Jessica is so kind, fun, and clearly is meant to be around animals in one way or another. My boys were THRILLED to see her every morning. She was helping me out as I’m dealing with cancer - her flexibility and understanding nature helped me trust her in my home and with my boys. Book her!

Grace has watched our pets many times. She has helped both with daily visits, and longer stays varying from the weekend to over a week. Both we and our pets (one large dog with anxiety and 2 skittish cats) love and trust Grace. She treats our pets with kindness and compassion after having taken the time to get to know them as individuals with unique needs and wants. She cares for them like we would, and always takes the cutest update pictures!

About: My partner, Anthony, and I are the Rover duo here! Together, we have a combined 20+ years of experience working with dogs. Anthony primarily does the house sitting and we both work together for boarding in our home. We currently have 2 dogs of our own who are both rescues. Arthur is our 6 year old playful, loving lab mix and Taz is our 4 month old sassy pit mix puppy! We love caring for pets and are excited to spread the love to more doggy friends! You can count on us to be reliable, respectful, engaged, and loving to your pets. We will ensure that they get exercise and the love they need while under our care. We will make sure the environment is safe for all pets and make sure your pet has access to food and water at all times. We work from home full time and will make sure your pet has the necessary potty breaks they need and will not be left in a kennel all day long. We love dogs and are excited to provide a safe + comfortable place for your pet so you can enjoy your time away from home knowing your dog(s) is/are in good hands. Anthony and I work from home, which makes pet care fit very easily into our daily and weekly routine. We have 2 dogs of our own and we never leave them home alone longer than 4 hours. We have a fenced-in yard. The yard is safe and a great size to give your pet ample space to run around and exercise. We also have outdoor cameras to monitor if we are not outside with them.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life, they are just like my family. Many friends and family have relied on me for their dogs. I currently work PRN at the hospital so I will have lots of time for your pups! I am usually available on such short notice. I have a fenced in backyard, treats, two dogs who love to meet new friends, and plenty of space! I am always happy to kennel pups if necessary.

Lexi did great with Dove and gave us updates as she checked on our dog for a couple walks while we were out of town. It was an incredibly hot day and she took care of her to make sure she got outside but didn’t overheat.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs pretty much my whole life. I’ve always lived in a multi dog family. We always had at least 3 dogs when I was growing up and I currently have two myself! All sizes/ages and different breeds as well. I own my own business so I get to make my own schedule most days which gives me plenty of time to come hangout with or play with dogs! Your pets will be given the most attention and time they deserve while you are out. They will get all the love and whatever else you need me to do while they’re in my care!

John has had three dogs in his lifetime. All over 75lbs. He went to all training classes for our second dog Goose and has been 100% consistent with commands. He currently is doing all of the training for our 8 month old Golden Retriever puppy. All three dogs have had special medical concerns including medication he has provided. He understands that played with and exercised dogs are happy dogs! John is an animal lover. He has also experience with our cats over the years. As well as 4 foster kittens and 4 foster puppies! John is a super responsible and trustworthy pet lover. Instructions will be followed with care and lots of love (and treats if allowed)!

Dawn has been a personal friend of mine for over 15 years and cared for my pets on many occassions while I've been gone. I've always been very happy with her care she has provided for my pets. She provided me with updates while I was gone sending me daily pictures of my pets to let me know they wre okay. Dawn is a very loving pet owner herself who provides exceptional care for my pets in my home and I would highly recommend her as a living pet caregiver.

About: As a person who showed, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, chickens, and pigs in 4H as a kid, who has recently taken a interest and love for exotics and adopted a gecko, I've seen it all. I grew up on a farm with just about every kind of animal under the sun. I've bottle fed baby goats back to health, trained our 5 dogs with love and respect, bathed goats on a hot summer day, and stayed up at night to be there during the birth of baby kittens, goats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. But after all these years, I still don't mind the trouble and heart ache of loving these animals fully, even if it means having to take a lint roller to your shirt covered in dog fur. As a college student living on campus during the Fall-Spring I have just enough time to care for my Crested gecko Calcifer in between classes and work. But when Im at home for breaks like during the summer and winter, I am sure to give all my love to all the critters I have been missing at home. Over these seasonal times off from school I have a break from my on campus job, So I have plenty of time to work on my side gigs, like pet sitting, selling my art at markets, and helping my family build our new house. First and foremost always come the clients instructions and care requirements, they are the pets parent and know whats best for them. But I will always go above and beyond to meet my own personal standard of pet care, of course this very depending on the type of pet. But, typically for standard pet sitting it includes 2-3 house visits a day, regular morning and evening feedings (with a couple treats here and there of course!).

About: I’ve worked many positions such as doggy daycare provider, in a veterinary clinic, animal rescues, as well as pet sitting and taking care of my own fur babies! I personally have two cats and a dog of my own, animals take up the majority of my time during the day whether that’s paying them attention or meeting their needs- I’m quite attentive. Their needs will always be a top priority. I’m fond of frequent walks, playing ball or any other variety of their favorite activity, belly rubs, I’m also knowledged in feedings and medications for varying needs. If there’s anything specific you need don’t hesitate to ask!
