About: I’ve been in a constant home of taking care of animals from a young age. I’ve trained over 6 dogs for basic training and have homed three cats. I’m versatile when it comes to new puppies as well as senior dogs. I’m a part time student so I’m mostly free in the evenings on weekdays and the weekends. For stop-bys and walks, I’m also free anytime before 9 am. In my own home I’ve got a lot of land for my own pets to roam within our land boundaries. Walking is a big part of giving pets time for exercise as well as calmer inside moments along with breakfast and dinner. Taking animals on rides to introduce them to different aspects of our world (exposure- therapy).
“Was able to accommodate me last minute. Met beforehand and was immediately happy with how well she got along with my pets. Kept great updates and plenty of amazing pictures. Easy to get a hold of when needed and made my first Rover experience amazing.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, I have a cat currently and family members have always had dogs and cats. I volunteered at the Humane Society throughout high school and have lots of experience pet sitting! 😻 I also used to foster kittens which I loved doing. I love being around animals and caring for them. I am a student working part time, so that gives me plenty of free time to check in on your furry friends throughout the day, take them on walks, and spend the night with them! I am a trustworthy person who will respect your space as I would my own and leave it better than I found it. I have my EMT-b certification and am working currently as an RBT, so I have been through several background checks and first aid trainings. Safety and trust are very important to me and if desired I can frequently send you pictures/videos of your pets throughout the day! 🫶

About: I grew up on a working farm, so I've cared for all kinds of animals throughout my life. My family and I bred, raised, and sold labrador puppies for many years. Neighbors and friends have also relied on me to feed, walk, and house sit their pets. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is flexible allowing me to cater to your timeline. I prefer a week in advance notice, but if you're in need of last-minute care please reach out, I'd love to try and help. I live in a very rural area, perfect for walks and outdoor play with your pet! I have a fenced yard, pet-friendly indoor space, and crates for your fur baby if needed. *Please note* I do have a toddler, so if your pet is not child-friendly, please notify me in advance.
About: I’ve had pets of all sizes, shapes, and needs. I’d love to take your dog for a walk, feed your bearded dragon, or snuggle with your cat. Working from home allows me the flexibility to give special attention or break for a walk any time of day! Your pet will love laying at my feet, exploring my fenced in back yard, or getting some exercise on a walk around town. I have a fenced in yard and an old, friendly dog and 3 cautious cats to keep your pet company. Your pet will have run of the house like they’re at home. I am happy to crate your pet if that is your preference.
“My dog and I were in town for the weekend and Paige took great care of my pup while I had to be gone all day for a wedding. He was happy and calm when I got back to my Airbnb on Saturday night, instead of having pent-up energy. I was pretty nervous about leaving him in the care of a strange person in a strange place but Paige was the right person for the job. She followed my instructions and communicated with me throughout the day. Thank you, Paige!!”

About: What sets me apart from all sitters is my deep depth for all animals. As a child, I have always developed a love for animals. My love and compassion for animals spilled over into the education field working with students with special needs. Presently, I have four rescue cats, two classroom guinea pigs, and four dogs, one of which is a rescue. I volunteer with my country's animal shelter, and I have fostered and saved many animals. My love for critters is endless. I am a teacher, so teachers do not work in the summer. However, I do work teaching summer school and a camp in June. I can work evenings and remain overnight. I have the entire month of July off. My children are grown, so my schedule is flexible. I can provide references. I live in a secluded area, so when I am home, they have free range. My dogs are leash trained. During the day when I am home, they remain in a crate. I live six minutes from work, so they arent in their crates all day. My oldest daughter lives with me, so when I am away, they are taken care of.

Sophia M.
“When I first got my dog Bear, he was only about 8 weeks old and still very much in the middle of potty training and adjusting to a routine. About a month later, my friend watched him for a week while I was away, and she did such an amazing job with him. She was so patient, gentle, and consistent, and I could tell she really cared about helping him feel safe and comfortable. Bear completely bonded with her during that time, and to this day, he gets so excited every time he sees her. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again.”
