“Our puppy has separation anxiety from her home so we can’t board her anymore. We tried Rover for the 1st time with Andy when we came home from vacation Saddie was just fine, you could tell she was very well taken care of. Andy sent pictures every day which was very helpful. We will definitely have Andy watch her on our next vacation.”
“Jack is amazing!! He was able to accommodate multiple visits in a day for my puppy on a short notice. He is very communicative, left detailed reviews for each visit with multiple adorable pics. He provided care that was above and beyond. I knew my puppy was in good hands I highly recommend!!!”
“I love being able to always count on Deanne to follow through on her commitments. I was gone for 11 hours and it felt wonderful knowing my dogs would be let out. I appreciate the cute photos she sends too and how the app tells you when she came and left.”
About: I’ve grown up with two dogs—one small and one large—so I’m comfortable handling all sizes. I enjoy caring for high-energy dogs just as much as calm, cuddly ones. Whether it’s playtime or downtime, I adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I do not have a job, I am looking but am currently unemployed and starting school again in August! I will have plenty of time to visit your pups this summer and even during school:) I have a fenced backyard with lots of space and trees for your dog to run around!! I have a Big German Shepard who is friendly and loves to play with other dogs outside!!
“Haylea is a fantastic sitter. She sends so many pictures and communicates so much information. I am happy to recommend her to anyone needing someone to take care of their best friend.”
“Ella was extremely accommodating to a last minute booking! She went above and beyond to stay a little longer with our pups, took them for walks and even brought them treats! We Will definitely book with her again! 10/10 recommend!”
“Fern is truly a 5-Star pet sitter. The pictures clearly show that our cat loves to be with Fern who gives him plenty of attention and looks after all his needs. We’ll definitely be booking Fern again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a kid, I also have experience as a kennel tech for over a year of helping with surgeries, recover, medication, anything under the sun I am comfortable doing it for your kiddo. I am comfortable with any dog or cat you throw at me, and of course make sure they feel loved and cared for. I work from home as a content creator or my whole day is pet care. The second I wake up I take my German shepherd for a walk before I even have my coffee in the morning, I include basic training alongside the walk as well. I get back from the walk and of course make sure my 3 cats are fed with all different dietary needs as my male cat has feline herpes so needs special treatment. I get ready for work but before I do I’ll take my dog out again, work, and basically is repeated from the morning. My main phrase I say is either what’s in your mouth or where’s your ball, even during work I will be throwing the ball for my dog, doing training on stream, or even telling my stream to pause as my dog needs attention. I devote every waking moment to my kids. Of course before I accept any job I would come and meet and your kids beforehand to make sure it is something I can handle and to get an idea how eat pet behaves.
“First time booking wirh Michelle. She lives in the same town, has all kinds of pets & loves cats. We scheduled a meet & greet to learn what the pets needed. I appreciated that very much. Michelle took fed & watered & took photos of my outdoor cats and also tried to have cuddle, offer affection & pet them time as booked, but cats werent used to her. I thanked her for trying. Good experience and very reliable.”
About: I'll provide the love and companionship your dog deserves. I love to take walks and hikes, and it's always much better with a dog by your side. I've had dogs my entire life, usually two at a time. I've had many years of experience taking care of my friends' dogs when they go out of town; either for weekends or weeks at a time. I treat ALL dogs with the same respect and care just as I would my own dogs. I’m so happy with my little Bailey she is now 4 years old and I love her so very much. I do have a full time job, but I am available most weekends for dog walks and drop in visits.I’m usually available after 6:00pm on Friday nights through Sunday nights. I’ll take the best care of your furry friends. I’m available most weekends to either walk your dog or for drop in visits. I’m happy to take your dog to the dog park to play and run. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I do have my own 4 year old Mini Australian Shepherd named Bailey. We go on many walks per day and she gets along so well with all furry friends.
“A first rate job taking care of my elderly cat. She was fed exactly on schedule and her dietary considerations were met as directed. My pet was played with, cuddled and visited by a conscientious and kind caretaker who I felt confident was respectful of my property. Chris is a treasure.”
About: I have had animals of all walks of life since I was a child. Dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, ducks, fish, bunnies and even a donkey. Animals have naturally been drawn to me and I have often been the only one to help an animal. I show all animals unconditional love and care. I have nursed senior dogs until they need to cross the rainbow bridge. I am available for early morning, afternoon and evening help. I work from home and have the flexibility to meet the needs of a pet in my care. I am not able to care for animals in my apartment. All services will be on site for the client and their pet. I will adhere to the clients wishes for their pet once we establish a relationship.
“Kelsey too such great care of our pup! She checked in with me during her drop in visits, sent pictures and provided a summary of her activities with Shiner at the end of the day. She is extremely pleasant, responsive and responsible. I 100% recommend her to take care of your pets!”
“Rylee did an outstanding job caring for our pups. She did everything we asked and we were at ease leaving them in her care. Rylee is very responsible and makes sure the dogs get enough exercise and outside time. I highly recommend booking her for any service you need with your dogs. Look forward to having her care for ours again! Thank you Rylee!”
“Carrie and family far exceeded our expectations. They took care of our cats even better than we do perhaps. We could not be more pleased. Communication was very good with pictures of the cats in action. We recommend them in the highest.”

Cailee H.
“If you’re looking for someone amazing with animals, look no further than Caliee. I can’t say enough great things about her—she’s just phenomenal. From the moment she started helping care for my dog and cats, I saw how naturally she connects with animals. She’s caring, intuitive, and genuinely kind, with a heart of gold. What sets her apart is how animals respond to her—it’s like they just get her. She guides and coaches them with ease, never harsh, but always in control. Honestly, I think my dog and cats might love her even more than they love me (and that’s saying something!). As someone who’s very protective of who spends time with my pets, I can say without hesitation: any animal in Caliee’s care is in the best hands possible. - Kari R.”
