About: Since I was little I have been exposed to wide array of pets from cats to dogs to bunnies. In my house hold I have always had pets growing up from chihuahuas to Mastiffs. I currently own two standard schnauzers, they are the lights of the life and taken almost everywhere with me. I’ve taken several classes regarding dog training and therapy dogs. I love animals and understand that each pet is different with needs, I look forward to taking care of your pet! Pet care fits easily into my schedule as I work for my husband as a secretary and have a good amount of free time for freelance work. I often watch family members dogs during the day or while away on vacation. I love having a detailed list of instructions regarding your pet, favorite toys, food, treats, do’s and dont’s. No one knows their pet like the owner does and I love to have great detail about the pet so I can respect their home and space. It is most important that the pet trust me so I feel it is important to have a meet up prior to any boarding or extending watching periods.

“Our dog has special medical needs so we can’t trust just anyone with her care. Rachelle made us feel comfortable right away and our dog loved her. We will definitely be using her when I go back to work in the office.”
About: I've taken care of multiple family members dogs since I was 16 years old. I also take care of friends dogs and cats on a regular basis. I'm currently in figuring out my next steps for continuing school, so I have lots of free time to care for your pet! I also coach youth soccer part time, but this takes place in the evenings and for a few hours over the weekend. For services in my own home, I have a dog to keep your pet company and live in a great neighborhood to take them for walks in! During the winter, I also frequently visit a local golf course which acts as a huge dog park. During the summer, I have access to a private swimming pool that I take dogs to as well. For services in your home, I would make sure to follow all directions given to me to ensure that your pets are cared for as if you were taking care of them yourself! I could also bring my dog for playdates, if desired.
“Sydney did a great job with our dog Bella. She was very communicative and stayed in touch.”
“Lynn is a true professional, she understands dogs personalities and behaviors, either you have that gift or you don't...Lynn does. Our 1 year old Aussie warmed up to Lynn instantly. From our meet and greet throughout Lynn's daily walks we were consistently impressed with Lynn's punctuality, and communication. To summarize, Lynn is extremely reliable, highly trustworthy, competent, and totally professional. Our dog can be skeptical at times but really loved Lynn. Lynn went above and beyond assisting with our ongoing training with her and made some great suggestions on training techniques. Lynn asked all the right questions. We will definitely use her again! Highly recommended!”
About: I have 3 pups that mean the world to me, but still miss my #1 boy that sadly passed away to an autoimmune disease. I have experience with puppies having raised all 4 from just a couple months and puppy training With Parker getting sick I also have experience giving medicine and taking care of elderly dogs. I understand each one has their different needs and aim to give them as much love while they're in my care. I currently work overnights so I'm free the rest of the day after 9 am. When I get home I take the pups out and feed them. They get treats for finishing their food and then it's playtime! I have plenty of space for pups to run around and live down the road from a dog park that's usually pretty empty. I also take the pups to a trail nearby that leaves them tired out.

“Lianna was wonderful! I knew my fur baby was being well taken care of. She knew I was anxious leaving my baby so she sent me multiple pictures of every outing so I could see how Tessie was? She was prompt, fed Tessie and made sure she took her medicine everyday for her chronic condition. I highly recommend Lianna if you are in need of pet sitter/walker. I have already booked her again for my next out of town trip when I cannot take my baby.”

McKenna M.
“I highly recommend McKenna to care for your pet! She has been an incredible caregiver to our two dogs, an 8-year-old and a 4-year-old, showing consistent patience, love, and dedication. She is always willing to take the time to play with them, whether it’s an exciting game of fetch or a fun tug-of-war session. She’s also great about getting them out for walks, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. What stands out most about her is her natural connection with animals. She has a deep understanding of their needs, always ensuring they feel loved and safe. Whether it’s keeping them company or ensuring they follow their daily routines, she is both responsible and intuitive, making sure our dogs are comfortable and happy. I’m confident she would provide excellent care for any pet she looks after on Rover.”
