“Wade was absolutely wonderful to my two dogs! He kept me updated everyday with how the dogs were doing plus tons of pics that my 2 year old absolutely loved! I will definitely recommend wade and I will definitely be using him again!”

“Amber was the perfect pet sitter when we couldn't travel with our dog Khyro during the holidays. My wife and I loved the daily updates and pictures/videos. It made us feel markedly better knowing he was enjoying his time away from us. Khyro definitely didn't make it easy on her, because he was prescribed an antibiotic and a topical cream for an open wound the day of dropoff! But Amber had no problem administering the drugs, and his wound was all healed when we got back. Khyro can't wait until the next time he spends time with Amber and her wonderful family.”

“Drop off and pick-up were easy. Finding the location was easy, with accurate directions. They took care of both my big dogs for the weekend. I met Faith a few days before with my dogs to see the property because I was nervous for first time leaving them with a stranger. Both dogs took to her immediately. I was pleasently suprised my nervous dog took to her husband so easily, too. They had crates and bowls so I only had to send food, treats, toys, and their beds. We are definitely using their services again!”

“I was happy with Muddy's stay at Brian's. He has a ton of experience and it was clear Muddy was in excellent hands. The communication was great, and I definitely would recommend Brian!”

“Meghan and her family took such great care of our pups. She checked in often and reassured me they were doing great. They came home happy! Would definitely recommend Meghan to take care of your pets.”

“Heather is always so great with our Braz! She treats him like family and sends tons of updates while we are away. She’s always so friendly and understanding. We definitely will be booking with her again!”

“Jody was extremely pleasant to work with. She was friendly immediately upon meeting her and interacted with our dogs like they were her own. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”

“She did great with our cat Smokey! Will definitely book again. She was very understanding of the storm and pick up times being pushed back. Also sent pictures to update us regularly on our boy! Couldn’t be more happy! 10/10 recommend her & we will be back!”

“Mar is great to Molly. Even when a family emergency came up and I had to extend the visit unexpectedly, Mar was super helpful and accommodating. Molly gets excited when we pull up to the house, so I know she is in good hands and has a great time when she's there.”

About: I've had pets all my life cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, Bunnies, and taken car of horses. I love animals and am not afraid of their messes. During the summer I have plenty of time to take care of pets though during the school year certain times of day I won't be available due to classes. I've learned to come at pets with the caution they need. I'm very friendly and always want to be sweet to pets but I can be tough if the situation calls for it to not let animals walk all over me. I love animals and like taking the time for their needs.
About: I have spent my entire life around animals, caring for them and making their lives as meaningful as possible. It began on my families old dairy farm when I was a child, and carried into my 15 year involvement within the veterinary/pet care industry. My passion for creating a safe environment for all animals has guided me to Rover, so I can operate my own business to my own high expectations of love and care for your pets! I have a vast amount of knowledge across all facets of the animal world including medical, behavioral, and enrichment. Pairing my knowledge with my nurturing instinct, unwavering love for animals, and gentle patience; it provides me with the skills and approach to give your fur-baby the best experience aside from being with you! I am a full time pet caregiver! I have flexibility 7 days a week to accommodate any and all scenarios for you and your fur babies! I am available to watch your pet in my home as well as yours. I do have indoor dens for your pup to stay in when not outside with me. I have all types of toys available per your preference. I have water, food, and treats available! I am also experienced in topical, oral, and injectable administration. I will be able to walk your dog multiple times throughout the day. I also have a quiet area for your cat as well!
About: I have loved and cared for 10 of my own fur friends(6 dogs, 4 cats) and been so lucky to love and care for many many more. From farm to house to tank to pen I have cared for pretty much everything except insects and arachnids. I've spent nights with road side rescues that became beloved family members, I've taken my bottle feeding resuce squirrel camping in a shoe box in my sleeping bag, I've fed horses and chickens in a blizzard. I've gently loved the old ones that are hanging on just a little bit longer and I've welcomed the brand new ones to this great big world. I am currently working part-time and have the flexibility to work around your schedule. Overnights and holidays are available with at home and boarding options. Lots of walks! I do have one friendly dog and a cat in my home with the ability to keep everyone separate if needed. Crating is also an option. Lots of love and attention. Your home or mine.

About: Ive taken care of dogs every size. teaching new tricks, going on walks, and ice cream is something I enjoy doing with a fur baby I currently work full time night shift. I work 12 hrs shifts so my other 4 days during the week are open to helping other animal lovers with their babies. Because without the help I receive on my work days I would b very stressed. I have an unfunded yard but I love going on walks. Me and my dog ( henny) are always going hiking, fishing, to the dog park, or just out for a car ride. Henny loves all dogs and has lots of energy to play.
