“I wish I could give 11 stars. Leanne replied quickly to all of my questions and concerns. One of our pups is older and requires some extra love and attention, and I can tell it was provided (and then some). I highly recommend, and we'll be using in the future.”


“Iroh and Riley both adore Cheyanne and her husband. I feel comfortable leaving them with Cheyanne and her husband and know they will be taken care of. Both my dogs are well taken care of and come home happy and tired.”


“Katie is AMAZING!! This was the first time Guinness stayed with someone he didn’t know. She sent me pictures of him all weekend with updates on how he was doing, which really put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my weekend away!!”


“Cameron is a top tier person and sitter. On top of being very responsive and responsible, Cameron is extremely knowledgeable about pups and is eager to learn more. My pups recently stayed with Cameron over the Thanksgiving holiday. Cameron stood out to me due to his positive reviews. For my longer/further trips I try and avoid the sitters keeping many customers dogs at once, due to my Aussie being anxious in these types of settings with the inflows/outflows of my dogs. With Cameron having a single well-behaved dog, JJ, he stood out in my eyes among the Rover sitters. Prior to my trip, I shared that my Aussie is slower to warm up than most pups and Cameron had the idea of introducing them on a walk. He generously offered a couple hours of his time to go for a walk and this effort allowed my dogs to warm up in a familiar and comfortable setting. Over the stay I received photos every day as well as communication on how they interacted with JJ, eating, walking etc. These updates put my mind at ease, knowing they were in great hands. During the stay, my Aussie nipped JJ on the nose and Cameron masterfully handled the situation, separating the pups as needed for the remainder of the trip. I would highly recommend Cameron for your dog’s sitting needs as he showcased that he is top tier sitter when things go to plan and when there are unexpected variables to overcome.”



“10/10 First time leaving our little man Biggie with anyone and Katie was amazing! Kept us up to date with pictures and messages. Would definitely recommend! Thank you Katie for watching Biggie. He enjoyed his time with you!”

“It was my first time using Amie as a dog sitter and she made me feel very comfortable with leaving my Roxy with her. Roxy was very happy there (I received lots of pictures from Amie!) I will definitely be using Amie again in the future!”


“Brandon went above and beyond with our dogs! He sent pictures and kept us updated on how they were doing. Highly recommend and will definitely use him again! Very happy with the care our dogs received.”


“I don't know if my dog wanted to leave. It was evident he was happy to be there. He had a blast playing with the pups and access to roam free in the yard was, I'm sure, so great for him. They treated him like a king. It was great peace of mind! You won't be disappointed here! Book with confidence.”

About: As a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I’ve personally raised and cared for animals of all ages, from rambunctious puppies and curious kittens to calm and loving senior pets and I’ve seen several of my own pets through their full life spans. This has given me deep experience in providing age-appropriate care, whether that means extra playtime and training for younger pets or gentle attention and medication support for seniors. I’m comfortable and experienced with most dog and cat breeds, from small lap dogs to large, energetic pups, and from independent cats to cuddly companions. I know that every animal has a unique personality and needs, and I take pride in getting to know each one individually to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. One of the biggest advantages I offer is that I work from home full time. That means your pet will never be left alone for long periods and will get consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a calm environment, lots of affection, structured routine, or just someone to hang out with, I’m here to provide that kind of care in a homey, stress-free setting. I genuinely treat every animal I care for like family, and that means tons of love, playtime, cuddles, and comfort while you're away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I work from home full-time, my schedule is very flexible, and I’m home throughout the day to provide consistent care and companionship. I build my day around the pets I’m caring for, whether that means morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or cuddle breaks in between work tasks. I love having animals around; they bring joy, routine, and energy to my day. I have a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time, fresh air, and play. My home is pet-friendly and full of love my kids adore animals and enjoy helping care for them, offering even more companionship for your pet while they’re here. We also have a sweet 3-year-old dog named Storm, who’s been around both dogs and cats her whole life. She’s laid-back, friendly, and used to having furry friends around. Because I don’t have to commute or leave the house for long periods, I’m able to give pets my full attention and adjust to their individual needs, including potty breaks, medications, or just some quiet time if they’re more relaxed. On weekends, I enjoy taking dogs on longer walks or play sessions in the yard or at nearby pet-friendly parks (with your permission, of course). Caring for pets isn’t just something I squeeze into my schedule, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. When pets stay in my home, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would at home. I start by learning about their routine, habits, and preferences so I can maintain consistency with feeding, potty breaks, sleep, and play. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to run in the yard or prefers to nap in a quiet corner, I adjust my care to meet their individual needs. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. Inside, pets have free roam of the main living areas, unless you prefer otherwise. I offer plenty of one-on-one attention, including playtime, snuggles, and positive reinforcement. For pets that need a crate, I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep their routine consistent. I work from home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. I also have a friendly dog named Storm who’s used to being around both dogs and cats. Cleanliness, safety, and affection are my top priorities. I make sure pets always have access to clean water, follow any dietary or medical needs, and create a calm, welcoming environment where they can feel right at home.
