“Jenell was absolutely amazing! She stopped in several times over the weekend to check on our Boone while we were getting married. She always sent a picture update and paid attention to all the little details that Boone likes to do around his home. Would definitely hire her again! Very professional, great communication, and a very warm heart. Our Boone is the most important thing to us and Jenell made sure we had nothing to worry about while we were away.”


“Alanna took excellent care of our little dog, Bailey! She was super attentive, prompt, and paid close attention to detail. We highly recommend Alanna and hope to work with her again soon!”



“I have not met a better pet sitter than Allison! She is thorough and will make sure your fur babies are taken care of. I would trust her to watch my kitties any time she is available! 😊”


About: I am open for Dog walking and house sitting for all sizes of dogs and cats, as well as general care for small critters such as rabbits, hamsters, fish, birds and guinea pigs. I also have many years experience with horses, goats, sheep, and pigs. I have a very flexible schedule at this time. I've been an animal owner since I was a child. Always had a dog and cats growing up, also had fish, birds, hamsters and rabbits over the years. Despite being a part time student I have all online classes so fitting in your pets needs are very easily done at any hour. I live in an area of many bike trails and walking paths as well as a personal fenced in yard for any dogs who don't have access to dog parks or have socializing issues in large groups. I am currently unemployed and looking for a Part Time job. I will schedule animal care around that future schedule. I miss my rover days when I switched to full time work prior. I treat every clients pets and home with respect and care for it as my own. When I'm house sitting i often supply my own snacks and such and tell pet owners they don't need to supply me. I stay within the set boundaries of each home as well.

“Toni went above and beyond! Not only did she take superior care of our little cavapoo, Bailey, she brought our garbage cans in from the curb and offered to check in on Bailey one more time if we were running late. Excellent care and service!!”


About: I’ve grown up with pets since a young age. I’ve dog sat for multiple friends and family- from puppies to senior dogs, as well as disabled. I love to make sure dogs feel as special as they make us feel. ❤️ I am my own boss, therefor, I have a super flexible schedule and can make really any specific times work. Weekdays and weekends, mornings and evenings. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I love to treat other’s pets as my own, and will always be aware of surroundings!

About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I connect with each animal and get to know what is normal behavior and what isn't so I can quickly identify if anything seems off. You can rest easy knowing you'll be immediately informed if anything seems concerning. And, I'll also provide updates with each visit, including pictures. I am an excellent communicator and very detail-oriented. I ask lots of questions during meet-and-greets to ensure there is no disruption in your pet's usual care and routine. I work from home and have a very flexible work schedule, so I can make frequent visits almost any day of the week. If your pet has health concerns (meds, needs to be fed at specific times, etc) or needs a specific schedule, I can accommodate for that the vast majority of the time. I will always communicate any schedule conflicts before finalizing a booking. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I approach animals I'm just getting to know on their terms so they can feel safe and secure. I am always sure to leave things in your home exactly how you want them, including cleaning up after myself or any pet messes I find.

About: Ever since I was a baby, I’ve always had a pup in my family. I love dogs all shapes, sizes and ages. I have done walking, drop in visits, and house sitting for long trips. I currently have a one year old girl at home; my sweet and goofy Mabel. I’ll love your pup as I love my own! I’m now working part-time, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I am most available during the afternoons and evenings the weekdays. Weekends are possible if needed. I am open to whatever your pet needs! If they need feeding, walking, or just some spoiling of treats and love, I am more than happy to provide.

“I was nervous about our vacation as we've never left Kirby alone for a long period of time. Paige was so good / patient with her. Love that she sent picture every day - I could see that Kirby was happy! Paige did a fantastic job, and she is definitely my go to person!”


About: I have extensive experience with dogs of all backgrounds and breeds, I've worked at a doggy Daycare for 2 years and in that time I have learned everything I possibly can about dog body language! I also have a neurotic 1.5 year old golden retriever puppy at home that has really taught me how to work with dogs that get overstimulated too easy, and also how important mental stimulation is! Currently I have a very set schedule! I go to school Monday-Thursday from 7:30am-3:30pm and after that I might work on some homework but I'm usually doing some enrichment activities with my families dog, like playing fetch, trick work, hide and go seek with treats, and whatever else I can think of! On Fridays I usually work 6:30am-11:15am and then 1:30pm-6pm, and every other Saturday I work 7am-11am! I will treat your house how I treat an expensive store that sells fragile ceramics, don't touch anything at all and barley look. When it comes to dogs I treat each one that I work with, with the utmost respect, I always let dogs come to me and I fully respect their boundaries! I also absolutely love doing some training work so if you have any tricks that you like to work on I would love to know!!

About: I have been a dog momma and lover for years. They are my world and I am theirs. Yours will be taken care of at the same level I care for my own! I am sincerely drawn to dogs when I see them. They've got so much love and joy to offer this world, how could you not? I have 3 labs currently and have trained all of my dogs from babies on up. We have almost always maintained a 3 dog household, they get walks everyday so long as the weather permits and plenty of playtime. Rest assured, your pup will be taken care of in the same respect and manner as I care for my own. I work from home so can make time for lunch time appointments if close enough to my home, I work until 5 so can be available in the evenings until 9pm, except for Wednesdays I have volleyball either at 6:30 or 7:30, but can still make appointments work in there. Also around most weekends except for family events here and there and two vacations we take a year. :) I protect them with my life. I love my babies so deeply and am so thankful I work from home so I get to be with them everyday. Yours will be treated no different. Dogs have so much love and joy to offer the world and they only deserve the same in return.

About: I have had animals throughout my entire life and really enjoy them all but there is a special place in my heart for dogs. I worked at a vet clinic for many years as well as pet sitting at that time. I enjoy training dogs as well as just taking them on long walks. "Anything is paw-sible with a dog by your side" I am a stay at home mom currently and I am looking to break out and have more adventures with the animals I care so much about. I'd like to start in your home and when it feels right I can always open up my home. I have a fenced in yard with a lot of room to play. In your home I will stay focused on your pet and treat them as I would my own.

About: I've always been around dogs of all kinds. Some of my first jobs were looking after the neighbor's and friends' canines. We also had dogs in our home during my childhood, and my wife and I also have a dog of our own. I would be happy to take care of your pet at the beginning or end of my work day. My work is fairly flexible as well! I love to care for animals exactly how they need to be cared for. I promise that I will look after your furry friends as if they were my own. I'm a youth pastor, so I am used to working in high-trust environments!
