We had a walkaround the house with Rochelle. Rochelle was attentive and took lots of pictures. You can tell that she takes the care of our pups and the house very seriously. After learning the house, Rochelle observed the correct food portions and fed the pups. She is so loving to the pups.

Sierra took such wonderful care of our dog and two cats, and we look forward to working with her next time we have a trip. This was our older dog’s first time staying home for a trip (she’s usually boarded), and Sierra did a fantastic job caring for her. Her communication was frequent and prompt, and she sent lots of great photos for us to see how our pets were doing while we were gone for the week. Certainly recommend Sierra for all your petsitting needs!

John(Jack) has been awesome to our pup, Pickle. We work out of town a few days a week and he is always prompt and knows how to keep Pickle happy and worn out! Pickle’s mood has improved drastically since he’s been doing his checkins with her. Cannot recommend him enough!

About: Every dog, cat, and critter gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection. Your pet will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box. I pay keen attention to their needs, wait patiently for pets to trust me, and show up exactly when I say I will. I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility this summer for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and new clients and I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I pay close attention to each animal's cues, take the time to build genuine trust, and am someone you can count on — on time, every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be. My schedule is flexible. If it works for you, it works for me. Above all else, I believe communication and timeliness are everything. You'll always hear from me promptly, whether it is confirming a booking, giving an update mid-visit, or letting you know about anything unexpected. No guessing, no chasing me down, just reliable, responsive care you can count on. When I'm in your home, your pet's comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely including feeding schedules, walking routes, any quirks or preferences because familiarity and consistency are what keep animals calm and happy in their parents absence. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own, and I'm always in close communication so you're never left wondering how things are going. Further, I know that inviting someone new into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, please be assured I'm direct, honest, and an open book.

Allyson was a great catsitter to my 2 cats Linkin and Ollie! She was always on time, and she took lots of photos which made me happy to see! She seemed to have gained the trust of my 2 cats which can be challenging, and they seemed to get along with her great! I would highly recommend her as a catsitter to anyone.

About: ***4.9 rating due to a client submitting 4 stars vs 5 by mistake *** My repeat clients keep me busy, but feel free to message me if you don't see dates available. 🐾 Be sure to check out my reviews and pictures of cute pups! Hey! First, I want to thank you for visiting my page! Feel free to call me Nikki! I specialize in pupcare for small breed pups(20 lbs max). Be sure to check out the pics to see some cute pups! I have 2 small breed fur babies and have a deep love for animals. Your pups will be cared for like my own. Your fur babies will be entertained, cuddled and loved during their stay! Pet care is apart of my daily routine. I work from home and we start our day around 8 am. We have at least 4 potty breaks in our personal fenced in area. It's small, but a perfect size for small breed pups! I also provide daily walks based on each owners preference. I have 2 friendly small breed pups. Sage is 9 lbs and Chico weighs 13 lbs. They love to play with new friends. If your pup is a TV watcher I also have a DOGTV subscription! My space is not huge, but I can guarantee your pups will get lots of exercise and love! My pups are apart of my family so they are allowed anywhere we are in the home. I currently care for crate trained and/or partially trained dogs. I only board small breed dogs due my apartment not being huge and I want to ensure your pup has enough space to play and be comfortable . Before accepting boarding requests I do ask that your Rover profile be updated with all necessary information to ensure safety, including updated pictures and updated weight of your pups. My max weight limit is 15 lbs. Feel free to message me if you have any questions. I am conveniently located less than a mile off of Exit 92(Ashland).

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my calm, attentive approach and my background in caregiving. I have many years of experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs who need extra patience, slower walks, and thoughtful routines. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and adjusting activity levels to meet each dog’s needs. On walks, I’m happy to let dogs take their time, especially senior dogs who benefit from slower pacing and plenty of sniffing. I genuinely enjoy engaging with dogs who like to play, while also respecting the boundaries of dogs who prefer a quieter, gentler presence. My professional background in caregiving has taught me the importance of reliability, attentiveness, and respecting rules and routines. I take pet owners’ instructions seriously and care for dogs with kindness, empathy, and consistency, so they feel safe and well cared for. I work Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. During the workweek, I’m available for morning and evening walks, drop-ins, and care. When I’m house sitting, I can provide morning and evening walks, and on Thursdays and Fridays I work from home, allowing for additional presence and a midday check-in or walk during my lunch break. On weekends, I have more flexibility and availability, which allows me to be more present and attentive to pets who benefit from extra time, companionship, or a relaxed routine. I will come to you and your furry friends. I follow routines as closely as possible and create a calm, safe, and respectful environment. In my clients’ homes, I take time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and boundaries. I carefully follow all instructions around feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and household rules. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, energy, or appetite and communicate clearly with pet owners so they feel informed and at ease. I adjust my care based on each pet, whether that means slower, sniff-friendly walks for senior dogs, gentle play for dogs who enjoy engagement, or quiet companionship for pets who prefer space. I keep homes clean, maintain litter boxes or feeding areas, and make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while their people are away.

Steven is a rockstar!! He is trustworthy and flexible. He also was so helpful in letting us know that our back up sump pump battery was beeping due to a power outage. We were quickly able to get someone over to assist. Had we not known this, the rain could have led to a flood in our basement. Steven is more than a dog sitter!! So very helpful and we’re grateful to have him help us when we need him! Book him NOW!! Don’t hesitate!! do it.
