“Megan took care of my senior dog Reese without any issues. She kept me up to date with pictures and text messages. Reese seemed relaxed and rested when we got home versus going to a kennel. I highly recommend Megan for pet sitting and all services she provides.”
“Emily is very responsible, she drove from far away and even with the bad traffic she managed to make it to take care of Hazel. She treated my little girl with love and care, she did everything that I asked of her. She also sent me pictures and videos while I was away. Hazel loved her! I highly recommend her to take care of your pet.”
“Crystal was AMAZING! This was our first big trip leaving our pup behind but luckily we found Crystal. Instead of moving our pup out of her familiar environment, Crystal stayed at our house and took care of business. Our pup was comfortable while bonding with Crystal and Jadon. She provided our pup toys (that she brought), treats (that she brought), and endless attention. Not to mention a ton of photos that helped me relax more on our vacation. Crystal is professional and does an excellent job at what she does. My family and I plan to hire her in the near future when we go on other vacations. You will not regret hiring Crystal!”
“Darian was amazing! She house sat for our three cats, two dogs, and backyard chickens. She gave us peace of mind knowing she was responsible, caring, and professional. She really cared for our animals like they were her own. We will definitely be asking her to take care of our girls again in the future and I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: Life is Good with pets! I have been providing professional pet care services for dogs for over 5 years. I have always had different dogs in my life from childhood to adulthood. I’ve seen how happy my own pet is from taking him on regular walks and I am excited to provide this same experience for other pets. I have a large, fenced yard in a semi-rural neighborhood, and I enjoy taking dogs on nice long walks. Pets are allowed on furniture to snuggle and I am also happy to crate train pets, if preferred. I am currently working from home, so I have most of my time to give attention and love to your pet. I am happy to provide these services at all times. I have plenty space and a fenced yard for your pet to play or simple go on potty breaks, if needed. The services requested will be depending on the customers offer :)

“We felt so comfortable not only leaving our dogs with these two but having them stay in our home while we left for the holidays. Our dogs had an amazing time and were incredibly loved and looked after. So many cute picture and video updates too! They covered all bases and were kind enough to ask us if we needed plants watered, anything else taken care of, etc. Will definitely use them again!”

About: I have experience with cats and dogs, but I am open to try working with all animals! I am a retired social worker with 32 years of caring for seniors and foster children. I have a caring heart and I would have lots more pets if I could. This will give me the opportunity to love your animals and fill my heart. I retired two years ago after 32 years in the social services industry and I just finished my first year of substitute teaching part-time. I love animals and have heard great reviews for Rover. I have a fenced in back yard because I have one small 5 year old Teddy Bear. I have two extra cranes that I can use, if needed. I also have a garage, just in case. My husband is also retired and an animal lover, in case I need help. We also visit dog parks, if that is an option for your dog. Also live in a walking development. Our dog loves cartruck rides, so that is an option.
About: I have had animals my entire life: birds to horses and all in between! After purchasing a puppy and having a senior dog with past medical problems, I understand how important it is to find a safe and happy haven for your pet while you are away! I am happy to provide care for seniors who need special care as well as puppies who need a lot of play! I can send photo updates and FaceTime videos if you want to have even more contact with your pet. You’re comfort and pets happiness is my priority! They will become part of my family while you are out, providing the care I would expect for my own four legged family members. God Bless! And thanks for visiting my page! My husband and I own a small farm. We have chickens, pigs, goats, turkeys and our two Dogs Evie and Remmy. I work from home full time so pet care provided 24/7 for everyone. We have a fenced yard/ field. My pets go outside about every hour for potty and fetch breaks. We also have great time and nightly cuddles on the couch. I am able to accommodate senior dogs to high energy dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12 years old. I grew up in a neighborhood so it wasn’t hard to find people who needed pet care. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me for overnight, boarding, walking and feeding. I am not currently working full time so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. It will switch to evenings and weekends once I start work again. Neighbors have always trusted me to be in their homes and with their pets. I have watched them for weeks at a time so this required being unsupervised with access to the property
About: I have haloed my grandma with her dog Marlee since the day we got her , I will care for her when my grandma is out of town or I’ll go get her for a weekend .

“Tammie cared for my dog who suffered from PTSD and had several triggers for unfavorable behaviors. She took the time to learn the things that set him off so that she would be sure not to do them so that he felt safe and instructed the rest of her family how not to trigger him as well. She took extra special care of him and it was a comfort to me to know that he was being well-cared for in a way that wasn’t causing him more trauma during my absence.”
