“Karolina was a wonderful dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog, Hank, and kept him happy and comfortable while we were away. It was clear she really cared about him, and that gave us a lot of peace of mind. When we got home, everything was clean and just as we left it—she even tidied up before heading out. We will definitely be using Karolina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and thoughtful pet sitter!”


“We had never left our pets before and Donna took great care of them, providing us with daily updates and pictures, which made us feel comfortable being gone. We will definitely use Rover again as long as Donna is available!”


“We had Ron stay at our house and care for our dog, Ruby. Ruby was well taken care of, and the house was immaculate upon our return. I would definitely recommend Ron for caring for your animals.”


“Kim is a great communicator, was early for our arranged times, was well prepared, and extremely clean and professional. Our giant breed (St Bernard/English Mastiff cross) dog immediately befriended her and spent the weekend napping it up with her new "frem". Will definitely use Kim for future pet care needs!”


“Rachel is fantastic. She took great care of our super sweet giant snuggle pup and our house. She was incredibly prompt in responding to all of our messages, checked in regularly and sent pictures. She went not an extra mile but extra miles to provide a great experience. Thank you for being awesome to Red Cloud and to us Rachel!”



“Wow! Roxanne was terrific with my "particular princess" dog. She was on time, great with communication, extremely helpful and flexible (we were packing up things to go set up a party and she helped load, find things, keep the pup out of the way and tolerated all the ins and outs of people during the day). I had updates and pictures, which I love. Roxanne is a keeper! Much gratitude for making our day wonderful.”


“I was a little anxious leaving my dog for the first time. Especially with someone we didn’t know but Morgan was very patient with me. Explained the process and was willing to come by for a meet and greet before we booked and sent me pictures while I was away.”


“Sara was terrific! Last minute on my part and we were able to talk it through and work it out! I would definitely hire Sara again. She is very professional. It turns out she is close to my home, so I am considering taking my dog, to Sara's day care, to become more socialized. Thank you Sara.”


About: I provide a full-service experience. I groom, walk, play, and pamper your dog, all while giving them the kind of environment they need - whether that's calm and easygoing or fun and fast-paced. I treat every dog like they're my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved the whole time. I'm currently working part-time while going to college to become a nurse, but I dedicate all of my free time to caring for dogs. When I'm with them, they have my full, undivided attention, whether it's for play, walks, grooming, or just making them feel safe and loved. I'm available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and can work any time before 5 PM on those days. I'd love the chance to care for your pup like they're my own! Your dog's safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities. I only watch dogs in their own homes, where they feel most secure and relaxed in a familiar environment. I believe dogs do best when they're in their own space and surrounded by what they know and love. For walks, I take dogs through neighborhoods or in town, always choosing areas with good visibility and plenty of people around - just in case help is ever needed. If your dog is reactive, I don't push it. I spend time with them outside in the backyard, working on leash skills and commands in a safe, controlled way. If needed, I'm also comfortable using a crate to give a reactive dog space to calm down at their own pace, in their own spot. My goal is always to keep dogs safe, calm, and comfortable in their own little world - where they're happiest!

“Grace is amazing! She took such good care of my doodle. He normally gets reallystressed when I am away, and when I came home it was like I was never even gone. The house was kept tidy and my doodle was happy! Will definitely use Grace’s services again!!”


“It's always tough with a new sitter but Ari took great care of them. The best part was we came back to healthy and calm dogs, the house looked good, the tomato plants and fish alive!! She was an excellent active listener, had lots of experience and was above all loving to the dogs and sending us communication regularly. Thanks so much Ari!!”


“Karla was amazing with our 5 month old puppy. She stayed in our home and left it immaculate! We appreciated her love and care for our new puppy (we had lost our 12 year golden just a few days before our trip). She made sure our puppy got lots of love and attention. We will absolutely use Karla again.”


About: Anytime I watch an animal I do my best to keep them in there normal routine. This is especially important with young and senior animals. I have a senior pup and while he’s flexible with me, I understand the stress it can cause animals to be away from there family and out of the daily routine. I work full time caring for aquatic animals and when I come home I care for the furry kind! I have been house and dog/cat sitting for many years for co workers, friends, and my volunteers who I work with. I have always loved animals and care for yours like they are my own. I walk my dog first thing when I get home to get us both out of the house and enjoy exploring the outdoors. I have an unfenced yard but the animals never go out in supervised. I have 20ft leashes that easily reach the grass and farther for those who tend to wander.


About: I have 2 dogs of my own. Very flexible schedule. Grew up with dogs all of my life. I've cared for a variety of dogs.. from chihuahuas to Rottweilers. And any age. My dogs are very friendly, and could join for dog walks to make fur friends. I would love to help out with your pup, since we all have busy lives, and don't want them cooped up all day. I hope I can help out. I can do overnights, just would prefer dog walking and checking In. But we can discuss overnight stays if I work with you and your pup for a good amount of time. I can do drop bys frequently, since I have a flexible schedule. Thank you, and have a good day!

“This is our second time using Veronica, and she has been great. She took care of our dogs, cat, plants, and other things we requested. She sends daily update photos and loves our on pets while we're gone.”

Madyson W.
“Ever since Madyson was a little girl, she has had a love for dogs. She has taken care of and trained several family dogs and has taken care of other family's dogs while they are on vacation. Madyson has a gift with dogs and doesn't shy away from jobs such as bathing them, trimming their nails, and taking them on walks. In fact, other households have asked her specifically to come to their homes to trim their dog's nails. I have no doubt that Madyson would build a close relationship with your dog, and would have the utmost respect for both you and your pet.”
