“Cash had a great time with Jenny and Remy! Jenny sent us pictures throughout his stay and Cash and Remy played so well together! It was great to know Cash was well taken care of and had a friend to play with:) Cash is excited to go back to visit again!”
“This is the second time that max has stayed with Shannon. We've been really happy with him. We love to see his 3 dogs when we drop max off. I really like getting the video update. Would definitely recommend.”
“We had the best experience with Angie! Although we were 1st time users of Rover, from the moment we met Angie, we knew our beloved Thunder would be in the best hands possible for his very 1st overnight stay away from home. Angie kept us updated with periodic pics & videos throughout his stay with her, which was such an awesome touch. I hope our next Rover sitter will be able to live up to Angie's standards because she's set the bar very high!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and most farm animals since I was a kid. Going into my late 20s I really do have a passion in caring for any kind of animal and ensuring the best care possible. I'm currently working from home so my availability is flexible and open. I am more than happy to work with your fur babies at any given moment as long as i have a 24 hour notice. shoot me a message and i will work with your schedule the best i can. My dog gets treated like a human, she is spoiled and treated with so much love & care. She gets walks, playtime in the park, and treats as necessary
“Chelsey was a fantastic caretaker for Hawkeye while we were out of town! He loved her fenced in yard and all the walks she took him on. I loved that she sent photos and updates while we were away. She has a lovely home with a nice, fenced in backyard. We will definitely ask Chelsey to take care of our boy again!!”
“Deirdre was wonderful! She was very patient with us (we were late for our initial meeting) and with our dogs. She was very flexible when it came to drop off and pick up. Our dogs seemed very happy when they came home. Typically they are stressed when they come home from a boarding overnight and that wasn't the case this time. We would highly recommend her services!”
About: I was raised on a farm and have always had dogs growing up. I have been a pet sitter and dog walker for over a decade. I have cared for pets with specific medical needs requiring daily pills or shots and dogs post surgery. For some dogs, I would help work on their social skills by going to the dog park or downtown so they can be near people. I’ve been known to surprise my regulars with a new toy or treat, because my goal is to make your dog happy. If training is your goal, I can help you enforce those good habits. I’m most fully available mornings, evenings, and weekends. I currently work afternoons and at a church on Sundays. I'm in school full time, but classes are on zoom in the evenings, so I would be able to supervise your pet at that time. I have a dachshund in my home to keep your pet company. We have a large yard and we’re near several nature trails so there are plenty of options for releasing energy! We also have a sandbox (with a lid) if your dog likes to dig.
“Allen did a wonderful job taking care of our girl and was very responsive to messages as well as flexible with drop off and pick up times. We would definitely love to book with Allen again ?”
“Emily was awesome to work with to meet our needs as a first timer needing dog sitting and with the meet and greet with Daisy! Daisy’s 5 day stay with Emily was great! We were very satisfied.”
“Sonja & Tim did a great job watching Cody! Tim even refroze ice to keep the remaining food nice & fresh. Their pet dog looks just like my sisters, which he always loves to play with! Thanks Sonja & Tim”
“Savannah is awesome! She was super flexible and accommodating with my changing schedule. My dogs were so comfortable with her and her pups. My little dog can be spunky at times and doesn’t always warm up to others right away, but she went back to so bye to Savannah after she was already out the door. I have never seen her do this with anyone but me!”
“I loved boarding our puppy with Eric. He met Apollo before we booked just to make sure it was a right, which I really appreciated. Plus I got to meet him before I handed my puppy over. It was Apollo’s first time away from me and I felt like I could be stress free on a vacation knowing he was taken care of. And when we picked him up he seemed happy. Boarding with Eric was such a peace of mind!”
“Nicole took great care of my Sadie. Above and beyond. Kept her safe. Loved on her. Cared for her. Made sure I was comfortable and sent updates throughout Sadie’s stay. 100% recommend!”
