Laura was the best pet sitter for my 2 dogs and 2 cats for in-home care. They all accepted her from the first meeting. She respected everything in the house and though it wasn’t expected had tidied the house before our arrival home making for a great homecoming. I will certainly have her care for the pets again.

I felt so comfortable and relieved having Joslin look after my dog. She followed all his routines carefully to ensure he was happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. Thank you so much!

Kairi is fantastic! Our dog is a rescue so finding someone we trust to take care of her that she likes is so important. Kairi treated our dog like her own! We have already booked her again!

We feel lucky to have found Ronda! Our pup is very shy and nervous, but Ronda was able to win her over with love and cuddles. Mia was not as “unhappy “ when we came home, which was clear to me she had great care and love. We also appreciate that she left our house as though she was never there.

Delaney saved our last minute trip by agreeing to stay with our cat. Her love of animals was immediately obvious. She is very prompt about responding to messages but did not initiate any herself. This is the only reason I am giving her 4 instead of 5 stars. I did request updates and although she did a good job of staying with our cat, as previously noted she only responded to my request on how things were going. This may have been due to a communication error since both she and I are new to the Rover program. I will try and be more clear in my future requests. Bottom line go with Delaney with confidence.

Alexis is absolutely the best sitter! This is the 3rd sitting job she has done for my pups in the last month and every time she has been fantastic and my pups absolutely love her. The house is always spotless and the dogs are so well cared for. She’s absolutely the best choice for this area!

About: Hello, and welcome. We are excited to host your furry family member! My husband and I have been caring for animals all of our lives and enjoy the company. I also have over a year of experience working as a vet tec assistant as well so your four legged friend is in wonderful hands. While here they will have run of the house, or enjoy time outside in one of our two dog yards. One is connected to our living room and has access to the garage. The other is separate incase your pooch likes thier own space. We take your pooches on walks ans if they would like they can visit the animals on the ranch ( on leash of course) We like to keep busy and understand that our fur babies do as well! I am an entrepreneur and work on my own schedule. This allows me to adjust my hours as needed when I have animal guests in my home. We are set up to provide a variety of options from fenced in yards, dog runs for extra play time or private spaces for those who need more specialized care.

If I could sum Talon up in one word it would be AMAZING! She was right on time and our dogs loved her immediately - it usually takes time for them to warm up to new people, but they sensed her “dog whisperer” side. You will not go wrong by booking with Talon. Looking forward to our next trip knowing our dogs will be taking very well care of.

About: I’ve been a lifelong pet person, the kind who always stops to say hi to dogs on the sidewalk and somehow ends up fur on every outfit. I’ve owned dogs my whole life (big ones with even bigger personalities) and have fostered over 50 kittens through the HSBH so I’m no stranger to fur or chaos. I’m great at following routines, staying on schedule, and yes, even convincing the occasional stubborn pup that their pill is actually a treat. Whether your pet wants a hiking buddy, a lap to nap on, or just someone who gets their vibe, I’m here to help. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits. Weekends are wide open, so whether your pet needs extra playtime, snuggles, or just someone to keep their routine steady while you’re away, I’ve got the time and the treats. Let’s work out a schedule that keeps everyone happy. I stick to your pet’s routine, whether that means feeding on a schedule, getting the wiggles out with a walk, or just being nearby for company. I’m patient, reliable, and locally-trusted. Also, fair warning: I’m an obsessive pet photographer. You’ll get plenty of photo updates while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved, and that you feel totally at ease leaving them in my care.

About: When me and your dog get together, and I’ll drop off your dog. Your dog will tell you how much they enjoyed the excitement and plans, but we did the amount of walks we do in the amount of time to play play fetch go to the dog park go on a run, the amount of snacks that we eat it’s like a dream come true just in dog form. I love my dog and being outside so I will love your dog just as much maybe more! Every day of the week Sunday through Sunday whenever I can play with your dog or changes going on a walk is the perfect time for me. I care for the dog like it’s my dog. Anytime of the daylight and sun is up is when we will be outside and enjoying the sunshine and breeze

About: I have always lived in a home with multiple pets, and I have experience caring for animals with a wide range of health complications, including mobility limitations & medication management. I am currently working on obtaining my doctorate degree & am scheduled to begin my next fieldwork rotation in late August. Until then, I am free as a bird! I currently have evening obligations for an upcoming theatre production, but I am available for walks, visits, and pet-sitting before & after practices. While I am unable to bring your fur baby to my house for overnight stays, I am more than comfortable with frequent visits and/or staying with pets overnight if needed! I love going on walks, and I have car accessories to allow for safe transportation to & from hiking spots and parks.

About: I’ve taken care of all sizes of dogs and every kind for a year now. My family friends have asked multiple times to let me dog sit there 3 beautiful babies. One was a Great Dane, another was a golden retriever, and the last was a pit bull mix. And I myself have a tiny chihuahua. I’m currently working full-time, so I’ll have plenty of time with your pups! I am free on any day of the week, and would love be to help as much as I can! I am currently not available to offer your pets an option to board at my home. But I do care for your pets by whatever schedule, diets, or any health medications or needs you require.

About: I have 2 years of experience in the pet industry! I have been working at a boarding and daycare facility in South Dakota for 2 years now! Before that I was working at a training and boarding facility back home in Oregon for a year! I love what I do, I am looking to start Rover again, so I can fill my days off with taking care of your fur babies! 😊 I am first aid and CPR certified! I am comfortable taking care of all dogs big or small! Along with my certifications I am also comfortable taking care of elderly dogs, or dogs who need more care in general! I can’t wait to get to know and your fur baby! I am currently working full time. But I have 3-4 days off a week! I am very flexible with my schedule, as my job is flexible with mine. I will have my calendar updated for days I am unable to work! I am currently not offering care of stays from my home! But for my clients I go about my stays and check ins with respecting their space! Following directions, and being attentive to their dog or cats every need!

We will rebook services with Joslin anytime our dog needs them. She has great communication with us leading up to and during pet sitting so we can always rest easy knowing that our pup is able to stick to his routine without stress. She is kind, caring, and fun. Thank you, Joslin!

Laura stepped in at the last moment to watch our special needs boy, Beo, after another sitter had to cancel, and what an amazing job she did of juggling her work schedule and Beo's schedule! We are so grateful to her! She left our home and Beo's yard in perfect order - we have already booked her again :)
