This was the first time I'd used a house sitter for my 9 month old poodle. Chondra did an excellent job! She sent me photos. On my ring camera I could see she was giving my puppy lots of love, and walks. Since she works from home anyway, all she needed was a wifi hookup. The house was in perfect shape when I got home, she'd vacuumed and straightened everything... With a puppy it's a constant battle. I've already booked her for another trip. I highly recommend.

About: With years of hands on experience caring for a variety of pets, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their unique needs. From my own furry family of 3 dogs, 4 cats, a bunny, and a horse, I’ve learned the importance of being attentive, patient, and nurturing. My studies in Animal Science at CSU have further equipped me with the knowledge to care for pets with expertise and compassion. Whether it's administering medication, providing enrichment activities, or simply offering companionship, I ensure that every pet under my care feels safe, loved, and well cared for. With my current class schedule, I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. On most days, my classes are spread out, leaving me with large blocks of free time in the late morning, early afternoon, and evening. This allows me to be available for multiple visits throughout the day to ensure your pets receive the attention and care they need. Whether it's morning feedings, midday walks, or evening check-ins, I can easily fit pet care into my routine without any conflict. In caring for pets at clients' homes, I prioritize creating a comfortable and familiar environment for them. I follow a detailed routine based on your pet’s specific needs, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care instructions. I ensure that their living space remains clean and safe, and I offer plenty of attention and enrichment to keep them happy. I also maintain open communication with you to update you on how your pet is doing and address any concerns promptly. My goal is to provide seamless, loving care that makes your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you're away.

Brian was absolutely amazing while we were away in Disney World! He took such great care of our 2 dogs and our home — sending updates, photos, and keeping everything spotless. It was such a relief knowing they were happy, safe, and in their own routine while we were gone. He even went above and beyond with overnighting my cell that I left behind - and we came home to calm, content pups. Couldn’t recommend him more — truly dependable, kind, and easy to communicate with. We’ll definitely be booking him again!

Michelle was great with my Great Danes! She sent many pictures of them running around the yard, getting cozy, and just being their goofy selves. She managed meds, feeds, fun, and supported them through a stormy night. What I appreciated most is that Michelle is a great communicator! I would love to have her watch the boys again!

Lyle did an awesome job with watching our two furbabies in our home for two weeks! He kept them on their routine and most importantly gave their meds on time. The latter is extremely important since one of our babies has seizures. We were so worried to leave since the last Rover experience didn't go so well and so we came home early. Thankfully all went great with Lyle. He gave daily updates and was very transparent. Will definitely use him again!!!

About: I’ve been around fur babies my entire life, caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I’m comfortable using the intuitive understanding of their needs and behaviors that I have gained throughout my years to adapt my care to match each dog’s unique temperament and routine. I’ve also spent time caring for senior pets for family members, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentleness they require, whether that means maintaining routines, supporting mobility, or offering calm companionship. On top of that, I’ve raised and cared for my own stubborn shih tzu, which taught me a lot about patience and how to handle strong-willed dogs with both structure and love. What sets my care apart from most, I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach, I focus on truly knowing each pet as if they were my own: learning their personality, respecting their routine, and creating a safe, stress-free environment where they feel secure and loved. Clients can expect reliable communication, updates, and the peace of mind that their pet is not just being watched but cared for. As a college student home for the summer, pet care fits seamlessly into a very open and flexible schedule. With ample availability throughout the day and week, there is plenty of time to provide attentive, consistent care. This flexibility allows for adapting to each pet’s routine and ensuring they receive the time and attention they deserve. Creating a comfortable and trustworthy environment is always the top priority. Care is tailored to each pet’s routine to keep things familiar and stress-free, with close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions provided. Walks are always done with safety in mind, using secure leashing and awareness of surroundings. In a client’s home, respect for both the space and the pet’s comfort is key: keeping things clean, calm, and consistent while maintaining open communication. The goal is to ensure every pet feels secure, cared for, and happy, while giving owners absolute peace of mind.

About: My whole life I have had dogs. When I was little a yellow lab, and now a very large charcoal lab, his name is Finn in my profile picture, he’s my best bud. Also added another furry friend to our mix, a red golden retriever, her name is Sadie. I also have four cats, one big orange tabby, a calico, and two black cats. My heart is full of love for animals and I would treat yours like my own. I dog sit for my grandparents as well, and friends as needed. I had the honor of helping train my grandmas dog and Finn as well. Simple things like learning to sit and stay but still important! I am currently home for the summer from college. I attend Ferris State and will return in the fall. So, I am just looking for a part time gig for the summer! Besides one vacation in June I am completely free for all potty breaks, walks, etc during the week. I have two dogs at home if a stay at my home is needed, I have leads available for use as well. We also have a fairly large crate used for our golden when she was a puppy, so your pet can be crated if necessary! My pups are very friendly and would love the extra company! I also have no problem staying at a clients home if that makes things easier! I have reliable transportation and have an SUV to take the pups to the park or anything like that! I often take my dogs with me to the store when I can and sometimes stop for a pup cup.

Sarah was amazing! She stayed at our home while we were away and took as much care for our home as she did for our pup. She sent updates throughout the weekend and gave us a detailed recap as she was leaving. It was nice to not have to worry about anything, knowing Sarah was taking good care of everything. Highly recommend!!

About: My experience and background with animals spans over the course 20 years. I've worked as a veterinary technician, fostered nearly 2 dozen puppies for rescue programs, and founded my own successful non-profit rescue & conservation program dedicated to primitive canids. I had the wonderful experience of helping one of these rare dogs whelp & raise a massive litter of 12. I've owned numerous breeds including a Beagle, working-line German Shepherd, working-line Anatolian Shepherd, and numerous primitives such Carolina Dogs, a coydog hybrid, & an imported Canaan Dog. I've trained dogs in sports such as schutzhund & nosework. I established my private dog training business in 2019- specializing in puppies and working dogs such as service & livestock guardian dogs. I've been blessed to own two wonderful cats! On our homestead we had an incredible indoor/outdoor boy that kept the rodents at bay. We also have a sweet, indoor-only kitty that lives the high life with raw food & endless cuddles! I'm thoroughly experienced in caring for senior dogs & cats, administering medications, first aid, & wound care. I've fed numerous specialized diets, including fully raw. I adore the puppy stage- including crate training, potty training, & socialization. I'm a strong advocate for socialization that bolsters confident neutrality. A puppy's endless curiosity is so fun to harness! I enjoy giving dogs a balance of outdoor exercise like hiking, as well as indoor mental enrichment like games and puzzles. A tired dog is a happy dog! I train dogs part time & homeschool my daughter- which lends me a great deal of flexibility in my schedule. I can often accommodate short notice requests. Your beloved pet's safety is critical to me. I'm extremely cautious with opening & closing doors so no animals can slip through a door, check the fit of a dog's collar to prevent potential backing out, & ensure there's nothing a pup or kitty could get into thats potentially dangerous. I have a very strong preference for using martingale collars on dogs for walks to mitigate that risk. I've personally endured the tragedy of my young dog slipping the door and being hit by a car while a sitter was taking care of him- so I assure you I take this very seriously. Building trust with both owners and their pets is pivotal! I'm committed to open communication and honesty. I allow pets to greet me on their terms and understand some animals need a more patient, gentle approach than others. I strive to create a positive, calm environment for your pets- and once I'm trusted by them, I will add the playfulness and affection they deserve!

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and have always loved being around them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors care for their dogs—whether that meant daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or watching them in my own home. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and currently don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog will have my full attention. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m able to accommodate last-minute requests, recurring walks, and longer stays. I’m reliable, responsive, and can adjust to your dog’s routine as needed. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and make sure dogs are always supervised while outside. I currently don’t have other pets in my home, so your dog will have a calm environment and my full attention. I also have reliable transportation and can safely transport dogs if needed. While I don’t keep a crate on hand, I’m happy to accommodate one if you provide it and can easily transport it when necessary.

Milo is great—highest recommendation to care for pets and house sit. Photos and updates through the weekend reassured us that the pets were soaking up the attention and love. Our Labrador is easy, but the cat is very picky and stand-offish with most people. Milo and she were great friends almost immediately. House was in fine shape also. Well done!
