“Great job! I was in a pinch and Jack was able to come walk my little buddy. Gave him an extra long walk in the afternoon! A true animal lover. Would definitely recommend and use again!”


About: Hi, I grew up in a home that had dogs and have also worked with rescues over the years. I am able to help potty train, teach tricks, work on leash and friendly play for puppies. I have toys treats and a fenced yard. If you need a safe place to keep your pup during work or over vacation we might be the right fit for you. We have a small pomsky and a old chihuahua/yorkie mix who are the friendliest dogs in the entire world and great with other dogs. If your dog needs to be the only dog our home might not be ideal. I want us both to have the best experience possible. Meet and greets are amazing and welcome to make sure your fur baby and ours will be a great fit. I am also a wildlife rehabitator at Lost Child Wildlife Rehabilitation on facebook. I am working hard to help the voiceless orphaned wildlife. My life gets a little crazy during wildlife season but that does not stop me from being able to care for your furry family members. Wildlife and animals in general are my passion and always have been. I am also enrolled in Unity College online to further my education and the help I can provide to our wildlife. I am currently a stay at home mom and have all the free time to spend with your fur baby while their family is away. We wake up at 730-8am everyday and have a great routine that any fur baby will fit right into. We could do holidays, weekends overnights and everything in between. I have a fenced in yard, dog friendly dogs and tons of toys for playtime. We have donut bed, blankets, crates if they are needed and enjoy going on walks with the addition of play time in the yard or inside if it's raining. I have toys for multiple chewing needs - super chewers or tiny nibbles. I have lots of free time and just want to help where I can.

About: I used to work with dogs at a dog daycare when I was 19 and it really was the way I learned for my passions for animals. I really enjoy other animals as well as I’ve learned from my most recent endeavors with volunteering at a bird sanctuary in my home state and helping my grandmother raise and train her dog. I’m also no stranger to stepping in to care for cats and even pet rodents! I’m currently working part time at a breakfast cafe so I’m usually home in the mid afternoons and plan to spend a good chunk of my days doing rover services. I am very observant and wont follow or corner any of the pets I care for but I can keep a good eye on them without making any animals nervous. Safety is very important to me for both me and the pet I’m looking after.

About: I am a huge dog lover who has grown up with dogs my entire life. I currently have three rescues of my own, Finn, Maggie🌈, and Penny. My dogs are my babies and I would give up the world for them. I am also a volunteer with an organization called The Un-Shelter and we support local shelters. I've also volunteered at DACC in the past. Let me help you with your babies- I promise to take care of them as if they were my own! I have some flexibility during the week and pretty open availability on the weekends for drop ins and walking visits! Let me help you out. I do not offer boarding in my home at this time. However, I am happy to follow any instruction or guidance you provide while in your home!

About: I’ve always grown up with animals in our home, especially dogs and cats. Grew up with two cats until the age of 6, my dog since I was 6 until now, and my two other cats we fostered for some time. Always have loved animals and had a caring connection with them. In addition to taking care of our family pets, I have also helped care for family and friends furry friends. Have dog sitted before for family and friends, walked dogs for neighbors, and volunteered at the animal shelter many times! I also interned at a local pet grooming salon for several months, helping to take care of animals. I work part-time and usually only work about 3 days a week, making it perfect for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care for your animals anytime! I do have religious meetings twice a week, but they only last around 2 hours so i’m never done for too long :) In my own home, I have a fenced in, spacious yard. As mentioned before, I have a dog of my own who is very friendly and is updated on all his shots and healthy! We have many different toys, treats, and extra space including individual extra crates for your animals if needed. Furthermore, I have reliable transportation of my own so I can travel to others home. I have pet sitted at family friends homes many times with their dogs and cats. I ensure respect of others spaces every time and will leave things just how I found them!

About: My name is Kate and my love for animals is what prompted me to enter the world of pet care. I grew up in a home with dogs and guniea pigs and learned early on how to be responsible in caring for a pet. The Humane Society was close to my childhood home, I would walk there weekly to go in and visit all the different animals and dreamed of owning a bunch one day myself. Later on in my twenties I learned what it was like to have a cat and now am a self proclaimed, obsessed with all the things cat. Currently I have two cats, a spunky Bengal named Benny and a sophisticated tuxedo baby named Olive. My hobbies include weightlifting, walking, yoga, ceramics, listening to podcasts, reading, baking and traveling. I currently work full time Mon-Thurs, 4 days a week which allows me to have, Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning or afternoons available for drop-in visits or walking your pet. I currently am not able to board any other animals in my home as I have two cats that prefer to be the only pets.

“Hannah was wonderful! Our dog gets nervous around new people but Hannah went out of her way to meet my dog ahead of time to make sure she felt comfortable. She also was very accommodating and great with communication. I was never worried when my dog was in her care. Will definitely be using her services again when needed.”


“Jordan was wonderful with our 3 month old puppy! He responded within minutes, was very professional and came to meet our pup the day after we contacted him. Our pup took to him immediately, and Jordan came and walked him several days a week for three weeks. Each time, he was prompt, sent us pictures and a run down of how each walk went. Jordan was also very flexible with a few of our unexpected schedule changes. He is truly an ideal person to trust in caring for your dog, and we will absolutely be requesting his services again!”

Michelle Y.Star Sitter

“Michelle is nothing short of amazing , she is reliable , attentive and truly cares for my princess comfort , I know princess is in good hands when she’s with Michelle , highly recommended.”


Cheyenne B.Star Sitter
“Cheyenne is a very caring young woman that truly has empathy for all. This shows in the way she cares for animals. Whether it is her own animals, or family & friends animals, they are the first thing she notices and gives attention towards. In the care she provides for animals, she is loving, attentive, and very through. She always asks what she can do, not just meeting expectations, but going above and beyond. This shows in the job well done she does, the relationship she establishes with animals, and even for the pet owners, leaving the house clean, or going even further than expectations, leaving flowers and baked goods for owners. Definitely would recommend.”

Yvonne R.
“I have known Yvonne for two and a half years and she is one of the most responsible person I’ve ever came across. She has worked with children for many years and is adored by many. She is well-respected by her peers, included myself. It takes a lot to gain my respect too, with how millennials (and people in general) are nowadays. Yvonne is a prioritizer. She understands the urgency of matters and will always act upon what she thinks matters, regardless of how little the ‘issue’ may be. It’s hard to find someone like that because people like this, like her, are gems to our lives. Knowing who she is, Yvonne is 100% trustworthy and will leave your dog (and/or child) happier than ever. And if you don’t believe me, see for your own eyes and request her - you’ll never regret your decision!”


Christian G.

Tati has cared for my fur baby over the years while we go on vacation. We dropped the ball with socializing him as a puppy, but Tati has a unique ability in calming a dog's anxiety. She is the only person I trust to look after my fur son. Any fur parent would be lucky to leave their babies in her care.”
