“Lori is excellent! She is patient, kind, thoughtful and treated my pup and home as if it were her own. My boy loved his visit and I loved knowing he was in good hands when I was away from home. Highly recommend Lori as your pet sitter!”

About: I am a Dog Trainer with years of personal and professional experience taking care of, training and boarding all types of breeds, ages, and sizes. Growing up, I was raised in an animal loving household and have carried that love into my adult life. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own and they are my absolute world. Training and taking care of animals is and always has been a passion of mine. Booking with me means your pups become apart of my family and ensuring their health, safety and overall happiness. 🐾🦴 I am a full time Professional Dog Trainer with a very flexible schedule. A majority of the dogs I train live with me so most of my job is "home based". When I'm not out training, I am at home caring for your pups. My world revolves around your pets and their everyday needs. Whenever your pup cannot be supervised, they will be in a kennel inside my home for their saftey. For example, whenever I am not home and overnight. My backyard is completely fenced in and the dogs have tons of free time and space to get their energy out and run around. Dogs are always being supervised during free/play time to ensure their safety and safety of others.
About: I worked at PetSmart for approximately 5 years & have experience with basic grooming needs. I have grown up with both dogs & cats & am always the one friends/family call when they are in need of someone to watch their babies. I truly just love animals of all varieties. I work from home & am able to stay with your pets while you are out of town or at work yourself. I can check in on them during the day, take them for walks, & ensure they are fed and well loved. I am also able to stay at your home when needed. I am happy to abide by whatever guidelines you set to ensure your baby is safe & your home is well cared for as well.
About: I have been caring for animals for most of my life, growing up on a dairy farm where I was responsible for the daily care of a variety of animals. This experience taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to detail when caring for pets. In addition to my farm background, I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and neighbors while they are away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while their owners are gone. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am committed to following each pet's routine and ensuring they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I work full-time during the week and maintain a consistent schedule, which allows me to provide reliable pet care services. I am generally available in the evenings, on weekends, and during select weekdays depending on my schedule. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate the needs of both pets and their owners whenever possible. Please feel free to reach out regarding availability, as I am happy to discuss scheduling and find a time that works for everyone. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I understand the trust involved in leaving your pet in someone else's care. I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while maintaining the routines and expectations you have for your pet. I live in a quiet area with access to safe walking routes and outdoor spaces for exercise and enrichment. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a companion nearby, I will tailor their care to their individual needs and personality. I will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet's stay so you can have peace of mind knowing they are being cared for as if they were my own.
“Jamie was absolutely wonderful. She made sure our cat Cali was taken care of. Cali needs insulin shot twice a day. She was there for her everyday. Jamie sent update on Cali and pictures. It was great to see how our Cali was doing as this was the first time having to use someone to give her insulin. Would highly recommend Jamie.”
About: I’ve had a pet for as long as I can remember. 7 months ago I adopted a rescue puppy and I have learned a lot about training. I have taken 2 courses for puppy training during this time because my little guy was very rambunctious. He just turned a year old and is the best boy. All of my friends have also asked me to watch their fur babies as well when they are out or on vacation. I am reliable, trustworthy, and will take care of your baby the way I take care of my own. I am a full time photographer. Most of my shoots are in the evening or on the weekends. I always know my schedule days to week ahead of time which allows my schedule with you to be very flexible. By providing the necessities but with lots of affection and love. I will feed your fur baby, play with them, talk to them, let them run around the yard or bring them on a long walk, and even snuggle with them if they’re up for it.
About: I've taken care of dogs for roughly 4 years now. I started off doing rover in 2019 and I loved it! I treated the dogs as if they were my own and we built a bond. I built trust with their owners through good communication, reliability, and of course showing tons of affection towards the fur babies. I just recently worked at a doggy daycare but it wasnt working with my schedule so I am back to rover! I am currently in school online so being able to board the dogs is really working with my schedule. I can walk them every 2 hours. I can set alarms for their feedings times and give them tons of cuddles and playtime. I have a very friendly dog that loves playing with others dogs. I like taking her to the park and trails right by my apartment. Your fur baby will definitely have a lot to do!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I was the little kid that visited the neighbors just to see their dogs. I have dog sat on many occasions. I am very detail oriented and love abiding by schedules. I do not mind the size of the dog either. The more dogs you have the better. I will gladly meet the dog(s) beforehand to see if they are comfortable with me. Other pets are also welcome too! The most animals I have watched at one time was three dogs and one cat. I am not opposed to light cleaning for the animals when necessary. Any routines you have for feeding or walking will always be followed. If you have any questions please ask me. I look forward to meeting your pets!
About: Hello! I have around 9 years of experience taking care of pets including cats, dogs, snakes, goats, rodents, and fish. With both puppy/kitten experience and senior animal experience i am confident in my skills and above all care for animals big and small. I am experienced with specialized diets as both my senior dog and cat have special dietary needs, and I've handled giving medicine via shots, pills, and pastes. I do have some puppy training experience as well as working breed care/handling. My farm animal expertise is limited but I am confident I can learn and apply my current skills towards caring for you pets. I am a full time student and work part time as well, so my days can get a little hectic. Rest assured, my furry friends are always given every moment of my free time! I love caring for animals and being surrounded by them, so I always make a conscious effort to be with them as much as possible. Of course your furry friends will recieve that too! Meals and proper walks and playtime will always be provided, and I will do my best to fit into any routines of yours that your pet may be adapted to so they don't get stressed from the change. I make sure to strictly follow all rules set out by the pet parents, including being tidy and respectful in the area at all times. I always come alone, you can always be assured I have your pets' happiness and safety in mind. I do not currently have space to board any animals. I also don't mind doing house chores as needed especially plant care, yard cleaning, poop scooping, etc. Just let me know!!
About: I have been surrounded by all types of animals since I was 5. I have taken care of countless animals. I have shadowed multiple vets. My experience isn’t just towards dogs/cats.. it extends to reptiles, bigger animals, etc. Pet care has always been a part of my schedule. I personally own a gecko, foster consistently, go to classes, team practice, all while providing adequate care and time with the animals. I always have the animal secure on a harness, aware of the surrounding environment, gates, food/water, blankets, and always lock the door if I am not home with the dog.
“Nate took good care of my 2 senior cats while I was away on vacation. He did daily drop in visits, litter box, fed/watered, gave 1 daily medication, and spent time with them. He also sent pics and gave me updates. My house was clean when I got home. Nate was prompt to respond on the site, we met in advance at a public eatery to get to know each other, and he came to my house after to meet my cats and get a basic run down on their needs. He was very pleasant, easy to talk to, and my cats took an instant liking to him. I would highly recommend him to others and will hire him again in the future! It's so hard to find good, reliable yet reasonable pet care. Thank you so much Nate!!!”

“We knew within minutes of meeting Alannah that she was going to be a good fit to watch our pups. She had genuine interactions and care for both of them. You can tell she’s an animal lover! She was very prompt with her check ins and always gave us detailed info about what was going on. We’ll absolutely book with her in the future!”

“Amanda is fantastic! She was amazing with all three of my dogs. They loved her from the moment they met her! She took excellent care of them and I will definetly be using her again!”
