“Highly recommend 10/10. Chelsea made the experience of leaving our Cats with a sitter seamless and amazing. She went over and beyond to ensure that the animals were comfortable while making sure that we were also comfortable. If you are looking for a sitter, I suggest Chelsea!”


“Danielle was such a wonderful caregiver to our 2 dogs and gave us frequent updates on how they were doing. She sent videos of them playing and even took them around the area so they weren’t left alone long. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our furry children😊”


“Jennifer was great with our dog Molly when we went away over the weekend! She kept us updated with pictures and messages and took her for lots of walks. Thanks for taking such good care of her!”


“Tucker had a great time w Shayne & Chip. He’s a little Tuckered out from all the play time. 😁 Everything went smooth & easy from beginning to end. I’d highly recommend them. Thank you!”


“Took our pup in overnight, with a couple hours notice. He came home very happy and well cared for. Her pack was very accepting of Pete so your dogo will have plenty of great company!”


“Margaret and Dermott were absolutely wonderful! We felt very comfortable and knew our pup was in good hands. Margaret gave plenty of updates/pictures to make sure we knew our dog was relaxed and having a great time. We are truly so happy we found them!”


“Keely took great care of my dog. She sent me pictures and updates throughout my vacation which kept me at ease since this was my first time boarding. Looking forward to working with her in the future!”


“Katie and her family welcomed my little dog into their family as if he always belonged there. I was so happy he was getting so much care and attention! Katie sent me pictures of his daily adventures and that helped me relax, knowing he was having a good time. Awesome job!”


“Chip was amazing on such short notice! He accommodated us at the very last minute when we had some dog sitter plans fall through and I’d say he’s nothing shy of an amazing sitter! After 10 days, our pup came back extremely happy! He is very thorough, attentive, and communicated well. I’ll definitely be booking Chip from now on for all of our dog sitting needs!”


About: I've lived with animals, big and small, my whole life. If there was a stray animal, all of a sudden it wasn't stray anymore. Recently got my first (working breed) puppy and doing everything I can to make sure he is well socialized and well behaved. This has given me a lot of insight on how to keep a dog mentally and physically challenged. We have also taken obedience classes. For mental challenges, we do training, hide and seek, and large variety of dog puzzles. For physical, we play with soccer ball, fetch, flirt pole, frisbee, we also have plenty of space for play. I would be happy to include your dogs in our day! Stay at home mom with pretty much full availability. We still need to be home pretty consistently for our 7 month old pup. Would just request information on crating options in case it fell on grocery day and I need to leave for an hour, but majority of the time, I am home! I care for your pet based off your given expectations. I'm home most of the day, so if you'd like me to follow a very specific set of instructions, I can do that. I know how important routines are for dogs and I can try my best to keep your dog on their routines. I will only accept dogs that have a chance to meet my dogs first, at a meet and greet. My dogs are friendly and the pup is certainly playful, so if it is a good fit, they will all have a lot of fun together! I can only accommodate care in my own home as I have small children. Children and pets are never left alone without my supervision (whether its your pet or my pet) for all parties safety. Please let me know anyway I can make you feel at ease, with updates, pictures and videos, or anything else you can think of.

“This was not only my first time using Rover, but also the first time I left my dog with anyone other than family. And Eeyore would like to consider Alli family! He had the most wonderful time from the moment we pulled up and he was introduced to her and her pets. Alli kept in touch with adorable photos and videos all weekend. She showed Eeyore such kindness while he was adjusting to a new location, and gave me the ability to enjoy my vacation worry free! Eeyore got along great with his new best dog pal Jack, and who knew he would even leave with a pig pal too! Eeyore cannot wait to go back to what we now refer to as his “Disneyworld”! Thanks Alli for a great experience 💙🐶”


“Madeline is great with our Frenchie. We have used her to watch him several times now. She communicates easily and lets us know how things are going. He has a great time and we know he is well cared for.”


“Second time my kitty has stayed with Katherine and will most definitely be going back! She gives updates and sends pictures everyday. A wonderful sitter highly recommended!!!!”


About: Hi everyone! Our names are Karen and Chad and we’ve always had a love for dogs since childhood. The thought of caring or rescuing a dog has always been top of our minds. When we got married, we adopted a greyhound racer. We had him for 7 years and lost him unfortunately due to cancer. Since we lost him, we’ve wanted to continue helping/caring for dogs and can’t think of a better way then helping others with their fur animals. We know the working world doesn’t always accommodate balancing out caring for our fur friends and work and would love to help with that! Please chose us to care for your fur friends whether it’s a walk or a overnight stay in our home! We will treat them with the utmost love and care! We are available for stays and walks in our home from Thursday until Sunday night. We work from home Thursday and Fridays so can walk them whenever needed! We have a nice back yard but do not currently have a fence (at this time). We can walk the dogs in our backyard with a leash and or take them to nearby parks. We do have a dog bed and dog water/food bowels with plenty of space in our 2200 sq.ft home.

“Jodie was so patient with our energietic pups and they loved her! She played fetch with them and let them play with water when it was really hot. She even took time to brush them. Will defintiely use her again!”

About: I can watch animals of all sizes, chickens, goat dogs, cats, dogs, I own a few types over the years and can possibly learn a new pet, if needed to watch ❤️❤️🐰 I’m currently at home during the day, I’m usually scheduled 1-2 nights a week and will have my daughter helping with the responsibilities for caring for your animals, walking, reading them books and loving on them! I can care for your baby at my home, or yours. Sometimes they’re more comfortable in their home, safety comes first. I will be taking your dog, for walks, car rides, and down to the lake to see my world.

About: I am a former RN... I've been around animals my entire life. My animals are like my children. My son Sam helps me.. he is just like me. We enjoy walking our dog and feed him excellent food. My animals have always been healthy and I am a responsible dog owner.I teach for a living now but I work from home 4 days a week and work at a local college 6 hours a week. I lived in Europe for many years... southern Germany where people train their dogs and take very good care of them. I am also a certified pet groomer, but I only groom my own pets now. I would love to help you out on the weekends or on holidays because I would not like to put my dog in a kennel either. I do not work on the weekends and am available. My son assists me with walking or playing with our pets. Our dog Lizzy would love to have someone new to play with. I have a farmhouse with a large yard that is partially fenced in. I crate my puppy at night and have a playpen during the day when we are not outside. My cats run around on all 3 floors.

About: I was blessed to have a dog from the age of 16 to 27 named Angel. The name was fitting. Every dog deserves love and attention. I have a full time job but would have no problem making sure that any pet care routine is followed and kept up to date. My ultimate goal is to make sure your house is respected and treated well. Your home is your castle and needs to be protected. I will make sure that your pets lives and routines aren’t interrupted and your home is in the same state as you left it.

About: I am an energetic person who is looking to spend time with animals. I am reliable, careful, and understand the bond people have with their animals. I have had an anxious animal and know how to approach them. I have also had experience with training puppies and senior care. I am big on communication and taking the time to better the lives of animals. I am a teacher that has the summer off from school so I am looking to fill my days with pet care! I am very flexible with times, days, and amount of visits. I ensure that your pet is being watched and has sufficient water and food. I will follow all directions and ensure that all safety features are in tact (gate closed, doors closed, nothing in reach for pet). I am respectful towards all household rules and want to be a reliable person to help ease owner anxiety.

Kayla S.
“I can’t say enough great things about Kayla as a dog walker! From our first meeting, she was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My pup instantly took to her, which is saying a lot because he can be a bit shy with new people. She’s incredibly reliable and always sends the cutest updates and photos from their walks—it gives me so much peace of mind while I’m at work. I can tell she genuinely cares about my dog’s well-being and happiness. Her attention to detail and positive energy make all the difference. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and truly passionate about animals, I highly recommend Kayla. She’s been a total lifesaver for”
