I am so grateful we found Kristen! She was reliable, professional, and cared for our dog Bella like her own. She is so sweet and thoughtful. Kristen is a great communicator. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and would absolutely use her services again in the future.

Abbey did a great job with my two dogs when I went on an overnight trip. She had great communication and sent me some cute pictures of them. I don’t often leave them with someone they don’t know, but Abbey was splendid and I would definitely book her again!

Kari and Clint were/are the very best dog sitters and chicken sitters. My pups were well cared for, and one of them is an handful. And Clint also took very good care of my chickens. They are looking plump and content. Kari even restocked the chicken treats when they ran out. They must researched chicken treats. How else would they know to buy giant bag of mealy worms!! And the house look wonderful.. kitchen's was spotless… cleaner than when we left. And she stocked the fridge with the essentials, bread and milk, before she left. We received many pictures while we were away. We were reassured our dogs and hens were safe and sound and cared for.

Kelly was the perfect choice for housesitting my pets. She had her hands full and graciously attended to each pet and their certain needs. My oldest pup had a little separation depression and wasn’t eating a lot so she made her some chicken and hand fed her some nuggets and gave her extra assurance to make her feel okay! I would highly recommend this sitter! She took great care of my pets and my house!

About: I will genuinely treat your pups like my own! I’ve had pets ever since I can remember - dogs, cats, & even fish. Today, I'm a proud plant & cat mom. Because I love traveling myself, I totally know how stressful it is to leave your babies behind & how important it is to have reliable, trustworthy help you can count on. I love taking dogs on adventures, whether that’s hitting trails to burn off energy or just enjoying a long, sniff filled neighborhood walk. I have experience with all kinds of personalities from high energy pups who want to play non stop, to sweet seniors who just want a slow stroll & some good couch cuddles. I love sending lots of photo updates & making sure your dogs feel safe, happy, & loved! I have a super flexible schedule. My days are open enough that I can easily prioritize structured potty breaks & long walks, without having to rush back to a strict 9-5 desk job. In my home your pet becomes a part of the family! My place is a pet friendly environment where they can fully relax & get cozy. While I don’t have a fence, I have a massive yard with a secure lead, so the dogs can get plenty of space while staying safe. Plus, they’ll get tons of attention & plenty of couch cuddles! If I’m coming to your house for a walk or a drop in, I’ll treat your space with total respect. I’ll strictly follow whatever routine you have for feeding, crating, or locking up. I'm always mindful of the little things like wiping muddy paws if it's rainy & making sure the water bowl is totally fresh before I leave. Plus, you can definitely count on lots of fun photo updates so you know exactly how great they’re doing! Whether your pet is hanging out at my place or I’m visiting yours, making sure they feel safe and comfortable is my biggest priority.

Lucy was AMAZING. I have had some not very good experiences on rover so I was already a little nervous leaving my (very needy) pup with someone but he loved her right away, he usually takes forever to warm up to people so this was a HUGE surprise/plus. She sent me so many pictures and updates every day to ensure me he was in good hands! He had so much fun playing with Lucy and she never got tired of his endless love for fetch :) Lucy will be the only person I use for my pet sitting needs going forward! I highly highly recommend as this was the best experience I have had with someone watching my pup!

Ally was absolutely wonderful with our sweet boy! She took great care of him, took him on many walks, kept us updated throughout the weekend, and sent lots of pictures. Our boy felt right at home with her and he has made a new best friend. We highly recommend Ally for any dog sitting needs and we will be using her again in the future. She treats your home and pets with love and like they are her own.

About: I actually started watching dogs and cats for families I was babysitting and nannying for while they were out of town about four years ago. About 90% of my experience is with extended dog sitting in the owners home. While watching the dogs I not only let them out to potty but also walk them, play with them, and clean up any messes whether chewed or accidents that may occur! I have some owners who like me to stay overnight and others who do not and I am completely okay with either way. I am also comfortable administering medicine or changing bandages. I am always up for taking your dog places too, a dog park or for a bath or simple for a drive! I’m comfortable with cats, dogs, and a plethora of other animals. I can care for any of your loving animals! I hope to get to know you and your fur babies in the future! I currently am a stay at home mom. I have one school age child and a toddler. I am looking for bookings to be able to stay at home with my girls (and my two pups of course). School drop off/pick up is for a short time in the morning and in the late afternoon. Any walks or drop-ins would be scheduled around school drop off and pick up times! I care for pets as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This can look like feeding on schedule, giving fresh water, administering medications if needed. Each visit includes some play and cuddles too so they feel just as loved as when you are there!

About: I have been a regular pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers since I was a teenager. I have experience with large or small dogs, elderly dogs, cats, and pets that need medication or other accommodations. I have experience with dog-sitting for up to two weeks at a time. This has sometimes included, but is not limited to, administering medication, cleaning up messes inside and outside, walking, feeding, and bathing. Ensuring the safety, health, and happiness of each pet I take care of is my top priority and it is one of my favorite things to do in the world! I do not have the same schedule weekly, so I will constantly update my availability. I only know my availability up to 3 weeks in advance. Unless I have to work very early the next day, I am available for overnights at least 3 days a week (typically). I am unable to have pets at my house because I live with a family member’s dog that does not do well with other animals. Please give me any and all instructions! I will make sure to follow any routine that I can for your pet to be comfortable. I will provide as many updates/photos as requested.

As I am sure most pet parents considering a pet sitter are, I think of my pets as my babies. I was getting really stressed out about leaving my 3 cats for 3 days and finding someone to watch them. I was so relieved when I found a sitter and it was an amazing experience. They sent photos, videos, and kept open communication. I felt like my cats were in great hands the entire time and while I was excited to come home, I felt less nervous about being away. I am definitely going to be using them in the future again and would recommend them to anyone.

I love that Aimee came for a very thorough "meet n greet". Aimee was wonderful with our two dogs. They warmed up to her immediately. She always got back to me as soon as I texted her. Thank you Aimee for allowing me to feel as ease right away with leaving our babies. Overall positive experience. Thank you.

About: Aside from caring for my own animals, I have dog and cat sat for friends and family in the past. I'm a huge animal advocate and lover, so much so that I am a vegetarian and have issues with the way animals are treated from slaughter houses, to puppy mills. Animals are truly my best friends and I can't think of anything I would enjoy more than taking care of others and the bonus is getting paid for it. I have had pets since I was small and taking care of animals brings me a lot of joy and comfort in my life and its what I prefer. What better way to make money than by doing what you love most. I enjoy walking daily so bring a special little fur buddy along would be a huge plus. I’m dog sitting full time on most days. Have retired and am now doing what I enjoy the most. Please contact me anytime day or night. Your pet is very safe in my home. Fenced in back yard and dog friendly inside through and through. My dogs are older and get along with all dogs.

About: I offer reliable, attentive care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pup loves long walks, quiet company, or playtime in the yard, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, consistent, and experienced with both high energy dogs and those who prefer a slower pace. My goal is to keep their routine steady, provide plenty of attention, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I will always do my best to follow your pets schedule each day to help create a low stress stable environment. Please reach out to me for special requests. I care for every pet as if they were my own, with patience, consistency, and attention to detail. For new clients I like to try and have a introduction to help build trust and familiarity. During walks and drop in visits, I make sure dogs get the right mix of exercise, structure, and positive interaction to keep them happy and healthy. For overnight stays, I focus on maintaining their normal routine meals, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection so they feel secure and comfortable in their own home. My approach is calm, reliable, and based on understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I have knowledge with working dogs, police, dogs, rescue dogs, all of the above. I have a retired police dog and a rescue pup along with three cats. I’m familiar with young dogs, senior dogs dogs that need medication, all that fun stuff. I’m very passionate about helping and taking care of animals and I thoroughly enjoy meeting all different types of animals and getting to know their personalities. I just graduated high school so I am free every day. I’m willing to do overnight days, weekly stays drop in visits. My schedule is always very flexible. We don’t have a fence so one dog goes outside on a leash and the other dog has recall so he doesn’t need a leash. In clients homes I always follow the checklist or rules that are sent to me. I don’t wanna risk anything bad happening. I feed on schedule, give meds when needed, provide multiple potty breaks, and always make time for playtime.
