“Roaaanna truly is the best. From communication to mindful treatment of my pup, following specific instructions, and even flexibility and last minute availability! We appreciate you so much!!”


“Laura was very patient with my nervousness of leaving our pet family. Loved getting the cards with pictures and updates it helped ease my anxiety. Great response time when I asked a question. Even did an extra drop in when my dog hadn't pooped. Very kind gal. Will be booking her again and telling friends.”


About: I have always loved animals and have owned, loved and cared for a wide range of species. In addition to dogs and cats, I've cared for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, rats, mice, gerbils, hamsters, ferrets, and various bird and reptile species. I have trained, handled and shown my and others' dogs in obedience and confirmation. I've worked with all breeds and ages ranging from six weeks old to 15+ years old. My experience also includes managing a doggy daycare solo with 25+ dogs per day and also providing basic grooming services (brushing, bathing, nail trims). I have house sat for up to 8 dogs in a house at one time. I've provided pet care for friends, family, neighbors, colleagues, and even breeders. I can follow written and verbal instructions and have no trouble administering medications and/or supplements. I am currently unemployed, so I have lots of free time to share with your pet. I'm currently not able to host dogs or cats at my home, but I have no difficulty coming to you. I am willing to follow any specific rules or instructions to care for your pet in your home. My dogs have free reign in my house, but I know not all pets are able to be trusted with that. I am comfortable crating dogs or keeping them out of specific areas as indicated.
About: I have had animals in my home since I was born. I have had small to large dogs, and believe that each requires love, nurture and one to one time to live the best life. I am adamant about taking my dogs out for exercise regardless of the weather, and thoroughly enjoy cuddle time! Any special needs your pet has, I can accommodate, whether medical or for comfort. I am flexible in my care routine, and open to feedback. I work from home and have a very flexible job that allows me to play with and care for my animals at ease. I have a free schedule in the evenings and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and love to play with my animals outside. I have several dog beds and they find comfort on the couch!
About: I have many years of experience with household animals such as dogs and cats, as well as, any type of farm animals, equine, and livestock! I am happy to fit your pets needs into my schedule at any time in order to ease your stress and make your pets comfortable! I will ensure your animals safety is my top priority. I will care for your animal just as I do for mine, ensuring plenty of love, safe care, and healthy accommodations!
“Cheyenne is amazing! I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was well taken care of during the drop in visits. I always received updates and pictures through out my time away. My pet loved her too! I will definitely use her again. :)”

About: My entire life I have been raised around large breed dogs, cats, and fish. I am also familiar with reptile, monkey, equestrian, farm animal, and small mammal care. Such as cleaning pens, feedings, cleaning tanks, ear canal cleanings, nail trimming, bathing, and deshedding! The personal pets you see listed on my profile are 100% accurate as well, most people find it shocking but I’ve always been raised around an entire pack of animals and they are all in the best health with the most love we could possibly surround them with! I am completely available to watch your animals! I am hoping to make this a full time job, so please book me for your long trips, and daily walks! I can ensure that I will leave your house cleaner than when I arrived. My parents run 5 AirBnB cabins, and I am the housekeeper for the guests to ensure sanitary sheets, towels, and plates/dishes are provided. As well as a well kept, and clean living environment while they enjoy our stay with us! I was previously a school custodian for South Warren Middle School in Bowling Green, KY, so cleaning was a daily job for me and I thoroughly enjoy it. Now I hope to love on animals and make sure that THEY stay in a sanitary and clean environment.
About: I've been around all kinds of animals since I was born, and have raised and cared for them since I was old enough to help. I have done drop-ins, pet sitting, dog-walking, and even dog massage for friends and family for years. I have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own, and even a few chickens, too! Others would argue I love animals more than people (they may be right about that, ha!) I am a retired massage therapist and self-published author with time on my hands (pun absolutely intended). Between writing chapters (or bouts of writer's block) I am open for pet care most of the day until the evening, with some night time hours available upon request :) I am clean, compassionate, and considerate. I leave my clients' homes just as I found them - unless the pet has had an accident in which case I'll clean that up before leaving :) I am happy to love on my clients' pets as if they were my own, and take caring for them very seriously.
About: Thank you for checking out my profile! I have loved dogs since I was a child. I have had my first dog for 5 years now. He has been a challenge but it has made me a better dog mom and handler. I want to share my knowledge of reactive dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs that just need a little extra help with obedience. I strongly recommend the use of dog training tools. I always want to set dogs up for success! I am currently a stay at home dog mom. I can make any day of the week tailored to your dogs needs. Unfortunately since my dog is very reactive he will not join me when walking other dogs. But that’s okay, we want dogs to be set up for success! I have a large yard, unfortunately it is not fenced. However, I would be fully dedicated to helping train your dog for leash work, recall and boundaries. My dog is fully trained to be off leash and would love to get your furry friends to the same point! I have a beginner agility course as well which is very fun! I am also willing to go to local trails and parks weather dependent!
“Diane was amazing!! She was great with our dogs, was prompt, sent pics to keep us updated, and was very responsive!! We hired her for a 3 day trip, that after major car trouble, turned into a 5 day trip. She was so helpful in continuing the care for our dogs!! We appreciate her so much and would highly recommend her !!”

About: Hi there! I’m a retired teacher and principal who’s decided to trade in caring for two-legged kiddos for four-legged fur babies! 🐾 I’ve owned dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. Right now, I share my heart (and couch) with three rescue knuckleheads who keep me laughing every single day. Over the years, I’ve also been active in dog rescue, so I have plenty of experience with all kinds of pups — the shy ones, the energetic ones, and the ones who just need a little extra love. I’m comfortable giving medications (both oral and injectable) and I take caring for animals very seriously. I’m also that gal at a party who’s perfectly happy hanging out in the corner petting your dog instead of mingling — they’re just my kind of people. ❤️ I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family members and give them the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I’m a retired teacher and looking to spend my time with my favorite people (dogs) my flexible schedule allows me availability most days, nights, and hours! Safety first and foremost always!! I am extremely careful when walking into someone’s home that the door is closed quickly so that nobody escapes. I am comfortable using leashes, harnesses, and crating.
About: While I may not have professional pet care experience, I’ve always had a deep love for animals and enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds and sizes. Friends and family often trust me to care for their pets, and I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, attention, and lots of affection. I’m excited to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment for your furry friend! I am currently take care of two dogs at home: Buddy and Winnie. They are fed, loved on, taken outside to play, and much more. My two dogs are some of my very close family, which I hold dear. They stimulated throughout the day, as well as have time to rest.
“Larisa was so great watching our two dogs while we were out of town. Our dogs fell in love with her at the meet & greet and we were immediately at ease knowing she would be great with them while we were gone. We were provided updates and pictures throughout the stay and returned home to happy & healthy puppies :) We will absolutely book her again! Thank you!”

About: With 3 dogs of my own I am quite familiar with dog care, 7 cats, and 50+ reptiles. I am able to administer medication, walks, enrichment, and photo updates. I would love to chat further, I look forward to hearing from you! -Julia I work from home part time and pick my own schedule. My availability is open throughout the week for pet care. When I’m not working I am caring for my multitude of animals. I’m an active person who loves to stimulate your dogs individual needs. Wether is fetch, walk, or a run around the park I am able to help your furry friends have a more enriching life.
About: Ive taken care of dogs sense I was little, my mother owned a dog boarding business in our home. I have a german shepherd named Sadie who is 2 and her pup bibble that is 3 months. I'm currently available almost 24/7 im a landlord who doesn't have much to do, using Rover is one way im trying to fill my free time with. I love taking my own dogs on adventures to parks and such, I would love to take yours! Your dog will be in great hands!
“Samantha was so sweet! We did a meet and greet before our drop ins and she made us feel so good about leaving our kitties for her to check in on them! Will definitely be using her again if she’s available!!”
