“Maxwell took great care of our dog! He sent plenty of pictures and spent time outdoors with him which we loved. Our dog came home happy and exhausted after a full weekend. Maxwell was also super flexible with us when we had to pick our dog up a little late. We would highly recommend!”

“We are beyond grateful for Amanda’s care with Kenny. She treated him as if he was her own and you could see from the video and picture sent, he felt at home. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for more.”

“Travis and Danielle were awesome! We booked a little last minute, and had some slight changes to our pick-up times. Our senior pup was placed on meds earlier in the week and they were perfectly ok with his crazier med schedule. They uploaded photos of happy pups and kept us updated through the journey, were also very accommodating to making sure our dogs stayed where they felt most comfortable. I’m so grateful for finding them and would 10/10 recommend! Our dogs came home happy and tired.”

“Sara and her family took great care of our two dogs! Communication was great and she was very accommodating. We will definitely hire her again in the future!”

“Definitely recommend Jena! We were so nervous to leave our anxious pup with someone she didn't know & in a place she'd never been. But watching Jena interact with Mara settled all our nerves - it's extremely obvious that animals are a passion of Jena's. She sent daily updates and pictures, as well as cared for Mara as if she was her own dog and was kind enough to handle some last minute meds prescribed by the vet. So many good things to say, don't even know where to begin. Honestly, don't think Mara wanted to leave when we picked her up! We will absolutely be using Jena and her service again! Would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have three golden retrievers ranging from one year to ten years old. I have about an acre where they enjoy to roam with an underground fence. I am in close contact with my vet clinic to stay on top of the care of my 9 pets (6 cats and 3 dogs). The goldens have different medications and diets I tend to. I allow the dogs into the mudroom inside my home for a cool place to lounge that they are free to come and go with a doggie door. Additionally, I have a large kennel in the garage and an extra large kennel outside with a roof. Working from home allows me to provide consistent, attentive care for pets. I start the day with feeding, give medications as needed, and a quick health check for each of our furry friends. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks to check on the pets and ensure everyone has fresh water and a cozy spot to relax. My flexible schedule means I can adjust feeding times and offer plenty of attention and care. Although boarding at my home might be easiest for my schedule, I am open to drop in visits and walks as I know it's nice to keep your pets at home when you are away with someone reliable to care for them. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. In my home, I provide a secure environment with an acre of underground fenced space for dogs to roam freely. Inside, pets have access to a mudroom with a doggie door, offering a safe, cool place to lounge. I also have a large kennel in the garage and an extra-large kennel outside with a roof if needed. With my work-from-home schedule, I’m available throughout the day to monitor and care for pets. I am flexible with options when it comes to boarding your animal at home. Send me a message and I can help accommodate you and your pet(s) needs.

About: I started my journey working at a doggy care, interacting, playing with, care the dogs. For the last couple years, I have been at the animal shelter. I have experience in emergency medical care for both cats and dogs. Your pet will be safe with me, in every way. I can give you peace of mind. I work a 1st shift full time job currently. My routine and been built to accommodate my own pets needs, enrichement. It has been pretty easy to include other kids into this routine successfully. I deal with each animal in the unique way they need. I have one dog that is not kenneled, while my youngest is when she is going to be left alone for a couple hours. I have a wonderfully structured house that has allowed to me to keep dogs separate when needed and need constant supervision.

“Thanks Sonja! Would use again! Loved the option for pick up and drop off.”

About: I love pets and I will take care of yours as if they’re my own! I have been around pets of all kinds my whole life; I can adapt my care to various needs because I know every pet is different! I was raised in a home with two cats and two dogs, so it was a small zoo! It was at a young age that I learned how to clean a litter box and how to clean up the dog waste in the yard, so nothing like that scares me off! I also have been taking care of others' pets since I was in elementary school! Primarily, my pet care experience has been with cats and dogs, but I have no trouble following instructions if you have a different kind of pet! I'd love the chance to love your pets! My current work hours fluctuate right now, but my current availability is: Mon-Thur as early as you need me until 3:45pm. I'm available after 9pm. Friday is entirely available Saturday I'm working 10am-2:30pm. Sunday is entirely available I always make sure to respect an animal’s space and boundaries until they clearly indicate they are comfortable with me. I never assume an animal is friendly until they show it!

About: I've taken care of pets since I was in college. I have experience in small pets, fish, reptiles, dogs and cats. I know how to administer medication including giving injections, and I can do basic grooming. I work full-time for as a professional driver but look after pets on my weekends since I tend to be a homebody! I'm also open to checking on pets during the week and doing the occasional walk. I have a fenced in yard that is suitable for small dogs and large dogs with plenty of space to run! My house is dog and cat proofed as well.
