“Katie was amazing! She kept us in the loop the whole time and had great communication. Even though our dog chewed the door frame a bit, Katie was very understanding and didn't blame our pup. She has 2 other dogs Wally and Daphne. She has a fenced in backyard. Our dog got along with them both. They are both older dogs and calm. Highly recommend Katie to anyone needing a sitter.”
“Tobi had such a great day with Brenda, her little boy, and their two dogs. Brenda is so kind and easy going. We’re taking Tobi back for another day of fun soon!”
About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I grew up with both dogs and horses, and our animals were always treated as part of the family. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet while you’re away. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower, gentler pace. Every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. At home, I have two Australian Cattle Dogs, Sydney (4) and Roo (2), both rescues. They’re active, social, and always happy to welcome new companions. Before them, I raised my dog Cooper from 7 weeks old through 14 wonderful years. I also regularly provide in-home dog sitting for friends and family, with stays ranging from a few days to several weeks. I work from home which provides me plenty of time to keep an eye on your pup and let them out for potty breaks. I also try to work in some play time during the day where I can. My dogs insist the ball is thrown for them a lot! I feed my my own dogs around 6:30/7am and 3:30/4pm daily. I have a nice big yard with a privacy fence and 2 well socialized, friendly and playful dogs. I have good size kitchen and living room areas that can be gated off the pups need some quiet time to themselves.
“Julie and her family were great!! Super responsive, sent lots of updates/photos, and really friendly! Will absolutely be rebooking with her and her family!”
“Dylan did great with my dog. He was available to watch her over the Christmas holiday which allowed me to travel to see family. He was flexible with pickup & drop off. I will definitely book with him again.”
About: I will love and care for your pets as if they were my own. I recently just had to put my dog down of nearly 15 years. Having him was so eye opening for my heart and sprit actually showed me what it means for someone or a pet to be there for you. I love and loved my dog and I promise to do the same for your animals as well. Fur babies are just as important as human being in my eyes. They deserve the love, respect and the care of other things. I will not only take care of your pet but I will make sure that they have fun with me, make sure they enjoy their walks and keep them hydrated at all times.
“Erica and Phil were very warm and welcoming! I felt very comfortable with my dog Bruce staying at their home. They sent me several updates with photos, so I felt reassured that Bruce was having a nice time with them! I’d use them to board Bruce again in a heartbeat!”
“Brittany is amazing! I was nervous to leave my young pup for the 1st time and what an outstanding experience it was for all of us! She communicated with me daily and put me at ease that things were going as they should. We will definitely be booking again, as it felt like we left our fur baby with family!”
“Betsy was great with Neo, she communicated with me throughout the weekend and even got him to start listening to the "stay" command. I'd be happy to rebook with her anytime I'm out of town!”
“Dave was AMAZING! He was great with our cat Freddie and made him feel right at home. He sent us lots of updates and had great communication as a whole! Would 10/10 recommend and will for sure be using him again!”
About: I love working with pets. My parents have two dogs that I love bringing on walks. They are fun to play with and give attention too. We have also had different dogs when I was growing up it is important to know each pet has a different personality. We have also had cats that are completely different from dogs. I enjoy playing with them with toys and petting them. I also have experience with Guinea pigs. I have had one for over two years and I know how to take care of them. Let me know if I am the right fit to watch your dog, cat, or other animal. Thank you for reading my profile to consider me for watching your awesome and great pets. I love working with animals and I include them in my daily routine. They need do get there exercise, play time, attention and feed/ treats. I would rather take care of them in you home because the pets feel more comfortable when they know where they are. I love to keep them happy
“Katie and her family were amazing. They made our senior dog feel part of their family. They gave medication and attended to all his needs. Not only was he cared for but he was made part of their family. We would always recommend Katie and her family to watch our dog. She sent updates all the time and pictures of our dog having a great time with the family. Truly an amazing experience.”
“Scout had a great time running in their 1 acre fenced yard. They took great care with her and updated us with pictures and videos daily. She came home happy and tired. Yay! Thank you for loving on Scout.”
“River took great care of Julio while we were away for a long vacation. She shared pics and vids of him enjoying her space and playing with other dogs, and he clearly had fun. I highly recommend trusting River with your pet, we'll be back!”
“Miriam is great! She’s been watching our dogs for a while now and they always look forward doggy daycare with her. We forgot to pack 1 day of food for our dogs and Miriam made sure they didn’t go hungry. She’s super responsive and attentive to our needs. Would totally recommend Miriam for any rover needs.”
“Second time using Luke and Rachel. They are great with Daisy and seem like dog people. Daisy was well cared for, we got updates on how she was doing, they communicate well and pick up/drop off is easy. Will use again!”
“Breanca took care of my pup for three nights and I couldn’t be happier with her. She sent me photos and videos of my dog periodically having the time of his life with her pup and cats. I plan to go back to her every time I need a sitter..”

Caleb and Cro provided a safe and comfortable stay for my small, elderly dog Rocko. Caleb took the time to schedule a meet and greet beforehand and spent a lot of time getting to know Rocko, which made drop off smooth. During the stay I received daily pictures and updates from Caleb. He gave Rocko medicine twice a day and had no issues with feeding Rocko had an accident in his dog bed and Caleb washed it for him. Caleb was flexible with pick up and drop off times and gracious with my scheduling error. Caleb and his whole family are lovely people and I’m glad to have found a new reliable sitter for my dog!
John and Teri were great to work with. From the first moment we met them we knew that our dog Taz would be well cared for. They sent photos of Taz throughout her stay. Within the first couple of hours of her stay her tooth fell out. We called our vet before our trip and were assured a vet visit could wait. They were calm and handled this so well. Everything worked out and we will definitely call upon John and Teri in the future. Thanks again!
Heather has a very calm and kind demeanor and exudes responsibility and genuine care for animals. She walked Lucky several times a day and was great about sending pictures and updates. Her dog Hunter was super friendly and playful with Lucky. We will 100% use Heather again for dog sitting!
Kirsten took such good care of Joey while we were gone. This was the first time that Kirsten watched Joey. Her dog and my dog had a great time playing with each other, and then Joey got to snuggle with Kirsten when he needed some human connection. She sent me daily updates and photos which was appreciated to know he was doing well away from home. I recommend Kirsten and will plan to book with her in the future.
Keyly responded immediately to my request message for dog care with a short notice. We arranged a meet and greet where we spent time chatting while our dogs got acquainted. I received photos and assurance the dogs were great together and Keyly provided much love and attention to my dog. She loved running around the fenced yard and sat on Keely’s lap while she was on line working! She doesn’t sit on my lap!! My dog didn’t want to leave when I picked her up. I’ll have to book Keyly early so I know I can go away and have 0 concerns about my dogs care. 🐾
Mandy was THE BEST with our dogs! She went over and beyond to provide the most incredible care for them. Our dogs didn’t want to leave they had such a good time and fit right in. Mandy was an excellent communicator and even sent us precious photos of our dogs making memories! She was very clean and just an overall trustworthy and kind person. I would recommend her any day!
