About: I have had all kinds of animals and have been around even more. Your pet is your family and I will treat them as it. I can take on a few afterwork needs m-f, and mainly any full days worth of care could be on the weekend. I can be somewhat be flexible, but I do have a full time job. I make sure the pet(s) have attention, playtime, frequent potty breaks, and food/water depending on how they are. (If a dog needs scheduled feedings or if they can handle a full bowl all the time). You’ll get solid proof of poop/pee breaks when “walking”. You’ll get a gallery of photos at the end of “house sitting” stay of your lovely pups! If I’m just doing “drop ins” I’ll send potty time pics and let you know they are loved and taken care of.

About: Neighbors friends and families have all relied on me to bath, walk, medicate their babies and I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding resort! I’m currently working between the vet clinic and grants farm live stock care! But my schedule has more room and I want to dedicate it to any and all animals I can! I have one dog well trained, free roam of the house, allowed on everything, potty trained and go out for his walk every day, and takes days off as he wants!

“Alicia is very flexible and professional with us. Alicia communicates with us and we've had all great experiences with her. She is great with the cats. They can be pretty timid, but she is winning them over. I'm overjoyed that we found her on Rover. She's wonderful!”

6. Ashley F.
“Ashley has helped me many times with our girl Myla. Even when she was a hyper puppy, she was able to keep her under control and always understood that she was a little wild. I appreciate all of her help! With many pups of her own, she knows just how to handle all the pup personalities.”


7. Karissa B.

9. Kerri H.
“Kerri did a fantastic job dog sitting my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Hattie. She was super caring, sent me regular photos, and was able to help out on short notice. She took her for a walk and was all I could have asked for. Would absolutely use again!”


10. Kenzie W.
“Without a doubt, the single greatest pet sitter in our area. Kenzi is compassionate, knowledgeable and has this amazing bond with every dog she comes in contact with. She is the only person I truly trust with my baby and would recommend her to anyone.”


11. Abigail H.

“Abby is great at interacting with our GSD Loki! Loki is a scary breed for a lot of people but he is a lover boy. Abby did a great job allowing him to get used to her, not pushing or pressuring him but using treats and social acuity to allow them to come close after only a few visits. She does some training with him too, which is always appreciated because he loves learning and working. She is super communicative about the visits and responds very promptly when we reach out or request a visit which is much appreciated!”


12. Mary M.

“Mary did great looking after Kaladin. He was taking a good nap when I got home. She sent good pics and was quick to update on visits. I'll definitely use them again.”


13. Tiffany C.

“We just loved how easy this was. She was dependable and very kind. Kitchi seemed to love her from the pics we saw. It made our trip so much easier and we had a great time knowing Kitchi was in good hands. Excellent service! Thanks!!”


14. Lily Q.

“We definitely recommend Lily. She takes care of your pup like it is her own. Our puppy just loves her. It make our day knowing that Lily is there taking care of our pup. The videos and photos she sends are the best!! You won’t regret booking her!”


15. Melissa L.
“Melissa is wonderful with my fur babies, she really takes the time to get to know them and see there likes and dislikes.. she loves them so much.”


16. Michele C.
“Michele has cared for two very different dogs of mine and known just how to handle their very different personalities. She is comfortable with big and small dogs, hyper as well as timid, and can even handle dogs with medical and bathroom issues. She has had many of her own dogs over the years and has had experience with puppies all the way through elderly dogs. She is also very comfortable with my cat. My current dog is terrified of most people and somehow still adores Michele. She will always be my first choice dogsitter!”


17. Jessica B.
“Jessica is the most absolutely caring and loving pet person she is actually going to be a vet tech because she loves helping animals as much as possible! She is definitely the best person for the job!!!”


18. Ashley K.
About: I love all dogs. I have had dogs since I was little and enjoy everything about them. My dog of 18 years passed away right before my son was born so we currently dont have any pets but we are anxiously awaiting our sons 2nd birthday to get the newest puppy addition to our family. We go on frequent outdoor walks in the parks and do lots of hiking. I can accomodate dogs with special care instructions and medical needs as well. Since I am a stay at home mom to my 18 month old son who adores dogs as much as I do, there will never be a dull moment for your dog. We offer loads of love, affection, playtime, treats if allowed, and of course fun.


19. Barbara B.

“Barbara did an excellent job taking care of our cats! She successfully administered medication to a challenging cat. She brought over toys to play with them each day and sent me text and video updates. Barbara made full use of her time at our place, ensuring the cats and home were well cared for and alerting us of anything that may need attention. I would definitely book her again and can’t recommend her enough!”
