“Natalie and her daughter looked after our dog so well. He was so tuckered out from the excitement and fun at their place that when we got him back he spent the next day sleeping! Natalie sent us photos periodically which was great. We felt very comfortable having him stay here and will definitely be using Natalie again whenever we can!”

“Breanna was AMAZING!! She took my 3 large Golden’s and 2 Persian cats on short notice for a week in her home. She checked in, sent me pictures, gave my old boy his meds. It was the best boarding experience i ever had. Feel safe and confident leaving your babies with her.”

“What an absolute blessing to have found Lindsay! Everything from booking, communication the whole time, to making sure our sweet Tootsie was taken care of, and oh so loved! She definitely goes above and beyond! We will see you very soon! Thank you for being our Tootsies home away from home! ?”

“My pup was well taken care of. She was happy and tired when we picked her up and she made some new friends, too! Very good communication and sent us many photos while we were gone.”

“Lizzie and Brad were a joy to work with from our first interactions. She’s responsive, incredibly thoughtful and put our pup Walter first above all else. She even brought him a half hour away for our wedding photos - thank you so much, Lizzie!”

“Christina was incredible. My boxer Logan is my best friend. We are very connected and I dreaded leaving him in someone else’s care for the weekend. But after a meet and greet with Christina I knew that Logan was being left in the best hands possible. And now that we’re at home on the couch, I know for sure he was in the best hands possible. This dog rarely lacks energy, and he’s cuddled up with me snoring. He didn’t want to leave Christina’s when I picked him up which I’ve never seen him do before. Christina provided pictures and multiple updates to ensure us Logan was doing well. Logan was bummed his vacation had come to an end! Thanks so much Christina!!!”


About: I've taken care of all sorts of dogs since I was a teenager! I am comfortable with Reactive, Aggressive and Nervous dogs. I have Three of my own nervous/reactive dogs! I've dog sat for family and friends along with having 4 of my own dogs! I've worked at a doggie daycare and have experience with particular routines that our pets have. I understand that dogs are our family and I will treat your pet just like they're my own! I am also experienced with large high energy dogs and Working dogs! I am currently working part time as my mom's cleaning business and I am Active in dog related activities. I do a lot with my own pups! I treat all dogs in my care as if they're my own! I use positive methods in handling dogs because they deserve the best and kindest care! I have puppy sat all sorts of dogs from huge Great Danes, high energy Malinois and adorable little Yorkies.
About: I'm a work at home pet mom with a large yard, lots of toys, and a calm and welcoming house. I've always had large dogs from mixed breeds to Great Danes, but love and appreciate all types of well mannered dogs. My house sits well off the road, so its quiet and I hike or trail walk almost daily. I am adept at giving medicine, cleaning wounds and dealing with incontinent dogs, but I will only board dogs who are respectful of my cats. I am currently working from home on my own schedule. Boarded dogs who enjoy car rides can come with me on errands or outings. While each day may different, my activities will be built around the needs of the animals I am caretaking, especially if separation anxiety is an issue. I will care for your animals as per your instructions and the capabilities of your pet. I do not have a fenced in yard, but have installed a run line in the past. If a dog is used to being crated, receiving treats, or sleeping on the couch - no problem. Conversely, I don't give animals people food, and if you want your pets to stay off furniture I will strictly honor that as well. My house is small but open, so it is easy to keep an eye on them.
“Alyx was wonderful to work with and we are very happy we found her! She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on Lucy's stay with messages and pictures. We were nervous leaving Lucy with a new sitter but feel confident that she was well cared for and given lots of one-on-one attention in her time with Alyx. We definitely recommend her!”

I usually take my dog on hikes or walks around the neighborhood.
About: I grew up on a large farm with show dogs! I have had dogs, cats and all farm animals my entire life and their happiness, care is always top of my priority! I work from home full time, so there will never be a period your fur baby will be left alone unless I need to run a quick errand. I have two dogs ( a shih tzu (7) and a mini schnauzer (6 months), we have two well behaved cats and 6 chickens that are enclosed in an outside area. We use a bell system on the doors for our dogs to tell us when they need to go outside and positive reinforcement at all times.

Aside from Rover’s guarantee , I am also separately insured to give you an extra ease of mind when choosing me for your sitting needs! Pricing: Please understand pricing is non-negotiable.

I do not offer discounts at this time, thank you for understanding! House Sitting Requests: Please keep in mind that I am catering to repeat clients I have throughout the week day as well! Depending on my schedule, I may not be at your home 24/7, however, I guarantee your pets won’t be alone longer than 5-6 hours. Typically I limit leaving to 2 times a day to accommodate these clients. (I won’t be gone 5-6 hours each time) My coming and going schedule will be provided prior to sitting!

Constant care rates start at $175/ night (additional rates still apply) and increase based off of pet’s needs. Please understand this service may not always be available and interferes with ongoing mid day clients. Price reflects alternative arrangements I need to make for existing clients. If you have any questions regarding this, please reach out! I currently only allow one family for boarding at a time. Prices reflect solo care and not having to worry about exposure to other dogs during their stay. I currently have one cat in the home - a 12 year old Maine Coon mix who is very relaxed and tends to mind her own business. Between my boyfriend and I, there is always someone on property, so potty breaks can be provided frequently!

“Kathleen took great care of our Ellie. She seemed really happy with all the snuggles and adventures they went on while she was under Kathleen’s care. Definitely recomment if you’re looking for a kind and reliable sitter.”

“Pat replied immediately to my request to book and was great at communicating with me throughout the entire booking process and stay. My dog Edie made friends with a beagle and had a blast for the three days she was with Pat. There is a fenced-in yard and the dogs had fun outside and inside. Pat is very good with dogs and Edie was safe and happy during her stay. Pat sent pictures of Edie playing and it was clear she was enjoying herself. I will use Pat again in the future and highly recommend her to others.”

About: I have experience with animals from Great Danes to Fancy rats. I have training experience as well with things such as potty training, walking etiquette, and a few show tricks. I have college classes in the afternoons but my mornings and nights are wide open on weekdays. As for weekends its just dependent on the day so I'll need advanced notice. I have a small yard, and within a quarter mile from the nearest park. I can give potty breaks ever hour if need be, and I'm great at matching an animals energy level.
“I was and am very impressed with Jessica and her family for how she took our baby, Miss Gia, in. This was the very 1st time Gia had stayed without us. Gia came home very happy to see us and we'll taken care of. I also LOVED the communication Jess had with us. The pictures, the updates, honestly all of it. We WILL use her again, if she'll have us. A HUGE THANK YOU. ?”

“Hutch had a great experience at Jaclyn's Pet Care! He was well cared for, enjoyed playing with other dogs, and we brought home a happy and tired pup.
