About: I've taken care of various dog breeds such as Shitzu, Pomeranian, Chihuahua, Golden Retriever, Poodle, Labrador, Jack Russell, Beagle, etc. I have experience taking care of puppies to senior dogs and cats. My family loves pet and I've grown up with dogs in the house. Currently, i have a high energy puppy who loves to play to keep your dog a company. She’s very friendly and loves to socialize with other dogs. I have a concrete and big fenced pet-friendly yard. I have 2 crates and playpen if needed. My husband and I are both pet lovers and we’re partners in taking care of them. We have a dog of our own named Chase. We don’t have kids yet so we treat your pet as part of our family. 🥰🏡🐶

“John was amazing. Helped out last minute, was full of love for my sweet doggy, communicated clearly, and was super dedicated in how often he checked on my doggy. Look no further for your animal sitting needs!”


“Cleo was absolutely OUTSTANDING. Easy to work with and very easy to get in touch with when needed. She goes above and beyond to ensure she gets the job done in the way you want and will ensure your pet is well taken care of while you’re out of town. Will use again, DEFINITELY recommend!”

About: I've done pet care and house sitting since I was a kid. Now, I work at Pet Station where I do daily training for an hour to learn more about pet care and their needs from puppys to senior dogs. I keep healthy treats on hand as well as ointment and dog wound wash in case your pets need extra care! Current Treats being given: (Bossdog brand) Pork Probiotic Meatballs (Freeze dried) (Instinct Brand) Beef Nuggets (Freeze dried) (Boccees brand) Cinnamon Biscuits I'm working full time but I adore pets and want to walk pups while I walk myself! While I am transferring jobs, I have Sunday open and will be available for evenings and Saturday too soon! I have a tabby myself, and when I lived in Florida I was in a house with Four different dogs. (Blue pitty, pit husky mixes, and a great dane)

About: I reassure your animal is comfortable while missing you. I take my time and let them know how many nights until their parents return. I keep them occupied and I find out a way to play. I also talk to them letting them know their good boys and girls and that Mom and Dad will be home in x nights. This is a method I use with my Aunts Schnauzer and I find she is able to relax and enjoy the present moment better Pet care would fit my current life perfectly because due to chronic migraines I found holding a traditional job, impractical. However 5 years ago on a whim I started dog sitting again, and to my delight found it enjoyable, comforting, rewarding, and delighted that this is what I was get paid to do. Migraine wise I find being able to choose my own hours is something my health exceeds at/agrees with. In my own home my pets top priority. I have 2 pets, They are my Dudes. I talk with them. I let them know throughout the day what's going on. I reassure them when they're anxious, I engage in play, cuddle time, pets and or both. They are my little friends. At your home, I would treat it as if I was a guest and as for your pets I would treat them how I treat them in my own home. And I treat your pet like the star of the show.

“Michelle did a great job watching my pups for the weekend. She was communicative and sent over cute pictures so I knew they were safe. I look forward to the next time she can dog sit for us.”


About: As an animal care attendant, I bring experience and skills that truly set me apart from other sitters. I focus on maintaining clean and safe spaces for animals while ensuring they feel loved and comfortable. My background isn’t just in animal care—I’ve also worked as a pharmacy technician, certified nursing assistant, and home care aide. These roles have taught me how to provide specialized care and adapt to individual needs, which I bring to every pet I watch. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior pet needing extra support, I have the knowledge and patience to give them the attention they deserve. From training to emotional support, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for! Pet care is a big part of my routine, even on my workdays, but I definitely have more availability Monday through Wednesday since I’m off those days. I love spending my free time giving animals the attention and care they need, whether that’s walking, playing, or just making sure they’re happy and comfortable. In my client's home or mine, I provide attentive care for pets. With a tall fenced yard for safe outdoor play, doggy gates to limit access, and an array of toys, I ensure a stimulating and secure environment. Additionally, I encourage socialization by arranging playdates with other pets to promote companionship and fun.

“Sarah was very good at communicating and had an ease around our 6 animals. Upon our return, all animals were calm and did not seem stressed at all. I would recommend Sarah to others.”


“Holly is amazing. She was very attentive with the dogs and sent my pictures of them. She stayed 9 nights and everything was wonderful when we got home. It’s so nice having someone you can trust. Hopefully we will be using Holly again soon. Rover made this so easy to find her and with the payment system. Thanks Holly you’re awesome 👏🏻”


“There were no problems or issues with Briana. She stayed in my home for three days watching Maggie, who has some anxiety issues. Briana texted me pictures and information while I was gone, which was appreciated. Briana communicated well throughout the stay. Thank you, Briana.”


“Rachel was amazing! She sent regular photo, video, and text updates while I was gone and kept my two dogs happy and well exercised. She was especially patient with one of my dogs who tends to be nervous in general but even more so when I’m away. My house was clean and tidy when I came home with everything as I had left it. I would recommend Rachel to anyone in need of a loving, respectful sitter for their fur babies!”

About: I am fun but professional. I know how to teach dogs to shake & roll over. Some dogs take longer to learn. I have lived with animals almost my whole life, labs and cats, and have house sat with dogs and cats. I can pet sit full time, or fill in the gaps in between if needed. I am here to be flexible for your demanding schedule. Each pet will have a morning and evening routine. This is important so that they are happy and listen to commands given unless they are cats. Cats run differently than dogs do, but both are equally loved. I only care currently for small dogs and cats, but would be open to labs. They will be watched after as if they were my own.
