About: Woof! 🐶 My name is Anna. I have several years of professional experience working with dogs, and I’m confident with dogs of all sizes—including large breeds like Bernese Mountain Dogs, Great Danes, and Rottweilers. I’m CPR-certified and experienced in administering medications, so your pet’s health and safety are always a priority. I offer reliable drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight house sitting. Over the years, I’ve built strong, trusting relationships with pet parents who know I treat every dog like my own. Whether your pup needs a calm walk, playful attention, or extra TLC, I’m here to make sure all pets feel safe, understood and loved. At your request, I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. If you’re looking for a responsible, experienced, and genuinely passionate caregiver. ♥️ I’d love to meet you and your pup! I’m currently between jobs, which gives me a flexible and open schedule for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I’m available most days and times, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m also quick to respond and happy to work around your pet’s routine to provide the best care possible! If you have a fenced yard that’s great! Other wise I can take them on a leash when going potty. I also have a fenced backyard and a friendly, 6 year old labradoodle.

About: I love animals sometimes more than I love people, haha! I’ve got a golden retriever/Brittney spaniel mix & have loved playing with her every day after work. I find a lot of joy in being around dogs & when we go to the pet park, she loves to play with other animals & so do I. I am more than happy to board, walk, spend time, & love on your kiddo! I understand how hard it is to leave your little friend in the arms of a stranger, so I can send pictures & videos throughout their care time with me! I work week days so I cant be with them from 7:30-4 but spend the rest of the time when I get home spending good quality time with them! Weekends are always free all day for me I have a fenced in pet park at my apartment as well as places to take nice walks, & my apartment has a kennel & a comfy couch to sit or lay on!

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life — from the family cat and our first Labs growing up to my current Labrador retrievers, Huck and Cash. I’ve seen it all: puppies with endless energy, aging animals in their glory years, hunting injuries in the field, upset stomachs, and long-term illness like cancer. I trained Huck myself from puppyhood, and I’ve helped two beloved pets cross the rainbow bridge with comfort, dignity, and love. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to get to know their needs, personalities, and routines. Whether they’re anxious, playful, shy, or slowing down — I adapt and care for them like they’re my own. What sets me apart is that I’ve lived the full life cycle of pet ownership — and I treat your pets with the same care, patience, and compassion I expect for mine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care based on your needs. While I do occasionally travel, I plan those trips well in advance and keep my availability updated so your pet’s care is never disrupted. My goal is to make your time away stress-free — for both you and your pet. “Will they stick to our routine? Will my dog be happy? What if something goes wrong?” If you’ve ever left your pet while traveling, you’ve asked yourself those same questions. I know I have. I’m Paul — a lifelong dog lover, Lab owner, and someone who has traveled often for work. I’ve felt the stress of leaving my dogs behind and the incredible peace of mind that comes with finding a sitter you trust completely. That’s why I offer more than just pet sitting or walks — I offer dependability, real-time communication, and the kind of care I’d want for my own pets. With two Labrador retrievers of my own and years of experience caring for animals, I’m here to make your life easier and your pets’ time away from you as fun and comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect: * Trust and transparency: Daily updates with photos so you’re never left wondering. * Flexibility: I offer drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, or boarding in my home (with a fenced yard and plenty of space). * Preparedness: I have a truck with kennels for safe trail walks or emergencies and experience handling injuries and medications. * Routine-focused care: I keep your pets on their normal schedule so they stay relaxed and happy. * A calm, respectful presence: I treat your pets (and home) as if they were my own. Whether it’s a weekend away or a weeklong trip, I’ll give your pets the attention, structure, and love they deserve — so you can travel with confidence and peace of mind

About: I am a pet person who has always loved animals, especially dogs and have always had a very close connection with any dog I meet! I will also provide my own leashes, doggy bags, and treats! I am currently in cosmetology school and have Mondays and weekends off. I’d also be available Tuesday-Friday evenings after 4pm. I am also available on most weekends. I have two dogs at home and am comfortable with walking them, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they have what they need. I can administer medications as well.

About: Hi! I am Kylee, I have been raised around horses, dogs and cats. I currently have a dog of my own, he is a English Labrador. I have 10+ years of pet sitting experience, a masters degree in psychology with an emphasis in applied behavior analysis - which is focused on human behavior, however, our furry friends are very similar in the analysis, function, and behavior training. Puppy training is a specialty of mine which includes basic commands, crate training, potty training and leash training. I strive to go above and beyond when caring for animals to not only meet their basic needs but also engagement. Your pet will always have a friend in me! I currently work full time, I am a salaried worker so my schedule is pretty flexible. Typically I work 7am to 3pm Monday through Friday. However on Tuesdays I work 5am to 1pm. I live on a 1/3 of an acre in town, with a fully fenced in backyard, and a friendly almost 2 year old Red English Lab.

About: I have lived with and taken care of numerous animals in my life. Growing up on a farm gave me a love for animals and taught me how to properly care for them. I grew up living with cats, horses, dogs, etc. I currently have one cat named Blaze who is a part of the family. Due to Blaze being intolerant to dogs I will not be offering any in-home dog sitting services. I will be more than happy to take care of your family through drop-in playtime, walks, or overnight stays depending on your needs. I am currently enrolled at the local university pursuing a major in architecture. Through my career of personal aid visiting different families in need, I have become familiar with the neighborhoods around town as well as the parks you may want your pet to visit. I am looking forward to meeting you and your family. I currently work on the weekend, and I also attend college. This frees up a lot of my time during the week. I love helping out others and seeing the animals in our community. As mentioned I have one cat, he loves to engage in chase and will either chase me or a Lazer pointer. I will meet all of you requirements as well as provide cuddles and play.

About: With over 10 years of experience, I combine a passion for animals with professional expertise. As a nurse, I understand the importance of compassionate care, and that’s exactly what I provide for your furry family members. Meet the Team: As a seasoned pet sitter, I’ve cared for countless dogs, cats, and other critters. My own pets are my pride and joy, and I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. My Little Helpers: With three children under the age of 7, our home is always bustling with energy and laughter. Your pets will enjoy the playful company of our little ones during their stay. I am also a professional photographer and would love to capture some fun photos of your furry friend! Ask me about my add on photography service! Between my husband and I, someone is always home. It would not be a problem if your pet would need frequent bathroom breaks. As a part time nurse, I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I also have a cat that keeps to himself. He is allowed to free roam the main floor. They play outside whenever I am out. Your animal will be treated like my own pet with your typical rules and requests respected.

About: I grew up in a family of animal lovers. We had many different types of pets throughout my childhood. Additionally, neighbors and friends have trusted me to pet sit and check in on their animals frequently, which I loved doing and took very seriously. I currently have a 7 year old bloodhound. She is both super rambunctious and incredibly lazy, which keeps me on my toes, but has taught me so much about dog ownership. I love animals and would be honored to be entrusted with caring for your pet. I currently have work from home, but have a very flexible schedule. My life is very low key, so nights and weekends are frequently free. Keeping your pet as comfortable and on their routine as possible is my upmost concern. In addition to feeding them and making sure they have bathroom breaks, I am happy to take them on walks and play with them. If they like cuddles and belly rubs, I will do that too. Like I said, keeping your pet happy and giving you peace of mind is my biggest concern.

About: Hello- my name is Katie. I work full-time as a registered nurse and am just doing this on the side for some fun! I have a fur baby, Stella, who is 6. She is a Pomeranian ShihTzu mix. I also have Bella (9), who is a Cavalier King Charles. I am responsible, dependent, and energetic. Small-medium sizes dogs are my specialty. I now work from home, which isn't going to change either, so I have a lot of flexibility. I know that it can be difficult to trust someone new with your dog, but let me alleviate that stress for you! Looking forward to meeting you and your doggies! I currently work full-time from home so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I am open to drop in visits, dog walking or whatever you may need! I can work around most times and we can come up with a solution together to get your dog taken care of! Just shoot me a message and ask as my calendar is not always correct. My dogs have the run of the house. Both dogs have full access to water at all times. I do have them on a feeding schedule as well. I also have a fenced in backyard so the dogs can go outside and play freely.

“Anna was absolutely amazing with my dog. We didn't have time to do a meet & greet (schedule conflicts), but she seemed like a great person based on our conversations and her reviews on Rover. What made her stellar was the way she dealt with a mishap caused by my puppy. Butter decided to munch on some cork while I was at work and Anna went above and beyond to take care of my dog. My life is 900% better since Anna arrived.”

Cassia B.
“I have known Cassia for nearly four years now. I find that she is very responsible when it comes to animals and has done great with my childhood cat Blaze since we've moved in. She goes out of her way to order the best she can for him and even takes him out for walks. I have known her to be an assistant teacher as well as a nursing assistant. There are many times where she would drive an hour away to dog sit her family's dogs or even just to visit them. I really believe she loves what she does.”
