“Ashleigh was amazing with my 3 dogs! She took them on a walk while she stayed over night with them! A great dog sitter! I would recommend her to anyone, took great care of the dogs and the house while we were out! Thank you again 🩷”


“Anna did such a good job caring for Mowgli and communicating with me. Mowgli is currently a very involved medical case, and Anna took on the challenge like a pro. She restricted his activity (no easy feat with a large breed puppy), changed countless bandages (including purchasing more supplies), gave oral medication, used a light therapy device, and brushed his teeth! All the while she was sending me photos of Mowgli and commenting how cute he was. She even bought him a toy! I am so relieved that the person taking care of my whole world (!) loved him like I do. Her passion and ability to follow detailed instructions helped Mowgli continue to heal in my absence. I will certainly book Anna again and encourage anyone looking for a dependable caretaker to do the same. Thank you, Anna ♥️”


About: I grew up on a farm, my experience with animals started the very day I was born. It goes well beyond my years of life I am currently free every day of the week. I am in school but that schedule goes based off me and when I can get to it pretty much. I live on 3 acres but my yard is fenced in and I offer a crate I have plenty of toys and treats and my own dog gets plenty of exercise


“As always our babies were very well cared for. Got pictures and videos while we were gone as well. We got home to very happy pups and kitties. We don’t use any other sitter at this point because she just takes such good care of everyone. She even makes sure the lizard and fish are tended to. Highly recommend her to anyone.”


“This was our first experience using Rover so my wife and I were slightly nervous, however after meeting Spirit and seeing how she was with Roland we decided to give it a shot. While we were gone we received pictures and videos daily letting us know our boy was in the best possible hands. Roland can’t wait for the next time!”


“I have had quite a few rover sitters due to moving for jobs and she has been the best by far! I felt like my dogs were well taken care of and she sent both pictures as well a couple of videos of all the cuddles/playtime. She was also respectful and dependable.”


About: I've taken care of animals my entire life including small breeds to larger breeds and always do my best to fit their needs. I have raised dogs from weeks old to senior pups! I also volunteer at a animal shelter to get practice to better take of any type of dog. I am currently on a summer break from college and need some extra money to pay off my tution fully and have gas money for future travels. So caring for animals is my number one dream job and getting some experience would be great. I promise your pet will never be bored or unloved! I will always be there to care for your animal and take them outside when needed and when they just need some fresh air!

About: I am a kennel/vet technician, and I have been working in animal care clinics since 2017. I can administer medications and insulin, give baths and toe nail trims, as well as anal glad expression! I am excited to work with your babies! I am available for all services I have listed any day of the week! I can’t wait to build relationships with you and your babies I have a 6ft wooden fenced in back yard, along with three friendly pups of my own. If for any reason they do not get along or if you wish for your babies to be separate from mine, my backyard is separated into two areas, so I can close one gate door and the pups will not see each other !

“This was the second time Alaina house sat for me. I work 24 hour shifts and due to irregular circumstances, I need a dog sitter for the day last minute. Alaina was willing to help me out. Again, she did an outstanding job. And again, I highly recommend her!”


About: I have a primary background in newborn and childcare, which as given me an easy transition to fur babies. I grew up with all kinds of animals, including lots of dogs and cats. I am a college graduate who is getting another degree, hence the nannying / pet care services on the side. I love the outdoors and getting in nature. I am a prompt communicator, reliable, and a natural nurturer. I will treat your fur baby like my very own. I am a part time nanny right now with a various schedule. I do have the month schedule about 4 weeks ahead though, and I have many, many days off. If you work with me, I’m happy to work with you! I would prefer boarding at the owner’s house. I find pets are most comfortable in their own homes. I will hear you out though for unique circumstances. I have 3 dogs at my house and a large yard.

About: Hi, I’m Heather! As a current emergency veterinary technician with over 10 years of experience in the veterinary field, I bring a deep understanding of animal health, behavior, and care to every pet I meet. I share my home with quite the crew—5 dogs, 3 cats, a bearded dragon, and a guinea pig—all of whom are fully vaccinated and kept up to date on their preventatives. Caring for animals isn’t just my career—it’s my passion and a huge part of my daily life. Whether your pet needs basic care, medication administration, or just someone patient and knowledgeable to love them while you’re away, you can trust they’ll be in safe, experienced hands with me. Outside of work, I’m a mom to two biological sons and two step-sons. Our family enjoys camping, boating, and spending time outdoors together (often with our pets in tow!). I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pets, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or special instructions. I’m happy to accommodate individual needs and look forward to meeting your furry (or scaly!) family members! I am currently an Emergency veterinary technician “on call”. I work PRN which is as needed. I was working full time in general practice and moved to the ER for more flexibility with my kids and life’s schedule. I currently do not have a fenced yard but i have no problems taking dogs out on a leash multiple times daily for bathroom time and exercise

About: When I was very young, I was usually in charge of taking care of my great grandmother's Boston Terrier, Fancy, when I was home alone. More recently, taking care of my dad's pets when he's out is still my job! I always love to care for and spend time with animals --I'm probably better at it than talking to people, lol! I'd be overjoyed to take care of other people's pets as well! I'm still searching for a job, so aside from church and volunteer work, I've got all the time in the world to come and help out with your pets! The only time I wouldn't be available would be for appointments and the like. As long as you can give me some instructions on what to do and what not to do in your home or to your pet, I'm golden! I always try to leave somewhere looking the same or better than how it was when I got there. It absolutely helps to have an idea of what your pet likes or doesn't like, or if there's a particular schedule I should stick to!

About: I have owned dogs for over 12 years and give the best time and care for them. I also was the one who would watch and care for any family or friends pets when they'd go out of town for a few weeks at a time. I am available 7 days a week. I tend to stay home and I don't leave the house when I am watching your sweet fur friends. I have a fenced yard with one big dog. He is super sweet and loves to play. He plays gentle with other dogs and if having your pups around my dog is a problem I can keep them separated.

About: I've been around animals all of my life. Have also spent plenty of time volunteering at local animal shelters (mostly Humane Society of Pulaski County), helping out in any way that I can. Mu schedule is pretty flexible during the weekdays. My best time is around lunchtime and early afternoon (12-4). I am completely open during the weekend. I currently have a cat and two dogs. Even with all of the care care they require on a day to day basis, I'm still up for giving your pet(s) all the care and attention they need.

About: i've taken care of dogs basically my whole life, we have 7 dogs that inside dogs and have a lot more animals that i know how to take care of, if family or friends need someone to take care of their house/dog sitting they immediately suggest me to people because i LOVE dogs and ill protect them with everything i'm not currently working unless i'm dog/house sitting for someone but i'm mostly open every day all day until around 6, expect for weekends mostly I have a dog at my house but she is very friendly but can be crated if needed, or I can easy crate the dog i'm sitting
