The peace of mind Marie brings is unmatched! We will definitely be frequenting her services as often as possible. Thanks Marie!”


“Excellent service. Zach and his daughter were great with my dog Rex! Great setup with a tall fence and Rex loved playing with their dogs.This was a same day booking and they were able to accommodate us last minute and also the following day. I had only left my dog one day at a kennel his whole life so was nervous and within minutes knew I had made the correct choice with Zach and his home!”

About: My name is Holly. I have 1 chihuahua. I am an animal lover! I grew up on a farm, so I am familiar with care of many types of animals. I have never not had a dog in my life. I have a flexible schedue, own my own home, work remotely full-time , and am very dependable. When house sitting, i do prefer stays less than 4 days, but willing to consider longer stays. I will have to bring my 4 lb chihuahua with me to house sit, so your dog(s) would have to be good with other dogs. I'm looking forward to meeting and caring for your furry loved ones! Why I love dog sitting I have had at least 1 dog my whole life. I've had breeds ranging from Chihuahuas, to Boxers, to Bull Terriers. Dogs are a blessing and I love having them in my life. I will administer pills and liquid drops, but not shots. I work remotely, so I am fully available to your pet. I have a 15 year old chihuahua who is very chill. No children or anyone else in the house, so if your dog or cat needs a relaxing stay, I can provide that.

About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life, and now that I’m recently retired, I have the time to give them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I treat every dog like part of the family—whether we’re going for a walk, playing fetch, or just relaxing together. With a calm, patient nature and a flexible schedule, I can focus fully on your pet’s needs and routines. You can rest easy knowing they’ll be safe, happy, and loved like one of my own. I am recently retired and am available all of the time. I currently have two small dogs of my own and watching an additional dog would be no trouble at all. If you dog stays with me, they will be treated just like my own pet. I am able to walk them, feed them special diets, or administer oral medication. I am home almost all of the time and can give them the attention they need.

About: I was raised with dogs. I have always had a dog. I have showed dogs . I have taken all my dogs to dog obedience classes and services classes. I love the with all my heart. I have a dog now that I take care of . I am currently available all times of the day so there is no issue on the time I can take care of a pet. I have a fenced in back yard that is a great area for your dog. I also have a doggie door. I can come any time to your home and stay

About: I've grown up with fuzzies and cared for them all. Tended and loved bunnies both big and small, pups young and old, cats timid and bold. Regardless of pet, I will treat 'em like gold. Loved on and spoiled they'll be sorry to go, I'll keep them quite cozy and you in the know. Caring for fur-babies requires love, understanding, and flexibility. Each pet comes with her own needs and personality. With three dogs (Diamond, Trish, and Dusty) and three cats (Joel, Joe, and Dom) in my care, I've had a little bit of practice in nourishing each individual purr-sonality. Once we get the schedules sorted, I'll be sure to give your loved one the same consideration and I think we'll get along just fine. That being said, I kindly ask that you be mindful of my time. When I reply to your initial message, I typically wait 4-24 hours for a response. If I don’t hear back within that window, I may archive the request. If you send me a booking request but aren't sure of the exact dates and times, I can hold your request for a few hours while you confirm the details. If the issue is not resolved within that time frame, the request may be archived. Hello, and thank you for meeting me here! If I'm at your house, your fur-baby will be let out every 4-8 hours unless otherwise needed. At least one daily walk is guaranteed (weather permitting) so your little one can catch up on all the neighborhood gossip; if there's a dog park nearby, I'll take him to meet up with his friends. If you'll provide me with your dog's dietary needs, medications, and routines; I'll do my best to make sure that he's feelin' just as fly as he would be if you were there. Now if your pup chooses to stay at my lovely establishment, I do have a questionnaire for all clients to ensure that every aspect of your pup’s care is covered. Among other things, I ask about your pup’s needs, medications, vaccinations, preferences, and routines. After the business part is sorted, I have for your pupper two yards; one for business, one for fun. My house has two floors; the first floor is all his. The rules are pretty chill. Pets are allowed on the furniture, food and water are freely available, tricks are rewarded with treats, and if he's a well-behaved gentle-pup, bedtime is kennel-free. However, if you have different boundaries set for your pet I'll be happy to ensure that your little one minds his manners during his stay. Oh, one more thing: I am the tug-o-war champion, though your dog is welcome to try and take my title.

About: With 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I have developed a strong understanding of their unique needs, personalities, and health requirements. I have successfully managed feeding schedules, grooming routines, and administered medications when necessary. My experience also includes providing companionship and stimulating playtime to ensure both physical and mental well-being. I am skilled in recognizing signs of illness or discomfort, and I am quick to respond to any medical or emergency situations. Growing up with multiple dogs, cats and horses, I understand the importance of creating a safe and comfortable environment. In my family, pets ARE family and at holiday gatherings pets frequently outnumber people! Whether it’s walking or cuddling, I am committed to making your pet feel as loved as all of ours! I am working as a nursing assistant whenever I pick up. I have plenty of time take care of animals, either to babysit them or just a visit. I live on an acre lot on a quiet, dead end street. Woods in the back and trails behind that to walk on for miles. I have a friendly 12 year old dog who loves to keep company to other pups.

About: Animals have always been part of my life, from Dalmatians and a Great Dane to a sassy pet chicken. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, and even had lovebirds at one point! I truly enjoy connecting with each pet’s unique personality. Working from home with a flexible schedule means I have lots of time to give your pets the care and attention they need, whenever you need help. Think of my home as your pet's fun, safe hangout! Working from home means endless cuddles and playtime, with trust and their well-being always my top priority.

“I was far from home and needed a very last minute dog sitter. I reached out to Tyler and he immediately responded and we set up a quick meet and greet, and you could tell Tyler has a special bond with animals. Tyler took great care of my sweet boy Rusty. He took him on extra walks and met Rusty’s special needs. If I lived closer I would definitely be a repeat customer! Thanks Tyler!!”


“Pat was amazing with our dog Lucy. Our daycare had to go over until the morning due to getting home super late and she was very accommodating. Lucy had a blast playing with a new friend! We will definitely be back. Thank you!”


About: We have been pet owners for many years now and have had different breeds and sizes. We will care for your pet like our own! We do have one dog, Diesel, in the house and he is really good with other dogs. We will walk your dog around our neighbor hood and if it’s okay with you taking them to the dog park that is just a short drive away. We will send pictures at least daily and keep you up to date with how your animal is doing. :) I currently work from home right now so I am home and able to take your pet out , play with it, take it for walks and just give it attention that it probably wants while it’s missing you . Prefer small to medium dogs as we already have a medium sized dog. We ask that you bring a crate for your dog we will crate them at night for their safety as safety is of utmost priority to us. While our dog is super friendly, we won’t take any chances. We also ask that your animal is up to date on their shots and has a flea preventative treatment.

“Hannah was great w/ my boys. She played w/ them and took them for a good walk and even sent me pics. They had room and freedom to roam the house freely and room to play catch for my shepherd, which was very important! Lol I have 2 big boys that are well behaved but can be intimidating for some ppl just d/t their size, Hannah showed no fear! Thank you for a great day!!”


About: My rover is always up and always being monitored. I have had a few people reach out to me through this app and we have had wonderful experiences! I know how hard it can be to leave a family member with a stranger! So reach out to me, let’s meet up and make sure that this will be a good fit! My boarding and sitting fees are reflective of the level of care your animal will receive in my care. I treat all animals as my own, allow them regular potty breaks, and take them for walks to expend their energy. My reviews speak for themself! Let me help you keep your animal safe and tended to while you rest, vacation, or attend to business! I live on my own, with only one cat as a pet. I have a two bedroom house with space on the higher level and then an open basement! I’m sure my space can accommodate your fur baby! Send me a message! Let’s see if we can figure this out together. I work from home most days so my schedule is usually wide open to take dogs out to the bathroom during the day and then extra exercise during the evenings. My home is in a quiet neighborhood filled with other lovely dogs. My cat is very nonchalant and typically minds his own business. Additionally, my daughter is only with me half time so that usually won’t pose any issues.
