“Jamie is fantastic! She is an excellent sitter as well as trainer. She is currently helping us with both. She has a gift with anxious dogs and is very knowledgeable about behavior as well. She educated us and collaborated with us on a plan for my dog that is very picky about which humans he trusts. Overall, she is very helpful, kind, and in tune with the specific dog’s needs!”

“Kaylah is as awesome, great communication and manners. She was so very respectful of me and my home during her visits. Clint absolutely loved meeting a new friend and she was so good with him. I felt so at ease knowing Kaylah was watching my boy while I was away. I highly recommend Kaylah for any and all future dog sitting/walking sessions.”

About: My husband and I own our home in the Sedgwick neighborhood, which has a fenced-in backyard and lots of safe space for long walks and playtime. We do not own a dog at the moment, so we have plenty of energy and love to go around! We also have years of experience caring for our dogs and sitting for friends who own dogs in a wide range of sizes and breeds. I pride myself on how well dogs listen to me when I try to train them to listen and maybe try a trick or two to keep their minds engaged and give them an enriching daily life. Please consider hiring us; your furry friends will be safe in very loving and nurturing hands. We both work less than 15 minutes away from home (Mon-Fri, 830-4) with full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. Because of our sedentary work lives, we try to stay active when we're not working with lots of walks and time outside. Owning our own home with a fenced-in yard allows us to give dogs of any size the room to explore and rest wherever they feel comfortable. We are attentive and LOVE the energy that a dog brings to our home. Having a pet around makes all the difference, especially when we can tell that they feel safe and enriched with play and comfort every day. Pet sitting is a win-win-win for us, your pet, and you!

About: I have had many dogs over the years and have trained and cared for all ages and stages. I have experience with reactive dogs, resource guarding, post surgery care, wound care, and medication. I have medic training and am not squeamish when it comes to wounds or illnesses. Public meet ups take place at Ryder park in Dewitt or Canal Landing in Fayetteville. When requesting please provide date and times you are free to meet. I do not offer tours of my home. After a public meet up I can arrange a tour of the yard if needed. This is for safety of dogs and people. Taking a break from the 9-5 job and staying home hanging with the dogs. Have availability to take on a few more dogs due to the passing of my current clients pets. Dogs are unique with their own needs and boundaries. I have a fully fenced back yard that dogs can access using a doggy door. Each dog (or family if siblings want to be together) are booked into their own room that is set up for their specific needs. The dogs gets to decompress and given whatever space they need to be happy and relaxed. I have crates of every size if the dog needs one. I do not crate unless there is a safety concern. Dogs have free reign of the house and yard as long as I am home. If I am not home the dogs are in their rooms which are video monitored (maximum of ~4 hours). The rooms are closed off with gates so dogs have open view of hallways. I use TV or music to create background noise. Dogs do not interact without supervision and any dog introduction is done slowly and never forced. The house is large enough that should a conflict arise the dogs can be placed in separate levels of the house and not interact. When dogs stay with me I see them as my dogs and treat them as family.

“This was the first time we used Rover for our 3 Samoyeds who mean the world to us. Lory was absolutely amazing! Did a meet and greet first so we would be comfortable with her. She is kind and compassionate and so good with dogs, especially our senior boy. The dogs loved her which means a lot. She was right on time for all the check ins and sent adorable pictures with a note on how everything went. I highly recommend Lory and will definitely plan on using her again!”

Jamie was excellent. I was worried about leaving Edgar bc we are very attached. Jamie sent me pictures everyday. She also found him when he was being shy so we knew he was ok. And she monitored his food and water so I knew he was eating and drinking. I felt so much better on my trip and I am so grateful! I will definitely ask her to come again.

Mary visited my cat Butch while I was away for three nights and four days, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. When I came home, everything was clean and well cared for. She is a very sweet person, and you can tell she has a gentle touch with cats. It gave me such peace of mind knowing that Butch was in good hands. I would definitely hire her again.

Adriana was great, and my cats were very well taken care of! One of my cats needs an inhaler, and Adriana was able to administer it and even had prior experience with cat inhalers—she also gave me thorough updates each visit, and sent me some adorable photos of the fast-moving little gremlins. I would definitely recommend her.

Mollie has been an amazing sitter for our cat, Chester, and he adores her! We appreciate all the quality time she spends with him during our time away. She is very thoughtful, caring and very trustworthy. We love the pictures and thorough updates that she provides after each drop-in... and Chester certainly enjoys all the attention, treats and brushings!

Sarah did such a good job of taking care of my cat that when I got home he acted like he didn’t even notice I was gone ! She was extremely helpful not only in taking care of my baby but also with household things like taking out the trash and bringing in packages! I would definitely recommend her to any cat parents!

Shaz was absolutely amazing! I love how she had no problem feeding my ferals for me as well as my 4 kitties who are usually shy around strangers. The photos she sent made me feel at ease seeing my Miney-Moo enjoying some scratches and rubbing her face against whatever corner she could find. I loved seeing my Nala girl having fun and playing in the pics. My kitties looked so relaxed and content. Dante looked so cute chilling by her feet. I felt bad when I forgot to mention that Dante wheezes when he's mad. Shaz was super concerned which I appreciated her checking in and alerting me :)

Lilly did a wonderful job caring for our pet Binkley, an elderly free-roam house rabbit! He is usually shy around strangers, but her quiet, gentle, and patient approach had him at ease with her in just a couple of days. She prepared his special food carefully and he actually gained a little weight during our ten day absence. We highly recommend her!
