“Kathy was fantastic in her care, professionalism and updates. We have a senior jack russell mix and a very shy bernadoodle. She took their individual needs into consideration and she gave them her full attention. They got lots of walking and play time. Her photos were great. I would definitely rebook!”


“Tiffani did a fantastic job and communicated well! I would trust Tiffani with my boys anytime. Thank you so much for your extra care and going above and beyond with my babies!”


“Ryan did a great job dropping in checking on our dogs, and handled our dog that has some anxiety issues with great care. All drop ins on time with detailed notes and pictures. Would recommend to anyone needing care for their pets!”


About: We always watch our friends and neighbors dogs! We have heard some struggle to find someone to care for their pet when they are away! We would love to help! My husband and I work from home and our dog loves to play! Having new friends for him and someone else to keep him busy would be great! We have a fenced in front porch and back yard. Over an acre in the back to run and play! Plenty of safe fun for your dog!

“Nia did an amazing job understanding the needs and caring for our diabetic senior cat! She provided great visit descriptions and photos! We highly recommend her for your pets' care!”


“We have a very sensitive dog that doesn't warm easily or quickly to new people, but I gotta say; Riley has been great with our Rose. Riley is patient and talks to Rose to get her comfortable. With our Rose being how she is, it is a repeat over and over for Riley to work with Rose to keep getting Rose more comfortable and Riley keeps her patience. Thank you Riley for working with our Rose, Pumpkin, and Chancey!”


“Mamie was amazing with our pup. Always kept us updated and made sure Beau was comfortable and taken care of just as we would. Would definitely recommend and have her watch our pup again ❤️”


“Peace of Mind and Five-Star Care We cannot recommend Luna highly enough. She is professional, an excellent communicator, and she treated our pets as if they were her own. From the beginning, Luna was punctual and asked for detailed instructions, which she followed to the letter. She was diligent about updating the Rover scorecard with great photos, and she stayed for the entire booked time. Luna has a wonderful way with animals. She expertly handled our 85-pound German Shepherd on multiple walks, even on hot days, while always being mindful of her comfort. She also spent plenty of quality time playing with our cat. What truly set her apart was how she handled an unexpected issue. Our basement flooded (through no fault of her own), and she notified us immediately, offering to help in any way she could. In a very thoughtful gesture, she even texted after her stay just to check on the situation. She saved us many hours of clean up in our basement because she took action immediately upon discovering the basement beginning to flood. We came home to happy and relaxed pets who clearly had a great time with her. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Luna and will be booking her for all our future needs. Thank you, Luna!”


About: I’ve had numerous pets over my entire life. My daughter and I are looking to provide love and care to dogs or cats in our area on an as needed basis. Our schedule is flexible until the school years starts and then will be on an as needed basis for nights and weekends. I would prefer the care be provided in the client home. Due to having a handicapped daughter in our home, I would prefer to provide the care in the client home. I can provide drop-in’s, walks, daily care, or overnight care.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs and cats, growing up with 5 dogs and 6 cats at once. I now have a Lab, Great Pyrenees, mix whom I have trained and taken care of since a puppy. She is an energetic and roudy dog who needs constant attention and affection, so loving animals comes easy to me especially with my little partner. I also grew up with 12 cows, so I am comfortable with those bigger “grass puppies” if needed! I’m currently looking for a full time job, but am available right now all day every day. I’m a student athlete who wrestles in college, so for right now I train from 7am-9am. After that I am completely free to play with any fur babies that need loving. Any holidays are also completely open in my schedule. I have a fenced in small yard, which my pup loves to play in. She is spoiled so she sleeps on the bed with me, and even gets her own blanket, but she is also trained and is working on her recall. She knows the basics along with some party tricks I have taught her! I’m able to get comfortable with animals and owners, to assure that your pets will be safe and loved during the whole visit. I’m experienced in dog, cat, cow, sheep, and disabled dog care. Growing up on a small farm, I was well rounded with the care of our 5 dogs, 6 cats, and 12 cows along with our 4 sheep!

About: I owned a dog for a couple years who had a disease that required special care when eating and drinking water, he had a lot of medical needs. I became profiecent in his needs and provided great care before he passed. With that said, I have experience with taking care of dogs with special needs. I also have experience raising a puppy from very young, so I understand reactiveity in dogs and have learned different ways to calm them down or pay special attention to them during moments of high reactivity ( like during walks) I am currently work remotely from home and have a pretty flexible schedule during my day that allows me to do side quests such as rover I have a fenced in yard and 1 dog who loves playing with other dogs! so your fur baby would have a best friend to play with during the day. I can also easily crate my or your dog

About: I've owned and cared for many different breeds and ages of dogs my whole life! I have a soft spot in my heart for animals and promise to take the best care of your fur babies! I am a full-time teacher from 7-2:30, but outside of my hours I am very flexible! I am also flexible most weekends and have my own transportation. In my years of working with animals, I remain vigilant and caring of your animals, as I know I would want the same for my animals at home!

About: Hello! My name is Zoe. My family have always had a pup while growing up. Each member of my family has a furry member. Currently I am the proud owner of our family dog. She is 12 years old and a Chocolate Lab/Blue Heeler Mix. As well as a proud auntie to a German Shepard, Pit Bull, & Doberman Mix. I believe our pets aren't just pets, they are family. I have experience caring and loving for all animals. My love for being outside and going for walks, as well as how deeply I care for every animal, made me want to meet and care more furry friends! I am very excited to meet your furry member of the family! I do work full time, Monday-Friday second shift. I also have a pup of my own that I will prioritize. My time available is a bit limited but my weekends and mornings are free to spend walking and caring for your animals! I treat my pup just like I would a child and I will do the same for yours! Before caring for your furry family member 1-on-1, I would do a meet and greet so you and your pup feel safe and we can build trust with one another!

Melissa T.
“I’ve been trusting Melissa with my black lab, Kiley, for the past two years, and I couldn’t be more grateful! From day one, it was clear that Melissa is not just a dog sitter—she’s a true animal lover. Kiley has always felt right at home with her, and I’ve never had to worry for a second about her well-being. Melissa goes above and beyond to make sure Kiley is not only cared for but genuinely happy. Whether it’s taking her on long walks, playing her favorite games, or just providing some good old-fashioned cuddles, Melissa makes sure Kiley gets the attention she deserves. And Kiley absolutely adores her! What really stands out about Melissa is her communication. She always keeps me updated with cute photos and little anecdotes about Kiley’s day, which always puts my mind at ease. I can tell Melissa genuinely cares about Kiley’s happiness and health, and that’s priceless to me. If you’re looking for someone reliable, loving, and experienced to take care of your furry friend, I wholeheartedly recommend Melissa. She’s been a lifesaver for me, and I know Kiley looks forward to every stay with her. Thank you, Melissa, for everything you do!”


Brianna S.
“Bri has always been our go-to when we've needed help with our dogs and sheep! She was always available for drop-ins, vacations, or the occasional "the sheep got out again!" Roo and Hutch miss her deeply and can't wait for future visits.”
