“Catherine was a huge help with a last minute drop in visit. She was very patient with me after I gave some bad directions for house entry. I can tell Gunner enjoyed her visit through the pictures!”


“AMAZING! Sent me sooo many photos of my babe. And was able to work with my last minute/difficult schedule :) very appreciative of her! And will definitely be using her services next time I’m in the area. Highly recommend! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my girl :)”


“Stephanie is reliable, trustworthy & goes above and beyond + the dogs love her :) Grateful to have someone I feel comfortable having around when I am going away or days I just need the extra help! Couldn't recommend her more!!”


“Tania did an amazing job watching over our pets the 4 days we were away. She had great attention to detail, checked in regularly with updates, and followed the instructions perfectly. Aspen seemed to love Tania! We would definitely recommend her to anyone and we plan on having her watch our pets again in the future!”


“Cassidy was simply fantastic. It was clear from the first moment that she had a lot of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even horses (I own one.) Cassidy was always responsive in communicating. I was able to go on my trip, knowing my kids were in good hands. There is no doubt that I will have Cassidy care for my animals the next time.”


About: My husband and I have cared for dogs our whole lives. We have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages. We also have experience with leash training, teaching commands, and crate training. Between Chad and I, there will almost always be someone at house watching your dog. Our fully fenced in yard allows us to let your dog run around and play at anytime. We typically feed all of our animals 2x a day, but can feed your’s on a different schedule if needed. All dogs are taken out every 4 hours during the day. At night, the last potty break is around midnight, and the first one around 7am. Since we have 4 dogs of our own, we are used to building our time around them. If we are ever gone from the house, we put the dogs in their crates for their safety and comfort. As mentioned above, we have a fully fenced in lot with ample space for dogs to run around and enjoy. We love dogs and any dog that we care for will be treated as if it is our own. We love snuggling with them in bed, throwing the ball outside, and taking them on walks. Our goal is to make your dog feel as comfortable and as at home as possible. Due to our schedules, one of us is always home unless we run an errand together, so your dog will always be in great company. We have 4 dogs: 1 fixed female dachshund 4yo, 1 fixed male dachshund 8yo, 1 intact male bloodhound 8yo, 1 intact male hound mix 1yo. All of our dogs are up to date on shots and have ample experience playing with other dogs. The dachshund’s tend to do their own thing, and the hounds love to spend as much time as they can outside. None of our dog’s are aggressive, but we are prepared to separate any of our dogs from the main living space, if ever needed. We also have an indoor/outdoor cat who is up to date on shots, he usually stays in our room, closed off from everyone else when inside. We have a 1.5 year old son who adores all animals and will love your dog. We take precautions to make sure he is never getting into a dog’s space and disturbing their space. Our son’s room is gated off from all animals. We have a fenced off area in the back of our property with chickens.

“Hirono is an absolute rock star and we are so happy we found her to check in on our cat for us when we are away for several days at a time. You can tell she is a true cat lover. She is super dependable, easy to work with, remembers things well, and we LOVE that she always sends us several pictures and an update when she comes to visit our cat. We have a super shy cat, yet he warmed up to her very quickly, so she has been a perfect fit for what we needed. She will continue to be our first call when we need someone to care for our cat. Thanks for everything, Hirono!”


“Camden is an absolute blessing. She is amazing with my high energy pup. She goes above and beyond to take care of my pup and treats my home with respect. She is quick to communicate and is flexible with the schedule. I can’t say enough good.”


“During my 2-week absence, Christian did a fabulous job caring for my cats Tommy and Coco. Because she was communicative and responsive, I experienced no anxiety about leaving them in her care. Christian sent me wonderful pictures and texts that reflected her extraordinary gift for compassionate caregiving. Tommy and Coco were obviously happy and stress free because Christian loved and cared for them as I do. My cats were literally crazy for her, as she spoiled them rotten. Amazingly, Tommy posed in pictures with Christian, as if she’d raised him from a kitten; and my skittish Coco, who normally hides from strangers, allowed Christian to regularly find her “hiding.” I give Christian my highest praise for a job exceptionally done. I could not have been more pleased. Not only is she professional and courteous, Christian has a phenomenal gift of spirit. For anyone seeking pet care of excellent quality, I would recommend Christian. In the future, she will be my first choice to care for my Tommy and Coco.”

“Bryce and his wife were able to come visit my kitty with only a days notice. They took their time to let him warm up to them and sent me pictures and great updates. Thankful to have some peace of mind that he was doing ok while I was gone.”


About: I have 15 years of pet loving experience. I have past experience with bottle feeding anything from goats to puppies and kittens. I currently have two dogs and one cat. The dogs go for walks in the morning before work, and a walk after work accompanied with playing fetch for as long as my dog can. He decides when we go back inside since he has been inside all day. My other dog get belly rubs and kisses for as long as his brother is playing fetch. Once we go in, they flop on the floor and the cat then gets my undivided attention and a few treats. I like telling you about my day with my fur babies because it is exactly how I plan to treat yours. My Monday thru Friday work schedule is 5:00am till 3:30pm. I work full time and all pets will be left alone for eight to nine hours Monday through Friday. Please confirm that you understand that before booking. This is a hobby for me because I LOVE dogs, I will decline as necessary My yard is not fenced and I cannot accept flight risks. I have two dogs that love everyone and a cat that thinks he is in charge. If needed, I do reserve the right to crate any dog I deem necessary whether it’s yours or mine. Usually mine

“Amy went above and beyond— and is most certainly deserving of great recognition. She took on sitting my dog Benny and short notice and did a phenomenal job. First impression- timeliness! I had booked her for four drop in visits and she was on time for each single one. Secondly, her attention to detail. She asks all the right questions and executes flawlessly. She also has good initiative. Lastly, she makes sure she’s reporting back with Rover Cards that include detailed events and pictures. I highly recommend Amy and will be using her again.”

“Olivia was great looking after our fur babies! She’s very communicative and sent lots of photos, she even brought a special treat for them :) I would definitely recommend her!! Thank you so much again Olivia!”


About: I have had animals all my life and I have always been the neighborhood dog walker. I'm a dog mom to Charlie the chiweenie. We love sitting at the dog park or going on long strolls. I'm currently available anytime during the week. My preference would be early morning or afternoon walks before the pavement gets to hot for your dogs feet. I have a vehicle to drive to your home. I am comfortable with any harness or leash for the walk. I am strong so I can handle any dog that pulls.

Haley was amazing with my girls, we will definitely ask for her help again! I literally don’t go anywhere because I was too worried to leave my babies. Haley, was detailed, dedicated and loving to my dogs…and was even able to make my little, shy, very anxious, disabled girl wag her tail and be happy while we were away. She sent me photos all the time which I loved and made it easier to know they were happy and healthy. She is truly one of a kind and has been the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. Haley is the BEST!
