“Lauren was amazing. She was very easy to contact both before and during the stay. We have never left my dog ever. She comes with us on trips. However, this was my son's wedding and everyone was staying at an air b&b where there were no dogs allowed. I did not have to worry at all. Lauren sent updates including pictures every day. I am definitely going to call Lauren in the future. I highly recommend her to be your go to sitter.”


“Shannon watched our two huskies and stayed in our home while we were away for a weekend. She took excellent care of our home, collected our mail, and took the best care of our Doggos. She sent several picture updates of our dogs which helped immensely. We will definitely use her in the future and highly recommend her to others!”


About: I don’t have my own pet anymore as he passed from old age. I like to take care of other people’s pets when they are on vacation and care for them with as much love as if they were my own. I will stay at your home if needed , schedule potty break services as well. I work at an elementary school so let out before I go to work and right after, evenings and bed time. I will take care of pets in clients home with care plan that fits the pets needs. Give them plenty of attention and care to take away any worries when you are away.

“Emily and Sarah were amazing with our dogs while we were away for the week. They not only cared for our pups with love and attention, but also kept the house spotless and treated our home with respect.

“Tasha was amazing! She was here always in time, she was super sweet with our new puppy, who accepted her immediately! She played with her, was attentive to her needs .

She has an relaxed attitude and the puppy feels this and is relaxed and calmed once Tasha leaves. I cannot thank her enough for all her help!! 😍😍”

About: I’ve taken care of family dogs and chickens my whole life. I currently take care of my own chickens, geese, dogs, and gecko! My animals are my joy and I spend time with them whenever I can. My time is yours as long as I know ahead of time! My schedule is flexible and I can work around yours however you need. Late nights, early mornings, let’s discuss. My dogs are currently on an electric fence and my poultry free range. I am not currently comfortable with stays at my home due to risk associated with my birds.

“Delaney went above and beyond for our dog during our weekend away. She provided updates, asked questions, and called with concerns, which allowed us to trust that everything was well underway and cared for in our absence. She left the house very clean.”


“Sam was great! She took care of my dog, Frankie for 3 nights and was super responsive and communicative, sending pictures every day! Frankie looked happy and well cared for!”



About: I love every kind of animal and think they deserve the best treatment. I have had dogs and other animals in my life since I was born. I grew up with animals ranging from small rodents to reptiles, a rescued squirrel, to the normal dog and cat. They take up my entire heart. I have been taking care of other people's pets since I was a child. These animals include: dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, alpacas, snakes, lizards, hissers, frogs, and bunnies. Family friends, neighbors, and family themselves come to me when they are in need of someone to watch their animals while they are gone. I have taken care of pets from daily check-ins to staying a week or more at their house. I would have no problem watching any animal for an extended period of time. I would not hesitate to take your dog with me where ever I went so they can get as much playtime and exercise as possible, unless of course they were a senior dog or special needs dog that must rest up a lot, or if you preferred otherwise! I am more than happy to come take care of any animal after 5pm on Mondays-Thursdays. Sometimes earlier on Thursdays! Fridays I have completely free and would love to get out there and be active, giving me something to do which I love. My weekends are iffy, but do not hesitate to ask. I'm more than happy to work things out with you! All animals will be cared for in whatever manner the owner(s) would like. I follow directions to a T. If there is ever something I am hesitant about or unsure of I will make sure to ask right at the beginning. I will not hesitate to ask questions or to contact in an emergency. These animals are not mine which makes me even more protective over them. Most of all, if they want it, the animals will get all the love they can ask for.


“Kim was awesome. She had a great attention to detail and asked questions to make sure Abby was well taken care of. She kept in contact while we were away. This was great as we did not worry at all! She also made sure our fish and chickens were cared for as well!!”


About: My husband and I recently returned from Costa Rica where we volunteered on a dog farm assisting with bathing, grooming and giving lots of love to almost 2,000 rescued dogs that live there. My husband also has a separate rover account under Maxi S. During my high school/college years my mother trained 5 different dogs for guiding eyes for the blind which I helped in the training process as well while home. I also started housesitting and caring for pets of local neighbors at the young age of 10. We have always had dogs in my home. I couldn’t imagine living without a dog. I have experience with dogs of all ages, puppies to senior dogs. I myself have a 9 year old cocker spaniel who thinks she is a human. I understand all pet owners and their pets have different needs and will respect any rules required to give your pet the care they need. I will treat your dog like my own. My family just returned from Costa Rica. My husband and I are both looking for flexible part time work which allow us to still care for our 1.5 year old son. You can also find my husbands separate rover account under maxi S. At the moment our schedule is open and flexible but as we find work our schedules will be changing depending. We have a good sized yard which is not fenced in but in a quiet neighborhood with a cul-de-sac. I don’t usually crate my dog, but if your dogs are crated I am familiar with crate training. I am a flexible person and am able to modify based on your pets needs.
