“This is my second time booking Jenna and she did just as great a job as the first time. I came home to happy cats and my new sofa hadn't been used as a scratching post!!”

About: I have had a dog my whole life. I grew up with 1 or 2 dogs and always helped my parents care for them. 4 years ago my husband and I got our own dog, a black lab, who we adore! We often watch family dogs, ranging from puppy to 12 years old. My dog gets along well with all dogs and loves to play! The best part of my day is spent with dogs. I work full time in home health therapy so travel around for my job. I build my own schedule and am flexible with work allowing me to take breaks during the day for pet care if needed. After I get home from work, I walk and play with my dog. My house has a large living room with a box of toys and bones. The pets are allowed anywhere in the house and are allowed on beds and furniture in my home. I understand that not all people allow dogs on furniture and I would always respect that, enforcing the rules set by the owners of the pet. My yard is fenced in allowing for dogs to run freely in the backyard.
“Malaya is fantastic with Tank! She caters to his every need and works to find things he likes. She even brought him some treats! I feel very comfortable having Malaya take care of Tank, she does very well with him, especially since he's such a big dog.”
About: I have taken care of animals all of my life including dogs and cats. Although dogs have my heart any animal will always get love from me! I am a teacher during the school year so I have summer's off to be able to work with animals. I own 2 dogs and they are very active and energetic. I am one that has to pet the animals if they are out and about. I will not be able to have animals in my own home because I have a reactive dog, so I have experience with that as well.
“Aubrey did a great job with our three extra large dogs! You can tell she loves animals and was very comfortable being around them. Aubrey showed up on time, followed our directions and communicated clearly with us! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Aubrey!”
“Great communication - wonderful about picture taking! Would have Mary back again any time!! She was even great about getting the boys to go potty in the rain - and that is not an easy task.”
About: I have loved animals since I was small. I have a 12 year old gsp/hound mix who is always looking for pets and love. My favorite animal are raccoons, but my husband says I can't have one as a pet ;) I’m currently a SAHM so my availability is relatively flexible. I am available to drop in for walks, potty breaks, feeding, and as many snuggles as are needed! I have a good understanding of dog behavior and body language as well as a desire to make all pets and owners comfortable and happy!
About: I’ve had a dog all my life, usually raised as a puppy to senior life. I treat them like family and they’re my fur baby, I would do the same for your dog. My dog gets along with other dogs and cats. I am home during the day and night. I enjoy being outside and play ball with my dog and we walk around the yard as my dog chases squirrels. I have Invisible Fence for my dog. He likes to run and play with other dogs and gets along with any dog. I treat any dog like it’s my own and will follow any special instructions, if needed. I have dog tie-outs at the front and on the deck of my home to use if needed. My dog is allowed on my furniture and sleeps with me. I can accommodate whatever sleeping situation your dog needs.
“Devyn was great with my two kittens. I will definitely call her for future visits. My one kitten was very shy, and she always took the time to check on him and try to get him to play.”
“Osha did a great job taking care of my Surlee while I was away on holiday. He followed all my instructions, relieving me of any concern. I will gladly call upon him when needed. Book with confidence!”
“Emily is so kind and sweet with my 2 dachshunds! One of my dachshunds is hard to warm up to, but Emily figured out different tricks to get him use to her. Now, he has adapted quite well, all in the first week! I look forward to always having Emily in my pet's lives. Thank you Rover!”
“Morgan was fantastic! I was out of town and the person I had to watch my dog fell through and she went over and took care of Zoie. She took pictures and let me know everything went great. I will definitely be asking Morgan to help out again.”
About: I’ve had dogs part of my life since I was young. I’ve rescued, fostered, house/dog sat for friends and family for years. They rescue us too. I work full-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to care for your pup(s) for a day or multiple days, whether they are large, medium, or small. My priority is ensuring your dog feels comfortable in their own home while maintaining their routine—feeding, walks, medications, and all the little things that keep them happy and healthy. When caring for your pets, their safety and well-being are my top priorities. I strive to create a trustworthy, secure environment where they feel comfortable and relaxed. I respect their space and routine, ensuring that they are always safe, whether it’s keeping hazards out of reach, maintaining a calm atmosphere, or sticking to familiar routines.
