I was so happy to have Tricia stay with our dog. She definitely loves animals and gave us peace knowing that our dog was being well taken care of.

McKenna is the best in the Midwest! She was so good with my Samoyed pup. My pup had a blast staying with her! McKenna also was so good with communication sending updates and pics.

Victoria was a pleasure to have watch our girls! She was willing to come meet them before we booked to make sure they were a fit (which was so relieving as someone with reactive dogs) and they took to her SO well. We got lots of pictures and updates, they had plenty of time outside of kennels and outside to play, and looked super happy! Outside of that, the day we left to come back home our flight got cancelled and the flight we rebooked got delayed and Victoria stayed a tad bit later than originally planned (even though our girls would’ve been fine either way) and even went as far as to do a little extra cleaning without ever being asked to make it less stressful when we got home late that night. All in all, if you want someone who is trustworthy, will make your pets happy, and even go the extra steps to make your time away less stressful, she’s your girl! We will 100% be rebooking with Victoria any other time we go out of town and need a pet sitter.

Rebecca was amazing! My dogs liked her the minute she came in the door! It was so reassuring to know Rebecca was caring for our babies while we were away. She also took excellent care of our home. We definitely recommend her for drop in visits or - as in our case - full time care in our home. We like to travel, and will definitely be calling Rebecca for our next trips!! Thank you very much, Rebecca! P.S. Avalon and Sierra miss you! ??

About: Welcome pet parents my name is Leandra Hanner. I bring a fun approach to pet care. I love taking dogs on walks and playing with cats! I’m comfortable with high energy dogs along with gentle care for seniors. When you book with us your pet becomes part of the family. I know leaving your pet can be hard so I try to make the transition as stress free as possible. My approach to pet care is simple patience, love and reliability. I’m happy to offer dog boarding in our home, and cats are in home services only. I’ve worked with many different dogs and happy to accommodate based on their routine and personality . Book with me! Hi I’m Leandra and together with my husband we offer a loving and reliable pet care service through rover. I’m currently a SMC student and work as in home care aid for elderly, who has a soft spot for animals. We bring a compassionate and attentive approach to every pet we look after. My husband doesn’t work weekends at all and together we’re pretty much always available to ensure your furry friend feels at home and gets the attention they deserve. We’re excited to welcome your pet into our home and treat them like family. Welcome! My name is Leandra and Mark ,dedicated animal lovers providing a safe welcoming home for your dog! I live in a quiet solo apartment ( no shared walls). With plenty of room for dogs to roam and feel cozy and secure. I understand that dogs are family and it’s my top priority to maintain their routine and comfort. We will treat them like our own! Leash safety- We will bring every dog out on a leash during outings for safety. Supervision- Your dog will never be left unsupervised with my 3 dog friendly cats unless I'm 100% confident they’re comfortable together.

Trust- I am happy to provide frequent updates and photo updates to give you peace of mind while you are away. Environment- We keep our apartment clean and tidy and pet friendly. We always have water out and will make sure the cat’s food is up high so the dog can’t eat it. Your dog will get tons of attention and affection while staying with us along with a stress free environment and home like setting. Happy to provide walks and lots of playtime.

About: Hello! I’m Valeria (you can call me Val) and I am a part time pet sitter. I currently work full time remotely. I enjoy running/walking at the park so having a partner tag along won’t be a problem. I am willing to provide any extra care your dog may need. This includes providing snacks, preparing specific meals, or even spending extra time outside. I have experience handling dogs, cats, birds, small animals and even chickens! I don’t have experience with senior dogs or giving injections/oral medication but I am willing to learn and will provide the best service for your babies needs. Feel free to message me for your specific needs or if you have any questions. Thanks! I usually let clients know my availability and advice on how I will structure my schedule to best accommodate their pets needs. During weekdays my availability is flexible because I work from home. I like to tour homes to be aware of exits/entrances, restricted areas (if there are any), and exchange contact info in case of an emergency.

Brenay did a great job with our 3 dogs. They can be a handful but she did great with them. Excellent communication and house was clean when we came back home. Would recommend Brenay and will have her stay again when we leave for the weekend.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since my sophomore year in high school! I’ve never had an issue with a pet and love being able to help :) I’m currently on my summer break so I would like my availability to be Monday- Friday and I can make exceptions on weekends for emergencies :) I have a fenced in yard but prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of your own home as I think that makes meeting and interacting with your pet much easier and comfortable!

We are so grateful to Alyssa for taking such good care of Sophie. We left her for the 1st time in 6 years, and Alyssa took wonderful care of her and kept us at ease every day with updates and pictures. Sophie isn't easy, and she is like our child, so trust me when I say that you can trust Alyssa with your fur baby. We will not hesitate to call Alyssa when we go anywhere again, and now we have the peace of mind to make future plans!
