“Becky is the absolute best. She took care of my dog 100% and was very helpful and understanding. She was very responsive after the walks and how Buster did on the walks. I will use her again.”


About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid and have over 6 years of professional experience. I’ve worked with all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and even farm animals. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and needs, including seniors, puppies, special needs animals, and working breeds. I also know pet first aid and have experience with basic training, so I’m confident handling a variety of situations. I am a stay at home mom, and can fit into whatever your schedule needs. I am available for boarding and daycare, and mornings during weekdays for drop-ins and dog walking. I have two friendly dogs. I like to keep pets on a familiar routine with feeding time, play time, and walks, while in my care. Everyone gets the attention they deserve, and I am always at home. I will keep you updated with messages and pictures.

About: My fur babies are my everything. My love for animals started at home with my parents. We would feed the stray cats by our house and would find them homes. I have taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, birds, ect my entire life. My husband, my kids (ages 15 and 18), and myself all share a passion for animals. We foster dogs currently (typically German Shepherd mixes) and are excited to start on an adventure of quails, goats and chickens since moving. When your dogs/ cats are in our care they are treated as our own. Walks, snuggles, treats, and one-on-one care. *Our oldest girl Lexi suffered a blown disc in 10/2022. She was paralyzed from middle of her back down. Through meds, range of motion, massage, and lots of TLC she is up and moving but a bit wonky 🤪. We are fully prepared to care for elderly or disabled puppers. Our family just moved to Deerbrook and are still getting ourselves established. Currently I have open availability. *As we do foster dogs there may be times I am unavailable Saftey is always top priority. Leashes will be used when outside at all times unless owners prefer otherwise. I will always send photos and updates throughout the stay to ensure you feel confident in our arrangement.

About: My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I have had dogs in my family since I was 10. I have a flexible schedule and work part-time, so I can work with many other time requests and schedules. I can care for your pet on weekends also. I have a very large yard for your dog to play in and I have 2 friendly dogs to keep them company. I can crate your pet also if needed.

About: My entire life I have been raised with lots of animals and was always so excited to play with the pups. I have always had a thought about wanting to become a dog trainer and when I bought my first dog that was my own it showed me that I really am interested in an animal focused career! I currently do not work, so I fortunately have all the free time to spend time and play with these sweet and amazing fur babies! I will always follow the clients wishes and preferred schedule. I know how scary it can be leaving your animal with someone else and not being able to be there:(

About: I have a large fenced yard for playing outside. I can handle large and small dogs as well as puppies. I have experience with somewhat difficult pups and have loads of patience. I am also available for larger animal care such as horses, goats, sheep, etc. please reach out with questions and rates. I have very open availability, and I am flexible on how much notice I'll need. I am available early mornings, afternoons, as well as evenings. I have a large fenced yard for playing outside and my dog's love making new friends. I also have a large crate of you prefer your pup be kept separate or I can crate my pups to keep them separate. I can also come check on your critters at your home whenever needed.

“This was my first time using Rover and Solia made it a great experience. I had to leave town last minute and she was quick to respond and so kind throughout the process. She took such good care of Blueberry, gave her a walk, fresh water, treats, and made sure she was settled before leaving. The update and photos were super thoughtful and gave me real peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking again.”


About: Hi! My name is Quinn. Do you want a fun, experienced, and responsible dog sitter? than you've come to the right place! I am an 18 year old girl who is passionate about animals, dogs specifically! The dogs go on 6 or 7 walks every day around our beautiful neighborhood, and we love taking them down the bike paths and to a dog park! The dogs get to have exciting fun filled days of playing and going on walks. we own three other dogs, Millie, Kaia, and Greta that will love your furry friends. They are full of energy, and will wear your dogs out by running around the yard at full speed! Your dogs will love to play outside on our 20 acres of land. The dogs are always with me when we (my family or I) are outside. We go on long walks, as in over an hour! When we aren't walking with your dog, we will be playing in our yard or the playing inside the house. The dogs are part of our family and we treat them as our own. My family has owned dogs for 30+ years and I have had the responsibility of taking care of our dogs for 8+ years. Please provide the following for your friends before you leave them with us for their vacation: A crate. We understand that your dogs will need some time to themselves, so we always crate inside at night. This way you can sleep soundly knowing your dogs are safe, and they won't get in trouble while we're asleep. Your dog will feel more comfortable in his own crate. You can also bring a small blanket, bed or maybe one of your shirts that we can put in their crate for her/him. Food. Please provide an adequate amount of food that your dog normally eats. Please bring the kind of food your dog is used to eating, and let us know how much and how often your pupper eats. Toys, treats, a bed, leash, collar, harness etc. We can provide some of these things if you don't have them but if you have them, please bring it. Your happy dog, and peace of mind knowing that your dog might just be having a better vacation than you! Pet care fits naturally into my day-to-day life because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently don’t have a full-time job, which means I’m extremely flexible and available—perfect for dogs who need extra attention, consistency, or a customized schedule. I’m organized and responsible, so I can easily balance feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs with the rest of my day. Taking care of pets adds something meaningful to my routine, and I truly enjoy every moment I spend with them. It’s not just a task, it’s something I take pride in. When dog sitting, I make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home. I stick closely to their regular routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions you provide. I give them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise to keep them happy and healthy while you’re away. I also monitor their behavior and well-being, and I’m quick to notice if anything seems off. Whether it’s giving belly rubs, tossing a favorite toy, or just keeping them company, I treat every dog like they’re my own.

About: Hi there! I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, and working with pets truly brings me joy. Whether you have a playful pup, a cuddly kitty, or a senior pet with special needs—I’m here to provide dependable, loving care tailored to their needs. In addition to working at a humane society—where I walked, groomed, medicated, and supported dogs of all breeds—I’ve also been a trusted, independent pet sitter for many years. I’ve cared for pets in all kinds of situations and homes, giving me well-rounded experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My schedule is flexible, so I’m happy to work around what’s best for you and your pet. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets at once (up to five at a time), and I have experience with: Special diets and medication routines Frequent potty breaks or incontinence care Basic training like potty training and simple commands Shy or anxious cats who need extra patience and gentleness Whether it's a drop-in visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I treat every pet like family. Thank you for considering me to care for your furry loved ones—I’d love to meet them soon! I have open availability and a flexible schedule to accommodate you and your pet’s needs—whether that’s drop-ins, pick-ups/drop-offs, walks, overnight care, or medication routines. I’m committed to following your pet’s usual routine and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and safe at all times. I care for your pets as if they were my own—always with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. Whether I’m in your home or caring for them in mine, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I follow your instructions closely to make sure both you and your pet feel secure, respected, and at ease throughout our time together.

About: I grew up in a house with up to 14 trained working dogs at a time. I’ve spent years working with and developing the skills needed for them to succeed at trained tasks. I currently have an obedience trained Catahoula Leopard Cur whom I’ve been working with since puppyhood. I’ve boarded and have done drop in pet sitting since age ten. I’ve bred and trained both domestic and working dogs, and have an advanced understanding of dog body language and behavior signs to help the dog communicate. I’ve had years of experience with many different breeds of dogs from terriers, hounds, bulldogs, mastiffs, golden retrievers, doodles, and many more. I’m currently working part time jobs with flexible hours, allowing me to arrange my schedule in a way that suits your needs. A typical day includes people being home almost 24/7, typically no more than 4 hours go by with my dog being alone. I am able to do drop ins when needed, and can work around most requests. I have an unfenced 2.5 acre yard attached to a 80 acre farm. My dogs are allowed to run freely with supervision in the yard. No current barn animals present besides cats and the two indoor dogs. I am also able to provide a small enclosed area to play, with prior notice, and can use different haltering methods to ensure your furry friend will remain in a safe controlled area. In your home I am able to provide any life style you give your dog, whether that be free roaming or supervised on-leash outside time, or any other way to keep your pet safe. I’m always open to different ways to care for dogs because I understand each dog has different needs.

About: Throughout my life, I have been surrounded by a variety of pets, and my love for animals has only deepened with each experience. My deep love for pets, combined with my caregiving experience, allows me to approach each animal with the attention and care they need. I am dedicated to ensuring that their health and happiness are prioritized, treating them with the same love and respect as I would my own beloved dog, Buster. I look forward to the opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of pets and their owners! I’m currently getting my Master degree all of my classes are online which allows for my schedule to be flexible. I also caretaker for a girl with Down syndrome which has profoundly shaped my understanding of compassion, patience, and responsibility. This experience has taught me to approach every living being with empathy and respect, ensuring that their needs are always prioritized this is a vital skill in all levels of care taking whether it’s a person or a beloved pet. My own dog also feels like a person sometimes I’d do anything for him! In terms of safety and my home environment, I have an open yard where pets can play and explore freely in a secure setting. My home features two bedrooms, one of which can be designated as a quiet space for pets needing rest or can accommodate their crates if necessary. I also have a medium portable kennel that can be utilized for added comfort and security. My dog is friendly and well-socialized, but I believe in the importance of a proper introduction, so I would like to arrange a meet-and-greet before allowing any animal to stay over. Additionally, I'm more than happy to care for pets in their own homes, ensuring that they receive familiar and loving attention. Your pet's welfare is my top priority, and I am committed to providing a safe and loving environment tailored to their needs.

About: I’ve never not had a pet. I currently have 1 dog and 1 cat as well as care for my brother’s St. Bernard and Great Pyrenees. My grandpups are a Blue Healer and a Black Lab. Animals and I seem to connect right away. In the Fall of 2023 I left the corporate world of office work to pursue enjoying life more and less stress. Early retirement with a side gig…my children are grown and my schedule is open now to help others. I’m very comfortable with animals of all sizes and have experience administering meds. I’m very open to following whatever schedule or routine you have your animals on. If they just need someone to come play or walk them to expend their energy, that’s perfect also.
