“I HIGHLY recommend TeAsia for your fur baby. Not only did she care for our pets, she cared for our home and went over and beyond for me personally when I forgot something important. My pets got walks and attention, even my anti social ones. We will definitely be rebooking!”


“Sara was absolutely amazing! She communicated well and kept me updated, she took great care of our home and doggos, and I am very much looking forward to having her come again! A++ human with a great energy and love for animals!”


About: I am a retired RVT aka animal nurse. I worked at MU for 6 years in their ICU/ECC department and their shelter medicine department. I also have grown up on a farm with many farm animals. So I can provide care for inside and outside animals. I have worked in veterinary clinics since I was 15 years old. I’ve ridden horses for most of life as well. I am well versed in medications and health issues. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out! I am available at anytime to provide love, support, and care to all your furry friends. If you have medications that need to be on a schedule just let me know! I will be happy to keep you informed during my stay to ease your worries. I can provide care based off of your needs and your animal needs. If you have a senior that needs extra support and medications, I know all about the worries related to that. I have many years of experience with working with all ages. I have taken fear training over the years. I work with a German Shepherd Rescue for many years. That has allowed me to learn about hyperactive dogs who need a lot of mental stimulation. I am willing to help give medications even if you are home and need help! Just let me know!

“First time Rover user & I found the perfect person for my dogs. Marissa is so sweet and did a fantastic job taking care of my 10 year old boy, and my very scheduled 13 year old diabetic girl. Marissa sent me pictures at 6am and 6pm on the dot showing me that she gave my Mia girl her insulin right on schedule. Traveling with diabetic dog at home is hard, and she was able to put me at ease. I will continue to use her for any and all future trips that allow!”


“Brandy was absolutely wonderful! First time we’ve ever used in-home dog sitting, and then it was overnight as well. She did everything we expected and more. She took good care of our sassy, Enzo, and moose. It was refreshing to be way, but great to get back home to happy puppies and a happy mama. We will definitely be asking her back to watch sassy and Enzo. If you need someone to watch your pets pick Brandi she’s the best there is.”


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s never known life without a furry best friend by my side. I’ve cared for pups of every size from tiny Pomeranians you can carry in one arm to giant Great Danes that think they’re lap dogs! I grew up on a farm surrounded by six dogs of all different breeds, so I know how to handle big packs, big energy, and big personalities. Dogs are truly my happy place. Whether your pup is a playful ball of zoomies, a gentle giant, or a sweet cuddle buddy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. Long walks, belly rubs, playtime in the yard, or just lots of cozy snuggles I do it all, and I do it with a smile! 🐾 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday: Available after 4 PM 🐾 Wednesday & Sunday: Fully available all day! 🐾 Flexible for early mornings, evenings, and weekends just ask! I work part-time from 8 AM to 4 PM on weekdays (except Wednesday), but I’m happy to work around your schedule to give your pets the love and care they need. Ensuring the safety and well-being of your pets is my utmost priority. While I do not provide boarding services at my residence, I am fully committed to delivering attentive and professional care within your home. Whether through dog walking, pet visits, or check-ins, I adhere strictly to your instructions and maintain a calm, secure environment to ensure your pets feel comfortable and cared for in your absence. You can have full confidence that your beloved animals will be treated with the highest level of respect and dedication.

“I've already rebooked with Ruth. We did a meet and greet with the pups since I have one that is very skiddish and is hesitant with strangers and by the end of the visit my pup would sit on the couch with Ruth! I felt very good knowing my pups were safe and being looked after while I was gone. She was phenomenal with the timing of my travels and wonderfully respectful of my home. I am beyond excited to have a reliable dog sitter, highly recommend!”


“Kimberly was so good with our little cat! She was so kind and took great care of our home and fur baby! She even gave our cat who doesn’t isn’t good with medication her meds twice a day and sent us pics of our baby while we were on vacation! Will absolutely be booking with her again!”


About: With many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments from Great Danes to Boarder Collies. I try to provide reliable and compassionate care tailored to each pets needs. From daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra cuddles while your away. I have had puppies and older dogs, so I’m familiar with both and there different needs. I’m an educator that’s off for the summer, so I’m very open and flexible to help you with your pets! I’m available for long or short visits. I can drop in for multiple visits a day or multiple a week, really whatever you need. I am happy to take dogs on walks, or let them out in your yard to run around. I will hang out with them and ensure that get all there duties done and clean up after them if needed. If food or medication is needed I will also be happy to do that. I’m also more than happy to cuddle or play with them to get there zoomies out.

About: I have done checkins, dog sitting, and walks for my neighbors, families, and friends dogs. I have watched and worked with dogs of all sizes. I’ve spent afternoons caring for dogs. I’m adequate at cleaning up any messes dogs may make. I am good for afternoon to evening visits. I work until 4 pm on the week days. I’m free all day on my weekends of Saturday and Sunday. I’m very attentive to how dogs react to me. If they are on the timid side, I try to let them warm up to me. If they are on the playful more energetic side then I will be much more playful. I give the energy and attention to what the dog will need from me.

“Cathryn was awesome! She took care of our fur babies like if they were her own. We have some needy fur babies with a few medical issues, but she made sure that they took their medication and were cared for!! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay, sent tons of pictures and she took care of our home. We had some trouble with our return flights and she was very flexible and willing to stay an extra night to ensure that our pups were taken care of. We would totally recommend her and we are definitely booking her again!”


“Skylar took great care of our 10yo dog Charlie, was very respectful of our home, and even cleaned up a bit so that everything was in order/looked nice upon our return. Skylar was quick to communicate with us and I felt that she was a trustworthy sitter. I would/will hire Skylar again to care for my four legged baby!”


About: I like to take care of dogs. I take care of my cousins dogs I only really prefer to take care of dogs. Labrado retrieves I can let dogs out before work. After work and I can stay all night. I can house sit and dog sit on weekends. Too. I trust my cousins gps collars and their fence. I prefer to watch dogs at your home not mine but will do whatever is better

About: As a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I’ve personally raised and cared for animals of all ages, from rambunctious puppies and curious kittens to calm and loving senior pets and I’ve seen several of my own pets through their full life spans. This has given me deep experience in providing age-appropriate care, whether that means extra playtime and training for younger pets or gentle attention and medication support for seniors. I’m comfortable and experienced with most dog and cat breeds, from small lap dogs to large, energetic pups, and from independent cats to cuddly companions. I know that every animal has a unique personality and needs, and I take pride in getting to know each one individually to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. One of the biggest advantages I offer is that I work from home full time. That means your pet will never be left alone for long periods and will get consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a calm environment, lots of affection, structured routine, or just someone to hang out with, I’m here to provide that kind of care in a homey, stress-free setting. I genuinely treat every animal I care for like family, and that means tons of love, playtime, cuddles, and comfort while you're away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I work from home full-time, my schedule is very flexible, and I’m home throughout the day to provide consistent care and companionship. I build my day around the pets I’m caring for, whether that means morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or cuddle breaks in between work tasks. I love having animals around; they bring joy, routine, and energy to my day. I have a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time, fresh air, and play. My home is pet-friendly and full of love my kids adore animals and enjoy helping care for them, offering even more companionship for your pet while they’re here. We also have a sweet 3-year-old dog named Storm, who’s been around both dogs and cats her whole life. She’s laid-back, friendly, and used to having furry friends around. Because I don’t have to commute or leave the house for long periods, I’m able to give pets my full attention and adjust to their individual needs, including potty breaks, medications, or just some quiet time if they’re more relaxed. On weekends, I enjoy taking dogs on longer walks or play sessions in the yard or at nearby pet-friendly parks (with your permission, of course). Caring for pets isn’t just something I squeeze into my schedule, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. When pets stay in my home, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would at home. I start by learning about their routine, habits, and preferences so I can maintain consistency with feeding, potty breaks, sleep, and play. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to run in the yard or prefers to nap in a quiet corner, I adjust my care to meet their individual needs. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. Inside, pets have free roam of the main living areas, unless you prefer otherwise. I offer plenty of one-on-one attention, including playtime, snuggles, and positive reinforcement. For pets that need a crate, I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep their routine consistent. I work from home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. I also have a friendly dog named Storm who’s used to being around both dogs and cats. Cleanliness, safety, and affection are my top priorities. I make sure pets always have access to clean water, follow any dietary or medical needs, and create a calm, welcoming environment where they can feel right at home.

“Betty was absolutely fabulous with our dog Lexi. From our initial meet and greet, Betty made both Lexi and I at ease and comfortable with our first pet sitting experience. We will definitely use her again! She is just wonderful!”


“Britney was a great house sitter for our two dogs and two cats. They loved her! She took great care of our pets and our home, and sent lots of pictures with updates. Great communication overall. Thank you, Britney!”

About: Dogs are the key to my heart…I would own my own animal rescue in a heartbeat if I could. I’ve been a pet owner for over 10 years and have been pet sitting for other dogs for about 15 years. Any dog I’ve sat for I treat them as if they were my own and make sure they get the best care possible. I currently work from home full time so I’m able to spend a lot of quality time with your fur baby and provide the care they need and deserve. I have two small children who absolutely love dogs and treat our two dogs (Penny and Cali) as if they are their own siblings. Penny and Cali LOVE to play with other fur friends and would love to meet your furbaby. While we don’t have a fenced in yard, we live on 4 acres and have a large open yard that our dogs love to run around on. I can easily take out your dog(s) on a leash if you aren’t comfortable with our open yard and can even take them on a walk so they get their daily exercise.

“Billie has watched our house and dogs on multiple occasions and has always been very reliable and knowledgeable and loving towards the dogs.
