About: I’ve dog sat for family members on multiple occasions. The dogs seen in my photographs are family dogs that have stayed in my home. I will adhere to the preference of pet owners on if the pets can interact with other pets. I work full-time as a remote employee for Royal Canin. I’m actively provided breaks, lunches, and planned time that I could take out and feed pets. While my residence is unfenced, the neighborhood is very safe within a small town. The pets will be free to move about inside of the home and I can accommodate if they need to be on a leash even in the backyard.

About: I've had 2 shih tzus (who recently both passed away at almost 16 years old), so I love small dogs (and any and all sweet pups!) I also have a calico cat, who is very sweet. Any pet who stays with us should be cat-tolerant, and also they should be OK with kids. I also have 2 kids (a 7 year old and toddler) who love animals. Please, no aggressive animals, as we do not have experience. House trained pets, please. I work from home, and I am almost always home, except for errands, to take my kids to extra circular classes. We are never out of the house for more than a few hours at a time. I have a fenced backyard, but there are steps to go down it. Pets can roam freely at the house. We can also crate your pet if they are more comfortable sleeping in the crate. But they are free to jump on couches, beds, and furniture. We have baby gates to keep pets out of unsafe areas.

“We can’t say enough good things about Leslie! She is our go-to dog sitter. We get lots of pix and texts about our fur baby, and she always goes the extra mile. Whether it’s making sure the back steps are protected so your dog doesn’t slip, or buying an extra can of pumpkin because you didn’t send enough, Leslie will make sure your dog is cared for in the same way she cares for her own dog.”

“Maya was great. She is definitely experienced with dogs and handled our crazy pup very well. She sent us a bunch of photos of our pup while we were on vacation. This was our first time using a dog a sitter and she did everything she could to help us feel at ease through the process.”

“Dustin and Maggie are terrific! They are so nice and treated our pup, Chico, like their own. We got lots of pictures and Chico had a great time! Highly recommend! Chico is already looking forward to his next visit.”


“Sarah took great care of our golden retriever, Phoenix, while we took a brief vacation. He fit in well with her dog, and we got many great pictures from Sarah to update us while we were away. We were super comfortable with our dog's stay even though we had never left him with anyone before. I heartily recommend Sarah for you and your dog.”

“Such an amazing dog sitter! Leah helped watch Obie for the week we were out of town and helped him whether a snow storm while communicating with us the whole time. Sent pictures and updates regularly and very responsive to messages. Thank you so much and will definitely ask her to help with Obie if we need to go out of town again!”

I really appreciated how responsive, reliable, and punctual they were. Overall, they made the entire experience incredibly easy and stress-free. I would definitely recommend them!”

About: Animal lover with hands-on experience raising wildlife from a young age and a professional background as a veterinary technician. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all personalities, ages, and medical needs. What sets me apart is the calm, patient, and attentive care I provide — I treat every pet like family and focus on making them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. Pet care naturally fits into my daily life as I’m currently home all day with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’ve raised wildlife from a young age and also have a background as a veterinary technician, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. My home provides a safe, calm, and loving atmosphere where pets are treated like family. I also currently volunteer at the humane society with my daughter, which reflects how important animal care and compassion are in our everyday lives. I have a fully fenced backyard, plenty of dog toys and treats, and provide a safe, loving environment for pets. We currently do two walks a day with our pup, River, so daily exercise and attention are already part of our routine. We also have two dog-friendly cats that are comfortable around other animals.
“This was my first time using Barbara and company and they took great care of my THREE dogs! I was frequently updated with pictures, and both drop-off and pick-up went very smoothly. They prepped their house for my dogs' arrival and had them packed up & ready to go at pick-up.”

“Christine and David were wonderful! They were super flexible with drop off/pick up and sent me pics and updates throughout the day. And Leo loved their huge backyard! Will definitely use again and again!”

“Timothy is an excellent Rover sitter! He boarded our dog at his house for 9 nights. I like that he had us do a meet and greet first to ensure our dog would be a good fit. This was our first time using a sitter and I was nervous at first, but Timothy had great communication and I really appreciated the regular updates and great pictures. Our dog did well socializing and playing with the other dogs there. We will definitely be booking with Timothy again!”


“I have a 10-year-old beagle (Maggie) and she is always stayed with family in the past when I went out of town. This past weekend was our wedding and so family is on able to watch the dog. We first had a visit early in the week with Ruthie and she immediately called any concerns I had with leaving my dog with her. That says a lot :-) Ruthie sent us photos of Maggie multiple times during the weekend to keep us updated on how she was doing and it meant a lot to my wife and I to know Maggie was in good hands on our big day. Ruthie is in a great location with a park nearby as well as a nice neighborhood to walk in and Maggie truly enjoyed her stay. I would highly recommend Ruthie to you if you were looking at this post and wondering who you can trust with your puppy!”

Kayla accepted my boarding request last minute and took excellent care of my pup. She listened to my spiel about my pup’s care, and asked great clarifying questions that let me know she was experienced and has a strong attention to detail. I felt confident that her and her family gave my pup plenty of love during her stay. Will happily book again.

Jenay was great and I can tell her and her kids love all the pups that come to their house. My golden retriever ran right into her house when I dropped him off and the daily pics Jenay sent me showed just how much fun he had. It was so lovely to not have to worry about my pup and if he was safe and happy! Will definitely be back next time we are out of town. Highly recommend! She is extremely sweet and responds very quickly which I think all pet parents can appreciate! Thanks again Jenay

Stephanie W was absolutely amazing with our dog, HoneyBun. She treated her like a princess from the moment she arrived and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. HoneyBun was well cared for, taken on walks, and Stephanie kept us updated with pictures, videos, and messages throughout her stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing HoneyBun was in such loving and reliable hands. We could tell she was happy, comfortable, and cared for like family. I highly recommend Stephanie W to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond.
