“Oren and his family and pups treated Kakashi so well! He was spoiled with fun having a playmate all week. I was sent a ton of photos and updates so I never had to worry! I will definitely be using your services again, and maybe even add some additional play date services moving forward knowing how comfortable he was with you! Thank you again so much!”
“Lindsey was super kind and I know my dog, Sundae, had a blast. I would have her watch my dog again!”
“Brendon provided great care for my pup. I can tell she had a fun time playing with a friend which matched her level of energy. I received daily pictures and updates of how Bajka was doing. I appreciated that Thank you Brendon.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was in high school! I used to joke that my second job was pet sitting since I do it so frequently for families in my community! I work 8-5, Monday - Friday. I can take care of the animals in the morning, lunch-time and after work into the evening. I have lots of flexibility. I have a pet-free home and have space for a crate if needed. I am in a great walking area and comfortable space for you pet!
“Emily took great care of our dog, and from pictures and updates it looked like Sunny had the best time and also made friends with her pup! Will definitely bring Sunny back to her in the future!”
“Kirsten did a great job of taking care of Daisy. I appreciate that she gave Daisy some time to get acquainted with her space before introducing Kolt. Overall Kirsten was great - I appreciated her flexibility and will gladly have her watch Daisy again!”
About: Ever since I was a little girl I knew working with animals was what I wanted to do. I started with family members pets, then moved on to friends and friends of friends now I have lots of experience. I grew up on a farm, raising farm animals, participating in 4h, and racing horses. I’ve owned almost every small pet you could have while growing up. I take my care with animals extremely serious and I take pride in the exceptional care I can proved for animals. Pets have a huge soft spot in my heart and there is nothing more I’d rather do in life. I have experience with reptiles as well as administering medications. I have lots of reviews and references and a page on Facebook called “Happy Paws” you can feel free to check out as well! I’m a full time pet sitter, therefore I have open availability. I work a lot of odd hours so early mornings or late nights doesn’t bother me! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly fur baby to keep your pets company. I don’t do crates unless requested by the owner. I’m home with your pet 24/7 so no need to worry about that. I have lots of toys and treats and I always separate during feeding time. I have a separate area your pet can be alone if they are nervous and need a calm environment!
“Caroline is the best! My dog Jasper loved her. Please contact her for your fur baby needs, you will be glad you did.”
“Kaysee and her family treated our girls just like their very own family. She kept me updated with pictures and just letting me know what Lollie and Cooper were doing. Would highly recommend them to watch your fur babies! ?”
“5 stars all the way! Jessica took great care of our big 'ol fur baby. She sent pictures and updates everyday and spoiled our doggo almost as much as we do! 100% WILL be using her again......VERY soon. In fact I will be booking several more dates this year later on today! THIS IS who you should be using to care for your fur baby!”
About: I currently have four very healthy dogs of my own and love them very much. I'm experienced working with aggressive dogs and doggie first aid. I really love all kinds of dogs. Absolutely love working with large dogs. I love taking dogs to the dog park as well! I have experience raising six different puppies. I also have experience with fear biting dogs. I know how to handle minor injuries such as broken nails and stopping bleeding. Overall, dogs are by far the favorite of all the animals I have ever I owned. I am very much an animal person over all though and love animals over all. I provide lots of attention and love for any animals in mt car as well! Please consider if you want your dog to be in excellent care! I am currently available full time to provide any pet care services. I am happy to spend as much time as possible with your pet. When taking care of your pet it is important the dog is comfortable. I like to let a dog warm up to me before petting or approaching.
“Hope was amazing! She came to meet Roscoe right away when I had a last minute need for a sitter. She sent great updates, pictures included. I highly recommend her!”
“Otheus did a great job with my 2 doggos. He kept me updated throughout the day on how they were doing and when we came to pick up the boys the next morning, both of the boys seemed to enjoy being around him. He has a great setup for the dogs, and we plan on using him again in the future.”
“I cannot recommend Emily highly enough. My 15lb anxious terrier/dox mix was so relaxed being picked up that I have a feeling he believed the stay with Emily and her family to be a second home situation. She has a beautiful, safe set up that looks like a doggo resort. It can be years between instances when we leave our pup with anyone and what we tried once for just two days with a nearby kennel was definitely not for him. With Emily he was very very clearly loved and cared for in a way that worked for him. The stay with Emily was incredibly positive for him and he found his people in her home. He was calm as a cucumber and not at all annoyed with us upon reuniting. He has been himself since coming home, no extra stress or out of normal behavior which means his stay was fantastic. He has a small medical issue that can be ignited with stress (which even happens with us when we travel with him) that he did not return with so that is a pretty outward, objective indication of his state of comfort the entire week. Emily has tremendous knowledge and understanding of different dog personalities which I am sure helped his stay be so successful. I only wish that we were closer so we could avail ourselves of Emily's services more often. I would start planning weekends away at the drop of a hat. I am so glad we took a chance with Rover again (after not using the services for quite awhile) and found Emily!”
