“Melissa took care of our cat while we were gone on an extended trip. She gave him lots of love and attention and sent us updates and pictures. It was nice knowing someone was looking after our kitty and checking on things in the house as needed.”

“Rachel is the best!!! She took great care of my dog while I was away!! Its hard to leave my dog with someone I don't know, but Rachel took great care of him. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs a great person to watch their dog while they are away!!!!”
“Chelsea dropped in daily to check on our cat while we were out of town. She quickly made friends with our cat and gave her plenty of love! Chelsea provided extensive updates and photos/videos, and was an excellent communicator, putting us at ease. We'll definitely reach out to her next time!”
“Our kitties loved Christine! She was very responsive and offered to help out longer when we extended our vacation. She sent pictures and little recaps every visit. Our kitties can be shy but they warmed up to her quickly. Would love to have her watch them again!”
About: Growing up in the heart of the Midwest, my life has been an extraordinary journey woven with the love and care of countless pets. From the loyal companionship of dogs and the soothing purrs of cats to the curious antics of birds, rabbits, reptiles, and even farm animals, I have raised nearly every pet you can imagine. Nurturing these animals has been more than just a hobby—it's been a calling. I find an unmatched sense of connection and fulfillment in their presence, often feeling closer to animals than to people. Their trust, unique personalities, and unconditional affection inspire me daily. My passion for raising, nurturing, and spending time with animals isn’t just a part of who I am; it’s my life’s purpose. I dream of transforming this deep-seated love into my main source of income, building a career that allows me to dedicate all my time and energy to the creatures that bring me the greatest joy. I have plenty of time for your pets needs, with full availability to watch your animals & cater to their unique needs, with love & care. I am super open to watching your cat fur babies in my home. I have one dog in the home who is acquainted with cats and your cats will be kept separate at all times.
“Bethanie was super responsive, professional and left no room for worry in the caretaking of our five four-legged kids while we attended our daughter's wedding in Michigan! She was also kind enough to help tech-challenged me with the Rover app as well as sending photos during our time away?. Very impressed and grateful!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the care Abby gave our three cats while we were away! She was attentive, communicative, and clearly experienced with multi-cat households. Each update came with photos and sweet notes, which gave us total peace of mind. Our cats warmed up quickly thanks to Abby’s gentle and patient approach. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
About: I've had dogs since I was a little girl and can always be found hanging out with the pets over people at parties! I get along really well with furry friends and I will take really good care of yours! I am self-employed, so I always have availability throughout the week when I'm not traveling. I also have my puppy I would be bringing with me if I am house sitting, so please keep that in mind! She loves other dogs. I can come and play with your animals as often and as long as needed. I will stop in every few hours if need be and will definitely give them all the loves and pets!
“Can’t say enough great things about Caroline. New to the area and feel lucky to have found a responsible occasional caretaker for our shepherd. Caroline was just great to work with. From our initial meet and greet to the actual dog sitting….everything worked like a charm. Hats off to Caroline.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life from an early age. I participated in many dog related 4-H programs growing up and raised a guiding eye puppy as a teen. I have completed obedience training and agility training with my own dogs. I love to meet new dogs and share in the joy and love that they bring to the world. I currently have flexibility in my schedule. I do have to care for my own dog (Nina), but we can work around her schedule and needs. I have a big yard with walking paths in the back that are provide lots of opportunities for sniffing and potty breaks. We will be getting a fence in the near future.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience with diabetic dogs. Dogs that need medicine. Special needs dogs. I love to play with them, walk them and I will treat them as my own. We raise horses so I have a lot of experience where you have to pay close attention so I would notice if something is off with you dog and I would address it immediately. I currently work 6 hours a day so you would not have to worry about your dog. I would walk, brush, and play with your dog. I would take care of your dog as my own at your home. I would make sure they are loved like my own. If they have special needs or need shots, medicine or anything extra you can feel safe with me.
About: From being raised on a farm with many animals including many dogs, to working in the veterinary field for over 6 years, working with animals is my specialty. Your pet becomes family in my care! Being a stay at home dog mom, my schedule is pretty flexible most of the time, let me know what you and your pet(s) needs and I'd be happy to accommodate! Safety is my #1 priority. Just know in my care, your pet will be cared for in the best way possible! Like family! Rest assured.
About: I've taken care of furry critters my whole life. My neighbors, family, and friends always know they can rely on me. Have trained many dogs/puppies the basics and even how to rollover. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for taking special care of your furry friend. Whether that be an extensive diet, strict schedule, or just special care. I always make sure my animals are living their best life and would do the same for yours. I have a big fenced in yard the dogs love to interact with one another in and play. The cats aren't excluded either, mine are living their purrfect life as well.
About: i’ve taken care of puppy’s as well as senior puppy’s of my own as well as working at a doggy date care taking care of all breeds, ages, etc! I currently work full time on weekdays so i would be available after 5 sometimes after 4. Weekends i would be available any time as needed! I have a crate if needed. I also have dogs of my own so your pup will not be bored! I take my dogs on long walk daily and play with them outside everyday!
About: Ive always had pets growing up my whole life, I started watching other people’s pets my last year of high school. I love all animals and I care for them like they are my own. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet behind when going on vacation, work calls, etc. which is why I keep all owners updated and informed on how their fur babies are doing. I currently work a 9-5, M-F. However my boyfriend gets off work at 3. Which is why I have my availability set to the weekends. I am not opposed to weekdays I just want to be up front about my schedule. I live on a half acre but we are out in the country surrounded by open fields. Therefore we have plenty of room to run, walk, and play, I also have two dogs myself to keep yours company and play!
About: I haven’t met a dog I didn’t LOVE! With every unique personality and quirks, dogs have always held a very special place in my heart as companions, hard workers, and adventure buddies. Patience and understanding are a virtue when I introduce myself to a new dog. I am a persistent, positive reinforcement driven owner who loves to have lots of fun! I would absolutely enjoy getting to know your dog and creating a special bond. I offer basic commands training, puppy training, and special needs help (one of my two dogs is blind and deaf), along with administering any medications needed. I own and operate a restaurant Wednesday afternoon through Sunday night, so my schedule is heavily leaning towards Monday and Tuesday all day availability. I am also available in the mornings every day until about 2pm. I’m a routine person, we go potty every morning around 8:30-9am, have breakfast, and go outside again for another potty. Depending on the weather, Koda and I usually go for our walk around 12pm, lasting about 30-45 minutes (unless we are hiking a nature trail). Upon return it’s time for another potty break, then a few times more every 3-4 hours until it’s time for bed. In between those breaks are lots of playing inside and outdoors with toys and training with treats or cooked meats. I have a degree in wildlife biology, and focus on bird watching. This makes me very apt to sudden changes in the environment around me. I am quick to respond, and think critically on a whim to act on which is the best and safest approach to handle a situation. In the event that is beyond my control I would contact the owner (and possibly a veterinarian) immediately and let them know that I would like to take their dog to receive professional attention. Your pet comes first and I always make sure that our walks and training sessions are positive, exciting, and safe. While I seem energetic, I also have a relaxed disposition that is quite necessary when meeting a dog for the first time. They want to know that you are a safe and comfortable human that won’t harm or agitate them. I get down on their level, offer a hand out to encourage them to interact with me first, and then reward with a treat or toy. This is usually effective with repetition, but I understand that every dog is different. Trust is earned and I am persistent!

Mckayla W.
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Mckayla for more than 18 years. Over this time, I have been able to observe her with a variety of animals ranging from dogs to horses. The respect Mckayla has for all animals has been instilled in her from a very young age. She is always eager to interact with the animals around her. Mckayla is familiar and confident with a large variety of dog breeds, sizes, and temperaments. She is incredibly diligent and attentive to her responsibilities. I have had Mckayla look after my own (spoiled) dogs several times and they all love her. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet caregiver.”

She takes him for walks, plays with them, gives medicine and brushes them out if I request it. Overall she has been the best dog sitter I have ever had and I will continue to use her in the future.”
Ashley H.
“Ashley has a passion for animals. And that’s putting it mildly. She worked for me at a nature center for more than a year, where she took great care of our resident salamander, frog, snakes and turtles. She brought guppies from her home aquarium to have on her desk, and they each had a name! She developed a live butterfly exhibit, bringing in monarch caterpillars so that visitors could watch them transform into butterflies and help her release them into the wild. Taking care of cold-blooded animals, maintaining fish and turtle tanks, keeping hungry caterpillars in fresh food requires a lot of thoughtful effort, with no “cuddle factor” as a reward. But Ashley loved it all! Her reward was just being around them, and handling them, and watching them thrive in her care. I can’t recommend Ashley enough as a pet sitter. She has a true heart for animals!”
