About: I have 30 years of dog experience and will love your dog like my own. There is no dog or task too big or too small. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and grew up with 100+ pound dogs in our home and on our furniture. Please let me know how I can help! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time for your pups! My schedule is flexible, and I’m open to any hours: days, nights, weekends. I have a quarter acre fenced in yard for your pups to feel the wind in their fur! My puggle Oscar loves to play with other dogs.

About: Grew up with several dogs and cats, I don’t know a world without these pets! I’m a current cat mom to 3 but love getting all the pets from our friends and families doggies! I work in office a day and a half a week so I have a relatively flexible schedule. We have a baby under 1 so we don’t have too many busy weekends away! I have great attention to detail and will follow your instructions for your fur baby(ies) to a T! I always want the best care for mine while I am away, so you can expect nothing less in the care I provide for yours!

About: My boyfriend and I have always had animals in our lives. Growing up he lived on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, pigs etc. and I have had dogs and cats my whole life. We currently have 2 beautiful Great Danes, a bunch of rabbits, outside kitties, and a chinchilla! Our dogs love people, small animals, and would love a bigger dog to run around with. We would love to cuddle with your fur babies, go for walks, or just play in the fenced yard! We currently work 4 days a week leaving Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday to watch and care for your animals. My boyfriend is an early riser and I’m a night owl, so you’re pet will have plenty of time to get the care they need. We have a 2 story house with lots of room for them to lay around and have their own space if needed. We also have a large backyard that is fenced off already for our dogs.

About: Sierra has over 20 years of pet care experience between having a range of personal animals and then going into an animal career. Sierra worked as a kennel and vet assistant for a shelter for 3 years before grooming for 9 years. She still is grooming from home. Sierra is experienced in animal CPR and first aid. Very experienced with administering medications and working with nursing animals up to senior special needs animals. Sierra has had chinchillas, rabbits, birds, bearded dragons, snakes but of course dogs and cats as well. Lucas is an avid animal lover. His animal experience comes from his own personal animals as well as he has been pet sitting for a few years. He is very active and works their energy out through long walks, hiking, and playing with toys. Lucas has had bearded dragons, snakes, dogs and cats as personal animals and loved every second of it! We believe having someone do it from Rover provides a more personalized quality of care. They recieve a lot more attention and affection through private sitters than they do in large facilities. We work together so that we can accommodate everyone's wishes. We have super high expectations of care for our animals and we like to give those same standards to those we do pet care for. We are an all around animal fanatic. We love them all furry, fuzzy, hairy, feathery, and scaley. We believe when Pet parents are on vacation their pets should be too. We fully believe in spoiling and going above and beyond. We love taking dogs to the dog park and walking in all different parts of town. We have a cat room set up in our house with tons of toys and furniture to fully satisfy their needs. We believe in animals having a lot of love and affection, especially when they are already experiencing distance from their favorite people. Animals are not only something we are very passionate about but what we have revolved our lives around. Lucas is home all day and would be available to do 24 hour care. Sierra grooms Monday through Friday 8am until 12pm-1pm. If your pet care ends on the weekend and you want your pet to be groomed, arrangements can be made. I keep all dogs leashed when outside to guarantee their safety. I recently got a fenced in dog run that I monitor dogs in so they can be off leash. I never leave pets unattended. I can kennel dogs to keep separate if needed. I am also trained in animal first aid.

About: Friends and neighbors alike have entrusted their beloved pets to my care since I was a little girl. From little to large, and brief check in to long stay... I have an array of experience caring for pets. I'm a stay at home mom to two young boys (who would likely tag along as needed). We enjoy our family time, but we don't often leave town. I work every other weekend as well. I am sure to love on your animals, giving them lots of pets and talk with them. I will make sure they receive the food and water they need, and get time outside as needed. I also am sure to get them safely back in their kennel when they are left on their own.

I also have two cats and two bunnies. I have completed several obedience classes over the years and have a lot of experience at the local dog parks.

About: Hi! My name is Amanda. I have worked in doggie daycare, worked as a bather and in the sales department! At work I got to experience different breeds, temperaments and personalities! My favorite part of my job is building strong relationships with the owners and their dogs! I also have experience dropping in homes while their owners are at work, school or out of town. When I do drop ins I have taken them on walks, picked up after them and fed them. I absolutely love working with all animals!

About: I've been taking care of dogs of friends and neighbors for years, including my sister and roommate's dog for 5 years. Additionally, I have been working in a hospital caring for patients for a year. I have a passion for caring for all other beings, and I have a soft spot in my heart for dogs. I'm currently taking the summer off before going back to school, so I will have endless time to spend with your pups! I am looking forward to doing some rewarding work caring for animals during this time off. I am willing to travel to your home in order to keep your babies in the comfort of their own place. I am also willing to spend long periods of time walking, playing, and just hanging out with your dog. I am very flexible for whatever their needs may be!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Starting at a young age, I was responsible for feeding, walking, and cleaning up after our family dogs. By the time I was 15, I began caring for a neighbor’s dog whenever they were out of town, building early experience in pet sitting and responsibility. Today, I’m 24 with dogs of my own, including one with medical needs, so I’m familiar with administering medication and maintaining a consistent care routine. In the summer of 2024, I even raised a litter of puppies, which deepened my understanding of early puppy development and the importance of socialization. From bathing and grooming to staying active with my pack, caring for dogs is a daily part of my life and something I’m deeply passionate about. Although I work full time during the week, my evenings are dedicated to spending quality time with my dogs. We enjoy walking, playing, and relaxing together. I’m also off on weekends, which gives me the perfect opportunity to help others who may be busy or working by making sure their dogs get the exercise and attention they need. I’m happy to offer weekend availability and evening flexibility to support both pets and their owners. I live on a spacious 2 acre property with a securely fenced in section of the yard dedicated to the dogs. The backyard is enclosed with three gates, each equipped with locks to ensure safety and prevent any clever pups from nudging them open. This setup provides a safe, open space for dogs to play, explore, and relax while giving owners peace of mind.

About: Being in the military not only have I had special training with bigger dogs but also having close relatives with ESA (emotional support animals) I have always been very close and caring of animals as they are the most pure hearted things on the planet Currently all days are available and am willing to watch on weekends as well animals are the key to the soul and I’m excited they are apart of our lives I live not to far from a dog park and have many toys and space for animals I have a caring girlfriend as well who is very supportive of animals

About: My family owns a professional business with the breeding and whelping of dogs. For the past 6 years, I have undertaken the socialization and training of puppies, readying them for their forever homes. I have also been given the opportunity to increase their quality of life in taking care of their environments and daily meals. Another area of experience is with shelter dogs. I have experience with the socialization and training of shelter dogs, as well as the quality of life care given to the abused and neglected pets that were brought in. I currently work from home, so have an incredibly flexible schedule and my goal is to always make sure your pet has the most enjoyable time while it’s family is away. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but am also fully willing to spend time loving on them in the space of their own home. I always maintain pets on a leash outside the confines of the home or fenced in yard. I believe safety is a priority and try my best to always maintain that goal.

About: I grew up with animals (dogs and cats) my whole life. I have an 1 year old boxer mix who weights about 60 pounds and is full of energy. I’m experienced with walking high energy dogs who are easily distracted and reactive. I’m currently working full time as a registered nurse where I work three 12 hour shifts a week. This would be a perfect opportunity for my spare time to get outside, take your dog for a walk, have play dates, etc. I will ensure your dog is safe no matter what the activity. I understand the importance of wanting your pet in good hands while you are away!

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs as long as I can remember. I want to see and have dogs live their best life. While schedules are different and vary from family to family, I understand it’s hard at times to give dogs the fun activity of a walk or one-on-one time. I know it’s merely impossible to give dogs the ability to live their lives to their fullest potential but I want to help try. Walking dogs is the bare minimum of what I can do. Dogs don’t live very long but humans do, so an hour outside or walking is the least I can do. I have so much time on the weekdays, specially. I currently have a job where I only work on Sundays. Besides that, I’m free and pretty flexible with my schedule. Any rules and requests will be followed as needed. Let me know the ropes and I’ll be able to do anything I can in the way that you would like!

Susan N.
“Susie dogsat/house sat my 3 dogs for a week and got way more than she bargained for! My youngest Golden ate a pair of socks the day before we left on vacation and ended up having emergency surgery the day that we left. Susie coordinated with my mom to have Teddy picked up from surgery and transported to the house, and from there she took care of everything! Susie and her daughter took care of Teddy after surgery as if he was her own! She slept on the couch with him at night since he couldn't go upstairs, took him out on a leash several times a day, gave him his medications at 2 a.m., fed him a special diet, kenneled him, etc., all while managing my other two big dogs. She did a fantastic job and had no qualms about taking care of Teddy. All three of my boys LOVED her and had a great time! She sent pics showing how happy they were, she took the two healthy ones for a walk, and swam with them in the pool. She even picked up pooper-scooped the yard! I would recommend her in a heartbeat and plan to use her services again later this month!”
