“Lindsey has house sat for our dog and cat twice now. We always return to happy pets. :) She is responsible, courteous, and communicative. Usually our dog Penny takes several minutes to calm down when meeting someone new. When Penny met Lindsey, she calmed down almost immediately because of Lindsey's demeanor and experience with dog training. I would highly recommend her.”


“Crystal was amazing! My dogs took to her right away. She kept to their schedules and sent me pictures to show me how they were doing. I felt safe and confident leaving my doggies with her :)”


“Josephine stayed at my house while I was away for a 7 day trip. The dogs were relaxed and comfortable when I returned which shows how happy they were while in her care. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”


“Jennifer and Alex were very attentive to Harley and Oscar while I was away. They updated me regularly with pictures and texts reassuring me that both were fine. I would highly recommend them to anyone and I certainly plan to hire them again through Rover.”



“Jason went above and beyond to take good care of our home and 14 week old English Setter Puppy. Just after committing to a puppy, we had the opportunity to visit France with our daughter, and visit our granddaughter. We really wanted to go, but only if we could find someone super reliable to take great care of a puppy and continue the training we started. Jason came to meet us before we booked him and put our minds at rest. He sent us daily updates during our week in France so we were able to relax and enjoy a wonderful trip. Should you need a pet sitter, and Jason can do it, do not hesitate!”


“Katlynn was so great with our dogs. We added a puppy to our family last minute and she embraced it head on! Our dogs loved her and even watched her leave. I would trust her with my dogs any day of the week! She should be your go-to-gal for this area!”


About: For future reference; will not be accepting non neutered or spayed cats/dogs unless accompanied by a crate, especially if their not trained please. I do have one myself, so not that you need to have one per se but allow use if necessary! This is partially for Henrys experience too, so please keep that in mind when reading this; its not to be snarky. I have trained two dogs growing up who have above average listening and response times. Positive reinforcement was key to my success, psychology paid off. One was a rescue dog; she was such a sweet heart but it took some time getting her to open up based off her traumatic experiences prior to entering the adoption location she luckily found her way too. Henry on the other hand, was purchased from a breeder, so fortunately for him less baggage, and unfortunately for her given the circumstances. I've done dog sitting/pet care for family dogs when family members would go on vacation for anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks. Medication administration is a non issue, as well as grooming is another area I take great pride in doing myself, as it's a good trait to have being a pet owner. Have cared for puppies, adult or senior dogs; we were a dog first family growing up so I've grown to love them more than you can realize just through descriptions; with my active daily lifestyle it allows for the animals to gain as much out of exercise as I do and working from home helps as well. I treat animals as if their my family or children, so they'd receive the same treatment one would expect from a friend baby sitting their children. Seamlessly; he wakes up when I do and is let out accordingly at 4 AM we go for multiple walks a day most notably 430 AM and 530 PM. I work from home so it makes it very manageable to get him outside for bathroom breaks within 2-2.5 hour interval periods. I'd like to think we both operate at a high level through one another. We feed off one another, so when he's upbeat I am too, but when I'm down he has his tricks that ensure a great therapeutic touch. I treat them as if their my children; I speak to them in a way they understand with words or phrases we've practiced or has practiced to ensure optimal success in regards to understanding one another. Henry and I like to play often with his toys or just horsing around with Belly rubs and chasing him around the house. He sleeps with me too, so no furniture is off limits as I usually have blankets or other covers in place to manage hair loss.

“Carlene is awesome! She is kind, conscientious, and a great communicator. She sent us photos of our dog each day and she paid close attention to him. We’re so glad we had her as our sitter and will use her again.”

In a client’s home, I provide attentive care by sticking to their feeding, walking, and medication schedules, keeping their environment clean, and giving them plenty of attention and exercise.
