“Charlii took fantastic care of our dog, Finn. He's a sweet but high energy and anxious border collie. It was our first long trip without him and we were a bit nervous about how he would do. There was no need to worry. He absolutely adored Charlii and they had so many adventures together. Charlii sent so many pictures and videos, we were jealous of all the fun they were having! Thank you, Charlii.”


“This is my second time asking Melina to watch my babies while I was away for longer than I like. Melina is incredible! She’s a great communicator, all my fur babies absolutely adore her…she was even able to hang out with my slightly-less-than-feral kitty! I’m so happy that she’s decided to spend her days loving on critters, she’s perfect for the job! My pup started taking pills twice daily, since the last time that she watched him, and she was up for the job. He took them like a champ from her. I would highly recommend Melina for all your fur baby needs! She’s wonderful! Thank you!!!!”


“He followed all of my instructions to a T and was a great house guest. I really appreciate how fast he communicated with me throughout the process. My dog normally barks at people and his calm presence was a nice fit to keep Kuta calm.”

“Sophie did a fantastic job sitting for our house, two dogs, 6 chickens and many plants! She's a great communicator and enthusiastic pet lover. She sent daily dog photos and kept the house so clean it was hard to tell anyone had been there. I will highly recommend her for house and pet sitting!”


About: Hi, I'm Rose. I have been around animals my whole life and have had a family dog (a small poodle mix) for the last 7 years so I understand the importance of love and structure when caring for animals. I also spent time volunteering at my local animal shelter by helping walk dogs and clean kennels. More recently I have begin pet sitting this has included over night stays as well as daily walks and check ins. Through this experience I have worked with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I also have a familiarity with dog training and differing behavioral challenges. I am currently a full time college student home for summer break. This allows me to have a an open schedule and I am free most times of the day! I prioritize communication between myself and pet owners and will make sure to provide updates often. For me to care for an animal it crucial that I know of any challenges or triggers they may experience and strong communication will allow me to better know the pet I am taking care of While I am unable to board a dog at my home I will ensure that pets remain safe while following all rules of the household.

I have great local references, reliable transportation. I am very comfortable with special needs pets, including medications, injections, bladder expression for those paralyzed pups, skin treatments, or any other needs your pet may have.

Currently only doing art and craft shows on a few weekends this season, so I am very flexible and can fit most stays without having to leave for long periods. I run 2 small businesses and understand how important reputation is, and I am happy to say, I have a great one! I work hard, and can be trusted in your home and with your pets!
