“Sallie has been a life saver. We got a new puppy, Smokey, that she has taken great care of. She responds quickly and we often book last minute due to my significant others last minute schedule at the hospital. I love the updated pictures we get on their walks. We have booked many times with Sallie and will continue to do so! Thank you!!”

About: I know dogs and am familiar with training and obedience techniques. I've cared for ill dogs and can medicate and care for those with special needs. I'm very active and can help your pet get as much exercise as needed. I'm retired and looking to fill my time caring for the things I love most...dogs and cats! I am flexible and can come to your place or your pet is welcome at mine! I have a fenced in yard. I have a 9 year old dog and cat friendly Chiweenie named Rosie who is lonely for a fur friend as she recently lost her best friend. Our dog has the run of our home as will yours should that be your wish. I'm also happy to come to your home and house sit with your pet. I can administer meds, take to vet, etc.

Jennifer A.
“We adore our large standard poodle. I worry about him when we’re away. He likes several walks daily, lots of stimulation, and takes medication with meals three times a day. He’s a guard dog who’s wary of strangers but quickly warmed to Jennifer’s soft heart and playfulness, while respecting that she was in charge. She’s punctual, has no problem giving medication, going on walks and keeping him stimulated and happy. I’m thrilled to find her! I highly recommend this loving caregiver.”
Donovan F.
“Donovan is very professional and dependable. He treated my dog with excellent care. I highly recommend Donovan.”
Highlands Douglas pet parents share their Rover experiences
Heather has been our go to for watching our elderly dog. This past week was our first time having her do drop in visits for our cats and received the same great service from her! She leaves great notes on her visits with pictures and left everything clean and orderly.
Super flexible, communicative, and kind! Always willing to work with me when something changes in terms of care. She was very understanding when my puppy caused trouble while she was checking in on her (and I know puppies can be hard)! Cleans up my home without being asked to. She’s amazing!
Sarah is outstanding! She is great with cats and very reliable and communicative. Tiger is a bit shy and skittish but was open to Sarah and was happy in his pictures that she sent. Can’t say enough about this amazing sitter that really shines when caring for animals!
