“Wanda was amazing! Bella felt right at home and got lots of snuggles and love. Wanda let me know how she was doing, that she was eating well, and sent pictures too. I’m so grateful to have found such a dedicated sitter for my dog….it is obvious that she loves dogs!! I highly recommend Wanda for your dog sitting needs!”
“Kara was especially interested in Meshas's routine care that would make her stay more comfortable. Her daily photos and updates on Mesha's eating and purring helped me feel more comfortable. I felt that Kara really cared about both Mesha and my concerns, so I knew my cat was in good hands. Thank you Kara”
“Beth is amazing! Her home was perfect for our high energy dogs, and they really enjoyed playing with her dog as well. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to trust my fur babies with. Thank you, Beth!”
“We are so happy to have found Pam (and her husband)! She offered the comforts of home as well as lots of activity for our Piper, from long walks to rides in the golf cart and boat. Plus, Pam sent daily updates and pictures so we could see how much fun Piper was having during our vacation. It was a vacation for Piper, too! I highly recommend Pam and I know Piper would like to come back the next time we're up north.”
“Very pleased with Madison's care. My dog looked right at home with her and her family. She communicated very well about concerns and drop-off and pick-up scheduling. Thanks, Madison!”
“Kelsey was awesome!! She cared for my dog as she would her own and sent updates daily! Even sent him home with a little Easter bag 🥰 Will definitely be referring my friends to her as well as using her again!”
About: I’ve had my puppy for about 6 months now and would love to have doggy friends over for play dates. She could use some doggy interaction. She loves to play with other dogs. I work a few days out of the week a couple hours a day. I’m home the rest of the time. I won’t take in any dogs while I’m away. I can rearrange my work schedule so I don’t have to go in any certain day or time. I have a big yard that is not fenced in, but I can take your dog out on a leash if you provide one. I can take them for walks around my property. And if you allow it they can free roam the yard as well.
“Misty was just great with our dogs. She has a great location for allowing them outdoor time. Whatever your dogs require, Misty will try to accommodate you. Our dogs enjoyed their stay and my husband and I were both very pleased she treated them so well.”
About: Hi! I’m Ashley, and I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. My stepdad was the head of animal control, which taught me a lot about animal behavior, safety, and compassion at a young age. I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently share my heart (and couch!) with two of my own—Sassy, my sweet 17-year-old dachshund who I’ve had since 2011, and Oakley, a playful 6-year-old lab I adopted from the local animal shelter. I understand the unique needs of both senior dogs and high-energy pups, and I treat every animal in my care like family. Whether your pet needs gentle senior support, active playtime, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to help with dependable, loving care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home most of the week, which allows me to give my dogs plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. On the days I’m in the office, I’m only five minutes from home, so I’m able to come back easily to let my dogs out and check in on them. Their well-being is always a top priority, and I structure my day to make sure they’re comfortable and cared for—I’d do the same for yours! I care for pets in whatever way is most comfortable for them. I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. If your pet loves their kennel, that’s perfectly fine—but if they prefer to cuddle up in bed, I’m more than happy to share the extra snuggles! Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding routines, or just relaxing on the couch, I do my best to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home.
About: I have had pets my entire life. I knew very young that I wanted to work with animals. I have a great love and compassion for them. I will take great care of your babies! I have a lot of experience caring and working with dogs. I have hobby farm experience (dogs, cats, chickens and a horse) as well. I am a Licensed Veterinary Nurse, therefore, I am educated in many aspects of caring for your pet. I know what to look for in case of illness, injury, etc. I can also do some other tasks, like toe nail trims, ear cleanings, etc. I am a dependable, trustworthy person who knows how important your pets are to you. I look forward to caring for your pets and/or walking your dog.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life from newborn to elder dogs. I previously assisted my ex-wife with Rover sitting for many years. I have handled a working dog for approximately a year. I work full time 12 hour shifts. I am able to care for dogs during that time if the owner is comfortable with the dog being left home for 12 hours. Otherwise I am off and home with my children the remainder of the week. I have a fenced in yard and private land and trails for walks. I try my best to exercise the dogs while they are with me weather dependent.
About: I’ve had animals since I was 10, but started watching others animals about 4 years ago. I am also in the veterinary medicine industry so if pets need medication of get sick while I watch them I am more than comfortable to take care of them Pet care fits in my routine as I work and live right in town so getting around and to places is fairly easy for me to do. At my apartment building there is a dog park that pets can go and play at. I have taken my personal dog there multiple times and she loves it! I love throws a ball around for my pets and they get plenty of exercise
About: I have been raising and caring for dogs, cats and various farm animals for the past 15 years. I have had dogs of all sizes from St Bernard to chihuahua. I currently have an Australian Shepard and Texas Heeler. I have experience with very young to very old dogs and dogs with specialized needs. I would love to care for your pet just as I would care for mine. I am currently a stay at home wife so I have very open availability. I am able to come to your pet or host your pet on my 110 acre farm. My pets are well cared for. They are well mannered and we make sure that they are given plenty of exercise and play. Our pets are treated like family and yours would be treated the same.
