About: I have successfully run an animal farm and currently volunteer at the animal shelter. I love animals! I have had dogs, cats, goats, cows, pigs, chickens, and fish. I will care for your pet as my own animals! I will care for your pet as my own and your pet will be my top priority! I have run my own business and am great at scheduling as well as communication.

“Always a pleasure to have Lela in our home. We went on vacation and she did a house stay. She is very patient with our fur baby and makes sure his meals and walks are done at our requested time. Her communication skills are on point and and also provides us with any concerns regarding our dog. She is extremely trustworthy and will hire her again.”


About: I’ve had and cared for all species of animals my whole life. From lizards, to chickens, to even water buffalo. I cannot imagine my life without animals I work from home so I can make my own schedule. I have my own critters to take care of so I’m always out and about At home I take care of my critters 2x a day. My horses I only have to feed once a day but I still drive by to get my eyes on them. I like to see my animals and make sure everyone is ok at least 2x a day

“Jennifer was great! Both of my furkids enjoyed having her stay with them. I felt comfortable and confident that my dogs would be safe and well cared for! I will be contacting her, again, for another trip!”


“Amanda is amazing! She did a wonderful job with my pets and was conscientious about following my instructions. Receiving photos and updates every day was great. I highly recommend Amanda!”


About: I have three cats. I dog sit for my friends and family from time to time and decided to expand my offers to others who need it! I’ve raised my dog since he was a puppy, and he is very well trained and listens. He is an old man now, but is unbothered by other animals. I am pretty flexible with my services. If you have specific questions do not hesitate to ask and I would be more than welcome to answer any that you have. I am looking forward to sitting for you and your furr babies! I am a stay at home mom and I am only out of the house for errands and from 7-8 and until 1:45-3:30 due to school pick up. I am very loving to my pets. I am frequently outside with my dog. I will treat your pets just like if they were my own with the same love and care.

About: I've rescued and cared for six dogs, three became mine. And I' ve dog-sat for friends & family for decades. Dogs love my fenced yard and the looong walks we take in the acres of trails and woods around my house! I'm formally educated and exprienced in animal behavior and comparative psychology. And as a professional conservation biologist, I've spent my career working to protect all animals and their habitats. Caring for critters is my heart & soul. I work from home (complete with a fenced yard) surrounded by many wooded acres for long walks. Dogs welcome day or night, long- or short-term. I'm always here with them. And your dog(s) can either enjoy the company of my two pups, or they can have me, the house, and the yard all to themselves (as my pups love to go stay with their grand-dad down the hill). Boarding dogs can either meet and play with my two pups or they can have me, the house, and the fenced yard to themselves, which ever you/they prefer. The same applies to day-care for dogs.


About: Hi fellow pet lovers! I’m Jackie, I grew up on a farm and now have a couple cats myself! I volunteer at the shelter weekly and have experience doing numerous things, whether it’s administering medications, removing ticks, or even the tricky eaters! I promise I am a kid on Christmas morning when it comes to caring for your pet and will do nothing more but give them the utmost care and attention. Thank you in advance for trusting me! Very easily! I currently work from home and make my own hours so I can be available at any time, day or night for your needs. I have a two bedroom one story condo. I will block off the back half to keep my two cats separated. Which will leave plenty of space for your pets needs. They will have access to my spare room, living room, dining room and kitchen area. And yes of course they’re allowed on the couch!

“We recently had the pleasure of having Molly look after our beloved dogs - Koda, Willow, and Brutus - while we attended a wedding in Ohio. From the outset, Molly was a beacon of professionalism and warmth. Her approach to pet care is nothing short of exceptional. Molly's ability to connect with our dogs was evident when she met them. Koda, our older pup, warmed up to her instantly. Always energetic, Willow found a playful and understanding friend in Molly. And Brutus, our gentle giant, was cared for with the perfect mix of affection and discipline. Returning home, our dogs were happy, healthy, and well-loved in our absence. It was clear that Molly had formed a special bond with each of them. The house was also in perfect condition, reflecting Molly's respect and care for our space. In conclusion, Molly is a phenomenal Rover sitter and a true friend to our furry family members. We couldn't have asked for a better person to care for Koda, Willow, and Brutus. We highly recommend Molly to any pet owner who wants peace of mind and the highest standard of care for their pets. Thank you, Molly, for your outstanding service and for treating our dogs like yours!”

Me and my family did hospice and behavioral cases so I am very experienced with calm dogs, psycho dogs, dogs with various health issues, dogs other people would typically turn down. You have a dog with medications or a strict list of to dos? Not a problem I got them covered! I’ve taken care of dogs,cats,horses,donkeys,birds,fish,rats,Guinea pigs ect so if you got more then just the typical furry friends I got you covered there to! I work in the hospital 3 12s over nights so I’m pretty flexible. Even in my daily life I take care of barn animals and my own so I can add your furry friends to the mix! I know everyone sees their fur babies as family and have the worries of a fur parent. So however you want your babies cared for just let me know! I’ll follow your list and try to go above and beyond to make sure your babies feel safe and loved and like it’s a mini vacation for them to!
