Pet Sitting in Lake Hiawatha

“Sarah was wonderful!! We were away for a week getting married and were so sad to be away from our babies for so long. One of our cats is very shy around strangers but Sarah was able to coax him out from behind the couch every time! She gave them plenty of playtime and treats. We will definitely be booking with Sarah again!!”

“Nicole was great. She stopped by twice a day to take care of my two large breed dogs. She was great with my dogs especially my one who tends to be a bit of a jumper. She handled them well and took great care of them and spent time playing ball with them to waste energy. I would recommend Nicole and would use again.”

“Samantha is the best! She’s been very reliable and helpful, going above and beyond to communicate with me about Peppermint ears. (My dog has an ear infection that I had not noticed.)”

About: Hello, Rover community! 😎 From the age of 8, dogs have been constant companions in my life, and caring for them has become a hobby of mine. 🐶 Whether it's tending to my own Maltese Shih Tzu mix or gaining hands-on work experience at an animal hospital and a doggie daycare during summer and winter breaks🏥. I even handle grooming for my own pup! I am an active volunteer and foster parent at Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter and they've given me valuable training experience. Besides dogs, I've also cared for a variety of animals like guinea pigs, chickens, turtles, and fish. 🫂 I'm a full-time college student, but I'm home most of the time and drive to campus only when I have class. I will not accept any stay if I can't be with your pup for the whole length of it. During breaks, I'll be at home and accepting reservations for any day.📲Communication is key, so I'm more than happy to provide videos or photos of your pet upon request. Whether you prefer regular updates like me or would rather relax and receive updates near the end of your dog's stay, I'll adjust updates accordingly. Just let me know your preferences to ensure a peace of mind while you're away from your furry friend. 📷 Working in an animal hospital with patients' strict medication and diet has trained me to follow instructions quickly and accurately. I take pet care seriously, especially cleanliness and safety. I uphold these practices in my own space, using disinfectants that are pet friendly to ensure every dog's well being. While your pup is with me, the pup will stay in my room or the living room so I can keep track of things I should clean at the end of the day. 🐾 I love my dog very much and she spends a lot of time with me, so I want to make sure she doesn't get sick as well. Doing this will also ensure future dog's health and my own. 🧼

“Jasmine is amazing. She's spent extra time with our fur babies. One kitty went missing and she spent extra time baking sure to find her for us. Truly amazing!”

About: Hello my name is Danny, I am a big animal lover (Which I guess would be obvious if I'm doing this lol). I have 1 cat currently, and my partner of 6yrs has 2 cats. I also grew up in a zoo basically with 3 cats, 4 dogs, a bird, 2 snakes, and a rabbit. I can't wait to meet and spend time with your animals! My work schedule is generally 7 to 5 Tuesday through Sunday, but varies slightly. It definitely keeps me busy, but I'd love to still help take care of your animals! I am a very attentive pet parent, I always make sure everyone is safe and happy. I am good at keeping pets entertained, making sure they eat (and don't steal from their siblings lol), and keeping the mischief at bay.

About: As a dog mom myself, I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby with someone else. What sets me apart is the way I treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and attention to the little things that make them feel safe and happy. I have experience with different breeds and temperaments, and I’m especially good with shy or anxious pups who need extra TLC. I’m currently a student and off for the summer, which means I have a super flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the care and attention they deserve. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m around and fully committed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions—so they feel secure and at home. I give lots of attention, cuddles (if they enjoy that!), and keep their space clean and stress-free.

About: I LOVE animals. I believe that caring for them is one of my purposes in life. I have been caring for foster/rescue animals over the last 5 years. I have my own cats and dogs and I have also also been fostering animals through rescues such as Eleventh Hour Rescue and Jersey Pit Rescue. I have worked with all kinds of temperaments and breeds, such as pibble & bully breeds, huskies, terriers, chihuahuas, newborn and young puppies, newborn and young kittens, adult and elderly aged cats, as well as both rescue cats and dogs with specific medical needs. I am currently open to working part-time as I teach during the school year. During the summer I can work flexibly, and during the school year I can help on evenings and weekends. I can additionally help with pet sitting or walking. I can also do house visits in general. I have a fence for my own pups and rescue animals. I can help with crating animals and keeping them safe in their homes. I am flexible and excited to help your family!

“We had our first booking with Jonathan today. He was very responsive and arrived right on time. He remained calm around all three of our dogs. Will book Jonathan again.”
