“I have used Ruth several times and could not be happier with the services she provides. Ruth demonstrates a high level of professionalism, punctuality, and attentiveness to my dog, Frankie. Ruth has excellent communication skills and replies to my messages promptly with pictures of her visit with Frankie. There have been several occasions when I've needed last minute dog walks or visits due to a work emergency, and Ruth always is able to jump in and help me out with last minute notice. Most importantly, my dog Frankie absolutely LOVES her! I highly recommend Ruth for all your animal needs! ”
“Sia was wonderful! Our pup is a little shy at first, and Sia was so patient and warm while Apple warmed up to her.

About: Hi my name is Rachelle! I’ve walked and watched most dogs since I was seventeen my love for dogs and animals are my passion. I’ve had animals such as goats, dogs, ducks you name it since I was little! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I have a year and a half German shepherd who has very high energy so we spend most of our time in the yard playing fetch and going on walks My German shepherd requires a lot of walks and running through out the day it makes for a very fun day especially to see her so happy! I make sure everything is ok while I am walking them, make sure I have plenty of water with me and it’s not too hot for them

Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover all my life. I've had dogs of my own and have always loved to take care of family and friend's dogs.

I am available for your let's needs, whether that be stop I'm visits, house sitting and overnight stays and more. I also do pet and family portraiture.

About: I’m the biggest pet lover I know! I frequently dog-sit and cat-sit for friends and neighbors. Throughout my life, I've had six dogs, two of whom now live with my parents. All of them have enjoyed wonderful lives! One of my special skills is out-energizing dogs during their walks. I love taking them around the lake and enjoying my neighborhood! I often visit my neighbors to check on their pets, change the kitty litter, or just spend time with them—especially when they go on vacation. I also feed and walk my friend's pets. See I create a detailed list of needs and wants for the pets, all discussed with the pet owner to ensure that I understand what is required for their care. I also like to get to know both the owner and the pet before providing care. This allows me to ask questions and gather the necessary information to properly care for the pet.
About: Ive always gotten along well with cats & dogs. I always try to cater to the need of the owners as long as their reasonable 😂. Honestly animals in general bring so much joy to everyone and deserve the cuddles and care the need. 😁 I’m usually available on Mondays & Fridays after 5pm and am free throughout Saturday, as for Sundays I’m free either in the early mornings like 8:30am - 11am or after 4pm-9. I try my best to be flexible with the hours before and/or after 12pm to 5pm. If you have any rules in place don’t hesitate to let me know. I’ll always strive to make sure to stick to them. And make sure that your pets are relax and have the necessary attention they need. 🙂
About: I have had at least one dog my entire life, so over 20 years. I have experience with puppies who were just born, all the way to a pup who is 17 years old - almost as old as me! I have owned multiple dogs at a time, trained my own puppies, and have even had farm animals (cows, pigs, goats, chickens, you name it!) My family and friends have relied on me to care for their pups for years, and I have experience with over 20 breeds including (Shih Tzus, Yorkshire Terriers, Chihuahuas, English Bulldogs, Great Pyrenees, German Shepherds, Mountain Curs, Golden Doodles, Golden Retrievers, Doberman Pinchers, and many more!) I am a 23 year old newly married, dog loving girl! I have a 5 year old English bulldog of my own and her and I are the best buddies! I can assure you, your pup will be just as loved as if it was my own. I absolutely love walking dogs and taking them to the dog park (two of my faves) or simply just playing in the yard. Prior to taking care of your pup, I love for them to get familiar with me, so I will take the on a walk or play with them first. I do not offer overnight services in my personal home, but will visit your home so that your sweet pup (or cat!) feels safe and very familiar with its surroundings. I have found that relocating your pup to a place they have never been can make them very nervous, therefore I simply visit your home where your pup is at the times that you typically feed/water, and take out your pup on a normal basis!
“Ashley was absolutely wonderful! My boys loved her! She kept in touch with us each time she stopped in and even made sure our rabbit had food and water while we were gone. We will definitely be using her in the future!”

Lake Hunter Terrace pet parents share their Rover experiences
Katherine is our favorite pet sitter we’ve ever had! As someone who feels anxiety leaving their pets in someone’s care, I can finally enjoy my time away from home because she takes such great care of them. She takes lots of fun pictures of their time together and my dogs love when she comes to play. I cannot recommend her enough!
Sunni is an angel and I am extremely grateful for all her help! The fact that my shy cat came out during her visits tells me a lot about how kind of a person she is! I would not hesitate to request her again and I absolutely recommend her for anyone wanting first-class care for their fur babies! Thank you Sunni!
