This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone other than family. Declan communicated and sent photos throughout his stay, and we felt comfortable that the pups were well cared for!

Kat was great with my older dog and my puppy while we were able to join our cruise vacation- she updated us daily and i didn’t need to worry about how the dogs were doing. Can’t wait to book her again.

About: I am a lifelong pet owner of 3 dogs. I have plenty of experience with dog walking, house sitting, quality and effective playtime, dealing with messy cleanups, and administering medication. I have had returning clients who trust me to always be available and happy to give their pets quality attention and care. I have worked with dogs ranging from puppy to senior and from miniature to gigantic. I’d love to connect with you and your furry companions!! Aside from dogs, I also have experience with cats, fish, and mice! I am currently working a part-time job, but hours are very limited. I usually work weekdays but am available weekends, nights, and if needed, overnight (Mon-Wed). I have reliable transportation as well. While I do not offer boarding in my own home, I am able and happy to provide my services at your own home. I have worked for many different families who I have built trust with who know that I provide safe, nurturing, and supportive care to dogs of any age and size.

Aimee did a great job taking good care of our puppy! She is very kind and passionate. She played very well with our puppy, brought him to potty, prepared food and water for him. Our puppy had a lot of fun.

Sarah is a top notch dog sitter. She will leave your house looking clean and send you daily updates and pics. She will allow you to enjoy your vacation while you are away from the dogs. She is a very kind person and I knew I could trust the house and dogs with her.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was probably around ten years old. Making sure they are fed, played with, and petted are all ways to show them they are pampered and loved, and that’s something I strive to do! I work a part time job, but I can always do my best to make my schedule flexible. The only unchanging thing I have is going to the gym for about an hour, but I will always come right back! My service is completely up to you! If your furry friend needs to go in the kennel for a little bit, I can do that. If he or she needs to be walked for an hour every day, I can absolutely do that as well. Once again, my service ends wherever you need it to!

This was our first-time using Rover and leaving our pup and cats with someone we didn't know. Gage met with us ahead of time and stayed in touch while we were gone with photos and updates. We felt comfortable knowing they were all in such good hands. Would refer and use Gage in the future! Thanks again!

Mae did an AMAZING job watching my dog while I was away. I have a rescue who has separation anxiety and Mae was extremely patient with him and took him on lots of walks to help him feel more comfortable. She gave me several updates throughout the day and sent lots of pictures which I really appreciated! She also left a report card with an adorable polaroid of my dog which was so cute. My dog can’t wait until the next time he gets to hangout with Mae!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, from the puppy years all the way up to saying goodbye. I have many years of experience in handing dogs and caring for them. Throughout the years I have dog sat neighbors and friends dogs. Leaving a family member behind is hard, for both you and your pet, I am here to eliminate that stress by making sure your pet is well taken care of while their human is away. I am available anytime after 8am for play dates and check-ins, I have a pretty open and flexible schedule and will be able to work out times that best work for you! When it comes to the safety of your pet, I take this very seriously. I only give treats/toys that you approve. If there are special accommodations your pet may need, please let me know before meeting so I can come prepared! I am very open minded to discussing anything that I can do to better care for your pet!

Randy was great with our 2 rambunctious rescues! He took them out on several long walks together every day (no easy feat with the combined 120lbs of leash reactive dogs) and spent tons of time snuggling with them. Lots of updates throughout his stay! We came home to a spotless apartment and 2 happy pups. Would definitely book Randy again!

Ashlee was wonderful with my senior pup who needed a LOT of extra care. She ensured that I, the worried mom, got tons of photos and updates throughout my time away. She really put me at ease and handled the many needs of my older sick pup with great care, kindness, and professionalism. She stayed at my home with my pup and left the house in great shape. We will certainly be asking her to watch our dog again in the future.

About: I am an animal lover to the fullest and your neighborhood pet sitter! Being around dogs is a form of therapy for me; I also give the best chin and belly rubs a pet could ask for... so it's a win-win! I grew up in a dog household. I will properly care for your pet as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible and I am open to working with your busy schedule and your pets' needs. I have experience with many kittens and full grown cats and puppies as well as elderly dogs. I am learning more about this industry and pets everyday and loving every day of it! I look forward to meeting you and becoming your pets' newest friend!

About: I’ve been rescuing animals since I was 8yrs old, I have a lot experience with young animals as well as senior care. I’ve never met an animal that I wasn’t able to make comfortable and build a bond with! I’m currently a stay at home mom, my baby would be next door at my parents during boarding. I’m excited to get the opportunity to enjoy your furbaby while being able to provide for my newborn. Depending on your preferences, I’d enjoy being hands on with your furbaby. I enjoy going for walks and runs. Lots of play time and engagement
