About: Nice to meet you! My name is Courtney. I created my business because I too struggled to find a reliable dog sitter for my pets. I wanted to provide professional, trustworthy care to my fellow pet owners. People have described me as confident, responsible, and compassionate. I am very passionate about working with pets. I’ve worked with hundreds of dogs, ranging from all dog breeds and sizes. I have been a dog trainer and dog sitter for over 10 years, and I truly have a passion for dogs. Take me to a dog park and I can tell you about every single dogs play style, body language and behavior. What sets my dog sitting and boarding services apart is my understanding of the canine mind and their unique needs for enrichment and reinforcement, crucial for their health and happiness. I have extensive training and real world experience training K9s and companion dogs which requires creativity, patience, and compassion. I also have extensive knowledge of various dog health issues, having cared for blind dogs, deaf dogs, and those with special needs. I firmly believe there are no 'bad' dogs and strive to cater to each client's specific needs. Reactive, nervous, or anxious dogs are always welcome in my care without judgment. Ensuring dogs' safety is my top priority because, like you, my dogs are family, and I treat every pet as such. Trusting somebody with your pets can be nerve wracking, and you can be assured the care, safety, and well being of your family member is taken seriously. “Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.” George Eliot Important note: I have a three day cancellation fee, so please be sure to let me know if your plans change as soon as possible. Last minute cancelations result in other pet parents unable to use my services, so I cannot wave or adjust for my fee. I appreciate clients understanding! Please note that dogs are not to be taken off property during their stay (Unless veterinary related) is it my main priority that pets are safe and secure in our home and yard. Our yard provides ample space for dogs to run, chase a ball, and play with their buddies. My drop off and pickup times are split between AM and PM. My drop off times range from 8-10AM, and 5-8PM. Times outside of those periods will be charged for a day or half day of daycare. I appreciate owners being as close to a planned time as possible to allot time for myself and other clients. As a full-time dog trainer, I work from home alongside my lead trainer, so there is always someone at home! My commitment to being home means that the dogs receive continuous supervision and attention, enhancing safety and well-being. I enjoy hiking, swimming, and gardening in my small garden. When dogs stay at my home, safety is my top priority. To ensure a secure environment, I implement several measures. 1. Supervised Outside Play: Dogs are only allowed outside under direct supervision. This allows me to monitor their behavior, prevent any potential conflicts, and ensure they stay safe from external hazards. 2. Matching Play Styles: I carefully assess the play styles of each dog and only allow those with similar temperaments to interact. This minimizes the risk of misunderstandings and conflicts, promoting an enjoyable playtime for all dogs. 3. FI Collars. If requested by the pet parent, I use FI collars for safety. These smart collars provide real-time location tracking, ensuring an added layer of security. This technology helps me keep track of each dog’s whereabouts, giving pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are safe. 4. Fence: Our property is 1/3 acre and includes a 6 foot fence. Dogs are carefully monitored and I implement 50 foot long lines if needed for escape artists.

About: I have grown up always with a pet in the house and have a specific love for dogs. My most recent experience has been with my dog, Sparta. She is a whippet and I have had her for 4 years. I am currently a college student in University looking for opportunities dueing the semester. I do require more flexibility because of a class and practice schedule. I care for pets in the way that the owner most appropriately desires but will always love your pet as if they were my own!

“Meghan is great! Very friendly and clearly loves dogs. She arrived on time and followed the schedule / notes for the drop in. She sent photos as well so we could see how our dog was doing! Left the house clean too. We will definitely reach out to Meghan next time we need someone to help with our Golden Retriever.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and currently care for four dogs and one cat of my own. Caring for multiple pets has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize each animal’s unique personality and needs. From energetic playtime and long walks to quiet cuddles and sticking to feeding routines, I’m comfortable providing attentive, loving care. Also, I am comfortable and experienced in handling medication for dogs as one of my dogs at home has diabetes. I understand that every pet is part of the family, and I’ll treat yours with the same kindness, respect, and affection that I give my own. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pet. I’ll do my best to accommodate your preferred days and times, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits both you and your furry friend. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for my own four dogs and one cat, so I’m familiar with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and lots of love. I’ll also respect your pet’s routine, follow any feeding or medication instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I currently have four cats and have also been a dog owner. I have been a pet owner for about 30 years. I am also a mom to 6. I am used to chaos and used to cleaning up pet messes. I am also comfortable giving medication. I would love to care for your cat and will be sure to give them lots of love and attention! I have flexibility during the day or evening to come to your home and to take care of your pets. I can also plan care with little advance notice. I can come to your home to take care of your cat. I will be respectful of your home and will take care to ensure your kitties are fed, snuggled and cared for. I can also help with other household tasks, like bringing in the mail or taking out the garbage.

“Sofia was absolutely fantastic- during our initial meeting, her first impression was so lovely and kind and the cats were completely drawn to her. She went above and beyond brushing them and cleaning up messes. We will definitely be calling her to care for them again.”

“Jeaneé is the best. We’ve used her several times now. We always get pictures of the adventures they have together, and updates! We know our animals appreciate having her around.”

Nick S.

“Emma was absolutely amazing with our 2 very high energy boxers! From the start she was responsible, respectful and truly attentive to our dog’s needs. She handled their high energy routines perfectly. Making sure they’ve got plenty of love, care and exercise while she was here. It was clear that she treated them like her own. We came home to happy, calm dogs and couldn’t be more appreciative of her kindness and responsibility. We look forward to having her back soon.”

About: I pet it all of my phones and families dogs whether it’s from short visits to letting the dogs outside to go potty or overnight stays. I have been doing this for over two years now, but it’s been a lot more frequent over the past two years. I have always loved dogs. In fact I have two big dogs one purebred German Shepherd and the other dog is a great Pyrenees mix. I am working with Rover now because I’m trying to be able to afford an apartment for myself and just take care of my basic necessities. I know how well I will want my dogs taken care of if I needed a sitter so I try to provide that same care to my clients! I can usually make any time work as best for you. I don’t have a full-time job. It should be my primary job right now. I can do anything you need me to do. Feeding the dogs, letting them out to go potty, taking them to play, taking them on a walk, etc.

About: Reliable and loving pet care from a seasoned sitter! I grew up with dogs always around the house. As a dog mom, I understand the worry that comes with being away from your fur baby. I'll give your furry friends the attention and comfort they deserve while you're away. I am in town to visit family and friends and am available for pet sitting. I have a flexible schedule and am available as needed. I love spending time with any animal and I am ready to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. Snuggles are a plus.

“Heather was really wonderful. I have 2 dogs who couldn't be more different, a senior hound and a 5 yr old malinois. She did great with both of them. Heather was willing to go above and beyond with the care of the dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: I have taken care of many dogs and animals before. I have cared for and trained various animals including cats, dogs, horses, cows, and goats. Some of the dogs I've sat for were show dogs or had health needs that required a strict routine, diet, or medication needs. While I used to be in the workforce I am home with two boys, they would be with me for any visits or walks so a somewhat kid friendly dog is needed. We used to have dogs of our own so they are both used to pups. This does make me super flexible and able to get up and go pretty quick. I have experience with a wide array of dog breeds, temperaments, energy levels and sizes. Im all ears for preferences and needs for any dog too. I am up and ready to go if needed by 8 and try to be home to cook by 4, and then Im available from 5:30/6ish when dinner raps up as my husband is home and I can run if needed. I approach slowly and gently to encourage calm for the high energy ones and safety for the more timid. I can give food and water if needed, kennel the pup if needed, and will leave the place the same if not better than how I found it.

About: I have 2 dogs, and can help let your pups out when you’re stuck at work, or can’t get back home! Let them get out and stretch their legs Im free mornings or afternoon! Late nights if need as well!. I have a flex schedule, so with notice, I can make it happen when you need! I have 2 dogs with a backyard. They love playing together. They love the outside and playing, even in the cold. I can come and take care of your dog of any breed or size

About: Hi there! I've grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. There's not been one time where we haven't had either one in the house. (I even worked with horses for eight years and my family and I have chickens) There's nothing more satisfying than to come home after a long day's work and to cuddle with my dog and cat. One of my previous dogs and I loved running through the field at top speed when I was younger. So, if your pup is feeling more than just a walk, I'll give them a run for their money. I've also taken care of my brother's boxer who was my dearest friend and who is dearly missed. Basically, I'm just your ordinary girl who enjoys a good time with the pups. I do have a job that has me work either day or night shifts, but I can certainly get your dog the potty breaks and attention they need. My services are in the comfort of your pet's own home. They are my top priority. So, if that means a good play time, outdoor time (I believe in fresh air and sunlight for people and animals), brushing (I love watching my dog enjoying her little massage and getting all the hair out, it's so satisfying), or just some TLC, I'll be there.

About: experience caring for both kids and pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior cats and dogs. I bring patience, attentiveness, and a nurturing approach to every visit. I’m comfortable with routines, medications, special diets, and behavioral quirks. My background helps me read animals’ needs quickly and respond with calm, confident care—whether that’s gentle play for a senior pet or setting healthy boundaries for a high-energy puppy. I treat every pet like family, with safety and love as my top priorities Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a mom with a flexible schedule. With no current job, I have the time and energy to fully focus on each pet’s needs. I genuinely love walking, playing, and spending quality time with animals—it’s something that brings me joy and fits seamlessly into my day. Whether it’s a quiet cuddle or an energetic walk, I’m always ready to give pets the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. For dog walking, I provide safe, enjoyable walks tailored to their energy level and needs—whether it’s a quick potty break or a long, adventurous walk.

“Tegra is super sweet and I immediately felt comfortable into our home and trusting her with our little rascal Kitty cat. Assuming she accepts I'll happily use her services again!”
