2. Valerie C.
“Valerie did an amazing job checking in on our two labs while we were camping. We had a few days when we could not take the dogs with us on our adventures, so we are thankful we had someone take of our fur babies for walks, to water them, and interact with them. She took pictures during each visit for us to see how they were doing. Our fur babies were well taken care of during these check-ins, and we will definitely use Valerie next time we camp in the area.”

About: I got my dog when I was 13 and she was the best thing that happened to me. She was the most loving and caring dog I ever met but lost her to a serious illness and I just love to give out my heart to animals and would love to spend some time with your animals. I am a stay at home mom and the moment. Son is five and in kindergarten and he loves animals just as much as I do but because I’m not completely over losing my dog I haven’t been able to get him a dog for himself. I’m home and have a dog park right now the road from me so keeping dogs a breeze. I always have an eye on the animals. Never feed food other then the kind given. Nothing in the rooms that they would stay in that could hurt them.

7. Heather E.
“Heather was on time, and took good care of our pups while we were at a wedding. We are from Indiana so it was stressful to leave our dogs in a rental for 6+ hours. Heather helped alleviate that stress by coming and taking the dogs for a walk, playing with them, and feeding them during the wedding. I would definitely recommend her services!”
8. Mikaela J.
“Mikaela is wonderful! Communicated well and spent time with the one of our two cats who would come out! She looked everyday fir the other, less social one and found her! We will definitely be calling on her again.”
9. Brittany H.
About: I’ve had my own pets since I was 6. I’ve had cats, dogs, hamsters , and currently have chickens, ducks, and 3 cats. I have cared for pets off and on over the years for friends and family and have about 20+ years experience! I am a stay at home mom to my 3 kids. My kids love pets and would enjoy playing/helping as long as you are comfortable with this, but also I completely understand if someone is not comfortable with this. I have some flexibility throughout my days that I can care for your pet(s). Aside from caring for my kids and our own pets, I would love to help take care of your fur-baby! I do not have a fenced in yard, but we do have a large yard and are very far away from the road and on our road is not very busy, we do have neighbors with lots of pets and they have handled this area/property well - hopefully that helps. I would prefer to visit your home to care for your pets, but my home is also an option.

About: For boarding and doggy daycare, dogs must be up to date on the following vaccinations: rabies, DHPP (or some version of it), and Bordatella, which is for kennel cough. I am licensed through Department of Agriculture and have dogs coming and going all of the time, so this is to protect all dogs who come in, and if other sitters do not ask about vaccinations, it is probably because the safety of your dogs or other dogs is not a top priority. My passion and full-time job is taking care of dogs! I am licensed and insured in addition to Rover because I have dedicated myselt to giving attentive care and keeping your pets safe. I have 800 sq. ft. (40'x20') fenced dog park just for letting the dogs out to play, and I spend all day with dogs who stay in my care, whether I am in the dog park outside or my inside. Dogs are treated as family and protected as such. Even inside I have tons of toys to stimulate your dog. I give treats if approved by you and/or you can bring your own. It's really more of a vacation for your dog. I walk them around my 4 acre property. I have a lake in the backyard that with your permission your furry friend can play in the lake. Whether it is doggy daycare or boarding, the dogs are tired when they leave and many dogs do not want to leave, honestly. The dogs are supervised 100% of the time, and you can trust that your dog is getting the star treatment. I send a lot of photos and give updates daily. You are not just leaving your precious pet with someone who does this as a hobby. You are leaving your best friend to someone with lots of experience and can read dog body language, which keeps your dog safe. I also know dog CPR and can give medicine. I follow all instructions to the letter, and I am dependable. I have never had to cancel a dog's stay. I also have dog training experience. I have taken my dog to Manners 101 and CGC and then taught all my dogs at home as well as other dogs in my care. Lastly, I have the skills to deal with dog aggressive dogs who may not do well with other dogs. I have first-hand experience keeping dogs apart safely in a separate room. I am very thorough at keeping doors shut, getting in and out of doors without the dog escaping, and only taking the dog out when it is safe, meaning all of dogs are secure. If a dog is aggressive toward other dogs, I can only accept if I have my private suite (bedroom) available because of the privacy needed because an aggressive dog will need to be in the suite the majority of the time, but I do make time to hang out in the main house one on one with the dog when all others are resting in their crates or being watched by my partner in another room. When I pet sit, I keep your house pristine, and you can count on me to be there if we schedule a visit or pet sit. I am dependable, trustworthy, and responsible. I like to keep animals in their regular routine while you are away. For dogs, that means regular walks, runs, whatever they are used to doing with you is what I want to give them while you are away. I give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I also check the mail, bring in packages, water plants and gardens, and shut on/off lights if requested. I am a non-smoker with a clean background who is drug free (former teacher). Meet and greets are available and free. Dog care is my full-time job! I was a high school English teacher, and I quit to start my own dog care business because I wanted to give attentive care and create fun times and adventures with dogs. I am available 24/7 for your pet care needs. Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have questions or want to do a meet and greet. Meet and greets are recommended and free! I want to give you a tour and for you to know where your dog will stay. I will gladly show you the accomodations and meet with you, so you can have confidence leaving your pup. 🩵Supervised 100% of the time 🩵Boarded dogs are out of the crate and with me 90% of the time 🩵Dogs are on leash when walked 100% of the time 🩵 Dogs are up-to-date on their shots: Rabies, DHPP (or variation), and Bordatella (kennel cough) 🩵 Dogs get only approved treats by you 🩵 Pet CPR and first aid certified 🩵 Lots of love and attention!

About: Hi there! My name is Rachael and I have always had a passion for taking care of animals of all kinds. Animals are one of the best joys in life as they provide so much happiness and companionship to our lives. So much so, like they are our children and I believe they each have a personality of their own. I would love the opportunity to take care of your pets no matter his or her needs. I know it can be nerve wrecking to leave them and I would be so happy to take care of them and ensure you they are taken care of while you are away. I have experience taking care of my own pets as well as many years of dog sitting/walking experience. I currently have a 11 year old chocolate Labrador, 4 year old golden doodle. My schedule is very flexible and pet care is a big part of my schedule. So, I will be available to take care of your pets on weekdays as well as weekends and holidays especially. I prefer to take care of your pets in your home as that is where they are comfortable however, I am flexible and want to cater to whatever your needs are
12. Dixie B.
“Dixie is a great care taker! She is so patient and caring with animals. She loves my cat, Zelda, and is always so kind and loving with her.

She will take excellent care of your animal and make sure that it has everything that it needs!”

18. Jill I.
“I have known Jill since 1994. Jill is the kind of person who will care for and protect any animal. She's personally had and cared for blind dogs, flew across the country to save a dog who was about to be destroyed, and nursed back to health a cat who tangled with a wild animal. She's a kind and caring soul who also can and will do the dirty work of owning pets of all types - birds included. Trustworthy.”
