“Mary pays special attention to my little old dog. I feel comfortable knowing she is taking great care of Olive when I have to be away too long.”

“Thank you!!”
3. Kimberly E.
“Kim was very good managing all of the dogs I left home while traveling to dog shows. They all seemed happy and healthy when I got home. Everything was clean as I had left it. I will definitely be hiring Kim again!”
4. Emily G.
“Top tier Rover. Emily is always saving me in a tight spot and taking care of my kitty, Nyx, during my ultra last minute holiday plans or emergencies. She’s very communicative and follows pet care instructions to a T, she’s saved my ass twice in a bind and I have no complaints especially since my baby is fed and a little less lonely while I’m away. You’re in good hands if you choose Emily.”
5. Lilliana R.
“She was wonderful with my husky! Spirit is a rescue with a mostly unknown past. She is usually in "Stranger Danger" mode but while she was definitely not happy Lilliana managed to gain her trust and get her bathed with little drama. I am so thankful that Lilliana answered my request.”
6. Kyle M.
“I have a couple dogs that are older and one is kind of special needs. I was hesitant to let anyone stay in our home to care for them and there is no way I'd ever board them..... So my family just didn't do things as a family. My husband and daughter would go have a special weekend and then she and I would go, but one of us always stayed home to care for the dogs. We really wanted to go away for a few days for something special with our daughter so I just took a leap of faith. I had Kyle in a class on dogs at one time and he excelled. He even asked for extra homework. He's now going to school to pursue a veterinary career. So I talked with him and he agreed to come and watch the dogs in our home. He did really well with them and we even took a second trip out of state for several days and they did great with him. Kyle is trustworthy and caring and was the best student in my class. He follows directions and now we know we can go away if we need to and we don't have to worry about our little guys. We know we have Kyle. They don't like many people, but they do pretty well for him. We could not be happier.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience with diabetic dogs. Dogs that need medicine. Special needs dogs. I love to play with them, walk them and I will treat them as my own. We raise horses so I have a lot of experience where you have to pay close attention so I would notice if something is off with you dog and I would address it immediately. I currently work 6 hours a day so you would not have to worry about your dog. I would walk, brush, and play with your dog. I would take care of your dog as my own at your home. I would make sure they are loved like my own. If they have special needs or need shots, medicine or anything extra you can feel safe with me.

11. Zahara S.
About: I have experience with puppies under one year, overnight stays, 6 dogs at once, and even chickens! Personally I am also a cat person :) dog care has included medication and vet administered routines I am self employed and work remote, so my schedule is flexible on available days. I love animals and really love caring for them. I walk everyday so dog walking is a big interest of mine. I have lots of housesitting experience with puppies under two years and elderly and small dogs. I love thorough communications so I can uphold any and all boundaries you may have. I will play with them, cuddle, to whatever degree you are comfortable with! I can provide natural treats and administer meds as desired. **please note for overnight stays service is only available in the client’s home**

18. Ashleigh S.
About: i’ve had dogs ever since i can remember. the first dog i remember, bubba, was a golden retriever. i loved taking care of him. and i think he loved taking care of me too. he unfortunately left this world too early, but i’ve had 5 dogs since and i love them all dearly. i enjoy feeding, walking, and playing with dogs. i could honestly do without the picking up poop part, but i do it because it makes my dogs happy (and less stinky). i work full-time in a management position at a retail store, so i often rely on my pets to destress. i often stay very busy, but i always make time for my pets. i don’t have a fence, but my dogs are fairly well trained when it comes to going outside, so i can let them out and let them do their stuff as long as i keep an eye on them. my cats live outdoors, but they have a safe space with blankets to sleep and eat on the front porch. i regularly check them for insects.
19. Lindsay R.
