“Probably the best person I’ve ever met with my dog! Super understanding, my dog is ALOT of work sometimes with his weight and she is fantastic! I highly recommend her for any services you may need because she is great! If I could leave 10 stars I would!”
“From the very beginning, Danielle was amazing. We needed someone to care for our pup last minute and she responded quickly and was so sweet about it. She sent us 2 pictures and kept is updated about when she arrived and left. We will definitely be utilizing her in the future!!”
“Laura was the friendliest sitter for my Rottweiler, she not only took care of him to make sure he had plenty of water/food in his bowl, but she also trained him throughout the walks to fix minor behavioral issues. I fully trust Laura with my dog whole heartedly and I will 100% book her again. She’s caring, leaves a very detailed dog card, and she’ll keep you updated on everything.My dog truly loved her and her energy. I highly recommend booking with Laura.”

“Megan always goes above and beyond to take care of my pups! She works with their reactiveness and always makes sure they’re calm and cooled down after their walks. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have multiple years of in house boarding, leashed walking, and boarding kennel experience. I love to run and am available to take the most active doggos of 5k jogs, guaranteed to get out all of that energy and have the best naps after. I've cared for toy to extra large breeds as well as puppies and senior pets. I have a rescue pittie named JoJo, so bully breeds are my favorite, but any day caring for an animal is a great day! I am self employed and live a nomad lifestyle. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate pets that need more attention and care. I also offer running with your pet, best for high energy doggos. Having your pet stay in their home while you are away is the best way to keep them happy and at ease. I attend to their routines just as you do and ensure you have plenty of updates of how they are.
About: Never feel guilty again for leaving your pup home, while you’re at work bringing home the bacon! Rest easy on your vacation, long day (or night!) at work, or whatever the case may be: I’m always here for you. I absolutely love dogs and animals. I've had dogs all my life; I am very comfortable with all the different breeds of dogs. Throughout my childhood, I usually had anywhere between 2 to 3 dogs at any given time; at this point in my life I have two pets of my own. My oldest dog is a 5 pound Yorkshire Terriers named Denim age 10+. My second dog is a 10 pound Maltese Poodle named Windsor age 3+. I have a lot of help and support from my boyfriend Michael when it comes to taking care of our pups, so expect a dynamic duo when it comes to your pets. I am currently enrolled in college and I am actively working on finishing my second Associates’ degree in Interior Design, graduation date Spring 2020. From there I plan on finishing my Bachelors in Fine Arts in Interior Architecture expected graduation date 2022. I am a very active person I go on long walks, hikes, jogs, and runs so your dog will be perfect company for me. We can go on leashed walks throughout Lake Thom-A-Lex Park or throughout my residential neighborhood. When staying at my house your dog will get plenty of tender, love, and care. They will have oodles of attention and fun. My goal is to tire them out so when it’s time to go home to you their ready for bed. I work from home so I will provide 24-hour supervision to your dog. I appreciate active communication and will provide regular updates and feedback on your pet. I welcome the same. I am a very responsible person, who is very reliable and understanding, I will accommodate the specific needs of both you and your dog. Working with Rover I have had the opportunity to care for an even greater variety of fur babies. I understand that dogs are part of your family and I would love to care for them as if they were part of my own. I have experience with dogs losing their sight and hearing.
About: My name is Abigail, I have had dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, you name it! I love each and every pet and would be delighted to keep yours! I am a stay at home mom and have a lot of time on my hands as well as with my son that loves all animals as much as I do. we do tricks and have lots and lots of outside time playing fetch, throwing balls, and squeaky toys! brushed daily and taken on daily walks I love interacting with any kind of animals, and will show them more than enough attention. It has just been in my heart to always care for animals and i will make sure i meet all of their needs and wants!
About: I am an animal loving, outdoorsy girl. I have four dogs and three cats of my own. Two of my dogs were bottle raised and the other two have medical conditions, which adds to my pet care experience. If there are specifications or preferences in regards to the care of your pet, just let me know and I'm sure I can work with whatever you feel is best for you and your animal. No pet is too big or too small! I currently work full time from home and can be available multiple times a day and/or week if necessary. I love to go on walks, so having the company of your furry companion would be a treat! I currently have a multiple cats and dogs in my home, so I cannot board your pet. But if you need someone to walk or play with your dog throughout the day or stop in to provide food, water, and love to your cat while you’re away, I would be honored!
“Jan is wonderful with our dog! She is so kind and caring and truly gives me peace of mind when I have to be away for work. She makes sure to check in frequently and takes lots of photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands. My husband and I are so happy to have Jan as our regular dog walker, and our doggie Mila loves her too!”
About: I have volunteered and worked at two animal shelters taking care of dogs and cats, as well as working at two boarding facilities. I also have some experience with birds, reptiles and caged animals(like rabbits). I have experience bathing, brushing, keeping areas clean, administration of medicine, and cleaning protocols to ensure health of animals. I have even worked with deemed dangerous dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I am now lucky enough to work from home, so I will be home almost all the time to take care of your fur babies, or go to your home. I do have a female German shepherd husky mix, and she absolutely loves other animals. I also have a cat, but if your dog is cat aggressive we can easily keep them seperated. I have an extra large crate, or of course if you want to bring your own crate you can. I am also able to keep your cat separated if need be! We don't have a fenced in yard, but there are multiple trails around that I take my dog to and are willing to take yours if you are comfortable with that! I have experience with crate training and will do anything you need me to do. If I am housesitting or staying for the day, I will take your dog out about every 4 hours or as needed.
“I came into town for work and needed a walker on short notice. After contacting Shannon and having the initial meet and greet, she agreed to take Staynz for his walk while I was at work. She was on time and Staynz enjoyed getting out of the hotel room especially since we were in a strange area to him. I recommend Shannon to anyone that is looking for someone who will care for your pet and most of all be reliable on short notice.”
About: I have two dogs of my own a mastiff and a husky, so I am great with dogs! I’m very patient and will do great! Since I only work 3 days at my job I have all the time to gladly lend a hand to anyone that needs help anytime! Taking care of pets is very important just like humans they need love, attention, and someone to look out for them and I do that.
About: I’ve worked with animals my entire life and have always been completely dog-obsessed. I’ve had professional experience in the animal care field, including working at a veterinary clinic and spending the last three years at a doggy daycare—starting as a playroom counselor and working my way up to management. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments—from nervous and fearful pups to the most outgoing and energetic ones. I’m especially passionate about French Bulldogs and have two of my own! I also live with a roommate who has two German Shorthaired Pointers, so I’m very familiar with high-energy breeds and pack dynamics. Whether your dog needs a calm, patient presence or an enthusiastic play buddy, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for—no matter how long it takes to earn their trust (and tail wags!). (Have experience with cats but this is more limited!) I work full time but have a flexible schedule and am happy to work out times that fit your pet’s needs—just reach out and we can coordinate! I’m happy to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home—feeding, walks, playtime, medication, snuggles, and anything else they need to feel safe and loved!
About: I have cared for small and big dog breeds of many kinds the past eight years! From puppy to senior furry friends! Many cats as well. I am attentive and a go-to for my family and friends with pets! I make my work schedule on a week to week basis! this means I am very flexible. With how I care for your pet, too. I hope we can make a plan that makes you and your pet most comfortable. I will ensure that your fur babies are safe with me while I am in your home. Making sure outside doors are closed and locked after entering and exiting your home.

Laci H.
“Laci has always gone above and beyond when taking care of our pets. She has been our go-to pet sitter ever since we got our golden doodle, Ollie, two years ago. We recently returned from a two week vacation to a spotless home and our happy and healthy Ollie, as well as our new addition, Lilly, a cavapoo! We had not met her before the house/ pet sitting gig and we can truly say she loved our animals so well. Decent and kind is what we were told by friends and she exceeded those expectations. She communicated by sending pictures of Ollie and Lilly lazing around or on an adventure so that we knew that they were happy and in good hands. It made missing them while away a bit easier. In addition, she asked thoughtful questions about the house before we left on our trip which we found very professional. We would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and have her pet sit again.”
