Krystal was absolutely amazing! We have 2 dogs between 50-60 lbs each. We were gone for a week during the coldest time and Krystal was fantastic. She was able to walk dogs an hour each day and always sent updates about the weather, how they were doing, and feedback on the walks. She also sent pictures. She was great at very communication and really understand dogs and their behaviors. I highly highly recommend her.

She is on time and she treats my fur baby as her child. I will keep using her. My dog loves her. Is very a sweet and caring person. She does more than just walking my baby. She helps my husband out as well. I would highly recommend her. If you want someone to treat your dog like family she is the one. I just love her.

About: Dog enthusiast, belly rub expert, and treat dispenser extraordinaire. If there’s a pup within a 10-mile radius, I’m probably their new best friend. I’m a professional at fetch, tail wags, and making every dog feel like the VIP they are. Let's trade dog stories or just go on a walk — I’m here for all the wagging moments!" Taking care of your pet would be easy for me as my schedule is super flexible and I can’t think of anything better than taking your fury loved one for a walk or giving them the loving they need! I would treat them as if they were my own and make sure they are well taken of! Your pets are welcome in my home! I have a perfect couch for all the pet cuddles and I keep a huge stash of dog toys that I wash regularly. I have a beautiful park across the street and a fenced in yard!

This is my second dog that Brittany and Branson have cared for. This time it is a very energetic Cavapoo named Wyatt. Brittany is always prompt, notified me of any concerns and leaves a full update of her visit and a few pictures. Wyatt is always in a great mood when I come home and obviously was well cared for and had some fun too!!! Couldn't be happier with his care!!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. For the past 8 years, I’ve been the proud pet parent of two wonderful dogs who are a big part of my daily routine—I play with them, make sure they get plenty of exercise, feed them nutritious meals, and, most importantly, give them lots of love and attention. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve also volunteered with a local rescue organization, helping homeless puppies find loving homes. I’ve fostered dogs and kittens in need, giving them a safe and nurturing environment while they wait for their forever families. This hands-on experience has taught me how to handle a wide range of temperaments and needs with patience and compassion. I’m available on weekends and most holidays, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pup, including visits to your home if needed. During the week, I work a regular 8–5 job, but I make time in my schedule to provide consistent care. I can stop by for potty breaks and walks in the morning before work, around lunchtime (around noon) if needed, and again in the evening after 5 PM. Your dog’s comfort and routine are important to me, and I’m happy to work with you to make sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they need throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet—whether it’s in my home or yours. In my own home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment with secure spaces where dogs can play, relax, and feel comfortable. I’m always mindful of keeping anything unsafe (like cords, small objects, or toxic foods) out of reach, and I never leave pets unattended in risky situations. When caring for a client’s dog, I follow their routine closely and keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, needs, and boundaries to make sure they feel safe and loved. Whether we’re on a walk, having playtime, or just cuddling, your dog’s well-being is always my focus.

About: Growing up I lived in the country with cows, horses and chickens next door. We always had many cats and dogs because we had the space and they just knew we would take them in if they didn't have a home. I wish I had the space now to have more animals but since I dont, it would be an honor to take care of yours. My experience with animals would be having a cat that needed shots daily for diabetes, a blind dog, dog that had seizures, taking care of friends and family's pets. Some which needed daily medicine or had a lot of energy : ). I ppreciate the trust they have in me to take care of their fur family members. Each pet, like humans, have their own personality.

About: I’ve had pets all my life. My family is full of animal lovers and know they can rely on me if they need someone to care for their pet for any reason. I have experience with end of life care for cats, administering pills and fluids to cats, and feeding cats by mouth with a syringe. One of my cats has asthma and takes pills to manage it. I have experience caring for my sister’s chihuahua, and caring for hamsters as my sisters and I had them as pets growing up. Petsitting is my main job at the moment, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m normally available for house sitting both weekdays and weekends, however I do have my own obligations and pets of my own to care for, so I must be able to leave for ~4 hours at some times. Due to this, I am not always able to accept requests for constant care (meaning pets who cannot be left alone for more than an hour or two, as an example)l. I spend as much quality time with my clients as I can, giving them plenty of love and attention. I love cuddling with them if they’re cuddlers and using their favorite toys when I play with them. I cannot take on higher energy dogs to care for, as I cannot keep up with them enough to give them the stimulation and exercise they need to thrive.

About: I am a pet trainer and pet service provider experienced in working with puppies, rescues, seniors, and some special needs animals. I have cared for and shared my life with dogs for nearly 42 years. I was an educator at the college level for over 20 years. I worked in a Kennel for 4 years and started my own training and pet service 3 years ago. I have experience in administering medications, and am comfortable doing so according to your specific instructions. I have 4 dogs of my own, all of whom are therapy certified. We did bi weekly hospice visits and also visited residents in a local nursing homes until the COVID Pandemic. I understand the needs of dogs, and your need to know your pet is being well cared for in your absence. Young, old, big, small, I love them all! *Unfortunately, I am severely allergic to cats. So I am not able to accept requests for homes with cats. I am a retired educator, now a full-time artist, so my schedule is my own; allowing me flexible availability to assist you with your pet care needs I am happy to do drop in visits to check on your pup(s), day stays, overnights and extended stays in your home. I do not currently offer boarding or doggy day care in my home.

About: Animal welfare is a passion of mine. I've had one animal or another since I was a child and am pursuing a career as a professional dog trainer. Dogs are definitely what I know the most about. I have experience with senior, special needs, and even nursing mothers with newborn pups. I've also fostered and worked for a shelter before. If there is something you are struggling to train your dog that you would like me to try my hand at while they are in my care, I would be more than willing to get more practice in for an extra charge! I look forward to working with you all! I work from home so have a flexible schedule. The only conflict usually is kid school pick up and drop off. After 9:30 am or after 3:30 pm usually works. My dog is dog-friendly and while maybe a little overwhelming wants to play with cats not eat them. I can muzzle and crate train as needed.

Stacy was wonderful with our pug, Brutus, who is 1 1/2. He is full of energy and likes one on one attention. She gave him full attention and was tired when we came home. Small miracle!. Thank you so much for loving our Brutus like he was yours. He is our baby and we trust him completely with Stacy.

Jaymee took care of our dog and 2 cats while we were on vacation. In the past the dog had gotten sick “pining” for us, this time it didn’t happen. Jaymee exercised the dog, and played with the cats, fed them, kept the water fountain clean etc while we were gone. We will definitely call her again when we need her!

Before going to rover for my pet care needs I got Michelle’s card for Puppy Loves Pet Services. I recently got 2 shepskys puppies wasn’t sure how I was going to handle two puppies at 8 weeks old (also being a single mom of two children 2 & 8). Michelle just recently started training the puppies at my house which makes it so convenient for the kids and me. the advice and knowledge that she gives to us each week is amazing the kids are learning every week something new that they can teach the dogs and be involved. Michelle is so patient with the dogs and the kids and myself because before her we were lost on what to do never really professionally trained other dogs I have had in the past . I highly recommend Michelle for all of your dog needs you won’t be disappointed.

She used to help care for a special needs dog named Rome when she lived in St. Charles and was really good with him. Taking him for walks, giving him attention, training him, giving him treats. Rome learned what "kennel up" means from Celosia and would willingly go into a kennel when she would say "kennel up." She currently has a dog with her friend Jon named Dingo that is also special needs that they care for together. He has anxiety issues and she & Jon have taken great care of him. They bring him to dog parks, they brought him a thunder jacket, they've cuddled with him during times he's been super scared. If you are looking for a reaponsible and loving dog caregiver with experience caring for all types of dogs including special needs Celosia is your gal.
