“Aubrey and Andy are super dog people…I left my 2 dogs with them over the weekend and they came back happy and tired! I got consistent updates throughout their stay which put my mind at ease. Highly recommend them.”

About: I grew up with different types of pets. Friends and family have relied on me to love and care for their pets when they need it. My job is pretty flexible with my hours. I am home on the evenings. And all day on the weekends. I will gladly give your fur baby lots of love. My pets are really friendly and will most definitely keep your pet good company. There's a dog park down the street from my house and my pets love it. I will gladly bring your fur baby along to have a good time!

“Shinechuluun and his family took great care of my dog Max while I were away for Christmas. He was prompt to messaging and flexible! Highly recommend his services.”


“I'm sad Haley moved, but she is a great sitter who always kept me updated with pictures and Bella loved her! Bella felt right at home so much so that she ate on her first night, which is rare when I'm gone.”


About: I've had dogs all my life and also fostered 11 dogs thru Good Shepherds Rescue. (if I could have, would have adopted all 11) Currently I have no pets so I am available to give 100% of my attention to your furbaby(s) 😊 I'm currently working full time during the week. I am available after 5pm - till 10 pm, Monday thru Friday and all day*** Saturday and Sunday-June 5th thru August 4th off, will be available 24/7***- just give me a call!! I look forward to meeting you. ( If you live close to WINDSOR AND ALPINE I would be available all week) *Note: no walks off property when we have ice/snow, sorry. I will come to your place to meet you and your furbaby, get all details as to what the daily routine is and follow that plus lots of love and snuggles. I have paid for and received a 3rd party background check.

About: I’ve had a dog in my life since I can remember. I grew up in a family that breed Rottweilers and trained them as show dogs. I have a love of all dogs, ages & stages. I have owned and taken care of dogs in all sizes, from hairless chihuahuas to Rottweilers. I currently own a 2 year old shetland sheep dog that I have trained to do both commands & tricks. I would be happy to help with basic commands if your puppy needs it. I would love the opportunity to help care for your furry friend in anyways that I can. My current role is very flexible! I’m available for weekend boarding as well as weekday overnights. I am opening to dog walking on the weekends as well. Since my husband and I have a dog, he is able to care for ours if I am needing to care for someone else’s! For overnights, because my job is flexible I am able to care for animals as much as needed. When it comes to boarding, we don’t have a fenced in yard but we do have a park down the street that I take our dog to and walk around the block! We live in a pretty quiet & safe neighborhood.

“Lukas was very easy to work with and flexible when our plans changed. Look forward to scheduling another time for our fur babies to hang out with Lukas and his family.”


“Carissa was absolutely the best! Taking care of 2 large breed puppies isn't easy, but she was so great with them! She really knows dogs, and obviously realized what they were capable of as far as mischief and issues with cats and other dogs but handled them perfectly with no problems. My dogs were comfortable with her, and well taken care of with her house. Not to even mention the beautiful yard! She was beyond generous with updates and pictures. She really went out of her way to reassure me that they were alright. (I was nervous!) I am so excited to have a trusted sitter, and Carissa will definitely be seeing more of my pups in the future!”



“Mary and her husband are absolutely wonderful caregivers! I received daily updates about my Ivy and they were very sweet, loving and caring with her. I highly recommend Mary to anyone who needs to be able to trust 100% that their fur babies will be well cared for!”


“If I could leave more stars I would. Ali is genuinely a wonderful sitter and is obviously a dog lover through and through. She took the best care of our Emma. Her communication is wonderful, we received plenty of updates and great pictures while we were in vacation. She has moved to #1 on our list of available sitters, no one else even comes close.”


“First time using Rover. Dysen was very nice and answered all of my questions. He was even willing to meet my pup beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. He was up and ready for arrival and helped me unload the kennel from the car. Pickup went smoothly, I changed the pickup time last minute so he wasn’t home but his family was and they were equally as nice and helped me load the car. My dog was happy and healthy when I got him back. Highly recommend.”


“I am so thankful for Lindsay being available so much on short notice to keep Maggie! She had a great night and Lindsay was fantastic with communication while she had her.”


About: I’ve been surrounded my pets my entire life and as of right now I have 3 dogs, 2 cats, and a bird. I love taking care of my pets and I hope I can help other people out too! I am currently a student at Saint Xavier University, so I can dog walk and do drop in visits everyday but I could only house sit from Friday-Sunday. In my home, we have a blind dog and to keep him from making a mess in the middle of night we put him in his crate overnight. With our other dogs and cats, we let them roam around or sleep with us.

About: I’ve always been surrounded by dogs as i’ve grown up and they are by far my favorite animal. I don’t have a job right now so i’m home almost everyday. I am a very active person so it isn’t hard at all for me to play with or take dogs on walks. I’m very passionate about animals, especially dogs. I’ve volunteered in the past with animal shelters and I have experience cleaning up after and taking care of dogs. I have even worked at a kennel before caring for dogs and cats. I also have experience with many other animals. I would be happy to take care of any dog and I believe I am great with animals. I currently work full-time Monday through Thursday as a nurse, I also have a 10 month old pup at home but would enjoy dog sitting Thursday afternoons or Fridays through Sundays as an extra job. I provide tailored care by feeding, walking, and playing with pets, ensuring their comfort and safety, and maintaining their routine while also offering updates to owners.

“Julia was awesome with our two girls. It’s hard enough to leave them and it helps to know they are loved and in good hands while we were away. Thank you, Julia!”


“Our babies spent a week with Meranda and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! They were right at home with her and it was obvious that she took great care of them. We will not hesitate to use her again!!”


“Chewie seemed to adjust well as shown by pictures and messages. It was nice receiving messages and pictures while out of country! I’m sure she felt more at home since there were kitties, which she is used to having at home. Thank you for accepting our booking as it was kind of last minute. Katie”
