“Stephanie was amazing!! Highly recommend her, my dogs loved her and I was able to leave out of town knowing my dogs were in good hands. She gave great updates and pictures throughout the walks, we will be booking with her again.”

“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my cat! My cat is kind of shy and she warmed up very quickly to Elizabeth. Photos for the visit and communication via texts were great too. 👍”

Angie N.

“Kat was absolutely perfect and I couldn't recommend her more highly! Excellent communication, lots of photos and details, always right on time, and so wonderful and attentive with my challenging cat. She made a long time away from my cat so much easier and anxiety free knowing she was on top of everything. I will 100% use Kat again in the future, she did an amazing job!”

About: I’ve spent most of my life caring for dogs and have personally trained five dogs with different personalities, needs, and learning styles. Over the years, dogs have been much more than pets to me, they have been members of my family. That experience has given me a deep appreciation for how differently every dog communicates, learns, plays, relaxes, and builds trust. I’m especially passionate about canine behavior and body language. I pay close attention to the small signals dogs use to communicate how they’re feeling, whether they are excited, nervous, overstimulated, curious, playful, or simply in need of some quiet time. I believe good pet care starts with understanding the individual dog rather than expecting every dog to respond the same way. While I am not a certified dog trainer, I have substantial hands on experience with training, positive reinforcement, routines, boundaries, mental stimulation, and everyday dog care. I believe dogs thrive when they are given a healthy balance of affection, structure, exercise, enrichment, freedom, and clear expectations. My current dog, Charlie Girl, is a 2 year old Boxer/Hound mix with an incredibly happy and social personality. She has responded exceptionally well to training and has reinforced how much I enjoy working with dogs, learning from them, and helping them feel confident and secure. Caring for her every day includes walks, training, play, mental enrichment, affection, and plenty of time to relax and be part of the family. I also understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that decision easier by treating every dog with patience, attentiveness, and respect for the routines and boundaries their family has established. I enjoy providing regular photos, videos, and updates because I believe clear communication helps owners feel connected and confident while they are away. Ultimately, I want every dog in my care to feel safe, understood, engaged, and genuinely welcomed. Seeing a dog relaxed, happy, and comfortable is something I find incredibly rewarding, and I want to provide that same peace of mind to every family I work with. Caring for dogs is already a central part of my daily life, and I am committed to making pet care a dedicated part of my work. My 2 year old Boxer/Hound mix, Charlie Girl, has a daily routine that includes walks, training, mental stimulation, play, affection, and plenty of time to relax and cuddle. I bring that same level of attention and involvement to the dogs entrusted to my care. Because I am intentionally dedicating my time to pet care, dogs staying with me are part of my day not something I simply fit in around a busy schedule. I enjoy being actively involved with them throughout the day through play, enrichment, positive reinforcement, companionship, outdoor time, and exercise. I believe daily walks are important for both physical exercise and mental stimulation, and when appropriate for the individual dog's age, health, routine, the weather, and their family's preferences, I aim to provide up to an hour of walking and outdoor exercise each day. I also know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else. Communication is a major part of the service I provide, so I enjoy sending regular photos, videos, and updates throughout their stay. I would rather communicate too much than leave a family wondering how their dog is doing. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable second home where dogs can relax and enjoy themselves while their family is away not an environment that feels like being placed in a kennel. I have a comfortable home with a fully fenced yard where dogs have room to play, explore, enjoy supervised outdoor time, or simply relax. I take a calm, patient, and structured approach to caring for dogs. I believe dogs thrive with a healthy balance of affection, freedom, exercise, positive reinforcement, and clear rules and boundaries. Structure should help a dog feel secure and understand what is expected of them without taking away their opportunity to be a dog. Understanding canine behavior and body language is especially important to me. I pay attention to the smaller signals dogs use to communicate whether they are excited, uncertain, overstimulated, uncomfortable, ready to play, or simply in need of some quiet time. Every dog has its own personality, history, routine, and comfort level, and I believe good care starts with respecting those differences. Charlie Girl is a happy, social dog who genuinely enjoys connecting and playing with other dogs. Even so, I never assume that two dogs will immediately be comfortable together. Introductions and interactions are handled thoughtfully and supervised, with each dog's behavior and comfort level determining how quickly they progress. I also make it a priority to follow the routines and expectations established by each dog's family, including feeding schedules, sleeping arrangements, walking routines, training cues, boundaries, and other care instructions. Consistency can make being away from home much easier for a dog. Most importantly, I take the responsibility of caring for someone else's dog seriously. These animals are members of their families, just as the dogs throughout my life have been members of mine. I want owners to leave knowing their dog is being watched closely, treated with patience and respect, given meaningful attention and enrichment, and welcomed into a home where their safety and well being come first. Regular photos, videos, and checkins are part of that commitment so you never have to wonder how your dog is doing.

“Aimee was wonderful! She cared for mine and my husband’s two cats while we were away. One of our cats is known for not being so friendly towards strangers, but she took to Aimee right away, which gave me a lot of reassurance. She provided excellent care for our cats and I hope she is available again next time we need a sitter.”

“Andrea was great! Quick to respond and very flexible with scheduling! Also my normally very scared cat was a big fan which is always a good sign”

About: I’ve owned both dogs and cats in the past, as well as walked neighbors and friends dogs! Moved to a new city so looking for new pups and cats! Currently have a full time job but find myself in one place most of the day so looking for ways to stay active! I’m available most weekends, and week day nights! I like to keep a clean space so am sure to clean up after animals, as well as have a safe space for them to play, eat, and use the bathroom!

“I HIGHLY recommend Svetlana! She is absolutely wonderful with our cat, who can be a little feisty and needs lots of play and attention. Svetlana does a wonderful job taking care of her while we’re gone and making sure she gets all of the exercise and attention that she needs. We were gone for 10 days at one point, and often our cat will break out in dermatitis when she’s stressed, and even after 10 days, she showed absolutely no signs of stress which I 100% contribute to Svetlana’s care and attention. Svetlana also brought in our mail, charged cat toys, and took wonderful care of our home while we were away, giving us daily updates and photos. I could not recommend Svetlana more!!!”

“Took care of my 2 cats for over a week. Very attentive and communication was very good! She definitely gave me no worries and I knew my cats were in good hands when I went away. Will definitely be using her services again!”

About: Since I was young I have always been surrounded by dogs. From puppies to seniors. Since I was the oldest of the family, the responsibility to care for the furry friends was mine. Daily. I have my own dog. She is a husky mix named Sarabi. I adopted her when I moved out of my parents home and had her since college. I currently live in a two bedroom duplex with my partner. There is a yard as well. The park is within walking distance and some local shops nearby are dog friendly.

“Holly is awesome! I was nervous leaving my guys behind because one of them is due for surgery very soon so there has been recent eating changes. It was crucial to have someone help me out with having Greysito eat. Holly was on top of it all for each visit! She sent sweet pictures of my guys playing, getting pets and simply being cute. I’m grateful to have her help me with them with feeding them, scooping the litter box and simply showing them love! I don’t travel often but Holly will be me go-to Rover sitter from now on! Thanks Holly!”

About: I’ve had/taken care of dogs since I could remember, I currently have two male dogs & two girl cats. I used to work at WAG Hotels, which is a hotel for pets. I’ve also volunteered at Bradshaw Animal Shelter before and that’s where I adopted my sweet boy Brent. I love playing fetch with my dogs as well as taking them on walks. I’ve had experience with puppies and senior dogs that require medication. I’m currently working full time at Costco. My shifts are 4am-1pm so I’m available after 1:30pm. I’m available on Sundays mornings and evenings. On Saturdays I can be available after 3pm. I live in a home with a big backyard which is fenced and the front yard is also fenced. I have a spare room that I use to keep my puppy while I’m away at work that can be used for a guest pet.

About: We have a large fenced yard and 2 playful pups that loves making new friends! Dakota (female 1/2 Australian Shepherd 1/2 Lab) and our other dog Azalea (female standard poodle) are big balls of energy so we are frequently going on walks and to the park. When it gets too hot, we keep Dakota, Zelle, and friends inside to relax on the cool hardwood floors. We both grew up with dogs and love them in all shapes and sizes :) I work from home full time so they have my attention all day long:) We will not keep your pet locked in a cage, our goal is to make sure you pick up a tired pet! Check the calendar for availability. We can't wait to accommodate you and your pet! I currently work from home so I can provide full attention all day! I am frequently letting my girls in and out to sun bath and relax inside. Since I am home all day, the dogs are usually by my side when working. When the weather is nice I let them out to play in the fenced in yard. We also have a large kennel that is completely shaded all day if your pup enjoys being outside like mine do.

“Jazmin was amazing checking in on Lucy! Followed all care instructions I had left for her. She was very communicative and sent me so many update pictures/videos of Lucy. Definitely recommend booking with her as a dog sitter!”

Melissa K.

“I have a pretty high energy golden pup and Rich did a great job with her. He took her on a long walk then came back to the house to play a little fetch with her. Remi had a great time with Rich. I will definitely be using him again!”
