“If I could give Bethany more than 5 stars, I would!! This was the first time using Rover and also the first time leaving my dogs with someone that I had just met. Bethany made it very easy for us to be away for the weekend without worrying about my fur babies. She constantly kept us up to date on how they were doing. There was no doubt that my dogs had fun with her, and I'm pretty sure they were missing her when we showed up and she wasn't there!! I will definitely have her watch them again in the future😊”

“Thank you Christina for doing such a great job caring for our fur babies and our home while we were gone! We loved your constant communication and photos shared throughout your stay. I’m sure we will contact you again for future stays.”


About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have spent the last several years providing dedicated pet care for friends and family. My experience ranges from standard pet sitting to managing more complex care requirements, ensuring that every animal in my charge feels safe and well-attended. I am highly comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small to large breeds. Beyond basic care, I have significant experience assisting dogs with special needs, including the accurate administration of medications. In addition to my canine experience, I am fully equipped to care for cats and all of their specific needs. My background also extends to farm animals; I have hands-on experience caring for chickens, goats, pigs, and turkeys. If you have a multi-pet household, I am more than capable of managing several animals at once, ensuring each one receives the attention they deserve. I am available any day of the week for evening bookings starting after 6:00 PM. I understand that schedules can change unexpectedly, so I am open to last-minute requests and overnight stays within this timeframe. Whether you need an evening check-in or extended overnight care, I am committed to providing your pets with a high-quality, stress-free experience. While I do not offer boarding services in my own home at this time, I specialize in providing dedicated care within the comfort and familiarity of your pet's own environment. I am available for evening care (after 6:00 PM) and overnight stays, ensuring your home remains secure and your pets remain in their established routines. I believe that every animal has a unique personality and set of needs. I take extra care to be exceptionally gentle and patient, especially with pets that may be shy, senior, or have special requirements. Whether I am administering medication or simply providing companionship, my priority is to move at the pet’s pace to build a foundation of trust. When staying in your home, I treat the space with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean environment and follow all safety protocols—such as double-checking locks and ensuring fences are secure—to give you total peace of mind while you are away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pets are safe, happy, and receiving high-quality care.
“Allison was great! Sunni and Shadow took right to her, which does not always happen! She did a great job walking feeding them and giving them thier meds! Highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to look after thier furbabies!”

“Very kind, gentle, loving sitter! She always sent us pictures and updates and we felt very at ease with Ashley caring for our 3 large dogs. So glad there shenanigans didn't bother her or she was too nice to say anything. Highly recommend !”

“Chloe did a super job, pet and house-sitting while we were away. We had daily contact and she readily answered any questions or concerns. We are so grateful to know our pets were well cared for while we were away!!! Thank you Chloe!”
“This was the second time we hired Ben to watch our pups. Once again, we were very pleased with how our pups were cared for. Ben was communicative while we were away, and our home was clean and tidy when we returned.”

“Madison is a fantastic dog sitter! My three dogs can be a handful sometimes, but Madison was enthusiastic to care for them and kept me updated with photos throughout the house sitting stay. I travel quite a bit and it feels great to know that my babies are in trusted hands. I highly recommend Madison! :)”

“Very pleased that Jay was able to take care of my cat, MIka, while I was away. Such a good feeling to travel, knowing that all is well on the home front! Communication was top notch and the care he provided was excellent.”

About: I’ve always loved animals! And all my life I’ve always done something with them. Whether it be in boarding and daycare facilities-grooming-mobile grooming-volunteering at shelters all of it! I do have a job! But i always find times to care for those who trust me enough to give it. I’ve been doing this for many years so finding a just right schedule has been easier to manage! I personally like to schedule meet and greets before any overnight stay,dog walking,check ins ! Bevause that levels a ground of calmness and knowledge for the pet rather then showing up out of the blue. I always follow strict feeding protocols and make sure to communicate with the owners about how they expect things to be done for there furry friends.

About: I've always been the neighbor to care for neighbors pets when they are out of town. I've owned various breeds of dogs for 42 years and cats for 40 years. I love animals! I can help with the needs of your bird as well. I love overnights. Being retired, my schedule is flexible just let me know when you need me! The schedule is flexible I try not to work with animals after 10pm I can board pets in my home or yours. Wherever the pet is more comfortable. Pets are more "relaxed" in their own homes, but mine is available.
“Delaney was fantastic! Was available sort of last-minute and took excellent care of the pets and the house. When I got home, I honestly couldn't tell anyone had even been here, but for the fact that the pets were happy and healthy. :-) She sent updates and pictures, and I never had a worry. I look forward to having her here again.”

“Lauren is the sweetest, most courteous person. She’s loves on our girl, and leaves my house better than she finds it. She’s my first choice anytime I need we are heading out of town.”

About: I have loved dogs and cats since childhood. I have experience living with horses, cows, goats, sheep, chickens, dogs, cats and alpacas. I travel in an RV and can camp in your drive way for round the clock attention for the price of two daily visits. i am a traveling artist, doing 6 shows a year. I have an RV and can plan my schedule easily. My experience with animals as a farmer means I can handle just about anything, recognize a problem and work with veterinary experts. I can administer insulin and medications if necessary. Your pets can remain in the comfort of your home. With my Camp-in-the-Driveway service, they receive will lots of round the clock attention. I have barn sitter and dog/cat references available.
