I highly recommend Amy. She listens well and responds to the needs of my pet dog in a kind and supportive manner. She has a great and loving environment. She is gracious with any special needs. My dog Sierra recently finished her Spay procedure and was still recovering when Amy took on her care. She took all the necessary precautions. I am very happy to leave Sierra in the care of Amy just like I would with a good friend. She also took regular photos and provided updates on a daily basis. Your pet will be in good hands with Amy.

Aimee and Andrew have a huge fenced yard, a playful Doodle and 2 great kids that made me feel like Jackson was visiting friends, rather than just being boarded. I really appreciated daily updates and cute photos that let me know my Jackson was having a great time. Highly recommend to anyone needing a dog loving family setting for their dog when they travel.

About: Hello! My name is Samantha and I am 26 years old. I joined rover to earn some extra money while spending some time with furry (or non furry) friends. I have volunteered at local shelters and have watched the animals of my family and friends since I was about 10 years old. I treat each and every animal with the love, care, and respect that they deserve. I am very compassionate and take the time to tend to one’s animals as if they were my own. My rates are flexible depending on the animal(s), and the situation. I am able to flex my schedule around your needs! I work full time but I am able to work remotely if needed and can take breaks throughout the day if necessary. I often do not watch animals in my home due to my 5 fur babes. However, depending on the situation, and the animal, a short stay in my home may be an option. Hopefully I can be your next pet or house sitter. I have recommendations upon request. I am looking forward to speaking with you soon!!

Allyse is an amazing dog sitter. She was very friendly and attentive to the needs of my old dog. Her backyard is large, her dog is super sweet and her house is very comfortable. I really appreciated how quick and responsive she was to all of my questions. I would definitely use her services again, and would highly recommend her to my friends. Thanks you, Allyse, for taking such good care of my Eddy!

About: I have have multiple years of caring for people's pets. I was a professional housekeeper with my own business for over 20 years and also cared for their animals when they were away. I have been a long time pet owner myself and recently my fur babies passed away. I am looking to earn a little extra income as a senior while enjoying the company of animals. I am a senior and I am retired. Recently my fur babies passed away and I am looking to supplement my income while caring for people's pets. I really miss having animals in my home. I live in a senior mobile home park and I have a fenced in yard. I make sure that animals are safe, fed watered, walked and get plenty of potty breaks. They will get lots of love. I keep the yard clear of poop so that their environment is healthy for them.

About: I recently had two rescue heeler mixes. We competed in agility, and did herding, barn hunt, and parkour. I loved to hike, walk, run, and be active with my dogs. Now that they're gone, I have an open space in my heart for time with yours. I walk and run or hike several days out of the week. I'd love to bring your well-behaved dog along for their enjoyment and my company! Because I live up a steep gravel driveway, I prefer to meet in town or at your place to take your dog for a walk or run. But if they need to come to my place for sitting, I have a fenced yard with some agility equipment. I also have a dog door, to let them have free access to my .5 acre fenced yard. I do have a cat, so if your dog comes to my place, it will have to get along with her.

About: Ever since I was little I’ve helped out with the care of my own family pets and our neighbors and friends as well. I have always LOVED animals and I’ve never found a cat or dog that doesn’t like me. In my past I’ve been in charge of walking and exercising dogs, feeding and watering dogs, and providing an abundance of love! As of now I just graduated college and spent a month abroad in Europe. I am looking for part time work and my schedule is completely open (: I live in an all adult household on 6 acres of land. There are fenced areas where your animal could roam safety, and in the non fenced areas, I’m happy to keep your fur baby on leash and prevent any accidents. I will accommodate to anything your pet needs while they stay with me!

My dog, Gunner, really loved this place. He was able to roam the property with Garrett's sweet dog Zeus. He was very happy and comfortable being there. Garrett is great and he's very accommodating - our schedule was was in flux due to a swim meet. We will definitely come back the next time we're out of town. I can highly recommend Garrett.
