“Chelsea was wonderful, we booked her last minute after a family member became ill and could not sit our dog, Kenzie. She stayed over night and sent pictures and updates. I felt very confident leaving our home and dog in her care. Will definitely use her again.”


“This is the first time we’ve used Rover, and Luie was amazing!!! Really wish we’d given it a try sooner. Our two labs were very well cared for while we were away for the weekend. Luie supplied steady pictures of their feedings, potty breaks, walks and them lounging in the evenings! We will definitely be using his services on repeat!”


“My husband and I had the absolute blessing of meeting Kara when she cared for our furbabies, Brynn and Storm, when she recently stayed a full week in our home. They loved her and were comfortable with Kara right from the start. Kara is friendly, tenderhearted and affectionate, so no wonder they loved her! She was wonderfully responsible in everything. We really look forward to having Kara care for our furbabies again and again!”


“This was our first time using Rover and Lydia made it such an easy and wonderful experience for us. We came home to a clean house and very happy pups! We have issued other pet sitting services before but we’ll for sure be using Rover, and hopefully, Lydia again.”


About: I have volunteered at the SPCA for three years, taking care of small dogs, large dogs, and even cats. I even take care of people's pets in my neighborhood. Currently fitting pet care into my daily routine is no problem at all. I am a part time college student but I don't go back until the winter. I stay at home full time so I will be able to spend all day with your pet. As far as pets go, I have a very friendly lab mix named Kaya and a cat named Snickers. I also have two leopard geckos named Mushu and Yoshi. Kaya is fed twice a day, morning and evening. And Snickers is a grazer so he eats whenever he wants. I have a fenced in yard which Kaya adores. Whenever other dogs come over I let them out into the yard so they can run around and play. The yard is about half an acre and the fence is 4 and a half feet tall.

About: I treat every pet like family and make sure they get the same love and attention they’re used to at home. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies who need consistency and training reinforcement to senior pets who may need extra patience, slow walks, or medication. I focus on keeping routines consistent, giving plenty of enrichment and exercise, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. As a teacher and parent, I’m already used to having a structured schedule and balancing responsibilities. Pet care naturally fits into that rhythm—I start and end my days with plenty of time for walks, play, or check-ins, and I’m available after school hours, evenings, and weekends to give pets my full attention. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so it never feels like “extra work” but rather a rewarding part of my week. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They have a safe, comfortable space, plenty of playtime (fenced yard), regular walks, and lots of love and attention. I make sure their routine—mealtimes, potty breaks, and exercise—stays consistent so they feel at ease. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep everything as close to “normal” as possible. That means following your instructions carefully, maintaining feeding and potty schedules, giving walks, playtime, and cuddles, and keeping their environment clean and safe. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel loved, secure, and well cared for until you’re back.

About: I have had multiple cats and dogs growing up. My parents still have multiple cats and dogs and I currently own two cats. I have had many experiences caring for other people’s pets as my family has offered pet sitting and in-home visits throughout the years. I love all animals and enjoy taking care of and spending time with them, playing, talking with them, etc. I have experience working with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. Dogs will always have a fun time and enjoy their walks and/or play time with me. Both dogs and cats will get plenty of attention and care needed during in-home visits and dogs will during boarding or daily stays! As an animal lover, I look forward to helping out and providing great care for your pets! You can always feel comfortable and confident with your pet in my care! I look forward to working with you and your pet(s). Teacher & coach at a high school so August-June I am only available on weekends & school breaks. I have much more availability, especially during the week, in the summer months! Your pet will be provided with daily love, exercise, fun, conversation, and relaxation. I will be adding more to this section as soon as possible!

About: Pets have been such a major part of my life. I grew up with dogs and cats all my life and love spending time with all animals. I enjoy taking the dogs for walk and enjoying the fresh air. Loving and caring for animals is a part of my life and something i enjoy doing. I care for animals as if they were my own and will do what is needed to make sure you pets are taken great care of. I want to make sure i meet all of your expectations and make sure you and your pets are happy. I strive to build bonds with the animals and understand the pets as best as i can.

About: I will treat your babies the same as my own. Our animals are our family. Growing up, I had fur siblings. They may have had four paws, but they still got birthdays, they still got a Christmas stocking, and if someone got a sweet treat, they did too. I think I am different, but my whole life, I have looked at animals more than just that. They are companions that we love for part of our lives, but we are an entire lifetime to them. They love unconditionally and deserved to be given the same. I went from being 5 and taking naps with my family's lab, to riding horses by 10, to volunteering at the shelter by 12, groomer by 19, and certified in behavior, nutrition for cats and dogs at 22. I love animals. My commitment to always wanting to learn more about them and give them the best possible care, sets me apart. I am currently not working, and I have a 5-yr old son full time. He will be going to school in the fall, but I am looking for something to be able to do until them. I have a very open schedule. Your home will be treated as you left it, unless your fur child says otherwise which I will happily document and send to you in the moment. I want to create an environment that I am your fur babies' best friend, so when you are not home, maybe they won't miss you too much :)

About: I have spent my entire life caring for dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, birds and pocket pets- my own and as a professional. I have 38 years as a pet care professional as a dog trainer, vet tech, groomer and am a faculty member of the Holistic Actions for Animals foundation. I have offered in home pet care for over 20 years and am the author of The Everything Dog Obedience Book. I am self- employed with a lot of flexibility to accommodate different schedules and needs. My passion is helping people and pets understand each other. My 2 dogs are very friendly and well- socialized to all other types of pets and people. As an experienced trainer, I can help manage your dog’s energy productively with walks, play, training and mental stimulation.

Elizabeth C.
“Libby has been my next-door neighbor for approximately six years and she regularly watches my two dogs; a german shorthaired pointer and a dachshund. I travel frequently for work, but when I’m gone I know I NEVER have to stress about the dogs. Libby is attentive and reliable, and she genuinely loves animals. Libby is also an exceptional communicator and problem-solver. If I forget to check a box and leave her all the of tools that she needs, she figures out how to do what’s necessary to make sure my boys get what they need. She goes above and beyond, and I’d recommend her above anyone else!”

“Alex was wonderful with our three dogs who can be very hyper. We highly recommend her services and appreciate all of her extra effort and professionalism.”


Jennifer B.
“We have known Jennifer for over 20 years. She has an extensive background in training and behavior correction for dogs. Jen was able to help us keep our rescue dog when everyone told us to euthanize him due to his poor behavior. With Jen's help and techniques we were able to keep our dog until he died of old age at 22. Jen has a lot of patience and has a calming effect on dogs. I would not hesitate to employ Jennifer for any job related to dogs. In fact she is now helping us train our new puppy.”
