“Ashley has been great with my pup while I work long hours. She’s very flexible and always makes it work with my schedule. She gives great feedback and updates . Will continue to use her services.”


About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was ten. I am comfortable with cats, dogs, snakes, gerbils, lizards, and fish, and any combination of them! I am currently a full-time college student, but I am on summer break, so I have lots of time to help care for your pets! I have stayed at a variety of houses for pet sitting, including houses with and without fences. I am always cautious to leash the dog if needed before going outside. I am very gentle and quiet with animals, but I have owned a Jack Russell Terrier / beagle mix for over ten years, so I know how to handle high energy dogs.

“We are so happy to have found Samantha on Rover. She is super nice, responds quickly to inquiries, arrives right on schedule and, most importantly, is great with our beagle. Five stars!”


About: I have taken care of all sort of animals my whole life. I know how to deal with their temperaments and stress. I’ve never lived without having dogs and I am always the type of person to take a dog in that I find from the street. I have dealt with strays so I don’t just have experience with well trained dogs. I have also watched over peoples dogs for a while and I started walking dogs since I was 9. My grandma had a community that she lived at and I loved dogs so much that I would walk them for free. My passion for dogs will never go away. I currently work front desk at a hotel. I work Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I am able to walk dogs those days but only before 1 pm. Thursdays and Fridays I am totally free. And depending on the location, I can also do Saturdays. I currently have 2 dogs and they get walked once a day during the night. I also feed them a little differently than usual. I include green beens into their food as well as other healthy powdered ingredient so they are getting the right nutrition. I am fine with watching dogs at the clients home or mine. The only problem with my home is that I already have 2 dogs of my own. So the dog would have to get along with other medium sized mutts. When I have taken care of pets in another persons home, I like having a specific list so I know what’s best for the dog. I’m able to abide by any rules and I don’t mind if the dog needs extra care. I am up for it.

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life! We’ve had many different breeds of dogs growing up (Australian shepherds, a Jack Russell Terrier, Beagle, and mini poodle). I’m also the go to pet sitter when my friends and family go out of town and have watched Golden Doodles, an American Bully, and Yorkie’s. I have experience with different breeds, sizes, personalities, and ages! :) Currently, I work part time (3 days a week) so I have a ton of morning/afternoon availability to care for and play with your pups! :) I’m able to do a variety of tasks in order to help take care of your fur baby :) I am able to walk your fur babies during the day, as well as feed them, bathe them (if needed), play with them, and just check in on them. If there’s any service I didn’t list that you may need, just ask and I more than likely am able to do it :)

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I find joy training puppies and older dogs (if they'll allow me to of course). I enjoy being outside more than inside and being able to see the doggos smile just for being outside. I'm a flexible mom of 2 whom both play sports, travel and for their school. I adjust my time around my families schedule which gives me a lot of flexibility during school hours and most evenings. I will care for your animals as if they were my own. As a mother, nurturing is something I love to give to those who cannot speak for themselves. I believe all animals play a very important role in all families whether it be service animals, friendship, to travel buddies.

About: I grew up with a black lab, Macey and a Chihuahua mix, Tootsie and took care of them from when I was young until around the age of 16 when they passed away. I also regularly dog sat 5 dogs at once- all with specific needs, diets and medications before the family moved away. I am comfortable with high energy dogs, I will happily administer medication, and we have 2 acres of fenced in land for your dog to run and play! I am a flight attendant so my schedule varies- usually I work 3-4 days a month and they are never the same. Request and I’ll accept if I’m not flying that day, but other than occasional work I’m pretty much always home! We are not an available to dog sit Sunday mornings but afternoons and evenings are free. I would love to have a dog but because I’m a flight attendant I know I couldn’t give it the consistency and love it would need- however, on days I am home I would LOVE to have a furry friend to play with. We would be happy to host your dog(s) and let them run around our fenced in back yard, explore the barn, and roam the house. We only accept dogs that are good with children and that are potty trained. We have a large kennel if your dog is crate trained and you would like us to use it, but as long as it’s good with kids it’s free to explore. We can administer medication, give treats, and share lots of love and we hope you’ll trust us with your beloved pups ❤️ P.S. my favorite breeds are corgis, labs and golden doodles :) but I’m not picky, all dogs will receive equal love 😉

About: My name is Jordan Harris and I am an animal lover hoping to be able to make a difference in you and your pets life! I have worked with animals in my daily career for the last 10 years, beginning as a kennel technician in a large boarding facility, working in doggy daycare, grooming, and basic obedience dog training.

I currently am a Clinic Office Manager at a veterinary clinic where we care for cats, dogs, and exotic pets. After working in boarding for so many years, I understand that not all pets do well in a boarding facility. I am hoping to offer families and their pets the peace of mind and comfort for your pet however I can, in your home. I currently work full time, 4 days a week. I am free on the weekends and would be more than happy to discuss my weekly availability. 🙂 I do have a 5 year old daughter that may come along from time to time; however only if necessary. If your pet doesn’t do well with children please let me know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly. I am comfortable dispensing medication/strict diets, and handling dogs with special needs such as behavioral, medical, etc. Tell me how your pet prefers their attention and exercise and we will do it their way!

About: I have owned both dogs and cats and taken care of loved ones pets for over 20 years. All sizes and breed. I started pet sitting years ago and have enjoyed it since. I currently work a few days a week and have evenings and long weekends free to spend all the time needed with your sweet pooch. I will make sure your dog is taken care of in their own home with the love and attention they are use to while you are away. I have a flexible schedule to ensure your special fur family member is taken care of at the times needed. This will give you peace of mind and your pet a check in I will continue the routine your pet is use to in their environment. We will take our time to smell the roses on our walks and time together.

About: My family has had dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up caring for and loving on our own dogs, as well as taking care of family & friends’ dogs of all shapes and sizes. I love breeds of all sizes & am very comfortable with large dogs. I’m currently job hunting so my schedule is pretty free, other than some days off for traveling to visit friends and family.

She’s our go to dogs-sitter (and babies-sitter at the same time) when my husband and I go for a date or out of town. Every time she comes over, our dogs wag their tails and very happy to see her. We are comfortable of her watching our kiddos (paw babies and hoomans) anytime if need to. Sherrie is extremely knowledgeable and is our go to person if we have any questions or need an opinion about anything pertaining to dogs. She provides such a wonderful, thoughtful, and caring service...you can't get that just anywhere. Our family is blessed to have her in our lives.”
