“This was our second time using Deanne and both times we gave her challenging circumstances which she handled exceptionally well!! This time…Our daughter was getting married so it was a busy and important weekend for us. One of our dogs was several weeks out from major surgery on both legs, on several medications and restrictions as well as needs for exercise and assistance. And, to add to the challenge she started her first heat cycle just as we were leaving and couldn’t have her therapy that week to help with her mobility and pain as a result . One of our other dogs has major anxiety issues so transitions can be hard for her as can simple things like noises and walks. Deanne handled all of this with ease and professionalism and Her updates were timely and helped us to enjoy the wedding without worrying a bit about the pets. We returned home to very happy pets. Deanne does an awesome job as a house and pet sitter and we wish there were more than 5 stars to give her. She is exceptional!! We will always use her in the future!”
“Would highly recommend Michelle! She’s very communicative during booking and during the service. It’s wonderful to know our home and our pup is in such responsible and caring hands.”
“Jennifer was great! We have 3 dogs and a kitten, she stayed with them while we were at a destination wedding. I received pictures and updates. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog/kitten sitter.”
“Melissa always arrives on-time and ready to go. She keeps our pup engaged and even gets her to walk in cold weather! She makes going away so easy for us and confident that our pup is in good hands.”
“This was the first time using Rover. I could not be more pleased with the individual we picked when we chose Josh!!! He was readily available. He kept in great communication with us throughout the entire process from booking to his departure after watching our pups. He cleaned up and left house clean and tidy. Even kept the pups safe during a tornado warning. Cannot wait to book again with Josh!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Jack… His professionalism is top-notch, and his care for my two dogs could not have been better. He kept them on their routine with feeding and medicine, he was great, giving them daily exercise and care, and he just literally checks every box perfectly, and I felt lucky to have him as did my dogs”
About: I began doing pet sitting in 2016 for family & friends, and that was most of my sitting experience until I began my dog training certification. Now I’ve been in pet care professionally for two years, and have had my dog trainer certification for half of that. My weeks are based around pet care. I do it full-time and have a customizable schedule based around my various clients & appointments. I have special hours available at request. I make sure to get an exact outline of what is expected/allowed for the pet, and am not shy about requesting elaboration if there’s any confusion on my part. Additionally, I like to do what I can to keep them mentally stimulated with games, activities, and some light obedience training/reinforcement so they can hopefully carry that good behavior over to their daily life.
“We booked Jason for house sitting with our dog who has separation anxiety and does not do well in a boarding environment. Jason is great with our dog! Jason came into our house and our dog immediately migrated to him. Jason provided ample walks and gave our dog personalized attention. His wife Emily is also a dog sitter on this site and she has watched our dog too! She is also amazing! We will only be using their services for our dog! We love the husband and wife team!”
“I received multiple pictures of Maxximus and Lola and messages from Sarah while I was away. This reassurance allowed me to enjoy my vacation. She also kept the house organized for my return. Thank you!!!”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Shalynn care of our dogs, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. She was extremely professional, reliable, and showed a genuine affection for our pets. Shalynn followed our instructions perfectly and kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend [Pet Sitter's Name] to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Emily took great care of our pets and home while we were away! We came back after our trip to a clean house and happy pups and kitties. She is very responsive to messages and sent updates of the pets. I would absolutely hire her again!”
About: As an avid runner and walker, I love to get dogs out and about! At home, I have four chihuahuas and two cats, so I'm very comfortable with both big and small pets. My wife even calls me Dr. Dolittle because dogs tend to gravitate toward me. I would be thrilled to offer pet sitting and overnight stays for your furry family members! I have previously worked as a vet tech in a cat hospital and have been around both cats and dogs my whole life. Give me a call to discuss your pet needs, from quick visits to longer stays, I'm available whenever you need me. I work from home with a relaxed schedule, so am free most times of the day for whatever pet needs you have. I am able to be ready whenever you are. I have a fenced in yard and a park close by for walks. I have a fenced in yard and a park close by for walks.
