“Kimberly was amazing with our crazy dog! We just moved and he was a bit anxious, but he loved her! She even offered to sew up one of the things he tore up in his kennel! She is so sweet and kept me informed on how my crazy little boy was doing while I was at work! I will definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, with over 35 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds, including dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, and fish. I currently have a 6 year old furry dog baby of my own, Violet, a Basenji/Terrier mix, so I fully understand the daily needs, routines, and personalities that come with pet ownership. In addition to my own pets, I’ve regularly cared for neighbors and family members’ dogs and cats - providing feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and always aim to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I work full-time from home, which allows me the flexibility to take breaks throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and check-ins. This means your pet will receive consistent, reliable care without long gaps in attention. I’m available during weekdays with flexible daytime scheduling, as well as weekends. I do my best to accommodate routines so your pet’s schedule stays as normal and stress-free as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every home with respect and follow all instructions closely to ensure your pet stays in a familiar, secure environment. I’m attentive to details like feeding routines, leash safety, and making sure doors and gates are secure at all times. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, adjusting my approach to match their personality. You can expect dependable care, clear communication, and regular updates with photos so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. :)

“Grace was amazing handling my German Shepard, My dog is sweet but can be intimidating. He is strong and will bark at other dogs on walks so I always worry a little if people will be comfortable walking him. Grace was awesome with him and put me at ease. I’m so glad I found her to help me out and would use her again!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care, patience, and attention I give every pet. I’ve been around dogs and helping care for them since I was 10, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I also currently have a one-year-old puppy of my own, so I’m very familiar with energetic dogs, maintaining routines, reinforcing good behavior, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s pet, and I always make sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether they’re playful and active or prefer a calmer environment. Pet parents can expect reliable communication, regular updates, and lots of photos for peace of mind. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I’m currently in grad school and work for a local school district, which means I have summers off and additional flexibility throughout the year. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends, and I do my best to accommodate different routines and last-minute needs when possible. Because I have a one-year-old puppy of my own, I’m already used to maintaining consistent feeding, potty, exercise, and play schedules, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve while their owners are away. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they can feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay on their normal schedule with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of each home and always keep pet areas clean, secure, and safe. Because I have a one-year-old puppy of my own, I’m very mindful about supervision, consistency, and creating a positive environment for animals. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: Hi, my name is Maddie, I’ve been caring of animals for as long as I can remember! I have watched friends and families dogs over the last several years, as well as taking care of my own dogs and cats since I was little. I am constantly around animals and dedicated to making sure that every animal feels comfortable, safe, and loved and I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine ☺️ With my current job, I have a lot of flexibility. My shifts are primarily on weekend nights, giving me availability during the weekdays from morning to evening and I often have weekend availability during the daytime. I am comfortable with adhering to their needs and overcoming any challenges that may arise. I will provide a comfortable, safe environment for you and your pets.

“Caroline has been walking Frito twice a week for the past 6 weeks. Frito adores her and she is communicative, responsible, prompt and flexible. Also, when it has been cold out, she takes Frito for small walks (as I have asked) and then spends time playing with him and loving on him for the remainder of the time. When Frito was having digestive problems on one of her walking days, I contacted her that morning and she moved around her schedule to be able to give him an extra visit to ensure he was ok. I was so grateful and it gave me the peace of mind to leave him knowing she would be there to care for him. I knew he would be in great hands and that Caroline would communicate every detail with me. Not only is she great with dogs but she is just good people. If you are looking for a reliable, friendly, kind, dog person you need look no further!”

About: I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always follow routines and instructions closely. I am currently at home for the summer from college and pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day!

About: My energy to match each animal is above many other sitters. I love to stay active and go on adventures. Snuggle time and training time is equally important. If your pet loves attention, then we will be a great match. I worked in a Shelter/Daycare and loved every minute of it. I am currently taking care of 2 elderly clients in their home part-time and would love to fill my time with your precious family pet. I would be unable to take your pet in my home at this time. My preference would be in your home which is more comfortable for your pet. OVER 30 MILES TRAVEL +$10 EACH WAY.

About: I have always loved every different kind of animal out there, but spent my childhood with mostly just cats. 15 years ago, I adopted my first puppy, a German Short-haired Pointer, at the age of 8 weeks. My ex-husband and I decided to take the "treatless training" approach which was a huge success! Crate training, leash training, obedience training were all a collaborative effort and turned out extremely well. 10 years later, we adopted a sweet rescue named Gizmo who was already 7 years old, but became part of the family immediately. They have both passed on now to doggy heaven, but I am always the first to offer to care for other family member's pets anytime I can :) I'm currently working part-time from my home in Blackberry Creek and always have time for some fur-ball company. My 2 girls, 7 and 10 years old, are with me part time and are also very helpful, gentle and patient with our pets and hopefully yours! I have a fenced back yard with plenty of room for your fur-baby to play and exercise! If it better suits you, I can always come to your home as well for potty and play time :) UPDATE 6/8/26 - Since starting my Rover journey in 2022, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing pets and their wonderful families. Along the way, our household has grown and changed in ways I never expected. In 2023, one of my regular Rover pups (actually a senior pup) became a permanent part of our family. Tigger’s owner had rescued him from a Chicago Animal Shelter just months before I began caring for him. As a 100 lb. Staffordshire Terrier, Great Dane, Bully, etc. mix, Tigger was a big boy with an even bigger heart. His owner dedicated to helping him become the best version of himself, especially since he wasn’t always comfortable around other dogs. With patience, training, and love, he blossomed into the sweetest, gentlest giant you could imagine. When his owner unexpectedly passed away, her husband reached out to ask if I would consider adopting Tigger. My answer was immediate: absolutely. I couldn’t bear the thought of him returning to a shelter. Bringing Tiggy into our family was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My girls and I were lucky enough to love, spoil, and cherish him for three wonderful years before he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We miss him every day, but are so grateful for the time we had together. Since then, we’ve also welcomed two adorable brother cats into our home. They keep us smiling and full our days with plenty of fun and affection. While our family has grown, we’re excited to have some doggy energy back in the house through Rover! When your pup stays with us, they’ll be welcomed with open arms and treated like a part of the family. We understand how much your pets mean to you because we’ve experienced firsthand just how special that bond can be. Our promise is simple: we’ll care for your furry family member with the same love, attention, and respect that we give our own. I work from home full time, so am able to provide your pup with all of the attention they deserve. They are free to run around in the fenced-in backyard and play at their fullest extent! Every pet owner has a different perspective on how to care for their pets. Some require a special routine for dinnertime or bedtime, while others require basic care with lots of love. I will follow whatever instructions are given to me by the owner…and I promise not to judge 😊

“Shelly is awesome! She is considerate, kind and my dog loves her. He looks forward to her coming for his walk. Shelly works with you if you need to make adjusts. I would highly recommend her. You won’t be disappointed”
