If I could leave a million stars I would!! Kara and her fam were absolutely incredible with Bubba and kept me updated as needed! I will be asking her back every time we leave!! It’s special to find people you aren’t concerned every second of the day hoping your pup is okay! The house was cleaner than we left it, so thank you SO MUCH Kara and family!

Kris did a great job watching our dog Maple at our house. He is very communicative, took her for daily walks, sent pictures, kept us informed, and left our house spotless. He responded quickly to any messages we sent him. I will gladly contact Kris again for future pet/house sitting opportunities and hope he is available.

About: I have had pets of my own for the past 38 years, since I was 12 years old. I also have a degree in biology and chemistry and have worked in animal hospitals and zoos. My husband, Scott, has had pets all his life. We treat our pets with the love and care that family members deserve, and we take our responsibility to them very seriously. Currently, we have a 2 year old black lab who absolutely loves all other animals, and a 14 year old cat who mostly sleeps in quiet, dark places. Our dog, Rosie, is always looking for new friends and is very submissive with them. She just wants to play and snuggle! Our children are grown and help with the care of them. Our house is full of pet lovers! We are very active and love to go for hikes, and we always keep dogs on their leash on the trails. We're happy to take your doggy to the dog park, as well, if you request it. You can have total peace of mind while your pup stays with us! I currently work part time and Scott, my husband, is a teacher and has summers off. I'm home a lot during the entire year, and we're both home on weekends. We have a fenced in backyard for running around and playing fetch. We have a large house and a fenced in yard where our dog, Rosie, loves to run around or playing fetch with us. We regularly go for walks in the neighborhood and hikes in the woods or on the beach. We love to take Rosie to the dog park, but will skip it if you're not comfortable with it. Scott is a teacher and has weekends and all summer free. Stephanie works part time, mostly from home and is at home most of the time during the week and is also available weekends. We have a large fenced yard and a wonderful Labrador retriever to keep your fur baby happy! We love giving dogs love and attention! We also love to take walks if that is something your dog enjoys.

Marg was great with my two dogs while we were out of town for a weekend with family. She was communicative and sent me a few photos and updates throughout the weekend. I could tell the boys felt comfortable with her! Thanks again, Marg.

Noah was easy to talk to, quick to respond, and made me feel very confident in Sisko's care. He sent pictures every day, as we agreed to, and sent extras if asked. My apartment was left in great shape and Sisko seemed in good spirits. Would 100% recommend, and 100% consider hiring for another stay.

Gina did a great job watching my special needs, super senior cat Bridget for a long weekend at my house, along with my 15 backyard chickens. Bridget is near end-of-life with multiple health problems including late stage Chronic Kidney Disease with neurological involvement, and she needs multiple daily medications by both the subcutaneous and oral routes to keep her comfortable. Gina provided me with many regular updates including photos and video, and was quickly responsive to my messages. Gina also called right away when Bridget started exhibiting unusual/changed behavior so we could adjust care appropriately. She made the best of a difficult situation. I recommend Gina for in-home pet sitting.

About: Hello, my name is Morgan and I have been around dogs my entire life. I currently have 2 corgis of my own. Working with dogs would be a great job for me because it would let me relieve some stress, while also allowing me to be able to help others! I love all dogs no matter what shape, size, or smell they come in. Thank you so much for your time :) I take care of my 2 corgis daily with walks around the neighborhood! They love to run out in the snow. They also get brushed often as they have a lovely (lol) double coat. I consider myself a neat and organized person! If caring for pets in your home, paws will be wiped down when entering and will keep the home tidy!

About: While your fur baby is in my care they get quality playtime, walks and love. I treat them like they are my own. You will also get daily updates and photos. Pet sitting is my full time job. This gives me plenty of time to play or walk your dog. I'm also able to do overnight visits, stays or boarding. I have a large yard and neighborhood to take nice long walks in. I also have a dog that loves to play and get along with others.

About: Hi, I’m Aubrey 👋 I offer calm, attentive, in-home pet care designed to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and completely at ease while you’re away. I specialize in multi-pet households and have a natural ability with animals who need a little extra patience—whether that’s senior dogs, shy personalities, or pets who are used to a slower, more grounded environment. • 10+ years of experience with a wide range of temperaments • Especially attuned to anxious, sensitive, or senior pets • Experienced with multi-pet homes and complex routines • Respectful, clean, and mindful in clients’ homes • Consistent updates so you always feel connected and reassured 📸 I’m not just here to “watch” your pets—I create a steady, comforting presence so their routine and emotional world stay intact. Pet care is a central part of my daily life, and I intentionally keep my schedule spacious so I can be fully present with the pets in my care. I prioritize consistency, calm routines, and quality time—especially for pets who thrive on familiarity and one-on-one attention. All bookings, communication, and payments are handled through Rover for ease and peace of mind 🐾 Your pet’s emotional and physical safety are my top priorities. I’m especially mindful with: • Senior pets who need slower pacing or extra care • Shy or anxious animals who take time to warm up • Maintaining your pet’s exact routine, environment, and comfort cues I approach each home with deep respect—keeping things clean, calm, and consistent so your pet feels secure and your space is cared for.

This was our first time hiring a professional dog/house sitter and it won't be our last! Steph was outstanding - responsive, respectful, and caring. She took great care of our 2 dogs AND our chickens. The house was in better shape than when we left and it was truly amazing to not worry about our fur babies while traveling. I would not hesitate to hire Steph again - Thank you Steph!
