“Robin made an instant connection with our pup Stella. We were sent photos of their time together and Stella was very happy. We highly recommend Robin to watch your fur baby, they’ll be in good hands.”


About: I have volunteered for years at animal rescues. I am well experienced in pet care, especially good at giving medication. I'm caring, loving and attentive. I have a six year old daughter who will not be caring for your pets, but is very respectful, well behaved, gentle and loving towards animals. I am self employed from home so I will always be around. I have one six year old girl who is well behaved and very loving and respectful of pets. I care for them in my home, which is cat friendly and clean. No outdoors for cats. I am always home so they'll never feel lonely.

“Tony was wonderful with our dog, Louie. He kept in regular communication throughout Louie’s stay, which gave us peace of mind. We felt comfortable and confident leaving our dog in Tony’s care and would use him again.”


“This was our second time trusting Marcela to watch all 3 of our big dogs! (Shes the only person thats ever watched our dogs..ever!) And we are SO happy with her♥️ She sent multiple videos every day, wrote silly things that happened and took super good care of them! They ran and played, met other dogs and she kept them on their regular schedule. We love her!!!!”



“We boarded our Australian Shepherd with Janessa for a few nights. She put our mind at ease with taking great care of him in her home. He was already very comfortable during the meet and greet in her home. She communicated well, and sent photo updates to let us know how he was doing. You can tell she’s very experienced in caring for animals, and loves them as her own. Her dog Max and cat Ollie is very friendly, and played well together with my dog. We would highly recommend Janessa for hiring her for your pet sitting needs. Thank you Janessa!”


“Tina was AMAZING with our girl Quinn! She was loved and very well taken care of! She treated Quinn like she was one of her own! Tina provided daily updates and pictures! We would HIGHLY recommend!! Definitely will be using Tina again!”


About: We've always had one or more dogs in our household. We absolutely love animals and love socializing our pups. I have frequently cared for friend's and family's pets during vacation. The more the merrier! I work remotely in the home Monday though Friday and am available for frequent potty breaks, snuggles and play time as well as long walks around the neighborhood. We have two friendly fur babies, a 10 year female Boxer and a 2.5 year old American Bulldog who love playing in the yard, house and long walks around the neighborhood. I also have an exercise pen if you have a smaller dog that needs time alone to relax from playing with the other dogs.

“Brittany is amazing! I am so happy I found her to watch my pup! I have an 11 month old golden retriever, and she loved Brittany and her sweet dog Lucy. She sent me update pics and kept me in the loop. Definitely making her my first choice every time. 10/10 recommend :)”


“Shawna and her family were so great with Fusilli! We will definitely be bringing our dog back again! They have tons of space for your family pet to run around and have a great time!”


About: Whether it be in a time of need, vacation, or work related I understand that we all need a helping hand sometimes when it comes to pet care. About me: I grew up on a hobby farm in the middle of the country in the Midwest and have grown up caring for animals my whole life. I have had many dogs through the years and have experience with obedience, leash, and potty training. As well as senior dog care relating to gentle care and medication needs. At this time, I have two young children and a senior dog at home that love other animals. I would be happy to help out with any of your pet care needs. Availability: Currently, I work part time from home so have flexible availability. I spend most of my time outside working, gardening, and playing with my dog so I would love to have more pet friends visiting or me traveling to your home for a visit. I am available Monday thru Friday all day and some weekends. My Yard: My yard is safe and secure. I have a privacy screened fenced yard with a medium senior Labsky to keep your pets company. If your pet requires a crate we can discuss these needs as well. We have a clean, pet safe home to keep your pet comfortable while you are away or needing extra help.

“Megan was awesome! I would leave Jordan there anytime! She was very responsive and sent pics! It gave us peace of mind knowing that our dog was in good hands while we were away ?”


“Jessica and family did an awesome job caring for our fur baby Nessa. She had so much fun, I don’t think she really wanted to come home ? I would highly recommend Jessica as we are new to the area, she was an absolute blessing for us to find!”


About: I have rescued dogs and cats for 35 plus years. I have a huge heart for pets with fur or feathers! Pets r my world. I am 54 years old and pet care is all I do! This isn't just a job... it's my life to care for loving animals. I walk and play pets and treat them as if they are my own. Pets love my care and will go home happy and relaxed.


“We had to find boarding on short notice and were lucky that Tammy was available that weekend to board our elderly dog. We were hesitant about leaving our dog with a stranger (we normally board her with our vet), but Tammy gave us a good impression, and we were glad we chose her. She was very polite and professional, and she sent us pictures of our dog relaxing with her kids or going out for a walk, which made us feel more comfortable about leaving our dog for the weekend. We were disappointed to learn that our dog had had some accidents in the house, but Tammy handled it without complaints, was very patient, and never had an unkind word to say about her. Overall, a very good first experience using Rover, and we would definitely consider boarding with Tammy again in the future.”


“I cannot say anything but high praise for my senior dog Chloe Nikita was wonderful and did everything which we discussed Chloe at night sometimes has accidents so just in case I put a diaper on her after her last walk Nikita sent me updates pics and videos which I thought was wonderful and thoughtful They don’t have pets themselves so of course Chloe got undivided attentionThey have two small girls that love Chloe’s company and I’m sure Chloe got spoiled I will definitely use them again”


“Mike was so, so helpful and great with Jill! It’s obvious that he loves animals and he kept us informed on how she was doing throughout her stay. We will definitely be asking him to keep her again.”


“10 stars out of 5 We found our perfect match with Starla, she has excellent communication from text, videos and pics daily. Our boys enjoyed their breakfast by the pool, lots of playtime, walks, snuggles, and tons of comfy places for them to nap, basically like a resort for our fur babies. Starla was also flexible which we appreciated with a delayed flight. We look forward to having Starla take of our pups again, we couldn't have spoiled them better. We are so appreciative”

Tifani B.
“I have been using Tifani for about two years now to take care of my male cat while I’m away. My cat is a little bit skittish, but not around Tifani. She is so good with him. She comes twice a day and feeds him and plays with him. She’ll even hang around sometimes longer just because she wants to be with him. She is a true animal lover, and my cat mittens likes her probably more than he likes me. She is extremely responsible and keeps me posted on how he’s doing. She even sends me videos of him playing with her. Tiffany would be an excellent choice as a pet sitter.”
