“You know how when you leave your dogs with someone else for the first time, you're never quite sure how it will go? Well, we didn't really feel that way with Lisa. From the first contact to the end of the stay she was friendly and accommodating. She did a great job keeping them in their routine and handling any unforeseen doggie accidents (like throwing up on the kitchen floor!). Our home seemed cleaner than when we left (a miracle) and our Labs were worn out. We could not ask for more. I'd be even more complimentary, but I want to make sure she's available for the next time we need her ;) Seriously, though, Lisa was wonderful!”


“Crystal was amazing with our furbabies. She sent pictures throughout the day to us while on vacation and was very responsive on keeping us updated day by day. She made sure our babies were loved and well cared for. Highly recommend her for future clients and definitely will be using her again. Couldn't thank her enough for staying the week and making sure cooper got his insulin injections and meals in time”


“Genesis was fantastic. When we got home it was clear our dogs were well stimulated and given lots of attention while we were gone. She responded on very short notice and exceeded our expectations!”


About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for animals. I specialize in overnight care, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'm experienced with senior pets who need extra attention and gentle care, as well as energetic puppies that require structured routines and basic training reinforcement. Whether it’s administering medication, sticking to special diets, or just offering extra cuddles, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine, and I make it a priority in my schedule. I’m available for overnight stays during the week and weekends, and I plan my days around the pets I care for—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication. I maintain a calm, consistent environment to help pets feel secure, and I give updates regularly so you know how your pet is doing. I’m flexible and can adjust to meet your pet’s usual routine to keep them happy and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I create a calm, secure, and familiar environment by following your routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’m always mindful of safety, keeping doors, gates, and potential hazards in check, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I provide regular updates with photos and messages, so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. Building trust—with both you and your pet—is at the heart of how I care.

“Lee was really great! He was very affectionate and attentive with our boy. He watched our dog for a week and he had anxiety diarrhea a few times, which was most likely a complete disaster on the carpets. Lee did his best to clean it up. We could tell he really tried to get it clean. The house looked great when we got home and most importantly our dog seemed happy and healthy. Your pet and or home will be in good hands him. We highly recommend Lee and will use him again in the future.”


“Michelle did an outstanding job taking care of not only my pet but my home. Would recommend and will be contacting her again to take care of my dog which I believe is the highest compliment. Thanks, Michelle!”


“Rosalind took care of my dog while I was out of town. She kept me updated on how he was doing and made sure he had all his medication. He seemed happy and well cared for when I got home.”


“Jerry is an excellent dog sitter and in my own house. I couldn't have picked a better person for Roux. I received pictures of Roux everyday and she looked so happy. I would like to send Jerry a hardy Thank you”


“Riley is absolutely amazing!! She stayed with our dog for 4 nights and took the best care of him. She took him to dog parks and on hikes! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!!”


About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. They have been a big part of my life. I always love getting to meet and play with new dogs! I have cared for and walked many family and friends dogs and now I want to expand my knowledge and experience!!! I have also been working at a animal shelter for 2 yrs so I have lots of experience with all types of dogs, big or small, rambunctious or scared. I love cats as well and have taken care of quite a few but I don't have a lot of experience with them. I am willing to sit with and care for pretty much any animal!!! I have also completed 2 different behavior classes through my shelter and I'm working on a third right now for dog playgroups. I'm currently only working 4 days so I have 3 days im available! I try my best to work with every schedule and I am willing to take off work for a day or two if needed but I have to have at least a 2 week notice. I do everything from potty breaks, feeding, medication, daily walks near or away from clients home (park walks), playtime alone or with other dogs, ECT.


“Kimberly was amazing! I had her watch my 2 pups while I was on vacation, and was nervous because I’ve never used rover before. She kept me updated the entire time I was away, spent a lot of time with my dogs, and sent many pictures! I was relieved to have someone that truly cares watch them. She also went above and beyond, and made sure my house and sheets were clean for me when I got back. Would 100% recommended her to anyone”
