About: We are excited to be back watching dogs after maternity leave. We have always had dogs growing up and quickly got our own once married. He is 7 years old and we love going on long hikes, to the lake, and settling down for some evening snuggles! We have two little girls who are obsessed with dogs and ready to play! We have watched dogs through Rover for 3 years now and absolutely love the experience! We are currently a stay at home mom/ remote workers so I would be home with the pet all day except for a few hours at a time if we go to run errands. Your dog will be in the home with us like our own pet! We only kennel if that is the dogs normal home routine Our yard is currently only fenced with a temporary 4 foot fence as we have just built our home so We can currently only take dogs who are safe being let out to the bathroom and to have supervised play time in that setting.

About: Growing up my family has always had dogs from seniors to full litters of puppies. Hiking and exercise have always been vital in our dogs care. Dogs who are house trained are free to roam in and out of the house during the day with use of a dog door and fully fenced 6ft fence outside with 0.5 acres to run around. I take my dogs on walks everyday and would love to include yours as well! Weekends work best for me. Home during the day for the summer months so I have plenty of time to love on your pup. I have a large fenced yard with two dogs who love to be active and play well with others of all sizes both inside and outside as they want.

About: I’ve had my rescued dog for 8 years and a rescued cat for 3 years. I love animals and treat my fur babies like family with all my love and company. I currently work from home, so I have lots of flexibilities to accommodate your fur family. I'm usually home with my pets except a few hours at a time to run errands. I have a medium sized dog and a cat at home. They are friendly to new friends. The backyard is unfenced, my dog enjoys running and sniffing around. Your fur-baby will have potty breaks in the backyard supervised and will have so much play time there.


“I appreciate Pamela's flexibility when it comes to scheduling. We change plans multiple times and she worked it out so that she came to our house. We appreciate her and she is our regular sitter now. I added a puppy this year and she tends to bark at strangers but Pamela dealt with it and my pups were content while we were done all day.”


About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have grown up caring for them, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m currently a part time nail tech and want to fill my time doing something I love. And if I can fill my spare time by spending it with animals I think my life would be complete. In a client’s home, I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, and play to keep pets happy and stress-free. Either way, I give each pet my full attention and care as if they were my own.

About: Hi, I'm Cassie! I'm so excited to begin this journey with you and your furry family member. As a lifelong dog lover, I truly believe every dog deserves love, respect, and quality care—and I treat each dog as if they were my own. With many years of experience, I offer dependable services including: Dog walking Feeding and administering medication Bathing and basic grooming Dog sitting (short-term or extended) Clean-up care Support with training and behavior I’ve worked with dogs of all energy levels and temperaments. Whether your pup needs a calm cuddle session or a high-energy playtime, I tailor activities to meet their unique needs. I also value ongoing learning—if you're facing a behavioral concern, I'm happy to research and work alongside you to find solutions. Training and structure are important to me, and I understand how vital it is to balance discipline with compassion. I'm here to help your dog feel safe, engaged, and well-cared for. I’d love to connect and learn more about your dog. Let’s chat soon! I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, but my flexible schedule—combining remote and on-site work—allows me to provide dependable care for your dog throughout the week. Your pet’s needs are important to me, and I’m committed to making sure they’re never left without care for too long. The longest your dog would ever be alone is approximately 6 hours at a time, and I always make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and settled before I step out. I’m located on a half-acre lot that offers plenty of room for your dog to run, sniff, and explore. While the yard is not fenced, your dog will never be left unattended. I’m always outside with them or have them securely attached to a long lead, giving them the freedom to roam safely. I make sure your pup has plenty of shade, fresh water, and anything else they need to stay comfortable and happy while outdoors. Whether they’re high-energy or just want to sunbathe, they’ll have a safe and enjoyable space to do it. When it’s time to rest, I offer both a large and a medium crate, depending on your dog’s needs. I'm happy to crate your pet if that’s part of their routine, or they’re welcome to sleep openly in our home with us—whatever helps them feel most at ease. I share my home with one medium-sized, well-behaved dog who loves meeting new canine friends. He’s friendly, gentle, and enjoys having buddies to play or relax with. I also have an outdoor cat who mostly keeps to herself and doesn’t typically interact with visiting pets. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first, and I’ll make sure any introductions are slow, supervised, and stress-free. If I’m providing drop in visits for your pet in your home, you can count on me to provide daily walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine closely and provide any additional care or accommodations you or your pet may need. My goal is to make their time away from you feel as normal and stress-free as possible.

“Laura helped us out last minute and always responded quickly. Loved the detailed reports with pictures so I can know exactly what’s going on and how my doggo is doing! Will definitely book again.”


About: I've had dogs most of my life. I have experience with senior dogs & I volunteer at my local Humane Society. They hold such a special place in our hearts, it's the least I can do to make sure they are happy & safe. I am available most days during the week & weekends. I can do early mornings, late nights, & everything in-between. I am used to juggling life & pets. I love to play with them, let them out to go to the bathroom & crate them back up (if needed). Make sure they have food, water, & is comfortable.

About: I grew up in a family with a variety of animals-cats, dogs, and chickens. I love playing and snuggling with all animals. We love animals! I’m currently a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to love on and play with your fur babies. My two kids are full of energy that they love to share with animals. I live in a quiet, animal friendly neighborhood. I have two kids that absolutely love playing with animals and will keep your fur babies active and happy.
