“Nycole was very responsive and we scheduled a meet and greet. She took notes and both Chico and Teddy quickly adapted to her. During our vacation Nycole assisted my mom with our furry babies through the week. Both Chico and Teddy were always so happy to see Nycole. My mom and all of us appreciated the help. At the end of each visit Nycole sent us a visit summary and took several pictures. We will definitely rehire Nycole.”


“Amy took great care of our senior dog and was very patient as he warmed up to her. She provided multiple pictures each drop-in and left detailed descriptions of how our dog was doing, so we knew he was in good hands while we were away. We will definitely use Amy for our next trip!”


“Shelby took care of Mickey for a week. She followed his daily routine and kept us posted if there were changes, I.e. not going to potty when it was raining. Mickey gets anxious and sad when we leave, but Mickey was happy and evidently less stressed/anxious when we returned. Thank you Shelby!”


“Miranda was so great with Eddie! She clearly loves animals and sent lots of cute photos of him playing. She was also a wonderful house sitter, being super clean and going above and beyond by taking in the mail and letting me know when I needed new litter. She is super responsive and reliable- highly recommend! :)”


“My husband and I had Jasmine for an hour drop in to feed and hang out with our 3 dogs. She created a report card that individually explained what she & the dogs did. She provided fantastic details about each pup as well as many pictures of them! My husband and I felt at ease knowing Jasmine was there & trusting her attention to detail to provide what each pups needed.”


“Jen is very kind and very thorough. She clearly enjoys caring for animals. We felt comfortable the entire time we were gone because she sent us pictures of our cat enjoying her attention on each visit. We look forward to her help in the future because we know our cat will be happy and safe.”


“Heather was a godsend!! She pick us up after my other rover sitter canceled at the last minute. She took great care of our puppies and saved our family vacation.”


About: I often take care of my mom’s senior dog. He requires a lot of attention due to his health and getting around. I love to be an assistant to him. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and I am often free during the weekends. I can make sure I have enough time available for any of your needs. I live in a pet friendly apartment. I don’t live near any busy streets and can take a dog on a nice stroll around my neighborhood. I can keep animals in crates, if requested.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up on a farm and we always had three dogs around. I frequently pet sit for my friend's 60 pound Pitt-mix. I can give medication, and am good with puppies. I can patiently train or work with dogs who are learning the ropes. I can provide daily exercise when your dog is with me, and lots of snuggles! I work less than ten miles from home, so on most days I can pop in for a walk or potty break. I can board the same dog for up to two weeks depending on the situation. I can only take one dog at a time so your dog will get all the attention! I always follow the owner's wishes, and guidance on how to best care for their pet. I don't go overboard with treats, but I do go overboard with affection.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. They show us so much love. Who are we not to give it back in return. Since the passing of our long time dog (Roc,15) we’ve been watching our friends and family dogs while they’re out of town. In each case the owners return with their dogs a little hesitant about wanting to return home. LOL. I work from home and I have no plans of switching to another job that would require me to go into the office. Therefore, I have plenty of time to play with your big and little babies. I also like to take walks at minimum twice a day. This is a perfect time for your fur babies to stretch their legs. After a nice long walk I clean their paws to make sure they leave the yucky stuff outside. I have a designated area where they can sleep. However, I like to keep them close to me during the day while I’m working. I think it sets them up for a positive visit. They immediately become part of the family. I also have the flexibility to take them out throughout the day. There is a highly recommended veterinarian within a two minute driving distance and maybe a ten minute walk in the event of an emergency.

About: Welcome to The Hardy-Berndt Ranch! Our family adopted our first dog together shortly after moving into our first home. Since then, we have adopted many more, fostered almost forty dogs together, and love having extra heartbeats in our home. We even chose our current home for its dog-friendly neighborhood, large yard with multiple fenced areas, and plenty of space for visiting dogs to settle in and feel comfortable. We appreciate dogs of all sizes, shapes, breeds, and ages with a soft spot for shy dogs, big dogs, and seniors. Our resident dogs are friendly and enjoy a good romp with well-matched playmates. Dogs who enjoy the company of other canines will be welcome to visit in our home and be with our resident pups. Having fostered several dogs with challenging behaviors and understanding how important it is for them to be safe and comfortable, we welcome dogs who may prefer to be separate from others and/or enjoy the company of humans only. For dogs working on social skills and with specific training needs, our family will gladly discuss with you and do our best to reinforce the training you are working on at home. As you will see from our photos, we do have a dedicated "rescue room" devoted to canine visitors who would prefer a little extra space. This includes a private, fenced yard area connected so visitors can be outdoors without interacting with others if needed. Our household is committed to helping your pet(s) feel comfortable and receive the best possible care while you travel. We look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets! Our home life centers around our children and pets so we are home more often than not. Visiting dogs are a welcome part of our home life and the kids love meeting new canine friends (and seeing their favorites come back again!). We primarily offer care for dogs in our home. This allows us to integrate them into our routine when it works for them and their families.

“Maddalena was a great fit for our cat. She seemed to bond very quickly to the point Maddelena sent us video of their quality time spent together when she visited, rather than basically have our cat ignore her. In the past that has always been the case when we have others stop by to check in. We received photos each time Maddalena visited which made us feel better while we were away. Maddalena was very reliable and open with communication. We will rebook with Maddalena any time we go out of town in the future.”


About: I have worked with many types of animals my entire life. I spent my younger years working on a farm with lots of farm animals. I’ve worked with almost every kind of dog. I’ve also been pet sitting every since I was a kid for family and neighbors I have currently just moved and am looking to start taking new clients!! I am free everyday at almost any time currently! I always have my phone on me and am available. I would care for your pet just as if it were my own!! I would listen to ALL care instructions to give your animal the best care and to keep them comfortable.

“Percy and Darik were great with Baron while I was out of town! They were quick to respond and made sure I knew how Baron was doing and when they would be dropping in to take care of him. I appreciate all the love they gave him - he was in good hands!”


“Tegra is super sweet and I immediately felt comfortable into our home and trusting her with our little rascal Kitty cat. Assuming she accepts I'll happily use her services again!”


About: I’ve had experience of raising my two bassets from 8 weeks old- now one is turned 6 in April and the other turned 4 in December! I love dog cuddles, walks, and play time! I’ve even baby sat my aunt and uncles dogs for over 10 years now! I’m a crazy dog lover who likes to spoil them with cuddles and kisses! My weekends are free for dog sitting for longer stays at your place and I’m free after 6pm during the week for your nightly needs! Willing to spend the night at your place so your dogs are the most comfortable! My house is dog friendly but do not have a fenced in yard

About: I have had multiple dogs through out my life. During high school my family had 4 dogs in the house which were 3 Labs and 1 Bully mix. Since my wife and I moved out we currently live with our doghter, Nala. We also recently adopted our cat, Neo who is sweet and loving towards other dogs. I usually take my dog out during the morning around 7am to 8 am, during the afternoon after the dogs have breakfast, once again during 4 or 5pm, and then one final time before we head to bed around 8pm or 9pm. This is a daily routine for Nala and myself that we have stuck to since she was a puppy and works great for us over all. We usually walk around the block or play in the background as sometimes she doesn't need to potty and just needs that outside enrichment. I currently have a fenced yard for the back yard if the dogs do plan to play. The only part that is not fenced up is the driveway, but for the most part Nala and I do walk so that she can get some steps in and also so she won't poop too much in the backyard. If I am visiting your home I will come respectfully and walk your dog with Nala or without what ever your preference is and also give a detailed check-in of your dog to put your mind at ease.

About: Have owned all types of animals all my life and grown up with them. Always ready to meet a new friend and establish new animal relationships I work an 8-5 job with an hour lunch break. I can follow strict schedules and maintain flexibility. I can accommodate special needs. I am home most nights and weekends. missed pick up times may be subject to an additional 50 dollar fee and rescheduling of pick up I can provide love and care to your pet and a comforting environment. Playing with them and marking sure they are happy and healthy in different settings
