About: I’ve always had dogs when it came to growing up. My family thought it was only natural to have them! I grew up living amongst 5 Great Danes. I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds! I’ve had dogs that weigh almost twice as me, and dogs that can fit into purses. I have over 10 years of experience with reactive dogs, since my pittie is very selective of other dogs. I have over 15 years of experience with puppies and training them as well! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday. 6:30-2:30. After that, I’m available for the rest of the day to let out, walk, feed, and take care of any pets. On the weekends, I am fully available, all day and all night! I care for my pets like they’re my own babies. We don’t have a fenced in yard, but I have one dog that is off leashed trained, and the other that must be on a leash at all times. Which means we go on walks around the property daily! I have an entire room dedicated to the bunnies, and the cat gets the whole house, along with the dogs.

About: I have loved animals my whole life. I’ve had animals around since I was in diapers. I rescue them to this day! I have three rescues in my home and I provide top notch care, just read my reviews. I treat everyone’s pets as my own. I’d be happy to care for your furry friends Anyday!!! I’m a stay at home mother of a two year old boy. I have plenty of free time to take care of my home and animals and your animals too! It would be easier for everyone for me to watch your pets in MY home or do drop ins at your place. I have a separate area for cats. My dogs typically roam upstairs and the cats play downstairs in their own little sanctuary. I like to make sure every one is comfortable <3 I have a large yard for dogs to run around in and a small dog run area that’s fenced in. I’m open to keeping your dogs inside my home that way I can keep a good eye on them but if they want to hang out in the yard that’s fine too. I do enjoy going to the dog park so if that’s okay with YOU then I’m open to that which is right around the corner from my house (lucky me:) I’m very experienced with use of kennels for training too. I have a lot of experience with all animals and that gentle nature they’re attracted to.

“Jamie was an absolute lifesaver. We needed a sitter for the day on short notice and she was very accommodating. Very polite and professional. The dogs absolutely loved her! We highly recommend her and will definitely be using her in the future.”


About: My boyfriend and I have always had animals in our lives. Growing up he lived on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, pigs etc. and I have had dogs and cats my whole life. We currently have 2 beautiful Great Danes, a bunch of rabbits, outside kitties, and a chinchilla! Our dogs love people, small animals, and would love a bigger dog to run around with. We would love to cuddle with your fur babies, go for walks, or just play in the fenced yard! We currently work 4 days a week leaving Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday to watch and care for your animals. My boyfriend is an early riser and I’m a night owl, so you’re pet will have plenty of time to get the care they need. We have a 2 story house with lots of room for them to lay around and have their own space if needed. We also have a large backyard that is fenced off already for our dogs.

“Danae went above and beyond when sitting for my dogs and cat. She sent pics to show me they were doing well, and I could tell they getting lots of love while we were away. She even went the extra mile to comfort my dog that is scared of storms. I would highly recommend her and will most definitely use her again!”

Your pet's health, safety and happiness is my top priority and putting your furry family member first I own my own business specifically tailored to providing the best care for your pets, equines, and livestock. I am available 7 days a week and at a minimum try to book out at least a week in advance aside from my weekly clients that i see regularly, however I also work Monday through Friday from 830am-430pm I believe it is important to care for your family member in a stress free environment, and because of that i do not offer services in my home but instead i travel to you and provide services to your family member in their home where they are most comfortable and at ease.

“HIRE CHRIS. I won the lottery with him. It was my first time using Rover. I have a special needs rabbit who needed a caretaker after a rabbit boarding service was no longer available. I messaged several sitters and Chris was the first to respond. He is responsive and communicative. What I absolutely love about Chris, among many things, is that he asks questions. Not in a "what do I do" kind of way. Rather, "how do I do this to make sure it's done correctly". My special needs rabbit is on a specialized diet. I left Chris with instructions, which he followed to a tee, but he also sent a photo of the food. (My rabbit is feed very soft, watered down pellets and Critical Care due to recent dental surgery). I'm happy that he did because my rabbit can't chew on pellets. He sent lots of photos of Moo, too. Chris was also flexible with the initial meet 'n' greet appointment and visiting my landlord's office to pick up my front door key (which has to be loaned out). One of the reasons I chose Chris was his close proximity to my apartment. I will 5000% hire Chris again for my rabbit sitting needs. He took great care of my very special needs rabbit and Moo liked him too! I recommend him for your pet sitting needs, including small mammals!”

About: With five-years experience I have worked with a variety of pets that include: small animals; such as hamsters and guinea pigs, small and large breeds of dogs, and cats of all ages. I'm currently working a full-time job Monday through Friday 6:30am to 4pm and Saturdays 6am to 11am. I am available during the evenings starting 5pm and on Sundays.

Proper play, some lite grooming, and a variety of other services are provided in my care.

About: Hey everyone I'm Ella and I've always had a house hold full of pets. Growing up my parents allowed a wide variety of animals to stay in our home. I love animals so much that I'm going in to a career field that is dedicated solely on the help of marine organisms. I currently live with a dog, cat, bearded dragon, leopard gecko and a ton of fish. So basically I can care for any pet needed. I work part time so I have a ton of free time on my hands. I’m trying to find better ways to spend my time rather than always going out. Hanging with any pet is always so fun and usually a better time then going out to begin with! Each pets different, all come with special likes and dislikes. I usually love to take dogs for walks but some may not be able to walk, and in those situations I like to do mind puzzles. For pet sitting I’d come over to the clients home and spend a few hours with them unless it’s a sleep away care. Pet walks would last min 30 minutes just to give the dogs some fresh air longer than normally done during days.
