About: I’ve always been an animal lover but especially dogs and have one currently. Your dog will get lots of love and attention with me. I have a beautiful home on the lake with a large yard that will feel like a vacation for your dog while you’re out of town. I have plenty of time during the week and weekends to be with your dog while you’re out of town. They can stay with me and enjoy the yard and lake or I can check on them at your home while you’re unavailable. I have one dog at home that is half husky, half lab. She stays out of a crate but I do have a crate if that is what your dog is used to. I have a run in my large backyard so they will get plenty of time outside and a lake for them to swim in if that’s their thing.

About: Hello. My name is Jasmine and I am an animal lover with twenty years of experience walking dogs and caring for their needs as well as for the needs of cats and birds. I have a genuine affection for animals and find that each animal has a unique and adorable personality. I treat every animal with the patience, love and respect they deserve and I enjoy being in their company. I am confident that I will be a great sitter for your pet. I have two cats and one small dog at home and they all get along with each other. My cats names are Peanut and Jewels and my dog’s name is Lulu. I also live near a dog park that is walking distance from my home so your furry baby will have lots of play time with us.

“Lianna was wonderful! I knew my fur baby was being well taken care of. She knew I was anxious leaving my baby so she sent me multiple pictures of every outing so I could see how Tessie was? She was prompt, fed Tessie and made sure she took her medicine everyday for her chronic condition. I highly recommend Lianna if you are in need of pet sitter/walker. I have already booked her again for my next out of town trip when I cannot take my baby.”


About: We have a 3+ acres fully fenced yard space. There is a tangiable metal mesh and wood, reinforced, fence AND a tandem electric fence that we can train your pet to if requested. Double saftey set up so that our own animals, and yours, can run free on the sprawling yard and play in various bushy "jungle gyms" :) We are experienced in caring many breeds, ages, needs, and types of animals. Open to any and all! Animals are our passion and we can take any situation and care request in stride, because we get it and have been there! I can fit my schedule around your pets needs!

We have several animal care professionals we work with closely. Including emergency vet services, terriers, groomers, and more. We understand what it takes to trust your fur baby to someone else! It's one of our own biggest hurdles and anxieties when we travel.

About: I currently have an Australian shepherd husky mix who has grown up with cats and is quite friendly. He would love to keep your pet entertained during their stay!

I'm available mostly on the weekends but I can accommodate overnight stays for your pets as well. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I have a fenced in yard that I allow my dog to run around in. It is filled with toys that he enjoys. He does not signal to me when he wants in, so I usually check on him every 5 to 10 minutes. I have a play routine with him outside as well. Wolfie is very friendly and loves meeting new playmates! He is more than happy to entertain them! We leave dry dog food and cat food out at all times. We also have a 2 gallon water fountain that we clean and replace the filter in on a weekly basis. Water is available at all times to ensure hydration.

With years of personal experience, including caring for a senior dog who lived a full 15 years and now rests peacefully, as well as raising my adventurous 4-year-old cat and my energetic 2-year-old dog, I bring dedication and compassion to animal care.

“Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion. I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.”


About: From the excited, to the reserved, to the elderly, I have a depth of experience to care for your animal kin. I've helped care for senior dogs when they struggled to walk down stairs, when food requirements changed on a whim, when the house has to be changed to reduce trips on tiles, and even when they can start wandering past bed time. It was not easy to care for them as puppies and it's not easy when they are elderly. But if one loves enough when they are babies, then they love enough to do the same as they are seniors. I'm between jobs and actively looking, so I have plenty of time to care for all your animal family members beyond a stop to fill bowls and empty boxes and the like. It all comes down to the first meeting. Not the first job. I want to know what you, your pets, and your house is like so I can do my very best to be attentive and observent in caring for them. This includes setting up a person emergency plan for common emergency care should it arise. Preparedness beats panic after all!

About: Rest assured that when you book a service with me, you will receive the utmost best care! I grew up tending my parents farm and we had plenty of cats and dog that lived with us. Growing up in this environment I know a lot about caring for animals. I am a very outgoing person who loves hiking, long walks to the park, and making homemade dog treats! I enjoy checking on cats and dogs, as well as providing plenty of play time. I’m a big fan of long walks on nice days! Safety is my priority! I have one pup of my own to keep yours company if you’d like. If not that’s okay too. She is a 20 lb shih tzu mix and loves to play! She is friendly with both dogs and cats. I offer all service options, from dog walking and check ins, to house and pet sitting.

“Absolutely fantastic! Caitlynn really took the time to get to know myself and my dog, and she was a dream to work with. I really appreciate all the work she put in, and my dog absolutely loved her. Can’t thank her enough!”


About: Growing up, I've had a couple of dogs. Our first was a mix (part husky, terrier, etc.) named O'Doolie who lived to be 16! I was young when we had her, so I don't remember her puppy years. Our other dog we had since I was in elementary school up to my early 20s was Dixie Lee. She was a Miniature Schnauzer and was the sweetest dog ever! I enjoyed bathing her, brushing her teeth, and giving her so much love and attention. My husband and I work together as landscape designers! During the winter months, our schedule is very slow. This provides us more time to engage ourselves in other fun and creative endeavors! Currently, I have an unfenced backyard. I live with my husband in a small home. In the future, we’d love to put in a fence— we have just found we haven’t needed to just yet!

About: I have many years of experience working with dogs of all sizes. Enjoy walking dogs. Will care for your dog and treat them as family. I’m able to take care of your animal during day, evening or even for overnight. I’m always walking dogs and pet sitting cats and dogs. I will follow instructions for what is needed. Will keep animals safe and ensure that any animals that are not allowed outside don’t go outside. I will play with animals, empty litter box, and ensure they are safe before leaving.

Kirsten & Mark O.
“Kirsten O. Has the greatest asset for caring for animals - she knows and understands how important they are in our lives. She is also a responsible adult, follows directions and keeps in touch as necessary for our comfort level to keep pets close when we have to be far away. I know this from personal experience. Recently life circumstances dictated a sudden change in my life and the lives of my menagerie of two horses, two dogs and four cats. We were able to move the entire herd for the winter with the exception of one cat. Kirsten O. Stepped up and cared for him for three weeks until we could return to collect him. I am forever grateful that she is in my life. And so is Grampy, the cat!! She is excellent with dogs from small to large, has a good work ethic and takes pet responsibility seriously. Thank you, Kirsten O for a job well done and hope it helps with your Rover career!”

Abigail S.
“I met Abby when she found my dog running loose on the road after a break out from our yard! We weren't even at home but thought that our greyhound was safe within our fenced yard. Abby kindly walked her home called us and got her safely put in the house. Our dog, Allie, absolutely loves Abby, she recently stayed at Abby's house for several days while we were away and she was well taken care of and happy to be there. When you meet Abby you will find that she is great with animals, kind and responsible. I highly recommend her as a sitter and would never hesitate to leave my dog with her, I know she will take good care of Allie, and I feel so much better knowing that my dog is in a loving home rather than a kennel!”


Carrington D.
“Cari is exceptional with animals. She’s a devoted fur-mom to her several kitties and it shows in how she cares for someone else’s fur-babies. Cari knows that our kitties and pups are not “pets;” they are family and require love, affection, and detailed attention. She’s bent over backwards to rescue several animals over the years because she knows their lives are precious and valuable. She’s also experienced with providing medications to kitties with special needs. Any animal is safe in her hands. She’s helped me several times when I didn’t know what to do or how to handle breed-specific behaviors too. There’s no one I would trust more with my babies than her!”
