“Joyelle was amazing! She was a pleasure to meet and we felt completely comfortable having her stay in our home and care for our puppy. She sent tons of pictures and kept us updated each day. I’m quite sure she left our home cleaner than we left it! Highly recommend using Joyelle!”

“Kerian was wonderful! She communicated very well and was very responsive to texts. She provided updates throughout her stay as well as pictures! Our pets were very well cared for and happy!! We will definitely be using her again!!”


About: Hello! I have had experience pet and dog sitting since I was 15. I have taken care of animals ranging from pigeons to bunnies to dogs and cats to horses. I have experience with old and young, as well as experience with animals needing medication. I personally have three cats and a XL dog, so I am comfortable with any size critter. I work at a school so I currently do not have work during the summer. I am available all days. There maybe some days where I am out and about, but I will still be available to check on them during the day and stay with them at night. I will not be available to bring them to my home, as we have a pretty crazy house with extra critters, however I am able to stay in my clients' homes. I can easily adjust to your pet's daily schedule — whether that be daily walks, medication, or scheduled meals. Staying in your home, I am also able to do things such as collect mail, water plants, and just care for your home as well as your pet.
“Tanya was great! Penny, my golden doodle adored her. We got frequent updates and updates and pictures of Penny. My house was spotless when I got home. We will definitely ask Tanya to watch our Penny again!! Thank you Tanya!❤️”

“Cari is absolutely amazing! She is warm and conscientious and took the time to get to know our cat and dog with their various quirks! Great communicator. I did not worry about the pets for the entire trip! Not only was she great with the animals, she took care of the house and even folded laundry/sheets we left in the dryer.”

“Tiffany was great! She was very attentive to Dexter, taking him for walks and making sure he was fed per his schedule. She was very good at communicating their activities and very respectful of our home. I didn't worry at all while we were gone.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Rebecca during our vacation. She took great care of Kane and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Kane was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable in her care. We would absolutely book with her again.”

“McKenzie is the most organized and conscious person we have ever booked through Rover! From our meet and greet where she brought a notebook for notes. The dogs love her, she has the best personality and very trustworthy. She get me updated with photos , and even took care of our ten chickens. I cannot say enough greats things about her. My dogs were happy, my house looked like she was never here and kept Ed me informed. Thank you McKenzie! I will rebook her”

“Sharron is AMAZING. She was great to work with; she gave regular updates, spent quality time with my dog, and was a great communicator! I will definitely rebook her services in the future.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for over twenty years. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and hamsters. After graduating from high school, I managed a dog hotel for three years while going to nursing school. My friends and family have relied on me to feed, care for, play with, walk, and bathe their dogs. I am also a registered nurse with my Master's Degree and work from home. I have a six-year-old, 9lb female chihuahua of my own, and I also foster for Ruff Start Rescue. I work full time from home Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. I am available in the afternoons to care for your pets and on weekends. I travel occasionally, but I will adjust my calendar as needed. I live in town and have a fenced-in yard. I can accommodate as needed and according to you and your dog's preferences. I do not crate my dog at home, but she is dog-friendly.
“Brooke did an amazing job with our anxious dog, Pepper. Pepper can be wary of new caretakers, but Brooke was able to read her body language fluently and gave Pepper the space she needed to warm up. By partway through the day, Pepper was curled up right next to Brooke on the couch - snoozing away!”

“Jessica is nice & she is good with Dexter! Takes him for walks and everything. She worked during her stay, which we agreed to, but she was gone a little longer than I expected based on her work schedule. Otherwise, she was good with Dexter and left the house in good order when she left.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and raising animals, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and an understanding of different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with animals and my dedication to their happiness, whether that means playtime, walks, or simply giving them the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is already a part of my daily routine. Between feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with my own dogs, I’m used to giving animals structure and attention every single day. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening walks, pets are always the center of my schedule. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space where they feel welcomed as part of the family. I stick to regular feeding schedules, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their routines as closely as possible, whether mealtime, walks, or bedtime, so pets feel secure and stress-free. My goal is to always create consistency, comfort, and trust.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16. In high school, I worked at a dog daycare for 3 years where I was a manager and handled up to 30 dogs on a daily basis. These dogs varied in breed and behavioral characteristics, and it was my responsibility to ensure they were cared for and safe. I followed strict procedures regarding meals, safety, and potty breaks. I’ve also been a go to dog-sitter for friends and family for the past 3 years, staying in their homes taking care of their pets and following the provided instructions they left for me. My tasks as a dog sitter have included feeding at designated times, playing with them, and letting them out regularly. I’m currently between jobs and have a seasonal coaching job (ends in May) so my schedule is very open except from 3-5:15 M-F due to my coaching responsibilities. My flexible schedule allows me to take care of your pups and give them the time they deserve. When taking care of your pups or kitties (for overnights or drop ins), I love being given specific care instructions to ensure that there isn’t a change in their routine. Furthermore, if house sitting, I want to know and abide by your homes rules to be respectful to your space.
“Our pups gave her a hard time during the storms, but Jenna was great! She sent pictures & videos of our pups. This was our first time having a sitter stay in our home & we’d definitely have her back. Thank you again Jenna 😁”

About: I love dogs and have a fenced in yard for them to play. 🐾 I am knowledgeable about dog behavior and recognize signs of illness or distress.

I can accommodate to ensure your fur babies routine is maintained and their needs are fulfilled. I have a fenced in yard and lots of space inside my home for pups to make themselves comfortable. In my home, pups are welcome on furniture and will receive lots of pets and playtime. I will maintain a safe, clean, and loving environment environment for you pups. ♡
About: Hello! I’m Erin, I am a 20 year old female. I have owned dogs my entire life and love how relaxing it is to walk them, I also get frequently asked to walk/ dog sit for my family and friends! And don’t worry if your dog has a little more energy than others, I also love to run! I am also very patient with dogs and I think it’s is cute to watch them sniff around and show me where they want to go, I am very patient with older dogs and don’t mind slowing down:). I have very open availability during the week days, I am willing to travel, and would love to meet your puppy! I am currently a part-time waitress, only serving on the weekends. My week day schedule is pretty open, I enjoy going to the gym in the morning, but if needed I can set that aside:) When I dog sit/ walk my friends and families dogs I make sure to follow there instructions very thoroughly, every dog is unique in there own way:). And with dog walking I make sure to never let them off the leash and I try to avoid interactions with other people, you never know how a dog will react and it is better to be safe than sorry!

Kerian was wonderful with my 16 week puppy. She did an overnight stay and she communicated with me starting when she arrived until she left. She sent texts to update me and sent the cutest pictures💕. She made me feel very comfortable. The puppy and my house were perfect when I arrived back home. I would definitely recommend Kerian.

Kerian is fantastic to work with! She did an amazing job house-sitting and watching our 2 dogs, both which have some special care needs. She also did great with our one dog who is part Chihuahua and can get an attitude sometimes, that did not dissuade her at all. She also keeps you updated during her stay and sends the cutest pictures of the pups! We are already planning to use her again in the future for a longer trip!
