“Jennifer brought our geriatric dog who needs to use a heavy ramp to get in and out of the car to and from our wedding. She was wonderful, prompt, flexible and navigated our giant venue. Jennifer made everything with Nyla flow so smoothly. I would love to book her again for anything dog related.”


“Jolie has been super helpful. She loves animals and cares about them. She also respects and meets pet owners' needs. I couldn’t be happier with booking her. She is taking care of my babies, and I will definitely work with her again in the future.”


About: As a farm kid, animals (of every variety) have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! Now I get to share that joy with my family, our playful pup, our cat, & even our hedgehog! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages - from energetic puppies to calm seniors & I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I understand how important it is to keep your pets safe & feeling the love. And I love sending photo updates so you never miss a moment of their fun! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I currently work from home & have lots of flexibility. I love having extra paws around to keep me company during the day & taking breaks for walks or cuddle sessions fits naturally into my schedule. Between working from home & chauffeuring my daughter to her various extracurricular activities, I can give your pets plenty of attention & exercise throughout the week! In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! I provide a safe, loving environment with lots of attention & play. Dogs who are social & cat-friendly are welcome to play with my own friendly dog & we have 6 acres of open space for well-trained pups to explore off-leash (always under supervision). The dogs who aren’t quite ready for off-leash will simply get to explore while leashed. Indoors, pets have cozy spots to relax & are never left alone for long. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine of feeding, walks, playtime, & any other specific instructions they need. I make sure pets feel comfortable & cared for while you’re away. I love sending regular photo updates so you always know how they’re doing, too!

About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager I had my childhood dog for 17 years, so I understand all the needs an older dog might have. I currently have a 5 year old Bichon/Llasa Apso mix who loves other dogs. Any dog coming into my care will always be treated like my own and given the love they deserve. I currently work from home and am a single mom, so day time care is pretty easy to fit into my day. My best days for availability are Wednesday and Thursday. I will also have a smattering of availability on the weekends I have a big fenced in yard and a 5 year old dog named Gus, who will love spending time with your dogs. There are lots of great walking paths around my neighborhood to keep your pet happy and acurve. All pets are allowed on the furniture or in bed at night but I do have crates if that is preferred.

“Thank you Taylor for helping take care of my cat while I was away on an international trip. She is trustworthy and consistent with her updates, and she communicates super well. Highly recommend Taylor-- I will rebook her again!”


“Our first time using Rover and we can’t say enough good things about Eric & Christine. They took such good care of our puppy! We are new to the area and we were hesitant to try Rover but Eric & Christine quickly eased our fears with consistent updates & photos. We certainly appreciate all the love & care they provided our young pup! Thanks again!”


“Hayley is awesome! She treated our cats exactly as we would have treated them - with kindness and gentleness. She spent some extra time petting them and getting to know them even though we had only asked for drop in visits. We would have her take care of them again in a heartbeat!”


“Laura came for a drop in visit for our dog, Ash for the first time. She was willing to meet him before hand and was very flexible the day of the visit. She even came a little early late notice! She was great with Ash who is a high energy dog. We would definitely book with her again :)”


About: Our first pup was a Golden doodle, Josie, who loved life until 12 years old in 2020. We took a year break and then choose our next love our Aussie doodle, Nova who is now 4 yrs old & is full of energy, loves cuddles, kids and other dogs and their toys 😊. I have been through the puppy stages to the end stages and new puppy stages again. I grew up on a dairy farm so dogs, cats, chickens, & lots of cows were the first animals I ever cared for. Once married and moved to the "city" it is when I first had to train an indoor dog for the first time. Our Golden doodle Josie was a gem & we love Nova just as much! I have an at home business so I'm flexible with my schedule. Walks, chilling in the sun on the patio, tossing the ball in the back yard are some our family favorite activities. Safety and respect for others is my highest priority. I am reliable and your pups will get the love, cuddles, belly rubs & active time they need.

About: I do a good amount of dog sitting a year for my family, friends, and colleagues. They rely on me to walk, feed, take out, play, administer medication if needed, and snuggle their loved companion while they are away. Most people love puppies and don't get me wrong puppies are great. But my heart belongs to middle aged and senior dogs. If you chose your dog to stay with me they would need to be potty trained. I am very organized and detail oriented. I am calm in an emergency and adapt to best fit the care your loved one needs. I also ensure to maintain consistent communication with my furry guest’s parents with updates and pictures. For reassurance I would want to verify proper information like; emergency numbers, preferred emergency vet, typical feeding and feeding routine, microchip identification, and places they like to go. I would need the fur parent to provide additional information on; Does your dog have any food aggressions? Is your dog crate trained or do they prefer to roam? I recently graduated with a degree as an Occupational Therapy Assistant, but enjoy being around animals. I am a big fan of the outdoors (usually above 40 degrees). I am very crafty, and love projects from painting, to making doggie bandanas! I even get the pets to join in on the painting process. Currently I am job searching. I am home most days and run errands when needed. Because I will be home, that means I can be one on one with your pet. Giving them all of the attention, cuddles and snuggles, and treats they deserve. I will also have a lot of flexibility, so I can go to clients' residences to let out, feed, play, walk your companion if you decide it's best not to change their environment while you are away. My home offers a safe and stable environment. It can be customized to ensure the best possible environment for your dog. I live alone on the 3rd floor of a condo building. It has access to both the elevator and stairs. A very calm and quiet space and no worries for unwanted dog interactions. There is plenty of space to utilize for dogs that are 30 lb or less to play and run around and if owens would like to bring their dog’s crate. In the area there is a great walking path. In my home your dog can sleep wherever it chooses! Whether that be on my bed, or in their crate. I want to make sure they are as comfortable as possible. When caring for a pet in my home I make it crucial to keep my home clean, decluttered and have all cleaning products off the floor and stored out of your pets reach.

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 6 years old and I've always had a passion for animals, so much so I wanted to make it a career path for myself. I have over 3 years experience as a veterinary technician and pet groomer, and am hoping to use that knowledge to help in this endeavor. As a pet owner myself I know that care and attention is important for pet parents, which is why I'm here, to take my knowledge and experience to ensure you animals get that vital care and attention while you're away. I am currently working part time as a pet groomer. I am open Saturday-Monday, Wednesday- Thursday after 3 pm, and Occasionally Fridays. I am flexible throughout the week depending on my pet grooming schedule. I am unable to provide services in my own home. But I am able to travel however you need, whether it be your home, the dog park, etc.

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born: a black lab and then two beagles! It was often my responsibility to care for them until my parents got home and we’ve pet sit ourselves before too. I love dogs, so I’d love to help anyone out who has one! I’m a college student taking 18 credits so I’m pretty busy, but the evenings I’m open for walks and such. I also have breaks in my schedule that are great times for walks. I always make sure that the pets are well attended to and that they are my priority. They will always have the appropriate food and attention necessary for them.

About: I have 3 animals of my own as I am an all animal lover. I have taken care of cats and dogs since they were little. Can provide most requests. I am available most days and times throughout the week! It is preferred dogs are house trained and only need to be let out for potty breaks and walks. I treat every animal as if they are my own, I am very excited to meet all the new animals! I will spend as much time time with them as possible
