“Summer is fantastic with our puppy, Finley! She provides excellent communication before, during, and after caring for him. She is very detailed in her Rover card reports and provides adorable photos, too! She is extremely reliable and we feel so comfortable leaving Finley home knowing that Summer will take great care of him.”
“My dog instantly liked Michelle and wanted her to be his new best friend. Michelle was a pleasure to meet and has such a positive and caring attitude and energy, also very thoughtful considering it was raining and my dog got muddy and she texted me about where she should get a towel to wipe him down. I received pictures of my dog throughout the day and came home to a very happy and well cared for dog.”
“Ashlee was amazing! We had an unusual request with our dogs in that we asked her to pick our dogs up and drop them off at the boarding facility. She handled our situation like a pro! I would highly recommend! Thank you Ashlee for all your help!”
“Alicia was reliable and communicated very promptly. She was even kind enough to put food out for a stray kitty I’ve been feeding. I appreciated that she came out beforehand to meet my cat and get the key”
“Celia was amazing! She responded quick and was very accommodating for my pets that I have; even being willing to feed my guineapig since I couldn't add her as a pet in this app. I would highly recommend her 😊”
“I am so glad we were able to book with Siobhan! We had an amazing & worry free trip knowing our fur baby was well taken care of. We enjoyed the updates and pictures as well as the detailed reports during her visits. She followed all our requests and went above and beyond to make our boy feel comfortable and keep his schedule as routine as possible! Having a dog on medication from stress induced diagnosis, traveling is always scary and stressful. Our boy was so comfortable, secure, happy, and calm with Siobhan around. 10/10 recommend for all our pets needs and we will absolutely rebook for our next trips. 🩷”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since about the age of 11, when my neighbors would hire me to watch their dog when they would go away on vacations. As I got older my client list grew through word of mouth recommendations. I’ve worked in both veterinary clinics and animist shelters/rescue as a trained veterinary assistant. I am comfortable with giving medications and other medical issues. I love play time and going for walks! I am currently self employed so my schedule is flexible, however weekends I am away from morning to early-mid afternoon. My weekends open up in November. Weekdays I am able to change my schedule as needed to fit in any of your animal needs. I am not able to care for animals in my own home. I have a let of my own that does not like other pets in the home.
“Thomye took great care of our IzBiz while we were away. Being a senior pup, it's hard to uproot them just for a night away. Thomye was absolutely perfect with her. She took time to play and even hand fed her to ensure she ate her food. Thomye took all the extra time and care and we are forever grateful that we found her. She will definitely be our go-to when we need someone for our old lady.”
About: I have walked dogs at the animal shelter. I have trained my own dog and cat. I have had many different animals as pets and I love them all. I am available during the week everyday my schedule is flexible. I do have children in school that I would have to work around but still flexible. I'm not boarding in my home. I would follow whatever you need done for your pet. Meds, play, cuddle, feed, walk, whatever is needed to care for them while you are gone.
About: I grew up with pugs and treated them like my kids — Bruce, Tobias, and Otto were my world. I’ve cared for senior dogs, playful puppies, and even dogs with special needs. Now living in the U.S. and missing my own pup back in Brazil, I’d love to share all my love and experience with your furry friend. I’ll treat your dog like family — with patience, affection, and lots of belly rubs! I recently moved from Brazil to support my husband’s new job, so I’m currently taking some time off from work. That means I have plenty of time — and love — to give your pup! I’m available in the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings, until the sun sets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every dog as if they were my own — with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I follow routines closely, respect your rules, and create a calm, cozy environment where pets can truly feel at home.
About: Hi! I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals of all kinds, from chickens and goats to cats and dogs. That experience gave me a deep love and understanding of animals—especially dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve cared for everything from small breeds to large dogs like Rottweilers and St. Bernards. I’m comfortable managing dog behavior, including handling conflicts or working with sassy, high-energy pups. Animals tend to gravitate toward me, and I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort. I’d love the chance to give your dog the care and attention they deserve! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Even with a full-time job from 9–6, I prioritize animal care in the evenings and on weekends. I spend time feeding, grooming, playing, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. It’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. I take pet care seriously, whether it’s in my home or a client’s. At home, I have cats who are indoor-only for their safety, and I make sure they’re always well-fed, have fresh water, and stay entertained—even when I’m away. I adopted a second cat so my older one wouldn’t feel lonely, and I provide stimulating toys, grooming, regular nail trims, and even play cat-friendly videos on the TV to keep them engaged. I bring that same level of attention, care, and respect for routines when looking after pets in a client’s home.
About: I’ve been a dog owner & taken care of others dogs for 25 years. Recently retired, missing my dog fix! Brings me so much joy I’m currently retired and have flexible hours! Easy to contact. Happy to go for walks morning, afternoon or evening. I can work well with different schedules. Currently not offering dog boarding, however, I have a fenced in backyard and my own dog leash. I’m happy to make your pup happy with some fun playtime in my yard!
About: Hi there! My name is Katelyn, I’m a registered nurse. I am an extremely active person, so if your pup likes to play, we will get along just fine! I love to go on runs, hike, and go for walks. I have sat for a variety of dogs of all breeds and sizes so I am comfortable with sitting almost all dogs! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns! I look forward to hearing from you soon :) I am extremely flexible and I am able to work with you to determine how to best meet your pets needs while they’re away from you. I make sure to create a safe environment for your pet no matter the environment. Each animal should be met with an individualized goal in mind.
About: I've watched and owned not only a German Shepherd for over 15 years, but also cared for exotic animals, such as F1 Savannahs throughout the duration of my life. I just recently retired from the Army summer of 2023. I'm kind of bored and would love to keep myself busy doing something I love. I own a single family home with a small backyard that your fur baby can have access to. With less than a mile if requested I can walk your dog to the dog park.

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Crista was warm, attentive, and clearly experienced with pups who have big personalities in small, fluffy packages. While we were gone our dogs got plenty of playtime, cuddles, and love, just like they would at home. It’s such a relief to know our fur babies are not only safe but genuinely cared for. We came home to two happy, relaxed, and very well-snuggled dogs. We highly recommend this sitter to anyone looking for someone who truly treats your dogs like family.”

Alondra L.
“Alondra has always been amazing with animals. Ever since we were kids growing up on the farm, she was the one who took the best care of all our pets. She was always the first to notice if something was wrong or if an animal needed extra attention. Whether it was dogs, cats, or even goats and chickens, she had a way of making them feel calm and cared for. Now she has two cats of her own, and honestly, they live a better life than most people. She’s such a good cat mom. She keeps them entertained, plays with them, grooms them, and even gives one of them his inhaler when he needs it. You can tell how much she loves them, and they love her right back. If you need someone to take care of your pet, you won’t find anyone more responsible or loving than Alondra. She treats every animal like family.”
Torre W.
“Torre grew up in St Joe and graduated from St Joe HS and the University of Wisconsin. She comes from a "Whirlpool family" where her father, Donald, and Uncle, Juel, were Assistant to the Chairman and President and VP-Public Relations, respectively. Torre has a great moral character and lives a strong, faith-based life. Torre has been a dog owner pretty much her whole life. You could not find a more dependable, conscientious person to be with your pets! Torre could literally provide dozens of recommendations if needed. Everyone loves Torre. You will too!”
Katelyn C.
“Katelyn is one of the most caring and enthusiastic people I have met. I am her aunt and have had the pleasure of seeing her grow and flourish. I have also had the opportunity to work with her. She has dog-sat for me on countless occasions. Whether it has been for an entire weekend or just a night, she has always taken extremely good care of my three dogs that I have had over the years. I had a chow-chow until he passed away a few years ago. Katelyn and "Boo" were inseparable. After he passed away, I got two new dogs. "Mick" is a mut and was rescued along with "Dolan" who is a purebred Cavalier King Charles spaniel. Both dogs love Katelyn! She is an outstanding sitter who loves keeping the dogs active! She always offers to take them on walks/runs and to the park. I would highly recommend my sweet niece for the job!”
Delmar L.
“Delmar is a devoted caregiver for pets! He has watched countless dogs over the years. I have been a pet sitter on Rover on the past 2 years. The job is hard and I have trusted Delmar with my dogs time and time again! I truly believe with his background in the military, he is the guy you can always count on.”
