“Our dog Bear had an amazing time with Daniel and Rachel! He loved playing with their dogs, and he even got to enjoy some homemade doggy birthday cake during his stay! Daniel and Rachel were great about sending us photos, and they let us change his pick up time when we came home from our trip early. We will definitely use them for dog sitting in the future!”


“Maya is great with the dog. She takes a good care of my dog Maddie. She sent pictures every day to keep us up to date. I would definitely send my dog to her next time when we need and certainly recommend her to everyone who needs a dog care.”


“Excellent sitter. Kaitlin provided pictures throughout our dogs stay, and was quick with her replies to any question I might have. She has a wonderful fenced in yard. Will surely use her services again.”

“Katie is the “BEST!” My girls took to her and there home so fast, The next morning they came running into her house for another relaxing day in their yard and home ….. On the couch……mostly :)”


“Heather did an excellent job. She is reliable and my dog is very shy and fearful at times but he fit in well with her dogs and I was at peace when I was gone knowing she was taking care of him. I will definitely work with her again! She is a kind and loving person.”


“Savannah was awesome! She kept me up to date with both pictures and videos. My husband and I both commented on how nice it was to take Sylvie to Savannah's home, compared to a boarding kennel. She got a lot more love, attention and care and came home smelling great too!”

Cassie took our pup in with almost no notice and treated her like a queen! Truly seem like an amazing family, very caring and amazing with animals! Thank you all for taking such good care of our Purdy!”


“Arya was wonderful with my dog Penny. Penny hasn't been boarded in a while because of Covid, and a few months ago she was attacked by another dog. So she was very nervous when she first arrived there. But Arya was patient and reassuring, and she settled in. He has a huge piece of property where he walks the dogs several times a day. I will definitely board Penny with Arya again!”


“Jeremy watched our Bear dog for a couple nights and took great care of him. They played, took walks and he even kept Bear happy and busy during a rainy day. Jeremy sent us pictures and videos and was great with communication. He seemed to genuinely care for our pup and our pup was happy hanging out with him. We would definitely book Jeremy again!!”

“April is fantastic! She really cares about her dogs and keeps you updated on how they are doing….providing much needed peace of mind. Mishka loved staying there and we will definitely utilize April’s services again.”


“We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care our dog received! From the very beginning, our sitter was accommodating and flexible with our ever changing schedule, which gave us such peace of mind. She was also completely upfront and honest about everything communication was clear, consistent, and so appreciated. We had daily picture and video updates thay put our mind at ease. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares, and it was obvious our dog was in loving, responsible hands the whole time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their furry family member! Would definitely rebook for future outings. Thank you Athena for going above and beyond.”


“Everything went fine I think. I didn't know when I booked her that she had small children, it worried me because Buttercup is a large rambunctious pup (st betnard), but when I asked her when I dropped them off Ashlee said it was fine. Dr Pepper hid under a bed the whole time, which didn't surprise me, he's a shy cat. However when I got him home he's been extremely loving (which is not normal for him) so I'm pleased.”


About: Hello! My name is Lois and I am 25 years old. I live with my fiancé Aaron, he is a wonderful man, gentle, and kind man. His love for animals is equal to mine. I am from Pittsburgh originally but, I have since moved to North Jackson! I live in a sweet, cozy, home. My property is very private, with lots of land for animals to play on safely. I will be the sole caretaker for your pet, and I am able to dedicate my full attention and provide round-the-clock care and attention for your pet. I have an almost 2 year old son, that I co-parent with his father. So he is here every other week, if you prefer to arrange a time when he is or isn’t here, for your or his safety. I 100% will do that. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs, all are very friendly and love other animals. They are absolutely great role models for other dogs. I occasionally foster dogs that need homes, and they are absolutely incredible. Our heeler is a very big charmer and is extremely playful. Our poodle is laid back, reserved, but definitely loves to play. They both love exploring and hiking. I am outside almost all day with them, and when it’s too hot we go out in intervals. Cool off, drink/eat, refresh, and we’re back outside playing and enjoying nature. Our closest neighbor is family, and they equally love animals, our dogs will visit for treats haha. If you’d would like our animals separate from any of your animals, I can arrange that. Just please let me know ahead of time! My experience with animals: I have been around dogs, cats, and exotic animals pretty much since I was born. I've always had a passion for animals, I truly love and value everything from the tiniest bug to the tallest horse haha. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles (venomous and non-venomous) and fish. I have trained show dogs since the age of 13, and have ethically bred and assisted many litters alongside my mother and/or equally knowledgeable/highly experienced mentors. My mother was very passionate about showing dogs and was an amazing obedience trainer. She has won many shows and competitions across the country. To the point where she had #1 dogs for breed and in obedience. I have grown up and learned many techniques from her specifically. My mother and I, also have plenty of experience with rescue work, for many years we rescued dogs from high-kill shelters, we then rehabilitated them for many months before finding their destined home. We also have done years of rescue work with cats/kittens, rescuing injured and/or abandoned cats/kittens and rehabilitating them until they were eventually ready to go to their forever homes as-well. At one point in my life, I co-founded an exotic animal transport business. We traveled the country transporting exotic animals for zoos, rescues, conservations, and private collectors. At one point, having over 100 venomous/non-venomous reptiles. Obviously, I have left that behind now that I have my son. I also have alot of experience with poultry aswell, I used to raise and rescue ducks, chickens, and turkeys! I have worked in pet stores, spend lots of spare time studying, learning, and have had a lot of incredible mentors in my life. I can give advice in foods, toys, preventatives, and lots of other animal supplies. I can also give advice on any behavioral issues that your pet may have. I am currently training my poodle to be my personal service dog. I definitely have a passion for helping animals.. I find that many animals are sadly misunderstood, but every one is just as valuable and deserving of love as the next. If you are considering me as a pet sitter, please feel free to write me with any questions you may have. I’ll respond as soon as possible! Im more than willing to work on prices as-well, it’s hard to get by nowadays and I know things are easy. I’m honestly much more interested in meeting and caring for pets than making a profit from someone who just needs some help. Please feel free to look through the gallery of my photos, I would say 90% of the animals shown were either my personal pets or rescues. Otherwise, I was pet-sitting them! :) LOISW05421, https://www.rover.com/sit/loisw05421 *Discount code* I don’t work, I am blessed to be a stay-at-home mom. I wake up at 7am and go to bed at 10pm. I have full availability! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I know how to manage dogs with anxiety, mental disorders, and some types of aggression. I have a variety of crates, if you would like me to use them. I would NEVER use a crate that is too small, and I would NEVER leave your dog alone in the crate unless you specifically request it. Your animal will be my top priority and concern, I will care and love them as if they were my own!
