“Haley was wonderful with my crazy pitty boy. She gave him so much love. She walked him and when back inside she would love on him and cuddle a bit before she leaves. I really like that. She even told him daily she loves him. Mel6ed my ❤️.”


About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was 15 years old. I have 2 dogs myself, a Blue Heeler and Bloodhound. I have no issues with larger and energetic dogs. I have been dog sitting my coworkers dogs for the last 8 years and have watched from Toy Poodle to Bernadoodle sized. I also can help with senior dogs and have experience giving medications, not injectables. I am currently attending online college so I have a flexible schedule all throughout the week. I can be available most hours Monday - Friday. In your home I can walk your dogs, sit and play, feed, groom, and also reinforce training and manners. I have no time constraint on walking for my own physical capability.

About: I've been my neighbors' go-to sitter for the last 2 years, and have care for young and old, big and small. Before that I cared for my own dogs for 15 years before! I'm currently taking classes part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk, play with, feed, and generally keep your pet company throughout the day! I can fit well into your pet's normal home schedule, feeding, playing, and walking or letting them out as much as needed to best meet their needs.

“Stephanie has taken care of Toby, my pup, for 3 weeks and he immediately bonded with her when they met. I had surgery and couldn’t walk him and she has been such a blessing! I couldn’t have had a successful recovery without her help! Toby is a Lab/Hound mix and is 80 pounds of happy to see her everyday!”

About: ✨A Pet Care Experience Rooted in Love & Trust✨ When you leave your dog with me, they’re not just watched—they’re deeply cared for, prayed over, and loved like family. I believe every animal is a creation of God, deserving of gentleness, safety, and joy. Whether it’s a peaceful nap, a playful walk, or a quiet cuddle, your pup will be surrounded by calm, loving presence. I specialize in caring for senior dogs and those with medical needs—this isn’t just a service; it’s a calling. As a dog mom to a senior pup myself, I understand the importance of patience, comfort, and consistent care. I’m confident in giving medications, supporting mobility, and reading subtle changes in behavior. I don’t just meet physical needs—I nurture the emotional and spiritual well-being of every dog in my care. I play worship music during rest time, keep a peaceful environment, and speak blessings over each furry guest. My goal is simple: that your dog would feel safe, loved, and completely at peace while you’re away. You can rest knowing that your best friend is being cared for with intention, compassion, and prayer. This is more than pet care-it's a ministry of love and peace. I offer flexible and dependable pet sitting services with a fully open schedule to accommodate your furry family members’ needs. Without current job constraints, I’m able to provide personalized care, medication administration, and attentive companionship for dogs and cats of all ages. Whether it’s regular visits, overnight stays, or last-minute requests, I’m committed to ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. My adaptable availability means I can tailor my support around your schedule and your pets’ routines, delivering peace of mind with professionalism and genuine care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I create a peaceful, grounded environment where animals feel secure and cared for, whether I’m stepping into their space or welcoming them into mine. With years of hands-on experience, especially with senior pets and those needing medication, I bring a calm, attentive presence that animals quickly respond to. You can trust that I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same respect, gentleness, and responsibility I give my own. My goal is to bring peace of mind—knowing your pets are not just safe, but genuinely cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a child—dogs and cats have always been a part of my life. Today, I’m the proud owner of three dogs and two cats, including senior pups I’ve raised since they were puppies (now 13 and 8 years old).

About: * DUE TO COVID I WILL BE WEARING A MASK AND GLOVES UPON ENTERING THE HOME* I’ve grown up with pets all my life and have a dog and 2 cats of my own. When I first tried Rover I was so nervous but ended up finding someone great it makes sense that if I was cautious to try then other people are too. I’m excited to take care of pets the way I want mine cared for. I believe that pets are family and leaving pets at home can be scary but my dog was so relaxed being able to stay where she is familiar with her surroundings and to just come home and jump back in to routine was a good feeling. It will be my personal goal to provide reassurance to both you and your companion while you’re away. At the beginning of 2022 I decided I wanted to be a dog trainer and am currently trying enrolled with Animal Behavior College to come a certified trainer. With this I've also completed the CPR certification for cats and dogs. My full time job was able to give me Fridays and Saturdays for the more likely chances for myself to give the care to family pets that I want for my animals. With my services I always do a check or other possible dogs around. If I am unable to cross the street of a passerby with a dog and safely I do so because I do not know the other dog well enough to know if it is okay. However if I am in a situation where I do have to pass another dog I speak up and ask if the dog is friendly while also being away of the pet I'm walking and how he or she is approaching.
