About: I'm a stay-at-home mom of two-legged babies and fur babies . I have a big fenced-in yard where the pups can run and play. We will leave the door open when it's cool out so they can come a go as they want. I have 2 German shepherds myself and grew up with dogs, so theres not much I can't handle. We can play ball or just sit on the couch and snooze the day away. Pup must be OK with kids, the loud noises that the kids make and must up to date on shots/ vaccinations. Crate trained is a plus, but not a must and no aggressive behaviors are allowed. If you have any questions please ask me and I will respond in a timely manner. I'm currently a stay at home mom of 2 kids. I'm trying to get back out into the world force and thought rover would a good way to start with for the flexibility. I have a fenced back yard to run and with a big deck so if sunbathing is your pups thing they will be happy. I also have trees that prove shade if they like to nap under the trees.

About: Book now before I update my prices on September 20, 2025! Scroll through my photos to see the backyard your pet will get to run around in! I have 2 years experience volunteering and fostering pets at my favorite pet rescue organization and the humane society. I have 5 years of experience caring for my brothers 3 shar-pei’s (ages 1-3) whenever they’re away, which is on a regular basis. I also have experience caring for my sisters senior stray cat that she took in and adopted. I have experience in potty training puppies and will wake up in the middle of the night if needed. I also have 4+ years of nanny and childcare experience with one family of 3 children so you know I’m also trustworthy with housesitting and with children as well! :) if you have any questions, please let me know! I am currently a stay at home wife with no children. I currently moved here because my husband is in the military so I have all the time in the world for your fur babies. I like hiking and going on walks to play Pokémon go so taking dogs on walks would fit right into my schedule! I love playing fetch, cuddling and teaching tricks when I spend time with pets. I verify that the floor is clear or debris and small objects to avoid a choking hazard, thus I often sweep because safety is a priority of mine. I live with my husband who also loves animals and constantly have his support and help. I encourage gentleness in dogs and always give them affection.

About: I love walking and running. Being outdoors as much as I can when it’s nice out! 🌞 I pay a good attention to details and often like to double check things. I do whatever is asked of me. I always do my best and with honesty. Accept same day bookings as long as I don’t already have something planned of course! Don’t have kids or personal pets of my own. Just family pets. If I have to be gone for more than what the dog is allowed to be alone. Then I will go back and check on them and let them out for a quick potty break. I’m also looking for a full time job right now. So I’m not booking anything for more than 2 weeks out. Sorry for any inconvenience. Right now I’m flexible and my job is flexible. I only work 2 days a week in the summer. During the school year, I will be trying to substitute teach more base on the need. But I would be gone no more than 8 hours. I walk the dog on side walk or on the road if it’s a busy neighborhood. I feed and give your dog water. Also medication if they take any. I also play with your dog if requested or I see the need.

I have had senior dogs and more recently puppies as well, so I have trained and worked with all ages. I am a mom of 3 and I currently have 4 pets, so I am used to caring for others. I started my own photography business in Midland, so I get to make my schedule and hours from home. A flexible schedule allows me to be open for drop-in visits. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have a safe environment for your pet when you are away from the home. Pets are family and I want to help keep them safe, happy and cared for while you are away. If you have any special needs or a pet needs extra attention, let me know so I can give them the care they need!

Carin B.Star Sitter
“Carin is an excellent dog sitter, and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter! I asked her to watch my dog, Bailey, and she took great care of her. Bailey had the first-time jitters as most dogs do with meeting new people, but Carin was calm and loving with Bailey. She opened up to Carin real quick! If you want a dog sitter who knows what she’s doing, as well as loves what she does, look no further than Carin!”

Amy I.
“Amy has a deep love for animals, one she has carried her entire life. There has never been a point in her life where she has not had at least one pet of her own, and every one of her fur babies is specially cared for and loved endlessly. Her love for animals, especially dogs and cats, extends beyond those within her own household, and can be anyone from a relative’s pet to a stranger at the park. She maintains a safe, clean, and joyful environment in her own home to keep her pets as healthy and happy as possible. She is attentive to each of their needs and knows them well enough to understand what they want based on their body language, even a specific toy! She has experience with kittens, puppies, high-energy pets, senior pets, and special needs pets. She even helped me care for my cat after his surgery that required a long recovery, and her gentleness with him and patience with his medication made his recovery much smoother. If you hope to find someone who treats your pet as their own, allowing you to peacefully enjoy time away from home without any worry, Amy is who you want to be responsible for your pets.”
