About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have always been the go-to sitter for family and friends. Working from home allows me to give your pup constant companionship, personalized attention, and a loving environment all day long. With years of hands-on experience and a true passion for animals, I’m here to provide a safe, comfortable stay your dog will enjoy. As a dog mom of two, pet care is a seamless part of my daily routine since I work from home. I provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to follow each dog’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard (6' block-wall), with a locked gate. Yard is free of debris and plants/weeds. Outdoor shade areas available and a doggy door, so pups can freely go outside between potty breaks and playtime. We have two friendly dogs at home to keep your pup happily engaged and socialized. I’m happy to crate dogs as needed and can follow scheduled mealtimes and any special care requests to make sure your dog feels right at home.
“We love sending our dog Quinn to stay with Audrey and Nicole. they take great care of her, she's living her best life at their home. Definitely recommend them if your dog needs care.”
“Dog Marley came home without any residual angst or seperation anxiety. He must have felt comfortable and relaxed at Kathleen's home as well as comforted and well cared for. Yup. I found another good sitter for my best pal!”
“Liz is an excellent person to take care of your fury child. She kept me posted on my dog progress every day and I got a lot of videos too. We would definitely ask Liz again for help taking care our fury girl again. Thank you Liz!!”
“We are so pleased with Yusen. We were completely confident that our puppy Bella was being lovingly cared for with her first time away from us. We received pictures and videos over the three-day stay reassuring us of the good time she was having. It was like a doggy vacation for her. We can’t thank Yusen enough for the peace of mind she brought to us and also helping us to maintain the schedule and training that we had already begun with Bella. We cannot wait for Bella to visit again. Such a loving home. Thank you dear Yusen.”

“Carol is the best. She sent me photos and updates daily and I was surprised that Dodger even wanted to come home. We had a canceled flight and were a day late and she was so gracious. I would use her again and recommend her to anyone! She was great!”
“Deborah was our first sitter to book on Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. She sent us photos throughout the week, and I felt calm and confident that our Olive dog was safe and cared for. So much better than a kennel! ”
“I cannot express how thankful I am to have found Erin and her awesome husband! They are so great with Badger and treat him like their own dog. Badger is always so excited when we get to their home I can barely keep him on his leash because he wants to get inside! Thank you for being so great to my guy!”
About: My dogs are definitely part of my family- not just pets. They are very spoiled, but well mannered. I also help groom, bathe, and trim nails of my friends and family’s pups. I am open to working with anyone’s schedule. With kids and pets of my own, I know life can get busy. Let me help alleviate a little stress by taking care of your pup. I have a fenced in yard with an inground pool, that is kept blocked off from the dog’s area. I am willing to work with families to provide the best care possible for their pup.
About: I've gained plenty of knowledge from being a veterinary technician in the past, giving me experience in providing care for special needs pets. I have 10 years of experience in senior animal care, and will provide loving and gentle attention to pets of any age. I have a Mon-Friday job, and am available by 6 pm (on a rare occasion, 7pm). I am available most weekends for a full weekend, overnight, or day/drop-in care. I have a senior pup whom has his own giant kennel. He is a lab mix and his temperament is docile and sleepy. I have a double lot fenced in yard. The yard is secure, dirt, with a few trees. I would accompany your pet outside at every potty break on or off leash. If care would be in your own home the care I give would be almost entirely up to your direction and needs.
“Desiree was great with Shadow. She kept me updated and informed on his visit. Shadow fell in love with her and her dogs. I will use her again in the future when the need arises. I would recommend her to others.”
“Madison was great. She took great care of Odin. It was obvious by how happy he was when we picked him up. She answered promptly when I checked in. I will definitely use Madison again. I highly recommend her.”
“Lyn made our experience easy. Our sweet girl was happy and loved. The updates with pictures showed us we made the right choice. This felt more like family watching Hazel, than saying a sitter. Lyn and her husband Don definitely treat Hazel like she was there. Amazing experience.”
“First time leaving my lil girl in the hands of a stranger. But Grace was amazing and I will be a repeat client. I appreciate your time and effort you gave to Penny. She’s a happy girl and had lots of fun with your crew.”

Jennifer F.
“Excellent care from Jennifer for my G-Ray! G-Ray tends to be anxious, particularly with new people, but Jennifer quickly gained their trust. Upon returning home, it was clear how comfortable and happy G-Ray was. Jennifer surpassed all expectations. Jennifer provided regular updates with photos throughout the trip. Communication was excellent, with prompt responses to all questions. Knowing G-Ray was in capable and loving hands allowed for a worry-free vacation. Jennifer is highly recommended for anyone seeking a reliable, compassionate, and dedicated pet sitter. Services will definitely be used again!"”
