“Shaira is everything you need in a care for a dog, she very attentive, knowledgeable, and showed class and professionalism and she's very aware of problems if they exist ,I was pleasantly surprised in her intuition dealing with Thor my American Bully. She kept me up to date with pictures and walks, this was my 1st time leaving Thor with anyone, and she understood what to do and how to react, I cannot say more about this young woman, she will be at the top of my list when I need someone to take care of Thor... Only one problem!!!! There are not enough stars, she actually deserve 10 stars .”

About: Dogs and cats and lizards, oh my! I’ve done it all. For the first 18 years of my life I’ve had experience walking dogs, house sitting, and raising my own pets. Then I began working at a summer camp where I was partially responsible for taking care of our reptile family - crested geckos, bearded dragons, and ball pythons and were just some of the cuties I got to take care of. Since then I have taken care and owned cats, dogs, and lizards of my own and on the side have house sat and loved many family and friends pets while they’re gone. I even have experience with some medical administration such as insulin shots to a feisty cat and pills to the dog I currently own. I can’t wait to get acquainted with your family member :) My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most any time a pet needs taken care of, including during the work day and weekends. I have three dogs, one cat and a crested gecko currently who are all very loved and spoiled by myself, my husband and our almost two year old. We’ve taught all the dogs recall, leash training and how to be gentle around young children. Our cat is an old man with feline herpes, one of our dogs needs daily oral medication and the juvenile gecko gets extra attention as he continues growing.

“Emily is a very caring and intuitive pet caregiver. I have known her for a couple of years now and she has worked with my dogs and cat and done a great job. My two dogs are both very high-energy, intelligent mutts that each have some behavioral issues. One of them has separation anxiety and Emily has consistently worked with her and has been able to calm her down, sometimes better than we can. The other one is very temperamental and she has also been able to get him to stop growling and behave each time she is at our house. Our cat is very loving and has never had any issues, but she also loves Emily. I have also watched Emily work with her dogs and she has trained them to perfection even with previous issues they had. I would highly recommend Emily as a pet caregiver and I believe she will do a great job helping out with any pet and can also assist in training if necessary.”

“Nadia has been great to work with. Very communicative. My dog looks forward to her weekly walks.”

“Olivia was our dog sitter from 2015-2019. We are a military family, so we move around a lot. We were so worried about finding an amazing dog sitter when we moved to our new base, but our worries immediately went away when we met Olivia! She truly loved our dogs like they were her own. They might have even liked spending time with her more than us! They were always so excited to see her and exhausted from all of the fun when they returned home! Our dogs are our children, and Olivia treated them with the same love, care, and attention that we do at home. You won’t be sorry you chose her to care for your pets!!”

“Rex is a very caring, pet loving human! He loves animals, even to the point of rescuing baby turtles, baby raccoons, anything he sees or finds. He doesn't want any animal to suffer, ever. He would be an awesome pet sitter/dog wallker. As he is patient and extremely gentle and kind. When it comes to animals and children you couldn't ask for a bigger heart, or a better man. I believe he would do very well.”

“Hayden took great care of our dog and cats while we were away. They definitely loved having her and would love to have her again.”

“Always trust Claire to watch my dog Willow when I go on my weekend trips to see the family. Never had problems with her only contacts of clarifying questions.”

About: Former federal employee and defense contractor (over 28 years)/deferred retirement. I've been boarding, house sitting, dropping in, walking, and running with dogs since COVID. I also provide cat care. Open to other duties as assigned (mail collection, plant and/or pool/spa care, garbage/recycling, snow clearing, etc.). Prices are adjustable, and willing to trade services for a handy person. No routine here. I have a pit bull at my disposal whenever I feel the need for additional security. House sitting radius is unlimited -willing to travel; drop ins or walks within 10 miles please. Safe neighborhood. I have a .5 acre lot, but only the yard around my pool is fenced in (less than half the lot). Good safety latches on the gates; pool safety cover off-season that dogs are not allowed on. Recently purchased a kiddie pool for the dogs. Dogs must stay on leash during a meet-n-greet at my house, as Rover does not cover those. There will not be any other pets or children present while boarding. I may only be able to adequately supervise 1 dog at a time around the open pool. Bi-level home with carpeted stairs. It has been marked, so if that’s a potential issue, please look elsewhere. 4-wheel drive Jeep, so snow is not likely an issue to get to your fur babies.

“Bonnie has been an excellent caretaker for my 2 Fat Coat Retrievers. She is a compassionate animal lover, who takes time to get to know your pets needs. She has watched my dogs overnight as well as done drop ins and walks. She is very trustworthy and interacts directly with my pups.”

“Jamie is a very kindhearted and loving pet caregiver. You can tell she has a special place in her heart for animals and is very intelligent when it comes to taking care of them. She cares for the animals with lots of love and is very respectful of our home. You can tell the animals were very happy with her and were well taken care of when you return. I would recommend her and would feel comfortable leaving my pets with her any time.”

“Eizabeth is a blessing. She is responsible, punctual and has a heart of gold. She loves animals and is a gentle caregiver that can be trusted. Elizabeth genuinely is a friendly happy person. She gives the very best care. She not only meets the needs of each pet but she often goes beyond spending quality time playing and giving lots of love and attention to her clients pets. Working with Elizabeth was a joy. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone. Elizabeth has lots of experience and a love for furrry friends!”

“Janie is a truly responsible, attentive, and loving pet caregiver! She took amazing care of my 4 cats and 2 dogs, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. She was communicative, respectful of their individual needs, and made sure they were not only safe, but also happy and loved while I was away. I highly recommend Janie to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family!”

“To whom it may concern, I would highly recommend Kristen Brakke to be chosen as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Kristen grew up with dogs her whole life. Kristen has always been very responsible and loyal to her pet family and she has always shared a very special and loving bond with them. Kristen has always shown that same kind of special love, affection, and care for her own pets. You see, they are not just pets to Kristen, they are all family members. Kristen loves each and every pet as if they are her own family members and she treats them that same loving way as well. Thank you for your time, Rebecca stubli”

About: Throughout my life I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages from newborn pups to pups on the other end of their walk of life. Friends, family, and family friends often call on me to take care of their pets while out of town. I'm working part-time at the moment at a doggie daycare. I have a very flexible schedule, so plenty of time to play with your pups! Giving meals, potty breaks, medicine as needed, mental stimulation, physical activity, and any other specific requests.

About: I am a new pet sitter ready to help families. I understand what it is like to need someone to watch animals for vacations, day trips, or long work days. I do not have the community to watch my dog, so I want to be the community to help watch your dog. I have a 15 year old dog and a 2 year old puppy. I have seen all stages of the dog experience and I am ready to help others out. I have a hybrid job that I can have the flexibility to check in on your animal throughout the day or even work from your house for a house sit.

I am prepared to take your dog for a walk, taking them for a car ride, or ensuring their food bowl is around. I love playful dogs and will be happy to take them outside to burn some energy as well.

“Anna is great with my aging beagle. Some days my beagle wants to do a lot of walking and sometimes she just wants to sunbath in the grass and Anna is accommodating in either scenario!”

“Julijana is the best! My dogs love her! She loves my dogs! She exercises them well and brings them home tired and happy. She is also great at managing a complicated medicine regimen involving pills, eye drops, and eye ointment for my senior dog, who has a corneal abrasion. I really appreciate her!”
