“Mandi B. is by far the B-est doggy care giver we could've asked for while we were away!! As soon as we met, I knew my pups were in good hands. They ran right to her at the meet & greet, and she poured the love on them! Every update we received was very detailed and full of pictures, as Mandi assured us that our fur babies were doing well. We will absolutely be calling on her again when we need pup care!”
“Amanda was great with our dog and cat! She provided a nice little review of her visit and sent five pictures! We had an emotional day at an important family event several hours away and her update and pics gave us peace of mind. We are very happy with her care!”
“We’ve used a few pet sitters through Rover over the years. Kayla is among the best! We enjoyed the updates and photos that came after each visit. One of our cats does not usually come out for strangers, but he was front and center with Kayla. If Thunder (our shy cat) is good with Kayla, so are we! We already booked her again!”
“This was our first experience with a pet sitter. Katherine was wonderful and the dogs were quite content and happy when we got home. Thanks for a great experience.”
“Amy stopped by to meet our pup before her first visit. Our pup took to her immediately! On visit day she arrived on time and did exactly what we asked. Thank you Amy!”
“Sarah has been doing regular drop-ins for Charlie Dog for four months now! She is reliable, conscientious, and Charlie loves her (Fiona Cat, too). I trust her completely with my home and care of my animals!”
“Rylie made daily visits for my 2 cats over Thanksgiving week and was very attentive with excellent attention to detail. Her communication was superb. Would hire again and recommend to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
About: I have over 25 years of dog breeding experience and I would love to care for your loved ones in our home. Large home and plenty of running room in our spacious yard. I cannot take care of male dogs over 30 lbs due to a female dog in the household. I can take care of female fur babies of less than 30 lbs. I work from home and have plenty of time to give your fur baby the attention he or she needs. Taking care of dogs are my specialty. I have a fenced in yard and a female lab who loves to go for walks and play. Your fur baby will have plenty of friends caring for him or her.
About: I’ve been working with dogs for three years and I truly love what I do. Please note that I cannot provide cat care as I am allergic! I’m currently part of the team at Good Dog Paws, a facility that has been voted Best Pet Training in the Tri-State area for 2023, 2024, and 2025 — and I’m incredibly proud to be a part of such a trusted and respected organization. At Good Dog Paws, I handle a wide range of responsibilities that have helped me become confident in working with all types of dogs. I bathe dogs, manage feeding routines, administer medications (including oral and topical treatments), and closely supervise group play to ensure every dog stays safe and happy. I’ve learned to read body language, manage group dynamics, and handle unexpected situations calmly and professionally. In addition to my work at Good Dog Paws, I’ve also volunteered at the Washington County Humane Society as a dog walker. That experience helped me become more comfortable with dogs who may be shy, nervous, or still learning basic manners, and I’ve developed a gentle, patient approach to building trust with animals who need a little extra love. I’ve also provided pet sitting and house sitting services for both family and my boss. These experiences have taught me how important it is to follow routines closely, keep pets comfortable in their own home, and maintain regular communication with pet parents while they’re away. Whether I’m taking care of a senior dog with special needs or entertaining an energetic pup with tons of personality, I take pride in offering reliable, compassionate care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time for pet care in my schedule! Please reference my calendar and message me as needed for availability! I plan to keep your loved ones safe through supervision and attentive care. Through my years of experience caring for animals, I will give them the best quality of life as possible!
“Shaynna is absolutely amazing! She came to meet the cats and talk about their routine a week before we left for vacation. We were out of town for 10 days, and never worried about our cats. We received daily reports and pictures. Shaynna will be hired again if we go out of town. We highly recommend her!”
