“Great first time experience with Rover & our sitter, Brenda! She treated our Gizmo as her own & kept us updated with texts & pictures. He was as clean & happy when we picked him up as when we dropped him off. A+++?”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, so caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I have experience with all breeds and sizes, and I take the time to get to know each one—their personality, routines, and what makes them feel comfortable. Whether your dog is playful, cuddly, or more laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get consistent attention, walks, feeding, and playtime throughout the day. I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment in my home where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I stick closely to their usual routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide—so they feel secure and at ease. I have a fenced in yard and several kennels of all sizes available. My goal is to make your pets stay as comfortable and stress free as possible.
“Kristie is the best! My dogs are very particular and have never been away from me! She sent pictures and videos of the happy and playing and even laying with her in bed! I would 100% recommend her for babysitting your fur babies! She is AMAZING !!!”

“I’m overly satisfied with my sitter’s job. She watched my babies and kept me informed about how they were doing. I will always use Brittany to watch them for any family vacations. She is very sweet and perfect for her job. I give her ten stars if I could.”

“Thanks Lesley for taking such great care of my Josie. The pictures and the notes were great. She received such loving care we will certainly be return customers. Also thanks for your flexibility with my schedule and giving Josie a bath”

“MMonika was absolutely amazing. Our fur babies hardly missed a beat while we were away. We were using another sitter, however she moved, and we were truly lucky to find Monika. Her professionalism and care for our pets were unmatched. From the daily updates to the extra attention she gave them, Monika went above and beyond our expectations. We are grateful to have found such a reliable and compassionate pet sitter like her.”

About: I personally love seeing all different kinds of different pets and have taken care of ducks, dogs, cats, and chickens so i’ve had a variety of experience with different pets. I’m a freshmen in college so my availability is pretty wide open ! I don’t have a job right now so i’m even more open for anybody’s needs ! i’m from a well trusted family and have so many references from people i’ve pet sat for and they all love me and the way all of their pets love me 😊
“My dog enjoyed her time playing with their dogs, and they even got her some Christmas present chew toys to play with. They kept me updated during my 7 day Christmas vacation and had no issues whatsoever. Will be happy to use their dog boarding services again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child! From growing up with them, to helping friends and family, to fostering for shelters and rescues! I work full time, but do have allotted time to run home to let pets out/feed! My boyfriend is also a huge help to filling any gaps! I ensure all pets receive the best care! From food choice (if not provided), to toys, to play time w/ my pups (if wanted)! I provide a safe but fun environment!
About: I have always had fur babys . I’m currently a vet Assistant, I have been one for seven years . I can administer all types of medications . I can take care of all medical needs and anything that’s needed from puppy’s to elderly baby’s . I have two dogs and four cats myself . I work as a vet assistant so I’m very knowledgeable in all areas of taking care of animals sick of healthy I have a fenced in yard . I house sit for my groomer and family when they go out of town so I’m no stranger to that as well !
“Christy and her family were exceptional! We have never seen Cairo come back so happy! It was truly a blessing. Christy was communicative throughout Cairo’s stay and didn’t at all give a hint that my consistent “checking in” was too much. We’ve made the decision that Christy’s family will be Cairo’s “other family” when we need a sitter!”

“Dustin was absolutely amazing! He took such great care of Juno. I didn’t worry one second about her. He kept me informed throughout her stay, let her run and play, and pampered her better than I do! I can’t recommend Dustin for pet sitting and boarding highly enough.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs both full time and part time since I was around 14. I was the sole caregiver for my previous dog (American Staffy) for 4 years as well as pet sitting for family. I’m currently home from college and work from home, so I am able to give your pets plenty of attention and care. I’m also an active person who loves outside. I have a fenced in backyard as well as a very walkable neighborhood with ponds and trails. If needed, I also have a crate available.
“We couldn’t have been more pleased with Alexis as our dog sitter while we were away on our trip. She was incredibly attentive to our dog’s needs and went above and beyond to make sure Molly was well cared for. Alexis made us feel like she cared just as much about our dog as we do, showing a genuine love for animals that goes beyond just doing it for the money. We truly appreciate her dedication and compassion. Without a doubt, Alexis will be the first person we call the next time we need a sitter. We love her and highly recommend her to anyone in need of pet care!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since the young age of 10 and have always been an animal lover of all animals and have owned several dogs. I have always trained my own from potty training, crate training, to shaking hands, and have always done amazing with them. I’ve rescued several animals and strays. I absolutely love all fur babies and enjoy taking them on hikes and would love to take your fur baby on a hike or to play fetch. I work a full time job Monday-Wednesday with having a very short work day on Thursdays. I always have the spare time throughout my off days and will be able to take good care of your fur babies at all times. I have a huge yard with one fur baby that could keep yours company. My fur baby is friendly and would love to have a play date. I also can easily crate your animal if i ever needed to do so.
About: I have had multiple dogs for decades. Dogs just seem to love me. I guess it's because they can tell I love them so much. I'm really good at taking care of things for your dog. I love walking them and playing. I don't even mind picking up the poop. I'm currently working part-time as a house cleaner. So I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of fur babies. Evenings and weekends are almost always open. I treat all dogs with kindness and respect. I would want others to take care of my babies that way. I always double check the food and water. If there are extra things needed, I make sure to get those done as well.

“Rosco loved his time with Ronda and her family! She communicated quickly and sent pictures during his stay. She was willing to meet with me and Rosco before his stay which helped eased my nerves with boarding him for the first time. I could easily tell how much she loves dogs and having him there. She was super understanding with me extending his time there because of a work thing going late. When I picked him up, she had given him a bandana and a new toy (which he loves). I’ll definitely be using her services again to board him!”


About: I currently work with a local rescue and have worked with rescues for two years now due to my love for animals! I foster dogs of any age as well. I am currently a stay at home mom so I would be able to spend endless amounts of time with your babies!! I have two small children as well who are well versed with dogs and are used to being around them. I have one furry baby of my own and almost always have a foster dog in my home as well. Your pet is welcome to stay in our home the same as they do in yours, whether that’s crated at night, on their dog bed, etc.
About: I have two fur babies and taught them all they know. I love animals especially dogs . There's always room in my heart to meet and work with new dogs. If dog/puppy needs a friend I will teach them all kinds of things and new ways to play. Any dog is a good dog no matter what . Whatever you need me to do for your pet I won't mind doing. I have had a dog in my life since I was 6 and couldn't see my life without owning a dog now. All dogs hold a special place in my heart and that will never change . Weather it Be for a walk or for a potty break I'm excited to meet new friendly loving faces .
