“Madysen sat for Tobey for a few hours to acquaint herself with his routine and demeanor. She did a great job with him and kept us informed by communicating and sending photos via text. Tobey got along great with her and did not show any signs of distress or separation anxiety. We will be using Madysen again in Sept. for a 4-day vacation. We have no qualms about leaving him with her.”


About: Dogs will get "lazy" walks in which they can explore and sniff their surroundings to satisfy their curiosity unless you want a stricter walk. I am also willing to take dogs on jogs if requested for the more energetic pup, I am not a fast runner though so be warned. I have raised dogs from puppy to their senior years so I am comfortable with all dog ages. I am generally a calm person so the house is quiet and relaxing for your pet, but I also do inside play with lots of toys. I am limiting the number of pets and families I will be taking care of to ensure that your pet(s) will get the care and attention they need. Hope to meet you and your pet very soon. American Red Cross Pet CPR certified. For overnight stays I do ask that drop off happen after Noon and pick up happens before Noon or I will need to charge an extra $10 for the day since I would not take an additional pet family.

“Heather was absolutely wonderful! She stayed with our two dogs over Thanksgiving and was super communicative and sent us as many updates and photos as we asked for. She took them both on long walks and hikes so they were happy, tired pups when we got home. We felt so comfortable with her, and will definitely be using her in the future!”


“Bethany was amazing watching our pup while my boyfriend and I were on a 3 day trip. She let me know if something was going on with our dog and always responded. She sent plenty of pictures to us and I could tell our dog loved her. I totally recommend Bethany.”


“Brittany was fantastic! This was my first time using Rover and having someone I didn't know stay in my house with my pup while I travelled for a week so I was nervous, but Brittany took such good care of my dog Stella, my stray cat I've basically adopted, my house, and my plants. She was great about communicating with me throughout my trip and sending lots of photos and videos of my pets - and didn't make me feel bad for all of my type A details and questions lol. I returned to a clean home and homemade cookies! I will definitely be using Brittany again when I need her!”


“I literally can’t say enough about Heather. I had to go to CA for a doctor’s appt and had to be gone for a week and right before I left, my dog became really sick and needed IV for 3 days. Heather didn’t hesitate. She went above and beyond and took Maggie to the vet to make sure she got exactly the care that she needed. I wouldn’t have left my dog period, but I had that much faith in Heather and the doctor’s appt was beyond a need for me.”


“Super grateful Kari was available to look after Hercules. Attentive, engaging and caring! Kari sent photos throughout their time together and kept me updated on how he was doing. Would highly recommend and will be rebooking again. Thank you Kari!”


“Emily did an amazing job with our animals! She gave us daily updates with pictures, made sure our dogs got plenty of exercise, and kept everything clean and tidy in our house! Will forsure be using her again!”


“Tim is awesome! I’ve used many sitters through Rover and Tim is the best! This is the 2nd time he has watched my 4 dogs and chickens at my house. He feeds them and spends a great deal of time with them. He also goes above and beyond by sweeping my floors and washing the bedding in my guest bedroom he slept in. It’s nice going on vacation and not having to worry. It’s also great coming home from vacation to happy dogs and a clean house.”


About: Hi there! I’m a dedicated and loving pet sitter with two friendly dogs of my own, and I know just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Whether you're heading out for a weekend getaway or just need daily care while you're at work, I'm here to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment for your pup. Your dog will enjoy playtime, walks, cuddles, and plenty of attention in a pet-friendly home. My two dogs are well-socialized and love having new friends around. I follow feeding schedules, medication routines, and any special instructions to keep your pet happy and healthy. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves play or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. Let me treat your pup like family while you're away. Peace of mind guaranteed! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because I have two dogs of my own who are a big part of my life. Each day includes regular walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of affection. I’m used to maintaining consistent schedules, following care instructions, and being attentive to their physical and emotional needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that suits each pet’s individual needs. In my home, I offer a warm, dog-friendly space with plenty of playtime, walks, and rest. I stick closely to the pet’s normal schedule—feeding times, medication, and any routines they’re used to—so they feel comfortable and secure. My two dogs are well-behaved and love having new friends to interact with, but I always introduce pets gradually to ensure a smooth and stress-free transition.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the personal attention and genuine care I give to each dog I watch. I don’t just check in—I spend real time getting to know their personality, routines, and what makes them feel safe and happy. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel loved, comfortable, and entertained while their owner is away. Whether it’s playing, relaxing, or sticking to their daily routine, I stay patient, observant, and fully present. My goal is to create a calm, fun, and trustworthy environment that gives both the dog and their owner peace of mind. Pet care just naturally fits into my day. I start with feeding and a walk, which gets me moving in the morning. Throughout the day, I hang out with the dogs , play a little, maybe practice a few tricks or just relax together. I check on them often, make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and have what they need. It doesn’t feel like a chore—it’s just part of the flow. Taking care of dogs adds some fun and calm to my routine, and honestly, their energy and affection make the whole day better. I have three lovable pets to keep your pet company. I have a dog park in our neighborhood but are also less than 20 minutes away from two bigger dog parks as well!

About: I have 2 dogs of my very own that I take care of, one being a pit and one being an extremely energetic mixed breed. I believe this would be the perfect job for me as I absolutely love animals and would like to become a veterinarian in the near future. I currently have a full time job but my schedule is still very flexible as I am able to work with/around it to care for your furry friends. All pets deserve love and nourishment, I will treat all animals as if they were my own because if I needed somebody to watch my pets I would expect the same in return.

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was a little girl. My love for them has grown ever since. I’ve done pet sitting for neighbors in the past. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I’ll have plenty of time to love and care for pets of all kinds. Walk, feed, whatever is needed. I have a fenced yard and a loving dog that can keep your dog company. My little girl loves feeding them. They will be loved.

“Ashley was great, she came to meet our dogs ahead of time. She was not afraid of taking care of large dogs. Ashly stayed overnight & took wonderful care of our 3 Rottweilers. It was nice to get away & know they were in good hands.”
