“Rachel was amazing with our old pup! She let us know how he did during the day, when he ate, and anything to follow up on when we returned. She was thoughtful and adapted to his quirks.

About: Growing up on a farm means I have an abundance of experience with animals of all shapes and sizes. This experience has only grown thanks to the 1000+ hours spent caring for a great variety of animals thanks to my preparation for and training in veterinary school. I have worked in several veterinary clinics, a couple of shelter settings, and a commercial aviary. This means I am incredibly comfortable caring for all kinds of pets of any age, as well administering medications and keeping up with unique needs. Much of my love for veterinary medicine comes from the opportunity to bond with people and their pets, and providing pet care is another amazing chance to do just that. I would love to serve you and your four-legged family! Being a student allows for a very flexible schedule, perfect for attentive and personalized pet care! Much of my course work can be done online, so I am often free to hang out with your furry friends while I study throughout the day. I try to build my schedule where I don't need to leave pets alone longer than 6 hours maximum, and I am willing to adjust according to your pet's needs. I take great care to keep your pet's routine as similar as possible to their normal to minimize stress. I love to schedule a meet & greet beforehand to get to know you and your pet, and get to know all the details of their routine. I know what questions to ask to make the process as enjoyable and stress free as possible. I also know how nice it is to come back to a clean home. Therefore, when staying in a client's home I take great care to leave everything exactly as it was or better. That way you can relax knowing your pets are well taken care of, and you have nothing to worry about when you return.
About: I've had pets my whole life, being able to care for a variety of dog breeds/types. During my time at Wittenberg University, I fostered and cared for a service dog in training, raising the puppy from birth to trying to complete the program. This included grooming, cooperative care, daily care, socialization, and training. I also dogsat for others in the program regularly - providing weekly and overnight care which included grooming, feeding, walking, and socialization. I am currently unemployed, being able to provide care for your dog 24/7. Dog care is imbedded into my routine with my Golden Retriever - so adding a new furbaby will be second nature! I have a large backyard that will be getting fenced soon. We also have a friendly golden retriever who loves ALL dogs! We have a crate in our home that isn't used by our dog, so we are able to house overnight.
About: I have dogsat for many friends and families over the years and have my own little guy at home! I love animals and love to be able to spoil them any chance i get! I am a full time student but have a lot of flexibility, I have my own puppy at home I am currently training as well and a full grown puppy as well! I have spent many years around dogs in my day to day routine. I find that keeping animals on set schedules helps with their anxiety and keeps them comfortable and confident! I love to gives dogs a happy and healthy life and I think playtime and fun should always be included into every routine!
“April was very helpful and flexible for last minute trip planning. She was also very patient and understanding when I had some miscommunication and then some health issues. I can't thank her enough. Most importantly, she was very attentive to the fur babies and they seemed to like her a lot.”
About: I've owned dogs of all kinds, big and small, young and old, as well as many cats, bunnies, and reptiles. Whichever type of pet you have, I will dedicate myself to making sure your companion safely has their needs met! I am a plant lover, so if you have any plants that need taken care of, I am willing to do that as well.🌿 I love to take cute pictures and will keep you plenty updated while you are away! I'm very flexible with scheduling and can help your pet at almost anytime. My Rover calander is updated frequently but feel free to reach out with any questions of availability, and I will do my best to accomodate you! Aside from giving rides in my personal life, my days are very open, so I'll have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets.🐾 Your trust means a lot to me, and I want to surpass expectations. Communication is my top priority and I will make sure that you, your pets and I, all have a great time together. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns!
“Haley was really great and communicative with us! I could tell our pets were cared for and she took care our house while we were away. We will definitely be repeat clients for our next venture if she'll keep having us!”
About: There’s never been a time in my life without animals in the home! From a young age, I helped care for our dogs—feeding them (we even cooked their meals from scratch!), playing, and giving them lots of love. I have vivid memories of spending hours bonding with them as a child. Over the years, I’ve also helped friends and family care for their pets while they were away. I’ve looked after senior dogs and have experience giving medication when needed. My calm, nurturing nature helps animals feel safe and comfortable, whether they’re shy, playful, or in their golden years. I’m currently visiting home for the summer, I will be available until the 30th of July. My schedule is flexible as I’m not working right now. You know your pet better than anyone — you’re the boss! I’m happy to follow any instructions or stick to a strict routine to make sure your fur baby stays happy and comfortable. Please provide a strong description of your pets personality, as it will help me adapt quickly and build trust. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can see just how happy your baby is while you’re away!
About: I've never not known having a pet! My parents got my first dog 2 days after I was born, and just like in The Secret Life of Pets, we were inseparable! Since then, I have owned several types of species of animals, and ever since I became a dad, my love for animals has grown. All of our friends joke that we run a zoo at our house, but I absolutely love watching the bond between my kids and our pets. We currently have 2 dogs, 2 red-eared sliders, and a hamster. I have experience caring for puppies/kittens, elderly dogs/cats, pregnant dogs/cats, aggressive animals, and animals who need medication administered. I can't wait to love your pet(s) as my own! I'm currently a real estate agent / stay-at-home dad with a very flexible schedule and multiple available sitters with a short notice. Don't be afraid to book last minute! We absolutely believe in the safety for our pets as well as others' pets. My wife and I have been on both ends of the spectrum of having a very obedient, friendly dog, as well as being the owner of a dog that is triggered by unfamiliar faces in human and non-human form! No matter the needs, I will work to achieve them!

Kaela w.
“Kaela has been my go-to dog sitter for many, many years. I have had a series of crazy Boston terriers, usually two at a time, and she has taken care of all of them with such love and attention. She's cared for them when they were truly crazy puppies, and when they were senior dogs who sometimes were hard of hearing and nearly blind. The dogs have sometimes been on special diets and often on medications that were different for each dog. I knew the dogs would get what they each needed, and no detail would be overlooked when they were in her care. It always eased my mind that she was with them because I knew they were getting the best love and snuggles and play possible. My preferred way to have a dog sitter is for the sitter to stay in my home and I knew with Kaela the house would be the same when I walked back in the door as it was when I left. Our dogs usually prefer to sleep with us and Kaela was even willing to share her bed with the little bed hogs. I can't say enough how much I rely on Kaela as my dog sitter, nor how much my dogs love her.”

Alexandra P.
“Alex watched my dogs while we went on a trip last summer! I have 2 golden retrievers and she kept me continually updated on how the dogs were doing, as they can be quite the little rascals. Alex made sure to play with them each day, and she spent plenty of time with them to make sure they didn't get lonely. The best part was that she sent lots of pictures of Aidan and Gracie (my dogs) throughout the week! Of note is the fact that Gracie can get anxious and panic when there are loud noises such as thunderstorms. I felt completely comfortable leaving her with Alex because I knew that she would be able to calm Gracie down and spend time with her when she was feeling panicked. My family has asked Alex to watch our dogs every trip since last summer!”
Amanda K.
“Amanda is great! She always goes above and beyond when watching our furbaby Erza. Whether it is a drop-in or taking care of her for the day, Amanda always sends photos, checks in, and provides great service! She really gets to know your baby and becomes best friends with them! I highly recommend Amanda for all your sitting needs.”

Holly B.
“I've seen firsthand Finn's diligence and care for many different kinds of pets and breeds. She's taken care of my cat before and I've sat in a few times while she cared for her parents dogs and cats. When I leave my cat with her, I'm able to know that my cat is safe and in good hands. She's extremely knowledgeable to the point that I direct all my pet related questions to her!”
