We were very pleased with Sonja's services. She followed the instructions we left for her in regards to feeding and care for our 2 dogs. Seeing the photos Sonja sent of our dogs while at our home set our minds at ease. We knew Olive and Jules were being well taken care of.

About: I have taken care of friends dogs for several years now and have enjoyed it immensely! I've cared for 1-4 dogs at a time, and have had a great time with them. Right now, I've cared for mainly small to medium dogs, but I'm open to bigger dogs too. In addition to dogs, I have many years of experience with cats, fish, chickens, butterflies, and even turtles. I'm always open to variety and love caring for any animal! I am currently a student pilot with a good amount of flexibility in my schedule. I mainly fly in the mornings for a couple hours at a time. I also do babysitting and tutoring on the side but can also work around those. I can be available for overnight stays most nights and I can do a quick drop ins when needed! I am not currently working, mainly picking up smaller side jobs and studying away, so my schedule is very flexible! I do not offer boarding at my own house, but I am completely open to overnights at client's houses when needed. I have stayed at friends and families houses multiple times and my goal is always to leave making sure things look better than when I got there.

Kay was awesome with our boys Alan and Jaxson! She sent pictures to us daily and gave updates on how they were doing. Dogs really liked her. She left the house as if we never left. Thank you so much. Most definitely will be using Kay for our future Rover inquiries.

Olivia did such an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were out of town! She went above and beyond to make sure Blackjack got his medicine despite his best efforts to avoid it, and she even shoveled our stairs when a snowstorm hit. We would definitely choose her to cat sit for us again and would highly recommend her!

Isabelle and her boyfriend took great care of our puppy. They followed our house rules and went the extra mile to give our high energy puppy plenty of activity while they were house sitting. I would definitely work with them again!

Two very large dogs intent on destroying our home (or so it seemed) and somehow Amanda kept order. We received daily communication and pictures and she cleaned up their destruction. We returned to a surprisingly clean house. Definitely rebooking her.

Angie was an amazing dog sitter for us!! She watched our dog, Rosie, and my brother in law’s dog, Kenobi, in our home when we were on vacation for 4 days. Angie came to our house prior to the sit for a proper meet and greet with the pups. It was clear how experienced she is around pets and the pups loved her immediately. Our dog Rosie is on a special diet which was no issue when we were away. Angie kept great communication and gave us daily updates with pictures of the dogs. I would highly recommend Angie!!

Rachel recently house sat and looked after my two Cavachon's. I was a little apprehensive using this service at first but had no choice due to circumstances. I will say it was first class all due to Rachel and her professionalism, responsible nature, caring & thoughtful consideration for my pets. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone considering her services !! Great job Rachel and thank you again !! This allowed me to go on my trip that I would have otherwise had to cancel !!

About: I'm a firm believer that life is better with dogs. However, I know how busy life can get, so I'm happy to help somebody keep the dog in their life happy. I work from home so I'm here all the time, so my schedule can be flexible during the day. My dogs are my babies and I will treat yours like they are, too. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule. I can come over in the morning for breakfast, in the middle of the day for walks, to at night for dinner. I would prefer to care for your dogs in your home. I have 3 of my own, so it would be a little chaotic if they were all here
