“Nicole did a great job taking care of our pack. She was very communicative with us. She sent pictures along the way and made sure all of our dogs were well taken care of. Left us some pictures when we got home as well to see how they did. Great experience and allowed us to enjoy our vacation stress free. Thanks!!”
“Michelle was prompt, kept in touch every day while we were away, and took great care of Cotton and Maizey, including making sure Cotton got all her meds every day. She was flexible when our plans had to change at the start of our trip. This was our first time using a dog sitter who stayed at our house, and Michelle made us feel really comfortable. We’ve just arrived home to two happy and healthy pups. Thanks Michelle!”
“Emily was great! She kept great communication with lots of pictures and updates. She took lots of time with our puppy along with walks on top of it. She was able to work with us on short notice. We felt very comfortable knowing our puppy was in good hands! We have her booked for another 2 jobs already ❤️”
“Jack is awesome. Really spent quality time with Tucker which I so appreciate. Tucker is almost blind and needs the extra care. I was very comforted knowing Jack was there. Thank you Jack.”
“I highly recommend Josh to stay with your pet! He stayed with my dog Diesel over this past weekend at my house. When I returned home Diesel was very happy and my home was in perfect shape. While I was away Josh sent several pictures of them taking walks together and playing together. They had lots of fun and Josh really focused on Diesel. I will definitely book him again when I need to be out of town.”
“Madolyn did an amazing job with our fur babies! You can see how much she loves animals with the way she interacts and cares for them. I hired Madolyn to house sit and watch our dogs. She gave regular updates on the girls, and took such good care of our home. This turned out to be a fantastic outcome, and I recommend Madolyn to anyone looking for a caring, respectful, and trustworthy sitter. We will definitely have Madolyn back!!!!”
“She was really nice and very patient with one of my shy cats. She went above and beyond her job duties by picking up the cats’ food from the store and tidying up the space more neatly than it was left.”
“Kelly,You are the best! Maci loved being with you. Reaching out with daily photos, certainly helped my separation anxiety. Maci and we will be happy to see you next time. Thank you!!! Sheree&Mark K”
About: I have had and taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and so many other exotic animals since I was very young. I also have experience working with a wide variety of pets at vet clinics as well as a pet resort both of which I walked, fed, administered medication, and watched several dogs in a daycare setting. I also worked with a wide range of exotic animals as my career after graduating college! During the school year I am a substitute teacher typically working M-F until about 4pm. This summer I will be working at Apple Holler as a tour guide with a slightly inconsistent schedule but the days I do work I will usually be finished around 3pm. That being said I am available to do drop ins and walks later in the afternoon after work. I have most weekends available as well. When caring for your pets I will always be cognizant of the surroundings. I respect the owners choices of the best way to manage their dog so I will use leashes, crates, etc. whenever it is needed or recommended.
“Rylie stayed at my house with Apollo and Athena and she was great. She sent pics and kept me updated on my fur babies. She took care of my house and left like it was when she got here. Highly recommend her.”
“Diamond is amazing. We left our 6 Mos puppy and our older pup at home. We were worried about the puppy but Diamond was so attentive. I received many pictures and loved them. I will use Diamond again. It's a great relief to know your puppies are well taken care of if you need to travel”
About: I've always had an animal in the house from fish to rabbits to dogs and more. Whenever a family member needs a pet sitter, I'm their first call and I'd love to be yours as well! I'm available between 10 am-2 pm Monday, Wednesday & Thursday, between 6:30 pm-9 pm Mon.-Fri. and between 8 am-10 pm, Saturday & Sunday. I'm a school bus driver therefore these hours are firm. ☺️ I am comfortable giving medications and bottles if needed, along with crating. I love going for walks with my furry friends and am always up for some extra training and cuddles!
About: With over 7 years of hands-on dog sitting experience, I’ve cared for pups/kitties of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. I’ve handled everything from daily walks and medication administration (pills only) to overnight stays and longer holiday care. I prioritize creating a safe, loving environment that keeps their regular routine. Whether it’s fetch in the park or quiet cuddle time, I tailor care to each dog’s unique needs and personality. My schedule is open and flexible, which means I’m available for extended bookings, weekend getaways, *most* holidays, and all the in between’s. I’m here when you need me, morning, afternoon, or evening—no rigid time blocks, just dependable availability. Whether you’re heading out of town or working long hours, I’m ready to jump in with consistent, loving care. Pet parents can count on me to adapt to their routines and provide reliable service every day of the week. Safety and trust are the foundation of everything I do. I never leave dogs unsupervised in unsafe areas, and I only use the approved pups gear. I stay in close contact with pet parents, offering regular updates, pictures, and messages (if asked for) for peace of mind. With seven years of trusted pet care under my belt and a strong sense of responsibility, I treat your dog as if they were my own. Your pet’s wellbeing is always my top priority.
“We took a 9 day vacation and she took great care of our pets. She even made friends with my 15 year old cat, who typically does not like people. She frequently sent pictures, video, and updates. It was a great experience and she made me less nervous about leaving them behind.”
About: I've been dog-sitting for many years! Many friends and friends of friends have had me take care of their dogs when they go on vacation! I have also been walking and taking care of dogs for a long time! I'm currently a student in college but I have days that I have no class so I would have plenty of time to walk and take care of your dog! I am very good at following instructions and understand that dogs have different needs. I will do whatever you need me to, to take care of your dog and to make sure they are happy.
“Nothing personal against Rachel, she seemed very professional and that she took very good care of my dogs, it’s just the company Rover wasn’t good at communicating and not helpful in solving problems.”
“Emily is a stellar sitter! She took care of my two dogs, fish and plants and left the house in great shape. She even cleaned! I can’t say enough good things about her, and I’m very grateful for her help!”
