“Lucy had the best time with Anat and Bailey! Bailey and Lucy raced each other at the dog park and went for a walk, and Anat kept us posted all day with videos. We were visiting the area, but if we lived here Anat would be our dog sitter of choice. Can’t speak highly enough of our experience with her.”
About: 🐾 Hi- I'm Stefany 🐾 A little bit about myself. I grew up with dogs my entire life. (Rescues) I've also helped find placement for dogs. I've cared for all sorts of breeds, temperaments, and administered medication through syringes, supplements, and eye drops, and variation of applicators. Over the course of my business I've dealt with a variety of breeds that have needed alot of TLC - dogs with seizures, diabetes, bowel issues, loss of an eye, severe anxiety disorder, dogs that needed alot of nurture and luv. Caring for animals is my passion. I got into this line of work not only because I have a luv for animals, but because my mother is a Travel Agent. One day, her clients' sitter bailed on them right before departing on a back to back cruise for 21 days, and they had no one to watch their dog. Almost canceling their entire trip. When people go on vacation, I stay in their home, I look after everything. It's unique. It's Very one on one and special. I don't take any other job. I've never canceled on a client due to being sick or anything. I take care of your home as well as look after your pup. I'm in my 40's. Very responsible, have a lot of references and all of my clients are repeats I also watch Westminister Championship dogs, Purebred cats,and Exotic animals. I have attended to dogs with special needs and was able to catch a new onset seizure by paying attention to signs and detail- and quickly got the dog immediate and proper care. The sooner you reach out and tell me about your pet's needs, and how long you need me for, the sooner I can fit you into my heavily booked calander. I'd luv nothing more than to make your life easier, while you're away! I Want nothing more than for you to have a "Paw-tastic" experience! :) Side note: Anyone who has a bigger dog, I'm happy to sit,if it's not agressive with a fenced in yard! This is all I do. Animals are my livelihood. Once I'm booked I'm 100% commited to my client needs. You never have to worry about my reliability I care for furbabies in the comfort of their own home when my clients go away on vacation. I not only look after your fury animals- I look after your home abd give reasurance everything is perfect so you're abke to enjoy with a peace of mind

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, over the last few years I’ve fallen even deeper in love with our 4 legged companions. From pet walking, talking, games and I’m currently in the process of learning how to groom doggies I have the privilege of having dogs being able to cover a large portion of my life expenses so I have a lot of time for our four legged furry friends. I work and I work out but I always give the dogs time attention and love via walks games and keeping them active. I also live near a beautiful forest and field so they have the opportunity to run and be free the way they should be! I have a fenced in yard with an upstairs and down stairs. I also have multiple rooms for the dogs They have their own space for eating and sleeping if they wish and I also have a small doggie couch in my room
“Catherine is such a sweetheart - she went above and beyond to assure me she would care for my pup as if she was one of their own. It’s always pretty stressful to leave my pup with a brand new sitter for the first time, and I’m grateful that Catherine made this so easy and welcomed Carli into their home.”
“Eddy was attentive and caring with our puppy chase. He updated me throughout the day with pictures as well which I appreciated. He answered any of my questions and my our pup looked like he had a blast under his care. I would hire eddy again and recommend him. Thank you eddy !”
“We needed to go out of town and was unable to find a responsible, reliable person in our immediate area.. Kelly & family - what an honor to have had them look after our puppy. I found her thru Rover.com in a town in another state - on the way to where I was going. When we picked up our puppy, she couldn't stop telling us all about her day with such wonderful humans.:) Tipped on the spot - rather than waiting. We highly highlly highlly recommend Kelly. Bravo!!!!”
“Nikki was absolutely amazing with our dog Charlie! We’re from out of town and were in a last minute bind to find some quality care for our pup. Nikki responded to my inquiry so quickly and was completely flexible with meeting times and place. Throughout Charlie’s stay, she shared photos and updates. It was such a huge help and put my husband and I at ease knowing our Charlie was having so much fun, being taken care of as we would! I definitely recommend her and plan to reach out to her again in the future!”
About: I have looked after my own dog along with dogs of friends and family. I have seen it all, pooping and peeing everywhere, no training at all, and lots of barking. I am fully capable of taking care of any dog and love doing it! I go on two long walks a day with the dog in the morning and evening and let them out on occasion to pee! I love making sure a pup stays happy and healthy! I make sure to play with them and keep an eye on them. If I have someone’s dog in my hands I will be extra diligent.
