“Michelle did a great job watching my 9 week old puppy. My puppy is a handful and requires a lot of attention. I submitted a last minute request. Michelle was flexible, patient and kind. She shared pictures throughout the day to ease my stress. I can’t thank her enough!”
“Emily and her family are Penny's home away from home! She loves going there and we have no worries while we are away. She will always be our 1st choice.”
“This was our second time using Deanne and both times we gave her challenging circumstances which she handled exceptionally well!! This time…Our daughter was getting married so it was a busy and important weekend for us. One of our dogs was several weeks out from major surgery on both legs, on several medications and restrictions as well as needs for exercise and assistance. And, to add to the challenge she started her first heat cycle just as we were leaving and couldn’t have her therapy that week to help with her mobility and pain as a result . One of our other dogs has major anxiety issues so transitions can be hard for her as can simple things like noises and walks. Deanne handled all of this with ease and professionalism and Her updates were timely and helped us to enjoy the wedding without worrying a bit about the pets. We returned home to very happy pets. Deanne does an awesome job as a house and pet sitter and we wish there were more than 5 stars to give her. She is exceptional!! We will always use her in the future!”
“Another amazing experience! Was able to have a relaxing trip knowing Duke was well cared for. Photos and check ins were amazing and house was in great order! Thank you Tabitha!”
“Brandi is absolutely the best, wonderful with our two dogs, and consistently winning over our high anxiety and shy lil’ baby. We highly recommend Brandi if you are looking for a reliable dog sitter with heart.”
“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.”
“Jack did a great job with my two dogs. He quickly scheduled a meet and greet to discuss our house and what our dogs would need. One of my dogs is old, a little anxious and does not allow many people to pet him. Jack was very patient with him and by the end of the weekend, Rudi felt comfortable enough to let Jack pet him. Jack was also very responsive and sent several pictures of the dogs over the weekend. Everything in the house was also in good order when we returned from our weekend. I would highly recommend Jack for house and dog sitting.”
About: I began doing pet sitting in 2016 for family & friends, and that was most of my sitting experience until I began my dog training certification. Now I’ve been in pet care professionally for two years, and have had my dog trainer certification for half of that. My weeks are based around pet care. I do it full-time and have a customizable schedule based around my various clients & appointments. I have special hours available at request. I make sure to get an exact outline of what is expected/allowed for the pet, and am not shy about requesting elaboration if there’s any confusion on my part. Additionally, I like to do what I can to keep them mentally stimulated with games, activities, and some light obedience training/reinforcement so they can hopefully carry that good behavior over to their daily life.
“This was the first time using Rover. I could not be more pleased with the individual we picked when we chose Josh!!! He was readily available. He kept in great communication with us throughout the entire process from booking to his departure after watching our pups. He cleaned up and left house clean and tidy. Even kept the pups safe during a tornado warning. Cannot wait to book again with Josh!”
“Kelly was a pleasure to work with. She stayed in my home with the fur-babies. Nothing was left undone. My home was clean when I returned & the pups happy. I would ask her to house/pup sit again. 🐶”
“Delaney is reliable friendly and very loving to our pug Louis. Very caring and attentive. Definitely someone I will always have be with our sweet boy.”
About: Experienced Veterinary Assistant and animal lover!!!! I have had over 13 years of animal care experience and have worked in a Veterinary and boarding setting for around 3 years!!

I currently go to college and am majoring in Animal Sciences - pre vet so I have some free time on my hands when I am not busy with school work!

I know how to take care of all different types of animals and my experience at shelters, boarding facility’s, and a veterinary clinic has helped me learn a lot about animals!!
“Emily was a fantastic dog sitter. My usually timid dog greeted her right away. She was responsive, communicative and had a lovely demeanor. I will definitely hire her again!”
“Gabby and her friend watched my 2.5mo old puppy at my home during the day. Gabby is communicative, attentive to details, and friendly. My puppy seemed to like them and did well in their charge. She and her friend were respectful of my home and cleaned up after themselves. They also checked in with me on changes in their arrival/departure times ahead of time. Overall, I’d trust her with my home and phone, and I am sure to tap her again.”
“Lauren was prompt and very responsive. I could tell my dogs and cat were well cared for over an extended weekend.”
“Lexi was very attentive to OD while we were away! She took him for a walk and sent lots of pictures. It helped OD relax a little to have so much attention at the start of our trip. Thanks!!”
About: I have had dogs all my life (and cats occasionally!) They need us so much - they are innocent souls like our children that depend on care & love. I work from home so I'm available at all times with great opportunity to hold/care and insure they are feeling calm & secure, well fed, and welcome at all times. I have had my own dogs/cats for 40 years. My dog, Julia, is 2 yrs. old and extremely well trained in all aspects. I live in an apartment that is 50 feet from a back open area of trees & ponds. I also have a fenced dog play area for those who are not accustomed to being leashed and need to run. I currently work from home so I may provide constant oversight & care. My dog, Julia, is extremely friendly without any aggressive behaviors. I can crate your pet should you feel that's required per your specifications. I live in a clean & welcoming apartment with my Pomeranian, Julia. We have a dog park/run/free roam area that I use constantly. In many cases, I feel it's important to bond with your pet by spending personal attention to them upon arrival. Giving a soothing voice, providing calming energy, toys, bones, & cleanliness is incredibly important for their care.
“Rowan takes awesome care of my pups, a 1.5 year old & a 6 year old. They are always happy & content when I get home which lets me know Rowan did an outstanding job with them. Thank you, Rowan. :-)”
“Megan did a fantastic job with our Bella. She walked her sent us pictures keep us very informed what was going on. She even asked if it was ok to take her on a car ride. Which Bella loves but it ask before doing means a lot and shows she care and takes her job very seriously!!! Thank you Megan”
About: I just finished training my own puppy from 8 weeks old on. I love hiking trails with dogs or going on walks anywhere. I have an active lifestyle and love to enjoy the outdoors with dogs. Currently I work full time in teaching with afternoon/evening availability, but will have my whole summer available June-August full time/all day availability for any needs. I do enjoy working out and running if your dog would love to join in! My husband and I have an unfenced 1.5 acre back yard, and live on a quiet road that is easily accessible for leashed walks. We have a fur baby of our own to keep yours company should you choose the boarding/day care option at our home. For care in your home, I treat all spaces with respect. I will be sure to clean up any messes the dog has in or outside unless told otherwise. I also work to be sure your pet has a great time and is well loved while in need of care!

20. Chloey & Ryan T.
“Chloey is a great dog mom! Her care and affection for her puppy is like a real mother. She shows that same care, affection, and nurture to other dogs as well. She has experience with dog training classes, so she knows how to correctly discipline without harm or creating aggression. She is very knowledgeable about the health of dogs, whether it's food, treats, medications, exercise, etc. So if you need Chloey for a dog sitter or dog walker, she would be a GREAT option. I highly recommend her because of her attention to detail, and motherly care.”
