“I cannot recommend Lindsay enough! She did drop-in visits for my two dogs over the weekend, and she went above and beyond in every possible way. She sent me photos at every visit, kept me updated on when she arrived and left, and made sure both of my pups were well-fed and happy. She even turned on Dog TV for my Great Dane to keep him entertained—such a thoughtful touch! Lindsay offered to help around the house, communicated consistently, and left the sweetest Doggy Report Card on the table at the end of her visits. It was such a lovely surprise and showed how much she genuinely cares. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly loved her company. She is kind, professional, and incredibly reliable. I will absolutely be using her services again! 🐾💛”


“Candice was a phenomenal partner in caring for our dog during a week long family trip. Punctual, thoughtful, and a wonderful communicator, Candice provided our dog genuine care and kept our family at ease knowing all was taken care of at home. Would HIGHLY recommend and will look to book again!”


About: HI! My name is Blake. I currently have two Golden Retrievers, a 6 year old and a 5 month old puppy. My 6-year-old has double hip dysplasia, so I have gained a lot of experience taking care of him and ensuring he gets all of his medicine and care! I love meeting all types of dogs and thoroughly enjoy learning their unique characteristics, wants, and needs. I am a very active individual, so I would love to take your dog for long walks or play fetch with them. I work a full-time job during the week, but I have a very flexible schedule and can make trips to my house multiple times a day if needed. For the most part, I will be looking to board only on the weekends, but I could potentially make an exception depending on the type of week I have at work. For drop in feedings and walks, I should be able to accommodate just about any day during the week. I have a fenced in backyard and two friendly golden retrievers that will be more than happy to keep your dog company! Or I am more than happy to crate your dog and keep them separated from my dogs if that is what you prefer.

About: I have always been around dogs my entire life. I have always been in love with dogs and they are something I truly admire. I have been entrusted throughout my life of taking care of my friends and neighbors dogs. I have also worked with dogs from Yorkies all the way to Great Danes so size doesn’t bother me. During my experience I have worked with puppies all the way up to our senior pups making sure every dog is cared for and loved to the highest extent possible. I am currently a part time student, which means I can be around your pets most of the day due to my classes only taking at most 3 hours of my day so I can make sure your pets are loved and appreciated. Taking care of someone else’s pet is truly a privilege to be trusted enough to make sure someone’s baby is cared for and loved as much as you do. I will make sure to communicate and provide you with pictures and videos of your pets throughout and make sure to keep you updated with anything. I am a quick learner and will make to keep your stress levels low.

About: Hello!! I am a 21 year old college student. I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager and I do pet-sit outside of rover as well. I have a lot of experience in different animals ranges from dogs to Guinea pigs to snakes. I am very patient with animals and I love to learn about all the different animals I pet-sit and their preferences. In my family we do not believe in giving up on pets when they get older so I have lots of experience with older animals!! I am currently a part-time college student, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets! I am busy throughout the week so I will only be doing pet-sitting during the weekends when I am off. So if you need a weekend get away then I am person for you!! I don’t believe in fitting an animal into a busy schedule, I would ensure they would be my main priority. I will take care of your pet based on the instructions that are given. I know I would want my pet-sitter to take care of my babies a certain way, so make sure to follow every owners specific rules so I can take care of their fur baby to the best of my ability.

“Absolutely amazing! LeeAnna took her time and kept me updated every step of the way. My dogs were in wonderful hands. She spent so much time with my babies it was a comfort knowing they were well taken care of.”


About: I love taking care of animals and have had pets all my life. I’m very passionate about animal care and worked in an animal hospital for one year in high school.

Though I share an apartment with others and can’t board in my own home, I will make sure to care for the pet in their own home and comfort, making sure I make use of toys, beds, etc.

“Rachel was amazing! She was incredibly communicative and friendly throughout. She made sure both of my dogs’ individual needs were met, engaging with each of them in ways that matched their unique personalities and preferences.

About: I enjoy dog sitting on my off time. I have a pretty hectic work schedule that is all over the place. This makes it hard for me to have my own pup so I love on everyone else’s pups instead. I only take pets on the weeks that my schedule isn’t as crazy. This allows me to give my full attention and spend quality with the pet while I have them. I love cuddling up on the couch with pups. I also enjoy going to the dog park and long walks around the lake for some exercise

About: Farm raised will love and care for any of your fur babies. Slow walks and lots of cuddles makes me the perfect sitter for your fur family. I am a mother of five girls that all have flown the coup, and looking to find exercise and little extra money. I love animals being raised on a farm. I take integrity and trust as a quality I strongly hold. I am trustworthy and hold professionalism to the highest level. I keep myself and my animals safe and happy.

About: I will take you're animal out for a walk around the neighborhood you live in or to a local park. If I do take them to a park you're animal will enjoy a short car ride. I have had all sorts of animals throughout my life growing up. I have plenty of experience with puppies and elders. I did goto school for EMT training so I have first aid experience. I can brush your dog or cats fur if they let me. I will give your dog or cat lots of treats and the 1 on 1 attention they need. We will walk at their pace and take breaks if needed to not over exert them. We will have lots of fun running around and enjoying the fresh air. I have a full time job but it is slightly flexible to help bend to your needs. I can make last minute arrangements as well for the last minute emergencies. I will provide a safe play environment either inside or outside with their toys and provide water and food after they finish exercising if you permit.

Jackie C.
“Jackie took care of my Ellie (Dalmatian) every day at doggie day care. Ellie was so attached to Jackie and so did all the other dogs there?? Jackie also stayed at my house to watch Ellie when we went on vacation. She is very professional and loves the dogs as if they were her own!! We had moved out of the area and had to put Ellie in another doggie day care and my dog hated it / but when my dog went to doggie day care with Jackie she loved it - would get so excited just driving into the entrance ❤️ I wish I could find another Jackie where we live now - she’s one of a kind and I highly recommend her.”
