“Kaitlin and her family took such good care of my girl! I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch her for a week. Communication was excellent and I know she was well taken care of!”
“Kiara was great. Sugar seemed very happy and not stressed from the separation. She goes everywhere with us and that was a major concern. She was easy to work with when our flight was cancelled and we needed to pick her up on a later date than arranged. Will definitely use again.”
“Tina made my dog feel right at home! Mini can be shy, especially with new dogs, but Tina, Molly, and Denali took wonderful care of her and made her part of the pack. I will definitely be sending Mini her way again!”
“Amanda is amazing. Lola loves the whole family. Happy dogs at Amanda’s. Regular updates and feedback. Very responsible care. Thank you Amanda for taking the fear and anxiety out of the equation.”
“My dog was happy and cared for! Olga accommodated to our schedule and was very flexible with our last minute time change. very professional, I highly recommend!”
About: I grew up in a very pet-friendly home and have always been surrounded by animals. My mom consistently had multiple cats at a time, and my dad and stepmom have always had several dogs in the household as well. Because of that, I’m very comfortable caring for both cats and dogs of different personalities and energy levels! I absolutely love animals and so does my entire family. I’m currently a stay at home mom to a 2 year old and almost 1 year old. We love going outside and playing with our two dogs! We spend a lot of time with our dogs and cat giving them love and playing with them! We do not have a fenced yard but our front yard is pretty big and a decent backyard. We can easily use crates for them if needed/preferred.
“Denice is clearly an animal lover and my dogs clearly knew they were among friends. Introduced them to other animals appropriately and my pups seemed happy and healthy at pickup. I was worried they'd be sad because they are used to sleeping in bed with me and would be in kennels but they did really well and she worked to figure out what they specifically needed as she got to know them.”
“Great communication and very responsive to a last-minute scheduling change. They have a comfortable house for small dogs and a fenced back yard. Most importantly, they really like dogs!!! I would definitely feel good about boarding my two little dogs with them again.”
“Our Ginger was in the best care while we were on vacation! We got daily updates with pictures and videos. Each picture or video she was peacefully snoring in someone’s arms. We will gladly have Lacie watch our baby in the future.”
“Ashley sent us great updates on our baby while he stayed with her and asked us questions when needed, which I appreciated. He came back to us happy, which was not the case the last time we left him with a different Rover! Hobie will be staying with Ashley again when we leave on our next trip, and it's lovely having the peace of mind that he's well cared for and happy while we're gone!”
“Nichole has great communication, and went beyond our expectations taking care of our golden, Nala. We have been looking for a good, trustworthy home-away-from home for Nala and we feel like Nichole and her family provide exactly that. Nala got lots of play, snuggles, and attention. They also have a huge fenced yard and well-kept home. When I picked her up she was happy and tired! We highly recommend Nichole if you need a someone to look after your pup!”
“Our 2nd book with Zhenya & she does a wonderful job taking care of our fur baby ❤❤❤ She follows all directions we have for taking care of our Bella. Our fur baby probably remembered her because she ran inside her house as soon she saw her.”
“A dog lover all of her life and a very supportive family that together made our dog feel completely at home. A fenced yard and 2 lovely dogs of her own rounded out our dog's stay. Can't recommend her enough.”
“Madelyn was very flexible for our last minute needs! She seemed very comfortable with different dog personalities and having a wide age range together. Hazel seemed to have a great time and I would definitely use Madelyn again!”
“Trey was amazing, reliable and accommodating! She picked up our pup from the airport, he stayed with her a couple nights and brought him back to the airport for his final ride home! We are so grateful for her knowledge and attention to detail. She also sent us lots of pics/videos to keep us connected/informed.”
“Lindsey was great! My dog felt right at home with her two pups and was well taken care of. Looking forward to having Lindsey watch her in the future when I need a dog sitter.”
“Sarah was amazing! She sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was incredibly attentive and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Iggy absolutely loved his little vacation! He and her pup, Bunny, got along so well. They were adorable. I’ll definitely be booking with Sarah again!”
“Kassandra did an amazing job taking care of my anxious dog. We got updates and appreciate the activity and attention given. My pup came back home happy, calm and relaxed. Wow!!!”

“Hailey did a great job. She always kept in contact with me each day and let me know that she could find the cats if I asked her. Let me know their food and water levels as well. Great job, thank you!”
About: Coming from rural Minnesota, I've been raising animals for as long as I can remember. I take pride in having the honor of caring for fur babies and treat every animal as my own. I work Monday through Friday from 9-5, so I’m available for pet care in the evenings and fully available on weekends. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pets company, I’m here to make sure they’re happy and comfortable while you're away! I have a large fenced backyard and 3 dogs of Mt own who love having new playmates. I live right on a trail that surrounds a nearby park so walking and exercise is a breeze!
“Jennifer went above & beyond! She’s very sweet & bubbly, also professional & kind. She adapted to all my crazy-cat-lady antics & took care of my cat so well! She even cleaned up after a surprise bird massacre…”
“Morgan will 110% be a repeat for me! If she'll have me! 😆 Not only did she take care of my pets special needs (insulin injections), but she went above and beyond to actually make a connection with my fuzzies... AND me! She sent me photos everyday, and even left me adorable tiny Polaroids of them!!🫠🫶 The kind of care she provided, took a HUGE load off my shoulders while being out of state. knowing my animals are happy,eating & safe..its the best. Thank you, again!”
About: I have lived with cats my entire life and have cared for felines with a wide range of personalities. During my time volunteering at an animal shelter, I gained valuable experience managing upper respiratory illnesses and cerebellar hypoplasia in cats. I maintain a well-rounded schedule for feeding and litter changes and have become skilled in administering all kinds of medications. My goal is always to make every kitty friend feel as comfortable, happy, and loved as possible.
“Kaitlyn has been very good with our puppy, letting her outside to go to the bathroom and then play with her and reward for positive behavior (her experience as a dog trainer and vet tech is a bonus!) She updates us at each visit with pictures of our puppy and gives updates on how the drop in visits went. The only reason for 4/5 stars was because there was a scheduling issue where she forgot to cancel with us on a day she wasnt able to make it last minute and the puppy went longer than usual without a potty break (although ended being fine once we got home). However, she was very apologetic about her mistake, promised to not have it happen again, and offered a discount on some of the future visits to remedy her mistake. I appreciate that she took responsibility and sought to correct it the best she could. She has been faithful on all the other visits so far, responds quickly to messages, is polite and professional and I understand that mistakes can happen on occasion so I have continued to use her and would recommend her to others!”

About: I’ve owned animals all my life We have a large area and would love to make the fur babies fell welcome why Mom and Dad are gone. I’m retired and have every day and evening to take care of fur babies I love giving love and comfort while Mom and Dad are gone I’m retired and would enjoy doing care for animals I’m have a full day to care for them I did DayCare for 20 plus years and I miss caring
About: I’ve had cats most of my life but have also had dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, mice, and guinea pigs! Spiders are the only pets I can’t handle. I’m currently unemployed and haven’t been able to find full time work due to the bus driver strike. So, Monday-Friday I take my high schooler to and from school and am free to take care of people’s fur babies all day and night! I love animals and treat them as my fur babies! I spoil them with attention and make sure they are well taken care of and happy!
“Absolutely perfect!!!!! Zhenya went above and beyond making our boys feel right at home. When I picked them up, they were clean & exhausted from a full day of playing . Her and her family were extremely accommodating and flexible as our timeline changed with little notice. I would recommend and use Zhenya again, Thank you!! XO”
“Sharon took care of my puppy for the day-super nice and attentive. Loved that he had room and interaction and she gave me updates! Which I greatly appreciate”
“I absolutely love Trey. She was super kind and loved my dog as if she were her own. It was our first time doing doggy sitting and Trey was very transparent about my dog getting a cut on her face. I didn't mind, since dogs are like that, but the fact that she was up front and honest meant a lot to me. I will be using her services continually in the future and I highly recommend her to anyone else who wants their babies to be treated with love and care.”
About: What sets me apart is my depth of hands-on experience caring for dogs with many different personalities, temperaments, and needs. I’m very comfortable managing multiple dogs, reading body language, and creating a calm environment where dogs feel safe and settle in quickly. I have experience with puppies, including potty routines, crate training foundations, and helping young dogs adjust to new environments. I’m also attentive to senior dogs and those who may need a slower pace, medication, or extra comfort and supervision. Because dogs are such a big part of my daily life, I naturally pay attention to safety, structure, and individual needs. I understand how to introduce dogs carefully to new spaces, prevent overstimulation, and maintain routines so they feel secure while their owners are away. I only accept one household at a time, which allows me to provide personalized care, close supervision, and plenty of attention. My goal is always for dogs to feel relaxed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for-not just watched. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m home frequently throughout the day and dogs are already a central part of my life. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I plan my schedule around the dogs in my care so they aren’t left alone for long periods. I’m able to maintain feeding routines, exercise, and quiet rest time so they feel comfortable and settled. Because I only accept one household at a time, I can focus on their individual needs and make sure they receive personalized care throughout the day. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I create a calm, structured environment where dogs can settle in and feel secure. I only accept one household of dogs at a time, which allows me to provide close supervision and individualized attention without overcrowding or unnecessary stress. I introduce dogs to new spaces gradually and pay close attention to body language, behavior, and comfort levels so I can adjust care to their needs. Dogs have access to comfortable resting areas, regular potty breaks, and supervised outdoor time in a secure space. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, routines, medications, and exercise to maintain consistency. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for during each visit, and I provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident while they are away. My goal is always to create a safe, low stress experience where pets feel relaxed and owners feel complete peace of mind.

So I am open to care for more than just your dogs and cats. I am a SAHM of 3 children(ages, 12, 15, and 19) and 20 plus pets, including our fish & chickens😁.

I frequently foster pregnant cats and dogs so they have a safe space to deliver and care for their litter’s until we can find them living forever homes.
“Can’t brag on Ashley enough! She is a absolute sweetheart and is so amazing with my pup Nova. She watches Nova weekly while I work and never fails to communicate on how Nova is doing throughout the day and is always flexible with her time. Nova has the BEST TIME at Ashley’s and loves playing with her dogs. Thank you for treating Nova like you’re own ❤️”
About: I have been caring for pets for my entire life. Knowing that your baby is as important to you as mine is to me, I will care for your furry friend as I would hope someone would care for my own baby. I’m looking to build my care community and availability so I will be able to help when needed. Currently Saturday and Sunday are fully available. Monday-Friday is mostly open with a few instances where I don’t have flexibility. I will care for your fluffy friends either at your home if that is your preference, or I can offer short term stays at my home. My preference is to keep animals where they are most comfortable.
About: I love animals and being able to help you with your pet care needs. I would love spending some of that time on your canine companions or feline friend. I have owned dogs and cats with a variety of personalities and concerns and love them all. My dogs have ranged in age from one to twenty and eight pound an to eighty. Every pet is unique and special. I have watched dogs and cats off and on for friends and family for more than ten years. I have also raised small animals and reptiles. I am friendly but firm and will treat your furry friend like my own. They will get lots of love, exercise, and petting. Please give me a chance to win over your pet. I am a teacher so busy during the school year and mostly free during the summer. During the school year I am available evenings and weekends. I have two fenced yards. A small one connected to the house with a dog door and a bigger one. I have chickens who live in the bigger one during the summer. I am not currently having doggie visitors overnight as my cats don't like it.
“Sage took wonderful care of Ollie who needed a quiet, loving environment while we went to dinner and a show. She showed great sensitivity to his special needs (he is recovering from surgery), and was very reassuring and professional with us throughout the process. We will definitely call upon Sage the next time we are in Ashland.”
“Faelyn was very careful with introducing my shy, reluctant dog to her two dogs. My dog loved playing in the large fenced in yard with her dogs and was welcomed like one of the family. I hope to use her services again.”
About: Adult human with many years of pet-owning and pet-sitting experience. Have hosted 15 foster dogs and puppies in past 2 years, setting them up for success with regular exercise and clear and consistent rules. I have a good set-up for hosting both dogs and cats responsibly. Please contact with any questions. I am a stay-at-home supportive spouse, meaning I am available to treat your pets like I treat my own. My pets are spoiled. And well-behaved. For dogs - have a fenced-in yard for safe pottying. I have a friendly adult female dog - spayed, and two well-behaved cats. I have local trails available where I exercise my own dog.

For cats, I have an unused bedroom set up as a private suite, that my own pets do not have access to. This room has a window and plenty of cat napping options. I live on a quiet street. I am available to give your cat as much attention as they desire.
About: My attention to detail, reliability, and genuine care for each dog's unique needs. I don't just supervise, I actively engage with them through activities, routines, and create a safe environment. My goal is to make every dog happy and every family feel at ease. I work at school and I'm currently off of work during all summer, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I have a yard where they can play, I also have a fenced potty area, toys, beds, and blankets. My three teenagers and my three fur babies are gonna be excited to take care of yours.
About: Hi! Both my husband and I have grown up in Alaska helping care for small chihuahuas all the way up to wolf-hybrids. We are a fun and loving couple with 2 small doodles of our own, 3 stories of house to play in, a small backyard/potty area, and located right next to a doggy park. We can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I work from home permanently, so I am able to provide care all day long for your fur baby. While I work, typically my two doodles spend their time snacking and watching TV! Once the work day is up, to the park we go! I have two miniature sized doodles to keep your dog company. Additionally, we have many toys available to play with, ample treats, and a small backyard area for potty with an additional park right next door. Both of my doodles are fixed and crate trained. :)

About: I have taken care of all sizes of dogs for about 8 months now. My family and family friends have trusted me to take care of their fur babies. Feeding them, giving them their meds, and following a daily routine (given from family of the dog) were all apart of things I’ve had to do as a dog house sitter. I have a job, I work about 6hour shifts at least 5 days a week and my schedule changes every week.I do school online so I will be able to do it whenever I have free time. BUT I am almost done with school and will be graduating in May. I would care for your pets by taking them outside, playing with them, feeding them, bathing them if necessary, and giving medicine if also necessary.

I look forward to meeting your fur babies! i am currently only doing pet sitting, so i am free to attend to needs through out the day + week. please reach out for availability! Dog walking: I do my best to stick to your pets routines. If your dog is on a more structured schedule/obedience, I will keep them on that schedule. I will keep pets crated if told to do so. Walks will always start with greeting/leashing, then we head out for fun! Upon arrival back to your home, pups will get a treat, fresh water, and some love before I leave. Pet photos will be sent to the client after our walk. For house boarding & Doggy Day Care: all pets including my own dog, will always be crated upon leaving the home for their own safety. I will only allow dogs to stay in my home upon meeting the dog first, and making sure they're dog friendly and okay with cats. I prefer to keep only one other dog in my home at a time but will make exceptions for the right dogs/fit. dogs are expected to be well behaved in my home and not have destructive or aggressive habits.
