“Kena was great and very kind! Our dog was not used to being without us and Kena was extremely patient with his less than model behavior. We learned a lot about of dogs behavior through this experience and will be able to take that with us when planning future care. Her family is great and they provide a safe and happy environment. We would recommend Kena to anyone! Mahalo!”
“My dog loooooves Danielle so much! She sends me pictures when he is with her and he always looks so happy. She is able to pick him up and bring him home and he is always ecstatic to see her when she arrives. He comes home a happy healthy guy every time. I'm so grateful for her.”
“Holly took care of my very nervous 14 year old dog Abbie for 10 days. I received multiple photos and videos updates throughout the time. Holly patiently worked with Abbie, helping her to get over her fears. I now say my Abbie has two mommies! I recommend Holly without reservation. Your dog will be well taken care of while you are away.”
“Everytime Bear is there he has such an good time at Tylyn's place. My dog is rarely tired so when he comes home all out of energy I know he loves it there. Tylyn is able to calm bear down and treat him like family.”
“Jessica was very kind and patient with my wild boy! She was communicative and sent me updates daily. We are excited to have found Jessica to keep an eye on our pup this summer!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so being around them has always felt natural to me. I recently graduated from Chico state and currently have two dogs of my own a 6 year old toy poodle and a 5 months old border collie mix. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your dog or cat with someone else. That’s why I do my best to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just relax and get cuddles, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family, and I’ll always keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I currently work part time at Bath & Body Works and usually only have 2–3 shifts a week, so my schedule is very flexible. When I’m not working, I’m home spending time with my own dogs. This allows me to be available for different drop-off and pick-up times and gives me plenty of time to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I treat every pet like they’re one of my own. My home is a safe, loving environment where pets get lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll do my best to follow their normal routine and help them feel right at home.
“This was Beau’s first stay with Forest. He took Beau for long walks a few times a day, and he provided daily updates with photos. Forest treated our pup as if he were his own, and his home is well-suited for dogs. We would definitely use Forest again for our future boarding needs. Thank you!”
“Jennifer was very accommodating to our short notice need for care for my dog. She was very communicative and sent pictures and updates during Rivers short stay. River came home happy and we are thankful for the great care she got with Jennifer.”
“Lesly was great with our Dog JJ. He was apparently very comfortable at her place and got lots of attention. She even Texted us several photos of him and he didn’t show any symptoms of separation anxiety, that we were worried about. Great Sitter!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, administering basic medications, providing playtime and companionship, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand the importance of following each dog's routine and giving them the attention and care they need I work a part-time job, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for dog sitting. I am available before and after work for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I ensure pets receive plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I carefully manage my schedule to provide reliable, consistent care and keep pets comfortable in their regular routine I can care for pets either in my home or in the owner's home, depending on their needs. I provide attentive care, regular exercise, feeding, companionship, and a safe environment while ensuring each pet's routine is maintained as closely as possible
“Deena was great with my dogs she was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Greatly appreciate the photos and updates! The dogs had a great yard to run in with lots of toys. Highly recommend Deena for your pet sitting needs! Thank you!!”
“Ally was amazing for our Malcolm. She quickly responded and sent lots of updates during his stay. She was so helpful and trustworthy. We would definitely have her watch Malcolm again.”
About: I have helped out w my friends pets, both dogs & cats throughout the years, I have worked w young & adult animals. With my flexible schedule, I can care for animals per their specific needs. My schedule is flexible since my daily job is a hairdresser, so I can adjust my schedule to fit in needs for each animal individually. I have a small fenced in yard at my home, would prefer to do in clients home, since most animals are more comfortable with that.
“Even living in an apartment do not hesitate leaving large dogs here. Teralene is awesome. I have a very large lab and she handled her perfectly. 10 of 10 score. Thank you so much again see you next time”
“We had a great experience with Yesenia! My husband and I are very thorough when we are choosing a sitter for our dogs. We like to make sure that the environment is welcoming, safe, and fun for them as they are our family members (we look for sitters who allow dogs on furniture and on the bed and are good with dogs who have dietary restrictions). Yesenia was very understanding and after a meet and greet, we felt very comfortable having her watch our girls in her home. She has a great space for sitting and a wonderful backyard where our girls could run around with each other! She even asked if we had any preferential instructions that we may not have included in our online request. She was very responsive when we asked for updates on our dogs' stay and sent pictures to us as well. Her availability was also a great fit for us. We will definitely use Yesenia again and would highly recommend her for others as well.”
“Lynette was nothing less than fantastic. Scout was happily exhausted and seems to have made some new friends. Lynette sent frequent updates and let us share in the fun with pictures.”
“Literally the most amazing pet sitter! This was my puppies first time being away from me. Mary has been nothing but loving to my little Bella. She sent me photos and videos to update me throughout the day. As soon as I dropped her off, Mary sent me adorable videos! Mary and her husband are incredibly sweet and made me feel more than comfortable, even excited to have my puppy stay with them. I knew that Bella was going to be in great hands. They asked lots of questions when I dropped her off and helped me carry all Bella’s stuff inside their house. Their dogs were sweet and gentle with her. I am so happy! I am 100% booking with Mary again! If you want a great pet sitting experience and a second home for your dog when you need it, book with Mary! My puppy was so incredibly happy and loved!”

“Ashley took care of our beloved Murphy expertly. She always provided pictures and updates to us. She was also available wherever we needed to talk on the phone. While she house sat and took care of our cat, she also watered all our plants and our home was spotless after our week-long vacation. We would highly recommend Ashley to care for any of your fur babies and home.”
“Kassandra did an awesome job taking care of my cat Nala while I was away camping for 4 days! They were super responsive, communicative, and provided great updates. Nala seemed happy with their company, and I could tell Nala was well taken care of. They went above and beyond to ensure Nala's comfort and happiness. I feel lucky to have found them on Rover and I'll work with Kassandra again in the future. 10/10 - Would recommend!”
“Tyler was great, he met with us before we left and felt very trustworthy. He asked great questions and based on the photos he sent, our cats were at ease with him. We'd definitely have Tyler help us out again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I came into this world! Always watching over, loving, and caring for a variety of animals. At one point my family had 6 dogs to take care of and love! I have a very soft spot for elder animals and truly love caring for them! I love to watch and play with cats, and have experience cat sitting (usually 2 young male cats). I am currently a full time student, with a lot of free time throughout the week! I’d love to fill that time walking, playing, or spending time with your pet! I have a big fenced in backyard, front, and side yard that is perfect for playing! I have 2 roommates, both very loving and caring for animals similar to me! The space I live in is not noisy, and the overall space is very quiet. I love to play with animals and keep them active if that is desired by pet owners! I am very close to Bidwell Park which is perfect for long walks and getting energy out!
About: I’ve grown up around cats and though I don’t have any of my own now, I am always looking for new cats to be around and help. We tend to get along well. I spend much of my own time reading on the couch and most cats I’ve met seem to enjoy joining me, or glaring at me from the other side of the room which is alright too.
“Jody was so caring and communicative. You can tell she really loves animals. She stepped up and watched our kitties for us on thanksgiving which was such a blessing as we got to go out of town and visit family. Her care and follow up made us feel so comfortable and allowed us to truly enjoy our time knowing that they were well cared for. Thanks for going above and beyond Jody!”
About: I adopted a kitten 16 years ago. When I moved into my first house, He was my best bud and he was a special breed. Maine Coon/Norwegian forest cat. His personality was amazing and smart, and he ran this house. I just lived in it to serve him. Sadly cancer has taken him away from me in October 2025 and it was the hardest goodbye I have ever dealt with in my entire life and it breaks my heart just talking about it. Since then I have adopted a new member of our family named Abel and I see gizmo in this new kitten more than I ever imagined I would. He is adorable, He is nuts, and he definitely has his fair share of craziness, as most kittens do. I’m very experienced with cats. I’ve grown up with cats and dogs and they’re not just pets. They’re not just cats. They are my kids. And any cat that’s in my possession and that is my responsibility at the time would be treated the same way with love and compassion and a lot of company. I guarantee you they will be treated as a member of my family, and I would focus all my efforts to your loved furr babies!
About: I’ve cared for seniors, puppies, post surgeries, mischievous kitties and extra needy pets of all kinds ☺️ years of working with horses, living with my anxious chihuahua mix, and helping to raise the chunky pitties in my life has prepared me for almost every situation. I’ll keep a cool head and stick to your instructions while showering lots of love on your furry family member. I grew up around cats, dogs, horses, and birds! My love for animals knows no bounds, and I’m always the one getting distracted by a cute dog on the sidewalk (or TikTok). I’ve had great experiences booking care for my own dog through Rover, and I understand how hard it can be to find and trust the right person when we have to be away from them! My hope is that we can work together and create the best plan for keeping your furry kids happy and safe. I keep communication open and often so that we are all comfortable and on the same page. I pay attention and meet your pet where they’re at so we can build our own trusting and loving bond. I work remotely from home, so I can be flexible to meet your needs. My partner and I work together to ensure our own dogs are cared for, comfortable, and get lots of sniffing time outside. I’d love to speak with you about the best way to accommodate your schedule. I prefer to meet with you and your pet before scheduling a service to ensure that everyone is comfortable. I like to take the opportunity to ask any clarifying questions and walk through expectations so that there are no gray areas about the best ways to care for your pet and keep them safe.
About: While I don’t have cats of my own, I regularly take care of my mom’s cat when she’s out of town. I have helped her find a litter that works well for her, as well as replace harmful treats with ones that “make her fur softer than ever”. I recently met two cats who were polar opposites and I was lucky enough to be greeted by the one who never says hi to strangers :)
About: I adore cats! Respecting them is key-when they want attention and when to leave them alone. Experienced with grooming long and short hair, indoor and outdoor. I'll be there for if your cat is super cuddly, wants to play, or just needs a clean litterbox. I'll follow any care instructions you provide and be sure to keep you updated on their wellbeing :)
About: I have worked with all types of animals, breeds and personality types. I’ve done dog walking/pet sitting for about 6 years and absolutely adore it! I am comfortable with any special needs or unique temperaments. (Most of my experience has been off this app, hence my lack of reviews… I am more than happy to provide references individually!) I’m currently available anytime during the day or night, weekdays and weekends. I can do overnights as well. As long as we plan ahead all should be good! I have a lot of time to stay with the pets in their own home so they will have lots of stimulation and attention! I love taking them anywhere they love, walking around the neighborhood, trips to dog beach, or supervising play dates with their furry friends!
About: I have over 6 years of experience caring for cats, including my own four with very different personalities, from playful kittens to more independent, sometimes feisty adults. This has taught me to read feline body language and give each cat the right mix of space, play, and affection. I’m comfortable with litter box cleaning, feeding schedules, administering simple medications, and light grooming. Whether your cat loves lap time or prefers quiet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, secure, and cared for.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life. I’ve dealt with a lot of different cats with extremely different personalities and I’ve loved them all. 2 of the cats I’ve owned have needed oral medication (pill and liquid), so I’m very comfortable doing that. I’ve also fostered many litters so they could find their forever home :)
“Monisha provided excellent service caring for our chickens. She sent dozens of photos and videos our way and even reported suspicious behavior in the neighborhood while we were away. Great communicator. Highly recommended.”
About: I have a strong background in animal behavior, safety, and handling across a wide range of species including exotic pets, livestock, aquatic life, and common household animals. With 12+ years of experience working with horses and instructing beginner riders. I am experienced in professional dog bathing, small-scale breeding, livestock care, and much more. With entrepreneurial experience through ownership of Liv’s Critters, a reptile breeding and education business.

“Kena was amazing. She accommodated our dog on short notice, took amazing care of him, and was in constant contact with us sending pictures and updates. Our dog was so excited to go back to Kena’s for a second day of daycare. Excellent experience!!!”
“Lynnette is very caring and dependable. My Sammy loves her so much, he cries when we pull into her driveway. He can’t wait to get to her! I know that Sammy will be safe and well-cared for whenever he is with Lynnette. Bonus: Cash is a big, friendly dog and gets along great with my little guy.”
“Holly has been an amazing sitter for our Goldendoodle. Our dog tends to be high-strung but she is totally relaxed with Holly and enjoys going on walks. It didn't take our dog long to feel comfortable with Holly. We are really happy with her service.”

“Jessica was great! She took our dog in last minute for the day and sent us updates throughout the time. The backyard was huge and had plenty of space for the dog to run and sniff.”
“My 2 dachshunds spent the day with Forest who was a kind, thoughtful and conscientious host. He had everything they needed for the day including a fenced backyard. I felt very comfortable leaving them even though I hadn’t had a chance to meet Forest before that day. I highly recommend him.”
“Kassandra did a great job taking care of my pup. She responded quick to my request and was there to meet me when I dropped my dog off. She had a Mello dog and a nice backyard for my girl to hang out in. Would definitely consider booking with her again!”
“Autumn was great!!! She came and met my dog before the doggy day care stay. She made sure my dog was comfortable with her and followed all my instructions. My dog got along well with Bruno, Autumn’s dog. Bruno is very friendly. She took videos of them playing and sent me regular photo updates,which I really appreciated. I will continue working with Autumn for doggy day care! Thank you!”

About: I have experience caring for many dogs for friends family and neighbors. I often would care for my neighbors dog since he was a puppy, parents worked full time and puppies need all the attention they can get so I helped train him. I also trained my own puppy Melo, he’s still growing and learning but I love being his mom. I take extra care of his supplements and nutrition so I know the importance of taking the extra time to do all of that. I have a verry good schedule with being home, I have two dogs of my own iam always coming home at lunch whenever I work. My husband also has a great schedule and helps me out whenever iam not here . When boarding with me I’ll have my dogs stay under my moms care while I pay full attention to your critter. I live in a house with a huge yard they can run around. I am also close enough to bidwell park to go on walks if you’d like that!
About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been an integral part of my life. My experience isn't limited to just my own pets; it spans years of caring for family dogs, friends' companions, and my own beloved canines, establishing a long and diverse history of hands-on dog management. My connection to dogs is rooted in a lifelong love and respect for them. This isn't just a hobby; it's a profound commitment. Because of this, I consistently prioritize their well-being and safety above all else. My philosophy is simple: the dog's needs always come first. I am a working as a student worker and not just that I am also a full time student worker. I will be able to take care of pets working around my scheduled make sure the animal is the number one priority. For as long as I can remember, dogs have been an integral part of my life.

“Danielle took good care of my dog who has separation anxiety and does not like other dogs. She was very considerate of my dogs needs and my wonky schedule. Thank you for taking care of my pup”
About: I grew up in a house full of dogs and cats, and I have professionally pet sat since I was a teen. My duties have included feedings, walkings, cleanings, medication dispensing, and so on. I currently work at Enloe during the week, and my husband is home during the day to help with all animal needs! We do have a sweet, friendly German Shepherd in the house that gets along very well with all dogs. It is important to me that your pets are safe, fed, walked, and have fresh water daily. I am willing to follow whatever is your normal routine to keep your pet happy and healthy while you are away.
About: I bring a lifetime of animal care experience to every pup I watch. From leading 4H swine projects to raising multiple dogs at a time, animals have always been part of my daily life. I have taken several animal care courses and have an EMT background, so I am confident handling everything from routine needs to unexpected situations. I also specialize in leash training and love working with both energetic puppies and gentle seniors. My friends laugh that I would make a great dog photographer because I cannot resist capturing their personalities and quirks. More than anything, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you are away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I enjoy starting mornings with walks, building in play sessions in the afternoon, and winding down with cuddle time in the evenings. Whether it is a quick walk, training time, or just hanging out together, I love making sure each dog feels included in the rhythm of my day. When dogs stay with me for boarding or overnight care, they become part of my household. They get a comfortable place to rest, plenty of playtime, and regular walks built into the day. I make sure their routines are followed as closely as possible so they feel at home, whether that means a favorite toy at bedtime or a certain feeding schedule. For daily walks or playtime day dates, I focus on keeping them active, engaged, and safe. Walks include leash training reinforcement if needed, and playtime is all about burning off energy in a fun, positive way. I know how important this care is because I have been on the other end of the service myself. That experience drives me to give every pet loving attention, a safe environment, and peace of mind for their people while they are away.
“Mary was available last minute and took great care of my dogs. ?She ensured my dogs were up to date on their shots, asked about their feeding schedule and took great pics. My dogs had a fabulous time in her backyard and with her dogs. ?Would definitely use again next time I’m in the area. ♥️”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have always been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science (Pre-Vet) at Chico State and working toward my Veterinary Assistant certification, which has given me hands-on experience in proper animal handling, behavior, and care. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats extensively, including volunteering at animal and cat shelters. As a pet owner myself (from a Belgian Malinois to a Chihuahua, and currently a cat), I understand how unique each animal’s needs can be. I’m also involved in Guide Dogs for the Blind, where I help train dogs; building strong skills in patience, consistency, and communication. Most importantly, I care not only about your pets but about your peace of mind. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my own cat with a consistent feeding schedule, fresh water, enrichment, and medication when needed. I also regularly work with livestock, keeping me active in hands-on animal care. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, and I take care to remove any potential hazards. I closely follow each pet parent’s instructions, including feeding routines, medications, and any specific care needs. I take time to understand each pet’s personality so I can provide patient, attentive care that helps them feel safe and stress-free. I also carry basic animal first aid supplies and am prepared to respond calmly in case of emergencies. Building trust with pet parents is just as important to me as caring for their pets. I provide updates, communicate clearly, and aim to give helpful feedback when needed. My goal is for you to feel completely confident while you’re away and to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet.
“Tyler was amazing. He responded in minutes with my one day notice request and he was more than welcoming. He proposed a meet and greet and he was very nice and friendly. Nobody else I would ever trust with my blind baby!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I have experience with dogs who have special needs, specifically, neurological disorders requiring medication administration. I’ve spent the last two years training my dog, Bubba, through separation anxiety and reactive aggression. He went from chasing cats to occasionally taking naps with them. My first dog, Lilly, was reactive to dogs and when I brought home Bubba as a puppy, my family called him “snack” because they didn’t think it was possible, but she immediately took him in and they were inseparable for 7 years! I’ve always been gifted at reading animals - humans, not so much. I will always advocate for those who can’t advocate for themselves :) I’m available every day, whenever you need! I recently quit my job and needed a fun way to get a little extra cash before moving to the PNW! Unfortunately, my dog is an anti-social introvert and doesn’t like visitors. His house, his rules… However, I’m more than happy to care for your pet inside of your home!
About: I've taken care of pets outside of my own for about five years; some puppies, some elderly dogs, many cats. I'm always excited to spend time with and take care of new pets and ready to provide whatever they need! I have recently graduated from college and have no current conflicts in my schedule. I am available whenever and for however long you need! My pet care routine typically involves a shorter walk in the morning and a long walk or wander through the park in the evening, but I am flexible and can work with what your pet needs! I have a small fenced portion of the yard and a dog friendly home that your pet can roam around in freely, I also live close to the park and will definitely walk the dogs down there to cool off in the creek if they need it!
About: I have grown up with Dogs and cats as a child. Also had bunny’s, reptiles, and gerbils for that matter! LOL! I’ve had the same Beautiful Most Awesome cat named Gizmo for 15 years until October of last year when cancer took him from me! I’m deeply saddened still. And please believe me when I say. “It was the hardest thing I ever had to do or went thru”. He was my best bud and I loved saying hello when I got home but when he was gone it has been my hardest goodbye! I now dog/New puppy sit for a good family friend. And love every minuet of it! I also clean and make sure the home is presentable and reasonably ready for their mom to get home and not have to worry about cleaning their mess. Or her own. If client is comfortable with that. Then I would do anything that was asked of me! I’m very punctual and respectful and take into account what the client needs not what I think they need. It’s your family member. It’s your house, all you got to do is talk to me and let me know what you need and I will do my best at providing that service. I also have 1 dog named Bella and 2 cats named Abel and Mozart in our family. Update: Bella past from cancer a few weeks ago, and Mozart passed 2 weeks ago due to kidney disease ! We have suffered so much loss in the past 8 months. We now have Abel and Delilah. Delilah is a 3 month old kitten and Abel is a 1 yr old! Lots of fun! Please check my pets profile to see pics of them. And let me tell you. This is their house. We just live in it! LOL. Abel is new. I adopted him shortly after some grieving time over Gizmo. And he is just like gizmo. Big personality and very much a pain in my rear. But he’s our child. And he’s so beautiful! Than you so much for your time in reading this. And don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I am a partially disabled person. I have a disease that affects my hips and lower spine, and then a disease that we believe. I contracted through my father‘s service in Vietnam, but don’t worry nothing that’s contagious. LOL. Nothing that is Gunna take me out anytime soon but getting out of the house to go take care of fur babies is the best thing for me. It gives me exercise. It gives me purpose and it gives me the ability to give the love that I have to give away to other members of peoples families. I’m truly honest and respectful, and need more purpose in my life to help other’s, my hips and my Parkinson’s disease will not slow me down. I’m young still at 41 and I will continue to do anything and everything I can to help anyone in everyone that I can. I would like to continue helping by doing this service for you and your family.. And NOTHING WILL keep me from doing anything and everything needed in any case of taking care of your home or your furbaby. unfortunately, I can only take care of people’s homes & their fur babies in their home, because of my furbabies. Thank you for understanding. I will keep your home in pristine condition. Cat boxes will be cleaned 2 to 3 times a day unless instructed otherwise. I’m very particular about that for your fur babies and your home will be treated with respect and love and cared for by me, which means I will put my all into anything that you need taken care of.
“Alisa was above and beyond the best dog walking experience I could have ever hoped for! My boy Porter absolutely loved her from day one! Alisa is very sweet and very prompt with her responses, and she made me feel at ease with her daily updates and photos of Porter. Thank you so much Alisa, you are absolutely wonderful!!”
About: I love going for long hikes in the park or shorter jaunts in the suburbs. I'm careful about following food and care plans, and after a good walk, I'll make sure they get a snack and water! I am always attentive for when they want affection, need to burn some energy, or go outside! I regularly check for health concerns and how they're doing. The first thing I always check is food and water bowl are clean. If they're free feeding, I'll always make sure it's full. I'm on time with a schedule too! A lot of pets don't like strangers, so I'll give them all the time they need to be comfortable.

About: I’ve taken care of animals professionally since I was 15, and I’ve also cared for friends and families pets since I was 10. I’ve worked with animals of all ages, as well as ones that are disabled or need medication. I highly enjoy being around animals. My pets are my world, and I love meeting new animals and being able to care for them. I recently graduated from college and I’m currently working as I’m waiting for admission into the nursing program. I am looking to do something I love and to help others with their life at the same time. I usually will be working every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday from between 5:30am-12:30pm, but morning drop-ins before work shouldn’t be an issue and I can also drop in after work. I’ve had multiple pets in the past. I currently have one cat named Thumper. I enjoy spending time with her and taking her on walks, as she is very curious. She has brain damage as well as very bad anxiety, so she does require more care than normal. She also gets oral medication everyday for her anxiety so she can stay calm and not feel stressed all of the time.

No pet is too complicated for me! (Except maybe snakes) My schedule is kept open for pet care. It helps me stay motivated when I get to play catch with and love on the kitties and doggies I have a fenced in large backyard with no holes. I do have two pet friendly dogs and two pet friendly cats in my home and they are all great with other animals. I believe that it is important to respect other people’s homes and care for their pets as if they were my own. Pets are not only companions, they are family members.

Your dog will be well taken care of while you are away.”

“This was Beau’s first stay with Forest. He took Beau for long walks a few times a day, and he provided daily updates with photos. Forest treated our pup as if he were his own, and his home is well-suited for dogs. We would definitely use Forest again for our future boarding needs. Thank you!”

“Literally the most amazing pet sitter! This was my puppies first time being away from me. Mary has been nothing but loving to my little Bella. She sent me photos and videos to update me throughout the day. As soon as I dropped her off, Mary sent me adorable videos! Mary and her husband are incredibly sweet and made me feel more than comfortable, even excited to have my puppy stay with them. I knew that Bella was going to be in great hands. They asked lots of questions when I dropped her off and helped me carry all Bella’s stuff inside their house. Their dogs were sweet and gentle with her. I am so happy! I am 100% booking with Mary again! If you want a great pet sitting experience and a second home for your dog when you need it, book with Mary! My puppy was so incredibly happy and loved!”

About: I am a retired veterinary professional and lifelong animal lover. I have two extremely friendly pups, Pukka and Tildon, that are happy to share their space if your kiddo would enjoy it. I have a fenced back yard. Our household goes on one (if not more) walks a day. My boys are well leash trained and would welcome a walking buddy. Depending on your location I'd also be happy to walk your pup solo. We love cats and I am happy to give anything from a few water and kibble top offs and litter box changes as needed to nightly cuddles and adoration. I offer a love and care for all critters (snakes, birds, rabbits, turtles, fish, dogs, cats, horses, you name it!), 10+ years of experience in the veterinary field, and an understanding of animal handling that I know will bring you comfort in my work. If your pet requires special care such as insulin injections, oral medications, SQ fluids, etc please notify me. I am comfortable with medical procedures but reserve the right to adjust my pricing according (upon discussion of course). I work 8-4:30 most days. I am two minutes away from home and always come home to check on the critters on my lunch. We go for walks in them morning before work and there is a dog door into the back yard that can be open if needed. Fenced (6+ feet) back yard with locked gate. I have door dog insert on my back door so everyone can come and go as they please. I live in a small one room studio with a yard about four times its size. Dogs are allowed on the bed and there is a step up onto the bed for senior citizens. It is a small but very comfortable space.
