“Trust had a great time at Aron’s! It took her a minute to adjust to being with multiple dogs. But once she did she was chilling in a nice big yard. I picked her up tired and happy. :) Aron is very responsive and I feel safe leaving my pup with him again.”
“Lynn was incredible with my Min Pin. She is very good at caring for my dog and training him to go through doggy door, manners and long walks. I highly recommend Lynn as a sitter and look forward to using her again. Thank you for caring for my son.”
“We had such a great experience with Grant. He took such good care of my baby, she even came home with better manners than she had when she went to him. Kyra stayed with Grant and his pack for a whole week and the whole time I received updates and pictures of all the fun she was having. After picking her up, Kyra was exhausted which is hard to achieve. My dog had so much fun with the other animals and everyday I received pictures of her daily adventures. His goal is to tire them out and make you feel comfortable about leaving them. I will definitely be using Grant in the future. Thank you, Grant!”
“Our dogs had a great time! Nicole was super communicative and sent lots of pictures. Everything was above and beyond - definitely recommend and will definitely keep her in mind for our next trip.”
“Tristi did an amazing job! She was communicative, attentive, and made sure all the pups were safe, comfortable, and happy. It's clear she genuinely cares about dogs, and that gave me so much peace of mind. Her family was wonderful too! I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Our pup was very happy in Delila’s care and playing her fellow doodle! Delila was very responsive and updated us with a photo each day. Planning to book again in the near future!”
“It was our first time leaving our dog anywhere and Arwen and her family made us feel so much more at ease about it. They even kept trying to make our big guy comfortable when he was having separation anxiety. I would highly recommend having her watch your fur babies!”
“George had a great stay with Kelsey! She kept us informed with pictures and comments on how he was doing throughout the time there. We felt very comfortable with Kelsey’s care.”
“Ruby does a great job and communicates well. The pictures and videos sent daily are wonderful. I would recommend Ruby for dog care and we hope to use Ruby’s service again on future needs.”
“She was an awesome sitter . Never had an issue . Sent me photos and updates sometimes before I even messaged to check in on Lani. Lani seemed like she had a real good time. She even had Lani playing ball with her baby and having fun. Thank you Poulette , definetly will return when I need a sitter .”
“We just picked up our Cooper and I can tell he had a great time. Alba and her family were fantastic. They went above and beyond to see that our boy was played with and well exercised while we were away for Christmas no less! I would not hesitate again to reach out and ask them to watch our 85 pound golden. We received multiple photos and texts! Thank you, Alba, Bernard, and kids, you were great! Happy new year to you and your family.”
About: Since high school I have had experience with normal pets to the exotic! I can honestly say that each animal is an individual that deserves their specific needs acknowledged and met. I do have experience with senior animals that need medication as well as special needs, there hasn’t been an experience that I haven’t learned from! I’ve even read books like Caesar’s Way in order to better understand my own pets and help them. I’ve even been known to be a bit of a perfectionist although that was in my earlier years now I can gladly say am a seasoned sitter! Please feel free to reach out to me before booking my care and I will answer any and all questions! Caring for your family member fits into my routine because at the moment I am a dog Mom of one dachshund with a good partner that loves her as much as I do! I also do volunteer work, which is extremely flexible. Aside from that a lot of what I do is online, which works out great when pet care is involved I will care for your family member by noting all of their needs as well as asking any questions I have about the environment if it was not already covered in our introduction. I like to take notes!
“Jennifer was a pleasure to work with. She was always quick to respond and she sent lots of photos of our boy having fun with her pup. He came home exhausted, that's a good thing! We will certainly use Jennifer again! Thank you again Jennifer!”
“Tiffany took great care of our boy and treated him like a part of the family. She was very communicative and sent a ton of pictures, which is great. It allowed us to have our weekend out of town knowing Kona was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Sandra is amazing, she took such a good care of our puppy, she is caring and definitely loves dogs! We would 100% recommend her and we'll use her services every time from now on. Thank you Sandra!”
“Bear loved his time with Linda! He had a blast playing with the other dogs and running around the property, he came home so tired and so happy. His whole life he’s been terrified of the water but he felt so comfortable that he even jumped in the pond a few times for a swim! Linda sent us pictures and kept us updated the whole time we were gone, it really helped us relax a little more and felt so good to know he was in such great hands! We also really appreciate that they do not take on too many dogs at one time so we know that Bear is getting the attention he needs and likes. We will definitely be bringing Bear back here in the future. Thank you so much Linda for taking care of our boy!”
“Absolutely wonderful person and family for our pup to stay with! Amanda was great at caring for our senior pup and we appreciate knowing she was in safe hands during our trip.”
“It was my first time with using Rover and my dogs seemed to love being there and looked like they were having so much fun! They sent me updates and photos! I will definitely be taking my dogs back.”
“Laura took care of our 19 year old poodle and did a great job! She sent us messages to keep us posted on how Mochi was doing and also a video of Mochi eating which was a concern because she is a picky eater. Mochi spent time in her backyard and was even described as frolicking which showed us mochi was happy and relaxed at Laura’s! We definitely recommend Laura to watch your babies! 🥰”

“Carrington is one of the most enthusiastic and thorough sitters I've had. She sent lots of pictures, detailed updates, and proactively reached out about any issues or questions that came up. She cares deeply about animals and makes sure she is meeting their needs. 100% recommended! She's awesome.”
“We've used Kay several times now as a cat-sitter, and each time our cat is happy and healthy when we return, we get plenty of thorough updates, and our house is just as we left it. Thanks, Kay!”
About: I have dog sat professionally for the past two years and do not mind dogs that bark or need special care. I enjoy taking time out of my day to give them extra walks and potty breaks as needed. I don’t have other pets currently so will not bother the dogs. I also have experience walking multiple dogs at a time without an issue. I will not leave the dog unattented if it needs special care and will make sure to take the time out of each day to take them out to a dog park ir whatever is exciting for the dog to enjoy. Running with dogs or taking them on bike rides as requested it also feasible. If you are needing a cat sit or boarding, I will make sure to let you know in advance if I have other dogs at my place before I accept.
“I’ve booked with her three times now. This time - for drop-ins with my cat, and she has been consistently great. She always makes sure his litter box is clean, his food and water are full, and she takes the time to play with him, which I really appreciate. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands while I’m away. She does a wonderful job, and I’ll definitely keep booking with her!”
“Mikayla is great! Her communication is excellent, and she did a great job of giving one of our kitties his medication, which can be difficult. We are glad to have found her!”
“Sienna took amazing care of my kitties for the weekend and made me feel super relaxed and comfortable. My cats are very shy but she got them out of their shells the first day with her attentiveness and care. Sienna did an excellent job communicating throughout the weekend and sent me a ton of pictures of my cats which made me so happy! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone- you can really tell she cares deeply for animals.”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care and been around cats since I was little. I’m extremely in tune with their quirks and reading what they’re okay and not okay with. I’ve had 3 of my own cats, male and female. I know how to give oral medications and injections.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child all the way from administration of medicine to birthing animals on a farm to just feeding and walking and loving on animals. I have had experience with puppies all the way to seniors. I have also helped train animals on and off. I would love to have the chance to be your fur babies next best friend. I am free almost always as I work from home. I work from home and I am free almost always and always can make time for animals. I am free mornings all the way to evenings. I live on a farm in a fenced in yard. My sheep are separated from the other animals but do well around the sheep but I would keep clients animals away. One dog is an outside dog but comes in and one is a full time inside dog. She sleeps with me and loves to go on car rides and both are friendly animals. I have cats who live on the farm but they do there on thing and get along well with other animals. I can follow instructions well if you have a certain way you would like things done.
“I came home shortly after Jasmine came to check up a final time and dropped Willow off. Both Naomi and Willow are so incredibly tired but absolutely happy! I am so glad all my girls got tons of exercise with Jasmine and her companion, Kiwi. As a first time user of this website, and of hiring a pet sitter in general, I was absolutely happy to get regular check in's/ updates on all my girls while I was away. I was admittedly very nervous to have a sitter come over but Jasmine made it such a smooth and easy process. She definitely gained my trust for future needs and I will absolutely be recommending her to friends and colleagues.”
“Alexis is literally THE best. She’s great at communication and made sure to send picture updates and visit updates twice a day, since that’s how often she visited our pups. Our dogs love her so much! And so do we!!!”
“Jillian was great! She ensured Sunny was well looked after and at ease during the fireworks, and she kept me updated with numerous photos of their brushing and cuddling sessions. It's clear that they had many exciting outdoor adventures, given that Sunny is an outdoor cat. Jillian ensured his food and water dishes were always full, provided plenty of tuna snacks, and even cleaned his litter box. Considering the way they interacted in the videos, it's evident that they share a special bond. I wholeheartedly recommend Jillian and will definitely hire her again.”
About: I've had cats since I was 5. My grandparents also has a farm so I have lots of experience with farm cats and feral cats. I've also worked for 10+ years with a local rescue, raising kittens only days or weeks old until they are old enough to be fixed and adopted - feeding them milk on a regular schedule and then weaning them onto wet food, then dry food, also teaching them how to be a cat by interacting with my cats. During the course of my volunteering I have also been taught various first aid treatments as well as how to administer medications and injections.

“Aron has been so excellent with my 9 month old Malinois! She comes home exhausted and is always excited to be there. He’s very attentive and puts up with my paranoid-dog-mom “how’s she doing?” texts every so often 😂 highly recommend!”
“Lynn was amazing! She went way above and beyond my expectation. I'm extremely protective of my pups and was worried about leaving them, but once I met Lynn and saw how she was with my little guys and with her own "babies", and how secure her yard was, I felt completely at ease and comfortable leaving them in her care. I didn't bring their food with me because we weren't leaving them overnight and they won't eat when we're not there. She made them chicken! which of course they ate right up. This woman LOVES dogs. I will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.”
“I was very hesitant in leaving my pup due to me never wanting to leave him with anyone , but today I had to leave town for the day.. I felt comfortable leaving macho with her. She sent me pictures and we talked through out the day! My pup never potty outside before , and today he did!! He must of had fun because he’s been sleeping since I got him back lol.”
“Absolutely amazing! Dan always goes above and beyond to take great care of Kamora. He’s reliable, caring, and communicative. He always makes sure she feels comfortable and well cared for. I’m so grateful!”
“Every week I have a meeting where they ask me what I'm grateful for this week - and it's always Kelsey & Family. There is very little in my life that is routine and that's one of the very reasons why I'm so extremely GRATEFUL for this amazing place! JOMO gets to have a safe and fun place to be. To play with friends (animal and humans), to have zoomies, to take naps, to have cuddles - all while I get to deal with real world things. Love Love Love.”
“Nicole and Jarrod are great, they always send lots of pictures and my pup always comes back tired and is excited to see them again. I can feel good about leaving my baby with them”
“Olivia was great! I highly recommend her! We had a funeral to attend in the Yuba City area and our dog sitter wasn't available..Olivia agreed to watch Bandit with 1 days notice. She sent pictures & gave us updates throughout the afternoon. You could tell she loves dogs! We will definitely use her services again if we ever have a need again for a sitter in that area of California!”
“Linda was great with my other dog and Lady really enjoyed being with her and all the dogs that were there. Thank you so much for taking care of my Lady and I hope to be able to have Lady visit more often.”

About: I have experience with puppies, beginner obedience training and potty training. Senior dog care, special needs, surgery or vet procedure recovery and care. Active dogs that need lots of engagement and exercise or dogs that just want to hang out and cuddle. I work primarily from home, have a safe and fenced yard. Our home is open with lots to explore or we can provide a safe, quiet space if your pet needs that. I have a safe, fenced yard they can run around in or if they would rather hang out with me, sit in my lap, lay in my bed. I walk multiple times a day and have nature and walking trails around my home. I have a quiet room if your pet needs quiet space or they can run around the house and explore and play with my kids (10 and 12) and hang out with my family.
“Michelle was very accommodating and friendly! First time leaving our dog with someone besides family, and I felt very confident that our Dexter was cared for just like we would have hoped! He's now asleep and I think will stay that way for a day or two lol.”
“Wes did such an amazing job taking care of my boy today. Wes kept me up to date throughout the day and kept Cade entertained and happy all day. I would highly Wes to anyone looking for pet care services. Thank you again Wes!”
“Beyond grateful that Megan was able watch my dog for the whole day, especially with late notice. She was so welcoming and reassuring since my dog acted like a shy kid on his first day of school. She took excellent care of Nugget. I picked him up happy and tired.”
“Breanna was so kind and loving. My two took to both she and her partner instantly. Pictures told me they were having a great time, relaxing in their home. Walter is my quiet gentleman with an anxious soul and he freely gave affection and love, trusting instantly... and my Dolly the verbal pup yipped with glee over her new friends. We had a regular provider on Rover that we loved dearly but she is starting a family now so to find a new trusted host for our pups is so reassuring. They asked lots of questions to make sure all would be well during the stay. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much!”
“Pogo loved hanging out with Nicole and his new friend Bowie! Had a wonderful meet and greet beforehand. Immediately we knew that Pogo would be in great hands with Nicole!”

About: I have had pets my whole life. I have experience with dogs from English mastiffs, to chihuahuas. I love cats, lizards, birds, literally all animals. I work/live on Beale AFB. I am very flexible. If you live on base I can go to your home on my lunch for a quick visit. Like I said I am an animal lover. I came on here after seeing how hard of a time some of our military members were having finding someone to take care of their furry friends. There are so many stressors associated within life that finding someone to genuinely care for your furry family members while away on vacation, TDY, visiting family- that should not have to be one.
About: Since I was a young child, I have been fond of pets, and as an adult, my affection for them has only increased. I'm passionate about getting to know the many kinds of animals. Throughout the years, I have offered to help, taken care of family and friends' pets, and loved my own pets. My availability is open. I am available to stay overnight and can visit your pets in the early morning ☀️ and late at night 🌙. When handling frightened or shy animals I try to maintain a sense of calm and patience. Because they are sensitive to change and can be missing their family members. I try to keep my lovely Sasha😽 on the same schedule. Give her healthy, food that is high in nutrients. Give her Access to Clean Water. Give her a Warm and Caring Home. Whenever she needs to Answer Nature's Call she always has a well maintains litter box to go too . I always try to find fun toys for her to keep her occupied while I work.
About: I've had the pleasure of loving and taking care of furbabies of all sizes for 20 years. I first started pet sitting for an acquaintance in 2005. Later, when I became established in the area as a trusted house cleaner, I started pet sitting for some of my clients and their friends. Sadly, I lost all my clients and contacts save one in the Camp Fire as my client base was in Paradise and Magalia. Since then, I have taken care of my own little furbabies and ever so often cared for the Chihuahua/Pug/Terrier mix of the one remaining client from Paradise. Within the years that I was actively pet sitting, I took care of dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to Whippets. I am excited to once again assist you with your pet sitting needs and ensure the best attention is given to your dog’s health, happiness, and well-being! For my clients in Paradise and Magalia, I did both drop-ins and overnight stays. (My favorite memory was staying with two little lovely Dachsies for three weeks!) I made sure each pet I took care of was fed as per the instructions given to me and that they had access to fresh, clean water. Whether it’s maintaining a regular meal routine or making sure your pet stays hydrated throughout the day, I prioritize comfort and health for all furbabies in my care. I also have experience administering medications, whether oral or topical, and am dedicated to ensuring your pets specific medical needs are met with precision and care. I know personally the importance of a vet's instructions and the proper maintenance of a consistent medication routine. I also know the importance of exercise in keeping a pet happy and healthy. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a more vigorous activity, I am happy to ensure that your pet gets the exercise and playtime they need! Above all, each dog that I have taken care of I have treated as part of my family. I look forward to providing your furbaby with the same love, attention, and care that I have given to my past clients and to my own pets! My schedule has changed and is more open during the work week. I currently have a day job between the hours of 12:30PM and 2:30PM, Monday through Friday. My hours can be flexible with this day job. I am available early morning and some evenings during the work week. My schedule changes, on occasion, in the evenings Monday through Friday. My weekends are fully free and am available for pet sitting, dog walking and drop-ins all day on Saturday and Sunday. For any pet in my care, whether it has been a client's pet or my own, I have always ensured that they have gotten plenty of love and quality care. For past clients, I adhered to all instructions given pertaining to feeding time, exercise and medications if applicable. I made sure there were plenty of cuddles and that every pet in my care felt safe and secure.
“Elle has a kind and humble manner with animals, and was able to gain the trust of our shelter adoptee with mild separation anxiety, early on. Elle has been Kai's main handler for the past two weeks and has been very consistent with the schedule and very capable with some simply training commands that have been countering some reactive behavior. We are very grateful!”
About: I’m an experienced pet and farm sitter. I’ve taken care of other peoples animals, ranches and farms (chickens, cows, horses, donkeys, pigs, goats, dogs, bunnies and cats) for over 10 years.

I have experience with live-stock guardian pets, reactive animals, high energy pets, and pets that just want to relax all day. I am comfortable and familiar with animals who have anxiety, boundary reactivity, resource guarding issues, behavioral issues, puppies, senior animals and so much more. I’ve worked in shelters, on farms, and in training for over 10 years. Your animals will be treated just like my own-with love, respect and understanding! I am typically unavailable Tuesdays and Thursdays, but always feel free to ask about a particular Tuesday or Thursday and I may be able to schedule with you. Feel free to ask any questions about schedules. My rates include constant care while I’m with your animals. I don’t currently offer boarding since one of my dogs is reactive. Your pets safety is my biggest priority! I want to care for your pets in the way you do, to ensure they’re as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I am open to any schedule, services, and needs your pet has!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. I walk a malamute and husky a lot. I pet sit for smaller dogs too. I love walking dogs because it’s a good exercise for them I’m currently looking for a job so I have a lot of time to hangout and play with your animals and to care for them When walking dogs I walk them for an hour and I always bring water to make sure they get the water they need and don’t overheat
“We’ve just decided to make a standing appointment for dog walks w/ Wes. Our pup now knows when we tell him Wes is coming and he gets sooo excited!! THANK YOU, Wes, for being such an awesome buddy for our baby!”
About: I am a huge animal lover with a lifelong passion for pet care. Growing up surrounded by animals, I learned early on how to provide attentive, loving, and reliable care. Whether it's an energetic kitten or a senior dog who needs a gentle touch, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Animals I have experience with: Cats & Dogs: All life stages, from playful kittens/puppies to sweet seniors. I have an incredibly flexible schedule right now, which means I have plenty of open time to dedicate entirely to your pets! My days are wide open to focus on your fur babies, ensuring they get regular bathroom breaks, plenty of active playtime, and all the attention they deserve. I am highly accommodating for weekday routines. Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities when caring for your animals. Whether visiting for drop ins or house sitting, I treat your home with the utmost respect and follow your exact instructions to keep your pets safe. As an obsessed cat parent with two felines of my own, I am highly attentive to animal behavior, ensuring a calm, happy, and completely stress free experience for your fur babies right in their own comfortable environment.
About: I am a loving pet mom for 15 yrs and before and during that time I have helped many others with their animals. I can sit, check in and play with, and take for walks. I love animals and giving them attention because I know it is so important. I work from home so I love reasons to get out of the house and pet friends to keep me company at night. I work and stay 100% near the outskirts of Yuba City. My pets and their friends safety in #1 in my house and yard. I have a very large fenced in back yard and I have proofed it so not even very small dogs (like mine) can find a way out. I am an avid pet counter before doors are open and I double and sometimes triple check that the home is secured before I leave, we don’t want any babies to get out of their safe space.
About: I love being with all animals and especially older and disabled animals. I have my experience from working in Animal Shelters for about 2 years, doggie daycares, pet crematories and also petsitting for different companies and myself over 25 yrs. I am a full time traveling pet/housesitter with my 15yr old pup. I have the luxury of boarding dogs at my longterm housesit in Grass Valley during the summers. I have owned many animals throughout my life and have experience with meds, subQ fluids, end of life, aggressive dogs/cats and finicky pets. I'll treat your babies as if they were mine! I can also share many reviews from other platforms upon request. I am always available to help you out with your fur babies anytime! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. Everyday, any time. A typical day for dog care is a 1 hr walk/hike in the morning, chill/snack/play, and then one more 1 hr walk in the evening. We go to a different location for each walk! I will follow all directions given in writing on how to care best for your sweet baby. I can do walks, playtime, exercise, training, massage and reiki and anything else needed!
About: I’m a huge animal lover of both cats and dogs! I’ve had experience training puppies and also caring, walking, crate training, and maintaining a healthy feeding schedule. I’m open any day of the week at any times and I’m able to come house sit. Most animals are comfortable in their own home so whatever works best for them. I will ensure a safe environment for your pet whether that be crating your pet, keeping a close eye on your pet, and providing them play as a healthy distraction as you arrive.
About: Animals in my care are given lots of love and snuggles, clean food and water, mental and physical exercise, and a cozy bed near a human! I have taken care of many dogs for friends, family, and clients. Your pup will have a wonderful time staying at our farm on 1 fenced-off acre with another very friendly dog, Teddy Bear Tom. We have a large sturdy kennel in the garage upon the client's request. We prefer to have your fur baby with either myself, my husband, or my teenage daughter. Thanks for choosing us to take care of your precious pup! I am a full-time care provider for dogs of all ages. Your fur baby will never be left alone except when I take my potty break or prepare a meal. I supervise and actively play with the fur babies that I am taking care of. We have nap time together as well. Fur babies can play as much as they want outside as weather permits. They can snuggle inside the house if that's what they want to do. I am very in tune with and attentive to the needs and emotions of animals. Reading facial expressions and animal body language is a skill I have acquired. :) I have a tall fenced backyard as well as a large fenced dog run. I have two friendly dogs that your fur baby can play with. Your fur baby will have separate sleeping quarters (from my dogs) which have A/C, heat, a big bed, water bowls, and a sound machine. Potty Breaks and Outdoor time are as often as you prefer and as much as the weather permits. If your doggo is more comfortable relaxing inside, that's okay too!
About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I have a big fenced yard with both grass and forest to run and play. I don’t have multiple dogs staying with me at one time ( unless discussed in advance) so your baby will get all the attention. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.

About: Been a proud owner of goats, cats, chickens, reptiles and dogs. I've had experience in the veterinary field, worked with and cared for livestock and house pets. I am currently working as a veterinary assistant in PV. My schedule is Monday through Thursday from 8:30/9:00am to 5pm. If your pet is able to be left home while I work then perfect! Otherwise I am fully available for long weekends. :) In my own home I have reptiles and three cats and one older dog around. If your pet is staying with me or I’m keeping them company in your own home, I always am engaging with the pet. Any opportunity to play and have some fun, we’re doing it! If they’re more laid back and want to snooze next to me, I will relax with them.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child all the way from administration of medicine to birthing animals on a farm to just feeding and walking and loving on animals. I have had experience with puppies all the way to seniors. I have also helped train animals on and off. I would love to have the chance to be your fur babies next best friend. I am free almost always as I work from home. I work from home and I am free almost always and always can make time for animals. I am free mornings all the way to evenings. I live on a farm in a fenced in yard. My sheep are separated from the other animals but do well around the sheep but I would keep clients animals away. One dog is an outside dog but comes in and one is a full time inside dog. She sleeps with me and loves to go on car rides and both are friendly animals. I have cats who live on the farm but they do there on thing and get along well with other animals. I can follow instructions well if you have a certain way you would like things done.

“Trust had a great time at Aron’s! It took her a minute to adjust to being with multiple dogs. But once she did she was chilling in a nice big yard. I picked her up tired and happy. :) Aron is very responsive and I feel safe leaving my pup with him again.”
“We had such a great experience with Grant. He took such good care of my baby, she even came home with better manners than she had when she went to him. Kyra stayed with Grant and his pack for a whole week and the whole time I received updates and pictures of all the fun she was having. After picking her up, Kyra was exhausted which is hard to achieve. My dog had so much fun with the other animals and everyday I received pictures of her daily adventures. His goal is to tire them out and make you feel comfortable about leaving them. I will definitely be using Grant in the future. Thank you, Grant!”
“Our dogs had a great time! Nicole was super communicative and sent lots of pictures. Everything was above and beyond - definitely recommend and will definitely keep her in mind for our next trip.”
“Tristi did an amazing job! She was communicative, attentive, and made sure all the pups were safe, comfortable, and happy. It's clear she genuinely cares about dogs, and that gave me so much peace of mind. Her family was wonderful too! I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Our pup was very happy in Delila’s care and playing her fellow doodle! Delila was very responsive and updated us with a photo each day. Planning to book again in the near future!”
“It was our first time leaving our dog anywhere and Arwen and her family made us feel so much more at ease about it. They even kept trying to make our big guy comfortable when he was having separation anxiety. I would highly recommend having her watch your fur babies!”
“George had a great stay with Kelsey! She kept us informed with pictures and comments on how he was doing throughout the time there. We felt very comfortable with Kelsey’s care.”
“She was an awesome sitter . Never had an issue . Sent me photos and updates sometimes before I even messaged to check in on Lani. Lani seemed like she had a real good time. She even had Lani playing ball with her baby and having fun. Thank you Poulette , definetly will return when I need a sitter .”
“We just picked up our Cooper and I can tell he had a great time. Alba and her family were fantastic. They went above and beyond to see that our boy was played with and well exercised while we were away for Christmas no less! I would not hesitate again to reach out and ask them to watch our 85 pound golden. We received multiple photos and texts! Thank you, Alba, Bernard, and kids, you were great! Happy new year to you and your family.”
About: Since high school I have had experience with normal pets to the exotic! I can honestly say that each animal is an individual that deserves their specific needs acknowledged and met. I do have experience with senior animals that need medication as well as special needs, there hasn’t been an experience that I haven’t learned from! I’ve even read books like Caesar’s Way in order to better understand my own pets and help them. I’ve even been known to be a bit of a perfectionist although that was in my earlier years now I can gladly say am a seasoned sitter! Please feel free to reach out to me before booking my care and I will answer any and all questions! Caring for your family member fits into my routine because at the moment I am a dog Mom of one dachshund with a good partner that loves her as much as I do! I also do volunteer work, which is extremely flexible. Aside from that a lot of what I do is online, which works out great when pet care is involved I will care for your family member by noting all of their needs as well as asking any questions I have about the environment if it was not already covered in our introduction. I like to take notes!
“Jennifer was a pleasure to work with. She was always quick to respond and she sent lots of photos of our boy having fun with her pup. He came home exhausted, that's a good thing! We will certainly use Jennifer again! Thank you again Jennifer!”
“Tiffany took great care of our boy and treated him like a part of the family. She was very communicative and sent a ton of pictures, which is great. It allowed us to have our weekend out of town knowing Kona was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Sandra is amazing, she took such a good care of our puppy, she is caring and definitely loves dogs! We would 100% recommend her and we'll use her services every time from now on. Thank you Sandra!”
“Bear loved his time with Linda! He had a blast playing with the other dogs and running around the property, he came home so tired and so happy. His whole life he’s been terrified of the water but he felt so comfortable that he even jumped in the pond a few times for a swim! Linda sent us pictures and kept us updated the whole time we were gone, it really helped us relax a little more and felt so good to know he was in such great hands! We also really appreciate that they do not take on too many dogs at one time so we know that Bear is getting the attention he needs and likes. We will definitely be bringing Bear back here in the future. Thank you so much Linda for taking care of our boy!”
“Absolutely wonderful person and family for our pup to stay with! Amanda was great at caring for our senior pup and we appreciate knowing she was in safe hands during our trip.”
“It was my first time with using Rover and my dogs seemed to love being there and looked like they were having so much fun! They sent me updates and photos! I will definitely be taking my dogs back.”
“Laura took care of our 19 year old poodle and did a great job! She sent us messages to keep us posted on how Mochi was doing and also a video of Mochi eating which was a concern because she is a picky eater. Mochi spent time in her backyard and was even described as frolicking which showed us mochi was happy and relaxed at Laura’s! We definitely recommend Laura to watch your babies! 🥰”
“Danielle and her family were kind and loving to Aspen. This was the first time we have left her with someone else and Danielle made us feel so comfortable! We highly recommend her!”
