“Kasse is truly wonderful. My German Shepherd, Jaxxon, loves visiting her home, exploring her fun backyard, and playing with his friends. I have zero worries when he’s with Kasse. Highly recommend!!”

“Lori is great! Axl had a good weekend. He had a great backyard to run around in and had fun with Tucker and playing with toys. Lori sent updates and pictures. We will happily use her again.”

“Grizzly is so excited when he gets to go to Julia’s house. I don’t worry because I know he’s having a great time. I love the pictures and she’s so flexible with drop off and pick up.”


“Janie was an excellent sitter for our Baxter. She was communicative and sent photos with updates. When Baxter came home, he seemed so happy and content. Highly recommend Janie!”
“Jennifer is the absolute best dog sitter ever! She took such great care of my Ranger pup. She sent me updates and pictures and kept me in the loop about how my dog was doing. She went above and beyond the call of duty though and actually drove my dog to another town when the visit concluded so my dog could get picked up as I wasn't quite returned yet from my trip and had made arrangements for him to stay with his doggy dad for the remaining time. This was a HUGE help and it eased my mind knowing that the transition went so smoothly. Jennifer was also super patient with me at booking as I had to change my dates more than once. Her space is comfy and safe for doggos and she made sure my pupper got plenty of attention while his dog mama was away. I will recommend her to everyone and I hope she's available when I travel next time so Ranger can go back and visit.”

“Brooke and her boyfriend Tony took great care of Stella and their very sweet dogs welcomed her into their pack. Stella was perfectly tuckered out after her weekend and had obviously been fed, played with, and given the attention she sometimes downright demands.”

“Thank you Tyler for being able to accommodate me so quickly. Along with the updates and photos, can’t wait to bring her back and book you again. Made my life easier & better this week, cheers to you.”


“Catherine took great care of my three dogs, including frequent walks and picture updates. She sent them home with a goodie bag of treats and a card. Highly recommend!”

“Brooke was amazing in every way! Updating us on how our sweet boy was doing and sending pictures, as it was our first time leaving him! He had so much fun and was not stressed at all, very well taken care of. Will definitely be using her in the future anytime we have to leave our fur baby because we know he is in loving hands!

“Definitely recommend. Stacy was there on time each day. She took time to bond with my little cat, who hadn’t been introduced to any other people at that point. The pictures she sent reassured me he was in good hands.”

“Brandi was amazing. We booked her to do drop in visits for our kitty, Dexter, while we were out of town this weekend. We have only had him for about 2 months now so this was our first weekend away from him which made us nervous. Brandi made sure to take pictures of not only him, but pictures of her with him and sent them to us dailyHighly recommend this kind lady”

“Johanna was an amazing pet sitter for my two cats. You can tell she really loves animals and made my cats feel very comfortable from the get go. She was very attentive, tidy and keep me posted with pictures and details of things she observed. Also not everyone will do this, and so I really appreciated her attention to clean up their hair balls and other messes while I was away! Would love to book her again!!”

“Phebe was awesome! Very communicative and professional. She spoke our dog, Sage’s, love language- treats😊 and sent a bunch of photos which we love! She also helped Sage relax with lavender oil on her nose as she is an anxious dog. Such a sweet thing to do! Appreciate the love and care, thank you!”

About: I’ve always had a pet of my own until early 2026 when my senior dog had passed, however I do have a history of working at a veterinary hospital. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m dependable, responsible, and attentive to details. My goal is not only to care for pets while their owners are away, but to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and treated like family. I’m currently working part-time and looking for the opportunity to still stay active and enjoy my free time. I have a very open schedule and I’m committed to following each owner’s instructions and making sure their pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while they are away. The safety and well-being of every pet in my care is my top priority. I believe trust is built through reliability, communication, and treating each pet with patience and respect. I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel secure and maintain their normal routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, pay attention to each pet’s individual needs, and keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: During my time as a K9 Military Police Officer in the Army I was responsible for 24 hour care for our canine partners. I use that professional training to provide expert care to family pets both in my home or in my spacious indoor kennel options. I aim to provide peace of mind for the owner and a vacation for the pet. I have experience with all ages of dogs/cats from newborns to senior requiring specific timely routines and cares. I ask that the owner provide the preferred food to prevent any stomach issues, but we of course clean any accidents without cost to the owner. Our property is completely fenced, and we offer both a traditional front yard as well as an open one acre pasture to fully run out their energy. We provide some basic toys and treats, but are happy to keep with your play routines if you bring on over your pet's preferred toys. If your companion prefers walking to free play we are happy to accommodate daily with no additional cost. We also take pictures and sometimes videos during your pet's stay so you can have the peace of mind knowing they're having a great time. I operate a dog boarding and training business from home full time so your companion will only be home alone (secured in a run, suite, or kennel) for short periods of time due to normal errand runs. We offer round the clock care including overnights should your companion need extra care at no additional cost. If you live within 30 miles of us we will pick up your companion at no additional cost. We ask owners provide enough time to properly convey their unique needs including routines, update requests, pet comforts, etc. We have secure separate spaces both within the home itself as well as the indoor kennel option and the two fenced yards.
“Apollo had a great time with Lori and Tucker! Tucker was the perfect friend for Apollo. Lori was great at listening to Apollo’s needs and working with me to fit my schedule.”


“Our first time using Rover….. and we loved Catherine! She was great with communication leading up to the visit and was prompt with picking up and delivering our Olive. She’s had some other small dogs that Olive played with throughout the day, and she was delivered back happy and exhausted. We are tent camping and she took her self to bed way before the night was over! We will definitely be using Catherine again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Suzanne and Dan are wonderful people. I had no hesitation in leaving Bella with them.

I had a last minute hunting trip that my dogs could not be a part of, and Katelyn answered me quickly, arranged boarding and my 2 dogs quickly became part of her little dog pack! Katelyn’s property is perfect for watching dogs, off the road, large grass flats in front and around her home, with a large fence in the back, all surrounded by grasslands and farms! A pup parent’s paradise! Katelyn sent me pics throughout the stay and her dogs meshed super well with my dogs! We are already discussing our next trip and will definitely be booking Katelyn again!”

We will definitely use Daniel for our Rover next time we are in the area.”
