“Carrie is absolutely wonderful. She sent tons of pictures and videos and treated my Buster as her own. I was worried he wouldn’t want to come back! We’ll definitely be using Carrie as our go-to sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking. Thanks for everything, Carrie!”
“Julie was amazing with our two puppies. She was very flexible and able to care for our dogs and her own dog simultaneously. She sent many pictures and updates and responded swiftly to all requests and messages. Would recommend to anyone looking for a Rover and would book with her again in the future!”

Can’t wait to stay with them again.”
“Our Sophia stayed with Nancy and Stan this weekend. They sent lots of updates and sweet pictures. They loved our maltipoo as if she were their own. You can tell they genuinely love and have a heart for animals. Overall we had a very great experience with them. 10/10 Definitely recommend :)”
“Beth was fantastic! Great at communicating and very kind and accommodating. Our Maggie was provided with lots of great play space and love and care! Would highly recommend to anyone!”
“Brandi & her family took great care of my pup over the holidays! Brandi was very communicative, sent lots of photos and was accommodating when I had changes in booking dates/times. I’d be happy to reach out for boarding needs in the future !”
“Will & Jillian were great with Rosie and were great about sending pictures and communicating with us while we were away! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Joseph was amazing taking care of Trixie, we recently got her, so he gave me a few tips on how to train her properly which I really appreciated. He is an excellent sitter and if I ever need to board Trixie again, I will definitely be asking him to take her again. He also sent daily updates with photos and videos and I really loved that because it lets me see from the distance that she is happy and well taken care of. Thank you so much!”
“Bruno loved his stay with Jenny! He came home extremely happy, just as he was when I had dropped him off for his stay. Received daily communication with photos and videos and if any questions came up I was contacted immediately. Will definitely be booking Bruno again with Jenny. Thank you for taking great care of my baby while I was on vacation!!!”
“Jaxen gave incredible care to my two pups!! I was very nervous since this was their first time in a kennel setting, but they came back so happy, tired, and comfortable. ❤️ I will be booking with Jaxen again!!”
“I was very impressed with how well Terry took care of Buster. You could tell she really loves animals. He loved being with her! She took him for walks and spent a lot of time with him on her back porch. She asked lots of questions to ensure Buster was getting everything he needed. She continually sent me little messages about their day and adorable photos. I will definitely use her as a sitter again. Thank you so much Terry!”
“All 3 of our pups loved their stay with Lauren and her family. Our oldest dog seemed so at ease when we picked them up and we were most worried about her. Looking forward to their next stay if they will have us. Thank you thank you!”
“Caroline kept me updated about Buster's. Stay sent me pictures and seemed to really enjoy him visiting her house and family. Buster seemed to take to one of her daughters and was almost reluctant to go home with me.”
“Malia and her family are awesome and every day she sent us a pictures that help us relax trusting that Savanna was in go hands. Savanna loved to stay there and specially her new friend Frankie (one of Malia’s dogs). For sure she will return when we need to go out again.”
“Pam and Adam were the perfect caretakers for our dog. Pam was great about communication and sent me pictures and updates daily. Our dog is a cuddly very people oriented dog and this was the perfect setting for her to get a lot of love while we were away.”
“Lola seemed to really enjoy her stay with Tish. She had lots of sweet furry friends to hang out with while we were away. She came back to us calm and relaxed like she'd been at a spa. I highly recommend Tish as a sitter. She is clearly experienced with many different dog breeds and has a perfect demeanor for putting your pup at ease. You can relax knowing your best friend is in good hands.”
“Giulia and family were great! They sent daily pictures letting me know how Patch was doing and how spoiled he was. He even got to sleep in their bed (which he does with me). He came back happy and healthy. I felt very comfortable leaving him there when I left and will definitely use them again!”

“Elizabeth was great! My two cats have never been more relaxed while we were gone. They seemed very content and she always sent us pictures showing both were engaged. She spent time playing with them as well, which a lot of sitters don't do. I will totally book her again.”
“Cortney was perfect in her care for my fur baby. Being able to have two visits for my little Katya set my mind at ease as it was a longer trip than I would have normally taken. Katya got quality play time in, pets and snuggled, and fed the appropriate amount of food each day. Water and litter box were perfectly maintained. I am so happy I found Cortney and I will absolutely retain her pet sitting services in the future! Thank you, Cortney!”
“Lauren did an EXCELLENT job with our pit. We would highly recommend her services to anyone. She took pics of each visit, arrived on time for 7 consecutive days. Great communication skills. 5 Stars from us!”
About: I’ve grown up my whole life around animals, we had 2 Great Pyrenees and 2 Pitbull/Mastiff Mixes. I absolutely loved caring for them and playing with them. I dog sat all throughout highschool into college and now that I’m settled down in my own house I’ve realized how much I miss it! So I’m getting started on Rover hoping I can help care for your pups when you aren’t able to while doing something I love! I have a toddler and a 1 year old Blackmouth Curr/Terrier mix named Nala. Nala is the absolute sweetest and thrives around other dogs. I do ask that for boarding that your pup is good around other dogs and children! I’m currently a stay at home mom to my toddler and my pup! So I have the free time to be able to help with yours 😊 I have a very large fenced in yard and lots of room to take dogs out for walks and to play! If I am sitting or walking at your home I always make sure to keep notes as to what rules you have or what your pups routine is.
“Bonnie was so sweet to our baby girl! She was very consistent and made sure we had plenty of photos and videos plus updates on her behavior. She definitely took a lot of the worry out of leaving our girl at home for a week!! I highly recommend 😀”
“Absolutely the best caretakers. Her daughter helped and had such a special bonding. My kitties were loved, cared for, and part of the family. Lots of updates and videos that I really appreciated. Thank you so much!! ❤️”
About: Kept owners updated with daily messages, photos, and behavior notes,Passionate about feline well-being; treat every pet as if they were my own. Would love to meet ya soon! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. While I do work full time, I finish work at 4:00 PM, which allows me to dedicate my evenings and weekends fully to pet care 🐾. On weekdays, I’m available after work for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. Evenings are focused on giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get their potty breaks, and have time to relax and feel comfortable. On weekends and days off, I have more flexibility for longer visits, extended walks, and overnight care. I plan my schedule carefully so pets always receive consistent, reliable care and never feel rushed. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority to ensure every pet feels loved, safe, and well cared for—no matter how busy my week is. 💕🐶🐱 In my client’s home: Following the pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible Feeding, walks, litter box or potty clean-ups as instructed Playtime, exercise, and companionship Administering medications if needed Keeping the home tidy and secure while you’re away No matter the service, I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. 💕
“Jamie did an incredible job stopping by and checking on our sweet kitty! She communicated during each visit and sent pictures which we appreciated! We will definitely be booking again with her!”
About: My approach to cats is simple — I respect their space and their rhythm. Most of the cats I’ve cared for over the years have preferred quiet consistency over attention, and that suits my temperament well. I focus on keeping their environment steady — fresh food and water, clean litter, and a calm presence that doesn’t disrupt their routine. I’ve found that cats tend to warm up on their own terms when you don’t force interaction. I’m patient, observant, and mindful of subtle changes in behavior or appetite that could signal something off. Whether they choose to stay distant or keep me company while I’m there, I make sure they’re cared for and comfortable.
“I was traveling through and needed someone to take my dog out while I was at work. At first I couldn’t find anyone in the area that could take him out on those days and for a reasonable price. Luckily Genevieve got back with me ASAP and we were able to schedule a meet and greet as soon as possible. Her price is very reasonable, she’s polite and she was able to was able to accommodate my schedule, The only downside I’d have to say is the rover app is not the most intuitive and wasn’t able to get a lot of the messages from Genevieve and It was taking a long time to hear back from her (probably cause she wasn’t getting mine either) and it caused a lot of miscommunication. That being said If your in the area and need someone for drop in visits Genevieve would be a good fit.”
“Our cats love Emilee, she is a wonderful pet sitter! She is very patient giving them attention and provides a lot of pics. They always look so relaxed when she is visiting with them. Will definitely hire Emilee again!”
About: I’ve cared for many cats before and even had a few of my own. From tiny kittens to maine coons. I treat every cat like family keeping them happy, safe, and loved with plenty of cuddles, play, and attention to their unique personality.
About: I have worked fulltime in the animal industry for 8 years, including boarding facilities, training facilities, and veterinary offices. I am very experienced and comfortable with cats of all personalities, sizes, and behaviors!
“It was evident when we first met her, JaNiya is an animal lover. She’s knowledgeable about animals and their needs. She was patient with our scaredy cat and let her slowly get used to the new human in the house. JaNiya is very kind and she was respectful of our home. We will definitely request her to housesit/cat sit for us again.”

“This was our first time trying Rover for day care and Beth was perfect. She had a huge fenced in yard for Myles to go out. He usually naps for 3 hours or more a day but he was having too much fun to sleep. When I picked him up, he was worn out. He went home and slept 14 hours. We will be going back to Beth.”
“Dolly and Dandelion loved their 7 day visit with Kristen. She sent us pics and texts to keep us posted. They came home very happy. ? It’s nice to find someone to keep your fur babies that treats them like family. Looks like we’ve found a new home away from home.”
About: Hey there! My name is Jen, and I would love to take care of your babies for you! A bit about me: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician of 10+ years, with the majority of my experience being in surgery/anesthesia and working in emergency triage. My husband is a Veterinarian/Surgeon with 25 years under his belt this year. He does not help with care and is not responsible for my clients, but is always available for advice and input. In addition, I am a Certified Feline Behaviorist (think Jackson Galaxy!) and thoroughly enjoy working with feline behavior concerns to help keep cats in their homes. I also have experience with basic level dog training and work with a variety of local clients on basic obedience, potty training, crate training, bite inhibition for puppies, etc. in addition to professional pet sitting, boarding, daycare, and basic grooming, I am capable and available for a variety of veterinary technician services like medication/fluid administration, insulin administration, bandage changes, nail trims, etc. I also have a solid understanding of disease and parasite transmission as well as toxicity exposure/ingestion risks and act accordingly with the pets in my care. I interned for several years at Vilas Zoo in Madison, WI and for a year at Chattanooga Zoo here in TN. My husband did a residency at Montgomery Zoo in Alabama, and we met 10 years ago when we both used to own large reptile breeding businesses, primarily working with a variety of snakes. I have also spent years as a wildlife rehabber, working primarily with rabbits, squirrels, song birds, opossums, and native reptiles. Thus in addition to dogs and cats, I am well-versed in the care and biological needs of practically every species you can think of! In addition to my professional skills, education, and experience, I have immense personal experience -- essentially from the moment I was born. My mother has run a cat rescue in Wisconsin for decades, and my grandfather did the same before her. I also have been rescuing cats for the past 20 years. My parents have always kept a wide variety of pets, ranging from cats and dogs to fish, reptiles, small mammals/pocket pets, and exotics, so I have been immersed in caring for almost every kind of pet you can think of since before I can remember. I also have always had an invisible neon sign above my head that only animals can see, which has made it so that all injured, young, or lost pets and wildlife find their way to me no matter where I am or what I'm doing -- even in Army basic training when I was 20, when I rescued a 10-day-old stray kitten from drowning due to a burst pipe underneath our barracks -- so I have always had animals in my care at any given moment. In our personal lives, we have two children: my 19-year-old son and our 8-year-old daughter, both of whom have been raised in animal rescue, veterinary medicine, pet care and behavior training, etc. and have extensive skills and knowledge of their own which brings me immense pride to see. We have 4 kitties and a Boston Terrier, all of whom are very comfortable with the various visiting pet friends that stay with us. They are also spayed/neutered, UTD on vaccines, negative for all common communicable diseases, and UTD on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. My boarding pets have spaces away from our pets if necessary, so interaction is not required and separation is just fine! I have never known a life without being surrounded by animals, without my clothes being covered in fur, and without being called to help care for animals in need. It is not just what I do, but who I am, down to my very core, and brings me immense joy and gratification. I cannot begin to express how much I love what I do. I love caring for others' pets and giving them the ability to be loved and well cared for when their own loving parents cannot be with them for whatever reason. I also have frequently helped clients become aware of health concerns within their pets that they may not otherwise notice, then can have their regular DVM evaluate and address it -- ranging from skin allergies to yeast infections in ears to heart murmurs to dental disease. I feel that my career position, my education, my decades of experience, my knowledge, and my skillset, not to mention having my DVM husband handy for advice and knowledge, puts me ahead of most pet caretakers. It ensures that your babies are in the safest and most experienced, well-prepared hands they could possibly be in! I currently work remote from home as an emergency triage technician and am the Manager of Performance, Training, and Team Success for GuardianVets, so I am available 7 days per week, 24 hours per day to care for pets in my home. I also have some open availability from 8am to 10pm, so I am able to do drop-ins, potty breaks, feed, scoop litter boxes, change cages/bedding, etc. 2-3 times per day before the final visit for the evening. I can make just about any request work! Care depends on the individual pet, their breed, age, personality and needs, as well as what training and rules their parents have in place for them, and whether they are boarding in my 3600 sq. ft. home or I am caring for them in your home. Pets boarding in my home or coming for Doggy Daycare must be UTD on all core vaccines for their species with verification from their veterinarian. For puppies under 16 weeks of age, they must be UTD with the most recent booster for their age. All puppies under 16 weeks or puppies who have not yet completed all 4 vaccine boosters yet will be the ONLY boarding client I keep during their duration of stay in order to best protect their developing immune system. As you would expect, my home and all supplies (crates, bowls, etc) are thoroughly sanitized after each client. Bowls are washed in the dishwasher at over 140 degrees to sanitize, and all floors and kennels are sanitized with Kennel Care (an effective veterinary-grade disinfectant against Parvo and all other infectious agents). I do also require that all dogs boarding here or coming for Doggy Daycare are either cat-friendly or cat-neutral (meaning they ignore them). We cannot board any dogs who are cat aggressive, small dog aggressive, or obsessive cat/dog chasers, due to the risk to our pets. Even though we have a separate space for boarding dogs, the risk of injury or death is too great if they were to somehow get loose and come into contact with them. I am sorry. This specifically means dogs who have a known history of active aggression toward prey animals or an excessive interest/obsession with chasing small dogs and cats. Simply being vocal toward cats or showing interest and wanting to gently investigate is not aggression and is fine. If you aren't sure how your baby would be, you are absolutely welcome to bring them over for a trial meeting on-leash to see how they do with them first! I will always text daily updates and pics to let you know how your babies are doing and what they are up to! I am an obsessive picture taker anyway, especially with animals. :) BOARDING DOGS: I require all dogs to be crate-trained or at least comfortable being in a crate for safety reasons (i.e. if I need to leave the house for any reason, they must be able to be crated). I keep large and medium sized comfortable, secure crates with comfortable washed fresh blankets for boarding dogs, or you are welcome to bring your own! Most boarding dogs are kept in our master suite so that I can supervise them at all times. On the rare occasion where we have boarding clients from two different families, we will set the other one up in my adult son's room. They are never alone or left ignored. For outgoing dogs who adapt well to any new situation and do well with other animals, they are allowed to run around the house with us, chill on the couch, hang out on the bed and watch TV, etc, unless their parents have trained them not to be on furniture, then we uphold this same rule for them here for consistency and they are offered blankets or beds on the floor. This is always under strict supervision, no unsupervised time loose. For dogs who are more nervous/anxious in new spaces, they are crated and given 3-5 intervals of supervised 1:1 time loose in my large master suite rather than the full house, and away from the cats or our dog if they may upset them. For the most nervous babies, I usually recommend remaining crated in a larger crate so they have room to move around, as they feel most secure there, with regular potty breaks. Similar to boarding at a veterinary clinic. All boarding dogs get lots of outside play time in our yard, always on a 30-foot training leash that is attached to my hand at all times. This lets them run and play and have fun while still always being under my control and security. I do not believe in using tie-outs nor do I ever leave a dog outside alone -- whether that is a client's dog or my own. Feeding is based on their own individual preferences and requirements/instructions from their pet parents. I have all necessary bowls here, just need their food provided. BOARDING CATS: For kitties, the most outgoing, friendly, and adaptable cats are set up in our daughter's bedroom so that they have a whole room with a comfy bed and someone to sleep with at night, as well as a clean sanitized litterbox (unless they bring their own). They are also provided plenty of cat-safe toys and clean blankets to lay on. I can provide litter unless your baby has a preference for a specific type/brand, which is no issue! My daughter LOVES having boarding cats with her and will play with them with wand toys, fuzzy mice, and laser pointers for as long as they are willing, and snuggle them in bed while playing Minecraft. I take care of all the care essentials and always have hands-on time with them to ensure all is well. For the more anxious/scared kitties who prefer to hide and have less interaction, they are kept either in a large multi-level cat condo with a litterbox at the bottom, or a large wire dog crate with the litterbox on one side and a plastic step stool on the other so they can sit elevated on top or hide underneath. I set these up inside my master bedroom if I have no boarding dogs, or my daughter's room if we do. They are allowed to decompress in a quiet warm space, and I will spend lots of time petting and loving on them if they would like it, otherwise I give them their space with just periodic check-ins and caretaking (litter, food, water, etc). BOARDING EXOTICS: Species-dependent, we can discuss specifics! DOGGIE DAYCARE: Exactly the same as boarding, just for shorter periods, whether that's an hour or two while you attend a doctor appt, or 8 hours while you work! PETSITTING IN YOUR HOME: I am fully able to stay 24/7 if you prefer, or I can just stay during the day and then head home around 9pm and back again the next morning. For clients who wish me to stay 24/7 in their home, I will need access to high-speed WiFi in order to work my remote job overnight, as I work third shift. I do not have to be isolated from pets for this job, they can hang out with me. :) While I am in your home, I can sleep either on the couch or in a guest bedroom if you have one and are comfortable, either is fine with me. For couches, I will bring my own pillow and blanket. I will not do any cooking or anything that requires making a mess or cleaning up, and guarantee your home will be left in the same condition/state it was when I arrived, and will take any trash with me when I go. Your pets will sleep wherever they are used to sleeping, so if that's with a person, they are very welcome to sleep with me! I can let them out every 1-2 hours, including while working for puppies and seniors who need overnight potty breaks. DROP-IN VISITS: For pets who stay at home and have me come over for care, I usually come over 2-3x per day for potty breaks, play breaks, a walk, meal times, litter scooping, cage cleaning, etc. and overall health checks to ensure all is well. I will always treat them as if they were my own babies and ensure they get lots of love and exercise to burn off that energy during the short time we have!

About: I’m a 46year-old pet lover with no kids of my own—my heart belongs to Oly, my service-trained Aussie Doodle! Growing up with dogs has given me a lifelong love and understanding of our furry friends. As the owner of an online business, I work from home and have plenty of time for walks, cuddles, and play. Whether it’s fun adventures, learning new skills, or cozy downtime, your pup will get all the love, care, and attention they deserve while they’re with me! Oly is fully trained off leash, and gets along with dogs, cats, and kids. He comes with me to sit. I have a flexible schedule, which means I can easily adapt to your puppy’s needs throughout the day. My own dog is fully trained and comfortable around all kinds of animals, so your pup will have a calm and friendly environment to thrive in. I provide comprehensive care for my own dog by grooming and trimming his hair and nails myself, ensuring he’s always comfortable and well-maintained. I also keep up with his training regularly, which has made him a well-behaved companion who accompanies me everywhere. Since I work from home, I’m able to offer plenty of time for walks, play, cuddles, and relaxation. When caring for others’ puppies in their home, I bring the same level of attentiveness and dedication, tailoring my approach to meet each puppy’s unique needs while ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy.

“10/10 recommend. Very few people I trust to watch over my dog and Justin is at the top of the list! Miller always comes back happy and tired and I love that we get pictures throughout the day of his adventures.”
“While on vacation the need arose and we needed a sitter, with little notice Danielle was able to watch our fur baby, Danielle was amazing and very caring and attentive, highly recommend.”
“Gaby was very flexible with my fluctuating schedule. She was also very welcoming and patient with my pup. She reported back about his day and how he behaved during day care. I highly recommend Gaby.”
“We appreciate Staysha staying with Bentley and accepting to care for him. I truly believe that Staysha loves to care for animals; however, today I experienced something that I had not experienced before through Rover.com. One was that the pet sitter did not update her address until after we booked, making this a serious issue due to us trying to coordinate the timing of our destination to her home. The other reason is that when I called Staysha to let her know we were going over to pick up my dog, she said that she left my dog to someone else while she went to run errands and go walk another dog and feed another dog at some other house. In one of the pictures, my dog was outside playing with a belly band on and when Inwent to pick him up his belly band was wet of pee pee and the pad was stinky of urine from not being changed. And when we got there to pick him up, Staysha was not there yet and her young niece gave me Bentley. The only reason why I will leave a tip at this point is because I feel bad for Staysha little niece who she seemed to be the one who was watching Bentley while Staysha was out. Staysha, if I could give you a constructive criticism, it would be that, I know you really mean to care for animals, ect. But, when a pet owner leaves their pet with “you” - who Rover.com checks your background check ect, the pet owner is trusting you to watch over their baby, their kid, their dog. For us Bentley is like our son and when you told me you left him with someone else, I could not believe it. I could give a 3 star vs 4 stars, but I believe in second chances, in forgiveness and I know that my feedback will serve to you as a positive one because you will plan your schedule better so that this does not happen again. Thank you and hope all goes well.”
“I cannot express how pleased I am with Ann, Bruno, and Reagan!! I feel so lucky to have found them. My dog typically takes a little to warm up to new people, but she feels so comfortable in their home. She loves going there and I feel so at ease when I drop her off. They are extremely accommodating with my schedule, send updates throughout the day, and love my dog like she is their own!! They are so so great, but don’t book with them so their calendar stays open for us!! 😊”
About: Over the years I have walked dogs of all sizes and baby sat many houses for family and friends. I grow up on a farm. I have trained horses and owned pretty much every farm animal out there. I am not afraid of a challenge. I am excited to expand my services to other people. I enjoy volunteering at the local SPCA for time to time. I am CPR/First Aid Certified. I have never tried these skills on a animal and hopefully I will never have to try them out. I have worked in several daycare over the years and am currently a nanny. People trust me with their kids so I am confident in my ability to handle your pets. Pets are family as well.
“WOW!!!! I was blown away by the level of care and love my dog received in Lauren's care!! The property is a dog's dream come true! It's fully fenced, and there were other friendly dogs for my dog to play with all day. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Lauren! I will most definitely take my dog back to her if I need a sitter again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make sure my pet was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I especially appreciated all the photos and updates—they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that they genuinely cared about my dog and treated them like their own. The attention to detail, communication, and overall kindness really stood out.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and dog trainers. I’ve had cats my entire life. I work from home and live alone with 3 rescue dogs and two rescue cats. I own two Shih Tzus and one service dog that is a Schnauzer. All of my pets are dog and cat friendly. I own my own home, extra crates of all sizes for those that need crates. I have extra fences for inside and outside the home if someone doesn’t like to mingle. My fur babies are family and I’ll treat yours the same. I work from home 100% of the time. I have breaks on the hour for potty breaks and to go walk and care for your fur babies locally. I live alone with my rescues and my fur babies are my life. I work as a Professional Counselor and have a secondary Masters in Applied Behavioral Analysis. I was raised with a professional dog trainer and have a lifetime of experience. I have a fenced yard with extra barriers to keep everyone safe. My dogs are very friendly and playful and will keep your babies entertained. All of my animals are spayed or neutered with up to date full vaccinations and monthly plans with Banfield to keep them healthy. I have experience giving meds and giving subcutaneous fluids via IV if needed. Elderly and puppies always welcome. I can assist with potty training if needed.
“Crista is amazing! Great communication and my pup had a blast. It’s always hard leaving your dog with someone new but I was immediately comfortable when I met Crista. Highly recommend her if you are in need of dog care.”

I've fostered dogs in the past for a senior rescue non-profit in Monterey, CA where I cared for and assisted in the adoption placement of 6 dogs over the course of 1 year. You can rest easy on your business trip, family vacation, or wherever you are knowing that I will treat your four-legged family member as my own. Thank you very much for considering me! I'm currently working part-time as an after-school teacher, so I'm only away for 3-4 hours a few days a week. Outside of this, my daily schedule is fairly flexible so I can work around your pets' normal schedule! I like to keep to a regular schedule with the pets I'm caring for. I've found that by doing this, they warm up to me more quickly and it helps ease any potential stress of their family being away. A typical general day would include a morning walk, afternoon park visit, hike, or other similar high energy play-time, and an evening walk. I also love to include mental stimulation throughout the day such as mini-training sessions. I will always do a consultation before care begins to ensure I have a thorough understanding of the daily needs for your pet to adjust the schedule as needed.
About: Over the years I have walked dogs of all sizes and baby sat many houses for family and friends. I grow up on a farm. I have trained horses and owned pretty much every farm animal out there. I am not afraid of a challenge. I am excited to expand my services to other people. I enjoy volunteering at the local SPCA for time to time. I am CPR/First Aid Certified. I have never tried these skills on a animal and hopefully I will never have to try them out. I have worked in several daycare over the years and am currently a nanny. People trust me with their kids so I am confident in my ability to handle your pets. Pets are family as well.
About: Hey there! My name is Jen, and I would love to take care of your babies for you! A bit about me: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician of 10+ years, with the majority of my experience being in surgery/anesthesia and working in emergency triage. My husband is a Veterinarian/Surgeon with 25 years under his belt this year. He does not help with care and is not responsible for my clients, but is always available for advice and input. In addition, I am a Certified Feline Behaviorist (think Jackson Galaxy!) and thoroughly enjoy working with feline behavior concerns to help keep cats in their homes. I also have experience with basic level dog training and work with a variety of local clients on basic obedience, potty training, crate training, bite inhibition for puppies, etc. in addition to professional pet sitting, boarding, daycare, and basic grooming, I am capable and available for a variety of veterinary technician services like medication/fluid administration, insulin administration, bandage changes, nail trims, etc. I also have a solid understanding of disease and parasite transmission as well as toxicity exposure/ingestion risks and act accordingly with the pets in my care. I interned for several years at Vilas Zoo in Madison, WI and for a year at Chattanooga Zoo here in TN. My husband did a residency at Montgomery Zoo in Alabama, and we met 10 years ago when we both used to own large reptile breeding businesses, primarily working with a variety of snakes. I have also spent years as a wildlife rehabber, working primarily with rabbits, squirrels, song birds, opossums, and native reptiles. Thus in addition to dogs and cats, I am well-versed in the care and biological needs of practically every species you can think of! In addition to my professional skills, education, and experience, I have immense personal experience -- essentially from the moment I was born. My mother has run a cat rescue in Wisconsin for decades, and my grandfather did the same before her. I also have been rescuing cats for the past 20 years. My parents have always kept a wide variety of pets, ranging from cats and dogs to fish, reptiles, small mammals/pocket pets, and exotics, so I have been immersed in caring for almost every kind of pet you can think of since before I can remember. I also have always had an invisible neon sign above my head that only animals can see, which has made it so that all injured, young, or lost pets and wildlife find their way to me no matter where I am or what I'm doing -- even in Army basic training when I was 20, when I rescued a 10-day-old stray kitten from drowning due to a burst pipe underneath our barracks -- so I have always had animals in my care at any given moment. In our personal lives, we have two children: my 19-year-old son and our 8-year-old daughter, both of whom have been raised in animal rescue, veterinary medicine, pet care and behavior training, etc. and have extensive skills and knowledge of their own which brings me immense pride to see. We have 4 kitties and a Boston Terrier, all of whom are very comfortable with the various visiting pet friends that stay with us. They are also spayed/neutered, UTD on vaccines, negative for all common communicable diseases, and UTD on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. My boarding pets have spaces away from our pets if necessary, so interaction is not required and separation is just fine! I have never known a life without being surrounded by animals, without my clothes being covered in fur, and without being called to help care for animals in need. It is not just what I do, but who I am, down to my very core, and brings me immense joy and gratification. I cannot begin to express how much I love what I do. I love caring for others' pets and giving them the ability to be loved and well cared for when their own loving parents cannot be with them for whatever reason. I also have frequently helped clients become aware of health concerns within their pets that they may not otherwise notice, then can have their regular DVM evaluate and address it -- ranging from skin allergies to yeast infections in ears to heart murmurs to dental disease. I feel that my career position, my education, my decades of experience, my knowledge, and my skillset, not to mention having my DVM husband handy for advice and knowledge, puts me ahead of most pet caretakers. It ensures that your babies are in the safest and most experienced, well-prepared hands they could possibly be in! I currently work remote from home as an emergency triage technician and am the Manager of Performance, Training, and Team Success for GuardianVets, so I am available 7 days per week, 24 hours per day to care for pets in my home. I also have some open availability from 8am to 10pm, so I am able to do drop-ins, potty breaks, feed, scoop litter boxes, change cages/bedding, etc. 2-3 times per day before the final visit for the evening. I can make just about any request work! Care depends on the individual pet, their breed, age, personality and needs, as well as what training and rules their parents have in place for them, and whether they are boarding in my 3600 sq. ft. home or I am caring for them in your home. Pets boarding in my home or coming for Doggy Daycare must be UTD on all core vaccines for their species with verification from their veterinarian. For puppies under 16 weeks of age, they must be UTD with the most recent booster for their age. All puppies under 16 weeks or puppies who have not yet completed all 4 vaccine boosters yet will be the ONLY boarding client I keep during their duration of stay in order to best protect their developing immune system. As you would expect, my home and all supplies (crates, bowls, etc) are thoroughly sanitized after each client. Bowls are washed in the dishwasher at over 140 degrees to sanitize, and all floors and kennels are sanitized with Kennel Care (an effective veterinary-grade disinfectant against Parvo and all other infectious agents). I do also require that all dogs boarding here or coming for Doggy Daycare are either cat-friendly or cat-neutral (meaning they ignore them). We cannot board any dogs who are cat aggressive, small dog aggressive, or obsessive cat/dog chasers, due to the risk to our pets. Even though we have a separate space for boarding dogs, the risk of injury or death is too great if they were to somehow get loose and come into contact with them. I am sorry. This specifically means dogs who have a known history of active aggression toward prey animals or an excessive interest/obsession with chasing small dogs and cats. Simply being vocal toward cats or showing interest and wanting to gently investigate is not aggression and is fine. If you aren't sure how your baby would be, you are absolutely welcome to bring them over for a trial meeting on-leash to see how they do with them first! I will always text daily updates and pics to let you know how your babies are doing and what they are up to! I am an obsessive picture taker anyway, especially with animals. :) BOARDING DOGS: I require all dogs to be crate-trained or at least comfortable being in a crate for safety reasons (i.e. if I need to leave the house for any reason, they must be able to be crated). I keep large and medium sized comfortable, secure crates with comfortable washed fresh blankets for boarding dogs, or you are welcome to bring your own! Most boarding dogs are kept in our master suite so that I can supervise them at all times. On the rare occasion where we have boarding clients from two different families, we will set the other one up in my adult son's room. They are never alone or left ignored. For outgoing dogs who adapt well to any new situation and do well with other animals, they are allowed to run around the house with us, chill on the couch, hang out on the bed and watch TV, etc, unless their parents have trained them not to be on furniture, then we uphold this same rule for them here for consistency and they are offered blankets or beds on the floor. This is always under strict supervision, no unsupervised time loose. For dogs who are more nervous/anxious in new spaces, they are crated and given 3-5 intervals of supervised 1:1 time loose in my large master suite rather than the full house, and away from the cats or our dog if they may upset them. For the most nervous babies, I usually recommend remaining crated in a larger crate so they have room to move around, as they feel most secure there, with regular potty breaks. Similar to boarding at a veterinary clinic. All boarding dogs get lots of outside play time in our yard, always on a 30-foot training leash that is attached to my hand at all times. This lets them run and play and have fun while still always being under my control and security. I do not believe in using tie-outs nor do I ever leave a dog outside alone -- whether that is a client's dog or my own. Feeding is based on their own individual preferences and requirements/instructions from their pet parents. I have all necessary bowls here, just need their food provided. BOARDING CATS: For kitties, the most outgoing, friendly, and adaptable cats are set up in our daughter's bedroom so that they have a whole room with a comfy bed and someone to sleep with at night, as well as a clean sanitized litterbox (unless they bring their own). They are also provided plenty of cat-safe toys and clean blankets to lay on. I can provide litter unless your baby has a preference for a specific type/brand, which is no issue! My daughter LOVES having boarding cats with her and will play with them with wand toys, fuzzy mice, and laser pointers for as long as they are willing, and snuggle them in bed while playing Minecraft. I take care of all the care essentials and always have hands-on time with them to ensure all is well. For the more anxious/scared kitties who prefer to hide and have less interaction, they are kept either in a large multi-level cat condo with a litterbox at the bottom, or a large wire dog crate with the litterbox on one side and a plastic step stool on the other so they can sit elevated on top or hide underneath. I set these up inside my master bedroom if I have no boarding dogs, or my daughter's room if we do. They are allowed to decompress in a quiet warm space, and I will spend lots of time petting and loving on them if they would like it, otherwise I give them their space with just periodic check-ins and caretaking (litter, food, water, etc). BOARDING EXOTICS: Species-dependent, we can discuss specifics! DOGGIE DAYCARE: Exactly the same as boarding, just for shorter periods, whether that's an hour or two while you attend a doctor appt, or 8 hours while you work! PETSITTING IN YOUR HOME: I am fully able to stay 24/7 if you prefer, or I can just stay during the day and then head home around 9pm and back again the next morning. For clients who wish me to stay 24/7 in their home, I will need access to high-speed WiFi in order to work my remote job overnight, as I work third shift. I do not have to be isolated from pets for this job, they can hang out with me. :) While I am in your home, I can sleep either on the couch or in a guest bedroom if you have one and are comfortable, either is fine with me. For couches, I will bring my own pillow and blanket. I will not do any cooking or anything that requires making a mess or cleaning up, and guarantee your home will be left in the same condition/state it was when I arrived, and will take any trash with me when I go. Your pets will sleep wherever they are used to sleeping, so if that's with a person, they are very welcome to sleep with me! I can let them out every 1-2 hours, including while working for puppies and seniors who need overnight potty breaks. DROP-IN VISITS: For pets who stay at home and have me come over for care, I usually come over 2-3x per day for potty breaks, play breaks, a walk, meal times, litter scooping, cage cleaning, etc. and overall health checks to ensure all is well. I will always treat them as if they were my own babies and ensure they get lots of love and exercise to burn off that energy during the short time we have!

“Kelly is great! I had never used a dog walker before, but we live in an apartment now and my roommate can't handle my dog and the stairs. While I was out of town, Kelly came by each day and sent me detailed little reports with pictures. I really appreciated how communicative she was; it helped relieve my anxiety about my dog while I was on vacation. I will definitely use her in the future!”

She continually sent me little messages about their day and adorable photos. I will definitely use her as a sitter again. Thank you so much Terry!”

Our kids even made new besties with her fur babies, they played hard all week, so naturally were worn out when we got them home (worn out in a good way).
