Highly-rated overnight sitters - Oyens
About: Lifelong dog care is more than just a hobby for me—it’s a passion that began with childhood dog walking and grew into a deep commitment after my Air Force service. Today, my own dog is my constant companion and she absolutely loves making new friends, making my home a welcoming environment for your pup. My flexible part-time schedule allows me to prioritize a consistent, high-quality routine for every guest, from strict feeding schedules to plenty of one-on-one attention. I am also currently expanding my professional skills through the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid certification to ensure your furry family members are in the safest hands possible. Whether providing a calm environment to relax or a reliable home-away-from-home experience, I treat every dog with the same love and discipline as my own. With a highly flexible schedule, I offer dedicated care that mirrors your pet’s home routine. I am experienced in administering medications, maintaining strict feeding schedules, and providing plenty of exercise through daily walks. Whether it is a midday stroll or overnight boarding, I have the availability and experience—including caring for my senior neighbors' dogs—to ensure your best friend is safe, healthy, and happy. I prioritize safety through a structured home environment and professional preparation. As a military veteran, I am naturally disciplined with following your specific feeding, medication, and exercise instructions to the letter. I am currently completing the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid course to ensure I can handle any situation with confidence. My home is a secure, routine-driven space where your pet will enjoy a familiar flow—including morning dental treats, timely meals, and daily evening walks. I have a long-standing history of trust in my community, regularly boarding and walking younger, high-energy dogs for my neighbors. I also happen to be a world-class cuddler, but shh... don't tell anyone! ;)
“Fletcher had such a good time with Liz and her family. He loved having multiple friends to play with and I loved that I could rest easy knowing he was in good hands! ❤️”
About: Reliable and caring pet sitter with a genuine love for animals. I provide attentive care, walks, feeding, and plenty of affection so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated with messages and photos. As a full-time homemaker and mom of two (plus two stepkids) with a dog of my own, caring for others is a big part of my daily life. Because I’m home most of the day, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to check in on pets, go for walks, and make sure they get the attention and care they need while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I provide a safe and loving environment and treat every animal like part of the family. My yard isn’t fenced, but I have a secure tie-out and can provide additional tie-outs so dogs can safely enjoy time outside while supervised. I’m always attentive to pets’ needs and committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Our dog had a great very with Jennifer. She was very warm to both our pup and us, and assured us that he would be well taken care of. We met her pets (1 dog, 2 cats) before we booked and felt comfortable that our boy was in good hands. Jen was great about communicating every day we were gone. Our dog clearly had a good time and came back to us healthy and happy.”

“Cassandra took such great care of our husky, MJ, during a couple of short notice requested drop in visits. She sent pictures and videos and MJ clearly loved their time together. I highly recommend Cassandra to everybody. She’s amazing!”
“Elsie was amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She reliably came twice a day as requested and took excellent care of my kitties. She tidied up after them, made sure food & water was readily available, gave lots of pets and treats. She went above & beyond and even utilized a video chat so I could see them. I highly recommend her and will book her every time.”
About: I have been taking care of pets and farm animals since I was 10. Experienced with kittens and no stranger to litter box cleanings. While I was active duty Navy, I was trusted by fellow service members to watch their pets while out of town.
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 15 years. I have experience with all sizes of dogs including extra large dogs. I love dogs of all ages...especially puppies. I have taken care of dogs that had disabilities/movement issues. I believe that dogs should be treated like people and be loved as much as possible because all they want to do is make people happy. I am a dog mom and have two wonderful, but crazy Labrador Retrievers. They are my kids and I would do anything for them. I'm looking to do this at least part time, but hopefully full time. I have a full time job right now, so my schedule is a little flexible right now and my weekends are usually open. I treat all dogs and cats as if they were my own. I treat them with care, respect, and lots of love. I am very patient and I care for each dog individually because they all have different levels of need.
“Alecia was incredibly caring, organized, and very attentive with my cats.🐱 Every day she kept me informed about how everything was at home and also sent me photos of them, which made me feel very calm and reassured during my time away. She not only took care of them and administered their medication, but also made sure their water bowls were always clean. She went above and beyond by taking extra time to clean the litter boxes, clean up vomit, sweep, and keep the mat tidy. These are the kinds of details that truly make a difference.✨️ She played with them, spoiled them, and cared for them with so much love and dedication. Alecia is very kind, respectful, and warm in her communication, which builds even more trust. 🌸 Without a doubt, I highly recommend her for taking care of your furry loved ones.🐾 It’s very comforting to know that someone like her exists someone who can care for your pets as if you were there yourself. It’s clear that she truly loves what she does, and her work is simply outstanding ✨️.”
About: I grew with lots of animals. I cared for one dog and one cat growing up. I love all animals and I want to ensure you feel confident in your pets well-being. I am a student at Dordt, so I have free time during the day to check in or take your pets for a walk. My roommate has a dog, so I am often out taking Harley on midday runs with me :) I aim to provide a safe environment for your pets. I can walk them during the day and check-in on them if that is needed.
“Sarah went above and beyond caring for our cat and home during a weekend getaway. Brought large packages inside even though we didn’t ask her too. Sent photos of our cat so we could see how he was doing. Would hire again.”
“Alex was absolutely phenomenal! She provided excellent communication throughout the entire time she watched our pets—always quick to update us with photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind. Our animals clearly LOVED her and were happy and well-cared-for when we returned. We can't say enough good things about her warmth, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Thank you, Alex—we'll definitely be booking with you again!”

We’d definitely recommend her and would happily have her care for our dog again in the future.”
