Personalized care for your dog or cat - Athol
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Athol
“We couldn’t be happier with Lindsey and Leland’s care. They sent us a daily picture update and took our dog Maggie on lots of walks. It was evident that they enjoyed spending time with our dog. We will definitely use them again for future trips.”
“Tally had a great time with Mary and her family! Mary and her daughter came to the gate to greet us for drop off and pick up, and we got picture updates every day of Tally’s stay. Definitely recommended.”
“Kara was excellent with our Golden Retriever, puppy. We were so lucky to have her take care of him. You could tell she truly cared about animals. She had a perfect place for our dog to stay with a great fenced in backyard. If we are in the area again we will contact Kara!”
“Heidi was amazing! My girl settled right in and made herself at home on the couch after one day. I was hesitant to leave my baby with someone I didn’t know but Heidi went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable. When Nova was with her, I received daily updates and pictures. I will definitely ask Heidi to watch Nova again next year for the family trip to Montana!”
“The Best Dog Sitter Experience. Ashley and her family were Amazing. They treated our dog Rosie like their own. Rosie normally has anxiety and doesn’t eat at the kennel or when we are away. She had not of that with Ashley and Robbie. They were so concerned about her wellbeing. They kept us updated with regular posts and videos and pics. In fact, I was a little worried that Rosie might not want to come home. We will definitely use Ashely again, and never kennel if we can help it.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. We currently have two wonderful dogs, Bitzer and Bueller—they bring so much joy to our lives! I love taking them on walks, playing fetch, snuggling, and making sure they are incredibly well taken care of. Beyond my own pets, I have years of experience caring for friends' dogs, cats, and birds. Why Choose Me: Highly Experienced: Lifelong pet owner who understands animal behavior and needs. Reliable & Punctual: I show up exactly when promised for walks and visits. Gentle & Loving: Your pet gets the exact same high standard of care, attention, and safety that Bitzer and Bueller get. I would love the opportunity to give your pets a fun, safe, and happy experience while you are away! I am very flexible with my time throughout the weekdays and weekends. I can walk your pets, play with them, check in on them, and dog sit them at my home if they are good with other dogs and children. I will send you updates and photos during each visit so that you will have peace of mind that they are being well taken care of and feel very loved! I have a gated backyard, two very friendly dogs that are good around all people, including children, and would be willing to watch them in my home if they’re good with dogs and kids. I could also crate them if you needed me to as well. I will follow your direction on what is best for your dog(s).
“Shaunett was outstanding. She took great care of my two dogs with lots of love and affection. She sent frequent updates to let me know my dogs were doing great. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have been around animals since I was a baby, I have 19 years of pet experience. We have a small farm. I’ve also helped my mom on rover for the past few months. I am currently helping my mother with Rover so my schedule is pretty flexible. When you book with either of us you will receive 3 adults giving your babies the upmost care and respect. I have a fenced 3 acre yard and 3 friendly dogs to keep your babies company. I have crates and means of separation if that is necessary. We treat our company like family, they are allowed on furniture and able to sleep with us unless told otherwise.
“Boone had sooo much fun at Rebeccas! Their home has so much area for the dogs to run and be outside, it made me feel so good knowing he was outside so much! She was very responsive and sent lots of pics! I will definitely be using Rebecca again!”
“Carolyn was everything I hoped for and more! She was so flexible and has amazing communication. She sent pictures and made sure I knew Endo was happy as can be. I last minute had to have her keep Endo for an extra night due to travel complications and she didn’t even hesitate with this last minute change. I can’t even explain how much I appreciate finding someone who treats my pet like her own. Thank you so much and I can’t wait to keep in touch for future travel!”
“Sherin was the best! I had a call through with my previous sitter and in one day she responded and said she’d love to take him! Sent me pics and I couldn’t have felt more at ease. Definitely book!!!!”
“Erika was great communicating with us before booking and answering questions. I’m sure my puppy had a great time with her and her dogs. Erika sent pictures while my puppy was at her house and contacted me with questions. We will definitely use her services again when visiting Post Falls, ID.”
“This was the first time we left our puppy Oakley and we were so nervous! Tammy put us right at ease from the beginning and she was so accommodating to Oakley’s needs. She was great to send messages and pictures daily of the things going on each day. Thanks Tammy for taking great care of our pup!”
“Amazing dog sitter! Super reliable, caring, and great with communication. We got regular updates and our pup came home happy and relaxed. It’s clear they truly love what they do. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
“I contacted LiDan and she accepted my short notice booking for a two night stay for our 6 month old English Cream Golden Retriever. I was impressed when we were sent great photos and updates, as well as fast text replies. My dog May-C was relaxed, well-fed, and happy when we returned to pick her up. I can tell that she didn’t feel lonely without us because she had companions by her side the whole time. Finally, I would book LiDan again and recommend her to my friends and family who have beloved pets that need good care.”
About: I have hands-on experience with high-energy dogs and know how to keep them happy, exercised, and mentally engaged. I’m patient and attentive, with a gentle approach that works well for both playful pups and older dogs who need a little extra care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. As a veteran Marine and someone who has competitively trained dogs since 2020, I approach pet care with structure, consistency, and discipline. I make sure pets are cared for with structure, safety, and attention to detail. I follow consistent feeding schedules, provide exercise and play tailored to each pet’s needs, and keep their environment clean and comfortable. With my background in competitive dog training, I also incorporate positive reinforcement and mental stimulation to ensure pets are not only well cared for but also engaged and happy.
“Heather is ohenomenal. She basically adopts my dog for three days. Kept me informed and at ease. A time of great strain became bearable because of her care for my Emma. I will use her service again!”

“She did a GREAT job sitting for our kitten Misaki. She was able to meet up with me fairly last minute, and was able to stay overnight with him which was really important to us. We got pictures every day and updates at least once a day. Misaki seemed just as happy and crazy as usual when we got home. She also left our apartment nice and tidy! Definitely recommend her ?”
About: “I genuinely enjoy working with all types of animals and take great care to understand their individual needs and comfort levels. My goal is to build a trusting relationship with your cats so you can feel confident and at ease when they’re in my care.”
“From when she came out and did our initial meeting with the animals, I knew she was going to be a great fit on taking care of the animals. Our cats don’t warm up to new people quickly & they were instantly friendly. She did daily check ins on them. Always super thorough, played with the dogs and gave the kitties treats. I think our animals are actually disappointed we did not come home bearing treats after having an awesome pet sitter all week. Haha. I highly recommend Alexandrea. She did great with our crew. We’ve got two dogs and two cats. Age ranges from 1 year to 13 years old. She even did some light cleaning so we didn’t have to come home to hair covered floors.”
“Layla was amazing! I think my cat might like her more than me, now. She took great care of my lil cat & made me feel at ease with leaving her at home. Layla sent such sweet messages with the cute pictures she took. I’d book her again in a heartbeat!! It was great having a vacation without having to worry about whether my pet was okay 🙌🏼”
“Kaylee was the absolute best. She was able to watch my two dogs on super late notice for the very next day, and she didn’t mind at all. She treated them like her own and it made me feel much better about having someone come into my home to watch them. I highly recommend her!”
“Cailee was wonderful with my Larry Lou. He is a little stand offish but she worked through it and gained his trust. She communicated with me every day and set mind at ease. She even brought in packages that were piled on my front porch! I will use her again! She was great.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life! I grew up with horses, goats, chickens, cats, and dogs, and animals have always been a big part of my family. I’ve always had a cat growing up, and my daughter absolutely loves cats. Anytime she sees one, she wants to be their best friend! 🐱❤️ We truly enjoy having animals around and will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care we give our own.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 8+ years and have always had a love for animals. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own.

I’m also very attentive to their routines and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to offer plenty of time and attention to your pet. I can work around your pet’s routine and am happy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and overnight care when needed. I have a safe, comfortable home with a fenced yard and plenty of space for your pet to relax and play.

About: Hello, My name is Joy. My Life's passion is caring for animals, I am happiest to just be with them! I have 11 years experience of pet care, working on a farm with a variety of animals; dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, jersey cows,Angus cattle,horses,sheep, goats,pigs,pot belly pigs,chickens,chicks,ducks, rabbits, bunnies,Emu,zebras...You name it, I've probably taken care of it! I've had my pet sitting side gig for 3-4 years now. I am 32, I have yet to meet someone who doesn't call me sweet, and I think old people are the cutest thing ever, aside from puppies & kittens, of coarse. My desire someday is to work in a wildlife rescue, zoo, or/and own my own property to create a hobby farm/mixed animal boarding facility with fenced acreage for dogs and other animals to run around on and play. Thank you for considering me to watch your fur babies! Have a furbulous day ;) I will make sure to spend enough time in the mornings caring for your pets, taking them out, spending time with them, going for a walk or playing or cuddling before I have to go. After i get back, I will let dogs out, and make sure to feed the animals and let them out one more time before bed! I dont take them anywhere without permission. I'll play with them either in their yard or in the house. I like to give them treats.
“Amanda did a great job feeding my pups while I was away! My dogs love her, and she enjoyed her time with them. She sent a Rover card and photos, which also provided the time she started and finished. I will definitely call on her again in the future. Thanks, Carol”
“Molly was great! We’ve got two senior kitties- one that needs twice daily medication- and Molly took good care of them while we were away. We were able to rest easy knowing they were in good hands.”
“Whenever we leave home we always trust Gabby and Kade to check in on our two cats. They are always reliable and give us detailed updates on our fur babies. I would highly recommend them!”
“Stephanie is great with communication about our cats. Both our cats immediately went to her at greeting. We will have Stephanie watch our four-legged family again! She is genuine, honest and trustworthy.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Athol
“I reached out to Mary on Sunday in desperation hoping to find a dog sitter so that we could take our kids to Silverwood on Monday and have our dogs be cool and hydrated while we went to the park. Mary was so responsive with booking, pick up, drop off and sending pictures throughout the day. Her kids Tristan and Taylor were instrumental in helping with pick up and drop off. If we ever come back to silverwood and in need of dog care i will most certainly reach out. Thank you! Highly recommended!!!”
“Lindsey and Leland are the nicest people in the world. They made Laika feel like she was a member of the family and were very accommodating of my schedule on a last minute booking.”

“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our elderly dog for the day. Your kindness and attention gave us real peace of mind, and we would happily recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“We were in a pickle! We drove from Black Diamond WA to Elk Point ID and thought our dog would be ok in a hotel room while we attended a wedding. Our Yorkie is very spoiled and wasn’t having it! Carolyn saved our butts last minute and watched him whole we went to the wedding. Frank had fun and was just fine when we picked him up. Well cared for home with a fenced yard. Thank you so much Carolyn!”
“Hannah takes my big ole GSD twice a week. She always sends me photos and he is always fulfilled when he comes home. She feeds him in the evening since I work late :) Highly recommend!!”
“Luna had such a great visit! Ashley’s Labradoodle and Luna the Goldendoodle hit it off in their Huge backyard. Perfect. Ashley is extremely attentive and an easygoing. Will definitely be back.”
About: We have lots of experience with dogs and cats from youngsters, to active, to frail seniors. Pet friendly home with a clean and comfortable fenced yard. My husband and I are semi-retired, active family. At home most every day. We play in the backyard and take walks in our peaceful neighborhood. We have a lovely private fenced backyard. We have room for your crate or kennel and we also have a pet play pen if needed.
About: I have experience with dogs of various shapes and sizes—Chihuahua, Shih-tzu, Bull Terrier, Pit bulls, Akita, St. Bernard, Airedaile, to name a few. I also have experience caring for other animals like cats, chickens, ducks, goats, etc. Just show me what you need done and I’ll get it done. I’m here because I absolutely adore animals. I’m a caring and compassionate person and I hope to give fellow pet parents a sense of relief as they look to this community for care and services. I am a responsible person, with a relatively laidback lifestyle. I won’t be out late and I won’t leave your dog alone for long periods of time. I have an extremely close bond with my own dogs and see them as important members of our home. I will treat your pets the same way. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible, but to house sit, I will need internet access. In the afternoons I may need to leave for a short period (2-3 hours) to spend time with my family. I like to care for your pet the same way you would. I prefer that your pets feel like it’s just another day. As a pet owner myself, I understand the nerves that come with entrusting your pets to another person. I aim to alleviate that stress and anxiety as much as possible— for you and your pet!
“Jessica did a wonderful job taking care of our precious Winston! We are planning a trip and I am going to ask Jessica to watch him again for the long holiday weekend. So personable and obviously a compassionate person who took really good care of our dog! Thank you very much Jessica ?”
“Brutus seemed very happy and taken care of during and after his stay with Sherin. She was very accommodating and worked us in last minute. Thanks again for taking good care of him!”
About: I discovered my love for animals when my mom rescued a Shiba Inu shortly after my dad died. Since then, I've made every effort to learn as much as I can about cats and dogs, including going to professional grooming school and I'm currently working on becoming a certified dog trainer. Most of my experience with cats has come from my sister and her roommate, but I love cats just as much as I love dogs I do have another part time job, but scheduling is flexible so I'll have plenty of time in the day to check on your buddy! I'm very conscious of their safety and always use a leash, always make sure fenced areas are secure, and that there's no toxic plants around them. My own have a history of bolting/running away, so these things have become 2nd nature for me.
About: I’ve had 2 shihtzus since they were 8 weeks old. Have lost both within the last 2 years at ages 15 and 17. Me and hubby enjoyed them and we miss them terribly. I love strolls around the block and playtime. Serious lap time and undivided attention is awaiting your special fur baby, as I am retired and at home full time. Each year I go to Utah to dog sit for my middle son for 2 weeks while they vacation. They’ve had a Rottweiler, Berniedoodle and Yorkies. The big guys loved TAKING ME on daily walks around their local park. I always took my 2 shihtzus swimming every time we went boating. Perfect day in my opinion!!! I am retired and available most of the time. Short trips to the grocery store or other errands are basically the only time I leave. I have a fenced yard and plenty of room inside and outside. Special diets or medications are not a problem. I liked to wash my dogs faces after mealtimes. They can sleep in my bed, or not. Your preference.
“First time using app based on local recommendation. Traveling with an extended stay. Had a meet and greet with Jackie before doggie day care to settle my nerves. Warm and friendly and bonded with Ranger immediately. Met her at house next day for drop off and she was very attentive asking questions about allergies and concerns. Felt very comfortable and at ease with leaving Ranger there for a “staycation”. He settled in quickly and Jackie kept me updated with text and pics and how he was doing throughout the day. The pics say it all. Highly recommended and hope we have another opportunity in the future.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young 🐶💗 Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love animals, so your pet will always feel safe, happy, and loved in my care ✨🐾 I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. My baby loves animals, and we enjoy spending time outdoors, playing, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I’ll care for your pets like they’re part of my family. I’ll follow your routine, provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, give lots of love and playtime, and send regular photo updates so you know your pet is happy and safe while you’re away. I have a fenced yard as well!
“Stephanie took amazing care of our pup while we were traveling through the area and had an activity planned where we couldn’t bring our dog. It’s hard to trust a stranger with our beloved pet but she made us feel at ease with a phone call first and then allowing us to visit her home to drop him off. We would definitely request her again if we are ever back in the area and needed pup care.”

About: I’ve been passionate about caring for animals my whole life and have several years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s long walks, playtime in the yard, or just some quiet cuddle time, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve also cared for senior dogs with special needs, so I’m confident handling medications, special diets, and unique routines. Your pet will be treated like family with me! I am currently available most days of the week to take care of your furry friends I only can’t work on Tuesday's but can be flexible to rearrange my schedule if given enough time. I currently have only a very spoiled indoor bunny at my house so boarding at my house is unavailable but I am totally going to show you pictures of him. But I am the pet sitter for my family and friends so I’m use to the change of environments. So if your pet has cute quirks and unique schedule don’t worry I am totally on board. I understand having someone new enter your families environment is super hard but I am here to keep your furry friends safe and do things at your pace.

In the house we have a Vizsla, four cats, and salt water fish. In the past I have also had a gecko and a hedgehog. I am available from 11am to 2pm and after 5pm. My weekend availability varies as I have tournaments most weekends, but I am usually available all day on Sundays. I also am available full time during holiday breaks. I do not offer care at my house because I don’t want to risk any problems with my pets, but I am happy to come to your house or take your pets for walks!
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could remember! I’ve lived on a farm and find pleasure in tending to animal needs! Pets are therapeutic and are make great buddies for outdoor activities! I’m currently working full-time and have availability in the late afternoon (after 3PM) to tend to your pets desires! I typically work mornings 7AM-3PM. I enjoy working with people and animals, and find them to truly make a difference in our outlooks in life! I unfortunately currently am unable to board animals or do day care at my home. Fortunately, I do spend a lot of time outdoors, and enjoy having a buddy along the ride! So if needed, I’d love to take your animal for a ride and to go sight/adventure seeking!
“Kaylee was amazing with my pups! She spent a lot of time getting to know them with lots of hugs and kisses then took them on their walk. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again!”

About: I’ve been hired to groom a good handful of dogs and a cat! I’ve lived with black Labs mostly but dogs of all sizes my whole life including senior-blind/diabetic-neglected-and puppies and love teaching basic tricks and catering to loves and dislikes to keep animals as comfortable and safe with me as possible!

About: *** I will be available only for Drop-in Visits through the Winter in Spokane and CDA starting November 1st. Hope to talk to you soon!**** I have been a housesitter and petsitter for years. I really enjoy getting to have new pet friends! I have taken care of all sorts of animals--dogs, cats, birds, lizards, hamsters, bunnies, horses, pigs, goats, chickens and even cows! I feel comfortable with pets who have medical issues, as well. I also have done a fair amount of pet massages for dogs and cats (not lizards, though!!) I have an online business, so I usually housesit and work part-time online. This makes it very easy for me to be in a home with pets who need more attention, or dogs that need walked often. I have done all levels of pet care-from simple one hour drop-in visits for cats to feeding and cleaning up for horses and cows (extra fee for that!!) So, I am very versatile with my clients! I also find that I bond easily with pets, and can often connect to shy or nervous cats and dogs by being present, calm and talking to them. I also know to leave someone alone when they just don't want to connect. I usually do lots of walks and playing together as well as simply sitting and petting and offering yummy treats!
About: Hi, I'm Stephanie, and this is my husband Luke. We're your Critter Companions, and with us, two is always better. For overnight stays we work as a team, which means double the attention, double the playtime, and an extra set of eyes on your property. We specialize in residential pet and property care. As independent caretakers, our mission is estate-level care that gives you complete peace of mind: your pets stay comfortable in their own home, and your property is truly looked after, not just checked on. ✦ What We Specialize In We're especially comfortable with the pets and situations that need extra care and attention: ✓ Special needs and senior pets (blind, deaf, mobility-challenged, or behaviorally complex) ✓ Complex medication schedules: pills, injections, eye drops, you name it ✓ High-maintenance breeds that need extensive grooming, intense exercise, or dedicated training ✓ Extended stays, comfortably caring for your pets for weeks or even months at a time ✓ Holiday care, because I don't disappear during Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's ✓ Multi-pet households, managing different personalities, feeding schedules, and needs ✓ Anxious or reactive pets, with patient, consistent care that helps nervous animals feel secure ✦ A Little About Us We were both raised around animals, but I turned that passion into my life's work. I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, the neighborhood's trusted pet sitter long before it was a profession. Thirteen years later, I've cared for everything from easy-going family dogs to high-maintenance breeds with special medical needs, for stays ranging from long weekends to month-long holidays. What clients tell me sets me apart is how I read animals. I pick up on the subtle changes in behavior, body language, and those little cues that tell you something's off before it becomes a problem. I'm not going through the motions; I love what I do, and that enthusiasm shows in how I care for your pets and your home. ✦ Your Home, Cared For I look after your home just as carefully: mail, plants, trash bins, security checks, and that lived-in presence that keeps your property safe. You'll receive regular photo and video updates so you can truly relax while you're away. ✦ Values You Can Trust Beyond the practical care, we believe the people you let into your home matter just as much as the work they do. We love the Lord, and our faith in Jesus shapes how we run our business and how we treat what's entrusted to us. For us that means a simple, steady lifestyle: we don't drink, smoke, party, or invite guests into your home. While you're away, your house stays exactly as it should, quiet, respected, and cared for, with nothing happening under your roof that you wouldn't welcome yourself. When you hand us your keys, you're trusting us with your home and your family. We take that seriously, and we hold ourselves to it no matter the circumstances. ✦ Let's Connect Over the years I've built lasting relationships with pets and their owners because I treat every home like my own and every pet like family. I'd be honored to earn that same trust from you. If you're looking for someone who will love and protect your pets (and home) like their own, let's connect. Pet care isn't a side hustle for me—it's my primary focus and passion. My husband and I are entrepreneurs with flexible schedules, which means we can provide the kind of attentive, present care that pets truly need. For overnight stays, we're in your home from evening through the following morning (and throughout the day if needed), so your pets are never alone for extended periods. We don't juggle multiple clients at once or rush between appointments. When we commit to caring for your pets, they have our full attention for the duration of your trip. We're available for extended stays including weekends, holidays, and even month-long commitments. Because we work as a team, your pets benefit from having two consistent caregivers who can coordinate schedules, provide extra play sessions, and ensure someone is always nearby if needed. In Your Home: I've been around animals literally since I was an infant—they've always been my comfort, my joy, and honestly, my obsession. There's something about the presence of animals that just feels like home to me, and that's exactly the energy I bring to your pets and property. As the owner of a young, energetic Miniature Australian Shepherd, I know firsthand what it takes to meet the demands of intelligent, high-energy breeds. I'm devoted to keeping my own dog mentally stimulated, physically tired, and emotionally fulfilled—and I bring that same level of commitment to every pet in my care. Your pets aren't just a job to me; they're loved and treated with the same compassion and attention I give my own. Pet Safety & Care: ✓I follow your routines exactly—feeding times, medication schedules, exercise patterns, and house rules ✓Secure all doors, windows, and gates before letting pets outside (no escape artists on my watch!) ✓Keep toxic plants, foods, and hazards out of reach ✓Monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health ✓Have your vet information and emergency contacts readily accessible ✓Never introduce your pets to unfamiliar animals or people without permission ✓Provide the mental stimulation and physical activity your pets need to stay happy and healthy Home Security & Cleanliness: ✓Maintain a "lived-in" presence with lights, blinds, and your normal routine ✓Collect mail and packages to avoid signaling an empty home ✓Take trash bins to/from curb on collection days ✓Water plants and maintain your home's appearance ✓Provide regular photo/video updates so you can see everything (and everyone) is doing great ✓I pride myself on attention to detail and cleanliness—you'll come home to a thoroughly cleaned space that exceeds expectations Trust & Respect: I treat your home with the utmost respect—no unauthorized guests ever and I leave your space cleaner than I found it. My husband and I work as a team, which means your pets get double the love and your home gets double the oversight. The best part? When you walk through that door after your trip, your pets will be more giddy than ever to see you—well-exercised, well-loved, and so happy you're home. And you can relax knowing everything was handled with care.
About: I have always had dogs since I was a kid and I love to take them out on hikes, walks, to the beach, and playing fetch in the yard! I have watched dogs for my family and friends and I love being with animals! I am currently not working or in school and have lots of time to hangout at home with the pets! I love being outside and going on walks or swims with the animals! I have a doggy door at my house with a nice fenced yard and plenty of toys for the animals! I am home all day and love to spend time with animals! I have two friendly dogs and a sweet cat! One is a golden retriever and she is very sweet with other dogs but mostly sleeps all day. The other one is a pointer and loves to play and run around! Our cat is usually sleeping or climbing around outside.
About: I am an avid hiker, biker, jogger and dog park enthusiast. I'm always looking for new hikes, trails and dog park adventures for me and my 2 Dogs. I have a 12 yr old lady dog whom I take on her own special shorty turtle pace hike and I have a 3 yr old extremely well-trained dog that is amazing with all other dogs and animals and he joins me on all other adventures. I am looking to help others get their loved pups out and about and have some doggy time. I know the importance of exercise and socialization for our pups and sometimes life gets hectic. A tired doggy is a good doggy. Your pup will get socialization, exercise, training and love. I have a flexible schedule, so I am able to personalize pet/house/property sit with your schedule. My goal is to provide mindful, personalized care that keeps pets happy, active and comfortable so you can enjoy your day/travels with peace of mind. I provide in-home pet sitting and drop-in visits. This can include feeding, playtime, exercise, companionship. I'm dependable, attentive and respectful of both your pets and home.
About: I have experience with larger breeds all the way to chihuahuas. I enjoy long walks, playing and training. Experience with puppies and seniors. I have no issues with potty training or house sitting. I work part time and have plenty of availability for walking, playing or sitting any day of the week! I am open to early mornings as well as multiple times a week or consistent scheduling. I adjust according to owners systems and ways of training. I respect the owners trainings and the needs of your pet! I respect others personal property and home and will treat it like it were my own as well as your pets!
About: My first job was a at a doggy daycare/ boarding facility but I have been pet sitting since I was 12. I’ve worked with puppies all the way through seniors receiving cancer treatment. I have a playful golden retriever who adores all animals big and small. I have experience bathing and giving insulin to cats too. I volunteered at a rescue ranch for a number of years and have experience with livestock. I personally have ducks, chickens, reptiles and a senior cat as companions for my golden. I am currently working 3 days a week for a tax office and am unavailable from January to April. On my off days I hike and take my golden to the river. I have a contract that I have been using since 2010 that outlines my safety procedures. When I am in a clients home I always have them review it and do a walk around of the home with them. From my years at doggy daycare I am pretty familiar with certain breed characteristics like the awesome heights husky’s can jump or the tunneling ability of a weenie. I also am very understanding about separation anxiety as someone who has worked at rescues. For walks I require a harness or collar the dog cannot slip out of. I require an in person meeting beforehand, if doggy play dates with my dog are requested we must meet on neutral ground first to see how they interact.
About: While growing up, we always had dogs, living with my best friend, i was her dogs' training instructor, and I have almost always lived with dogs' myself. I love them, despite them being much more needy than cats, but alike, we've always had cats too- even some households where cats and dogs weren't allowed to intermingle. I'm quick to catch a runaway and I've got an open schedule most the time. Our animals are like our children, they need attentive love and care, they sleep a lot, but their bedtimes food schedules and habits are as much of their nature as habit, and breaking their habits, never results in good endings. I operate my own business as SeansServices.Com, I do several tasks like landscaping, cleaning, moving or hauling. My schedule is pretty open until i have a job, then after my job, I am wide open again. There are times I'll do a long distance move, but I do know others on Rover I can recommend or refer if I am unavailable. I will always be up front. I currently cannot offer at home care, but I play with, work with and ask for or look up schedules every time they're given, with screen shots and alarms just like any job, I take my jobs seriously and my attentive and alertness on high. I never know what an animal is capable of until they show me, so I treat them all fairly with common warnings in mind, while addressing and watching for new concerns.

“We couldn’t be happier with Lindsey and Leland’s care. They sent us a daily picture update and took our dog Maggie on lots of walks. It was evident that they enjoyed spending time with our dog. We will definitely use them again for future trips.”
“Tally had a great time with Mary and her family! Mary and her daughter came to the gate to greet us for drop off and pick up, and we got picture updates every day of Tally’s stay. Definitely recommended.”
“Kara was excellent with our Golden Retriever, puppy. We were so lucky to have her take care of him. You could tell she truly cared about animals. She had a perfect place for our dog to stay with a great fenced in backyard. If we are in the area again we will contact Kara!”
“Heidi was amazing! My girl settled right in and made herself at home on the couch after one day. I was hesitant to leave my baby with someone I didn’t know but Heidi went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable. When Nova was with her, I received daily updates and pictures. I will definitely ask Heidi to watch Nova again next year for the family trip to Montana!”
“The Best Dog Sitter Experience. Ashley and her family were Amazing. They treated our dog Rosie like their own. Rosie normally has anxiety and doesn’t eat at the kennel or when we are away. She had not of that with Ashley and Robbie. They were so concerned about her wellbeing. They kept us updated with regular posts and videos and pics. In fact, I was a little worried that Rosie might not want to come home. We will definitely use Ashely again, and never kennel if we can help it.”

“Amazing dog sitter! Super reliable, caring, and great with communication. We got regular updates and our pup came home happy and relaxed. It’s clear they truly love what they do. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
“I contacted LiDan and she accepted my short notice booking for a two night stay for our 6 month old English Cream Golden Retriever. I was impressed when we were sent great photos and updates, as well as fast text replies. My dog May-C was relaxed, well-fed, and happy when we returned to pick her up. I can tell that she didn’t feel lonely without us because she had companions by her side the whole time. Finally, I would book LiDan again and recommend her to my friends and family who have beloved pets that need good care.”
“Heather is ohenomenal. She basically adopts my dog for three days. Kept me informed and at ease. A time of great strain became bearable because of her care for my Emma. I will use her service again!”
About: Hi! I’m Morgan, and I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from Chihuahuas/ Jack Russells to Great Danes, and I absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also have experience caring for cats and would be happy to give them the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. I currently have three dogs of my own, but they will be kept separate from your pet and crated when appropriate to make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. I have two children, ages 13 and 8, who have grown up around animals and love them just as much as I do. We understand that every pet has different needs and boundaries, and we’ll respect their space while making them feel welcome and loved. When your pet stays with us, my goal is for them to feel like they’re at a home away from home. They’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being well cared for. I would love the opportunity to spoil your pet with lots of love and attention while you’re away! 🐶🐱❤️ A Little About Me 🐾 I work part-time, and my husband works from home, so there is usually someone home throughout the week to give your pet plenty of attention and care. We love having animals around and want every pet who stays with us to feel comfortable, safe, and at home. We are available to care for pets throughout the week. Due to our religious observance, we do not offer pick-up or drop-off from Friday sundown through Saturday sundown. We’re happy to coordinate drop-off and pick-up times around this schedule. We look forward to welcoming your furry family member into our home! ❤️🐶🐱 We live on 5 beautiful acres with plenty of room for your pet to explore and enjoy walks. Our property is not fenced, so pets will always be supervised outside and kept safely on a leash. We also live on a quiet gravel road, which gives us a great opportunity to take pets on walks. Our goal is to provide your pet with lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Tell us about your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking habits, and any special instructions, and we will do our best to keep their routine as familiar as possible. My husband does need to pick up and drop off our children from school during the day. For your pet’s safety, they will be securely crated during those brief times when no one is home. Otherwise, we are home frequently and able to give your pet plenty of companionship and attention. We want you to feel confident knowing your pet is staying with a family who will treat them like one of our own! ❤️🐶🐱
