“Wendy once again too Capone in for boarding during a family emergency. Capone “Pony” loves it there which makes me as an owner very happy and at ease for when I do have to leave him m during certain trips. Thank you Rover for having Wendy on your site.”

“Heidi Was great! Drop off was easy. Aspen (Dog) grew up on a small farm, so it was like visiting his old home. She sent photos of him to me and that warmed my heart. I would 100% recommend Heidi to anyone!”


“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.”

“Lindsey & Leland took such amazing care of our two pets! First time we've left our dogs with someone and felt okay about it. Our pups got the VIP treatment, and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again!”

“Suzanne and her family were wonderful with dog. He is a bit anxious so he needs to be somewhere out of town where he can be off leash. At Suzanne’s house he walks in the woods and plays with her older dog. He bonded with Suzanne’s son and I got lots of pictures. Suzanne was very flexible on both drop off and pick up time as I was traveling with friends and didn’t have an exact time. We will definitely be back to Suzanne’s house for dog care.!”

“Their communication was great. They took our 8-month old puppy (Betty) into their family for 3 nights. They asked if I was OK if she went on a family hike and sent pictures of Betty on the hike. The whole family is kind and welcoming. Betty enjoyed her time there.”

“We love Mikey! The dogs love Mikey! One of our dogs is fragile due to a heart condition and is on meds. Mikey took good care of him and I didn't need to worry. She has an awesome yard for the dogs to run and play. I was on a va-cay and I think my dogs felt that they were too!”


About: In the last three years I’ve raised 3 different puppies and taken care of a personal rescue. Aswell I’ve taken care of 3 senior/weak dogs at the same time with no issues. I currently work as a farm hand on my mom’s horse facility. So when home I’m out doing projects. But I can leave and stay anywhere if without much fuss. I have a nice fenced yard for free play time aswell as some land for them to really stretch the legs. I have two healers at my home. One spayed female 2yrs old, and one 7 month old male not neutered. They love to play but also jsut chill and cuddle.

“Serena was wonderful! We took an extremely last minute trip out of town and Serena was very flexible and prompt responding. She sent updates every day with pictures and Walter looked happy and relaxed. We’ll definitely use her again!”

“This was our first time ever using Rover, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! They took such incredible care of our dog and truly treated her like one of their own. It was obvious she felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for the entire time she was there. She got along so well with their dog, and they played hard every single day, which made us so happy to see. We also really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and communication while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog. We wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!”

“Kara did an excellent job caring for our dog and took care of him as if he was her own dog. She was willing and able to keep his general daily routine which kept him comfortable, happy and healthy. She was attentive to his needs and sent regular updates with photos. Kara is a wonderful and loving sitter and I highly recommend her.”

“Kim and David were incredible pet sitters for our dog, Cookie! They instantly put us at ease and treated Cookie with utmost care and attention. When we returned, Cookie was happy and well-cared for, and it was evident that she had been in excellent hands. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking loving and trustworthy pet sitters!”

“My dogs were well taken care of with Nicole. She kept me posted on how they were doing and has a great set up for housing pups, with property for dogs to walk and play. She was easy to work with and was able to watch my dogs with a last minute request. I highly ecommend!”

“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.”


“Stephanie was beyond fantastic! She was incredibly responsive and gave great check ins on how my pup was doing. She is incredibly kind, patient and caring to both pup and owner alike. I find myself so lucky to have found her! 10/10 would recommend.”


“Abby takes pet care to a level I never thought possible, she is the best we’ve ever found, and our dog June adores her like a beloved family member. Abby’s love for animals runs so deep and it shows in the absolute top-level care and attention she gives to fur babies. She also lives a non-toxic lifestyle and is an expert on human and pet nutrition, so we feel so safe and at peace whenever our dog is with her— no chemical exposures, no weird fragrances when we get our dog back (which has been an issue with pet sitters in the past), and we know our dog is getting the most nourishing, high-quality food and treats when she’s with Abby. Abby has even helped guide us on tweaking our dog’s diet for better outcomes, and at 7.5 years old, our dog June has never been healthier and so vibrant, which we attribute to Abby’s help. Abby is passionate about giving dogs the utmost in outdoor adventures and healthy socialization when she’s caring for them, and our June comes home from her house so fulfilled, balanced and at peace (in the past with other pet sitters our dog has come home more anxious and on edge, but this is certainly never the case with Abby on watch). Abby also keeps up on communication and check-ins when we’re away, sending pictures and updates, and my gosh what a magical life these pets have when they are with Abby! It’s a dog’s dream!!! We have so much peace of mind when we leave our dog June with Abby, which is something every pet owner deserves to feel when they’re away for a while. Abby is an angel, and the warmth and love she provides in her home is incredible, it’s not something you see often. I can think of no one better to leave your beloved fur babies with. When people say she’s a dog whisperer, they aren’t kidding. See for yourself. She’s amazing.”

“We are exceptionally grateful to Laura for the love and care she provided for our older guy. This was our first trip leaving him with someone outside of our family and for a week; there was anxiety to say the least. Laura provided morning and evening updates, sending pictures of our guy enjoying his vacation too! She continued to give walks morning and night even when it the weather turned chilly! I would recommend Laura to all my friends and encourage you to reach out to her. She is now a part of our family and we will be using her in the future seeking all her love and care. Thank you, Laura!”

About: During Covid, I was laid off and it turned into a wonderful experience of being able to dog sit. I was watching 5 dogs on a regular basis, feeding, playing, napping, and loving on each and every one of them. I absolutely love dogs, I have taken care of small to big dogs and they are all my favorite!! I worked at an animal shelter and gained a lot of animal knowledge and experience from there I am currently working a full time job Monday through Friday until 3PM, with occasional weekend shifts. I am able to do drop in, house sitting, and walkings in the afternoons. I can provide lots of love, attention, and stimulation to your pets. I am very active but also love to relax and provide cuddles if your pet is more on the mellow side of activity. I am happy to clean up any messes, and follow any particular instructions of care you may have for your pet.

“Leaving your buddy behind when you travel is always stressful, and it was such a relief to find Kathryn and know that she was taking care of my cat so considerately. Kathryn was thoughtful, attentive, and communicative. She truly went above and beyond to help care for my cat. My tortie can be a bit slow to warm up, and she took the time to get to know her and her needs, coax her into playing, and spend extra care and attention on her. She kept me informed about my cat's eating habits and well-being and did a great job both caring for her and assuaging my worry while traveling. I found her to be kind and responsible, and I'm looking forward to booking her again when I take my next trip!”


“Abby did a wonderful job of looking after my cat, Matisse. Abby gave her lovely company while we were gone, sent lots of pictures and clearly loves animals. I won’t hesitate to use her again next time we are out of town.”

About: Trusting your dog with anyone is a big deal, and I want you to feel at ease the entirety of the stay. Just know that you can count on me. I will not only make sure they are safe but also give them lots of love. Experience: I’ve always been a big animal lover! When I was around 13, I began pet sitting for friends and people around the neighborhood. Now, I have about 6 years experience pet sitting different clients. Taking care of and just being around dogs gives me so much joy, and I think this is the greatest job in the world!😊🐾 The sitting process: If wanted, I am available for meet and greets to make sure I am the perfect fit for you and your family! During the pet sitting process, I will give you updates on how your dog is doing, and send you pictures of your baby while you are away. I can take them on walks, play, feed, give them medication, and more. Just ask if there’s anything special you need done. I will request a lot of information about what your needs and wants before hand just to make sure we are on the same page. If I am staying at your home, one of my goals is to make your lives easier!

I am available even on short notice a lot of the time. I do all my school on my computer so I can keep your dog company without leaving them alone. Trust is the most important thing for me when dog sitting. I want you and your dog to both be able to trust and rely on me. It is so important to find someone trustworthy when it comes to our pets because they are the most important things in the world for us. Feel free to call or FaceTime me anytime to see how your baby is doing. I will always answer. I will send updates and photos. I will also let you know whenever I go somewhere. And like I said, I am available to do a meet and greet before hand.

“She is great with my dog who is a newer rescue with some separation anxiety. She is very in tune with animals and their physical and emotional needs, she’s communicative with me (love the photos!) and prompt with arrival times. She’s also great with my other animals (a tiny timid rescue pup and two cats) Would recommend and will be rebooking!”


“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!!!”

“This was an incredible introduction to Rover! My puppy (and kids) didn’t want to leave Leland and Lindsey’s house. What a beautiful family who were so sweet to our pup! Thanks for a great day!”

“Chantelle was amazing. She took such good care of her sweet little doggie. She treated him like it was her own. And she is a wonderful person. I will use her again if I ever need to thank you.”

“Abby was amazing with Charlie! He loved going to her house for day care, got along well with her dog, Julia, and they had fun adventures every day. He would come home and just sleep. I will definitely use Abby in the future.”

“Was a perfect place for our Blu. He was well taken care of. Mikey is amazing. So kind, sent us photos, kept us updated, she was flexible with pick up times. Her yard for the dogs is amazing. Will be back next year!! Thank you.”

“We were traveling to Waterton National Park of Canada by way of Coeur d’Alene. We wanted a place to leave our sweet pup Georgie to allow for flexibility with our friends. I cannot tell you how happy we were to have found Kara. I could tell the minute I walked in the door that Georgie would be a happy camper. On day two she ran to the front door and couldn’t wait to get in the house. We will definitely use Aunty Kara if we’re ever traveling in this area again. I highly recommend her.”


“We left Stephanie with 2 over 60-lb puppies (they are not yet a year old) for 3 weeks of daycare and she did awesomely. They had the time of their lives. Lots and lots of exercise, smells galore, not only on her 20 acre property, but she took them to special places - like a beach, where they ran and ran. She send me pictures regularly while we were away on our trip to Japan, so we didn't worry and could see them thriving. Some days when our son would pick them up, they didn't want to come home! Can't give her a higher recommendation.”

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!

“Our sweet girl had such an awesome time with Melissa, Joey, and the whole family! We came for a meet and greet and Mira was immediately ready to go inside and hang out with them, it was really quite an amazing thing for our dog is picky and a little weary of new places!

About: Animals and animal care has always been my passion, I’m currently working towards getting my bachelors degree in animal science and zoology! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals and I’ve done a lot of rescue and rehoming! I love animals, from cats to fish, lizards and birds. I’m crazy about all of them. I’ve cared for babies and elderly of a lot of different species and I pride myself in always doing my best in taking care of all their needs. Ive got quite a few of my own babies at the moment but they’re all very friendly and adjust easily to new animals. I don’t currently work because I’m working towards getting my bachelors degree in animal science/zoology, so I’m home 24/7 to care for my own pets and school, I have two crate trained dogs, five cats, two frogs, two birds, fish, and a hamster, so I’m basically always cleaning and playing or training one or the other! While I live in an apartment, we have multiple fenced dog parks and ample walking area away from the roads for walkies with the dogs, my apartment is pretty spacious especially in the living room and animals are allowed around the whole apartment. If I were to watch your babies at your residence I would stick strictly to the rules you set for me and never overstep your boundaries or rules.

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.

“Wendy once again too Capone in for boarding during a family emergency. Capone “Pony” loves it there which makes me as an owner very happy and at ease for when I do have to leave him m during certain trips. Thank you Rover for having Wendy on your site.”

“Heidi Was great! Drop off was easy. Aspen (Dog) grew up on a small farm, so it was like visiting his old home. She sent photos of him to me and that warmed my heart. I would 100% recommend Heidi to anyone!”


“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.”

“Lindsey & Leland took such amazing care of our two pets! First time we've left our dogs with someone and felt okay about it. Our pups got the VIP treatment, and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again!”

“Suzanne and her family were wonderful with dog. He is a bit anxious so he needs to be somewhere out of town where he can be off leash. At Suzanne’s house he walks in the woods and plays with her older dog. He bonded with Suzanne’s son and I got lots of pictures. Suzanne was very flexible on both drop off and pick up time as I was traveling with friends and didn’t have an exact time. We will definitely be back to Suzanne’s house for dog care.!”

“Their communication was great. They took our 8-month old puppy (Betty) into their family for 3 nights. They asked if I was OK if she went on a family hike and sent pictures of Betty on the hike. The whole family is kind and welcoming. Betty enjoyed her time there.”

“We love Mikey! The dogs love Mikey! One of our dogs is fragile due to a heart condition and is on meds. Mikey took good care of him and I didn't need to worry. She has an awesome yard for the dogs to run and play. I was on a va-cay and I think my dogs felt that they were too!”


About: In the last three years I’ve raised 3 different puppies and taken care of a personal rescue. Aswell I’ve taken care of 3 senior/weak dogs at the same time with no issues. I currently work as a farm hand on my mom’s horse facility. So when home I’m out doing projects. But I can leave and stay anywhere if without much fuss. I have a nice fenced yard for free play time aswell as some land for them to really stretch the legs. I have two healers at my home. One spayed female 2yrs old, and one 7 month old male not neutered. They love to play but also jsut chill and cuddle.

“Serena was wonderful! We took an extremely last minute trip out of town and Serena was very flexible and prompt responding. She sent updates every day with pictures and Walter looked happy and relaxed. We’ll definitely use her again!”

“This was our first time ever using Rover, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! They took such incredible care of our dog and truly treated her like one of their own. It was obvious she felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for the entire time she was there. She got along so well with their dog, and they played hard every single day, which made us so happy to see. We also really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and communication while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog. We wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!”

“Kara did an excellent job caring for our dog and took care of him as if he was her own dog. She was willing and able to keep his general daily routine which kept him comfortable, happy and healthy. She was attentive to his needs and sent regular updates with photos. Kara is a wonderful and loving sitter and I highly recommend her.”

“My dogs were well taken care of with Nicole. She kept me posted on how they were doing and has a great set up for housing pups, with property for dogs to walk and play. She was easy to work with and was able to watch my dogs with a last minute request. I highly ecommend!”

“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.”


“Stephanie was beyond fantastic! She was incredibly responsive and gave great check ins on how my pup was doing. She is incredibly kind, patient and caring to both pup and owner alike. I find myself so lucky to have found her! 10/10 would recommend.”

“We are exceptionally grateful to Laura for the love and care she provided for our older guy. This was our first trip leaving him with someone outside of our family and for a week; there was anxiety to say the least. Laura provided morning and evening updates, sending pictures of our guy enjoying his vacation too! She continued to give walks morning and night even when it the weather turned chilly! I would recommend Laura to all my friends and encourage you to reach out to her. She is now a part of our family and we will be using her in the future seeking all her love and care. Thank you, Laura!”

“Nicholas was absolutely amazing with our pup while we were out of town. We got plenty of pictures/videos/updates and for once did not feel stressed about leaving town without our dog. Our dog is a little more anxious than most, but settled in wonderfully with Nicholas. If I could rate more than 5 stars, I would!”

“Kayla did a great job watching Gus. She has excellent facilities and was easy to coordinate with on drop off and pick-up. Gus seemed to enjoy himself. Kayla sent us photos and kept us informed during his stay.”
