“We love leaving our 2 furries, Maggie & Millie, with Colby & Dave. When we found out Dave slept on the couch with one of his furry guests who was having a sad night without his mom & dad we knew we found "real" dog lovers. We heard from them daily with pictures & reports. So happy to have them so close by!!”
“We had a very good experience with Nalleli. She was very friendly & loving with our dog. We told her that our dog did not have much social experience with other dogs. She worked to accommodate our dog’s need to make sure that things went smoothly. My wife & I highly recommend Nalleli to watch over your pets. We would definitely use her again. Thank you Nalleli for taking care of our dog.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Allison is an absolute gem 10/10, would trust her with Shiloh (and my peace of mind) again in a heartbeat! I was nervous leaving my sweet, timid girl Shiloh for the first time in years because of her separation anxiety, but Allison made the entire experience stress-free and actually joyful. From the moment we met, her calm energy and genuine love for dogs put both Shiloh and me at ease. She asked all the right questions, really listened to Shiloh’s quirks, and followed her routine to the letter. While I was away, Allison sent the most wonderful updates and a photo of Shiloh snuggling on the couch with her. You could tell Shiloh felt completely safe and loved. Shiloh clearly adores Allison and her sweet family and I can’t thank her enough for giving me total peace of mind on my trip. If you have a shy or anxious pup, Allison is the caregiver you’ve been looking for. She’s patient, attentive, communicative, and truly exceptional. We’re already looking forward to booking her again! Thank you, Allison, for loving Shiloh like your own! 🐾❤️”
“Amy was absolutely awesome to our dog! We left him with her while we went to a lake resort for the weekend and when we picked him up we could tell he had a great time.”
“Loved all the pictures of Bernie! Bernie was acting a bit weird right before we left. Jessica kept an eye on Bernie and reported on how he was doing (he was fine!). We appreciate the easy pick up and drop off and smooth communication. This is our 2nd time having Jessica and John watch Bernie and we would absolutely have them watch Bernie again. Thank you!”
“Karen is the most amazing pet lover! She took fabulous care of Emmie! We felt very confident in having her take care of our dog. They both hit it off when we first met! Daily we received a picture or a video complete with details about how well it was going! We highly recommend Karen! She included a sweet picture magnet of our dog for our fridge at home!”
“Loved how Ashley took care of my baby! I am so happy and grateful I came across Ashely's profile to look after my dog Lina. Ashley and her family took such good care of Lina. Ashley sent me pictures twice everyday and was quick with communication. Thank you Ashely! Will definitely come back!”
“Bob and Vicky are the best dog sitters. They take care of my dog with love. They share photos and videos every day which is so great. I really appreciate everything what they did for my dog, Coco.”
“We are so happy with our experience using Haley for boarding! She has a cute dog that got along well with ours. She communicated promptly with us and sent lots of pictures.”
“Melissa was so patient with Cooper. He was so scared and sad that we “left” him and gave Melissa a hard time the first day. She won him over the 2nd day and I was so relieved. We were thinking of coming home early, but she was so patient and kind Cooper was fine the rest of the time letting us enjoy Thanksgiving and our granddaughter’s first birthday party on Saturday. Thank you so much Melissa for taking good care of Cooper and Sandy too.”
“We love Brieanna! She takes great care of Gunther and sends pictures of him playing and napping. We are reassured that he is well taken cared of when we can’t take him with us. Brieanna is our number one choice for a caretaker for Gunther.”
“Vanessa and her husband were great! They provided daily updates with pictures and we’re always responsive throughout the process. I’d definitely recommend them to look after your pups!”
“I booked Tasha for my dog Milo and had a great experience! You can tell Tasha cares for her clients (and their owners). I got many updates thoroughout the day including pictures! I would definitely use Tasha again. I especially loved the report card after we got back from our trip. It’s nice to know that I didn’t have to worry about Milo during our vacation. He was well taken care of, highly recommend Tasha.”
“Jillian is wonderful and took great care of our very small doodle. We look forward to booking with Jillian the next time we're out of town. Highly recommended.”
“Gabriel is great with our husky, she is super sweet and understands the breed very well! We always get sweet updates about how our dog is doing, it eases our mind when traveling to know our beloved pup is receiving excellent care at "camp" 😊 we use her every time we travel!”

“Ashley was fantastic. She showed up with a C notebook, took notes, asked all the right questions. She stayed in communication with us about the cats and left the most adorable drawing of the kitties for us when we got home. 10 out of 10!”
“Rebecca is such a sweet and genuine soul who our boys love to see when she lets them out in the middle of the day! She is punctual, respectful, great with our pups, sends pics, thorough updates, and is just a wonderful person all around! Highly recommend!”
About: My mom was a crazy cat lady and the apple has not fallen far from the tree. Cats have been apart of my life ever since I was a child, with one notable story as a kid of how I won over the trust of a timid cat over the course multiple weeks. I will give your cat the attention it needs by playing with and petting them while also making sure they are not stressed and comfortable.
“Tina did an awesome job while we were away. Even when we had to extend our trip, she stepped right in. Our cat is happy and he obviously had great care while we were away! We've found our go-to sitter!”
About: I've had many cats over the years. What inlove most about cats are their independence...they do whatever they want whenever they want, and they always are the boss of the house! I have experience with senior cats as well as having bottled fed newborns.
“Sage did a great job checking in on our cat for 5 mornings in a row! She did everything we asked of her. She was very punctual by checking in with us each morning. And left us a picture each day. My cat unfortunately had other things on his mind. He was playing hard to get. As Sage came by early each morning, he was either still out hunting, or was hiding in his secret place. She said she only caught a glimpse of him one morning, and was too fast for her to get a picture of him. But she was patient with him. She added a few treats to his bowl of food each morning in order to see if he was eating. He was defiantly eating his treats, and his food. I think he was just being shy, as this was only the second time we've hired a cat sitter. We also opted to have him stay outside the whole time we were gone. As he is mostly an outdoor cat, and the weather was mild the whole time. Once we returned home, he was in our back yard, and came running when we called him. He was in happy spirits, and glad to see us!”
“Margie was amazing pet sitter for us. We are always nervous to leave our furry family with someone else. Margie made us feel comfortable and that she truly cared for our family. She was amazing and had amazing communication and was there every time it was scheduled. I very highly recommend Margie to take care of your furry critters. Best sitter! We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much!!”
About: I have done dog bathing/grooming for five years which included cats, then moved into human medicine. But my passion for animals followed me, and I have been house/dog/cat sitting for the healthcare providers I work with and fellow medical assistant for just over two years. I have experience with more high maintenance dogs/cats including those with health issues, behavioral issues, or mobility issues. Whether it's an ornery cat or a shy cat, I respect an animal's boundaries and that has carried me well through life caring for them.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, administering basic medications, crate training, and providing lots of love and attention while owners are away. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. I’m currently working from home, so I am flexible and can stop by to check in, take them on walks, feeding, playing, whatever your fur baby needs. I can easily check in/ watch your dogs in the comfort of their own home. I find this makes the dogs more comfortable! With working from home I have the flexibility.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have been taking care of other people’s dogs/cats since I was in high school. I love all animals and currently have a puppy that I am training and teaching tricks! I am available most weekends, as I do not have to work on the weekends. I also have breaks throughout the year, which gives me lots of free time. I have been taking care of dogs/cats since I was in high school and continue to have owners that asked me to take care of their animals while they are away! My goal is to make sure all the animals needs are met and that they are happy and healthy!
“Jennifer did a great job caring for our shy young kitty. She gave him lots of attention and they were fast friends by the time it was time for us to pick him up. I will use her again.”

“Dylhan was warm and welcoming, and treated Joey with genuine care. Her home is clean and comfortable, and Joey was happy and relaxed. I won’t hesitate to go back to her if we need her to watch Joey.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for over 20 yrs. I have experience with dogs as small as a Toy Pincher to as big as a Great Dane. I have experience with most breeds of all ages from newborn puppies to the senior dog that needs help getting around. I am available for day and over night visits ensuring your dogs are never left alone proving a safe and comfortable experience.

“I will start by saying i have been a rover sitter myself for YEARS and i am very picky about who my dogs watch. Rich and his family were wonderful with my crazy boy, who was very happy when i.picked him up (a tell-tell sign he had a great time!). I was only visiting in their state and when my schedule did a flip flop Rich was so flexible and understanding it took a lot of stress off of me. Being a sitter myself I know dogs act different with different people, and Rich gave me some feedback of how Lyric was for him (like that he jumps 4' fences. He normally only jumps if we tell him or if he is trying to get to me) - and Rich amd the family handled it well. I would be more than willing to reccomend people to Rich and his family, amd when we are here visiting our family i know there is a good trusting sitter for my boy if needed.”
“First time using Beth to dog sit and she is such a sweet lady and loves dogs! Extremely responsive and flexible. She’s so knowledgeable and attentive. And for our 1.5 year old German wire haired pointer - so patient! Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve cared for and trained dogs my entire life and grew up on a farm caring for many different animals. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them, understanding their needs, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I work from home and am home most of the day, except for the occasional in-person meeting. Since I’m already caring for my toddler and our dog, your pet will fit naturally into our daily routine and won’t be left alone for long stretches I provide attentive, in-home care focused on safety, routine, and companionship. In my home, pets have access to a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, regular play and exercise, and a calm household environment. I follow each pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible and am happy to accommodate specific care instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure.
“I want to say thank you guys for watching our girls my wife and I appreciate it. And let me tell you guys. They will treat your pups like they are there own children they had so much fun and if you book with them you guys will get grate service they communicate great and if we ever wanted a picture of how they're doing they would send it and if you had any questions at all it will answer you right away you guys will not be disappointed we felt very comfortable with them and I know for sure are two girls will miss them because they had a blast over there arya and Bella both said can't wait to hang out.”
About: I have enjoyed and cared for dogs all my life and spent many years participating in Agility training and trials with my Blue Heeler/GS Pointer. I have raised puppies and tended to them throughout their long lives. I am a sucker for a white-faced senior dog! I met my husband over 30 years ago when he was a veterinarian and I was a veterinary technician. If your pet needs medication I am happy administer it for you. I am retired and I have many free days and nights for pet sitting and dog walking. I am flexible and happy to accommodate your schedule. Your dog is welcome in our home and on our furniture, and will be treated as one of our own. I have solid fencing on 3 sides of my backyard, with a metal fence on one side. (4 feet high with 3 3/4 inches between the vertical rails.) I will supervise your dog in the yard or take them outside on a long lead, as needed. I appreciate clear instructions on how you would like your pet cared for, and I will follow them respectfully. Does your dog have a favorite toy? Are there specific training guides you would like reinforced? Do they prefer to play alone or with other dogs? Just let me know what they need and I will be happy to accommodate them whether at your home or mine.
“Amy was the best! Not only did she take such great care of my dog, she also went above and beyond to allow me to drop off a little early and pick up a little late. 10/10 experience with her!!”
“Twin had a great time and was well cared for. Thanks for taking care of our pup on short notice. Appreciate all the communication as well. We'll book again next time we're in town.”
About: I’ve been there—stuck trying to figure out what to do with my pet when I couldn’t be home. It’s stressful, and honestly, it just sucks. You want to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for, but options aren’t always easy or affordable. That’s why I’m here. Let me help ease that worry. Whether it’s for a few hours or a few days, I’ll treat your pet like part of the family—because I know how much they mean to you. ** We require nighttime crate use for animals with a history of chewing, damaging personal belongings or furniture, or exhibiting challenging behavior around other pets. This helps ensure the safety of our home, children, and other animals in our care. ** Please don't ghost sitters when reaching out; just be honest. I work remotely from home, so I'm around most days and hours. Aside from outings for my kids (who absolutely love animals!) and the occasional errand, I'm usually home and available. This makes it easy for me to be flexible and responsive whenever needed. My home is pet-friendly and equipped with a fenced-in backyard, along with doggy doors for easy outdoor access—though they can be closed off if needed. I've grown up with pets and we've had a few dogs of our own, so I'm very comfortable around animals. I understand that fur gets everywhere and accidents can happen—it's all part of the experience! I like long walks just as much if not more than your pet.
About: I have 20+ years of experience caring for dogs plus cats, goats, birds and small animals. I previously owned Bon Jour Pet Sitters and managed a Veterinary Hospital for 7 years.

I also have 2 pug pups that LOVE having new dog friends! My dogs can have as little or as much interaction with your dog(s) as you would like. Your dogs are also welcome to hangout on the couch and watch tv if that’s more their speed.
“Even-keeled and easygoing, Emily was a good choice! She cared for my golden retriever for the day and my mind was at ease, knowing she’d be watched well, played with and fed by someone who knew what they were doing. Even when I had to make MULTIPLE last minute time changes in the schedule, Emily took it like a champ and without complaint! My golden seemed her normal dorky self after her stay!”

About: We're a family affair: my sister Rachel, my son, and I all help with bookings. Beyond a basic love for dogs we are also experienced with furry fosters. We have housed all types, breeds, ages, abilities of dogs/puppies for days, weeks or months at a time depending on their individual needs. Our dogs are part of the family and welcome others into the pack well. Between the three of us, someone is almost always home and available to provide individual play time, lap time, TLC, and whatever else is needed. Dogs are excellent judges of character and would know right away when meeting us that we're gentle souls with a deep love for pups of all kinds. I'm currently a full-time student and available for overnights, weekend stays, or evening check-ins. My sister works a flexible schedule and is home most days. We can come to you or your fur babies can come to us, whatever makes them most comfortable. Our dogs are part of the family and welcome to be close to us on the couch or in bed. They are friendly and welcoming to new furry friends. We have also crate trained previous pets and understand that method as well. We are flexible and will respect your wishes. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to play with pups 🐶 and havre lots of support/backup help with Rachel and Gabriel when needed. I have lots of space and ways to provide opportunities for your pup to socialize with mine or separate them for some downtime as needed with 3 levels, gates and crates. We discuss your pup's needs and develop a customized plan for each stay to support your wishes.
About: We have two high energy dogs that require regular exercise so I understand how hard it is to find a sitter who can meet that need. While your best friend is with us they can expect to get an off leash, 3-5 mile adventure every other day. I am trained and comfortable with an e collar but if your dog does not have good recall, no worries, I always carry a long line. Our home is best suited for medium to large dogs. I am a stay at home mom with 2 large dogs of my own. My dogs need regular off leash walks so you can expect your dog to get out plenty while with us. I have a large, fenced in yard. If I have to leave the house without the dogs I have spare kennels and a furbo dog camera to keep an eye on everyone.

About: There hasn’t been a time in my life where I haven’t been around a dog. I’ve been with the dogs throughout their walks of life. From puppies to seniors.

I also do light training, commands like sit/stay I have taught many times to dogs and also exercised with my own. Some dogs require more mental stimulation than others, so it’s best to keep them busy.
“Margie was amazing with our dog. She was attentive to all his needs, as well as ours. She even made homemade doggie treats.

I love and feel comfortable with all animals! I have a flexible schedule, and would love to follow whatever routines you already have with your pet. I also feel comfortable with watering plants or whatever other odd jobs might be needed. They will certainly be given lots of love while I get to spend some time with them! I have a part time job currently, but I have flexibility with my hours. I have my own vehicle and can stop by to visit your pet. I have my own large dog, and am comfortable with the routine of pet care- including daily brushing hair or teeth, feeding schedules, walks, simple training, and dog park visits or outside play time. My dog loves to just snuggle, and so I make time for that as well.

About: Animals have always naturally gravitated toward me, and caring for dogs has never felt like “work” to me I genuinely love it. I’ve helped watch and care for dogs for family and friends many times over the years, and I’m the type of person who pays close attention to their energy, comfort, and routines. I know every dog is different and I’m very patient with shy, anxious, high-energy, or affectionate dogs alike. I am very intuitive with their needs and and some people even call me a “dog whisperer”, because of how in tune I am. I love spending quality time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing outside, relaxing together, or simply making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I also understand how important updates and communication are when someone trusts you with their pet, so I always aim to be dependable, attentive, and caring. I currently work as an online life coach, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care, walks, check-ins, overnight stays, and quality time with your dog. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals so I’m able to give them lots of attention, companionship, and care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. My schedule is very open and flexible, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. I always want pets to feel safe, calm, and comfortable while in my care. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, and routine so they can feel as relaxed and at home as possible. I’m very patient and attentive, and I make sure pets have plenty of love, supervision, playtime, water, potty breaks, and a peaceful environment. I also understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your pet, so I always aim to provide updates, photos, and dependable care so owners can feel fully at ease while they’re away.🐶❤️ I’m also a very clean and hygienic person and I always treat people’s homes with respect and care. I genuinely like keeping spaces tidy, and I aim to leave your home just as clean or even cleaner than I found it.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, my family cared for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, goats, and more. At one point we even had 7 dogs at once! Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and over the years family, friends, neighbors, and now Rover clients have trusted me with their pets. I’ve been boarding and caring for dogs through Rover for over 3 years and truly love what I do. I’ve also spent time learning from professional dog trainers, which helped teach me proper handling, walking, and understanding different dog temperaments and behaviors. I’m a stay-at-home mom to my two boys, who are now a little older and very used to being around dogs. Because I’m home most of the day, your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles throughout their stay. My husband and I are both huge animal lovers, and our home is very dog-friendly and relaxed. We have a fully fenced yard, two friendly dogs, and lots of space for your pup to feel comfortable and at home. I can also crate your dog if requested or follow any specific routines you have for them. Dogs are allowed on the furniture here because we believe pets are family too! I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always do my best to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos during their stay. I’m a stay-at-home mom with two young boys who are now older and very comfortable around dogs. Because I’m home most of the day, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Your pup will get lots of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. We live a pretty home-based lifestyle and don’t travel often, so I’m able to provide a consistent and reliable environment for the dogs in my care. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and two friendly dogs who love having company. I’m experienced with different dog personalities and always do slow introductions to help everyone feel comfortable. I can crate your dog if requested and I’m happy to follow any routines, feeding schedules, or special instructions you provide. Dogs in our home are treated like family — including plenty of couch cuddles if they enjoy them! I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: For the last 7 and a half years I've been a dog trainer professionally for a local company, I love what I do im hoping I can help you and your pups meet the goals you have. Currently this is my full time job so your animals will always have my attention while in my care, typically my days start at 6 am with the first bathroom opportunity then breakfast given around 7 am after breakfast a potty walk through the neighborhood/ parks. Once back some down time/ play time depending on if your dog is here for training the first training session of the day will take place by 9 am. Lunches dropped between 12 and 1 pm unless spefic time requested. After lunch another potty break before relaxing and other training sessions. Dinner dropped to the dogs around 5 pm with a chance to potty roughly within 20 minutes of eating, around 7 pm last neighborhood walk of the night followed by last training session of the day around 8pm then relaxing and playing until bed time around 10pm with a final chance to go potty before bedtime. ( I will give other chances if unused or seems needed) For boarding dogs i have a fenced yard with a dog door so dogs may come and go when they need if i am o ly watching one at a time, no dogs outside unsupervised or with other dogs especially if they do not know each other. No nose to nose interactions with out owners permission and only in a safe structured environment. For dogs here for training the are allowed in the back yard off leash to do their business but I will also walk them on leash through the neighborhood while doing out training sessions.
About: Hi! I’m Hazel, a senior in high school preparing to head to college. My mom is Patricia and she and I and family team to provide pet services, but I am the main person. I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve had experience with all kinds of animals, including ducks, chicks, kittens, goats, pigs, and of course dogs. Right now, I have two dogs, Comanche and Chalko, who I’ve raised since they were puppies, as well as a kitten I helped bottle-feed after it was found at a very young age. Taking care of them has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand each animal’s unique personality and needs. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs a fun, energetic walk, lots of attention and playtime, or just someone to make them feel safe and loved while you’re away, I’m here to help. You can trust that your pet will be in caring, reliable hands with me! I am at work from 8-4 generally, but have flexibility, and available outside of those hours. My daughters have other availability during the day around class schedules. I am home and available all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays and most holidays. I am home all day for full weeks during Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and Spring Break. I am home during summer months. I take dogs who are kennel trained and do not allow pets on furniture. I match my care to your loved companion's individual needs. Some dogs love being outside and running around, some love to lay on a dog bed by the fire. I understand some pets are older and need a gentle approach and others are high energy and need lots of movement and interaction. I take careful care that your pet is secured and not able to leave the property. I have a huge fenced yard and a field with ample space which allows your pet to in pet heaven! Its a fun time!

I am available most weekends, as I do not have to work on the weekends. I also have breaks throughout the year, which gives me lots of free time. I have been taking care of dogs/cats since I was in high school and continue to have owners that asked me to take care of their animals while they are away! My goal is to make sure all the animals needs are met and that they are happy and healthy!

“We love leaving our 2 furries, Maggie & Millie, with Colby & Dave. When we found out Dave slept on the couch with one of his furry guests who was having a sad night without his mom & dad we knew we found "real" dog lovers. We heard from them daily with pictures & reports. So happy to have them so close by!!”
“Meghan is amazing. She sent me the cutest pictures and kept me in the loop with respect to my dog's stay. My golden retriever had the time of her life and personal attention! With the big beautiful backyard, the dogs are in heaven!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Allison is an absolute gem 10/10, would trust her with Shiloh (and my peace of mind) again in a heartbeat! I was nervous leaving my sweet, timid girl Shiloh for the first time in years because of her separation anxiety, but Allison made the entire experience stress-free and actually joyful. From the moment we met, her calm energy and genuine love for dogs put both Shiloh and me at ease. She asked all the right questions, really listened to Shiloh’s quirks, and followed her routine to the letter. While I was away, Allison sent the most wonderful updates and a photo of Shiloh snuggling on the couch with her. You could tell Shiloh felt completely safe and loved. Shiloh clearly adores Allison and her sweet family and I can’t thank her enough for giving me total peace of mind on my trip. If you have a shy or anxious pup, Allison is the caregiver you’ve been looking for. She’s patient, attentive, communicative, and truly exceptional. We’re already looking forward to booking her again! Thank you, Allison, for loving Shiloh like your own! 🐾❤️”
“Amy was absolutely awesome to our dog! We left him with her while we went to a lake resort for the weekend and when we picked him up we could tell he had a great time.”
“Loved all the pictures of Bernie! Bernie was acting a bit weird right before we left. Jessica kept an eye on Bernie and reported on how he was doing (he was fine!). We appreciate the easy pick up and drop off and smooth communication. This is our 2nd time having Jessica and John watch Bernie and we would absolutely have them watch Bernie again. Thank you!”
“Karen is the most amazing pet lover! She took fabulous care of Emmie! We felt very confident in having her take care of our dog. They both hit it off when we first met! Daily we received a picture or a video complete with details about how well it was going! We highly recommend Karen! She included a sweet picture magnet of our dog for our fridge at home!”
“We are so happy with our experience using Haley for boarding! She has a cute dog that got along well with ours. She communicated promptly with us and sent lots of pictures.”
“We love Brieanna! She takes great care of Gunther and sends pictures of him playing and napping. We are reassured that he is well taken cared of when we can’t take him with us. Brieanna is our number one choice for a caretaker for Gunther.”
“Vanessa and her husband were great! They provided daily updates with pictures and we’re always responsive throughout the process. I’d definitely recommend them to look after your pups!”
“Amanda is a terrific sitter. She takes the very best care of "the boys". I do not know what we would do without her. She gives them their meds,reports any issues right away and always gives lots of love. They are safe and secure at her home. I highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! I’m a proud pet lover, professional belly-rub provider, and now—finally—the one doing the pet sitting instead of needing it. As someone who’s relied on amazing pet sitters in the past, I know how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you trust (and who will send you way too many photos). I’m excited to return the favor and be that person for you. I have experience with pets of all personalities—from zoomie champions to professional nappers—and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine down to the last treat and tummy rub. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I take my job seriously… even if your pet doesn’t. Your pet will be safe, happy, and probably a little spoiled—because let’s be honest, they deserve it. I am a stay at home mom with a dog of my own. We go on daily walks as well as hang out in our fenced yard. I have a fully fenced yard for potty breaks, but your pups will always be supervised if outside for longer than just a quick bathroom trip. Inside, your dog is welcome wherever they are comfortable!
“I booked Tasha for my dog Milo and had a great experience! You can tell Tasha cares for her clients (and their owners). I got many updates thoroughout the day including pictures! I would definitely use Tasha again. I especially loved the report card after we got back from our trip. It’s nice to know that I didn’t have to worry about Milo during our vacation. He was well taken care of, highly recommend Tasha.”
“Gabriel is great with our husky, she is super sweet and understands the breed very well! We always get sweet updates about how our dog is doing, it eases our mind when traveling to know our beloved pup is receiving excellent care at "camp" 😊 we use her every time we travel!”
“When we needed a sitter for our pup at the last minute, Cali and her family were there to help. I was so nervous leaving our pup with others, as hes never been away from us longer than a day. But Odin was treated like family the second he walked in the door and I instantly knew he would be fine. I loved that I got picture updates of how he was doing and could see just how much fun he was having! If ever I need a sitter again, I will certainly be back!”
