“Our dog Benji stayed with Wendy for 8 days while we were away and I would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs. She is super responsive, organized, and professional. Her kennel facilities are clean and well kept. She clearly loves animals and took great care of our dog. Wendy is super easy to work with and willing to go above and beyond when needed. I would not hesitate to rebook with her in the future!”
“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!”
“We are so pleased with the attention and love that Kim and Dave have given to our dog. I am not certain that she missed us very much. She felt right at home within minutes of meeting them prior to being boarded there. It was so wonderful to feel secure leaving her with people that truly care about her comfort and happiness. They are great with sharing photos and responding to messages and sharing daily photos too. We will be using them again for future needs.”
About: My father taught me about life by giving me pets since I was able to walk. Animals are a gift and should be treated like they are family. I work full time, but I still have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Having a small farm myself, my kids, who are older, pitch in to give animals all the care and love they need! I have a fenced in property and enclosed kennels for exercise. I also enjoy taking them on walks and playing ball with them outside. Any specific requests will try to be honored…
“Suzanne and her family took great care of my timid Brittany. We had never been separated before, and it was only the 2nd time in her 6 years of life that she spent nights away from home. Suzanne's son spent a lot of time with her, coaxing her into trusting him and feeling safe with the new situation. Suzanne sent me pictures and text updates, letting me know how my dog was doing at settling in with them. By the time I returned from my trip, Jolie was feeling at home with Suzanne and her family. My ability to enjoy my vacation with my family was made possible by the care and attentiveness Suzanne focused on my dog. I would definitely board Jolie with Suzanne again. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a good, caring home environment for their dog when they have to leave them for a while.”
“Mikey took great care of our bernedoodle, Mocha. Mocha was walked & cared for like a member of Mikey’s family. Mikey sent pictures & video updates of Mocha during her stay. I would highly recommend Mikey to care for your dog!”
“Another great stay with Ashley! Her daily updates with photos, videos, and stories are so nice. It makes such a difference to know that she and her sweet family are loving on my pup when I can’t.”
“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!”

“Excellent facility without the sterile caged setting found at many kennels. Very personalized care. Grooming and trimming with bath so appreciated. Lots of run time in large, secured yards. Socialization with their pets…l find so helpful. Thank you, Tracy, for sharing your care for my pups!”
“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.”

“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.”
“Miriam was absolutely wonderful with my dog Daisy. Miriam and her entire family worked around Daisy’s special needs and gave her the best time ever. I’m pretty sure Daisy did not want to return home after spending 3 days in doggy heaven with Miriam.”

Cat caregivers near you - Thama
About: I've taken care of animals since I was young and have enjoyed helping take care of them in different ways. I have also had some pets of my own and currently have two dogs that I have trained myself from when they were puppies. I like taking dogs on walks and playing with them as well. My dogs love to play ball so we do that at least once a day along with a walk or two. I currently do not have a job so I am available most days and times during the week. The only day I'm not usually available is Saturday but I can make that work with enough notice ahead of time. I am very loving and efficient when taking care of animals. I am trustworthy and reliable and treat other's animals as if they were my own. I will have a set schedule of feeding, play time, walks, and rest throughout the day like I do with my own dogs.
About: Cats aren't just "easier" than dogs—they're complex, perceptive creatures who notice everything, especially when their routine is disrupted. My approach to cat care is rooted in understanding that cats thrive on consistency, respect for their boundaries, and someone who actually pays attention to their subtle communication. I've cared for cats of all personalities over the past 13 years—from the social butterflies who greet you at the door to the shy ones who need days to warm up, and everything in between. What sets me apart is that I don't rush the relationship. I let cats come to me on their terms, and I've learned to read their body language so well that I can tell when a "hiding" cat is stressed versus just observing, or when a change in litter box habits signals something more serious. What I bring to cat care: ✓ Medication administration – pills, liquids, injections, subcutaneous fluids, eye drops, ear medications ✓ Special dietary needs – timed feedings, prescription diets, food puzzles, picky eaters ✓ Litter box expertise – yes, I actually care about litter boxes! Multiple boxes, special substrates, and monitoring for health changes ✓ Senior cat care – arthritis management, kidney disease support, comfort-focused care ✓ Shy or anxious cats – patient, calm approach that respects their need for space ✓ Medical monitoring – recognizing early signs of illness, URI symptoms, behavioral changes that indicate pain ✓ Multi-cat households – managing dynamics, separate feeding schedules, preventing resource guarding ✓ Interactive play sessions – not just food and water; I engage cats with play appropriate to their age and energy ✓ Grooming assistance – brushing long-haired cats, nail trims if your cat tolerates it I treat your home with respect—plants watered, mail collected, and your cat's environment kept exactly as they like it. You'll get regular updates (including photos if your cat cooperates!) so you know they're content and cared for. If you have a cat who needs more than just someone to "dump food and go," let's talk.
“Abby took fantastic care of my senior cat! What a lifesaver as I just moved to the area. She was very sweet and loving with him, kept in close touch and sent daily pictures and videos, and was completely trustworthy. She will be my first call if I need help again!”
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.
About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was 13, from farm animals to dogs and cats. Many neighbors, family friends and colleagues have trusted me to do quick visits, daytime walks, nightly check ins and even monthly stays. I have experience that varies from training the young ones, to giving the elders lots of love, attention and even medications when needed. I am also very willing to do baths if/when needed! I currently have a part-time job that starts at 6 and ends at 12 Monday and Tuesday, so I would have plenty of time to do any afternoon visits and even weekly stays. I am very flexible and can work around the perfect schedule with you! I am very accommodating when it comes to your fur babies needs. If I’m staying in your home, I will take all animals outside every 2-3 hours to play or go on walks. If stated in instructions, I can also take dogs to a dog park or on car rides when I go to the store. If there is a certain route for walks to take, I will also do that. Anything you’d like, I can do!
About: I got my first pet, a hamster, when i was six! I followed up with a Guinea pig. When i turned 11, i got my first cat Patience. All of these pets i fully cared for, and did chores in order to pay for supplies. This is what fueled my love for pets! When i turned 15, i got my first dog. Sadly he passed away from illness, but it was a lesson learned on how to care for special needs dogs. My cat Patience died when i was 20 at the age of 9. That sparked me to get a dog not long after (since my cat never got along with the dog i had, i felt it best to give her a single pet home). Ive spent the last two years training Rollo and learning everything i can about making his time here special! He’s made my love for animals deepen, causing me to want to get further involved in animals as a part of my every day life! I hope to one day become a dog trainer, and specialize in obedient house pets! Im currently working a day job, but have too much time on my hands! I am available weekdays after 4, and all day long on weekends! I care for all animals like they are my own. Pets live shorter lives than us, so its my goal to make their lives the best they can be! I love going on walks with my dog, and playing fetch at the dog park! I always make sure my clients pet gets along well with mine if i plan on having him tag along! Its a great way to socialize the pets, and it gives them something to look forward to!
About: Cats are personally my favorite animals, so I'll take on kitty clients like they are my own. I administer medications, provide playtime, and most importantly, snuggle them as much as possible (so long as the cat tolerates it). I am quite organized and I like to keep the area as clean as possible for the kitties, since I know they like to stay clean as well.
About: So happy to take your dog where they want to go! I’ve been a dog sitter since I can remember & have sat in on multiple dog trainings. I love to be outside and live in a very dog friendly area! I’m flexible and easy going, don’t hesitate to reach out 😊 I’m currently working part time remote and have been wanting to find something to fill my time, what better than dog sitting? I am happy to stay in contact for life, I am reliable and will be very communicative. I have a very open schedule! I always follow pet owners rules. I have a large backyard for your pet and also love to get in a lot of leash walks in a day. I do not own my own pet so yours will get all my attention. Also live in a non-smoker home.

About: I've been taking care of dogs of every kind since i was 7 years old. I also started my own dog walking business in the 6th grade walking neighbors, family, and friends dogs. As well as training my own dogs with potty training skills and adaptability. I also do well with un-trained dogs who are combative and temperamental by having completed a dog school training class. Your cherished pet will be handled with care, love, and in the best hands possible. I am open to same day bookings and will also be able to show via phone or in person the place where the onboarding will be held. All services are provided, i will always begin to ask for any diet restrictions, bad habits, and skin conditions. For while in my care i will be feeding, playing, walking, and more than likely bathing your pet so i want to be able to make sure your beloved family pet is well taken care of and comfortable while in my care.
“Tierra was fantastic with my kitty!! He needed an emergency trip to the vet at one point, and Tierra took him and then spent extra time with him after. Super attentive and on top of things.”
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! So if there are little things that need to be done I can do it if asked. I am very responsible. I am an accounting major, so I am very detail oriented, precise, and responsible in anything that I do 😉 About me: I am 21 years old and currently enrolled at the University of Utah. But, I live in California now with my parents finishing my last year of school online! I am going to be a lease accountant when I graduate. Because I can do everything from my computer, I have a ton of time for your pet. I also, have 3 pets (2 dogs 1 cat) but they are technically my parents, so I can make your pets my priority! I am currently finishing up my senior year of college doing online classes, and when I graduate I already have a work from home job lined up. So, I have a lot of spare time to care for your pet! 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.

“Mikey took great care if Roxy while our family enjoyed the day at Silverwood. Great big fenced in area for dogs to roam and play. A little over 15 minutes from the park. Highly recommend!”
About: I LOVE animals! Dogs, cats, goats, horses, rabbits, basically all of the furry friends! We've had dogs and cats my whole life (from puppies and kittens to grumpy old men dogs). I've taken care of many of my friends and families dogs in my home and in their homes. Summer hours can vary but someone is generally home to give pets plenty of attention and potty breaks. I’m working 4 nights a week while my husband works 5 days a week and my 12 year old kiddo is on summer break. I have six acres with trails for walking your dogs! I have an old, friendly dog plus two dog savvy cats. I do not have a fenced area but will leash walk the dogs (or no leash at owners request). I have hard wood floors and stairs that may not be ideal for tripods or aging senior dogs (unless they’re used to that). I no longer have a kennel, but if you bring one and want your dog kenneled I can do that. Your pup will enjoy lots of pets, snuggles, play time both indoors and outdoors and of course treats (as approved by pet parents)!
About: Over the last 5 years, I have taken care of friends’ dogs and have done a bit on Rover as well. I’ve had my own fur ball for over 3 years now and he is my world. I love the connection and love we can share with dogs, no matter the shape, size, breed, or gender. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! When I do work, I don’t start until 3pm so we’ll have the whole morning. Along with dog-sitting, I have done a lot of house cleaning in the past so I know how to leave a house better off than I found it. I also have a super friendly border collie/lab mix that loves to play with other dogs!

“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 taken care of all pets of all ages since I was a child. I have experience with puppies to seniors with special needs. I am currently a self employed dog groomer and have 4 dogs of my own. I train and show an Old English Sheepdog. I am flexible so fitting in visits and walks is super easy to do! I have experience with training and dog behaviors. I can crate my pets or yours if needed. I have split fenced backyard and a large outdoor kennel. I believe in positive reinforcement and boundaries. I respect dog behaviors and special needs.
“Abbie loved our dog like she was her own! Gave her a an action packed day and trained and loved her up! Communication was excellent. Pick up and drop off super flexible. Thank you Abbie!”
“Lucille was wonderful to our little puppy Laila. She was very happy when I picked her up. This was first time we ever left her with a sitter and we believe we made an excellent choice with Lucille. We will absolutely use her again.”
About: I've had a love for animals since I was a kid and have previously fostered for the animal shelters because it brings me joy. I have 2 small fur babies of my own and I babysit my daughters miniature Schnauzer puppy during the week days. I work from home so my schedule is relatively open. I'm active so we enjoy walks and playing on our 12 acre property (during the summer). Our fur babies are never left unattended and we do keep them on leashes when they go outside on our property. During the winter I spend time spoiling our fur babies with lots of love, snuggles and indoor play time. I have 2 friendly small dogs (Arlo and Aveena) who love play dates. Our home is close to walking trails and we have plenty room for indoor activities.
“Madison was wonderful! From the moment we met her, we could tell our dog was in great hands. She has such a welcoming, genuine, and caring personality, and it was clear she truly loves dogs. She took amazing care of our dog and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We feel very lucky to have found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic dog sitter. 🐾”
“Great care for my energetic dog, sometimes hard to manage, dog! Erik sent me updates throughout the visit. He treated my dog as if it was his own in a very good way. I especially appreciated that he took my pup with him to the local coffee shop and socialized him a bit. Definitely recommend!!!”
“Lindsey and Leland were so nice towards us and our 4 month old puppy. It was our first time using Rover so we were a bit nervous but they made us feel beyond comfortable. Definitely will be reaching out when we need our pup watched again! Thank you!!”
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!
“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.”

“Thank you, Travis and your family, for taking care of Henry and Lucca. You always communicate promptly and take great care of them. We are thankful to find someone in the area who we feel certain will take care of our boys.”
“We had a great experience with Hannah and her family! She was extremely flexible on drop off/pick up, sent updates and sent some great pics of Maggie (Boxer) throughout the day! Would highly recommend and we will definitely use her again if we are in the Northern Idaho/Eastern Washington area.”

About: Hi! I’m a college student based in Dover, also serving the Sandpoint area. I’ve grown up around dogs and have had my own for several years, so I’m very familiar with daily care like walks, feeding, and maintaining routine.

About: Over the last 5 years, I have taken care of friends’ dogs and have done a bit on Rover as well. I’ve had my own fur ball for over 3 years now and he is my world. I love the connection and love we can share with dogs, no matter the shape, size, breed, or gender. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! When I do work, I don’t start until 3pm so we’ll have the whole morning. Along with dog-sitting, I have done a lot of house cleaning in the past so I know how to leave a house better off than I found it. I also have a super friendly border collie/lab mix that loves to play with other dogs!
About: Hi pet parents 👋 A little bit about me - I grew up in Texas and have years of experience with caring for animals. I love spending time outdoors. You can find me snowboarding, paddle boarding, hiking, camping or rock climbing. 🧗 I work remotely and my schedule is flexible. I take my dog on 3 walks a day. In the mornings we take a 4 mile walk and are super active on the weekends going swimming and hiking. Multiples walks a day. I enjoy taking mine to the dog park and on hikes. We also don’t mind being lazy and cuddling on the couch :)
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’ve been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was 13, from farm animals to dogs and cats. Many neighbors, family friends and colleagues have trusted me to do quick visits, daytime walks, nightly check ins and even monthly stays. I have experience that varies from training the young ones, to giving the elders lots of love, attention and even medications when needed. I am also very willing to do baths if/when needed! I currently have a part-time job that starts at 6 and ends at 12 Monday and Tuesday, so I would have plenty of time to do any afternoon visits and even weekly stays. I am very flexible and can work around the perfect schedule with you! I am very accommodating when it comes to your fur babies needs. If I’m staying in your home, I will take all animals outside every 2-3 hours to play or go on walks. If stated in instructions, I can also take dogs to a dog park or on car rides when I go to the store. If there is a certain route for walks to take, I will also do that. Anything you’d like, I can do!
About: I love all animals and all breeds. Since I was young I have been caring for and around numerous types and breeds of animals. I have learned that much like people every dog, cat, lizard, etc has its own personality and needs. Im ready and willing to give your pets the best care and love imaginable while you're away. Im not afraid of difficult animals with harder temperaments. Im patient and want to be your pets new friend. This will be one of the main ways I earn money in parallel with Uber eats. If I take a pet sit job it will be prioritized over UberEats. My days and nights are pretty open. Im a single father of an almost 3 year old little girl. She loves animals too and if your fur baby is ok with kids she would love to play as well. I will follow all stipulations and requests for your pet to help keep their routine and keep them comfy and happy. I have a decent sized property. Some fenced. Most open. We are out in chattaroy so not much of the city by us. If your pets like other dogs/animals we do have 3 dogs that regularly visit the property. They all 3 are extremely friendly and playful. As I said above I will follow all regimens and requests by owner to keep your pets happy and comfortable in their routine.
About: I have personally owned several dogs and trained dogs since I was a child. From puppies to adult dogs. Cattle dogs do Dobermans. I feel that I have a way of communicating with and understanding what dogs needs. I'm currently working part time. After next week I'm available most any day of the week. I am able to travel to most locations in the Phoenix metro area. I have a dog yard and plenty of safe place to walk dogs. I understand what the needs are for dogs such as taking them out and feeding them. Making sure they have a peaceful environment.
About: I've been taking care of dogs of every kind since i was 7 years old. I also started my own dog walking business in the 6th grade walking neighbors, family, and friends dogs. As well as training my own dogs with potty training skills and adaptability. I also do well with un-trained dogs who are combative and temperamental by having completed a dog school training class. Your cherished pet will be handled with care, love, and in the best hands possible. I am open to same day bookings and will also be able to show via phone or in person the place where the onboarding will be held. All services are provided, i will always begin to ask for any diet restrictions, bad habits, and skin conditions. For while in my care i will be feeding, playing, walking, and more than likely bathing your pet so i want to be able to make sure your beloved family pet is well taken care of and comfortable while in my care.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets and been around pets since as long as I can remember. From helping my mom fix up wounds on animals, to helping my cat give birth at the age of 6. Pets aren’t just animals to me, they’re a part of the family and I wish to meet new faces. I am 22yrs old, I work part time at the Roxy in Newport. I currently have one kitty, he’s about two and half yrs old and his name is Snape (from Harry Potter). I also have two puppy’s from the same litter that were born in August, their names are Buster and Bandit. I’ve been doing rover for a few years now, but just recently moved to Cusick a little over a year ago. I’ve also worked at a daycare and babysat for several families. I love all animals, big or small. I can also care for birds or reptiles, I don’t have a whole lot of experience but I’ve looked after birds a couple times in the past, and I have family members with reptiles. I would love to take care and meet any pet of yours! I have a very open schedule, I currently work Saturday and Sunday part time so I’m pretty flexible and will have plenty of time to play with your pets. I am looking forward to it!! I can walk your dog, take him/her to the dog park, I’m also able to stay in house to watch over pets such as cats/dogs as well.
About: I'm quite versatile and can adapt to stressful situations easily, should they arise. I have experience raising my own pets, helping raise others, and training pets. I can provide care for pets of any size, species, and age. I administer medications, provide ample playtime and exercise, and most importantly, snuggle to the heart's content (so long as your pet tolerates it). I've sat in the past for birds, lizards, dogs, cats, and fish, and I'll love your animals nearly as much as you do! I'm quite passionate about keeping spaces clean and comfortable for the pets as well, as I am quite organized and know that nobody wants to work with a disorganized sitter. Pet sitting is my full-time occupation as of right now, so I can be there for your pets whenever they need it. I do have a busy schedule, but I will always ensure that your animals come first and I can be with them as often as they need it. I always ensure that pets are treated as well as the humans in the household. I like to sleep and snuggle with pets, take them where I go as much as is permitted, and play with them outside as often as possible. I am not quick to force animals to spend time with me, I always let them have the choice to approach me first, but if they adjust quickly and enjoy my company, I really lay on the love.

“Our dog Benji stayed with Wendy for 8 days while we were away and I would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs. She is super responsive, organized, and professional. Her kennel facilities are clean and well kept. She clearly loves animals and took great care of our dog. Wendy is super easy to work with and willing to go above and beyond when needed. I would not hesitate to rebook with her in the future!”
“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!”
About: My father taught me about life by giving me pets since I was able to walk. Animals are a gift and should be treated like they are family. I work full time, but I still have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Having a small farm myself, my kids, who are older, pitch in to give animals all the care and love they need! I have a fenced in property and enclosed kennels for exercise. I also enjoy taking them on walks and playing ball with them outside. Any specific requests will try to be honored…
“Suzanne and her family took great care of my timid Brittany. We had never been separated before, and it was only the 2nd time in her 6 years of life that she spent nights away from home. Suzanne's son spent a lot of time with her, coaxing her into trusting him and feeling safe with the new situation. Suzanne sent me pictures and text updates, letting me know how my dog was doing at settling in with them. By the time I returned from my trip, Jolie was feeling at home with Suzanne and her family. My ability to enjoy my vacation with my family was made possible by the care and attentiveness Suzanne focused on my dog. I would definitely board Jolie with Suzanne again. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a good, caring home environment for their dog when they have to leave them for a while.”
“Mikey took great care of our bernedoodle, Mocha. Mocha was walked & cared for like a member of Mikey’s family. Mikey sent pictures & video updates of Mocha during her stay. I would highly recommend Mikey to care for your dog!”
“Another great stay with Ashley! Her daily updates with photos, videos, and stories are so nice. It makes such a difference to know that she and her sweet family are loving on my pup when I can’t.”
“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!”
“Excellent facility without the sterile caged setting found at many kennels. Very personalized care. Grooming and trimming with bath so appreciated. Lots of run time in large, secured yards. Socialization with their pets…l find so helpful. Thank you, Tracy, for sharing your care for my pups!”
“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.”

I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where pets feel happy and cared for while their owners are away.
“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.
