Personalized care for your dog or cat - Benson
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Benson
“We needed someone to board our cat for a month while we waited for our apartment to become available. Amanda came and picked out boy up, extended his stay when we needed, and dropped him off for us! We can’t thank you enough.”
“Ruby and Leia loved their time with Brittany and family (even the kitties!)! We enjoyed working with Brittany and appreciated all the updates throughout our dog(s) week long stay. She sent us updates when Ruby was a little sick and helped reassure us that she was doing better! She sent photos and videos throughout the week to let us know they were doing well and we so appreciated that! We plan to reach out to Brittany for our future needs.”
“Keandra went above and beyond to make sure my dog had a good time. She also was very flexible with pickup/drop off times which was helpful since I had a flight early in the morning. She also gave my dog a free shower and made sure he got plenty of exercise and play time with her dogs. 100% would recommend Keandra”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Hailey! Our dog stayed with her for two weeks and had an absolutely amazing time. He felt right at home on her beautiful, spacious property, and it was clear from the start that Hailey truly loves animals. Our pup adored her! Hailey kept us updated with daily photos and great communication, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Knowing he was in such caring and capable hands made all the difference. We’re so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!”
“I’m so glad that we found Melanie. My senior Chihuahua is picky about who watches her, and Melanie was a great fit!! She walked my dog everyday and spoiled her with endless trips to the back yard. Pixie came home with a doggie report card! I’m booking with Melanie again so I know my dog is cared for comfortably the next time I’m away.”
“Nathan, Jacqueline and their children, along with their "pup" Charlie, were the most welcoming hosts we could have hoped for! Our Levi and Junior are admittedly on the higher-maintainence side and their family took it all in stride. We met with them prior to committing to the hosting in order to make sure the dogs were compatible and to discuss Levi and Jr's needs. It was a very comfortable and easy meeting. We left the initial meeting feeling very comfortable. When the time came to leave our fur babies, Nathan reassured us our pups would be fine. While we were away, we received daily updates with pictures that showed our pups were doing fine and having fun ! The kids took them for walks, and Jr found a new friend in their pup Charlie. When we came to pick them up, they were healthy and happy. It was wonderful to be able to go on vacation knowing Levi and Jr were in good hands. We would definitely recommend Nathan and Jacqueline and their family to host the dogs of friends and family without reservation! If we need to leave our pups again, we would would not hesitate to leave them with Nathan and Jacqueline (if they would agree, if course)! THANK YOU, E. FAMILY, for your wonderful care of Levi and Junior!”
“What a great family. They treated our dog like he was one of their own. Had no problem with our dogs ailments and can definitely handle the Pitbull breed and knew exactly what our dog needed. They kept in touch, and sent us good pictures”
“Jennifer was great!! She watched our 7 m/o Lab for the weekend and was very communicative and sent lots of pictures/videos. Would 100% recommend her to anyone and we will use her again if needed! Thank you Jennifer!!”
“Diana is so kind and knowledgeable. My dogs were perfectly at home in her care. She gave us tons of photos, videos, and updates while we were gone and spoiled them with lots of walks. We will definitely book with her every time we travel from now on.”
“Our dogs Ozzie and Marley had a great time at Alyssa’s home! They were able to play in her fenced in backyard with her other dogs/fosters. Alyssa sent us photos/ video updates which were awesome! Will definitely use her services again and recommend her :)”
“Great customer service, prompt and friendly communications, and wonderful relationship with my Dog! I have now become a repeat customer because of these facts. Highly recommend.”
“Amy and her Family were great for ours dogs. They provide daily updates and pictures of them. it made my wife and I very happy to see them well taken care of. I would highly recommend Amy for your Dog sitting needs”
About: I have been around dogs of my own and others for my entire 38 years of life. I grew up with having at least 3 dogs at once, then when out on my own for the last 10+ years, have lived with and spoiled at least 2 dogs at a time. I currently have 2 fur kids of my own, who are very loved and spoiled. That same kind of care would translate to any dogs I care for. I'm currently working part time while studying, so I will have plenty of time for your pups! I work 3 varying days a week currently, from about 9am-5pm. A lot of time is spent at home with my own pups, and that would translate to yours. I have a good sized fenced in yard, and can provide a separate space, crating or whatever is needed between your and my dogs! I also keep the back part of my house separate.
“Jocelyn took great care of our dog. She worked with us easily and communicated with us about how our girl was doing and sent pictures. It was great to know she was so loved when we were traveling. I would recommend her as a care taker for all your pups.”
“Having peace of mind knowing your little family is always ok when you’re needing someone who knows what you need for you to be able to leave and never have a second thought about they’re safety and comfort is important and number 1 to all those involved and invested in your life that’s important!!”
“Marley was a little nervous for the first night and had an upset stomach but Amber promptly told me and it was all taken care of and she enjoyed the rest of the weekend.”
About: I’m that person that will stop mid conversation & point out when I see a cute dog in public. I’ve always loved dogs and have had so much experience over the years. You can trust i’ll treat your pet like my own ❤️ I only work a couple days a week, usually the weekend and they aren’t long hours so I am available for any scheduling you can throw at me! I can usually try to make your request fit into my day somehow. I’ve done things ranging from 5 min potty breaks, multiple daily visits, & long walks. Whatever you need I can make happen. Don’t be afraid to ask 😁
“Rae, David, and Winston were fantastic hosts for our doggo. Rae was easy to communicate with and she and David were very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely use them again!”

“Amanda did an excellent job taking care of our family. I was forced to go out of the country for an unknown amount of time and she was available to take care of them as long as I needed. She is also a local which made it convenient for both of us and I am always happy to support our local neighborhood. Amanda was on time and followed all of the instructions that were provided to her. If you are considering hiring her, know that she is honest and trustworthy and will give your family members the love they deserve. Thank you so much Amanda!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleanup, and administering basic medications when needed. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being. I work full time for USPS as a mail carrier. I have two days off each week. I’m always off Sundays. Once I’m off work usually around 5/6pm I’m free! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment in my home, free of hazards and closely supervised at all times. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special requirements. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine to help them feel secure and stress-free. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and I provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and genuine care, and I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet—and your home—in someone else’s hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and dependable experience for both you and your pet.
“Emily and her family are awesome and took great care of my Kobe Bean while I was away. Loved the pictures and videos she sent daily. I would definitely recommend her and let her watch Kobe anytime! ☺️☺️”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover since I was little. Throughout college I have done all sorts of pet/house sitting for friends, family, coworkers etc. I have house sat for a family friend that required feeding and watering horses, milking goats, reptile care, rabbit cleaning care, medicating cats/dogs if needed, you name it. I currently have a Corn Snake, a Western Plains Hognose Snake as well as a Crested Gecko. I have been a Veterinary Receptionist for over 5 and a half years now. I was also an Animal Keeper for about a year with native Illinois Wildlife (including black bears, cougars & bobcats). I am currently transitioning to being a Veterinary Assistant so I am gaining new skills weekly! Currently working a max of 30 hours at my day job as a Veterinary Assistant but recently have been working less. Typically I have Sundays and Wednesdays off during the week but sometimes get another random week day off depending on how busy we are at the clinic. My shifts can vary from 8am to 2pm; 8am to 4pm; 9am to 3pm; 9am to 5pm or even 8am to 6:30pm. The earlier I’m off during the day I am able to help after that too. Your home is their home. I will cater to your pet based on what they like or need. If they just need someone to keep them company I’m there. I will treat your space with respect and follow any instructions given. My pets are family and are treated as such so the same would go for your kiddos.
“Thank you so much Kelly! My husband and I had a worry free weekend away knowing our dogs were well taken care of with Kelly. She went above and beyond for our girls and seeing pictures and getting updates was amazing!”
About: Hello! I have been pet sitting for friends and family for the past 3 years now and have finally decided to meet more animals! I am so excited to meet your fluffy (or non-fluffy) friends! I start school August 15, so until then I am free to take care of your pet at anytime of the day! I will typically try to DoorDash to make some extra cash, but will stop every couple of hours to check on your friend! I treat every home and pet like my own — that means following your routines closely and communicating with you along the way so you're never left wondering how things are going. For drop-in visits, I stick to the schedule you set for feeding, medication, and fresh water, and I always do a walk-through to make sure everything's secure before I leave. I'll bring in mail/packages and rotate lights if that's part of the ask. For dog walks, I keep to your dog's normal route and pace unless you tell me otherwise, always leash up before opening any doors, and clean up after them every time. I pay close attention to their body language, especially around other dogs or people, and I'll never push a walk if it's too hot, too cold, or your dog seems off that day. For overnight house sitting, I keep your pet's routine as close to normal as possible — same feeding times, same bedtime habits, same amount of attention and play. I treat your home with respect (locking up, keeping things tidy, not having guests over) and I check in with updates so you can relax while you're away. Across all of it: I send photo/video updates, I'm comfortable with basic medication administration (pills, drops, insulin if trained), and if anything seems off with your pet's health or behavior, I contact you and the vet right away rather than guessing.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Benson
“Kayla was so friendly and super accommodating when we had to pick up a bit late due to car issues. She sent texts and photos and we felt very comfortable knowing Sophie was not caged up in a kennel while we enjoyed our time on the Verde Canyon Railroad!”
“Khanh was very nice. She paid close attention to Casper and took good care of him. She kept me updated on his stay and took plenty of pictures to show me he was okay. I really appreciate her care.”
About: Fur babies are my life … No literally! 🤗Located in GRIDLEY- We offer Pickup/Dropoff services! I’m a Veterinarian Assistant so caring for your pet is literally what I do, what I love.🥰 I do pick ups and drop offs !! I work in VETMED at a local Veterinary clinic part time . So that gives me tons of extra time during the week. I also do drop in during my work day as well. !! I have a fenced in yard and a very nice fur baby to keep your fur baby company. I do also have created if needed.
“Penny had THE best time. She made friends with a kitten. ❤️ Amanda is sweet, welcoming and clearly loves animals. Throughout the day I received pictures which brought me enormous relief from my anxiety which was unwarranted. We will certainly be back for not just a vacation already booked with Amanda, but daycare says as well. Thanks Amanda for loving our Penny like we do and welcoming her into your home!”
About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. As a child, I had pet sheep, rabbits, dogs, cats, and cows. As an adult, I have always had cats. My 20 year old long hair cat just passed away in January. It was heartbreaking. I miss him dearly. We loved our guy so much. In his last 5 yrs, I spent many hours catering to his elderly issues. Medications and night yowling were issues that I happily took care of as he lived out his twilight years. I have a soft spot for all animals as they go through all stages of life :) I work from home and set my own hours, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am open to many kinds of arrangements- one time sitting, a weekly routine, daily walks, weekends, etc. I am extremely fortunate to have a flexible schedule. My teen daughter and I live in a large 4 bedroom home, so we have tons of space to accommodate furry friends who need company. We do not have a fenced in yard, but our neighborhood is great for long walks. Our neighborhood has trails through the woods and a home owner’s association that maintains the trails. We have lots of fun walking the trails. I am an avid jogger/walker. I go out everyday, regardless of the weather. I have a very active lifestyle! We recently adopted a cat, but he stays in his own area on a different level of the house. He has claimed my daughter as his and lives in her room. When dogs come to stay with us, he typically stays in his room & pups never see him, although he has made friends with some of our regularly visiting pups 😊 I have a very flexible work schedule. When I do have to be away from home for work, I am gone about 2-3 hrs at a time. My daughter is at home often and also helps with pups. She is great with animals! We both like to take frequent walks throughout the day! In my home, I have a large open floor plan with tons of windows. During the day, I like to have pups next to me in my office, but some like to lay in prime viewing area of all the windows.
“Benny had a wonderful stay with Melanie! She as super communicative and treated Benny as if he were her own. Wonderful stay. Her home is super dog friendly!! Thank you !!”
“Peggy is exactly the person you want taking care of your pets. She is patient, relaxed, and full of love! She has a dog of her own, Peanut, and offers to do an introduction before your booking to make sure all animals are comfortable. My days are somewhat unpredictable and Peggy was always accommodating and patient with my schedule. Maple would rush to her door each day in anticipation. We feel so lucky that Maple has been under such great care for the past 2 weeks!!”
About: Finding the right sitter matters — especially when your dog needs more than just a walk and a bowl refill. That’s where I come in. I have over 15 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs and behaviorally challenging cases, I’ve cared for and handled dogs with a wide range of needs. My background includes extensive volunteer work at animal shelters, where I gained valuable experience reading canine body language, managing stress, and working safely with dogs that require extra patience and structure. In 2021, I earned my Certified Dog Trainer credential through Animal Behavior College, and I continue my education through Leerburg University, focusing on canine behavior, handling, and communication. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach — every dog is different, and I tailor my care to what helps your dog feel safe, calm, and confident. If you’ve been told your dog is “too difficult” or “too much” for most sitters, I encourage you to reach out. I have experience with reactive, anxious, high-drive, and medically complex dogs, including administering medications and injections when needed. My goal is not just to watch your dog, but to advocate for them while you’re away. For safety and individualized care, I only accept one family of dogs at a time. This allows me to focus fully on your dog’s routine, comfort, and well-being — no overcrowding, no chaos. I’d love to schedule a meet & greet so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. You’ll leave knowing your dog is in capable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring hands. Thanks for stopping by my profile — I look forward to meeting you and your best friend soon. I'm hoping to make canine boarding/training my new job. I still work full time in a hybrid remote role. I will only accept boarding reservations where I know I will be home. I prefer to exercise dogs by walking them, but will do anything to keep your friends on their own routine. Anything you can share with me about your dogs preferred routine will help me keep their schedule as normal as possible.
About: Hi! I'm Ava, a lifelong dog lover with 10+ years of experience caring for pups of all breeds, sizes and personalities. Whether it's energetic playtime, relaxing walks, or cozy cuddle sessions, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy and loved while their humans are away. I work from home, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Your dog won't be left alone for long periods and will get consistent potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I provide loving, attentive care in our home. I work from home, so pets receive plenty of supervision potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day.
About: I love to play and love on animals, and my daughter loves to research breeds and find what they like the most. And care for them that way. Your pet(s) will be well welcomed to our fun loving home. Welcome! I am working full time, dogs will have full access to backyard at their leisure. If they are unfamiliar with a dog door, I will train them. Litter box cleaned daily. And in the morning and evening some love and play time. I have a fenced in yard, dog door ( that locks) shelves and hiding spots for cats. I had made this an oasis for my cat and dog while they were still with us. Our free time is spent at the cat cafe, and the humane society. We will go walk the dogs there or play with the cats at both places. Any animal in need of love and attention, we are thrilled to provide it. Our dog passed of cancer 3 years ago and needed to be put down as it had spread and she was in terrible pain. It was a slow, and hard for to let go A year ago, our cat had this disease, and she became immobile immediately and was in chronic pain. It was such a quick loss. So I have been a little hesitant to bring another animal in full time. However, all animals are welcome and we look forward to building a safe spot for you and your pet while you are away.
“I'm so happy to have found Lola on Rover. She is so sweet. My puppy had a great time at her home playing with her dogs, cats, and kids🥰 Will definitely be a repeat customer!”
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with daily walks, bathing, brushing, enrichment play, and maintaining consistent routines. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I adapt my care to meet their individual needs — whether they’re energetic, shy, young, or senior. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment you can trust. I am a stay at home mom and my husband works from home Monday through Friday, allowing us to provide consistent supervision and care throughout the week. We also have a 10-month-old baby in our home, so we maintain a calm, structured environment. Pets staying with us should be comfortable around infants and gentle in nature. Your pet will receive regular potty breaks, attention, and companionship throughout the day. We have a fenced in yard for outdoor time. All outdoor time is fully supervised. We provide frequent potty breaks and maintain a calm, structured, pet-friendly home. Safety is our top priority, and we treat every pet like part of our family. We’re happy to provide updates and photos during their stay for your peace of mind. 🐾Booking & Care Details🐾 Boarding is based on 24-hour care beginning at your scheduled drop-off time. Rover automatically applies extended care charges for late pick-ups beyond that window, so accurate timing is important when booking. Holiday rates apply to major travel dates. Puppies and additional dogs are charged at adjusted rates due to the increased supervision required. For longer stays or work-travel bookings, I’m happy to discuss customized arrangements. 🐾 Meet & Greet Policy🐾 A meet and greet is required for all new clients prior to confirming a boarding stay. This ensures your dog is comfortable in our home environment and is a safe fit around children and other animals. Meet and greets allow us to review routines, temperament, and expectations so your pet’s stay is smooth and stress-free.
“Karen is a great pup sitter!! My dog responded to her right away and it was very obvious that she had a great time with Karen and her 2 furbabies. Was very comfortable leaving my pup at her home in her care.”
About: Hi! My name is Stephanie, and my husband, three kids (3, 7, and 10) and I are so excited to love your dog while you’re away! A Roof for Ruffs is the brainchild of our 10yo daughter. We are a foster family for a local dog rescue organization where we take in one or two dogs at a time until they can find their forever homes. We’re having so much fun with fostering that our sweet girl suggested we take on paying clients between our fosters, and donate some of the proceeds to the same local dog rescue organization. ♥️ I’ve owned dogs my whole life. Between fostering, petsitting for family, neighbors and friends, and caring for my own pups, I have experience with all ages—from very young puppies to seniors and everything in between; small and large breeds; well-behaved and questionable; medical cases, and even the occasional cat. 😱 Your dog’s vacay siblings for their stay will include a 2yo female Great pyr/St. Bernard rescue pup, and two 4yo guinea pigs. We are so very excited to meet your dog, and to treat them like family for their stay. My husband works full time, but I am a freelance writer with flexible hours working from home while caring for our three kids. In other words: your pup won’t be left alone often! 😆 **Please note: all pets must have proof of updated vaccines and be okay with kids (they will be loved on and spoiled by our kiddos while they’re here!) I am home daily with my kids, so lots of potty breaks and playtime is possible throughout the day. We are available most weekdays or weekends unless blocked while we have a foster or for travel. We have a 4-foot aluminum fence in the backyard and live on a public park with a walking trail for easy exercise options. We have extra dog crates here if your pup is crate-trained or feel free to bring your own.
About: Hello, My name is Lerin, I am a professional dog groomer/handler of 10 years. I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to Geriatric babies. I am quite experienced with dogs with behavioral issues. If our schedules work out and I can help you help your kiddo I’m more than happy to. I work full time as a dog groomer. So my schedule for drop in’s/walks. Looks like a walk in the AM before work. So anytime guaranteed before 8:30 and anytime guaranteed after 4:30. If the distance to your home is within a reasonable distance from my job I can typically do a walk within my shift as well. Mondays and Tuesday’s I’m off all day and can come at any time. I treat every animals as if they are my own. Which I do see my pet families/clients as an extension of mine. They are apart of my life and I give care that brings them back. For that I can’t be more grateful.
“Melissa was lovely! Provided updates during the day. Lorenzo and her son def tired my Rambo out and Rambo looked SUPER HAPPY when I picked him up! Looking forward to booking with Melissa and her snails very soon! 😇”

About: Through out my life I've had several different furry friends (and fish!). I have worked with all kinds of animals from ones that love to run and play to ones that would prefer to lounge around all day! I have several years of experience as a professional pet sitter, as well as having pets of my own. I can't wait to meet your babies! 😊❤️ I am currently a stay at home mom looking to make some pocket money while doing something I love! I'll have plenty of time to look after your lovely animal babies! Most of the times, short term stays or quick check-ins work best for me, but I am open to talks regarding longer stays. I am a strong believer in spending as much time with pets as possible, so I plan to enact that with your fur babies as well. I will send you pictures of your fur baby on walks or lounging on the couch with small updates.
About: I have been in the veterinary/boarding field for about 8 years. So I have experience working with all sorts of animals (different sizes, ages, and behavior). I can administer any medicines comfortably. I have taken care of cats, dogs, rabbits, small pets (Guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, etc.), birds, fish, farm animals (goats, chickens, ect.) and frogs. I am also comfortable doing baths, nail trims, and teeth brushing if interested. I currently have three cats and two chihuahuas. I have always loved animals and I am eager to meet so many new clients and their pets! This is a dream of mine and so glad it is becoming a reality. I would also love it if you could leave a review, so I can make sure you were satisfied or if there was something I could work on or improve. Thanks! I currently work Monday and Wed. 7:30 to 5 and Friday 7:30 to 3. So I am off Thursdays, Tuesdays and the weekends! My husband also works 3rd shift so he can help out during the day as well. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space for running around! I like to have open communication between clients so they feel at ease with their fur babies being taken care of.
“This was only my 2nd appointment with Glen. He was on time and Diesel seems to like him. This helps me out so much to have someone walk him on Thursdays. I walk him everyday! Thursdays are difficult as I like to run my errands before the weekend.”
About: What sets me apart is my real, everyday experience caring for animals. I handle high-energy dogs like my Belgian Malinois, volunteer at shelters, and provide patient, loving, reliable care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine with college. I make time to walk, play with, and care for dogs because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and helping with pet sitting. At a client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I give plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away.
“Tricia was fantastic! She spent time with Ember and it showed. Ember wasn't as frantic when I got home. I know she's had a good break during the day if she is calm. I'd have her watch Ember every day if she lived close to me!”
About: I have experience administering all kinds of medication to all ages of dogs. I love meeting your older dogs and have experience helping them navigate stairs and the home if necessary. I am patient and if your dog needs extra accommodation I am happy to provide assistance. I am currently a college student on break for the summer so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am available for early mornings, late nights, and everything in between. I understand it can be nerve racking trusting someone with your pet, but I am extremely communicative and will keep you updated as frequently as you wish. I have pet sat for multiple families who have always returned to tidy homes and happy pets. As someone who has had the privilege of loving many animals, big and small (snakes, lizards, geckos, cat, hamsters), I understand the importance of your pet.
About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. As a child, I had pet sheep, rabbits, dogs, cats, and cows. As an adult, I have always had cats. My 20 year old long hair cat just passed away in January. It was heartbreaking. I miss him dearly. We loved our guy so much. In his last 5 yrs, I spent many hours catering to his elderly issues. Medications and night yowling were issues that I happily took care of as he lived out his twilight years. I have a soft spot for all animals as they go through all stages of life :) I work from home and set my own hours, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am open to many kinds of arrangements- one time sitting, a weekly routine, daily walks, weekends, etc. I am extremely fortunate to have a flexible schedule. My teen daughter and I live in a large 4 bedroom home, so we have tons of space to accommodate furry friends who need company. We do not have a fenced in yard, but our neighborhood is great for long walks. Our neighborhood has trails through the woods and a home owner’s association that maintains the trails. We have lots of fun walking the trails. I am an avid jogger/walker. I go out everyday, regardless of the weather. I have a very active lifestyle! We recently adopted a cat, but he stays in his own area on a different level of the house. He has claimed my daughter as his and lives in her room. When dogs come to stay with us, he typically stays in his room & pups never see him, although he has made friends with some of our regularly visiting pups 😊 I have a very flexible work schedule. When I do have to be away from home for work, I am gone about 2-3 hrs at a time. My daughter is at home often and also helps with pups. She is great with animals! We both like to take frequent walks throughout the day! In my home, I have a large open floor plan with tons of windows. During the day, I like to have pups next to me in my office, but some like to lay in prime viewing area of all the windows.

“We needed someone to board our cat for a month while we waited for our apartment to become available. Amanda came and picked out boy up, extended his stay when we needed, and dropped him off for us! We can’t thank you enough.”
“Ruby and Leia loved their time with Brittany and family (even the kitties!)! We enjoyed working with Brittany and appreciated all the updates throughout our dog(s) week long stay. She sent us updates when Ruby was a little sick and helped reassure us that she was doing better! She sent photos and videos throughout the week to let us know they were doing well and we so appreciated that! We plan to reach out to Brittany for our future needs.”
“Keandra went above and beyond to make sure my dog had a good time. She also was very flexible with pickup/drop off times which was helpful since I had a flight early in the morning. She also gave my dog a free shower and made sure he got plenty of exercise and play time with her dogs. 100% would recommend Keandra”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Hailey! Our dog stayed with her for two weeks and had an absolutely amazing time. He felt right at home on her beautiful, spacious property, and it was clear from the start that Hailey truly loves animals. Our pup adored her! Hailey kept us updated with daily photos and great communication, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Knowing he was in such caring and capable hands made all the difference. We’re so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!”
“I’m so glad that we found Melanie. My senior Chihuahua is picky about who watches her, and Melanie was a great fit!! She walked my dog everyday and spoiled her with endless trips to the back yard. Pixie came home with a doggie report card! I’m booking with Melanie again so I know my dog is cared for comfortably the next time I’m away.”
“What a great family. They treated our dog like he was one of their own. Had no problem with our dogs ailments and can definitely handle the Pitbull breed and knew exactly what our dog needed. They kept in touch, and sent us good pictures”
“Jennifer was great!! She watched our 7 m/o Lab for the weekend and was very communicative and sent lots of pictures/videos. Would 100% recommend her to anyone and we will use her again if needed! Thank you Jennifer!!”
“Diana is so kind and knowledgeable. My dogs were perfectly at home in her care. She gave us tons of photos, videos, and updates while we were gone and spoiled them with lots of walks. We will definitely book with her every time we travel from now on.”
“Our dogs Ozzie and Marley had a great time at Alyssa’s home! They were able to play in her fenced in backyard with her other dogs/fosters. Alyssa sent us photos/ video updates which were awesome! Will definitely use her services again and recommend her :)”
“Great customer service, prompt and friendly communications, and wonderful relationship with my Dog! I have now become a repeat customer because of these facts. Highly recommend.”
“Amy and her Family were great for ours dogs. They provide daily updates and pictures of them. it made my wife and I very happy to see them well taken care of. I would highly recommend Amy for your Dog sitting needs”
About: I have been around dogs of my own and others for my entire 38 years of life. I grew up with having at least 3 dogs at once, then when out on my own for the last 10+ years, have lived with and spoiled at least 2 dogs at a time. I currently have 2 fur kids of my own, who are very loved and spoiled. That same kind of care would translate to any dogs I care for. I'm currently working part time while studying, so I will have plenty of time for your pups! I work 3 varying days a week currently, from about 9am-5pm. A lot of time is spent at home with my own pups, and that would translate to yours. I have a good sized fenced in yard, and can provide a separate space, crating or whatever is needed between your and my dogs! I also keep the back part of my house separate.
“Jocelyn took great care of our dog. She worked with us easily and communicated with us about how our girl was doing and sent pictures. It was great to know she was so loved when we were traveling. I would recommend her as a care taker for all your pups.”
“Having peace of mind knowing your little family is always ok when you’re needing someone who knows what you need for you to be able to leave and never have a second thought about they’re safety and comfort is important and number 1 to all those involved and invested in your life that’s important!!”
“Marley was a little nervous for the first night and had an upset stomach but Amber promptly told me and it was all taken care of and she enjoyed the rest of the weekend.”
About: I’m that person that will stop mid conversation & point out when I see a cute dog in public. I’ve always loved dogs and have had so much experience over the years. You can trust i’ll treat your pet like my own ❤️ I only work a couple days a week, usually the weekend and they aren’t long hours so I am available for any scheduling you can throw at me! I can usually try to make your request fit into my day somehow. I’ve done things ranging from 5 min potty breaks, multiple daily visits, & long walks. Whatever you need I can make happen. Don’t be afraid to ask 😁
“Rae, David, and Winston were fantastic hosts for our doggo. Rae was easy to communicate with and she and David were very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely use them again!”
“Madison took such good care of our older dog Gus. She sent pictures, gave updates during his stay and communicated with us in a timely manner. We appreciate the care she gave and would definitely choose her next time we need a pet sitter. Thank you Madison!”
“Justin was fantastic! He and his family treated Charlie as their own. Justin had great communication throughout and was very accommodating. I will definitely be requesting sitting for Charlie again.”
