“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.”
“Amber was great with Luna, I noticed because Luna wasn't nervouse, normally she does. When we got back home she acted a little bit strange but I think is normal. Amber answered at all times when I texted her.”
“Julianne (and Luxe!) are always just super and caring hosts. Our dog has a super time whenever she stays with them, and we get lots of adorable photos that show us their adventures!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care Luna received! Chris and Erika were attentive, loving, and kept me updated with photos. Luna came home happy and healthy! Highly recommend!”
“I 100% recommend Alysa!! She did an amazing job watching my high maintenance pup in her home while I was on vacation. She is incredibly kind, responsible, and my dog loved her. She followed all my instructions, including giving daily medications, to a T. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her and her dog Oatmeal. I definitely recommend Alysa and would use her again.”
“Karan was amazing. He watched our Garfield sized Cat and was truly wonderful. Smart, responsible, kind and loving to our fat feline. I can’t recommend Karan enough. He has an adorable 15 lbs perfect dog as well that will get along great with any dog or cat. Nice place as well, so you are leaving your furry friend in the best of hands. Thanks Karan. We will use your services again for sure.”
“Bill has taken care of our cat on two occasions. He does a great job sending us pictures and updates on how our cat is doing. He follows the instructions very well and replies quickly to our messages. We will definitely contact him again for future visits”
“This was our first time having our puppy sleep over with a sitter. Kat was very patient with me and answering all my questions. I never felt pressured or rushed! Kat sent pictures and was prompt with responding to my check ins. I will definitely use Kat again.”
“Very friendly,did a great job with spike ,would definentley use again👍Gave updates and sent pics , overall very good experiance. He had a great time with the kids they made it so Spike does not want to go home.”
“We are so thankful how well our dogs were cared for by Rae & Dave! Communication was great and we even were shown glimpses into our pups lives while we were away. Our little 10 pounder became best buds with Winston and spent half the drive home pouting when we picked him up. Our older one just needed cuddles and snuggles and was happily provided with those often. We know our dogs have a lot of energy - but Dave and Rae took on the challenge without any complaints and most of all we know that our little guys were loved! We give a high recommendation!”
“Kind, receptive, attentive. Keandra is just incredible, she has a wonderful home that feels so amazing. The Vibes are perfect. I really do feel safe letting my dog (my baby boy) stay here.”
“Our two dogs stayed with Amy and family including their puppy Wooster. Our dogs enjoyed their time and came home well loved. We did a meet and greet before hand and Amy provided updates throughout our trip. It seems the dogs enjoyed their vacation as much as we did!”
“Lyn always does such a great job caring for my baby Prince. She communicates well, captures the best pics/videos and is easy to get a hold of. Milley is the sweetest, Princes BFF. Thank you !!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of needs—from those on strict schedules requiring medication and extra attention, to high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise, as well as more easygoing pets who simply need love and companionship.

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy building my schedule around consistency and responsibility. I plan my day to ensure pets are fed on time, get the exercise they need, and receive plenty of attention and care. Whether that means morning walks, playtime during the day, or evening check-ins, I make sure each pet’s routine is followed closely so they feel comfortable and secure. On a weekly basis, I stay flexible to meet each pet’s needs, including longer visits, extended walks, or additional care if needed.

About: I am a teacher and have summers off! Let me and my sweet daughter help take care of your pet this summer. We are too busy during the school year to justify having our own pet, so let us spoil yours! I have lots of availability this summer- let's work something out! Just reach out and we can get something on the calendar- whether you need over night care or your furry friend needs a walk. We have a partially fenced in yard. We live close to the trial, so we will go on many walks. We have a leash outside as well as room to crate inside.
About: I am a former healthcare worker with open availability. I used to live on a farm with various animals. Currently in between jobs and looking for a change of pace. I worked overnights for 4yrs and have been in healthcare for 15yrs. I have pretty open availability within reason. I would like a decent heads up to be sure I have the means to accommodate. My routine is very laid back and I watch for signs and cues. I have two dogs of my own. I love caring for and just being around animals. I live in a quiet neighborhod. While I do not have a fenced in yard, I am willing to walk and give attention to each animal in my care.
“I can't say enough good things about Stevie! From the moment I met her and her daughter, I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Throughout the week, she was incredibly diligent, providing regular updates and even photos/videos which put my mind at ease. It was clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. On top of her excellent care, she was also very flexible when both of our schedules shifted. I highly recommend Stevie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and flexible pet sitter!”
About: I have taken care of animals for a while and even worked on a farm! All of your friends will be safe and cared for in my home.

“Amber was a HUGE help to me. I changed plans twice on her and she was so kind and understanding and even let me book another night unexpectedly!! I also love how much her family loved my fur baby. I will absolutely be asking amber again! 110% recommend!!!”
“Calli did a great job watching my cat and house for several days, and she was flexible accommodating a last minute flight change on my return. She recognized a stressed-out cat who was not used to her owner being away, took her time letting the cat warm up her, and provided updates along the way. You'll be comfortable leaving your pet and house in Calli's hands!”
“MacKenzie took Bea into her home, giving great updates and photos during. She made sure Bea was eating and drinking properly, and getting lots of cuddles. Bea gives her two paws up!”
“Georgia was so helpful and really gave us peace of mind that Chloe was taken care of while we were away! She’s diabetic, so we had to find someone willing to come by twice a day to give her insulin and Georgia was perfect for that. We will definitely book her for our future travels!”
“Renae is the best. We have used her several times to house/pet sit and to do check ins on our older cat while we are gone. She always goes above and beyond to care for our pets and give them love, attention, and keep them safe and cared for. We always love all of the pictures she sends too! She’s always our #1 option for pet care while we are gone.”
“If u want to be confident that your dog is being cared for while u r away Martina is the best. I can personally vouch for the time and care she takes to make sure your beloved animal is happy, safe and comfortable while u r away from them. We hate to leave our pets. And with the illness that was going around we didn't want to take our doggy to a kennel. Knowing she was at home and in her own space was the most important thing to us. Thank you Martina. I hope u can be proud of the wonderful job you do for us.”
“Gabrielle was great! She was available for me last minute. She kept me updated about the dogs and sent me photos that gave me a reassurance that they were in good hands! Highly recommend!”
“Hannah was so amazing! Milo loved when her and her kids dropped in for visits! She was always flexible with me and my schedule! She had great communication about everything! We cannot thank her enough for the great care she provided our puppy!”
About: I have had at least one dog in my house for the last 9+ years. My mom leaves town often for weekends and holidays, so I am the go to baby sitter. My siblings and friends have also entrusted me with their dogs, and haven't had any complaints. I love all kinds of dogs (and cats) and would love to spend time with yours! I am currently working full time at Illinois State University so I am occupied from 8am-4:30pm M-F. However I am able to use my lunch break for check ins and aside from the work obligation, pet care is able to be my main focus To care for the pets, I will feed them on the interval you request, as I know some owners have different meal schedules than others. I will take for long walks and ensure plenty of exercise for the furry friends. If necessary I will also bathe the pet to ensure no mess is created in the home.
“I cannot say enough great things about Chris and Kate! They provided a daily drop-in visit to check in on our kitties while we were out of town. Our playful kitty Lin met them at the door each day, our shy kitty Dottie quickly warmed up to them, and they were even able to spot our senior cat Smokey a number of times (before he ran off to hide, as he usually does, haha!) I also really appreciated the detailed notes and adorable photos of the kitties they sent us each day -- you could tell how comfortable the kittens were with them by the end of the week. It's such a relief to know your pets are being well taken care of when you're out of town! This was our first time using Rover, and I'm so glad to have had such a great experience with Kate and Chris! We will be booking them again in the future! :) Thank you!”
“Jaclyn was fantastic. She provided detailed updates and photos that reassured us our kitties were in good hands. She gave our needy boy extra attention and snuggle time. She even earned the trust of our shy girl. We will definitely be using Jaclyn again in the future.”
About: While I have more experience with dogs than cats, I am comfortable caring for cats and understand that each one has a unique personality. I have had limited experience with cats, including interactions with some that were fearful or defensive, which taught me the importance of patience, respecting boundaries, and allowing cats to approach on their own terms. With a proper introduction and understanding of your cat’s needs, I am confident in providing attentive, compassionate care during drop-in visits.
About: I've been the go-to cat sitter for my community for 10 years! I've cared for dozens of different kitties with all sorts of needs and personalities. I can administer medication, clean messes, play with them and of course give them plenty of pets. So if you are looking for someone who truly understands and loves cats just as much as you, request me to take care of your fur-baby.

“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!!”
“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 !!”
“Karen was so wonderful! I was in Bloomington for five hours to visit family for the holidays and needed a place that my dog could stay while I was with family. Karen was incredibly accommodating and a happy safe space for my pup. He is disabled and has really bad separation anxiety. He was able to make him feel loved and safe and continuously sent me pictures and updates on him. I highly recommend using him:)”

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.
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.

“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
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.

About: I have 3 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I've provided dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large, high-energy dogs. I'm comfortable following each pet's routine, providing exercise, playtime, feeding, fresh water, and lots of attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, so I always focus on providing patient, reliable, and compassionate care while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. I currently am a student, but I love spending my days off caring for animals. Pet care has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and Rover gives me the opportunity to continue doing what I love while helping pet owners have peace of mind when they're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

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.
About: I have been a pestsitter since 2018. From just a simple check-in to in-home sitting for 4 months, I've had a wide variety of experiences. I am available early morning, short afternoons, and evenings. I can provide morning and evening check-ins, in-home care, and walks. I work full-time, so any afternoon care would be during my hour break. With in-home care, I ensure I get as much information needed to properly care for the pet(s) and the home. I do my best to provide the pet(s) with nearly the same care they receive normally. I always make sure to eat my own food and clean the home before my departure.
About: Growing up on a farm, you learn responsibly. I have been around animals of all sizes since I was four. When I was eight, I started working at a family-owned dog kennel, which I still work at today. At 16, I started housesitting for neighbors and family-friends. I am very trustworthy and have years of experience. Your animals will be in good hands! I am a college student at ISU, so my schedule revolves around my classes, but there isn’t more than 4 hours where I won’t be able to take care of your animals! I will take care of your pets like my own. I will feed them on schedule if needed, and need to all instructions given. And give the necessary pets when needed.
About: I have owned dogs since I was a kid and still do. I have had experience with many different breeds and ages as well. I have experience with cats but I have been attacked and they make me nervous but with the appropriate introduction I am just fine. I care for my neighbors dogs quite often as he’s a firefighter and I have been doing that for over 2 years. I have trained many young dogs but i’m not a dog trainer. I go to school full time but only attend 3 in person classes, but I can let you know my school schedule upon request. I also work part time at night starting at 4, again I can provide a schedule upon request. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities during every walk and drop-in visit. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for. During walks, I use safe leash-handling practices and pay close attention to our surroundings. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. You can count on me to be reliable, respectful of your home, and to provide updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. 🐾😊
About: I’ve spent years caring for both cats and dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s energetic pups that love long walks or independent cats that just need some company, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with feeding routines, administering medication, cleaning up after pets, and providing lots of love, playtime, and cuddles. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own (Rigby, my senior cavapoo, and Dante, my 1-year old black cat, would attest if they could)! Whether you're heading out of town or just need a helping hand, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work part time until mid-May, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! Please DM for specific hours, as they will vary slightly! When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I always treat their space and routines with the utmost respect. I do my best to stick closely to your pet’s usual schedule, whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, or quiet time. I follow all instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I keep things clean, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet, keeping everything as normal and familiar as possible.
About: I believe that pets should be treated like your own family member. Exercise, affection, grooming and good nutrition are all important to a Happy pet. I've had pets all my life, both cats and dogs as well exotic animals. For the past 15 years, I've had friends, family and co-workers seek me out to care for their pets. They trust my ability and love. I can be there at anytime you need me. Thanks for your concentration and I hope to hear from you soon.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes & personalities. I’m not shy to specialized care needs and love to play, walk & give belly rubs! Services include drop in dog walks and play sessions and overnight pet sitting for short or long terms. I’ve cared for two large fluffy dogs with special needs for two months at a time. I also looked after a high energy chihuahua for three weeks, routinely walking three or four times a day to burn some extra energy! I work full time in Bloomington from 9-6, Monday - Friday. Walks will take place as late as 8am or earlier, during lunch break if you’re home is within 15 miles of Bloomington, and after 6:30 pm on weekdays. Weekends are flexible and I am comfortable transporting the dogs to a dog park or swimming spot if they do well on field trips! I’m more of a homebody and love to play and interact with animals in their home. Your house rules & pet care needs will be met with respect and understanding. Your dog’s boundaries, safety and needs will be prioritized. I appreciate cleanliness and will respect your home as if it’s my own.
About: All cats deserve love. From cleaning their litter box daily to playing with their toys or feeding them on a consistent schedule, I try my hardest to ensure my cats or any cats I cat sit have all their needs taken care of. I'm currently working part-time throughout the week as well as having Sunday and Monday off. My work schedule is flexible which allows me to focus on pet care. I have a ton of cat toys and cat scratchers around my home as well as two cool cats who would love to play with any new friends. I am extremely adaptable to any requests you have to make sure your cat is as comfortable as they can be.
“Thank you so much for walking my boy. He truly loves you! Also thank you for being so accommodating for my last minute request. I really appreciate it. I will hire you again if needed. You’re the best!”
“Brandon and Courtney are absolutely the best! We have a very high energy pup who is currently learning his manners ;) Brandon and Courtney came over ready to learn his cues and they have been absolute life savers for us on long days while we are working or away for an afternoon. We would recommend them over and over again!”

“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.”
“Amber was great with Luna, I noticed because Luna wasn't nervouse, normally she does. When we got back home she acted a little bit strange but I think is normal. Amber answered at all times when I texted her.”
“Julianne (and Luxe!) are always just super and caring hosts. Our dog has a super time whenever she stays with them, and we get lots of adorable photos that show us their adventures!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care Luna received! Chris and Erika were attentive, loving, and kept me updated with photos. Luna came home happy and healthy! Highly recommend!”
“I 100% recommend Alysa!! She did an amazing job watching my high maintenance pup in her home while I was on vacation. She is incredibly kind, responsible, and my dog loved her. She followed all my instructions, including giving daily medications, to a T. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her and her dog Oatmeal. I definitely recommend Alysa and would use her again.”
“Karan was amazing. He watched our Garfield sized Cat and was truly wonderful. Smart, responsible, kind and loving to our fat feline. I can’t recommend Karan enough. He has an adorable 15 lbs perfect dog as well that will get along great with any dog or cat. Nice place as well, so you are leaving your furry friend in the best of hands. Thanks Karan. We will use your services again for sure.”
“Bill has taken care of our cat on two occasions. He does a great job sending us pictures and updates on how our cat is doing. He follows the instructions very well and replies quickly to our messages. We will definitely contact him again for future visits”
“This was our first time having our puppy sleep over with a sitter. Kat was very patient with me and answering all my questions. I never felt pressured or rushed! Kat sent pictures and was prompt with responding to my check ins. I will definitely use Kat again.”
“Very friendly,did a great job with spike ,would definentley use again👍Gave updates and sent pics , overall very good experiance. He had a great time with the kids they made it so Spike does not want to go home.”
“We are so thankful how well our dogs were cared for by Rae & Dave! Communication was great and we even were shown glimpses into our pups lives while we were away. Our little 10 pounder became best buds with Winston and spent half the drive home pouting when we picked him up. Our older one just needed cuddles and snuggles and was happily provided with those often. We know our dogs have a lot of energy - but Dave and Rae took on the challenge without any complaints and most of all we know that our little guys were loved! We give a high recommendation!”
“Kind, receptive, attentive. Keandra is just incredible, she has a wonderful home that feels so amazing. The Vibes are perfect. I really do feel safe letting my dog (my baby boy) stay here.”
“Our two dogs stayed with Amy and family including their puppy Wooster. Our dogs enjoyed their time and came home well loved. We did a meet and greet before hand and Amy provided updates throughout our trip. It seems the dogs enjoyed their vacation as much as we did!”
About: I am a teacher and have summers off! Let me and my sweet daughter help take care of your pet this summer. We are too busy during the school year to justify having our own pet, so let us spoil yours! I have lots of availability this summer- let's work something out! Just reach out and we can get something on the calendar- whether you need over night care or your furry friend needs a walk. We have a partially fenced in yard. We live close to the trial, so we will go on many walks. We have a leash outside as well as room to crate inside.
About: I am a former healthcare worker with open availability. I used to live on a farm with various animals. Currently in between jobs and looking for a change of pace. I worked overnights for 4yrs and have been in healthcare for 15yrs. I have pretty open availability within reason. I would like a decent heads up to be sure I have the means to accommodate. My routine is very laid back and I watch for signs and cues. I have two dogs of my own. I love caring for and just being around animals. I live in a quiet neighborhod. While I do not have a fenced in yard, I am willing to walk and give attention to each animal in my care.
“I can't say enough good things about Stevie! From the moment I met her and her daughter, I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Throughout the week, she was incredibly diligent, providing regular updates and even photos/videos which put my mind at ease. It was clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. On top of her excellent care, she was also very flexible when both of our schedules shifted. I highly recommend Stevie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and flexible pet sitter!”
About: I have taken care of animals for a while and even worked on a farm! All of your friends will be safe and cared for in my home. I am available for boarding pretty much any days of the week and I am perfectly okay with last minute bookings and cancellations if needed! I understand how life can get! I work only 4 min from my job and have flexibility to step in and out. I also have an indoor camera to keep an eye when I am away.
“Hailey is absolutely amazing! I am so grateful for the excellent care she provided for our dog Frank. From our meet and greet to pick up, Hailey was so easy to work with. I can tell she has a true heart for animals. We got pictures and communication every day we were gone, and she was so flexible with drop off and pick up. Hailey was THE BEST!!!!!”
“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!!”
