“They were amazing and great with our dog. She’s 100lbs plus and from photos, she made herself at home with the everyone and enjoyed herself! We will be booking with them again for anything we need to do with our dog.”
“Julia was fantastic! She took such great care of my dog, did more than I even expected of her. And kept up with any questions I may have had while I was gone and updated me with photos. Would book again. I could tell my dog fell in love with her and her dog while I was away.”
About: I’ve spent the past 6–7 years caring for animals through the Kankakee County Humane Foundation, where I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all different sizes, personalities, backgrounds, and comfort levels. I also currently care for boarding pets at VCA County West Animal Hospital and have been pet sitting for several years. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic, playful pups to shy, nervous, or more reserved pets. Being around such a wide variety of animals has taught me how important patience, body language, routine, and earning an animal’s trust truly are. I genuinely adore animals and treat every pet in my care like they’re one of my own. 🐾 I currently work in animal care, so my schedule is consistent and easy to plan around. I’m at the shelter Mondays and Fridays from 7:30 AM–5 PM. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I work split shifts at VCA from 7:30–11 AM and 4:30–7:30 PM, leaving me available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care during the middle of the day and later evenings. Saturdays I work 7:30–10 AM and 5–7:30 PM, with a large window available in between. I’m also generally available on Sundays and am happy to work with your pet’s routine whenever possible. As I grow my Rover clientele, I’d love to dedicate even more of my schedule to pet sitting and caring for your pets! 🐾 I live in a quiet, friendly neighborhood in Bradley with a fully fenced 4-foot chain-link yard. I have two dogs of my own who are incredibly sweet and friendly, but I understand that not every pet is comfortable around other animals. Introductions would always be done slowly and carefully, and I have a spare bedroom that can be set up as a cozy, quiet space for your pet if they need their own area to relax. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, potty, walking, crate, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. Pets will be supervised while outside, and I’m comfortable keeping animals separated when needed based on personality or comfort level. Because of my years of shelter and animal-hospital experience, I’m used to reading body language, working with nervous or shy pets, and adjusting my approach to what makes each individual animal feel safe. My goal is for your pet to feel secure, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. 🐾
“Bryan was amazing with my dog Jolly. He kept me updated sent pictures and everything I will definitely be booking him again and I definitely recommend him to everyone and anyone.. Thank you Bryan for the peace of mind while I was on vacation”
“Bridget is amazing. Our dog hates to stay anywhere without us. She wont eat. She just lays around and mopes. We planned a 10 day vacation and needed someone that knew how to take care of anxious dogs. We could not believe our luck when we found Bridget. She brought Shelly into her home and treated her like one of her own. She sent us updates and pictures daily. It felt like we dropped Shelly off at doggy camp. She was comfortable the first day there. She ate, played with the other dogs, went for walks, watched tv, and got lots oflove. It was such a relief! We will definitely be repeat clients.”
“Danielle just watched our new 4 month old puppy for 6 days. She did an absolutely fantastic and professional job. Not one day went by without communication and pictures. She shared about his day and didn’t hesitate to ask questions regarding his routine. Danielle took on the extra responsibility of having a puppy with such a positive happy attitude and we can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of Chuggy! He had a ball playing and has slept the day away today after coming home! Thanks Danielle???”
“Jeff’s house is well appointed for your fur babies. My babies enjoyed the freedom of the fenced in yard, and found their own places in his home. Jeff had a water bowl out for them and I thought that was neat. He was very observant of their time outside in the heat. Jeff goes over and above and keeps in great contact. He really “gets” our dog’s personality traits. No problems, no worries, just great service. Go with the best. Thanks, Jeff.”
“I could not have asked for a better person to take care of my Milo. Meet and greet went great and I had no reservations with leaving him there for the weekend. She sent pictures and videos all weekend that showed he was having a great time with her dogs and family. I really don’t think he wanted to come home!”
“Beth was amazing!! Our dog seemed to love being with her. She sent a lot of pictures and videos, which was very comforting. She played with him a ton and treated him like one of her own. We will definitely book with Beth again.”
“Michelle and Christy were outstanding!! We received a text and pics every day and we could see that our little dogs were happy and comfortable staying with them. Our dogs were outside running with their dogs and living the good life while we were on vacation. The care and attention that our babies were given allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation knowing that they were in excellent hands. I would highly recommend Michelle and Christy to other pet parents!! 🥰”
“Louie had so much fun with Tami and her dogs Dolly and Bear! Tami has a wonderful backyard that the dogs got to play around in. Throughout our trip we knew Tami was taking great care of him sending lots of pics and updates! We know Louie can be challenging (he’s a very hyper puppy) but luckily he had Bear to play with. We highly recommend Tami and would definitely book with her again!”
“This was the first time we booked Magda. We were put at ease when we went on our week long vacation because of Magda’s professionalism and her love for animals and our dog. We will definitely be using her again.”

Please message me so we can discuss your specific needs and availability! Hi, I’m Bee! I’m a medically retired police officer turned professional pet care provider. Pet care is my full-time work, not a side hobby. I take a calm, structured, safety-first approach and focus on low-stress care that allows pets to feel secure, respected, and comfortable.

“I can't imagine a better person to leave our Parker Boy with! Heather took the best care of our dog and sent pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease while we were apart from him. She made him feel like a part of the family and made sure to do whatever she could to make him comfortable. We would recommend Heather to anyone looking for a sitter for their furry friends!!”

“Olivia took great care of our boys. She put our minds at ease and did everything we asked. She’s very kind and compassionate. We will definitely ask her to watch the boys again!!”
“Our first time using Rover and Leslie has been great! Gave great notes and check in and was very patient with our cats. Very quick and accommodating with adding visits when our travel plans changed. Amazing!”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities and needs. At the animal shelter, I regularly cared for a cat room housing 10–15 cats at a time, along with additional cats who needed to be kept separately. I’m comfortable handling, feeding, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and working patiently with cats who may be shy, nervous, or more independent. I also have experience with cats through boarding at VCA, grew up with cats in my household, and continue to care for outdoor cats as well. I’m confident reading feline body language and adjusting my approach to help each cat feel safe and comfortable.
“It was our very first time using this service and we were a bit nervous. Jeff was available even on the short notice. From the first time we met Jeff we felt good. He is an experienced sitter. Cats felt comfortable around him. Jeff was very responsible. He ensured we received photos from each visit. Cats looked good and relaxed. Definitely will be calling him again in the future.”
About: Hello! I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years — including rescues, seniors, and pups with lots of energy! I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with feeding routines, meds, and special care needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I promise to keep you updated with cute pictures and messages throughout their stay. Your fur baby’s comfort and safety come first! 🐕✨ I am currently working part time. Which is Tues-Sat 4pm-11pm tho so I’m anytime free before then. & I am off every Sunday and Monday I rent a home with a fenced in backyard. I do currently have 2 dogs. (Chihuahua mixes and a heeler mix.) they are crate trained so if you’re more comfortable with them staying separated from your baby(ies) that is absolutely no problem, depending on the duration of the stay.
About: I’ve had all kinds of animals growing up. Dogs, horses, cats, goats, a parakeet or two, I love animals so much. I have a ton of dog experience from puppies to seniors. I also understand the anxiety of leaving your pets alone and the importance of having someone you can trust to care for your pets when you have to be away. I’ll take care of your pets like they are my own. I’m currently attending massage therapy school so I need a flexible option, but I’m free a lot of the time and don’t mind driving to different locations. I treat my pets like family because they are my family. I understand the value of our pets and will treat each one like they are my own.
About: What sets me apart as a cat sitter is my understanding that cats thrive on consistency, patience, and respect for their space. With over 5 years of experience caring for cats, I’ve worked with a wide range of personalities from playful kittens to senior cats, from affectionate lap cats to shy, independent observers. That experience has taught me how to read subtle cues, adapt quickly, and create a calm, secure environment in any home. I take the time to learn your cat’s unique preferences, routines, and boundaries so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I follow a structured daily routine to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. Each visit includes fresh food and water, litter box cleaning and monitoring, a wellness check, and quality time tailored to your cat whether that’s interactive play, enrichment activities, brushing, or quiet companionship. If medication is required, I carefully follow instructions to ensure it’s given properly and on schedule. I’m highly observant and attentive to detail. I notice small changes in appetite, behavior, or energy levels and communicate promptly if anything seems off. I don’t just “stop by” I make each visit intentional and meaningful so your cat feels cared for, not just supervised. Communication is a priority for me. You’ll receive thoughtful daily updates with photos so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away. I also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and organized. Most importantly, I genuinely care. After five years of cat sitting, one thing has remained constant. I treat every cat as if they were my own. Their comfort, safety, and emotional well-being always come first.
About: Cats have always been a special part of my life, from growing up with them to now sharing my home with my own two beloved cats. Living with cats has taught me to appreciate their unique personalities, respect their boundaries, and recognize the little changes that can signal they need extra attention. I understand that cats thrive on consistency, patience, and a calm environment, especially when their people are away. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers quiet companionship, I'll make sure they receive attentive care, affection on their terms, and the routine they're accustomed to. My goal is to help your cat feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you're back home, while giving you confidence that they're in caring, capable hands.
About: Cats have a way of telling you what they want—you just have to listen. Whether they’re into playtime, treats, or being left alone (while not actually being alone), I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I always follow each cat’s routine—feeding, fresh water, litter box care, medications if needed, and of course, dripping the faucet during my visit.
About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and attention I give to every pet. I treat each animal as if they were my own—whether that means being extra gentle with senior dogs, helping reinforce training with energetic puppies, or making sure your shy or anxious pet feels safe and loved. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I pay close attention to your pet’s unique needs and routine. Communication is key, so I always keep owners updated with photos and notes to give you peace of mind while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be in a caring, responsible, and attentive environment. As a healthcare worker, I usually work three days a week, which gives me a very flexible schedule the rest of the week to focus on pet care. On my days off, I love spending time with animals—it’s honestly one of the best ways to unwind and bring joy into my routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or walks, I have the time, energy, and passion to give your pet the attention they deserve. My healthcare background also makes me dependable, calm under pressure, and very attentive to detail—especially when it comes to routines, medications, or special care needs. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of genuine care and attention I give every pet. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine—and I make it my priority to provide care that’s tailored to them. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies who need consistency and structure to sweet senior dogs who need patience, gentleness, and extra love. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and always keep pet parents in the loop with updates and photos. Whether your pup needs a walking buddy, cuddle partner, or someone to reinforce training, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home.
“Emalee did everything as instructed. I only wish she mentioned the smell of uneaten food rotting in the kitchen trash can, so it could have been properly disposed of outside.”
About: Taking care of your animal will be my number one priority. I love animals, I will be more than attentive to their needs and accommodate anything you would like. I’m available any time you need me and I will take in any animal, big, small, furry, hairless, you name it! I love them all. I’ve had animals my whole life so I know how to take care of dogs, I’ve had cats now for 5 years and kittens and it’s a handful but it has taught me so many things needed to be a perfect sitter! I love getting pets toys, and fancy food sometimes to spoil them so expect that (if it’s fone with the owner) of course. I can’t wait to meet you and your lovely pet!
“Caitlin visited our cat Snoopy over the course of a week. She was always quick to answer any questions, took pictures on any visit, and did a wonderful job. We will definitely use her in the future and recommend you do the same!”

Although I'm new to Rover, I'm committed to providing dependable, personalized care and treating every pet like they're part of my own family. I'll always follow your pet's routine, keep you updated with photos, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm available Monday through Saturday during the morning and afternoon for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting.

About: Pet adventure guide with a talent for river walks, snack negotiations, belly rubs, and earning the trust of even the sassiest cats. I only care for one “pack” at a time, so your pets get my undivided attention and personalized care—whether they’re boarding with me or just stopping by for the day 💜 After a career shift, I found myself with more flexibility in my schedule—and I decided to dedicate that time to doing something I LOVE 🐾 Safety First, Shenanigans second! Since my yard is unfenced, outdoor time is always supervised. I use a 125-lb-rated ground lead or a long leash held securely in hand, and I prefer dogs to wear a harness while in my care. On walks, I’m always keeping an eye out for anything that may trigger, disturb or excite your pup and I use positive redirection when needed. I follow your pet’s routine and preferences as closely as possible to make transition of care easier.

“Bridget did an awesome job with Ardal! She took great care of him and sent me a few updates, which I appreciated. I have a very tired, very happy pup and will definitely be requesting future daycare appointments!”
“I'm in from out of town and was looking for a sitter for a couple of days. After reviewing profiles on Rover, I came across Danielle's profile and decided to book based on her reviews. She truly did not disappoint. She is lovely and accepted Lexi for both full days sending me regular updates and photos on his activity. I'm pleased with her service - and look forward to having Lexi stay with her in the future. Thanks again....”

“They were great with the dogs. Dogs were tired after spending the day. Missy actually ate when she came home which means she wasn't upset which is a good thing!”

I have lots of gates up throughout the house & different rooms I can put dogs in if any need to separated. I also have large crates I can use.
“Karen and Tom were great with my girl Xo. Their big yard is perfect for Xo and her excess energy! They kept me updated and sent photos and videos of Xo. I was very pleased with Xo’s overall stay. Xo normally doesn’t eat when staying in a new environment. However, Karen was able to get Xo to eat comfortably. Xo enjoyed her stay, she came back an happy girl. I feel very comfortable leaving Xo with Karen and Tom and would definitely recommend them!”

She gave me multiple updates and pictures throughout. When I came to pick him up, she gave me a painting he made (with the help of peanut butter and plastic wrap I assume)! 1000% recommend”

About: I’ve spent the past 6–7 years caring for animals through the Kankakee County Humane Foundation, where I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all different sizes, personalities, backgrounds, and comfort levels. I also currently care for boarding pets at VCA County West Animal Hospital and have been pet sitting for several years. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic, playful pups to shy, nervous, or more reserved pets. Being around such a wide variety of animals has taught me how important patience, body language, routine, and earning an animal’s trust truly are. I genuinely adore animals and treat every pet in my care like they’re one of my own. 🐾 I currently work in animal care, so my schedule is consistent and easy to plan around. I’m at the shelter Mondays and Fridays from 7:30 AM–5 PM. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I work split shifts at VCA from 7:30–11 AM and 4:30–7:30 PM, leaving me available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care during the middle of the day and later evenings. Saturdays I work 7:30–10 AM and 5–7:30 PM, with a large window available in between. I’m also generally available on Sundays and am happy to work with your pet’s routine whenever possible. As I grow my Rover clientele, I’d love to dedicate even more of my schedule to pet sitting and caring for your pets! 🐾 I live in a quiet, friendly neighborhood in Bradley with a fully fenced 4-foot chain-link yard. I have two dogs of my own who are incredibly sweet and friendly, but I understand that not every pet is comfortable around other animals. Introductions would always be done slowly and carefully, and I have a spare bedroom that can be set up as a cozy, quiet space for your pet if they need their own area to relax. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, potty, walking, crate, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. Pets will be supervised while outside, and I’m comfortable keeping animals separated when needed based on personality or comfort level. Because of my years of shelter and animal-hospital experience, I’m used to reading body language, working with nervous or shy pets, and adjusting my approach to what makes each individual animal feel safe. My goal is for your pet to feel secure, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. 🐾
About: We’re happy to provide a temporary, loving, and dependable home for your pet while you’re away, giving plenty of care, attention, and affection to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home 🐾 También hablamos español. 😌 There is always someone home during the week and on weekends, allowing pets to receive consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day in a calm, supervised environment. Your pet will be able to make themselves at home inside, either in their crate if that is your preference or their own bed, there is plenty of room! When they’re ready to be outside, they’re able to roam in our big fenced in yard. We live in a great neighborhood, so walking is part of our routine too! There are no other pets in our house.
About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals and enjoy working with them. I’ve bathed, fed, walked, and played with the animals. I’m very trustworthy and my friends and family members rely on me with their pet care needs. I am a full time college student but I am flexible with my hours. I live 2 hours away when I’m not at school so I will go home for holiday breaks and the summer! My friends and family trust me to watch their pets and take them out on walks throughout the day. I have alot of pet experience and can do anything you ask of me!
About: Hello! I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years — including rescues, seniors, and pups with lots of energy! I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with feeding routines, meds, and special care needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I promise to keep you updated with cute pictures and messages throughout their stay. Your fur baby’s comfort and safety come first! 🐕✨ I am currently working part time. Which is Tues-Sat 4pm-11pm tho so I’m anytime free before then. & I am off every Sunday and Monday I rent a home with a fenced in backyard. I do currently have 2 dogs. (Chihuahua mixes and a heeler mix.) they are crate trained so if you’re more comfortable with them staying separated from your baby(ies) that is absolutely no problem, depending on the duration of the stay.
About: I’ve had all kinds of animals growing up. Dogs, horses, cats, goats, a parakeet or two, I love animals so much. I have a ton of dog experience from puppies to seniors. I also understand the anxiety of leaving your pets alone and the importance of having someone you can trust to care for your pets when you have to be away. I’ll take care of your pets like they are my own. I’m currently attending massage therapy school so I need a flexible option, but I’m free a lot of the time and don’t mind driving to different locations. I treat my pets like family because they are my family. I understand the value of our pets and will treat each one like they are my own.
About: With over 5 years of hands-on dog watching experience, I provide more than supervision I provide stability, attentiveness, and genuine care. Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and ages. From energetic puppies who need structured activity to senior dogs who thrive on a calm, predictable pace, I understand how important it is to adapt to each dog’s individual needs. What truly sets me apart is the balance I bring between structure and affection. Dogs feel most secure when their routine stays consistent, so I make it a priority to maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible. My daily routine typically includes on-time feedings, fresh water refresh, bathroom breaks, and exercise tailored to your dog’s energy level. Whether that means long walks, active play sessions, enrichment activities, or simply relaxed companionship, I adjust based on what your dog needs that day. Beyond the basics, I focus on mental stimulation and emotional well-being. I reinforce positive behaviors, engage in interactive play, and ensure your dog has both active time and calm downtime. I work overnight shifts during the week, and I dedicate my weekends fully to pet care. This allows me to provide focused, unrushed attention from Friday through Sunday. I intentionally keep my weekend availability open for pet sitting so I can give each pet consistent, quality care without overbooking. Weekend care includes structured routines with feedings, walks, playtime, enrichment, and calm companionship tailored to your pet’s needs. I make sure their schedule stays consistent and stress-free while you’re away. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep everything as normal and stress-free as possible. Pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I prioritize maintaining their routine, respecting their space, and creating a calm, consistent presence while you’re away.
About: I've helped take care of my fair share of family dogs throughout my childhood and have grown very fond of playing, caring, and overall taking care of the needs of dogs and a few senior dogs as well. I'm currently looking for any part time or Full-time pet sitting jobs available. (Ex: coming to a home periodically to walk feed and water dogs/pets, or longer term pet sitting where I stay at the owners home (overnight) to take care of pets everyday/night while owners are away for a few days/weeks.) Thanks to plenty of experience with my own pets and family pets I am very well prepared to take care of the average needs if cats, dogs, kittens/puppies, as well as senior animals/disabled pets that may need additional help and gentle care.
“Emalee saved the day! I was running late to get Goku out due to inclement weather and messaged Emalee at the last minute! Yay! She was able to cover his afternoon walk. Great job as always! Much appreciated!”

Communication is key, so I always keep owners updated with photos and notes to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Pet adventure guide with a talent for river walks, snack negotiations, belly rubs, and earning the trust of even the sassiest cats. I only care for one “pack” at a time, so your pets get my undivided attention and personalized care—whether they’re boarding with me or just stopping by for the day 💜 After a career shift, I found myself with more flexibility in my schedule—and I decided to dedicate that time to doing something I LOVE 🐾 Safety First, Shenanigans second! Since my yard is unfenced, outdoor time is always supervised. I use a 125-lb-rated ground lead or a long leash held securely in hand, and I prefer dogs to wear a harness while in my care. On walks, I’m always keeping an eye out for anything that may trigger, disturb or excite your pup and I use positive redirection when needed. I follow your pet’s routine and preferences as closely as possible to make transition of care easier.
About: Taking care of your animal will be my number one priority. I love animals, I will be more than attentive to their needs and accommodate anything you would like.

I’ve had animals my whole life so I know how to take care of dogs, I’ve had cats now for 5 years and kittens and it’s a handful but it has taught me so many things needed to be a perfect sitter! I love getting pets toys, and fancy food sometimes to spoil them so expect that (if it’s fone with the owner) of course. I can’t wait to meet you and your lovely pet!

About: I love animals. I have owned a horse, birds and fish. Although I never owned a dog or cat, Friends and family have always asked me to pet sit and I have always been more than happy to ablige. As a former letter Carrier, my favorite customers were four-legged. I am retired and want to stay active. Who can keep you more fit and active than a dog that is waiting for a walk-date? When I have dog sat, I usually go for multiple walks. I can walk all day. The dogs love it and it makes them tired. Animals need mental stimulation outside of their house or yard just like people. I try to find things to keep us both busy and happy.

“Bryan was amazing with my dog Jolly. He kept me updated sent pictures and everything I will definitely be booking him again and I definitely recommend him to everyone and anyone.. Thank you Bryan for the peace of mind while I was on vacation”
“Bridget is amazing. Our dog hates to stay anywhere without us. She wont eat. She just lays around and mopes. We planned a 10 day vacation and needed someone that knew how to take care of anxious dogs. We could not believe our luck when we found Bridget. She brought Shelly into her home and treated her like one of her own. She sent us updates and pictures daily. It felt like we dropped Shelly off at doggy camp. She was comfortable the first day there. She ate, played with the other dogs, went for walks, watched tv, and got lots oflove. It was such a relief! We will definitely be repeat clients.”
“Jeff’s house is well appointed for your fur babies. My babies enjoyed the freedom of the fenced in yard, and found their own places in his home. Jeff had a water bowl out for them and I thought that was neat. He was very observant of their time outside in the heat. Jeff goes over and above and keeps in great contact. He really “gets” our dog’s personality traits. No problems, no worries, just great service. Go with the best. Thanks, Jeff.”
“I could not have asked for a better person to take care of my Milo. Meet and greet went great and I had no reservations with leaving him there for the weekend. She sent pictures and videos all weekend that showed he was having a great time with her dogs and family. I really don’t think he wanted to come home!”
“Michelle and Christy were outstanding!! We received a text and pics every day and we could see that our little dogs were happy and comfortable staying with them. Our dogs were outside running with their dogs and living the good life while we were on vacation. The care and attention that our babies were given allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation knowing that they were in excellent hands. I would highly recommend Michelle and Christy to other pet parents!! 🥰”
“Louie had so much fun with Tami and her dogs Dolly and Bear! Tami has a wonderful backyard that the dogs got to play around in. Throughout our trip we knew Tami was taking great care of him sending lots of pics and updates! We know Louie can be challenging (he’s a very hyper puppy) but luckily he had Bear to play with. We highly recommend Tami and would definitely book with her again!”

Please message me so we can discuss your specific needs and availability! Hi, I’m Bee! I’m a medically retired police officer turned professional pet care provider. Pet care is my full-time work, not a side hobby. I take a calm, structured, safety-first approach and focus on low-stress care that allows pets to feel secure, respected, and comfortable. I have years of hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including seniors, rescues, anxious dogs, puppies, large breeds, and special-needs pets. ⸻ What I Offer • In-home dog boarding in a low-volume, structured environment • Structured dog daycare with supervised play and rest breaks • Drop-in visits for feeding, potty breaks, enrichment, and medications • Dog walks tailored to your dog’s comfort, energy level (must not pull heavily on leash) • Care for seniors, rescues, anxious, and special-needs dogs • Slow, intentional introductions and individualized care plans • Solo or one-on-one care options when appropriate for daycare and boarding • Real-time updates with plenty of photos and detailed written notes ‼️I do not provide boarding or daycare for cats, and I do not offer overnight stays in clients’ homes. ‼️Meet and Greets are mandatory to schedule any service. ‼️My two dogs, Trooper and Moose, will NOT be present for the meet and greet for boarding and daycare ‼️Dates are not reserved unless a deposit is prepaid in advance. ‼️Dogs must be crate trained to stay at Bee’s Bed and Barkfast daycare and boarding. This is a non negotiable for safety, feeding, rest and safe transitions. ‼️Boarding can be booked anytime, as long as the dates are within the next 3 months. I do not book out more than 3 months in advance. I am available generally anytime between sunrise and sunset. Due to a vision disability, I may occasionally need to adjust timing on very rainy days, and I do not drive after dark. If weather requires a schedule shift, I’ll always communicate in advance and ensure your pet still receives attentive, high-quality care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities.

“I can't imagine a better person to leave our Parker Boy with! Heather took the best care of our dog and sent pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease while we were apart from him. She made him feel like a part of the family and made sure to do whatever she could to make him comfortable. We would recommend Heather to anyone looking for a sitter for their furry friends!!”
“I would give 10 stars if it was an option. Mariah took AMAZING care of my sweet fur baby! She followed all instructions to the letter and stayed in touch with video and pictures. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing she was in wonderful capable hands. I just moved near by (15 mins). My previous sitter was amazing 🤩 but she is now 40 mins away! So it was a relief to find someone this wonderful near my home!”
“Noel and his family were wonderful. Everyone gave Tom love and affection. I have no doubt that he felt very well looked after. Every day she didn't hesitate to respond to my messages and send photos. It reassures us a lot when we know that our pet friends are in good hands.”
“Kristen was very responsive and thorough with her questioning of Zuko's preferences and needs. She followed up once a day as we agreed and it seemed like my doggo enjoyed his time there.”
