“Our pup had some stomach issues in our last stay. Hailey handled her like she was her own and took great care of her. She communicated what was going on. She knew we were worried. We trusted her and her advice. We are blessed to have Hailey in our lives to watch Miss Hazel when we cannot take her with us when we travel. Highly recommend Hailey!”
“Jocelyn did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our fur baby, Stetson, while we were out of town. It’s never easy leaving your dog behind, but she made the whole experience so much easier and stress-free. She kept us updated with tons of pictures and messages, which meant the world to us when we were really missing him. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats your pet like her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Jocelyn to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to watch their pup!”
“We have had a really bad experience in the past on river and we were really worried to try it again. We are so glad we did! We left our dog with Khanh for a night and she really put all our fears to rest. She sent us constant updates and pictures. She has every need of the dog well thought out. You can be assured your furry friend is in safe hands. Thankyou Khanh and I am looking forward to future visits!”
“I had an amazing experience with a caretaker who took great care of my cat. They provided a safe, loving environment and consistently sent me photos, which was a delightful touch. I highly recommend their exceptional service.”
“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!!”
“Leslee was easy to work with, keeps a good environment for pups, and was reliable. Our dog Daisy had lots of fun staying with her and bonded with her little family during our vacation! Will definitely book again!”
“Jenelle was absolutely fantastic. She sent me pics and videos and I could see that my little Maggie was doing great. I had never boarded a pet before and was really nervous. Jenelle put me at ease. I highly recommend her. Will definitely board with her again.”
“Amanda did such a great job caring for our dog, Millee. It’s never easy being away from your dog for a long period of time but she made the experience a breeze. She was very responsive & always gave me updates with pictures. She has 2 dogs of her own, a cat, & kids that were also there to give Millee all of the attention that she loves so much. She even took her on walks & gave her a bath before sending her back home which was not expected but very appreciated! I would highly recommend her and will be booking again in the future. Thanks Amanda you were awesome! :)”
“Alyssa was very nice and took care of our high energy husky mix (Jayda) while we were away. This was the first time having someone watch her other than my sister (who was the foster mom we got her from). Alyssa had several playmates that Jayda got along with and got to play a lot. She also found some new treats for us to try with Jayda. We got Jayda home and she seems tuckered out. Which is good. :-)”
About: Hey! I am a huge advocate for all dogs to be treated with dignity, love, and respect. For me this means providing a safe and secure environment for their needs, an insane amount of cuddles, daily exercise, and abiding to the rules given by their owners. I have had dogs all my life, and currently I have 2 wonderful dogs: Diggie- a 2yr old 75lb male Lab/Pittie mix who is neutered. Fozzie- a 1yr 30lb male mix who is neutered. I have 2 kids aged 3yrs and 11yrs who have both been taught how to act properly around dogs. I have a big fenced in yard that my dogs love to run around in and lots of toys. If I sound like the right fit for your pup to go to while you are away, I am so happy to meet them! I am home evenings Monday-Friday and all day on Saturdays and Sundays and would love to care for your pup! I do prefer if your fur baby is potty trained, but that being said- happy, excited, and nervous accidents happen and that is absolutely okay! :) I have a newly fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play. My dogs are very high energy and have loved playing with previous foster dogs. Just to be on the safe side, I will put your dog in a separate room/section to eat. When it comes to animals, they are family and I completely understand that a stranger watching them can be scary- I am more than happy to do a meet and greet with you and your fur baby/babies as well as send updates however often you would like during their stay.
“Did a wonderful job with the two pups. Sent lots of pictures and updates the entire time. Also was willing to watch them with a short notice. Will definitely recommend for anyone and will be using again in the future.”
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.
“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!!”
“Thanks to Faith we have a spot for our baby when we cant take her with. She was very helpful and gave us some great tips on order spray and leashes. Thanks so much to faith. Our baby loved her tike at her home”
“Brittany was AMAZING! Brownie felt right at home from the moment she entered her house! Brittany is incredibly knowledgeable, conscientious, and warm! Brittany has great communication skills and sent me pictures and insights each day while I was away! I was never concerned for my fur babies well being and highly recommend Brittany to anyone looking for animal care!”
“I'm so lucky to have found someone that loves my dog the way I love my dog. Birdie made quick friends with Bailey the Pug, and Daniel. Birdie had a great time staying the week and we'll be using Dan again!”
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.

“Heather is great with our 3 cats and when we come home we can tell they have been well taken care of! Heather is very communicative and even gave our girls a little Christmas gift! We will use Heather again!”
“Keri was great! She came within the suggested time and made sure our babies had food and water each time. She sent lots of pictures and even gave treats to our kitties. She was professional and great to our kitties!”
“I requested the drop in visits very last minute, but Aubry didn’t hesitate to help. My girls were happy and calm, giving me peace of mind during the extended part of my trip. She gives detailed updates of how the kitties are doing and great pictures too! I would absolutely recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Sara is an absolute angel - she was able to book last minute due to a personal emergency and did absolutely wonderfully with my 2 cats. Sara earned the trust of my shy girl who usually hides for anyone other than me. 1000% recommend if you are looking for someone who actually cares for your pets as if they were her own.”
“Samantha did a wonderful job caring for our 3 cats while we were on vacation! She even kept our escape artist cat from getting out. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Amanda was wonderful! I reached out short notice while I was out of town and my wife had a longer day at work than usual. She did a drop-in visit for our two dogs and everything went smoothly. We’d happily book again!”
“Very professional sitter; we had a short in person meeting before the appointments to go over my cats' feeding schedule and she was sure to send update pictures of them at each visit. Definitely would book her again!”
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.

“Outstanding! Kelsey did such an amazing job with our two cats. She went above and beyond. She sent numerous photos and updates and her work put us at ease the entire time we were on our trip. We highly recommend her!”
“Our cats loved her and she took extra time to water my garden for me as well. I could tell from our meet and greet she was a very sweet person that knew animals well and would treat them like her own. Thanks!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Jocelyn! We were out of state for a wedding and the communication and pictures were top notch! My dog loves her and I’ll be sure to use Jocelyn again in the future!”

I also have experience caring for rabbits, lizards, birds, and guinea pigs. I am willing to learn to care for just about any pet.

“We arrived and Khanh was ready to take on Gracie Mae. We set up her things in a back room as she had another bigger dog in the front, made us feel safe. Gracie Mae was fed and watered. When I arrived all of Gracie Mae items were packed up and ready to go. Gracie Mae must of had a fun time, she was sleepy and took a rest on the way home. Thank you Khanh.”
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.
“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: I've watched dogs and cats of friends, family and strangers on and off for the past 10 years. I have experienced with small to XL dogs, young and older! I’m a stay at home mom. Our boys are rarely home alone for more than a couple hours at a time, a couple days a week. I have a fenced yard and two boys that are ready to play. They have unlimited access to the yard, toys and water. We have a cat who is very friendly, but will most likely keep to himself.
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.
“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.”
“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!”

“Rachelle was wonderfully attentive and extremely helpful when our family needed help with Levi. She accommodated his needs and understood our scheduling needs. Her home and pups were extremely welcoming and Levi had a delightful day being loved and cared for by Rachelle and playing with her pack!”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat pets as members of the family, not just animals I’m watching. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, including shy or nervous dogs who need extra patience to build trust. I’m attentive to details, follow routines closely, and understand how important consistency is for a pet’s comfort and well-being. Because I care for my own dogs daily, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels and communicating concerns promptly. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting each pet’s individual needs and boundaries. My goal is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owners are away, and for owners to have peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving personalized care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have two dogs, so I’m used to feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, monitoring behavior, and making sure they get plenty of attention throughout the day. I also stay on top of things like cleaning up after them, maintaining their routine, and watching for any signs that something might be off. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so fitting pet care into my day feels very natural. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and playtime. I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I closely monitor their behavior, appetite, and energy levels and will follow any instructions regarding medications, dietary needs, or special care. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while they are in my care.
“Evee had an absolutely amazing time! Sami sent updates everyday and included pictures, I loved knowing my girl was well taken care of she got to go to the park, had lots of cuddles, and was visibly excited to see sami by day 3, would definitely book again and recommend to anyone!”
About: I am a loving dog person. I'm playful and energetic as well as fit to fill your dog's needs. I'm experienced with taking care and training of family's dogs over 17 years. Also great with all types of dogs all breeds, and animals in general. I'm available throughout most times of the night or day. I'm fit and athletic to keep up or work out your dog if need be. I understand the variety and diversity in dog breeds, their energy, and behavior so I can work with them to keep them happy and healthy. Most new dogs I meet warm up to me in just a matter of minutes. I hope you can consider me to walk, play, care, and sit for your dog. If you think my prices are too low or high, we can talk about it and adjust/modify it for you. I currently have lots of time throughout the day to feed and care for your pet. I may have appts. coming up and will try to fit you in. Your pet will be in a safe environment under a watchful eye. I rarely meet any pets don't feel safe or do not like me.
“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: I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, and I learned how to attentively take instructions when it came to the care of an animal. I have dealt with dogs and cats that have digestive issues, as well as knowing my way around taking care of (oral) medication. I am also used to dogs or cats that need daily exercise or some that are very energetic and need a lot of attention. Before moving to New Mexico, I had two dogs, and I was always keen on keeping them safe + well taken care of, but most importantly, checking that they were always happy and healthy. And I would be honored to take care of your pet in the same manner. Because I am searching for work, all of my time is dedicated to Rover at the moment. I am available every day of the week. I have a two bedroom apartment and two cats, so I cannot board any fur babies in my home unless you are absolutely sure they are okay around cats. On the other hand, I can guarantee that I will keep an eye on any pets I take care of in a client's home, as well as provide updates based on your preference!
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.

“Amanda was an outstanding dog walker. She was always on time, communicated openly and often, and was much loved by our dog Pico. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a walking companion for their four-legged friend.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands on experience caring for pups of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I currently have two amazing dogs of my own. Khloe is a resilient 11 year old that has overcome major medical challenges, including a leg amputation and daily medication routines, and Oakley is an energetic 2 year old who keeps life exciting! Because of my own dogs, I’m no stranger to giving medication (including injections), working with limited mobility or vision, and supporting senior pets with the extra care they need. Whether your dog is a bouncing puppy or a gentle senior, I’ll treat them like family with playtime and plenty of belly rubs. I’d love to help care for your furry friend while you’re away! I work second shift, so I’m available in the mornings and early afternoons to care for your pet! I also live very close to work and am able to run home on breaks to see my dogs. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure every dog gets the exercise and fresh air they need with daily walks, just like I do with my own pups. For dogs with limited mobility or who tire easily, I even have a wagon that I use to wheel them around so they can still enjoy the outdoors safely and comfortably, something I do often for my senior, three-legged dog. Inside my home, I provide a calm, structured environment. I have two crates available and can accommodate both crate trained dogs and those who prefer to free roam. I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine and personality so I can tailor their care, whether that’s sticking to a medication schedule, providing quiet time, or making sure they have plenty of play and affection. In a client’s home, I aim to follow your routines as closely as possible to keep your pup comfortable and stress free while you’re away. My top priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of your dog.

About: My love for animals runs deep in my core! I can get along with any type of critter, and am very willing to taking care of pets who may have special needs. I’ve grown up in a household that has at least 3 pets at a time in it, and I used to work on a warm with tons of different animals! I’m very lucky to have so many pets in my life b Pet care is something I do on the daily, considering that I have 4 dogs at my house, all of which possessing their own quirks and personality traits. Taking the pets out, feeding the pets, and just spending quality time with them is a regular part of my routine. I care for pets very attentively, making sure to feed them at the desired time, play with them as need be, and take them on walks when/where they need to go!
“Glen has been great to work with and my Sasha just loves him. She will lay by the door and wait for her buddy. He has been walking her daily for over a year now, never had a schedule conflict or a "No show", and if I had to adjust something I can almost always expect the return text to read "Ok sounds good". He is so easy to work with, very pleased with the service!”
About: I had dogs my whole childhood, and have had cats in adulthood. As a kid, I loved caring for and training our dogs, both basic commands and some fun tricks! I was responsible for letting them out when they needed, feeding them on time, playing with them, and taking them on walks. I wanted to be a dog trainer for years, and had a training manual I would study to know all the right actions and reactions for different situations and behaviors. I can't say I remember many specifics for training, but I definitely have plenty experience in basic care and play. As of right now, I am available all day on Sundays, and until 2pm all other days— perfect for midday walks or drop-ins while you're at work! I can provide basic care for both cats and dogs in their homes. I will feed, play, cuddle, walk, and even clean up after if necessary.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals from the age of 11 and up. I have about 10 years of experience pet sitting, walking and training, with all different sizes of dogs, cats and even some horses! I volunteered at taps for about a year and a half. I’ve always been a big animal lover for as long as I can remember, I treat every animal as if they were my own baby’s! I currently work a part-time job so I have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of your baby’s the only times I’m not available is past 6pm on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. I am very clean and respectful in other peoples homes most the people I’ve pet sat or dog walked for say they wouldn’t have even noticed I was there if there wasn’t things in the trash
“Did a great job with my 9 month old puppy! For her dog, walking service, took him on a nice walks, and was able to recognize when he was getting tired to give him a break. It was very attentive to his cues. Christina also provided lots of photos and detailed daily updates about how Bubs was doing. I would absolutely let her care for him again!”
“Keyonnah is so nice and is very responsive to my last minute requests. I’ll be having foot surgery soon and will be using her as my dog walker during recovery. Rina loves her!!!”
About: I have had dogs all my life. I have cared for them since they were puppies until their transition to the rainbow bridge. I love meeting other animals and hearing their stories. I would care for your pets like they were mine. I have a strange schedule and may not answer your email until the next morning, so please allow me time to reply before moving onto another sitter. My availability is open during the day after 9am until 9pm and weekends 8am to 10 or 11pm. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. I am currently off work and have many hours in the day to care for your four-legged family members. I could do daily or twice a day walking as needed. I have a fenced in yard that my 5 dogs enjoy. I have 2 dogs that free roam at home. My 2 boys are big barkers, but are dog friendly. I have the other two kenneled due to bad behaviors and the other dog is having mobility issues and I try to keep her safe in the kennel.
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 am a 4th grade teacher with summers off. I have a passion for walking and dogs. So this is perfect for me! I walk my 90 lb chocolate lab (quite energetic and happy) miles everyday around the neighborhood and hiking trails. He is a pretty reactive dog (all love) so I am skilled in knowing what a dog needs and how they are reacting to the external variables on a walk, and how to react to that. I would love to meet you and your animal best friend! I have the summer off, so I am available this summer. Once school gets back in session, weekend care would also be something I am interested in. I am mainly available for dog walking and/or taking care of your animal in your home. I have helped raise 3 puppies (now big dogs) throughout the past 8 years. I am very well aware of what the animal may need and how to react to that.
About: I am a Certified Pet Sitter-Dog Walker and insured and bonded. I've been taking care of animals most of my life. I've worked with animal shelters and transport teams to help get dogs to their forever home. My schedule is flexible, and I would love to fill my free time with caring for your pets. I know we all have busy schedules and sometimes are unable to give our pets our full attention. I'd like to help you with that so your pet can get all the attention they deserve. <3 Making sure your pets stay happy, healthy and safe in my care is my number one priority. When it comes to working in a client's home, I am always respectful of their house rules and routines.
About: I have been in love with cats and dogs for as long as I can remember! I grew up with 2 cats and 1 dog in my household as well as chickens, a bearded dragon, a turtle, fish, guinea pig, and a rabbit! Currently I have no animals but I still have the same amount of love for them! I have taken care of my friends and families animals and I’m always happy to meet some new animal friends!! 😍 I am currently a musician part time which means my schedule is flexible and I’m happy to visit your animals whenever is best for their schedule! I will happily send you picture and video updates for your animals! I love to play with them using their favorite toys and don’t mind spending some extra time for some snuggle sessions while I’m there :) I am a musician which means work comes and goes and I make my own schedule so I am extremely flexible and happy to visit whenever! We always had an "electric" fence for our dog which would gently vibrate her collar if she got out of the boundary. She was well trained and very attentive. Our cats were indoor cats and we made sure they knew they shouldn't try and get outside or on counters. The chickens and rabbit were fenced in outside in a giant chicken coop and since I was handling animals at a young age I am very familiar with how to gently care for them.

“Our pup had some stomach issues in our last stay. Hailey handled her like she was her own and took great care of her. She communicated what was going on. She knew we were worried. We trusted her and her advice. We are blessed to have Hailey in our lives to watch Miss Hazel when we cannot take her with us when we travel. Highly recommend Hailey!”
“Jocelyn did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our fur baby, Stetson, while we were out of town. It’s never easy leaving your dog behind, but she made the whole experience so much easier and stress-free. She kept us updated with tons of pictures and messages, which meant the world to us when we were really missing him. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats your pet like her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Jocelyn to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to watch their pup!”
“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!!”
“Jenelle was absolutely fantastic. She sent me pics and videos and I could see that my little Maggie was doing great. I had never boarded a pet before and was really nervous. Jenelle put me at ease. I highly recommend her. Will definitely board with her again.”
“Amanda did such a great job caring for our dog, Millee. It’s never easy being away from your dog for a long period of time but she made the experience a breeze. She was very responsive & always gave me updates with pictures. She has 2 dogs of her own, a cat, & kids that were also there to give Millee all of the attention that she loves so much. She even took her on walks & gave her a bath before sending her back home which was not expected but very appreciated! I would highly recommend her and will be booking again in the future. Thanks Amanda you were awesome! :)”
“Alyssa was very nice and took care of our high energy husky mix (Jayda) while we were away. This was the first time having someone watch her other than my sister (who was the foster mom we got her from). Alyssa had several playmates that Jayda got along with and got to play a lot. She also found some new treats for us to try with Jayda. We got Jayda home and she seems tuckered out. Which is good. :-)”
About: Hey! I am a huge advocate for all dogs to be treated with dignity, love, and respect. For me this means providing a safe and secure environment for their needs, an insane amount of cuddles, daily exercise, and abiding to the rules given by their owners. I have had dogs all my life, and currently I have 2 wonderful dogs: Diggie- a 2yr old 75lb male Lab/Pittie mix who is neutered. Fozzie- a 1yr 30lb male mix who is neutered. I have 2 kids aged 3yrs and 11yrs who have both been taught how to act properly around dogs. I have a big fenced in yard that my dogs love to run around in and lots of toys. If I sound like the right fit for your pup to go to while you are away, I am so happy to meet them! I am home evenings Monday-Friday and all day on Saturdays and Sundays and would love to care for your pup! I do prefer if your fur baby is potty trained, but that being said- happy, excited, and nervous accidents happen and that is absolutely okay! :) I have a newly fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play. My dogs are very high energy and have loved playing with previous foster dogs. Just to be on the safe side, I will put your dog in a separate room/section to eat. When it comes to animals, they are family and I completely understand that a stranger watching them can be scary- I am more than happy to do a meet and greet with you and your fur baby/babies as well as send updates however often you would like during their stay.
“Did a wonderful job with the two pups. Sent lots of pictures and updates the entire time. Also was willing to watch them with a short notice. Will definitely recommend for anyone and will be using again in the future.”
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.
“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!!”
“Thanks to Faith we have a spot for our baby when we cant take her with. She was very helpful and gave us some great tips on order spray and leashes. Thanks so much to faith. Our baby loved her tike at her home”
“Brittany was AMAZING! Brownie felt right at home from the moment she entered her house! Brittany is incredibly knowledgeable, conscientious, and warm! Brittany has great communication skills and sent me pictures and insights each day while I was away! I was never concerned for my fur babies well being and highly recommend Brittany to anyone looking for animal care!”
“I'm so lucky to have found someone that loves my dog the way I love my dog. Birdie made quick friends with Bailey the Pug, and Daniel. Birdie had a great time staying the week and we'll be using Dan again!”
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.
“Amy was wonderful to work with in watching our English Setter. She kept us posted regularly with how he was doing and he was obviously very comfortable in the pictures she shared! She was very helpful in working with us and making sure of his needs. Can’t say enough about the care Amy showed and we will be in touch with her for any future sitting needs. Thanks so much again Amy!”
“My pup seemed to really enjoy herself at Ava’s. Ava sent some photos of them playing in the yard and my pup tuckered out after. Ava did a great job taking care of her. I would book with Ava again.”
