Highly-rated overnight sitters - Madonnaville
“They were great with my dogs and my dogs can be a LOT. They provided me with daily updates. This was my first time using this service and I would definitely use them again.”
“Rowdy had a fantastic time! Rachel kept us updated with regular messages and shared a collection of vibrant pictures that captured all the fun moments. It was delightful to see how much joy Rowdy experienced through her snapshots. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a dog sitter who provides plenty of attention and excellent care for your furry friend!”
“Wow! Dave and Cindy were amazing with my pup Gunner. I had to find a sitter for a 10 day trip on a holiday weekend and it was so refreshing to know that he was in good hands the whole time. Gunner almost didn’t want to leave when I picked him up. I can’t recommend Dave and his sitting services enough. Top notch!”
“Monica was amazing! This was our first experience with using Rover and I cannot recommend Monica enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. She provided daily updates with pictures, she has a fenced yard and has room for them to play. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our two puppies were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Ashley wasted out Shepsky while we were on a float trip. She sent pictures. Jersey made herself right at home next to the chair. Her children played with her. Will definitely book her again.”
“I was so pleased with Jennifer, Sharon& Scott! I had to go out of town for a week and 2 of my cats need to be given medicine. They were able to take care of that, and they sent me twice daily detailed notes and videos and pics. It made it so much easier to be away from my kitties. I will definitely use their services again!”
“My puppy had so much with Laura. She sent pictures and updates every day. Laura responds very quickly to inquiries both before and during boarding. I have already booked another stay a few weeks from now. Very pleased with my first time using a dog sitter.”
“Our dog, Lucky, was very well taken care of. Believe he was disappointed to leave all the friends he made in his short stay. Lucky was bored being the only dog in our house. It took a couple of days and he's back to normal. We will use Sarah again for sure.”
“Great service! My dog Pompeii was well taken care of. He had loads of fun and was very active while being taken care of while I was out of town for my daughter's wedding. Great communication along with photo updates during his stay. Highly recommended!”
“Annie and family took excellent care of our dog Obi! She sent pictures and updates! We felt he was in great hands when we left him and we could tell he was a happy pup when came back to get him! Thank you Annie!”
“Very good with my nervous boy. She played with him and gave him the attention he needed! She was very familiar with his high energy breed which made me more comfortable about it!”
“Olive loved her stay with Songyuan! He sent us a lot of photos/updates, was very quick to reply, and the most important, we knew Olive was very well cared for. We will absolutely have Olive return on our next trip away. Thank you so much!!!”
“Another excellent stay for Bella with Jessica! This is our 2nd stay with her, but it won’t be our last! I really appreciate all of the photos that Jessica sends - this greatly alleviates any stress of leaving our fur baby. You can tell that Jessica takes care to make a comfortable environment for the pets she watches and ensures they get plenty of exercise and love.”
“Davey has been excellent with Clifford! He's been a lifesaver for me while I'm going through a difficulty and am needing some last-minute dog boarding. Clifford is excited when he gets to go back and seems to be very well taken of! I would definitely recommend Davey to my friends/family!!”
“This was my first time boarding with Ashley and she will definitely be my first choice in the future. I have an elderly Pug that has very little sight and limited hearing and Ashley took wonderful care of him. She kept me updated on how my two guys were doing and was very good about sending pics. I highly recommend Ashley.”
“It doesn’t get any better than the amazing service that Pete and Amy provide. I was blown away at how much they go above and beyond not only for the pets but the pet owners. I was sleepy when I dropped Nova off and asked if a gas station was nearby to get coffee and Pete made me an espresso right then. I didn’t even have to msg to ask about Nova because they sent pics and videos and updates before I even had to ask. You can tell immediately that they are just genuine people and they really care about the animals and are very passionate about what they do. They provided an amazing place for Nova to stay the weekend and I was able to relax and enjoy my little weekend trip knowing that Novs was in the best care. They do special little activities with them and I could just go on and on. I hope that they are available next time I need a sitter for Nova because they provide exceptional service. They sent her home with the most amazing picture of her and a hand written note that was very touching. I would recommend them to everyone.”
“Brandy was AMAZING. Winnie had never been away from us. He is part husky so he can be a talker and the first night he howled and barked, but she said all was good so we were able to leave town with the peace of mind that Winnie had found his second person 😊. She sent updates and pictures. I can’t say enough good things.”
“Misty did a fantastic job watching my two dogs, she made them feel like they were a part of her family. They were also given baths right before I picked them up which was an added surprise but a very nice extra. I highly recommend Misty for your pet care needs, you can feel comfortable leaving your fur babies with her!”

“Samantha was amazing! She watched our cat and turtle for almost a week while we were away and sent images and updates every visit. We will definitely be re-booking her the next time we need a sitter :)”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 4 years now and I love all animals! I can do puppies all the way to senior pets and I have no problem with any breeds! I also love reptiles and rodents if you have any in addition to dogs or cats, i’d happily do anything you need me to do for them! I am a college student at siue but I still have a super flexible schedule and i have a lot of free time to hang out with pets! i’ve grown up with pets all my life and even worked at a doggy daycare in my hometown so i’d love to be there for pets who don’t like daycares and prefer to stay in their own space. Also, weather doesn’t bother me so i’ll walk your pet in rain or shine!
“Latasha looked after our kitty (Lazare) and house for a week in July. She was very professional and courteous. She took the time to write down instructions on our meet and greet. Lazare loved her! I appreciated her communication and photos and she also took good care of the house and plants. I wholeheartedly recommend Latasha.”
About: I’ve lived with cats for at least a year, and I’ve pet sat some a few times before, the very earliest being in high school. I am familiar with cat temperament and have good knowledge of how to take good care of one.
“Having a total care senior dog can be extremely stressful when planning a trip out of town. My dogs used to be road trip champs but unfortunately due to old age and one handicap, they have to stay behind. From the moment Mason came for a meet and greet both dogs greeted him and were calm and happy in their presence. Masons confidence and willingness to care for my total care senior dog was a relief. I was able to go out of town for 5 days with a peace of mind knowing that they were not only well taken care of but happy as well. I highly recommend him for all your doggie needs.”
“Diane is a great sitter and our two boys love it when she stops by. Even our most shy kitty, who doesn't like outsode people, loves to play and even accepts pets sometimes.”
“Emily was great in coming to check-in on Leo a little short notice due to a trip I was on and some changes in plans in who was checking on him. As always Emily was super communicative and helpful 😊 I am so glad she was available to watch him.”
“First time using Rover and Liam isn’t used to strangers so we were both a bit nervous. Punctual; being right on time for the scheduled appointments, responsive with great communication and regular updates. The photos are a nice touch and helpful. Exceeded expectations. Thank you.”
About: Purr-fectly matched for your feline friends! I understand that cats thrive on routine and often prefer a familiar environment over a boarding facility. Whether your kitty is highly social and loves interactive wand toys, or is a bit shy and prefers to observe from a distance, I respect their boundaries. I am highly experienced with low maintenance kitties and special needs alike to keep your cat healthy and happy.
About: My journey started over a decade ago with my first domestic shorthair, Queenie—and she truly was a queen! She showed me how amazing, fierce, and beautiful cats are, and taught me that every single cat has their own unique, wonderful personality just like people. Five years later, I got my Japanese Akita, Simba, who I love so much. Whether your pet is a cuddly kitty that enjoys their space or a big, playful pup, I love learning who they are and giving them the tailored, expert care and affection they deserve!
About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a full-time professional pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals isn’t a side job for me, it’s full time job and passion! One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that I do this full-time, which means your pets receive far more attention, companionship, and supervision than they would with sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs or are in and out all day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches of the day, and their comfort, safety, and routine will always be my top priority. I have professional experience working in daycare and boarding environments, including Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone. Through that experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications (both oral and injections), handling puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets, and recognizing signs that a pet may be stressed, anxious, or unwell. When I watch your babies, they aren’t just another booking. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they deserve. You’ll receive tons of pupdates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. My goal is to become the sitter you can rely on whenever you need help, a trusted person who treats your pets like family and provides the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own! I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!🐶🐾 Rover is my full time job at the moment so my schedule is very open to give your pet the proper time and attention they deserve. How I care for your fur baby is completely contingent on the owner. I follow all guidelines they have set in place whatever those may be. But you can trust they are always in the best of hands.
About: I used to pet-sit. Worked at a day-care a while ago. I've worked and interacted with all types of dogs. I enjoy what I do. I actually get really excited when working with dogs. I know they're a lot to handle sometimes but I feel like they're great fun to work with and they always make me feel better. My favorite types of dogs include Boxers, Miniature Schnauzers, Miniature Pinschers. I like all dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am really into playing fetch with dogs. I also don't mind playing with rope toys. They might tear my arms off but hey! It builds character! I'm very easy-going and I feel like with dogs you have to have a great sense of humor and enjoy the trade in order to work with them. I hope you consider me for some of your services. I look forward to chatting with you over the phone, internet, or in person! Also, I have a lil black Maltipoo who's 3 and his name is Beau. We call him Bobo, but he's my pride and joy and a very special boy. I have pretty much open availability except during evening hours usually from 5-9pm bc that's when I have classes, but I am comfortable doing overnight visits and morning/afternoon walks I have a decent amount of space for a dog to roam in my place. However, I need to express the importance of my dog being present if you leave him with me. My dog wouldn't hurt a fly and he's super friendly and calm but I want my pet and your pet to feel safe around each other. We've yet to introduce Beau to cats so I am not sure how he would respond, but my assumption is he's very gentle so long as the cat is used to being around other dogs. If you want me to watch the pets at your place, all I ask is that you provide me with instructions on what to do and what not to do. I can upload photos and you can shoot me texts if you want updates on your little ones—or big ones, depending on the size of your pup, lol.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats over the last few years for neighbors, family and friends. I help with feeding, walking, and taking them to appointments. I'm am currently available part time nights, overnight and weekends to help take care of your four legged family. I can come to your home to help. I currently have two cats at home. I have watched my family members dogs while they go on trips for days to weeks. I am very trustworthy.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Madonnaville
“I am so happy to have found Ashley! I felt/feel confident that Gloria had a fun day with her “friends” while we were out. She came home calm and content after a day of running around like a puppy should. We will be boarding soon as well, and I’m glad to know our puppy is in amazing care while we travel.”
“Haley is wonderful, always giving me details as my little man's anxiety around new people and places lessens every day. As soon as I met her and her children I knew that they'd have a calming influence on him. So glad I found her!!”
“Chico, my elderly Chihuahua, went to doggie daycare with Amy in Columbia for a couple of hours while I met friends for lunch. Amy has such a wonderful way with animals; you can tell she really loves watching them. She took lots of photos, have Chico lots of attention and even had a pet guestbook for him to sign. Such a cute idea. If you ever need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Amy.”
About: I had my own personal dogs for over 20 years in total but do not currently have any pets. As my schedule allows, I help out with short-term fostering for a rescue that I adopted two of my dogs from. All 3 of my dogs ended up with health issues in their old age so I have plenty of experience giving medications, feeding special diets, assisting with mobility issues, etc. Because my boy was dog reactive, I became a master at 'crate/gate/separate' when fostering while he was alive. However, I intend to only sit animals that are from the same home at one time so the animals do not face any restrictions needing to avoid animals they do not live with. I work from home (day job) so I will be around most of the time during the care dates with the exception of any planned events outside of the home (which likely would not be more than a few hours at a time). I have a fenced yard (4 feet) for quick potty breaks (I do not leave dogs unattended in my yard). For walks, I can use a double leash/collar if needed for extra security. I do have a shared fence line with a neighbor dog that is reactive so, when needed, I run a line of chicken wire to keep dogs in my yard from being able to reach that fence. The neighbor’s dog is my primary reason for marking ‘no’ to un-spayed/neutered. I don’t leave any dogs I watch unattended in my back yard but he’s a Cane Corso that’s not neutered and my fence is only 4ft tall so I figured better safe than sorry.
About: Hello! My name is Nicki and I currently have two cats named Gertie and Sky. I rescued both of them when they were little kittens. They live like queens and are super active and not shy at all. Growing up I had multiple animals over the years. We had two horses, 3 dogs, cats, fish and birds. I’ve always treated my animals like family members because that is what they are. My dog passed away this past fall after 13 years of the best life ever. I love dogs and cats but especially with dogs I love to walk and run with them. My cat Gertie is fearless like a dog and walks on her leash about 3 houses down and then she is done. Ask me questions about how I can help you! I look forward to taking care of your pet! Currently I am taking pet sittings for any day. I will stay at your home like a normal day at home and run errands as usual. I love the checklist care along with my normal instinct care. Just a easy list of amount of food, medicine or anything particular that needs to happen and then I will take care of the cuddles and care.
About: So I just love dogs. I have had dogs my whole life and will never not have one. I work from home and am very physically active so my lifestyle works well with dogs as I am around to simply hang out with the dogs or go on long walks if needed! Luckily I work from home as an attorney and am able to provide many walks and attention throughout the day. I also live in an area with a lake and multiple dog parks. I am extremely attentive with any dogs that I take care of. I will provide sitting with care and attention and make sure your dog is safe and taken care of.
About: I’ve cared for a variety of dogs and cats — for friends, family, and many clients through Rover — over the past decade. I take pride in providing attentive, detail-oriented, and scientifically informed care to ensure your pets are happy and healthy. I am a physician research fellow completing a research fellowship at WashU, where I primarily work from home with a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide frequent attention, walks, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I only need to be away one afternoon each week for clinic, so your pet will receive plenty of care and companionship. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of individual attention. In my home, pets have access to a dedicated indoor playroom that opens directly onto a spacious backyard, providing a safe and comfortable space to relax and play. There is also a large fenced play area approximately 300 yards from my backyard where dogs can enjoy additional exercise and outdoor time. I maintain a clean, safe environment and provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Ruthie was great with my deaf little puppy. He is afraid of other dogs but she was sweet and patient and he accepted the others. Her dog Ginger is the sweetest little cuties! Will book again!”
About: I grew up around dogs working at a grooming shop and love animals! My children are older. They are 21 and 18 and loves animals as well! I do wfh. I’m available during the week and weekends as well. I do have a Pom-a-Poo, Brooklyn and a cat, Milo. They are sweet and loving! I enjoy on nice days taking dogs to the dog park, walks on trails, or through my neighborhood. I do not have a fenced in yard but will take them outside on a leash frequently. I have dog sat for friends and family numerous of times so thought I’d expand and help other people so they feel like their beloved animal is taken care of and in good hands while they are away! I have plenty of time to play with your pups and available pretty much 7 days a week! During the day someone is generally always home. I have a fenced in yard. I also ask if your dog is crated to bring your crate as well. I feed them on the schedule you provide and walks as well I am currently working from home and available to maintain any schedule or routine as needed to ensure dog/puppy day to day in minimally disrupted I have a fenced in yard and make sure I do not leave out items they can get into or harmful to ensure their safety
About: I bring years of hands-on experience in animal care, including working as a behavior modification dog trainer and spending many years in veterinary medicine. This background allows me to understand not only canine behavior, but also health, safety, and early signs of medical concerns. I’m highly enthusiastic about canine fitness and nutrition, and I tailor care to each dog’s individual needs, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, calm, attentive care, I provide a safe, knowledgeable, and compassionate experience. Your pet’s well-being—both physical and mental—is always my top priority. I’m home full-time, so boarded dogs receive constant supervision, structure, and individualized care. My days are centered around caring for dogs, which allows me to safely manage multiple boarding dogs with different needs, energy levels, and routines. Each dog receives a balanced routine of exercise, enrichment, and rest in a calm, structured environment. I closely monitor behavior, maintain safe group dynamics, and provide plenty of one-on-one attention to ensure every dog feels secure and comfortable during their stay. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I maintain a structured, calm household designed to meet the needs of a wide range of dogs. I have multiple separate rooms available for dogs who do not do well with other animals, allowing them to relax comfortably without stress. For dogs who enjoy social time, there is plenty of space for safe interaction and movement. I require dogs to be crate trained overnight or reliably potty trained with an established routine, which helps ensure safety, cleanliness, and consistency for everyone in my care. My home includes a secure, fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and play. While structure is an important part of my household, dogs also enjoy playtime, enrichment, and appropriate freedom based on their individual needs and comfort level. With my experience and environment, I provide a safe, attentive, and well-managed space where dogs can feel secure and well cared for.
“If you are a super picky dog parent like me, you will not trust your babies to just anyone looking to make a few extra bucks while you're away. Wendy's home is dog friendly with plenty of fresh clean water, comfortable furniture, baby gates to prevent door-dashing, and a well maintained HUGE secure fenced back yard with plenty of room for your dogs to run and explore! She is a wonderful pet parent, and her personal dogs are very well socialized, loved and cared for. 5 stars from this dog mom!”
“Melissa was phenomenal. She took FENWAY with short notice, so I could take my kids on some adventures on our way thru the city as we drove home from a camping trip. She sent me pictures, and Fenway slept most the way home, so I could tell she had a good time”
“Walter and his wife have been so great with my dog! Kenai loves going over there for the day. They have made Kenai a welcome member in their home and even take him out for walks. They’re also understanding of my changing schedule when it comes to early drop offs and different pickup times. I really appreciate them!”
About: My wife and I are a dedicated pet-loving team who will treat your pets like family. I’ve cared for animals my entire life, and my wife is a trained veterinarian with over 10 years of experience in Mexico. She’s currently working as a vet tech as she works towards the ECFVG certification which will allow her to practice as a veterinarian here in the U.S., bringing a deep understanding of animal health and behavior to every visit. We currently share our home with 3 dogs, 1 cat, 9 chickens, and 2 turkeys—so we’re no strangers to pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just someone patient and kind, you can trust that they’ll be in safe, experienced hands with us. I work from home full-time, so your pet will have plenty of companionship and care throughout the day. I’m often outside with our own dogs, so your pet will enjoy lots of fresh air, playtime, and supervision. My wife works four days a week but is home in the mornings and afternoons, so between the two of us, someone is almost always around to give your pet the attention they need. Whether your dog loves being active or just relaxing with company, they’ll feel right at home here. Your pet’s safety is our top priority. We have a fenced backyard where smaller dogs can roam safely. For larger dogs, we use a secure tie-out cable system to give them outdoor time while keeping them safely contained. Inside the home, we can easily separate pets if needed—our basement and main living area are fully divided, making it simple to create calm, stress-free environments for each animal. Our chickens and turkeys are kept in a fully enclosed outdoor coop, well away from visiting pets, so there’s no risk of unwanted interactions. You can trust that your pet will be cared for in a safe, secure, and attentive environment
“Damica was awesome! She's professional and friendly. She took care of our dog for a few hours and during that time, she kept us up to date with how our puppy was doing. Very much recommend Damica and will definitely use her services the next time we visit St. Louis with Mookie!”
“I’m so grateful for Laura and her family. She was incredibly flexible from start to finish, and my dog is completely worn out—in the best way! Laura gave her all the attention I couldn’t, and I couldn’t be more thankful.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Madonnaville
About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time caring for them, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that pets are family, so I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own. What sets me apart is that I truly care about making pets feel happy, relaxed, and cared for, not just watched. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether that means lots of playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply giving them a calm environment where they feel secure. I also know how important communication is, so I make sure owners feel comfortable with updates and pictures while they’re away. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel completely at ease and confident in the care they’re receiving. I am currently home from college for the summer, I am available at almost any time! I do not typically work after 10 PM but can work something out if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime, and feel safe while their owners are away. I also understand that being in their own home helps many pets feel more relaxed and secure. I’m respectful of each client’s home and follow all care instructions carefully, including walks, medications, crate routines, bedtime routines, or any special needs. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I can play with them, pick up after them, bathe them and make sure they’re happy and well fed. And I can take the dog on short or long walks and make sure they’re happy and safe. Also for house sitting I’ll make sure the house is clean and any messes the dog makes is cleaned up as well I’m a student at an online university, but I am taking a break from perusing my BS in forensic accounting. So I have plenty of time to watch your pets. I have two dogs that I take care of with my family. And they are well cared for and I play with them throughout the day and feed them when they need to be fed.
About: I used to foster dogs. My yard is pretty big and I have a doggie door. My dogs do not mind visitors. I am off work during the summer and all major holidays. I am a teacher so I am off for the summers. When school is in session, I get off early and I am usually home before 4pm. I have a fenced in yard that can be accessed by a doggie door. I have 3 small dogs. I walk them and play with them on a regular basis. I also have 2 cats.
About: I’ve taken care of animals as small as rats and fish ranging to livestock since I was young! I have had all myself and they’ve all been spoiled and happy as long as I’m around. Your pets will be able to tell I’m an animal person and you’ll be relived to go away as your pets will be in great hands! I’m currently working part time at horse stables and still have plenty of time to go spend time home to care for my fur babies and my bigger outside babies lol. My life is technically revolves around my pets care and my part time job is taking care of huge animals that need extra attention, and before this I worked on a diary farm taking care of even bigger animals. at home I make do , I have a huge yard out in the country, I can use the electric collar if needed, leash, or off leash with recall as I do have a horse on the property and another dog and outside cats who they may chase. Any clients home I do the job I came to do and then I do anything extra to make the client feel as if I didn’t just do my job and actually enjoyed and felt comfortable with their pet taking a picture video giving treats extra pets and cuddles etc…
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 9 years old. I’ve been taking care of them ever since! I have been watching other dogs since I was a teenager. I’ve pet sat a good variety of dogs, from border collies to labs and teeny little Pomeranian mixes! I have a good deal of availability during the summer, so my schedule is very flexible! I teach private lessons on Monday and Friday afternoons for a couple hours, otherwise my other jobs provide me a good deal of flexibility, so that I can pet set as much as possible! At my home our dogs have an electric fence, and have been properly trained not to cross the invisible line. I have also lived in areas where dogs are fenced in, and even with neither type of fence and just a long chain attached to the ground. Regardless I will take care of your pet regardless of the outdoor situation. I am pretty physically fit, so I can carve out some good time to take them on walks, long or short! I follow your instructions to the T when it comes to specific needs and potty/bed times. I will come to you and do whatever needs to be done to make sure your pet is happy and safe!

About: Hi! I'm a K-1 reading teacher with 5 years of teaching experience, and I'm looking forward to spending my summer helping care for your pups! As a teacher, I am dependable, responsible, and patient. I've had dogs my entire life and have spent years walking and pet sitting for friends and family. I currently have a Miniature Pinscher named Pinot, who is my whole world, so I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your dog like family. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or companionship, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Since I'm currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a teacher currently on summer break, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. My own dog, Pinot, is a big part of my everyday life, so walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of affection are already built into my day. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, making pet care something I genuinely look forward to each week rather than just another task. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help their pet feel comfortable and secure. Whether I'm stopping by for a potty break, feeding, playtime, or a walk, I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I always prioritize safety, follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, and keep them updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they're away.
About: Hi my name is Diane, and I have been caring for dogs, cats, fish and birds most of my life. I will care for your precious babies just like my own. They will receive professional care, love, attention and affection. This is my full time job, if you can call it that. It's a blessing. I have a nice yard and field for walks, and a large covered deck for outside play time in severe weather. I only take one family's pets at a time. So, your babies will get plenty of quality attention and companionship. My home is pet friendly and all safety precautions have been implemented. Your companions will be kept separate from my own for the safety of both parties. I am also comfortable and experienced taking care of special needs pets that might require medications to be administered or other accommodations. I now have a bedroom designated for cats. It has a king size bed and lots of windows for bird watching. I only book one family's cat or cats at a time. I have excellent reviews and references. Thank you for your consideration. This is my full time job. A labor of love. So, caring for your companions will be my top priority. You can feel confident and secure while they're in my care. I will accommodate your companions needs and your requests. All pets are kept safe and attended to at all times. I am trustworthy and reliable.
About: I’ve grown up around rescued misunderstood breeds so I know how important quality care for your pet‘s personality can be. I’ve been taking care of family and friends pets since I was 12, as well as volunteered at local shelters. I’m currently in school and looking for a job that allows me to spend my free time at home so my schedule is completely free. I live in a dog-friendly apartment that included a dog park. I have my own 3 year old cocker spaniel that I rescued last year who super laidback and well trained. I have a very large crate that would be comfortable for nearly any breed if needed, but it being summer I have no need to leave your pet unattended for long.
About: Hello! I'm Sydney! I'm 29 years old. I have been watching many dogs for the last 12 years. I love animals. They are my passion. I'm very energetic, so I can walk or play with your dog for hours. I treat each dog equally and will never let a dog feel left out. I'm available basically anytime. I'm very reliable, respectful, caring, and friendly. I have watched puppies all the way to larger dogs. I've watched Yorkies, Shiz-Tu, Black Labs, Pit Bulls, Great Danes, and German Shepherds, etc. I also work with dogs and cats at a kennel! :) Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my bio! I would love to watch your furry friends. Thank you so much! I currently work full-time at a dog kennel! My hours are super flexible, so I’m able to come in the morning, lunch time, and night time to care for your pet! :) If I’m staying at a clients home, I take them out 3-5 times daily, I walk them, play fetch with them in the backyard! Typically can do whatever the client wants me to do :)
About: I used to pet-sit. Worked at a day-care a while ago. I've worked and interacted with all types of dogs. I enjoy what I do. I actually get really excited when working with dogs. I know they're a lot to handle sometimes but I feel like they're great fun to work with and they always make me feel better. My favorite types of dogs include Boxers, Miniature Schnauzers, Miniature Pinschers. I like all dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am really into playing fetch with dogs. I also don't mind playing with rope toys. They might tear my arms off but hey! It builds character! I'm very easy-going and I feel like with dogs you have to have a great sense of humor and enjoy the trade in order to work with them. I hope you consider me for some of your services. I look forward to chatting with you over the phone, internet, or in person! Also, I have a lil black Maltipoo who's 3 and his name is Beau. We call him Bobo, but he's my pride and joy and a very special boy. I have pretty much open availability except during evening hours usually from 5-9pm bc that's when I have classes, but I am comfortable doing overnight visits and morning/afternoon walks I have a decent amount of space for a dog to roam in my place. However, I need to express the importance of my dog being present if you leave him with me. My dog wouldn't hurt a fly and he's super friendly and calm but I want my pet and your pet to feel safe around each other. We've yet to introduce Beau to cats so I am not sure how he would respond, but my assumption is he's very gentle so long as the cat is used to being around other dogs. If you want me to watch the pets at your place, all I ask is that you provide me with instructions on what to do and what not to do. I can upload photos and you can shoot me texts if you want updates on your little ones—or big ones, depending on the size of your pup, lol.
About: I currently have 2 dogs and have had dogs my whole life. Both of my dogs are very high energy so I am used to keeping them busy. My male dog is 3 years old and he requires a lot of love and attention. He is great with kids and other animals. My female dog is 6 years old and she's a very anxious girl. She prefers to be the only pet but is extremely affectionate with people. I have experience with small and large dogs from puppy to elderly. I am comfortable feeding, grooming, walking, and caring for your pets. My availability is flexible. I am willing to stay at the owners home so the dogs feel safe in a familiar area. I am available for daily walks or extended stays. I have experience with special feeding and medication routines for pets if needed. I also have experience caring for more than one pet in the same home that are on different schedules or need to be kept away from another pet in the home. I will treat you fur baby like my own and they will be well cared for! I'm currently in the process of going back to school so I am not working a scheduled job right now. My availability is flexible. I'm available for daily check ins and walks. I'm also available for extended or overnight care throughout the week and all weekend. I will do all of my care at the client's home per the client's instructions on their pets needs and will provide care in the way the client specifically wants their pet cared for. My availability is open and very flexible! I can take last minute requests, overnight stays any day of the week, can stop in multiple times a day to check on your pet if needed. I will do my best to accommodate any situation and make sure to take great care of your dog/cat! I will give your pet lots of love and attention! I will make sure to follow any instructions or requests while I am caring for your pet(s). I like to send daily pictures and updates to give you piece of mind while you are away. I always keep notes with your normal routine with your pet as well as any other information I need to know while caring for them. Before caring for your pet(s) I like to spend some time with them during a meet and greet because it is extremely important to see how your dog or cat responds to me before I am hired to care for them. Being a dog mom myself I would want to see how my dog responds to someone before I made the decision to hire them. Your pet(s) safety, comfort and wellbeing are my top priority when caring for them!

“Rowdy had a fantastic time! Rachel kept us updated with regular messages and shared a collection of vibrant pictures that captured all the fun moments. It was delightful to see how much joy Rowdy experienced through her snapshots. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a dog sitter who provides plenty of attention and excellent care for your furry friend!”
“Wow! Dave and Cindy were amazing with my pup Gunner. I had to find a sitter for a 10 day trip on a holiday weekend and it was so refreshing to know that he was in good hands the whole time. Gunner almost didn’t want to leave when I picked him up. I can’t recommend Dave and his sitting services enough. Top notch!”
“Monica was amazing! This was our first experience with using Rover and I cannot recommend Monica enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. She provided daily updates with pictures, she has a fenced yard and has room for them to play. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our two puppies were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Ashley wasted out Shepsky while we were on a float trip. She sent pictures. Jersey made herself right at home next to the chair. Her children played with her. Will definitely book her again.”
“My puppy had so much with Laura. She sent pictures and updates every day. Laura responds very quickly to inquiries both before and during boarding. I have already booked another stay a few weeks from now. Very pleased with my first time using a dog sitter.”
“Our dog, Lucky, was very well taken care of. Believe he was disappointed to leave all the friends he made in his short stay. Lucky was bored being the only dog in our house. It took a couple of days and he's back to normal. We will use Sarah again for sure.”
“Great service! My dog Pompeii was well taken care of. He had loads of fun and was very active while being taken care of while I was out of town for my daughter's wedding. Great communication along with photo updates during his stay. Highly recommended!”
“Annie and family took excellent care of our dog Obi! She sent pictures and updates! We felt he was in great hands when we left him and we could tell he was a happy pup when came back to get him! Thank you Annie!”
“Very good with my nervous boy. She played with him and gave him the attention he needed! She was very familiar with his high energy breed which made me more comfortable about it!”
“Olive loved her stay with Songyuan! He sent us a lot of photos/updates, was very quick to reply, and the most important, we knew Olive was very well cared for. We will absolutely have Olive return on our next trip away. Thank you so much!!!”
“Another excellent stay for Bella with Jessica! This is our 2nd stay with her, but it won’t be our last! I really appreciate all of the photos that Jessica sends - this greatly alleviates any stress of leaving our fur baby. You can tell that Jessica takes care to make a comfortable environment for the pets she watches and ensures they get plenty of exercise and love.”
“Davey has been excellent with Clifford! He's been a lifesaver for me while I'm going through a difficulty and am needing some last-minute dog boarding. Clifford is excited when he gets to go back and seems to be very well taken of! I would definitely recommend Davey to my friends/family!!”
“This was my first time boarding with Ashley and she will definitely be my first choice in the future. I have an elderly Pug that has very little sight and limited hearing and Ashley took wonderful care of him. She kept me updated on how my two guys were doing and was very good about sending pics. I highly recommend Ashley.”
“It doesn’t get any better than the amazing service that Pete and Amy provide. I was blown away at how much they go above and beyond not only for the pets but the pet owners. I was sleepy when I dropped Nova off and asked if a gas station was nearby to get coffee and Pete made me an espresso right then. I didn’t even have to msg to ask about Nova because they sent pics and videos and updates before I even had to ask. You can tell immediately that they are just genuine people and they really care about the animals and are very passionate about what they do. They provided an amazing place for Nova to stay the weekend and I was able to relax and enjoy my little weekend trip knowing that Novs was in the best care. They do special little activities with them and I could just go on and on. I hope that they are available next time I need a sitter for Nova because they provide exceptional service. They sent her home with the most amazing picture of her and a hand written note that was very touching. I would recommend them to everyone.”
“Brandy was AMAZING. Winnie had never been away from us. He is part husky so he can be a talker and the first night he howled and barked, but she said all was good so we were able to leave town with the peace of mind that Winnie had found his second person 😊. She sent updates and pictures. I can’t say enough good things.”
“Misty did a fantastic job watching my two dogs, she made them feel like they were a part of her family. They were also given baths right before I picked them up which was an added surprise but a very nice extra. I highly recommend Misty for your pet care needs, you can feel comfortable leaving your fur babies with her!”
“Tim did an amazing job taking care of our puppy! He was very communicative and gave us updates daily. Tim was very nice and Gabby had a great time. We will definitely use him in the future!”
“We cannot recommend Sarah enough! From the moment she met our dog, she was patient, calm, and deeply knowledgeable. While we were away for over a week, we received daily photo updates and detailed texts that gave us total peace of mind. Our dog most definitely got more attention and pampering than she does at home:) When we came home, our pup was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-cared for. We look forward to using Sarah on our next trip! Thank you, Sarah!!”
