“As a first-time Rover user and a nervous dog mom, I was hesitant to leave Banjo with anyone, especially since we just adopted him from a shelter. However, Jenelle completely exceeded my expectations. She was incredibly thoughtful and even suggested a meet-and-greet before the stay to make sure Banjo would be comfortable. She showed such patience and care with him, especially since he’s a shy and nervous dog. Throughout our trip, Jenelle kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which really helped ease my worries. Banjo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time with Jenelle and her own dogs. I think he was a little upset that we were taking him home because he had so much fun!! We’re so grateful for her wonderful care and will absolutely be leaving Banjo with her for all our future trips. Highly recommend!!”
“Melissa was extremely responsive with our request for boarding our two pups. We were coming into town for a conference and she readily accepted them into her home. While she had 4 of her own dogs, she was able to set things up so that our dogs felt comfortable during their 2 night stay. We really enjoyed working with Melissa and her family and they took great care of our babies!”
“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!!”
“Chelsey was very attentive to our dogs and kept us posted on how they were doing daily. They had a lot of fun playing with her dog as well. She has a fenced yard they enjoyed. They were very well cared for while we were out of town. I would definitely recommend her for dog care.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Buttercup while we were away this weekend. She was kind, attentive, and truly treated her like her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Buttercup was in such loving and capable hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and that means everything to us. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“I knew from our first meeting that Nathan and Jackie were the right choice to take care of my Sophie for the 2 weeks I would be in Japan. And I was right. They sent daily pictures/videos of: Sophie playing with their dogs Reilly and Bailey; the kids walking, holding, and loving on Sophie; and photos of some well-deserved chill time. We had excellent communication for the duration of Sophie’s stay with them. Nathan contacted me about a week into her stay to report an issue that he felt needed reviewed by her vet. I agreed and Nathan made the appointment, then took her for a vet visit. The vet also agreed with Nathan and gave Sophie 2 prescriptions. Nathan paid for the vet visit and meds himself (since I was not available at the time). For the next week, Nathan and Jackie gave Sophie the meds prescribed and reported back to me how she was doing with her medical issue. I am so thankful for Nathan’s keen observation and proactive stance on Sophie’s health. The vet visit and daily meds were more than they signed up for and they just took care of it all. I will definitely be taking Sophie back for future boardings, and may even have to take her for occasional visits so she can play with the dogs and the kids!”
“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!”
“Lola and her family were amazing! So sweet and so welcoming to our dog. She sent us pictures everyday and let us know how he was doing. We had so much peace leaving Grizzly in her care!”
“Sarah was a great dog sitter. She was easy to work with and my dog loved being there. She sent photos and let me know how things were going while we were away. I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs.”
About: I’m that person that will stop mid conversation & point out when I see a cute dog in public. I’ve always loved dogs and have had so much experience over the years. You can trust i’ll treat your pet like my own ❤️ I only work a couple days a week, usually the weekend and they aren’t long hours so I am available for any scheduling you can throw at me! I can usually try to make your request fit into my day somehow. I’ve done things ranging from 5 min potty breaks, multiple daily visits, & long walks. Whatever you need I can make happen. Don’t be afraid to ask 😁
“We used Emily for the first time for boarding and we had an exceptional experience. She sent us pictures every day and was quick to respond. I would use her again in the future. I would definitely recommend her. Thank you for such a great experience!”
“Hailey is absolutely amazing! I am so grateful for the excellent care she provided for our dog Frank. From our meet and greet to pick up, Hailey was so easy to work with. I can tell she has a true heart for animals. We got pictures and communication every day we were gone, and she was so flexible with drop off and pick up. Hailey was THE BEST!!!!!”
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.
About: I've had at least 1 dog in my home for 10 years, frequently opening our home to offer boarding and respite care to our friends' dogs. We enjoy providing a loving, safe, fun space for dogs to visit! I have a hybrid work schedule, so I can be available to be home as needed and provide dogs with whatever care they need. Dogs who stay in our home are walked and played with, loved well, and treated like they were our own. Caring for the animals in our home is a valuable part of our everyday routine as a family. Our yard is fenced, we have small and large kennel crates if your dogs need this space, and we have 2 friendly and loving dogs that enjoy playing with dogsitting guests!
“I cannot begin to express my thankfulness for De’Aysia. She was able to watch Rocco for almost two weeks on relatively short notice. She is knowledgeable and kind. It is incredibly obvious she loves animals and wants the best for them. She sent pictures and video to me while we were away, which helped this mommas heart. Definitely would recommend and we will be repeat customers. 😊”
“I am so thankful we found Rachelle! Our dog has some anxiety & is not always comfortable in new situations or places. Rachelle worked hard to put him at ease & make him comfortable his entire stay. We received daily updates & photos, which I so appreciated! I would definitely recommend Rachelle & we will be booking with her again!”
“I have been using Leslee as a sitter for the past year. She has been consistently excellent with her communication, responsiveness, and flexibility. She always made things worry free when I was out of town. My dog Leon gets excited every time we drive into her neighborhood! I would highly recommend Leslee as a sitter!”

I currently have a 2.5 year old German shepherd, 1.5 year old Rottweiler mix and a 7 month old German shepherd. Who love to have friends. They love all animals! I'm currently working from home so I am very flexible with times needed. I currently have a home with no fenced yard. But lots of space for dogs to play and run. I also live right around the corner from a dog park. I am currently working from home! So I have plenty of time to drop in and play with your dogs let them out.

Your dog will never be lonely as I'm home full time with my 6 month old puppy, Archie, who loves to play! Archie is fully vaccinated and wears his rabies tag everywhere we go. Archie is very friendly with other dogs and would love a friend to run with and play tug-of-war but my apartment is large enough to house other pets separate from my puppy if that is your preference. Does your dog need special treatment or medicine administered? I've got you covered! I'm a third year student doctor currently on virtual rotations (studying/working from home) due to coronavirus and I'd love to treat your dog (or other pet) to some treats! I may be in school to treat humans, but I'm comfortable administering medications and I have experience doing so for everything from ferrets to dogs to pigs. I have owned guinea pigs, ferrets, cats, and dogs so I am comfortable caring for a wide range of pets. Does your pet require a lot of exercise? You're in luck. Mine does too! I take my puppy to the community dog park everyday for at least an hour. In addition my apartment is right across from Lake Michigan and a walking trail that my dog and I frequent in the evenings. If your dog needs more exercise I have a dog park inside my apartment complex where I can take your pup to stretch his legs and play as often as you'd like. I have personal and professional dog sitting experience, medical training, tons of space, and will update you as often as you like with pictures and videos of your pup having a blast with Archie and I. Book with me today and rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands!
“I was away from my babies for almost 2 weeks and was really nervous leaving them but was so reassured with Ivory!! She was so sweet and always went above and beyond with her communication and care! I always knew what was going on and always had plenty of pictures. I’ll definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone!”

I will also care for pet on the weekends if needed I prefer to take care of pets in there home environment because that is what the pet is use to.

Personally I don’t go out of town a lot regularly so I’m available most days but I will update my schedule regularly if I will be out of town. I’m open to staying at your house to watch them, or just dropping by to let them outside, or even just to make sure they feel safe while you’re gone. I plan on caring for your dogs, just like I care for mine. I have two cats of my own that I take care of completely, but I also help out my family with their three dogs we currently have in the house. Whether it comes to grooming or dog walking, taking them outside, I’m always prepared to do what makes the animals happy. I always treat anyone’s pet like my own. Any safety precautions the parents want to take including letting a friend come by to visit while they are gone, or photos updating them of their pets, I will always be comfortable with. If it were my pet I’d hope for the same.

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.

“Bubs had a great time with Khanh! She was able to accommodate his need to physically be away from other dogs because he’s not quite old enough to get all his vaccines. He was always excited to get to daycare in the morning! She was also willing to work with me and my crazy work schedule - we’ve already booked more time with her. I trust her with my puppy. 🤗”
“I'm so happy to have found Lola on Rover. She is so sweet. My puppy had a great time at her home playing with her dogs, cats, and kids🥰 Will definitely be a repeat customer!”
About: 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: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I could walk. Pets have always been an addition in my family. I have also pet sat for friends and family when they have needed. To me, pets are family and I have always taken care of them like that. When I'm trusted to take care of someones pet, I treat them like their baby. We have 3.5 acres of farm and woodland. 1 acres is wooded and we have a trail and creek to play in. If things get too messy, we can always rinse off in the hose. I have a lead out back, but if your dog doesn't need it great! If your dog requires a little more, I have a fenced in area behind the barn that we can venture to as well. I live on a private drive, so not a lot of traffic and its nice and peaceful. I work 8-4 Monday through Friday. I live 20 minutes away and usually come home on my lunch break at 12 to let my dogs out and to let them run and play. I wake up early to take care of my chickens and ducks and let my dogs run around for about 30 minutes outside. With other dogs, we might wake up a little earlier and go on a trail or just walk up and down the road(.5miles) maybe more if needed. We then come inside and eat and drink and they are usually ready to go back to bed by the time I leave for work. On my days off we are outside constantly. If your dog is an introvert or loves ac, we do also let our dogs on the furniture for extra lounging. 🤣 At night we do a bit more outside since we make our rounds to make sure the birds are safe and fed and maybe another walk in the woods. Before bed, we do tick checks just in case! I care for all pets like my own and all pets have the same freedoms as my fur babies(unless specified so your doggo doesn't come home with any habits you don't want them to have). I have blankets on my couches and dog beds all over the house.

I am available and home Saturday and Sundays the weekends and evenings. I get off at 4 30 then I am pretty much a home body...ready to play and walk with your sweet fur babies I live on a dead end street, have a front and back yard.

We take a nice walk. I live on a dead end. No pets anymore currently,which is why I am looking to take care of yours. I miss a pet being around .that unconditional love!. Soon a fence too.
About: Hi! I'm Ava, a lifelong dog lover with 10+ years of experience caring for pups of all breeds, sizes and personalities. Whether it's energetic playtime, relaxing walks, or cozy cuddle sessions, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy and loved while their humans are away. I work from home, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Your dog won't be left alone for long periods and will get consistent potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I provide loving, attentive care in our home. I work from home, so pets receive plenty of supervision potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day.

About: 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.
“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: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I own 3 pups right now who love to play and would love any other pets to play with! Available 7 days a week, super flexible and humble. I’m accommodating and willing to work with any busy schedule. My contact will be available 9am-8pm I live in an apartment with no fenced in yard but I live next to Margaret Pace Park which has a small or large dog park and a long walking trail for your fur babies.
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, growing up with dogs, cats, birds, and even lizards. My mom was an animal lover, and I’ve followed in her footsteps. I helped my dad with his three cats that my mom used to care for before she passed, driving an hour every week for grooming and bathing (one of them is a bit oversized!). I’d love to care for your beloved pet. Although I can’t have pets of my own due to my wife’s allergies, this makes pet sitting my dream job! I regularly care for my father’s cat, Jack, traveling over an hour each way, so distance is not an issue for me. I work seasonally for a cemetery in Bloomington which leaves me laid off from December 1st to March 1st each year. So I am highly available in that 3 month span, and then on weekends during the rest of the year. I’m here to support you and your beloved pet. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and the people who care for them. When my wife mentioned pet sitting, I was excited to get involved right away. Dogs seem to love me, and cats generally tolerate me—which I think says a lot about my character! I’m reliable, trustworthy, and available when you need me. I’ve been caring for pets since I was young, helping neighbors with feeding, walking, and cleanup. I promise to provide the care and attention your pet deserves and be a great fit for you both!
“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: My friends and family call me the pet whisperer. Or, "even your pets listen to you" I have a great understanding of animals, and a natural love and care for their well being. I began babysitting and pet sitting at age 11, including horses! Have always been a caretaker type, including being a full time nanny, also taking care of their animals-dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, guinea pigs. Available on weekends and partial Mon and Fridays. Flexible, long term, or short term last minute welcome. Home most of the time on the weekends except for short errands, as our house is centrally located, close to shopping, yet not directly on a busy street. Like a relaxing vacation for your loved one while you are away. Our pets are part of the family and enjoy many benefits of our house. Plenty of playing and lounging room for all! We have a living room, rec room and screened in porch, for warmer weather, all with dog friendly furniture and lots of windows for plenty of comfy napping. lounging, squirrel watching...with a dog entry door to the large fenced in yard and deck through the kitchen. My musically talented teenager will play lots of nice music on his piano and ukulele as well as run around the yard with the dogs, and there is a park within walking distance from our house if more exploration is desired! We have one chocolate lab who is very friendly and social, and loves company!
About: I’ve always loved dogs, and started volunteering at my local humane society in middle school. I also have experience working for a professional dog trainer, waking and providing care and enrichment for the dogs. I have two dogs of my own- 1.5 year old and 9 month old Australian shepherds who are friendly, and love other dogs and people. I am currently working on Mondays and fridays, leaving most other days completely open for your needs! My husband has morning classes and is home all afternoon as well. I do not have a fenced yard, however my apartment complex does have a fenced dog play area. I also enjoy taking my pup on long walks, and I can do the same for yours!
“LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE taking Rambo to Melissa! Her and her boys keep Rambo so entertained. He gets in the car and immediately goes to sleep lol I can tell he loves being with Melissa and her family!”

“Katie is WONDERFUL!! Wags, my overweight beagle (who lets me live there with my cat Top!) is already showing signs of having more energy. When I come home, he is bouncing up and down to meet me. It has been a while since he had this energy; I know it’s ALL because of Katie walking Wags! Besides this, Wag’s loves Katie and didn’t give me a second look when she came for him!!!♥️♥️”

“Glenn is awesome! I know my boy is in good hands with him as he obviously loves animals and Wally took to him right away when we met before starting walking service. He is reliable and I am so happy Wally is getting daily exercise as I work long shifts as a nurse. He is flexible too, he was able to come when I had a last minute schedule change recently. Very glad we found Glen, I definitely recommend him!!”

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
About: I have been taking care of all types of animals since I was a child. I am very comfortable with all breeds and energy levels. I also have experience with senior dogs and their special needs. Right now I work from home so that let's me be a stay at home dog mom too, so almost all of my time goes to my fur babies and taking care of other animals In my home...my animals are family. I treat them with so much love some may say they are spoiled....I say they are well taken care of! When we go for walks I always use a leash and harness combo to ensure they can't sneak out of their collars.
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've owned animals all my life. As a kid in school I had two Mastiff puppies who were with me until they were 6. As they had health issues that came on later in their life! My mom has 4 yorkies who I have lived with and taken care of one of them was just put down. I currently have a 2.5 year old German shepherd, 1.5 year old Rottweiler mix and a 7 month old German shepherd. Who love to have friends. They love all animals! I'm currently working from home so I am very flexible with times needed. I currently have a home with no fenced yard. But lots of space for dogs to play and run. I also live right around the corner from a dog park. I am currently working from home! So I have plenty of time to drop in and play with your dogs let them out. Take them for walks anything your sweet pup desires! I currently have no fenced in yard but have a lead and am always out with the dogs when let out! I also have 3 friendly dogs who all love to meet new friends and keep them company.
About: Hi! I have carried a passion for animals since I was little; and cared for dogs, cats, and critters since I was 10. I grew up volunteering at the local humane society. Inspired by my childhood dream to be a veterinarian, I always take special care to ensure every pet is loved and well-cared for, including those with special needs. I’m available every day of the week (and I accept same-day bookings), for overnight care at client house, walking, house visits, and drop-ins up to 3 times a day! No boarding at my place as of right now though, I’m very sorry!! I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving environment for every pet, whether in my home or yours. With years of experience handling animals of all temperaments, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs—ensuring they’re comfortable, secure, and happy. At your place, I follow your routines precisely, from medication administration to security checks. Safety is my top priority: I’m CPR certified, and have a strong understanding of animal behavior and body language so I’m always monitoring for any signs of stress or health issues. Your fur baby’s well-being comes first, customized to their personality and your preferences.
About: Hello! I've been around animals my whole life. I am a dog/cat owner. I also have a 7 year old that will be around so kid friendly animal only. I will love and care for your animals just like you would! I'm currently home for the whole summer. I work for the school district. I have the time to care for your pets when you are away. I have a fenced in yard. I have two other dogs in the house that will keep your dog company. All animals are allowed on furniture as well.
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, growing up with dogs, cats, birds, and even lizards. My mom was an animal lover, and I’ve followed in her footsteps. I helped my dad with his three cats that my mom used to care for before she passed, driving an hour every week for grooming and bathing (one of them is a bit oversized!). I’d love to care for your beloved pet. Although I can’t have pets of my own due to my wife’s allergies, this makes pet sitting my dream job! I regularly care for my father’s cat, Jack, traveling over an hour each way, so distance is not an issue for me. I work seasonally for a cemetery in Bloomington which leaves me laid off from December 1st to March 1st each year. So I am highly available in that 3 month span, and then on weekends during the rest of the year. I’m here to support you and your beloved pet. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and the people who care for them. When my wife mentioned pet sitting, I was excited to get involved right away. Dogs seem to love me, and cats generally tolerate me—which I think says a lot about my character! I’m reliable, trustworthy, and available when you need me. I’ve been caring for pets since I was young, helping neighbors with feeding, walking, and cleanup. I promise to provide the care and attention your pet deserves and be a great fit for you both!
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.

“As a first-time Rover user and a nervous dog mom, I was hesitant to leave Banjo with anyone, especially since we just adopted him from a shelter. However, Jenelle completely exceeded my expectations. She was incredibly thoughtful and even suggested a meet-and-greet before the stay to make sure Banjo would be comfortable. She showed such patience and care with him, especially since he’s a shy and nervous dog. Throughout our trip, Jenelle kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which really helped ease my worries. Banjo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time with Jenelle and her own dogs. I think he was a little upset that we were taking him home because he had so much fun!! We’re so grateful for her wonderful care and will absolutely be leaving Banjo with her for all our future trips. Highly recommend!!”
“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!!”
“Chelsey was very attentive to our dogs and kept us posted on how they were doing daily. They had a lot of fun playing with her dog as well. She has a fenced yard they enjoyed. They were very well cared for while we were out of town. I would definitely recommend her for dog care.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Buttercup while we were away this weekend. She was kind, attentive, and truly treated her like her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Buttercup was in such loving and capable hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and that means everything to us. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Lola and her family were amazing! So sweet and so welcoming to our dog. She sent us pictures everyday and let us know how he was doing. We had so much peace leaving Grizzly in her care!”
“Sarah was a great dog sitter. She was easy to work with and my dog loved being there. She sent photos and let me know how things were going while we were away. I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs.”
About: I’m that person that will stop mid conversation & point out when I see a cute dog in public. I’ve always loved dogs and have had so much experience over the years. You can trust i’ll treat your pet like my own ❤️ I only work a couple days a week, usually the weekend and they aren’t long hours so I am available for any scheduling you can throw at me! I can usually try to make your request fit into my day somehow. I’ve done things ranging from 5 min potty breaks, multiple daily visits, & long walks. Whatever you need I can make happen. Don’t be afraid to ask 😁
“Hailey is absolutely amazing! I am so grateful for the excellent care she provided for our dog Frank. From our meet and greet to pick up, Hailey was so easy to work with. I can tell she has a true heart for animals. We got pictures and communication every day we were gone, and she was so flexible with drop off and pick up. Hailey was THE BEST!!!!!”
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.
About: I've had at least 1 dog in my home for 10 years, frequently opening our home to offer boarding and respite care to our friends' dogs. We enjoy providing a loving, safe, fun space for dogs to visit! I have a hybrid work schedule, so I can be available to be home as needed and provide dogs with whatever care they need. Dogs who stay in our home are walked and played with, loved well, and treated like they were our own. Caring for the animals in our home is a valuable part of our everyday routine as a family. Our yard is fenced, we have small and large kennel crates if your dogs need this space, and we have 2 friendly and loving dogs that enjoy playing with dogsitting guests!
“I cannot begin to express my thankfulness for De’Aysia. She was able to watch Rocco for almost two weeks on relatively short notice. She is knowledgeable and kind. It is incredibly obvious she loves animals and wants the best for them. She sent pictures and video to me while we were away, which helped this mommas heart. Definitely would recommend and we will be repeat customers. 😊”
“I am so thankful we found Rachelle! Our dog has some anxiety & is not always comfortable in new situations or places. Rachelle worked hard to put him at ease & make him comfortable his entire stay. We received daily updates & photos, which I so appreciated! I would definitely recommend Rachelle & we will be booking with her again!”
“My dogs, Franklin and Jack, have a great time at Faith’s home. She does an excellent job providing my dogs the needed attention and fun when I am out of town. I’ll be a repeat customer!”
“She was amazing with my two fur children Alister and Kara! Sending me updates every day and pictures, which made me feel at ease that they were doing well. She was so kind and will definitely want her to watch my babies again if I need to go somewhere!”
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.
“Sydney is a wonderful dog sitter. Her family is delightful. Sydney kept us informed without being intrusive. She took great care of our teacup Yorkie, and sent a daily photo with a short update.”
About: I've had dogs almost my whole life. I've taken care of puppies, seniors, and special needs dogs. I love to go on walks, so if your furry family member needs a long walk I'm your gal. I can help with training, and if your baby doesnt have good leash manners? Don't worry. I work full time on second shift, with a varied schedule. However I'm usually able to pop in somewhere before work and take care of your pets. I wouldn't be ideal as a house sitter, or a boarder, but I'll happily check in on your babies and take then on walks. I like to make sure animals have plenty of time to sniff me out and get used to me. If you're cool with me giving them a treat, I may use one to bribe them. Otherwise I let the animal come to me. I'll feed your dogs exactly the right amount of food, let them out for the right amount of time, and exercise them at however long you want. Dogs and cats deserve respect and understanding. I'm not going to change their routine in addition to being a strange person.
