“Wonderful and amazing! Our Mabel loves coming to see Aunt Patty! Mabel is loved and taken care of and we know she is being spoiled! We love the pictures and Patty is great at responding to any messages from us. We are happy and blessed to have found Patty to love our 4 legged love bug!”
“We needed a last minute dog sitter and used the rover app for the first time to find someone close by and I got so lucky to find Chrissy to help us out. The dogs loved the big backyard and played so well with their own dogs. I will definitely use her again. ❤️”
“Sadie and Lola had the best stay!! The updates were great and we loved receiving pictures of our girls! Nothing is better than the reassurance knowing pups are in the best care!! My girls will be back soon!!”
“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were away. Sarge clearly had a great time too. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“With out hesitation we rebooked our Winston & Riley Bichons with Abbie & her family in their great home environment for a week of loving care. The updates, pictures gave us comfortdaily. We have already booked our next visit with Abbie.”
“We were really happy with the care Kodiak received during her stay. We loved the picture updates and hearing what she was up to while we were gone. Kodi came home much more relaxed than she ever has after staying at the kennel. Thanks for taking care of our girl! We will definitely look to book again for future care.”
“Jane was wonderful with Penny. Our dog was feeling separation anxiety and she was so kind and patient. She sent lots of pictures and I felt very good about leaving her with Jane. This is our second time using Jane and I’d definitely use her again. Thank you so much!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Tammi. She took such loving care of our three dogs, Daisy, Stella, and our sweet senior girl, Sable. We were especially nervous about leaving Sable since she’s older and has some mobility issues, but Tammi kindly offered to do a meet and greet beforehand, which made such a difference. It immediately put our minds at ease and helped us feel confident that all three girls would be in the very best hands. While we were away, Tammi sent us pictures every day and kept us updated on how everyone was doing. She always responded quickly whenever we had a question, and knowing our girls were happy, comfortable, and surrounded by so much love made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our vacation. When we picked them up, all three dogs looked happy, healthy, and so well cared for. It meant so much to know that Sable was getting the extra patience and gentle attention she needed. Finding someone you can truly trust with your dogs, especially a senior dog who needs a little extra care, is priceless, and we’re so grateful we found Tammi. We will absolutely be booking with her again and couldn’t recommend her more.”
“This was our second time working with Amy and she was great! She was very accommodating on drop off time to make sure it fit all of our schedules. She sent photos and gave us updates throughout the trip as well :) Will book again!”
“Jamie was amazing! Willow was worn out by the time she got back home and she’s a lab so I know she got to run to her hearts content. I got many updates and pictures/videos, it’s safe to say I felt as though she was in the best hands as possible. Definitely would recommend Jamie and I would love to use her again!!”
“Amanda and Donnie seem like nice people and their dogs are well-cared for, which leads me to be pretty confident they treat your dogs with the same care. Stuart apparently had a great time and enjoyed playing with their dogs.”
“Great communication, sent us photos/videos of our little guy’s stay, and was very accommodating and knowledgeable of our pup’s quarks and behaviors. Would recommend!”
“Katie was wonderful with our Nash! She sent photos keeping us updated the whole time and was quick to respond when we sent a message. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Katie again and I am sure Nash would love to go back. He had a blast with the other dogs.”
“Jane was terrific! She sent adorable pictures and fun updates every morning and our dog clearly enjoyed his time with her. We will definitely try to book with her again in the future!”
“Jessica and her family did a great job at watching our dog Dexsy. They gave her lots of love and responded to my messages in a timely manner. Will definitely consider booking with them again!”
“This is the 3rd time Deanna and her husband Gerald have watched our dog while we went out of town. As always, they took great care of Savannah and were very accommodating with her special needs due to a leg injury. It is obvious that they love dogs. We can't recommend them enough!”
“I've lost count of how many times Hailey has watched our dogs, Bella and Chewy! She is always clear with her communication. Takes great care of our dogs during their stay. And even put adorable patriotic bandanas on them for Labor Day! We will most definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to other dog owners!”
“Kerri was wonderful with our dog, Astro! She took wonderful care of him and gave him plenty of love! I think he would have stayed if we would’ve let him! I would highly recommend Kerri for care of anyone’s dog. She has a nice yard for them to run and get plenty of play time. Kerri sent me bunches of pictures and messaged me with updates to ease my mind. I would highly recommend her care. I will use her again for sure.”

“Jaci was wonderful with my blond golden retriever! She went above my expectations and communicated with multiple pictures every visit and even made me an adorable video compilation. I'm very thankful to have her as a dog sitter.”
“Tereasa is great with our dogs! She is reliable and a great communicator. She lets you know how the drop in visit went and provides plenty of pictures of her visit. Highly recommended!!”
“Allie is amazing! She is a true animal lover and right when we met her, we knew she would take great care of our cat! Our cat is super shy but Allie did a great job of getting him to warm up to her- she’s very patient and does a great job of figuring out what will make our cat comfortable. Our cat also takes a pill for his asthma and Allie was able to administer this to him while we were gone (which is not easy to do because our cat does NOT like taking it!) Allie is kind, very reliable, and communicative. I hope to have her pet sit for us again and I’d highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I've had my cat since I was a little kid and have always loved her so much. I have always been a trusted person known to take amazing care of their kitties. I am very careful, always double checking and taking notes to make sure I am taking care of them the way they should be!
“Rayme did a wonderful job caring for our sweethearts while we were out of town. She was responsive, thorough, detail oriented, and made sure each kitty got individual attention, all of which kept this type A fur mom feel a lot less anxious. They also all seemed to really love her. Would absolutely book with her again!”
About: i have taken care of a variety of cats with diverse ranges in size, personality, and friendly towards both strangers and close relatives. I have trained my own cat, Korin (aka Mufassa) well! To the point he’s comfortable with commands although he does not always obey! 🤣 he’s got a very rogue personality. Korin is over a decade old at this point but still in prime condition and health! I honed my cat caretaker skills over the years with many feline furry friends, and will likely always have one in my life as cats bring a certain balance to life that is hard to otherwise find. Cats tend to be the easiest animal to care for from my experience, as they are the most obvious to read. You know fairly quickly where you stand, with both dogs and cats, and no matter where you stand you can build from that by maintaining constant gas in your JEEP Jesus Enthusiasm Encouragement Peace Long as you operate in the JEEP everything will be exactly what it is meant to be🎶
About: I stand out for my calm, reliable care and my ability to understand each pet’s personality and needs. I’m attentive to routines, clear on communication, and focused on making every animal feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work 7:30-4 Monday-Friday. I am happy to provide care during the week if the pet is used to going a full work day alone. I can provide full day care on weekends. :) I prefer to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow their normal routine; feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions so everything stays familiar and stress free. I keep the home tidy, give plenty of attention, and make sure each pet feels safe and relaxed while their family is away.
About: My parents showed, bred, and raised Dobermans when I was a child. As an adult, our family has had cats and hunting dogs. I understand how important it is to be able to trust someone to take care of your pet when you are away from home and will treat your pet with the care I would want for my own. I have plenty of experience taking care of animals and lots of time to play with your cats or dogs when you have to be away from them. I have three dogs and three cats that mingle well together. I will be happy to drop in to walk your dog and /or play with all you furry pets while you are away.
“Ashley was awesome. I would definitely recommend her and book her again! She was super attentive and caring to our dog while we were away. She sent pics and took our dog for a walk everyday. Super kind and responsive. No issues at all. 😊”

About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies and young dogs who need extra patience and consistency to senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, extra bathroom breaks, or additional attention. I’m also happy working with shy, anxious, or nervous pets and always let them warm up to me at their own pace. I believe the little things make a big difference—keeping pets on their normal routine, providing plenty of play and affection, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m dependable, flexible, and able to provide consistent walks, playtime, attention, and loving care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s routine. I give plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, while respecting their individual needs.
About: I've owned animals all my life. I currently own one outdoor cat and 4 horses. I recently lost my dog of 13 years to cushings disease. I currently work part time at a horse boarding facility and previously worked for several years as a kennel techician. Traveling for a week every year with my family, I know it's hard to find good quality care for my pets. I'd love to be able to provide that care to the pets of other families. I work part time at a horse boarding facility 4 days a week (Thursday - Sunday). I work 2 shifts each day for 3- 4 hours each and have a 2-3 hour break between my shifts. So, I'm basically home every day. We live in a ranch home with a fenced backyard. I live with my Mom who is a big dog lover and would welcome your dog with open arms.
About: I’ve cared for cats for many years and have experience working with cats in animal shelters. I’m comfortable caring for cats of all ages, from energetic kittens to senior cats, and can administer medications when needed. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level, and I take the time to earn their trust while maintaining their routine. You can expect attentive care, photo updates, and a calm, reliable presence to help your cat feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I have years of experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior companions. I’m skilled at administering medications, ensuring their health and comfort, and maintaining clean, stress-free spaces—including perfectly tended litter boxes. My attention to detail and genuine love for cats help me provide personalized care that keeps them happy and relaxed while you’re away.

“Sadie and Lola had the BEST day playing with their new friends! I’ve had a lot of experience with Rover and could easily see that my girls felt welcomed and cared for throughout their stay! Jamie was quick and efficient in responding to all my questions. I received updates and pictures throughout the day and could see my girls were in the best of hands! Sadie and Lola will be back soon! I highly recommend Jamie!”
“We appreciate Amanda and Mike watching our Golden for a couple of days while we visited the Ark and the Creation Museum. They were very friendly, and Daisy was happy to return the second day. They have a great backyard too.”
About: I began professionally caring for animals 10 years ago when I got a job at PetSmart as a Pet Care associate! From there, I became a kennel technician at one of the top rated veterinary clinics in Cincinnati, Animal Care Center, and after a year of working there as a kennel technician they trained me to be a veterinary technician. I then had my first son and stayed home with him and had a farm with pigs, chickens, and all kinds of wonderful animals! When I decided to rejoin the work force, of course I went back to what I love most, caring for animals. I worked at two different kennels full time and helped manage one of them. I am able to give medications to pets and I’m comfortable giving insulin shots. If you’re interested in drop-ins for medication only while you’re at work or out, I can do that! I’m available any time, just discuss with me what would work best for you. During overnight stays, I will fill out a report to return to you so you will have complete details of how your pet was while you’re away! I’m also willing to FaceTime and send pictures so you know that your pet is safe and sound. Housemates would be my loving and gentle 5 year old son and my fiancé. I have a small chihuahua myself who is very friendly with all other pets. Since I do have children, any pets staying at my home must be child friendly. I’m always available whenever you need me. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. Short notice or planning months in advance? I’m here! I have two children who love pets and give them plenty of friendly attention. I also have a chihuahua who gets along with other dogs but is convinced she’s truly a cat so she doesn’t play much! Pets remain leashed at all times during walks and get walked multiple times a day during pet-sitting.
“Kymberlee, was a God sent. We could not leave our Nordic breed dog in the RV even with AC as too many variables. I connected with Kymberlee and she was very welcoming and accepting on last. She is a great host for pets, loving and extremely caring. Our Louie had a great time and we received pictures and updates during the day. Highly give Kymberlee an above excellent rating”
About: I have owned and helped take care of my family’s animals since I was around 6 years old. I am a dog mom to a 4 year old golden retriever and she is my world. I would love to do anything that I can to help you and take care of your pet while you are away or just need an extra hand. I can go on walks with them, play with them, feed them, and keep them safe! I can also help bathe them and keep them groomed by brushing them. I am a photographer so I have relatively open availability. If you’re interested in hiring me, please let me know and we can talk about your pet and your expectations for me as a sitter. Looking forward to talking with you and meeting with your pets!! My dog is my entire world so I know exactly how anyone who trusts their pet with anyone else feels. There is so much love and support coming from my side of taking care of them. I talk to them like they are people and give them reassurance when it rains or when they miss you. For stop ins, it’s super easy for me to sit with them for up to an hour, giving them affection and company. For my own dog, we go on walks a lot and do tricks and puzzles to ensure brain exercise during the day. I do not have a fenced in yard yet, but we do walk with a leash around the town as well as use a beeping and vibrating collar to keep pets in our yard.
“What a delight! Senator had a wonderful time with Mindy and canine babies. Mindy was so kind and ready to spend time with him. He was exhausted afterward, but….that’s a compliment. Hope to visit again soon.”
“Leeann was amazing with a last minute booking and being so flexible on drop off and pick up times. Thank you for finding a calm room for her to stay where she was comfortable too!”
About: We’ve had animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm in southern KY I am used to caring for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds, miniature pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, etc! Our animals have always been apart of our family and go where we go! Our animals are allowed on the furniture, sleep in our bed, and love to visit our parents house! I am a stay at home mom so adding a pet into our daily routine is actually pretty easy! We’re used to care for our own dog! We just have them join whatever we’re doing which makes it easier. I have two Littles who love to play outside and take them walks so I usually just have our pups tag along! Our pups routine is usually out to pee in the morning, a walk after her breakfast, lots of outdoor play or sunbathe time while me and my two kiddos play our back, another walk once the kids take their naps, more play time with the kids, another walk after dinner, then a pee break before we get into bed for the night! I’m home all day as a stay at home mom and my husband is fully remote so our pup is used to having somewhere there for whatever she needs or when we do go out and about if we’re able to we take her! Our dog frequents our parents house for even more cuddles and play! Animals are always part of the family on our end.
About: I've always have dog in my life, and my passion for dogs will last forever. My friend told me that I don't treat my dogs as dogs but babies. Remember, a genuine love for animals and a commitment to their well-being are at the heart of any successful pet care experience! I'm currently full time house wife with 2 dogs, no kids. My daily routines are my dogs, so I have a lot of time to watch yours too! We walk 4 times a day, and enjoy homemade dog treat and food. I don't have yard so I walk dogs instead (3-4 times a day), and I always clean them right after walking so they are allowed on furniture. Remember, a walk a day keep vet away. I do have crates if needed.
“Angel is wonderful! We've been having a hard time giving our dog the attention and structure he needs during the day since we had our baby, so being able to place him with Angel a few days a week has been a lifesaver! She is very kind, and accommodating to our dogs specific quirks. Thanks Angel!”
About: We only take dogs up to 30lbs due to my daughter being afraid of most bigger dogs despite us having one of our own. We will give consideration to dogs over that weight if we feel it’s a good fit. We have recently begun boarding in our home again and have adopted a new goldendoodle Lincoln on 3/22/24. He will be about 60lbs once full grown He’s sweet and full of energy and loves to play with all dogs. I have had my own dogs for about 11 years and have also taken care of friends pets although usually in their own homes.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently care for a multi-dog household of my own, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. From high-energy breeds that need structure and exercise to older dogs who just want a calm, predictable environment—I adjust my care to fit what your dog actually needs. I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, crate training, basic commands, and monitoring group dynamics to keep things safe and stress-free. I’m especially mindful when introducing dogs, supervising play, and making sure everyone gets attention without things becoming chaotic or overwhelming. I’m also used to keeping a close eye on behavior and health—changes in appetite, energy, or mood don’t go unnoticed. If something seems off, I catch it early and communicate right away. Above all, I treat every dog like they’re my own: safe, structured, and well cared for… with a little extra spoiling mixed in. Your dog won’t just be watched—they’ll be known, understood, and genuinely cared about while they’re with me. I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to build my day around the dogs in my care—not the other way around. I’m able to accommodate a variety of routines, including specific feeding schedules, medication timing, crate needs, or just extra attention for dogs who need it. Structured potty breaks are offered at least every 2 hours, and I’m home throughout the day to provide consistent supervision, interaction, care and additional breaks if needed. Whether your dog thrives on structure or needs a little extra flexibility, I can adjust to what works best for them to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. All care is provided in my home, where I keep things calm, structured, and closely supervised. Because I’m home throughout the day, dogs are not left unattended for long periods, and I’m able to actively monitor behavior, play, and overall well-being. I’m very intentional about safety—introductions are done slowly and thoughtfully, and I pay close attention to each dog’s temperament to make sure everyone is a good fit. I don’t allow chaotic, unsupervised group play. Instead, I keep things controlled so dogs can feel comfortable, not overwhelmed. My home is dog-friendly and set up with both secure indoor space and safe outdoor access for potty breaks and fresh air. I also maintain clean routines for feeding, water, and rest areas to keep everything consistent and stress-free. Above all, I treat every dog like they’re my own—kept safe, well cared for, and genuinely looked after, not just “watched.”
“We needed someone to watch our puppy on our wedding day and were reluctant to leave her with anyone. Karen was great! Pippa warmed right up to her, Karen sent us a few encouraging texts during the day. Would absolutely use her again!”
“We were on our way to the Ark Encounter and needed a place for our two dogs to stay. Mariah and Anthony were kind enough to take them in for the day. Our dogs felt right at home. They have a nice fenced in back yard and was very safe for them to play in. Their two German Shepherds were very nice and friendly and got a long great with our two dogs. Mariah and Anthony were very friendly and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again if we were in the area.”
About: Loving, Reliable Dog Care Since 1998 My passion for caring for dogs began in 1998 when I started walking dogs in Washington, DC. What began as a simple love for dogs quickly grew into a rewarding business built on trust, reliability, and genuine care. With decades of experience, I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I provide dependable, personalized care so pet parents can feel confident knowing their dogs are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. Whether it’s dog walking, sitting, playtime, or simply giving your pet some extra attention and companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of love. Over 25 years of experience. A lifelong love of dogs. Care you can trust. I have a 5 lb. Yorkie for your dog to play with. I am retired so I am home all day, every day. We love to go out and walk every day . I have a fenced in yard with wire all the way to the ground. My built in pool also has a safety fence. I have a 5 lb. Yorkie. My house is free for your dog to run around.
About: Danielle and I have had dogs our whole lives and absolutely love caring for them. We both grew up with dogs, so we’re very comfortable with their needs and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Danielle works a hybrid schedule, while I’m fully remote, so I’m home every day. We’re happy to work with your dog’s usual routine and schedule. We enjoy taking dogs on long walks in the morning and late afternoon, along with plenty of playtime throughout the day. We have a spacious 3-bedroom, first-floor apartment with plenty of room for a dog to feel comfortable. We also have a 1½-year-old son who loves animals, so your dog would be joining a loving family environment. We’re happy to accommodate dogs who need a little extra space or quiet time around our son. We usually walk around our neighborhood, but we also have a dog park in our apartment complex for extra exercise, socialization and play! Since I work from home, I’m with the dogs all day. Occasionally I go skateboarding in the afternoon for a couple hours, which is the longest the dogs would ever be home alone. We take Ori out twice a day and feed him in the morning and evening. Our home couldn’t be safer. Of course the door is always locked and we keep Ori on a leash the entire time that he’s outside. We make sure to keep any food or other things he shouldn’t get into off the floor and out of reach.
“We traveled from Michigan to explore the area and visit the Creation Museum. During our visit, Tyler provided outstanding care for our nervous dog. He ensured she enjoyed multiple walks each day, which she loves. Understanding her age, Tyler was flexible and allowed her to take her much-needed naps. Thanks to Tyler, we could fully enjoy ourselves knowing our dog was in great hands!”

About: I've had a lifelong love of animals — caring for them was a responsibility I embraced from childhood and carried into adulthood. Over the years, I've dedicated time to researching training methods and best practices for working with dogs of varying breeds and temperaments. My hands-on experience includes Great Danes, German Shepherds, Cairn Terriers, Pit Bulls, Yorkies, Goldendoodles, and Labrador Retrievers, giving me a well-rounded foundation for understanding different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I am currently a full-time student, so I have the flexibility to make sure your pets are walked and checked on through the day. I can also be available for overnights in your home or will consider boarding here on a case-by-case basis. I firmly believe that regular exercise is one of the greatest gifts you can give a dog — both for their physical health and their overall disposition. Ensuring every pup gets the activity they need for a calm, content evening is always my top priority. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, attentive, and caring environment.
About: I’ve taken care care of dogs/cats ranging from puppies to teenagers, and even elders. From owning all of the above, let me help you and your furry friends make the most of the short time we have :). I’m currently working part-time as a server as well as attending college at Cincinnati State. With that being said, my schedule is pretty flexible as I can choose which days I need off. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! When it comes to caring for a pet at your home, please do not hesitate to create guidelines and even a schedule. I understand having a new person at your home can be overwhelming. My primary goal is to create a peace of mind for you as well as easing the anxiety that your animal can have while you are away.

About: Hello my name is Tyler. I’m 40 yrs old and I love spending time with dogs. I have been a dog owner and have trained all my own dogs. Currently I’m unemployed due to having brain surgery at the end of 24’ and then the follow up treatments taking most of 25’. So I have lotsa time, attention, and love to give your pet(s). This is actually my attempt at getting back into the working world. Can’t imagine a much better way to ease back into work than to help some people out with their pet care needs. I have a park walking distance from my house that I can take dogs to run around and use the bathroom and I live in a good area for walks. I am well versed on typical dog etiquette in public around other people and animals. I have experience with all types of dogs large and small. I’m a big guy and can handle the larger breeds pretty well usually, but also caring for the little ones as well. I always prioritize the pet(s) health and safety first, and then having some fun second :). I would love to provide a safe and relaxing spot for your pet(s). Also FYI - for boardings if pickup on the last day is after noon I will ask for a day fee of $35. I’m currently unemployed due to brain surgery I had this time last year to remove a large cancerous tumor. Luckily I recovered beautifully and quickly and am still fully functional, minus a little extra forgetfulness but nothing bad at all. So I’m available all days of the week, and have all my time, attention and love to give your pet(s). I’m very experienced with dogs of all types large, small, u name it. I’m a big guy at 6’4” and about 225 lbs so I can handle em all. I’m also rather calm and quiet which I believe helps animals feel at ease around me. I’d take care of yours as if they were my own! :) I take as much precaution as I can with all animals certainly someone else’s. The animals safety and health are my number one concern when caring for someone’s loved pet(s).

I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to play/check in on your pets. I’m available 3 days a week and on weekends. I also have an hour lunch break that I am willing to come by.

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and for the last five years I’ve been the “call Lacey, she’ll do it!” pet sitter for family and friends.

About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies and young dogs who need extra patience and consistency to senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, extra bathroom breaks, or additional attention. I’m also happy working with shy, anxious, or nervous pets and always let them warm up to me at their own pace. I believe the little things make a big difference—keeping pets on their normal routine, providing plenty of play and affection, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m dependable, flexible, and able to provide consistent walks, playtime, attention, and loving care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s routine. I give plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, while respecting their individual needs.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years and have always loved getting to know their unique personalities and routines. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy giving pets the attention, comfort, exercise, and companionship they need. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a work-from-home mom, pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for visits, walks, feedings, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I love having pets as part of my routine and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their families are away. I care for every pet with patience, love, and attention to their individual routine. In my home, pets have access to an unfenced yard for supervised outdoor time and plenty of room to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and keep their pet comfortable in their familiar environment.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and started pet sitting for neighbors at 12 years old. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, and other small pets. I’ve volunteered walking dogs and caring for cats in animal shelters and am comfortable administering medications and caring for both young and senior pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of dependable care, communication, and maintaining your pet’s routine while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine. I work part-time at a café, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. Outside of work, I prioritize providing attentive care, exercise, enrichment, and companionship to the pets I care for. I communicate regularly with owners and do my best to maintain each pet’s normal routine while they’re away.

I am experienced with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and amphibians, and I adapt my care to each pet’s individual needs and personality.
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. From fun-filled walks and playtime to administering medications and providing attentive senior care, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique needs. I’m also skilled in basic training and maintaining a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. My passion for keeping dogs happy and healthy ensures they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. Daily Routine: 1. Morning Care: • Start the day with a morning potty break for Tootsie, followed by her breakfast. Puppies often have high energy in the morning, so I set aside 15-20 minutes for a walk or playtime to help her burn off energy. • This ensures she’s settled while I begin my workday. 2. Midday Break: • Working from home allows me to schedule a midday potty break and a short walk. This keeps Tootsie active and gives me a mental break from work. 3. Afternoon Engagement: • I incorporate short play sessions between tasks to provide Toots with mental stimulation, whether it’s a game of fetch, tug, or a puzzle toy. • These breaks are timed to coincide with natural pauses in my workflow, helping me stay refreshed and productive. 4. Evening Care: • I dedicate time for a longer walk or play session to meet her exercise needs. • Dinner and another potty break follow, ensuring she’s relaxed for the evening. 5. Winding Down: • We end the day with cuddle time and one last potty break before bed, maintaining her routine and comfort. Weekly Routine: • Training Sessions: I include short, 5-10 minute training sessions daily to reinforce good behaviors and teach new commands. • Socialization: On weekends, I take my dog to a park or pet-friendly area to expose her to new environments, people, and other dogs. • Grooming and Maintenance: Weekly brushing keeps her long coat healthy, and I check her nails and ears regularly to prevent any issues. • House Cleaning: I allocate time to clean her bedding, toys, and the areas where she spends time to maintain hygiene. Working from home makes it easier to integrate these tasks naturally into my day. It ensures Tootsie’s needs are met while allowing me to balance work responsibilities effectively. When caring for pets in either my own home or a client's home, I prioritize safety by ensuring a secure environment, following their specific care instructions diligently, closely monitoring their behavior, and always keeping their well-being at the forefront, including providing proper food, water, exercise, and access to designated bathroom areas, while fostering a trusting relationship through consistent routines and gentle interactions. Key aspects of pet care, depending on the service offered: Basic Needs: Feeding: Providing the correct amount of their prescribed food at scheduled times, ensuring fresh water is always available. Waste Management: Regularly cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs outside for bathroom breaks, and proper disposal of waste. Exercise: Engaging in appropriate physical activity based on the pet's breed and needs, such as walks, playtime, or interactive toys. Safety Measures: Secure Environment: Checking for potential hazards like open doors, toxic substances, and securing areas that could be dangerous for the pet. Leash Supervision: Always using a leash when walking dogs outdoors in public areas. Medication Administration: Following strict instructions for administering any prescribed medications. Trust Building: Positive Reinforcement: Using positive training techniques and rewards to build a positive relationship. Gentle Handling: Respecting the pet's boundaries and comfort level, avoiding forceful actions. Communication: Maintaining open communication with the client regarding any concerns or changes in the pet's behavior.

“We needed a last minute dog sitter and used the rover app for the first time to find someone close by and I got so lucky to find Chrissy to help us out. The dogs loved the big backyard and played so well with their own dogs. I will definitely use her again. ❤️”
“Sadie and Lola had the best stay!! The updates were great and we loved receiving pictures of our girls! Nothing is better than the reassurance knowing pups are in the best care!! My girls will be back soon!!”
“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were away. Sarge clearly had a great time too. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“With out hesitation we rebooked our Winston & Riley Bichons with Abbie & her family in their great home environment for a week of loving care. The updates, pictures gave us comfortdaily. We have already booked our next visit with Abbie.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Tammi. She took such loving care of our three dogs, Daisy, Stella, and our sweet senior girl, Sable. We were especially nervous about leaving Sable since she’s older and has some mobility issues, but Tammi kindly offered to do a meet and greet beforehand, which made such a difference. It immediately put our minds at ease and helped us feel confident that all three girls would be in the very best hands. While we were away, Tammi sent us pictures every day and kept us updated on how everyone was doing. She always responded quickly whenever we had a question, and knowing our girls were happy, comfortable, and surrounded by so much love made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our vacation. When we picked them up, all three dogs looked happy, healthy, and so well cared for. It meant so much to know that Sable was getting the extra patience and gentle attention she needed. Finding someone you can truly trust with your dogs, especially a senior dog who needs a little extra care, is priceless, and we’re so grateful we found Tammi. We will absolutely be booking with her again and couldn’t recommend her more.”

Kerri sent me bunches of pictures and messaged me with updates to ease my mind. I would highly recommend her care. I will use her again for sure.”
