“It was our first time using Rover and leaving our pup with someone while we went out of town - Katelin was amazing and made this experience much better than we anticipated! She sent us pics and little updates and we could tell our girl was having a blast! It was an incredible peace of mind to know she was with someone who is competent and compassionate! Thank you, Katelin!!”

“Mrs Nan and her family were the perfect choice for my pup's first pet sitter. My rogue can be stand offish with new people since she was adopted right before COVID-19 start. Mrs. Nan was patient with her, loved on my girl as much as rogue allowed, encouraged her to eat when she was depressed, and checked on her through out the day when Rogue decided to hide in her crate instead of playing with Nate. I received multiple pictures and updates, and Mrs Nan was quick to answer questions on how things were going. I highly recommend using Mrs Nan, I plan to use her again.”

“We loved boarding our Everitt with Cory. He was very in tune and experienced with dogs and how they act and was understanding of our young dog’s behavior. When we picked her up we could tell she was well cared for and happy with her stay. We would use him again and would recommend him to anybody that is looking for somebody”

“Mindi's gentle spirit was a perfect fit for Ozzy. He was very happy when picked up and seemed to enjoy his walks and time with Mindi.

They were wonderful with her and their dogs were very sweet. The stream of photos sent were very reassuring. I am booking them again for a longer stay and can't express how grateful I am to have a save, loving place for Mazi to stay.”

About: Hi I’m Hannah, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to a German Shepherd! With over 10 years of experience caring for family and friends pets and 2 years working at an animal boarding facility. I can’t wait to meet your pet :) I work a full time night shift job so I am home during the day. My sister works first shift so she is home during the night so no pets will be left alone :) I’m flexible during the day so walking and pet sitting are available as well! When caring for pets in my home, I treat it like their second home, making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, from feeding schedules to playtime, ensuring they get the attention and care they’re used to. I ensure your pet feels calm with unfamiliar surroundings. I’m there to give them all the love they need while you’re away!

About: For the past 9 years, I have been a dedicated dog owner, providing a loving home filled with care, affection, and attention. My experience includes participating in a variety of dog training classes, such as obedience, agility, and dock diving. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every dog has a unique personality and responds differently to people, requiring patience, understanding, and tailored care. Currently available anytime after 5:30pm Monday through Friday… and every weekend. I will keep my schedule as up to date as possible so you never fall without care. Security is top of mind for your home and mine. Making sure they know wherever they are is a safe space for playing and fun.
About: Our family has taken care of friends’ dogs and cats for four years or more. We are now offering our pet services to more ‘07 neighbors. During summers we are available at all waking hours of any days we’re not on a family vacation. During the school year we lose family pet minders during the school day but are available after school and on weekends. We have experience letting ourselves into owners’ homes while they are away to feed, walk, and let pets out for bathroom breaks. We also have a large fenced in yard occupied by our very friendly golden retriever to share with dogs who will treat him well.

About: I have experience caring for both large and small dogs, including a 2-year-old Great Dane and a pit bull mix puppy. Through this, I have developed strong skills in handling dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My dogs are well-socialized, friendly, and comfortable around both people and other animals, which reflects my commitment to proper care and positive interaction. As a stay-at-home parent, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I am available to supervise, engage in play, and ensure dogs receive regular outdoor time and exercise as needed. Your pet will have constant companionship and a safe, well-monitored environment while in my care. I maintain a consistent routine to support each dog’s comfort and well-being. In warmer weather, I provide outdoor breaks approximately every two hours, allowing time for exercise and play. Dogs also receive regular indoor play and engagement. In my home, pets are typically allowed to remain out of the crate, promoting a relaxed and comfortable environment while still ensuring their safety and supervision.
“Alexis is absolutely amazing in every way, upon first meeting her I could tell how kind hearted she was making it calm my mind of any worries that one may have leaving their fur babies with a stranger. Since Max has been going to Alexis he absolutely loves it, he had friends to play with and she makes sure they get plenty of play time and sends me updates throughout the day. At first Max would try to leave when I left after dropping him off, now he doesn't care about me when I drop him off. When I come to pick him up he is excited to see me but doesn't want to leave his friends. So I must say thank you Alexis for taking such good care of Max and giving him the love and care that I would while I'm at work I truly appreciate you and all that you do.”

“Alexis is absolutely awesome! She does such a great job watching Brutus and always makes sure he’s happy, safe, and well cared for. You can tell she genuinely cares about him, and that gives us total peace of mind. Brutus loves her, and we couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with him. Highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for someone reliable and amazing with dogs!”

About: I have owned dogs for most of my life, usually rescues from the pound until I fell in love with the keeshond breed. I have handled everything from 2 month old puppies to senior dogs. Hello. My name is Diana. I am a stay-at-home mom with 2 dogs of my own (a friendly but old lady 10 yr old Bischon Frise and a goofy, very active 10 month old Keeshond. I am willing to work with many different personalities and will cater to your dog’s specific needs. Rest assured that I will treat your dogs like they are part of my own family. I live in a clean, smoke free home with plenty of room for your furr baby to stretch their paws and have a good time. If they enjoy the outdoors im just a 10 minute walk to The Pufferbelly Trail. I will provide regular updates and focus on creating a safe, fun environment for every dog, ensuring they get tailored attention and enrichment. I'm excited to meet you and your furry friend! I have everything needed to take care of both puppies and elderly dogs. A large home with lots of space both inside and outside and plenty of toys for them to enjoy!
About: I have experience caring for dogs at all stages of life, from puppies to senior and those with special needs. I previously had a small blind incontinent senior terrier who has since gone over the rainbow bridge, so I understand the extra patience and attention required to make them feel comfortable. I have also raised and house-trained two puppies into adulthood, who are still with my family today! One of them is a unique mix of Belgian Malinois, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, German Shepherd, Alaskan Malamute, and Rottweiler (Try saying that five times fast!). We had his DNA tested, so we can now confidently confirm his impressive mutt status. His high energy and intelligence required consistent training and socialization. After raising him, it's safe to say that I'm comfortable with puppy routines, basic obedience training, and how to handle a wide range of temperaments and needs. What sets me apart is that I take the time to understand each dog's routine, personality and comfort level so they receive the best care that fits their individual needs. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, an active adult, or a gentle senior, I will provide the best and reliable care while you are away. I am currently homebound so your fur baby will have my full undivided attention! I recently lost my senior baby so having a temporary walking companion would be great therapy! In my home, your dog will be family. I follow each dog's routine, including feedings times/medications, and any special care instructions provided by the owner. I keep leashes and harnesses ready by the door so dogs are always secured before any potty breaks or walk. If a dog wants to just sunbathe outside, I also have a stake and tie out, so no fence, no problem! To help prevent accidents, stairs and basement access are blocked off at all times, and rooms remain closed. All interactions between dogs will be supervised and there will never be any forced introductions. If a dog needs time to decompress or prefers their own space, I have multiple safe options available, including an end-table crate in the main living area so they can remain close by while I relax, a standard metal crate, and a dedicated quiet room for dogs that may become overwhelmed or simply need a break.

“Deanna has skills. When our reactive rescue got out of the car, Deanna kept her hands relaxed and at her sides. She continued to talk with us and did not look at our girl. This is exactly how to meet an anxious dog! And our Portia responded by walking right up to Deanna and sniffing her. Portia walked with Rick this walkie. But Portia did walk between Deanna and him. She would normally be as far from anyone not us, as she could get! Most excellent! Our Mr. Baloo has never met a stranger and he was happy to make her acquaintance! We have already rebooked! Thanks Deanna!”

“We loved boarding our Everitt with Cory. He was very in tune and experienced with dogs and how they act and was understanding of our young dog’s behavior. When we picked her up we could tell she was well cared for and happy with her stay. We would use him again and would recommend him to anybody that is looking for somebody”

“Wonderful and attentive care givers for my senior dog. I received daily updates, they were perfect! We were afraid she wouldn’t want to come home, she received so much love and attention!”

“One of the best! Ted was well taken care of during his stay. Great communication and pictures every day. I felt very comfortable leaving Ted with Agnatha and her family. No doubt in my mind I will use her again when needed. Extremely professional and unlike a lot of others she followed Ted's feeding restrictions. Thanks to Agnatha and her family!”

“Jami was a great sitter for our dog, Gizmo! He enjoyed being outside in the fenced yard and all the extra attention. My family enjoyed a week long vacation knowing he was is good hands. Jami was very accommodating and flexible with drop off/pick up times. We will definitely will be rebooking for future vacations.”

About: I have had animals my entire life so I am very accustomed to taking care of pets. Our dog had seizures and had to take medication 2x/day. I know how important our animals are and what they mean to us. They are family. Having 3 pets of my own, animal care is in play 24 hours a day. Whether it's potty breaks, medications, or feeding time, I always make sure my animals are healthy and happy. Ensuring that they have food and water and a safe, warm place are of utmost importance. Providing love and affection because we are their whole world!
“Alexis was fantastic. She provided daily photos and updates, kept me informed about how Bella and Coco were doing, and even reached out when Coco wasn’t eating to make sure she got the right care. Highly recommend!”
