“Cannot say enough kind things about Mary and her husband Jack! Feel like Zeus is going to Family when they watch him. He’s happy to be dropped off and happy when I pick him up. It’s a vacation for Zeus when he comes. So grateful to have them, Mary is awesome, love her to pieces”
“Jackson was courteous and responsive and even waived a meet and greet based on our dogs pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated given our tight schedule and distance. Obi looked happy at pickup and we have no concerns. My daughter would’ve loved more pictures of Obi while we were away, but no real complaints here! Thank you!”
“Destinee stepped in and saved the day! Benny loved being at her house. She was amazing at sending pictures the whole time he was there! We will definitely be booking again!! She gave us great peace of mind that Benny was taken care of while we were gone!!”
“Samantha was great! She sent me pictures and updates everyday without my having to ask. Her home was clean and her dog was friendly. I will definitely utilize her services again!!”
“Our dog loved staying with Nicole & her family! She was responsive & sent us pictures and updates daily! She made sure that our dog felt like he was part of their family! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe family to watch their family while they are away! I will be using Nicole again in the future!”
“Sharon did an amazing job with my boy Dave! He was well cared for and and very happy when I picked him up. Her communication and daily pics were on point. I couldn't ask for a better sitter and will use again!”
“Nicole was excellent with our dog Prime. He is a larger very excitable dog and we always are concerned when finding a new sitter. But, Nicole was able to calm him and take him on walks. The pictures she sent during his stay showed a happy and content dog. We recommend Nicole highly and will definitely book again.”
“It is so easy to leave Hondo with Rachel and her family. They care about him, play with him, and give him affection just like he was one of their own. He always has dog company, their four-footed family and often, like this stay, other friendly and playful guests. We know they're supervised and well tended. Hondo's always glad to see us when we pick him up, but I swear he moons over not being at Rachel's for a few days and is always happy to go back!”
“Levi stayed with Stacy during the holiday and Stacy made sure to give us frequent updates. Her son and her pup were also really welcoming to our pups. Stacy also was really accommodating of our drop-off and pick-up!”
“Brooke and Bryan were so nice. My little girl is blind and Brooke was upfront with me that they have three young boys and wanted to make sure ISD Dolly would be comfortable or not. They had experience with blind dogs in the past so we decided to do a meet ‘n greet. Have fenced areas in front and back so I knew Dolly would be safe. I decided that this would be perfectly fine for her and was 100% correct. Dolly was right at home there. She picked out her favorite chair spots and found a good friend with one of the boys. I received pictures and updates while she was there. Highly recommend them. Will definitely use them again.”
“I’m so happy I picked Jacklyn to be my dog sitter . She was amazing and kept me updated about my fur baby . He loved her backyard. Can’t wait to book his next stay 😊”
“We were so pleased with the care Rubal and her family provided to willow. They were so attentive and provided plenty of updates. Willow was obviously very happy in the videos and photos throughout the stay. We would highly recommend Rubal's AMAZING services to anyone seeking a reliable and caring individual. It was a truly wonderful experience for boTH!”
“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Kelsey for our cat. We received daily updates and fun pics and Kelsey also went above and beyond to keep our spoiled cat comfortable with her usual habits 😄. I’m happy to recommend Kelsey to anyone and I hope she will always be available when we need care for Rain.”
“Can't recommend enough! My dog is a senior dog that needs some special medication and attention and Bowen has been so kind and sweet towards him and tend to his needs. ❤️”
“I will absolutely be asking Leah to watch my dog again while I’m out of town! From the beginning during the meet and greet I felt at ease with her knowledge of the German shepherd breed (since she has her own) and she would provide a great experience for my dog while I was away. She was constantly sending me updates with pictures/videos and I could see how comfortable my dog was with her and Shiloh. I was so nervous to leave my dog with someone for the first time but I truly could not have asked for a better experience. If you’re considering using Leah, please do! She will make sure your fur baby is taken care of. Thank you so much, Leah!!”
“Ash and her Husband, Mike, and their two beautiful children were a great match for our dog for the week we had to find boarding. They communicated very well. They were very sweet and truly loved our dog. It is always reassuring when the hosts love our dog just as much as we do! If I could give 10 stars I would. We are very grateful for them and will surely use their services again.”
“Weezer LOVES Tyree- and so do we! This is the 2nd year that he has watched Weezer for us and I cannot recommend him enough. When our flight got delayed due to winter storms, Tyree was so understanding about our ever changing boarding days. He sends me cute pictures of my buddy while Im away and I know Weezer is well taken care of at Tyree's house. Thanks again, Tyree!”
“She was so welcoming to my dog! Tex had a lot of fun running around and loved getting to hog the bed with them. She did a great job with Tex and sending me updates all weekend!”
“The duo took in my very nervous babies at the last minute. That matters because sometime life happens and preparation meets unexpected events. They are with me now and it is all worth it.”

“Christopher is amazing. He watched our 2 fur babies while we were out of the country for two weeks. He sent photos every day and went above and beyond to love and care for our cats like they were his own. He is trustworthy, dependable and next time we need a sitter I will definitely ask for Christopher again.”
“Teresa helped with a last minute change to our vacation plans where we needed to extend our time. She was very communicative and took very good care of our boys. We would love to use her in the future!”
“Stacey was great and very thorough! We were able to cover everything together beforehand. Even though my shy cat didn’t come out on the visits, she still made a great effort to talk to him and let me know how he was doing!”
“Heather was the BEST! I’ve never used Rover before, but now I’m sure to rebook. There weren’t any issues and she went above and beyond (cleaned water filter, vacuumed, etc). Gave me such peace of mind while I was away”
“Jessica was wonderful with my 2 cats! She is super friendly and my cats walked right up to her to say hi. She sends detailed updates with lots of pictures. She is super communicative which is good for this anxious cat mom! I plan to use her again when traveling in the future.”

“Jackson was great! We’ve never used rover before but had a great experience with him. The dogs loved him and he was easy to talk to. We felt super comfortable leaving our pups in his care. We will come back to him again and again!”
“Sharon was fantastic! Appears my dogs never even missed us! Ideal arrangement for us to have her watch them while we visited with a friend and her husband when passing through Indianapolis on our way to Wisconsin from our home outside Nashville, TN. Thank you Sharon! I highly recommend others use Sharon if wanting a loving home your pets can stay at when not able to accompany you. I have one dog around 60 lbs and other around 20 lbs. both rotten so loving care is what I want when needing an alternate care arrangement. Sharon met our needs! Now back on the highway.”
“This is my first time using a sitter on Rover and it’s been a great experience. I love the pics I get sent showing how much fun Karley had all day. My girl is tired when she gets home so I know she’s getting plenty of attention and exercise. I’m so thankful to have a reliable and loving home to take her to while I’m at work. I would highly recommend Destinee.”

About: Hi, we're Ash and Mike! In our house, dogs are considered part of the family, and yours will be treated like one of our own. We've lived with and loved dogs for many years, so we know what it's like to leave your pup with someone else, and how much it means when they're in good hands. We're comfortable with all kinds of dogs: playful puppies, high-energy dogs, smart pups who need a job to do, anxious dogs who need patience and reassurance, and seniors who need a little extra support. We're also experienced with more involved medical care, including eye drops, insulin injections, oral medications, and help with incontinence. Our schedule is flexible. Ash works from home full-time over the summer and is only out a couple of afternoons a week during the school year, and Mike is home two days a week and is hands-on with the dogs too, so your pup will have steady company throughout the day. We have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks, and Ash runs regularly and is happy to take dogs out for exercise when appropriate. We’re equally happy to provide walks, playtime, snuggles, and always have a calm home environment to meet your dog’s needs. One note: with two young kids at home (ages 4 and 6), we can only host dogs who are comfortable around children. Pet care fits naturally into our days. Ash works from home full-time over the summer and is only out a couple of afternoons a week during the school year, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. Mike is hands-on with the dogs too. Between us, your pup will have steady company, regular walks, playtime, and a calm house to settle into. Ash runs and walks regularly and loves to bring visiting dogs out with her. We treat every dog like part of the family while they're here. Being away from home can be stressful for a pet, so we focus on a calm, safe, loving environment with lots of attention, affection, and supervision. Between Ash and Mike, there's almost always someone around, so your dog won't be left alone for long. Dogs are welcome to relax with us, get plenty of snuggles, and head outside often for potty breaks and fresh air. We have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and play. We pay close attention to each dog's routine, personality, and comfort level, whether they're energetic and playful or happier in a quieter setting. We're glad to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walk routines, and any other care preferences you share. Our goal is for your dog to feel safe, cared for, and as at-home as possible while you're away.

People say I'm an "animal person" because I like all animals...even snakes :) I have a very flexible schedule and am available most times of the day and each day of the week. I usually prefer dogs to have a harness rather than a collar just for safety of the pet. I will enjoy getting to know the pets in my community! Please let me know if you have any specific questions about the care I can provide.

About: I’ve grown up with a large family, siblings older and younger. All living under the same roof, giving me no other choice but to have a great amount of patience. Any pet owner like myself knows, you have to amazing patience to be the best pet owner. I have a fur baby of my own and would want him to be with someone who has experience and is truly genuine like myself. I am currently a full time college student who will be home on a very extended break. I feel helping others taking care of their babies is the best thing for me. I have a fur baby myself who is quite young in age and full of energy, so with permission of course I would allow our doggies to play together to burn a lot of that energy. I’m also very capable of completing any task wished by my client.
“Paola helped me out last minute and was able to provide 2 long walks for my dog while I worked a 14 hour shift. 💗 She sent me so many pictures and I think he likes her more than he likes me!”
“AMAZING! Spectacular! There isn’t a word to express how amazing Jason and Tania are! Kona was treated like a king :) Tania sent the best pictures and always let me know how Kona was feeling. She communicated every concern and showed how much she loves what she does. After a few walks she figured out his likes and dislikes and just let my pup do his thing whether that was rolling in the grass and just chilling or watching all the squirrels. Kona also LOVED Tania, you could tell by the pictures. I was always at ease knowing that Kona was being cared for so wonderfully. Not only are the best people ever, they are also extremely flexible and are amazing communicators. When ever I had a last minute walk needed or a change in schedule they were eager to help make that change. They will be Kona's number one choice for walks for life. ❤️”
About: Having education in mental health and a frustration-based reactive dog myself has led me to learn so much about cat&dog behavior. I know what it’s like to leave your pet with someone who might not know all their quirks. I hope working with me will put your mind at ease. I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and diverse temperaments. I feel knowledgeable about pet body language and care. I am comfortable with administering medications and have experience with puppies. I have owned and have experience caring for cats, dogs, and rabbits. I’ve had two long term fosters of cats with differing temperaments (one was the sweetest and one was possibly feral oops) and I currently have two dogs, a stubborn sweet great pyr and a goofy reactive mixed breed. My housesitting rate includes services in either 3 extended drop ins or overnight care from 7p-9a or 6:30p-8:30a with one midday drop in between 11a-3p. If your pets require more frequent care, I am not the best sitter for you. I also offer 30 min drop in service which may be scheduled throughout the day. I am not able to accept extended overnight stays at this time. I am happy to provide care to your pet in your home. I will provide daily pictures and written updates on pet behavior. My care will follow the instructions given. Please disclose any resource guarding, bite history, or reactivity your pet displays when you inquire about my services. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet!
About: I have a master's and bachelor's in animal science and plenty of experience with an array of different animal needs, demeanors, and personalities. Taking care of animals is truly what I love to do. Pet care is built into my routine through daily feeding, walks, playtime, and grooming, plus weekly cleaning and health checks. It provides structure to my day and keeps me active, mindful, and consistent. I care for pets by providing regular feeding, exercise, supervision, and enrichment. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I use a designated area in my apartment where dogs can safely roam, play, and relax, along with scheduled walks and attentive care.

About: When I was a kid, I helped my grandfather on his horse farm and would take care of the barn cats. Since then, I have lived in a 3 cat household where two of the cats did not get along and created a schedule so they could both be happy. I can bathe a pet myself if needed, as I have done this for my cat Juniper. My grandparents have two smaller dogs Ginger and Cleo I have cared for for a few days. We have fun taking walks and exploring nature. For bigger dogs, when I was in high school, I would help with the neighbors' Bernese mountain dog Abby, and I have spent a lot of time with my aunt A's doodle Bruno. I have also spent time with medium size dogs, as my aunt B has two pitbull mixes, that are very affectionate and love the dog park. I know that all dogs have different needs and I try to met them. This means that with my uncle’s older pup we won’t do any jogging, but with my aunt’s younger doodle we will definitely jog a bit. I work in education and currently have my days free to spend with furry friends. This means I can be flexible when it comes to pet sitting and spending the night. I am a very friendly, clean, and organized person and I’ll make sure that if I am coming over to your home that food is served and any accidents are cleaned up. As long as you give me a list of what needs to happen for your furry friend, I’ll make sure it gets done. From crating your pup to tricking your pet to take their medication For pups, I will ensure they’ll get the amount of walks needed a day, as well as some outdoor playtime with whatever games they like to play. I will make sure that there is no poop left on our path and check to make sure there isn't anything concerning. Plus, I will feed them according to their schedule. For cats, I will ensure that they get two square meals a day and that their water is never empty. I will also pet and play with them as much as they desire because some cats are more recluse than others. I will also scoop out their litter box, and clean out the litter box if needed

I’m happy to handle feedings, litter box maintenance, and plenty of "slow blinks." 🏠 My "Moose" Crew at Home My home is shared with Buttercup, my sweet 5-year-old blue nose Staffordshire Terrier, and my two feline house-rulers. Because I live with a Staffy, I am especially comfortable and experienced with "bully breeds" and larger, powerful dogs. 🤝 The Silly Moose Promise Whether it’s boarding, walking, or house sitting, I know your pets are your family. My background in hospitality and community work means I bring a high level of reliability, attention to detail, and clear communication to every booking. Ready to start the cycle? Let’s Walk. Wag. Repeat. I am a Letter Carrier for the United States Post Office, I love animals and will always make time to meet new friends. I am in a transition phase in my career post injury and am trying to be a full time pet friend. At Silly Moose & Co, my care philosophy is built on the cycle of Walk. Wag. Repeat. I believe that a happy pet is one that feels safe, stimulated, and understood. Here is how I ensure your furry family member gets the best experience: 1. Building Trust Through Patience Every pet has a unique "vibe." Drawing from my experience with Sketchy Mutts and Underdogs, I never force a connection. I use "slow blinks" with cats and respectful body language with dogs to let them come to me. Whether they are shy rescues or high-energy "Silly Mooses," I meet them where they are. 2. Structured Walks & Sensory Play As a Letter Carrier, I know the streets like the back of my hand. I don’t just "walk" dogs; I provide structured outings. This includes sniffing breaks for mental stimulation (sensory play) and consistent pacing to ensure they get the physical exercise they need. 3. Meticulous Routine & Safety Pets thrive on consistency. I stick strictly to your feeding, medication, and bathroom schedules. My background in hospitality means I have a sharp eye for detail—I check water bowls, ensure gates are latched, and keep litter boxes "deep-clean" fresh for my feline clients. 4. Communication is Key I know how much you miss them! You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can see the "Wag" in action. I treat your home with the same respect I give my own, ensuring everything is secure and tidy. 5. Specialized Skills From handling "bully breeds" like my Staffy, Buttercup, to administering medications or even bathing a reluctant cat, I have the hands-on experience to handle the unexpected with a calm, steady hand.

“Cannot say enough kind things about Mary and her husband Jack! Feel like Zeus is going to Family when they watch him. He’s happy to be dropped off and happy when I pick him up. It’s a vacation for Zeus when he comes. So grateful to have them, Mary is awesome, love her to pieces”
“Jackson was courteous and responsive and even waived a meet and greet based on our dogs pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated given our tight schedule and distance. Obi looked happy at pickup and we have no concerns. My daughter would’ve loved more pictures of Obi while we were away, but no real complaints here! Thank you!”
“Destinee stepped in and saved the day! Benny loved being at her house. She was amazing at sending pictures the whole time he was there! We will definitely be booking again!! She gave us great peace of mind that Benny was taken care of while we were gone!!”
“Our dog loved staying with Nicole & her family! She was responsive & sent us pictures and updates daily! She made sure that our dog felt like he was part of their family! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe family to watch their family while they are away! I will be using Nicole again in the future!”
“Sharon did an amazing job with my boy Dave! He was well cared for and and very happy when I picked him up. Her communication and daily pics were on point. I couldn't ask for a better sitter and will use again!”
“Nicole was excellent with our dog Prime. He is a larger very excitable dog and we always are concerned when finding a new sitter. But, Nicole was able to calm him and take him on walks. The pictures she sent during his stay showed a happy and content dog. We recommend Nicole highly and will definitely book again.”
“It is so easy to leave Hondo with Rachel and her family. They care about him, play with him, and give him affection just like he was one of their own. He always has dog company, their four-footed family and often, like this stay, other friendly and playful guests. We know they're supervised and well tended. Hondo's always glad to see us when we pick him up, but I swear he moons over not being at Rachel's for a few days and is always happy to go back!”
“Brooke and Bryan were so nice. My little girl is blind and Brooke was upfront with me that they have three young boys and wanted to make sure ISD Dolly would be comfortable or not. They had experience with blind dogs in the past so we decided to do a meet ‘n greet. Have fenced areas in front and back so I knew Dolly would be safe. I decided that this would be perfectly fine for her and was 100% correct. Dolly was right at home there. She picked out her favorite chair spots and found a good friend with one of the boys. I received pictures and updates while she was there. Highly recommend them. Will definitely use them again.”
“We were so pleased with the care Rubal and her family provided to willow. They were so attentive and provided plenty of updates. Willow was obviously very happy in the videos and photos throughout the stay. We would highly recommend Rubal's AMAZING services to anyone seeking a reliable and caring individual. It was a truly wonderful experience for boTH!”
“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Kelsey for our cat. We received daily updates and fun pics and Kelsey also went above and beyond to keep our spoiled cat comfortable with her usual habits 😄. I’m happy to recommend Kelsey to anyone and I hope she will always be available when we need care for Rain.”
“Can't recommend enough! My dog is a senior dog that needs some special medication and attention and Bowen has been so kind and sweet towards him and tend to his needs. ❤️”
“I will absolutely be asking Leah to watch my dog again while I’m out of town! From the beginning during the meet and greet I felt at ease with her knowledge of the German shepherd breed (since she has her own) and she would provide a great experience for my dog while I was away. She was constantly sending me updates with pictures/videos and I could see how comfortable my dog was with her and Shiloh. I was so nervous to leave my dog with someone for the first time but I truly could not have asked for a better experience. If you’re considering using Leah, please do! She will make sure your fur baby is taken care of. Thank you so much, Leah!!”
“Weezer LOVES Tyree- and so do we! This is the 2nd year that he has watched Weezer for us and I cannot recommend him enough. When our flight got delayed due to winter storms, Tyree was so understanding about our ever changing boarding days. He sends me cute pictures of my buddy while Im away and I know Weezer is well taken care of at Tyree's house. Thanks again, Tyree!”
“She was so welcoming to my dog! Tex had a lot of fun running around and loved getting to hog the bed with them. She did a great job with Tex and sending me updates all weekend!”
“The duo took in my very nervous babies at the last minute. That matters because sometime life happens and preparation meets unexpected events. They are with me now and it is all worth it.”
“This was only our 2nd time leaving our pup since we adopted her. The first time (at a kennel) didn’t go well. A friend suggested Rover as an alternative. Lauren accommodated a last-minute booking, put our mind an ease, communicated promptly, and kept us updated while we were away. Thalia had a great time playing with her new friends and came home ready for a nap! Thanks, Lauren!”
“Garrett and his girlfriend were such lifesavers for watching harvey while I was gone. It was the longest I've left him before but I felt so comfortable the whole time knowing he was happy and safe. They kept me updated with photos and videos the whole time!”
“Will definitely be using again! They were so sweet to our pups and kept us updated throughout their stay. They also took our concerns and requests seriously especially with one of our more behavioral dogs. Can’t thank them enough!”
“We love Jill, and my pets are so excited the moment we pull onto her street because they know they're going to have a great time playing. I know that in her hands, my two dogs and my cat are safe, and when I pick them up they are exhausted from all the fun. She also offers grooming services!”
“David was so great to my two frenchies. We completed a meet and greet and I knew within minutes of my dogs exploring and meeting the pack that this would be a great fit. They got to make new friends and be part of a very well behaved pack. They received lots of activity in his large enclosed yard with plenty of space to run or explore. Dogs were bathed on pickup and looked happy and healthy. David send daily videos which were greatly appreciated. I will definitely be using David for all my travel plans knowing my dogs are in good hands.”
