“I highly recommend Alejandra. She took great care of my Josie. She sent messages and pictures and videos. Her family gave Josie lots of love and she really enjoyed her walks and running around in the fenced in yard!”
“Leandra did a great job taking care of Millie at my apartment. She was trustworthy and I could tell felt comfortable taking care of a rather anxious, but sweet little dog. I would rebook with her in a heartbeat.”
“Lynnette provided excellent care for our dog while we were away for the weekend. She is very thorough and professional in her approach to care, and her home had a wonderful set up to make our dog's stay comfortable. Very quick response times on all communication and we received lot of updates and pictures to confirm he was having a good time. Highly recommend!”
“We loved having Jennifer & Larry watch our two girls. They sent us pictures and updates 2x a day. And our girls were really happy with being able to explore inside and outside as they had access to go outside on their own. 100% will ask them to watch our girls again.”
“Tiffani was absolutely fantastic with Apollo! She sent updates and pictures and kept me completely informed about how everything was going. I'll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her!”
“Josie and Michael took care of our Mabel during our first time away from her since adopting. She’s been an extremely timid pup, not having any socialization or experiences outside the kennel where she was born through her first 6 months of life. Every time she learns something new is safe she grows more in confidence. We returned after four days to find that supervised playtime with a few other dogs Josie and Michael were caring for was the BEST experience for her yet! She’s absolutely more outgoing and comfortable greeting new people and dogs now, and that’s even better than we hoped for!”
“Chris took great care of our Vizsla, Kona. He gave us daily updates and pictures and walked her regularly. Just before drop off Kona had an unexpected trip to the vet due to a potential ear infection. When we brought the meds at drop off for him to administer for the week, he was very accommodating and gave them to her each day. We would definitely use Chris again!”
“Kat was great to work with and our golden Doodle, Augie, gives her 5 stars. We got pictures during her stay and everything was ready when we came to pick her up. We will definitely schedule with Kat again.”
“Lindsay was a lifesaver when my usual boarder went out of business shortly before our trip. She sent several updates throughout the week. Communicated at every step. Will use again. Thanks Lindsay!”
“Andrew was a great sitter! Sent lots of videos and photos and did an awesome job taking care of our pregnant dog! He helped her during labor, and took care of the puppies. He even bathed the mother, and got her treats.”
“Paul & Kelly took excellent care of Dewey and were easy to work with. I came over before my trip for a meet & greet and they were very reassuring. I got regular updates & pictures. Dewey loved the big yard & got lots of gentle attention & play time from the Boys.”
“Lanae did an awesome job with sending us pictures and letting us know that Molly was having a great time. We will definitely be using Lanae again, if the need arises, when we are in the area. Thanks again for a great job!”
“Kimberlee took the best care of our two dogs!! We received pictures and updates every day and they seemed so happy and loved! I am definitely going to rely on Kimberlee again to watch them when we go out of town!!”
“Our dog is a full-fledged and much loved member of the family, and we felt very comfortable leaving her with Betty. I appreciated knowing that Betty is an experienced dog rescuer and caretaker. Her neighborhood and home were very nice. We loved receiving pictures and updates. Our dog often experiences stomach upset when stressed and she had none of that after staying with Betty! We definitely plan to have Lucy stay with her again. Highly recommended!!! :)”
“Our 2nd visit to Katelin. Fantastic communication. Really appreciated the adorable daily update photos! Keke had a blast with her friends and was well taken care of. :)”
“Victoria took really good care of Beans, kept me updated and always responded to my messages quickly. She was kind and had a great environment for pups. She took her for walks and let her sleep with her in the bed. Beans had a great time there!”
“Pam is fantastic! I had a personal friend back our of sitting my dogs at the last minute so I contacted Pam, and within 30 minutes, she contacted me back and was ready to pick them up from my home! She clearly cares about the pups she sits for and obviously has experience with dogs of all types and ages. I loved how quick, courteous, and attentive she is. I would 100% recommend and use her again!”
“Kevin was amazing with our 8 month old bernadoodle. He was great with communication and we knew our dog was in good hands. We appreciated the frequent updates and photographs. We will definitely be using Kevin again in the future!”

“Adriana watched my cat Zebra for almost a week. She kept in touch and sent pics/videos, as well as watered my plants and kept an eye on the house. Everything was perfect when I got home. Will certainly use her services again.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to really get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience working with goats, cats, dogs and lizards, chickens and even horses, along with senior pets. I’m patient and consistent when it comes to basic training, potty routines, exercising and helping reinforce good habits. I know how important that is, so I focus on structure, positive reinforcement, and lots of encouragement. For senior pets, I have lots of experience in administering medication, and sticking closely to their routine, or providing extra attention and care. Reliability and communication are very important to me. I make sure you stay updated with messages, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel happy, secure, and cared for every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time and remote, so I have plenty of flexibility to help others take care of their fur baby. You can count on me! I provide a safe, loving environment. I currently have a 4-year-old Bernedoodle who is everything to me. I grew up surrounded by animals and have always had a strong love for them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors by dropping in to care for their pets, feeding them, spending quality time with them, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s routine closely, give them plenty of attention, and create a calm, safe environment where they feel at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family
“Raquel did a great job. I really appreciate her putting our Chewey order away too. (Always seems to come when I am gone.) She checked w/ me when she had questions and gained the trust of our timid kitty.”
“Christy cared for Cookie and always updated me on how my cat was doing....it was great peace of mind for me. Christy even brought to my attention when there were concerns about too much self scratching going on. I will have Christy pet sit for me from here on out!”
“Kaylie did a wonderful job caring for our dog and cat. She followed all the instructions we gave and made sure to give them both lots of attention and petting. We would definitely hire her again.”
“Hanna is awesome! I am glad she has been there for me all of this time, and will miss her when she moves. Anyone who needs someone to look after their babies near her new home would be more than pleased with her responsiveness and understanding. Thanks Hanna for all you’ve done!”
“My cat had a rough time adjusting at first and she was so patient with him as he was settling in! After he adjusted he loved being there, and I love the pictures I got from Anna from his stay! If I ever need someone to watch him again I will definitely be going to Anna!”
“Ms. Lauren seems to be new to Rover, but is destined for top billing in Michiana. She was chosen for the convenience of proximity to our drop-in visit home, and turned out to be as outstanding and conscientious as it's possible to be. We've had four Rover visitors over 4 years and two homes, and we say without hesitation that Lauren is the best. Better snap her up before her schedule fills!”
“Lindsay is amazing! She had no problem taking care of my special needs cat - she even cleaned up all the messes he made due to his medical issues. She was prompt, communicated with me the whole trip, and I came home to very happy cats. Definitely will book with her again!”
“Casey recently spent the night with our senior cat who struggles with separation anxiety, and we returned to a very calm and happy kitty! Casey is always very communicative, sending photos and updates during her stay. We're completely comfortable having Casey stay in our home - she always leaves everything just as it was and is very neat and conscientious.”
“Alyssa was a great cat sitter for my three cats over thanksgiving break. She was very friendly, easy to work with and went above and beyond anything I could have expected. She reliably came every visit I scheduled, sent me photos and provided daily updates. This helped me relax and focus on my trip. When I returned home, my cats, who are used to me being home all day with them, were happy and everything looked exactly as it did when we left. I would definitely use her again.”
About: Growing up there was always one kitty in the house. I also had my own cat at my grandmas that I had since I was little. I have experience with kittens and old cats. I also have the quiet space for an old cat to get away from the dogs.
“Mya was great! My cats are somewhat shy but came out for feedings and pets when she did drop ins. She provided pictures and updates each day. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
“Kiersten was kind enough to take a last minute booking and did a great job with all of our cats. We we fostering and had a full house and some unique instructions and she handled it like a pro. Plan on booking again in the future!”
About: I'm an avid animal lover with years of experience. I am an active sitter who loves to go for walks and play fetch. I have had experience with both puppies and elderly dogs. My schedule is pretty open, so I'm available for any most type of pet care upon request. I would be sure to check up on them as frequently as I would take out my own dogs. I am highly aware of a dogs need to be ran around and I myself get super anxious thinking about a dog being indoors for too long. I will love your pets like they are my own and give you frequent updates. Pet care has been a huge part of my life for so long. As a long time dog owner, I understand the importance of them being taken out frequently and given daily love. I also work from home so I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. I follow instructions to a T but also feel comfortable doing regular pet care as I would my own dogs. I also grew up with cats so I know what needs to be done for them as well.
About: I've been taking care of my own and others' pets since I was a baby! I've trained a few puppies on how to sit and stay, come here, and generally behaving better. I promise I'll ensure your pets are not only safe but happy! Please note that I don't accept German Shepherds under 3 years old or Huskies. I go to sleep and wake up after everyone else in my family, so we can let your dog out to a fenced-in yard on a very consistent basis. I have a fenced-in yard, very friendly dog, and three cats to keep your pets entertained and exercising. Whether or not your dog is good with cats, ours will actively avoid the dogs anyway - just so long as your dogs aren’t actively violent towards them.

“I can’t say how impressed I am with Tammie. I was visiting family and am from Iowa, Tammie was more then accommodating and welcoming. I could tell she likes what she does and cares about her canine clients. Her home is set up for the dogs and, even with multiple dogs, stays clean. My Corgi was comfortable right way. I used Tammies daycare twice, the second time my Corgi couldn’t wait to get in the door. I will be using Tammie services whenever I visit, no question about it!”
“Very easy to communicate with and drop off/pick up was very smooth. Our girl is timid in new areas but it sounds like she adjusted well! She was all tuckered out when she got home! Would for sure book Chris again.”
“Lindsay was extremely accommodating to my schedule! She welcomed Millie in and gave her a second home while I was at work. I felt at peace knowing Lindsay was taking great care of Millie and giving her all the love and attention she deserved.”
“Jennifer and Larry were awesome. Nestli was excited to enter their house the moment he got there, and immediately began exploring the fenced yard with joy. He was happy to be there, and when we picked him up, he made sure to give Jennifer several kisses and wiggle butts goodbye. Obviously, Jennifer and Larry took great care of Nestli, and also accommodated our extra time needs for our event, for which we are very grateful!”
About: New to Rover.com but 10+ years of fostering over 400 babies for local shelters. They were all spoiled by the time they were ready for adoption. (No apologies for that 🙃) Your pet will be well cared for/spoiled while they visit! I can take two dogs, for the safety of your pet(s) and mine, only if they are from the same household. Love animals and miss fostering I did while in California. Your family member will be in caring hands who has years of experience with puppies and kittens who needed medication. I’m retired and have all the time in the world. 🤭 I still foster and mark my calendar as unavailable when I have foster babies. You can always ask if there is room for one more. 😉 New home with half acre fenced yard. Have a very active border collie who wants a playmate. My animals have always had the run of the house but I can provide a crate if need be. If you need an extended period of time, let me know. My last foster was 6 months old, from a local shelter and was here for over 2 months.
“Betty is a nice, reliable, experienced caretaker that gives the best care to the dog. My dog Dobby had a very enjoyable afternoon with Betty and her dogs in the big backyard. She also takes lots of pics for update, I would definitely recommend Betty to everyone.”
“Josie has been responsive and is very kind and provided a lot of reassurance my first time leaving Winston for the day. He enjoyed playing and being outdoors running around the backyard. He comes home tired and is always happy and excited to see Josie.”
“I’ve been bringing my dog, Mykonos, to Lynn for daycare, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Every morning, he gets so excited to go back, which says everything about how comfortable and happy he feels with her. He comes home calm and content, showing no signs of stress or anxiety. It gives me real peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Lynn clearly cares deeply for the dogs she looks after, and I’m grateful for the warm, safe environment she provides.”
“Jamie was wonderful! Her communication was excellent, she sent plenty of photos and updates throughout the day. My dogs came home so happy and tired, I know they had such a fun time.”
“Kimberlee and her husband (and their son) were all great with LiLi! LiLi was already playing with their sweet and very friendly dog, Odie, when I was leaving. I got lots of pictures and communication throughout the day. I was happy to see a blur where LiLi’s tail would have been. 😂 She had so much fun. I highly recommend Kimberlee and her family and definitely will use them again!!”
“Andrew and his dog, James, are great! LiLi went over for the day yesterday and when James dropped her off back home, at the end of the day, she stood by the door until she was sure he wasn’t outside anymore. I love knowing she’s happy when I’m at work!”
About: Dogs are a part of my soul and will be well cared for. Including walks, playtime, food, water and a doggy door. I cannot wait to meet your pup. I am a stay at home dog Mom. I am always available unless I am running errands. I do 2 meals a day and walk in the afternoon. My pets rule the roost. I will take care of your pets as if they are my own. Also, if I am in your home I will be respectful as if it is my own.
“Flexible and an understanding caregiver for our active poodle. We were visiting out of state and Sonny was able to accommodate us last minute. Sonny sent us photos, videos, and updates through-out the day, which helped my family be more at ease. We will be using Sonny’s services when we visit next time.”
“Anna was great to work with. We're new to Rover and she answered any questions and was very accommodating to our needs for the day care. We're from out of town and using Rover and Anna made our stay easy for times during the day when our dog could not be with us. We would definitely use Anna when back in the area.”
“Katherine was great. She took great care of Snuggles. We have an older dog and she made sure she was comfortable with her dogs before we dropped her off. As a bonus she gave her a bath so she came house fluffy and smelling good.”
“I had a great experience and would highly recommend! Supitsara is very caring and knowledgeable about dogs, and really nice in general. She provided pictures and updates. I had no hesitations leaving my dog. Thank you again.”
“Wonderful doggy daycare experience. Brock had a great time hanging out with his two new buddies and loved roaming around the beautiful garden. Emily was a great communicator and sent the sweetest updates. Would book again in a heartbeat. Thanks y’all!”
About: Hello! I’m Valeria (you can call me Val) and I am a part time pet sitter. I currently work full time remotely. I enjoy running/walking at the park so having a partner tag along won’t be a problem. I am willing to provide any extra care your dog may need. This includes providing snacks, preparing specific meals, or even spending extra time outside. I have experience handling dogs, cats, birds, small animals and even chickens! I don’t have experience with senior dogs or giving injections/oral medication but I am willing to learn and will provide the best service for your babies needs. Feel free to message me for your specific needs or if you have any questions. Thanks! I usually let clients know my availability and advice on how I will structure my schedule to best accommodate their pets needs. During weekdays my availability is flexible because I work from home. I like to tour homes to be aware of exits/entrances, restricted areas (if there are any), and exchange contact info in case of an emergency.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I’ve potty trained them, taught them how to walk with a leash, taught them tricks like sit stay and say your prayers, and too many to say. I will spoil your fur babies like I do mine. You would never have any worries while you’re away they will be in good hands. I love and enjoy being around dogs and or cats. I’d send you videos and or pictures of your fur baby. Some owners have their fur babies on a schedule if so I will do the same. if there is a park nearby I’d probably take them there. But first I would ask the owner what they would like me to do sense it is their pet. I'm retired so I'm flexible. My routine is the fur babies routine. I'd like to keep it that way for them, so I would need to know. I have a fenced in yard, not big for big dogs tho. They will be fed, played with and cuddled. If they need to be caged I have a large one for their comfort.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since my sophomore year in high school! I’ve never had an issue with a pet and love being able to help :) I’m currently on my summer break so I would like my availability to be Monday- Friday and I can make exceptions on weekends for emergencies :) I have a fenced in yard but prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of your own home as I think that makes meeting and interacting with your pet much easier and comfortable!
About: Hello, my name’s Anna. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 26. My family got a golden doodle several years ago and he has definitely been a joy and a task. Having a dog such as mine has made me more comfortable in my dog caring skills and fairly knowledgeable about what needs dogs have. I’m also very well equipped to handle puppies as I recently got a cocker spaniel several months ago. But given that, my passion for dogs continues to grow. I now as an independent adult have 2 dogs who I’ve had the pleasure of raising as puppies to where they are at now. I work full time but like to stay active and adding furry friends to the mix on my days off is no big task. I would love to see more dog friends and help them socialize and make someone’s life easier. I don’t have a fenced in back yard, but I am capable of taking dogs on as many walks as needed. I am also capable of putting dogs in a crate and preparing them for crating as long as needed.
About: I’ve always been asked to take care of animals by friends and family. I’ve always been asked to pet sit due to my love for animals and my ability to love them as my own. I’m currently working part time and am taking college classes online at Western Governors University! I enjoy the flexibility of pet sitting and how well it works with my schedule and how I also get to build bonds with animals! Fenced in yard with two cats. We do not accept animals that have no experience with cats/ dogs not get along with cats. We also require meet and greets to provide the best care for your animals make sure our home is a good fit.
About: Within the past couple years I started my own small business in pet transportation. I received licensing from the USDA and am knowledgeable in best practices in caring for pets while their families are away. I truly believe that our pets are our family and will aim to make your pets feel loved and well-cared for while you’re away. Beyond my own pets, transporting gave me experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I do have references to attest for the high standard of care I will provide. I am no longer transporting pets due to being away from my family (pets and humans) for extended periods of time. Recently I have become a stay at home mom, but really miss all the extra animals I got to love on. My availability is pretty flexible throughout the week now and I’m excited to meet your furry family members! I am available to care for your pet in your home or through walking. I will accept puppies/young dogs for boarding and doggy daycare in my home as I have my own large dogs, who are friendly, but intimidated by other large dogs. This can include feeding, administering medicine, walking, play time, crating, etc. I will always aim to stick to you and your pet’s schedule. I have a couple of years of experience in a vet office, initially attending college for veterinary medicine.
About: I've cared for many pets since my teenage years. I'll provide lots of love and fun for your pupper, while also paying close attention to them and providing for their needs. I'm currently available weekends after 7 AM to provide care for your fur baby. Sometimes I have one day available during the week after 12PM. I have lots of yard for your pet to run around freely in and have fun. I have a friendly mini goldendoodle of my own to keep your pup company.
About: Hello everyone! Thank you for considering me to take care of your furbabies! I have two dogs of my own aged 5 and 4, so I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy and caring to watch your pets when needed! I have watched dogs ranging from full grown german shepherds to small puppies. I volunteered at my local animal shelter, Pet Refuge, five years ago and discovered my passion for animals! I have experience with caring for numerous sizes, ages, and breeds of dogs through both my past volunteer experience and my work here through Rover over the past 4 years. These dogs include pit bulls, golden retrievers, australian shepherds, poodles and doodles, labs, chihuahuas, beagles, bulldogs, terriers, and many mixes in between. My experience includes walking, feeding, giving oral medicine, and knowledge of the various traits and behaviors of dogs. I have learned many skills on how to interact with dogs and how to read their body language. I have been so fortunate to expand further on all of these skills through my own work full-time here on Rover with my daily clients, as well as my every-once-in-awhile pet pals that just need someone when their parents go on vacation! I also had a childhood cat who lived to be 18 years old, and adopted two kittens last year who just recently turned one! Therefore, I do have experience with cat duties as well including litter box cleaning and feeding. I love working with animals. I am currently pet-sitting full time in hopes to one day create my own business and expand! I am so passionate and appreciate all of my current and past pet parents so much for allowing me to take care of their pets! My schedule is generally completely open according to my availability and I would love to hear from you! I am super flexible! Outside of my Rover schedule I stay at home with my own two dogs and two kitties! As I previously stated, I have a few pets of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and honest. Communication is key for my care and I am always updating, asking questions, and communicating with the parent while I care for their pet. Who doesn’t love lots of updates? I go with your pets pace, so if it’s a puppy full of energy we’ll be sure to play a lot - but if you have a senior who likes to relax, we will! Whatever your dogs (or cats) needs are I am there to fulfill them!
“Lindsay was wonderful! She was able to help me out with a last minute dog walk request for our puppy. She was easy to communicate with, super friendly, and gave our Boomer lots of love and attention. We will be using her again ☺️”
“Kimberlee was great! She was responsive to my request. She was on time for both walks and sent pictures of Finn. I will definitely use her again in the future and highly recommend that you book her as well.”
About: Animals have been in my life since I was born. Cats, dogs, rodents, fish... even spiders! I've loved and cared for them all. I'm confident around all pets no matter their size or demeanor Working in education, my summers are always guaranteed off so I have plenty of time for your animals! Mornings, afternoons, evenings...even emergency visits! I can do them all. Including WEEKEND AVAILABILITY Any instructions given about your fur baby will be followed to a T. They are my number one priority and will always be treated as such.
About: I brought home my first puppy of my own, Tucker, almost 2 years ago! He is my very best bud and I work diligently to make sure I’m raising him right! I love dogs of all sizes and love getting to spend time with them. I’ve attend quite a few dog training sessions to be prepared for certain situations! I’d love to help take care of your pup while you’re away! I work 8-3, but I let my dog out during my lunch break everyday! Your pup won’t be kept inside for more than 4 hours at a time. Once I’m home, I spend lots of time walking my dog or playing outside in the backyard! After doing a meet & greet, I am perfectly comfortable coming to your house to watch over your pups for you! If you would like me to keep them at my house, I would like to do a meet and greet with my own pup to make sure both of them feel comfortable with each other! I have a fenced in backyard and way too many toys!
About: I've been caring for pets since childhood - feeding, walking, bathing, and building trust with animals of all temperaments. I treat every pet like family, tuning into their needs with calm and compassionate care. My schedule is very flexible! I am available most weekdays & weekends, and I am happy to adjust to your pet’s routine and specific needs. I currently provide pet care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in a familiar, stress-free environment. I am respectful, dependable, and follow your routines with care. Whether I’m staying overnight or stopping by for walks, your pet’s safety & well-being are always my top priorities. I will share updates as often as you’d like, so you can feel confident while you're away.
About: My whole life I have been surrounded by dogs so I have a special place in heart for them. I have grown up with dogs in my home and have taken care of them my whole life. I have cared for many types of dogs in a professional setting for the last 4 years so I know the struggles and also the joys of caring for pets. Friends, family and clients have trusted me to feed, water, play, walk, medicate, and take full care of their pets whatever their needs my be. But, more than that, they have trusted me to take care of their homes by bringing in the mail and packages, staying at night, and cleaning their homes and up after the pets. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages from puppies to senior dogs. I am currently a part time student which allows me to have much flexibility in my schedule so I’ll have plenty of time to spend taking care of your pets! I care for pets in my clients home by doing any and all care my client enlists me to do. I take joy in every dog sitting job that I do and just absolutely love every minute of it. I take precautions by meeting the family and pets before agreeing to dogsit to ensure it would be a good fit the both of us. I always make sure I have up to date contact information for the client and their vet. Every dog sitting job is different but I would say an average day would look like letting the dogs out first thing in the morning and refilling water and the food bowl if necessary. Then, I'll take them for a walk and play with them, let them outside midday, play with them some more, give them a few treats to see what kind of tricks they can do, probably lots of belly rubs in between, and then feed them dinner and water. Lastly, I would take them outside right before we go to bed.
About: Head out of town with the confidence that you furry one will enjoy excellent care. Our golden doodle loves to welcome guests. And our teenage son is here to take your dog on walks (we’re just off the Goshen millrace), play fetch in our back yard, and generally lavish attention on them. We offer seasonal times mostly. This is focused around times when our son is off school in order to give constant care. The adults also have flexible work schedules ensuring plenty of support for the rhythms of pet care. We keep a tidy home where your pet can relax and play. We make every effort to maintain the rhythms (exercise, feeding, etc) that your pet is accustomed to.
About: I have always grew up around dogs in my home and friends, family home. My grandma used to foster dogs and she taught me a lot I know about them including but not limited to administering shots and medications. I currently work full-time. However, the dog door and fenced in yard allows your dog to be out and roam freely while I am away. I am also okay to crate your dog if that is what you would prefer. When I get home it's usually clean, play, and dinner time. As the night goes on its movies and cuddles. I have a fenced in yard and a doggy door to let your dog(s) run around outside and play during the day freely as wanted. I love to take walks in the nice weather with the dogs and play fetch out in the yard. I have an indoor camera and outdoors cameras to keep eyes when I'm not home.
About: I have been catering for dogs ever since I was young. I am hardworking, flexible, and love animals. I am a responsible student who is majoring in nursing. I am willing to put the work in. I am currently a studen. My open days are Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Saturday. On Wednesday and Friday I can do evening. I am pretty flexible. I live on a lot of land, have a big backyard and another dog to keep your pet company. I would be available to crate the dog if needed

“Chris took great care of our Vizsla, Kona. He gave us daily updates and pictures and walked her regularly. Just before drop off Kona had an unexpected trip to the vet due to a potential ear infection. When we brought the meds at drop off for him to administer for the week, he was very accommodating and gave them to her each day. We would definitely use Chris again!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve worked with playful puppies, independent cats, and senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I love getting to know each pet’s personality—whether that means long walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles—and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel like they’re with a friend, not just a sitter. Pet care is already part of my daily routine because I care for my own cat every day, from feeding and cleaning the litter box to playtime and making sure she feels loved and comfortable. Having my own pet has made me attentive to routines, behavior changes, and the small details that help animals feel safe and cared for. I also love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or giving them the attention and exercise they need. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean up after them, and make sure they get the playtime, walks, or quiet companionship they need. I believe pets feel most secure in their own home because it’s their safe space, surrounded by familiar smells and routines. Being able to care for them in that environment helps build trust and creates a stronger, more positive relationship, making the experience less stressful for both the pet and the owner.
“Emily is loving, reliable and a great communicator. She kept me updated through texts and pictures. My Boston Terrier has unique medical needs and Emily was willing to take the challenge. Tucker thrived while in her care. Emily not only cares for your pet but delivers tender, loving care. She will be my first choice for all pet “babysitting “.”
“Fantastic! She took great in-home care of our high energy pups who usually struggle with separation anxiety - they did not! They were happy and well adjusted when we returned. She even replaced their treats - above and beyond. Thank you!”
