“Sasha was great with my mini Goldendoodle, Archie! She provided constant updates and photos, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Archie looked happy and well taken care of the entire time. She was also very flexible when I needed to change the dates, which I really appreciated. I would definitely trust Sasha to watch Archie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Tanya watched Buck for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. Our dog loves playing with other dogs so this was a good environment for him, as he had lots of playmates! She was great about sending updates with pictures while we were away and was always super responsive to messages! We would recommend her to anyone needing to board their dog.”
“The best sitter we ever had our pups stay with! Lily was so great and kept us updated with our fur babies! They loved her just as much! Thank you and we will see you soon!”
“Kylie is AWESOME!!! She sent great updates and pictures of my dog everyday. Super communication and accommodating for my crazy schedule. It looked like my dog had more fun with Kylie’s pack than she does at home. Definitely will book again.”
“Aurora and her family were great. I received daily photos of my dog when I picked her up. She seemed to be all happy and I could tell that she enjoyed her time there. I highly recommend her for your pet needs.”
“You can trust Jenny with your babies! Jenny was great. She sent me daily updates and pictures and was quick to respond. I was nervous to leave my puppy with someone for the first time but it was a great, easy experience. I would definitely recommend her and plan on using her again!”
“I can tell Aoki had a blast !! Just got home and baby boy is sleep already ! I really enjoyed all the pictures that were sent AND the cute video as well ! 🥰 Aoki came home smelling and looking clean with a nice trim and blow out 🥰 best services to date !!”
“We are repeat bookers with Heather and her and her family always do a wonderful job. Our pup was well loved and was excited to see her again! Will be booking with Heather again in the future!”
“This was our first time ever using Rover and we couldn’t be happier. Alyssa was so accommodating width drop off and pick up. We received pictures every day which made being away from Wrigley so much easier. We will definitely use Alyssa again whenever we have trace plans.”
“My Boots had a great stay with Debbie and she was so accommodating to her. I think she felt right at home and even had a couple playmates while at her house. Debbie even said Boots could come back for another stay when needed, so we will definitely be keeping her contacts for future use. Thanks for making Boots feel so welcomed while we were gone.”
“Hannah and Dylan are truly amazing!! They were so thoughtful and responsive! We received lots of updates and pictures of our dog! I will definitely be using them again!”
“Chloe made my first time using Rover a wonderful experience. I am so grateful for this service and Chloe and her family! She sent daily updates and pictures and was always quick to respond. I felt so much better going out of town and knowing my little old lady kitty would be taken care of and loved on! I will absolutely book again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Dennis did an amazing job taking care of my dog! She made friends and had plenty of space and time to play. Even when I went to pick her up, she was playing with the other dogs until it was time to go. Would definitely hire again!”
“Addi's stay with Meghan was great. I love the day to day updates with pictures. To know she getting all the attention there she would normally get at home had me at ease on my vacation. She was worn out from all the play with the other dogs. I'm sure she looks forward to a return.”

About: I’ve had a dog most of my life, but I’ve owned Cavaliers for 15 years. I’ve cared for multiple dogs (and cats) at one time. I prefer to care for dogs in your home. I can also care for fish, chickens and do general housekeeping. I reside in El Dorado, but for the last year, I have been substitute teaching in the Wichita metro area. Therefore, I do have some flexibility in my schedule at this point. I’m able to do potty runs during the day provided the distance allows it. I prefer to care for pets in my client’s home so that the dogs are used to their normal environment and routine. If needed, I can care for a single small-medium sized dog in my home, although the dog must be comfortable being on a leash as I do not have a fenced yard. Also, I am not a smoker or drinker.
“I wish we would have know about this sooner!! This was great. It was nice going on vacation and not having to worry. They took great care of our dog. We are already making our reservations with them for our next vacation.”
About: I've been a volunteer at Caring Hands Humane Society for 4+ years, and in January of 2022 I raised a litter of 6 Pomsky puppies! I have a 4+ year old orange Siberian Husky, and I've grown up with a couple family dogs, so I've always been around animals and want to pursue an animal related career! I'm currently working a part time job, and I would love to take your dog for a walk, play with them, or simply keep them company while you're away! I'm available 9am - 9pm Mon, Wed, Thu, but am somewhat flexible on weekends for house sitting. I have a fenced backyard and 2 energetic Siberian Huskies that are very friendly and play well with new dogs; I take them to the Newton dog park often and they absolutely love it! I can provide a crate for a medium - large dog if needed/requested. My dog sleeps in my room with an open crate so she can sleep in her crate or just on the floor. I have plenty chew toys, everything from tennis balls to rope toys to an assortment of squeakers!
“Leslie took amazing care of James!!! She provided a nice place for him to stay and bring all his belongings ☺️. She had snuggle time with him and introduced him to one of her cats of a similar age and they played well together. James also enjoyed the country view from a large window. We will be going out of town again in the Fall and I have already asked Leslie to care for James again then.”
“Alyx is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about taking care of animals! Our first meeting was the most thoughtful meet-and-greet I have had with a sitter and Alyx got along great with baby-cat. I felt completely at ease to leave my pet in her care, I definitely recommend Alyx’s services to anyone who wants to make make sure their pet is a priority!”

I enjoy spending time with animals and can easily incorporate their feeding schedules, exercise, and individual needs into my day. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re in my care. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and any special routines that help their pet feel comfortable.

About: I've been an animal lover since I was four when my first dog came into my life :) I started pet sitting for family and friends when I was around ten, and it's been something I've loved doing ever since. I've cared for all types of pets - from puppies to senior dogs, cats of all personalities, turtles, fish, and even some farm animals! I have no problem giving medications - I've given insulin injections to diabetic dogs many times and understand how important it is to stick to medication schedules. I understand how pets thrive on their familiar routines and environment. I'll make sure to maintain their schedule and send you updates with plenty of photos while you're away :) I know firsthand that there’s nothing better than seeing your pets happy and relaxed when you can't be with them! I work remotely and choose my own hours, so my schedule is quite flexible! I’m a bit of a night owl naturally, so I especially love taking fur babies for evening walks, but any time I get to care for an animal is a great time :) I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, turtles, chickens, and everything in between for over ten years now, so I have experience handling almost every situation that could come about :) I’ve administered insulin via injection to dogs, fed both cats and dogs pills, cleaned up after them if there are any accidents, placed them in (and taken them out of) crates gently and calmly, and generally whatever was necessary to ensure that every pet in my care is happy and well taken care of.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cat of every kind since I was 6! All my friends and family have always reached out to me when they need a pet sitter! I am reliable and caring to all fury friends! I am currently in the process of starting my own business! I am responsible for my own time therefore making my schedule very flexible to accommodate any special needs to time frames! I make sure that your pet gets both physical and mental stimulation! I would take the owners directions as to how they want their pets cared for! Other than that I absolutely love playing with all types of dogs as well as taking long walks with them!
About: I have been taking care of dogs other than my own since I was about 8. Family, friends and neighbors have always relied on me to care for their pets whenever they need. I am comfortable with any size, age, or breed of dog there is! I have went through training with my dog, so I know what its like to take care of any dog from highly energized to very lazy, untrained or highly trained. I have taken care of two litters of puppies at the same time - 16 total puppies! - so I can handle whatever is thrown my way. I am currently taking online college classes full-time and working part-time, so I have plenty of extra time to spend with your pets, whether that is going on walks or just hanging out while I do my schoolwork! I have a fenced in yard and a 3 year old doggo at home if needed to keep your pet entertained. I also have a dog park and plenty of room to go on walks or runs with your pet. I like to stay active so I try to take my dog out on 1-2 walks a day since he needs his exercise!

“Tanya is awesome! She’s so friendly and funny and she takes great care of her clients!! when she watches my dog he never wants to go home because he’s having so much fun in that huge yard of hers! I highly recommend using Tanya as your next sitter!!”
About: I have a bachelors degree in animal science which included classes on animal care and husbandry! I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, shadowed veterinarians, and have been a dog owner my entire life. I have a senior dog myself so I am happy to offer all of the extra TLC your pet may need. I also used to compete with my dog in obedience and agility so I am well versed in dog training! I am a stay at home mom and farmer so I am always around the house and farm. This allows me to treat your pet like one of my own! They will get LOTS of love through out the day and plenty of potty breaks! My pets are treated as part of our family and yours would be too! We rarely use kennels unless requested/necessary. We love to go on family walks in the country and say hello to our cows! Our dogs are usually inside hanging out with us and only have to go outside if they want to!
About: I have two big dogs, a pyrenees, and a pyrenees mix. I also have 4 cats, and 2 pet rats. I have experience with puppies as well, as our dog has had 2 litters of puppies. We live on a small homestead, so every day I maintain our chickens, pigs, and bunnies plus the rest of our pets. I have loved animals my whole life! I’m a stay at home mom, so I am free almost every week day during school hours, (or earlier) and available to help out during the weekends! We have a tall chain link pen next to our barn, as well as an unused garage apartment that can be used for cats or small dogs.
“I cannot tell you how happy I was with Jamie and her family. I came for state track meet from Texas and needed a place for my doodle to go for the day. Jamie sent me videos of him having fun and napping. I felt so relaxed and able to enjoy my day knowing Jack was having the best day. At meet and greet I knew she would spoil my Jack! Thank you so much Jamie. I cannot say enough wonderful things about you!!”
“My family and I are very glad that we found Keitel to care for Goldendoodle (Meelo). As dog lovers, we always wants to ensure that our fur buddy is taken care off in our absence. Keitel check all the blocks and exceed our expectations. Keitel is not only great with dogs but also very knowledgeable with them. Keitel afford my wife and I the opportunity to meet him in advance for us to ensure that the environment was suitable for our Goldendoodle. Throughout the stay, Keitel and his family treated Meelo as if he was his own. We received regular updates and pictures of Meelo and his new favorite family. Meelo was pampered and well taken care of and our mind was at ease. We can’t wait to rebook you again. I highly recommend Keitel to anyone looking for a doggie day care.”

“Sara is a very sweet loving host. Her home is spacious and comfortable for my doggies. She even had a small gated area for my disabled Bailey to keep him safe and from under foot. Her backyard is large and a good space for plenty of exercise.”
“On the days when I have lots of errands to run it’s nice to give our pup an afternoon with other dogs. Mike and Debbie were great with her and I’m looking forward to doing it again!”
About: My husband and I are lifelong dog lovers who both grew up with dogs and couldn’t imagine our home without them! We currently have three adopted pups from the Kansas Humane Society, and over the past three years we’ve also fostered 11 dogs through KHS — including 5 puppies. Caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels has taught us how important patience, routine, and a loving environment are for every pup. While we don’t feel experienced enough to do any official training, we provide a safe, playful, and affectionate home where dogs are treated like family. Our three dogs love making new friends, and our 9-year-old is a certified ball-throwing expert who adores helping play with visiting pups! I’m also a stay-at-home mom to a 1-year-old who absolutely loves dogs, and I’m always closely supervising interactions to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. Our home is set up to accommodate different temperaments and needs, with three separate spaces — a finished downstairs area, living room, and kitchen/coffee nook — that can be used for dogs who prefer a quieter environment, slower introductions, or their own low-energy space. We know how important it is to trust the people caring for your dog, and we’ll treat your fur baby with the same love and attention we give our own. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of time, attention, and energy to devote to caring for your pups! My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available most days and times throughout the week aside from the occasional appointment or family activity. When my 9-year-old is out of school, he’s my biggest helper and loves spending time playing fetch and giving extra attention to our furry friends. My 1-year-old is also a huge fan of dogs and happily tags along on walks and outdoor time. Our days are full of play, cuddles, potty breaks, and lots of love, so your pup will always have company and care while they’re with us! Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and three friendly dogs who love making new friends and providing companionship during your pup’s stay. Because we know every dog has a different personality and comfort level, our home is set up with multiple secure, separate spaces to help everyone feel relaxed and safe. Our finished basement has its own outdoor access and can be completely gated off to provide a calm, private area for dogs who need quieter surroundings, slower introductions, or a break from other pups. We also have a separate gated kitchen/coffee nook area with outdoor access that offers a more social environment while still keeping dogs comfortably separated when needed. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day to closely supervise playtime, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, and rest time. Whether your dog is staying in our home, joining us for walks, or being cared for in your own home, we strive to create a loving, dependable, and low-stress experience for both you and your pet. We also offer drop-in visits and dog walks for local families, and we’re happy to come to your home to feed, let your dog out, provide walks, playtime, cuddles, medication if needed, and lots of attention while you’re away. We know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet and entering your home, and we’ll always treat both with the same care and respect we would want for our own family.
About: I lost my girl in late 2024. Pet sitting for others has really helped my heart to heal. I have always had a dog in my life but I am not yet ready to commit to my next soulmate. I work from home full-time and miss having a shadow with me. Comfortable with meds and needles, as needed. Comfortable with elderly dogs. I work full time from home, so rarely would your pet be alone. I treat your dog like I treated my own. If I run an errand, your dog runs an errand with me (as long as you approve). We might take a walk, we might Netflix and chill, we might swim in the summer, it just depends what your dog “tells” me they wanna do! We have two guinea pigs (who can be separated from other animals if needed). It’s just my husband and I and our teen daughter, who is generally the one our guest dogs sleep with! Fully fenced yard available to use with few steps. Upstairs and downstairs of house but not required to go downstairs if they don’t want to. Crate available, if they are trained or need it. I rarely see the need to use it but require crate trained dogs in case I need it. Common reasons would be during grocery delivery (to prevent escapes while door maybe open), unexpected visitors (if your dog would be uncomfortable, etc.), and such.
“Zhou was great at accepting our last minute request. My golden had a blast and was all tuckered out when I brought her home. I appreciate Zhou’s flexibility and attentiveness to my dog. (Also, the pictures were great)”
“My girls a super nervous dog and she was very understanding about it and did amazingly with her and didn’t push my girl past any of her limit and accepted my booking last minute very grateful if I’m ever in the area again I’d book with her again if needed thank you again”

About: I served as a K-9 Handler with the Department of Correction and have extensive experience working with a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens. My background includes caring for and handling dogs of all temperaments and activity levels, from high-energy and behaviorally challenging dogs to relaxed companion animals, as well as dogs with special needs. I am committed to providing knowledgeable, compassionate, and individualized care for every animal. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I structure my schedule to ensure I have dedicated time for feeding, exercise, walks, playtime, medication administration when needed, and providing individualized attention to each animal. My experience as a K-9 Handler with the Department of Correction has taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and understanding animal behavior. I prioritize each pet's physical well-being, mental stimulation, and comfort, ensuring they receive dependable, compassionate care while their owners are away. I always begin with a meet-and-greet to establish a positive relationship with both the pet and their family. During this visit, I take the time to learn about each pet's individual needs, routines, and any special care requirements, while also discussing the owners' expectations. I observe how the pet responds to my presence and perform an informal assessment of their temperament, behavior, potential triggers, and overall demeanor. This initial meeting helps build trust and ensures I can provide safe, personalized, and compassionate care tailored to each pet.

“Ari is great! She was kind, communicative, punctual, and took excellent care of my pups. She is obviously a natural with dogs. We even had a broken collar situation while I was at work and she found the harnesses and made the walk happen. I highly suggest hiring her to care for your animals. Thank you, Ari!”
About: For over 10 years, I loved and cared for my own beloved dogs before they passed away a few years ago, and for the past 4 years, I have been occasionally sitting for my neighbor's dog. I have a 6-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son who share my deep love for animals, so your pup will get plenty of gentle affection and enthusiastic playtime from our family! In our home, your fur baby will have a secure, fenced yard to explore. Whether they prefer high-energy fun or just lounging around and getting belly rubs, we adapt to whatever makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I am a Special Education teacher currently on summer break, which means I have a highly flexible schedule and open availability! My own children are in summer camp Monday through Friday during the day, giving me plenty of dedicated, uninterrupted time to focus entirely on your pet's routine, walks, and care. I am available for boarding and daytime companionship, ensuring your fur baby gets plenty of attention and love. As a SPED teacher, I bring patience, structure, and deep reliability into my pet care. I offer a very secure environment with a fully fenced yard for safe playtime. Because my husband works night shifts and sleeps during the day, our home maintains a wonderfully calm, quiet, and peaceful atmosphere during the daytime hours—perfect for dogs who get stressed by loud noises. In the evenings and weekends, my 6 and 7-year-old children join the fun, and they are incredibly gentle and respectful animal lovers. Your pet will receive 100% of our family's care and focus!
About: Hi everyone! My name is Ingrid, and I’m excited to offer my dog-walking and sitting services. While I may be new to professional dog sitting, I have two wonderful dogs of my own, Rocky (6 years) and Odie (4 years), who have taught me a lot about pet care. I have had them both since they were 3 months old and I trained them both. I'm passionate about providing a loving and safe environment for all dogs. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and giving them the attention and care they deserve! I am a full time Radiologic Technologist and work 10:30am-9pm, with some weekends and also take call. My confirmed day off is Wednesdays. Otherwise communicate with me and I can see what I can do to take care of your lovely furry friends! Typically it would have to be before 10am or after 9pm when I am available:) My dogs are the happiest dogs, and they get so excited when I come home. They are very spoiled with many toys, playtime, and walks. We have a big backyard so they go inside and outside whenever they want. They are both potty trained, and Rocky is trained with basic commands such as sit, stay, wait, high five, and lay down.

I like to stay active so I try to take my dog out on 1-2 walks a day since he needs his exercise!
About: Since 2018, I’ve been the go-to Rover sitter for pet parents who want peace of mind and pups who want nonstop love and attention. 🐶 I don’t just ‘watch’ dogs. I keep them safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own.” I trust dogs more than I trust most humans, which makes this more than just a side gig for me. Caring for your pups is something I genuinely enjoy. Why choose me? • 🛡️ Safety first: Your dog’s wellbeing is always my #1 priority (and mine too, because let’s be honest, no one wants a Rottweiler deciding I look like a chew toy). • 🏃♀️ Active & alert: I’m quick on my feet, tuned in, and ready to spring into action if a situation gets “ruff.” • 🧠 Dog smarts + intuition: I have a natural ability to read dogs’ body language and moods, whether I’m meeting a nervous Chihuahua or a 120 pound gentle giant. • 📸 Peace of mind updates: Expect photos, videos, and proof of tail wags so you feel like you never left. Over the years, every dog I’ve cared for has left a paw print on my heart (and sometimes a little slobber on my shirt). Big or small, shy or spunky … I’ve worked with them all, and I strive to make every pup feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. If you want a sitter who will love your dog like family, treat safety like sacred ground, and sprinkle in a little humor along the way, I’m your person. 🐾 Taking care of dogs isn’t a side gig for me . Definitely a lifestyle. I already have my own little wolfpack, so loving, protecting, and spoiling pups is second nature. When your K9 is with me, they’re not just “watched”… they’re family. Think of it as a WIN/WIN: your dog gets unconditional love and adventure, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and thriving. I can’t wait to meet your best friend (and claim them as my new sidekick).
About: I have taken care of dogs and cat of every kind since I was 6! All my friends and family have always reached out to me when they need a pet sitter! I am reliable and caring to all fury friends! I am currently in the process of starting my own business! I am responsible for my own time therefore making my schedule very flexible to accommodate any special needs to time frames! I make sure that your pet gets both physical and mental stimulation! I would take the owners directions as to how they want their pets cared for! Other than that I absolutely love playing with all types of dogs as well as taking long walks with them!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for my own dogs and pets. I’m responsible, reliable, and treat every animal I care for like part of the family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, and I’m attentive to your specific routines and instructions to ensure your pets get exactly what they need. I’m flexible and available throughout the summer as a way to earn a little extra doing something I genuinely enjoy — spending time with animals! Pet care fits well into my schedule, especially during the summer months when I’m off work. I have a flexible routine and am generally available on both weekdays and weekends. I care for pets like they’re my own—loving, patient, and always sticking to their routines. Whether it’s feeding, walks, meds, or playtime, I follow their schedule closely so they feel safe and at home. You know, the goal is to keep them happy and stress-free while you’re away
About: I have spent my whole life surrounded by cats and dogs, both my own and others and have an intense passion for caring for animals the right way! I have basic care skills, but can ensure diligence, active and engaging time spent with your animals, timely care, and commitment to following care guidelines to a T. I know what it’s like to leave your animals in the care of someone else. My personal pet sitters are accustomed to abnormally and intensely detailed printed guidelines with care instructions for my animals, so regardless of how detailed your care instructions are, I have the aptitude to follow them in their entirety plus more to the best of my abilities! I am a medical student in my first year, so I do have the ability to have more control of my schedule. I will continually update my time availability to be accurate weekly. I will not commit something that I cannot guarantee availability for! I will only be able to give care in your home due to living in an apartment complex and having animals of my own. But in caring for my own animals, I am quite neurotic in how detailed and specifically I care for them. I make sure my animals have daily mental and exercise stimulation through playing with toys, walking, and engagement with me and each other. I am adamant about giving my animals affection, and provide them meals in a timely and measured way. I brush all of my animals teeth daily, walk my dogs daily, and clean my cats litter box at least twice a day. I am very attuned to subtleties and changes in my animals behavior to ensure that they are in good health! I want to give my animals the best life and care possible just as I will do for your animals!
About: I’ve been in love with animals for as long as I can remember, I grew up with multiple dogs in my home along with a few cats and fish. I even bought my own dog as soon as I moved out! I currently watch my own dog, my household family pets at my dads, and my household family pets at my moms when they are out of town. I am a full time state licensed esthetician, leaving my schedule to be very flexible. I’m happy to visit your fur babies whenever is best for your schedule, whether that’s feeding, walking, or cleaning your pets while you’re at work or off on a trip. I will gladly send photos or videos updates on your fur babies. I am also happy to play with them using their favorite toys and don’t mind spending extra time for snuggle sessions while I’m there. Again I am a full time online college student and I work a part time job maybe 3-4 days a week mostly night shifts, being 4 pm-closing time. I have family pets and both my moms household and my dad’s household that I’ve cared for when I lived in both homes and while my family is at work or away, plus I also bought my own dog when I moved out which I care for on a daily basis.
About: I’ve always had a passion and a big heart for animals. Growing up I lived on a farm, we always had lots of animals around! I’ve taken care of multiple different breeds of dogs. I know what it takes to keep any fur baby happy 😊 simply with lots of love, lots of play time, attention, treats, and of course walks😉 Im currently working part time with a flexible schedule so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Im available most days to go on a walk or whatever your needs may be! I currently have one dog of my own who is spoiled with toys and loves to CONSTANTLY play so I can definitely keep up if they are high energy. I love going on walks or simply playing catch in the backyard. You will never have to worry about your animal not getting enough attention, if anything they might get to much! :)
About: Hi! I’m Camille, a certified vet assistant since May 2023, currently at Wichita State University majoring in Chemistry (Pre-med). I split my time between Wichita and my hometown, Norman, Oklahoma, where I work as a Veterinary Assistant during breaks. I also volunteer on weekends (usually from 11 am to 2 pm, but I’m flexible!). I’m Fear Free certified, which means I use gentle techniques to reduce pets’ anxiety and stress during care. I have personal experience with anxious pets—my own dog, Basco, is a great example, and you can see his cute face on my profile! I also have experience with ferrets, cockatiels, and guinea pigs, having grown up with two as pets and from boarding at Boomer on the weekends. I generally have classes from 9 am to 3 pm, but I’m happy to clarify availability when you contact me. I always leave homes clean and follow instructions, no matter how specific. Whether it’s cats, dogs, or even more exotic pets, I’m here to care for your furry friends, including those with more anxious personalities that may take a little more time and patience. I generally have class from 9 am-3 pm during the week, as mentioned in my profile, and I volunteer from 11 am-2 pm on weekends, though I’m flexible with these times. I’m happy to work with the owner’s schedule as much as I can, whenever needed, to ensure the best care for your pets. When checking on pets, I always announce my presence and greet the animals warmly. I prioritize following owners’ directions and ensure to leave the space better than I found it.

“Sasha was great with my mini Goldendoodle, Archie! She provided constant updates and photos, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Archie looked happy and well taken care of the entire time. She was also very flexible when I needed to change the dates, which I really appreciated. I would definitely trust Sasha to watch Archie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Tanya watched Buck for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. Our dog loves playing with other dogs so this was a good environment for him, as he had lots of playmates!

“My Boots had a great stay with Debbie and she was so accommodating to her. I think she felt right at home and even had a couple playmates while at her house. Debbie even said Boots could come back for another stay when needed, so we will definitely be keeping her contacts for future use. Thanks for making Boots feel so welcomed while we were gone.”

Once dropped off they were with her for five days and had a fantastic time with her dogs. I would recommend her to anyone looking for dog care.”
“I am so glad that I found Paige. She did an awesome job with Charlie! Charlie gets a little worked up when he is boarded so he almost always has diarrhea when he comes home. This time he did not have any stomach issues when he returned home! That’s a plus for us. Paige is flexible and her communication is on point. She sent us pictures, videos, and kept us updated on how Charlie was doing. Charlie looked so happy! I would definitely use Paige again!”
