“Heather is amazing! Lacey loves to stay with her and she always meets new friends. We can tell by Lacey’s demeanor when we get home that she feels comfortable and secure with Heather! We already have her booked for our next adventure.”
“Nancy was great! Our trip plans were ever changing due to scheduling of my daughters cheer competition out of town. She went with the flow and was very flexible for our drop off and pick up times! She is very responsive and always answered quickly with any questions or just to check in on our pup! We will definitely use her for our future trips!”
“Quinn always feels at home with Amber and we can relax, knowing she is getting the best of care! Amber is especially good at keeping us updated with photos and info about Quinn.”
“Dina was wonderful with Charlie. She was in contact with us everyday giving us updates on what Charlie was doing and even included pictures. Her daily updates made our trip even better knowing he was enjoying his stay.”
“Kathryn is a great sitter! Our pup gets lots of personal attention as she will only accept one family at a time and works from home. He loves having kids around during the day and playing ball in her fenced yard. Kathryn is easy to communicate with and we feel much better about leaving our pup in her care than boarding, especially when she sends pictures and updates, which we love. She is always out top choice when when our pup cannot travel with us!”
“Valerie and Brian have a peaceful and clean home. They were kind and communicative. I appreciated the pics of our dog during his stay. He gets nervous around other dogs and did very well with their sweet dog Ollie! Wonderful sitters! Highly recommend!”
“Ashley is great!! Storm came back worn out but in the best way! I don’t have a fenced In yard, so makes my heart happy for her to have friends to play with and be able to run freely! She was able to get my last minute, and worked with me on times! Highly recommend, absolutely my go to now!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care provided during our overnight stay! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy, well-cared for, and clearly received lots of attention and affection. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter!”
“Brent is a good person and a great dog sitter. Maple and Mozzie's (Brent's dog) first meeting went great. They played very well together. The day we dropped off Maple at Brent's home, he and his wife were very friendly and inviting with us and our dog Maple. They explained everything involved with Maple's stay and activities in their home. He kept us updated with pictures and texts. I would definitely recommend Brent and Rover to other pet owners.”
“We went out of town for a week leaving our one year old Bulldog with Nef. He came to meet our dog and even accommodated transportation. My dog is very picky on who she likes however it was love from first sight. This was the first time we had to board our dog and now we have our go to person for life. Thanks Nef for the outstanding service!”
“Erin and her family are phenomenal! They sent pics and updates everyday. My dog, Tilly, really took to them and if she feels at ease, I feel at ease. I would 100% use them again to care for my sweet pup.”
“Kelso was absolutely phenomenal!! She is truly an expert on all things related to cats, so my cat was in the best hands and I learned lots of new information on best practices to be a better cat mom :) Kelso gave comprehensive updates on a daily basis and really went above and beyond to make sure my little boy was comfortable and taken care of. I highly recommend Kelso—my cat will definitely be back during my next trip!”
“Laura was a great communicator and made our pup feel at home! She took great photos and also accommodated last minute requests graciously. Highly recommend!”
“Our girl was well cared for by a loving family. We got daily updates and pictures of Hattie. I believe she had a lovely time with Alyssa and her family. We would definitely book her again. Thanks for taking such good care of our girl.”
“Arabella had a great time at Arla's house! Arla did a great job keeping us informed of how Arabella was doing while we were away! Would highly recommend her and her family again!”
“Clarissa took great care of our dog while we were gone for a week. She gave us plenty of updates and photos along the way and we could tell that our dog was cozy and comfortable there. We’ve used her several times as our pet sitter and will continue to do so. She’s great!”
“I am so fortunate to have Lynn and her family to watch my 2 girls while I am out of town. She has a beautiful clean house with a large front and back yard for the pups to go in and out as they please. She even went out of her way to add toppings to the kibble when the girls were not eating well at first. I cannot recommend Lynn and her family enough. Will continue to be a repeat customer!”

“Hailey was absolutely amazing! She stepped in at the last minute to care for our dogs, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She came multiple times a day to let them out, spent time playing with them, and made sure they got plenty of attention. She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them like her own. We highly recommend Hailey and will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Alexis was super reliable and communicative She was great with our (sometimes cranky but very sweet) senior girl and they seemed to bond. From the pictures I could see that Shorty was much more relaxed as the visit went on I will definitely work with Alexis again!”
“Shaine is awesome! Super friendly, always on time, and will love your fur babies! It’s such a relief she checks on and lets our 17 year old dog on our non-work from home days!!!!! We are very thankful for her!”
“They were very consistent and took great care of my little void kitty while I was travelling for two weeks. She's usually scared of strangers, but she warmed up very quickly to Bekah and her partner. They even did a little extra and made sure my house would be okay when a winter storm was affecting our area. I'd definitely hire them again!”
“My previous Rover pet pet ad on moved so I was happy and lucky to find Cassidy. I contacted her last minute and we’re unable to meet in person, but we’re able to video chat which put me at ease. Cassidy was great with my cat Lucy and sent lots of pictures. Will definitely be using Cassidy in the future.”
“I wholeheartedly recommend these guys! They are always happy to follow all my requests and are prompt in replying to messages. I trust them completely to take care of our kitty!”
About: **I’m currently offering lower rates than I normally would in order to get my foot in the door with Rover! :) Thank you so much for supporting a Rover newbie! 💗** Hi! 🤗🐕🩷 I’m Alexus and I have been baby-sitting (pets & humans!) for over 10 years now for family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers who have simply heard good things about me from others, both in my free time as well as in professional certified Doggy Daycare businesses including Dogtown Cincinnati! People have kept me as their sitter for years because they know they can count on me to be responsible, attentive, communicative, & honest with them while their babies are in my care! 🐶🐱🐰🐹 I’m down-to-earth, calm, and will always be patient & kind to animals of any kind and will respect your home with utmost care. 🏡💕 When you are missing your babies, don’t hesitate to ask for an extra picture or video of them if you want more! I love taking cute photos of every animal I meet and will spoil them with affection. 🌅💗🐩 I will also strictly adhere to any checklist or request that you have— my mission is to give your baby the stability, love, and care that they expect in their daily routine. Whether it is sitting, boarding, walking, or basic grooming, I will provide the home away from home for them by meticulously following directions for specific exercise regimens, dietary restrictions, training (e.g. taking a puppy out to potty every 30-45 min. & rewarding with praise & treat), medication administration, etc. 🍼🧴🧸🎾💊🦮 I will NEVER, under any circumstance, use punishment or fear-instilling tactics. I am a lifelong dog-lover and a dedicated advocate of humane training & treatment of animals. I am Pet First Aid Certified and dedicated to prioritizing pet safety & comfort in order for them and their parents (you!) to be stress-free. ❤️🐾🌎 I can’t wait to meet-and-greet with you & your fur baby! 🫶🐾 I am a full-time dedicated professional pet care provider for families local to the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area. I understand what it’s like to need a last-minute booking, and I will happily take same-day requests! I am currently available 24/7 for all pet care needs. In my home, your babies will enjoy a squeaky clean, comfortable newly-remodeled living room and guest bedroom, as well as a .5-acre fenced-in backyard (will remain leashed while outside) with enriching landscape in a cozy, quiet tucked-away neighborhood. I allow doggies on the couches, but will gladly redirect any dogs away from furniture through positive reinforcement (NEVER PUNISHMENT) if you would like. In your home, I will meticulously adhere to every standard you request and proactively communicate with you regarding in-home checklists as needed.
“Katie is the best. Our cats are not real sociable but they seem to take to Katie right away. We will definitely continue using her. You won’t be disappointed should you decide to book Katie to care for your fur babies.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats my whole life, including those that are divas and seniors that need more care. I have cat sat for my neighbors, friends, and family.
About: I have dog sat and walked for family and friends for years. I am the mom of a mini schnauzer Loki and cat Sylvie. Animals bring so much joy into the world and I try to bring joy into their days as much as I can! I am an Athletic Trainer at a local high school. I work evenings so have the whole morning free. I love exercise and often walk my own dog 4-5 times a day. I have lived with dogs my whole life. I know how to feed, walk, and love a dog. I will treat your furr babies like they are my own. I will give them plenty of love, I will play with them, and get all their energy out!
About: I've had at least four dogs as long as I can remember. As a child, they were my first companions and my second caretakers. Even as I grew into an adult, they were always there to comfort me and to brighten the darkest of days. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart and I am eager to give back what they so willingly give; love, acceptance, understanding, comfort, and joy. In the last two years, I have gone from four dogs to one, due to Cancer and Congestive Heart Failure, and I must admit that their absence has affected me deeply. I miss them so so so much!! I'm one of those people that celebrated their dog's birthdays and bought them copious presents for Christmas. While my friends were pulling out their family pics, I was always pulling out my dog pics. I share this same sentiment towards birds, rabbits, and cats; all of which I had growing up. Being surrounded by animals as a child was a great experience. It even prompted me to volunteer at the ASPCA for almost a year. As I hope you can tell, I will not only provide what your pet needs to survive, but I will also provide him/her with special attention and love. I look forward to meeting with both you and your pet! Until then, take care! I will be able to fulfill any house/pet sitting duties without any issues, as I am able to balance my obligations responsibly and with respect to myself and those that hire me. While pet/house sitting, I will abide the rules given to me. This could include when they play, where they sleep, any medications needed, when to eat, etc.
About: Hey there! I have grown up surrounded by dogs and have always shared special bonds with them. I currently have a 2-year-old cat, Sue, that my friend found while he was fishing. We lost her brother, Charlie, a couple years ago to cancer. He was a black lab pit mix and the best light to your day! I’m currently working part-time and am looking to supplement that with a few hobbies, and opportunities from here. I will try to make myself available as much as possible if you need me. Although I like it when animals are enjoying themselves, I value safety and can be firm when I need to be. I look forward to (hopefully) meeting you & your furry friends soon! I’m currently most flexible for over the night stays and drop by visits or walks. It would be nice to have something routine, but I’m also interested in sporadic opportunities! I'm not offering stays at my home because my cat isn't a big fan of meeting new animals, but I’m available to come to yours!

“We have one tired pup! Thank you so much for looking after our dog. It was great to have him in a home where he got personal attention and played with another dog versus a commercial kennel. I would highly recommend Kristin and her husband Daniel.”
“Rachel and her family were fantastic with my energetic 1.5 yo Barbet, DollyP🌸! Rachel was very accommodating! I needed to make a last minute change in my schedule and she was willing to keep Miss DollyP several hours after our agreed upon pickup time! Thankful! Highly recommend her and her family!”
“Ollie had a great time! Brent sent pics and was a great communicator! If we're back in Lexington, we will definitely have Ollie stay here again!”
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for over 50 years. I was so lucky to grow up in a home that was the local Noah’s Arc. This childhood formed my commitment and love to animals. About 20 years ago, I decided to enter the world of pure bred dogs and have been an avid exhibitor and breeder of Pointers and Ridgebacks focused always on good temperaments and health. I love dogs and really believe it’s important that each animal I care for, feels at home, comfortable, pampered, exercised and loved. I have 4 dogs that are super casual and it has been very easy to bring animals into my home. I will only take 1 or 2 dogs at a time, as I want to be able to provide the best care possible for them. Your animals are treated as though they are mine and the care and love they will experience can only be exceeded by you. It’s always stressful for animals to be away from their families, so the more I can do to relieve this stress, the better I feel. I always tease my clients that their dogs may come home a little spoiled. I’m very much available all day really to take care of the dogs as my schedule is very flexible. In addition my brother lives with me and he helps me take care of the dogs. There is always a person at our house while your dog will be visiting. I also offer a military discount for those that have or are serving our beautiful country. I do not work outside of the home, which provides me with a lot of flexibility to provide dedicated care to your pets all day. I think it's important dogs that stay at my house receive the same amount of attention as they would at home and as my dogs do. I also believe it's important not to disrupt their daily routine, so I work closely with owners to understand each Dog needs.
“Guadalupe was great with our girls. So easy to communicate with, kept us updated with pics and videos and even provided a great restaurant recommendation. If we come back through Lexington, we will return to Guadalupe.”
“Wow really can’t brag about enough on MrsShaine! She took us last minute traveling from Louisiana to Columbus GA for my son’s turning blue graduation from the Army then we decided to extend our vacation to the Arc, the sitter I had booked thought it best I find someone with no animals so I was very Thankful for her! She was so incredibly nice and I felt very safe leaving Chopper with her! Communication was awesome as well! If I could give 10 stars I would she saved our vacation quite literally! Even though we own a level 4 clinger for a Pitbull & it was his very first day @doggy daycare! My family thanks you so much MrsShaine!”
“Gabriella is wonderful and took great care of our Husky, Moose. She sent tons of pictures of him and Yeti playing, running, and playing some more. Yeti was great with Moose, and he has another friend to play with!”
About: As a dog owner and foster, I have experience caring for senior dogs, nervous rescues, and multiple dogs at once. I prioritize individualized care, patience, and creating a stress-free environment. I work from home full-time, giving me the flexibility to provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship so pets feel safe and comfortable. I believe consistency is important for pets, so I follow their established routine for meals, walks, exercise, and rest. I provide attentive care, patience, and an stress-free environment while making sure owners stay updated. I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and two senior dogs who are calm and friendly companions.

She was very communicative all day, sending pictures and keeping us updated on how Ebi was doing 😊 She’s actually taking care of Ebi for two days in a row.”

“Andrew and his family were amazing sitters. The responsiveness and communication was off the charts. My dog is typically afraid but with Andrew, she quickly became acclimated and comfortable. I was able to see my pet throughout her stay with Andrew in pictures and videos. She appeared to be so happy getting exercise and exploring with his daughter. Do not hesitate to book Andrew! He is such an outstanding sitter and I would recommend him to anyone in the area for their pet.”
“John was excellent! I ended up reaching out to him last minute due to a schedule change, and he was very kind and accommodating. Throughout the day, John sent multiple pictures and updates, and he even spoiled him with some homemade food! Our a little guy had such a great time. Will definitely be bringing him back!”
About: I grew up on a farm in NC surrounded by animals, and dogs have always been a big part of my life. Caring for pets comes naturally to me, and I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and needs. I recently moved to Lexington with my husband, who is a veterinarian, which has given me an even greater appreciation for pet health and well-being. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a senior needing extra patience, or somewhere in between, I'll provide attentive, reliable care while you're away! I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or simply providing companionship, I follow each owner's instructions closely and treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. As a pet owner myself to an 11½-year-old Maltipoo, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family member.

About: I grew up with German Shepherds. Since 2013 I have had the honor of being a mom to 9 dogs who are and have been absolutely loved and spoiled! Bear Gwendolyn (Rottweiler) crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 12 from Osteosarcoma, Spike Jamison ( German Shepherd) crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 10 from Hermangiosarcoma. Enzo Ferarri crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 12 from complications of Cushings Disease. Enzo was my heart and soul pup. I am currently dog mom to: Delco Dani - Female spayed 2 year old Rottweiler Mantequilla Rouix - Female non spayed 1-year old Field Golden Retriever Rookington Highpockets - Male spayed 2 year old Anatolian Shepherd Fia Versace - Female spayed 13 year old Minature Pinscher Rico Suave- Male spayed 12 year old Daschund- chihuahua mix I currently pet sit my 8 month old German Shepherd Fur niece Pepper Jack Cheese I temporarily fostered Kyra a 5 year old bully mix from November 2025 until April 2026. I took her in from a man I helped on a call at work. He had to have his leg amputated and had no family to take her at the time. 22 years as a police officer 17 years as a helicopter crew chief in the USAF I had a miniature pinscher who was diabetic and had cushings. I also have three dogs who currently need medications. I am able to administer medications. My dogs are all different energy levels and each dog has its own personality. I understand every dog is different 😁 I understand different work shifts and needs. Will offer military, police, and first responder discounts. I retired after 20 years of policing in NY. I am currently back working for another PD here in KY but I am in the process of going back to retired life. I spend a lot of time with my pups. My schedule will be part time for now but transition to full time pet sitter. I have a fenced in yard so plenty of space for play. I will care for your pet in your home according to your pets needs and instructions. Each pet is different and has their own personality so I will cater to those needs.
About: I grew up with all kinds of pets- dogs ranging from pomeranians to great danes, cats, reptiles, and small mammals. I spent some time working for a luxury dog hotel and daycare and have pet sat for many families over the years. Now, in addition to caring for people's furry friends, I also work as a holder for a mobile company that does dog, cat, and other pet nails. Pet care is my full-time job! When I'm not pet sitting or walking dogs, I'm helping with pet pedicures. My household is on a second shift schedule, so I can provide check ins later at night and I usually get around to my first morning check ins by 10 a.m. (unless you request earlier). I do not provide care in my home because I currently rent. In your home I am able to provide feeding, watering, potty breaks, play time and attention, (non-injected) medications, and more upon request. When walking your dog(s), I am very attentive and aware, and love providing your companions with positive reinforcement when exhibiting desirable behaviors. I go with your dog's pace, and even offer trips to the dog park if you believe your furry friend needs to get out more than a walks worth of energy!
About: I have cared for animals of all kinds ranging from ferrets and bunnies to horses and large dogs, several of which had various medical needs and requirements. I also have experience in basic training for dogs if a training regimen is required. I am currently waiting for the fall semester for college to start so I have lots of free time to devote to the care and safety of your animals. While I cannot care for other dogs or cats in my home, small pets like ferrets and chinchillas are welcome if they travel with an enclosure.
About: I have been around pets my whole life, but dogs are my favorite! I love them all, from puppies to the senior friends. I regularly care for my family dogs and I have experience caring for friends dogs and I have several regular clients. I have experience with puppy care and training, bathing, feeding, and administering medication. I also have experience with senior dog care nearing the end of life and all others in between. I have no trouble creating the special bond needed with most dog personalities. Dogs are truly our best friends! I play and exercise my own dogs daily. I understand the importance of keeping dogs engaged, healthy, and active. I do have a part-time job, but schedules are flexible given enough notice. I am so excited to care for your pup! I like to make sure the doggie is a happy, tired doggie when I do have to leave them. They love me and know fun is in store when I’m around. I play fetch and frisbee in the backyard and go on long walks around the neighborhood. If we can’t be outside I’ll play games with them indoors to challenge their minds and keep them occupied. Then of course there’s snuggle time together until they’re ready to nap or go to sleep in their crates or bed.
About: I was born into an animal-loving family and I have continued to instill this love for animals in my own children. I have had a menagerie of animals all of my life. At the young age of 12, I started walking the neighbors' dogs and going to their houses when they were out of town to feed, water, and walk their pets. In college, I worked part-time in several different veterinary clinics. I am still very well connected to the veterinary world so if I am unsure of something involving my pets, I am able to reach out to get an answer pretty quickly. Over my lifetime of 40 yrs. I have had at least 20 dogs, 10 cats, several rabbits, horses, chinchillas, guinea pigs, hamsters, and a few reptiles (but no snakes). In my full-time job, I have a hybrid work schedule. Some days I am in the office and some days I work from home. This allows some flexibility when caring for fur babies. My family also helps care for our "animal guests". It is a group effort! I have a 1/2 acre that is fenced. I have 3 dogs- a Newfoundland, Black Lab, and a Beagle. All of my dogs are rescues. I know that I rescued them but as cheesy as it sounds, most days I feel like they rescued me. Each of them has their own personality, which I love. My dogs are usually always by my side when I am home. My dogs love to jump on the bed or couch and get snuggles. I also have 3 cats. All of them found us. They were all dumped on us and of course, I couldn't turn them away. :) I would treat your animals the same way I treat mine- with love and snuggles.
About: I have always had dogs and cats in my life. I have cared for senior animals when it got more difficult and puppies that needed round-the-clock care. I’ve also been trusted by family, neighbors, and friends to care for their homes and pets while they were away. I’m a recent college grad and have not yet found employment, so my schedule is wide open! I will be available Monday through Sunday at all hours. I do not offer boarding in my home, however I can supervise multiple dogs at once, walk dogs, follow specific feeding instructions, and respect the boundaries of your cat. I can also work with security systems and keep your home safe and neat.
About: Hey there! I have grown up surrounded by dogs and have always shared special bonds with them. I currently have a 2-year-old cat, Sue, that my friend found while he was fishing. We lost her brother, Charlie, a couple years ago to cancer. He was a black lab pit mix and the best light to your day! I’m currently working part-time and am looking to supplement that with a few hobbies, and opportunities from here. I will try to make myself available as much as possible if you need me. Although I like it when animals are enjoying themselves, I value safety and can be firm when I need to be. I look forward to (hopefully) meeting you & your furry friends soon! I’m currently most flexible for over the night stays and drop by visits or walks. It would be nice to have something routine, but I’m also interested in sporadic opportunities! I'm not offering stays at my home because my cat isn't a big fan of meeting new animals, but I’m available to come to yours!
About: I have dog sat and walked for family and friends for years. I am the mom of a mini schnauzer Loki and cat Sylvie. Animals bring so much joy into the world and I try to bring joy into their days as much as I can! I am an Athletic Trainer at a local high school. I work evenings so have the whole morning free. I love exercise and often walk my own dog 4-5 times a day. I have lived with dogs my whole life. I know how to feed, walk, and love a dog. I will treat your furr babies like they are my own. I will give them plenty of love, I will play with them, and get all their energy out!
“Bekah was great! She took great care of my dog and cat while I worked a 12-hour shift with an additional 2-hour commute. She sent pictures of the time she was here, and even brought in a package I had delivered so it wouldn’t sit outside all day! I will definitely rebook with Bekah!”
About: **I’m currently offering lower rates than I normally would in order to get my foot in the door with Rover! :) Thank you so much for supporting a Rover newbie! 💗** Hi! 🤗🐕🩷 I’m Alexus and I have been baby-sitting (pets & humans!) for over 10 years now for family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers who have simply heard good things about me from others, both in my free time as well as in professional certified Doggy Daycare businesses including Dogtown Cincinnati! People have kept me as their sitter for years because they know they can count on me to be responsible, attentive, communicative, & honest with them while their babies are in my care! 🐶🐱🐰🐹 I’m down-to-earth, calm, and will always be patient & kind to animals of any kind and will respect your home with utmost care. 🏡💕 When you are missing your babies, don’t hesitate to ask for an extra picture or video of them if you want more! I love taking cute photos of every animal I meet and will spoil them with affection. 🌅💗🐩 I will also strictly adhere to any checklist or request that you have— my mission is to give your baby the stability, love, and care that they expect in their daily routine. Whether it is sitting, boarding, walking, or basic grooming, I will provide the home away from home for them by meticulously following directions for specific exercise regimens, dietary restrictions, training (e.g. taking a puppy out to potty every 30-45 min. & rewarding with praise & treat), medication administration, etc. 🍼🧴🧸🎾💊🦮 I will NEVER, under any circumstance, use punishment or fear-instilling tactics. I am a lifelong dog-lover and a dedicated advocate of humane training & treatment of animals. I am Pet First Aid Certified and dedicated to prioritizing pet safety & comfort in order for them and their parents (you!) to be stress-free. ❤️🐾🌎 I can’t wait to meet-and-greet with you & your fur baby! 🫶🐾 I am a full-time dedicated professional pet care provider for families local to the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area. I understand what it’s like to need a last-minute booking, and I will happily take same-day requests! I am currently available 24/7 for all pet care needs. In my home, your babies will enjoy a squeaky clean, comfortable newly-remodeled living room and guest bedroom, as well as a .5-acre fenced-in backyard (will remain leashed while outside) with enriching landscape in a cozy, quiet tucked-away neighborhood. I allow doggies on the couches, but will gladly redirect any dogs away from furniture through positive reinforcement (NEVER PUNISHMENT) if you would like. In your home, I will meticulously adhere to every standard you request and proactively communicate with you regarding in-home checklists as needed.
About: Grew up on a farm with 20 dogs. I had my own dogs and have cared for family and friends’ dogs and cats for years. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend quality time with pets throughout the day. Whether it’s keeping them company, going for walks, playing or sticking to their routine. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed and plenty of love and attentions. I also respect my clients’ home by keeping them clean, secure, and following all instructions to make sure that both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.

“Heather is amazing! Lacey loves to stay with her and she always meets new friends. We can tell by Lacey’s demeanor when we get home that she feels comfortable and secure with Heather! We already have her booked for our next adventure.”
“Nancy was great! Our trip plans were ever changing due to scheduling of my daughters cheer competition out of town. She went with the flow and was very flexible for our drop off and pick up times! She is very responsive and always answered quickly with any questions or just to check in on our pup! We will definitely use her for our future trips!”
“Quinn always feels at home with Amber and we can relax, knowing she is getting the best of care! Amber is especially good at keeping us updated with photos and info about Quinn.”
“Kathryn is a great sitter! Our pup gets lots of personal attention as she will only accept one family at a time and works from home. He loves having kids around during the day and playing ball in her fenced yard. Kathryn is easy to communicate with and we feel much better about leaving our pup in her care than boarding, especially when she sends pictures and updates, which we love. She is always out top choice when when our pup cannot travel with us!”
“Ashley is great!! Storm came back worn out but in the best way! I don’t have a fenced In yard, so makes my heart happy for her to have friends to play with and be able to run freely! She was able to get my last minute, and worked with me on times! Highly recommend, absolutely my go to now!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care provided during our overnight stay! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy, well-cared for, and clearly received lots of attention and affection. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter!”
“Brent is a good person and a great dog sitter. Maple and Mozzie's (Brent's dog) first meeting went great. They played very well together. The day we dropped off Maple at Brent's home, he and his wife were very friendly and inviting with us and our dog Maple. They explained everything involved with Maple's stay and activities in their home. He kept us updated with pictures and texts. I would definitely recommend Brent and Rover to other pet owners.”
“We went out of town for a week leaving our one year old Bulldog with Nef. He came to meet our dog and even accommodated transportation. My dog is very picky on who she likes however it was love from first sight. This was the first time we had to board our dog and now we have our go to person for life. Thanks Nef for the outstanding service!”
“Erin and her family are phenomenal! They sent pics and updates everyday. My dog, Tilly, really took to them and if she feels at ease, I feel at ease. I would 100% use them again to care for my sweet pup.”
“Kelso was absolutely phenomenal!! She is truly an expert on all things related to cats, so my cat was in the best hands and I learned lots of new information on best practices to be a better cat mom :) Kelso gave comprehensive updates on a daily basis and really went above and beyond to make sure my little boy was comfortable and taken care of. I highly recommend Kelso—my cat will definitely be back during my next trip!”
“Laura was a great communicator and made our pup feel at home! She took great photos and also accommodated last minute requests graciously. Highly recommend!”
“Our girl was well cared for by a loving family. We got daily updates and pictures of Hattie. I believe she had a lovely time with Alyssa and her family. We would definitely book her again. Thanks for taking such good care of our girl.”
“Arabella had a great time at Arla's house! Arla did a great job keeping us informed of how Arabella was doing while we were away! Would highly recommend her and her family again!”
“I am so fortunate to have Lynn and her family to watch my 2 girls while I am out of town. She has a beautiful clean house with a large front and back yard for the pups to go in and out as they please. She even went out of her way to add toppings to the kibble when the girls were not eating well at first. I cannot recommend Lynn and her family enough. Will continue to be a repeat customer!”
“Excellent!! These are the NICEST people to take care of my dog!!! I will always check with them first! Polite, considerate, accommodating, reliable and professional.”
