About: I’ve grown up around animals and have several years of hands-on experience caring for horses, dogs, and other pets through barn work and daily responsibilities. My experience includes feeding, grooming, cleaning stalls, administering basic care, and keeping animals on consistent routines. I also previously managed a pet store, where I helped customers with pet care needs and assisted with grooming services, giving me experience working with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. Being involved in cheer and an active lifestyle, I’m used to early mornings, long days, and staying dependable no matter the weather. I’m attentive, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m already used to structured schedules and early mornings. Between school, cheer, and my experience working at barns and managing a pet store, I’m very comfortable planning my day around feeding times, walks, and check-ins. I make sure pets stay on their normal routines so they feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m active and outdoors often, so regular walks and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy, not just a task. I’m also reliable with time management, so pets always get the attention and care they need. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions are followed exactly. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel at ease while they’re away. If pets are in my home, I make sure they have a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and get fresh air safely. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means extra playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to a specific care routine.
“My maltese, Lily, stayed with Julie and her son. They were wonderful in every way! She sent me daily texts and cared for her like she would her own. Excellent experience! Highly recommend!!!!”
“This was the first time we used Ms Arla & Rover, I was very stressed but our Javy was in good hands. She sent me updates on him & pictures. We love that he’s able to run, play & go for walks with her. We already have her booked for July while we are on vacation. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby boy.”
“My two dogs had a fantastic stay, also getting so much playtime and attention both inside and outside in the backyard. So happy they took great care with my dogs and that their kids were also super involved yet gentle with the dogs. I'll definitely use this sitter again!”
“Our dog seemed so happy with Ebony! Ebony kept us updated and was super responsive. She was incredibly helpful in watching Cutie last-minute during a family emergency.”
“My 4 month golden had so much fun and had amazing socialization at Nancy’s!! She was good about sending pictures when asked and was quick to respond to any questions! 10/10 would come again”
“Beth is excellent with my dog Deuce. So well cared for. He doesn't even act like he missed me. And her 4 year old son is a great help also! That is a total difference compared to leaving him at a high price dog hotel. Highly recommend her!”
“Gabriella was a terrific host for my boy Jax. She gave me many updates with pictures and videos and met all Dietary needs my 10 year old pup needed. She is very nice and friendly and her dog Yeti is very friendly and happy to see other dogs. My dog tends to have some anxiety but the atmosphere was so positive for him he was playing with toys and her dog Yeti in no time. I highly recommend her for any services you might need for your dogs. Thank you for taking great care of my boy I appreciate it!”
“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!”

“We had the best experience! Our dog was well loved and got loads of playtime and care while we were traveling. He was great about photos and videos, which helped ease missing her. Stefan was friendly, personable, professional, and reliable. We’ll book with him again, no doubt.”
“Angela made Sophie one of her family for over two weeks. She sent lots of pictures every day and it was obvious Sophie felt at home. We were afraid she might not want to come home.”
“I am so happy with Ashley’s caretaking of my boy, Sage while I was out of town. She sent pictures with cute updates. It was clear my dog was so content and happy with her in her home. I’m definitely making her my go to sitter!”

“Deanna took wonderful care of our cat, Huey! She provided lots of pictures and updates and Huey really seemed to love her. We have recommended her to all of our family with pets.”
“Alex was the perfect choice to care for my two rambunctious cats. I was on a 7-day cruise, so I knew I needed someone I could trust because communication can be an issue at sea. I was gone during a really cold week with ice and snow, but Alex was dependable to be there with my cats and my house. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and it was obvious the cats loved her. My house was clean when I returned, which was a relief! I highly recommend Alex and will use her again.”
“Wow! Molly is fantastic. We left for a 10 day long trip for our honeymoon and she made us feel so at ease. We got daily updates of our sweet boys which helped us stay in the loop during our trip. They adored her and normally when we get home from vacation they are noticeably stressed, but not this time. I cannot thank Molly enough for her genuine love of animals. Smokey and Cheddar thank you too!”
“Carolyn is very knowledgeable and fantastic at what she does ? I tried booking puppy care with her and even though she was at capacity she still made an effort to find a solution for me, offering to do puppy drop ins and even came by to meet us that same night. She was on time, loved on our pups, took lots of photos, and Gabe us updates. Love her and will definitely book eith her again!”
“Amanda was very sweet when she came for a meet and greet with our dogs. She is knowledgeable about handling dogs and medicines. She did a great job sitting for us. My dogs were very happy with her. And we are very happy to find her!”

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 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: About Me: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable pet sitter who treats every animal like family. I have more than 10 years of experience with cats and dogs. My husband, our 5-year-old son, and I care for pets together, so your cutie gets lots of attention, companionship, and a warm home atmosphere. We genuinely enjoy spending time with pets—playing, relaxing, and giving them the affection they deserve. We love the outdoors, so if your pet enjoys it too, we’re happy to include fun adventures like neighborhood walks, gentle hikes, and fresh-air outings—always tailored to your pet’s age, energy level, and routine. If I’m staying in a city with a nearby beach, such as San Jose or San Francisco (where I sometimes visit family), we may also enjoy a beach outing, always with your permission and only if it’s a good fit for your pet. For pets who prefer a quieter pace, we’re just as happy to provide calm companionship, enrichment, and cozy cuddle time at home. Cleanliness and health are a big priority for me. I take pride in maintaining a clean, safe environment—deep-cleaning litter boxes, keeping feeding areas tidy, refreshing water bowls, and making sure pet spaces stay comfortable and sanitary. I believe the small details truly make a big difference for pets and their families. Most importantly, I care for every animal as if they were my own. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to behavior cues, routines, and preferences—whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or senior. Daily Updates: I will send daily updates with photos and videos, so you can see how your pet is doing and feel relaxed while you’re away. I can also include notes on meals, walks/potty breaks, playtime, and overall mood if you’d like. What You Can Expect: Loving, family-style care and companionship Clean, healthy pet environment (litter box/feeding area hygiene) Routine-focused care (meals, meds if needed, walk schedules) Daily photo + video updates for peace of mind On a weekly basis, I set aside time for deeper tasks like thorough litter box cleaning, refreshing food and water stations, and ensuring medications or special diets are handled with care. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, these responsibilities don’t feel like chores — they’re a rewarding part of my everyday life. The boarding is available daily after around 3 p.m. When I board pets in my home, I treat them as part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease. Pets stay on their normal routine as much as possible — including feeding times, walks, medications, and bedtime habits — so they feel comfortable and secure.
About: I have over 18 years of hands-on experience working with animals and take pride in providing safe, knowledgeable care for every pet I work with. I’ve trained multiple dogs in behavioral rehabilitation and personal protection, which has given me strong skills in reading body language and handling a wide range of temperaments. I also have experience working as a veterinary technician, so I’m comfortable monitoring pets for health concerns and administering medications if needed. In addition to dogs and cats, I have extensive experience training and handling horses, which has helped me develop patience, consistency, and a deep understanding of animal behavior. I truly care about the animals in my care and believe every pet deserves attentive, reliable, and compassionate treatment while their owners are away. I work from home so I have all the hours to dedicate to your pets and provide the best care possible. Book with me today!

About: I’ve always had pets growing up, from dogs & horses to rabbits and hamsters. I currently have 3 dogs from 40-65 pounds. My lab is on daily medication so I am comfortable giving your babies meds if needed. My friends and family have always relied on me to take care of of their pets and I’m always willing to! I currently work a full time job Monday through Friday. I go into office one-two days a week so but the rest is wfh! I am willing to workout any needs for the weekend.

About: Consider me Grandma to your fur babies! I can come for the weekend so mom and dad can get away :) Multiple dogs, cats, horses, and donkeys are part of my life, and I know it's important to have a pet sitter you trust.

I will respect your home. I have 100% availability other than doctor appointments and normal life events. I currently watch my grand dog once per week as well but that's a flexible day. I believe dogs need play, but what that looks like depends on the age/ breed. I don't feed pets a lot of people food and I do make dogs mind. I take dogs out for potty on leash only, so your dog will need to be polite, and I can assist in training as needed. I'm not currently working so I'm available and want to engage with your fur babies! I can do what your pet likes, whether that means playing or cuddling, I let the animals steer the activities. I make sure your babies entertained so they aren't bored and destructive. I spend time scratching ears, petting, and loving on animals I watch so they feel secure and adored.

“Brooke is fantastic! Our high-energy dog gets great exercise and adores her. Brooke is friendly, trustworthy, and reliable. Great experience. We highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of my cousins/family members pets multiple times, walking them and feeding them. I love taking care of them and spending time with them, and i’d love to be able to do the same woth your dog ! I’m able to walk anytime between 9am to 6pm on weekends! Week days, im able to walk 6-10pm, can definitely take care of your dog after school hours and majority of the day on weekends. I’ve got treats for your dog and can walk them over 30min and love walking your dog, great time to get their exercise in !
About: Growing up, we always owned tiny dogs. Although, I always wanted a bigger playful dog; one you could actively spend time with and give your full attention to. After moving to Kentucky from Texas, we adopted Bonnet, our (now) 3-year-old Border Collie/Aussie mix. She is incredibly sweet and playful. Bonnet is great for shy dogs who want to ease into social settings, and also dogs who just want another play date! As a stay-at-home doggy mama, I have plenty of time and attention to give. I am always around, and available to oversee animals who want to roam freely opposed to being caged for hours at a time. Our Border Collie/Australian Shepard mix, Bonnet, is gentle and playful. She is always great with other dogs, so we tend to let them roam together as much as we can (supervised of course). We have a gated play-room for the dogs to have space to play with toys without the risk of getting into anything dangerous! We can also easily crate or seperate animals if needed.
About: Kind, patient, and reliable. I have cared for many cats and dogs and would love to help care for yours. Whether it's a daily walk, or pet sitting, I'm excited to meet your companion. I have immediate open availability. Whether it is a cold, warm, or rainy day, early mornings or evening. I would be more than happy to help!

About: I've taken care of many animal types throughout my life, growing up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses and cattle. I love a good walk at the park with my dogs! Any animal interaction fills my cup! Animal care will be my part time job for my summer off of college! I will be available weekdays Monday-Thursday from 6am to 8pm. I love getting to know pets personalities and enjoying quality time with them for excercise and care. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for dogs to play, as well as knowledgeable experience of keeping pets safe at home and outdoors.
About: Never had my childhood home had less than 5 animals. I've grown up taking care of dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rats, mice, gerbils, bunnies, and turtles-most of those under solely my care. I've always loved caring for my animals and watching them grow. I'm currently working a very flexible schedule Monday-Friday so I will be available almost any time! With weekends, just ask! I can usually squeeze in a visit/walk no problem. We have a 3200 sq ft 2 level home with a large unfenced yard. I have one friendly 8 year old female labradoodle, one very sweet, friendly, and energetic 1 year old newfoundland mix, and another very nonchalant 5 year old male cat. I also have a 9 year old son and a 3 year old son who both love and respect animals. Our home is a very comfortable space for any kid friendly animal to enjoy. We feed 2x a day, let them out to potty at least 4x a day-I will leash if necessary.
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. All my fur babies have been trained by me. if you have a puppy that is still in training I have no problem with that. we have all been there. I worked for a year at a local animal rescue. Where I was able to strengthen my knowledge on behavioral training and pet health. I am a college student and am free lot of the time but class are during the day. So breaks away from your fur babies might be longer during the semester. My top priority is to make sure your animals are safe and secondly happy. This means checking on not only your fur babies but also your house to make sure there are no new problems arise. Checking off the to-do list is numbee one but giving your pet time to play and enrichment is also an important priority of mine.
“Angela is a lifesaver! I have been working extra at the hospital every weekend due to Covid and her coming to walk my dog every morning that I work has been priceless. Her positive, upbeat and energetic attitude is just what my 8 month old Labrador needs after being in the house all night. And with my hurt back, just what I need after a 12 hour shift on my feet. I haven't used Angela for other services yet other than dog walking, but when I need them, she'll be the first one I ask. She is punctual, responsible, considerate, full of energy and always puts a smile on my Sochi's face!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets, horses, and even some exotic animals. I’ve worked and alongside veterinarian's in both small animal hospitals and equine practices — so your pets are always in safe, knowledgeable hands. Whether it’s a puppy, cat, or horse, I treat every animal as if they were my own with patience, gentleness, and attention to their needs. I’m comfortable with special care routines, medication schedules, and animals of all sizes and temperaments. Because I love working with animals and caring for them it is a stress reliever and gives me satisfaction with spending time with animals of all kinds. When I care for pets in your home, my goal is to make them feel completely comfortable and loved while keeping their normal routines consistent. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and preferences — whether that means quiet snuggles, long walks, or plenty of playtime!
About: I’m a dog trainer with 5+ years of experience and I own my own training business, Canine Communication, LLC. I’ve worked with almost every breed of dog and specialize in obedience, manners, and puppy development; I have also trained therapy dogs and protection dogs. I am well versed in animal behavior and pride myself on helping my training clients better communicate with their canine companions. Before starting my training career, I dog sat while I attended Bellarmine University. I have dog sat for several families in their homes and have also boarded dogs in my home through my training career. As a dog trainer who owns her own business, I have a great deal of flexibility which allows me to not only serve my training clients, but to best serve my walking and sitting clients as well. My schedule allows me to ensure all dogs under my care receive dedicated time and attention. I live on a few acres and have multiple long lines (long leashes that are 15-20 feet) that I use to potty break and walk client dogs around the property. They get to romp and sniff and enjoy a sense of freedom while still safely on leash. I have multiple crates of varying sizes inside that I use when I am not home. Pet safety and health is paramount for me.
About: I have lots of experience working in dog boarding facilities & doggy daycares. I have plenty of experience with medication, special needs dogs, senior dogs. You can rest assured your pup will be treated like the king or queen they are! I can help energetic dogs run out some energy or if you have a snuggler, I can snuggle to their heart's desire. I'm not opposed to doggy kisses either! I love all dogs and I believe it shows! I personally have four dogs that really are my entire world. I will be sure to treat your dog as if they were one of my own. I can be pretty flexible. I do work full time but I can work around that, if need be!
About: Dogs are my passion. I have been loving and caring for dogs before I ever had my own. I grew up taking care of neighbors dogs. I would take them for walks, bathe them and just hang out with them because I didn’t have one of my own. I finally got a husky when I was 10 and currently own 4 dogs. I am very familiar with many breeds of dogs as well as different temperaments. I also train dogs, from puppies to adults, and small to large. I have yet to meet a dog I haven't fallen in love with. If you are looking for someone who will love your dogs as much as you do, I am your girl. I used to board, but recently had a baby so I had to step away from boarding. However, I am still available to do drop in visits and dog walks! My daily schedule is very flexible so I will be easy to work with. Your dog will never be let out without a leash if not in a fenced yard and all rules you establish will be met. Your dog will be treated like one of my own. My babies are family.

About: I’ve always LOVED dogs. Anyone that knows me knows I must say hi to any pup I see! My husband and I have a 4 year old and 2 year old mini Aussie who might get spoiled rotten. I work from home, so have quite the pet friendly schedule. I work from home so have the flexibility to take a break throughout the day and go take your pup for a walk Since I will be out and about anyways with my own pups. We exercise often In the backyard several times a day or head to the dog park which is about a 10 minute drive away. Always looking for an excuse to play outside.
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up. I have always had a great bond with each one of them. As of right now I have a big golden doodle, and a little Aussie doodle, I love them both so much. My friends make fun of me because I baby them so much, I take them on car rides with me all the time and buy them ice cream cones every now and then. I promise to treat your dogs exactly how I treat mine! I’m currently unemployed, I’m about to go off to college in about a month so I’m just trying to find something to do in the meantime to keep me busy. I do play sports though so that does keep me busy but I can kind of move around when I want to practice or train so I should be pretty available. Well I take both of my dogs for walks often. I have a aussie doodle who is little, and a golden doodle who is huge, so no matter how big or small your dog is I can handle them.
About: I'm 33 years old. I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my whole life! I unfortunately lost my fur baby in January of 2022 and due to landlord issues I can’t have another of my own again yet! I work full time as a nanny out of my home during the week, I'm very responsible and caring. I try to have flexible scheduling and would love to be able to care for your fur baby. I've been house sitting for about 8 years now. I'm a hard worker just looking for a chance to make a little extra money on the side doing what I love. Children and animals are my passion. I'm experienced with fish, turtles, dogs, cats, horses, cows and other farm animals. If you take a chance on me I promise you won't be disappointed!! I can do overnights and mid day potty breaks, as I work full time with a 8-5/6 schedule. They would unfortunately have to be on their own for most of the day though. I can’t have the animals in my personal home but I would do whatever you are comfortable with to keep them safe inside your home. I have experience with crating if necessary. Also have experience with cameras inside the home to keep an eye on your animals

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have several years of hands-on experience caring for horses, dogs, and other pets through barn work and daily responsibilities. My experience includes feeding, grooming, cleaning stalls, administering basic care, and keeping animals on consistent routines. I also previously managed a pet store, where I helped customers with pet care needs and assisted with grooming services, giving me experience working with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. Being involved in cheer and an active lifestyle, I’m used to early mornings, long days, and staying dependable no matter the weather. I’m attentive, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m already used to structured schedules and early mornings. Between school, cheer, and my experience working at barns and managing a pet store, I’m very comfortable planning my day around feeding times, walks, and check-ins. I make sure pets stay on their normal routines so they feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m active and outdoors often, so regular walks and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy, not just a task. I’m also reliable with time management, so pets always get the attention and care they need. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions are followed exactly. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel at ease while they’re away. If pets are in my home, I make sure they have a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and get fresh air safely. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means extra playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to a specific care routine.
“This was the first time we used Ms Arla & Rover, I was very stressed but our Javy was in good hands. She sent me updates on him & pictures. We love that he’s able to run, play & go for walks with her. We already have her booked for July while we are on vacation. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby boy.”
“My two dogs had a fantastic stay, also getting so much playtime and attention both inside and outside in the backyard. So happy they took great care with my dogs and that their kids were also super involved yet gentle with the dogs. I'll definitely use this sitter again!”

“My 4 month golden had so much fun and had amazing socialization at Nancy’s!! She was good about sending pictures when asked and was quick to respond to any questions! 10/10 would come again”
“Beth is excellent with my dog Deuce. So well cared for. He doesn't even act like he missed me. And her 4 year old son is a great help also! That is a total difference compared to leaving him at a high price dog hotel. Highly recommend her!”
“Gabriella was a terrific host for my boy Jax. She gave me many updates with pictures and videos and met all Dietary needs my 10 year old pup needed. She is very nice and friendly and her dog Yeti is very friendly and happy to see other dogs. My dog tends to have some anxiety but the atmosphere was so positive for him he was playing with toys and her dog Yeti in no time. I highly recommend her for any services you might need for your dogs. Thank you for taking great care of my boy I appreciate it!”
“Scott and Melissa did such a great job with our dog. They were responsive and sent us updates, asked for our feedback before making decisions like going off leash, getting in the creek, etc. Their two dogs are also sweeties and our dog got along well - we were happy she had some friends to play with. We’d book with them again in the future for sure.”
“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!”
“We had the best experience! Our dog was well loved and got loads of playtime and care while we were traveling. He was great about photos and videos, which helped ease missing her. Stefan was friendly, personable, professional, and reliable. We’ll book with him again, no doubt.”
“Angela made Sophie one of her family for over two weeks. She sent lots of pictures every day and it was obvious Sophie felt at home. We were afraid she might not want to come home.”
“Jared and Waverly have an awesome set up and took take care of my pups for an overnight stay. They also do a meet and greet with your pups and their regular doggy day care pups to make introducing pups smooth. I will definitely book my pups a stay with them again!”
“Gabrielle was amazing with our little Izzy. She was treated just like family and got to have great socialization with their dogs and cats! I loved the videos that she sent us of Izzy having fun playing with them. I most certainly recommend leaving your pet with her! I most definitely will be using her again!”
“I am so happy with Ashley’s caretaking of my boy, Sage while I was out of town. She sent pictures with cute updates. It was clear my dog was so content and happy with her in her home. I’m definitely making her my go to sitter!”
