“My sweet girl, Pearl, can be wary of strangers upon first meeting them. But she took an instant liking to Dan and his pup. His large fenced yard provided the perfect environment for Pearl to freely roam and expend her energy, keeping her happy and content. The pictures and video that Dan sent me truly captured Pearl's joy and excitement. It is evident that she felt comfortable and at ease in his care. His thoughtful updates and the love he showed her mean the world to me. I am grateful to have found such a caring and responsible person like Dan to look after Pearl. His kindness and dedication have not gone unnoticed, and I have full confidence in leaving Pearl in his care in the future.”

He was very comfortable with them and when we picked him up, he acted the same as the dog we had left. (we had previous experiences where he was skittish for a few days after staying with a previous dog sitter) Jim and Mary treated our Camden as if he were their dog. I would be comfortable leaving our dog with them anytime and plan to use them again in the future. I highly recommend them!”

Thanks again for the stellar job you did Lydia, my wife and I couldn’t be happier with Sophie’s care! Mike & Lisa”
“Sriju was personable and made me and most importantly, my dog feel comfortable. I could tell he enjoyed being with her. Sriju was amenable to my instructions and gave my dog medicine without concerns. She sent me pictures daily and was approachable and friendly. A friend had recommended her and Sriju was fantastic. She even let my dog sleep with her; I think he behaved better than me. I highly recommend Sriju and thank her for making us feel at peace so we could enjoy our vacation!”

At the meet and greet she was very thorough with her questions about the cat and dog and making sure all their needs were met. It felt like she has an understanding about the types of issues that could arise and how to deal with them. Very organized. Very attentive, warm loving people. I was sent updates and photos throughout my time away. Her yard is crazy big and beautiful and fenced in. My dog LOVED it! She was able to accommodate my daughter’s cat at the same time last minute. I felt so secure knowing they were being well taken care of while I was gone. Cat had her little cat tower and pictures of the cat by the glass door able to look outside and see everything. I am done searching for Rover people… will definitely use Marylee again. Excellent!!”
“Ellen was just wonderful and I know my dog was in good hands while we were gone. She got to run and play and hike on the farm and Ellen sent pictures and videos. Will absolutely use Ellen again to watch our Bella girl!”

Angie asked if I wanted to do a meet and greet first to make sure I was happy and I was SO thrilled with her and the family! You can absolutely tell this family loves dogs and have huge hearts! She sent constant pictures and updates and our puppy didn't want to come home with us when the weekend was over! We will definitely book with them again!”

About: Lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats and a horse and studying psychology in college. I believe quality time for bonding, play and affection is just as important as food/potty breaks for pet happiness. The best part of pet sitting is the quality time spent with your pet after all the business is done! I have a flexible schedule so I'm able to make most times work. I can walk, feed, water, scrub bowls, medicate (comfortable administering oral meds to dogs and cats), clean up as needed, play with and generally whatever is needed to keep your pet on a regular schedule. We have 2 friendly smaller dogs and a dog door & ramp straight out to the fenced backyard. The house is one level with only 1 step in and out. There are crates set up in multiple locations and there are ways to separate animals safely if ever needed. Someone is home all day every day, pets are never kept without heat or AC.
About: I have lived with a dog my whole life. I walk, feed, and play with my 170 lbs mastiff. I also walk, feed, and play with my neighbors 3 dogs, one of which has trouble walking and getting up and down the steps.

If the house does not have a fence I will keep a leash on at all times to help ensure the dogs safety and help prevent them from running away.

About: Hello! While I don’t have any specific training on animals I grew up with a variety of pets all my life. I’m fond of our furry companions and have learned their needs and special requirements tailored to their unique personalities. I have a lot of downtime and can provide cuddles and or distance. I’ve never struggled with any pet, I enjoy offering extra care and even have a grooming station if needed. I love to be active as well so walking wont be a problem. I work from home for now. I do have appointments throughout the week sometimes but do not take longer than 2 hours. I wake up early and sleep late for potty break needs. I’m usually done with work around 2 and can take them to a park after or on the weekends. In my home I can crate dogs if preferred or let them roam freely at my place. My apartment complex has a little dog park and plenty of walking trails around the neighborhood for exercising needs. During our outings I will avoid other pets just for safety reasons. I have my own car that can be used for emergencies or longer trips to better pet friendly parks. They can sleep anywhere they’d like. If in your home, I will carefully do exactly as you say/request. So please provide a clear and detailed description of your baby’s routine. Thank you for your consideration!

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience, caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s been a lifelong passion. From a young age, I’ve been surrounded by animals and have dedicated my life to understanding and supporting their needs. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have worked professionally as a veterinary technician in a veterinary office in Utah, giving me a strong medical background and the ability to recognize and respond to a wide range of health and behavioral concerns. My experience also includes working in multiple kennels across many states where I cared for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. This has given me the skills to handle everything from energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra patience and care. At home, I’m a proud pet owner myself. I have a 13-year-old Chihuahua that I’ve raised since he was a puppy, as well as an 11-year-old pit bull mix I rescued from a shelter in 2017, and my beloved cat I adopted in 2023. My own pets have given me firsthand experience with aging animals, rescue care, and the importance of providing a safe, loving environment. When you trust me with your pet, you can feel confident knowing they will be treated like family—with compassion, experience, and the highest level of care. I am open most days, as I homeschool my child. Saturday afternoons are usually reserved for personal time but I am available in the morning and night. I can let your dog out in your back yard, take them for a walk, clean litter boxes, do playtime, give food, water, and medications on their schedule.

About: I will treat your pet as if it is my own and will make sure they stay calm and happy while you are away!! I have experience with older dogs and puppies! I am available almost all summer.I am a full time college student working on my Bachelors of science but I am home for the summer. Pet sitting can be fit into my schedule as needed. I can let the dogs run outside for a while in a fenced yard, I can take them on walks through the neighborhood, I can practice commands, or just give some snuggles.
About: I have always had a cat and dog of my own growing up but I love all animals big and small. Whenever my family, friends, and neighbors need pet care I am always their first call! I always feed my pets, take them to the vet, and give them plenty of love especially when I am home from college for the summer. I have walked, fed, and cared for animals of many kinds. I love keeping them company while their owners are busy and I am willing and able to clean up after them.

About: I am very kind and peaceful. I know how to approach and introduce myself to pets I've never met. I was raised with dogs and cats in my childhood home and I have been blessed with four dogs of my own and one cat throughout my adult life. My last dog, Cody (a Boston Terrier), passed in September 2016 and since then I enjoy cuddling, nurturing, and playing with my own grandpups (3) who are very happy and excited when they come for sleepovers at my house frequently. I am a business owner working from home which allows a flexible schedule for me and I have the ability to meet client's pets' needs easily because the work I perform is not 9-5. I live in a house on 1/2 acre with a fenced back yard. There is plenty of safe play room for pets. They will have free reign for stays in my home depending on their behavioral needs, just as my own dogs experienced during their lives. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood where I am able to walk dogs by wooded areas and small fields, and also can take them to terrific nearby parks for outside time.
“Just in the few walks we've scheduled with Lin, I can already tell she's the best dog walker we've ever had. Our dog looks forward to their walks together! I've also noticed how much better our dog walks on leash with us - she's not pulling as much.”
About: I’ve never dog sit for someone else before but I would love the opportunity to do so! I have two dogs of my own so I know how to take care of them, give them their proper food, and take them on long and short walks! :) Im currently working part time at my job so for the most part i’m available! Best days and times for me would be Thursday, Friday, and the weekends preferably in the late morning, afternoon, or evening! At my house we have a lot of gates and fenced off areas so that they won’t pee or make messes. If needed I can easily do so! I can also try to feed them specific foods you might have and such.
About: I have always had dogs and cats growing up, which peaked my interest in animal care. In high school I worked as a kennel technician at a boarding kennel and gained an internship at the local veterinary office. now in college, I am studying animal science to hopefully get a degree in veterinary medicine, and continue to pet sit for my friends and family including both cats and dogs. I'm currently home from college for the summer, and home most of the time! I do have a car, and am available almost any time of the day. I have pets in my home that are not socialized, so I would not be able to pet sit in my own home, but I am happy to make the trip to the comfort of their own home.

With overnight sitting I also tend to make sure the house stays neat and pets get lots of attention.

“I'm a first time dog mom and get very nervous every time I'm going to leave my dog at someone's house,but Rodney made me feel very comfortable. we got to meet him before our trip and him and his wife were very nice. He was very nice and gave me a quick response to my messages, he even send me nice pictures of my baby everyday. I'll 100% recommend him.”
“My sweet girl, Pearl, can be wary of strangers upon first meeting them. But she took an instant liking to Dan and his pup. His large fenced yard provided the perfect environment for Pearl to freely roam and expend her energy, keeping her happy and content. The pictures and video that Dan sent me truly captured Pearl's joy and excitement. It is evident that she felt comfortable and at ease in his care. His thoughtful updates and the love he showed her mean the world to me. I am grateful to have found such a caring and responsible person like Dan to look after Pearl. His kindness and dedication have not gone unnoticed, and I have full confidence in leaving Pearl in his care in the future.”
“Christa was excited to meet our puppy and took such great care of her. She sent me pictures of her throughout her stay and even sent her home with a toy! We will be using Christa in the future!”
“Jim and Mary were awesome with our pup. They sent me pictures throughout his stay so I could see how he was doing. He was very comfortable with them and when we picked him up, he acted the same as the dog we had left. (we had previous experiences where he was skittish for a few days after staying with a previous dog sitter) Jim and Mary treated our Camden as if he were their dog. I would be comfortable leaving our dog with them anytime and plan to use them again in the future. I highly recommend them!”
“Asher and Olivia had a wonderful time with Jason! We really appreciated Jason's frequency of communication. This was our first time boarding our puppies and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
“Terri was the epitome of perfect. She was just what my pet Blossom needed. Attention, affection, love, she filled all of those things, and then some. She took many pictures kept us up-to-date, and eased my anxiety!!! I would use her again and again and again, top-notch for sure!!!”
“Lydia was an exceptional boarder, I would highly recommend her to keep your pet in her home. Her whole family welcomed Sophie like she was their own! Lydia supplied daily updates with pictures and couldn’t have been any more helpful. I will definitely utilize her services again hopefully (I will be boarding Sophie again in April). Thanks again for the stellar job you did Lydia, my wife and I couldn’t be happier with Sophie’s care! Mike & Lisa”

“Marylee (and her husband) were amazing!! I pick Rover people based on if I would want to stay with them lol!! At the meet and greet she was very thorough with her questions about the cat and dog and making sure all their needs were met. It felt like she has an understanding about the types of issues that could arise and how to deal with them. Very organized. Very attentive, warm loving people. I was sent updates and photos throughout my time away. Her yard is crazy big and beautiful and fenced in. My dog LOVED it! She was able to accommodate my daughter’s cat at the same time last minute. I felt so secure knowing they were being well taken care of while I was gone. Cat had her little cat tower and pictures of the cat by the glass door able to look outside and see everything. I am done searching for Rover people… will definitely use Marylee again. Excellent!!”

“Angie and family were AMAZING! This was the first time we left our puppy and I was so nervous. Angie asked if I wanted to do a meet and greet first to make sure I was happy and I was SO thrilled with her and the family! You can absolutely tell this family loves dogs and have huge hearts! She sent constant pictures and updates and our puppy didn't want to come home with us when the weekend was over! We will definitely book with them again!”
“We went on an extended vacation and Evvery again went above and beyond caring for our dog - Kingsley. I felt at ease knowing that Evvery was taking care of Kingsley and loving him while we were away . Evvery is such an amazing and sweet person and her presence is always so calming for Kingsley. Everytime we drop him off at their place, he doesn't even look back! Kingsley and I are both so thankful to have found such a fantastic dogsitter and fellow animal lover!! Thank you again Evvery from the bottom of my heart, you make traveling for us a lot less stressful! :)”

She sent daily updates with a photo or two and it was clear that Bondi was having a blast! I was a little worried that he might not want to come home with me because he had such a fun time. Bondi even learned to swim in her pool. I can’t thank Tanya enough for taking such terrific care of my puppy!”

About: I am an animal-lover who would be happy to welcome cats or dogs into my home, or to drop by during the day to make sure your pets are cared for. At home, I strive to create a calm, clean, and caring environment where your animals will feel safe and loved. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with kittens, and helping you make sure your pets get enough attention throughout the day. Most of my pet care experience comes from taking care of my own animals, but I also pet sit as a kid. I raised a loving golden retriever and two Siberian cats. They have great temperaments, which I believe is more a testament to their care than breed alone. If you have shy animals, I'm probably a good fit to help them feel relaxed. I was impacted by a mass layoff and have a pretty free schedule. I have availability for dog walking starting at 2:00 pm. I'm generally available for boarding and am happy to discuss further availability and scheduling for individual inquiries. I will not work with animals with a bite history. I will not take animals that intentionally mark inside or that wear diapers. At your home: - Let me know your expectations. I want to respect your home so you have the best experience. At my home: - Cleanliness is important to me. If you're familiar with Friends, it's more like Monica's apartment and less like Joey's. We take our shoes off inside and try to keep things decent. I don't want to sound like a party pooper, but I'll clearly lay out my expectations and hope you'll recognize it's all in the interest of providing a clean, safe environment. - The home is pet resistant, not pet proof. Gates are available to discourage pets from traversing floors if your pet's physical restrictions include reduced use of stair cases. Please inform of any risk for behaviors like cord chewing - I want to keep your pets safe. - Any pets staying over at my house need to be on a current flea/tick regiment. Most familiar with flea/tick collars. Please inform if the regiment is non-obvious, such as medications or topical treatments. - Pets I work with must be up-to-date on vaccines per local laws and veterinarian recommendations, including rabies vaccinations. Dogs: - Dogs who are boarding >24 hrs. will be taken on 2-3 walks per day, generally following the schedule of 1 long morning and evening walk and one shorter mid-day walk. - Please bring your dog with enough of their food and medications for the duration of the stay, along with instructions for feeding and medicating. I can give your dogs oral medication, and crush it up and mix it with peanut butter if needed, but am not qualified to administer injectable or IV medications. I am uncomfortable giving dogs I don't know eyedrops. - I will have some treats on hand, but if you prefer specific treats, please bring them. - I am happy to brush your dog if you provide the brush, and your dog is ok with a new person brushing them. - For your dog's best experience, please bring your dog's crate or bed, blanket from home, and favorite toys/stuffies for comfort and fun. - Dogs will be able to explore the fenced-in backyard off-leash if they are not at risk for going under, through, or over the fence, or on-leash if they need more supervision. - We sometimes have wildlife that come through the yard, so please let me know if your dog is at risk of escaping trying to chase other animals. - I will supervise dogs while they are in the backyard, and make sure if the poop in the yard it gets picked up quickly - I don't let dog poop accumulate in the back yard. - I typically use baby wipes and/or a towel to clean paws when dogs comes inside after walks. Please let me know if your dog does/doesn't allow their paws to be touched. - Beyond puppies, dogs must be trained to pee and poop outdoors. I will not accept adult dogs that use puppy pads indoors, but can help puppies less than 1-yr-old with potty-training. - Whether or not dogs will be allowed on furniture will be determined on a case-by-case basis, based on behavior. - I will not accept dogs that rip, bite, tear, or defecate on furniture, or otherwise destroy property other than their own dog toys. Cats: - While at our house, all cats are indoor-only cats. This protects your cats and local wildlife. - I will have a cat scratching post. I can't accept cats that scratch furniture, carpets, or the house in general. - Cats must be litter-box trained. Litter cleaning: - I will use scoop-away cat litter. - I will scoop out clumps daily. - I will change out the litter completely, and disinfect the cat box weekly, and in-between animals from different clients.
