“Kelli did such an AMAZING job with Ellie, I was so anxious and she sent me updates multiple times! I could not have asked for anyone better to take care of my fur baby. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“The perfect sitter for an anxious fur baby. Heavan put both my dog and myself at ease giving multiple updates with pictures while I was out of town for a night. My extremely anxious pooch settled right in which allowed me to enjoy my night away without worry.”
“Larry was very kind and soon made good friends with our pitbull Jersey. He was very responsive to texts and we were very happy to see our happy pup when we returned home from holiday travels. Thank you Larry!”
“We had an amazing experience with Elizabeth as our dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated the entire time with messages, videos, and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: A calm, loving home with a fenced yard—and 30 years of real dog experience to back it up. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. Two years ago, I lost my beloved shepherd. While that was incredibly hard, it inspired me to open my home and heart to other dogs. Since then, I’ve been caring for dogs for family and friends, as well as volunteering with foster dogs—helping them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they wait for their forever homes. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, and I don’t have any pets of my own right now. That means your dog gets my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment—perfect for dogs who prefer their own space or need a little extra comfort. I treat every dog like they’re my own and tailor care to their unique personality—whether that’s active playtime, relaxing companionship, or a steady routine. You can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home filled with attention, affection, and plenty of tail wags. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be home often and adjust my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will be part of a calm, structured, and caring environment. I provide a calm, safe, and loving home where dogs feel relaxed and happy. They get potty breaks, playtime, and fenced-yard fun, and if I’m at work, crating is never more than 4 hours, with breaks on lunch or as needed. With no other pets at home, your dog gets plenty of one-on-one attention and care like family.
“Shawnia was the best pet sitter ever. Seven really enjoyed herself and she made me feel at ease during my whole trip by sending me pictures and updates. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much.”
“Ava did a great job with Finn. He had a fun time playing with her Finn and Honey. He also learned some new things, now I just need to learn them too! I definitely plan to board my Finn there again and continue working with Ava on Finn and my training.”
“Our pups had a blast! We had pictures and videos regularly and when we ran into a snag, Katlynn was immediately understanding and accommodating. Will absolutely rebook!”
“Taya was able to fit not one, but our THREE dogs in very last minute when another river sitter cancelled on us the night before our booking. She very quickly picked up on their 3 distinct personalities and gave them exactly the amount of love, attention, and play time they needed. She sent us a ton of pics and videos from the weekend that left us assured they were feeling right at home so we didn’t have to worry about them and could enjoy the wedding we were in town for. If we were locals, we would absolutely pick her for any dog sitting needs we had. Cannot recommend highly enough!”
About: Pets are family. I grew up with them and know that each animal is unique no matter if it is a puppy or a senior. I'm currently available for boarding weekly. Drop off and pick up times are flexible. I am a retired school teacher with flexibility to give your dog a good experience. I have a fenced in yard and a Beagle to play with your pet to help him/her feel at home. Bring a crate if possible along with their favorite toy.
“Catherine did a great job with our anxious reactive little guy (9 yr old Morkie). She was very responsive and sent lots of photo updates. I recommend her if you have a dog that needs some personal space from other dogs that a normal kennel environment can’t provide.”
“So glad Julie kept our dog for the week. The home environment was so much better than a kennel. We also appreciated the photos and communication throughout the week. We will schedule with her again.”
“Kathy was fantastic with Teddy. She suggested a meet & greet prior to officially booking to make sure it was a good match. For the week that Teddy stayed with Kathy she provided photos, videos and written updates which helped keep us at ease. It is clear that Kathy loves dogs and enjoys having them in her home!”
“There is no one like Anna. She is a blessing from God for our dog. Can't say enough about her as a dog sitter and/or a person. We would never take our dog anywhere else and we have SUCH peace of mind when leaving our dog with Anna.”
“Danielle was amazing with my senior[16] blind husky. All of her huskies are well trained and played very well with my dog. Danielle is very knowledgeable and I trust her to watch my senior husky with no worry. My dog tends to shut down around other people and completely ignore other dogs. When I picked her up she was very happy and playful with the other huskies after a couple days with them”
About: I was raised with Cocker Spaniels my entire life and continue the tradition in my own home with having had 5 . I love dogs of all breeds but would not be able to take a large breed dog. My backyard is 100% fenced . I have the ability to leash or walk your dog for its outside needs if that’s what you prefer. I have a medical background for 45 years so I can administer medications of all kinds. I am retired so I am home 99% of the time so I would be available for your pets needs. I have a reliable car if any emergencies were to happen. I am just starting this side business and hope to provide some loving care to your dog. My back yard is fully fenced. I have one very friendly cocker spaniel . I have a separate space for your animal if needed. My yard is fully fenced. See previous description.

“Eden was fabulous! From the parents of a high needs diabetic senior kitty we could not more enthusiastically recommend Eden as a pet sitter and care giver. They went above and beyond our expectations with great reports, pictures, and making sure they understood Finn's needs and care. Thanks Eden, you were awesome!”
“I travel a lot for work and don’t always have a lot of notice of when I will be leaving…..I always call on Ashton to help me with my kitty. She is honest, a sweetheart, reliable, and my cat loves her. Thanks Ashton!”
“This the second time I've booked Olivia and she continues to take great care of my two cats! She was great about adapting to both cats, especially since one is shy and hides. I would highly recommend Olivia!”
“Michelle provided updates and services as requested. Came home to a non-distressed cat which is all I can hope for with my shy guy. Would book her again.”
“Kelli did such a great job visiting our kitties. You could tell they were completely comfortable with her visits. She did a wonderful job keeping us updated and sending us pictures. 100% recommend booking with Kelli!”
“I highly recommend James, he watched our two kitties for an extended period. He gave them a dedicated room because they are not used to dogs and gave them plenty of attention. His communication was excellent and he shared pictures and updates regularly. I felt very confident about our pets' safety and comfort at his place. Thank you again, James!!”
“Shawnia was amazing! Always gave great photo updates and even walked up our snowy driveway to make sure our cats were taken care of when we got TONS of snow while out of town. 5/5 would recommend!”
“Shaira is very reliable and good with my dog. She gives great reports and photos through Rover. My dog looks happy in every photo. I highly recommend Shaira and will rebook with her when the need arises.”
About: I care with love, patience, and presence. I’m experienced with both playful pups and senior pets, and I treat every animal like family. Reliable, calm, and faith-rooted. Your pet is safe with me. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my week when I’m not waitressing, serving in student ministry, or at church. I have a flexible schedule and love spending my free time caring for animals with presence, love, and joy. 🐾 I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their routines closely, giving lots of love and attention, and keeping their space clean and secure. I respect your home like it’s my own and send regular updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. 🐾
“Ann Mirette went out of her way to provide extra care for our cats. She is very reliable and hard working, we are so appreciative that she is always there to help when we need it!”
About: I've had cats throughout my entire life and they can be a hassle, especially if they're a little mischievous and curious. But it's always worth it. I've had cats my entire life, mainly strays, and they are some weird, crazy cats. Sometimes they get medications for some sicknesses, and I have been able to administer them. So, I hope I can make things a little easier for you!
About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up around cats, my family rescued a cat in 2017, and I have been caring for my own two cats since 2021. Living with cats has taught me that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and reserved, I will provide patient, loving care and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver, and my home, The Cozy Critter Cottage, is a cozy, whimsical place where pets can relax and feel at home while their owners are away. Many people say our home feels like stepping into a magical storybook, with cozy spaces and lots of warmth. It’s the perfect environment for animals who enjoy comfort, attention, and a calm home atmosphere. I have several years of experience caring for and training animals, and I’m comfortable working with pets with a wide variety of personalities, temperaments, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers quiet cuddles and naps, I adapt to their routine so they feel safe and happy. My own animal family includes three friendly ragdoll kitties, a sweet Pomeranian, fish, and chickens. All of my pets are well-socialized and used to being around other animals, which helps visiting pets settle in comfortably. I’m also able to accommodate animals who may need extra space or a quieter environment. My home is large enough that pets can be comfortably separated if needed, which can be helpful for animals who prefer their own space, are adjusting to new environments, or require special care. When pets stay here they are treated like family. They’ll have plenty of attention, cozy spots to relax, playtime, and lots of love. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, training cues, and any specific instructions you provide. I offer most services available on Rover, including boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing during their stay. My goal is simple: a safe, happy, magical little vacation for your pet while you’re away. 🐾✨
About: I have taken care of cats for many years; usually when I horse-sit for pet owners they have barn cats and house cats that I care for alongside them. I’ve had one cat in my household growing up, a rescue named Pancakes, but she passed away from cancer last year. However, that did give me a lot of experience with administering oral medications. I have given medicine to elderly and sick cats I’ve pet-sat for friends before as well.
“Katie is great! She loves animals, and communicates quickly and effectively. She did a little extra for us too, bringing up the trash bins, which we really appreciate too. VERY happy with Katie's service!”
About: Cats certainly one of my favorite animals, when I was a little girl I had a “feral” kitten. It took me nothing but a couple weeks to turn the frightened creatures whole mindset around by showing it love & compassion. I specialize in dietary care for cats due to my cat needing that specific type of care, I enjoy cats of all personality’s wether they are jumping off the walls with energy or a senior kitty who has a little bit of trouble using the bathroom. I’ve helped them all :)
“Emily was great at communicating. She sent photos everyday. Our cats seemed much happier and relaxed when we got home versus the stress they experienced at a kennel in the past I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again”
“Nadia was a joy to work with. Very professional. She kept us informed on the days events. Sent pics & videos of her interaction with our kitty's! Put my mind at ease, since I've never left my 2 year old cats alone. Plus she maintained security of my shop & belongings. I would highly recommend Nadia. We will always request her. If your looking for someone that is on top of their game + trustworthy, its Nadia”

“Kelli did a great job watching our energetic puppy, Riley. She sent a picture soon after we left Riley. It was reassuring to see she was doing fine. Riley had an opportunity to play with Kelli's puppy. She came home well cared for and ready for a long nap!”
“Rex is very easy going and flexible. My dog went right to him without hesitation. She had a great time playing with his dogs and was very tired when she came home. I will use Rex again without hesitation.”
“The best!! my lila had a great time, i would recommend using shawnia a million times. communicated very well and kept me updated throughout the day. My girl had a blast and we will definitely be back.”
“Larry was excellent and very accommodating to my last minute request for doggy daycare. My puppy was very well taken care of and enjoyed her day playing with Larry's dog. I won't hesitate to book with Larry again!”
“Deb is a true gem! She took such excellent care of my two little dogs and they came home after both days with her with happy faces and tired bodies from playing. My shy girl, Clover even snuggled and took a nap at her house! AMAZING sitter, highly recommend Deb. She has a house designed for pups and a beautiful, peaceful and huge backyard. She's home most of the time and just treats your dogs with genuine love and sweetness. I am moving too far to use her services again, but sad to say so, because our experience with her was just absolutely perfect. There may be sitters in the Battle Creek area that charge less, but having tried them with very mixed results - I assure you Deb is worth every penny!”
“Thank you so much Taya for taking care of Simba. The most important thing is you accepted the request with a very short notice. We are so glad we found you and will definitely be continuing to book you for future reference. Thanks again and bless you.”
About: I had taken care of dogs of every kind since I was very young. I have relied on me to walked, feed and bathe their pets. I had also trained 2 dogs with some of the sign language as well to teach the animals to sit and stay with the American sign language. My friends and family have relied on me to take their dogs to the dog park, the beach and go on the morning hike. Just really take care of their animals with the love, respect and support for those need my help for them to enjoy their time or a getaway! I'm currently working from home on my own flexible schedule! I do have a lot of time in between working virtually and I can do my job anywhere! So if I take the dogs to the park or go on a walk, I could work on my phone to reply my emails, messages etc. I do have the good balance of taking a break from work to spend the time with the animals to give them my attention and cuddles and go on a walks or adventures! First thing first is to care the animals with respect, love and comfort to be in your home. If I was at your house, I am that person that will follow your wishes and expectations of how you would want me to care for your animals. I do clean up after myself when I am at your house and to keep it tidy clean as you like it to be. I also like to step outside with the dogs/cats to keep my eyes on them or even just being outside with them and play with their toys to give them my joyful attention. I love to have the transparency communication with the owners as well. I will always ask the owner before assuming or trying things out. I love to meet the animals before starting the whole process to feel it out how the energy goes for us and for your animals too. If it flows great with you, I and your animals then there will be lots of pictures will be shared to you as well!
“She took on my temperamental old man, and he came home happy! She gave me updates and pictures through the stay, which I really appreciated. Will definitely book again!”
About: I have had big dogs and small dogs throughout my whole life raising all kinds of breeds from puppy's to healthy outstanding dogs, I can spot almost instantly when something is not quite right, I have a small dog myself we have raised her from 7 weeks, she is turning a year the end of this month, she has all of her shots and vaccines, health pup, she loves to play and loves to have friends over, if you are looking for a knowledgeable, fun, loving, and caring, dog sitter I'm your gal lol!!!! We have a fun and energetic environment with a large yard as well as plenty of room for walks!!! I am free and have open availability Monday through Sunday, I am just a call or message away and here to help care for your pets!!! I am a very caring, loving, and detail oriented person especially when it comes to animals, I have a fun, energetic environment with plenty of toys, as well as a large yard for room to run and a nice pathway for walks and exercise, i pay very close attention to animals well being and health, some say I may be overly concerned at sometimes even, I still think that is a good character trait either way, so to say the least your pets will be well taken care of and loved as if they were at home!
“Julia was so good and did a wonderful job with Gigi. Gigi was so happy and calm when we went Home. I will definitely book her again! Gigi is an older dog and Julia provided the care that made a difference.”
“Danielle and her Alaska Huskies were wonderful! She was fun and helpful and obviously loved my fur babies and set limits so they knew what was acceptable behavior on her turf! She was accommodating as well. One evening my class went overtime. She had no problem keeping my boys until I could be there. She communicated by text to let me know how they were doing each day. She allowed us to visit before our appointed time so my dogs could be introduced to her dogs. Danielle was wonderful! I highly recommend her!!”
About: I am working on some pretty amazing updates. Additional outdoor yards are in the works, as well as a perimeter fence around the home property! I have also added Tracki to my collars. Tracki runs on global GPS (satellite feedback) and not cellular feedback, giving that extra security for your pups with no interruption in tracking! Bark & Barn is a privately insured in-home kennel that provides overnight and day boarding options as well as drop-in visits/walks for all pets, exotic included. I also provide optional training for dogs. I have five years of experience as a veterinary assistant in a high volume multi-species setting. With this, I have gained the knowledge, training, and experience in animal behavior as well as proper technique in safe animal hold, administering all forms of medication, administering emergency fluids, and animal CPR. Your pups will have access to multiple sections of my home, a fenced play yard, and walks over 120 acres of farm fields and streamed woods! I offer basic puppy training during board and day stays, including potty and crate training. I will gladly accept shark puppies, understanding completely how difficult these pups can be for many caretakers who are not experienced in their breed characteristics. I've worked with and owned dogs for over 17 years. I have a preference for high energy/high drive dogs, though I love all of them just the same. I am a farm mom of school aged children, work remotely, a full-time online student at KCC while my kids sleep, and have plenty of time to devote to your pets. I will follow strict biosecurity and safety measures. I am by no means a "doggy playcare". For their and my safety, I do not allow guest pups to interact together. I have sectioned off portions of my home and large basement for roam, and utilize sanitized in-home kennels for overnight and unattended times as well as movement of guests (inside, outside, walks, etc). I currently have full availability outside of school drop-off in the mornings and flexible pick-ups in the afternoon. I spend my free time caring for my own animals and attending online classes and seminars! I have a knack for social cues and when and how to approach. Discipline is and will always be reinforcement based. I have experience with reactive dogs and understand any dog can be reactive in the right setting, so meet and greets are a must! Our personal working dogs are not within the home's boundaries and remain with their flock at all times.
“Ellie did a fantastic job watching my pup and was a pleasure to work with! She made sure Ophie’s needs were met and provided a great environment for her to get her energy out. I got plenty of updates during her stay, and she came home relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Ellie’s services!!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Katherine and her lovely pups/cats! She was incredibly attentive to my pup, communicated clearly and consistently, and truly went above and beyond to care for Percy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter.”
“Nayoma was great! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family. He takes a while to warm up to others but Nayoma was patient with him and he got more comfortable as the day went on. We were happy to get an update and some pictures of him throughout the day. I will definitely use Nayoma again in the future!”

About: Calm, experienced, and confident with animals--thank goodness, because it's a bit different with humans!--I'll provide constant love, attention, and safety. My sense of obligation to pet owners sets me apart; when your pet is in my care, your pet is my sole concern. I take care of pets as my full time job, and I'm flexible, basing my availability upon the scheduling needs of my pet-care "clients" and their owners. In your home, I like to receive specific instructions about how you like your pets to be cared for in their own environment. That way, I can be sure to respect your home and their routines and provide the best possible care. In my home, your pets are my top priority. When we're not walking or playing outside, we can lounge around and play in any room!
About: I've had numerous pets throughout my life and they can be a big hassle. But it's always worth it in the end. I hope I can make it a little easier and reassuring for you! I live with only one cat at the moment, which is surprising I don't have more pets. But I do take care of my sister's 2 dogs sometimes. I kinda miss having more pets, but I can't get any at the moment, sadly. So I'm hoping this a good outlet for that. I hope to stop by and help your pet when I can, or give them a good walk. I always think that pets should get a good walk/run in at least once a day, especially if it's an energetic blue heeler or something. And I always enjoy a walk too. But if that's not their thing, I'm cool with chilling too and giving all the loving and pets.
About: I have watched cats and dogs since I was a child for family, friends and neighbors. I enjoy watching their personalities when they are excited I am currently doing an online course and have plenty of time to play with your animal babies. I can spend time with your babies as needed I would come in a take them for walks feed and play with them if needed. Give them lots of of love and treats when needed
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, my dogs are my babies and I would treat yours the same. Fully fenced in yard to play fetch in and run around I’m currently a stay at home dog dad so they will never be left alone, always ready to take outside and let play with toys. I let my dogs out every couple of hours, always have food available for them and take them outside to play fetch whenever the weather permits
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life and I house-sit/dog-sit as a part-time job, as well as work at two stables. I grew up with the responsibility of taking care of my own pets, so I enjoy taking care of other people’s animals! Now that my semester is over, my schedule is very open- almost everyday, except Fridays, I have time (unless I have prior plans, and I will try to update my schedule as accurately as possible). I’ll be able to feed, let your dogs out, walk them/play with them, spend time with your cats, etc.! I’d like to know a day in advance, but I could possibly accept a same day booking. I take care of every animal like they’re my own; I’ve taken many dogs off the streets to find their owners. This is no different, your animal will be treated with respect and love while you’re away! I won’t be taking care of animals at my house (due to my own pets), but I would possibly be up for overnight house-sitting once I’ve built a trusting relationship with a client and their animals. But for now I will only be doing drop-in visits and walking.

My goal is simple: a safe, happy, magical little vacation for your pet while you’re away. 🐾✨ Pet care is a natural part of our daily life, and our routine is built around making sure our animal kiddos get consistent attention, structure, and love throughout the day. My wife and I coordinate our schedules so that someone is almost always home. I work full time Tuesday through Thursday, and during that time my wife is home caring for the animals and keeping their routines consistent. The rest of the week, we’re typically both home, which allows us to provide even more supervision, playtime, and one-on-one attention. We start the day with morning walks and feeding, followed by free-roam time in the home so pets can relax and settle in comfortably. Throughout the day, we provide enrichment, attention, and outdoor time in our fenced yard—something our Pomeranian especially enjoys, and visiting pets are welcome to enjoy as well. In the evenings, we do another walk along with wind-down time so pets feel calm and at ease. Because of this setup, pets staying with us are rarely left alone and get a great balance of activity, routine, and cozy relaxation in a safe, structured environment. Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment is my top priority. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family and are always supervised, comfortable, and well cared for. Our pets are our kids! :) Pets are welcome to free roam in a cozy, structured environment, with consistent routines that include feeding, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. For pets who may need extra space, time to adjust, or a lower-stimulation environment, we are able to comfortably separate animals within the home. We also have a dedicated area for crates, making it easy to accommodate crate-trained pets or owner preferences.

“Shaira is everything you need in a care for a dog, she very attentive, knowledgeable, and showed class and professionalism and she's very aware of problems if they exist ,I was pleasantly surprised in her intuition dealing with Thor my American Bully. She kept me up to date with pictures and walks, this was my 1st time leaving Thor with anyone, and she understood what to do and how to react, I cannot say more about this young woman, she will be at the top of my list when I need someone to take care of Thor... Only one problem!!!! There are not enough stars, she actually deserve 10 stars .”
About: I have had animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, chickens… the list goes on and on! I have been caring for my own pets for at least the last 23 years and have cared for others’ pets for at least 15. I have experience with domestic, farm, and a few exotic animals! Our 10 year old pointer, Rooney, just passed away in February so I would like to love on YOUR pets while I grieve and prepare my heart to love a new dog of my own. I am home all day, so your pup would get all of the love and attention they deserve while in my care! I do have 4 young children, but they have grown up with dogs their entire lives and have learned how to be respectful of them. Your dog can be played with, walked, or just loved on! Whatever they need! I do have an indoor/outdoor cat, but she is extremely dog friendly. I look forward to taking care of your babies the next time you need some help! I am a stay at home mom, so I am home nearly all of the day. The longest your dog would be crated would be 1 hour. They will have full access to the backyard and will be given constant love and attention. I have a yard and the whole day to play with your pups or take them for walks! Me and my kids will totally enjoy playing fetch and chase and whatever else your dogs love to do!
About: Animals have been in my life since I was born! I have previously worked with animals in both hospital and shelter settings so I have seen many animals with different personalities! I’ve had experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments and can administer medicine orally and topically. I’ll give your pets so much love and remind them of how cute they are constantly. I am working Monday through Friday from 8-5. Don’t let that stop you from messaging me as I’m sure we can figure something out. :) I enjoy taking the dogs on walks! It is a great way to get energy out and the snuggles are always the absolute best afterwards ! I love utilizing toys/puzzles that encourage using their brain and nose as well! I work full time Monday-Friday usually from 8am to 5pm. My job is quite flexible though so I’m more than willing to work something out with you! I am big on body language. Animals don’t have a voice to communicate with us so I am always making sure the dog/cat is comfortable and doesn’t feel like their boundaries are being pressed/crossed! We can’t have fun if your pet doesn’t trust me so the first day is usually a lot of positive reinforcement and play to prove I’m a safe person!
About: I’ve always been a dog person. I’m the type who will immediately say hi to a dog on the street and completely forget to greet their human. I’ve cared for my own dogs through all stages of life, including supporting two through severe illness and disability, as well as taking in a senior dog with special needs who required extra help with daily care. That experience taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and how important it is to meet each dog where they are. These days, the thing I miss most about having a dog at home is the simple joy of throwing on a leash and exploring the neighborhood together. I’d love to be that person for your dog, whether that means a fun walk, extra attention, or just keeping them company. I have a very open and flexible schedule right now, which means I’m able to accommodate a variety of care needs throughout the day. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, evenings, or overnight care, I’m happy to work with your schedule. I provide care in your home through drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone, especially when they have specific routines or needs. I’m very detail-oriented when it comes to feeding instructions and daily care, and I’m happy to follow even the most detailed directions exactly as given. I have experience administering medications and am comfortable finding whatever method works best for your pet (including the classic “hide it in a treat” approach). Safety is always a top priority. Dogs are always kept on leash during walks, and I’m extremely mindful with doors, gates, and any potential escape routes. I have an escape artist of my own at home, so I understand how important that extra level of awareness is. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment while still making sure your pet gets plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. Whether they’re energetic or more laid-back, I’m happy to match their pace. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away (and yes, I tend to send a lot!).
About: Hi! I have had pets in my life for over a decade and am truly an animal person. I love taking care of animals and am excited at the idea that I can do it at least semi-professionally. In the past, it has been one of my favorite jobs. I have experience with horses, sheep, ducks, guinea pigs, snails, fish, and hermit crabs, as well as cats and dogs. This background has provided me with skills in maintaining appropriate attention to feeding and training routines in multiple species at a time. I have learned to be adaptable to an animal’s habits as they adapt to my presence. Some special skills I have include caring for disabled and senior pets, providing preventative and responsive medication, managing food according to allergies, taking care of trained attack dogs, and providing first aid in an emergency situation. I am a student so am mainly free in the early/mid morning and mid/late afternoons and evenings during the school year. I am also free on the weekends. I have had lots of experience with unique pet care, such as with senior animal needs and allergy and medication awareness. With that experience and my background in care for multiple species, I feel comfortable recognizing signs of abnormal behavior.
About: I have been around many different kinds of animals growing up. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and other small rodents and reptiles. I’m currently working another job full time in the afternoons but I am happy and eager to accept any visits from the early morning until 12:30pm. Overnight visits are also available if I am able to have at least a weeks notice, thank you! Note: I cannot accept requests from clients that live on or near dirt roads in the winter as my car cannot make it through! As your pet sitter it’s my goal to make sure your pets as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I would love to know their routines and personalities so I can care for them as best as possible! All animals in the home need to be included in the request! Cats bunnies and smaller animals in the home during overnight stays must be included in your request.
About: I have always had animals every since I was young, from cats and dogs, to fish and hamsters. As soon as I moved out I got two cats, later on I met my now husband who had two dogs, growing our family. Animals bring me joy and comfort, I have pet sitted family friends pets, neighbors chickens, and I have also worked in pet retail where I grew my knowledge in animal care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I’ve always had animals of my own. I’m currently unemployed, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention, playtime, care, and companionship they deserve while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I believe everything starts with communication and understanding each pet’s normal routine, preferences, and personality. I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for by keeping feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions consistent with what they’re used to at home. I also believe in keeping owners updated with messages and photos when needed, so they can feel reassured and connected while they’re away. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care while respecting both the pet and the client’s home.
About: I have had all different kinds of animals since I was a little kid! I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up along with many other animals! I love all animals. I currently have three dogs and three cats. I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs. I am in college but my schedule is hybrid so I have all the time for your pets! I also have a 8 month old son so we are always looking for ways to get out of the house since I am a stay at home mom. Can take your dogs for a walk anywhere you would like for however long! Can accommodate to your pets needs however that may look for you pet. In home visits there will be lots of playing, potty breaks and petting!
About: Throughout my life I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages from newborn pups to pups on the other end of their walk of life. Friends, family, and family friends often call on me to take care of their pets while out of town. I'm working part-time at the moment at a doggie daycare. I have a very flexible schedule, so plenty of time to play with your pups! Giving meals, potty breaks, medicine as needed, mental stimulation, physical activity, and any other specific requests. Through working with dogs, I have learned dog body language and how to react appropriately.
About: I've grown up with all kinds of animals, from hamsters to horses and especially have never lived anywhere without dogs or cats. I have years of farm and pet sitting experience and am comfortable with all animals. I'm a super active person and I love being outside with pets, playing with them or going for walks. I have a very flexible schedule allowing me to spend as much time with them as possible. I'm currently working from home and have complete flexibility on time, so I can spend as much time as possible with animals during a sit. I'm very active and I walk, run, and/or hike every day, so I love being able to take dogs along with me on adventures, but I can also dedicate time to hanging out in a home. With such a flexible schedule, I can work with the needs of every different pet. I have a flexible routine and can adapt to different needs. I enjoy being on the go and will happily take pets out on adventures with me, but I can also appreciate staying in and having a relaxing day with a pet!

“Kelli did such an AMAZING job with Ellie, I was so anxious and she sent me updates multiple times! I could not have asked for anyone better to take care of my fur baby. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Larry was very kind and soon made good friends with our pitbull Jersey. He was very responsive to texts and we were very happy to see our happy pup when we returned home from holiday travels. Thank you Larry!”
“We had an amazing experience with Elizabeth as our dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated the entire time with messages, videos, and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: A calm, loving home with a fenced yard—and 30 years of real dog experience to back it up. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. Two years ago, I lost my beloved shepherd. While that was incredibly hard, it inspired me to open my home and heart to other dogs. Since then, I’ve been caring for dogs for family and friends, as well as volunteering with foster dogs—helping them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they wait for their forever homes. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, and I don’t have any pets of my own right now. That means your dog gets my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment—perfect for dogs who prefer their own space or need a little extra comfort. I treat every dog like they’re my own and tailor care to their unique personality—whether that’s active playtime, relaxing companionship, or a steady routine. You can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home filled with attention, affection, and plenty of tail wags. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be home often and adjust my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will be part of a calm, structured, and caring environment. I provide a calm, safe, and loving home where dogs feel relaxed and happy. They get potty breaks, playtime, and fenced-yard fun, and if I’m at work, crating is never more than 4 hours, with breaks on lunch or as needed. With no other pets at home, your dog gets plenty of one-on-one attention and care like family.
“Our pups had a blast! We had pictures and videos regularly and when we ran into a snag, Katlynn was immediately understanding and accommodating. Will absolutely rebook!”
“Taya was able to fit not one, but our THREE dogs in very last minute when another river sitter cancelled on us the night before our booking. She very quickly picked up on their 3 distinct personalities and gave them exactly the amount of love, attention, and play time they needed. She sent us a ton of pics and videos from the weekend that left us assured they were feeling right at home so we didn’t have to worry about them and could enjoy the wedding we were in town for. If we were locals, we would absolutely pick her for any dog sitting needs we had. Cannot recommend highly enough!”
“Catherine did a great job with our anxious reactive little guy (9 yr old Morkie). She was very responsive and sent lots of photo updates. I recommend her if you have a dog that needs some personal space from other dogs that a normal kennel environment can’t provide.”
“So glad Julie kept our dog for the week. The home environment was so much better than a kennel. We also appreciated the photos and communication throughout the week. We will schedule with her again.”
“There is no one like Anna. She is a blessing from God for our dog. Can't say enough about her as a dog sitter and/or a person. We would never take our dog anywhere else and we have SUCH peace of mind when leaving our dog with Anna.”
“Danielle was amazing with my senior[16] blind husky. All of her huskies are well trained and played very well with my dog. Danielle is very knowledgeable and I trust her to watch my senior husky with no worry. My dog tends to shut down around other people and completely ignore other dogs. When I picked her up she was very happy and playful with the other huskies after a couple days with them”
“My Sophie is high energy and still young dog and she was willing to take the challenge. Sydney was very kind and put my fears to rest. She sent pictures several times a day with updates. She has a large fenced in yard and also took Sophie on walks, just fantastic!”
“Jenai and Sean were lovely!! We had Jenai and Sean watch our dog Bernie for a weekend while we tied the knot! We hardly ever leave our baby and were a little anxious about it until we met them and they are just so great!”
About: I've always loved being around animals and understand the trust it takes to leave your furry family members with someone new. I'm highly responsible, attentive to detail, and will treat your pets with the same love and care as if they were my own. As a university student with a very open schedule right now, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pets! I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and can easily adapt to your furry friend's daily routine. I am highly detail-oriented and meticulous when it comes to your pet's safety. I double-check all gates, doors, and leashes, and I strictly follow your specific care instructions to maintain a secure, stress-free environment for your furry best friend.
“Jamie was flexible with drop off/pick up schedule and sent updates during stay. My anxious dog seemed very comfortable with her, thanks again for taking care of Clover!”
“Maggie had a fantastic overnight stay with Nayoma. She really understands dogs and makes sure each one is comfortable in their environment and with each other. She was responsive and flexible with my pick-up/drop off which I greatly appreciated.”
