“Hanna and her family made Charlie feel right at home! They accepted his stinky shoe fetish and his desire for hands constantly petting with absolute open arms (his favorite). Her two fur babies welcomed him and left him absolutely exhausted and maybe a little depressed that there’s no one to play with in his own backyard. We will definitely be rebooking again! Thank you!”
“Bradley communicated well, sent many pictures and ensured our pup was well cared for. We appreciated meeting before the drop off for the dogs to get acquainted. We will certainly use Bradley again when visiting St. Joe.”
“Thank you Olivia for taking such good care of Rosey Girl. This was our first overnight away and we were very nervous dog parents. Olivia was very kind and reassured us while we were away by sending updates and photos. We will be repeat customers.”
“Winston loves going to Jenny’s when we are in town. She is amazing and her dog Jonas is so friendly and gentle with Winston they play together so well. Highly recommended Jenny as your dog sitter. Thank you so much ☺️ ❤️”
“Clara is great! Her kennels are so clean. Our Evelyn came home happy and smelling nice!😊. She is an older dog who needs medication and I felt very confident leaving her in Clara’s hands!”
“Leandra did a great job taking care of Millie at my apartment. She was trustworthy and I could tell felt comfortable taking care of a rather anxious, but sweet little dog. I would rebook with her in a heartbeat.”
“We were in a bind when our original sitter got sick right before we had to leave for my son’s wedding, and Stacy came through for us at the very last minute. She was absolutely wonderful with Sophie, so patient and kind. She sent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. We’d definitely love to use her again in the future.”
“Luke and his family were exceptional! He was incredibly flexible with accommodations. We were able to leave Rosie and Loki with him in complete confidence that they would be taken care of, and provided daily photos and updates. I would highly recommend!”
“Our high energy sweetheart can be overstimulated if the people around her don't know how to interact with her, but she did great with Alydia! We were traveling to visit family and we were nervous about leaving our dog with someone new, but we didn't have a thing to worry about! Alydia asked all the right questions and our dog loved being with her. Will definitely book her again when we're in the area. Thanks so much!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs. Either it being within the family or friends. I have experience with all sizes and ages. I have no concern adapting to your dogs unique needs. I work partly remote through the week. Allowing for pee breaks throughout the day. I have weekends open most of the time. It will be no problem to provide a comfortable stay for your pup. I have a fenced yard and safe house in a great neighborhood. I currently have one medium dog full time and my girlfriend has two small dogs here part time.
“I would highly recommend Greta to care for any pets. Our dog loves her, and she has been really flexible when we needed to change dates at the last minute. She is very caring towards dogs and is professional and easy to communicate with.”
“Nicholas was so great at taking care of my dog and walking me through my first time using Rover! He was always easy to get in touch with, and I’ll plan on reaching out to him again when I have to travel without my dog.”
“She took great care of my pups and they seemed very happy and comfortable in her home. She was very communicative and I appreciated the photos while we were gone. Will be using her again.”
“Debbie watched my dogs for three weeks while I was in the middle of moving out of state. My older dog wasn’t doing well, and my younger dog has tons of energy—I didn’t want to stress either of them with all the commotion of the move. Debbie is such an amazing sitter. She took them for several walks a day around the beautiful lake near her home and along some great neighborhood trails. Freya absolutely loved it there. When Odin started getting sick, she didn’t hesitate to help—she took him to the vet for me and cared for my sweet boy until I was able to pick him up a few days later. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave my fur babies. Thank you so much, Debbie. You are truly amazing. I highly recommend this sitter!”

“An absolutely phenomenal pet sitter. We could not have found a better person to watch our cats while we were gone for several days. Hanna dropped in twice a day to care for our cats while we were out of town. She is super friendly and warm and sweet. Our cats fell in love with her instantly. We invited her husband to visit our place with her , and he was great with the cats too. Hanna was a great communicator. She kept us up-to-date and reached out if she had questions. She also sent us numerous photos and videos of our cats as she cared for them. That’s how we know how good she was with them. For most of us who have pets, they are almost like our kids, and we want to leave them in the best care possible when away. Hanna is the person to take care of your animals. If you are in need of someone to watch your animals while you were away, ask Hanna before anybody else. You will not be disappointed, I promise. We will absolutely reach out to Hanna again for future travels.”
About: I have experience caring for cats and understand that every cat has their own personality and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving cats space when they like a calmer environment. I pay close attention to behavior and make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your cat is doing well.
About: I have grown up around pets, both cats and dogs, and always enjoyed caring for them. I’m confident I can adjust to your pets needs. I have a flexible schedule, so I can manage drop ins and walks for dogs at whatever times work best for you and your pet’s schedule I will always do everything I can to ensure the safety of your pets when they are in my care. If there are any special requirements for your pet please let me know so I can ensure their safety
“Thomye and her daughter were the best Cat Sitter ever! Super nice and friendly! They sent us pictures the whole time we were gone. Completely stress for experience, knowing our Cat summer was in great hands! Highly recommend!!!”
About: I never grew up with cats, but I've always been acquainted with them through friends and family. I've taken care of cats sparingly since I was a teenager (mostly chilling with them on the couch and feeding them) but actively began working with them on a daily basis in 2024 when I worked as a bather and caretaker in pet boarding. Then, in 2025, we rescued 2 tiny kittens! I did a TON of research, and they're extremely well-balanced. I have experience administering oral medications for cats with my past work experience, as well as bathing, brushing, nail trimming, and how to spot illnesses. My past work experience has been invaluable. I've met cats of all kinds, from Persians to feral strays, and recognized conditions from poisoning (the cat is okay!) to UTIs. I believe what I lack in personal experience I make up for in professional know-how!
“So grateful to Michelle for watching our girls recently! You can tell she truly loves pets, and was so patient with our elderly girl, Ribbon. Thank you so much again! Would definitely rebook. :)”
“Laralyn took great care of my puppy! She is very sweet and made sure my puppy had a fun time! She also corrected her when it was necessary. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Ambrosia was great again!! My cats and dogs were very happy with her! She is very flexible and helpful which is great! It was my second time having her watch my pets and I wasn’t worried one bit! She is the best!!”

About: Hi! My name is Sierra, and I am an artist, athlete, and am generally pretty active around town and in community events. I'd love to meet you and your pets! I grew up in a home with cats and have always been a passionate pet owner. My own cat is 17 and healthy, but I love spending time with dogs too. In my teens, in college, and through adulthood, I've pet-sat for many dogs over the years in order to spend more time with them and learn about their behaviors and needs. I've always wanted my own but have been too mobile to make a full-time commitment. My loss is your gain! I've worked with reactive and non-reactive dogs, small dogs and large dogs, and puppies and elderly dogs. I am very comfortable with animals and, due to my active nature, love taking them on walks around town or at the park. I am happy to also stay home with them if they're in their golden years or are less mobile. I will likely want to know a fair bit about your dog or cat when we first meet to ensure they are well cared for in your absence and to ensure I am prepared and aware of their behaviors if we are around other people and/or other animals. The same rules apply for kitties! I love cat sitting too. All in all, I love animals and genuinely enjoy taking them for walks, spending time with them, and making sure they feel loved. I have some experience working with sheep as well, so if you are on a farm or have other livestock, I'd love to help out in that regard too! I hope to own my own small farm someday. Thanks! I am currently working as an artist and researcher, so I have a flexible schedule. This means I can adjust my schedule to suit your needs and can stay overnight if needed. I will likely ask a lot of questions the first time I dog/cat sit for you. Knowing your pet's routine and their preference is very important to me to make sure I am prepared to take good care of them in your absence. I appreciate detailed instructions for house sitting, especially to make sure your pet is as comfortable and happy as can be while you are away. I do not mind if you'd like photo or text updates throughout the time you are away, so you can rest assured your pet is in good hands. I feel the same when I am traveling! For walks and such, I will still have a few questions to ensure I know how to best care for your pet while interacting with other animals and people. I am able-bodied and active and love walks at all times a day to get my (and their) steps in!
“Alicia was great with my cats! They really took to her, and she kept me updated with notes and photos at each visit. She also went above and beyond cleaning up and bringing in packages. I’d definitely recommend her for pet sitting!”
About: I have experience caring for cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. I currently have cats of my own, so daily cat care is already a big part of my routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, administering routine care, and making sure cats receive plenty of attention and affection. I understand every cat is different — some are very social while others need extra patience and space — and I work to make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home while in my care.
About: I grew up with pugs and treated them like my kids — Bruce, Tobias, and Otto were my world. I’ve cared for senior dogs, playful puppies, and even dogs with special needs. Now living in the U.S. and missing my own pup back in Brazil, I’d love to share all my love and experience with your furry friend. I’ll treat your dog like family — with patience, affection, and lots of belly rubs! I recently moved from Brazil to support my husband’s new job, so I’m currently taking some time off from work. That means I have plenty of time — and love — to give your pup! I’m available in the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings, until the sun sets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every dog as if they were my own — with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I follow routines closely, respect your rules, and create a calm, cozy environment where pets can truly feel at home.
“Michelle is great. She is very responsive and a true delight. But most importantly, our cat, Homie, loves her! We are very lucky to have found such an amazing person for our kitty.”

“Hanna and her fur babies were very friendly and welcoming. This was our first Rover experience. Rubi has previously gone to two different daycare facilities (not homes). Both of those times it took her a couple of visits to fully settle in. Not today though. Rubi quickly felt at ease with Hanna and her fur babies. Hanna did a wonderful job of making me feel comfortable leaving Rubi with her. She sent me several photos and a video during the day. We will definitely visit again.”
“Great day - our pup came home tired and happy. Appreciated the communication about other dogs who would be there. Looking forward to using Summer for our weekend boarding needs!”

I have many years of experience taking care of animals including dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, parakeets, parrots and semi-tropical fish. I enjoy their company very much.
“Olivia was very calm and friendly. Both with me and Webster. He actually seemed happy when I picked him up. That has not always been the case when he has been left with a caregiver.”

Working from home gives me the extra time needed to care for your fur babies while you’re gone! I have a fenced in yard for your dog to play. My Belle loves to play with other dogs. I have room for a crate in my home if need be.
“The dogs went with Jeremiah happily and settled in well with him. He was flexible about when we dropped them off and when we picked them up, which was very helpful. His farm is a great environment for the dogs. We will definitely use his services again! He was great with them.”
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover who has cared for pets of all kinds! From house pets to farm animals,I have experience with them all.

About: Hi, I’m Katie! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover, mom of four, and experienced pet caregiver who genuinely believes our pets are part of the family. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I’m attentive to routines, feeding instructions, medications, exercise needs, and all those little quirks that make your pet unique. I have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, and a variety of animals through our own busy little homestead. Whether your pup needs a good walk, some playtime, companionship while you’re away, or simply lots of love and attention, I’m happy to help! My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are safe, cared for, and getting plenty of affection while you’re away. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—and I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you don’t miss them too much! ❤️ I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine! I care for my own dogs, cats, ducks, and chickens every day, so I’m very comfortable with the responsibility and consistency that comes with caring for animals. I’m home full-time for most of the day, with only school drop-offs/pick-ups and occasional errands taking me away. Because of that, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide frequent potty breaks, typically every 1–2 hours, as well as regular check-ins, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I love being home and having animals around, so pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle rather than feeling like just another job. 🐾 I tailor care to each pet’s individual needs, personality, routine, and comfort level. For boarding and doggy daycare in my home, pets become part of our household routine with plenty of attention, supervised play, potty breaks, and downtime. I have a large home and a country setting, so there’s room for pets to be comfortable and enjoy their time here. For dog sitting and walks, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I’m home full-time for the most part, so I’m able to provide frequent care and attention rather than leaving pets alone for long stretches. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll communicate with you throughout their stay or visit and am happy to send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing. 🐾
“Wonderful doggy daycare experience. Brock had a great time hanging out with his two new buddies and loved roaming around the beautiful garden. Emily was a great communicator and sent the sweetest updates. Would book again in a heartbeat. Thanks y’all!”
About: Ive always had pets growing up my whole life, I started watching other people’s pets my last year of high school. I love all animals and I care for them like they are my own. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet behind when going on vacation, work calls, etc. which is why I keep all owners updated and informed on how their fur babies are doing. I currently work a 9-5, M-F. However my boyfriend gets off work at 3. Which is why I have my availability set to the weekends. I am not opposed to weekdays I just want to be up front about my schedule. I live on a half acre but we are out in the country surrounded by open fields. Therefore we have plenty of room to run, walk, and play, I also have two dogs myself to keep yours company and play! I do crate my own dogs when I leave the house because we have an open pantry and we’ve had trips to the vet because of things being eaten that should not have been… Therefore I prefer to crate dogs when I leave the house.

About: Hi! My name is Audrey! I am a former nurse and used to take care of humans for a living but am pursuing a career change. I now take care of fur babies, but my 7 years of nursing experience has taught me patience, flexibility, and safety skills (as well as making me an expert at cleaning pee and poop). I've been a dog owner and taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I've had multiple dogs growing up and currently own my 10-year old Golden Shepherd Mix rescue, Maxx. It brings me so much joy and happiness to meet any and all dogs/cats and to give them love and attention they deserve. I volunteer at the Humane Society to help socialize those dogs and give them love but also to gain experience meeting as many dogs as possible to learn more on how to identify dog behavior/body language and how to gain their trust when meeting a new person. I also love taking fun pictures, so you will get lots of pictures of your fur baby while you're gone. I also work part time as a barista and will occasionally be working 4 to 8 hr shifts periodically throughout the week, but with enough notice, I can try to adjust my schedule to accommodate for you if your pet can't be alone for long periods of time. I can't imagine a life without having a fur baby, and I hope I get to help take care of yours! I work part time as a barista and my schedule changes every week with shifts varying from 4-8hrs long at a time. With enough notice (usually about 2-3 weeks ahead ideally), I can adjust my schedule to try and accommodate for you especially if your pet can't be alone for long periods of time. I'm willing and able to do any day of the week! I'm fairly flexible, so I'll do my best to get my schedule to work with yours. I live in a cozy 2-bedroom apartment with a lot of space to walk around the apartment complex. There is a fenced in dog runner at this complex too.
“Constance is always so attentive to Hudson’s needs. He’s been working his way back from an injury and she has been so perceptive in knowing when he’s done and ready to rest. He’s always so happy to see her and loves her even more for all the treats he gets when they are back from their walk.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since my first dog “Beau” when I was 8 years of age. I’ve since had two beautiful adopted puppies. I look forward to training or assisting with any dog.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—no pup too big or small! I’ve also walked cats, administered meds, brushed teeth, and provided loving care for seniors.

I currently have full availability and offer flexible, reliable care for your pets! I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, walks, daycare, and more—even same-day appointments. I do have little ones at home, so we may step out briefly for park outings, but never for long. Your pet will still get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away!

“Shawn braved the December snowstorms several times a day to care for our four little fur babies. She is a true pet-sitting extraordinaire—extremely knowledgeable, reliable, and devoted.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of multiple different breeds since I was 11 years old. My family always relied on me to watch over dogs even when away so it included walks, feeding, grooming, playing, etc. I even own a dog of my own and provide other dogs with the same loving care I provide my own. Pet care would work best for me on some days during the week where I’m available between 7am to 5pm. For weekends my availability will vary. The instructions given for your pets will be followed. If client does not have a fenced yard for dog to play in or to be out in I will walk the dog for as long as needed or wanted by client.
About: Hello I am Emily! I am a great dog-walker, tug a war player and a responsible dog lover! My schedule is very flexible. I live just a block away from a big park. I have had big labradors all my life but I don’t discriminate! I love small and massive dogs alike. When I was younger I started a dog biscuit business and would cater dog parties. I hope you allow me the chance to get to babysit your 4 legged best friend! I am a small business owner and can typically step out of my store whenever your pup needs me. My shop is right downtown st. Joesph Working in clients home is best as my dog is a little to rambunctious at times. I’ve found it to be most comfortable for your pet to be in there own home with all treats, toys and normal comforts.
“Alicia was very good. I have never had somebody walk Gunther before. After meetiing her and hearing her experience with animal, I was confident she would be comfortable with Gunther. I have a 75lb mix 50% Boxer and 50% German Shepherd could be a challenge. I was very pleased with her knowledge and experience. I recommend her at the highest level for her services.”

About: Having grown up with pets, I have a lifelong passion for animal care. From a young age, my siblings and I took on the responsibility of feeding, bathing, walking, playing with, and cleaning up after our pets. This experience taught me the importance of attentive and loving care. Additionally, my neighbors entrusted me with their beloved pets when they’ve gone on vacation. I’ve experience with rabbits, have one currently named Ms Bunny, she is eight. I had a guinea pig, named Master Splinter that lived to be 6. Kept and maintained a fish tank in my mid to late 20’s, contained lots of neon tetra, ghost shrimp, and a dwarf gourami! I have full availability to ensure loving care for your pets! My love for animals motivates me to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Rest assured, your furry friends will be well cared for under my watch. I am happy to care for your pets in their home where they are most comfortable. I love going for walks, playing with toys, and/or lounging around when it’s quiet.
About: I grew up with pugs and treated them like my kids — Bruce, Tobias, and Otto were my world. I’ve cared for senior dogs, playful puppies, and even dogs with special needs. Now living in the U.S. and missing my own pup back in Brazil, I’d love to share all my love and experience with your furry friend. I’ll treat your dog like family — with patience, affection, and lots of belly rubs! I recently moved from Brazil to support my husband’s new job, so I’m currently taking some time off from work. That means I have plenty of time — and love — to give your pup! I’m available in the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings, until the sun sets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every dog as if they were my own — with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I follow routines closely, respect your rules, and create a calm, cozy environment where pets can truly feel at home.
About: I had several dogs when i was in high school. I worked in a dog daycare so I'm used to watching 8 to 17 dogs at once. I also learned about dog behavior so I'm very comfortable around all types of dogs. I'm doing Rover full-time so I will have lots of time to spend giving your best friend all the belly rubs and pets they desire! I have 2 bunnies and a corgi at home and I always make sure they have lots of love and attention and that's what I'll do for your fur baby!
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly love caring for them. I grew up with a Husky/German Shepard mix which gave me early experience with daily pet care, routines, and understanding dog behavior. In my teens, I fostered a total of 12 dogs over the years, caring for a variety of temperaments and needs. This experience helped me become comfortable with dogs of all ages as well as training dogs. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for 2 years, where I worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. This included feeding, walking, cleaning, and helping dogs feel safe and comfortable. In addition, I’ve regularly dog-sat for friends throughout high school and college, providing dependable, loving care. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m currently available on weekends and evenings during the week (7 PM-10 PM). Starting May/June, I’ll have a much more flexible schedule with increased availability! I provide pet care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their usual environment. I follow all care instructions closely, prioritize safety on walks and during visits, and pay close attention to each pet’s needs and behavior. I respect your home, keep things clean and secure, and always provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I grew up on a farm, so I've raised cats and dogs from an early age. I've had to give plenty of kitties and dogs medicines. I love taking dogs for walks! I have 2 golden retrievers and a couple cats at home that I miss dearly so I'd love to take care of your pets! I am working part time & remote currently, so I have a flexible schedule to fit in dog walk or drop in visits for your pets! I have reliable transportation and am easy to get ahold of. I have good communication skills and if I ever have a question or a concern I will reach out!
About: People have a special bond with their pets, and I'm happy to learn those unique dynamics to make your fur-babies more comfortable in your absence. I love playing, walking, or relaxing with dogs and cats - really just doing what makes them happy! Going for drives, to dog parks, or on play dates is something I believe is vital to a happy and healthy dog. I have had many pets of my own and even trained dogs for a few years now on top of my extensive pet sitting experience. Schedules and consistency are key elements when working with animals, so getting to know your animal is very important to me, along with learning the specifics of what owners know their pets need. I am capable of handling medications and some of the more high maintenance or challenging animals. My schedule is very flexible day to day, so your pets will never been alone for more than 6 hours in my care at any given time. You know the best way to keep your pets safe in the times they are left alone or while traveling so I will always follow any instructions you offer to be sure your pet is being cared for responsibly and effectively.

“Hanna and her family made Charlie feel right at home! They accepted his stinky shoe fetish and his desire for hands constantly petting with absolute open arms (his favorite). Her two fur babies welcomed him and left him absolutely exhausted and maybe a little depressed that there’s no one to play with in his own backyard. We will definitely be rebooking again! Thank you!”
“Bradley communicated well, sent many pictures and ensured our pup was well cared for. We appreciated meeting before the drop off for the dogs to get acquainted. We will certainly use Bradley again when visiting St. Joe.”
“Winston loves going to Jenny’s when we are in town. She is amazing and her dog Jonas is so friendly and gentle with Winston they play together so well. Highly recommended Jenny as your dog sitter. Thank you so much ☺️ ❤️”
“Clara is great! Her kennels are so clean. Our Evelyn came home happy and smelling nice!😊. She is an older dog who needs medication and I felt very confident leaving her in Clara’s hands!”
“Leandra did a great job taking care of Millie at my apartment. She was trustworthy and I could tell felt comfortable taking care of a rather anxious, but sweet little dog. I would rebook with her in a heartbeat.”
“We were in a bind when our original sitter got sick right before we had to leave for my son’s wedding, and Stacy came through for us at the very last minute. She was absolutely wonderful with Sophie, so patient and kind. She sent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. We’d definitely love to use her again in the future.”
“Luke and his family were exceptional! He was incredibly flexible with accommodations. We were able to leave Rosie and Loki with him in complete confidence that they would be taken care of, and provided daily photos and updates. I would highly recommend!”
“Our high energy sweetheart can be overstimulated if the people around her don't know how to interact with her, but she did great with Alydia! We were traveling to visit family and we were nervous about leaving our dog with someone new, but we didn't have a thing to worry about! Alydia asked all the right questions and our dog loved being with her. Will definitely book her again when we're in the area. Thanks so much!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs. Either it being within the family or friends. I have experience with all sizes and ages. I have no concern adapting to your dogs unique needs. I work partly remote through the week. Allowing for pee breaks throughout the day. I have weekends open most of the time. It will be no problem to provide a comfortable stay for your pup. I have a fenced yard and safe house in a great neighborhood. I currently have one medium dog full time and my girlfriend has two small dogs here part time.
“I would highly recommend Greta to care for any pets. Our dog loves her, and she has been really flexible when we needed to change dates at the last minute. She is very caring towards dogs and is professional and easy to communicate with.”
“Nicholas was so great at taking care of my dog and walking me through my first time using Rover! He was always easy to get in touch with, and I’ll plan on reaching out to him again when I have to travel without my dog.”
“Debbie watched my dogs for three weeks while I was in the middle of moving out of state. My older dog wasn’t doing well, and my younger dog has tons of energy—I didn’t want to stress either of them with all the commotion of the move. Debbie is such an amazing sitter. She took them for several walks a day around the beautiful lake near her home and along some great neighborhood trails. Freya absolutely loved it there. When Odin started getting sick, she didn’t hesitate to help—she took him to the vet for me and cared for my sweet boy until I was able to pick him up a few days later. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave my fur babies. Thank you so much, Debbie. You are truly amazing. I highly recommend this sitter!”
“My Buddy had such an amazing time with Emily & Ryan and their 2 fur babies! They were so kind and accommodating when I had to bump the time up for our meet and greet. I believe we have found Buddy a new home away from home!!! Thanks again guys you are amazing and I can’t wait to bring him back :).”
About: Hi, I’m Katie! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover, mom of four, and experienced pet caregiver who genuinely believes our pets are part of the family. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I’m attentive to routines, feeding instructions, medications, exercise needs, and all those little quirks that make your pet unique. I have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, and a variety of animals through our own busy little homestead. Whether your pup needs a good walk, some playtime, companionship while you’re away, or simply lots of love and attention, I’m happy to help! My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are safe, cared for, and getting plenty of affection while you’re away. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—and I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you don’t miss them too much! ❤️ I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine! I care for my own dogs, cats, ducks, and chickens every day, so I’m very comfortable with the responsibility and consistency that comes with caring for animals. I’m home full-time for most of the day, with only school drop-offs/pick-ups and occasional errands taking me away. Because of that, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide frequent potty breaks, typically every 1–2 hours, as well as regular check-ins, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I love being home and having animals around, so pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle rather than feeling like just another job. 🐾 I tailor care to each pet’s individual needs, personality, routine, and comfort level. For boarding and doggy daycare in my home, pets become part of our household routine with plenty of attention, supervised play, potty breaks, and downtime. I have a large home and a country setting, so there’s room for pets to be comfortable and enjoy their time here. For dog sitting and walks, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I’m home full-time for the most part, so I’m able to provide frequent care and attention rather than leaving pets alone for long stretches. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll communicate with you throughout their stay or visit and am happy to send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing. 🐾
