“Matt was a very enjoyable person to work with, he accommodated some of our unexpected need for changes, get along extremely well with our dog, and that was apparent when I came to pick her up. We are very pleased with Matt and will certainly work with him again.”
“Emily took great care of my Dobermann for 8 days. She took him on walks every day and he was able to socialize with her dogs and kids. She was very attentive with his feeding and diet concerns and sent me daily pictures. He seemed very happy in her care.”
“Colby had a great stay at your house! She can be skiddish, but not this time. She ate, took over your chair and had fun exploring the fenced in yard. Thank you so much for treating her like family!”
“Sabrina was great with our puppy, Winston. It was our first time boarding any of our pets but she eased our minds with a lot of updates and photos/videos. He seemed to have loved his time there and playing with other furry friends.”
“Susan was a great sitter for our boy Loki!! Sent us updates and the atmosphere at her home helped Loki on his first stay away from his home. Will use her services again!!! Highly recommend!!!!”
“Edward was awesome according to Rocky! LOL. Seriously though, it was a smooth process to meet & greet Ed and then to have him take care of our "baby". As first time users of Rover.com, our reluctance to get a sitter was over after talking to Ed. He was very accommodating in answering any questions we had. Ed was very friendly and nice to us and Rocky. His fenced backyard also added to our comfort in knowing Rocky would be safe! Definitely a Keeper!!”
“This was our second time using Mariah & Max and they were once again awesome! Super communicative, pictures sent daily, and our dogs came home tired and smiling! We highly recommend using Mariah & Max.”
“I am SO HAPPY we found Larissa! She is sweet, easy to talk with, and most importantly, amazing with Carini! She loved staying with her for a week. Larissa sent me updates and pictures every day and I could tell how great of a time my girl was having. Safe to say, we'll be doing some daycare days in the future so she can see them again ??”
“We had our pet sitter cancel last minute. My husband discovered Rover.com and found Christina. We were so excited that she was in our neighborhood and had great reviews. I felt comfortable when I met her and the drop off process was easy. She stayed in communication the 3 days, sent pictures and updates. We will definitely be using her services in the future and will recommend her to everyone we know.”
“Jaimee took great care of Fuji! I booked with her for one night super last minute so I was grateful she was able to fit me in. Jaimee was also very flexible with my drop off and pick up time. She sent me an appropriate amount of pictures of Fuji. Fuji was very happy when I brought her home and seemed to have had a great time! Would definitely recommend and book again. Thank you, Jaimee!”
“Amy and Mia are great. Both were wonderful hosts for our dog Ellie. She loved her time with them. Amy was very accommodating to Meet & Greet with us on short notice and made us feel at ease. Amy is very personable and we enjoyed talking with her. Ellie felt like she was HOME away from home and got to hang with another furry friend. What fun!! Ellie was walked and well taken care of during her stay. We received updates and photos. We were blessed to have found such a caring sitter for Ellie. Thank you.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have three dogs, all of whom I brought home at eight weeks old and personally raised and trained. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s a lifelong passion. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, from Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls to Alaskan Malamutes and everything in between. Over the years, I have provided pet care for neighbors, friends, colleagues, and clients, and I understand the importance of treating every dog with patience, kindness, and individualized care. While working as a home health care aide, I was often entrusted with caring for my clients’ pets, ensuring they were fed, exercised, and comfortable while their owners received care. I also volunteered as a dog walker with the Humane Society of West Michigan, where I gained experience working with dogs of varying personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding plans and dietary restrictions, and adapting to each dog’s unique routine. I am also certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR, giving pet owners added peace of mind that their companions are in capable hands. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, or simply spending time with someone who genuinely loves dogs, I am committed to providing safe, dependable, and compassionate care while you’re away. As a devoted dog owner of three, caring for animals is an integral part of my daily life, and I extend that same level of attention, responsibility, and affection to every pet in my care. I am fully comfortable handling all aspects of daily dog care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, enrichment, and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to be home for most of the day throughout the week, as well as on weekends, providing consistent supervision and companionship. I also have the option to work from home when additional attention or frequent potty breaks are needed. In my household, pets are rarely left alone for extended periods. On typical days when I am away from home, my dogs are alone no longer than 5–6 hours. In many cases, my boyfriend may be home when I am not, and when both of us are working, we are generally away for no more than 4–5 hours at a time. If both of us are expected to be away for longer than two hours during a pet’s care period, I communicate this in advance to ensure transparency and appropriate planning. I maintain a consistent but flexible routine that prioritizes feeding, hydration, exercise, and enrichment. Dogs always have access to fresh water and are fed twice daily (or as often as your individual dog requires). Potty breaks are provided frequently based on each dog’s individual needs and cues; however, I am more than willing to follow a more structured schedule if that is what your pet is accustomed to. I am also experienced with administering medications, including monthly heartworm and flea prevention, and take great care to ensure all medications are given accurately and on time. While my household follows a generally relaxed routine, I understand that many pets thrive on structure. I am fully comfortable adhering to detailed instructions and incorporating established routines into my daily care. During the days I am available according to my Rover schedule, I am home for the majority of the day. Any brief absences are typically limited to short appointments, during which my boyfriend may assist with supervision, or pets will be safely confined if appropriate. Above all, I prioritize safety, supervision, and communication. Your pet will never be left without attentive care. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure consistent supervision, engagement, and affection so that every animal feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their time with me. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I share my home with three friendly dogs, each with their own unique personality: an energetic and affectionate Boston Terrier, a more reserved but sweet Boston Terrier, and a laid-back Chihuahua who enjoys staying close by. They are well-socialized and can provide companionship for visiting dogs when appropriate. My home is set up to accommodate a variety of needs and routines. I have three individual crates with comfortable bedding available for dogs who are crate trained or require confinement, and you are always welcome to bring your own crate if it helps your pet feel more at home. While my own dogs enjoy free access to the house and are allowed on the furniture, I am happy to follow your pet’s established rules and routines, including using gates or designated areas if needed. Although my yard is not physically fenced, safety is always a top priority. My dogs are never outdoors unsupervised, and the same standard of care applies to every pet I watch. I have a large, open yard that provides plenty of space for exercise, and I regularly walk dogs on a leash around the property and in the neighborhood. If your dog is most comfortable on a leash or tie-out while outside, I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences. All of my dogs are current on their vaccinations and receive routine veterinary care. I pay close attention to changes in their health, behavior, and overall well-being, and I bring that same level of attentiveness to every pet in my care. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat both your home and your companion with the utmost respect. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, training, household rules, and daily routines to ensure your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you are away. At bedtime, I am happy to follow whatever sleeping arrangement your pet is accustomed to, whether that means sleeping in a crate, on their own bed, or sharing a room with me. My goal is to maintain their normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable. My boyfriend and I live together, but I will be your pet’s primary caregiver. He may occasionally assist if I need to step away briefly, providing additional supervision and support, but all communication and primary care responsibilities remain with me. For added peace of mind, I am certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR. You can trust that your pet will receive attentive, compassionate, and responsible care throughout their stay.
“Misty was just great with our dogs. She has a great location for allowing them outdoor time. Whatever your dogs require, Misty will try to accommodate you. Our dogs enjoyed their stay and my husband and I were both very pleased she treated them so well.”
About: People’s pets are family, and they should be taken care of accordingly! I’ll give updates during each service so you know your pet is taken care of properly. Drop ins - I’ll sit and play with your animal for the allotted time to make sure they aren’t lonely all day, because who likes that? Will send an update with a picture if you’d like. Walking - will walk down any trail that is close by, take the scenic route. If roads can be avoided they will be. No animals should be near roads as it could be dangerous. Will send pictures with updates of how much your pet is loving their walk. Sitting/Boarding - Finding a pet sitter is stressful, I am here to make it easy. If you would like to board your pet with me I would more than happy to take care of them. We have a dog ourselves and he is the sweetest! Will take special requests as well during the services! I’ll love your pet while you are away. I do work full time in an office 9-5pm. Allowing for plenty of time after work or on the weekends to spend with your pet. We live on a farm with plenty of space for your pet to play and explore under our supervision. We have 2 other dogs that get along great with other dogs and will keep your pet company!
“Taylor was fantastic. Our little princess was well cared for, and we enjoyed the photos that were sent to us each day. This was the longest we were away from our pooch and Taylor made us feel like our girl was at summer camp living her best life. 💙”

“We had Taylor come in for several drop in visits to care for our cat while we were gone for a long weekend. She made sure he was fed and litter box cleaned. She always sent pictures of him, which was really awesome! Her communication is great and fast! I would highly recommend Taylor!”
“Lane took extra good care of my 2 cats over the weekend! She even made an additional, unscheduled visit when I saw them on camera playing with a garter snake. I highly recommend Lane!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, dependable, and understand that every pet has a different personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I adapt to their needs to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow detailed instructions, administer oral medications if needed, and provide regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a flexible schedule. I am a full-time student, with all of my classes in the mornings, so I have availability in the afternoons and evenings. I am also completely free from Thursday after 11 a.m. through Sunday, allowing me plenty of time to provide attentive and reliable care for pets. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe and sticking to their usual routine so there’s as little stress as possible while their owner is away. I spend time with them, make sure they’re fed on schedule, get their walks or litter box cleaned, and get plenty of attention and playtime. I also treat the home with respect and keep everything clean and organized. I love sending updates and pictures so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and cared for.
“Cher is amazing. We’ve booked her twice now. She goes above and beyond and provides updates. Our travel plans changed quite a bit due to weather and she was flexible and easy to work with. I never like leaving our cat when we travel, but it makes it easier knowing she is in good hands.”
About: I grew up in a dog oriented family and dog sit regularly. I love all dogs and enjoy spending my time with them. Going for walks, playing fetch or just snuggling. I currently work full time but I do work from home and have my evenings and weekends free. I can also work in other locations if needed. My own pets are well taken care of and loved.

“Heather was excellent and took care of our dog and cats while we were out of state for 10 days. She set up a meet and greet with us before hand and then stopped over to meet the pets and learn how to take care of them. She was great at communicating and sent us updates and photos each visit. We will absolutely contact Heather again when we need a pet sitter. Thank you Heather!”
“Very responsive to our requests and leaves great notes about how our furbabies behaved and acted during his check-ins. We always know our girls will be in good hands!”
About: I've been caring for friends' and family's pets since high school, and I truly love every kind of animal. Whether it's a tiny pup or a giant breed, I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from playful puppies who need to burn off energy to seniors who need a slower pace and extra patience. Pets aren't just animals to me. They're family, and I treat them like my own. I'm back and taking new clients! I work part-time and remotely, so my schedule is flexible for dog walks and drop-in visits during mornings, afternoons, and weekends. Whether you need a regular midday walk or a few check-ins while you're out, I can be consistent and reliable so your pet's routine stays on track. All my visits happen at your home, so your pet stays comfortable in their familiar space. I follow your instructions exactly, from feeding schedules and medications to potty breaks and walking routes. I always double-check that doors and gates are locked before I leave, and I'll send photo updates after every visit so you know your pet is safe and happy. On walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay alert around other dogs, traffic, and wildlife.
“April did a wonderful job watching our 2 cats. Our home was left exactly as we left it and my cats were both very happy. She also sent several photos after each daily check-in, which was a wonderful addition to the visits.”
“Alana was right on time for multiple visits to care for and check on my big Akita/husky pup. She sent pictures of him playing on each visit and sent me texts updating me on his status. Couldn't ask for better!”
About: You need someone to take care of your pet with the care and attention that you use to care for them. I am happy to help. I have been around dogs and animals my whole life. I recently lost my lab of 15 years. She was a very busy puppy so I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. Please let me support your pet so you can have peace of mind.

“Jeanne’s doggy day care was absolutely fantastic! Traveling up north and had to stop for something in Mt Pleasant so needed a dog sitter for a few hours and boy, do I wish we could stop by more often! I was nervous since I hadn’t met her before but she was so sweet and thoughtful and sent me pictures and updates on my puppy the whole time! I felt safe and secure leaving my pup there for the first time! Highly recommend!!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have experience training large breed rescues for service and emotional support. I’ve had two senior rescues as part of our family. I work part time from home so I have plenty of time and attention to give your fur babies! I’m available for boarding daily and overnights. I care for pets the same way I care for my own—lots of love, gentle structure, and a cozy home environment. Dogs can relax, play, explore the yard, enjoy snuggles, and follow their normal routines. I’m home often, so your pet gets attention and supervision throughout the day.
“I was so worried about leaving my boy all day he is a bit of a mommas boy. Emily kept my updated through out the day. She also reassured me and my anxiety about leaving him. Wyatt definitely came home happy and that is all I can ask for.”
“Edward was perfect for our energetic dog! He was very professional and makes sure that all the dogs that stay with him are up to date on their vaccinations, which made me feel better knowing that Ollie would be around other dogs! I would highly recommend!”

About: I have pet care experience of all kinds including breeding and stud service, shots and weening. We have a large open floor plan with a 4 stall garage to roam. Price will vary if dog is not fully potty trained or in heat during their stay. I am a stay at home entrepreneur allowing me to be present with pets while they are here. I am also a groomer! My husband and I believe this is a great opportunity to be able to love on all kinds of different breeds as our own and a fun way to take care of some of the most precious pets. That being said i will only accept crate trained dogs(for their safety) they need to be able to be crated safely while we are away for a short or longer amount of time. There are no cats or dogs here (unless confirmed by you that its okay to board at the same time as another families pet) so you won't have to worry about your pet getting along with anyone else while they are here. Be sure to check your collars and leashes of any wear and tears before dropping them off💛 tell me about your dog and we will see if it will be a good fit🧡
“Britny was great with my puppy. It was my first time ever trying Rover or even having a dog sitter in general but I’m glad I did. Britny was flexible with my schedule and was fast with responses. She kept me updated by sending pictures and videos of my pup while I was out. I would definitely recommend her watching your dog for all your dog sitting needs! :)”
“My girl Kona absolutely loved Holly! Holly gave her all sorts of opportunities to play and explore, and gave Kona lots of attention. I could tell that she gave Kona the same care and attention that I would. I highly recommend letting your puppies stay with Holly!”

About: Denim Sheperd Dog Care is looking to provide you with excellent dog services at an affordable price. With a huge backyard for running and indoor dog spaces for play, your dog is guaranteed to have a great time! We are a house of dog lovers plus 3 pups of our own, with 2 cousin pups staying with us! Our pack leader Austin has been an amateur mush dog trainer for two years with plans to compete in 2026. He is great with dogs of all sizes and has a heart for all breeds. What got him into dog training for others was E-collar training 2 of our dogs himself after having our husky trained professionally. This gave us the freedom to adventure with our pups the way we longed to. We have been doing basic grooming for our labradoodle for 3 years, nail trimming all of our dogs' nails for 5 years, and bathing them for nearly 7 so your dogs will be in loving hands if they are in need of some pampering! I'm currently a full-time at home parent and dog dad. My schedule is flexible with advance notice, but for our daily schedule I do biking with my husky, playtime in the back yard, and the pups nap or have hangout time in the dog den! I have a garage for grooming and introductions, then two gates used to separate the dog areas from the rest of the house. Within the dog area is a finished basement and den if dogs need to be separated. At this time, I have 2 crates of different sizes for use if needed or desired. The backyard is fully fenced and great for runners to get out excess energy.
About: I have decades of experience living and working with dogs and cats. I also have animal training experience. I enjoy meeting new animals and their people.

About: I am not your typical pet-sitter. I have spent my entire life caring for all types of animals. My first job was at a pet store learning the skills of working with animals and their people. After college I worked as a zookeeper where I cared for everything from mealworms all the way to rhinos. Specialized care was the name of the game there and I was able to recognize the smallest details on how to improve my work with exotics. Then I was led into the world of shelter work. Where I studied pet behavior and early signs of stress and how enrichment can help save lives. Many animals coming into the shelter would need some form of medication as well. I have a skillset of administering medications and making sure the animals actually receive their meds. Lastly, I was a dog training apprentice. I was able to form bonds with dogs that most people wouldn't come near. I can read body language well and know how to show dogs respect. I aim to be your go-to pet-sitter where you can actually enjoy your trip. I will make your pet my priority. I have an excellent ability to find balance in my schedule. You can trust that your pet is cared for how you want them to be. I have quite a few pets in my home and all are well cared for. I will offer the same care to the animals you care for. I will ask for detailed instructions and follow your schedule as closely as I can.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets . “I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m available for dog walks throughout the day and can provide overnight pet sitting when needed. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship.” “I have one friendly dog of my own and understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I provide attentive, loving care and will follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority.”
“Taylor was amazing! Yesterday was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous about my pup being home alone... Taylor called me at work (per my request) so that I could go over how to get into my house, etc. and she calmed my nerves too :) when she got there, he had tore up his mattress pad in his kennel- she cleaned it up so that he couldn’t eat it. She then walked him, took pictures for me and played with him enough to tire him out for a bit. She was so good with him anc it was so appreciated! ❤️❤️”
“Shawna. I can’t thank you enough for your energy, confidence and overall amazing personality! Thanks for helping me out in a bind, being flexible, and so understanding of my dear yet anxious pup. Appreciate you and would definitely hire again!”

“Matt was a very enjoyable person to work with, he accommodated some of our unexpected need for changes, get along extremely well with our dog, and that was apparent when I came to pick her up. We are very pleased with Matt and will certainly work with him again.”
“Emily took great care of my Dobermann for 8 days. She took him on walks every day and he was able to socialize with her dogs and kids. She was very attentive with his feeding and diet concerns and sent me daily pictures. He seemed very happy in her care.”
“Colby had a great stay at your house! She can be skiddish, but not this time. She ate, took over your chair and had fun exploring the fenced in yard. Thank you so much for treating her like family!”
“Sabrina was great with our puppy, Winston. It was our first time boarding any of our pets but she eased our minds with a lot of updates and photos/videos. He seemed to have loved his time there and playing with other furry friends.”
“Edward was awesome according to Rocky! LOL. Seriously though, it was a smooth process to meet & greet Ed and then to have him take care of our "baby". As first time users of Rover.com, our reluctance to get a sitter was over after talking to Ed. He was very accommodating in answering any questions we had. Ed was very friendly and nice to us and Rocky. His fenced backyard also added to our comfort in knowing Rocky would be safe! Definitely a Keeper!!”
“This was our second time using Mariah & Max and they were once again awesome! Super communicative, pictures sent daily, and our dogs came home tired and smiling! We highly recommend using Mariah & Max.”
“I am SO HAPPY we found Larissa! She is sweet, easy to talk with, and most importantly, amazing with Carini! She loved staying with her for a week. Larissa sent me updates and pictures every day and I could tell how great of a time my girl was having. Safe to say, we'll be doing some daycare days in the future so she can see them again ??”
“We had our pet sitter cancel last minute. My husband discovered Rover.com and found Christina. We were so excited that she was in our neighborhood and had great reviews. I felt comfortable when I met her and the drop off process was easy. She stayed in communication the 3 days, sent pictures and updates. We will definitely be using her services in the future and will recommend her to everyone we know.”
“Jaimee took great care of Fuji! I booked with her for one night super last minute so I was grateful she was able to fit me in. Jaimee was also very flexible with my drop off and pick up time. She sent me an appropriate amount of pictures of Fuji. Fuji was very happy when I brought her home and seemed to have had a great time! Would definitely recommend and book again. Thank you, Jaimee!”
“Amy and Mia are great. Both were wonderful hosts for our dog Ellie. She loved her time with them. Amy was very accommodating to Meet & Greet with us on short notice and made us feel at ease. Amy is very personable and we enjoyed talking with her. Ellie felt like she was HOME away from home and got to hang with another furry friend. What fun!! Ellie was walked and well taken care of during her stay. We received updates and photos. We were blessed to have found such a caring sitter for Ellie. Thank you.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have three dogs, all of whom I brought home at eight weeks old and personally raised and trained. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s a lifelong passion. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, from Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls to Alaskan Malamutes and everything in between. Over the years, I have provided pet care for neighbors, friends, colleagues, and clients, and I understand the importance of treating every dog with patience, kindness, and individualized care. While working as a home health care aide, I was often entrusted with caring for my clients’ pets, ensuring they were fed, exercised, and comfortable while their owners received care. I also volunteered as a dog walker with the Humane Society of West Michigan, where I gained experience working with dogs of varying personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding plans and dietary restrictions, and adapting to each dog’s unique routine. I am also certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR, giving pet owners added peace of mind that their companions are in capable hands. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, or simply spending time with someone who genuinely loves dogs, I am committed to providing safe, dependable, and compassionate care while you’re away. As a devoted dog owner of three, caring for animals is an integral part of my daily life, and I extend that same level of attention, responsibility, and affection to every pet in my care. I am fully comfortable handling all aspects of daily dog care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, enrichment, and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to be home for most of the day throughout the week, as well as on weekends, providing consistent supervision and companionship. I also have the option to work from home when additional attention or frequent potty breaks are needed. In my household, pets are rarely left alone for extended periods. On typical days when I am away from home, my dogs are alone no longer than 5–6 hours. In many cases, my boyfriend may be home when I am not, and when both of us are working, we are generally away for no more than 4–5 hours at a time. If both of us are expected to be away for longer than two hours during a pet’s care period, I communicate this in advance to ensure transparency and appropriate planning. I maintain a consistent but flexible routine that prioritizes feeding, hydration, exercise, and enrichment. Dogs always have access to fresh water and are fed twice daily (or as often as your individual dog requires). Potty breaks are provided frequently based on each dog’s individual needs and cues; however, I am more than willing to follow a more structured schedule if that is what your pet is accustomed to. I am also experienced with administering medications, including monthly heartworm and flea prevention, and take great care to ensure all medications are given accurately and on time. While my household follows a generally relaxed routine, I understand that many pets thrive on structure. I am fully comfortable adhering to detailed instructions and incorporating established routines into my daily care. During the days I am available according to my Rover schedule, I am home for the majority of the day. Any brief absences are typically limited to short appointments, during which my boyfriend may assist with supervision, or pets will be safely confined if appropriate. Above all, I prioritize safety, supervision, and communication. Your pet will never be left without attentive care. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure consistent supervision, engagement, and affection so that every animal feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their time with me. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I share my home with three friendly dogs, each with their own unique personality: an energetic and affectionate Boston Terrier, a more reserved but sweet Boston Terrier, and a laid-back Chihuahua who enjoys staying close by. They are well-socialized and can provide companionship for visiting dogs when appropriate. My home is set up to accommodate a variety of needs and routines. I have three individual crates with comfortable bedding available for dogs who are crate trained or require confinement, and you are always welcome to bring your own crate if it helps your pet feel more at home. While my own dogs enjoy free access to the house and are allowed on the furniture, I am happy to follow your pet’s established rules and routines, including using gates or designated areas if needed. Although my yard is not physically fenced, safety is always a top priority. My dogs are never outdoors unsupervised, and the same standard of care applies to every pet I watch. I have a large, open yard that provides plenty of space for exercise, and I regularly walk dogs on a leash around the property and in the neighborhood. If your dog is most comfortable on a leash or tie-out while outside, I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences. All of my dogs are current on their vaccinations and receive routine veterinary care. I pay close attention to changes in their health, behavior, and overall well-being, and I bring that same level of attentiveness to every pet in my care. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat both your home and your companion with the utmost respect. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, training, household rules, and daily routines to ensure your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you are away. At bedtime, I am happy to follow whatever sleeping arrangement your pet is accustomed to, whether that means sleeping in a crate, on their own bed, or sharing a room with me. My goal is to maintain their normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable. My boyfriend and I live together, but I will be your pet’s primary caregiver. He may occasionally assist if I need to step away briefly, providing additional supervision and support, but all communication and primary care responsibilities remain with me. For added peace of mind, I am certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR. You can trust that your pet will receive attentive, compassionate, and responsible care throughout their stay.
“Misty was just great with our dogs. She has a great location for allowing them outdoor time. Whatever your dogs require, Misty will try to accommodate you. Our dogs enjoyed their stay and my husband and I were both very pleased she treated them so well.”
About: People’s pets are family, and they should be taken care of accordingly! I’ll give updates during each service so you know your pet is taken care of properly. Drop ins - I’ll sit and play with your animal for the allotted time to make sure they aren’t lonely all day, because who likes that? Will send an update with a picture if you’d like. Walking - will walk down any trail that is close by, take the scenic route. If roads can be avoided they will be. No animals should be near roads as it could be dangerous. Will send pictures with updates of how much your pet is loving their walk. Sitting/Boarding - Finding a pet sitter is stressful, I am here to make it easy. If you would like to board your pet with me I would more than happy to take care of them. We have a dog ourselves and he is the sweetest! Will take special requests as well during the services!

About: Denim Sheperd Dog Care is looking to provide you with excellent dog services at an affordable price. With a huge backyard for running and indoor dog spaces for play, your dog is guaranteed to have a great time! We are a house of dog lovers plus 3 pups of our own, with 2 cousin pups staying with us! Our pack leader Austin has been an amateur mush dog trainer for two years with plans to compete in 2026. He is great with dogs of all sizes and has a heart for all breeds. What got him into dog training for others was E-collar training 2 of our dogs himself after having our husky trained professionally. This gave us the freedom to adventure with our pups the way we longed to. We have been doing basic grooming for our labradoodle for 3 years, nail trimming all of our dogs' nails for 5 years, and bathing them for nearly 7 so your dogs will be in loving hands if they are in need of some pampering! I'm currently a full-time at home parent and dog dad. My schedule is flexible with advance notice, but for our daily schedule I do biking with my husky, playtime in the back yard, and the pups nap or have hangout time in the dog den! I have a garage for grooming and introductions, then two gates used to separate the dog areas from the rest of the house. Within the dog area is a finished basement and den if dogs need to be separated. At this time, I have 2 crates of different sizes for use if needed or desired. The backyard is fully fenced and great for runners to get out excess energy.
