“Allan is great, very communicative and kind. I never worried about my dog Penny the entire weekend and was able to enjoy myself. Definitely would recommend Allan, and I will be a repeat customer.”
“Jayden and his wife Lisa are amazing dog sitters. I left my dog Buddy with them over two weeks while flying outside of the country. They we're very flexible and attentive to all of my requests, and promptly communicated any changes with him while in their care. Buddy and their dog Redford became fast friends and Buddy quite clearly loved spending time with their kids, making a bed out of their trampoline. It was so nice to get updates and see just how much fun they had with him. Buddy says hi and thanks again!”
“Zuri is amazing! Our dogs, Luca and Loki, had so much fun at Zuri’s house and they were so well taken care of that we couldn’t be happier. We’ll definitely use Zuri’s services again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Ashley and her family were the best! It was a last minute decision and she accommodated my two fur babies with no issues. They can look intimidating and people aren’t always comfortable but Ashley was unfazed. I appreciated her warmth, her communication and her love for my animals. We will definitely be using her whenever we come back “home”.”
“She watched my two dogs while I went Out of the country. She did a great job keeping me updated and sending photos. My dogs were very well taken care of and happy when I saw Them. She’s someone I trust with my dogs and would use her again :)”
“Jennifer has been very professional and on the top of everything, including keeping me updated with pictures and sending me timely text updates. Her diligence and communication has been excellent.”
“Mary and Skip are wonderful and caring dog sitters! Jojo loves spending time with them. They give her so much love and attention. We always feel confident that she is well taken care of.”
“Cindie did an amazing job taking care of Hala, and loving on her like her own! I appreciated every step of the process, and felt very comfortable leaving my senior dog in her care.”
“They did Fantastic with my buddy. I'm sure that you will be very pleased, with their services. I would like to thank them again, for taking great care of him.”
“First time using Rover. Mina sent regular photos to let us know how our dog was doing while we were away which was super helpful. Thanks so much for taking good care of her!”
“Logan and Ellie are amazing people. We left our dogs with them and couldn’t be happier. They took such great care of them and kept us updated the whole time, sending us photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We will definitely book with them again.”
“Our dog Daisy had a great stay. We were sent photos and up dates periodically through out each day. She always looked happy, playing, eating or resting. She came home happy and healthy. We would absolutely recommend and book again!”
“Sandy was great! My pup wasn’t feeling the best and Sandy did everything she could to make her comfortable. She really treated my girl the same way I would and I can always appreciate that. She was also great with sending pictures and communicating. Will for sure return to her.”
“I can't recommend Paige enough as a dog watcher! She took exceptional care of my two dogs for a week, and I could tell they were in great hands from the moment I met her. She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and loving, which gave me peace of mind during my time away. She kept me updated with daily photos and texts, showing me how my dogs were doing and even sharing some funny moments. She took the time to learn their routines, ensuring they felt comfortable and at ease. Both dogs were happy and healthy when I returned, and it was clear they had enjoyed their time with her.”
“Maria and Augustine are wonderful! They are incredibly friendly, highly responsible, and took amazing care of my dog. I had complete peace of mind knowing my pup was in such safe and caring hands. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!"”
“Barb and her family went above and beyond to make sure my pup felt at home, and she sent daily photo updates. Communication was excellent and timely. I will definitely be requesting Barb again next time we leave town.”
“Oreo loved Birdie, and I can tell she loved him back! She sent me a lot of pictures and I could tell my Oreo was loving her always cuddling and playing with her. We are definitely coming back to Birdie. It was the first time we ever left Oreo with anyone outside family and he did great.”
About: I care for dogs by keeping them on a consistent routine and paying close attention to their individual needs. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, exercise, and safe, supervised play time. I follow feeding instructions exactly, keep water fresh, and maintain clean food and water bowls. I also watch for behavior or appetite changes and communicate anything important right away. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, and I take time to build trust so dogs feel comfortable and secure. Whether a dog is high-energy or laid-back, I adjust my approach to match their personality. As an active duty Army service member and lifelong dog owner since age 15, I bring reliability, structure, and genuine care to every pet I look after. I work Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, and my job is only about 15 minutes from my apartment, so I can return home quickly if needed. My spouse works from home, so pets in my care are supervised 24/7. I’m an Active Guard/Reserve service member and typically work one weekend per month — I plan all pet care commitments around that schedule. I’m up daily at 4:30 AM and keep a very structured routine, so feeding times, walks, potty breaks, and exercise schedules are followed consistently. I also have a home camera system to monitor pets throughout the day. On most weekends, I spend the day out and active with my own dog, so pets in my care get plenty of attention and exercise. You may notice my rates are on the lower end. that’s by design! I keep my prices affordable and let my work speak for itself. If you feel I went above and beyond, a tip is how I know I nailed it. No pressure at all, but it means the world when people show their appreciation that way. I’m committed to giving your pet the best care possible regardless! I provide a safe, structured, and supervised home environment where dogs are treated like family. Pets in my care are allowed to comfortably roam the home and are not kept in a crate all day. I have an American Bully in the home who is friendly and fully up to date on all vaccinations. All dogs are kept on leash during outdoor time for safety. I keep the home clean, remove hazards, and maintain fresh water and feeding areas daily. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and behavior guidelines. I also use a home camera system to monitor pets when I step out. While I don’t normally crate dogs, I can crate your pet if needed or if that is your preference.

“She took great care of our 3 cats, following their specific care instructions well and even giving one of my cats medication twice a day without difficulty. She gave great updates and photos throughout our absence. Highly recommend her!”
“Victoria did an excellent job of watching over our cat, Chloe. Everything was done exactly the way we asked and everything was very clean. Thank you so much! We will remember you for the future.”
About: Hi! My name is Jayden and my wife Lisa and I are excited to care for your pup like they’re part of our family. Lisa works from home and I work a hybrid schedule, so there will almost always be someone home with your dog to give them attention, supervision, and plenty of love throughout the day. We also have 2-year-old twins who absolutely love dogs and are used to being around them. We always make sure interactions are gentle, safe, and fun for everyone. We have a 1-year-old King Charles Spaniel named Redford who is very friendly and loves having other dogs around to play with. While we don’t have a fenced-in yard, we live in a great neighborhood that’s perfect for walks. Your pup will get at least two long walks every day, plus as many potty breaks as they need. We love getting outside and making sure dogs get plenty of exercise and stimulation. Our goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while they’re with us! I am completely free on the weekends. Happy to do drop in visits or walks. I am also free during the evenings and during lunch hours on Wednesday and Friday. Let me know what schedule will work well for your pet. I will treat your pets like they are my own. I will make sure to give them the love and attention that they need and carefully look over your instructions to make sure they are properly cared for.
“Diana did amazing with Paisley while I was gone on my trip for a week. This was my first time using rover and she exceeded my expectations! She sent daily updates and pictures and you can tell she really loves & cares for animals. She made it a point to meet my cat before and get to know her. I will definitely be booking again!”
“Margaret did a fantastic job with our kitties while we were away. She visited before our trip to get to know the cats and their routine. While we were away she kept us updated after every visit with sweet photos and news on how they were doing. The kitties seemed calm and happy upon our return. We'll definitely be using Margaret again if the need arises and would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life—I’ve never been without one since the day I was born. From training my own puppy to providing gentle care for senior dogs, I understand the needs of dogs at every stage. My own dog is now older, blind, and has special medical needs, so I know how important patience and attentive care are. Whether your dog enjoys a leisurely stroll, a brisk walk, or an even a run/walk for extra exercise, I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for every step of the way. I’m happy to walk dogs in any weather as long as it’s safe for them (and me)! I work part-time from home and would love to start my mornings or end my work day with your dog! Whether they need a relaxed walk, a little extra exercise, or some gentle care, I’ll make sure they’re happy and well cared for. I have a fenced yard and two young kids that would love to throw or kick a ball for your fur baby. I also have a friendly, old hound dog that would love to meet your dog!
“Raegan went above and beyond while caring for my two cats! Great communication, lots of updates and pictures daily! I never had to worry while on my vacation because she kept me in the loop the entire time. You did such a great job Raegan, thank you so much! I will definitely be getting ahold of you again in the future! 🥰”
About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician at a shelter I used to volunteer for, and have had my own dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve recently gone part-time and would enjoy walking your pets or stopping in for those needed potty breaks. I used to walk dogs for the shelter I now work at. I also foster animals for them, most dogs and puppies. I work at the shelter Thursdays and Fridays. I am available other days of the week on a part-time basis. I don’t have preferred days in mind at this time. I will certainly follow all instructions provided and will treat your pet as my own while in my care. I will respect and properly care for your home environment.
“Hannah was wonderful with our kitty while we were away, Thomas really enjoyed her company which isn't always a given, and I appreciated the extra care when a painting fell and by taking care of our fish tanks too! Top notch sitter and will absolutely book again in the future.”
About: I genuinely love cats and understand that every cat has a different personality. Whether your cat is social or more independent, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them most comfortable. I can help with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, medications if needed, and keeping them company while you’re away 🐱
About: Honest, enthusiastic, and responsible individual. I am an NAVTA approved veterinary assistant whom also works at a day practice. I have a passion for animals and strive to help others. I’m currently working a full time job at a veterinary day practice. Usually afternoon (12:00pm), is when my shift begins. This will give plenty of time to have positive interactions with your furry friend. I understand having someone else care for your animal can be very concerning and stressful. Thankfully, I have the knowledge that others may not have. From medical to behavioral, the NAVTA (North America Veterinary Technician Association) has given me knowledge, as well as my veterinary day practice job, to complete the tasks at hand.
About: I grew up with a pet cat and she lived to be 19! Now I have a ragdoll cat named stevie who loves treats and cuddles. Basically, I have always had a cat and love them just as much as dogs!
“Brooke did a wonderful job with our 2 cats! They both loved her and we all know cats are hard to please :). She spent a full 30 minutes with them each day and sent lots of good pics! We plan to use Brooke again in the future!”

“It was the first time we’d left our little one with a dog sitter, and we were a little worried because ever since we adopted her, she’s always been very shy and tends to be afraid of strangers, but Jenifer was amazing with Hazel. She was extremely friendly and kept us updated on our little ball of fur, making her feel like she was part of a second family. My husband and I are very happy—we’ll definitely be back.”
About: Hello! My name is John’Asia. As you may see by viewing my photos, I have a huge heart for fur babies. It all started when I volunteered at a local animal shelter in my hometown. I fell in love with the idea of taking care of the pups/kittens there. That’s when I decided to start my own business in the pet care industry! This is not just a business this is my passion/dream job! I do not have any pets of my own, therefore I treat all of the furbabies as my very own under my care. I am here to provide you the best service for your family member. I am trustworthy, energetic, reliable and prompt. I am very excited to meet everyone’s pets! I am really hoping to attract repeat and long term fur besties. Also, I will require a meet and greet with me. Thank you! I am a full time pet care provider. My schedule is open from 9AM - 8PM Monday - Saturday for walks & visits. 24hrs/7days a week for housesitting & boarding. Don’t worry, your fur baby is in great hands. I will be sure to send you daily photos of your fur baby for your comfort. Drop Ins & Walks: I love the excitement of fur babies when I come in because they know it’s play/snack time when they see me lol! Also, if you need me to feed or clean up a possible accident, that’s not a problem! Boarding: I treat all pups as my own while under my care. Your pup will go everywhere (Bike Rides, dog park, summer events, trails, etc.) with me except other homes I service! Your pup will feel like he/she is on vacation as well!! Did you see the new play area & boarding area I created. Check out my photos!!!!!! Lol they will have a great time & it will show in the daily pictures! **Disclaminer the back yard park & playhouse are no longer effective due to me moving into an apartment** Housesitting: Same as boarding but in the comfort of their home! Your pup will go everywhere (dog park, dog events, trails, etc.) with me except other homes I service! & Ofcourse they can sleep in the bed with me!! Lol Bike Rides: If you would like to book a bike ride, please request through walk or visit! -Best Pawjama Pawties In Town!!
“Celene is legitimately the best dog sitter you could ask for. She not only is an early riser but is a night owl. Celene sends updates and ask questions without even being asked. She not only puts effort in towards jaxsons training she has even went out of her way to teach us on how we could be doing different/better. Celene also makes sure that jaxson gets the proper food/water/bathroom breaks as he needs. He doesn't come back hungry, needing to potty, or beat up. Penny, celenes dog, is hands down the cutest little thing I've ever seen. When I get there she is happy to greet me at the door with kisses and tail wags. Jaxson also loves penny and always comes back PROPERLY wore out. My final thoughts are if I could had another grandma I would ask her. Shes been there for us EVERY time we've need her and that's at the end of the day all I could ask.”
“He did a phenomenal job! I booked last minute and he was very accommodating. He brought Dakota into his home with Kya and Roo, and made him feel very welcome.”

“Emily was awesome to deal with. Very friendly, great communication and flexible with time. My dog really enjoyed his time with her and will be going back next time we’re in town!”
“Elisabeth watched our puppy and did an excellent job! We received lots of pictures and video updates. She was well taken care of and had so much fun! We will be using Elisabeth from now on when we need a dog sitter. 😊”
About: My sister and I moved back to our home town and moved in together (along with my 10 year old niece and my 2 year old daughter). Both of us have had pets all our lives, including owning dogs from as small as 20 pounds to as large as 120 pounds. My doggie Odie stayed with my ex in California and our current family recently and unexpectedly lost my sister’s mini-Poochon, Cosmo. We recently adopted a Labradoodle! Grover is super sweet and loves to have playmates but also understands how to give other dogs space. My 2 year old loves all animals and understands how to give dogs space and to read physical cues (lip curl, growl), but unfortunately, we can’t dog sit or board any dogs that aren’t okay with small children. We are okay with dogs that need some extra care (meds, help going outside to potty, etc.). We have a large fenced yard and we welcome pups in all parts of our house. Thanks! I work from home, my sister watches my two year old in the house, and my 10 year old niece does online school so lots of options for care and cuddles. My parents are also just a few minutes away if we ever need back up! We have a large fenced yard and can do walks as needed (although with some limits when the weather is super cold). We welcome pups in all parts of our house including bedrooms on the second or first floor if pups have a hard time with stairs.
“Julie was amazing. She took the time to introduce herself and know all the needs of Teddy. Throughout the day she gave constant updates with photos. She was very understanding about mt flexible schedule which she adjusted to.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for several years and have a love for all animals. I am active and will take dogs on whatever walk they need to be satisfied! I am very flexible and willing to work with each owner! I work from home so I am able to schedule walks throughout the day. I live in a house with a big, fenced in backyard. I also have a 4 year old puppy named Winston! He is not currently coming with me on house visits or dog walks but I could definitely bring him if your pup wants a friend!
About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! My schedule is flexible and allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I currently work full-time, but I’m in the process of transitioning roles, which gives me increasing availability. My partner is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.
About: I trained my 2 year old Labrador who now is a professional hunting waterfowl dog. I have also grown up in a dog friendly home, and I just love them with my whole heart. I’m a teacher who loves dogs! If you are close to my area, I can gladly walk your dog when I get home for the day. If you are looking for a sitter or Walker over summer break, I’m your girl! I do not have a fenced in back yard, but I do live on a lot of acres. I also have a 2 year old black American Labrador who loves other dogs. My house is pet friendly :)
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12, from small reptiles, to Guinea pigs, to cats and dogs I’ll cover it all :) give me a message I’ll happily be of service to you I have plenty of enough time for boarding or day time care for your lovely pets. My home is quiet, friendly, and smoke-free! No worries when they are with me I have a 3bedroom home, nice backyard, and a safe area to walk your pets around outside! Pets will be most comfortable with me as I am the biggest pet lover and will take best care of to my abilities!

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Growing up, I cared for my own small dog and regularly watched family members’ and neighbors’ dogs through walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’ve also expanded my experience by volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I walk and care for dogs with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. I have delt with numerous dogs with high energy personalities or sometimes ones with bad behavior habits. I always handle situations with care and would love to wear your dog out! I genuinely love being around animals and always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m very attentive, reliable, and responsible, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, providing exercise and enrichment, or simply giving dogs lots of attention and affection. My goal is always to treat every dog like they’re my own and provide the best care possible. When visiting your fur baby I would love to take them on a walk have a good play session and give them all the attentive care they need! I have a very open availability and if I get a request enough in advance, I am willing to take off work in order to work around my client's schedule! Even if I do have work, it is part-time only for a couple of hours and can care for your furry loved ones right when I get off! With my current situation, I am only able to care for large pets such as dogs in my client’s home. I have a reliable mode of transportation meaning I can drive myself whenever needed. I have plenty of space in an extra room to care for small pets if that is the case!

About: Pet Care Experience: I have hands on experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality. I’m confident with feeding routines, medication reminders, and creating a calm, safe environment. What Sets Me Apart: I treat every pet like my own, offering personalized care, consistent communication, and lots of affection. My ability to handle different temperaments, provide loving, general care, and support older pets with mobility or comfort needs helps me stand out as a reliable, thoughtful sitter. I am a college student on summer break so my schedule is as available as it can be! I am super flexible and want to help out if I can! I am very friendly with dogs and have a way with being trusted easily. I have never been mean or harmful, always friendly and encouraging.
About: I have been lucky enough to always have 3+ dogs around me at a time my entire life and love watching them share their favorite hobbies with me! Day to day I love creating interactive games and lick mats for the dogs in my life. I also love taking them out on walks to clear both of our heads :) I have experience caring for & training newborn puppies all the way up to my own elderly dog. You can trust me with your baby! With my own pup I usually take her on walks 3-4 times a week & love taking her to the dog park. We also go to pet stores or pet friendly stores just as a change in scenery. I’ve been helping train 2 5 month old puppies and running around in the backyard with them while cuddling my dog throughout the day! I don’t know a life without multitasking puppy duties! At your home I will play with all of your dogs’ favorite toys & incorporate their favorite activities into their day without the shock of taking them out of their comfort zone!
About: I understand that people need services for their pets as most people are heading back to work after being remote for over a year. I work from home three to four days a week so I am able to provide the extra care at an affordable rate in the comforts of your own home. I regularly house sit for different animals. I have watched horses, lambs, dogs, & cats. I grew up with always having pets and never without. I’m available at different times throughout the week and mornings on the weekend since I work full time. I take my dog outside for walks in the local area during my lunch hour. Since I work from home, I would love to help other pet owners. Feel free to message for additional details. I have a golden retriever that I can bring along for companionship on a walk or socializing. I can stop over to crate, let out for a potty break, house sit, and take your pet for a walk. I do not offer boarding at my house but willing to come to you.
About: I have had dog(s) and/or cat(s)in my life for over 40 years. Animal lovers are very special…I am one of those people that love animals! I work full-time with flexible hours. Animals are welcome to join me in my workplace. I take walks daily and would love to have a pup to walk with. I can watch pets in my home or in clients home and will offer loving care to offer comfort to the client’s pet. I want to ensure that the pet I’m watching or walking is feeling loved and at peace. My son and daughter-in-law have a very nervous rescue so I have experience with nervous pups too!
About: I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and birds. I love all animals, young and old. I’m looking forward to taking care of your fur baby!! I work 2 part time/student assistant jobs so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am always willing to schedule and plan ahead as well. I have one cat at home, but that’s it. I am not afraid to work with dogs that are excited or jumpy and I can take them in and out of their crates!
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages and personalities, including puppies, senior pets, shy cats, and high-energy dogs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications if needed, and giving pets lots of attention and patience. My schedule is pretty flexible, and pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and just spending time with animals throughout the day. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I always make sure pets are safe, secure, and comfortable. I treat your home with the same respect as my own and your pets with the same love I give mine.
“We were a little uneasy about our first time letting someone else take care of our dog, but Teagan has been great with Teemu! She can sometimes be a handful to walk but she seems to be much more well behaved with Teagan. Teagan is very communicative and flexible, she’s been very easy to work with too. We’re very grateful to have found someone who is so great with our dog, she’s made the whole thing very easy! 10/10 recommend!”
About: ***RECENTLY ACTIVE AGAIN AFTER YEARS OFF ROVER*** I love dogs and have my whole life! Really, any animal I will accept and love as if it were my own. I am currently working full time but am available for any type of drop ins, as I am about to “retire” from house stays after 6 years of providing that for families! I’ve been called upon by family and friends for YEARS to stay in their homes, take care of their pets, and provide much needed play time! I will make sure all messes are cleaned, enjoy each dog or animal I’m with to a full extent, and send as many updates as you wish. I also stay as long as I can to ensure each animal is taken care of in any way they need. I am trusted by many people in my life, and unfortunately lost my very own dog, Archie, in May of 2019. I now live on my own, and volunteer at a humane society for dog walking and care. I am still called to pet sit friends dogs (smaller animals too!) and would love to meet your pet(s)! I am willing to work around your schedule as needed, and hoping we can make something work best for everyone involved! I am currently working full time in the Maumee area, and pet sitting is generally more part-time to full time. I work a consistent schedule of 7-3:30pm, so I’d be able to assist after that time for drop ins. I was previously able to assist in overnight stays, and am looking to fill my time with drop ins. I also can do drop ins more frequently on the weekends. If you have questions I will be happy to answer them. I am always updated about instructions that owners leave. If the owner says the dog requires supervision outside, that is what I will do. I also ask about possibility of being an escape artist (fences or bolting out the door!). Other things include not leaving chewable items in sight for the dog, or things that harm them. Again, I usually try to get a feel for the dogs personality beforehand so I know anything required for their safety. This will depend on the pet.

About: I have worked in the vet field for 8 years and am a licensed technician in the States of Ohio and Michigan. I am happy to help with medicating animals who have been prescribed meds by their primary vet. I work in an ER setting and have three dogs of my own, and am CPR RECOVER certified. I work overnights so I am generally free through the week around some set appointments. I also travel for work so I can stop before & after shifts. I understand consistency is key when it comes to low-stress handling and will do my best to stick to your routine with your pet. Each pet is unique and has their own preferences and interests. I'm here to show them lots of love and fill in the spaces for when you're not able to be there, caring for them as you would.
About: I’ve been surrounded by so many animals in my life. From cats, dogs, and water animals. I feel that whenever I’m around animals I become the happiest. I’ve taken care of little puppies, and senior dogs who are blind, deaf, and limping. I’ve changed many doggie diapers! I currently have a part time job with not many hours. I want to fill in my extra time doing something I know that I love. I’m very flexible. I have a fenced in yard. There are 3 friendly kitties that live with me, they’re super cuddly and aren’t territorial. There is a lot of open space for your pets to roam freely inside as well!
About: I’ve taken care of family & friends pets since I was young. This has included overnights & multiple day stays, quick stops to allow a potty break & play time, or just a quick walk. I have cared for dogs under 1 year of age and elders requiring close attention and medication. I follow your guidelines and instructions regarding your pets care! Ensuring your pet is well taken care of and providing you peace of mind is my top priority. I have grown up with a pet consistently in the household and have a dog myself! I am currently a law student at UT! This is my only source of income and fits into my breaks from class. I already love to go on walks and spend time with animals for a much needed mental break from schoolwork. As much as I am a source of love for your pet, they are a source for me as well! I can easily crate your pet and give medication if needed. I do not discipline unless you express that as a request. I am very patient and positive with animals. I will only enter the parts of your home where the dog is located unless told otherwise. I can simultaneously water any plants or do small house chores if you need!
About: I have grown up with almost any animal you can imagine. Very competent to care for dogs, cats, horses, or even chickens and other farm animals. I am also a nurse, so can administer medications and injections if ordered by your veterinarian. I would love to put your mind at ease knowing your animal is safe and loved while you’re away. I am currently only working two shifts per week so my availability is pretty open, as long as I am notified ahead of time. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to see if our schedules would align well for me to board your pet! I have a fenced in yard (1/2 acre) plus 4.5 more acres to walk on a lead.. also we have 3 dogs (which vary greatly in size) that I would love to have company over to play and snuggle.

“Jayden and his wife Lisa are amazing dog sitters. I left my dog Buddy with them over two weeks while flying outside of the country. They we're very flexible and attentive to all of my requests, and promptly communicated any changes with him while in their care. Buddy and their dog Redford became fast friends and Buddy quite clearly loved spending time with their kids, making a bed out of their trampoline. It was so nice to get updates and see just how much fun they had with him. Buddy says hi and thanks again!”
“Zuri is amazing! Our dogs, Luca and Loki, had so much fun at Zuri’s house and they were so well taken care of that we couldn’t be happier. We’ll definitely use Zuri’s services again and highly recommend her to others.”
“She watched my two dogs while I went Out of the country. She did a great job keeping me updated and sending photos. My dogs were very well taken care of and happy when I saw Them. She’s someone I trust with my dogs and would use her again :)”
“Jennifer has been very professional and on the top of everything, including keeping me updated with pictures and sending me timely text updates. Her diligence and communication has been excellent.”
“They did Fantastic with my buddy. I'm sure that you will be very pleased, with their services. I would like to thank them again, for taking great care of him.”
“First time using Rover. Mina sent regular photos to let us know how our dog was doing while we were away which was super helpful. Thanks so much for taking good care of her!”
“Logan and Ellie are amazing people. We left our dogs with them and couldn’t be happier. They took such great care of them and kept us updated the whole time, sending us photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We will definitely book with them again.”
“Sandy was great! My pup wasn’t feeling the best and Sandy did everything she could to make her comfortable. She really treated my girl the same way I would and I can always appreciate that. She was also great with sending pictures and communicating. Will for sure return to her.”
“I can't recommend Paige enough as a dog watcher! She took exceptional care of my two dogs for a week, and I could tell they were in great hands from the moment I met her. She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and loving, which gave me peace of mind during my time away. She kept me updated with daily photos and texts, showing me how my dogs were doing and even sharing some funny moments. She took the time to learn their routines, ensuring they felt comfortable and at ease. Both dogs were happy and healthy when I returned, and it was clear they had enjoyed their time with her.”
“Maria and Augustine are wonderful! They are incredibly friendly, highly responsible, and took amazing care of my dog. I had complete peace of mind knowing my pup was in such safe and caring hands. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!"”
“Barb and her family went above and beyond to make sure my pup felt at home, and she sent daily photo updates. Communication was excellent and timely. I will definitely be requesting Barb again next time we leave town.”
About: I care for dogs by keeping them on a consistent routine and paying close attention to their individual needs. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, exercise, and safe, supervised play time. I follow feeding instructions exactly, keep water fresh, and maintain clean food and water bowls. I also watch for behavior or appetite changes and communicate anything important right away. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, and I take time to build trust so dogs feel comfortable and secure. Whether a dog is high-energy or laid-back, I adjust my approach to match their personality. As an active duty Army service member and lifelong dog owner since age 15, I bring reliability, structure, and genuine care to every pet I look after. I work Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, and my job is only about 15 minutes from my apartment, so I can return home quickly if needed. My spouse works from home, so pets in my care are supervised 24/7. I’m an Active Guard/Reserve service member and typically work one weekend per month — I plan all pet care commitments around that schedule. I’m up daily at 4:30 AM and keep a very structured routine, so feeding times, walks, potty breaks, and exercise schedules are followed consistently. I also have a home camera system to monitor pets throughout the day. On most weekends, I spend the day out and active with my own dog, so pets in my care get plenty of attention and exercise. You may notice my rates are on the lower end. that’s by design! I keep my prices affordable and let my work speak for itself. If you feel I went above and beyond, a tip is how I know I nailed it. No pressure at all, but it means the world when people show their appreciation that way. I’m committed to giving your pet the best care possible regardless! I provide a safe, structured, and supervised home environment where dogs are treated like family. Pets in my care are allowed to comfortably roam the home and are not kept in a crate all day. I have an American Bully in the home who is friendly and fully up to date on all vaccinations. All dogs are kept on leash during outdoor time for safety. I keep the home clean, remove hazards, and maintain fresh water and feeding areas daily. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and behavior guidelines. I also use a home camera system to monitor pets when I step out. While I don’t normally crate dogs, I can crate your pet if needed or if that is your preference.
“Erin was amazing with our dog Kenai! She watched him for us while we went on our honeymoon and truly made Kenai feel at home! She sent plenty of updates and pictures to give us space of mind and we could tell Kenai just loved her and her dog Baz when we went to pick him up! I would gladly have her dog sit for us again and HIGHLY recommend her!”
“Oscar and Shannon were fantastic with accommodating our dogs on short notice. They kept us updated with tons of pics. It seems like the dogs had a great time and made lots of friends!”
“Mary was very kind and accommodating to take care of our sweet, busy bee girl at the last minute. She kept us updated with pictures and a video of our girls 3 day stay. We felt very at ease knowing she was under great care. Thank you!”
“They are great! They’re clearly dog loving people and it was nice knowing our dog was getting a lot of love and attention. Communication was consistent and we had a great experience!! We’d definitely use them again in the future.”
“Definitely recommend Madison to watch my pup. She has few other dogs and I was not sure how she would react with other dogs as she likes to play but can sometimes be a handful. Madison was nice enough to meet Nala before I even booked and let her meet her dogs so we could see how they would react. She put my mind at ease by sending videos and pictures during Nalas stay showing me how Nala was getting along with her pups and just having a grand ole time. She has plenty of field for dogs to run around and enjoy/ tire themselves out. Will definitely be trusting her with my pup again and can not recommend her enough.”
“rachel truly saved us when we had an unexpected family emergency! we dropped our dog off same day and she was so accommodating when we needed to add an extra day. we were able to be fully present and focus knowing that our fur baby was in excellent hands!”
“Rachel was great! We went on a five day cruise and she left daily comments and photos which put us at ease leaving our fur baby for the first time. I think Nutmeg really enjoyed Rachel's family, her dogs, and watching her chickens through the window! I wouldn't hesitate a moment to reach out and have her watch Nutmeg for a day or a week. Thank you again Rachel!!”
