“Hanna was absolutely fantastic with my 2 dogs! She was attentive to all of my requests as a dog parent, she sent constant picture updates of them having fun, and she returned them to me in wonderful spirits and cleaner than before. For anyone in need of a dog sitter, look no further. She is a reliable and wonderful caretaker.”
“Brad provided excellent, attentive care to my dog on short notice. Clear and easy communication at every step. The photos were a nice touch too. Thank you Brad, we’ll hope to board with you again.”
“Olivia recommended a 100%, she was so good with our Domino, she kept us updated everyday, sharing with her family, my dog had activity outside and with other dogs. Thank you and if is possible we will ask for her service again”
“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 ☺️ ❤️”
“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.”
“First time the boys stayed with Lucy and I couldn’t be happier. She provided plenty of updates and pictures, the pickup/drop off was smooth, and they came home tired and happy from playing. Lucy is incredible and will use her services in the future when in the area! Wish we had somebody as solid as Lucy closer to us so we could book more often. 10/10”
“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!”
“Christina took such great care of our Husky Frisco! She sent updates and was great about communicating. She knows what she is doing and we will definitely bring him back ?”
“Clara did a fantastic job. My dod came back home happy and healthy. Clara's home and facilities are ideal and about the best you could ask for. I will definitely be bringing my dog back. :)”
“This was my first time havinh Shawn keep my puppy and I must say she was very nice upon our first meeting and was very understanding when I was running late to drop off, which I totally appreciated. My pup seemed to have had a good time with her. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Debra was absolutely amazing! She truly enjoys dog sitting and it showed thru her genuine excitement to care for our Goldendoodle after our meet-n-greet. It honestly felt like leaving our dog at Grandmas. She took our dog in on Christmas Day and even got him a present. She even shared some of her Christmas dinner ham with him (after asking for permission of course). Debra genuinely loves caring for dogs. She sends updates and photos throughout the day. We’ve never left our dog with a dog sitter before and she put us at ease after meeting with her. We couldn’t be happier with the care she gave our needy and active Goldendoodle. We HIGHLY recommend letting Debra care for your 4 legged child. She will give them all the love and attention they can handle.”
“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.”
“Leigh Anne was wonderful to take in both of our huge pups. She communicated well from the initial request, to the meet n' greet, drop off, during their stay, and pick-up. I'd highly recommend her!”
“Madison and her husband took great care of our dogs for 10 days. This was our first time leaving our younger dog for this long so we were a little nervous, but both dogs did great! Madison kept us updated throughout the stay with pictures and we could tell our dogs were having a great time. Highly recommend Madison!”
About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from farm animals to indoor pets, including dogs, cats, and reptiles. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 reptiles of my own, so daily animal care is already a big part of my life. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, playtime, walks, administering routine care, potty breaks, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and treated like family while in my care. I work full-time as a dental assistant Monday–Thursday, but I’m available before and after work and have full availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I make pet care a priority and can provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and care to ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved while with me. I provide a safe, loving environment and follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and lots of attention to keep them comfortable and happy.

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.

“Lucy was a sweetheart, communicative and patience with my kitty, who sometimes experiences separation anxiety. I’m grateful for her positive attitude and timely responses!”
“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.”
“Maegan was so attentive and great to our cat. She followed directions and my cat loved the attention! My cat requires an oral medication and Maegan was able to give her medicine while I was gone. Maegan also was so considerate and brought in our mail/packages. We will be using her again!”
“Elizabeth is so great with our cats! She makes sure they are taken care of, but especially gives them attention so they don’t miss us so much! She leaves the house as she finds it! We couldn’t have a better sitter for our animals!”
“Ashlee has done a fantastic job caring for my cat Smokey. He is full spirited when I get home from travel, which tells me he is getting a level of attention from Ashlee that others have not given in the past. Ashlee was also able to accommodate the addition of a day in the middle of my travels. Thank you, Ashlee!”
“We love Michelle. Not a single worry when we have her stop in to see our goofy girl Hydi. Very professional and it’s a comfort knowing we can spend a few days away. Kitty is happy as well.”
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!
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.
“Thomye and family spoiled the heck out of Susu, sent lots of pictures, and were great about keeping us updated. When we travel again, we will totally be happy about sending Susu back for his own little vacation.”
“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: 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.

“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.”
“Lucy is so friendly and professional. Bella had a wonderful day and it was obvious by how tired she was upon returning home. I love the fact she had a great time socializing with other dogs. Thanks, Lucy!”
“Olivia is very sweet, I took my dog, Zoe,2 to her for daycare while we were on vacation. Zoe is a little timid around children and needs a fenced yard so this was a good fit for her. I was able to enjoy my vacation because I knew my baby was very well cared for.”
“My beagle, Annie, spent half a day getting acquainted with Summer, Jazzie, and Finn. After some initial anxiety over being left, she settled in very well thanks to Summer's responsiveness. Soon after I left, she took Annie for a walk with her dogs which distracted and relaxed her a bit. When I picked her up, she was happy and had gotten along well with Jazzie and Finn. Summer responded quickly to my texts and let me know how Annie was doing with texts and pics.”

“Jeremiah is definitely a dog person. My pup couldn't wait to greet him the second time I hired him, going right up to him and wagging her tail.

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.

I also have 400+ hours of volunteer horse care at an equine therapy barn. I walk my own dog daily and he is high energy. I’m always in search of play pals for him to burn energy with.

I will keep returning to Maegan for all my dog walking needs! :)”

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.

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.

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.

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!

“Hanna was absolutely fantastic with my 2 dogs! She was attentive to all of my requests as a dog parent, she sent constant picture updates of them having fun, and she returned them to me in wonderful spirits and cleaner than before. For anyone in need of a dog sitter, look no further. She is a reliable and wonderful caretaker.”

“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.”
“First time the boys stayed with Lucy and I couldn’t be happier. She provided plenty of updates and pictures, the pickup/drop off was smooth, and they came home tired and happy from playing. Lucy is incredible and will use her services in the future when in the area! Wish we had somebody as solid as Lucy closer to us so we could book more often. 10/10”
“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!”
“Christina took such great care of our Husky Frisco! She sent updates and was great about communicating. She knows what she is doing and we will definitely bring him back ?”
“Clara did a fantastic job. My dod came back home happy and healthy. Clara's home and facilities are ideal and about the best you could ask for. I will definitely be bringing my dog back. :)”
“This was my first time havinh Shawn keep my puppy and I must say she was very nice upon our first meeting and was very understanding when I was running late to drop off, which I totally appreciated. My pup seemed to have had a good time with her. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Debra was absolutely amazing! She truly enjoys dog sitting and it showed thru her genuine excitement to care for our Goldendoodle after our meet-n-greet. It honestly felt like leaving our dog at Grandmas. She took our dog in on Christmas Day and even got him a present. She even shared some of her Christmas dinner ham with him (after asking for permission of course). Debra genuinely loves caring for dogs. She sends updates and photos throughout the day. We’ve never left our dog with a dog sitter before and she put us at ease after meeting with her. We couldn’t be happier with the care she gave our needy and active Goldendoodle. We HIGHLY recommend letting Debra care for your 4 legged child. She will give them all the love and attention they can handle.”
“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.”
“Madison and her husband took great care of our dogs for 10 days. This was our first time leaving our younger dog for this long so we were a little nervous, but both dogs did great! Madison kept us updated throughout the stay with pictures and we could tell our dogs were having a great time. Highly recommend Madison!”
About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from farm animals to indoor pets, including dogs, cats, and reptiles. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 reptiles of my own, so daily animal care is already a big part of my life. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, playtime, walks, administering routine care, potty breaks, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and treated like family while in my care. I work full-time as a dental assistant Monday–Thursday, but I’m available before and after work and have full availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I make pet care a priority and can provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and care to ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved while with me. I provide a safe, loving environment and follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and lots of attention to keep them comfortable and happy.
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.
“Sway loved her stay with Krista! Easiest drop off I’ve ever experienced with Rover. She sent a few pics of my pup while I was away and was flexible with the pick up! Definitely planning to book again!”
“Kevin was exactly who I needed to take care of my dogs while I flew across the country for a few days. He was flexible and great with communication. He answered quickly, gave me lots of updates, and photos! He took great care of my dogs. Helped to not be worried when I was on vacation, as I missed them a lot. Would definitely book with him again. My dogs were worn out and happy when they came home. Thank you!!”
“This was the first time I left my puppy. Even though I texted to check on him way more than I should have Nicholas never got upset and kept me updated with videos and answered whatever questions I had. Beaux was with him four nights. I would use him again and definitely recommend”
