“Max and Mariah just watched our dog for the third time and we’ve been pleased every time! Their communication is great and they will make your fur baby feel right at home. Highly recommend!”
“Tux seemed very happy. I enjoyed getting a picture text of him daily. Edward was very nice and professional. He said the Tux slept right in bed with him at night and that he was allowed to sit and cuddle with him all day. Love that he was not caged up and got to spend time the same way he spends it at home.”
“Erin was fantastic as always. My girl is always so excited to hang out at her house with the other dogs and her boys. She comes home so worn out from having the best time. We really appreciate everything she does to keep our girl safe and happy while we are away. So grateful”
“Jeanne was absolutely wonderful!! She is realiable and took a great care of our dog, Luna, while we were away... She sent daily updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. We feel confident of leaving Luna again with her. I would highly recommend Jeanne to anyone!”
“Bennet cares for our Frenchie with such love and provides her with so much fun and play. Honeybun runs to her without even a goodbye kiss for me-she can’t wait to spend time with Bennet, her family and dog. I’m grateful for the peace of mind I enjoy when we go away. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK!! It does not go unnoticed ❣️🙏✌️”
“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!!!!”
“Kathy was very patient, loving, & understanding with my 12 yr dog Rocki. It was wonderful to know he was safe & secure with reassuring pictures & notes she sent. Her dog Kiri was so calm & welcoming to mine. We are So blessed to have found them. Rocki's missing them already 🥰”
“Our two pups stayed with Larisa while we were gone for a few days. Larisa is so sweet. She’s confident, loving and knows dogs. Our pup, Lemmy, can definitely be anxious when boarding, but he did great with her! She is a good communicator and doesn’t hesitate to ask questions. I felt confident leaving my pups with her and wouldn’t hesitate to have them stay with her again.”
“Jessica cared for Boone during his first stay away from home, and he came home happy, healthy, and very tired. :) Her daily updates were thorough, and she provided him with lots of TLC, snuggles, and enrichment activities to keep him busy and feeling loved while we were gone. We will definitely use Jessica again and would recommend her!”
About: Hi there! My name is Sage, and I’m passionate about caring for pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience giving pills, shots, and other medications, as well as caring for both senior cats who need a little extra patience and love, and playful kittens and puppies. I’ve also helped with potty training for puppies and understand the unique attention that both young and elderly pets require. At home, I’m the proud owner of two cats who keep me on my toes and remind me every day why I love animals so much. My goal is always to provide the same level of care, comfort, and kindness to your pets as I do my own. I have evenings open to love on your pets! If you have a busy night planned or a late night at work, leave your pet in my hands! I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own home. As a sitter, I provide respectful, reliable care that follows your pet’s normal routine, from feeding and playtime to medications and cuddles. Whether your pet is young, elderly, or needs special attention, I treat them with patience and love—just like my own two cats. I know my way around Mount Pleasant trails and parks when your pet needs to get some energy out!
“Absolutely amazing, he took great care of the dogs and updated us regularly. Any questions were easily answered and any problems we were immediately notified. Would definitely recommend him as a sitter.”
“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”
“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”
About: Hi! I have been around and caring for animals for 15 years. Right now I currently dog sit for two dogs every week. I’ve had pets my whole life. I’ve had 4 dogs at one time with 2 cats. I love being around animals and have experience in watching dogs. I currently live in an apartment and have adopted two kittens. I have volunteered many times at the animals shelter by my home. I currently have a part time job so I can definitely fit watching pets into my schedule. I understand the need for care and am willing to try to fit your pet into my schedule I would provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for the pet. I would make sure the pet has water and food at all times. I would make sure the pet also takes all the medications if needed. Depending on the pets needs I would make sure there is time for exercise and play. For my home I would make sure the pet has a clean and safe environment. For the pet owners homes I would make sure to follow all instructions whether it’s feeding and medication instructions or behavioral techniques. I would make sure the animal is able to build trust and a good bond to make sure the pet is comfortable under my care.
“Jennifer (and her family) were absolutely amazing with our pup. I whole heartedly would recommend her to anyone. I received many pictures and updates on how he was doing during his stay. He came home loved and happy. Jennifer goes beyond what is expected and I truly believed loved him as his own. Great!! Great!! Great!!!”
“Jessie and family were amazing with Mya- she loved being there - we could tell she had lots of attention and play time because she was exhausted for the whole evening after she came home. Thank you so much!”

I barely ever have to leave the home , and if I do I have several kennels and comfort items for your dog to enjoy while I may have to step out I have a big fenced in yard ! Plenty of space for your dog to run and play with my dogs . I also have 4 large crates if the dog ever needs crated to have space away from the other dogs or simply just needs to decompress. Depending on the dogs needs , I will adjust accordingly.

About: I have owned dogs since I was 10, and have always had animals as a big part of my life. My camera roll is FILLED with my fur babies. I have trained puppies, cared for senior dogs, and helped with special accommodations. I am open to whatever requests, including walks, parks, transportation, bathing, etc I do work full time on weekdays, but times are flexible. Weekends are almost always open, providing I’m given enough advanced warning to plan for this I have cared for dogs of all ages and sizes. I personally have 3 dogs with LOTS of energy. I love taking them on walks and playing with them. I am fine with any ages or special needs to accommodate with specific instructions given. I used to own a hobby farm, and have been around animals my entire life
About: Cats have always felt like my other half. Since I was 5 I have been rescuing and caring for cats of all ages and backgrounds, and just recently rescued a little kitten that was trapped inside a car. I love making them feel comfortable and cared for because they always return that love ten times over! There's no better feeling than knowing that they feel safe around you, and that's something I will forever strive for.
“Erica was FANTASTIC! I needed a last minute sitter after a cancellation and she was wonderful. As someone in rescue, I can see how she is respectful and knew animals. Erica was awesome with my kitty, Chunky! I recommend Erica if you need someone!!!”
About: I have had animals for my entire life. I currently am already taking care of horses,cattle,dogs,chickens,birds,monkeys,fish,alpacas and cats. I am more than willing to come to your house or host in my home also. Long or short periods. Animals are the best and I'd love to help take care of yours also! I am home 90% of the day so am open 7 days a week anytime. Rather your pets needs are big or small I have time for it all. I have a dog cable and large yard. Pets are welcome with or without cages. Will be loved and cared for just as if they are mine.
About: I’ve taken care of cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in, feed, play with, and care for their cats while away. Although my current cat is the sweetest thing ever, I also have experience handling shy, anxious, and aggressive cats, so I understand the patience and care they need to feel safe and comfortable.
About: I grew up catsitting my neighbor's kitties, playing, feeding, and changing litter while friends were away. I have one cat of my own, and live with my parents who have 2 barn kitties. I am experienced caring for kittens and older cats as well as cats who are super shy. I will follow your cat's lead so they can be comfortable with me in their space. I know how different cat sitting can be to dog sitting, since cats take longer to warm up to new people and environments, I won't rush them :)
About: I have always had dogs and cats in my life, from training my own dogs to dog/cat sitting for family and friends, I have more experience with big dog breeds rather than little but I am comfortable in my ability to care for all types of dogs and cats. My family has raised puppies multiple times and I have assisted in caring for and training them. I am currently working at dr pol veterinary services, I work Monday and Fridays:8-6, Tuesday and Thursday I work 8-5, and I occasionally work Saturdays from 8:30-12. I am completely free on Wednesdays and Sundays and I’m free in the evenings on the days I work. Currently I am unable to bring other people’s pets into my home because we have three large dogs that aren’t the best when it comes to other animals, but me and my boyfriend are working on renovating a polebarn into a apartment for me and him and we plan on completly fencing the area in for when we eventually get dogs of our own.
“Annabel and Gavin were nothing short of amazing, fantastic dog care takers! Our dog probably will want us to go on another trip ASAP so she can spend more time with them and their beautiful dog Zeus.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with both cats and dogs and have been caring for pets my whole life. I have a 3-year-old Golden Retriever, so I understand the daily attention, exercise, patience, and love pets need to feel happy and comfortable. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like family. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animal, and I always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their regular routine, I’m committed to giving each pet personalized care and attention to keep them happy while their owners are away. I currently work full time during the week, but pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I care for my own dog as well. I’m available before and after work on weekdays, and I have more flexibility and availability on weekends. I’m committed to making sure pets get the attention, care, and companionship they need while their owners are away. I currently live in a household with two dogs, and I’ve lived with both dogs and cats for most of my life. I’m very comfortable caring for pets in any way they need and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention while their owners are away.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was very young. I started independently walking and watching animals when I was 12. I have had family, friends, and neighbors rely on me to take care of their fur babies for quite some time now. On top of that I have cared for my 3 cats since I was 8 years old. In addition, I have experience with senior pet care, I recently said goodbye to my senior rescue beagle and I have watched a handful of other senior dogs. I’m currently a full time student with an Internship a two days a week. I can easily stop in for a walk or potty break throughout the week when I don’t have my internship in the morning, afternoon and evening. My availability during the weekend is wide open during the morning and afternoon!! I am one of the biggest animal lovers I think there is. I will always put your fur baby’s safety and health first. I would also like to mention I have experience with dogs that have bad mannerisms, both the dog I am caring for and other dogs that may cross our path.
“Experience with Chrisite was great! This was my first experience with a pet sitter and it couldn't have gone better. Chrisite provided regular communication and pictures as well as handling minor heath issue that popped up. I didn't have to worry about my GSP's, Lilly & Saige, knowing she was caring for them. I typicallly use a kennel but i doubt i would do that again.”

About: I have had a dog in my life since I was young. I have learned how to care for and train dogs of various sizes and ages, from basic commands to specific skills. I have cared for Cats, Hamsters, Rabbits and even Bearded Dragon's, just to name a few. I became a Rover, because I have cared for several friends pets. Doing drop in services while my fur friends Human is at work. Doing drop in service for another fur friend while his Humans went on a family vacation for 2 weeks. I have done pet sitting for a senior fur friend while his Humans enjoyed a lovely cruise for 3 weeks. My fur baby grew up with this senior, so they got along great! I have a group of friends who all have pets, we will go on hikes and take some of the dogs with us. So, if your Fur friend likes adventure, I would be happy to take them along.

I am available to care for your pets almost any reasonable time of the day. My earliest time is 6am, my latest time is 10pm. A drop in service for any vacations, may consist of up to 6 visits daily, each visit is subject for an extra charge based on travel time and distance. We can work out a flat rate if interested. I feel that pets prefer to stay in their own environment. This way they will not experience anymore anxiety than what they will while you are away. As I stated before, my drop in services for daily visits, can consist of up to 6 visits. This is depended on the time you will be away as well as your fur friends needs. We can discuss more details when we meet. Because of my flexible schedule, I can concentrate on caring for my own senior pup and be available to care for your fur friends also. I will be sure to keep your fur friends safe while we walk or play. If your pet requires medical attention, I will be sure to contact the vet provided and then you.
About: A lifelong animal lover, I enjoy romping through the woods with dogs, as well as sharing their company by a burning fire. I'm a freelance writer working from my home, so your hound has a constant companion in my care. The walks help me think while letting the dog burn off some energy. I'm also willing to travel to let your best friend out on a day-to-day basis, or overnights as necessary. Your cat, should he or she stay overnight, would receive lots of attention from two teenagers and a first-grader (even if the cat is indifferent to it). Our dogs have always been part of our family, and we'll treat your pet like one of our own. We look forward to meeting you and yours.
About: I'm a stay at home dad, so I take care of our dog and child. We have a 1-year-old Bichon that I have been with every day since we picked her up. I enjoy the company of little dogs 😃.

I will be available from 9:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M., and of course I could always be flexible 😃 We are currently working on getting our yard fenced in, and we have a 1-year-old Bichon to keep your small dog company. And of course if there's bad weather we can always play inside 😃
About: I have dogsat for friends and family since I was a kid, I worked at a doggy daycare (Paws In The City) in highschool. My family has raised 2 litters of golden retrievers, so I am familiar with how to train and housebreak puppies from a young age. I live with 2 dogs and 3 cats, all with very different energy levels and personalities, I will adjust to your pet's unique needs and routines! I am a student at CMU, so during the semester I will be gone during the morning for classes. I stop by to check on pets during lunch time, and then head back to campus. On weekends I can stay with them the whole day, taking dogs on a hike if the weather is nice, or staying in and playing on my study breaks. I have a pretty open schedule, so I will have a lot of time to spare for pet care. I am willing to stay with your pets overnight if you need, or just stop by regularly throughout the day. I will follow your instructions, and make sure your pets stay fed, safe, and happy while you are gone! I have a lot of hiking trails I want to explore, if you are comfortable with me taking your pup on a fieldtrip. If not, I am happy to walk in your neighborhood and stay closer to home.
About: I grew up with dogs. My siblings and I were entrusted to take good care of our own dog since we were toddlers to train us to be responsible. I treat dogs as a gentle member of the family, like a child who needs parental love, care, protection and provision. My friends and family fully entrust to me their dogs, to play with them, walk, feed and even groom them. I had experience in taking care from puppy days to senior and sickly days. I enjoy taking dogs for a walk, play with them, give belly rubs and make sure that they are hydrated, fed on time and clean as dogs are welcome on our furnitures and bed. We have a fence for dogs to play outdoors. If you need a safe and happy home for your furbabies while you are away, we welcome them in our home and will be treated as our own family member. My dog and I are home most of the time, and we are thrilled to share that time and our tender loving care with your furbaby while staying at our place. I have a fenced yard for dogs in a safe and quiet neighborhood. I have one cuddly dog to give your furbaby company and makes his/her stay comfortable. I have a regular schedule when it comes to feeding, potty runs, walk and play time with dogs.

As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.
“Blythe was very accommodating. She took us as a fairly last minute booking since we had a funeral and my previous sitter had just moved away. My pickup estimate was off and she was kind enough to keep Grokii an hour or two longer than expected even though it coincided with putting her kids to bed. Her kids are absolutely adorable and I know Grokii was doted on because he slept almost the entire next day. Great family - highly recommend!”
“Jennifer and her family were wonderful with Loki. He can be very timid and they allowed us to come for a "Meet & Greet" the day before our stay, which helped him be more comfortable. Thanks for the photos and the care you gave to Loki during his stay. We will be back again:)”
“Jennifer was awesome as always. This was our second time using her services. She is great with communication and she tired our puppies out with walks, playtime with other dogs, and just giving them so much love. She really treats them like family. She is great at reading dog behavior and she goes above and beyond meeting thier needs. We will definitely be our first choice anytime we need someone to watch our pups!”
About: I’ve taken care of a senior cat who had special littler box, medicine, and feeding needs. My family has also relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their small dogs for over 5 years! I love being an auntie to a red toy poodle! I currently work full time from home, allowing care at most times throughout the day! I also am commonly at home during week nights, and enjoy many at home hobbies including playing the piano, reading, knitting, and crocheting, which all make me a homebody! I have a large back yard and live in a neighborhood that is very friendly for dog walking! My home is all vinyl flooring and one level.

About: Ever since being a young little girl, I have cared for dogs and they have a special place in my heart. I grew up with a yellow lab and took great care of her. As an adult I am the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. I have watched small family farm taking care of goats, horses, dogs, and outdoor cats too. I have more experience with mid to older dogs than puppies, but I have also helped take care of puppies too. I am currently searching for a full-time position; therefore, I have flexibility for during the day for potty breaks or walks, evening care, and overnight stay at your house. I am unfortunately renting currently and have a no pet policy so I cannot board at this time. Your pet is to be treated like my own. I follow the owners lead but I love playtime, indoor or outdoor, walks by leash and harness, and cuddles and loves. I only give treats if that is what the household wants. I wish to keep the routine as similar to what the animal is used to.
About: With over a decade of experience working with animals, you can trust that your furry friend will be well loved and safe in my care. I’ve not only cared for animals of my own my entire life, I’ve also worked at a dog boarding kennel, on a farm and cared for many animals of family and friends over the years. I’ve trained puppies, performed grooming, bathing, feeding and administering medication for dogs and cats of all ages. I’m also experienced taking care of chickens and other small farm animals. I love animals and can’t wait to snuggle and play with yours! I’m currently a stay at home mom. My son just started pre-school so I am excited to finally get back out into the working world. I’m extremely flexible. I’m happy to help in any way you need. In the past, I have made sure to get a potty break in and energy out. I’m very aware of safety and would make sure to follow any requests from you.
About: I love being around pets! I have 2 dogs and 1 cat of my own. Both dogs are on the smaller side and my cat is 6 years of ageI have 2 young children in my home when they aren't at school. My daughter is 5 and my son is 3. I have had dogs since I was a kid and have loved having them around. I work on a rotating schedule so my days of service are different each week. I have no professional experience but many years of personal service with pets. I have had fish in the past so I could also help with them. I will be available at all times on the days I have off. I am looking forward you meeting you pet and being able to help you out!
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 have been caring for a wide variety of animals my whole life, from cats to horses to dogs of all sizes! Large breeds are my specialty, as I have grown up around Great Danes, Saint Bernards, and Newfoundlands my entire life, and feel very comfortable handling them. I have cared for many senior and small breed dogs as well, so your pets will receive the upmost care no matter the age or size! I love working with as many unique personalities and animals as I possibly can, and will work tirelessly to make sure they receive the care they need. My schedule is often very open, especially during the summer when classes are out, so I will communicate well to work around YOUR schedule! I will do what it takes to get your pets the care they need when they need it. Safety is priority number one when it comes to caring for pets, for both me and the animals. I am sure to follow whatever instructions are given to me to the strictest degree so you don't have to worry about your pets safety while you're away. When going for walks I always maintain firm a firm hold on the leash, even with bigger dogs. I have been walking with large breeds such as Saint Bernards and Great Danes for over a decade, so I feel very comfortable remaining in control. I always carry pepper spray with me as well, just as an absolute last resort in the very rare chance that anything would happen.
About: I've been raised around all ages of puppies/dogs, use to work at a dog daycare for a few years, took behavior classes, and did nail trimming. Also have done walking at the daycare and also with my own dogs. I have took care of seniors also that have needed medicine I'm a stay at home mom with my baby daughter, 2 dogs Toby and Koda, and my fluffy playful kitten Snooze. I have spaces in my day where I will be able to take care of your furry babies for you while you have to work/trip I do grooming for my dogs and kitten, walk/play with my dogs every day. At night I make sure to give each one alone time with me before bed so they don't get jealous of eachother
About: A lifelong animal lover, I enjoy romping through the woods with dogs, as well as sharing their company by a burning fire. I'm a freelance writer working from my home, so your hound has a constant companion in my care. The walks help me think while letting the dog burn off some energy. I'm also willing to travel to let your best friend out on a day-to-day basis, or overnights as necessary. Your cat, should he or she stay overnight, would receive lots of attention from two teenagers and a first-grader (even if the cat is indifferent to it). Our dogs have always been part of our family, and we'll treat your pet like one of our own. We look forward to meeting you and yours.

About: I have dogsat for friends and family since I was a kid, I worked at a doggy daycare (Paws In The City) in highschool. My family has raised 2 litters of golden retrievers, so I am familiar with how to train and housebreak puppies from a young age. I live with 2 dogs and 3 cats, all with very different energy levels and personalities, I will adjust to your pet's unique needs and routines! I am a student at CMU, so during the semester I will be gone during the morning for classes. I stop by to check on pets during lunch time, and then head back to campus. On weekends I can stay with them the whole day, taking dogs on a hike if the weather is nice, or staying in and playing on my study breaks. I have a pretty open schedule, so I will have a lot of time to spare for pet care. I am willing to stay with your pets overnight if you need, or just stop by regularly throughout the day. I will follow your instructions, and make sure your pets stay fed, safe, and happy while you are gone! I have a lot of hiking trails I want to explore, if you are comfortable with me taking your pup on a fieldtrip. If not, I am happy to walk in your neighborhood and stay closer to home.
About: I have always had dogs and cats in my life, from training my own dogs to dog/cat sitting for family and friends, I have more experience with big dog breeds rather than little but I am comfortable in my ability to care for all types of dogs and cats. My family has raised puppies multiple times and I have assisted in caring for and training them. I am currently working at dr pol veterinary services, I work Monday and Fridays:8-6, Tuesday and Thursday I work 8-5, and I occasionally work Saturdays from 8:30-12. I am completely free on Wednesdays and Sundays and I’m free in the evenings on the days I work. Currently I am unable to bring other people’s pets into my home because we have three large dogs that aren’t the best when it comes to other animals, but me and my boyfriend are working on renovating a polebarn into a apartment for me and him and we plan on completly fencing the area in for when we eventually get dogs of our own.
About: I have had a dog in my life since I was young. I have learned how to care for and train dogs of various sizes and ages, from basic commands to specific skills. I have cared for Cats, Hamsters, Rabbits and even Bearded Dragon's, just to name a few. I became a Rover, because I have cared for several friends pets. Doing drop in services while my fur friends Human is at work. Doing drop in service for another fur friend while his Humans went on a family vacation for 2 weeks. I have done pet sitting for a senior fur friend while his Humans enjoyed a lovely cruise for 3 weeks. My fur baby grew up with this senior, so they got along great! I have a group of friends who all have pets, we will go on hikes and take some of the dogs with us. So, if your Fur friend likes adventure, I would be happy to take them along. If you have questions about other services that I do not have tagged, feel free to ask me, I am sure we can work something out. I am available to care for your pets almost any reasonable time of the day. My earliest time is 6am, my latest time is 10pm. A drop in service for any vacations, may consist of up to 6 visits daily, each visit is subject for an extra charge based on travel time and distance. We can work out a flat rate if interested. I feel that pets prefer to stay in their own environment. This way they will not experience anymore anxiety than what they will while you are away. As I stated before, my drop in services for daily visits, can consist of up to 6 visits. This is depended on the time you will be away as well as your fur friends needs. We can discuss more details when we meet. Because of my flexible schedule, I can concentrate on caring for my own senior pup and be available to care for your fur friends also. I will be sure to keep your fur friends safe while we walk or play. If your pet requires medical attention, I will be sure to contact the vet provided and then you.
“Annabel and Gavin took care of my 2 doogs and a cat while I was away for 2 weeks overseas. They have followed their routine to the T. Excellent communication gave me peace of mind and photos sharing ensured pets were in great hands. I can't be thankful enough for allowing us to enjoy our vacation knowing our fur babies are taking care off. Highly recommended and would definitely use their service again!”
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs, with the most recent pet being a golden doodle. None currently. My kids and I would love to spoil your pet with some attention while you’re away. Let us know if they love walks, to run, to fetch, to be left alone- whatever they need we can provide 🙂 I’ve worked online for 14 years and have plenty of time to spoil your pet with attention, walks or even a run if that’s their thing. My son loves to play fetch and my daughter loves the cuddles. I have a fenced in yard but would also take for regular walks and can crate if you needed. We also live very close to a fenced in dog lot!
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was very young. I started independently walking and watching animals when I was 12. I have had family, friends, and neighbors rely on me to take care of their fur babies for quite some time now. On top of that I have cared for my 3 cats since I was 8 years old. In addition, I have experience with senior pet care, I recently said goodbye to my senior rescue beagle and I have watched a handful of other senior dogs. I’m currently a full time student with an Internship a two days a week. I can easily stop in for a walk or potty break throughout the week when I don’t have my internship in the morning, afternoon and evening. My availability during the weekend is wide open during the morning and afternoon!! I am one of the biggest animal lovers I think there is. I will always put your fur baby’s safety and health first. I would also like to mention I have experience with dogs that have bad mannerisms, both the dog I am caring for and other dogs that may cross our path.

“Max and Mariah just watched our dog for the third time and we’ve been pleased every time! Their communication is great and they will make your fur baby feel right at home. Highly recommend!”
“Tux seemed very happy. I enjoyed getting a picture text of him daily. Edward was very nice and professional. He said the Tux slept right in bed with him at night and that he was allowed to sit and cuddle with him all day. Love that he was not caged up and got to spend time the same way he spends it at home.”
“Erin was fantastic as always. My girl is always so excited to hang out at her house with the other dogs and her boys. She comes home so worn out from having the best time. We really appreciate everything she does to keep our girl safe and happy while we are away. So grateful”
“Jeanne was absolutely wonderful!! She is realiable and took a great care of our dog, Luna, while we were away... She sent daily updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. We feel confident of leaving Luna again with her. I would highly recommend Jeanne to anyone!”
“Our two pups stayed with Larisa while we were gone for a few days. Larisa is so sweet. She’s confident, loving and knows dogs. Our pup, Lemmy, can definitely be anxious when boarding, but he did great with her! She is a good communicator and doesn’t hesitate to ask questions. I felt confident leaving my pups with her and wouldn’t hesitate to have them stay with her again.”
“Jessica cared for Boone during his first stay away from home, and he came home happy, healthy, and very tired. :) Her daily updates were thorough, and she provided him with lots of TLC, snuggles, and enrichment activities to keep him busy and feeling loved while we were gone. We will definitely use Jessica again and would recommend her!”
“Absolutely amazing, he took great care of the dogs and updated us regularly. Any questions were easily answered and any problems we were immediately notified. Would definitely recommend him as a sitter.”
“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”
About: Hi! I have been around and caring for animals for 15 years. Right now I currently dog sit for two dogs every week. I’ve had pets my whole life. I’ve had 4 dogs at one time with 2 cats. I love being around animals and have experience in watching dogs. I currently live in an apartment and have adopted two kittens. I have volunteered many times at the animals shelter by my home. I currently have a part time job so I can definitely fit watching pets into my schedule. I understand the need for care and am willing to try to fit your pet into my schedule I would provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for the pet. I would make sure the pet has water and food at all times. I would make sure the pet also takes all the medications if needed. Depending on the pets needs I would make sure there is time for exercise and play. For my home I would make sure the pet has a clean and safe environment. For the pet owners homes I would make sure to follow all instructions whether it’s feeding and medication instructions or behavioral techniques. I would make sure the animal is able to build trust and a good bond to make sure the pet is comfortable under my care.
“Jennifer (and her family) were absolutely amazing with our pup. I whole heartedly would recommend her to anyone. I received many pictures and updates on how he was doing during his stay. He came home loved and happy. Jennifer goes beyond what is expected and I truly believed loved him as his own. Great!! Great!! Great!!!”
“Jessie and family were amazing with Mya- she loved being there - we could tell she had lots of attention and play time because she was exhausted for the whole evening after she came home. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi! I am new to Rover, but caring for dogs is something my family truly loves. I have a friendly golden retriever named Stanley who absolutely thrives when he has other dogs to play with—so hosting furry friends is a joy for all of us! I work from home most days, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My young kids also love having dogs around and are gentle, playful, and used to being around animals. I also have a cat in our home who is very comfortable around dogs—she and Stanley are great friends—so your pup should be cat-friendly or at least respectful of cats. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor playtime, and I treat every dog that stays with us like part of the family. Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, I will make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. Since I’m just getting started on Rover, I’m excited to build relationships with both pets and their owners and provide a safe, trustworthy environment you can feel confident in. I currently work a hybrid schedule. I am home 2-3 days a week. We do have a fenced in yard and a doggy door. I have a fenced in yard and my animals are our family. They are welcome to lay where they are comfortable and shares the bed with me if needed.
“We were traveling through Michigan and needed a cat sitter for two nights. Ashley was great at communicating before we arrived. During our cat's stay, she sent updates with pictures. Would definitely use her again!”
“Highly recommend Audrey! Very friendly and we got daily updates. We have used different boarding services before and this is the first time our dog came back and wasn't mad at us, lol. He must have had a good time! :)”
