“Caitlin did a beautiful job with Murphy, our rescue boy. He gets nervous when strangers come over so we brought him to her house. She had a nice room for him to relax, a big fenced yard in the country and a calm, positive demeanor. He has not been sat by anyone but family, but we will definitely be taking Murphy to her again. She even gave us fresh-caught Alaskan salmon to bring to our daughter, who had just had a baby. Hoping she becomes a regular part of Murphy's life! We highly recommend her.”
“Kajae and Emily were great hosts for gigi. They sent me updates with pictures that gave me peace of mind that gigi was happy. There dog sage was great fun for gigi.”
“Dior was so comfortable right away with Christine. She kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent pics of my girl so I knew she was good. Even got her a couple stuffies to destroy while she was there. Great experience! Thank you Christine! It was a pleasure”
“Hartley and Pretty Girl had a wonderful stay! Jessica and her family were very accommodating. They helped our anxious pup adapt to being away while letting our social pup play with the other dogs in the home. We will definitely be back!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a 4 year old Black Lab named Bear, and before him I had Coco, a Black Lab/Golden Retriever mix who was part of my family for 7 wonderful years (adopted at 8 and had her until the Rainbow Bridge). Caring for dogs through every stage of life has given me experience with everything from energetic young dogs to senior pets with changing needs. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and neighbors while they’ve been away on vacation, providing dependable care, exercise, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe and well cared for when you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and would love to help give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with good company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m already used to planning my day around walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and giving my own dog the attention he needs, so adding another furry friend is something I truly enjoy. Because I’m home for most of the day, pets won’t be left alone for long periods and can receive plenty of attention, companionship, and bathroom breaks. I also enjoy being active, so walks and outdoor time are a regular part of my routine. Whether your pet needs lots of play or prefers a quieter, relaxed environment, I’m happy to match their routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a friendly 4-year-old Black Lab, Bear, who has a gentle temperament and no history of aggression. He enjoys meeting other dogs and has always done well with them, but I’ll always prioritize slow, safe introductions based on each dog’s comfort level. I also have two children who have grown up around animals and understand that pets deserve respect, space, and gentle interactions. They know not to disturb dogs while they’re eating, sleeping, or if they want time to themselves. Any interactions with your pet will always be supervised. I believe every pet is unique, so I’ll follow your instructions closely to help maintain their normal routine and make them feel safe and at home. I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own.
“Sydney was easy to work with. She had a large fenced backyard where my dogs got to run. They were very tired after pick up so I know they were well exercised which is great for my pups!”
“Great Experience! ? This was first time my dog stayed with Ashley and Eric & family. We met at the dog park prior to the 2 night stay to ensure that we were a good match for each other. I received numerous photos of Wynnie during her stay. Both Ashley and Eric were very accommodating. I will definitely use their services again!”
“My experience with Crystal M. Was wonderful. I was kept updated through photos and texts. I would definitely recommend her services, and I will definitely be a repeating customer.”
“Lucy had a good time with Amy, Gregory and their family. She got along with the family's other pets and they enjoyed her and sent lots of pictures and updates. I am very comfortable with their care for Lucy and have scheduled again with them.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Growing up with dogs, I quickly became in tune with their needs and can form a bond quickly! I go above and beyond to make every dog I meet feel loved and welcomed. I grew up with cats, dogs, and horses. I’m currently home with my little boy for the summer so my availability is virtually wide open! I’ll be able to provide walks, pets, and so much more. I have an outdoor kennel with a nice house in it if needed. Otherwise, I can provide a crate inside in a calm environment. My 2 dogs are around to play with your dog as well! If you’re worried about my dogs and your dog getting along, I can separate them-no problem.
“Millie had another great stay with Jon and Jessica! They took extra care of her with a recent leg injury and we were able to relax knowing she was in good hands! She’s excited to come back again soon!”
“Jill and her family took great care of my dog. She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up. She sent me constant updates and pictures which was very nice and reassuring as I was away. She took the time to understand my dog’s personality and needs. My dog was very cheerful after the time spent at Jill’s and her family (including their cute dog). Would Definitely recommend!”
“Stacy was very calm and professional. My dog was pretty calm around Stacy which is rare for her. Stacy wasn't afraid to ask questions about my dog and sent updates regularly. I definitely recommend Stacy.”
“Grace was absolutely amazing while she watched our dog! From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. Grace kept us updated throughout the stay with regular messages and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She truly welcomes your dog as if they were one of her own, and it's clear how much she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. She is incredibly professional, kind, and trustworthy, and we never had to worry for a second. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for exceptional dog care. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Loved working with Ashley, she always kept me up to date on how my dogs were doing, she took the time to understand the needs of each of them personally. She had an amazing set up in her garage so each dog had their personally space. Wonderful fenced in yard for them to be safe while having a place to have fun. Definitely would book with Ashley again.”
“Thomas and his family welcomed my little dog into their home. He was well cared for and I felt informed and comfortable with his communication for our vacation. I definitely will have Milo come again. Thank you for taking such good care of our dog.”
“I can't say enough about Amanda! We felt so good leaving Jojo with Amana and Bailey for 5 days! What an enjoyable vacation we had knowing our fluffball was so well taken care of. THANK YOU, AMANDA!”
“Shiloh was crying with anticipation when we were 2 blocks away...He runs in the house and paces by the door waiting to see Aspen and Koda....He couldnt have cared less whether i stayed or left...which actually is a great feeling and an indicator of how comfortable he is at Sara's house. we get pictures and updates which is wonderful and we pick up a happy well cared for dog.”
About: Hi! I’m a middle school teacher, mom to 4 busy kids, and dog mom to ‘Jersey’ our mixed rescue. My house is a welcoming home away from home for your pup. Now that my kids are a bit older, I have a lot of time to give to your pup in the summer and would treat them like my own. I LOVE getting outdoors and walking as much as my legs can allow. Summer break allows for our family of six to enjoy the neighborhood. I have the flexibility to be home daily. Although my children are in multiple activities, I am always close to home. I will be out and about quite often driving kids to different places, but are never gone for more than a few hours. I am able to leave and take your pup for a quick walk multiple times a day, or welcome them into our house over the course of a couple days. My house has a fenced in yard in a nice family neighborhood. Our dog has her base camp on our upper level den, but we have a safe and separate area for your pet in our lower level that will be all theirs! I will walk multiple times daily and care for your pet as my own. My family has lots of love and cuddles to give if needed, but if your pup is more of a recluse, they can adjust accordingly!

About: I've taken care of, trained and loved animals since I was little. Growing up that infatuation grew into a dream to have my own kennel and business. Now I own and operate Pawsitive Journey, so in a way uou could say that dream has turned into a reality. I'm experienced with a wide variety of behaved dogs, puppies and more. Don't be afraid to reach out. When your fur babies are in my care, they will be treated and cared for as family. I'm currently self-employed through Pawsitive Journey, so I will have plenty of time to provide your pet with the care, attention, and playtime you want and expect. I have a 6+ years of handling and caring for animals in general and would be able to provide the most comfort and the most exhilarating time while you are away, depending on what your pet requires.
“Very pleased with the service Piper provided! I asked her to do two dates that were several days apart because my other pet sitter couldn't do them. This would have been challenging for me to remember - but she was totally on top of it. She even texted me early in the day on the second date to confirm that she would be there - and she was! She took great pictures of my cat and offered to help in any way she could. My cat was happy and healthy when I returned home. I am VERY HAPPY to have another pet sitter I can trust. Thanks, Piper!!”

About: I have cared and loved many animals. I grew up on and around farms so I have worked with horses, cows, wolves, cats, dogs, ducks, and chickens. I have had a Great Dane that I had rescued from an abusive home. I am currently working full time M-F 7am to 530pm. I can work evenings and weekends. Soon I would like to work with animals full time instead of at my current job. My desire is to work the hours that pet owners need me when I start to build clientele. When I get enough clients my hopes are to extend to the business hours and do that full time. I do not want to quit my full time hours until I am able to help enough pets and their owners. I would love to care for pets by being able to take them outside of their homes for play by themselves or to a dog park. I would love for the pets to be able to be in the environment that works best for them. Some dogs do great in public with other dog or cat friends, while others may not enjoy that much stimulation. I would like to get to know the animal to find out the best fit for them. I would also like the pet parents to let me know what they feel is best for their fur baby. The enjoyment of the pets life is what I want to focus on so they can have the best care. I feel I would like to talk with the animal owner to see what environment works best for their animal.
“Amy was fantastic! We would trust Amy with our furry little ones every time! Amy was always right on time. Her messages included the bad (💩 on floor) along with all of the good. We received a message after every visit including pictures of the dogs. The care she showed our dogs allowed us to enjoy our time away.”
“I was so nervous to leave MG alone but Rover has some great people and we are very blessed to have found out about this service. I was also especially nervous because MG is a rescue that I rescued myself and so not much information is known. So im still navigating and understanding her personality. She did so good with Valleri and im so happy that it went good. I also feel relieved MG has been able to go outside for a while and eat and drink. Thanks so much for all you do!!”

About: With 15+ years in the pet care industry, my experience from working at boarding faculties, doggy daycares, and pet hospitals has prepared me for taking care of your pets! 🐾 Incorporating pet care seamlessly into my day is second nature. It's all about blending routines. Having dedicated bonding time and play sessions make everyday enjoyable! Creating a safe and trusting environment is my top priority.

About: I have been helping my friends and family take care of their fur babies, I love animals and take care of them as if they’re my own family member. I’m a stay at home mom that is willing and able to help others when I am available. We enjoy being outside any kind of weather. My home is set up for taking good care of any dog. I have a good system to take care of any dog. If they have a lot of energy, I have a pup that loves to play, but can seem aggressive when someone new is in her territory, but warms up quickly. I’m a very active person myself and get outside no matter the weather!
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each dog or cat’s personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have experience working with both puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I focus on reinforcing basic training like potty routines, crate training, and positive behavior habits. For senior pets, I’m patient and attentive to mobility issues, medication schedules, and creating a calm, low-stress environment. I’m also highly reliable and communicative—I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, structured routines, or gentle, attentive care, I adapt to what works best for them. Above all, I aim to build trust—not just with pets, but with their owners too—so you can feel completely confident while you’re away. I am currently working full-time but with my scheduling I am able to build time around pets needs. Each day includes feeding, walks or playtime, and general check-ins to make sure they’re healthy and comfortable. I live in home with a fenced in yard. All animals are allowed in all rooms as well as furniture. I do have a crate if need be and two friendly doodles to keep your dog company with lots of toys to play with!
“Awesome experience all the way around. Our two pups had a great stay and Heather's pup Aggie was the perfect co-host. Great fenced backyard for the pups to explore and play. We'll be back!”
“Scott and Julia were just wonderful with my dog Luna. She is very anxious and my baby, but she was comfortable there almost instantly. I received constant updates and wonderful pictures! Luna will definitely be staying there again!!”

“Alexandra is awesome! My dog had so much fun at her house for daycare! She sent updates and photos throughout the day and is quick to reply to messages! Will definitely bring my pup back to her :)”
“Kayla came through last minute and put my mind at ease. Hanzo was nervous upon arrival, and she assured me the steps that would be taken to make him comfortable. It looks like he made some new friends today. He is happy and tired, and I would love to have him stay with Kayla again!”
About: Since day one, I have always had a dog in my life. A cat in my adult years and a few other critters throughout the years. They are all family! All my dogs have always been a big part of my life and I care for them deeply. Family/Friends have trusted me to care for their pets when needed. I am always happy to lend a helping hand, or a lap to cuddle on, an arm to throw a ball, or even lacing up those tennis shoes for a walk. I currently have a “teenager” (6 year American Staffordshire Terrier… major cuddles, playful, very sensitive stomach) and recently our senior Luna past over the rainbow bridge. I am patient and have energy for any requirement you may need while your babies are in my care. Working from home, I am quite flexible most days. I am an early riser and stay up late. So feedings, playtime, bathroom breaks, etc is not an issue for me. We have 5 acres of unfenced land to run around in. I also have a very large fenced Garden the dogs are allowed to roam in for off leash fun, as well as a sizeable wrap around deck to chill on and soak up the sun. We are outdoor people, so are our dog(s), so if it’s nice, you will find us out and about. With our training they do well to stay within our property and listen well if running around the yard. Communicate if your dog(s) need to be leashed (also have a leash line setup between trees to enjoy the outdoors as well). I would hope in any environment that your pets are trained and do well in the space provided or within, please communicate any special concerns, etc. I do have experience with “shock” collars for more so the ‘tone’ button, as we have wildlife and woods surrounding our house, we use this to protect our dogs from our surroundings periodically throughout the year. So I am comfortable using this method to ensure your pups stay safe.

About: I have had a dog since middle school. I had a standard poodle, and now my family has a golden retriever. I have lived with roommates in college with a chocolate lab and a rescue puppy. I am currently in my hometown for the summer months and looking to earn a little money before grad school. I love dogs and have a lot of experience with a multitude of different dogs due to family, roommates, and friends. I love to go on walks and understand the stress it causes owners to be away from home so long without being able to take their pet out to use the bathroom/walk. I would love to help in that regard! I will have respect for your home and dog’s/your safety. I prefer instructions so I can meet all your requests! Obviously there is a lot of trust needed for this type of work and I want to make sure to respect that.

I’m also an approved foster for a local rescue, so I’m used to having all kinds of furry friends coming in and out of my home. I have experience with shy animals and know how to help a scared pup settle in and feel safe. I hope you’ll trust me to care for your special furry friend! My husband and I work only a few days a week on opposite schedules, so we’re almost always available to be home playing and snuggling our furry friends! We love dogs, so it’s a priority in our days to spend time with them. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs on their level. I’ve worked with extremely under socialized animals, and also dogs that need to be kept separated from other animals, so I have the space to make sure every dog is comfortable during their stay.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Growing up with dogs, I quickly became in tune with their needs and can form a bond quickly! I go above and beyond to make every dog I meet feel loved and welcomed. I grew up with cats, dogs, and horses. I’m currently home with my little boy for the summer so my availability is virtually wide open! I’ll be able to provide walks, pets, and so much more. I have an outdoor kennel with a nice house in it if needed. Otherwise, I can provide a crate inside in a calm environment. My 2 dogs are around to play with your dog as well! If you’re worried about my dogs and your dog getting along, I can separate them-no problem.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, learning from a young age exactly what it takes to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Whether your fur baby needs a high-energy walk, a strict feeding schedule followed, or just some dedicated cuddle time, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm incredibly attentive to their body language and daily routines to ensure they feel right at home. Im currently working a part time job at the hospital so I have plenty of time for your furry friends!! Im available at any time!! I live in an apartment with two of my own fur babies. I have a huge yard out front and back and live in a nice community area good for walking dogs. My apartment is very spacious for any animals coming over and my cats are very friendly and adapted to all types of animals.
About: I have over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. My love for animals started when I was young, walking dogs for neighbors and friends, and it quickly grew into a lifelong passion. As I got older, I volunteered at my local humane society and have continued providing trusted pet care for pets ever since. I have extensive experience working with dogs of all temperaments, including reactive dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs who may show aggressive behaviors. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment for every dog in my care. In addition, I have experience with housebreaking as well as basic obedience training, and I’m happy to help reinforce routines and good habits during your pet’s stay. I have experience with house breaking and basic obedience training. I work part time from home which gives me a lot of flexibility to do what I’m most passionate about which is taking care of animals!
About: Since day one, I have always had a dog in my life. A cat in my adult years and a few other critters throughout the years. They are all family! All my dogs have always been a big part of my life and I care for them deeply. Family/Friends have trusted me to care for their pets when needed. I am always happy to lend a helping hand, or a lap to cuddle on, an arm to throw a ball, or even lacing up those tennis shoes for a walk. I currently have a “teenager” (6 year American Staffordshire Terrier… major cuddles, playful, very sensitive stomach) and recently our senior Luna past over the rainbow bridge. I am patient and have energy for any requirement you may need while your babies are in my care. Working from home, I am quite flexible most days. I am an early riser and stay up late. So feedings, playtime, bathroom breaks, etc is not an issue for me. We have 5 acres of unfenced land to run around in. I also have a very large fenced Garden the dogs are allowed to roam in for off leash fun, as well as a sizeable wrap around deck to chill on and soak up the sun. We are outdoor people, so are our dog(s), so if it’s nice, you will find us out and about. With our training they do well to stay within our property and listen well if running around the yard. Communicate if your dog(s) need to be leashed (also have a leash line setup between trees to enjoy the outdoors as well). I would hope in any environment that your pets are trained and do well in the space provided or within, please communicate any special concerns, etc. I do have experience with “shock” collars for more so the ‘tone’ button, as we have wildlife and woods surrounding our house, we use this to protect our dogs from our surroundings periodically throughout the year. So I am comfortable using this method to ensure your pups stay safe.
About: When I was little I used to rescue dogs from the street and take them home to bathe them and feed them. My mom helped me find them a house or sometimes we stayed with them. I know the importance and respect they deserve. I work and take care of my house, currently I don't have any time to invest in anything other than that. That's why I'm currently quitting my job to try something more different. I will only walk dogs, I live in an apartment so for the moment no animals can enter. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
About: I have been helping my friends and family take care of their fur babies, I love animals and take care of them as if they’re my own family member. I’m a stay at home mom that is willing and able to help others when I am available. We enjoy being outside any kind of weather. My home is set up for taking good care of any dog. I have a good system to take care of any dog. If they have a lot of energy, I have a pup that loves to play, but can seem aggressive when someone new is in her territory, but warms up quickly. I’m a very active person myself and get outside no matter the weather!
“Kelsey, is amazing and how she is working with Latte is truly wonderful. Latte is a barker since she has started walking 2 times a week Kelsey her barking is getting so much better even though Latte still barks at Kelsey when she knows it is time for her walk she is wagging her tail and body so I think she really likes Kelsey and so do I”
About: I have always had a love for dogs, ever since I was little. I will provide the best care for your dog, while making it comfortable and fun for them! I've had dogs and many other animals all my life and know exactly the care they require (including a hedgehog, bearded dragon, bunnies, and fish) I also raise mallard ducks, which has nothing to do with dogs, but I have doctored them up from some pretty gruesome injuries, as well as when my own puppies are injured, I make it my first priority to take special care of them and give them the love and tender care they need! I have a lot of experience with large dogs, and handle them very well, as well as small dogs. I work part time at the hospital, so I do work every third weekend and a couple days during the week. The days during the week that I work depend on if I worked that weekend or not. So check my calendar and it will be up to date as far as availability! I like to make the dogs (or cats) feel right at home. I want them to feel comfortable around me and safe. I will take very good care of them and make sure they have everything they need. We will make sure to have fun too!
About: *Note I go by Danny, but Rachel is my legal name. And then my partner Morgan sometimes helps me out on my visits. About me: I have taken care of cats all my life, and when it comes to dogs I've babysat more than I can count. I love them all. I can handle gentle types. Even loud ones. Let me know if they need special commands or to be talked to. I love to talk personally with the animals and just be with them. :) This is my primary job for now, so I would be available whenever YOU want. I also work with my 3 lovely cats on a daily basis. If I have your pet at my home, they will mostly be just for walks. We could sit and watch TV at home, or maybe learn something new? I like to grow with the animal.

About: Hi! My name is Rachel, and I’m based in the Saint Cloud area while attending the College of Saint Benedict. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I have a sweet 1-year-old Maltese mix puppy named Crunch, and before him, I had another Maltese who was a beloved part of my family for nearly 12 years. I’m currently on a pre-vet track with the goal of attending veterinary school in the future. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets—whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, or just keeping them company while they're away. I also volunteer at the local humane society, where I’ve gained valuable experience with dog walking and general animal care. On top of that, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to do veterinary work abroad, further strengthening my skills and passion for animal health and well-being. I have plenty of free time during the summer, which allows me to offer flexible and consistent care throughout the week—whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. During the school year, I’m still available most evenings and weekends for pet care. In a client’s home, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, regular walks, fresh water, and lots of play or cuddle time, depending on their needs and personality. I also take the time to follow any specific routines or instructions you provide.

“Caitlin did a beautiful job with Murphy, our rescue boy. He gets nervous when strangers come over so we brought him to her house. She had a nice room for him to relax, a big fenced yard in the country and a calm, positive demeanor. He has not been sat by anyone but family, but we will definitely be taking Murphy to her again. She even gave us fresh-caught Alaskan salmon to bring to our daughter, who had just had a baby. Hoping she becomes a regular part of Murphy's life! We highly recommend her.”
“Kajae and Emily were great hosts for gigi. They sent me updates with pictures that gave me peace of mind that gigi was happy. There dog sage was great fun for gigi.”
“Hartley and Pretty Girl had a wonderful stay! Jessica and her family were very accommodating. They helped our anxious pup adapt to being away while letting our social pup play with the other dogs in the home. We will definitely be back!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a 4 year old Black Lab named Bear, and before him I had Coco, a Black Lab/Golden Retriever mix who was part of my family for 7 wonderful years (adopted at 8 and had her until the Rainbow Bridge). Caring for dogs through every stage of life has given me experience with everything from energetic young dogs to senior pets with changing needs. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and neighbors while they’ve been away on vacation, providing dependable care, exercise, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe and well cared for when you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and would love to help give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with good company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m already used to planning my day around walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and giving my own dog the attention he needs, so adding another furry friend is something I truly enjoy. Because I’m home for most of the day, pets won’t be left alone for long periods and can receive plenty of attention, companionship, and bathroom breaks. I also enjoy being active, so walks and outdoor time are a regular part of my routine. Whether your pet needs lots of play or prefers a quieter, relaxed environment, I’m happy to match their routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a friendly 4-year-old Black Lab, Bear, who has a gentle temperament and no history of aggression. He enjoys meeting other dogs and has always done well with them, but I’ll always prioritize slow, safe introductions based on each dog’s comfort level. I also have two children who have grown up around animals and understand that pets deserve respect, space, and gentle interactions. They know not to disturb dogs while they’re eating, sleeping, or if they want time to themselves. Any interactions with your pet will always be supervised. I believe every pet is unique, so I’ll follow your instructions closely to help maintain their normal routine and make them feel safe and at home. I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own.
“Sydney was easy to work with. She had a large fenced backyard where my dogs got to run. They were very tired after pick up so I know they were well exercised which is great for my pups!”
“Great Experience! ? This was first time my dog stayed with Ashley and Eric & family. We met at the dog park prior to the 2 night stay to ensure that we were a good match for each other. I received numerous photos of Wynnie during her stay. Both Ashley and Eric were very accommodating. I will definitely use their services again!”
“My experience with Crystal M. Was wonderful. I was kept updated through photos and texts. I would definitely recommend her services, and I will definitely be a repeating customer.”

“Jill and her family took great care of my dog. She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up. She sent me constant updates and pictures which was very nice and reassuring as I was away. She took the time to understand my dog’s personality and needs. My dog was very cheerful after the time spent at Jill’s and her family (including their cute dog). Would Definitely recommend!”
“Grace was absolutely amazing while she watched our dog! From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. Grace kept us updated throughout the stay with regular messages and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She truly welcomes your dog as if they were one of her own, and it's clear how much she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. She is incredibly professional, kind, and trustworthy, and we never had to worry for a second. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for exceptional dog care. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Loved working with Ashley, she always kept me up to date on how my dogs were doing, she took the time to understand the needs of each of them personally. She had an amazing set up in her garage so each dog had their personally space. Wonderful fenced in yard for them to be safe while having a place to have fun. Definitely would book with Ashley again.”
“Thomas and his family welcomed my little dog into their home. He was well cared for and I felt informed and comfortable with his communication for our vacation. I definitely will have Milo come again. Thank you for taking such good care of our dog.”
“I can't say enough about Amanda! We felt so good leaving Jojo with Amana and Bailey for 5 days! What an enjoyable vacation we had knowing our fluffball was so well taken care of. THANK YOU, AMANDA!”
“Shiloh was crying with anticipation when we were 2 blocks away...He runs in the house and paces by the door waiting to see Aspen and Koda....He couldnt have cared less whether i stayed or left...which actually is a great feeling and an indicator of how comfortable he is at Sara's house. we get pictures and updates which is wonderful and we pick up a happy well cared for dog.”
About: I've been caring for animals since I was in 6th grade when I'd regularly animal sit for one of my neighbor's Bernese Mountain Dog, 3 cats, and 2 bunnies. Since then, I've become a dog trainer and can deal with a wide variety of dogs, including dogs with additional care needs. I'm an AKC evaluator and I spend my free time competing with my dogs in a variety of sports! I take special care and pride in the animals I care for. I believe that a well exercised pet is going to be an easier companion and leads to a much happier family life. I have 3.5 acres for your pet to romp around. This will include things like loose leash walking, distraction training, and more. Mental stimulation will tire your dog out faster than physical stimulation so this exciting mixture will leave you with a very happy pup! Of course, if you prefer no training, I'm happy to go along with what you prefer! Lastly, I try my best to create the best relationship with the animals I care for. This means I want your furry friend to love me as much as I love them. I prefer to meet your pet and at least one owner of your pet before continuing into a service. This isn't a requirement, but a strong preference. Especially for extended stays. I work hybrid so I spend 50% of business days working from home. On the weekends, I don't have to go in-office. My entire life revolves around my dogs and adding your pet into our routine will be an easy transition! I have an unfenced yard on 3.5 acres. I have 5 of my own dogs. My dogs will crate and rotate indoors with your pet depending on their needs. I prioritize putting dogs together that I'm confident will get along. All of my dogs are friendly and play together easily. I can also put your dog on a separate schedule so they're not interacting with any other pets during their stay.
About: My love for animals goes well back to when I was 4 or 5 and I was in charge of letting our neighbors dog out while they were on vk. (my mom was really there ;)) I always loved the 2 cats we had I'm sure but my love started growing for all animals when I took on that letting the neighbors pets out. Through highschool I volunteered when I could at the animal shelter a couple cities over and dreamed about owning my own training and boarding facility when I graduated. Well life pushed me into college and a career and 10 plus years later here I am with a degree I don't want a career in.... I'm going back to my dreams and would love for your dogs to be a part of the start of it! I have 3 fur babies of my own a cat and two dogs! All three rescues and loving life! Any questions feel free to reach out! Cant wait to meet everyone! I currently work Monday through Friday 8 to 5 as an intake coordinator for a hospital from home. My love is animals so all my spare time goes to fostering and volunteering for ruffstart along with taking care of others furbabies. All pets deserve lots of love but discipline when needed. I believe in positive reinforcement but some pups need a little more guidance and a shorter leash than others.. I plan on following owners directions and requests but offer guidance if wanted or needed. If all you want me to do is let your fur babies out and spoil them rotten I would absolutely love doing that! For boarding and doggy daycare I have an older resident dog so we can only take laid back submissive dogs for now. We do habe the capability to separate if she needs a break. We have a big Shepard mix that loves to play with everyone at only 3 years old!
“I’m very new to this pet sitting thing but I think overall it seemed to go okay. I needed to board her due to a move. Skye is busy checking out the new place. I would use her again for sure.”
“Our Gus came home happy and well cared for. We got lots of updates on him which we really enjoyed. Gus came home with an excellent “report card” from Renee, which was a super cute touch. Thank you for taking such good care of our baby 😊”
About: Hello, I grew up on a farm and have lived with animals all of my life. I have cared for kittens, puppies, goats, cattle and chickens. I grew up with Aussies and am currently very active with our dog, Rylee - although I am a cat person at heart. I would consider myself an animal person through and through. My significant other also has a huge heart for animals. Our three pets are the center of most of what we do. I work in office Monday to Thursday each week. I am off each Friday and am available most weekends. My significant other, Brandon, is my partner in this and he work from home all week. Your pet would have his company and care while I work in office! We live in a spacious, two bedroom apartment. There are sidewalks and a paved walking path near our apartment that we frequent. We are also discovering local parks! Our complex offers a fenced dog park. I feel exercise is highly importantly for furry friends. Our apartment is clean and quiet. We give dog treats to Rylee (our dog) often. Our pets receive lots of love and yours can expect this too! We have two cats in our apartment too - Maggie and Frankie. Frankie loves dogs with her whole heart and Maggie typically keeps her distance while we pet sit.
