“We left our 1 year old Rottweiler with Crystal and Brandon for a long weekend and received pictures and updates daily. He seemed very happy and didn’t miss us at all. It was good to know he was in good hands!”
“Jessica was super easy to work with. We received pics and quick updates each night and the doggies were always outside, looking like they were having a blast! We don't need to board our dogs often, but I'll absolutely be checking with Jessica first before looking at any other options. 🙂”
“Brandy and Chad did an amazing job watching our dog Otto! In every photo it looked like he was having such a good time. Will definitely be bringing him back the next time we need a Rover.”
“Bruce loves K9 Country Club so much! Sophia and Travis sure seem to love him too. We love all the pictures they post for us during playtimes. Knowing how happy he is makes us much more comfortable when we travel somewhere that he can’t go with us”
“Marie and Mark took great care of my extremely attention needing Basset hound. Sent lots of updates and treated her so kind. Would highly recommend them to watch your pets.”
“My shy dog Indy loved Becky and her family. Indy had a great time and I appreciated the updates Becky sent with photos. Indy will definitely be back to hang out with this great dog sitter!”
“My dogs were given lots of love. While gone, I received many updates and photos. My "nervous nellie" puppy was relaxed while I was gone, which made my time gone, that much better. Hannah also took my pups at a moments notice, when I really needed help. I was so appreciative. I highly recommend Hannah for your animal needs.”
“My two miniature schnauzers had the most wonderful time at Tammy & John’s home away from home. They were cared for so well, felt kindness and that feeling of safety you want your pet to feel while you’re away. Tammy sent many pictures so I knew my dogs were doing well and having a fantastic experience in their home. I would highly recommend!! Thank you so much for caring for Ice and Minnie! They will definitely be back.”
“Roxy LOVES getting to hang out with Corrie, Daniel, and the kids. She gets lots of snuggles and play time, and loves to go for her walks. Corrie and Daniel do a great job of keeping us updated while we’re gone.”
“We could not have asked for a better first experience finding care for our dog . Rebekah and her husband were so personable and seemed genuinely excited and happy to host our Nelly. Rebekah sent updates throughout the stay along with pictures . We will definitely hire her again ! Thank you for taking such good care of our furry family member!”
“Candace and Jeremy were amazing. This was my first time boarding my dogs, and they tend to be quite annxios. Hearing they did well, had a great time and were so well cared for makes me so happy. Highly recommend them!”
“Kayla was great! Very easy to work with and excellent communication from start to finish. We did a short meet & greet before boarding our dog with her as this was our first time boarding him in someone else’s home, and so that he could meet her pup. I would recommend her to anyone, and hope to board with her in the future!”
“Talishia did an amazing job with my puppy! My Nova was having an absolute blast in the fenced in yard with Talishia's dog when I went to pick her up, her dog was very sweet about my puppy being a high energy (and a bit chaotic) playmate. Absolutely great experience, I feel like Nova was well cared for and was given plenty of attention :)”
“Brandi and her family were fantastic ! London was very comfortable with them and they were very understanding with a mix-up with pick up time. We will definitely use them again!!!”
“Alexandra did a wonderful job. Very responsive to text messages and provided daily updates. Her residence has plenty of space for dogs to run and have fun. Definitely going to book with her next time we need a sitter. I felt very comfortable that our dog was in good hands.”
“I don't think Ruger wanted to come home. If that doesn't tell you how kind, loving and dedicated she is - not sure what will. Being new to Rover we were very nervous - nope - not anymore. Ruger was loved, well taken care of, brushed, slept where he was most comfortable, and even made new canine friends. Kayti went way over and above our expectations! There is absolutely no question in our minds that we will without a doubt use her service again. We are so pleased we would even volunteer a verbal referral if needed. Kayti - we can't begin to tell you how thankful we are for you - makes us want to go on vacation again - very soon as we know Ruger will be just as happy to see you again! Thank you so much - Steve, Alice & of course Ruger”
“Amanda was great!! She was very accommodating with us for drop off and pick up times.Shr was great at making sure our dogs routine was kept. Would definitely book again!!”
“My two little girls seemed to have had a ball. I have been very apprehensive about leaving them with anyone after losing my little Olivia nearly 2 years ago to a thief who took her out of a friend's backyard while she was watching her for me. The communication and pictures really helped to put me at ease. I will definitely be using them again.”

About: I have been walking dogs for 3 years. The dog I currently walk is a Golden Retriever with a lot of energy! I have also walked other large dogs as well as small dogs. I currently walk a dog every morning Monday through Friday, and 2 small dogs as needed. We enjoy going for walks and to the dog park if requested. We have gone on car rides to different parks for walks as well as walking in the neighborhood. I love the time I get to spend with the dogs. Dog walking is what I do. Every day Monday through Friday I walk a Golden Retriever. After that I am open to taking on more walking or drop in visits. When going to clients homes I am always careful to be sure to lock up the home after our walk. I check to be sure that there is adequate water. I am respectful of others private space and leave things as I find them. I give treats if requested. On hot days we can keep walks shorter if requested. I will also brush your dog if you request this.
“Rebekah was attentive, responsive, kind and loved our pet like she was her own while we were away. We appreciate the great service provided so that we had no worries!”
“Arianna took very good care of my two dogs when she stopped in each day. It was a relief to know that they were able to get outside and run around for a bit. I would absolutely recommend her services!”
“Mckenzie was very organized, setting up a pre-sitting visit to discuss all aspects of Tom's care. She was excellent with providing well-written updates and clear communication while I was away. I know Tom appreciated having Mckenzie as a sitter. I will certainly use Mckenzie's services in the future if I will be out of town!”
“Hannah was everything we needed!! We hired her to come in June but last minute asked if she was available and she was. We weren’t able to meet before but I sent her videos on what to do and it went so perfectly! Can’t wait to have her back in June!”
“Lance and Coco immediately bonded. Coco trusted her and I felt comfortable leaving her in Lance's care. Lance followed all my instructions. I would recommend Lance to anyone.”
“Lauren did a fantastic job taking care of our cat. She is a super communicator and provided wonderful updates on her visits. Lauren also managed to get our rather hesitant kitty to come out of her shell and play - which is very rare! Thanks Lauren. We look forward to working with you again!”
“Tara was all around great. She communicated well, took great care of my home and my cat. She was very responsible and very loving for my kitty. I’ll definitely plan to work with her in the future.”
About: I have raised several dogs from the time they were puppies. I have done obedience training with all of them. I truly enjoy the loyal companionship of a dog. I am currently on SSDI, so I am retired. I do have a karaoke DJ business, but that usually only takes me away one or two nights a month. I currently have a French bulldog who is fixed and he is very friendly with other dogs. I also have two cats, but I have the ability to separate them from the rest of the house.
About: I've had my own cat(Tsuki) for almost five years now, but before I got him, I would care for a family friend's cats for weeks at a time while they were away, as well as their other pets. I also volunteer at the Eau Claire Humane Society while I'm at college
“Heather was great!!!! She contacted me with problems and sent pictures. She took amazing care of our kitties while we were away. She made a stressful weekend away for us a little easier. We will definitely book her again!!!”
“Very attentive to Mojo. Mojo was very scared and wouldn’t come out of his kennel/carrier, but Thomas tried to get him out with food and toys, lots of patience! He has a very calm demeanor to help calm your pet.”

“Only our second visit but Candace has helped Fern feel so welcome and she is all tuckered out when she gets home which tells me she is having a great time! Thank you Candace!”
“Rebekah was amazing watching our pup and we loved all the pictures she took. Her pup was so sweet and played so well with ours. Rebekah was so easy to communicate and coordinate with!”
About: Hi, I’m Autumn! While I’m new to Rover, I am not new to dogs! Animals have been a huge part of my entire life! At 16, I started working as a kennel assistant at a veterinary clinic. I went on to receive my degree in veterinary technology and dedicated almost 10 years as a tech. Now, I’d love to continue caring for pets beyond the clinic! My husband and I own a 1/2 acre of acre of land in Forest Lake. We have one dog, a senior Shih Tzu named Nala! For the safety of all dogs, I do require they are comfortable being kenneled during times I am away or sleeping. Otherwise, they are free to follow me around the house or even nap on the couch! Caring for animals is my top priority, so I have the flexibility to be home with all pets for the majority of the day, every day! In our home, pets are family! We offer a large lawn to allow your pets plenty of room to exercise. Plenty of snuggles and playtime will be offered along with daily walks as requested/weather permitting. Crating is utilized for safety when pets are not directly supervised (home alone or bedtime). Any other needs? No problem! I know each and every pet has their own unique preferences and needs.
About: Experienced former pet owner with expertise in puppy training and senior care—providing loving, personalized attention that makes every pet feel safe, happy, and at home. Working from home lets me give pets consistent care, attention, and playtime throughout the day, while always seamlessly fitting their needs into my daily routine. My home is clean, secure, and pet-friendly with supervised play, cozy rest areas, and a calm environment to ensure every pet feels safe and loved.
“Sophia was very kind and welcoming of our pup. We received pics and updates throughout her doggy daycare experience. I felt that our dog was well cared for and loved during her stay.”
“Hannah was great with our puppy! Sent photos shortly after I left l, which put my mind at ease since this was the first time bringing him there. He seemed to love her and his time there! Will definitely use her again! She was also flexible with my pickup time as it shifted due to work. Thank you Hannah!”
About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was a child. When married and had kids, we’ve always had dogs and have cared for our dogs in every aspect, walking, bathing, grooming, vet care, etc. Currently we don’t have a pet, but our house is a perfect set up to take care of yours. Currently we are retired. We would have plenty of time to go for walks, play and relax. Our dogs in the past have used our very convenient doggy door into a fenced area for potty breaks. Your dog will be treated like one of our own, getting lots of love and attention during the day and can sleep overnight in a doggy bed or crate whichever is preferred.
“Thomas and his wife Sue are wonderful with my Nala! They were the second people that we did a meet and greet with and I knew immediately it was the right fit. Their dog Ramone thinks that my Nala is his girlfriend and they do get along so well. They run and run all day. When I drop Nala off, she gets so excited and when I pick her up she is still happy to see me. Candace”

About: As animal enthusiasts, your pets happiness and health is our passion! Your pet will receive personalized care and attention just as it does when home with you (no kenneling here). Walks, belly rubs, playing/chasing after balls, brushing, relaxing, all come with no extra charge! We understand how stressful a kennel environment can be on your pet, especially smaller and older dogs. Most often your dog will be the only dog that stays with us when visiting. I take special care in making sure the dogs are compatible. Even though we don't have a fenced in yard, your dog will be personally walked by me many times throughout the day. I know when your dog has gone to the bathroom and not left unsupervised outside for hours (or with other dogs). Why your Pet will love it here: -it's a calm/relaxed home environment, they will feel safe (no stress of other dogs) -they will get LOTS of attention all throughout the day (I'm home all day) and feel loved -same routine as home (feeding, walks, potty breaks) so they know what to expect We are animal lovers so we enjoy pet care, we have 3 cats. We enjoy having dogs visit and stay with us, it gives us the opportunity to help families who need care for their beloved pet and a chance for us to pamper a dog for a few days and enjoy them! We do not have any dogs so it’s most likely your dog will be the only one staying with us, we like calm, low key environments so your dog can be relaxed and feel safe.
About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life. Experience training my own puppy. CPR and medication administration. Gentle and patient with all animals, I build trust first, then a relationship on their schedule. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible and I can be home (in mine or yours) as much as needed/wanted. My time outside the home usually involves dog parks and dog walks with my own pup. In my home I allow visitors to acclimate on their own schedule and according to their comfort. I have a very sweet and social 1 year old dog who loves join me and meet other pups. I introduce the pups in a safe environment and where they are both comfortable, always monitoring for safety and if either needs a break. Your fur baby will get whatever it needs to be happy and safe, whether that is leashed for potty breaks, kenneled if that is your preference, around the clock supervision, etc.
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!
“Kayti was very kind, responsive, and flexible. She sent tons of pictures of my puppy throughout the day and provided frequent updates, which I really appreciated. I always get nervous leaving my 8-month-old puppy with someone new, but Kayti was wonderful and made me feel completely at ease. I could tell my puppy was well cared for and had a great time. Highly recommend!”
About: No matter the breed or age of the dogs I have cared for, one thing remains the same - the love and affection they always share. I have over 25 years of experience caring for families' dogs and sometimes cats. I work remotely full-time from my home and am also able to work full-time from your home with Wifi. I am available to care for your pup(s) any day of the week. I have a large yard and will personally walk your dog in the yard as often as needed with a leash. I am available to take your dog for longer walks at least twice a day. I have a large indoor crate and dog beds if needed.
“Christina took good care of my dogs! I was a little nervous about leaving them, but we met the week before to see her and the yard, so when it was time to leave them there, they went with Christina easily. She walked them and sent me pictures during the day :)”

“Rebekah has been an exceptional dog walker and dog sitter. She goes above and beyond every visit. And she has always been wonderful with communicating. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pup.”
About: With a background as a veterinary assistant, I bring both medical know-how and a gentle touch to every pet I care for. I have plenty of experience working with anxious and nervous animals, using patience, calm energy, and lots of love to help them feel safe and at ease. Whether it’s playtime, medications, or just quiet company, I’m here to make your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home. As a dog mom of two, taking care of pets is just part of my everyday life. From morning walks and messy mealtimes to those quiet cuddle moments at night, I’ve built my routine around keeping my dogs happy and healthy. It’s taught me a lot about patience, understanding animal behavior, and rolling with the unexpected — especially with anxious or high-energy pups. So when I care for someone else’s pet, it just feels like an extension of what I already love doing every day. When I care for a client’s pet, I treat them like one of my own. I stick to their routine, whether that means regular walks, feeding times, play, or just quiet company. I take time to understand their personality and any special needs, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“At first I was a little hesitant at booking her due to a bad review but I listened to my gut and I couldn't be happier! She took care of my baby Archie just how I wished. I would definitely book her again. I'm not sure where the other reviewer is coming from, absolute nonsense. I would trust McKenzie with my baby over and over again.”
About: Growing up on a farm, I developed a deep passion for animal care that led me to participate in 4-H, county fairs, and FFA during high school. After graduation, I spent over three years working at a veterinary clinic’s boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience in administering medications, behavior training, and providing personalized care. I was promoted to supervisor and emergency care assistant, further strengthening my leadership and critical care skills. I believe every pet deserves individualized attention, whether it’s ensuring playtime, administering medication, or offering extra TLC. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing environment where pets feel happy and owners can trust their pets are in expert hands. Since joining Rover in August 2022, I’ve had the privilege of caring for many pets and building lasting relationships with their owners. With a background in veterinary care, boarding, and behavioral training, I bring a wealth of experience to ensure your pets receive the highest standard of care. I offer a range of services, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration, and basic behavioral training (upon request). I’m available for daytime care, drop-ins, and occasional overnight stays on weekdays and select weekends. My flexible schedule allows me to tailor my services to meet your pet’s unique needs. Having worked in the emergency department of a reputable veterinary clinic, I’ve developed an unwavering commitment to animal welfare, approaching each pet’s care with vigilance and attention to detail.

I currently have a French bulldog who is fixed and he is very friendly with other dogs. I also have two cats, but I have the ability to separate them from the rest of the house.
“Sharron does a great job and communicates well with us on schedule adjustments. Fiona my Goodendoodle waits at the door for her to pull up to the house and is excited to see her every walk.”
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals, including Great Danes, so I'm good with all sizes of dogs. Also, I frequently would take care of a family's friends' pets for weeks at a time while they were away, which gave me experience with all kinds of pets. I have a pretty flexible schedule as my job is mainly afternoon/nights during the weekends. So I have plenty of time to love and care for your fur babies during the week. I do many things to ensure your pets safelty, for example, when I'm taking your pet out to the bathroom, I always make sure that I can see them at all times; if you have a fence, that it is shut and locked; or, if you have some kind of tie-out for them, that they are securely attached. The same goes for when we are walking; I always double-check that the leash is secured to their harness/collar.
“I'm happy to have chosen Joseph to walk my Husky, Maya! He would always show up for our designated time and day to walk Maya, no matter how cold it was. which I really appreciate. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone to walk their dog as I always knew she was in good hands. Thank you Joseph!”
About: I can provide a safe quiet home for your pet to visit when you’re away. I work from home and spend the days with our almost 8 year old boxer mix, Aggie. We love taking walks to the park near our home and we have a small fenced in back yard with a privacy fence. Aggie gets along with almost every dog and will sometimes play. She can be pretty vocal when she plays but is otherwise super quiet. She’s a great role model for younger dogs :) I work from home so I am usually home with the pets for most of the day. We take daily walks when the weather is good. We have a large dog crate if your dog needs. Our yard is fenced in and dogs wouldn’t usually be home alone for more than a few hours.
About: I have grown up with dogs of all kinds throughout my life, so being around animals has always been a natural part of who I am. While I currently don’t have a pet of my own, caring for others’ pets is incredibly fulfilling because it allows me to continue giving love and attention to animals while helping families feel confident their pets are in good hands. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I focus on providing dependable care, lots of attention, and clear communication with updates and photos so you always feel comfortable and connected while you’re away. I work from home full-time, so your pet will have lots of company, love and attention throughout the day—no long lonely hours here. I live in an apartment that has a dog park, and lots of nearby walking trails I go to daily. Since I don’t currently have a pet of my own, caring for others’ pets truly brings so much happiness into our home. I love creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I do everything I can to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident in my care.
About: I lived with 2 cats for a majority of my life. I have experience watching animals for family and friends, looking to meet new best friends. I am currently working full time and going to school part time to earn my master’s degree. Looking for a fun side job to keep life interesting. I am open to having the animals out in the open or crated when not around. Would love to have a yard to play with animals, but not opposed to going to local parks.
About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was 15. My family and friends rely on me to feed, water, and walk there pets. I have my Vet assistant certificate. I have 3+ year of experience in animal care. Let me know if your pet has special need requirementsthat I need to know about. I have delt with that type of stuff before. I am available on the weekends and week days, all the time. I am very flexible when it comes to taking care of your pets. I do have some stuff to do otherwise your pet gets my full attention and love. I cannot provide services in my home as my dogs are not friendly with other dogs. I do provide services in other people's homes if they would like, I will take dogs on car rides if nice out, will treat the dog like it is my own dog.
About: For over 5 years, I've been the go-to pet caretaker for many in my community. From energetic puppies to wise senior dogs, I've had the joy of caring for them all. My experience spans walking, feeding, bathing, and even some basic training. Every pet is unique, and I pride myself on recognizing and attending to each one's individual needs. Whether your fur baby needs patience, energy, or a gentle touch, I'm here to provide it. Balancing a remote job gives me the flexibility and opportunity to dedicate substantial time to pet care. I’m fervent about ensuring our furry companions get ample play and attention. I am open for boarding on weekends, and my weekdays post 11am are entirely devoted to caring for pets. Rest assured, your pets will enjoy ample time of fun and care with me! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I've created a pet-friendly environment, free from hazards and with plenty of play space. All pets have access to clean, comfortable resting spots and fresh water at all times. If I'm taking care of pets in your home, I'm respectful of your space and follow all guidelines provided. My goal is to ensure that whether I'm in your home or you entrust your pet in mine, they are safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I am a full time overnight sitter and walker. Additionally I am Fear Free Certified in Dog Daycare Handling. I have 13 years I spent at the first Daycare/Boarding facilities in MN to become Fear Free certified. I have 9 years in overnight care, to which my clients have become like family. I am constantly educating myself on how to provide the best care for our pets. Outside of work, I am my friends' go-to pet sitter. It's an ongoing joke that I am never alone. Many clients pets have become deeply a part of my friends lives as well. In 2025 I left the daycare, and have been putting all my time into working for myself as a dog walker. My focus is with off leash, fenced in hikes. I’ve also partnered with a local organization called Canine Inspired Change. They train you and your dog to do therapy dog work. They lend me their training space so that I can have my own mini daycare playtime. It has toys, puzzles, and plenty of indoor and outdoor space for the dogs to enjoy. I pick up and drop off, taking no more than 5 dogs. This way I can ensure safety, and attention to everyone. I also have a passion for pet nutrition. I pride myself on being an extremely accommodating person. Very go with the flow! I have experienced a lot wild situations in my line of work, and I feel I am prepared, and knowledgeable in handling all types of emergencies and situations. Even if they are related to not just your dog, but your home. I am also very excited to have completed a Therapy Dog course at Canine Inspired Change with one of my clients dogs! I am excited to be doing therapy dog work with her. After losing my dog of 17 years in 2025, I decided to quit my job and focus on dog care full time. I spend my days taking 1-5 dogs out on fun excursions! We will rent Sniff Spots, go on long leash adventure hikes, backyard play dates with friends, or enjoy indoor playtime at a local training facility that lends me their playroom space. Your dog will have 24/7 care with me, and enjoy all the perks that my mini daycare dogs do. If I stay at your house, I will stay there overnight to make sure I can accommodate all the dogs needs. I can handle any special needs, or medications required.
About: Hi! My name is Ashlie, I live in Brooklyn Park, MN. I live right across from the Coon Rapids Dam, so there are miles of walking trails right outside my door and a brand new dog park just a block away. I have dog sat often for a variety of dogs for about ten years now. I have a 12 year old westie named Merlin. We love hiking and going to dog parks and breweries together. He’s a very social dog and used to being around other dogs. If you need a dog sitter, I can take your dog on several walks and to various parks each day, they will come home tired and happy! Your dog is welcome to stay in my home or we can stay in your home if preferred. I can't wait to meet your furry friend!! Thank you for considering me! Currently I have a lot of availability. Please message me with the dates you need a sitter. I am currently available all week and during spring break. Please let me know if you’re comfortable with me bringing my dog to your house. He does well with other pets and mostly keeps to himself.
About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and raising animals, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and an understanding of different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with animals and my dedication to their happiness, whether that means playtime, walks, or simply giving them the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is already a part of my daily routine. Between feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with my own dogs, I’m used to giving animals structure and attention every single day. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening walks, pets are always the center of my schedule. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space where they feel welcomed as part of the family. I stick to regular feeding schedules, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their routines as closely as possible, whether mealtime, walks, or bedtime, so pets feel secure and stress-free. My goal is to always create consistency, comfort, and trust.
About: Hello! I’m a dog lover and behavior-focused pet caregiver who believes every dog deserves to spend their time being themselves, feeling comfortable, and having fun! 🐶 3+ years of professional experience working with dogs in daycare & boarding settings 🏡 Experienced with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, energy levels, and behavior needs. 🐾 I have dogs of my own, so I understand that every dog is an individual and should be treated like family 🧠 Currently studying dog behavior and training and always learning more 👀 Strong understanding of canine body language and behavior, including recognizing signs of stress, discomfort, excitement, and relaxation 💕 I let your dog lead the way — whether they want to play, sniff, explore, cuddle, relax, or simply have some quiet time 🌿 I believe dogs should have choices whenever safely possible rather than being pushed into activities they aren’t comfortable with 🚫 Fear, pain, and intimidation have no place in my care. I use gentle, positive, and respectful handling with every pet My goal is simple: your dog gets to have a staycation that feels like it was made just for them. 🐾 I’m an online student and a freelancer, so I make my own schedule and I’ll have plenty of time for your furry friend! No need to worry about any schedule restrictions. Safety & well-being always come first — I closely monitor your dog, make sure their physical and emotional needs are met, and give them choices while keeping their safety a priority. I follow any and all instructions to a T and will always keep a close eye on your fur baby.
About: I've had two cats for 10 years. I also took care of a black lab while his owner was at work. I played ball, potty breaks, cuddles & plenty of love. Also pet sit for friends while they were on vacation for a week, cats. I'm currently unemployed at this time and occassionaly volunteer or attend events, mostly for a week or two, out of town. But for the most part, I'm available. I care for pets while the owner is at work and the owner keeps me up to date on services needed. I'm willing to house solely by myself for short or long term periods of time, 1 week up to a month.

“We left our 1 year old Rottweiler with Crystal and Brandon for a long weekend and received pictures and updates daily. He seemed very happy and didn’t miss us at all. It was good to know he was in good hands!”
“Jessica was super easy to work with. We received pics and quick updates each night and the doggies were always outside, looking like they were having a blast! We don't need to board our dogs often, but I'll absolutely be checking with Jessica first before looking at any other options. 🙂”
“Brandy and Chad did an amazing job watching our dog Otto! In every photo it looked like he was having such a good time. Will definitely be bringing him back the next time we need a Rover.”
“Bruce loves K9 Country Club so much! Sophia and Travis sure seem to love him too. We love all the pictures they post for us during playtimes. Knowing how happy he is makes us much more comfortable when we travel somewhere that he can’t go with us”
“Marie and Mark took great care of my extremely attention needing Basset hound. Sent lots of updates and treated her so kind. Would highly recommend them to watch your pets.”
“My shy dog Indy loved Becky and her family. Indy had a great time and I appreciated the updates Becky sent with photos. Indy will definitely be back to hang out with this great dog sitter!”
“My dogs were given lots of love. While gone, I received many updates and photos. My "nervous nellie" puppy was relaxed while I was gone, which made my time gone, that much better. Hannah also took my pups at a moments notice, when I really needed help. I was so appreciative. I highly recommend Hannah for your animal needs.”
“My two miniature schnauzers had the most wonderful time at Tammy & John’s home away from home. They were cared for so well, felt kindness and that feeling of safety you want your pet to feel while you’re away. Tammy sent many pictures so I knew my dogs were doing well and having a fantastic experience in their home. I would highly recommend!! Thank you so much for caring for Ice and Minnie! They will definitely be back.”
“Roxy LOVES getting to hang out with Corrie, Daniel, and the kids. She gets lots of snuggles and play time, and loves to go for her walks. Corrie and Daniel do a great job of keeping us updated while we’re gone.”
“We could not have asked for a better first experience finding care for our dog . Rebekah and her husband were so personable and seemed genuinely excited and happy to host our Nelly. Rebekah sent updates throughout the stay along with pictures . We will definitely hire her again ! Thank you for taking such good care of our furry family member!”
“Candace and Jeremy were amazing. This was my first time boarding my dogs, and they tend to be quite annxios. Hearing they did well, had a great time and were so well cared for makes me so happy. Highly recommend them!”
“Kayla was great! Very easy to work with and excellent communication from start to finish. We did a short meet & greet before boarding our dog with her as this was our first time boarding him in someone else’s home, and so that he could meet her pup. I would recommend her to anyone, and hope to board with her in the future!”
“Talishia did an amazing job with my puppy! My Nova was having an absolute blast in the fenced in yard with Talishia's dog when I went to pick her up, her dog was very sweet about my puppy being a high energy (and a bit chaotic) playmate. Absolutely great experience, I feel like Nova was well cared for and was given plenty of attention :)”
“Brandi and her family were fantastic ! London was very comfortable with them and they were very understanding with a mix-up with pick up time. We will definitely use them again!!!”
“Alexandra did a wonderful job. Very responsive to text messages and provided daily updates. Her residence has plenty of space for dogs to run and have fun. Definitely going to book with her next time we need a sitter. I felt very comfortable that our dog was in good hands.”
“I don't think Ruger wanted to come home. If that doesn't tell you how kind, loving and dedicated she is - not sure what will. Being new to Rover we were very nervous - nope - not anymore. Ruger was loved, well taken care of, brushed, slept where he was most comfortable, and even made new canine friends. Kayti went way over and above our expectations! There is absolutely no question in our minds that we will without a doubt use her service again. We are so pleased we would even volunteer a verbal referral if needed. Kayti - we can't begin to tell you how thankful we are for you - makes us want to go on vacation again - very soon as we know Ruger will be just as happy to see you again! Thank you so much - Steve, Alice & of course Ruger”
“Amanda was great!! She was very accommodating with us for drop off and pick up times.Shr was great at making sure our dogs routine was kept. Would definitely book again!!”
“My two little girls seemed to have had a ball. I have been very apprehensive about leaving them with anyone after losing my little Olivia nearly 2 years ago to a thief who took her out of a friend's backyard while she was watching her for me. The communication and pictures really helped to put me at ease. I will definitely be using them again.”
