“Jennifer took wonderful care of my dog while I was away, and I really appreciated how attentive and communicative she was throughout the stay. She sent daily updates, checked in about any concerns, and was very thoughtful when my dog didn’t want to eat the first day — which is normal for her in new environments. I also appreciated the time she took to have us come over beforehand so we could meet her and her dogs and make sure it was a good fit. She was responsive, caring, and clearly experienced with dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would absolutely recommend her to others.”
“Drew was very responsive. He also was very understanding about a new allergy complaint for my dog which required Benadryl and ointments, which he was gracious enough to administer during her stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“Great setting on a farm in rural Lake City. Lovely place for Luna to spend a few days running around and exploring :) Communication was frequent and picture updates were fun and appreciated.”
“Wow!!!! Honestly I am extremely thankful for this amazing family that took care of my scared shy dog! They constantly sent pictures and videos with updates! They made my dog feel right at home. I would definitely recommend them. Your dog will be in the best hands”
“David was great to work with and we felt very comfortable leaving our pup in his hands. He consistently communicated with us providing updates which gave us peace of mind that Bo was in good company & care.”
“Miranda and her home have been an incredible experience and home away from home for our dog. We are grateful for her special care and attention. Her communication is top notch!!”
“I wished we had more time to talk about how our 2 dogs were for her but they were too excited. This is our first time going out of state for a week and having to put them in a kennel/Rover. That’s why I chose Rover because of the options to get pictures and videos while I was gone. Would definitely go to Stacy again!”
“Erin, Brandon, and kids took such good care of Poppy. They kept in close communication, and even sent pictures! Poppy was well loved and cared for while with them and came home a happy dog! Thank you!”
“Michelle was fantastic with Juniper. Juniper is a super nervous dog and Michelle was very patient with her. Gave me plenty of updates knowing how nervous I was. Will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Jasmine was awesome! I got pictures and regular updates:) you can tell that jasmine cares about your pet, I wasn’t worried about Alfie at all well he was in her care!”
“I had a great experience leaving my 2 dogs with Donna. One of my dogs is older and anxious but she took excellent care of him. She has a big yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and get exercise. I loved that she sent pictures and updates every few days while I was gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Linda is amazing. She sent us pics and videos every day. Tango had a back yard and a couple of friends to play with. He was never left alone or put in a kernel. Linda was very thoughtful to invite us over for meet and greet before we left him for a week. Will definitely work with her again!”
“Brooke did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Bruno. He’s a large German Shepherd and can be pretty anxious in new situations, but she handled him with patience and care. She clearly knows what she’s doing and took extra time to make sure he was comfortable. She also kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again.”

“Aly did a great job looking after my kitty Paprika. Wonderful daily updates, plants watered, mail collected, and everything tidy just as I left it. Would definitely book again!”
“We’ve worked with Britteny for the past two years and she’s been great. Our cats are comfortable with her, and I always feel at ease leaving them in her care when we’re away. She’s also administered oral steroids to our asthmatic cat, which has been a big help. Reliable, kind, and good with cats. Highly recommend!”
“Lindsey was absolutely wonderful! She visited us before our trip to meet our cats and go over their routine, and we were immediately impressed by her friendly and caring nature. Both of our cats warmed up to her right away—even our more reserved one, which says a lot! When we returned home, the cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful to Lindsey and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”
“This is the second time Alison helping with our cats, bearded dragon and fish. She even helped with an unexpected cat accident and cleaned up for us. We will definitely work with her in the future.”
About: I provide dog/cat sitting in your home. I just spent a week at a lady’s home watching her two dogs. One had an energetic personality and the other had three Legs! I helped him jump on the bed, walk down the stairs, and go for walks. I also pet sat for my friends mom. She has three dogs. All different sizes. I played fetch, made sure I got to her house on time to let them out, and fed on the desired times. I’ve also watched A Doberman, two border collies, one corgi, one Gordon setter, and last but not least an Aussie spaniel mix all in the same house. They were full of energy but very well mannered. I can give diabetic dogs shots as long as they behave. I also have experience with incontinent dogs and wheelchair dogs. I’ve watched horses, cats, goats, small animals including rabbits, geckos, chickens and fish. Please consider me for pet sitting your fury animals. I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you
“We are so happy to have had Shurie come by to visit with our cats this weekend. So nice to be able to get away and know that your family is in good hands. We so appreciate Shurie!! She is so nice, and the cats loved her. Thank you so much Shurie, we thank you very, very much!!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life, both big and small! I've helped take care of my family dogs since I was 7, and been working with dogs beyond my family for 2 years. I have experience working with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with disabilities. Your pup will never be wanting for affection! I'm working full-time during the week, so I am available for house sitting on weekends. I am available for dog walking and play dates during the weekday evenings and weekends. I can provide your fur baby with the bathing, brushing, medicating, exploring, and loving that they need to thrive. I have a small, friendly pup of my own who can play with your dog, and a car that can take them to the dog park if desired. Otherwise, I'm more than happy to provide them every comfort of their own home.
About: Most of my experience from taking care of cats has come through adopting them as family pets. Like dogs, I have had a cat around the house my entire life. Currently I have one male cat named Lubrae. He is an absolute sweetheart! Though my experience with cats is not as much as it is with dogs, I still love to work with cats! I can do any routine cleaning like cleaning the litter box that is needed too.
“Mikaela was amazing! She sent me updates and pictures of the kids every time she checked in on them! Leaving the kiddos for vacation for tough but it really calmed my anxiety knowing that Mikaela was watching the kids for us. We will for sure, use Mikaela’s services in the future!”
About: I have 5+ years of experience caring for cats at a veterinary clinic. I also have experience taking care of my cousins' 3 cats while they are away. Medications are no problem! My dog is diabetic, so I know how to administer insulin shots if needed.
About: I have had dogs all my life and have been regularly house sitting for family friends for at least 5 years now. I am familiar with older dogs who have special needs and also am good with puppies! I have a part time job as a waitress which usually takes up 15-20 hours of my week and only 4-5 hours a day. I I absolutely love animals, even farm-sat a few times! My dogs are small with plenty of energy so I try to have them outside as long as the weather lets me. Since they are small I am cautious to take them to the dog park. If I sit for a larger dog with experience being at the park I have no problem taking them for an hour or so. I actually enjoy seeing all the dogs play.

“Pennie Rose had a perfect day with Jess and her family. Jess sent pictures and updates while Pennie played and settled in on Jess’s husband’s lap. 😊. She came home very happy and stress free! It’s so nice to go away and know your pet is also having a fun experience! This sitter is perfect 10!”
“Matt and Angela took great care of my dog Osi! Osi and their dog, Alfie, had so much fun together. Osi is definitely looking forward to his next play date. Highly recommend Matt and Angela!”
“Thank you so much for your care for Autumn! We couldn't be happier. It's clear that you genuinely enjoy the dogs you watch and it means so much to know our fur baby was well cared for. We will definitely ask again! 💜😊”

“Tina went above and beyond. I was very impressed with how attentive she was both in making the plans and handling my puppy. I know he’s an energetic handful but she and her pups were a great fit for him and I’m so grateful. 5 enthusiastic stars.”
“First time at doggy daycare for our 7 yr old Chi mix - both he and our puppy were well cared for and arrived home this evening tired snd happy. Knowing they were safe made our time away worry free! Thank you Stacy for a great experience.”
“Andria's family and dog are all very friendly towards my puppy. Nori had a blast there. He got home and fell asleep within 30 minutes, so I didn't have to spend a lot of time playing with him in the evening:) Andria also captured a few great photos of Nori running in the snow with his new friend. Love the photos!”
About: Relocated here from Iowa. Enjoy working with different dogs. Pet lover. I completed 6 months of Veterinarian Assistant classes online. Life happened and I had to take a pause. But I am thinking about going back and finish obtaining my associates degree in the field. So whether it be house sitting with the animals or simply doing some walking or activities, I don't mind and will enjoy my time with them. Its something I enjoy as one of my hobbies. I am available during the week days. Every other weekend I work night shift at this time. I enjoy play time with pets because they too have different personalities. Love Dogs. We cuddle mostly and play. Take walks outside. Play fetch with their toys. It's cool to go to the backyard and be socialable with nature. I think it helps with sensory awareness.
“Jess was wonderful, very easy to work with and very responsive to messages! Marley seemed to have a great time and we loved getting picture updates throughout her stay!! I would highly recommend Jess and would book her again!”
About: I work from home. I have a small backyard and a park nearby with a walking path. I have 3 children who are good around pets. We have one dog of our own who is a 70lb, 12 year old female. My experience comes from my own pets and checking on friend’s pets while they are away. I am available in the mornings before work, can be flexible about lunch and breaks to leave and check on pets and end my work day at 5 (Mon-Fri). If I go into work, it is often on a Wednesday and my parents come check on my dog while I am away for the day. My home: I have a fenced yard, 1 older dog, and gates in the house to keep the dogs on the main floor. I do not have a crate or dog toys. My dog prefers long walks, scratches and a good nap. My dog is a large poodle breed.
“This was Chance’s first time at daycare/boarding. He seemed to have a wonderful time. Ben and Jennifer kept in touch and sent videos. They were easy to talk with. Chance came home and slept all night.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my family's and friend’s dogs for about 5 years now and would love the chance to care for more! I will care for your fur babies like they were my own! ❤️🐾 I’m currently a stay at home mom. All my kids are in school, so my 3 year old yellow lab is my only child home during the day! I have plenty of time to give lots of love and attention to your dogs. I have a fenced in backyard and a friendly yellow lab who loves to play with other dogs. I enjoy going on walks and playing outside with dogs but also love to snuggle on the couch with them too!
“I absolutely loved my experience with Andrew. My husband had major surgery and our Winnie got a little stir crazy at the hotel. Andrew treated her with such love and care. He treated her like one of his pack members. I have never left my dog with anyone but family before so I was a little nervous. After a couple pictures and texts from Andrew I could tell he had been spending quality time with Winnie and knew her quirky personality. We have to come to Mayo Clinic often for testing and I will not hesitate to use Andrew's services again!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
“Megan was phenomenal from start to finish. Communication was ultra clear and I know our puppy Micaiah was very well taken care of. She thoroughly enjoyed the company of her 9-month-old black lab. We will definitely be hitting up Megan in the future. Highly recommend!”

We have had big german shorthairs, as well as miniature schnauzers so I’m accommodating to any size dog, and can easily take care of them. I’ve just returned from school abroad and am back looking for a full-time job but in the meanwhile will be petsitting/walking/etc. whenever is asked of me. I have a pretty free schedule, so most any booking should work. I would be super considerate of any rules applied by the owners whether in the clients home or mine. I just have a lot of fun bonding and playing with animals, so I’m happy to perform all pet care servcies.
“Lindsey was the best dog-walker we could ask for... We have a spirited labrador retriever, and she handled him beautifully, safely and timely. I always received pictures, video and a status report with every walk. I would recommend Lindsey to anyone seeking a reliable dog walker.”

I've always adored animals and have two dogs of my own, one calm and one who requires lots of exercise, so I've got a wide range of pups in used to!

My pups get into everything if left alone so I'll be sure to always be present for anything your animal needs, and any extra support they may need.
“Devon has always taken great care of our dog, and she has been flexible with last minute schedule changes. She has boarded our dog in her house and given regular walks. Highly recommend!”
“Hound has been great with our dogs and they seem relaxed and happy when we get home. Manages the needs of our very old husky and young border collie mix very well so they both get the attention and exercise they need.”
About: I have cared for everything from puppies to senior dogs as well as cats, small mammals (guinea pigs, hamsters, etc), and lizards. Each animal has such personality that I am excited to learn. During the school year (September-May) I am available evenings and weekends. During the summer (June-august) I have way more flexibility and can work with your needs. I unfortunately cannot take care of any fury animals in my home due to my family members allergies. However, I will follow whatever guidelines you may have.
