“Amy is a great communicator and took wonderful care of our guy while we were on vacation. We received lots of photos of him being both social and snuggled in for a nap. 100% would book again with Amy!”
“My dogs has such an amazing experience, they really felt at home and had lots of space to play with their new friends. I loved receiving all the updates and how comforting and accommodating Bryan and his family were. Will definitely book again!”
“María was great, not only I felt confident that she was taking good care of Guapo but also I knew that he was in a loving home while we were away; she sent several pictures, kept us up to date and was very flexible to update our reservation when our flight got delayed. We will for sure be reaching out to Maria for future dog sitting requests. 🐾”
“Eric and Martha were so sweet to our dog Pluto while we were gone for the weekend! They made him feel like part of the family- he loved getting plenty of cuddles, yard time, and even tagging along for a couple of errands. They treated him like he was one of their own! We loved meeting them and can’t wait till Pluto can have another vacation at their house. :)”
“My dog had so much fun with Promise and her family! Promise sent updates and was easy to communicate with. She took great care of my pet. I will book again with her!”
“Susan and Craig took wonderful care of my pup and I highly recommend for anyone with oral pill administration, anxiety, or minor behavioral issues (herding). Their updates and care put my mind at ease. Thanks again, you two!”
“Alvin had a fabulous time with Elsa and Nick. He learned how to go down stairs and jump onto the sofa. After 2 years I have never been able to teach hi. To see him happily descending stairs was a wonderful shock. It was wonderful to receive pictures, videos and updates daily. Alvin has only stayed away from me twice, and often ignores my visitors. So seeing how much he enjoyed his one on one pampering by Elsa and Nick was wonderful. I will be booking a date in May. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of him.”
“We can’t say enough about Amanda and her family! From the moment we met them, we had that innate feeling that they were good, honest & caring people. Like most dog parents we stress over leaving Bruce - we want him to be safe, well taken care of and loved! Lucky for us we found just that with Amanda, Marcello & their kids! Communication was great- we received multiple daily Bruce updates and photos, & Amanda was always quick to respond to questions. Amanda even sent Bruce home with homemade treats! There is no doubt we will call on Amanda & family the next time we go out of town! Thank you for taking such great care of Bruce!”
“Terrie was amazing again!! She takes such good care of our dogs and they just love it there!! Nothing but good things to say about her. So happy we found her!!”
“Jack always has the best time with Colleen, Joe and Nico! And we always have peace of mind that he is so loved and well taken care of! Thanks again!!”
“We were super grateful to have Jennifer & Cameron take care of our pup while we were out of town. We appreciated the daily updates & were comforted by the pictures of them snuggling & playing with our girl the same way we do at home. Their home was clean & dog-friendly. Good communication & overall great care!”
“Susie was very welcoming and happy to host Archie! She has a great space and is very mindful of each dog's needs. Archie was exhausted after all of the playing. Thank you, Susie!”
“Timmothy is a great communicator! We didn't have a set schedule, and he was easy to negotiate pick-up and drop-off times with. Our daily proof-of-life photos were charming (and impressive, considering our dog is camera averse;). We look forward to working with Timmothy again.”
“I took a "mini" vacation to Florida a couple weeks ago. My Havenees Poodle mix "Jackson" bonded with Judy immediately. All he wanted to do was be around her & beg for attention & belly scratches. Judy followed the meal plan & even took him to Mcdonalds (at my request) so he could have some French ? Fries! He LOVES their fries! Judy would send a picture of Jackson each day & I really enjoyed seeing his smiling face. Judy also has a big back yard for "doggie exercise" There were no issues or concerns whatsoever. When I came back from my vacation, my Jackson was in good health & was wagging his tail. Judy is great. I will definitely ? use her in the future. One word of warning...her schedule fills up FAST! I give Judy 5 out of 5 stars.”
“Erin and Ramon cared for our two little dogs and did an amazing job. They are fully set up in their home to care for little dogs and they are so knowledgeable because of their own dogs. Our older dog can sometimes be slow to eat and they took their time with him and made sure he got what he needed. Our younger dog is terrified of many things and they were kind and patient with all the fireworks over the holiday. We will definitely have Erin and Ramon watch our dogs again. They are great.”
“My pup had a great time with Erin! He is an old man who likes his space and takes a little while to warm up to people, but he warmed right up and Erin kept me posted his whole stay which definitely made me more comfortable!”
“You were amazing. You took care of my baby and kept me updated on your activities. You even agree to keep him for few more hrs due to our fight arriving late. I do appreciate you for going above and beyond for us.”
“Jordan did a great job taking care of our dog! He was communicative, sent photos, and was flexible with our drop off and pick up times. We’ll definitely use him again!”
“Wesley was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Frankie. From the moment I dropped him off, it was evident that Frankie was treated like family and genuinely well cared for. Wesley and his parents have a beautiful home with a secure, fenced-in yard, which made us feel incredibly comfortable. We were able to travel out of the country with complete peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and truly prioritized. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Wesley to anyone looking for exceptional care. I received photos and updates. We look forward to planning our next adventure and rebooking with Wesley!”

“Olivia is the absolute best! We were scrambling to find someone after our old dog sitter moved and she is always so patient with our big guy who can sometimes have stranger danger. I would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone that is needing some help with their pup!”
“Christy is fantastic. She’s so attentive, communicative, and sends plenty of pictures! She helps us feel connected to our pets when we’re away, and goes over and beyond. It’s comforting to know our fur babies are well loved in our absence, from someone who is trustworthy and has good energy. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica has been fantastic and was a great fit for my dog. I needed her for about a month and each day went very smoothly. I would highly recommend her to anyone using Rover.”
“Connie is an incredible house/Cat Sitter. She took care of our kitty like she was her own and did the same with our home.. Every day we got pictures and videos and could tell that Connie was really interacting successfully with our somewhat shy, sweet pet. We could not recommend her more highly! She is a gem!!”
“Crystal was amazing. One of my cats is difficult and Crystal was able to give him medicine! She also brought super cute toys and catnip for the other cat which probably was helpful due to all the fireworks”
“Molly is a fantastic cat sitter! Very responsible and timely! She sent us pictures of our cats which was fun to see and spent time with them. Their food/water bowls were cleaned as well as their litter box. Thanks Molly! We’d like to have you care for our kitties again!”
“Kendra was great! I came home to a cat who had been fed and seemed happy to see me, but not starved for human attention. She sent a lot of pictures and my cat definitely seemed comfortable with her, evidenced by lots of snuggle pics.”
“Teresa did a fantastic job. My cats were happy and well cared for, and I really appreciated the updates during her check-ins, and she even took extra time to sit with my needy cat who really misses getting attention when I'm gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Alexis is so awesome with my kitties! She sends updates and pictures, and is sure to give extra time and cuddles to each of them! I would definitely recommend Alexis for your pet sitting needs!”
“Katelyn has been great helping me out with my dog, Jaxx. She’s reliable, caring, and always makes the process easy for me. Even on short notice, she’s been available and willing to help, which I really appreciate. It gives me peace of mind knowing Jaxx is in good hands. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable dog sitter or walker.”
About: I’m an animal lover at heart. I currently work at a vet clinic as a CSR and have years of experience volunteering at shelters. I grew up with dogs and after fostering many through the Animal Humane Society, finally had a foster fail and met my best friend, Alfie the 7 pound maltipoo. I adore cats, but since Alfie isn’t the biggest fan of them, I don’t have one of my own—which just means that I’d love the chance to love on yours! I have lots of experience dog and cat-sitting for friends when they’re out of town, from daily check-ins all the way up to full house sitting. I currently work at a local vet clinic Monday-Friday, 7am-3pm, and am available most weekends. I live in North Minneapolis but have a car and can travel as needed. I treat your home and yard with the utmost respect and take care with your space and belongings. I realize the trust it takes to welcome someone else into your home and honor that trust by keeping everything neat, clean, safe, and secure.
About: Hello! My name is Andy, and I have many years of experience loving and taking care of all sorts of animals! Over the years, my family has had a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, fish, and bunnies—and we’ve also watched many, many more than that short-term. We are familiar with many types of animals and feel comfortable following your specific instructions for their care. I love animals of all kinds and will treat your pets lovingly with the care you expect and deserve. Spoiling your pet with a lot of love and personalized attention while keeping them safe and secure are my main goals as your pet sitter. I will be as active or relaxed as your dog needs- anything your dog requires for a safe and happy stay, I will gladly provide. I strive to always carefully follow your instructions. I am an animal advocate with extensive animal handlers and training experience. For many years, I have worked as an animal volunteer and foster parent for animals to be adopted. I have a soft spot for dogs of all kinds, and over the years have personally adopted spaniels, terriers, doodles, shepherds, and cats. I promise to treat your pet as if it is my own, play with it, give it tons of attention and love, and make sure it is fed and comfy while in my care. I have cared for my neighbors and friends pets for the past 30 years. I'm known by all as being a loving pet mom. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pet(s) soon! I am available daily for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I have experience training dogs and working with rescued animals. Our family dogs are rescues and fosters, and they were trained and cared for by me. They are now certified therapy animals. Also, I feel comfortable giving medications and caring for older animals or those with special needs. I have experience working with animals that need extra attention or care due to a rough past or neglect. As their foster mom, my dogs are rescues that came from neglectful situations and had to be nursed back to health. Both have undergone amazing transformations and are happy, healthy, loving, and playful now. I’ve taken care of many very small dogs and understand their specific needs intimately, as my family owns a number of small pets—and I’ve taken care of larger dogs and understand their needs and likes too, as I’ve supervised the maturation and training of several larger dogs. Speaking of training—I’m confident with pets of any level of training! In fact, if anything I’m something of a good influence on untrained animals, owing to my experience training animals over the years. Pets, especially clever pets, love to get a command correct and get a treat for it! As far as more “exotic” pets, I’m comfortable with a lot! I think animals are fascinating and love to meet new ones—even in elementary school I was one of the kids who took care of our class animals, including our snakes (a rainbow boa and a constrictor), and our iguana (aptly named “Iggy”)—so I’m not afraid of interesting animal friends! I’ll gladly watch your peafowl or your domesticated fox or your ferret, and I’ll take care of it like it was my own.

We are familiar with many types of animals and feel comfortable following your specific instructions for their care. I have experience working with animals that need extra attention or care due to a rough past or neglect. As their foster mom, my dogs are rescues that came from neglectful situations and had to be nursed back to health. Both have undergone amazing transformations and are happy, healthy, loving, and playful now. We would love to connect with you at a meet and greet or schedule a play date at a park to get to know you. I'm available every day of the week to walk, house sit, or drop-in on your pets. I enjoy playing with and photographing the animals I care for, giving treats, and reinforcing training. I all love animals and think of our pets as members of our family. We will treat your pet as if they are one of the family too, with much love, cuddles, and stimulating play! I am a photographer and used to work at a pet kennel, but recently moved, so I am available daily for any service you require. I will follow any instructions you leave very carefully, and will communicate with you multiple times daily to let you know how your pets are doing. My schedule is flexible and I'm ready to accommodate your pet care needs, and will send you photos of your happy pet as often as you like! I am currently working from home and am able to dedicate a lot of time to care for your pets!
About: I’m a devoted cat owner with experience caring for cats of different personalities and needs. I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of patience for shy or anxious cats. I understand the importance of routine and always provide photo updates so owners can feel confident their cats are happy and well cared for while they’re away.
“Jordan was excellent to work with and took great care of our animals! Jordan asked clarifying questions as needed, communicated well, and ably met our unique needs. We highly recommend Jordan!”
“Shawntil watched our kitty's while we were in Mexico. She fed them, and gave them some needed company. We will be reaching out to her for our future sitting needs. Thank you.”
About: For as long as I can remember I have always had pets in my family and I know they are valuable family members, that's why I believe they always deserve love and care. I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday, so we can welcome you before 7:00 AM or after 5:30 PM; on weekends, we are available all day. If we discuss it in advance, we can make it work. I am flexible with my schedule—let's talk. I have a fenced-in backyard with plenty of space to play and spend time outdoors. I have a dog and a cat; both are very friendly and affectionate, and they are accustomed to interacting with other dogs. There is a park near my home where we usually go for walks as a pack.

About: I've cared for a variety of pet animals over the years, and currently own two cats of my own who I raised from kittenhood, one who was even prematurely removed from his mother. I'm currently doing mostly online schooling so with proper notice I can work with any type of sitting needs, no matter how odd the job. I'm able to board pets of any type, as I have more than enough space to seperate or integrate as your individual pet requires for a comfortable stay! I also have the flexibility to be within your home for any amount of time your pet needs.
“Cleo had a great time with Timmothy!! I loved his updates through the day and he asked many questions beforehand to make sure he understood how to care for her :)”
“Lindsey and her family were so great! They took care of my 5 month old puppy for the day and treated her so well. Gave her lots of play time and walks and sent many updates with pictures. 10/10 would recommend them to take care of your pup!”
About: Hello! I am an animal lover at heart and have an extra special place in my heart for dogs! I have experience caring for dogs since I was little girl. I know how nerve wrecking it can be to leave your pet while you're away and I will strive to provide great care for your dog in order to make sure all their needs are met and beyond. I have a dog and I will promise to treat your dog as my own! I work M-F from home which leaves me with more flexibility for potty breaks and walks as needed for your dog. I can provide pupdates and pictures as often as you'd like to reassure your dog is in good hands! I have a fenced in yard to allow your dog exercise. I am dedicated to providing a fun and safe environment during their stay! I work from home during the day which allows me the flexibility to provide more frequent potty and play breaks for you pup! I can ensure your pup has more attention when needed. There are several walking paths near me to take dogs for walks/potty breaks. I have a fully fenced backyard for play time and exercise. I treat dogs I am caring for as my own.
“Cassandra is awesome! My little guy really enjoys going to her house and hanging out with little Lulu and Tinkerbell! They are all so cute! It's awesome they have a backyard the furry kiddos can enjoy and Cassandra gives him so much love! Thank you for all the wonderful updates and awesomeness Cassandra and family! See you soon!”
“Pamela was great! She welcomed a meeting before dog sitting, and asked care questions. Arlington played well with my dog, and they have a great fenced in backyard for running around!”
About: I keep my home boarding low-key and personalized by welcoming only one dog, or two from the same family, at a time. So your pup will enjoy plenty of one-on-one love, play, and attention in a calm, peaceful environment where they can truly relax and feel at home. Working from home in a dog-friendly condo in Columbia Heights, I’m available all day for frequent potty breaks, companionship, and checkins. There’s no private yard, but there’s a nice shared yard with plenty of green just downstairs for some outdoor time, and we can easily do neighborhood walks. As a former puggle owner, I took care of my little Snuggles all the way through her senior years until she was 13+, so I have experience and can care for dogs at every life stage, including daily care and routine, bathing, training, administering medicine when needed, and handling their specific needs as they get older. I recently had to put my own puggle down, and while I still miss her, I have been enjoying puppy kisses from the dogs I watch, and I love sharing that same attentive care with other pups who need a cozy and reliable place to stay. My setup includes comfortable dog beds, a kennel for secure rest if needed, doggy bowls for fresh water and meals, and soft blankets for cozy napping. If your dog needs someone who’s home constantly and would do walks on a nice day, let’s do a meet & greet! I work from home most days, so I’m available all day for the pups, extra potty breaks, daytime and evening walks, play, and companionship. Once every two weeks, I may be out for a few hours at the office. I’ll coordinate ahead of time, give updates, and make sure your dog is settled. On Saturdays, I’m less flexible for check-in and check-out due to volunteer work (away for half the day). I usually let dogs roam free in the condo. They can follow me everywhere if they want, which most enjoy for that constant company. I can crate your dog if needed (for naps, meals, or if they’re more comfortable that way).
About: I've mostly taken care of dogs and cats, but I'm not afraid to learn to take care of different, unique, pets. I hope to learn a lot! I'm usually available any day of the typical work week after certain times, so feel free to reach out if you want to schedule something! In my home, I watch very carefully over pets. I rarely have a reason to leave the house outside of letting your pets out for a walk or similar reasons. However, if I do need to leave, I will confirm with you that it is alright to do so beforehand.
“Jody takes amazing care of my pup. She is very diligent and caring, and has gone above and beyond for Roma when she has been sick. I trust Jody and continue to bring my dog for regular pet sitting. Jody is great.”
About: I have CPR training, years of caretaking and medication administration experience, and a lifetime of loving on pets of all ages and sizes. Informal pet sitting has also been a part of my routine for many years. I have lots of free time this summer, and have many pockets of availability throughout the school year beginning in September, so I am happy to set up longer term relationships. I have a completely fenced yard, one friendly cat at home, and only a few steps for older dogs to handle. I am happy to follow any crazy routine you and your pet have!
“Great sitter. Very nice and sends pictures and videos throughout the day. Took great care of my dog and he got to play with another dog all day. She took him on multiple walks and to the dog park.”
“Leah was great with my dog. My dog had a fun time playing in her yard with her dog. Leah sent pictures and updates. She even gave him a nice walk. A great experience!”
About: I grew up on a farm and have fiercely loved all the pets I've ever had. I have lots of empathy for pets, especially when they have to be separated from their family. I'm a stay home mom, so pet care fits right into my routine. I'm mostly home 24/7, so I have lots of time to play and cuddle. I have a good sized fenced in backyard. We have two friendly (and sometimes shy) cats who get along well with dogs and other cats.
About: Hi! I’m Noah and I have 15 years of experience with all sorts of dogs. I grew up with dogs of all sizes, from Great Danes to miniature dachshunds. My favorite part of being around dogs is playing with them, seeing their happy faces, and getting to experience nature with them. While I’ve never had a cat to call my own, I have played with and taken care of many cats over the years! I am currently a dog dad to a three-year old energetic dachshund and a German Shepherd mix puppy! I can’t wait to meet your pets! I work from home and am generally available after 4:30pm or before 7:30am, but I can be flexible! I live in an area with access to convenient walking trails and parks. Your pet’s safety, security, and health are my top priorities. I understand the trust you're placing in me to care for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously.
“Kaitlin is AMAZING!! Since I’ve been on Rover, I’ve had 2 amazing sitters and Kaitlin is one of them… she has made my Luna feel at home. My Luna loves her dogs as well and one thing for sure is that when I get my girl gets home she’s all tired out lol. Kaitlin keeps me updated at all times with pictures and text messages. I hope our relationship is forever. Thanks Kaitlin”
“Sarah is great! Dogs were happy and well cared for, even had a long walk. The picture was nice to get in the middle of the day. We’ll keep her on Ge list of sitters for next time”
“Dave is very caring and will love your pet! He has a great back yard with a very tall fence. I have appreciated Doggy Day Care and boarding with Dave. I will be sure to book with him again!”

“Jessica was the dream to work with! She flexed with us when we were dealing with some unknown scheduling details, was so sweet with our quirky dogs, and was so responsive! We will reach out to her for all of our dog care needs in the future. You can feel confident your pups are in GREAT hands with her.”
About: Two years ago, I lost the last of my dogs. Both my German Shepard, Heidi and my Pitbull, China, lived to be 14 and 16 years old respectively. I guess I have grieved so much that I'm not ready to have a dog of my own yet. However, I really do miss having a dog. I love them so much. I think the reason my dogs lived healthy lives is that I was religious about walking them and paying attention to them. I walked them everyday, at least twice per day. Long walks, too. I'm not opposed to walking a mile or so, (an hour walk). I'm also not opposed to picking up poop. I always carry bags with me and I think of it as a responsible dog owner to pick up after your dog. I know how to handle dogs and what to look for should they be stressed when meeting other dogs. Both my dogs were very territorial when it came to meeting other dogs in the park. I took both of my dogs to Dog Obedience classes and I know how to get them out of a situation should they become aggressive when meeting other dogs. Usually, with Heidi and China, I would shorten their leash and pull them far away from other dogs. I was always vigilant and really wouldn't allow strangers to pet them, because I didn't want to take chances that they would bite anyone. I am well-versed with the Minneapolis Animal Control rules, as they are somewhat biased against pitbulls. Depending on whether your dog is leash trained, would be the size dog I could handle. I know that I can handle a dog who is at least 40 lbs. However, if you have a giant dog who is leash trained, I would be willing to walk that dog as well. I currently work as a school nurse M-F. We get summers off, so I would be available everyday at any time after June 5th. During the school year, I can walk dogs in the evenings any time after 4:00. I am willing to take care of your pet in your home. If I am pet sitting during the school year, I will be gone to work from 6:30 - 4:00. During the summer, I can be with your pet 24/7. I may be willing to watch your pet in my home, but I do have a cat and I'm not sure how she will be around dogs.
About: I love dogs, no matter the size, age, or breed, I am determined to be your dogs new best friend! I've been dog sitting for a few years now within my neighborhood, but I started doing it professionally this year. I've always loved animals, so getting to spend time with your beloved pets is such a privilege! I am currently a college student, but I do online classes so the majority of my time is devoted to dogs. I am committed to providing personalized, and loving care around the clock. While your pets are here, I try to maintain their home schedules as much as possible, for example, if they eat at a certain time At home, that's the time they'll eat here. I've noticed that it helps ease the transition between my home and yours. To them, my home is just an extension of their home. I also have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and dogs who may be recovering from illnesses or surgeries. I can administer oral or topical medications and provide cpr if it were ever necessary. If your dog has specific or specialized needs, please let me know and I will ensure I work with you and them to provide the best care possible. My schedule completely revolves around the dogs. As I've mentioned I do online classes so I can adjust my schedule to the needs of your dog. I am very flexible with pick up and drop off times as well. You are always free to adjust times with no extra charge, just send me a message and we'll work out the best time for you. I also do not charge in situations such as a missed flight, illness, or other unforseen circumstances that may require your dog to be in my care for a little longer. My main goal is to always treat your dogs like my own! Everyday I ensure to tell your dogs how much I love them and I try to spend as much time with them as possible. I also have a large fenced in yard where your dog can run and play, during the summer I usually hangout outside with the dogs for a good part of the day. If your dog is social, my dogs love to play and socialize with yours. I have a Golden Retriever and a Havapoo, they're both neutered and very friendly, and Rex my golden is very gentle with smaller dogs. If your dogs prefer to be on their own, I can do staggered outside time and keep them separate, no problem! While we're inside the dogs will usually walk around the house with me, either in my room or following whatever I'm doing. If for some reason they need to be in their own space or if it could be unsafe for them to do that, they will be in the laundry room at times like at night when I cannot fully keep my eyes on them.
About: Dogs have always been apart of my life, as I always had a dog growing up and at one point owned 5 dogs. To me having 5 dogs is no different than having 1, as long as you have enough love to go around. All they want to do is love you and make you happy, so how can you not love them in return. I have 3 dogs of my own right now and enjoy spending time with them. I probably spoil them as they know when I come home with bags that there is more than likely a treat or toy for them. I am available any day and time and have a fenced yard. I am reliable and trustworthy and would treat your dog with care, respect and love.
About: I have CPR training, years of caretaking and medication administration experience, and a lifetime of loving on pets of all ages and sizes. Informal pet sitting has also been a part of my routine for many years. I have lots of free time this summer, and have many pockets of availability throughout the school year beginning in September, so I am happy to set up longer term relationships. I have a completely fenced yard, one friendly cat at home, and only a few steps for older dogs to handle. I am happy to follow any crazy routine you and your pet have!
About: I bring a calm energy and genuine love for each and every dog especially when I have a very hyper/social pug at home. I’m very patient, which helps especially shy or anxious ones—feel relaxed and secure. I focus on routines, attentive to behavior, and keeping your pets comfortable. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to providing loving, consistent care that pet owners can trust. Since moving to Minneapolis and currently having some free time. I have dedicated my time/availability to pet care and sitting at any day and time! For clients home I provide consistent, attentive pet sitting by following their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, daily walks or litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship to keep pets calm and comfortable in their own environment. I also administer medication if needed, monitor behavior for any changes, and ensure water bowls are always fresh and full. I keep the home tidy by cleaning up after pets and respecting your space. Regular updates with photos and messages help keep owners reassured while they’re away.
About: I've had dogs almost my entire life and have been taking care of the dogs of friends and family for the past 11 years. This ranges from absolute cuddle bug Yorkies to energetic labs. I work from 6-3:30 Sunday through Thursday, but making sure that the animals in my care have a regular schedule as best fits around that is key. First thing in the morning I'd be making sure the animals in my care have access to food and water and taken outside to do their business as applicable. Once I get home I recheck food and water needs and take care of their play and exercise needs. I have a fenced in yard and depending on the animal's needs, they can be crated or allowed to roam around the house. The specifics may vary depending on the type of pet and the owner's preferences or special instructions.

“Eric and Martha were so sweet to our dog Pluto while we were gone for the weekend! They made him feel like part of the family- he loved getting plenty of cuddles, yard time, and even tagging along for a couple of errands. They treated him like he was one of their own! We loved meeting them and can’t wait till Pluto can have another vacation at their house. :)”
“My dog had so much fun with Promise and her family! Promise sent updates and was easy to communicate with. She took great care of my pet. I will book again with her!”
“We can’t say enough about Amanda and her family! From the moment we met them, we had that innate feeling that they were good, honest & caring people. Like most dog parents we stress over leaving Bruce - we want him to be safe, well taken care of and loved! Lucky for us we found just that with Amanda, Marcello & their kids! Communication was great- we received multiple daily Bruce updates and photos, & Amanda was always quick to respond to questions. Amanda even sent Bruce home with homemade treats! There is no doubt we will call on Amanda & family the next time we go out of town! Thank you for taking such great care of Bruce!”
“Terrie was amazing again!! She takes such good care of our dogs and they just love it there!! Nothing but good things to say about her. So happy we found her!!”
“We were super grateful to have Jennifer & Cameron take care of our pup while we were out of town. We appreciated the daily updates & were comforted by the pictures of them snuggling & playing with our girl the same way we do at home. Their home was clean & dog-friendly. Good communication & overall great care!”
“Susie was very welcoming and happy to host Archie! She has a great space and is very mindful of each dog's needs. Archie was exhausted after all of the playing. Thank you, Susie!”
“Timmothy is a great communicator! We didn't have a set schedule, and he was easy to negotiate pick-up and drop-off times with. Our daily proof-of-life photos were charming (and impressive, considering our dog is camera averse;). We look forward to working with Timmothy again.”
“My pup had a great time with Erin! He is an old man who likes his space and takes a little while to warm up to people, but he warmed right up and Erin kept me posted his whole stay which definitely made me more comfortable!”
“Jordan did a great job taking care of our dog! He was communicative, sent photos, and was flexible with our drop off and pick up times. We’ll definitely use him again!”
“Sarah and her family took excellent care of Dude. She gave regular updates and sent photos that brought smiles to my face. She gave her extra attention when a storm rolled through… Dude seemed relaxed in the photos she sent too, that says a lot about the care she provided.”
“Jacquie & Kyle were wonderful with our pup!! He got so much exercise and had a ton of fun every day! Always hard to leave our dog but we knew he was in good hands!”
“Dave was great to take care of Zema! He sent regular updates and pictures which is always helpful to know that she is settling in and having a good time. Until next time, Dave!”
“Archie was very comfortable with Maria during our meet up so I knew I had made the right choice in booking her for sitting services. Archie was happy and healthy, and very excited during pickup. After getting rid of his first day jitters, he was right at home. I know Archie really appreciated Maria’s large fenced in backyard and being in company of other dogs she was sitting for the week. Would definitely recommend Maria for future services!”
“J is the best! Super communicative and really loves my pup. I can tell my dog is happy in the photos he sends and when I pick him up! So grateful to have found J!”
“Sarah was great! She was able to watch Diesel within a VERY short notice from another sitter. (Diesel is not neutered and wanted to make babies with her dog) sarah arranged to pick up Diesel and took care of him. He was walked and could tell he had a good time because when we got him home he sprawled onto the floor tired lol. She took him on walks, played catch, cuddles and told me about his eating/bowel movements. She also sent pics while he was with her! I will definitely book with her again!”
“We highly recommend Brenda and Al! Great communication, flexible and took exceptional care of our big guy. It was so nice to go on vacation and know he was with genuine and good people who cared for him like he was their own! Thank you!! Steve and Laurie”
