“Aish was wonderful. Answered all my questions. Sent lots of pictures. My puppy had a great time. Felt much better going on vacation knowing she was loved and cared for.”
“Mia appears to have had a great time and is worn out from all the playing. I greatly appreciated the fast responses to all questions and requests, both before and during Mia's stay.”
“Chelsie was an awesome dog sitter. She watched our two dogs and sent many updates throughout their stay. She was also very accommodating to our schedule. We would definitely have her watch our dogs again!”
“Cheyann and Nicole took great care of our 11-1/2 year old Springer. For many years, she has only been watched by family and close friends so we were a little nervous, but she seemed to enjoy her time there. We will definitely be using them again.”
“Our first time using Rover and Cindy was great! She sent me a few pictures while we were away which was so nice and reassuring. I will request Cindy for future days away ?”
“Georgie and her husband , were such a great find . They sent me pictures and talked about my Buddy’s day. First time I used but will definitely use again . Felt like I left him with family. Thanks Georgie you are the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“This was our first time leaving Bella for more than 2 days with anyone. Ashley was incredible! Bella has separation anxiety and Ashley was so understanding and supportive. Ashley was able to read Bella and give her the support she needed. We were incredibly relieved to hear Bella didn't need her anxiety medication (something we rarely have been able to do ourselves). We appreciate how Ashley is concerned for Bella's safety when Ashley needed to leave the home. We anticipated a set back in Bella's separation anxiety when we came back and so far she seems even more calm than before. We've only had Bella about 1.5 years and she's our first dog. We are definitely worried pawrents and yet we were able to relax without any worries on our vacation.”
“Trudy is the best! She took the best care of our dog while we were out of town. Our dog Gus had so much fun and didn’t want to leave when we picked him up! Trudy was very communicative and sent us pictures, which we loved!!”
“Our standard poodle stayed with John and Teri earlier this year while we were gone for a long trip, and then again a second time this weekend. We know he is spoiled and loved and feels right at home both by the photos and updates John and Teri share as well as how our dog acts when we drop him off and pick him up. We are so grateful to know he is having a good time when we are gone! John and Teri are wonderful!”
“Jennifer was so sweet, caring, and accommodating to our pup. I loved getting pictures and messages throughout his stay, which really put my mind at ease. I truly appreciate her taking in a puppy and being so flexible with our schedule tweaks. We'll definitely book again.”
“Took great care of my dog, Scout!! Took the time to find out about her needs, routines and behavior. I knew right away she would be in wonderful hands. Definitely would recommend!!”
“They were very good about sending pics of my dog. Also, very accommodating with drop off & pickup of my dog. My dog can be very anxious and did well with their very laid back animals.”
“Becky took great care of our dogs! Her messages and pictures made us feel very comfortable leaving our dogs there, as one of our dogs is blind. Will definitely use her again!!”
“Alecia and Todd (and their family) were wonderful with mini-goldendoodle, Ole, for a week+ over the holidays. They took great care of him, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing that Ole would be loved (and be a part of family life) while we were gone.”
“Great sitters, nice family. Our dogs had a great time there and immediately fell asleep when they got home after all the play time. Will be booking again with Liana and Dan in the future.”
“Elizabeth and family are always kind and welcoming to our two fur babies. She sends and updates us with the cutest pictures! Always easy to communicate with prompt responses. Bullet and Benji always have fun and definitely enjoys hanging out with their whole family! Highly recommended!”
“Heather took great care of my doggo over the holidays. I know he had a blast from the photos she sent. Happy to know my dog has a new furry friend to hang out with.”

About: I grew up around livestock and all sorts of other animals. I recently lost my own dog but when I had her I used Rover to help find a regular dog sitter for when I went on teacher conferences. I recently became trained in dog and cat CPR and first aid. I am not afraid to give medications to an animal and have taken care of dogs that have special needs such as anxiety, fear of fireworks, fear of guns and high energy. I am currently on a teaching schedule but after memorial day I will be available most days. If I am away during the summer it's usually just during the day. They will take first priority, getting food, water, any medications prescribed and taken to go outside will all take place before my needs. I can provide a kennel at my home and kennel trained my own dog understanding the process for that.
“Highly recommend Kallyn to watch your pets! She was great at communication, has a lot of experience taking care of animals, and genuinely cares about their well-being. I know my senior cat was in excellent hands!! I will definitely ask kallyn to take of my pets in the future.”
About: I love all dog breeds. Found my passion in fostering for a rescue. Would love to have this as my job full time. We love to walk our dogs I work full time evenings. I have 3 dogs and a cat. I adopted my last foster. Husky and cat is my son’s that I’m taking care of. We walk them daily we also have a dog park near by My dogs sleep with me when I’m home alone. They are allowed on furniture. I do have kennels and kennel when they are home alone. My pets are family and I will treat your pets as family too.
“Samantha was so wonderful with Buddy! She spent a lot of time brushing and petting him so he was a happy kitty while we were gone. Everything in the house was neat and clean when we got home. I would highly recommend Samantha!”
About: I have owned a dog for the last 15 years and have taken care of all ages/types of dogs for family and friends! I am home during the week and on weekends. I have a 4 year old yellow lab who is extremely friendly with other dogs and is used to being around them. I have an acre fenced in yard in town with lots of room for the dogs to run around safe. We have the summers off and are very flexible during the week. We are also available most every weekend for weekend stays or week long stays. We have a large fenced (One acre) in yard and a four year old yellow lab named Earl who loves to run around. Our yard is very dog friendly!
“Corey and Mia were incredible. My cat is so-so about so many people, but they had the magic touch. I got updates everyday with photos and updates on what they were doing, although I never doubted that they were taking care of him. I felt more peace of mind leaving Stanley with Corey and Mia than I have felt even leaving him with my friends. I will certainly be bringing Stanley back, and could not recommend them more!”
“Emily was great! She checked in throughout our trip to make sure we knew when she would be at the house and what our kitties were up to. Our kitties were new to us taking a long trip and having someone else checking on them, so they were a bit shy. Emily handled it so well! And did her best to help them feel comfortable. She was easy to get a hold of, very reliable, and quick to respond to any questions we had during the booking and actual sitting process. We will definitely book Emily again in the future :)”
About: I’m a new cat mom. I usually always just had dogs, but I couldn’t say NO to my two kitties. Mama Kiki was found pregnant in a dumpster behind a restaurant!!!!! I had to bring her home and keep one of her babies. They are so sweet and crazy rascals. I have no problems taking care of older cats and kitties.
About: I have taken care of family/friends/other people’s pets since I was 13. I can feed, let out, walk, and provide enrichment/care for animals. I also have experience with administering medication to animals as well. I am a college student on break for the summer, so my availability is pretty open! I am available both weeks and weekends for most of the summer. I will care for your pets as if they were my own (I love my dogs)! I want to ensure that your pet feels safe and comfortable in my care, while also respecting your rules, such as keeping fence gates shut or crating pets when I am not there.
About: Ever since I was little, my family has had many pets and cats either in the house, or at the neighbors/friends' homes, that I have always been drawn to. I am very caring, loving of Animals and everything! We always were helping with socializing, playing with them and bonding with them. since after about high school on, I have helped with pet cats in my family and at my friends' houses with Pet sitting, then since 1993, having my own cats with my husband. I have also helped with our no kill rescue shelter on the cat end for about 7 years, and also with a good friend who was one of our Foster Mamma's to one of our cats. I would help here with her litters of cats and pregnant momma cats out of her home to do vet runs with them, helping to socialize them, doing pet therapy, doing fundraisers, etc. We also have caught strays from our own home and got them into the systems to get them off of the streets, vetted and adopted. Both my husband and I adore all pets, but also cats, and would love to have the opportunity to be helping you with your sweet fur babies. He would be my side kick extra pet help from time to time and we would make sure you're covered and cared for in all ways. It is important alo, for us to know your dog and cat likes and dislikes, as that will help our entire experience a great one all around. I am so excited to re start this as a true part-time job and meeting you guys and making new friends both human and Fur babies!
About: Animals have always been such a big part of my life - they are like family! I’m an active person who enjoys taking my dog with me any chance I get. I cannot currently board any pets, but I am available to come to your home to let them out, take on walks, and give them lots of love and attention! Based on your pets comfort level, I am able to do anything from take them on walks to giving them all the attention and butt scritches that they desire.
“Whitney was so helpful in dropping in on our two cats during vacation! She spent time playing with them and filling up their food and water feeders. I felt relieved knowing someone they liked was stopping by to show them some attention. I’ll definitely be hiring her again in the future!”
About: When your pet stays with me, they are family, and treated as such. I have experience with elderly and hospice pets as well as special-needs pets, young puppies, medication management and administration (liquid, pill, and injections) and some training experience as well. Well versed in pets with special care requirements (i.e. animals with anxiety, reactivity and/or other behavioral challenges). Because I work from home, I can be with your pet throughout the workday, and can easily step away to give your pet potty breaks and attention. I prefer to do house-sitting based pet care, as I’ve found that animals are most comfortable in their home environments. I am also happy to water any plants that may need it, as long as instructions are provided. Happy to work with large animals, amphibians, fish, and reptiles as well. Do note that house-sitting based pet care includes light house maintenance/cleaning as well such as vacuuming and laundering the guest sheets used. I like to leave the houses I care for as neat (if not neater) than they were upon my arrival. I work from home and can easily step away to care for your pet. When pet sitting, I generally don’t leave the house I’m sitting at for more than a few hours at a time, so your pet has reliable supervision and company. I am pet CPR and first aid certified through Red Cross. I am a very cautious and risk-aware person, always mindful of keeping doors and gates shut and ensuring the environment I’m pet-sitting in is safe and secure.

“Jax's first stay with Leanna went great! She took lots of pictures of his stay and even sent us home with a gift - she made us an absolutely adorable ornament with Jax's paw print! I would definitely choose her again to care for our baby!”

“Kimberly has been great with my 2 dogs and is very accommodating for them. I get updates during the day and she goes into detail during pickup on how they did. They always come home happy and that makes me happy knowing they are in good hands!”
“Aish and family are amazingly friendly people who really care about what they do and truly love dogs! I immediately got pictures and videos of them and they were so happy! We will definitely use them again!!!! 🐾💕🐶🫶🏻🐾”
“I sent my dogs for a fun daycare day and they came back so tired! I know they had a wonderful day. Kelsey was super sweet and informative, also sending pupdates throughout the day.”
About: I have a passion for taking care of dogs and I have taken care of a variety of other dogs. I have worked with Secondhand Hounds to be a foster for dogs spanning from puppy to adult age. I love dogs and would treat yours with love and care! My husband and I love dogs! Prior to having our daughter we did dog sit but for right now we are taking a break and only providing Daycare us during the weekday or walks whenever! You'll never go without pictures when I'm taking care of them. I currently work from home full time so dogs would have around the clock companionship with me. I take care of your dog as if they are my own.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of every kind since I was 14 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to check in on their pets. Yes, I watched cats as well. Don’t tell my dog! In my house our lives revolve around them. That of course doesn’t mean that they run the house, but we plan around them. My favorite sound and site are when they are eating: because to me it means they are safe and happy! I am working from home so I can be there for the dogs. Other than shopping and chores, im around. I can make my schedule flexible to accommodate 4 legged guests. I have a fenced yard so your dog can go out to sniff and do their business. I am also walking the dogs at least once a day, sometimes 2 short walks
“Maxie was having separation anxiety and Brittany was totally understanding of that. Once we work with Maxie to get her use to others outside of our family I would absolutely book with Brittany again”
“I am new to the area, and Chelsie was very close by. She responded promptly and communicated clearly. I brought Riley over, and Chelsie kindly met me at the car. I was having some difficulty with the long lead, and Riley immediately went up to her as if they had known each other for a long time. When Riley heard the dogs barking inside the house, she led Chelsie to the door, which was quite charming. I realized I forgot to mention something to Chelsie, but she responded right away. On my way back to pick up Riley, I got caught in traffic, so Chelsie graciously brought Riley out to me, and Riley happily got into the car without any issues. After we returned home, I noticed that Riley's card was filled out, and there was a detailed note, along with photos of Riley's day, showing that she had gone for a walk and played with her dogs. Overall, I would rate the experience as excellent, and Riley will definitely be visiting again.”
“This was our first experience using Lynn to provide an afternoon of daycare for our two, 1-1/2 yr old labs Maggie and Willow. Lynn met with us for a visit before we booked this daycare service and we found Lynn to be very knowledgeable, confident, cheerful and pleasant to work with. She did a great job answering all of questions and gave us the time we needed to ask them. On the day of daycare she took extra care in introducing our pups to the other dogs since Maggie can be very timid and a bit insecure. Everything went really well and by all indications Maggie and Willow had a great time. We will certainly book future stays with Lynn.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they are away. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I can help with daily walks, feeding schedules, puppy care, and giving lots of love and attention to make pets feel safe and comfortable. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I always make sure pets receive attention, exercise, and care in a safe and loving environment. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I always follow each pet owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and make sure they receive plenty of love, supervision, and attention while staying with me or during visits to your home.
About: I care for each pet as if they were my own. I walk, run and play with them. I treat every pet like a friend, offering comfort, attention and emotional connection. I bathe my dog about every other month. We have a routine in the morning with a walk before breakfast. Sometimes a walk around lunch time and another one after work is done. He is well loved and treated like a family member. I work full time Monday through Friday. I am in my office 3 half days and full time at home the other 2 days. I could stop at someone’s place on my way home to spend time with a dog and walk them. I can also stop over after work and later in the evening. In my home I have a fenced in yard that my dog can run free and play. If I am in a clients home I would make sure that there is nothing that the dog/puppy could get into after spending time with them/walking them.
“Second time to leave our pup with Elizabeth and I could tell by how excited he was when we came back that he enjoyed his last stay. Elizabeth was also very kind to accommodate Tubby overnight as a last minute request due to a family emergency.”
About: I’m a passionate dog lover who’s spent years providing exceptional care to dogs of all breeds and ages. My journey began long before my beloved heart dog, whose companionship deepened my commitment to love, patience, and understanding in caring for furry companions. I believe every dog is unique and deserves to feel safe, cherished, and comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart - Heartfelt commitment: My genuine love for dogs drives me to create a nurturing environment where each pet feels at home. I respect the emotional bond between pets and their owners and work to maintain the pet’s comfort in the owner’s absence. - Puppy expertise: I use positive reinforcement to support good behavior, healthy socialization, and plenty of playtime for puppies. - Senior dog care: I provide compassionate, specialized care for senior dogs, from gentle exercise routines to medication administration, ensuring their comfort and wellbeing. - Personalized attention: I learn each dog’s personality, preferences, and routine so I can tailor care—whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles—to make their stay enjoyable and stress-free. With a heartfelt approach and commitment to excellence, I guarantee your furry family member will receive the love, attention, safety, and care they deserve while you’re away. As a self-employed entrepreneur, I have the flexibility to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. This allows me to dedicate ample time and attention to your furry family during their stay. Whether it's providing companionship, engaging in playtime, or adhering to their feeding and exercise schedules, I ensure that your pet receives the care and love they need. My adaptable schedule means your pet will never feel alone, and I can provide consistent support and companionship throughout their time with me. In my home, your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a secure, fenced yard where they can play and explore freely. My space is designed to accommodate your furry friend with plenty of room to relax. If you prefer, I can crate your dog for added security, or we can allow them to roam comfortably without a crate during their stay. Rest assured, your pet will feel safe and at home in my care.
“This was our first experience using Topsy for doggie daycare and we couldn’t be happier! Our Yorkie was very much at home and comfortable. She has a nice space in the fenced in yard. She was very flexible and we were confident that our dog was loved up in his home away from home.”
“Would definitely use Jie again! Very responsive and easy to work with for booking/ answering questions. During my dogs stay, I got pictures of my dog throughout the day and there is great fenced in yard for him to spend time in. And most importantly, he was happy and has a wagging tail when I came to get him.”
“Shelby was so loving and amazing to my puppy, Nico! He came home tired & content! She kept track of his potty breaks, eating, and overall daily schedule with updates. I was so happy!”
“Carrie and Mark are amazing with our little guy Ollie! He plays with the kitty Bennie, and gets lots of walks and play time in! He loves it so much there he runs right to the door without a second glance at me!”

About: I would love to take care of your fur baby🐶🐾 I truly believe our pets are our family, and they deserve to be treated with patience, love, and attention. I’ve grown up with huskies and understand their energy, intelligence, and big personalities. I had a husky growing up, and now I rescued one of my own — so I’m very used to daily walks, playtime, structure, and staying active. I’m also a foster mom, which has given me experience with dogs of different temperaments, backgrounds, and needs. Caring for foster dogs has taught me patience, adaptability, and how important it is to make every dog feel safe and comfortable. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs — from small Yorkie/Shih Tzus to big Labs. I’m comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also have experience administering medications, including oral medications, eye drops, ear drops, and other basic care needs. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in capable and attentive hands. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my routine! I currently work in the service industry, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule. My usual days off are Wednesdays and Thursdays, which allows for extended availability those days. On most other days, I’m available for morning walks and check-ins if you reach out in advance. Since I already have an active routine with my own dog, adding walks and care for your pup fits in perfectly. I’m happy to communicate and coordinate to find times that work best for both of us! 🐾 I treat every pet like they’re part of my family, with care, respect, and plenty of love. My husky has gone through several training courses, so I’m used to teaching commands, helping with training, and teaching new tricks when needed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I create a calm and positive environment, supervise them closely, and adapt to each pet’s personality. You can trust that your furry family member will be in loving hands! 🐾
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I've helped take care of them, walk them, and kept them company. I'm detail oriented and do my best to do everything according to direction. I'd be happy to help take care of your animal. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of time to work with your pets! I'm available most days, best in the afternoon. I'm detail oriented and will make sure your dogs are leashed or harnessed the way they should be. When I'm walking I try to be very aware of my surroundings and will keep up that care with your dogs.
About: I have always had dogs in my life. From a black lab hunting dog, to an elderly chihuahua, and a puppy Siberian husky! I currently have two cats (mama & kitty) that I rescued from a foster home. Pets are the best!! I’m a retired US Air Force officer, so I have a lot of flexibility. I enjoy walking and taking my grand-dogs to the dog park. I’m home a lot because I’m retired from the military, so I have a ton of flexibility. So, I can spend a lot of time with your pet.
About: I’m a caring person who loves dogs and grew up with a lab. I have experience with taking care of friends puppies and senior dogs. I love to play hard with them so they can sleep good for you! I can walk dogs before I go to work and, take them out immediately when I get back home. I will also make sure they are being fed at the right times. I’m happy to transport pets and have them stay at my apartment for up to a week. I will provide long walks with them on leash and follow procedures at a client’s home. Making sure that the pet is comfortable is a top priority for me.
About: I am a very loving person all around. I have many years and experience in pet sitting and in pet therapy, rescue and fostering. My friends and family trust me completely to take care of their animals. Myself and my husband and side kick Bob, love all kinds of fur babies and decided to turn our passion into a business, where both of us have the pleasure of meeting you, your pets, and doing drop in visits in your home. Mostly, we will treat and love your fur babies just like they are our own. I for sure will make visiting your home and your pets a top priority. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to meet your needs. I have a safe and clean environment. I have plenty of toys and cat treats. I have lots of playtime and keep a regular routine for them. I get down to their level and give them lots of love and attention, as I would with your pets as well. I also have a husband who is a great cat daddy and is a wonderful wingman and he loves animals including dogs as much as I do. We would treat our pet sitting responsibilities seriously, as well as respecting your home and pets for pet sitting.
“Yascha has been doing regular walks with our dogs for a few weeks now. Dogs are super excited when he arrives. Yascha has been very responsive and has been accommodating to all requests (harness type, protective dog clothing in inclimate weather, wiping dogs feet etc). Would definitely recommend Yascha!”
About: I am a retired Certified Veterinary Technician. I have 30 years of caring for my own furry family members. I am trusted by friends and neighbors to enter their homes and care for their beloved pets. I have a spacious home and fenced in yard. I can care for those with special needs. I am a newly single mother looking for income doing what comes naturally. I am a care giver by nature. My schedule is open. I am available for your needs. I have a senior dog that suffers from separation anxiety. He has always been by my side. He is gentle and gets along with all other animals. I have 3 rescued cats, one of which has special dietary needs. I am well trusted by my friends and neighbors to care for their furry family members while they are away at appointments or a 2 week long vacation. I am trusted to enter their homes, as well as have their pets in my home.
About: Animals have always been such a big part of my life - they are like family! I’m an active person who enjoys taking my dog with me any chance I get. I cannot currently board any pets, but I am available to come to your home to let them out, take on walks, and give them lots of love and attention! Based on your pets comfort level, I am able to do anything from take them on walks to giving them all the attention and butt scritches that they desire.
About: I have pet sat for family members and friends. I also have worked at Wag’n Wash and have a lot of experience with all different types of breeds and temperaments. I know how to properly handle and deal with most if not all situations. I am home for the summer from college in the middle of May, and after I’m home I will be free most of the week with some errands and stuff I have to do in between some days. So I will be able to house sit during the week or just take them on walks or check up on them, depending on what the client wants to do. I work weekends but am able to take breaks and stop by the house if needed. I will insure all the care is specialized to each animal and what service I provide for them. With each pet I will come up with a specific care plan for them and review it with the owner to insure they get a say in what happened while they are gone.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up around a veterinary clinic and have worked as a veterinary assistant for the past 7 years, giving me hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Through both clinic work and pet sitting, I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, handling anxious or nervous animals, and working with puppies who may need extra supervision, potty breaks, patience, or routine reinforcement. I recently graduated from Bradley University and currently have a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week and weekends. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits and can work around your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’m especially comfortable with pets who need more frequent check-ins, senior pets who may need extra attention, and puppies who benefit from structured routines and regular potty breaks throughout the day. I also love keeping owners updated and am happy to send regular messages and photos so you know how your pet is doing. Creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for pets is very important to me. Because of my 7 years of experience working in a veterinary clinic, I’m comfortable reading animal behavior, administering medications, handling nervous pets, and responding calmly in stressful situations if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medications, walk schedules, potty routines, and any special care requests so pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
About: I’m a remote worker who has been lucky enough to love and care for my own cat, dog, hamster, and horse, as well as numerous other critters in kennels, barns, and animal shelters. I work remotely, so my time is very flexible. I’m happy to drop in for a visit or walk any time of day, rain, blizzard, or shine! I live in a quiet house with an eleven-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who loves playing tug-of-war and snuggling with his furry buddies. When I’m working with a pet, I always play off of the animal’s behavior and respect their boundaries. The health, safety, and cleanliness of your pet are my top priorities.
About: I’ve had a deep love for dogs ever since I was a little girl. Growing up with two dogs, I learned early on the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. As an adult, I’ve continued that passion by dog-sitting for friends over the years, helping them out while they’re on vacation. I understand that your dog is more than just a pet—they’re a family member. That’s why I make it a priority to ensure they’re well-fed, exercised, and, most importantly, showered with love and attention while they’re in my care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just a cuddle session on the couch, I’m committed to giving them a safe, happy, and loving environment. I’m also more than happy to help with bathing and grooming if needed, ensuring your pup looks and feels their best. I work full-time during the week but am off every Friday this summer, which makes me available to care for your pet, especially if you're planning a weekend getaway. Whether it’s a quick trip or a longer vacation, I’m here to ensure your pup gets all the attention, love, and care they need while you’re away. I live in a townhouse in a wonderful, dog-friendly neighborhood where the association is supportive of pets. The area has plenty of grassy spaces where your dog can play, explore, and enjoy some outdoor time. It's a peaceful, safe community with multiple walking paths nearby—perfect for daily walks and adventures. Whether your dog loves to explore or just needs a quiet spot to relax, they’ll feel right at home here. I believe in providing a fun, safe, and loving environment for your pet while you're away.
About: I’ve loved dogs as long as i can remember, I’ve been around dogs my whole life, had a Labrador Retriever growing up. My passion really began when neighbors would start asking me to dog sit for them. I always knew I wanted to do something with animals (mainly dogs.) a family friend told me about Rover & I immediately knew I had to become a sitter. I am very trustworthy and reliable & easy to reach! I currently do not have any pets in my home which makes me a great sitter if your dog isn’t a fan of other dogs/animals! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your dogs & care for them. & I can take whatever time needed to watch your dogs if you preferred I stay with them 100% You can always count on the fact that your dog is SAFE. If you don’t have a fenced in yard, I will keep your dog leashed unless you say otherwise!
About: i have watched animals my whole like and i love to be around them. i have many families that continue to trust me with their pets and i love them. i enjoy being around animals so much and always have a great time playing with them. i also love taking them for walks because it helps us both! im currently working part time and only have one in school class so i have a lot of free time whenever you need it. i also can make things work and move things around if needed. i am very good with animals and will be able to make sure they go to the bathroom and get plenty of water food and exercise.

“Mia appears to have had a great time and is worn out from all the playing. I greatly appreciated the fast responses to all questions and requests, both before and during Mia's stay.”
“Chelsie was an awesome dog sitter. She watched our two dogs and sent many updates throughout their stay. She was also very accommodating to our schedule. We would definitely have her watch our dogs again!”
“Cheyann and Nicole took great care of our 11-1/2 year old Springer. For many years, she has only been watched by family and close friends so we were a little nervous, but she seemed to enjoy her time there. We will definitely be using them again.”
“Our first time using Rover and Cindy was great! She sent me a few pictures while we were away which was so nice and reassuring. I will request Cindy for future days away ?”
“This was our first time leaving Bella for more than 2 days with anyone. Ashley was incredible! Bella has separation anxiety and Ashley was so understanding and supportive. Ashley was able to read Bella and give her the support she needed. We were incredibly relieved to hear Bella didn't need her anxiety medication (something we rarely have been able to do ourselves). We appreciate how Ashley is concerned for Bella's safety when Ashley needed to leave the home. We anticipated a set back in Bella's separation anxiety when we came back and so far she seems even more calm than before. We've only had Bella about 1.5 years and she's our first dog. We are definitely worried pawrents and yet we were able to relax without any worries on our vacation.”
“Trudy is the best! She took the best care of our dog while we were out of town. Our dog Gus had so much fun and didn’t want to leave when we picked him up! Trudy was very communicative and sent us pictures, which we loved!!”
“Our standard poodle stayed with John and Teri earlier this year while we were gone for a long trip, and then again a second time this weekend. We know he is spoiled and loved and feels right at home both by the photos and updates John and Teri share as well as how our dog acts when we drop him off and pick him up. We are so grateful to know he is having a good time when we are gone! John and Teri are wonderful!”
“Took great care of my dog, Scout!! Took the time to find out about her needs, routines and behavior. I knew right away she would be in wonderful hands. Definitely would recommend!!”

“Great sitters, nice family. Our dogs had a great time there and immediately fell asleep when they got home after all the play time. Will be booking again with Liana and Dan in the future.”

“Katrina and Drew were amazing with our Poppy. It's the first time we have picked her up and she was hesitant to jump in the car to go home. We know she was well-loved and in good hands with them :)”
“Kirsten was great! She was able to accept a request to watch my dog for the weekend at the last minute. She was very flexible about setting up drop-off and pick-up times and took really good care of my fur baby. I really appreciated that she sent me a picture each day to show how my dog was doing. :)”
