“Jaymie was fabulous to work with she made the process so easy and my golden doodle Goose had a wonderful time and was well taken care of in her home. I will 100% use her again when needed.”
“Our dogs loved it here. The perfect environment for them. Our one dog is a very anxious dog and she usually doesn’t do good with boarding and when she comes back she’s a wreck but she came home perfectly normal and the dogs loved it there. Candace and her husband were so kind and treated them like their own. I have our next stay already booked for them.”
“Marie and Mark were absolutely fantastic! They took amazing care of our dogs Jersey and Odin, while we were away, sending regular updates and adorable photos that put our minds at ease. It's clear they genuinely love animals and treated our pups like one of their own. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and will definitely be using their services again!”
“Alex was great with my nervous guy. We’ve boarded him in the past and he always seemed to be anxious and have trouble eating. He settled in quickly with Alex. I think being in a home environment was more like his everyday routine.”
“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!”
“This was my dogs first stay with Talisha and I’m excited for them to visit her again in the future. I appreciated the photos of them playing, and they came home tired! I could tell when I picked them up that they loved her dog and kids. Thank you!”
“Tammy was amazing. I think it says a lot about our the sitter when you pup wants to stay and is hesitant to go home. Tammy will be at the top of our list any time we need someone to watch our pup when we go out of town.”
“Wow!! We had a boarding set up with another Rover family but unfortunately - it was not going to be a good fit. I quickly messaged Princesa - as this was the day we were to leave for the long memorial weekend - and she responded almost instantly! They were Incredibly flexible offering to meet for public pick up on our way out of town or bring her to their home based on our needs. Our pup had an AMAZING time and we were updated with pictures and texts daily. We were able to enjoy our holiday weekend with our minds at ease knowing our pup was well taken care of!!!! Thank you so much!!!! This was our first time using Rover and will definitely be boarding with them in the future!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“The care and understanding of our dog and helping her acclimate to their home was outstanding in every way. Was given time to be a part of the family and enjoy being part of their 'pack'. The messages and images helped us know about how she was doing during her stay. She would go back in an instant.”
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.
“Dax spent the night at Anna's because my wife and I were in my sister's wedding. Anna is very responsive and kept us informed of Dax during our wedding. Anna was very accommodating for us too. We had to drop Dax off early in the morning and we picked him up early in the morning too. If we need to drop off Dax again, we will try Anna again.”
“This is Lola’s second stay with Patti and Patrick, and she was shown as much love this visit as her first visit! Patti and Patrick recently added a fenced in portion of their yard… which I’m sure Lola took full advantage of while staying with them, if pictures are any indication. Thanks Patti and Patrick!”
“Our dog Leena has a great time and was exhausted when we picked her up. Alisha and Cameron and their family sent a lot of updates and clearly spent a lot of time the pups. Would definitely recommend and plan to send our dog to visit them again in the future!”
“Brandi and her family were WONDERFUL!!! They treated my dog Hank like family, with lots of love and plenty of neighborhood walks. They comforted him during a thunderstorm, and he even got to join them on the bed for a snuggle. I'd book Brandi again in a second, in fact I already have! 🙂 She gets 10 stars in my book, and in Hank's!!!”
“Jacky our Wheaton spend one night with Hannah, and was instantly comfortable with her when we dropped him off, which is unusual for him as he is hesitant with strangers. She sent numerous updates and photos which showed us he was having a good time. We were very happy with the whole experience and would recommend Hannah.”
“Jackie was so great! Our dog, Josie, stayed with her and her family for two nights. Her two dogs played well with her as well as her sweet kids. She gave timely updates and sent photos to assure us everything was going well. Josie had a wonderful time and I’d highly recommend Jackie!”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful, and Jack had an amazing stay with her. I felt great knowing he was so well taken care of while I was gone! She sent sweet updates while I was out of town and was able to accommodate on short notice. I'm so incredibly appreciative to her, and will absolutely use her services if I need to in the future!!!”

About: Since I was 6 years old my family had dogs and cats as pets. All the dogs we had we got as puppies so I handled the potty training, taught tricks and the main obedience training like sit and stay. I've watched family and friends dogs which also included days/nights at a time like when they were out of town working. I have watched and been with tiny dogs to giant dogs. I'm a stay at home mom at the moment so I have plenty of time to care for your pet pretty much at anytime day or night. I have a fenced yard so easy to let in and out as needed, big area take out or let out to play. My house is pretty open with area for them to roam or find good spot to just relax. I have never crated any of my animals but if needed or wanted obviously I could do that. If you have a special diet for your dog I would follow that for you also. My kids and I also love to go on walks and would love your dog to join. I do have three very young kids so your dog must get along with children. My kids love animals, they were very sad after losing our last dog so they'd be very excited to play with others. I am home daily with my kids, I only leave when I need to go to the store or take kids to an activity. So they won't be left alone for long if at all while in my care. I have a fenced in yard for a safe place to run and play while outside. My house is decent size so plenty of area and all open to them so they feel at home. You can bring whatever you think your animal needs to be comfortable.
About: Certified in dog CPR and first aid, with 50 hours of dog handling and management training through Pack Pro. Five years of experience on a hobby farm, handling all morning and evening chores and feedings for a variety of animals, including goats, chickens, ducks, bunnies, dogs, cats, and horses. Trust your furry friends to someone with a proven track record of animal care and safety. I work full-time at a dog boarding facility, typically 35-40 hours per week with a mix of morning (6:15 AM - 11:15 AM) and afternoon/evening (12:45 PM - around 7 PM) shifts. While I do work both shifts twice a week, my schedule still offers plenty of open time. Beyond these commitments, I'm generally available and flexible, making pet sitting a perfect fit for my lifestyle! Safety is my top priority. I follow all of the owner's instructions meticulously regarding feeding, medication, and exercise. I maintain a clean and safe environment, free from hazards. I build trust with pets by being patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs, creating a positive and stress-free experience. I respect the client's home and maintain open communication, providing updates and addressing any concerns promptly.
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.
“Absolutely incredible sitter! Katelyn took care of my dog, Lola, for two weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Lola adored her from the very beginning, and it was clear every single day that she was in loving, capable hands. Katelyn went above and beyond—not only did she keep Lola safe, happy, and well-loved, she even taught her a couple of new tricks while I was away! She sent updates, was attentive to everything Lola needed, and treated her with the same affection and patience that I would. Coming home to a relaxed, confident dog who clearly had the best time was such a gift. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, reliable, and genuinely great with animals, I can’t recommend Katelyn enough. She’s fantastic.”
About: I’ve grown up with having both cats and dogs of my own my entire life so I know the proper way to care for them. I understand both the needs of animals and how to tend to those specific needs. I love all kinds of animals and spending time with them so much that I would love to go into some type of career where I can be around them and care for them. I’ve always had positive experiences when around animals and have never had any problems being able to connect with them. I would prefer walking smaller dogs but have no problem sitting both large and small dogs/ any size dog. I would also be happy to take care of and watch cats also.
About: We grew up with pets and we have a pet loving family. We have a German wirehair pointer dog, cat and raise rabbits for showing. We also volunteer at a local goat farm and help take care of goats. I work full time out of the home, Monday-Friday, so your dog will be kenneled while we are at work. Unless it’s summer or holiday then my schedule may be different. I will do morning walks and night walks and playtime outside after and before work. We have an unfenced large yard so your pet will be leashed for playtime. We have a nice larger private backyard so plenty of space for exercise.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my six years of dedicated, hands-on experience caring for animals around the clock. I grew up with two dogs and a cat, caring for them through all stages of life—including senior care and end-of-life comfort. I also have experience working with rescues my family adopted, which taught me patience and adaptability with animals of different backgrounds and temperaments. I’m confident working with puppies, senior pets, and those needing special attention, and I truly love and treat every animal as if they were my own. I currently have an open schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and fully dedicate time to pet care. I’m able to plan my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, making sure I’m available for feeding times, walks, play, and any special routines or requests. When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow all owner instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise, ensuring fresh water and a clean environment. Whether supervising play, going for walks, or offering companionship, I aim to reduce stress and make pets feel secure and well cared for in any setting.
About: My whole life, I have grown up with animals ranging from dogs, cats, horses, goats, bunnies, etc! I am a true animal lover and have a fur baby of my own, Remi. I truly believe that pets are part of the family, and they will get treated just like that when I take care of them! I am a registered nurse and work 2 days a week. Being a nurse frees up my time tremendously and I’d love to be able to help you out! We do have a one year old child who loves dogs, so your fur babe has to do well with children 😊 I currently work part time as a registered nurse 2-3 days a week. This allows me to have multiple days off every single week as well as long stretches of time off to play with and take care of your fur babies! I I am available most weekends and multiple days during the week to take care of your animals. I have two loving labrador retrievers at home, Remi and Jagger, to keep your pup company! We spend a lot of time outdoors whether it’s going on walks, going swimming at the local lakes, or just playing in our huge back yard! I will adhere to your wishes for your pet and listen to their needs to make their stay as smooth as possible! I can also administer medication’s if your pet would have that need. And of course I will supply you with updates and pics during your time away, as I understand how difficult it can be ❤️
“Haley H. did an absolutely MARVELOUS job, looking after our 3 cats. My husband, and I, have NEVER left them, for such a long period of time. We were going away for a month. I was VERY nervous about leaving them at home with someone, the cats, did not know. They were safe. They were healthy. They were happy. I expected weight loss. I expected negative behaviors. I expected "unhappy" critters. NONE of that occurred. Haley kept us informed, as to how the cats were doing. She asked questions, to help her better, tend to them. WE are VERY SATISFIED, with Haley's care. I think the cats are also.”
About: I am a single mom, who enjoys animals just about as much as I love children. My son loves taking dogs for walks and helping me care for them. It teaches him about responsibility, integrity, and so much more.. Plus we get to play with many different animals and who doesn't love that! I enjoy all breeds of dog whether they are large or small as long as they're friendly with children. I am very professional, and respectful of people, their homes and their pets and have never gotten a bad review from any customer that I've ever had. I always go the extra mile to make the customer and the pet feel as comfortable as possible because it's hard to leave a pet, and also hard for a pet when the owner leaves.

I am very caring and gentle. i know how to slowly approach any new friend. OI am very quiet and gentle with all animals. Open for dog walking & sitting. Currently do not have a job. Hoping I can reach enough clients. I love the outdoors & pets! New adventures & friends! I have one pup. We take her on walks around the neighborhood daily.

“What a wonderful couple. They “get” dogs. Our one has separation anxiety and the other is borderline. They seemed so chill here and happy. We even got a happy photo of them. We’ll definitely be back. This is so much better than them being cooped up in a kennel at a boarder. Thank you, see you next time.”

“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!”
“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.
“Bailey had a great time. She was exhausted when she got home. We will definitely use them again. Like that they are close to us. Gave a tip when we picked up Bailey.”
About: My husband and I have both grown up with pets and have continued caring for animals throughout our adult lives. We have extensive hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, and we currently care for a variety of animals in our home, including fish, a bearded dragon, a leopard gecko, a hamster, and hermit crabs. This has given us a strong understanding of different care needs, routines, and behaviors across species. We’re attentive, patient, and comfortable following specific instructions — whether that’s maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic care, or helping pets feel calm and safe in a new environment. We truly treat every pet as if they were our own. Because we work from home, pet care naturally fits into our daily routine. We’re around throughout the day to provide attention, playtime, feeding, and companionship, not just quick check-ins. Our flexible schedule allows us to adapt to each pet’s needs, whether that means extra cuddles, medication reminders, or keeping a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. We care for pets as if they are part of our own family. In our home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play safely. We live on 10 acres, which allows for supervised outdoor time, walks, and fresh air, and we also have a large outdoor kennel available when appropriate for a pet’s comfort and safety. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we focus on consistency, attentiveness, and respect for each pet’s routine. We follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication instructions, and any special requests closely. We make it a priority to be responsive, communicative, and attentive so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident while they’re away.

About: I have 2 older BIG dogs and 2 cats. Not afraid of anything that comes out of them lol. Patience and love go a long way with animals. I will walk/watch your animal with the same care and attention that I give my furbabies. I am an online Cybersecurity teacher and work from home, so I have time to stop over while you are at work. Not available after 8pm. I have a semi fenced yard, leashed walks only or hang outside with me on a tie out. We also go to the dog park by the water tower for some off leash play. I never leave them unattended as there are lots of neighbor dogs.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have had both cats and dogs since I was a little girl. Caring for pets has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love being around animals of all kinds. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily care, walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving pets the attention and love they deserve.

I have a flexible and reliable schedule that allows me to provide consistent pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends.

I provide calm, attentive care in either my client’s home or my own, always prioritizing each pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. I create a low-stress environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed, following their normal feeding schedules, exercise needs, litter box or habitat care, and any specific instructions provided. I take time to build trust at the pet’s pace, especially with shy or anxious animals, and I pay close attention to their behavior and wellbeing. Communication with pet owners is consistent so you always feel informed and confident your pet is being well cared for.
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.
“Michelle is truly the best - whenever I drop my dog off, she runs to greet Michelle and is so excited to see her. It’s so nice to know that my dog is in such good hands. We will be back again soon!”

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. We welcome your fur baby to our Home Away From Home! My family and I will care for and love your fur baby while you are away.

All of our animals are up to date on shots and other preventions and I would ask that your dog(s) meet this requirement as well so that all animals can stay healthy and happy. Rest assured that your fur baby will be well taken care of while on “vacation”.

About: Hello! I’m Erin, I am a 20 year old female. I have owned dogs my entire life and love how relaxing it is to walk them, I also get frequently asked to walk/ dog sit for my family and friends! And don’t worry if your dog has a little more energy than others, I also love to run!

I have very open availability during the week days, I am willing to travel, and would love to meet your puppy! I am currently a part-time waitress, only serving on the weekends.

And with dog walking I make sure to never let them off the leash and I try to avoid interactions with other people, you never know how a dog will react and it is better to be safe than sorry!
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.
About: When I was little I used to tell people I lived in a Zoo and though it often felt that way with 4 dogs, 2 cats, a bird and rabbits it was not a reality (maybe one day ;) .) I have been caring for animals since I could hold a leash from walking and feeding dogs to trimming cat nails. In the past 5 years I have raised and trained my own high energy Vizsla as well as cared for a few litters of Bernese Mountain Dogs. I deeply believe the relationship a human has with their furry friend is unique and irreplaceable and my goal as a dog caretaker is to protect those relationships. Not only do I keep your furry babies happy and healthy, but I also strive to create peace of mind for you. I just moved to Minnesota and am diving into the vibrance of life here. With that, I am very flexible on timing. Morning-Day-Night and Weekends are all great for me. I completely understand that each dog owner has preferences and ways they want their babies to be cared for. With that, as I enter someone else's space I do so with a mindset of respect for the guidelines and rules they have laid out. I will care for you dog to the best of my abilities while keeping your wishes at the forefront.
About: Unlike others, I’m not doing this to make a profit. I genuinely love animals, and I truly hope I can be of help to you. I’m self-employed, so my schedule is a bit unpredictable. I’m self-employed, so my schedule is a bit unpredictable.but. I live with my mom, so even when I’m at work, she can take great care of my pets. I have a huge huge backyard where the pups can play happily!~ My Labrador loves playing ball with me the most.~~~~ My neighborhood is very safe and beautiful.！
About: I have owned 2 dogs, one that was a bigger rescue dog and that delt with arthritis and a few other health issues. Then currently I have a 1 year old mini dachshund who is fully of life and a little hyper. I have also dog sat for many family and friends over the years. So I have experience working with many types of dogs and am comfortable around all types. When it comes to taking care of your baby, I will dedicate my time to focus on them and their needs. I love playing with dogs, bringing them for walks, if allowed I would love to bring them to a dog park for some social time, or just to get some more exercise! I have also trained my mini dachshund how to do some fun tricks like shake, roll over, spin, and weave between my legs, so if your wanting some fun tricks for your dog I can definitely show/train your dog how to do some! I am usually pretty open after 10:30am Mon-Thur. Then Fri-Sun I am open most of the day. I just need a few days notice so that I am not double scheduling your walk or drop in with my work schedule! Currently, I am only accepting dog walks and drop in visits in your home. I prefer a meet and greet beforehand to make sure I am the right fit for you and your baby.
About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, chickens mainly for family and friends, some neighbors. I very good with young hyper dogs considering I have a miniature Aussie. I also have a 12 senior dog who can only go on 15 min walks. I love all animals wether it’s watching/playing with them or taking them on walks! Pet care fits into my schedule cause I’m a young hairstylist who is trying to fill up her books. Being a new hairstylist isn’t easy and I want to fulfill my time well considering bills I have to pay each month I am very comfortable with animals depending if you want me to spend the night or not. I’m very flexible with coming and going or simple taking them on walks. I love to take my own dogs on walk and runs as well!
About: I have over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes, from large farm animals like cows and horses to household pets including dogs, cats, and rabbits. My background includes working with both family pets and farm animals, giving me experience with different temperaments, routines, and care needs. In addition to my professional and educational experience, I also raise and care for my own animals, including rabbits, poultry, dogs, and cats. I am currently pursuing a B.S. in Animal Science with a minor in Histotechnology, along with a dual major in Canine Management and Training. My education has strengthened my knowledge of animal behavior, health, handling, and proper care techniques. In addition to my schooling, I was involved in 4-H for 10 years and FFA for 6 years, where I gained extensive experience in animal husbandry, responsibility, and daily animal care. I have also worked as a kennel assistant in a veterinary hospital and as a stable hand at a horse rescue ranch, where I assisted with feeding, cleaning, exercise, monitoring animal health, and providing compassionate care. I am also comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to ensure pets stay healthy and comfortable. What sets me apart is my combination of real-world animal experience, formal education, and genuine passion for animal care. I am comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I strive to provide safe, patient, and reliable care that helps pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident. I am currently a college student home for the summer, looking to stay busy. I work as a softball coach on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, as well as weekends. While I am not coaching, I am looking to spend my time with animals. Pets in my care are treated like family, and their safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. At my home, we have 20 wooded acres with plenty of space for exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. Dogs can enjoy supervised leash walks or long-line walks, depending on their needs and the owner’s preference. I always make sure pets are safely handled and closely supervised at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions to make sure each pet gets the care they are used to. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in good hands.
About: We grew up with pets and we have a pet loving family. We have a German wirehair pointer dog, cat and raise rabbits for showing. We also volunteer at a local goat farm and help take care of goats. I work full time out of the home, Monday-Friday, so your dog will be kenneled while we are at work. Unless it’s summer or holiday then my schedule may be different. I will do morning walks and night walks and playtime outside after and before work. We have an unfenced large yard so your pet will be leashed for playtime. We have a nice larger private backyard so plenty of space for exercise.
About: Certified in dog CPR and first aid, with 50 hours of dog handling and management training through Pack Pro. Five years of experience on a hobby farm, handling all morning and evening chores and feedings for a variety of animals, including goats, chickens, ducks, bunnies, dogs, cats, and horses. Trust your furry friends to someone with a proven track record of animal care and safety. I work full-time at a dog boarding facility, typically 35-40 hours per week with a mix of morning (6:15 AM - 11:15 AM) and afternoon/evening (12:45 PM - around 7 PM) shifts. While I do work both shifts twice a week, my schedule still offers plenty of open time. Beyond these commitments, I'm generally available and flexible, making pet sitting a perfect fit for my lifestyle! Safety is my top priority. I follow all of the owner's instructions meticulously regarding feeding, medication, and exercise. I maintain a clean and safe environment, free from hazards. I build trust with pets by being patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs, creating a positive and stress-free experience. I respect the client's home and maintain open communication, providing updates and addressing any concerns promptly.
About: My family has had dogs most of my life, and I had my first cat as a young adult. My animal approach starts with your family’s structure, and my enthusiasm for considerate and trustworthy pet care. I’ve worked with dogs of most ages from puppy through senior pups, and I’ve been around barn cats and kittens since my youth. I have had an indoor cat since he was a young kitten, and currently live with 3 adult cats that I’ve known as grown kitties. I have ample availability to prioritize your pets thanks to a flexible schedule. You don’t need to choose between career ambition and companion care, let me help your household thrive so you can grind without guilt! I’ve had experience with crating and free roaming for my dogs in the past, (My pups have since crossed over the rainbow bridge) and am open to what your home expectations are. The cats I live with now are accustomed to a routine schedule of feeding and interaction at their leisure, with snacks and playtime too.
About: I am a single mom, who enjoys animals just about as much as I love children. My son loves taking dogs for walks and helping me care for them. It teaches him about responsibility, integrity, and so much more.. Plus we get to play with many different animals and who doesn't love that! I enjoy all breeds of dog whether they are large or small as long as they're friendly with children. I am very professional, and respectful of people, their homes and their pets and have never gotten a bad review from any customer that I've ever had. I always go the extra mile to make the customer and the pet feel as comfortable as possible because it's hard to leave a pet, and also hard for a pet when the owner leaves.
“Paige is AMAZING. She shows up on time, sends great pics of what your pet is doing, and updates accurately about the walk. She is great with my pup and my puppy is so happy when I get home. Paige will continue to be our main dog walker!”
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 grown up with pets all 22 years of my life, and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, where I took specialized courses in dog training and behavior, as well as animal nutrition. On top of that, I gained hands-on experience working as a kennel technician at a local veterinary clinic, caring for pets of all ages—including seniors and those with special medical needs. In my free time, I love walking and spending time with my own dogs, so I truly understand how important daily exercise, consistency, and loving companionship are for a happy, healthy pet. Whether your furry friend needs basic care, training support, or just someone to give them attention and love while you're away, I'm here to help! I recently graduated with a degree in Animal Science and am currently exploring job opportunities in the animal care field. This means I have a very open and flexible schedule right now, and I’m available for pet care throughout the week—including weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the consistent care they need! Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At my home, I take dogs out on leashes for all potty breaks and walks to ensure they stay safe and secure at all times. My own dog is crate trained, so I’m familiar with using crates as a safe space when needed. I also take time to slowly introduce pets to new environments or routines to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all routines exactly as instructed—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, or favorite walking routes. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always aim to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment.

We do have a one year old child who loves dogs, so your fur babe has to do well with children 😊 I currently work part time as a registered nurse 2-3 days a week.

“Jaymie was fabulous to work with she made the process so easy and my golden doodle Goose had a wonderful time and was well taken care of in her home. I will 100% use her again when needed.”
“Our dogs loved it here. The perfect environment for them. Our one dog is a very anxious dog and she usually doesn’t do good with boarding and when she comes back she’s a wreck but she came home perfectly normal and the dogs loved it there. Candace and her husband were so kind and treated them like their own. I have our next stay already booked for them.”
“Marie and Mark were absolutely fantastic! They took amazing care of our dogs Jersey and Odin, while we were away, sending regular updates and adorable photos that put our minds at ease. It's clear they genuinely love animals and treated our pups like one of their own. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and will definitely be using their services again!”
“Alex was great with my nervous guy. We’ve boarded him in the past and he always seemed to be anxious and have trouble eating. He settled in quickly with Alex. I think being in a home environment was more like his everyday routine.”
“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!”
“This was my dogs first stay with Talisha and I’m excited for them to visit her again in the future. I appreciated the photos of them playing, and they came home tired! I could tell when I picked them up that they loved her dog and kids. Thank you!”
“Tammy was amazing. I think it says a lot about our the sitter when you pup wants to stay and is hesitant to go home. Tammy will be at the top of our list any time we need someone to watch our pup when we go out of town.”
“Wow!! We had a boarding set up with another Rover family but unfortunately - it was not going to be a good fit. I quickly messaged Princesa - as this was the day we were to leave for the long memorial weekend - and she responded almost instantly! They were Incredibly flexible offering to meet for public pick up on our way out of town or bring her to their home based on our needs. Our pup had an AMAZING time and we were updated with pictures and texts daily. We were able to enjoy our holiday weekend with our minds at ease knowing our pup was well taken care of!!!! Thank you so much!!!! This was our first time using Rover and will definitely be boarding with them in the future!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“The care and understanding of our dog and helping her acclimate to their home was outstanding in every way. Was given time to be a part of the family and enjoy being part of their 'pack'. The messages and images helped us know about how she was doing during her stay. She would go back in an instant.”
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.
“This is Lola’s second stay with Patti and Patrick, and she was shown as much love this visit as her first visit! Patti and Patrick recently added a fenced in portion of their yard… which I’m sure Lola took full advantage of while staying with them, if pictures are any indication. Thanks Patti and Patrick!”
“Our dog Leena has a great time and was exhausted when we picked her up. Alisha and Cameron and their family sent a lot of updates and clearly spent a lot of time the pups. Would definitely recommend and plan to send our dog to visit them again in the future!”
“Brandi and her family were WONDERFUL!!! They treated my dog Hank like family, with lots of love and plenty of neighborhood walks. They comforted him during a thunderstorm, and he even got to join them on the bed for a snuggle. I'd book Brandi again in a second, in fact I already have! 🙂 She gets 10 stars in my book, and in Hank's!!!”
“Jacky our Wheaton spend one night with Hannah, and was instantly comfortable with her when we dropped him off, which is unusual for him as he is hesitant with strangers. She sent numerous updates and photos which showed us he was having a good time. We were very happy with the whole experience and would recommend Hannah.”
“Jackie was so great! Our dog, Josie, stayed with her and her family for two nights. Her two dogs played well with her as well as her sweet kids. She gave timely updates and sent photos to assure us everything was going well. Josie had a wonderful time and I’d highly recommend Jackie!”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful, and Jack had an amazing stay with her. I felt great knowing he was so well taken care of while I was gone! She sent sweet updates while I was out of town and was able to accommodate on short notice. I'm so incredibly appreciative to her, and will absolutely use her services if I need to in the future!!!”
“Sophia was very flexible and sent us many pictures which we could tell our dog was very happy there! Will definitely use her services again and would recommend to others.”
“We had an excellent experience with Cait and Tim! Our pup didn’t have good manners when meeting their family dog but they didn’t seem to be worried. He eventually settled in and he had a great time for his overnight. He was so tired the following day from all the activity at their house. We’d never used a service like this before. We would recommend them 100%!”
