“Candace & Jeremy were absolutely wonderful! Out dog, mikko, is a little anxious and higher energy being a Aussie but he did great and seemed to loved his time with them. We will absolutely be repeat clients of theirs and recommend them 10/10! Thank you both!”
“This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Jaymie made drop-off and pick-up easy and smooth, and I really appreciated the regular updates and photos while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was being well cared for. I would definitely book with Jaymie again!”
“I had never left my fur baby for a week before and was a little worried about how she would do. I needn't have worried at all. Jennifer sent pictures of Kenzie having a wonderful time running and playing. I will for sure be booking with her again. Thank you Jennifer and family for making Kenzie fell comfortable and at home with you. ♥️”
“Alexandra did a wonderful job. Very responsive to text messages and provided daily updates. Her residence has plenty of space for dogs to run and have fun. Definitely going to book with her next time we need a sitter. I felt very comfortable that our dog was in good hands.”
About: Hi, I'm Leah! I provide dog sitting exclusively in my home on five peaceful acres in rural Minnesota. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm and have spent my life caring for animals of all kinds. I've owned multiple dogs over the years, including large and small breeds, and understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities. As a registered nurse, I am dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs who require extra support. I can administer oral medications and injections, follow detailed care plans, and provide attentive care for senior dogs or pets with special medical needs. My property offers a quiet, low-stress environment with plenty of space to explore, relax, and enjoy the outdoors under supervision. I have a tripod Pyrenees named Lola and she is very sociable! Whether your dog loves activity and adventure or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, my goal is to provide a safe, caring home away from home while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I'm home all day, every day! I work a couple of night shifts during the week but my own dog barely notices I'm gone because she's sleeping. During the day the longest I'm usually away is a couple of hours for errands or the gym. If your dog has specific supervision needs, feel free to reach out and we can discuss whether my schedule is a good fit. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow instructions carefully and make sure routines are done exactly the way you prefer, including feeding schedules, leash safety, and any medications or special care needs. I’m a nurse by background, so I’m very observant, calm in unexpected situations, and comfortable handling responsibility with attention to detail. I take trust seriously and understand I’m being welcomed into your pet’s space.
“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!”
“I was very impressed Marie and Mark. When we first went to meet them, Marie took Luna off her leash so she could explore the house. Luna jumped up on the couch to be next to them. They did not care and just petted her. The pics the sent was Luna going on walks and curled up next to them. I felt very comfortable Luna was just fine. Will use, for sure, again.”
“Taylore did an incredible job keeping me up to date with how my dog was doing by sending multiple pictures every day. Her property has plenty of space for dogs to run around and play. 10/10 would recommend.”
“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.”
“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!!!”
“Alexandra was so friendly and personable. She sent pictures and texts letting us know how our Lady was doing. Such a great relief to see that our baby was adjusting well and was in good hands. Will definitely use Alexandra again!”
“Vanessa and her family took good care of my dog Lady over a long weekend with a snow storm thrown in as well. Lady seemed to have a good time with a family unknown to her before now. She is tired now, so she got plenty of exercise while she was there. I recommend Venessa for your pets stay.”
“Awesome experience from start to finish. Couldn’t be happier. Tammy and John took such good care of our dog. We received multiple daily updates. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was getting lots of love and attention.”
“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.
“Lily was a great sitter for our dog! She was excellent about communicating in advance of the stay and was diligent about sending daily updates! Our dog loved their stay and got lots of playtime in with their two pups. She was also great about handling some anxiety at bedtime for the first couple nights. I could tell she is experienced with dogs and cared about marking our dog’s stay as comfortable as possible. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Jacky and her family were great! They were able to accommodate a last minute request and made us feel very comfortable. This was our first experience using Rover and we are so happy we gave it a try. Jacky was very sweet, responsive, and sent great pictures and videos. Our pup had a great time and seemed so comfortable and happy. We will definitely use Jacky for future pet care needs!”

“McKenzie was a wonderful pet sitter. Took great care of our two cats. Excellent communication, great follow through and overall good and genuine person. Will plan to use again! Thank you, McKenzie!”
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.
“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.”
“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 spent years caring for my own dogs and raising animals, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and an understanding of different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with animals and my dedication to their happiness, whether that means playtime, walks, or simply giving them the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is already a part of my daily routine. Between feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with my own dogs, I’m used to giving animals structure and attention every single day. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening walks, pets are always the center of my schedule. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space where they feel welcomed as part of the family. I stick to regular feeding schedules, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their routines as closely as possible, whether mealtime, walks, or bedtime, so pets feel secure and stress-free. My goal is to always create consistency, comfort, and trust.

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: I have owned medium-large dogs my whole life. I now work from home and have over 8 acres and walking trails all around my house. My dogs and I go for hikes/swims/walks daily. I also go jogging with my fathers hunting dogs as they love to run. Your dog will be provided with ample exercise and lots of play time. I live a very active lifestyle but we also love to just bunker down and relax! I love spending time with dogs and would be honored to treat yours as my own while you are away! Please do not hesitate to message me with any special requests or questions. Thank you for reading! I work from home and have a fenced yard. So you dog will never be alone unless I need to run to town for a little. I have a fenced yard and 2 dogs to help entertain your fur baby. If you prefer they stay separated that is possible as well.
“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.”
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.

“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!”
“Rebekah was amazing watching our pup and we loved all the pictures she took. Her pup was so sweet and played so well with ours. Rebekah was so easy to communicate and coordinate with!”

About: I have a small hobby farm where I take care of animals off all ages and sizes. I work remotely from home (although I’ve got the ability to travel) so I have time to frequently check on everyone and administer food and meds on a regular basis. Although I only have a partially fenced yard, I have plenty of leader lines and leashes available for potty breaks and exercise. I currently have two dogs and a cat that live in the house with me and are very friendly with other dogs. I have plenty of room for crates if your dog prefers to sleep in a crate, and room for doggy beds if they are particular about where they sleep. I’m also willing to pet sit/farm sit locally if your furry friends would prefer to stay home. I work remotely Monday-Friday. I usually work at home, but I have the ability to work anywhere there is an internet connection if you would prefer an in-home sitter. Working remote gives me the chance to be home all day where I can do potty breaks for my dogs and check on my farm animals. It also allows me to be available if there’s any special requests such as medication and specific feeding times. My cat is a “one cat” kind of guy (we’ll work on that), so for now, I would only feel comfortable hosting dogs ay my house. However, I am available to pet sit in-home for cats or dogs that might feel more comfortable at home. I’m very comfortable giving meds and sticking to a strict feeding schedule if your animal has medical/dietary needs. I’ve seen (almost) everything, so don’t feel like you’re asking too much!
About: I have many years of experience with all types of animals, especially dogs & cats! I grew up with dogs, horses, chickens, etc. & I’ve worked at a dog boarding & daycare & can handle many unique situations. I’m familiar with medications, nail trims, bathing, walking, brushing, & of course cuddles!! I truly believe all animals deserve all the love in the world. I will treat your pet like they are my own— making sure they are safe, happy, & loved! ❤️ I have a part time job overnight & my husband works days so there is always someone home to spend time with the pups! We have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets & treat them like our own! I am calm & patient with animals & let them go at their own pace with feeling comfortable. Some pets are quicker than others to feel comfortable & that is okay. I love all animals & will work with them to make them feel loved & have fun while their parents are away!
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.

About: I grew up around a variety of different animals and adored each and every one of them. From the time I was 10 I was taught how to care for pets of all kinds (from Bunnies to horses). My family took in senior dogs and gave them a home to be loved in for as long as we could. I have also raised 3 well behaved dogs from puppy hood (they do not live with me any longer) I work from home, for myself. Other than appointments for both me and my fur babies I have nothing really going on during the week. I am very flexible and can accommodate almost any temperament and personality your beloved pet may have. If we are in your home, I will want to know what the schedule you follow is so I can try and stick with it. If your pet is staying overnight, I will ask you to bring enough of their food, one or two toy(s) they adore and a comfort item like a blanket they've had for a while so they can be comfortable in my home with me

I also have a very large outdoor dog kennel enclosed & shade provided. I also have a dog park not far from my house, and am willing to bring your dog there given the service is requested! I am not a certified trainer however, I have trained my own dogs, family & friends dogs, and have been to multiple classes to learn! I also helped a friend train their aggressive large breed dog with specialized muzzle & obedience training. I specialize mainly in Sit, stay, roll over, and all the fun tricks! I can even help with potty training given the service needed! I have developed some amazing friendships, family if you will, along the way! I love your fur baby as if they are my own! Lastly, I would love to tell you a short story of how big my love is for animals. My soul dog Bella was diagnosed with OSA in 2024. I did everything from treatments, trials, surgery (given if it was best for her), home grown & cooked meals, and every last dollar to my name spent to save her. I ensured she had everything from ramps, to special harnesses, and even a wagon as she was a tripod in her late time. I will do anything for animals as I believe they are gods love sent to us in pet form! They truly are a blessing. I am currently taking the summer off of work as I transition my career from working, to owning my own business. I am currently wide open availability! I love to spoil & love on all animals! All animals are care for with safety & structure. From crate (if needed), going outside routines, food schedules, play time, & more! As stated before I have 2 rescue dogs who are both very young! Izzy is 3 and Prim is 2. Both High energy, and I am able to get them both adjusted safely indoor and outdoor!
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.

“At first I was a little hesitant at booking her due to a bad review but I listened to my gut and I couldn't be happier! She took care of my baby Archie just how I wished. I would definitely book her again. I'm not sure where the other reviewer is coming from, absolute nonsense. I would trust McKenzie with my baby over and over again.”

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. My week day schedule is pretty open, I enjoy going to the gym in the morning, but if needed I can set that aside:) When I dog sit/ walk my friends and families dogs I make sure to follow there instructions very thoroughly, every dog is unique in there own way:). 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: I have grown up with dogs of all kinds throughout my life, so being around animals has always been a natural part of who I am. While I currently don’t have a pet of my own, caring for others’ pets is incredibly fulfilling because it allows me to continue giving love and attention to animals while helping families feel confident their pets are in good hands. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I focus on providing dependable care, lots of attention, and clear communication with updates and photos so you always feel comfortable and connected while you’re away. I work from home full-time, so your pet will have lots of company, love and attention throughout the day—no long lonely hours here. I live in an apartment that has a dog park, and lots of nearby walking trails I go to daily. Since I don’t currently have a pet of my own, caring for others’ pets truly brings so much happiness into our home. I love creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I do everything I can to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident in my care.
About: 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: 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: Quality Care with reliability, punctuality, safety and most importantly fun and snuggles! I live in a dog friendly house and I'm a major dog person myself. I love going on walks with dogs (of all sizes). I'm great with feeding schedules and potty schedules. I've worked with dogs of all sizes and breeds for four years now. Need me to house sit? You Betcha! Poop Scoop? No problem. Let me know what your canine needs are and I'll most likely make those accommodations! I'm open to working with dogs with of all abilities as long as I'm made aware of what their needs are. My home is big with a spacious yard but it is not fenced..yet. I live in town but I have a good running route that I love taking my 4 legged friends! I hope to help you give your dog the best life possible. :)
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.
About: I lived with 2 cats for a majority of my life. I have experience watching animals for family and friends, looking to meet new best friends. I am currently working full time and going to school part time to earn my master’s degree. Looking for a fun side job to keep life interesting. I am open to having the animals out in the open or crated when not around. Would love to have a yard to play with animals, but not opposed to going to local parks.
About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and raising animals, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and an understanding of different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with animals and my dedication to their happiness, whether that means playtime, walks, or simply giving them the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is already a part of my daily routine. Between feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with my own dogs, I’m used to giving animals structure and attention every single day. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening walks, pets are always the center of my schedule. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space where they feel welcomed as part of the family. I stick to regular feeding schedules, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their routines as closely as possible, whether mealtime, walks, or bedtime, so pets feel secure and stress-free. My goal is to always create consistency, comfort, and trust.

“Candace & Jeremy were absolutely wonderful! Out dog, mikko, is a little anxious and higher energy being a Aussie but he did great and seemed to loved his time with them. We will absolutely be repeat clients of theirs and recommend them 10/10! Thank you both!”
“This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Jaymie made drop-off and pick-up easy and smooth, and I really appreciated the regular updates and photos while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was being well cared for. I would definitely book with Jaymie again!”
“I had never left my fur baby for a week before and was a little worried about how she would do. I needn't have worried at all. Jennifer sent pictures of Kenzie having a wonderful time running and playing. I will for sure be booking with her again. Thank you Jennifer and family for making Kenzie fell comfortable and at home with you. ♥️”

About: Hi, I'm Leah! I provide dog sitting exclusively in my home on five peaceful acres in rural Minnesota. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm and have spent my life caring for animals of all kinds. I've owned multiple dogs over the years, including large and small breeds, and understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities. As a registered nurse, I am dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs who require extra support. I can administer oral medications and injections, follow detailed care plans, and provide attentive care for senior dogs or pets with special medical needs. My property offers a quiet, low-stress environment with plenty of space to explore, relax, and enjoy the outdoors under supervision. I have a tripod Pyrenees named Lola and she is very sociable! Whether your dog loves activity and adventure or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, my goal is to provide a safe, caring home away from home while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I'm home all day, every day! I work a couple of night shifts during the week but my own dog barely notices I'm gone because she's sleeping. During the day the longest I'm usually away is a couple of hours for errands or the gym. If your dog has specific supervision needs, feel free to reach out and we can discuss whether my schedule is a good fit. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow instructions carefully and make sure routines are done exactly the way you prefer, including feeding schedules, leash safety, and any medications or special care needs. I’m a nurse by background, so I’m very observant, calm in unexpected situations, and comfortable handling responsibility with attention to detail. I take trust seriously and understand I’m being welcomed into your pet’s space.
“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!”
“I was very impressed Marie and Mark. When we first went to meet them, Marie took Luna off her leash so she could explore the house. Luna jumped up on the couch to be next to them. They did not care and just petted her. The pics the sent was Luna going on walks and curled up next to them. I felt very comfortable Luna was just fine. Will use, for sure, again.”
“Taylore did an incredible job keeping me up to date with how my dog was doing by sending multiple pictures every day. Her property has plenty of space for dogs to run around and play. 10/10 would recommend.”
“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.”
“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!!!”
“Alexandra was so friendly and personable. She sent pictures and texts letting us know how our Lady was doing. Such a great relief to see that our baby was adjusting well and was in good hands. Will definitely use Alexandra again!”
“Vanessa and her family took good care of my dog Lady over a long weekend with a snow storm thrown in as well. Lady seemed to have a good time with a family unknown to her before now. She is tired now, so she got plenty of exercise while she was there. I recommend Venessa for your pets stay.”
“Awesome experience from start to finish. Couldn’t be happier. Tammy and John took such good care of our dog. We received multiple daily updates. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was getting lots of love and attention.”
“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.”

“Lily was a great sitter for our dog! She was excellent about communicating in advance of the stay and was diligent about sending daily updates! Our dog loved their stay and got lots of playtime in with their two pups. She was also great about handling some anxiety at bedtime for the first couple nights. I could tell she is experienced with dogs and cared about marking our dog’s stay as comfortable as possible. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Our 2 dachshunds loved spending the weekend with Kayla! They are exhausted from having so much fun! GREAT communication, lots of photos and videos and they have the cutest pup who welcomed us with excitement to meet new friends! We’ll be using them every time we are in town!”
