“Deserae is a wonderful caregiver to my dog. He has stayed with her multiple times. Bear always comes home clean, healthy and very happy! She even sends cute photos to let me see how Bear is doing while I’m away. I highly recommend her services!”
About: I am local foster through a local rescue. My husband and I both have a passion for dogs and will treat your fur babies like they are our own! We have experience caring for puppies as young as 8 week and seniors. We are comfortable administering medications if needed and are familiar with pups who may have seizures. We don’t have any stairs so there is no need to worry about a senior pup who might have hip issues needing to climb stairs. I work full time and my husband works full time as well. Our schedules are staggered so your pup would be let out first thing in the morning by myself and then my husband will resume until he leaves for work. Midday we have a family member come over and let the dogs go outside and allow them to eat and drink as well as have some time to play. They are never left alone for more than 4-6 hours at a time. The days I’m off I’m home and my husband works from home 2 days a week as well. We have had this routine for over 4 years now with our own personal dogs and there has never been any issues. We had a brand new privacy fence installed on July 12th! We have a half acre back yard so dogs will have plenty of room to run! We will do our best to accommodate any special requests you may have. Please note our home was recently built so our grass is still in the process of growing. There may be days your pet becomes muddy if conditions are rainy. I am happy to provide a bath for your pet for a small additional fee upon request. I also highly recommend doing a meet and greet prior to your stay to ensure your dog will be comfortable with my pets and around the house.
“Amanda was fantastic - she was very communicative and sent me daily updates, pictures, and adorable videos of my pup!! It was so comforting having regular updates and seeing my gal so happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Brooke was so sweet and communicative! Our dog seemed to have a really great stay with her and looked very at ease in all the pictures. Honey was really happy and calm when we picked her up!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we were so happy we chose to leave Parker with Dylan and family during our vacation. We have what you might call a “Velcro dog” who thrives on being with people, so traditional boarding is not a great option for him. They sent us daily updates and treated Parker as one of their own during his stay. A+ service!”
“Raquel is AMAZING! My two fur babies stayed with Raquel for a several night visit. They were so very well taken care of. Every update I got, the girls were wagging their tails and had a big smile on their face. This was a big relief to me as it was the first time I had someone else care for them. I’m so happy to have found someone I trust with my babies. Raquel is a seasoned caretaker and has her home set up in a way where her guests thrive. I highly recommend!!”
“Gretchen is fabulous with my girls! Both times I’ve booked with her it’s been on short notice & she & her family have been more than accommodating! My two dogs are high-energy & used to getting a lot of attention at home! Gretchen has taken them in & treated them like part of her family! She’s made it easy for me to relax & actually enjoy my trips knowing that they are in great hands! And she’s great about sending me pictures to let me see for myself that they’re having a great time!”
“Ashley was just absolutely amazing! If I could give her 10 stars, I 100% would! She really went above and beyond taking care of our girl! We really enjoyed the consistent check-ins and pictures and appreciate the extra time she took to let us know how Harley was doing while we were away! I was so thrilled that she actually seemed to take the time to get to know our fur baby and treated her like one of her own! This was our first time boarding Harley, but Ashley made it so smooth and stress-free! Would definitely recommend and will be booking with her again in the future!”
“Ashleigh did great with my 2 weenie babies. She has a fenced in, safe yard. She text and sent photos everyday and was very accommodating to their needs. Definitely recommend her services!!!”
“Emily and her family are so sweet! She wanted the dogs to get acquainted with her before the stay, but I didn't have the time. Still, I appreciated the gesture. She was also very open to my schedule and was willing to watch my dogs at a very early time. She frequently gave me updates and photos which was a bonus. Would definitely come back to have her watch over Haru and Kobi again! ? A++++ experience.”
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs, cats, and horses from a young age. I also have experience in dog grooming, ranging from small to large dogs. I am fluent in American Sign Language. I am flexible as I work from home. I normally check pets at least two times a day, but more check in times are available upon request. I have a friendly dog who loves to play and make new friends. He will be very helpful in helping young dogs learn how to socialize.
“Thank goodness the world has people like Gerrad in it. My parents were on a road trip when my mother landed in the ICU. With practically zero notice, he stepped in like the hero he is to provide excellent care to their dog. He was empathetic, checking in on my mother’s health, and provided regular photos and updates which truly made her smile every day. Their dog was well cared for, walked, and cuddled with. We cannnot recommend Gerrad enough!”
“What a wonderful lady! My sweet Leo had a blast with Janie and her sweet Maui AND I made a new forever friend. So glad to have been blessed with needing a pup sitter so we could meet. This lady will love your pup just like you love them. 10/10 recommend! I even got lost because I am not from the area and she was so patient and kind!”
“Brooklyn was AMAZING! My dog has high separation anxiety and she catered to him in every way that she could to keep him comfortable. He was so content and relaxed with her plus had a great buddy to play hard with! She sent me lots of pics and kept me updated. I will absolutely use her again!”
“I’ll say it again and again…Cierra is amazing 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. Her and her family make leaving Hamilton just a tad easier on our hearts. He was so excited to visit the farm again and get spoiled. I have to admit, if she is not available to keep him on our next trip out of town…we will probably schedule around her calendar, not ours 😂”
“Anne watched my dog over a recent weekend, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. My dog can be a bit timid and struggles with some separation anxiety, but Anne was wonderful with her. She kept me updated with pictures and videos showing my dog calm, comfortable, and getting along beautifully. It gave me a lot of peace of mind, and I would absolutely feel comfortable leaving my dog with Anne again anytime.”
“Olivia was the perfect person for my senior dog! She knew I was nervous about leaving him and she sent pictures every day of our trip! He did so well and I will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have grown up with dogs since I was little. I have watched and feed firiends and neighbors dogs and cats. Dogs and cats are fun to have around as each has its own personality. I do work full time but afternoons, nights and weekends are available to help with your fur baby. I can be flexible with some of the services. I do have pets in the home to help keep your fur baby company. I will walk and play with your fur baby to endure to keep your fur baby busy.
About: I’m a dedicated cat lover with three kitties of my own, so I truly understand all the little quirks that make each cat unique, from playful zoomies to quiet, independent vibes. I have hands on experience with medication administration, post-surgical care, and even bottle feeding kittens, which has taught me a lot of patience, gentleness, and attention to detail. I’m comfortable keeping litter boxes fresh and creating a clean, cozy, low-stress environment your cat will feel safe in. I’ve also leash-walked cats for some safe outdoor exploring, so I’m open to working with both curious adventurers and homebody snugglers. I pay so much attention to each cat’s personality; I’ll match their energy, whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply giving them their space while still making sure they feel cared for and loved.
About: I have experience caring for cats with different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. I understand the importance of patience, gentle attention, and creating a calm environment where cats feel safe and relaxed. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to their routine, I make sure they receive loving, attentive care while you’re away.
“Olivia watched over our fur baby with the utmost care and diligence! Her reports were thorough, and her communication was spectacular. This was the longest my husband and I had left our cat, and we were nervous about it. Olivia put our minds to ease because of her open communication and frequent updates. We knew our boy was getting the best care possible, so we could truly relax and enjoy our trip. She truly went above and beyond, not just keeping our cat happy and healthy, but Olivia also took care of our home and kept it tidy and clean. I cannot recommend her enough! She truly cares about the pets she watches, and she is just a genuinely kind and dedicated person. You will not be disappointed by booking with her!”
“We are so pleasantly impressed with Breelyn overall customer service, communication skills and kindness towards our pets! She took the time to meet our cats before the scheduled visits, took notes with things expected of her during the visits and followed up with every single thing as discussed. We received daily updates and pictures, and she took wonderful care of our 3 ? while we were away (our sweet babies are older and of course particular in some ways). She's the best,and we will definitely ask for her assistance again in the future. Highly recommended! P.S. Additionally, Breelyn is one of the sweetest persons we've met in a long time, very responsible and professional. This young Lady will go far!”
About: I love working with animals! Friends and family have always relied on me to take care of their pets. I’ve taken care of countless animals, volunteer at an animal shelter, have had countless pets over the years, and have a hobby of rescuing stray animals. I would love to help with anything needed. Please reach out!
“I love the pictures and timely visits to my cats while away for christmas. She made sure they were fed and had clean water and took time to play with them even for a few minutes. This was beyond what we expected. I will hire her again if she is available when we go out of town again.”
“I am so grateful for Ara! She did amazing with my young, large dog who can be a handful sometimes. She was very attentive and went above & beyond, making sure all my animals had their needs met & enough attention and love. I appreciate the communication I received as well throughout my trip. Will absolutely be using her again!”
“Morgan’s an incredible petsitter! She checked in on my cats at the agreed to time every morning and sent along much-appreciated updates while I was out of town. Her photos were incredible! I know they were in great hands and I’ll definitely check with Morgan first the next time I need a sitter, and you should too.”
About: I volunteered at CARE which is a no kill pet shelter for cats and dogs in 2014 and recently started volunteering at this place again, February 2018. My duties included feeding and making sure the animals had enough water. Cleaned out kennels and cages and would take the dogs outside and walk them. I have had dogs and cats since I was born and currently had a dog who loved being around other cats and dogs. She loved to play with animals as well and loved children. Her name was Daisy she is in my profile pic with me. Daisy was euthanized on September 1st, 2023. I now have another dog whose name is Emma. She’s a year old and as long as it’s ok with a client I bring her to pet sitting jobs. She loves other animals including cats and loves to play. She’s lovable and affectionate and loves attention. I also have a cat and her name is Maizy. She is four years old and I got her when she was almost 4 weeks old. I would take Daisy for walks and if I could take her with me to other places I did. One of the places I took her was to the pet store. I no longer wear a mask unless I have to. If you prefer for me to wear one please let me know and I will wear one. I use to work at a job which required me to work a 10 hour shift. I am now working at a full time job which has 8 hour shifts. I can work around my schedule if needed. My supervisor does work with me on switching my days around if needed. I can’t keep your pet in my apartment due to rules and restrictions but I can come to your home. I will provide my own food and necessities.
About: I’ve actually been pet sitting for years and have volunteer experience with the ASPCA. I’ve cared for senior and special needs dogs. We love all pets though I’ve even pet sat lizards snakes and cats. My schedule is pretty flexible I work remotely as a contractor for a big company Monday through Friday. Although I’d prefer daytime bookings let me know what you’re needing My dogs eat chicken free food cause our pug is allergic. Mushu’s special care is we wipe his wrinkles & ears daily with a weekly bath. Buddy is a tank who can eat anything but he needs his paws trimmed once a month. Buddy deals with anxiety from being a sheepdog with no sheep so he has lots of toys and an occasional cbd treat.
About: I treat every cat with patience and respect for their unique personality. I’m comfortable with shy cats, seniors who need medication or extra care, and keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I provide gentle attention, clean litter boxes thoroughly, and send regular updates so you always feel at ease while you’re away.

“Franco had a wonderful stay with Deserae. Couldn't have asked for a better one, with huge yard to play in and with other dogs to socialize and be trained in. I would definitely seek her again if we are in the area. He was worn out from so much playing and running. Pics exchanged show how happy he was!”
“Our three dogs visited with Laura and Nash for two days of doggie day care. They had a blast! They love staying at Laura's and came home both days completely tuckered out. They even had a down day the next day! I was out of town and my husband had all day commitments both days. It was such a relief to have Laura take our pups instead of keeping them kenneled at home. It was the first visit for one of our dogs, and she loved it just as much as our other two who have stayed with Laura several times. We are very lucky to have Laura and Nash to keep our pups safe and happy!”

Animal care has always been something I’m passionate about. I know how important my animals are to me and so I will take the best care of yours while you’re away.

During the summer my availability will be wide open! My pets are treated like a member of the family. I think that animals in our care should be shown love and grace because we chose to take care of them.

I know how stressful it can be when you have to leave your pet for any length of time and would love to relieve that stress for you! 😊 I have a fenced in yard with a senior dog, Bella. She is such a great dog and is so aloof, like nothing bothers her! I am unable to board certain breeds due to home insurance restrictions and my senior dog so may not be able to accept every request, however, I haven’t turned one down yet!
“Raquel was so great with our 4mo old puppy during our first doggy daycare. She helped her socialize with the other dogs and was very mindful of size/age differences and always had a safety-first mindset. We loved the picture updates and video messages to put our minds at ease for our first day away from our fur-baby. Can't wait to use Raquel again in the future. Thanks!”
“I booked Nancy for daycare so I could have a Mom’s day out. Nancy did an amazing job with my German Shepherd, Otto. Otto was new to socializing with other dogs and she was so patient and allowed him to interact with her sweet little dog, Bailey. She gave Otto lots of attention and walks and sent picture updates to me. Her love of animals shines through. He was happy and relaxed when I picked him up. Nancy gave me detailed feedback about Otto’s day that was so helpful for me. I’m so grateful to have found Nancy and highly recommend her to give your dog the TLC he/shedeserves and peace of mind you need when leaving your fur baby.”

Whether it’s keeping them company, making sure they feel safe, or just spending quality time, I treat every pet. I am very patient and respectful with all animals and the spaces I care for them in. I and careful to return leave the space as I found it or clean up any space if requested.

About: I have lifelong, hands on experience caring for animals and specialize in supporting pets through every stage of life. I currently have a puppy (toy Aussiedoodle), so I’m actively experienced in potty training and reinforcing foundational commands like sit, stay, and come with consistency and patience. I also have extensive experience with senior dogs. I cared for my own from age 3 through 17, which gave me a deep understanding of advanced care needs such as medication administration, bathing, mobility support, doggy diaper care, and hand-feeding. I’m comfortable navigating the sensitivities that can come with new people and aging, including moments of discomfort or food related aggression, and always handle pets with a calm, patient approach. I currently care for two dogs and three cats, which keeps me very in tune with different temperaments, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to read animal behavior, adjust my care style accordingly, and provide steady, patient, and attentive care that helps pets feel safe and loved. My friends and family always call me for pet sitting needs due to my loving and bubbly personality and strong passion and dedication for animals. Pet care fits into my routine very naturally and I genuinely enjoy making time for it. At the moment, I have open availability 7 days a week, which allows me to be flexible and responsive for visits, walks, or other activities. I am currently in the process of interviewing for part-time positions, but I remain committed to prioritizing pet care and can easily accommodate visits before or after work shifts. I’m very flexible and happy to work around what’s best for each pet’s routine. I provide care in a calm, attentive, and safety-focused way that helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. When I’m in a client’s home, I always follow their routines closely so pets can stay in their familiar environment with minimal stress. I pay close attention to instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are handled carefully at all times. I also take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace—whether that means a gentle introduction, giving them space if they’re shy, or engaging with play and affection once they’re comfortable. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while keeping owners fully informed and at ease throughout the visit. I also have two dogs of my own if your fur baby is ever needing a friend. 💛
“This was my first time using Rover, and I had a great experience with Olivia. She went above and beyond caring for my dog and made me feel completely comfortable the entire time. Communication was excellent, and it was clear my dog was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Regina has been incredible. As our dog’s first walker, she worked with a very anxious pup who struggled with other dogs, people, and even environmental stimuli like leaves. Since Regina began walking her, we’ve seen significant progress—our dog is now more confident, enjoys her walks, and is more comfortable sharing space with others. We truly appreciate Regina’s patience and consistency.”
“Breelyn is so kind and such a good caretaker of our puppy. She is dependable and communicates efficiently and effectively. We are so thankful to have her as a trusted caretaker of our pet!”
About: From growing up with dogs to living and working at a mastiff rescue, and now sharing a life with my goofy, sweet blue heeler, Simone, my love for and experience with dogs runs deep. As a good friend once said, dogs can’t lie, and we can’t lie to them. Building trust is my first priority. I have a flexible work schedule with lots of daytime availability and am often available for overnights with notice. Weekdays and weekends open for scheduling. I have a large, fenced yard and a dog door in and out of the house with the option to close-off if necessary. I have one dog who loves new friends and sharing her toys.
About: I have taken care of senior dogs who are no longer themselves, dementia, potty issues, etc. I have taken care of kittens and puppies less than a week old as well ! I have an open schedule so most times of the day work for me. I would prefer nights or overnight sitting. It is very rewarding. I can easily defuse situations that aren’t going as planned. If crate training is something you do that’s no problem! I grew up around crate training and keeping your pet safe is my top priority!
About: I've taken care of my Chihuahua for 17 years. I also took dog training for a while. I'm super caring and love all animals. I will gladly watch your pet! I currently work remotely, full time so I will be able to take your pet out as much as they need. I am home most of the day. I live in a house with a nice fenced in backyard. My Australian Shepherd, Elsa loves to play fetch outdoors, while my Chihuahua tans in the sun.
About: I’ve been dog sitting/walking for five year for friends and family. I am willing to walk 3+ miles. I do not have any experience with cats. Didn’t know there was an app I could do it for anyone who needs it until now. I am willing to walk dogs on rainy days as well. I have a 3 year old and 1 year old who loves dogs I will be bringing along in a stroller. I make sure your dog is fed and watered. I walk them long enough to poop multiple times. I make sure they’re given a lot of attention and are well pet if they like it.

“Deserae is a wonderful caregiver to my dog. He has stayed with her multiple times. Bear always comes home clean, healthy and very happy! She even sends cute photos to let me see how Bear is doing while I’m away. I highly recommend her services!”
About: I am local foster through a local rescue. My husband and I both have a passion for dogs and will treat your fur babies like they are our own! We have experience caring for puppies as young as 8 week and seniors. We are comfortable administering medications if needed and are familiar with pups who may have seizures. We don’t have any stairs so there is no need to worry about a senior pup who might have hip issues needing to climb stairs. I work full time and my husband works full time as well. Our schedules are staggered so your pup would be let out first thing in the morning by myself and then my husband will resume until he leaves for work. Midday we have a family member come over and let the dogs go outside and allow them to eat and drink as well as have some time to play. They are never left alone for more than 4-6 hours at a time. The days I’m off I’m home and my husband works from home 2 days a week as well. We have had this routine for over 4 years now with our own personal dogs and there has never been any issues. We had a brand new privacy fence installed on July 12th! We have a half acre back yard so dogs will have plenty of room to run! We will do our best to accommodate any special requests you may have. Please note our home was recently built so our grass is still in the process of growing. There may be days your pet becomes muddy if conditions are rainy. I am happy to provide a bath for your pet for a small additional fee upon request. I also highly recommend doing a meet and greet prior to your stay to ensure your dog will be comfortable with my pets and around the house.
“This was our first time using Rover, and we were so happy we chose to leave Parker with Dylan and family during our vacation. We have what you might call a “Velcro dog” who thrives on being with people, so traditional boarding is not a great option for him. They sent us daily updates and treated Parker as one of their own during his stay. A+ service!”
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs, cats, and horses from a young age. I also have experience in dog grooming, ranging from small to large dogs. I am fluent in American Sign Language. I am flexible as I work from home. I normally check pets at least two times a day, but more check in times are available upon request. I have a friendly dog who loves to play and make new friends. He will be very helpful in helping young dogs learn how to socialize.
“Thank goodness the world has people like Gerrad in it. My parents were on a road trip when my mother landed in the ICU. With practically zero notice, he stepped in like the hero he is to provide excellent care to their dog. He was empathetic, checking in on my mother’s health, and provided regular photos and updates which truly made her smile every day. Their dog was well cared for, walked, and cuddled with. We cannnot recommend Gerrad enough!”
“Brooklyn was AMAZING! My dog has high separation anxiety and she catered to him in every way that she could to keep him comfortable. He was so content and relaxed with her plus had a great buddy to play hard with! She sent me lots of pics and kept me updated. I will absolutely use her again!”
“Anne watched my dog over a recent weekend, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. My dog can be a bit timid and struggles with some separation anxiety, but Anne was wonderful with her. She kept me updated with pictures and videos showing my dog calm, comfortable, and getting along beautifully. It gave me a lot of peace of mind, and I would absolutely feel comfortable leaving my dog with Anne again anytime.”
“Mickayla and her family were absolutely awesome to leave our dog with! She was very good about keeping us informed and sent us many photos and updates. Our dog had a blast and I felt very confident she was in good hands the entire time. Highly recommend!”
“Archie had a great time. He got home and was very tired from playing with his new friends. Nella did a great job hope he was was good for her we have not had him that long and we are still working with him. Will definitely use Nella again. We would recommend her to anyone. Thanks again Nella for the care you gave Archie.”
About: Hello! My name is Brooke and I have a precious English Springer Spaniel and had a beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog. I am a big dog lover and take my dog everywhere she can go with me! We love to hike, go biking, chase squirrels and the next door neighbors dog! I love spending time with animals, period, whether it’s playing with them or just taking them on a much needed walk! I also have house sat/pet sat for various families over the years and am extremely flexible with whatever families need. I have house sat/puppy sat from just a couple nights to several months at a time. I offer services of walking, in-home visits, over-night stays and quite frankly am flexible with any other situations that may come up! Thanks for reading and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I currently work full time and even though I love puppies, would prefer to watch dogs that have a well established routine and can be ok for sometime alone before I can come and walk them and play with them. This is part of my personal routine with my own puppy. At this time I do not have a fenced in yard at my own home, so talking my dog for a long walk on the trails near my house is a must! For families where I am watching not only their animal but their home, I like to work within their animals normal routine so as not to add any more stress to the owners or the animal.
About: I have grown up with dogs since I was little. I have watched and feed firiends and neighbors dogs and cats. Dogs and cats are fun to have around as each has its own personality. I do work full time but afternoons, nights and weekends are available to help with your fur baby. I can be flexible with some of the services. I do have pets in the home to help keep your fur baby company. I will walk and play with your fur baby to endure to keep your fur baby busy.
About: Walking, bathing, and hanging out with dogs is some of my favorite downtime activities. Growing up with a dog I learned all the necessary skills to watch over a dog. I even volunteered at the humane society in both the dog and cat area for four years! I am currently a teacher so I work from 7-4pm Monday through Friday, but if you need someone to walk your dog at night or house sit for the weekend or even a week night, I am your person! My husband also works from home so if you’re boarding during the week day he is also here to help out if needed. Whatever you need me to do is what I will follow. I will come to your place as my animals do not take well to strangers. But rest assured I will take great care of your animal, in whatever capacity you need. At our home we two cats that do well with other dogs but tend to ignore them, and one dog who LOVES other dogs so no worries there.
“Sabrina is fabulous! We were updated regularly on how our dog was doing while we were away, which I SO appreciated! Her attention to our "second child" allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more! We will for sure use her again and HIGHLY recommend!”
About: Growing up I’ve worked with dog’s and sometimes cat’s whether it’s with family, friends or even my neighbors! From a very young age others have relied on me to give their pet’s the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently working part-time, so I have more than enough time to give your pup attention. I’m available during the weekdays from 7am - 1pm and all day on weekends. I currently have a flexible schedule which gives me time to give your pet the attention they need. I can work most weekdays and I can also work around their routines to help them feel comfortable, and cared for.
“Brooke is very kind and caring! When she first met Finley, she got down on her level (Finley is very small) to introduce herself. Brooke sent pics and videos of Finley during my absence! Thank you, Brooke!”
“Bella was so well cared for! I really appreciated the thoughtful updates, photos, and the clear attention to her routine and comfort. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy, relaxed, eating well, and getting lots of love. I would absolutely recommend Sydney and would happily book again!”
