“Second time booking with Brooke. She is excellent. You will be so pleased. We will continue to use her for our sweet pup in the future. He comes home so happy and well taken care of!”
“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!”
“Our Doods, Toby + Dexter, had a great time staying with Amanda, and her precious family. They were all so attentive and played fetch, chase, hide & seek and of course - gave cuddles & kisses to Toby + Dexter. Amanda was sure to keep the fun inside, when it was too hot to play outside. The consistent photos and videos of The Doods, Toby + Dexter, kept our minds at ease during their stay. If you’re looking for a safe, fun and loving place for your four legged baby to stay, look no further.”
“Sunny had great fun playing with the other dogs. I loved receiving the videos of him playing with everyone while I was on my trip. My friends enjoyed watching them, too. Raquel did a great job taking care of him.”
“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 was great with all aspects of our dog's stay. Great communication before and during the stay along with pictures of how our dog was doing. Lucy was comfortable with Ashleigh and her home, and we look forward to using her again!”
“Our dog loves to come to the sitter! We highly recommended booking with Deserae. We can tell she loves the dogs and takes great care of them. I love receiving updates and pictures from her!”
“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.
“Gerrad provided excellent care for my dog. He sent regular updates and made sure she was comfortable throughout the stay. He stayed on top of her daily medications and was easy to communicate with. We will definitely use him again if we need a sitter!”
“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.”
“Olivia was the most welcoming boarder! My dog even had a hard time saying bye to her. She provided photos and messages on a semi daily basis and was available for any inquiries I had. I will definitely book Olivia for our next boarding need.”
“Our dog had a return visit with Kim and he had a great time! He’s made friends with her dog Benny and they loved playing and wearing each other out. I really appreciate that she sends updates and pictures throughout the stay and has been flexible and easy to work with. We are so thankful to have found her since we don’t have any family in town to watch our dog when we need to travel. Thanks Kim!!”
“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!”
“Emily and her family did an outstanding job watching our Sophie. We received photos and updates on how things were going all through our trip, which we loved. We will definitely be using Emily’s service's again. She is very kind and easy to work with. We recommend you contact emily to watch your pet.”
“Payten is sweet, easy to work with and she is in a convenient location. Jovie was her normal self the next day rather than needing extra rest, which tells me it was a very good stay. Payten also sent me several pictures that told the story of how she was doing, but did not overwhelm me. I would be happy to use her services again.”
“Kaitlin was amazing with my sweet Ruby! I left my fur baby for the first time in 2 years and didn’t have to worry one bit while away, she took amazing care of my girl.”

She looooooves him. I appreciate his thoroughness in ensuring her needs are met, Makes this dog mom’s heart smile to know she has a good caregiver.”

“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!”
About: I have tons of experience staying overnight watching animals from puppies to older dogs with several different breeds, I always had an animal at home growing up, and I think that is where my love for animals came from! I am currently working full time from 7:30-4:30 Tuesday through Friday. I do have availability from time to time when the Doctor I work for goes out of town. I am currently unavailable to board animals where I am staying however in the future I would be interested in boarding your fur baby where I reside!
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.
“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.

“Regina was lovely. She is very responsive to messages (very quickly), friendly, sent multiple updates throughout the day, and most importantly took great care of our kittens and home while we were away. Highly recommend!”

“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 have recently retired and am looking for something gratifying to help other Dog owners with the care of their pet! 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!

I started taking my young pup to her while I am at work a couple of days a week, and each time Murph comes home she seems full of love and ready to sleep from all of the playing! Every morning when we drive up to Raquel’s house Murph cannot get to her front door fast enough… she gets so excited to play with Raquel and her four legged friends! Thank you Raquel for treating my girl like your own!”

About: With five years of pet-sitting experience and 18 years caring for my own dog, I offer dependable, respectful in-home care. As a law student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent companionship, gentle handling, and a safe routine while you’re away. I’m free most weekends, and my weekday schedule is somewhat flexible. I am in class Mondays from 1PM-3PM, Tuesdays from 1PM-5PM, Wednesdays from 10AM-3PM, Thursdays from 1PM-5PM, and Fridays from 10AM-12PM. I just moved to the area, but I’ve been pet sitting for years.

I follow your pet’s routine exactly and keep your home secure while you’re away. Clear communication, safety-first habits, and gentle handling are my priorities. Your pets stay comfortable, your home stays respected.
“Cortney was very friendly, and she took great care of our two energetic dogs! Her place is clean and she was able to care for multiple dogs very well. She communicated well and promptly returned messages and also sent multiple pictures and a video. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we picked them up.”
About: I’ve owned at least one dog on my own since 2011. It’s me and my Dixie girl right now. She loves to play and also loves to chill on the couch! I work from home, so I am home most of the day to care for your dog! Frequent potty breaks, any type of feeding schedule, we can make it work! I have a fenced yard and love to be outside playing fetch or with other toys. I also love to lay on the couch and snuggle!
“Bree did a great job with my two needy dogs. We were in the midst of moving and with doors open, movers in and out, and Hoodini living again in the form of a dog, it was best they be some place more peaceful and secure. The second day there were excited to be out the door and off to the car to see Bree! They sat quietly most of the day watching doggy TV, which is what they needed. The dogs obviously liked her, even our shy reluctant one. I definitely taking them to her again! She knew they needed peace and quiet and gave them that.”
“Sydney is great! I needed a sitter for my new puppy while I’m at work while she gets adjusted, and Sydney has been amazing. Love that my dog gets a chance to socialize with new people, visit with some cats, and get tired out and sleep through the night. Sydney has been a great communicator and very easy to get ahold of, with lots of flexibility with my schedule. Would absolutely recommend her!”
“Miss Heather was so awesome! She got my nervous Brandy to eat and played ball with her, which made Brandy feel right at home. I loved the pics she sent when I asked how Brandy was doing, and she got back to me right away. I will definitely ask for her again when I come through town!”
“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!”

I'm free to stay at home all day with your pet. I always keep an eye on what's going on. I'm usually outside if our pups are. If I'm watching a pet at your home, I don't make messes.
About: I have grown up with a variety of pets and have come to consider them all a part of the family. From Geckos to Hermits, Fish to Frogs, and Cats to Dogs, I've housed a variety and have loved them all to the core! I am particularly familiar with Medium sized dogs, but I am no stranger to the big, the bad, or the snugly. For cats, I can be a bit squeamish when it comes to litter, but that is nothing a mask or a nose clip won't fix! As a full time college student, online classes allow my schedule to be very flexible. My grades are important, but nothing motivates me more than a happy pet and a satisfied customer! As someone who understands that home is a place to escape the daily riff raff, I am willing to keep visits as quick and simple as possible or as long and engaging as preferred. A meet and greet is encouraged so I can better understand the needs of your pet and so that the pet and I can become familiar.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life especially dogs and cats, even lived on farms so I have experience with a LOT of critters.

I am currently not offering care in my own home, but am available for daily walks, feedings, or stays in your home so you don’t have to worry about your fur baby being displaced!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats of my own my entire life. I also help my daughter take care of her 4 dogs and 3 cats when she travels. I especially love the senior dogs!

Please reach out! I am currently looking for a summer job before attending college in August. I am free almost any day this summer to come and take care of your fur baby!

About: I have a big heart, calm energy, and lots of attention. I care for pets like they’re my own, not just another booking. I live for loving animals! I’m in a season of life where I have the time and flexibility to care for other people’s fur babies while they’re at work or away. Animals have always been a huge part of my heart — my dream is to one day have a farm full of them. Pet care gives me the chance to meet and love others’ best friends in the meantime, and I truly enjoy every moment of it. We have a fenced in yard. Two cats and a dog to keep your best friend company. Happy to crate if needed. Will make your best friend the most comfortable and stick to any routines needed.

About: For over 10 years, I’ve been dedicated to caring for all types of cats and dogs, providing reliable and loving service to my family and neighbors. From playful puppies to calm senior cats, I’ve gained experience with pets of all breeds, sizes and personalities. My commitment to their well-being ensures they receive the best care, whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply offering companionship. I’ve built strong relationships with both pets and their owners, always prioritizing safety and happiness. I am very responsive and try to maintain clear, consistent communication. My availability is kept up to date on my calendar, and I am flexible throughout the day depending on bookings. I can come over for a quick feeding or to spend several hours with your pets, depending on what will benefit them the most. I work remotely, which allows me a lot of flexibility to provide care and attention throughout the day. On rare occasions, I may travel out of town, but I update my calendar well in advance to reflect any changes. I’m always open to coordinating schedules and finding arrangements that work well for both the pet owner and the pets. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to help and provide reliable care! I follow a consistent routine to make sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. In my own home, my dogs are let out in the morning, midday, and evening, along with daily walks to keep them active and engaged. They are seniors, so I’m experienced with slower paced care and administering medication on a strict schedule, including daily medication for heart disease. I’ve also cared for high energy dogs and puppies! I enjoy keeping them active through walks and play, while always adjusting to their individual needs and energy levels. With cats, I focus on creating a calm, lower stress environments so they can feel safe and build trust at their own pace. I stay on top of litter box cleanliness and make sure they get regular playtime and attention based on their personality. I aim to provide consistent and attentive care for all the animals I take care of!
“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!”
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. 💛
About: I have tons of experience staying overnight watching animals from puppies to older dogs with several different breeds, I always had an animal at home growing up, and I think that is where my love for animals came from! I am currently working full time from 7:30-4:30 Tuesday through Friday. I do have availability from time to time when the Doctor I work for goes out of town. I am currently unavailable to board animals where I am staying however in the future I would be interested in boarding your fur baby where I reside!
About: I've always had the ability to easily connect with dogs. I've spent the past ten years walking and socializing rescue animals as a volunteer at the Humane Society. I've worked with every age range, from puppies to senior dogs in hospice care. I bring that experience with me each and every time I work with an animal, as each and every animal is unique. Pet care is a part of my everyday life. I'm currently working part-time, leaving me with plenty of time during the day to take care of both my animal, and yours. I also volunteer my free time at the Humane Society. Communication is key. I'll set up guidelines and boundaries with you ahead of time, making sure each animal has their specific needs met during the visit. Leashes will always be used on walks and doors will always be closed and locked when not in use. Do you have certain areas, rooms, or furniture that are off limits? Boundaries will be set up and respected to ensure that both your pets and home will be treated with respect.
“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.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life, including pet sitting for many family friends. I have recently started working at a vet clinic as a tech so I have a lot of experience with all kinds of dogs with different temperaments. I currently work at a vet clinic 3-4 days a week. I’m available before and after work and all day on my days off. I am very responsible and will ensure your pet is taken care no matter the circumstances whether that is play time, walks, or feeding your pet will get the care they need.
“Katie is amazing! She came over and helped sooth my new puppy mom anxiety by making sure luna was taken care of, fed, and let out! She stayed to play with luna, which was not necessary, but greatly appreciated!”
“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: 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.
About: I have had big dogs in the home since I was born and took on the responsibility of caring for them around 8. I have experience with all ages dogs and can administer medication if necessary. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I’m currently working toward a second degree and commute to Springfield daily for classes, but I always make time to care for my cats at home. Having grown up with dogs, I understand the importance of consistency, attention, and companionship in a pet’s routine. My schedule is structured, and I’m used to balancing responsibilities—so I bring that same reliability and care to the pets I look after. 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.

“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!”
“Our dog loves to come to the sitter! We highly recommended booking with Deserae. We can tell she loves the dogs and takes great care of them. I love receiving updates and pictures from her!”
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.
“Gerrad provided excellent care for my dog. He sent regular updates and made sure she was comfortable throughout the stay. He stayed on top of her daily medications and was easy to communicate with. We will definitely use him again if we need a sitter!”
“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!”
“Payten is sweet, easy to work with and she is in a convenient location. Jovie was her normal self the next day rather than needing extra rest, which tells me it was a very good stay. Payten also sent me several pictures that told the story of how she was doing, but did not overwhelm me. I would be happy to use her services again.”
“Kaitlin was amazing with my sweet Ruby! I left my fur baby for the first time in 2 years and didn’t have to worry one bit while away, she took amazing care of my girl.”
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.
“Nella took such great care of our dog Trip! She provided frequent updates on his stay while we were gone and he came home happy and clearly well cared for. We would definitely rebook with her!”
“Emma was fantastic with our pups! She sent us lots of “pupdates” with pics. Took the girls on several walks, on outings to the park and even tried to teach them tricks. She went above and beyond with everything. I couldn’t have asked for a better first time Rover experience.”
“Laura took great care of Henry. She sent several photos and videos giving us reassurance that he was happy and content. She groomed him as a bonus! We appreciate care Laura gave Henry!”
“Lael is the perfect sitter. I know she took really good care of Rio and he had so much fun with her dogs. Will definitely use her again! Her place is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Perfect place for dogs to roam.”
“Jennifer provided excellent service. Our dog was loved and cared for as part of their family. We will be using her again - we have already reserved another time. She also provides excellent communication and updates.”
“My dogs received the best care from Sabrina. She communicated often and shared fun photos and videos. They loved playing with her dog Dottie and were well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Sabrina to anyone needing a loving dog sitter.”
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.
“Sydney and her husband took excellent care of my dog. It was our first time using Rover and they provided reassurance through pictures and nightly updates. My dog is very particular and requires daily medications and they handled everything very well. Definitely recommend Sydney for anyone looking for care for their animals.”
