“Mary did a great job for us in dire circumstances. My wife and I suffered serious injuries recently and could not take care of our, Dobby. Mary stepped up and took wonderful care of our boy for several weeks. She was great and we will use Mary again, without hesitation. Multiple thumbs up!”
“Ximena did a terrific job watching our timid toy poodle while we were on vacation! Her small dogs were friendly to mine. She clearly explained how she would keep her safe and what the daily routine is at our meet n greet, and sent pics and updates every day. As an added bonus, she lives very close! Will definitely use her again!”
“Sadie did a great job with my doggo. Lots of picture updates of her getting love and cuddles. She also has 2 other friendly dogs that make good play partners. I’d recommend her to anyone needing a good place for their dog to go!”
“Alicen took time to make sure humans and dogs felt comfortable and confident during the stay. She went above and beyond with communicating before and during my dogs’ stay with her and her pack. We felt she was exceedingly capable of handing all kinds of doggie dynamics and needs. Our dogs had a blast and made lots of camp friends! One of our dogs didn’t want to leave! We will book again with Alicen 100%.”
“Brock and Rashelle provided exceptional care for my beloved fur baby. Their kindness and affection truly shone through, making my pet feel right at home. He had a wonderful time playing with their pup, and I appreciated the daily walks and outdoor playtime they ensured he had. I also loved receiving regular updates and photos, which brought me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend their services!”
“My pups are typically pretty nervous around new people, but they made themselves right at home with Victoria. They had so much fun and I received daily updates which helped settle my nerves more than imaginable while we were away. Victoria was always available to assist with any questions and extremely accommodating to my boys needs. We will definitely try to book with Victoria again before considering any other options! 😊”
“Amanda was amazing! My dog had a great time and was in good hands while I was away. She provided frequent updates and was very understanding about drop-off and pick-up times with my pup. I will definitely be utilizing her services again very soon!”
“Catlyn is wonderful! Roo has a great time and seems right at home in Catlyn’s home! We appreciate the communication and photo updates. It’s clear Roo gets so much love at Catlyn’s!”
About: I have over 5 years of pet-sitting experience and have had dogs my entire life, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. What sets me apart is my commitment to providing personalized care and maintaining each pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. In addition to pet sitting, I occasionally volunteer at a puppy nursery that cares for rescued mother dogs and their newborn puppies. This experience has given me additional exposure to caring for young puppies, monitoring their needs, and helping provide a safe and nurturing environment during an important stage of their development. I am comfortable caring for multiple pets, administering basic medications if needed, and providing extra patience and attention to puppies, senior pets, and animals with specific routines. Whether a pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having companionship throughout the day, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to provide reliable, attentive care while keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. I am currently taking online classes over the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. My priority is always providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for pets. I live on 12 acres in a quiet setting and have one small, very friendly Cocker Spaniel. While my yard is not fenced, pets are always supervised outdoors and can be kept on long leads for safe exercise and exploration when appropriate. I never allow pets off-leash unless specifically instructed by the owner and it is safe to do so. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while keeping their environment clean and secure. I understand that trust is important when someone is caring for a beloved pet, so I maintain open communication and provide regular updates and photos. I also pay close attention to each pet's behavior and needs to ensure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout my time with them.
“Stephanie is amazing. She takes very good notes on what your pet is experiencing everyday. She left us a sweet little bag of treats for him to enjoy when he got home. Her communication is timely. I am definitely having my baby stay with Stephanie again.”
“Dani and her wife were great with our dog Lucy while we were out of town! They took extra time to get to know her and sent reports and photos each day. I really appreciated the love and attention they gave her, and Lucy got along with their two dogs after getting to know them. They have a nice home and fenced yard. Highly recommend!”
“Mindy was very helpful by coming to visit Scooter ahead of time, a couple weeks before he went to stay with her. They made a connection right away, as she seems to have a way with dogs. She sent pictures of Scooter while he stayed with her, which was reassuring. And she offered to bring him back to our house after we returned home, which was very helpful.”
“I needed to find a babysitter quickly and Haley accepted my last minute babysitter request. Kona enjoyed his stay! Haley sent updated photos throughout his entire stay to keep me tuned in with how Kona was doing. I loved all the photos that gave me reassurance that Kona was doing well. Thank you for taking good care of Kona while I was away. It makes me happy knowing that Kona was well taken care of when Im not available. I feel like Kona misses you. Thank you for being so good to me and Kona. We will be returning in the future.”
“Jennifer was great! Jersey and I just moved here and I had to travel for work this past week. She did a very good job keeping me updated on how he was doing. I saw that he made a few friends and got some super cute pictures as well ?”
“Erin did a great job taking care of my puppy for the weekend! When I went to drop Lottie off she brought her dog down so that they could meet on neutral territory, which was really nice and during the weekend she text me updates and pics every day. I liked that she only took one pet at a time in addition to hers, that made me feel much safer leaving my puppy there. I would definitely recommend and use her services again!”

“I needed someone to feed my kitties for a full week over New Years and Alissa was amazing! She was super responsive and easy to work with. She made me feel reassured and sent so many pics while I was gone! I'll for sure ask her to check in on my pets any time :)”
“Jennifer did everything I asked and she sent communications with each visit. Truman was a pill and wouldn’t come out and she was truly concerned until I said it’s his way. I’ll use see her again”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Higbee
“Great experience! Shannon and her husband are great and are obviously pet lovers! We have a nervous doggie and Shannon sent pics and updates. Will totally request them again!”
“Donna is great. She is so chill so all the pups are always just adorable toddlers playing in the yard, or napping on cots. Our giant baby has serious attachment disorder. Rescue dogs, eh? Anyway. Rough drop off our first time. This time, he started to get excited half a block away!!! It is so stress relieving to be able to drop off Boo, and go to appointments ts knowing he’s having fun with his friends. We will be back and back and back.”
“My dog has been getting daycare services with Ximena for about 3 weeks now and I couldn't be happier. Ximena is literally the most lovely and kind person I have ever met. She treats my dog as if she's one of her own. Ximena and her family are truly lovely people who genuinely love dogs. They always go above and beyond during my dogs visits, take tons of photos and give consistent updates. They cater to my dog and take such good care of her. I'm so happy that I found Ximena and I have no plans of ever taking her anywhere else.”
About: We have four pups of our own and often foster 2-3 puppies at a time. We are a dog loving family. We would love to host your pup! Long time pet parents! I am a stay at home Mom. We have plenty of time to offer play, snuggles, and walks while hosting your pup and keeping them company. We have four permanent residents that are spoiled rotten. Harlo is very chill and laid back, while Martin loves to play with our frequent visitors.
“Jennifer and James were such a God-send when Spenser and I were getting married last week!! Our wedding venue allowed for our doggie to be present at the ceremony (she walked the aisle in a flower collar and pearl leash :)!) but not reception, and so we needed not only a dog sitter but one who would be willing to pick up our girl from the wedding venue! James was happy to do it, showed up right on time, and our Chewie happily went with! They sent us cute pics of our babygirl relaxing on their couch and playing in their backyard during the wedding reception. It really put us at ease. We've never had to turn to Rover for dog sitting, usually we have family do it (obviously not an option when the whole family and friend-crew is at the wedding), but now that we know how amazing James and Jennifer are, we are forever grateful and liable to ask for their help again! Thanks SO much!!”
About: My home is a dog lover's dream — two friendly dogs already live here and are always ready to make new friends. We have a fully fenced backyard (please make sure your pets are on flea and tick medicine as ticks have been bad this year), loads of indestructible toys (thanks, BarkBox!), and an open-door policy between inside and out, so your pup can roam, play, and lounge whenever they please. I work from home full-time, which means your dog is never left alone — I'm always here. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, in the bed, wherever they're happiest. This is their vacation too. Whether your dog needs a playmate, a cozy couch to nap on, or both, they'll feel right at home. Pet care is genuinely woven into my day, not something I have to carve out time for. Since I work from home full-time, I'm always present — whether that's taking a mid-morning break to play in the backyard, keeping an eye on the pack while I'm at my desk, or just being available if anyone needs a cuddle or a quick romp outside. My own two dogs set the rhythm of the day — morning energy bursts, afternoon lounging, outdoor time whenever the mood strikes. Guest dogs just fold right into that routine. There's always someone to play with, always a sunny spot to nap in, and always a human nearby. My home is set up to be as dog-friendly as possible. The backyard is fully fenced, so dogs have safe, free access to outdoor space all day long — no leash required for backyard time. Inside, they're treated like family: furniture is fair game, the bed is open, and there are plenty of indestructible toys to keep them entertained. With two resident dogs already in the mix, guest dogs are never bored or lonely. There's always a playmate available, and I'm always nearby since I work from home full-time. I keep a close eye on group dynamics to make sure everyone is comfortable and playing nicely. I aim to keep routines as close to what your dog is used to as possible — feeding schedules, rest time, outdoor play — so the transition feels easy and low-stress for them. My goal is simple: your dog goes home happy, tired, and already looking forward to their next visit.
“Christine is the best dog sitter you could ever want for your pup. She is so kind and doesn’t mind if I drop Izzy off early. I feel my dog always has a great time and is safe with Christine.”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with dogs and have never thought of them as “just pets”, they're family! I've raised both a Beagle and a French Bulldog from puppyhood and have experience caring for senior dogs as well. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality, whether they're energetic and playful or happy to spend the day snuggled up on the couch. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust when you're away. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. I'm a stay-at-home mom and work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pup attention, playtime, walks, and lots of love. Your dog's happiness and safety will always be my priority. We even have a separate room available for them who would feel more comfortable having their own quiet space while staying with us. My family recently moved to Missouri from Hawaii, where I had the opportunity to care for many wonderful dogs. I truly enjoy being around animals and would love to treat your furry family member like one of my own. For me, the pet care including my dog is the most priority in my life. I’m currently working as a freelance so my schedule is very flexible! I can definitely change my schedule to suit to your request, please feel free to let me know! I will pay my FULL attention to our dogs all the time, and if you have any requests I’d love to do anything you and your dog will love! Your pets' happiness and safety will always be my priority. We even have a separate room available for them who would feel more comfortable having their own quiet space while staying with us.

About: I have been watching dogs for over ten years and absolutely love it! I believe it’s my responsibility when I have these dogs to take care of them like they were my own. I do not have a full time job so I am able to watch/walk dogs during the day! I do part time substitute teach, but for the most part, my schedule would revolve around my daughter and the dogs. I do whatever the parents feel comfortable with! My biggest thing is to make sure the dog is loved and comfortable and so I like to take care of the dogs like they were my own!
“Alissa is awesome! I contacted Alissa and we did a meet and greet a couple of days later and it’s a perfect match! Alissa is great with Miley. They walk down to the lake and back 5 days a week. I am so thankful for her!”
“Jennifer’s walks are absolutely the best thing for my dog Bärli! I frequently have to work late so Jennifer’s walks in the afternoon are giving my dog time to socialize and some extra exercise. She is always prompt and punctual with her schedule. Cannot recommend enough!!”
About: I have been pet sitting and walking for more than 4 years. I have a variety of experience to boarding in my home, drop in visits, house sitting and walking. Families have trusted me with their pets and their homes with no issues. I can provide references on the exceptional care I provide for animals. If your pet takes medications I am willing to administer it. I will play and cater to your pet. I follow the routine that you already have your pet and send plenty of photos. Rest knowing that you have a trusted person that will go above and beyond for your fur babies. Contact me today for any questions, booking information or to schedule a meet and greet. Please keep in mind rover takes 20% out of pay. Looking forward to caring for your pet/pets 💙 Thank you Please contact me regarding scheduling I am willing to accommodate your needs but would need a heads up on scheduling prior to be able to do that. I do my best to make your fur babies feel like they are at home. Safe, comfy and cozy to make them feel loved. My environment is quiet, and my home is peaceful.
About: You will not be disappointed by the quality of care you receive when your dog(s) is in my care. I have loved helping others with their family needs since I was young. My career as a nanny involved helping families for over 10 years with their children, animals, and other needs. I believe they are our four-legged babies. They will receive my full attention. You will receive pictures and messages throughout my time with them. They will only eat and play with the things you allow. We do have plenty of dog toys if they are pre-approved by you of course. We now have a lovable 10 year old mini schnauzer of our own who loves being around other dogs. Our children love being around other animals as well. They understand how to be kind and gentle to animals. I do, unfortunately, have some allergies and can only care for hypoallergenic dogs. Please ask if you are unsure about your breed. We have a large fenced-in yard and our house is conveniently located with easy access to a lot of surrounding towns. Thank you! My schedule is very flexible. Some days I run my children to school or daycare and back whenever it is convenient for us. I am a stay at home mom always looking to help others. Our yard is very large and fenced-in. Yadi is our mini schnauzer. He is almost 10 years old and loves being around other dogs. We are close to North highway 63, but live in the quiet country with a lot of nature and wildlife. Our gravel road is perfect for walks. And since I am located in between so many local cities I don't mind driving to care for your pup. I can easily crate your animal for you, as well. Let's discuss what you need!
