“We cannot say enough good things about Sharon as a dog sitter. She and her husband made our fur-baby Callie feel like she was just at an extension of our home. It made our vacation stress-free knowing Callie was being taken care of so well. This was our first time leaving Callie with a sitter and we wouldn’t hesitate to do it again with Sharon.”

About: •LICENSED, INSURED AND BONDED PROFESSIONAL PET SITTER• If you are new to Rover, I encourage you to use my promo code KAYLAM49673 when booking with me to get $20 off your first service! I've always had dogs in my family growing up, which lead me to finding my passion in caring for animals. I have experience in giving pups medication, grooming, identifying illnesses, and body language thanks to my last job at a doggy daycare! I've been around and cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes! I understand how important your furry family members are and will make sure they have everything they need (and make sure they have tons of fun of course!) I have experience with cats as well, having two of my own and taking care of our local strays. :) I also have experience in taking care of chickens, ducks and fish and am comfortable with any other pets you may have! I have respect and compassion for all animals and would love to provide them with the love and care they deserve. I am currently pursuing Rover full time so I have lots of flexibility. Let me know what your schedule is and I can be available whenever you need me! I understand the meaning of integrity and integrate it fully into my services. I will treat your home and your animals as if they were my own. The same goes for any pets boarding with me as they’ll be part of our family while they’re in my home. I can give them a safe environment where they feel loved and secure.
“Nicole & Gary were wonderful!!!! Our pets hadn't been boarded in several years and are now seniors. We wanted them to be boarded together. Nicole went out of her way to alleviate our pets anxiousness. She sent pics several times per day and kept us updated with anything out of the ordinary. I would recommend them highly, especially if you are unsure about leaving your animals. We will definitely book with them in the future if we need to.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years and have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a lifelong dog owner and elementary school teacher, I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to every pet’s unique needs. I have a large fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run and play, as well as a friendly black Lab who loves having canine visitors. He’s playful and social but also respectful of dogs who prefer a quieter, more relaxed environment. Whether your dog needs exercise, cuddles, medication, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently off for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs daycare, overnight boarding, walks, or drop-in visits, I’ll make sure they get lots of playtime, exercise, cuddles, and companionship. I can accommodate most schedules and will do my best to meet your pet’s routine. Safety, Trust & Environment My home is a safe, welcoming place for dogs to relax and have fun. I have a fully fenced yard where they can run and play under supervision, and my friendly black Lab enjoys having visitors but is gentle with dogs who prefer their own space. Whether your pet is energetic or more laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I maintain a clean, secure environment, closely supervise outdoor time, and follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions provided by owners. My goal is to make your dog feel right at home while giving you peace of mind.

“I could not have asked for a better host. Ashley is extremely sweet, caring, responsible and very thorough. I felt completely comfortable leaving Abby in her care. Ashley's dog Sally is a sweetheart and got along very well with Abby. I loved that Abby would have a playmate during this stay. Ashley was also very communicative. She sent me texts to ask any questions as well as regular photo updates throughout the stay. When I picked Abby up, I could tell that she was happy, playful, and well taken care of. Thank you, Ashley & Sally! See you very soon!”
“Wonderful communication! She was super flexible with pick up and drop off times. Her dogs got along so well with our pup! He truly seems like he had the best time playing all weekend long! Cecelia sent us picture and video updates and responded super quickly anytime we wanted to check up on him. I HIGHLY recommend her and felt super comfortable leaving our puppy dog with her!”

Grant responded to all of my text inquiries promptly and provided me the assurance and peace of mind that my dog was being well looked after and taken care of.

Cat caregivers near you - Higginsville
“Madilyn was amazing! She made sure both of my cats were getting the right food, cleaned the litter boxes, and spent time with my more social cat. She did everything I asked her to do, and both of my cats were happy and healthy when I got back home. I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care, and really recommend her!”
About: Hello fellow cat lovers, First let’s be real, when you have a cat, you don’t own them, you are their servant. My four cats remind me everyday. As soon as 5:30 am hits, they all let me know it’s feeding time. As soon as I walk through the door. I have 4 seconds to drop my stuff and feed them, or I will be yelled at. I can’t afford another negative yelp review for taking more than 4 seconds. But jokes aside I care deeply about the well being of my cats. I’m checking teeth, their coats, paw pads, check for any changes in poops, or behavior. My cats eat a well balanced diet and have different dietary needs. I also take care of one community cat. She comes and sleeps on my back deck, brings me dead mice (my favorite) and always wants to be pet. That is my everyday with cats and I love every minute of it. I would love to get to know your cats and gain their trust!
“Ashley did such a great job with my cat while I was away. She was very accommodating for a last minute request. Even though my cat is very shy to new people she still would check to make sure he was around somewhere and would send pictures. She did more than I could ask for during her drop in visits.”
“Daphne is a wonderful person and she took such great care of my cats! Daphne sent daily reports and pictures so I knew exactly how my babies were doing. I would hire Daphne again in a heartbeat A+.”
“they always do a great job of visiting my kitties when i’m out of town! karisa and emily are very friendly, flexible, and easy to work with. they are definitely some of my favorite people to book when i go on trips.”
About: I've had animals all my life. I worked in a vets office for 5 years and ran my own petsitting business. I am able to care for animals with medical needs. I managed a home for the developmentally delayed for 4 years and have the patience to serve all your needs. Currently I have not been working and can do pet care 100% to others schedules to create my own. I am ready to fill the needs of whoever requires it. I have handled alarms system codes, door codes, garage codes, keys to many houses trusted by the owners. I am thorough in learning about your animals and your preferences for their care. I only want the best for them so you can feel secure while you are away.
“Gabrielle went above and beyond to make sure that my three cats were happy and comfortable while I was gone. I will definitely call on her again to care for my furry family.”
“Jessica has been our go-to sitter for our last 3 trips!! She is so wonderful at taking care of our 2 cats and really takes the time to provide the love and care they need! I'm always worry-free when we are away from home as long as Jessica is watching our fur babies :)”
“I've used Michaela for years now and and not only do I trust her with my 4 cats, but my house as well. This last trip took 10 days and not only did she come in and feed, water, clean litter boxes, but also brought them new toys and treats, and made sure my house was presentable for prospective buyers.”

About: I will ensure your pet is safe at all times. I have 3 dogs myself and they are all different sizes. I play with them, walk them, they get fresh food and water twice daily. I make sure in this heat that they stay cool. They are never locked outside or tied up. My smallest little girl always sleeps with me. I've never hurt an animal. I've passefmy love for pets onto my kids. One daughter is studying to be a vet. I'll treat yours as my own. I do anything asked of me. If they need meds or baths I can do that as well. Nail trimming I can do if they aren't scared of the clippers. My baby girl is but I still do it.
“What a relief...so glad we had Gabby. Was happy not worry about my furbaby while out of town!! Gabby was a excellent pet sitter for my cat-She fed and comforted him until we returned. Followed all requests and instructions...will definately have her watch over him each time we leave town!”
“Kelsey is amazing! She is so attentive and I honestly believe she loves my animal as if it were her own. She leaves the best River cards of the visits. I absolutely recommend her!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I love dogs so much and I enjoy the different personalities they have. I am familiar with training dogs as well. They tend to trust me. I currently have a cat and she is so precious. So cats are also welcome as well. My schedule is pretty open as of rn I can take care of your pets on anyday of the week. I do DJ on late Saturday nights so that is the only day that I would not be available but besides that I can be there for your loved one! I try to feed my pets at specific times of the day. And I take the dogs out for a walk usually after everytime they eat or after a long nap. For cats we have a patio so if they like going outside they can stay on the patio while I am watching them.
About: I’ve had a cat since I can remember. My first cat Christopher looked like a Halloween cat all sleek black and skinny. I remember begging my parents to keep him. Since him I’ve had and fostered several over the years. I used to take care of my friends mean old Russian blue whenever her family went out of town and he never bothered me. Just had to know him and what he would do. I’m not scared of any of them and love hearing their happy purrs.
About: My name is Neha, I’m a recent pharmacy graduate who is looking to find some amazing, cute pets to sit! I don’t have any pets, so I am eager to take every opportunity that I can to look after some cute fur babies! I am very kind, responsible, understanding, and will work with you! Although I do not have any pets, my desire is to have my own pet in a few years after I am more settled down! Taking care of your pets would give me the opportunity to experience what having a pet is like and all the responsibilities that come along with it. I love dogs of any shape or size. 🐾 I am currently not working and am just using my time to study for my upcoming pharmacy board exams from home. Pet sitting would give me some excitement to look forward to in my usual day to day routine. I make sure to follow the schedule as laid out by the pets owners. I will also continue to ask questions and provide updates regarding the pets to owners.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Higginsville
About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I was a kid! I currently have three dogs of my very own who I love more than anything. I’ve recently gained experience taking care of chickens and ducks as well! I can take care of pretty much any animal as long as I am comfortable doing so and shown what to do beforehand 😊 My schedule is currently very flexible. I’m good with set schedules as long as they fit my own, or just sporadic check ups! I am currently a stay at home mom during the day and have a part time job 3 nights a week. Please note that during the week I may bring my kids with me for walks or drop ins, but they will be in a car seat/stroller the entire time. 😊 I’ve recently decided to start doggy day care in my home! This will be up to my own discretion since I have two younger children in the home and three dogs as well, so I want to make sure all pets are a good fit!
“Aside from being great with our dogs, I have to compliment Grant on his communication. He responded to all of my messages promptly and professionally and kept me in the loop during my 2 dogs stay. It really helped put me at ease about their first stay. My dogs came home calm and tired which tells me they had a great fun time with him. Thanks, Grant!”
About: Hi! I’m Chloe, an experienced Assistant Manager at a doggie daycare with 5+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I offer a safe, structured, and loving home environment on 3 acres of land, perfect for pups who prefer a more personal alternative to large boarding facilities. What you can expect: * 🐕 Supervised outdoor time (walks or secure tie-outs — never left unattended) * 🐾 Off-leash freedom for dogs with reliable recall * 💊 Medication administration (excluding insulin) * 🧠 Knowledgeable handling based on dog body language and behavior * ❤️ Plenty of attention, care, and structured play Requirements: * Dog-friendly * Non-aggressive toward people or other dogs ⸻ 🛁 Add-On Grooming Services * Bath: $20 * Deshed Bath: $40 * Nail Trim: $8 * Nail Trim + Grind: $10 * Anal Gland Expression: $15 I am currently working full time as an assistant manager at a local doggie daycare. I generally work 6-3 shifts but can sometimes change. Feel free to ask and I’ll let you know my schedule. My pups get let out once early in the am (if they eat breakfast they will get fed shortly after and let out again before I leave).They stay up until I am back home from work where they get let out again. I generally try to keep the dogs outside for an hour-2 depending on the day. (Weather, and dogs energy level is put into account). Once everyone is done playing and going potty I will then start feeding dinner.
“Sophie had a fun day playing with Sprout and was well taken care of while I was away. She came home exhausted, and for me a tired pup is a happy one. :) Thank you for all the photos and vids Kathleen! Hope Sophie gets to visit and play again soon!”
About: I’m Yulian but also known as Julie! I’ve always loved dogs, especially when I was young. I was like any typical kid, wishing and hoping my parents would give me a dog. I would dog sit a lot of family friends pets and always felt drawn to them. If I’m at work or house sitting, my husband is home so don’t worry your pets will never be on their own. I live in an a 4-plex house, and have 1 dog but she’s extremely lovable and loves meeting new paw friends! I do also take her on walks and runs in the mornings/sometimes evenings, I would be more than happy to bring your dog along. I treat others pets like if they were my own. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pet(s) somewhere you’re not around, but I’ll make sure to make them feel loved. As mentioned I’m a fairly active person, so I would be willing to take your pet on a walk or even the dog park. As well If needed I can administer medication and take them a bath!
“My two small Chihuahua mixes absolutely love their time at Mike and Sharon's! We use them mainly for daycare and they usually always have a couple small puppy friends there, so they are exhausted and sleep all night when they get home! We have used them for boarding too and have nothing but praise. If you need a sitter or lower stimulation doggy daycare, Sharon's your girl!”
About: I recently retired from the Navy and now live with my wife on 9 peaceful acres, just about a mile and a half off Highway 50 near Powell Gardens. It’s just the two of us here—no kids, no pets at the moment, aside from two laid-back turtles. We’ve had dogs in the past and loved every minute, but after moving frequently, we decided to hold off for now. That said, we’d love to show care and attention to your dog as if they were our own. Since I’m fully retired, I’m home throughout the day. I usually go for a daily walk for exercise, which works perfectly if your pup enjoys a good stroll. Our ranch-style home has pet-friendly vinyl floors and tons of open space to explore. While we don’t have a fenced yard, there’s plenty of room to roam—just let me know if your dog needs to stay on a leash and I’ll make sure to accommodate that. A Quick Note About Your Dog Please feel free to share any special needs, preferences, or routines your dog might have. And of course, if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m genuinely excited to meet your doggo! I am fully retired so I can be home all day. Typically, I exercise with a walk so that would work with the dog as well. I have a large ranch style home with pet friendly vinyl floors. In plenty of land for dogs to run around I do not have a fenced in area so if your dog needs to be on a leash that is fine I just need to know.
About: Growing up on a farm in East Tennessee, I was always surrounded by animals of all sorts! I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, poultry, rabbits, and more! I truly love caring for other people's animals and treating them like part of the family. To me, pet sitting is more than just a job—it's an opportunity to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away. I’m currently a stay at home wife after getting married a few months ago! My schedule is very flexible, especially during the day on weekdays. I live in a duplex with an unfenced yard. I have a spare room that can easily fit a crate if needed and a walking trail just a few minutes down the road to get your pup’s energy out if needed!

About: I had a dog a few years ago when I was young but unfortunately we had to let him go. My love for animals has always been strong and over the years I have regularly cared for friends’ and family’s dogs during that time, including both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. While I have limited experience with cats, I’m open to caring for them and excited to learn more if given the opportunity. I work a part-time job and work only 2-3 days a week so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, so I can accommodate a variety of needs, including extended stays or last-minute bookings. I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with a big fenced yard. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I absolutely love animals and will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and has a sweet, stress-free time while in my care.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Higginsville
“Ashley is great! Our dog, Arlo, is a 75lb, 8 month old puppy and while he is the goofiest, most loving guy...he can also be a pain in the butt sometimes. Ashley handled Arlo (and our home) with great care. She is reliable and has great communication. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and loving dog walker!”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and take great pride in providing reliable, caring pet-sitting services. Having grown up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from household pets to livestock. This background has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I attend school online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to travel for pet-sitting jobs and even stay overnight when needed, as long as there’s Wi-Fi so I can keep up with my classes. Since I’m currently applying for more jobs, my availability is open and adaptable, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets whenever I’m needed. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible so the pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also take time to clean up after them, whether that’s refreshing litter boxes, wiping paws, or tidying up their spaces. If I’m staying overnight, I make sure the home stays neat and the pets get extra attention and companionship. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and loving environment while keeping the owner’s home just as they left it.
About: Hello! I have been a dog sitter for a few of my teachers. I have my own cats. I am also going to school for wildlife biology. I go to school and work, but I have plenty of time in between! I am able to do intermittent visits for feeding and walks, overnight care, and morning visits! I follow directions to a tea and have never had a complaint! I love animals so much and treat other peoples animals as I would treat my own.
About: I have three dogs, two wonderful twin golden retrievers that are 5 years old. They are my whole world and so are my sister and brother’s dogs/cats! My sister has been doing rover in KC for over 7 years so it’s been a great way to experience rover and the necessities for all kinds of pets. Additionally, I’ve been a volunteer at Unchained Melodies puppy nursery and KC Pet Project for the last few years <3 I’m currently a post-graduate student preparing for medical school here in a year so I have a lot of time for longer term pups. I’m preparing for work part-time as well in the fall but I have a very open and flexible schedule. I have helped dog sit for years now and of course I’ve taken care of my own dogs since they were just babies. Unfortunately, I’m unable, for the most part, to have animals stay at my house however, I’m open if necessary. I walk and feed my own dogs daily and they take a lot of space so I want them to feel comfortable in their own environment.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals (some were rescues and some came from the farm) and now share my home with two cats, so I know that every pet has their own personality. Over the years I’ve provided pet sitting for friends, family, and the military community, offering drop-ins, dog walks, and overnight care. I also volunteered as a foster for dogs and cats, including high-energy puppies and even a senior hospice dog. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs—including administering medications. With my nursing background, I bring patience, responsibility, and attention to detail, while my experience as a military spouse makes me adaptable and dependable. Most of all, I want pet parents to feel secure knowing their animals are safe, loved, and cared for while they’re away. I am currently a stay at home wife, supporting my husband in his military service. And that gives me free time to spend with our loving furr family members and provide the same care to other pets. My schedule is very flexible to help other families out. In my home, pets are treated like family. They’re welcome throughout the house, and depending on the owner’s preference, they may join us on the couch or bed. We have a fenced yard, and I provide potty breaks every 2–3 hours (or more if needed), with daily walks in the cooler morning and evening hours. New pets are introduced to my own cats slowly and safely, using baby gates and separate spaces if necessary. Anxious pets are given a quiet room of their own, puppies enjoy extra playtime, and seniors receive the gentle attention they deserve. I ask owners to share their pet’s daily routine and favorite items like beds, blankets, or toys, so they feel right at home. Every day, I send photos and videos to keep owners connected and reassured that their pets are safe, loved, and comfortable
About: I will ensure your pet is safe at all times. I have 3 dogs myself and they are all different sizes. I play with them, walk them, they get fresh food and water twice daily. I make sure in this heat that they stay cool. They are never locked outside or tied up. My smallest little girl always sleeps with me. I've never hurt an animal. I've passefmy love for pets onto my kids. One daughter is studying to be a vet. I'll treat yours as my own. I do anything asked of me. If they need meds or baths I can do that as well. Nail trimming I can do if they aren't scared of the clippers. My baby girl is but I still do it.
About: I’ve also had guinea pigs and rabbits and birds and goats. I love all animals and am happy to care for them no matter what shape or size. They all deserve love and attention and as long as I have solid instructions then I got it covered and they’ll feel like they’re my own babies. I’m currently unemployed. I’m getting certified to sell insurance and am home. I have two children in pre school and elementary school and the extra money would help a lot in this transitional period. I can happily come to your home and give your animals all the love they need. I’m in an apartment so coming to my home isn’t available currently but I can do check-ins or extended stays at your home depending on what you need.
About: I worked at Summit Pet Care for four years. I worked in the daycare, front desk, and kennels department. I have made valuable relationships with several clients. For those clients I have pet sat for them while they have been out of town. I have also walked many of their pups during a busy for them. I work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and the rest of the week make time to exercise my own dog. Along with getting online classes done for UCM.. I care for my pets by always getting them with a clam but happy energy. First thing I always do with any pup is take them outside making sure there are no accidents in the home. If I am just meeting the pup I always allow them time to get used to me and make sure I am a loving person.
About: My name is Nicole, I have roughly 20 years of experience. I’m a certified Veterinary Assistant from Animal Behavior College. I did an externship at a vet clinic before receiving my certification at Animal Behavior College. I completed it in 2017. I have had animals all my life mostly cats and dogs. I have two dogs myself one is a Corgi/German Shepard name Jaxx ( 7 years old) and a Belgian Malinois named Nido who is (8 years old). Both of them get along with other animals and people. They both have amazing personality’s and are characters. I am very flexible and accommodating to your animal needs. Any questions or concern I’m an open book and keep communication open between both parties. My job is to give you peace and mind that your fur babies are taken care of.
About: I've had animals all my life. I worked in a vets office for 5 years and ran my own petsitting business. I am able to care for animals with medical needs. I managed a home for the developmentally delayed for 4 years and have the patience to serve all your needs. Currently I have not been working and can do pet care 100% to others schedules to create my own. I am ready to fill the needs of whoever requires it. I have handled alarms system codes, door codes, garage codes, keys to many houses trusted by the owners. I am thorough in learning about your animals and your preferences for their care. I only want the best for them so you can feel secure while you are away.
About: I’ve been around dogs for the past 6 years and absolutely love spending time with them. I’m patient, friendly, and always do my best to make sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. I understand what dogs need, whether it’s playtime, a good walk, or just some quiet company. Every pup is different, and I make sure to treat each one with the attention and love they deserve. Taking care of animals is just part of my everyday life. I’ve got a handful of dogs at home, and they’re all very different, some full of energy, some more laid-back. My day usually starts and ends with walks, feeding, and playtime, and in between I’m checking in on how everyone’s doing. I’m used to balancing different routines and personalities, so giving each pet what they need just comes naturally. My older dog needs a little extra help, so I take time to help with potty breaks and sometimes hand-feed when needed. I make sure he’s comfortable and not rushed. My younger dogs are more active, so we go on walks, play outside, and spend time burning off that energy. I try to keep things balanced—making sure everyone gets the attention, care, and patience they need. Each of my dogs is different, and I’ve learned to adjust to what makes them happiest and most comfortable.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I love dogs so much and I enjoy the different personalities they have. I am familiar with training dogs as well. They tend to trust me. I currently have a cat and she is so precious. So cats are also welcome as well. My schedule is pretty open as of rn I can take care of your pets on anyday of the week. I do DJ on late Saturday nights so that is the only day that I would not be available but besides that I can be there for your loved one! I try to feed my pets at specific times of the day. And I take the dogs out for a walk usually after everytime they eat or after a long nap. For cats we have a patio so if they like going outside they can stay on the patio while I am watching them.
About: My name is Neha, I’m a recent pharmacy graduate who is looking to find some amazing, cute pets to sit! I don’t have any pets, so I am eager to take every opportunity that I can to look after some cute fur babies! I am very kind, responsible, understanding, and will work with you! Although I do not have any pets, my desire is to have my own pet in a few years after I am more settled down! Taking care of your pets would give me the opportunity to experience what having a pet is like and all the responsibilities that come along with it. I love dogs of any shape or size. 🐾 I am currently not working and am just using my time to study for my upcoming pharmacy board exams from home. Pet sitting would give me some excitement to look forward to in my usual day to day routine. I make sure to follow the schedule as laid out by the pets owners. I will also continue to ask questions and provide updates regarding the pets to owners.
About: I am blessed with a sweet boy of my own and have had dogs in the house growing up. I have always had a natural touch with animals. For instance, my neighbor has a Saint Bernard who is not sure of humans in general but especially human males, however this dog becomes a giant puppy when I come around. I am a full time student doing school online so pet care can be done anytime in the mornings and afternoons and on any day except for Sundays. I have a fenced in yard at home, though I keep a watchful eye on my dog when he is outside. While inside, I keep anything that might catch his eye out of reach, and make sure he is always properly entertained. This happens to be easy for my dog since he loves antlers to chew on.

“Nicole & Gary were wonderful!!!! Our pets hadn't been boarded in several years and are now seniors. We wanted them to be boarded together. Nicole went out of her way to alleviate our pets anxiousness. She sent pics several times per day and kept us updated with anything out of the ordinary. I would recommend them highly, especially if you are unsure about leaving your animals. We will definitely book with them in the future if we need to.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years and have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a lifelong dog owner and elementary school teacher, I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to every pet’s unique needs. I have a large fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run and play, as well as a friendly black Lab who loves having canine visitors. He’s playful and social but also respectful of dogs who prefer a quieter, more relaxed environment. Whether your dog needs exercise, cuddles, medication, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently off for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs daycare, overnight boarding, walks, or drop-in visits, I’ll make sure they get lots of playtime, exercise, cuddles, and companionship. I can accommodate most schedules and will do my best to meet your pet’s routine. Safety, Trust & Environment My home is a safe, welcoming place for dogs to relax and have fun. I have a fully fenced yard where they can run and play under supervision, and my friendly black Lab enjoys having visitors but is gentle with dogs who prefer their own space. Whether your pet is energetic or more laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I maintain a clean, secure environment, closely supervise outdoor time, and follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions provided by owners. My goal is to make your dog feel right at home while giving you peace of mind.

“First time booking Grant to look after my 65 lbs Great Dane/Greyhound, Rocket, for a 4 night stay at Grant’s place. Grant did an amazing job looking after Rocket, providing daily photo updates and consistent communication over the entire sitting period. Grant responded to all of my text inquiries promptly and provided me the assurance and peace of mind that my dog was being well looked after and taken care of. Grant is an extremely easy going and down to earth guy, and you can rest assured that he will look after your dog with the utmost care and provide them with a clean and relaxing home while he is looking after them for their stay. I hope to be able to book Grant for all of my future dog sitting needs!”
“Jazmyne went above and beyond to make sure Rory was so well taken care of during our wedding weekend. She even brought her out to our wedding venue so we could see her and take pictures, which meant so much to us! She had wonderful communication the entire time, was always super responsive, and made us feel completely at ease knowing Rory was in such good hands. I would recommend Jazmyne to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We are so thankful for all of her help!”
