“This was the first time we used Rover and Leslie. Everything went very smoothly for our 10-day trip. Leslie was very responsive, and Charlie was well cared for. We would use Rover and Leslie again.”
“Shanna was excellent! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and works with them regularly which is a plus! She is an expert in dealing with dogs of all kinds and different temperaments. she takes them on long walks in the beautiful forest where she lives and has a beautiful home that is viable for dogs. She was very detailed in her daily reports of Remi and I was comforted to know that she was with somebody who knows what they are doing!!”
“Let me start off saying that we usually have family members watch our dog when we travel. We were quite nervous having someone else watch him. Norma put us at ease. She sent us pictures daily and a summary of how he did. Rocky made new friends while staying at Norma’s house. We will be using in the future. Rocky had a great time with her!”
“My Maltese partner is one of the great joys of my life. The fact that I've entrusted her to Kathy multiple times says it all. Kathy obviously cares about animals in her charge. I will rebook and will recommend her to others.”
“Wish I could give more than 5 stars! AMAZING, CARING, LOVING, ATTENTIVE, PROFESSIONAL, The whole family are all these and so much more. Talk about loving your fur babies, they love my babies as much as I do and they feel it.”
About: I have always watched all my families fur babies. They have been well loved just as my own. I’m always watching training videos on dog behavior as to be ready at all times and recognizing when to step in. I’m a stay at home mom so I’m always home majority of my days unless I’m running errands. So they are in my care at all times. I love to send videos and pictures to keep everyone updated. So I’m hoping to love on your fur-babies soon. I’m a stay at home mom. So I’m home almost all of my days unless I’m out running an errand or out with my sister doing an activity with my kids. But most of my days consist of being at home. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I have a really big back yard and open front yard and woods. We are back in the corner of the woods. I also have 2 big dogs that will help guide your dog on how to do things. I also have a crate if need be for a large breed dog if that’s something they are use too. I’m more than welcome to walk your dogs on a leash if you felt more comfortable
“Amy & Ross always take such great care of our senior dog! We love getting photos and updates from them. We will continue to contact them for our future dog sitting needs! Highly recommend!”
“Ira thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Kelly and her pups. She loves all dogs and handles them all well. She even took care of Ira's ‘boo-boo’ over her eye. I would highly recommend Kelly for caring for your sweet fur babies ??”
“If I could provide more than 5 stars I would. Brittany did an outstanding job watching over Maxxwell. She was communicative and a quick responder, no matter the time. Brittany and her family made Maxxwell feel love and at home. She did such an amazing job my family and I are booking her again this weekend while we’re away at the beach. This was our first time ever using Rover, but I think we found our forever sitter already 😊😊😊”
“Wynde was an absolute joy to work with. She welcomed our anxious girl with open arms and made her feel so comfortable. Wynde sent pictures daily and updated us on things Rosie did with them. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Mary and William treated our dogs like their own. They kept us updated with how the pups were doing and just went above and beyond. We would definitely book again in the future. Very happy with our experience!”
“Great experience! She was very flexible and took great care of William. He did very well on his extended visit and she was easy to communicate and work with would totally book this sitter again!”
“Steve and Brittany did such a great job watching Finn! You can tell Finn loved his time there. Finn really enjoyed being able to play in their huge fenced in yard with Anakin. We will definitely rebook in the future.”

“I want to thank Katherine for taking such good care of our beagles! They were comfortable from the start in her huge fenced in yard and her sweet pups! The daily pictures to see what they were up to was greatly appreciated! Katherine did not hesitate to offer to put her extra large dog crate up so I did not have to bring mine! I would definitely recommend and I will keep her in mind for future trips!”
“Dropped our two dogs (5 month old pitbull mutt) and (2 year old pug) off to stay with Sierra during our 4 day vacation!

My 3 dogs and 1 cat are my family and I understand the trust you need for me to take care of your family as well.

I also have heavy duty indestructible crates for those that need the extra help staying in their crate!
“Thank you Leslie for taking great care of Olive while he was little anxious in the beginning. He had a lot of fun which was evident by how exhausted he was when we picked him up. More day camps days to come !”

I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving both energetic and senior dogs the attention they need.

I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable, whether they’re energetic or more laid-back. I also keep a clean environment and make sure pets are always in a safe space during visits or stays.
“Kate was amazing! She was able to get us in last minute and my dog absolutely loved her (she sent pics of the puppy kisses). My dog came home happy (Kate even brought her home!) And tired from all her adventures. I was so nervous to leave my pupper with someone new, but Kate sent lots of pictures and my dog was clearly comfortable with her! Will absolutely use her again!”
“Chelsey is amazing and was an absolute lifesaver! I unexpectedly had to work remotely out of town and needed last minute help with my dog. I messaged her early that morning on a whim, and she responded immediately. She even came to pick my dog up so I could clock in at a decent time, which meant so much. She kept my dog all day, took her on two walks, gave her play time, plenty of potty breaks, and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. When I picked her up, my dog was SO happy and playing with the other dogs which is huge because she’s not always the best with other dogs. It was clear she felt comfortable, happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Chelsey for all your fur babies’ needs and will absolutely be using her services again in the future whenever possible!”
“I would HIGHLY recommend Norma to care for your fur baby. You'll immediately feel at ease with her. She was so easy to work with on arrangements and superb with communication.”
“I booked Nickeyias for doggy daycare and she took amazing care of my Bintley. He felt completely comfortable with her and her family from the start, and she treated him like he was part of her family. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly enjoyed his day. I already scheduled his next visit — highly recommend!”
About: We have experience working with pets since we have a small senior dog of our own. We also have experience working as a dog bather as well as having dog sat previously. one of us currently works part time leaving mornings and nights available for any walks and feeding need. The other works occasionally and is there when needed. weekends we a both available. We live on a dead end so not many cars pass by. We also have 1 senior dog who is small and tranquil. There is lots of room in the house for dogs to have plenty of space if they would like.
About: My lifetime dedication to animal behavior began at a young age, training everything from my childhood cats and birds to neighborhood dogs. By the time I was 12, I was already handling pet-sitting duties for family friends, which sparked an obsession with AKC dog shows and canine development. As a teenager, I successfully fostered three high-need rescue dogs, rehabilitating them and placing them into forever homes. When I finally received my first dog, Omega—a brilliant Standard Poodle who lived to be 14—I trained him from scratch in everything from advanced stays to agility pole jumping. To back this natural passion with formal education, I completed three years at Virginia Tech, majoring in Animal & Poultry Science (Companion Animal Track). Through my intensive collegiate lab work, I gained hands-on experience with multiple species and mastered advanced animal husbandry, livestock handling, anatomy, and medical administration protocols (including multiple injection methods). This rigorous science background transitions directly into my capability as a handler. My daily life revolves around the development of working lines and guardian breeds. I specialize in basic and advanced obedience, loose-leash positioning, and structured boundaries. I am actively developing my very first personal sport prospect, hand-feeding for precision obedience. I recently whelped and successfully raised a healthy, large working cross litter of 10 puppies, and I am now offering my training services through my rover profile. What to Expect During Their Stay: Whether your dog is a high-energy athlete needing structured mental outlets, a powerful guardian breed requiring a confident leader, or a companion needing precise medical administration, they will receive elite, customized care. Because I work from home full-time, your dog will be integrated into a clean, highly supervised routine that respects their existing household rules. I offer premium House Sitting, Drop-In Visits, and structured Day Care. Space is intentionally kept small to ensure safety, calm boundaries, and individualized attention. Leaving your companion is never easy—trust me, I practice the same care I expect for my own animals. With me, you can have total peace of mind that your dog is in the hands of a dedicated, professional handler. Contact me today to secure your route or schedule a meet-and-greet! I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide consistent, round-the-clock supervision for your companion. My remote work schedule operates on a split-shift structure: Mon, Tue, & alternating Fri/Sat: 11:00 AM – 2:00 AM & 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM Wed & Thu: 11:00 AM – 2:00 AM & 4:00 PM – 7:30 PM Sundays: Completely off and dedicated 100% to canine care. Because I work directly from my home office, your dog will enjoy a highly supervised, safe environment with a dedicated handler present at all times. My shift gaps are dedicated entirely to outdoor potty breaks, enrichment, and hands-on interaction. My ultimate professional milestone is transitioning to full-time canine management under my OZN Olympian K9 brand, meaning your pet receives the highest level of focused, attentive care I operate on a spacious one-acre property featuring a massive yard bordered by clean stone landmarks. Safety is my absolute priority, which is why all yard time is strictly supervised by me personally. Dogs with verified, bulletproof off-leash recall are permitted to utilize the full property line. For companions still developing their foundations, I utilize a professional 30-foot training long-line, allowing them total freedom to run and explore safely without any risk of escape. Inside my home, I offer a highly versatile, stress-free environment tailored to your dog's specific social needs. I can accommodate social dogs who thrive around other animals, as well as dogs requiring complete separation. If your companion prefers individual space, my personal dogs can be securely rotated to my upper level, and my current puppy prospects are trained to settle quietly in their crates. This leaves my entire downstairs area or my private home office completely open for your dog to relax in. I have multiple heavy-duty, large crates on hand to assist dogs who need a secure, cozy boundary to settle in a new environment. When providing care inside your home for house-sitting or drop-in visits, I maintain that exact same elite standard of structure and safety. I treat your property with the utmost respect, keeping your home clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. While under my care on your property, your dog will follow a precise, customized routine—maintaining their existing house rules, feeding schedules, and crate habits—so they feel completely secure in their own familiar environment. Every dog under my roof receives a deeply enriching routine where I reinforce good canine manners daily, backed by regular text, photo, and video updates!
About: I've grown up with animals all my life. Im comfortable with anything, from cats to all sizes of dogs. My family currently owns six dogs and six cats, ranging from elderly to special needs, so I'm definitely up-to-date on my skills! I've worked as a veterinary technician assistant for a emergency veterinary clinic so I'm comfortable with administering medications including under the skin injections and pills. Depending on the temperament of dog (or cat!) I'm more than willing to provide a pedicure during my stay! I also aim to provide check-in's and walks in addition to overnight care. I'm disabled and unable to work a normal 9-5, but your pet will recieve top quality care and plenty of attention. That being said, my schedule is very flexible. For most if not all jobs I'm available seven days a week with Thursdays and Sundays being my most tricky. Mid-mornings to early afternoons normally work better for me for check-ins and walks. I'm disabled and unable to work a normal 9-5 job, but I can guarantee top quality care. Whether it's hanging out at home or getting a pup cup, I'll be sure to update you regularly. Any rules or boundaries will be respected during long stays and I will pick up after both myself and your pet.
About: I am retired, have trained and shown dogs for over fifty years, live in a condo with one sheltie and one cat. I like to sit ONE dog at a time so it can have special one on one attention. Special arrangements can be made with two dogs that are from the same family. My floors are tile and I sterilize them between visits. I do NOT have a fenced yard but we have a 20 x 80 fenced dog run right outside my back door and we walk every two to three hours and once during the night. Since I am retired, I can be with your dog 24/7 with small exceptions. The dogs are allowed on the furniture and in the bed. I do insist that dogs be house trained and crate trained since we feed in crates or crate them if I have to be away. If you want personal care and attention for your dog, we would love to supply that service. We do NOT do meet and greets. We find that those brief encounters simply put stress on my dogs and yours. I take about an hour when a dog has arrived to acclimate him safely and comfortably. I only care for small dogs, under 30 pounds, and no puppies. Since I am retired, my schedule is pretty much staying around the house. There are no children and things are pretty quiet most of the time.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life! I would love to take care of your baby’s for you and treat them like my own! I have taken care of dogs & cats at every age and other animals. I don’t have a full-time job right now, so I have time to take care of animals when people need my help when they can’t. I’ve treated every animal as if they were my child. I would do the same whether yours is at my house or I stop in and check on them at yours. I always say I would hate someone forever if they ever let my cat out the door..so you can trust me with your animal!

About: I have been a cat and dog lover and pet parent throughout my adult life. When I lived in Washington, I worked full time at a dog daycare and overnight boarding ranch in Snohomish. I also have a lot of experience petsitting and housesitting for family and friends. A few years ago, I job-shadowed a full time in-home pet sitter. All in all, I really enjoy spending time with critters and I look forward to meeting you and your critters! I am comfortable handling/administering medications to pets. I love to walk and hike with my dog. I would love to take your dog along to explore the trails if you think that's something your dog would enjoy. I have a fully fenced, partially shaded back yard. I currently have a small dog and 5 cats that your dog would need to be compatible with.
About: I have 2 cats I've cared for since they were kittens and they are both extremely happy and healthy. I've helped petsit cats with behavioral issues, helped train my roommates dogs, and our old family dog as well. I've also helped neighbors with their pets since I was very young. I'm currently working part time, so I'm available outside of days I work. When I'm at home, I'm usually doing chores around the house or doing some crafts. Of course if my animals want attention, they get it, and so would yours. If I'm coming into your home to take care of your baby, I will treat the animal and environment respectfully. If your pet is shy, I'd take it slow with them until they were comfortable with me.

I am also very active so walking or running is no problem.
About: Taken care of all ages. All kinds of animals! I love spending time with animals! Will cater to whatever they need! Very flexible with scheduling. I currently work as an ER nurse, three days a week, I am free the other four and love spending it pet sitting. Very flexible schedule I currently live in an rv while I'm traveling nursing and have a dog and two cats of my own so I don't offer boarding at this time, but will care for pets in any other way possible
About: I've grown up with animals all my life. Im comfortable with anything, from cats to all sizes of dogs. My family currently owns six dogs and six cats, ranging from elderly to special needs, so I'm definitely up-to-date on my skills! I've worked as a veterinary technician assistant for a emergency veterinary clinic so I'm comfortable with administering medications including under the skin injections and pills. Depending on the temperament of dog (or cat!) I'm more than willing to provide a pedicure during my stay! I also aim to provide check-in's and walks in addition to overnight care. I'm disabled and unable to work a normal 9-5, but your pet will recieve top quality care and plenty of attention. That being said, my schedule is very flexible. For most if not all jobs I'm available seven days a week with Thursdays and Sundays being my most tricky. Mid-mornings to early afternoons normally work better for me for check-ins and walks. I'm disabled and unable to work a normal 9-5 job, but I can guarantee top quality care. Whether it's hanging out at home or getting a pup cup, I'll be sure to update you regularly. Any rules or boundaries will be respected during long stays and I will pick up after both myself and your pet.
About: I love all animals and have always had a passion to work with animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, birds, you name it! I treat everyone's fur babies how I'd expect people to treat my mine. I use to do anesthesia-free dog teeth cleaning, so I am very comfortable with all sizes and types of dogs. I'm a good pick for your pets because I have a passion for animals and go up and beyond what's expected. I will always send you pictures of your sweet little babies while you are away on your trip. Let me take good care of your babies and give them someone who cares, wants to play and keep their mind of their owners while they are gone. Thanks for considering me :-) I am home most of the day every day so your fur baby will never be alone for too long at a time. I'm pretty flexible with times for drop ins as well. I have fenced yard that my dog loves to play in (more so, when he gets to have a buddy over) haha. Inside, dogs have full range inside the house and I let them on furniture. (If you are strict with your dog with getting on furniture, I will make sure he has the same set of rules at my place).
About: I have been working with and caring for dogs my whole life. Large working breeds to small breeds. I understand dog psychology. I love to work with them and I am in the process of beginning my own company for behavioral modification and training. Give me a call! I am currently working part time as I build my clientele and will have time in my schedule for weekday appointments, I can also take appointments on Saturdays. I have a skill set for handling dogs with great care and positive reinforcement. I currently have 2 of my own 1 Belgian shepherd mix and 1 maltishu mix. I will eventually take in over night boards once I have my building on my property fitted out for it appropriately.
About: I started Midday Route after noticing how many pets spend long days alone while their owners work, travel, manage home projects, work from home, or simply try to keep up with busy life. I also understand how stressful it can feel to trust someone with both your pets and your home, especially for owners who prefer keeping their pets comfortable in a familiar environment instead of boarding. My approach is centered around keeping pets calm, comfortable, and connected to the routines they already know. Some pets want play and companionship, while others simply want consistency, patience, and a calm presence that respects their personality and comfort level. I pay close attention to the little things pet owners notice immediately, including routines, feeding, litter box care, potty breaks, comfort changes, behavior, and communication while you’re away. My goal is simple: help pets feel safe and help owners feel less stressed while life gets busy. Midday Route is also insured for additional peace of mind while caring for your pets and home. Midday Route is designed around helping busy pet owners with dependable care throughout the week, including weekends when scheduled in advance. I currently focus on midday visits, companionship visits, potty breaks, and travel care that help dogs stay comfortable in their normal routine while their owners work, travel, or manage busy schedules. Clear communication, consistency, and reliability are very important to me, especially when schedules shift or travel plans change. Once visits are scheduled, I make every effort to provide dependable timing, thoughtful care, and regular updates so owners feel comfortable and informed while they’re away. I care for pets in a calm, attentive, and respectful way that prioritizes their comfort, safety, and normal routine while owners are away. During visits, I pay close attention to behavior changes, energy levels, hydration, feeding, potty breaks, and overall comfort. After walks or outdoor time, I make sure pets settle back in comfortably, have access to fresh water, and are checked over if we’ve been through wooded areas, trails, or messy weather. If requested by pet parents, I can also help with simple grooming-related care such as brushing or pet-safe freshening sprays after visits. During travel care visits, I make sure pets have food, water, exercise, attention, and the overall care they need to stay comfortable in their familiar environment while their owners are away. I also always carry extra treats and poop bags so owners do not have to worry about small essentials during walks or visits. I believe communication is extremely important, especially when caring for pets in someone else’s home. I provide updates after every visit so owners know how their pet is doing, and if anything ever seems unusual or raises concern, I communicate promptly. If a pet has specific needs, routines, or preferences, I always prefer to discuss them directly with the owner beforehand so expectations, comfort, and care are clear for everyone involved.

“This was the first time we used Rover and Leslie. Everything went very smoothly for our 10-day trip. Leslie was very responsive, and Charlie was well cared for. We would use Rover and Leslie again.”
“Shanna was excellent! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and works with them regularly which is a plus! She is an expert in dealing with dogs of all kinds and different temperaments. she takes them on long walks in the beautiful forest where she lives and has a beautiful home that is viable for dogs. She was very detailed in her daily reports of Remi and I was comforted to know that she was with somebody who knows what they are doing!!”
“Let me start off saying that we usually have family members watch our dog when we travel. We were quite nervous having someone else watch him. Norma put us at ease. She sent us pictures daily and a summary of how he did. Rocky made new friends while staying at Norma’s house. We will be using in the future. Rocky had a great time with her!”
“Wish I could give more than 5 stars! AMAZING, CARING, LOVING, ATTENTIVE, PROFESSIONAL, The whole family are all these and so much more. Talk about loving your fur babies, they love my babies as much as I do and they feel it.”
About: I have always watched all my families fur babies. They have been well loved just as my own. I’m always watching training videos on dog behavior as to be ready at all times and recognizing when to step in. I’m a stay at home mom so I’m always home majority of my days unless I’m running errands. So they are in my care at all times. I love to send videos and pictures to keep everyone updated. So I’m hoping to love on your fur-babies soon. I’m a stay at home mom. So I’m home almost all of my days unless I’m out running an errand or out with my sister doing an activity with my kids. But most of my days consist of being at home. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I have a really big back yard and open front yard and woods. We are back in the corner of the woods. I also have 2 big dogs that will help guide your dog on how to do things. I also have a crate if need be for a large breed dog if that’s something they are use too. I’m more than welcome to walk your dogs on a leash if you felt more comfortable

“I want to thank Katherine for taking such good care of our beagles! They were comfortable from the start in her huge fenced in yard and her sweet pups! The daily pictures to see what they were up to was greatly appreciated! Katherine did not hesitate to offer to put her extra large dog crate up so I did not have to bring mine! I would definitely recommend and I will keep her in mind for future trips!”
