Highly-rated overnight sitters - Peoria
“Carola is such a wonderful pet sitter!! She takes such good care of my Susie; she sends me daily photos & updates & I never have to worry about Susie’s well being. Carola is a blessing to our family 😊”
“She was a wonderful sitter! She gave me daily updates with pictures so I wasn't worrying during my time away and went out of her way to pick up/drop off my beastie baby when I struggled to navigate her road. Most importantly, she called my dog sweet which is one of the best things a dog mom can hear about their child. :)”
“Amanda did a wonderful job! Very friendly. Took great care of our two dogs. And provided an update every day we were gone, sometimes including photos. Will definitely use her again.”
About: Along with cats and dogs, I have cared for many exotics such as reptiles, rabbits, and guinea pigs. Your pets are family and I will care for them as if they are mine. I am currently a part-time sitter as I’m also a senior in college and work as a vet tech for an emergency clinic. Due to this, my schedule is constantly changing so my calander on rover isn’t always accurate, but I try to be as flexible as I can :) Owners are guaranteed to receive multiple pictures of the their pet(s) while in my care. I will follow the instructions given and always ask the owner first before an action if unsure.
“Our family appreciates Jimena opening her home and caring for our fur baby Keanu. Thank you Jimena for the pictures and video you sent. Whenever we are back in town we will be reaching out to Jimena for her exceptional dog sitting services. 💕😊”
“Heather was a great host and took very good care of our dog Tito. We had a change of plans and she was extremely accommodating for picking Tito up early. Would definitely have Tito stay with her again. Thanks again Heather!”
“Jennifer and her pup, Maddie, were great sitters. Apparently Bullitt and Maddie are best buds now. I think Bullit was torn between wanting to play with Maddie and coming home with me when I picked him up! Jennifer is promptly communicative, caring, courteous, flexible and a sweet dog mom. We will use her again!”
“Do you want your pets to feel so at home and comfortable that they are upset when they leave? Mark's house is the place to be! Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mark helped us on short notice and was able to provide us peace and reassurance that our babies were cared for! Mark kept our male and female German Shepherds, and they had an absolute blast. Mark sent us multiple photos and videos and kept us very up-to-date on what they were doing throughout their visit. He asked questions about their personalities and needs that showcased his care and attention to detail. With his knowledge and experience with German Shepherds, it really shined in the care he provided them! I would definitely recommend Mark, and especially recommend Mark to people with German Shepherds or working line dogs! We and our babies would love to use Mark again!”
“Very polite and punctual when picking up my fur baby. She communicated very well and sent pictures showing how much fun my baby was having!!! Will definitely be reaching out again when we need another sitter!!”
“Ken and Leslie are outstanding sitters. I feel money leaving my precious Gully with them. A home away from home. They are always doing activities with the dogs and Gilly loves to stay there with his buds. I highly highly recommend them. I drive an hour there and back so what does that tell you?”
“Cassandra was AMAZING with Boo! She sent me updates and pictures everyday— I could tell my doggy was very happy and safe! Can’t say enough good things about Cassandra. Will definitely be requesting her dog sitting services again… highly recommend! 🫶🫶🫶”
“Alyson took great care of my goldendoodle, Rocket for 8 days while I was out of town. I received daily pictures and felt very reassured he was well taken care of. Rocket looked relaxed and calm and seemed to have a great stay. Alyson’s communication was direct and punctual and it was a great stress free experience.”
About: I have been caring for pets for almost 60 years and treat every pet as my own. Whether it is daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I foucs on making each pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I understand routines matter, so I pay close attention to your pet's needs and keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and messages. My goal is always for you to feel confident and for your pet to feel right at home. Retired, reliable, and available full-time to help with your pet-sitting needs. Happy to love on those furry friends whenever it benefits their owners. I have housed dogs and cats all my life. My home is safe and animal-friendly. I have a large yard to play in, although it is unfenced. Happy to walk the puppies as often as they would like, good for both of us!
“Samuel and Erica were great! I got lots of pictures and feedback. Samuel and Erica have Lana well trained as others have stated, and it’s evident. Moose settled in with them pretty quickly. Moose is small and didn’t want to play. They both learned to peacefully co-exist just as Samuel and Erica have experienced with other small pups. I highly recommend them!”
“Melanie loves dogs and is smart about what they need for care and play. My dog has separation anxiety and she went above and beyond in order to make him feel safe and comfortable.”
“Melissa was wonderful to work with and did a great job with our pups. She stayed in contact with me the whole time so I didn’t have any worries on leaving them. I would definitely recommend her.”

“By far the best pit sitter ever! She helped me out last minute with my cat and was able to relax knowing she was in such good hands. I loved getting lots of pictures and videos of what she was up to and all of the love and attention she was getting. Could not recommend Angel enough to take care of your pets!!”
About: I’m waiting for the day I can own my own cat but until then I am all yours (and your cats). I strive to always personalize the care I give and will work with you to make sure I am able to give your cat everything they want and need. I have cared for many different breeds and personalities and my favorite thing is to find out what I can do for them to trust me. Having that breakthrough is essential.
About: Hi, I’m Chelsea! I’m 21 years old & live in Butler, TN with my husband. I love animals & have plenty of experience caring for pups! I have experience in dog bathing, walking, sitting & feeding. I treat dogs I’m watching like they’re my own. While your pup is with me, I will also work on any training you’re currently doing & help reinforce positive behaviors! I would love to watch your pup! I do have three cats in my home, but can easily separate them into a separate room in my house if need be. I do have an unfenced yard, but will always take your pup out on leash to ensure their safety. I can also take them on any of the hiking trails in the area if you’d like! I’m an aquarium/aviary service technician & am only gone 2-3 days a week & am normally home on weekends. I’m home fairly often, but when I do need to leave for work I’m only gone for 6 hours at a time. While your dog stays with me, I will send as many (or little) pictures & videos you’d like! While my yard isn’t fenced, your pup will always be on leash with me to ensure their safety. If we go hiking, I have a doggy first aid kit in my car at all times in case of any accidents. While I’m in your home, I’ll respect where you want me to go & where you don’t. I’ll make sure to clean up after myself, & hopefully leave your home looking cleaner than when you left!
About: Until 6 years ago I've ALWAYS had a kitty of my own since I was 13. Usually just one sometimes 2 or 3 and the one time 2 adults and 5 babies. My absolute favorite is male tabbys especially the big body ones lol. Just something about those chunky orange kitties I can't resist.
About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was 8 years old, and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I have experience caring for both my own pets and the pets of friends and neighbors, including dogs ranging from 5 to 65 pounds. I’m comfortable working with senior pets, anxious pets, and different personalities, always making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care, walks, playtime, companionship, and comfort for pets. I currently provide care only in clients’ homes, following each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and special instructions to keep them comfortable, safe, stress-free daily
About: I grew up with all different sizes and different breeds of dogs. I also dog sit for family members when asked and love to walk, feed, and bathe the animals. I’m a veterinary technician so taking care of animals is part of my everyday routine. My passion is taking care of all the little fur babies and making sure they are loved. I currently have two chihuahua mix’s and a leopard gecko so we have a daily routine of getting up to go potty, eating breakfast, playing and making sure the babies are set for the day while moms away at work.
“Sam is always on time, professional, and communicates very well. I appreciate the photos and updates during the visit. It brings me much joy and comfort knowing Sam is taking care of my kitties! Thank you again for your help!!”
About: I've been taking care of my kitty girl, Ruby, for over 13 years, feeding, cleaning, brushing and bathing her. Shes temperamental so trust me, I can handle any cat. I've helped watch neighbors cats while their gone, and have even worked at Safe Haven; a volunteer cat shelter off of Durant Rd.
“Gracie did an outstanding job watching my pets while I was away. She does a great job communicating both before I left when I was making sure she knew what I needed as well as sending me updates and some photos while I was away. I will definitely hire her again.”
About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals since I was 10 years old! Horses, chickens, cows, donkeys, fish, hamsters, goats, sheep, rats, kittens, dogs, etc! I am happy to help with any pet needs! I have recently graduated from college and am working part time working towards full time! Pet sitting and care fit well into my routine as I typically work 4 hour shifts at a time leaving great time to check in with pets! My weeks are flexible just reach out if you have any questions! I try to have what is best for my animals including fenced in yards and proper food, cages, and medicines. Although I do not offer boarding, I will make absolutely certain your animals stay safe in my care!
About: I currently do not have any pets, but have had multiple throughout the years. I am excited to gain more experience and to take care of pups or cats. I currently work as a remote event planning intern, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with pups! I have free time throughout the day and evenings, while being home for work! I can do whatever you feel comfortable with when caring for your pet. I have a fenced yard and can take them on walks or can crate, if needed.
“We hired Elizabeth to petsit our cat who was injured and needed medication. She was able to help last minute and stay in our home with our fur baby to continue his treatment. She gave him all his meds on time and treated our home with respect. To add a constructive note I would suggest that the communication while sitting could improve. Overall Elizabeth is a good sitter and would recommend!”
About: I love taking care or dogs and cats of every kind. Ever since I was 12 I’ve taken care/loved on my neighbors pets while they were out of town or even my own. I really enjoy getting to meet new animals and care for them as my own. I’m currently working for myself remotely. I set my own schedule, this allows me to be available for most times throughout the week to love on your pet. I love to take my dogs for walks/runs. So, if that’s what your dogs prefer (or cats, can’t exclude them!) I’m happy to take them on daily walks/runs. As far as nighttime routine, I prefer doing what’s best for your pet. Every pet is different so I can crate, leave in designated space or allow the pets to free roam at night based on the preference/instruction of you the pet owners / pet parents
About: Growing up on a farm with an assortment of animals I learned how to multitask. I love hanging out with chill animals on the couch and playing around with the most rambunctious of ones! I am currently part-time so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I am a college student so starting mid august I will have classes Tuesday and Thursday. On those days I will only be able to be with your pets early in the morning and early evening as during the day are all of my courses. When walking your pet, my favorite place to go is our local greenway. I find the park to be wide and long, perfect for going potty and getting those zoomies out!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Peoria
“Jimena and her daughter are delightful dog sitters! This is an incredibly clean place. Beautiful outdoor space shade and then a great indoor kennel that’s quite large. Clean beds everywhere everything neat and clean. I was comfortable, leaving our princess pup there. Only 7 pounds are a little Papillion velt comfortable especially in a care of the owner. Lots of photos and check-in. Highly recommend.”
“We’re expecting our first child so it was so important to find the right sitter to watch our fur baby! He had a great time I loved receiving the pictures. I can’t thank Jill and her family enough!!!”
“Carols was the perfect sitter for my little dog. He tends to be anxious, especially around other dogs. Carols helped him feel comfortable & he got a chance to socialize with her dog which was very good for him. I hope to leave him with her again.”
About: Hello! My name is Kelley and I have lots of furry children. I have three Siberian Huskies and a Shiba Inu and they make life fun and adventurous! I have experience working with cats and dogs of all sizes and behaviors. I also have experience caring for rabbits as I had my own. Growing up I volunteered at the VCA Adoption center where we took care of the animals looking for homes and spent a few years of my adult life volunteering and running a rescue. I absolutely love animals and treat all exactly as I would want someone to treat my own. 😁 I am available most evenings after 4PM or anytime on Thursdays. I try to be as flexible as I can for last minute bookings to assist in any way I can. My entire front yard is fenced in with 6ft chain link fencing. It has a mini agility course as a fun activity for the dogs. I also have extra crates and can crate if/when needed. If I am coming to your home I will treat it and your pets with love and respect.
“Samuel and Erica were amazing! So nice and accommodating on our last minute request. Our dog had a blast at their house and came home happy and tired from all the playtime with their dog! Who could ask for more. Highly recommend”
“Hailey was quick to respond to communication and flexible with minor timing changes. Finn seemed perfectly happy when I picked him up. A good experience for my first time using Rover.”
“Melissa was great. We were traveling with our dog and wanted to bike the Virginia Creeper Trail. Melissa's house was about 20 min from the bike rental shop in Damascus, and it worked out perfectly to drop off our dog for a few hours while we biked. She has a big fenced in the back yard.”
“Melanie is awesome!! First time leaving my fur baby with a sitter outside my home, and I knew she’d be in good hands the minute Melanie greeted us! My Macie Harper was recovering from her spay, and I did not feel comfortable to leave her home alone in her crate for any extended period of time due to a prior complication as well as maintaining a medication schedule. Melanie was professional, incredibly sweet, and excellent with communication! Her house is perfectly equipped for pet safety & comfort. Will absolutely use Melanie’s services again!! Can’t thank her enough!! My baby girl greeted us with a smile and tail wagging and gave Melanie a million kisses!!”
“Amber did a great job taking care of our 10 lb poodle! She has a very friendly dog of her own and took special care introducing them to one another! Her home is clean, neat and cozy! We did doggy day care she walked Lucky 2 times in four hours! When we found out we’d be late on the pick up, she responded immediately and said no problem! We’ll definitely use her again should our need arise! Thank you Amber!”
“I would highly recommend Alyson. She sends pictures and responds immediately if you ask for an update on your pet. My dog went for doggie daycare and was very eager to go and play with her dogs! I would definitely use her services again.”
“Ken was just fabulous. Arranging the stay couldn't have been easier, and he made me so comfortable leaving Rosie with him. He's obviously an animal lover, and Rosie opened up to him immediately. Throughout the morning, he sent photos and updates - including of a lovely hike along a bucolic nearby stream. Come afternoon, I picked up a tired and happy dog. Rosie will miss him.”
“Our experience was outstanding! Amanda was very kind and accommodating to us and took great care of our sheepadoodle while we went to a tennis tournament in Hickory. She sent us pictures and videos of our dog throughout the day to show how much fun she was having. They have a fantastic shaded fenced in yard where our dog was able to run around and play. We cannot be happier with our experience and will absolutely take her back the next time we have to be away.”

“Angel did a great job with walking our energetic Parsons Russell Terrier in the middle of the day, while we were stuck on conference calls. Very easy to communicate with in setting up the walks and sent several pictures and details about the walks. We plan on engaging her again.”
About: I have grown up with all sizes and ages of dogs from an elderly black Lab to a baby Maltese Shitzu. I love all types of animals and have pet-sat for many people, including coworkers, neighbors, and roommates. I am a recent graduate of Appalachian State University living in Boone for the summer. Then moving to Greenville, NC in the Fall to attend East Carolina University for graduate school. I am available anytime! To care best for your animal, I will respect the space and privacy of your home. Please provide specifications so I can ensure all guidelines will be followed.
About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was young. I would get paid to walk dogs and to check on cats and fish. I love hanging out with all animals! Being in college, it makes it hard to have one of my own, but this will allow me to opportunity to be around all the animals that I love! I just graduated from Wake Forest University, where I played volleyball. Volleyball taught me a lot about discipline and also shows that I am a very reliable person when it comes to scheduling and time management. I am a current graduate student in the SLP (speech-language pathology) program at App State and am available most evenings and all weekends! At school there is plenty of grass for the dogs to run around and I am able to bring the crate and everything into my apartment if needed. Cats, I am also available to do whatever is helpful and needed! I have my own space with no other animals!
About: I grew up with two dogs in my house, a pug and an English lab. I have extensive experience caring for animals and have cared for many pets for neighbors, friends, and family since I was in my teenage years. I am able to walk high energy dogs and have the flexibility with my schedule to spend 30 minutes to one-hour visits if needed. I just started a new job in Boone which means I have more flexibility in the spring/summer, less in the fall/winter. I can commit to short but frequent visits and/or longer drop ins that can include a walk and some play time. I am able to drive to your house and safely care for your animals. I grew up with animals and around animals making me comfortable with all breeds and temperaments. I am extremely detail oriented and have wide experience house sitting and dog/cat sitting. I enjoy getting animals outside for walks or taking them to a dog park for fresh air and new smells.
About: I have a dog and 2 cats at home and have taken care of many animals throughout my life. I am also a student athlete and love taking dogs for walks or even runs if they are capable! I feed my pets and take care of them every day so it is pretty much engraved into my routine. I also walk and play with my dog everyday which brings me a lot of joy! I care for my pets on a daily basis feeding them, and caring for them throughout the day. When watching my clients pets I treat them as if they are my own, taking care of them in the best way possible!
About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was 8 years old, and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I have experience caring for both my own pets and the pets of friends and neighbors, including dogs ranging from 5 to 65 pounds. I’m comfortable working with senior pets, anxious pets, and different personalities, always making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care, walks, playtime, companionship, and comfort for pets. I currently provide care only in clients’ homes, following each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and special instructions to keep them comfortable, safe, stress-free daily
About: I have been pet sitting for roughly 10 years. It started when I was young just caring for my friends dogs and cats when they went out of town but has evolved into a small client base that I want to expand. I have cared for mostly senor dogs, providing them with medication as it was prescribed, ensuring they were safe when outside, and updating owners on any changes in behavior and physical condition. Recently I have gotten my own dog who is now three years old and that is the most experience I had with puppies but I do know quite a bit about training and am willing to care for young dogs as well. Because she is my own dog, she must be able to come with me to overnight stays, she is very friendly with dogs, cats, and even horses!. I love dogs with all my heart and grew up with them in the house. I don't have any cats in my family but I do know how important they are to their family and I love to take care of the cats I have taken care of in the past. I truly believe our pets are part of the family and deserve care and comfort when their humans are away. I am a full time student currently so I don't have the most time in the world but I am more than happy to take a break from school work to play and walk with pets and then maybe hang out together while I study before their dinnertime! I like to get a rough idea of the pets typical schedule and stick as close to that as possible, making sure everyone is fed on time, walked when walks are needed, and generally keeping them on the same schedule they are used to! I have found this to be the best option as it gives the pets a sense of normalcy in their routine while the family is away.
About: Animals just relax around me. I’ve worked with many pet owners who are apprehensive to leave their pets with anyone due to the pet’s nervous temperaments, and other various quirks, and every single time the animals have surprised their owners by completely settling in with me. I prioritize play, love, and connecting with each individual pet I watch however they specifically need. I’ve looked after animals of all breeds, ages, & temperaments- from anxious & fussy older pets to energetic young puppies. I have experience administering medications to sick animals, hand feeding injured puppies, walking several pets at once, and managing dogs & cats that are a bit wild. I’ve even cared for lizards, turtles, fish, plants (haha), hamsters, birds, & rabbits. Whatever their needs, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, & at home while they’re with me. I am a potter who works from my home studio, and I make my own schedule- so I can generally be flexible and accommodate your pets needs. I love having pets in my home, and breaking away from my studio to get some fresh air and puppy/kitty love too! If I’m working on a big project, it’s nice to have to flexibility to come and go from my studio when possible, or have your pet there with me- but I have worked out all kinds of house sit/drop in/boarding arrangements according to the needs of clients and their pets. Let’s talk! I live in a peaceful home with a large fenced in backyard, and nice quiet streets to walk with your pet as needed. I will follow whatever routines you generally stick to and prefer when working with your animals. Give me all the details of your needs and preferences, boundaries and particulars- no matter what type of sit- so I can be sure you and your pet(s) feel a sense of trust, ease, and predictability.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats from a very young age. My family has always had pets which taught me how to properly care for them. I now have two bunnies myself that are my whole world. I have also had past experience with pet sitting. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, and bunnies and I’m willing to learn how to care for any other pets you might have. I truly love all animals and I will love your pets just like I love my own! I am not currently working so I will have all the time in the world to spend with your furry friends! I can be there whenever you need and I am more than happy to accommodate any schedule. In your home, I will care for your pet just as you do everyday! Depending on the service you request, I can simply come by and spend some time with them a few times a day or I can be with them around the clock in your home. Your pets will be my top priority and I will do everything I can to ensure their safety, health, and happiness while you are away!
About: Hello! I am Katrina. I am a recent graduate of Appalachian State University with a degree in Recreation Management and a double minor in Non Profit Organizations and Animal Sciences. I am located in Clover, SC. I absolutely adore animals; that love started from our family dog, my yorkshire terrier, Buddy.

Reading body language is something I think is super important and practice often when handling animals. Constant check ins while I am with your pet is also essential in my care.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was a toddler. I have fostered, pet sat for friends and family many times and recently lost my own dog of 13 years. I recently retired and miss having a pup in my life. I’m available and flexible for daily walks as well as able to provide boarding in my home. I am very attentive and loving toward all fur babies.

About: Hey there! I’m Christine! I am a lifelong animal lover with over 4 years of experience in dog walking and sitting. Growing up, I was always surrounded by furry friends, and that passion has only grown since then. I believe every walk is an adventure, and I love to play and have fun with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Your pup will get plenty of exercise, love, and attention while they’re with me. I will also treat your dog with the same love I give to my own family. My schedule is pretty relaxed especially now being summer so I will have much time to care for your pet's needs practically all day if necessary! I have been taking care of my own dogs for years and will be able to ensure that they are safely kept inside/outside during the day and in their proper sleeping quarters for night.

Id love to be walking any dogs during the work day so they are nice and rested when you get home! My pets are beyond spoiled. But I wouldn't have it any other way! I love all dogs and will treat yours like my own! I like to maintain routines for pets and make sure they have a good balance of stimulation and rest.

Since I am retired, and my wife works part time, I spend most of my time with our dogs. We will not bring client’s pets to our home nor will my wife be a caretaker.

But take a very personal look at it as if it was my pet someone was watching. Doing everything possible.

“She was a wonderful sitter! She gave me daily updates with pictures so I wasn't worrying during my time away and went out of her way to pick up/drop off my beastie baby when I struggled to navigate her road. Most importantly, she called my dog sweet which is one of the best things a dog mom can hear about their child. :)”
“Amanda did a wonderful job! Very friendly. Took great care of our two dogs. And provided an update every day we were gone, sometimes including photos. Will definitely use her again.”
“Our family appreciates Jimena opening her home and caring for our fur baby Keanu. Thank you Jimena for the pictures and video you sent. Whenever we are back in town we will be reaching out to Jimena for her exceptional dog sitting services. 💕😊”
“Heather was a great host and took very good care of our dog Tito. We had a change of plans and she was extremely accommodating for picking Tito up early. Would definitely have Tito stay with her again. Thanks again Heather!”
“Do you want your pets to feel so at home and comfortable that they are upset when they leave? Mark's house is the place to be! Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mark helped us on short notice and was able to provide us peace and reassurance that our babies were cared for! Mark kept our male and female German Shepherds, and they had an absolute blast. Mark sent us multiple photos and videos and kept us very up-to-date on what they were doing throughout their visit. He asked questions about their personalities and needs that showcased his care and attention to detail. With his knowledge and experience with German Shepherds, it really shined in the care he provided them! I would definitely recommend Mark, and especially recommend Mark to people with German Shepherds or working line dogs! We and our babies would love to use Mark again!”
“Very polite and punctual when picking up my fur baby. She communicated very well and sent pictures showing how much fun my baby was having!!! Will definitely be reaching out again when we need another sitter!!”
“Ken and Leslie are outstanding sitters. I feel money leaving my precious Gully with them. A home away from home. They are always doing activities with the dogs and Gilly loves to stay there with his buds. I highly highly recommend them. I drive an hour there and back so what does that tell you?”
“Cassandra was AMAZING with Boo! She sent me updates and pictures everyday— I could tell my doggy was very happy and safe! Can’t say enough good things about Cassandra. Will definitely be requesting her dog sitting services again… highly recommend! 🫶🫶🫶”
“Alyson took great care of my goldendoodle, Rocket for 8 days while I was out of town. I received daily pictures and felt very reassured he was well taken care of. Rocket looked relaxed and calm and seemed to have a great stay. Alyson’s communication was direct and punctual and it was a great stress free experience.”
About: I have been caring for pets for almost 60 years and treat every pet as my own. Whether it is daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I foucs on making each pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I understand routines matter, so I pay close attention to your pet's needs and keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and messages. My goal is always for you to feel confident and for your pet to feel right at home. Retired, reliable, and available full-time to help with your pet-sitting needs. Happy to love on those furry friends whenever it benefits their owners. I have housed dogs and cats all my life. My home is safe and animal-friendly. I have a large yard to play in, although it is unfenced. Happy to walk the puppies as often as they would like, good for both of us!
“Samuel and Erica were great! I got lots of pictures and feedback. Samuel and Erica have Lana well trained as others have stated, and it’s evident. Moose settled in with them pretty quickly. Moose is small and didn’t want to play. They both learned to peacefully co-exist just as Samuel and Erica have experienced with other small pups. I highly recommend them!”
“Melanie loves dogs and is smart about what they need for care and play. My dog has separation anxiety and she went above and beyond in order to make him feel safe and comfortable.”
“Melissa was wonderful to work with and did a great job with our pups. She stayed in contact with me the whole time so I didn’t have any worries on leaving them. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Jacades was awesome! She accepted us last minute, she was great with duke and made our trip less stressful and more enjoyable and at peace with where Duke was at. Duke had a great time with them and I would 100000000% use her and her fiancé again! She sent me updates without asking, he looked very content with them. Thank you so much jacades for taking such great care of my boy!”
About: I’m a local college student with a super flexible schedule and exited attitude to help out whenever I can! I love animals and have been taking care of them since I was around 10. I have experienced house sitting and also watching pets from my own home. I currently don’t have pets of my own making it a great environment to offer my home up to help others. I look forward to creating new relationships with clients and their fur babies! My schedule is currently fully open with it being summer time and I’m looking to fill this time with new bookings! I am able to give my full attention to the pet and can adapt to their needs! I have a fenced in yard and live in a great neighborhood to walk in. I also do no have pets only own making it easier to watch your pet as well! I always want to put the pets needs first and make sure they are getting quality care!
About: “I’ve had dogs as companions since I was a child, and they’ve always been cherished members of my family. I treat every animal in my care like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.” “Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not just a job, but something I truly love. Living in the Appalachian mountains has taught me the value of a calm, grounded lifestyle, and I bring that same peaceful energy into the care I provide. I treat every pet like family and pay close attention to their unique personality and needs, whether they’re playful, shy, elderly, or needing extra comfort while you’re away. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, loved, and at home in my care.” “I care for every pet with the same attentiveness and love that I give my own children. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I work hard to create a calm, dependable environment where pets feel secure and cared for.
