“Kimberly and Tim thank you! Kimberly was absolutely amazing. Both the boys (doodles) had a little anxiety settling in for a few days stay with them, She was very attentive to their needs and messaged us right away with the symptoms and resolutions. She sent photos and updates of their activities throughout the days as well. Communication was A++! They were flexible with check in and check out times with a misunderstanding on our side due to being new users. Always kind and upbeat, thank you for shining your animal loving light bright for our fur babies!”
“Alex was able to accommodate my medium sized energetic pup and my little old lazy dog while I was away for a week. I knew they were enjoying their stay as she kept me updated with pictures and videos! I will use her again in the future.”
“So, so happy with Lyudmila’s care for my two young energetic dogs! I got daily pictures and videos and I knew they were having a great time 😄 She has a lovely, large fenced yard which is something my pets need. I can see she is good with dogs and quite experienced. I would 10/10 book her again!”
“Katrina did an excellent job of caring for Knox. He appeared to feel very comfortable and found a friend among the pups that were there. He had good social interaction and was a tired pup when we got home.”
“Allison was beyond amazing! I could feel her kindness from the start. She was so good with our dog. This was our first time leaving him since he was very young and he had so much fun! She has a deep understanding of dogs and is in tune with their needs. She sent updates and pics throughout the stay which was reassuring. Would recommend over and over.”
“Pamela was so wonderful to work with and I could tell she enjoys and cares about the pups she watches. Will definitely be having her watch Chloe again next time I’m in the area!”
“Jennifer and her family took care of my timid and anxious 8 year old sheltie and my very hyper golden puppy! Jennifer is such a stellar person. She loved and looked after my boys like they were her own pets. She was patient with my older pup and earned his trust.. He never lets anyone close to him, and he let jennifer and her family close! I am so incredibly grateful to have found her on Rover. Hands down i will use her again and i recommend her 10/10 to anyone looking to board their precious pups!”
“My pups had a great time with Eric and Gretchen! They came home relaxed and happy. We received sweet photos of the pups and frequent texts. They did a great job taking care of their meds -- very calm and caring.”
“This was my first time ever having someone outside of my family watch my dog, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was so communicative the entire time, sending me regular updates and lots of pictures — and my girl Mabel looked so happy in every single one! It was so comforting to see how well she was being cared for. When my flight was unexpectedly delayed, she was incredibly flexible and understanding, and immediately said she would watch Mabel until I could get back. That level of care and reliability made a stressful situation so much easier. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and treats the dogs she watches like her own. I’m so grateful I found her, and I will 100% be booking with her again. Highly recommend! 🐶❤️”
“Sabrina and her family were wonderful to work with. I felt immediately at ease meeting with them and Ted had a great time staying at their house. They sent plenty of pictures of his adventures and we've already booked another stay with them. Would give more stars if I could, definitely recommend trusting your pet with this family!”
“Miranda was great with Sadie. Her availability fit my last minute needs and she was very responsive the entire time. I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I truly love them with my whole heart and would do anything to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy or a senior dog who needs some extra care, I treat every pet like they’re family. I’m all about cuddles, consistency, and making sure your pet feels totally at home. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I work full time but have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m able to plan my days around pet visits, walks, and playtime. I’m already used to building my day around my own cat, so adding in extra care is something I truly enjoy. Having animals around makes my day better, and I love being that dependable person pets can feel safe with. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my top priority is making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In your home, I stick to their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and snuggles—so everything feels familiar. At my place, while I don’t have a yard, I live right next to a dog park, which means plenty of playtime and fresh air! Pets in my care get a cozy, calm space, lots of love, and attention tailored to their needs.
“She was very pleasant to work with and always provided pictures! She was great to work with, and I know my dog loved spending time over there! Would 100% book again when leaving town!”
“Ana was so caring for our dog, Nala. She gave great updates (including video and pics!). It was so comforting knowing she was being well-loved on and cared for while we were away! We will definitely ask Ana to watch her again sometime! ☺️”
“Taylor's care was simply fantastic. Her own dogs are so gentle and welcoming; you can see that Taylor and her husband are dog lovers. My dog craves exercise, so I was a little hesitant about how she would adjust to staying in an apartment, but I should never have worried! Taylor made sure she had lots of safe, outside, running time at the park! She sent us pictures and updates, and although Sydney was glad to see me, she was also stress-free and obviously well cared for. I recommend Taylor 100%.”
“A super warm vibe from Katelyn when dropping off and picking up. Katelyn checked in to ask a good question and her pictures reassured us that Dixie was aok. She was more than ok, even feeling comfortable enough to eat her food, take a nap, and play, play, play with Mae.”
“Renae was absolutely amazing with our little guy. Immediately upon meeting her we knew he'd be in good hands. Her and her family really treated him like their own, we will definitely reach out again for future care. Thank you again!”

“This was my second time booking Briea, and she was fantastic to work with again! I rarely leave my cat for more than a day or two, but I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. I could tell from the photos she provided that he was happy to have her around! Very reliable, easy to communicate with, and left me detailed notes at the end of each visit.”
“Vanessa was fantastic! We were able to relax and enjoy our time away because we knew that our cats were being taken care of by someone who is attentive and caring. We are very grateful for Vanessa and will continue booking with her!”
“Amanda was great with our cats! She is so communicative and easy to work with! We were so thankful to have her! It made a huge difference having that peace of mind while on vacation! We could not recommend her more!”
About: Ive grown up around dogs, but now they grow up around me! The last few years have been spent helping my family foster, adopting a dog of my very own, and working as a kennel tech at a local boarding facility where i take care of all sorts of pups daily. I am a full time college student, but I do make time for any animals that need my help! I will have more availability in the summer months. My dogs and kittens are very well loved! My family has taught all the dogs to ring bells placed on the back doorknob when they have to go outside, so they go in and out as they please. I enjoy sitting in the sun with senior dogs, as they prefer that to running around in the yard like the puppies tend to do (although i’ll do both!)
About: I have a cat of my own (Boots) who is my best friend. I’ve had Boots since he was a kitten. In addition, I have fostered over 6 cats for Homeward Animal Shelter. During this time, I cared for cats that required insulin, supplements, and a structured feeding routine.
“Kathryn did a great job with Pookie and Pumpkin. She shared updates and pictures. I feel she is very trustworthy. She took extensive notes during our meet and greet visit. She followed all of my instructions.”
About: I am a certified fear free professional dog trainer. Prior to opening my business I worked as a Licensed Veterinary Technician for 6 years in 2 fargo/moorhead Veterinary Clinics. Prior to that I worked at a boarding facility. I enjoy working with dogs and cats of all ages. I have had 2 diabetic Cats in my life and I am comfortable with administering medications/injections to dogs and cats.I am also comfortable walking dog who can be over reactive to dogs and people. During the weekdays I have flexibility in my mornings and afternoons. I enjoy being active and offering care for companion animals. I am looking forward to caring for/walking companions animals during that time. I am a certified fear a force free professional dog trainer. I am commented to working with and caring for animals with patience, compassion and respect.
“First time leaving my puppy, Ollie, with a sitter. Adam was the perfect sitter for my little, timid pup. He knew how to make Ollie comfortable with him, was knowledgeable of dog training techniques, responsive to any questions I had, and left pics and comments. Ollie was well taken care of and my vacation was worry free.”
“Julia took care of my two kitties and did a fantastic job. She sent me pictures of my girls at each visit and communicated very well with me. I definitely recommend her to any cat owner!”
“Arica is such an amazing pet sitter!! I appreciate the thorough details of her visits and she's so sweet with my boys! I come home to happy and healthy pets, and even my timid boy is even getting more comfortable with her. She understands their body language and keeps them as comfortable as possible with their mom being away. She's now my go to sitter when I need one!”
About: I've been around cats for much of my life and understand the importance of providing patient, attentive care that matches each cat's unique personality. My experience includes feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, administering basic care, and ensuring cats feel comfortable in their home environment while their owners are away. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I will provide reliable, compassionate care and plenty of attention to help them feel safe and happy.
About: I fell in love with cats in 2009. I grew up with my sweet girls Sophie and Noel, and now have a wonderful rescue cat named Rana! Whether your cat loves cuddles, to have company while still having their own space, or if they just need a designated treat giver while you're out... I'm here to help!
“I’ll definitely hire Maria again! I’d never gotten a sitter for my kitty before and was a little nervous but she eased my mind and took excellent care of her while I was gone. Thank you for being so kind and trustworthy!! :)”
About: I am an experienced pet care taker. I had a dog of my own for 7 years before she passed away of a heart condition. I now have the best Rottie in the earth. Before that my family had dogs and cats growing up. I also consistently foster animals through one of the organizations in town. All dogs on my profile are dogs I either owned, fostered, or babysat. I love to spend as much time with the dogs I am sitting! If it’s the weekend only this is easy to do - If your dog would like a friend my Rottie would like to come with! If not no worries at all! For weekdays: I work from home and can make moving to your home work but will need a desk space or active table space with the ability to plug in - and preferably the ability to bring my 4 year old friendly Rottie with me. If I am unable to bring her what I have done in the past is work from my home and then spend the evening/night with your dog. I always make a lunch break work for this plan. This often mimics similar to a 8-5 schedule. We can definitely discuss details on this! She is part of a team that helps a rescue in town dog test new dogs on their reaction to others! I look forward to hearing from you.- I try to be flexible as possible for your dogs needs. If these schedules don’t work for you - please still reach out if you want to discuss options! I am comfortable continuing what you have done with your dog in your home. Normal walks? You got it. Fenced yard and fetch? Terrific. I love to keep dogs into the regular routine as it’s already stressful for their human to be gone. I do request if you have scent plugs in your home that they are unplugged during any extended stay you schedule with me - thanks!
About: I have always been an animal lover! I grew up around dogs, cats, and cattle/farm life animals. Every animal that I encounter, I love it like it’s my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule. I am looking for a new opportunity to be around animals this summer and get outdoors whether it’s walking pets or playing outside with pets. I have had 3 big dogs growing up and currently have 2 cats of my own that I adopted from homeward animal shelter. I always ensure that any animal in my care gets all the love that they can and that they have all the needed supplies, toys, and treats.
About: I am an animal lover with lots of experience! I have worked in pet care and have watched neighbors animals as well. From turtles and birds to dogs and cats, I can help with any of your animal care needs! Taking time off for the summer before college. I will be available 7 days a week until late August. I own a dog so pet care is a part of my daily life! I have a 5 bedroom house with lots of room for pets! The yard is not fenced in but there is a tether. The backyard is large so even with the tether there is plenty of space for any pets to roam!
About: I have grown up with cats all my life, as my grandparents lived on a farm and had many indoor and outdoor cats. I am employed with an agency in the F/M area and have done many cat visits that have involved cleaning litter, feeding, giving medication, playing, and of course giving lots of pets and love.

“I really appreciate the cure Lyudmila give to my dog Dior every day. She will send me pictures of my dog and she looks so good. She will communicate with me too. And her communication skills was excellent. I would love to take my door back to her any day.”
“Yuki is very friendly and a great communicator. She shared several photos of our dog during the day. We also liked how she safely introduced other dogs to ours in a controlled way. We highly recommend her. Our dog CeCe really enjoyed her time there. Thank you, Yuki!!”
“Bailey has always been so nice and very accommodating. Our dogs also get along great! She sends updates and pictures every time our dog is with her. She has walked him, boarded him and also done daycare for us. I would 100% recommend her for your doggy needs!”
“So great! Very responsive and sent updates. My doggie wasn’t feeling great and it put me at ease knowing she was in good hands, while I was at work. 10/10 will book with Pamela again.”
“My partner and I were driving across the country with our 50lb Samoyed, Jack, to relocate to our new home. On our trip, we decided to stop through Fargo where my family is from and take in NDSU football game — Go Bisons! We needed someone to watch Jack for the few hours we were at the game, and Taylor readily accepted our last minute (day before) request. Jack is a calm, friendly dog who seems to have been experiencing some anxiety on the long drive and is not consistently eating or pooping. We were a little nervous leaving him with new people in a new place when he was already on edge. However, Taylor and her family seemed to put him at ease immediately. Taylor kept us updated with pictures and milestones, and when we picked him up he had eaten all of his food, pooped, and played a bunch outside. He seemed happy, calm, and well cared for. If you have any dog sitting needs, we definitely recommend Taylor!”
“Rachel and her family have been a life saver for us. We have a lovely little pup that adores kids and other puppies...and Rachel has just that. Eva loves to go to Rachel's. A sleepy pup is a wonderful pup❤️”
About: I have been caring for dogs for most of my life, starting when I was 6 years old, when I was gifted my first puppy for Christmas. I trained my bishon shitzu to jump through hoops at age 11, not professionally, but I was still pretty impressed. I also helped my parents potty train him. When he got older, I cared for him while he had Cushing’s syndrome until the day he went over the rainbow bridge. Just 2 shorts years ago, I got my second dog, Oakley. He has been my entire world and I trained him on my own, as well as brought him to training classes and learned to do some of those things myself. I absolutely adore dogs and I have since day 1. I love all shapes and sizes and I will always care for them as if they are my own. I look forward to meeting your fur babies that you love just like I do. 😊 I’m currently in PA school fully online and would love to have additional company! I have a Goldendoodle around who loves to play with friends! I live in a condo and have a doodle who I take on walks at least once a day, and I’m sure he’d love to have a buddy or two along. He gets along very well with all dogs and always loves to be around them.
About: Hi! I’m a full-time pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals—not just dogs and cats, but also small mammals and exotics. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, cats, rats, tortoises, lizards, hermit crabs, and even tiny critters like jumping spiders. If it has fur, scales, or a shell, there’s a good chance I’m comfortable caring for it! I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I always prioritize each animal’s individual needs, routines, and comfort level. Whether that means high-energy playtime for big dogs, gentle handling for small pets, or precise care for reptiles and invertebrates, I take pride in providing safe, thoughtful, and reliable care. I’m available full-time, which allows me to be flexible with scheduling and attentive to your pet while you’re away. I understand that every pet household is different, and I’m happy to discuss specific care needs, animals not listed here, or custom pricing. If you have any questions at all—about availability, pricing, or whether I’d be a good fit for your pet—please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to chat and make sure your pet gets the best care possible! I have experience with different age ranges too - I've had the opportunity to see many of my fur family member's long lives, from beginning to end. I am currently working remotely and on my own time, so I have lots of flexibility with times and services. I love being outdoors and enjoy a cozy day in too. We have an unfenced yard and a deck with a gate on the stairs down. We live on walking trails that our fur babies frequent with. Dogs and cats are allowed to free-roam the house. We do have MANY kennels (with varying sizes) that we can utilize if needed. I also am comfortable going into your home and watching your critters there too :)
“We had a great experience. Ty was friendly, responsive and flexible when our times needed adjusting. The fenced yard is great and the dogs loved exploring all of the dog toys. Happy dogs. Happy dog parents. We’ll definitely use Ty again.”
“Nicole is lovely! She took on our separation anxiety boy, Oslo, and did so well with him. We were sent several updates and pictures throughout the day so we could see that Oslo was comfortable, happy, and care for!”
“Awesome sitter! Was able to squeeze my girl in last minute on the Fourth of July so I could spend time with family instead of stressing over her barking (from separation anxiety) in the hotel. Erin is so sweet and invited us in right away to take a look at her house and the backyard. She made me feel very good about leaving my little angel in her care. When we went to pick her up Erin invited us in again and filled us in on everything they did together. Mocha was a very happy girl when we picked her up and I know they had fun together!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’ve trained my own dogs through three levels of obedience and raised five of them from the time they were 8 weeks old and took care of them through their elderly years including in pup wheel chairs. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to independent cats and senior pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work school hours during the week and have Thursdays at home, which gives me extra flexibility for pet care. I’m available for walks and drop-ins after 4 p.m. on weekdays, and for boarding or extended visits on weekends. Your pets will always get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I love spending time brushing and walking all of my furry friends. I don’t have a fenced yard at this time, but I spend lots of time outside with pets in our spacious back yard and make sure they’re always safely supervised. I’m comfortable using leashes, harnesses, and long leads to give dogs room to explore while keeping them secure. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, caring environment where every pet feels safe and loved.

She kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Brodie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs. My friends and family have trusted me with all kinds of dogs. I love to walk dogs, play with dogs, and everything else that comes with being a pet owner!

“Kathryn is absolutely wonderful with my two pups. She realized right away little Dukie does better with his “momma” on their walks so she takes both the pups together. Kathryn is extremely kind, trustworthy, and very good at communicating. It takes so much off my plate knowing I have a dependable dog walker/sitter for when my baby gets here, absolute Godsend!”
“Adam did an awesome job with our dogs! Scarlett doesn’t always have the best social skills with new people, but he handled her like a pro and she warmed up fast. Luka had a rough start not feeling the best, but Adam took it all in stride and kept both dogs safe and happy. This walk was a prep for upcoming house sitting, and it gave us a lot of confidence knowing he communicates well, goes above and beyond, and really cares. Highly recommend!”
About: I have grown up with both big and small dogs, as well as cats. I’m a lover of all animals and can’t wait to help you with yours! I prioritize them getting adequate exercise, play time, and of course snuggles and treats. I am a senior college student with a flexible schedule. I can work around yours to provide the best care. Let’s talk and figure out a schedule that works for you! At my own house, I have a medium yard, and live in a safe neighbor hood. At your house, I will do my best to care for your pet in the routine that they are used to.
About: I’ve had experience taking care of dogs pretty much my whole life, so I’m really comfortable around all kinds of personalities and needs. I’ve also spent a lot of time staying overnight with dogs and watching them for different lengths of time, whether it’s just a day or longer trips. I’m used to handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m a teacher during the school year, so my weekdays are a bit more structured since I’m working from about 8–4. In the summer, I switch things up and work as a nanny three days a week. I’m still available on weekends year-round, and during the school year I can be available outside of my work hours on weekdays as well. I really strive to be a safe, calm place for dogs, no matter their personality or needs. I’m comfortable around all types—whether they’re super energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. I’m also very good at following whatever routine or plan you already have set up for your pet, so they can stay comfortable and stick to what they’re used to while you’re away.

About: I have grown up with pets being a huge part of my life. Right now I have my sweet girls Paris and Rana. Paris is a four-year old Golden Retriever and Rana is a rescue kitty from Furry Friend's Rockin' Rescue. We adopted her in 2020! I grew up with cats, and although I didn't get my first dog until I moved out on my own, she has truly made me fall in love with being a dog mom. There's something special about the genuine love that all pets give us, and there's nothing I'd love more than to help take care of yours when life gets busy. Our pets are family. They will be in great hands and will get all of the love that they deserve! I am a full-time musician, but most of the time my Monday-Friday consists of spending time with my own pets before I hit the road! Although my schedule is unpredictable, it does leave room for even more flexibility and the ability to take last minute drop-ins/walk requests! I will always put your pets safety and happiness first. I know how terrifying it can be to leave your pets' care up to someone you've never met, but can assure you they will get nothing but love and attention during my drop-ins! I am unable to have pets come to my own home as it stresses my rescue cat out too much, but love doing drop-in visits at your convenience! I am someone who runs half marathons and walks for fun... So there is nothing I'd love more than to help walk your sweet fur babies as well!
“My first time using Rover, Michelle was very nice, came over to meet us before the visit, and kept me updated. She made me feel much better about having a stranger come over and walk my dog.”
About: I have taken care of friends & family members dogs, both big & small, since I was 11 years old. I also volunteered at the humane society in my hometown for 4 years. Growing up my family also participated in a foster care program and cared for a mother dog and her litter of 5 puppies. I have also been blessed with the experience of working professionally with dogs for 3+ years & plan to continue in the future. I also have 2 dogs of my own! I am currently not working for the summer. During the school year I work as a food service worker at a local middle school. I am very passionate about animals! I’ve worked at 3 different doggie daycares as a dog handler/shift leader & as an assistant manager. I’ve gained a lot of experience during my time at these facilities and have grown even more passionate! I have experience in many areas when it comes to caring for pets! My husband and I have two dogs named Woody & Bee. Woody is a German short haired pointer that is very playful, gentle & has lots of love to give! He is extremely dog friendly & has accompanied me to the doggie daycare facilities and played with dogs of all shapes & sizes. Bee is a golden retriever who is as sweet as can be. All she ever wants to do is cuddle and be best buddies! She is also great with other dogs & just wants to have fun. We do live in an apartment but we have a larger living room where our dogs play when inside. I take our dog’s potty every 3-4 hours max. We also have a huge grassy area right across the street where we love to let our dogs run & play. I am willing to crate your pets if needed but I am a huge dog lover and will soak up all the puppy cuddles I can get!
“Vanessa came over to walk 1 of my dogs (puppy!) during lunchtime. She also let my other 2 dogs outside so the 3 of them could play together. She brought the puppy on a 1-2 mile walk every day and tried to get his energy out. She was prompt and provided daily feedback with pictures. Will definitely book again!”

The backyard is large so even with the tether there is plenty of space for any pets to roam!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I truly love them with my whole heart and would do anything to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy or a senior dog who needs some extra care, I treat every pet like they’re family. I’m all about cuddles, consistency, and making sure your pet feels totally at home. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I work full time but have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m able to plan my days around pet visits, walks, and playtime. I’m already used to building my day around my own cat, so adding in extra care is something I truly enjoy. Having animals around makes my day better, and I love being that dependable person pets can feel safe with. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my top priority is making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In your home, I stick to their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and snuggles—so everything feels familiar. At my place, while I don’t have a yard, I live right next to a dog park, which means plenty of playtime and fresh air! Pets in my care get a cozy, calm space, lots of love, and attention tailored to their needs.
About: Hello! I have always had a love for animals especially dogs and cats. I had my own dog, Charlie, who had complex health issues and unfortunately is no longer with me. He made me comfortable with giving medications, insulin/allergy shots, and following instructions with dietary restrictions that I can also provide your pets with when needed. I currently work full time M-F, but my schedule is flexible during the week and most weekends. I have also been employed for over a year with a company in the F/M area providing pet care services in people's homes. I LOVE what I do and always looking for more opportunities to meet new furry friends. My schedule is flexible and I respond quickly to text/phone calls or email when reaching out looking for pet care. I'm able to do morning shifts before I head to my full time job M-F, lunch breaks, and after work. I can often move my schedule around if you need other times throughout the day too. Just ask! Weekends are more open when I am not out of town. I prefer going to the pets home to provide care where they are in a familiar environment. I can provide walks, bring your pet outside to play, clean litter boxes, feed and fill their water, administer medication etc. Boarding in my home can also be provided, as I have a pet and smoke free home and can work with your pets needs to make them feel safe and at home.
About: I've grown up with vastly different dogs; my first was a grumpy senior cocker spaniel and my last was the sweetest, smartest Australian Shepard/blue heeler. I've also taken care of friends' and family's pets like my aunt's deaf pitbull and my cousin's St. Bernard. Needless to say, I have a wide range of pet experience. I'm currently an online graduate student, which means I have flexibility to work around yours and your pet's schedule. I'm available most days with available times from early morning to late evening. It's important for a pet to feel safe in their home. It's important to follow a pet's boundaries, I try to cater to their needs and their routine.
“Isabella has been absolutely wonderful to work with! My timid dog loves when she comes over, and I feel comfortable knowing that Isabella is caring for her. I would highly recommend!”

“Kimberly and Tim thank you! Kimberly was absolutely amazing. Both the boys (doodles) had a little anxiety settling in for a few days stay with them, She was very attentive to their needs and messaged us right away with the symptoms and resolutions. She sent photos and updates of their activities throughout the days as well. Communication was A++! They were flexible with check in and check out times with a misunderstanding on our side due to being new users. Always kind and upbeat, thank you for shining your animal loving light bright for our fur babies!”
“Alex was able to accommodate my medium sized energetic pup and my little old lazy dog while I was away for a week. I knew they were enjoying their stay as she kept me updated with pictures and videos! I will use her again in the future.”
“Katrina did an excellent job of caring for Knox. He appeared to feel very comfortable and found a friend among the pups that were there. He had good social interaction and was a tired pup when we got home.”
“Allison was beyond amazing! I could feel her kindness from the start. She was so good with our dog. This was our first time leaving him since he was very young and he had so much fun! She has a deep understanding of dogs and is in tune with their needs. She sent updates and pics throughout the stay which was reassuring. Would recommend over and over.”
“Pamela was so wonderful to work with and I could tell she enjoys and cares about the pups she watches. Will definitely be having her watch Chloe again next time I’m in the area!”
“My pups had a great time with Eric and Gretchen! They came home relaxed and happy. We received sweet photos of the pups and frequent texts. They did a great job taking care of their meds -- very calm and caring.”
“This was my first time ever having someone outside of my family watch my dog, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was so communicative the entire time, sending me regular updates and lots of pictures — and my girl Mabel looked so happy in every single one! It was so comforting to see how well she was being cared for. When my flight was unexpectedly delayed, she was incredibly flexible and understanding, and immediately said she would watch Mabel until I could get back. That level of care and reliability made a stressful situation so much easier. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and treats the dogs she watches like her own. I’m so grateful I found her, and I will 100% be booking with her again. Highly recommend! 🐶❤️”
“Miranda was great with Sadie. Her availability fit my last minute needs and she was very responsive the entire time. I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care!”

“She was very pleasant to work with and always provided pictures! She was great to work with, and I know my dog loved spending time over there! Would 100% book again when leaving town!”
“Ana was so caring for our dog, Nala. She gave great updates (including video and pics!). It was so comforting knowing she was being well-loved on and cared for while we were away! We will definitely ask Ana to watch her again sometime! ☺️”
“Taylor's care was simply fantastic. Her own dogs are so gentle and welcoming; you can see that Taylor and her husband are dog lovers. My dog craves exercise, so I was a little hesitant about how she would adjust to staying in an apartment, but I should never have worried! Taylor made sure she had lots of safe, outside, running time at the park! She sent us pictures and updates, and although Sydney was glad to see me, she was also stress-free and obviously well cared for. I recommend Taylor 100%.”
“A super warm vibe from Katelyn when dropping off and picking up. Katelyn checked in to ask a good question and her pictures reassured us that Dixie was aok. She was more than ok, even feeling comfortable enough to eat her food, take a nap, and play, play, play with Mae.”
“Renae was absolutely amazing with our little guy. Immediately upon meeting her we knew he'd be in good hands. Her and her family really treated him like their own, we will definitely reach out again for future care. Thank you again!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs. My friends and family have trusted me with all kinds of dogs. I love to walk dogs, play with dogs, and everything else that comes with being a pet owner! I have a very open schedule. I may be gone for an hour in the morning and occasional events from time to time. I will have lots of available time to spend with your dog. My home has a very large fenced in backyard. We have a great walking path for long or short walks. We have one dog that gets along very well with other dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, and have taken care of cats for 2 years now. I love taking care of both equally! I work full time, my husband works part time and is home during the day. We are available to watch your pets on weekends, but can do during the week as well! I have a home in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in yard with plenty of room for dogs to run. I also own a friendly chocolate lab that would love play with your pup!
About: I genuinely enjoy caring for animals. My kids are 10 & 7. They have grown up with pets in the home & understand to respect the animal. I am able to give them attention throughout the day as I work in my home. I only accept 1 dog per day as a playmate to my own dog & to ensure the dogs have enough supervision. I have a fully fenced yard for them to explore & enjoy. I'll keep you updated with photos throughout their stay. To ensure safety and a stress-free stay for everyone: -Dogs must be comfortable in a home environment -No severe separation anxiety (must be able to settle when I step out briefly) -No destructive behaviors (chewing furniture, doors, crates, etc.) -No aggressive behaviors toward people or other dogs -No escape artists (must respect fencing and gates) -Up-to-date on vaccinations and flea prevention -Friendly with children and other dogs I work from home in an office upstairs. Currently, my pets are able to roam freely throughout the house. I am able to do 10-15 minute walks in the morning, (longer during lunch, afternoon, & in the evening. I have a fenced in yard. The pets are able to roam freely throughout the house, or I am able to coral them to one side of the house when we leave. Dogs will be crated during the night.
