Personalized care for your dog or cat - Axtell

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Axtell
“I highly recommend Kay! My dog just spent a week with her and she came back so happy and energized, I could tell she had a great time. I really appreciated the periodic check-ins and pictures she sent while I was away. It’s always hard leaving your pet but at least with Kay you’ll be confident they’re in good hands.”

“Kendra provided me updates throughout Charlie's stay at her house. It sounded like he had a good time with her dog and it was a much better experience than him staying at a kennel in town. Couldn't be happier that he had an actual house to stay at while we were gone.”

“Chrystal did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. Our dog stayed for two nights and Chrystal was wonderful about sending us pictures and keeping us updated. Would definitely pick Chrystal for future visits.”

“Cambree was great with our dogs! We were in town on business so I found Cambree on Rover. She was quick to reply and her reviews sounded like she was exactly what we were looking for! We will definitely use her again the next time we are in the area!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats my entire life; I love all animals. I’ll treat your animals as if they were my own - you can count on that! Full-time Rover so your pets ARE my schedule. I can pop-in and/or walk your pets any day, any time. This is a passion for me and your pets will benefit. I have a house with one Golden Retriever named Echo; he’s a big teddy bear. I know how much peace of mind a good pet-care professional affords when away, and I will treat your babies as if they were my own!
“Synthia did an amazing job with our great pyrenees! Her house is set up perfectly, she sent me updates to calm my nerves, and helped introduce him to cats successfully! I will definitely contact her the next time we need a sitter!”

About: I have watched elderly dogs, puppies, and up to 4 dogs at a time. My sister was a vet tech, and taught me animal behavior! I am currently working part-time, and would love to take care of your fur babies! Pets are family, and I will treat them with care! Have hosted 2 dogs at my house over the past 9 years, enjoy their company. I love animals, and will cater to their unique needs.

“Marilyn is amazing with my cat, Laylee! She’s usually really shy, but I can tell she’s comfortable around Marilyn from the photos and videos I get while I’m away. I love the regular updates—it gives me total peace of mind knowing Laylee is happy and cared for. Couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter!”

About: I grew up on a farm in rural Nebraska. I helped take care of everything from cats up to horses/cattle and all in-between. In our home we have June a mix of Basenji/German shepherd, she is 5 years old. Then we have Hank he is a dash hound mix at 4 years old and last but not least we have Florence a shorthaired calico that's almost 2 yrs old. I work from home so that being said I'm home ALL DAY! Your pet(s) would have constant run of the house and huge privacy fenced in back yard. I also love to do interactive toys/mats to keep the brain working hard through the day. We go on daily multi walks! At most your pet would be kenneled for up to two hours in case of grocery/picking up kids from events etc. I have two outgoing friendly dogs that love having play dates! We have a big fenced in back yard for everyone to play and run around in! I can kennel my dogs while your pet has eat time if need be for focus etc. All animals are allowed on all furniture and beds in our home as well.
About: I have always had dogs in my life. I have one small, blind dog with a big attitude who helped me learn how to handle difficult situations. I have one dog who is half Saint Bernard who helped me learn big dogs are teddy bears. And I watch my friends tiny Shih Tzu who helped me learn even small dogs can outsmart you. I’m experienced in all sizes, shapes, and attitudes...I’ve never met a dog I don’t adore. I'm equally happy helping with cats as well. While I don't own any, I'm happy to assist with any in the home. I currently work full-time on a consistent 8-5 schedule. I have an hour lunch break, so within Minden I can make a stop. I’m flexible as I’m typically in Minden, but prefer as much heads up as possible! Willing to travel on weekends up to 30 miles. I don’t plan on opening my home to dogs as I have a blind, tiny dog. But once there is an established relationship - I would consider.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Axtell
“Banna was wonderful in her communications from the start of our interaction very quick to reply and clearly communicate. When we travel around the country we have found great dog loving friends thru Rover and now count Banna as one of them. Arlo was well cared for, exercised and fed on his schedule at Banna's. Her yard is very securely fenced and full of grass that makes it fun for Arlo. We also received several pictures and updates on how he was doing during the day. If we lived nearby we would of course call Banna again.”

“Kaitlynn was absolutely amazing with Houdini! He has pretty severe separation anxiety and can't be kenneled because he'll hurt himself trying to get out, so I was understandably nervous about leaving him for the first time. Kaitlynn immediately put my mind at ease. I was also incredibly grateful that she was so accommodating and willing to watch Houdini on such short, last-minute notice. She truly saved the day by allowing me to attend my daughter's birthday party without having to worry about him. She was patient, kind, and treated Houdini like he was her own. She kept me updated throughout his stay with pictures and messages, which meant a lot and allowed me to actually enjoy the afternoon knowing he was in great hands. One of the biggest signs that he had such a great time was that she completely wore him out! Houdini came home happy, relaxed, and slept for hours afterward, which is no small accomplishment for such an energetic dog. It was obvious he received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I truly appreciate everything Kaitlynn did for Houdini, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about animals, goes above and beyond, and treats your pet like family, I highly recommend Kaitlynn!”

“Gwen was great with my senior, disabled dog. She was very professional, communicative, and most importantly, caring. I will book with her again and definitely recommend her to others!”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was about 8 years old. I have always had at least 2 dogs and a cat in the house growing up. Since I joined the military I also helped my friends and coworkers with their pets when they were away. I have a flexible schedule, I work full-time but can work from home most days. I am able to care for pets easily throughout the day. I currently have one dog, bernedoodle, he is the most spoiled pup there is. We have gone through many obedience classes together so I have knowledge and experience on how to properly walk and care for a dog. I love any opportunity I have to meet and care for any new animals. I love going on walks and playing with dogs and cats to keep them entertained! I am currently working at a flexible job, so I can be readily available to attend to your pet's needs and look after your fur baby for the majority of the day! I treat your home and your dog like I would my own! I make sure they have plenty of water, have been fed, time to potty, and plenty of play time as well! They won't be bored with me!
