“Anjali took very good care of my pups while I was away. She messages back quickly with correspondence. She also sent pic updates, which I love and appreciates so much. I highly recommend this rover sitter. Her son also had a lot of fun playing with one of my pups. All and all, very positive experience. Thank you!”
“Kelsey and Conor took great care of Rosie! Kelsey was so nice to communicate with and responded quickly to messages. Her dogs were so friendly and greeted Rosie so kindly right away! I would definitely book with Kelsey and Conor again. They made me feel like my dog was one of their own!”
“Jayanna went above, and beyond to accommodate me from my 1st last minute request at 5.a.m., to keeping my Kenny an extra few hrs because I had an accident that even called for an ambulance, and was still available to have him ready at 12:30 a.m. so we could get on the Hwy heading towards Texas. She was the Greatest. $40 tip along with the extra hours into a paid full day day was a drop in the bucket for someone a kind, sweet, and caring with animals, and clients as she's proben to be! 🥰”
“Phyllis was fantastic!!! She kept in touch with us frequently for an update on how Domino was doing, which put our minds at ease. We really appreciated the report card when we returned. It was very obvious that Domino enjoyed her! We will definitely request her again."”
“Jenny and her family took such great care of my fur baby. I loved the daily pictures and videos to update me on my pup. She was so happy and her vibrant self. I was afraid she would be sad since this was the first time we spent more than a couple of days apart, but Jenny and her family took such great care of her that she was able to get comfortable almost instantly. I would definitely book with them again.”
“Aivy was amazing! I can’t say enough positive things. She took the best care of Herbie to the point I didn’t think he was going to want to come home. She sent tons of pictures and loved on him like he was her own.”
“Took care of my dog perfectly and wrote a letter pretending it was my dog telling me what he did when he was with her. Would recommend to anyone looking to have their pet watched.”
“I highly recommend Yajaira!! She was warm and welcoming and treated my dog like he was part of her family! She communicated with me often and sent pictures!! I will definitely be using her again😊”
“She was amazing with my pup. She was very responsive and sent pics every day. Her daughter was also really lovely with my pup. She was even nice enough to give me a food scoop to take home since mine was lost a while ago. I would definitely recommend”
“Kristina took amazing care of Darby!! She bought her toys and treats. I could tell Darby had a great time and I enjoyed my vacation knowing my dog was in good hands :)”
“Monica and Conrad are truly awesome. Leaving our puppy, kiko, over the Christmas holiday felt easy knowing he was in such caring hands. We loved the constant updates, and it was clear she got plenty of play, exercise, and even some command work. Their dog Pongo, was sweet and showed our pup around during hikes. Highly recommend.”
About: Attention to detail. Lots of love to give with kids grown and departed. We believe your animals are just as important as our friends and family. We work from home and have a small havanese dog as well as a small cat. Caring for another pup or two would be no problem at all! We have a fully fenced in back yard. A spacious home that is already dog friendly. And a very safe and beautiful neighborhood. Must be cat friendly. Lots of love and attention to give.
“First time using this app and I was very anxious because I have nv left my dog with strangers but Hali made sure to send me pics and videos of uno which helped a lot. She did not disappoint 🙌🏾 Thank you Hali 🫶🏾”
“Lottie always loves her time with Hilary and Sam and their pups. She gets lots of play time and is happy and tired when she comes back to us!!! They are also flexible with drop off and pick up, which we appreciate!”
About: Hi, I’m Jai! I’m a passionate animal lover, certified dog groomer, and dedicated pet caregiver who believes every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved — even when they’re away from their family. 🐶✨ My journey with animals began through my 4 years in FFA (Future Farmers of America), where I gained hands-on experience with animal care, responsibility, and proper handling. I also have experience working on a farm, which helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior, patience, safety, and the importance of providing consistent care. Throughout high school, I completed 4 years of agriculture classes, including animal science and anatomy studies, which helped me better understand animal health, body structure, and overall well-being. Along with my dog grooming certification, I have built a strong foundation in caring for dogs and understanding their individual needs. I am also continuing my education with the goal of opening my own affordable, high-quality dog care facility, where every pet can receive loving, dependable care without families having to worry about the cost. My passion is creating a place where dogs feel at home and owners feel confident knowing their pets are in caring hands. I understand that every dog is unique. Whether your pup is a playful adventurer, a shy sweetheart, a senior needing extra patience, or a cuddle-loving companion, I take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel comfortable. When your dog is in my care, you can expect: 🐾 Safe, reliable, and personalized attention 🐾 Plenty of playtime, enrichment, and affection 🐾 Walks and activities based on your dog’s energy level 🐾 Grooming knowledge and attention to their comfort 🐾 Regular updates and photos so you can stay connected 🐾 A patient, caring, and responsible environment Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something I’m passionate about and continue to build my future around. I would love the opportunity to meet your furry family member and provide them with the same love, patience, and care I would want for my own. 🐕💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom because I’m already dedicated to creating a structured, safe, and loving environment. My days are built around routines, responsibility, and making sure everyone’s needs are met — including my furry guests. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care throughout the day, including walks, playtime, feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. One of the things that makes my home special is my 4 acres of outdoor space where dogs can enjoy supervised playtime, exercise, and exploring. My property includes a walking trail, a river area, and an invisible fence system that helps provide an added layer of security while they enjoy the outdoors. Safety is always my top priority, and I make sure every pup is comfortable and cared for during outdoor activities. I love creating a home-away-from-home experience where dogs can relax, have fun, and receive personalized attention. Between my animal care background, grooming experience, and love for dogs, I’m committed to giving each pet the patience, care, and affection they deserve. I want owners to feel confident knowing their furry family members are in a safe, loving, and attentive environment. 🐾 When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every dog feels like part of the family. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and individual needs so I can provide personalized care. My daily routine allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, including regular potty breaks, meals on schedule, playtime, exercise, enrichment activities, and lots of affection. I have 4 acres of outdoor space where dogs can enjoy supervised adventures, including a trail for walks, open areas to play, and access to nature while being protected by an invisible fence system for added security. I understand that every dog is different, so I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, comfort preferences, and daily habits. My background as a certified dog groomer, along with my experience through FFA, agriculture classes, and working on a farm, has helped me understand animal behavior, safe handling, and the importance of patience and proper care. My goal is to provide a home-away-from-home experience where pets feel happy, relaxed, and loved while their owners have peace of mind knowing they are receiving dependable, attentive care. 🐾If a pet is crate-trained or an owner requests it, I can comfortably use crates for rest periods, meals, or bedtime to help maintain their normal routine. Throughout the day, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection, and I work to keep their schedules as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease while away from home.
“Brijana is the best! This was our first time leaving our pup, Tofu, with a sitter and we were super nervous. We knew Tofu was in great hands with Brijana! She kept us updated every day with texts and photos and was very patient when our little Tofu was potty-shy. She keeps the doggies in spaces where they will be comfortable and safe but also provides them the opportunity to play with the other doggies that are staying with her as well. I will absolutely book with her any time we need a sitter again. Thanks Brijana!”

About: I'm dedicated to providing top-notch care for your beloved pets. With years of experience, I offer reliable pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits tailored to your furry friend's needs. Whether it's cuddle time, play sessions, or simply ensuring they're fed and watered, your pet's well-being is my priority. Rest assured, I'm committed to maintaining their routine and providing companionship and affection while you're away. My schedule can easily accommodate the needs and preferences of your pup, as I am home full time. I can provide frequent potty breaks and walks for your fur baby, as needed. We have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for your dogs to play and run. When walking dogs, I use a standard leash, in addition to a hands-free waist leash, to ensure your pup stays safe.
“This is our second time booking with Julia, and once again it was such a smooth process. We fully trust that our cats are well taken care of while we’re away. Highly recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover & I was extremely nervous, Megan came over to introduce herself and I was immediately at ease. She respected us having a no shoe policy & she was fast to respond to my text messages. I felt happy and confident leaving my fur baby with her.”
“My sister told me about Rover.com. We needed someone to stop by once a day to take care of our 3 cats over Thanksgiving. Due to the holiday, it was more difficult to find someone available. I found Donna was available for the days we needed. Even though we were a little out of her service area, she was willing to accommodate us. It was a comfort knowing she stopped by every day to give our cats fresh water, food & cleaned their litter boxes. And when one of them threw up, she cleaned up the mess instead of leaving it. She also sent pictures of all 3 cats each day so we knew they were ok. I would definitely recommend Donna if you need someone to take care of your fur babies!”
About: I have had my very first cat now for 13 years. I’ve always had a dog but now that I have a cat I have a better understanding of how independent they are. I understand that even though cats are independent, they need care and love when you aren’t there. I’m available to feed, and play with your cat when you’re away or at work. Let me know how I can care for your fur baby.
About: I have a cat of my own! Allie is my childhood cat who is my baby and I take care of on a day to day basis. I’m also extremely familiar with cat care as I’ve cat-sat for a range of fluffy clients! I’m comfortable with litter boxes and love to give pets.
About: I’ve always had dogs of all ages and breeds in the family. It is fulfilling giving dogs their best life possible. I understand a few walks can mean so much to your dog’s week and I promise to treat them as if they were a member of my family! I have a full time job that allows me to have mornings and early afternoons off. I would be willing to work abnormal hours and consider myself to have a very flexible schedule. I have a mini golden doodle and am constantly aware of the potential dangers to her. While caring for your dog I will keep an eye out for other potential dangers that could harm them.
“Both kitties were in great moods when we got home. They seemed really happy with their visits and we loved all of the extra touches Jacqueline M. provided. Super happy with Jacqueline and Rover. They take the anxiety away from worrying about who will watch our kitties when we are away.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since 5 years ago helping friends and family when they needed help. I always had a connection with dogs and love to take care of them. I have a part-time job that gives me time to take care of pets weekdays and weekends mostly in the mornings. I can accommodate my schedule too. I make sure that all the necessities and schedules any dog has are completed before leaving, making sure the dog feels comfortable and safe are my top priorities.
About: I’ve pet sat for a couple years now, my most regular customer has multiple dogs, one cat, four birds, and a ton of snakes, so I’m well equipped to watch a variety of animals! Throughout my life I’ve had multiple dogs, all different breeds, German shepherds, shih tzu’s, Boston terriers, and more, so in my opinion there’s no animal too big or too small that I can’t befriend! I’m a college student but my schedule is pretty flexible outside of classes, though during school breaks I’m completely free and I do own a car so I can travel a good distance to wherever your home resides! I will not be caring for pets in my own home, but when I’m caring in your home I’m more then happy to accommodate for whatever your pet needs, such as using a leash to go potty, or getting them to take pills if need be!
About: I have had multiple dogs ever since I was 10 and have never had an issue with any of them. They know they are loved and cared for! Currently I’m between jobs so I have a good and open schedule to care for your animals. I love animals and have a lot of fun playing with them and walking them! We have a fence at my house that allows my dog at home to have a wide open space for playing and exploring. He also receives many bones for good behavior throughout the day.
“Greg was really great with our three cats! He took care to make sure everyone was ok during his daily drop ins, and was very thorough with all of the feeding and care tasks we had for him to do. Our cats loved him, he has a good way of relating to animals of all different personalities. Would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody for daily cat care.”
About: I love animals, grew up with two dogs, and now have a rescue cat. I also volunteer at the AWA Adoption Center. I am available for dog walking and drop-in visits for any kind of pet. I am self-employed, so my schedule is flexible.
“Recently moved to the area and needed a new pet sitter. First time using Brielle and she was amazing! You can tell she truly has a love of animals and she took all my anxiety away while I was traveling leaving my pet behind. Will definitely be using her again!!”

“Danielle has been doing a great job with my 5 month old puppy. Bella comes back from daycare relaxed and happy. she takes time to make sure Bella is not eating grass or doing the things young puppies do. I would highly recommend Danielle.”
“I needed a last minute sitter for a few hours and was coming from out of town. Bri was fantastic! She was very prompt in responding to my initial outreach (late evening the night before) and was very easy to work with. She took care of Miley and shared unprompted updates of Miley and her dog Piggy playing - which was very much appreciated! I would recommend working with Bri!”

About: Pet Care Experience I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors who need a little extra love and patience. I’ve helped with walks, feeding, giving meds, and of course plenty of belly rubs and cuddle time. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. What Sets Me Apart I really take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and quirks. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn good habits, supporting an older dog who moves at a slower pace, or sticking to a routine to keep your pup comfortable, I always adjust to what your dog needs. I also pay close attention to little details—like favorite toys, treats, or special instructions—so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in caring hands. Since I work from home, I have plenty of flexibility to give your dog the attention they deserve throughout the day. I can easily step away for walks, playtime, or check-ins, and I love having the company of dogs while I work. Whether it’s sticking to a set feeding and potty schedule or adding in some extra cuddle breaks, I’m able to keep your pup’s routine consistent and stress-free. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my care, I make sure they’re in a secure and pet-friendly environment—free of hazards, with plenty of space to relax and play. I always follow your instructions closely, whether it’s diet, medication, or special routines, so your pup feels right at home. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect as I would my own. I keep doors locked, routines consistent, and make sure your dog feels safe and loved until you return. Building trust is important to me, so I provide updates, photos, and quick check-ins to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
“Shanee was a wonderful host. My Theo did not want to leave her house by the time I came to pick him up. It was so nice feeling relieved; knowing that my dog's having a good time with a good caring family while i was at work. I highly recommend! Thank you so much, Shanee & the family. I shall be back for sure.”
“Megan and her family were absolutely terrific - my dog Laverne loved it! I don’t think Laverne noticed my leaving when I dropped her off this morning. She was so happy to be there! I wasn’t entirely certain she was ready to go home either. if you were looking for a nice family atmosphere this is the sitter for you!”
About: I’m a mom to one adorable puppy (Graham) & one human baby (Jack). I work from home & have a fenced backyard. Our dog loves other dogs & misses his regular trips to the dog park (tough with a new baby!). He would love to run around with & entertain your pup all day! I grew up with 3 black labs & have had dogs ever since I was a kid! We love dogs. I’m currently on maternity leave so my schedule is completely flexible! Even when I go back to work, my day allows for multiple breaks to play with our pups, let them outside to run around & give them plenty of pets and cuddles. You pup will also have Graham to hang out with all day. I have a fenced in yard & one loving puppy to keep your baby company. I do not have a crate at our house but will happily use your crate if your pup needs it.

“I contacted Jonathan to watch my dog for a few hours while I was in the area visiting family. His response time was prompt. He was very thorough with details to ensure I had given him all the information he would need while watching my dog. His dog is delightful, & treated my dog very well when we introduced them. Jonathan’s demeanor was calm & warm, and my dog seemed to take to him immediately. His home was stunningly decorated, & comfortable. He was set up for any needs my dog might have. He lives close to a large park. He was very responsive during my dog’s stay via text & photo. I would book with him again.”
“I brought my two beagles to Stacey for a year, and she and Anthony took wonderful care of them. They were very easy to work with, and whenever my family gets another dog, we definitely plan on using Stacey again.”
About: Have cared for almost every animal you can think of! I have a lot of patience when it comes to training and caring for your pet. Am happy to send photos and keep you in the loop about what your pet is up to. I love being around animals and will make time within my schedule to provide care to yours! I take pride in my integrity and making you confident your pets needs are being met. I hope to care for your pet just as you would (except spoil them a little more). My main goal is to meet your expectations and your pets needs.
About: My love for dogs is endless. The fun dogs, the shy dogs, dogs of all ages. A very quiet home with playtime if they want it or quiet time that they need. I provide lots of enrichment and a full secure yard where they can run and play, or just sun bathe. I have been dog sitting for years and I've also been a part of a dog rescue where I've seen everything. Each one of our family members deserves love and respect and a little extra when their family is on vacation. It should be a relaxing time for our canine family too! I pride myself on the reaction of my visitors when they come back over and over!!! My schedule allows for me to give your family members all the time and attention they could ask for in my home. I am home most of the time and spend as much time as possible with our furry family members. I have a fully fenced in yard, but no one is out in the yard unattended. I also have the ability to completely separate dogs with separate exits/entrances if your dog needs special care. All dogs are able to go on couches and dog beds throughout the house and if they need their own space, I have that capability as well. The separate room has it's own tv, couch and is where I spend most of my day working. If our visitor is friendly, they are able to keep us company throughout the house. Smoke-free home.
“I highly, highly recommend Bri for a sitter. My Rosie is 3.5 lbs and was so happy to see her every morning. Bri was so loving and caring and took extra steps to make sure she was happy and felt loved. I didn't worry while I was at work because she gave me updates and sent pictures thru out the day. Thank you Bri from the bottom of my heart for the love and care Rosie received. If I come back, you will Def be my Rosie person. ❤️❤️❤️”

About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I’ve also worked extensively with equines, so I’m comfortable handling animals of all temperaments and energy levels. I’m dedicated to keeping your furry friend happy, safe, and well exercised during every walk or visit :) I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time for your pups! I am early riser but also don't mind late hours I provide loving and attentive care for pets in the comfort of your own home. I’ll make sure your furry friend gets plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime while following your routine and any special instructions. From feeding and walks to cuddles and companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I want you to have a good peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15. I’ve dealt with a range of task when it comes to pets, and have cared for animals big to small and young to old. I am extremely comfortable with pets and even have a dog and cat of my own! Since I have pets of my own, I frequently find myself walking my dog or spending one on one time with my cat. Pet care is a natural part of my day to day life! I love to give pets and make a pet feel cared for and safe. A calm environment is sometimes all an animal needs to feel loved!
About: I've personally owned and fostered several dogs, cats, and fish throughout my 24 years of life, and am very knowledgeable and experienced in handling all of their unique needs. I am very organized and detail-oriented and can guarantee that any instructions you have for your pet's care will be followed exactly as requested. I also have local vets and Petsmart on speed dial in the unlikely case of emergency. Beyond being qualified though, I truly love spending time with animals and ensuring they are as happy and healthy as can be! Some people on here are only interested in the money and do the bare minimum, but I can personally guarantee that I will go above and beyond to ensure you and your pet are happy! I work remotely, so I'm available pretty much anytime! Please check my calendar for availability prior to requesting services, I'll have it updated when I am unavailable. I promise to treat each pet like their own individual, making sure each one gets the proper love and care they deserve through long walks, scheduled food times, and endless pets!
About: I’ve pet sat for a couple years now, my most regular customer has multiple dogs, one cat, four birds, and a ton of snakes, so I’m well equipped to watch a variety of animals! Throughout my life I’ve had multiple dogs, all different breeds, German shepherds, shih tzu’s, Boston terriers, and more, so in my opinion there’s no animal too big or too small that I can’t befriend! I’m a college student but my schedule is pretty flexible outside of classes, though during school breaks I’m completely free and I do own a car so I can travel a good distance to wherever your home resides! I will not be caring for pets in my own home, but when I’m caring in your home I’m more then happy to accommodate for whatever your pet needs, such as using a leash to go potty, or getting them to take pills if need be!
About: I have taken care of dogs since 5 years ago helping friends and family when they needed help. I always had a connection with dogs and love to take care of them. I have a part-time job that gives me time to take care of pets weekdays and weekends mostly in the mornings. I can accommodate my schedule too. I make sure that all the necessities and schedules any dog has are completed before leaving, making sure the dog feels comfortable and safe are my top priorities.
“Chris was great & attentive. He showed care for my furry friend’s limitations after surgery, and took adorable photos throughout the walk! My dog returned home noticeably happy.”
About: I've taken care of pets of all kinds since I was very young, from birds to cats and lizards to dogs, being tasked to walk, care for, feed, and just generally oversee. I am also a current Pre-veterinarian undergrad, and am confident in my taught abilities to both handle and treat animals. I love working with any and all animals, and am absolutely thrilled to be working with your furry friends! I'm a fresh animal science graduate from the University of Delaware, and have a pretty flexible schedule. Inquire with what you need, and I'll let you know if the times align! I currently have a very eccentric 3 year old, and as such have experimented a lot in the safest possible options for your pets! I am super confident I can provide a safe environment where trust can be built and your pet is safe.
About: Hello! I’m an experienced, highly reliable pet sitter dedicated to giving your furry family members the absolute best care. I have over 8 years of hands-on pet sitting experience and have loved and cared for dogs and cats of every size, from tiny Chihuahuas to giant breeds, and every age, puppies, kittens to seniors. I treat every pet like they were my own. Currently, I am studying part-time for my real estate license, which means my schedule is incredibly flexible. I have plenty of open windows during the day to dedicate entirely to walking, playing with, and feeding your pets. Because my studies keep me local, you can count on me to be punctual, communicative, and completely focused on your pets’ safety and happiness. When it comes to at home care safety and fun are key. I set all my pets up for success. I keep a close eye on them and stop potentially dangerous or destructive situations before they happen. That being said accidents do happen and I make sure to clean with care.
“If you are looking for an experienced, considerate, and dedicated dog walker/sitter, then you've found your match! Gregory has provided dog walks and overnight care for our 60lb hound mix multiple times over the last few months and we couldn't be happier with the care he provides. He is incredibly communicative, provides very detailed updates after every walk (with plenty of pictures included), and has shown the utmost dedication to understanding our dog Izzy and her specific behavioral needs. We have worked with many positive reinforcement trainers in the past to address our pups over-excitability and leash reactivity and Gregory using much of the same language as these dog trainers when discussing strategies he used on his walks with Izzy to help redirect and keep her focused and safe. Our pup is very scent driven on walks which can require a lot of patience and steady redirection, and we are so grateful for how kind and gentle Gregory is when handling Izzy. We've only had one overnight experience with Gregory so far and he took great care of our home and left the house spotless! He also ensured us that he only books one overnight stay at a time to avoid any conflicts in schedule and make sure our dog has company throughout the night and to keep her safe in the event of an emergency. All that being said, you will have no regrets choosing with work with Gregory and we feel very fortunate to have found him!”
About: I have had a large, energetic yellow lab for 14 years and have taken care of various other dogs in different pet sitting jobs which have taught me how to deal with extremely hyper or unfriendly dogs and help calm them down. I recently moved home from DC after 5 years. In my job search, I am looking to petsit as I am an avid dog lover. I will be respectful of the owners home, make sure that I greet the pet and make them feel comfortable with me, and make sure that all of the pet's basic needs are met like going to the bathroom, giving them water, and giving them food.
“Lisa is a gem. She made herself available with short notice and was kind and patient with me as a new puppy parent to the rover app. Most importantly I was able to enjoy a day off without feeling guilty and worrying about leaving my puppy’s home for an extended time.”
About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs for 5+ years. I also have a small dog myself who is thirteen. I have worked with many sizes and breeds of dogs over time and am excited to help! I am currently working part time and taking some college courses. I have a lot of free time to hang out with your little dogs! I have a small dog myself and I know how important safety and care. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own!

“Took care of my dog perfectly and wrote a letter pretending it was my dog telling me what he did when he was with her. Would recommend to anyone looking to have their pet watched.”
“I highly recommend Yajaira!! She was warm and welcoming and treated my dog like he was part of her family! She communicated with me often and sent pictures!! I will definitely be using her again😊”
“Monica and Conrad are truly awesome. Leaving our puppy, kiko, over the Christmas holiday felt easy knowing he was in such caring hands. We loved the constant updates, and it was clear she got plenty of play, exercise, and even some command work. Their dog Pongo, was sweet and showed our pup around during hikes. Highly recommend.”

About: Hi, I’m Jai! I’m a passionate animal lover, certified dog groomer, and dedicated pet caregiver who believes every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved — even when they’re away from their family. 🐶✨ My journey with animals began through my 4 years in FFA (Future Farmers of America), where I gained hands-on experience with animal care, responsibility, and proper handling. I also have experience working on a farm, which helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior, patience, safety, and the importance of providing consistent care. Throughout high school, I completed 4 years of agriculture classes, including animal science and anatomy studies, which helped me better understand animal health, body structure, and overall well-being. Along with my dog grooming certification, I have built a strong foundation in caring for dogs and understanding their individual needs. I am also continuing my education with the goal of opening my own affordable, high-quality dog care facility, where every pet can receive loving, dependable care without families having to worry about the cost. My passion is creating a place where dogs feel at home and owners feel confident knowing their pets are in caring hands. I understand that every dog is unique. Whether your pup is a playful adventurer, a shy sweetheart, a senior needing extra patience, or a cuddle-loving companion, I take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel comfortable. When your dog is in my care, you can expect: 🐾 Safe, reliable, and personalized attention 🐾 Plenty of playtime, enrichment, and affection 🐾 Walks and activities based on your dog’s energy level 🐾 Grooming knowledge and attention to their comfort 🐾 Regular updates and photos so you can stay connected 🐾 A patient, caring, and responsible environment Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something I’m passionate about and continue to build my future around. I would love the opportunity to meet your furry family member and provide them with the same love, patience, and care I would want for my own. 🐕💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom because I’m already dedicated to creating a structured, safe, and loving environment. My days are built around routines, responsibility, and making sure everyone’s needs are met — including my furry guests. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care throughout the day, including walks, playtime, feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. One of the things that makes my home special is my 4 acres of outdoor space where dogs can enjoy supervised playtime, exercise, and exploring. My property includes a walking trail, a river area, and an invisible fence system that helps provide an added layer of security while they enjoy the outdoors. Safety is always my top priority, and I make sure every pup is comfortable and cared for during outdoor activities. I love creating a home-away-from-home experience where dogs can relax, have fun, and receive personalized attention. Between my animal care background, grooming experience, and love for dogs, I’m committed to giving each pet the patience, care, and affection they deserve. I want owners to feel confident knowing their furry family members are in a safe, loving, and attentive environment. 🐾 When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every dog feels like part of the family. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and individual needs so I can provide personalized care. My daily routine allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, including regular potty breaks, meals on schedule, playtime, exercise, enrichment activities, and lots of affection. I have 4 acres of outdoor space where dogs can enjoy supervised adventures, including a trail for walks, open areas to play, and access to nature while being protected by an invisible fence system for added security. I understand that every dog is different, so I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, comfort preferences, and daily habits. My background as a certified dog groomer, along with my experience through FFA, agriculture classes, and working on a farm, has helped me understand animal behavior, safe handling, and the importance of patience and proper care. My goal is to provide a home-away-from-home experience where pets feel happy, relaxed, and loved while their owners have peace of mind knowing they are receiving dependable, attentive care. 🐾If a pet is crate-trained or an owner requests it, I can comfortably use crates for rest periods, meals, or bedtime to help maintain their normal routine. Throughout the day, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection, and I work to keep their schedules as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease while away from home.
“Brijana is the best! This was our first time leaving our pup, Tofu, with a sitter and we were super nervous. We knew Tofu was in great hands with Brijana! She kept us updated every day with texts and photos and was very patient when our little Tofu was potty-shy. She keeps the doggies in spaces where they will be comfortable and safe but also provides them the opportunity to play with the other doggies that are staying with her as well. I will absolutely book with her any time we need a sitter again. Thanks Brijana!”
“Hands down the most amazing sitter! The pictures and videos sent showed how loved my baby was. So much so when I came to pick her up. She greeted me and went right back into their home. Will 100% book with her again and highly recommend”
“Chris treated our dogs like they were his own. He sent me multiple pictures during their stay that helped ease my mind while away. Our dogs returned home happy and healthy after being with Chris. I would definitely trust him with my dogs again. Highly recommend!”
“Cindy was very flexible with scheduling and allowing Duke to have a meet and greet prior to our scheduled boarding. Cindy also shared photos and videos during the stay.”
“Christine and her husband are wonderful people. I had no doubt my dog was in good hands when I dropped her off. She communicated with me throughout my dog’s stay and responded quickly. She also sent me pictures and videos daily. Her husband even helped me bring the crate and bag to my car when I picked my dog up seeing that I was by myself and would have a hard time carrying it all. Very nice people :)”
“Alison was great with our dog Maggie! She took great care of her, kept her on her normal schedule, and showered her with attention and walks! Alison kept us updated during Maggie’s stay with texts and pictures. We felt very at ease knowing Maggie was so lovingly cared for while we were away!”
“Annette and Martin are wonderful! My dog Riley isn't great with strangers but they were so gentle with her and let her come to them as she wished. Their place has a great set up for dogs. I was so thankful that they were super flexible and agreed to keep Riley an extra night at short notice. Most importantly, they really calmed my fears of leaving Riley by sending texts and uploading so many pics and videos to Facebook. That really made leaving her so much more comfortable for me. They are wonderful sitters.”
“This is the 2nd time my dog Ace has stayed with Kevin & Vanessa. They are great! I love receiving daily pics and updates on how Ace is doing. Thank you Kevin & Vanessa for taking good care of him! 😀”
“Megan was great and kept us updated through the entire stay! We have used other dog sitters but I can confidently say we have finally found a keeper! I have never felt more comfortable leaving my fur baby…her and her family are very sweet! I could tell my pup enjoyed her stay, she came back clean and very well cared for. Thank you again Megan, we will definitely see you in the future!❤️”
