Highly-rated overnight sitters - Vado
“We had never left our pup with a “sitter” until we had to leave for a week to a place where we couldn’t take her. Sarah is the most amazing dog lover!!! Molly was so happy with her!! Sarah sent pictures regularly and Molly was more spoiled there than at home! We will never take her back to a kennel and every time, we can’t take her, she will be with Sarah!! It was so nice not to have to worry about her while we travelled!!”
“Megan did a great job with our retriever. We got nice pics and videos daily letting us know how Tali was doing. I think our pup really enjoyed playing with Megan’s kids also. Highly recommend Megan for boarding or daycare!”
“Isabel is truly incredible!!! She sends pictures daily and we can feel her love of our dog when we leave him with her! I can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our dog!”
“Morgan - Responds quickly and does an excellent job of providing daily updates about my dog. I enjoyed my trip stress-free, knowing that my pet was in good hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the region seeking for a dependable and trustworthy individual to walk or care for their pets.”
“Guillermo (Bill) is terrific! Virtually instant communication, photos everyday, a great home and yard, and most important, loving care. Guinness, our 120# Otterhound, was clearly well cared for and comfortable for a 3 week stay. There is nothing more we could have hope for. We would recommend Guillermo to anyone without reservation. We know Guinness will look forward to his next visit.”
“Erika and her family were very welcoming! Her daily photos and videos were helpful and gave us reassurance while we were away - plus, it was great to see our dog playing with other dogs. I highly recommend her care.”

“Rex and Racer enjoyed their time staying with Leo and his fiance while we were out of town for the weekend. It's always hard leaving them behind on family trips as they are a big part of what makes us whole. However, Leo was very accommodating and flexible with drop off and pick up, and even made time to do a meet and greet. His sweet pup is so welcoming and welcomed our pups into their home without any issues. He definitely put my mind at ease and was very communicative their entire stay. He shared pictures and videos daily and took the time to take them for their oh so loved walks. Thank you Leo!!! Truly appreciate your help and will use you in the future as well.”
“Gabriela was amazing with my beloved fur baby she’s amazing and very caring with pets i would definitely trust her to take care of him again she also provided me with loads of pictures and updates very respectful and responsable im very pleased for my first time having a sitter would give her 10⭐️s if i could! definitely the person to go to!!”
“She was so sweet and gentle with Winter, and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day. I could tell Winter felt comfortable and happy around her. I really appreciated how caring and reliable she was — it gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Definitely would book again! 💕”
“Cheryl and her place is the best place to board your dogs. She is a dog trainer and it is very apparent that her and her son love animals. When I took my doggy, Muffin, the second time and she realized where she was at, she got so excited and that told me A LOT! I highly recommend Cheryl for boarding or daycare.”
“Caitlin did an amazing job caring for my pups. She provided consistent photos and videos of my babies having fun on her land getting along with her pups too. I will definitely have my pups stay with Caitlin again with 100% trust that she will care for them as if they were her own.”
“These girls were so kind and accommodating. They sent me updates of all the fun activities they were doing with my dog and it was truly amazing to see how much fun he was having with them. They completely took the guilt of traveling and leaving my pup behind.”
“Natalie was absolutely wonderful, and it’s very clear how much love she has for the dogs entrusted in her care. Our normal pet sitter was out of town, and we were nervous to leave our dog, Teddy, with someone new. However, we did a meet and greet beforehand, and Natalie was so reassuring and put our worries at ease. She encouraged me to share any details about Teddy’s normal routine, and very receptive to any questions or concerns I had. During Teddy’s stay, Natalie was a great communicator. She sent many photos and videos and gave us updates everyday. She has a great backyard for the dogs, but also made sure the dogs didn’t get overheated in the summer heat which was a big concern of mine. Natalie also had so many new and fun nylon bones for the dogs which Teddy looooooved! Our Teddy also got along so well with her dog, Oreo. They were inseparable during her stay, and played so much together. Overall Teddy had a great time there! I would 100% recommend Natalie to anyone in need of boarding or doggy daycare, and I intend to use her services again in the future.”
About: Animals have been a central part of my life for more than 30 years. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and I am a Certified Animal Cruelty Investigator through my previous professional work. I also spent over 10 years involved in animal rescue, where I gained invaluable hands-on experience caring for animals with a wide variety of needs, temperaments, and backgrounds. Now retired and home full-time, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable, and loving care for your pets. I understand that pets are cherished family members, and I treat every animal in my care with the same kindness, patience, and respect that I would want for my own. Whether your pet needs companionship, exercise, special attention, or simply a caring presence while you're away, you can feel confident knowing they are in experienced and compassionate hands. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets and providing them with exceptional care and attention. I am retired. Home most of the time. I have a super flexible schedule. I am an outdoor person. I love taking the pups for a walk to the river. I like to have a good routine with my pets. In the summer we get up early to go for a walk before the sun get's too warm. I have a nice fenced yard with shade. We can spend plenty outside. If I am at your home, I will follow your detailed schedule.
“Such a blessing to have come across Leo's profile. I couldn't be happier to have used his services. Our dogs trusted in him right away, and they enjoyed having his and his wife's undivided attention! Thank you so very much for your flexibility and constant updates. The pictures and videos were so appreciated. You truly put my mind and heart at ease. Racer and Rex know good people and will definitely be visiting again soon. From the bottom of my heart thank you for being so amazing and welcoming!”

About: Hi! My name is Andrea, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with texperience caring for many different kinds of pets. I currently have two dogs and three cats of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I’ve had pets throughout my entire life and have spent several years pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just hanging out, I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m experienced in administering different types of medications to cats and understand the patience and gentle approach it takes to make the process as stress-free as possible for our furry friends. I’m also happy to follow any specific care instructions to ensure your pet receives the attention they need. I’m currently a masters student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I know it can be super hard to be away from those we love and that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, so I’m committed to following your instructions carefully to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets!
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of my cats and the garden. The cats are happy and the garden looks great! Also, thank you for the extra above and beyond cleaning of the cat area.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old and have experience with pets of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I’ve assisted with whelping litters, ensuring each puppy gained weight appropriately, met all nutritional requirements, and received attentive care during their earliest stages of life. I also helped with early potty training, socialization, and sensory enrichment to support healthy development. In addition, I have experience caring for elderly pets by providing gentle, patient care, administering medications when needed, monitoring their comfort, and adapting to their changing needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pride myself on providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care. I am a stay at home dog and cat mom so I’m available any time and any day to look after your fur babies when needed. I am more comfortable with taking care of your fur babies from your home just because I do have a senior Great Dane who is not the friendliest toward other doggies.
“Allison did a great job! She was sweet, kind, and had no problem dealing with my outdoor cats. This was the first time I had to use someone other than friends or family to feed them & the experience went great.”
“Tommie was great! She was very easy to arrange a meeting time with. I was very happy with her because she actually spent the time with my cats instead of just scooping the litter and leaving. She played with them, put on the kitty TV for them, and sent me loads of pictures. She put me at ease when I was away from my babies for several days.”
About: "With years of experience caring for a variety of animals, I'm a responsible and compassionate pre-vet student eager to provide top-notch pet sitting services. From dogs and cats to birds and reptiles, I'm comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes. Trust me to give your furry, scaly, or feathered friend the love and attention they deserve while you're away." I am available most days let me know your schedule and I will try and work on a solution for both of us. I have class from 9am- 12pm but I am able to work before or after class. I have many pets, no pet is to small or to big. I have worked with dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, birds, and I am willing to care for any pet you call family.
About: In 2020 I adopted my void kitty, Momo and have always lived with a minimum of one cat in my household ever since, whether they belonged to roomies or friends who couldn’t have pets. Every cat has his or her own personality and routine, and I understand the importance of having someone detail-oriented and understanding to care for pets.
About: Growing up with pets instilled a love for all animals. I adopted my first cat 21 years ago and loved her-she was family. We now have a multi cat and dog house and would love to help take care of your family fur-babies!
About: I grew up on a farm just outside of hutch, so we had a large variety of animals, including but not limited to cats, dogs, and even a tortise at one point! I’d love to help meet all your needs and your animals needs in anyway possible! I recently moved to new mexico, but i am at home all day everyday! I am currently a travel nurse, but I am home a lot with my schedule, so my 5 cats and 1 dog, all are fully vaccinated get a lot of one on one time. But I love taking care of animals so that’s why I’m doing this. It fits really well into my ever changing routine. I currently live in a 56 foot Sanibel camper, but it is a pet friendly camper. My 5 cats Jezabell, Bogey, Penner, Don Julio, and Eve are very friendly and easy to get along with. They have free range food, as i tried to limit it and it just wasn’t working for them so Im trying this and it seems to work very well for them. They also have whatever they could ever want in water and toys, and I clean their litter boxes at least once a day to make them happier :) Ripley goes on walks morning and night, and is out of her kennel all day with me most days. But she is crate trained and very respectful but also playful!
About: Experienced in taking care of ill and healthy dogs, they are like children to me. I seem to have a knack for homeless dogs, they trust me, they come to me - they know when someone means well. I have never found a dog that I was afraid of. Very experienced at administering medication. I work part-time and schedule myself so if I have reservations for Rover I can work around my other schedule. I am available days, early evenings and weekends. Currently have a dog with cancer, I show dogs lots of love, hugs, playtime to make their life as special as possible when they are with me. I am very experienced at administering medication.
About: I’ve gained hands on experience working with cats in a veterinary clinic, where I assist with handling, monitoring, and daily care. I regularly work with cats of all temperaments from friendly and social to shy or more sensitive cats that need a calm, patient approach. I also help care for boarding cats at the clinic, where I’m responsible for maintaining their routines, keeping their spaces clean, monitoring their behavior, and ensuring medications are administered accurately and on schedule. This has given me strong experience working with cats in both medical and boarding environments, especially those who may be stressed or away from home. Outside of the clinic, I focus on creating a comfortable, low-stress environment where cats can feel safe and stick to their normal routines.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Vado
“Sarah was wonderful to work with! I’m from out of town and needed help to watch my dog while I attended a function. Sarah was so communicative. Her yard and home are a wonderfully homey set up and all the dogs she had there when we dropped ours off were happy and playful. Sarah’s son was a greater helper! I wish they lived closer to where we live so we could work with her more. She was a lifesaver! We will be sure to return when we visit again!”
About: Hey pet owners! As someone who has never experienced life without a furry family member, I know just how much each and every one of you care for and love your pets. I grew up with a Dalmatian, he was in my life from birth until I was 11. During some of that time my family and I had seven cats - our two adoptive cats had 5 kittens - as well as an array of birds and fish. I now have my own pup and three cats so plenty of experience and would of course treat your pet as if it was my own. At the moment my schedule is very open. I do my best to adhere to my personal rule of not to leave the pets I care for for more than 4 hours at a time when in my care. If in my home, I do not leave the pets alone with mine until they have been supervised for a significant amount of time and have shown me that they get along. I also have two roommates, and I can almost guarantee that there will be someone home at nearly all times. In a clients home I try to make the environment and activities as normal for them as I can. But if you believe that when I’m with them it should be a treat for them I’m happy to take them on exciting new walks, check out new parks (for dogs) and spend time playing with them and giving them all of my attention.
“Diana provided excellent care for our 2 Whippets! My dogs are needy and clingy- and I was worried about how they would adapt. Diana kept them happy and entertained- they were so happy with her! I am extremely pleased and look forward to many future stays. I am confident and secure leaving my precious family members with Diana🥰”
“Megan and her kids were the perfect family to take care of Lucy..! Very warm welcome and gracious host in all dynamics…wouid not hesitate to recommend and book in the future…!”

“My two Girls, Sofia and Carlie spent this past Sunday with Desiree and her family. Desiree always sends pics and updates throughout their stay and by the looks of the pics, my "Girl's' again felt relaxed and at home. It's comforting knowing my Girl's have a happy and secure place to stay.”
“Bella had an amazing time! She is worn out from her walks and play. Kathryn is amazing, really cares about the pups she keeps and keeps you updated throughout the day with plenty photos and videos 🥹. 10/10 would definitely recommend.”

“Cheryl was so good with Junior. He is big dog boy. He recognized who was in charged. Her son Aiden took Junior under his wing. I highly recommend Cheryl and Aiden. I don't think I'll ever use anyone else. Junior is definitely a handful of feels an inkling of fear he takes advantage. Cheryl has a lot of experience with dogs that was apparent from the start. Gentle yet firm. Thank you.”
“Jasmine was PHENOMENAL with my young energetic blue heeler. She kept me updated with photos and videos and really put my mind at ease. I truly appreciated the approach she took when introducing my dog to her six dogs. She let him come in, sniff the space and meet each dog individually. That is so important and really set up my dog for success during his time with Jasmine. She was so flexible with pick up times and kind. Cannot recommend Jasmine enough!”

I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for regular check-ins, walks, playtime, and overnight stays. Since I’m able to bring my schoolwork with me, I can comfortably spend extended time in your home while still keeping up with my studies and, most importantly, providing your pets with companionship and care. The safety and comfort of your pets is my top priority. When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to follow their normal routines and your specific instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would want someone to show my own home and pets.
“Allison is sweet and very kind. We felt comfortable with her and her communications. She followed our instructions for our dog (considerations for the heat, misting her down, checking her food and water, where to take her) and we know Gypsy was well taken care of. Recommend her and we'll book her again when we're back in the area.”

About: I’ve had numerous experiences with all kinds of animals. I’m a Retired RN and can give injections/meds to your sick/senior babies. I have lots of time to spend taking care of your babies. I retired this year and that allows me to be available 24/7. Also weekends and holidays are not a problem. Medical Care not an issue. I am available to stay overnight in your home if needed. I currently have 2 cats both Seniors and 2 dogs. I spoil them rotten as they should be.
About: I provide an safe haven for all my fury and non-fury friends. I provide an clean safe space and make sure all is provided for all my fury friends. One of my first job was house-sitting and taking care of necessities around the house as well as the owner's pets. I not only clean and help around the house but I also make sure the dogs are fed, getting in their exercise and etc. I also take them on walks and make sure they are comfortable with me first, because dogs can sense if people are actually decent and kind beings. I have always been around animals my entire life and would not mind getting a little dirty and fun with them. It's no fun when your always clean at least for a dog's point of view. Loll
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals at every stage of life. I don’t just “watch” pets — I care for them as if they were my own. I understand that each animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I have experience working with both young and senior pets. With puppies and young dogs, I am patient and consistent with basic training reinforcement, including potty routines, leash manners, and positive behavior habits. I know how important structure is during those early months, and I make sure to maintain the routine you’ve established. For senior pets, I provide gentle, attentive care and closely monitor mobility, medication schedules, and comfort needs. I understand that older animals often need extra patience, slower walks, and more frequent check-ins, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications if needed.
About: I have watched a large pack of dogs (13) at one point. I have my own dog to take care of. I've also watched my neighbors blue heeler and my aunts dogs and cats while she was away. Dogs seem to naturally gravitate towards me. I work part time at a hotel and I just recently graduated college. My husband and I are fixing to move and I figured this would be a good way to make a little bit of side money to help cover this move. I have my own 3 year old dog. He is amazing but can be a little wild. I have also looked after my neighbors dog and took care of my family friends dogs.

About: I have been dog and cat walking and sitting since the age of 11. Sometimes as my full time job and sometimes as a way to make some extra cash. I absolutely love all fur babies of every size, breed, and age! I am not assuaged by the more aggressive and/or larger dog breeds. I have experience caring for pitbulls, boxers, huskies, golden retrievers, labradors, collies, and hounds, as well as various smaller breeds. I have pet sat for both dogs and cats from ages 2-months to super seniors! I love them all! I am not currently a pet mom to any cats or dogs, but I have been in the past and my partner and I are the pet parents to a feisty bearded dragon, one adorable turtle, two silly toads, one lazy pac-man frog, one chill beta fish, and a tank of four high-energy salt-water fish! 😊 We recently laid to rest Pixie our hamster, Lucy our ferret, and Anthony our saltwater eel. Lucy and Anthony were in our lives for 7+ years 😢 I will treat all of your fur babies like they are my own! I originally signed up on Rover as a way to make ends meet while putting myself through Nursing school; and although I have since accepted a job as a full-time nurse, I decided to continue Rover on the side. I also regularly volunteer at Memorial Medical Center as an Auxillain. Aside from these two commitments my schedule is pretty open. I unlisted myself from house sitting; however, I may be able to house sit for you in 3 to 4-day stretches, so if this is all you need please reach out to me. Unfortunately, I cannot house any pets in my home either overnight or during the day due to restrictions set forth by my apartment complex; however, I am free to pet sit overnight or during the day in your home (in 3 to 4-day stretches). I have found this is normally less jarring for your fur babies anyway. I am also free to dog/cat walk either on a regular basis or sporadically. The needs of your pet will be taken into account on an individual basis. If you have a question about my experience or ability to perform a specific aspect of your pets care, please just ask. *I am willing to negotiate rates*

About: I just love animals just like everyone else and am looking to help out. I’ve cared for animals the majority of my life as my parents had that responsibility put on me, I’ve house sit animals plenty times before. I’m available pretty much always, I’m taking the summer to rest as I am a very busy college student but I need something to keep me busy. I don’t have the most optimal space to care for a pet at my place but at your place I am very flexible and willing to accommodate as needed.
“Emily was absolutely incredible. She was able to accommodate Malbec and I last minute. She was very nice and professional and my favorite was the fact that she kept updating me and sending pics. My boy was very happy and was so well taken care of. She went above and beyond making sure he had all he need at home before she left. I definitely recommend her to take care of any of your fur guys. Will definitely be using her again.”

About: Hi! I’m currently in school studying veterinary care, and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’ve been surrounded by pets since the day I was born—from dogs and cats to small animals—and I truly can’t imagine life without them. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of pet sitting for many friends and family members, giving me hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s going on walks, giving medication, or just providing a little extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. With my background in animal care and my education in veterinary studies, you can feel confident your pet is in safe, knowledgeable, and loving hands. I know how much your furry family members mean to you, and I’m here to give them the best care possible while you’re away! I currently work full-time, but pet care is something I genuinely love and prioritize in my free time. I’m available for early morning and evening visits during the weekdays, and I have more flexibility on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. Even with a busy schedule, I always make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, dinner-time or feeding, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after. When caring for pets, I always follow their specific routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. For dogs, I make sure they get the exercise they need with safe, enjoyable walks tailored to their energy level and comfort. I also stick closely to their feeding schedule, ensuring they get the right food, portions, and any treats or medications they may need. When pet sitting or checking in, I spend quality time with them—whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company so they never feel alone or anxious. For cats, I make sure their litter is clean, their food and water are fresh, and they have a calm environment to relax in. My goal is always to keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.
About: Animals have always been part of my life. I grew up with barn cats and have cared for dogs since childhood, giving me real experience and a natural, loving approach to pet care. I work Monday through Wednesday. I can also work Friday and Saturday if needed, and prefer to have Sundays off to maintain a balanced schedule. Currently living in a townhouse with a small fenced yard. Living with three dogs, we have 2 crates we use when all occupants are out of the house.
About: I grew up on a farm just outside of hutch, so we had a large variety of animals, including but not limited to cats, dogs, and even a tortise at one point! I’d love to help meet all your needs and your animals needs in anyway possible! I recently moved to new mexico, but i am at home all day everyday! I am currently a travel nurse, but I am home a lot with my schedule, so my 5 cats and 1 dog, all are fully vaccinated get a lot of one on one time. But I love taking care of animals so that’s why I’m doing this. It fits really well into my ever changing routine. I currently live in a 56 foot Sanibel camper, but it is a pet friendly camper. My 5 cats Jezabell, Bogey, Penner, Don Julio, and Eve are very friendly and easy to get along with. They have free range food, as i tried to limit it and it just wasn’t working for them so Im trying this and it seems to work very well for them. They also have whatever they could ever want in water and toys, and I clean their litter boxes at least once a day to make them happier :) Ripley goes on walks morning and night, and is out of her kennel all day with me most days. But she is crate trained and very respectful but also playful!

“Megan did a great job with our retriever. We got nice pics and videos daily letting us know how Tali was doing. I think our pup really enjoyed playing with Megan’s kids also. Highly recommend Megan for boarding or daycare!”
“Guillermo (Bill) is terrific! Virtually instant communication, photos everyday, a great home and yard, and most important, loving care. Guinness, our 120# Otterhound, was clearly well cared for and comfortable for a 3 week stay. There is nothing more we could have hope for. We would recommend Guillermo to anyone without reservation. We know Guinness will look forward to his next visit.”
“Erika and her family were very welcoming! Her daily photos and videos were helpful and gave us reassurance while we were away - plus, it was great to see our dog playing with other dogs. I highly recommend her care.”
“Rex and Racer enjoyed their time staying with Leo and his fiance while we were out of town for the weekend. It's always hard leaving them behind on family trips as they are a big part of what makes us whole. However, Leo was very accommodating and flexible with drop off and pick up, and even made time to do a meet and greet. His sweet pup is so welcoming and welcomed our pups into their home without any issues. He definitely put my mind at ease and was very communicative their entire stay. He shared pictures and videos daily and took the time to take them for their oh so loved walks. Thank you Leo!!! Truly appreciate your help and will use you in the future as well.”
“She was so sweet and gentle with Winter, and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day. I could tell Winter felt comfortable and happy around her. I really appreciated how caring and reliable she was — it gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Definitely would book again! 💕”
“Cheryl and her place is the best place to board your dogs. She is a dog trainer and it is very apparent that her and her son love animals. When I took my doggy, Muffin, the second time and she realized where she was at, she got so excited and that told me A LOT! I highly recommend Cheryl for boarding or daycare.”
“Caitlin did an amazing job caring for my pups. She provided consistent photos and videos of my babies having fun on her land getting along with her pups too. I will definitely have my pups stay with Caitlin again with 100% trust that she will care for them as if they were her own.”
“These girls were so kind and accommodating. They sent me updates of all the fun activities they were doing with my dog and it was truly amazing to see how much fun he was having with them. They completely took the guilt of traveling and leaving my pup behind.”
“Natalie was absolutely wonderful, and it’s very clear how much love she has for the dogs entrusted in her care. Our normal pet sitter was out of town, and we were nervous to leave our dog, Teddy, with someone new. However, we did a meet and greet beforehand, and Natalie was so reassuring and put our worries at ease. She encouraged me to share any details about Teddy’s normal routine, and very receptive to any questions or concerns I had. During Teddy’s stay, Natalie was a great communicator. She sent many photos and videos and gave us updates everyday. She has a great backyard for the dogs, but also made sure the dogs didn’t get overheated in the summer heat which was a big concern of mine. Natalie also had so many new and fun nylon bones for the dogs which Teddy looooooved! Our Teddy also got along so well with her dog, Oreo. They were inseparable during her stay, and played so much together. Overall Teddy had a great time there! I would 100% recommend Natalie to anyone in need of boarding or doggy daycare, and I intend to use her services again in the future.”
About: Animals have been a central part of my life for more than 30 years. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and I am a Certified Animal Cruelty Investigator through my previous professional work. I also spent over 10 years involved in animal rescue, where I gained invaluable hands-on experience caring for animals with a wide variety of needs, temperaments, and backgrounds. Now retired and home full-time, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable, and loving care for your pets. I understand that pets are cherished family members, and I treat every animal in my care with the same kindness, patience, and respect that I would want for my own. Whether your pet needs companionship, exercise, special attention, or simply a caring presence while you're away, you can feel confident knowing they are in experienced and compassionate hands. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets and providing them with exceptional care and attention. I am retired. Home most of the time. I have a super flexible schedule. I am an outdoor person. I love taking the pups for a walk to the river. I like to have a good routine with my pets. In the summer we get up early to go for a walk before the sun get's too warm. I have a nice fenced yard with shade. We can spend plenty outside. If I am at your home, I will follow your detailed schedule.
“Kris and her family took very good care of Scotty, I could see in the pictures and video updates that Scotty was having a great time and was happy. I would highly recommend leaving your pup with Kris. Thank you again for looking after my furbaby.”
“Estuvo todo genial, la atención con mi pequeño Max fue abosolutamente buena, y diariamente me hacía reporte sobre cómo estaba Max y que hacía, de verdad que superó lo que yo pensaba, sin duda volveré a llamarla, gracias Chya”
“I appreciate that Alejandra was available and willing to take care of my baby for a whole week with just a one week notice. She is personable and flexible, making the intro visit a breeze. She knows how to handle meds, which is a big deal for me since my baby needs different meds twice daily. She seems to love and pamper doggies- my baby was barking at me from Alejandra's bed when I went to pick her up.... TRAICIONERA! I would definitely use Alejandra again if available.”
“Vanessa was absolutely amazing watching our two pups Oakley and Navea. She was very communicative, sent us lots of pictures and videos, and we could really tell she had a way with dogs when we first met her. I would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone wanting to travel without worry. The pups were so happy and calm when we got back home :)”
“Louisa is great as usual! Pax loves her and is always excited when he gets to stay with her for a couple of days. She makes sure to walk him and take him to the dog park and takes pictures of everything.”
About: I’ve volunteered at Safe Haven in the dog section and worked at the animal shelter in the cat section. I can do CPR on pets and know how to provide pills medication. Im currently working part time so I will be able to play with your pets. I also will be able to stay overnight and cuddle at night so that they do not feel lonely. I can also take them out on walks in the evening so that they can get their exercise and let out any excess energy. I have a fenced yard and also a designated room for them with crates so they can have their own beds. I also have extra water bowls and food bowls for them.
