Whitney and Kevin were wonderful! They were great communicators and sent multiple picture updates throughout my dogs stay with them. It was clear that they took great care of him and he looked so happy in all of the photos they sent. I will absolutely use them again in the future!

Kirsten was amazing. My girls felt right at home & were well taken care of. I couldn't have asked for better communication while the dogs were in her care & she went above & beyond take sure the girls were comfortable & their needs were met. If she could travel with us as a full time dog sitter, I would take her without hesitation. By far the best experience I have ever had when seeking care for my dogs!

Nicole was a lifesaver! After getting over booked at a kennel during Cooperstown Baseball season, she came to my rescue. Great communication, flexible, easy to work with, updated me with pictures and she even trimmed my puppy nails. Highly recommend her.

Gilbert was fantastic with Chance. I received at least daily pictures and updates on how Chance was doing. Gilbert also dropped in to take care of my cat while we were away and did a wonderful job with him too. I appreciate everything Gilbert did and would not hesitate to hire him again. He is the BEST! Thank you Gilbert…. Until next time! 😁😁

Cassandra was amazing with my Sophia who is an older dog with a few senior issues. We were kept in the loop every day on how she was adjusting to her new sitter ( including pictures) and that made me feel confident we made a great choice. I would hope Cassandra will agree to watch Sophia again when she needs boarding. Anne

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from cats & dogs to fluffy chinchillas! I have special experience working with powerful breeds, including retired and aspiring K9s, as well as senior & special needs pets. My home comes equipped with accessiblity tools like pet stairs & ramps suitable for even larger dogs. Our quarter acre is unfenced, but we do have a small enclosed area off the porch & several long leads to enjoy more of the grassy lawn. Safety is paramount. I’m comfortable giving medication, following specialized diets, & assisting with mobility issues. I’m an experienced pet parent who just said goodbye to my 17 year old rescue pitbull; I’d like to open my now-too-quiet home to your beloved family members. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ friendly ❤️ I’m a professional writer who works exclusively from home. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to any specific needs, take all the potty breaks, and ensure both enriching play & restorative snuggles. And treats, of course! I have a fenced potty area off my porch for easy quick breaks, and several long leads for exploring the unfenced portions of the property. My senior dog recently passed away but she left soft beds in every room, jars of treats, and a big basket of toys I know she’d love to share.

I am so sorry this is so delayed! I had a lot of life catch up after our vacaction, which was completely relaxing becasue I had zero concerns with the well being of my dog because Melissa was AMAZING. She was super welcoming and understanding that it was our first time leaving our pup and using Rover! She is super professional and caring and took care of everything (she had a crate for us!) She has love for dogs and I would absolutely recommend her and have our pup stay again! The best.

I am also available to stop daily if you're going to be late from work or have a meeting. If you have any questions please ask! I am willing to work with any schedule! I am able to come 3 times daily during the week and 4 times on weekends. This is working around my full time job at the veterinary clinic.

About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of different dogs. Parents, friends and family have asked me to care for them while they’re gone. My childhood dog was boxer so have a lot of experience with that breed and I have a pit bull terrier of my own. I am currently home full time, so I’ll have a lot of free time to play and care for your fur babies. Considering I have lots of free time having a dog or a couple dogs to care for isn’t a problem for! I love all animals and treat them like my own! I have a partially fenced yard and a long 100+ ft chain that I could clip onto your dogs collar so they can roam around without getting lose/ running away, they will have their own food and water bowls and be taken out as needed. If your dog needs to be in a crate I have two at home that I could use. I also have a pup of my own that your dog can play with.

About: Quality pet care, mixed with love, exercise, fun, and safety. That is what I'm all about. I have loved pets since was younger, and first started working with pets as a pet sitter/dog walker. I loved getting to know fur babies and what makes them happiest. I like bringing new buddies home for Lui and mostly I like helping people have a little more time by taking amazing care of their loved ones while at work. I'm happiest when I'm with my pup Lui. He's soon to be 2 years old and still is my spoiled little boy. The love I have for Lui is the love your baby will get when booking with me. We go on walks, we learn new tricks, and get lots of exercise! The more energy the better! I've also had experience dealing with pets with anxiety or aggressive tendencies. Not new to taking my time to build trust and offering a separate space to a dog who needs it. I have cameras in my house offer peace of mind that your loved one is safe & see all the fun we have when indoors, like TV time or tug of war. It's always a fun time and I'm always here for it. I organize my schedule mostly to work with pets full time, my work occupies me from 4 AM to about noon and work 5 minutes from my house with liberty to stop in at any point. Most days I am here through the mornings too so your furry loved ones get undivided attention. I only book dogs in time blocks of 5 hours, so I am never over crowded when it comes to boarding or day care. I like to be sure each pet is taken care of personally and effectively. Pet-Sitting: Often this service for me changes based on owner preference. It requires more in depth detail about the home life of the pet. One reason for this is to ensure I am not interrupting any routines the pet may have. Boarding & Day Care: I treat all pets as if they were my very best friend. We have tv time together (Dog TV), we go on two 30 minute walks within the 5 hour time block. We even eat meals together. Being that my yard is unfenced I personally walk the dogs on leash for 30-45 minutes. Meals for pets are based on owner specifications. Overnight boarding being different in a sense of they get one night walk before bed time/wind down time. They are uncrated (unless the owner specifies to do so), so they have full use of the living area and pets are allowed to be on the furniture purchased for them (Although I am not new to waking up and them being on the couch!)

I can’t thank Gil enough for the attentiveness, caring, and love he showed to my 15 yr old dachshund! Gil took the time to listen to my wife and me when we described to him our pup’s tendencies and hinderances. We felt confident as we pulled out of the driveway that our old guy was in great hands! Gil made sure to send us photos of our pup throughout the day, as well as updates on its evacuations (very important for an older dog). Overall, I can say unequivocally that Gil was a perfect sitter for our elderly pup, and I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter in that area! Kudos, Gil!

About: I have over 7 years of hands-on animal care experience, including running my own dog walking business for 2 years and ongoing work in farm animal rescue. I had two dogs of my own for over 15 years and have cared for many rescue dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and especially comfortable with shy, nervous, or high-energy dogs. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine while they’re in my care. I do have cats in my home, so dogs staying with me should be cat-friendly. References are available upon request. “Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I work part-time overnight, which means I’m home and available throughout the day for walks, supervision, and consistent care. I also run a nonprofit animal rescue from my home, so caring for animals is something I’m actively doing every day. My routine is built around feeding schedules, exercise, cleaning, and making sure each animal gets individual attention. Because of this, I’m very used to managing different needs while keeping a calm, structured environment.” depends on each pet’s routine and comfort level, but I always aim to keep things as consistent and low-stress as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with regular feeding schedules, exercise, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. Dogs get daily walks, enrichment, and individual attention. I take introductions slowly and make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed—while also keeping your home clean and respected. I pay attention to behavior and body language and adjust care based on what each pet needs. My goal is always to make pets feel secure and well cared for, whether they’re in my home or staying in theirs

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from cats & dogs to fluffy chinchillas! I have special experience working with powerful breeds, including retired and aspiring K9s, as well as senior & special needs pets. My home comes equipped with accessiblity tools like pet stairs & ramps suitable for even larger dogs. Our quarter acre is unfenced, but we do have a small enclosed area off the porch & several long leads to enjoy more of the grassy lawn. Safety is paramount. I’m comfortable giving medication, following specialized diets, & assisting with mobility issues. I’m an experienced pet parent who just said goodbye to my 17 year old rescue pitbull; I’d like to open my now-too-quiet home to your beloved family members. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ friendly ❤️ I’m a professional writer who works exclusively from home. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to any specific needs, take all the potty breaks, and ensure both enriching play & restorative snuggles. And treats, of course! I have a fenced potty area off my porch for easy quick breaks, and several long leads for exploring the unfenced portions of the property. My senior dog recently passed away but she left soft beds in every room, jars of treats, and a big basket of toys I know she’d love to share.

About: My family and I love animals. I grew up on a farm. With that being said, I know the value of caring for animals and have a good work ethic. Along with my family we have helped raise 3 guiding eyes for the blind dogs. We have raised 3 dogs of our very own, along with rabbits, Guinea pigs, chickens and a few other pets. I will care for your pets as our own. I will play with them. I will take them on walks. I will follow your instructions. I will crate your animal as needed. I can care for a puppy, a small dog, a big dog, an energetic dog. and elder dog or somewhere in between. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I do work M-F. but my family and I work together to care for your pet. We will make sure they go out often, and are played with every day. I do not have a fenced in yard. We walk dogs on a leash, we have plenty of land to do this. We take the dogs out often, and play with them as well. *** If I am watching a pet in your home, I require you to tell me if you have cameras in or outside your home.

About: I’ve had animals since I could walk. They have always been a part of my life. I worked at an animal shelter for a few years, working with dogs, cats, horses, and even goats. I bathed dogs, took them on walks, and even administered medicine when needed. I am currently a stay-at-home mom so I have a ton of time to spend caring and playing with your furry friends! My daughter loves animals as well and treats them with respect! I have big yard with tons of space for your dogs to roam! If you would like, I have space for their crates as well.

Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion. I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.

Kirsten was amazing. My girls felt right at home & were well taken care of. I couldn't have asked for better communication while the dogs were in her care & she went above & beyond take sure the girls were comfortable & their needs were met. If she could travel with us as a full time dog sitter, I would take her without hesitation. By far the best experience I have ever had when seeking care for my dogs!

Cassandra was amazing with my Sophia who is an older dog with a few senior issues. We were kept in the loop every day on how she was adjusting to her new sitter ( including pictures) and that made me feel confident we made a great choice. I would hope Cassandra will agree to watch Sophia again when she needs boarding. Anne

She was super welcoming and understanding that it was our first time leaving our pup and using Rover! She is super professional and caring and took care of everything (she had a crate for us!) She has love for dogs and I would absolutely recommend her and have our pup stay again! The best.
