Highly-rated overnight sitters - Nelson
“Daniel and Rachel were great with our dog. They have a great house with a fenced yard. Rusty got along with their dogs. Daniel and Rachel constantly sent us pictures and videos so we were happy to see him all the time. We highly recommend Daniel and Rachel.”
“Wendy was amazing with our challenging pandemic puppy. She is excellent with the dogs and I really appreciated the robust communication. I knew my dog was in great hands.”
“This was Nemo’s second stay with Susan and I could see from photos he was having a good time. He was healthy and happy after an extended stay and the chance to have other dogs to play with. I’ll definitely check with Susan next time I’m needing someone to take care of Nemo.”
“Miko had a great time with Desia. She was able to watch him last minute while we went to see family out of town. We received many pictures and videos with updates on our sweet baby which made us not stress as much about leaving him.”
“Hayley did a great job taking care of my dog. She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout his stay. Not only was she great with my pet, but also did an amazing job communicating with me especially being flexible when I needed some help. I would love her to take care of my dog again.”
“She was awesome and extra attentive since I was sending my cats off to temporary foster and their stay with her. She kept me updated on their interactions and progress in a new environment. She also sent lots of pics and allowed me the opportunity to watch them through camera footage. She was great!”
“Brittni went beyond my expectations when caring for my precious Simon! She is a very loving, dependable caregiver and provided regular daily feedback on his stay. I highly recommend her and hope to be able to book with her again in the future.”
“Brandon is such a cool person and I will definitely be a regular customer of his. He went the extra mile to help me feel confident about leaving my fur baby with him (the first time I’ve ever left my dog alone without me for an overnight stay somewhere). He has a very nice backyard area for the dogs and was excellent with communication. I felt very at ease, especially with the photo updates! Thank you, Brandon!”
“I was so pleased with my dog’s stay with this boarder. She sent me daily updates and made sure I knew Oreo was being treated with the BEST care! This was my first experience leaving Oreo with a someone outside my family and all of my insecurities went away the very first day he was there. I would highly recommend her and will definitely reach out again if I need to leave Oreo again!”
“Karma really has a way with dogs! This was our first experience boarding them, and she did a wonderful job of putting my mind at ease while taking excellent care of our three pups. She kept me updated with how the dogs were settling in, and she was very mindful of each individual dog's quirks and needs. Thank you so much Karma, I will absolutely be booking with Karma again!”
“My dog is usually shy, easily scared, and slow to warm up to new people, so I was shocked at how quickly he bonded with Deanna during the meet and greet. We’ve used drop-in sitters before, but this was our first time trying boarding, and I immediately felt confident leaving him with her. Deanna introduced him to the other dogs in such a calm, skilled, and safe way, and her dogs were so gentle that my pup seemed to adjust much more easily than I expected. When I picked him up, he looked completely relaxed, as if we hadn’t been apart at all! Which made me so happy and relieved. I would absolutely book with Deanna again. Highly recommend!”
“Alayna was super kind and responsive. Sent lots of pictures of my pup while I was gone! My dog just ran right into her house when I dropped her off, so I knew it was going to go well. I plan to utilize her services in the future!”
“Kaitlyn took amazing care of my fur babies and was able to accommodate a last minute schedule change! So thankful for her. She was also very good about sending pictures and her communication with me was excellent.”
“Samantha was exceptionally kind and generous towards my little dogs. She made sure that they received their medication‘s, were showered with love, affection, and care, even sharing a bed with them. I’m exceptionally grateful for how she was able to give them their medications every day, and my dogs looked genuinely happy to be there. She was incredibly thoughtful and punctual with communication, and went the extra mile by staging photo shoots with my dogs every day.I’m grateful to Samantha and would gladly rebook her anytime.”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
“I recently boarded my dog for 5 nights, and we had a wonderful experience from start to finish with Shayna. She’s caring, attentive, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Bowser in her hands. We received updates and could tell he was getting plenty of love, attention, and exercise. He was happy, healthy, and well cared for, which gave me peace of mind. I truly appreciate the excellent care she provided and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter. I will definitely use her again when I can afford it.”

“Allison was absolutely wonderful. She went out of her way to make sure my cats were well cared for and even offered to do little extra things like getting the mail and watering some house plants. I highly recommend Allison and will most definitely be asking her to cat sit again in the future.”
“Carrie recently helped take care of my cat while we were out of town for the weekend. She did a great job! Carrie gave us updates and sent pictures, which I greatly appreciated. She is warm, friendly, and loves animals!”

“Joel is awesome. Super nice guy, good communicator, easy to work with & has taken great care of our pup. Gives solid updates at the end of each visit. He goes above and beyond while dropping in at your house. For example - our dog got into our garbage before one visit & Joel cleaned up all the trash off the floor. We appreciate the care he takes in looking after our pup as well as our home. Definitely recommend!”
“I was away in Europe for a month, and Hayley took care of my cat with her sitting sessions, putting my worries at ease. Her communication is amazing and she was always reachable. I highly recommend Hayley and would love to work with her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Audrey, and I’m a veterinary professional who truly loves caring for animals. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, and other companion animals in a veterinary setting, which has given me hands-on experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that trust lightly. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away, whether we’re going for a walk, hanging out during a drop-in visit, or just keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m comfortable giving medications if needed, keeping an eye out for any changes in behavior or health, and sending regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with lots of patience, attention, and care. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pet and help make your time away as stress-free as possible!
About: growing up with a family dog, i’ve always looked forward to our long walks. since i've moved to care for my grandma & i can’t have a pet at my current home, i’m looking to be the dedicated adventure buddy your pup deserves! i’m an avid walker who cleans up after your pet & loves exploring local parks and trails, and i’m just as comfortable handling a brisk, high-energy trek as i am a slow, 'sniff-heavy' stroll for seniors or four legged friends who love getting distracted! HOT WEATHER: for dog-friendly clients, i am able to provide outings to low stress trips to uncrowded, pet-friendly stores/facilities for stimulation and enrichment (including a potty break outside before and after, of course!) i am also happy to walk earlier/later in the day to avoid the heat as well! i also enjoy keeping pets company in home, whether its playing with toys, using lick mats, or just spending some time together! because i work evening and overnight shifts, i have guaranteed availability every morning and midday for your dog’s routine. whether you need a recurring daily walker or a same-day visit because you’re running late, i'm local and ready to jump in! my current job is closing in a few months, so i’ll be even more available for your schedule soon :) in public, i use a short-leash grip, stay hyper-aware of our surroundings without distractions like phones/technology of any kind (aside from photos, of course!), and avoid unknown dogs to keep your pup protected. i pride myself on being a trustworthy, punctual communicator, providing frequent photo updates so you’re always in the loop. i am very confident in my ability to kennel/leash pets & i consider myself well-versed in administering medication. i am keen when reading animal stress signals, ensuring your pet feels safe and understood under my care! as of early may, i am taking dog training certification courses to better my understanding and confidence in dog training :)
About: I have had pets my whole life and lost my baby a bit ago. I know how they are family and deserve all the love. My dog was older and had a lot of health issues so I am familiar with different medication that may be needed. I’m currently in grad school for nurse anesthesia and study most days from home. I have a pretty open schedule except Thursday and Friday morning-afternoon but can be available early in the am or that evening. Happy to answer any questions. Anytime except Thursday and Friday morning and afternoons. I have online lectures so I can have open availability during the rest of the week and weekends. I would prefer to watch your loved one at your home or do day sitting/walks. My current dog is very timid and a rescue and is scared of literally everything so I don’t want to stress him out
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life rangeing in all sizes. Of my all children, four are my dogs, so I know how important it is to make sure our fury family members feel safe and well cared for while we are away. As a school bus driver i have a flexible midday schedule, so I can accommodate your dog's needs and maintain its normal daily schedule as much as possible. To help alleviate any potential stress or concerns, I provide daily updates and photos of your dog. I've found this is the most reassuring way for you to know your dog is happy and safe. I prefer to meet with all parties prior to scheduled visits, so we can go over your dog's daily routine and to get to know each other, which will help make the transition of me being there, and you being away, easier for them. I m currently working as a bus driver for a local scool, so i have most of my midday open and late afternoons open for care. I provide in home care for your pets to help relieve or minimize the stress of having your pets in a new and unfamiliar environment.
About: I can sit and board during any holiday! I am new to the site, so that is why I do not have any reviews. I try to respond in less than thirty minutes. In the evening, I usually respond within a few minutes. I walk on a daily basis personally and am used to taking dogs on walks at least a few times a day. I have worked with all different breeds and do my research on breed specifications before taking care of any animal. I have helped taken care of animals that have to receive oral and injections daily. I have taken care of all ages of animals from babies to seniors. I have owned dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. I currently do not own any animals, so that I can focus on your pets. I do usually send updates/pictures during the time your pet is with me, so that you know how they are doing I work as a nurse full time Monday through Friday. I started work usually no earlier than 745 am and am done no later than 5 pm. I have an hour long lunch break. I board on weekends so that I can be with your animal 24/7. I can dog sit throughout the week and dogs will receive a morning and evening walk as well as a lot of love and affection. I can do dog walking in the evening and if you live in the Fairlawn/Montrose area, I can do drop in visits between 12 pm-1 pm. I keep my availability up to date on this calendar as well. I live in a two bedroom apartment, but I live near a dog park I can take them to and can take them out every hour or two during the weekend if the board with me. I would take them on at least one walk minimum whether staying at my apartment or taking care of them at yours. The walks can vary from an half an hour to an hour or more depending on the dog and how your dog is feeling. I always ask their feeding schedule and an dietary restrictions. At my home, I have intellectual toys as well as just typical toys. If allowed, dogs and cats are more than welcome to sleep in bed with me. I allow animals on my furniture and have locks on cabinets to ensure they cannot get anything to harm them. I keep treats and food at my apartment. For walks, I have a hands free leash that goes around waist, so that way there is not a chance that the leash slips out of my hands.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Nelson
“Loved working with Brandon! I was a little nervous leaving my dog for the first time but Brandon let me tour the back yard, I felt like everything was secure and safe. Very responsive and I could tell my pup had a great day. She usually cries when I pick her up from grooming/vet/etc but she was super laid back today!”
“Zarina took very good care of our fur babies. Even though my pups are painfully shy, she did well with them. I appreciate her and I will ask her to watch our pups again when in town in November.”
“Karma was great! Sent plenty of pics and feedback to put us at ease! We have a very nervous little guy and she did great with understanding his needs and accommodating them”
“April took wonderful care of Hank today during his daycare stay. He is snoring as we speak from all of his fun sniffing in the yard and working on a puzzle toy. Her large fenced in yard is any dog’s dream!! We received lots of pictures and were laughing at his many doggy yoga poses. I am an anxious dog mom and I was able to relax today while away. April was wonderful with her communication and really put me at ease during our meet and greet! We would highly recommend her!”
“Sandra was a lifesaver. Accepted my emergency request at the last minute. Allowed me to pick up the dogs at an insane time of night (10:30pm). Her house is the perfect set up with a lovely fenced yard. She gets five gold stars!”
About: I have been a certified dog trainer for 15 years, a boarder/sitter for 10 years, and a foster for 2. I do what I love! Pups are my full-time job so fitting them into my lifestyle is never inconvenient. Training, boarding, daytime care, or I can host your pet's birthday party with a cake or pupcakes, decorations, and fun games! All pets that come to my home are treated like my own. We have 2 acres for plenty of play space, walks, runs, and exploring. I am a dog foster and often have dogs in my home, but am able to also have your pet/pets as the only ones if preferred!
About: Hi I’m Hayley! I have about a year of Rover experience, doing doggie drop ins and walks. A little bit about me: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs nearly my entire life. I’ve never met a cat I didn’t love! I have two super friendly poodle mixes Nova and Arlo. Not only have I taken care of cats/dogs for 20+ years, I’m also the first to volunteer to care for my friends and neighbors beloved pets. I once babysat a neighbors 30 outdoor cats! I also have experience with senior cats and dogs. My expertise with dogs are home visits, walking and fetch or playing. I have a toddler who also loves animals and will accompany me at times, so a friendly dog is a MUST. I will watch one small/medium dog at my home in Ravenna prior to meeting them to ensure they get along with my pups. I treat my pets like family members, and would love to care for yours as well! I work a flexible hybrid schedule so I’m willing to work with your schedule. I’m available for overnight doggy daycare at my home for one family friendly pup if you’re out of town. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups to keep your dog company. They love to play! I’m willing and able to crate if needed as well.
“Kelli has been watching my Australian Shepard for nearly a month now on a weekly basis for doggie daycare. She does a wonderful job playing, walking, and caring for my Ruby. She manages Rubys high energy and chaotic personality. Kelli is a great experienced sitter and I would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Susan & Kenny are amazing! They are so kind and loving. Our dog had the best play day with all his new friends. We highly recommend them and can’t wait to bring our boy back to them.”
“Our dog has gone to Zachary’s several times for doggy daycare and he loves it! Each time he comes home happy and tired from playing with his dogs. Would definitely recommend!”
“Joie did a wonderful job watching Herschel! I used her for doggy daycare while I was at work. He had such a great time with her dog Monty and playing with her kids. She also sent me pictures throughout the day. I highly recommend her!”
About: Each and every animal that I come in contact with I am respectful and calm! I love every pet like it’s my own. Each dog requires different needs and I am completely understanding and will do what it takes for the animal to be the most comfortable and relaxed it can be. I am grateful for the love animals give me and I hope that I can give them that love back. Animals are part of families and I want to provide that comfort when their families are not around! I have expierence with being around all different animals since I was very young. I have been dog sitting since I was 13 years old. I have the experience you want for your loved family member. I work at a veterinary clinic so I have experience with working with all types of breeds. Being a vet assistant I am able to provide for your pet with the knowledge and confidence it takes to take care of any pet!! I work full time at a vet clinic and love to surround myself with all types of different animals! I find comfortable and peace giving people the option to have someone love their pets as my own when they are away! Any needs that your pet may need I am more than comfortable to provide. I deal with many different species and behaviors daily at my job and would love to do whatever your pets need to be comfortable.
About: I have been caring of dogs since I was 10 and I love them so much from tiny dogs to huge dogs they are all welcomed here! Your dog with be safe and comfort with me! I currently work in HR at a local foundry, morning shifts. Flexible tho cause someone’s always at home!! Happy to work around whatever hours you need!!

About: It’s simple. I just love dogs. I love my dog. I’ve had dogs all my life. I like to walk dogs just plain and simple. I have a friendly dog now and walk it and let it outside and take care of it. He’s part of my family and fixed. I have a fenced in yard and pay a lot of attention to the animals needs. I make sure they’re happy and pay a lot of attention to animals.
About: Since being retired, I have plenty of time to help dog owners. I’m available to board, sit or walk your dog. Whatever I can do to help. I’m retired so I have the time. It helps pass the time. I lost my fur baby a few years ago after having him for 12 years. I have a fenced in yard and no current animals so each of the animals will have my undivided attention. I can gladly take care of them.
About: I have always had pets of all kinds growing up along with much love for all wildlife. Currently I have 4 cats, 2 dogs, 3 fish and many snails, and a lot of plants! My dog growing up became diabetic (also blind) and I provided him supportive care for the remaining 5 years he had (including special meals and insulin shots)! I have rescued several cats and found loving homes after getting them medical care (I always keep in touch). One of my cats was a bottle baby after finding her on the side of the road at only 3 weeks old, she is now almost 2. I also provided supportive care for my two eldest cats (11years) after their major surgeries (perineal urethrostomy and gallbladder removal). I am also in the process of obtaining my wildlife rehabilitation permit for I always seem to be brought animals to care for and I would like to do more for them than just transporting to a rehabilitator! I have a lot of room at my house which includes the finished basement area with separate rooms, a mudroom, a large fenced in backyard, and kennels if needed. I'm willing to travel to you, or care for your animals here! All my animals are friendly (successfully introduced and integrated) but if yours needs some privacy I can absolutely provide it. I'm here to help, I hope it's clear how important your fur babies would be to me! I would love to make whatever it is you need happen. I am currently a stay at home mom with my own fur babies. My day starts at 6AM when I wake up to feed and walk the dogs and check to see if the cats need anything. I would be more than happy to care for your animal(s) here or get out of the house and care for them in their home! I have a large fenced in yard, a finished basement with separate rooms, a separate mudroom, and kennels if needed! My 4 cats and 2 dogs roam the house and would love to make new friends, but if your animals are shy, we have plenty of space to accommodate. All I ask is for a clear set of instructions if caring for your pet in your home and you can expect those instructions to be carried out with love and respect for your animal(s) and property. I am also insured for pet care/housesitting through PCI.
About: Your pet is treated as my own and a family member. Your fur baby is not crated unless you request that and provide the crate. Your pet gets to go outside and run and play several times a day. I go out and encourage playing and running for exercise. When the weather permits, we walk through the field and explore along the canal. If your pet is older and doesn't want to play or explore, that's ok. I have plenty of shaded areas for them to just lounge and take a snooze while I sit with them and read. I would love to share your fur babies with you. Must provide proof of all shot records (including Kennel Cough vaccine). I insist on a meet and greet to make sure that your fur baby is going to be a good match with our family. I do not board pit bulls (or pit mixes), German Shepherds, Rottweilers it any aggressive dogs for my safety as well as my pup. I am retired. I never leave your pups alone. If I need to run to the store, my husband is here with the pups. When the pups are outside, I'm outside work them. I have a large fenced in back yard and a standard poodle that would love to play with your pup/pups and keep them company. She loves having new playmates.
“Very nice folks, couldn’t have been more confident leaving Mamabear in their care. Very nice home, and their resident dog Thor was just a gentle giant and a sweetheart. They even offered her a swim in the pool! Will definitely use again. Thanks!”

About: While growing up, I fed, watered, played with, and walked our family friends. I even picked up poop! As an adult, I've done it all, from cleaning major messes to administering meds.

Although I am also doing some volunteer work, I keep a regular schedule. I will care for your pets according to your express instructions. They will be treated as my own with as much love and concern as I can provide.

About: Hi! I’m Maria, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I’ve dedicated years of my life to. I have over 10 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace, I understand that every pet deserves care that’s tailored specifically to them. My partner and I work together as a team, which means your pets receive twice the attention, care, and reliability.

I’ve cared for everything from tiny toy breeds to giant breeds, including dogs with anxiety, high energy, special routines, and unique personalities.

When your pet stays with us or we care for them in your home, they’re treated like family. We stick to their normal routine as closely as possible because we know consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether that means long walks, endless games of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, we adjust our care to what makes your pet happiest. As pet owners ourselves, we understand how difficult it can be to trust someone with a member of your family. That’s why communication is one of our top priorities.

We want to become someone both you and your furry family member can trust for years to come.

We can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐾 One of us works full time, however the other stays at home and focuses on animals and etc. We’re always able to be flexible and accommodate everyone’s needs We always make sure to meet prior to bookings and if needed or wanted to I do like to send pictures and videos of your fur babies while in my care. I know everyone misses their little babies.

About: I have been helping my neighbors with their pets since I was a teenager and I've had two dogs of my own since I was 5.

I love my morning walks and being able to take a pup with me is a treat for me! Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule as I have lived with animals my whole life! It’s second nature. When I provide overnight stays at the client's home, I ensure that their pets receive attentive and comprehensive care. This includes feeding them according to their regular schedule, providing fresh water, and administering any necessary medications. I make it a priority to create a comfortable and safe environment for the pets, maintaining a clean living space and adhering to any specific instructions or routines provided by the owner. I am dedicated to giving them plenty of love, attention, and playtime to keep them happy and engaged. During drop-in visits, I focus on meeting the specific needs of the pets. This typically involves feeding them, refreshing their water, and taking them out for potty breaks. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding their feeding and bathroom routines, ensuring their comfort and well-being. Additionally, I am attentive to their emotional needs, offering cuddles and playtime. When it comes to dog walking, I prioritize the physical exercise and mental stimulation of the dogs. I tailor the walks to their individual energy levels and exercise requirements, providing them with an enjoyable and enriching experience. Safety is paramount, so I use appropriate leashes and ensure that the dogs are secure and under control at all times. I also pay attention to their behavior and monitor their well-being throughout the walk. Overall, my approach to pet care is personalized, attentive, and adaptable to the unique needs of each client and their beloved pets.

I always follow the owner’s instructions and routines to ensure consistency and peace of mind. I’ve worked with dogs that require extra attention, including those with medical needs or those who don’t do well around other animals. My goal is to build trust, provide dependable care, and keep your dog safe and happy while you’re away.
About: I can sit and board during any holiday! I am new to the site, so that is why I do not have any reviews. I try to respond in less than thirty minutes. In the evening, I usually respond within a few minutes. I walk on a daily basis personally and am used to taking dogs on walks at least a few times a day. I have worked with all different breeds and do my research on breed specifications before taking care of any animal. I have helped taken care of animals that have to receive oral and injections daily. I have taken care of all ages of animals from babies to seniors. I have owned dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. I currently do not own any animals, so that I can focus on your pets. I do usually send updates/pictures during the time your pet is with me, so that you know how they are doing I work as a nurse full time Monday through Friday. I started work usually no earlier than 745 am and am done no later than 5 pm. I have an hour long lunch break. I board on weekends so that I can be with your animal 24/7. I can dog sit throughout the week and dogs will receive a morning and evening walk as well as a lot of love and affection. I can do dog walking in the evening and if you live in the Fairlawn/Montrose area, I can do drop in visits between 12 pm-1 pm. I keep my availability up to date on this calendar as well. I live in a two bedroom apartment, but I live near a dog park I can take them to and can take them out every hour or two during the weekend if the board with me. I would take them on at least one walk minimum whether staying at my apartment or taking care of them at yours. The walks can vary from an half an hour to an hour or more depending on the dog and how your dog is feeling. I always ask their feeding schedule and an dietary restrictions. At my home, I have intellectual toys as well as just typical toys. If allowed, dogs and cats are more than welcome to sleep in bed with me. I allow animals on my furniture and have locks on cabinets to ensure they cannot get anything to harm them. I keep treats and food at my apartment. For walks, I have a hands free leash that goes around waist, so that way there is not a chance that the leash slips out of my hands.
About: Hi! I’m Audrey, and I’m a veterinary professional who truly loves caring for animals. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, and other companion animals in a veterinary setting, which has given me hands-on experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that trust lightly. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away, whether we’re going for a walk, hanging out during a drop-in visit, or just keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m comfortable giving medications if needed, keeping an eye out for any changes in behavior or health, and sending regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with lots of patience, attention, and care. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pet and help make your time away as stress-free as possible! I currently work full-time at a busy emergency veterinary hospital, so my schedule can vary. Weekday visits are generally the easiest for me to accommodate, while weekends can be a little more limited due to my ER shifts. That said, I’m always happy to discuss your needs and see if we can find a schedule that works for both of us. Feel free to reach out! I do my best to be as flexible as possible! Safety is always my first priority. As a Fear Free Certified veterinary professional, I use calm, gentle handling techniques to help pets feel secure and minimize stress. I’m experienced at recognizing changes in behavior, following care instructions closely, and adapting my approach to each pet’s individual needs so they can feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: I have experience with dogs, cats, bunnies, and birds. Some of the specialized care I have done is both dog and bunnies post spay surgery and senior dog care.

I’m flexible with my availability and will reflect this on my profile. Both of my dogs are crate trained and behave well together. I have other animals such as bunnies, cats and even chickens! I am confident in my abilities to take care of various types of animals. I also have experience volunteering at a local animal shelter with mainly the cats there!
About: Hi, I’m Steffi! I’m a reliable, calm, and attentive pet caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and helping them feel safe and cared for while their humans are away. I have experience with dog walking and drop-in visits, and I’m especially mindful of following routines, instructions, and each pet’s individual needs. I’m patient, observant, and respectful of both pets and homes, and I prioritize clear communication and consistency. Whether your pet needs a walk, a check-in, feeding, or some extra company, I aim to provide care that feels steady, thoughtful, and stress-free. A pup that loves hikes or extensive plays will have a great time with me. Pups that enjoy lounging in the house are also no problem :) I have a bachelor's degree in business, I have been a flight attendant, a sales specialist, and a customer service rep. I prefer to spend my time outdoors as much as possible :) I am currently self-employed and am able to have a flexible schedule. I enjoy getting outside, whether that's with a pup or on my own! I do not accept dogs in my own home, but I am available and happy to care for your pet inside of your own home.
About: I absolutely love animals and caring for them! I grew up with 2 dogs and now have 2 cats a dog and an African Grey bird. I’ve been dog sitting for years. I take pride in giving pups the best vacation of their little lives🥰 During the summer I have a very open schedule which makes it easy for me to dog sit or dog walk anytime of the day. I do go on vacation a couple times but usually not for very long, I also have a part-time job at the moment which helps for a flexible schedule to help people and their pets! I am very attentive and loving towards my pets and others I have had in my care. I love being outside and playing with dogs, as well as being responsible for their needs and what the pet owner expects of me.

“She was awesome and extra attentive since I was sending my cats off to temporary foster and their stay with her. She kept me updated on their interactions and progress in a new environment. She also sent lots of pics and allowed me the opportunity to watch them through camera footage. She was great!”

“Brandon is such a cool person and I will definitely be a regular customer of his. He went the extra mile to help me feel confident about leaving my fur baby with him (the first time I’ve ever left my dog alone without me for an overnight stay somewhere). He has a very nice backyard area for the dogs and was excellent with communication. I felt very at ease, especially with the photo updates! Thank you, Brandon!”
“Karma really has a way with dogs! This was our first experience boarding them, and she did a wonderful job of putting my mind at ease while taking excellent care of our three pups.

“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
“Isabel provided excellent care for Sundance. I highly recommend her. She made sure Sundance had plenty of exercise, even taking him to a nearby dog park on a snowy day, and treated him like part of the family. Based on regular photos shared during his stay, Sundance appeared to feel comfortable and loved.”
“Once again, Tara and Peter were super helpful accommodating Duke despite two other furry guests already scheduled for boarding. We received daily photos and couple of video updates. Duke loves the place since it is a fenced backyard where he leisurely strolls and plays. The host dog, Willow, is also very welcoming. This was our third time and we will definitely be back soon.”
“Takia was very responsive and kind! We received daily updates of our pups and we were able to see that they were being treated very well. We had a hiccup with their pills but it was handled professionally and quickly. We would definitely recommend her and book again with her 💗”
About: I am very reliable and will treat your pet as a part of my family. I have potty trained successfully all of the dogs I’ve had as well. I can send daily updates/photos as needed also. Your peace of mind is my priority. I work from home, which means your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day and frequent opportunities for potty breaks, outdoor time, and play. I have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room to explore and play, and I can also provide up to two walks a day depending on your dogs normal routine and needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when leaving your dog in someone else's care. I'll treat your dog like part of our family and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care while they're with me.

“Fifth time client and as always, a great experience. Our dogs love Chelsea and her family. Lots of snuggles and playtime and love. She is our go to and #1 choice any time we are headed out of town.”
“Ronda is an amazing dog sitter!! She was friendly with us as well as the dog. I felt confident after the play meet because she let our good dog kairi run around in every room and outside. The house was very clean, freshly scented and safe for dogs. We were sent pictures everyday without asking or bothering her. We had no complaints for a whole 9 days on vacation to California. We will always contact her for future dog sitting no matter the duration. We trust her and she’s a good, nice, modern, casual, and sweet person. Easy to talk with and recommend her for sure upon being strangers. Ronda watched our pitbull with confidence with all the true information about Kairi. It worked out. Thank you so much!!”
“I simply cannot overstate how fantastic Brittany is. I just left my dog with her for 2/5 weeks while my family went to Europe! When leaving one of your pets with someone, it's really a blessing when you find someone that you can trust with your dog. With Brittany, you feel like you're leaving your dog with a family member. She's very communicative, sending pictures every day. The best part is it's not just her taking care of your dog; it's her whole family in the pictures playing with them! Each time I leave my dog with her, he's super healthy and happy when we get him back. Brittany is easily the best dog sitter I've ever worked with and really just a nice person in general. Thanks again Brittany!!!”
