“This was my first time leaving my dog Kaci with a sitter, and the pictures and regular updates from Chrissy were so helpful. It was a comfort to know that Kaci was in good hands.”
“Gabriel was great in taking extra steps to care for Coco while I was out of the country. He sent pictures and updates that put me at ease! He has a wonderful home and yard that my dog enjoyed. I definitely would recommend him for your animals stay. I knew Coco was safe.”
“Michael and Anne always take great care of our 12 year old lab Brody and we don't worry one bit while we are away. Brody gets plenty of walks and TLC and they put our yoga mats on any hard surface floors as he is afraid of slipping in his old age. He is always happy to go there!”
“John took great care of our dog, and was excellent to work with. Prompt communication, and he was very accommodating and supportive with an injury our dog has. Highly recommend.”
“Oscar enjoyed his stay and came home perfectly relaxed from a stress free time away from home. We were very pleased with the care he received from this family!”
“I highly highly recommend Karen. She truly loves dogs and knows what she’s doing. We are so grateful that we found her. She took time to meet with us and our dog before his 4 night stay. She made drop off and pick up seemless. She sent pictures and videos every day! Our boy looked genuinely happy in every picture. She even taught him some things! Kyro is a high energy dog and he came home absolutely spent. Karen is amazing.”
“Marley had a wonderful time at Lisa's house! We were so nervous to leave Marley as he is so "new" to this world. Lisa was great at sending multiple photos each day to us which gave me the peace to enjoy my time away. Her family loved on Marley too! Highly recommend using Lisa to love on your pet :)”
“Susan is so thoughtful and attentive. It was our first time leaving our boys with her and she did a great job with her communication with us and care of our pugs. We will use her again!”
“Elisheba was wonderful with my dog. She gave me daily updates on how she was doing and sent me fun pictures of the adventures they had while I was gone. I highly recommend her as a sitter for your pet as she has a true love for animals and she will welcome them into her home and take care of them as if it was her own pet.”
“Drei had a fantastic time. He was loved and well cared for while we were away. Tasha and Joseph treated Drei as if he was their own and communicated with us daily with pictures. We already have two more trip planned and are planning on continuing with them watching Drei when we are gone”
“Michelle is fabulous! I take my Australian Labradoodle to her and she cares so much about him. She goes on daily walks, plays outside with him, and keeps him safe. I feel so comfortable with him being there. Thanks again Michelle! We’ll be back.”
“We had a last-minute need for a sitter, and Rachel and Nick did a great job of accommodating and taking care of Olive. We got nice daily updates and were confident that she was doing well. And when we were running late in getting back into town, they were able to help with a late schedule change to extend their sitting. We were very happy with the overall service and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.”
“Natalie was fantastic ! Not only did we get daily updates but photos too :-) Our dog Buddy was well taken care of. Not only will we recommend Natalie but we will be using her again next year on our vacay. Thank you Natalie :-)”
“We loved having Katie look after Bonnie. It was our longest time away from her, and Katie gave us daily updates, pictures and video. We were so relieved and thrilled to how well Bonnie did in their home, with their resident dogs, and even another dog that Katie was also watching. We will absolutely consider Katie again for future needs. Thank you Katie for taking such great care of our Bonnie girl!”
“Amanda and Mike are great! Ashli loves them both and has such a great time when she is there. I never worry when my girl is there because she is well taken care of!”
“Our dog had great care with Caleigh! Great backyard for dogs, good communication, and she did everything she could to make our dog feel comfortable while we were away.”
“Abbie was so great! She did a very thorough meet and greet with my dog and hers so make sure everyone got along before I left. She kept me very updated with pictures and videos which was much appreciated. Maui was well taken care of and loved, and left me with total peace of mind while traveling. Cannot recommend Abbie more, and will be using her again!”
“Daisy suffers from Separation Anxiety and needs to be with a person almost all the time. She was so well taken care of by Jenna and her family, she was her normal happy self, when we picked her up. I would definitely board Daisy with Jenna again.”

“Mark was very patient and understanding with Zeke! It was clear that he has lots of expertise around dogs and is responsive to their needs. Mark also communicated well with me and went above and beyond to care for Zeke! Highly recommend!”
“Janice checked in our kitties for three days over the Christmas holiday, and we couldn't have been happier with her communication and the care she gave them. Each time she visited we received a thorough report and 20+ photos. She clearly really cared about making sure they were happy and went above and beyond to make sure we knew how things were going. I'd absolutely book her again.”
“This was the most relaxing trip I have had in a long time. I felt at ease, and if I ever wanted an update or more photos I was quickly accommodated. One of the most professional, reliable, and honorable pet sitting experiences I have had in a long time. 10/10 would book again.”
“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”
“Omg. She took the best care of my little kitty family. I felt very comfortable being away and my kitties being in her care. I never once worried about them or what was happening while I was away. She updates me with every visit, which was so appreciated!”
“We had a great experience with our drop-in visits! Communication was excellent, our dog was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We’d absolutely book again.”
About: I currently work as a veterinary technician and have been in the veterinary medicine field for 6 years. I have worked and care for many cats over the past 6 years. Working in an animal shelter gave me the opportunity to work with cats of all ages and all temperaments. I am fear free certified and utilize those techniques with all animals I interact with. I am comfortable playing with cats using anything that is engaging to them, feeding, medicating, and cleaning the litter box when needed. Please let me know any special needs, behaviors, or quirks for your fur baby- I want them to be as comfortable as possible. Their comfort and yours is of the upmost importance to me. I prefer to meet you and your pet beforehand to ensure safety and it is a good fit!
About: I’ve loved taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve helped care for dogs and cats for family, friends, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, playing with, and bathing them. I’m dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities and always want them to feel safe and loved! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I’m usually available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m especially available in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine! I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, fed, exercised, and getting plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their normal routine and any specific instructions they leave me. I’m happy to send updates and pictures so you know your pet is doing well.
About: I've had a house full of pets since I was born. We always had at least 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 turtles, and other pets in the house. Chance was my main pet (pitbull) who I personally trained and took care of from the age of 10 until I left for college. I now have a chihuahua named Taako and a fluffy cat named Magnus that I take care of. I've also helped watch cats and dogs of family and friends. I also spend my free time volunteering at Lake Humane Society. I have experience in reading cat temperment (don't want to get bit in a shelter!) and training dogs. I work full time 9-5 during the week from home but I can help during a lunch break, after work any time, or on weekends! I will work to whatever your comfort level is for your pets! My chihuahua is distrustful of strangers so I entirely understand if your animals need some time to warm up to me.
About: I’ve loved cats since I was a child and carried the responsibility of taking care of them since I was 8 years old. I have pet sit for dear friends and family, and taken care of up t 3 cats at a time. I love their mysterious lives and individual personalities.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine passion and dedication to animals. Caring for dogs and cats isn't just a job for me—it's what I want to dedicate my life to. I currently serve as the General Manager of a pet lodge, where I've worked since July 2024. Prior to that, I gained valuable experience at both an animal hospital and another boarding facility. I have hands-on experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and everything in between, as well as dogs of all breeds and sizes and cats of all personalities. I am comfortable administering a wide variety of medications, including pills, tablets, insulin injections, eye medications, ear medications, and more. I take immense pride in providing exceptional care and treating every pet as if they were my own. It would be an honor to care for your furry family members, and I promise they will receive the top-notch, five-star care, attention, and love they deserve. I am currently the General Manager of a boarding, daycare, and grooming facility, where I have the opportunity to work with pets and their families every day. While I truly enjoy what I do, my long-term goal is to build something of my own. I am working toward starting my own pet care business and eventually opening my own boarding and daycare facility. My passion for animals and commitment to providing exceptional care drive me to continue learning, growing, and pursuing that dream. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have four dogs and a cat of my own, so at this time I primarily offer drop-in visits and dog walking services in your home. This allows me to give your pets the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they deserve while keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether it's a daily walk, playtime, feeding, or simply spending quality time with them, I am committed to making sure your pets feel loved and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have had at least one dog since I was born as I grew up in an animal loving family. For the past 11+ years I’ve been raising my own pack of three rescue dogs who I’ve trained and raised to be extremely social and friendly. They love making new fur friends. I currently work a regular office job, but am fairly flexible with my schedule and am almost always available on weekends (Friday - Sunday) and evenings. I have a completely fenced in yard and three friendly fur babies of my own that would love nothing more than to befriend and play with your dog(s). I can also do house visits to come to your place and give one on one time with your fur baby and make sure they’re safe and comfortable.

“What a delight! Senator had a wonderful time with Mindy and canine babies. Mindy was so kind and ready to spend time with him. He was exhausted afterward, but….that’s a compliment. Hope to visit again soon.”
“Michael was great! He asked questions to know Rosie better. He kept in touch with us before her daycare date. During her stay he kept us up to date & sent pictures. We would definitely recommend them & would schedule with them again if we visit the area. It was a perfect situation for our Rosie! Thanks, Michael!”
About: My husband and I are a team who absolutely love caring for dogs! I’ve been around dogs since I was 12, and he’s been around dogs and animals his entire life. Together, we’ve spent years raising and loving our own three sweet fur babies. We know how important patience, kindness, and consistency are when it comes to caring for pups. Whether your dog is shy and sensitive or full of energy and playfulness, we’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. We treat every dog like part of our family! Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily life since I work from home. I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day — whether it’s regular walks, play breaks, feeding, or just being there to offer comfort and company. My husband and I coordinate our schedules so there’s always someone home, meaning your dog will never be left alone and will always have company, care, and lots of love. In my home, pets have plenty of space to feel comfortable and relaxed. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a fully fenced yard—perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Inside, we have a spacious 4-bedroom house where dogs can explore, nap, or cuddle up wherever they feel most at home. We provide a calm, loving environment with consistent routines, personalized attention, and lots of affection. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, we make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved.
“Karen is always great with Ivy. Ivy is well taken care of and loves going to daycare there because of Karen's loving nature. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a sitter.”
“David was great with Myles. He is already going to potty outside after just a week of training with David. I can already see a difference with his behavior and his separation anxiety and also the way he interacts with other dogs. His personality is starting to shine now. I think after a few more weeks of training Myles is going to be in great shape.”
“Alij is such a sweet and caring sitter. She kept me updated and made me feel comfortable while I was away from my dogs. I’m so grateful for the great care she gave them, and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
About: I love dogs and usually bond quickly. I have experience with special diet dogs, elderly dogs, etc. I am like a dog chaplain. I will care for your dog (and home if needed) as I do my own. I work in an industry that requires back ground checks. I have cared for since childhood: German Shepherds, Rabbits, Chows, Rottweiler, Labs, Shih Tzu, Schnauzers, Terriers, rabbits, fish, etc. I'm available at various times with notice. If I am requested for in home care I will care for your home as my own. I look forward to supporting you in any way that I can. Blessings. I’m home all day a few days per week. However, I can do drop ins and house sitting daily. Morning, Afternoon and Evening walks are provided when in boarding or daycare. Weekend stays include park time and long walks. I have a sweet smaller dog whom is very loving and after getting to know your dog will treat them like a sibbling. It is important that your dog be okay with being crated only at night or if I need to run a close errand. Otherwise dogs welcome on couch etc.
About: Hi my name is Patrice. I'm a veterinary technician who loves being with animals even outside of my normal work day. If I could I would adopt a million pets but unfortunately that's not an option. I take pride in being able to help care for pets outside of my own. There's nothing more fulfilling than being able to play with fur babies when the owners cannot do so because of work. I am able to provide exercise time, medication administration, ear cleaning, and basic grooming. If you are in need of any of the above services feel free to reach out to me. I would love to get to know you and your fur babies and develop a life long bond. Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly. I'm always with pets even in my dreams. Rather I am walking pets or meeting up for grooming appointments, I'm always with pets. I get a background of the pets home life and mimic that while they are with me. Routine works best with most pets. When you switch up what they are used to they do not do well.
“Kymberlee, was a God sent. We could not leave our Nordic breed dog in the RV even with AC as too many variables. I connected with Kymberlee and she was very welcoming and accepting on last. She is a great host for pets, loving and extremely caring. Our Louie had a great time and we received pictures and updates during the day. Highly give Kymberlee an above excellent rating”
About: I’ve been involved with dog rescue for many years. I worked with virtually every type of dog there is. From shy, timid to very high energy. I’ve had dogs that had aggression issues. I worked with dogs on leash training, housebreaking, and socialization. I am retired. I have nothing but time on my hands! I volunteer Thursday mornings at an equine therapy barn. But I will still have time to take care of animals on Thursdays. I am open to caring for dogs in my home. But! They have to be dog and cat friendly. I would prefer not to have younger dogs, only because my dogs are older and don’t like young dogs, jumping all over them. My dogs are very dog friendly though. My cats are very dog friendly. In fact, they prefer dogs over our cats!
About: My family loves animals and we would love to take in your pet for the day! We have a dog park and love to go on walks during the evening. Cats are also welcome as we love to snuggle them ❤️. Your pets will be safe and loved in our care and I am able to communicate with you over phone as much as you need during their stay. We currently just moved from an apartment to a townhome so we have a bit more space now for the animals to lounge around and play! I’m a full time at home mom! Taking care of animals makes me so happy. I always hoped to go into Veterinary medicine one day. Right now I have all the free time in the world to take care of your pets when needed ❤️ Pets will be able to run and play in our home. Feeding will depend on how often you need me to feed. Potty breaks often. Dog park on days with nice weather or walks through the trails in our neighborhood!
“excellent caregiver, she cares for the pets, she has her house equipped so that our pets have a great time. I recommend it. Thank you very much for taking care of Wyatt. He always kept me informed about my pet and how well he was having a good time. thanks kimberly”
About: I've had at least two dogs my entire life. I've cared for puppies through adult dogs. I have even cared for some with special needs. When your dog stays with me, you also get my whole family to care for them. I'm a stay at home mom and I have plenty of time to care for your baby. I can be with your dog at all times. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs who would love to play and snuggle. I will also walk your dog if you'd like.
About: I am over the top when it comes to animals. I typically go above and beyond in play and in care. I love to groom them, go hiking or on extended walks and cuddle! I am currently a nursing student who is trying to make extra money so I can stop working during clinicals. Also I have a small child that I could always use extra money for! In my home pets will be in a shared space with toys and activities. I will walk pets every 4-6 hours and will groom both cats and dogs if i see fit (not full groom but wipe eyes, paws, etc) I also enjoy going to the park so if possible i would love to take them to a park near your home or my own
About: Hi! I'm Elijah and I'd love to care for your dogs whether you're going on vacation or simply need a sitter for the day. As of August 2026, I finished nursing school and will be doing Rover full-time until I take my NCLEX test to officially become a licensed nurse! I have one dog of my own, a 9-year-old miniature schnauzer named Winston, along with two rabbits and a leopard gecko. My partner has two dogs of his own as well, a labrador named Nina and a shih-tzu mix named Lucky—both of them being seniors at ages 13 and 15! We live in a 2 bedroom house with a medium sized, fenced in backyard. I have gates and areas of the house that can easily be secluded if your pet would do better with limited access to other animals. I'm experienced with dogs of all ages ranging from puppies to seniors. Our dogs are all easy-going, surprisingly playful for their ages, and get along with other animals very well (although I'll still do introductions slowly and safely). Since graduating college, my schedule is quite literally free 24/7! As mentioned before, Rover will be my full-time job until I get to take my NCLEX and become a licensed nurse. This means your dog will have my full attention and rarely, if at all, be left alone! The animals in my home are left alone for very little time each week. If guest animals have to be left alone, I have gates along with two rooms I can secure the guest pet in if need be! If you utilize a crate, you can bring that as well for me to use if this is how your pet is normally kept while left alone.
“We had some rocky communication difficulties in the beginning due to the app, but aside from that everything was great! Shanikka took great care of Daphne and sent me many photos and updates throughout the day. It was hard for me to find someone who was willing and able to watch such a young puppy and I’m very appreciative of Shanikka and her family. I will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“These two did great w my pups!! Super kind, responsive, responsible with their own dogs during the meet and greet, and took great care of my dogs for the day. 10/10 would recommend!!”

“Brie is an animal pro! My dog, Cora, loves her and Brie has been a Godsend for me as I continue my rehab. Cora loves her walks with Brie, and will actually wait at the door when I tell her she is coming to get her. Thx Brie!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a cat and a 3 year old pit/cattle dog mix. I have owned multiple dogs over the years, including reactive dogs, which gave me hands on experience with different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I worked closely with a professional trainer in the past and gained a lot of confidence in handling and understanding dogs of all kinds. Because my entire family has dogs, I’m constantly around animals and genuinely love spending time caring for them. I understand that every pet is different and that some are energetic and social, while others need patience, structure, and a calm approach. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just having a comforting presence around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away! I currently work full time Monday-Friday from 7-4, however I am fully remote and my job is relatively flexible. Working from home makes life easy as I can bring my laptop anywhere, (with your permission) and work while attending to your fur babies ☺️. I am fully available on weekends and most holidays as well! While I’d love to welcome every pet into my home, I have a reactive dog of my own, so I currently only offer care in clients’ homes through drop ins, walks, and house sitting. The safety and comfort of your pets and mine will always come first 💕
About: Grew up with dogs. Haven’t had as many dogs as cats as they required more attention than cats and Rover didn’t exist when I was younger. I had 3 dogs in my young adult life over the course of 30 years. Currently we have a 9 year old pittie rescue and she is well cared for. I’m recently retired so my schedule is very flexible. Rover has made it possible for us to travel with peace of mind that our pets would be cared for. So I figured it would be a good fit as a retirement job and now I can give others the same peace of mind. The retired lifestyle has left me very flexible for going to people’s homes to help with their cat and dog maintenance while they travel. Currently not looking to offer in home services.
About: I worked at the San Diego Zoo for almost 20 years. My work there included animal care and nutrition. We can use the app for exotics. I have 3 rescue macaws. I have a lot of experience with exotics and aggressive dogs. Having just returned to Ohio from San Diego my schedule is quite flexible. I take care of my own pets, go to the gym and volunteer remotely for Wildlife Madagascar. In pet care i prioritize ilove and positive reinforcement. As the wife of a locksmith I'm also very meticulous about safety and security (i.e., I always double check to make sure that leash/harness clips and locks are secure).
“I have three dogs with different needs because of age and temperament. I was most worried about my small, shy dog, but he took a treat from Karen on the first meeting!”
About: My family has had dogs since before I was born! I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and know how to take care of fur babies of all ages :) Almost four years ago I adopted my first cat. Fast forward to today, I am now a mother of two orange special needs kitties. They are my world 🌎 ❤️🐾 I currently work part time and go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On school days, class starts at 9 and I will have an hour and a half between classes to let a pet out to go to the bathroom, feed them, or give them medication. Then I have another class from 1-3. After that, I will be totally free to assist any pets. I also work part time 3-4 days when I do not have school. These are usually 6-8 hour shifts, but I can adjust feedings/walking/medication administration around these times. And when in doubt, I have several well regarded Rover friends that are willing to help out on my longer shifts, with client approval. :-) I have space to keep a crate for overnight visits and live in an apartment complex with some green space to walk and explore. I am also only a few minutes away from five different parks, so lots of options to check out. I have two cats that are dog friendly, but can be separated if the dog is not cat friendly !
About: I’ve helped out with family pets my entire life (dogs, cats fish, guinea pigs, birds, rats) but in my early 20’s rescued a Doberman/blue heeler mix on my own. He is high anxiety and medicated twice daily for epileptic seizures, so medicine is also something I’m comfortable with. I also now have a Maine coon cat who is 10, a 3 yr old shepherd, cane corso, mastiff mix with 3 paws and a 3 yr old golden/ Pyrenees mix. I work daytime hours MWF, so I’m available for drop ins before and/or after work on those days. On T/TH, I’m available for drop ins or walks during the morning and afternoons :) For the care and safety of both the clients pets and my own, I would prefer to care for clients pets in their own homes.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always been told I have a “way with animals.” I have cared for small, medium, and large dogs before. Whether it’s a tiny tea cup dog or a large lab with more energy that they can contain, I’ve seen it all. I’m currently a senior in high school and play club volleyball. I have a part time job but am looking to gain more experience before college. Being a pet sitter and walking fits great for me since it’s a flexible schedule. I already take care of my own dog and cat at home and would love to add more pets to that list. As an athlete I am able to match your pets energy. I’m able to run around with them and throw their toys for as long as they may need it. I’m always down to explore new places on walks in any weather.
About: I’ve cared for many types of animals of different shapes and sizes in various animal shelter, grooming, and veterinary settings. From pets, to livestock, and exotic reptiles. I’m currently a veterinary technician student as well. Your Companion deserves Time, Love, and Care and my purpose in life is to provide them that. I’m very passionate about this line of work. As a current full time Remote Veterinary student, I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m available 5 days week in the mornings and afternoons. When I care for your pet in your home my routine is to treat them like family and your home like a sacred space. I am more than willing to respect all boundaries put in place in order to do my job properly. I am a helicopter pet parent so your little guy or gal is safe with me.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and absolutely adore them. I have experience working with puppies and older dogs. I spent the whole summer dog walking and would absolutely love to help take care of yours. I have most availability on weekends but may be available week days in the evening depending on the day! I am a graduate student who is looking for a part time job that I enjoy :) As of right now I will not be caring for pets in my home. That being said I am a very responsible sitter who is always looking out for the safety of your dog.
About: I’ve loved taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve helped care for dogs and cats for family, friends, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, playing with, and bathing them. I’m dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities and always want them to feel safe and loved! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I’m usually available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m especially available in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine! I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, fed, exercised, and getting plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their normal routine and any specific instructions they leave me. I’m happy to send updates and pictures so you know your pet is doing well.
About: I currently work as a veterinary technician and have been in the veterinary medicine field for six years. Growing up, I had a feisty miniature dachshund and a goofy golden retriever. When I moved out, I got my own dynamic duo over the years- a chihuahua mix (Brulee- like the dessert crème Brulee) and three years later an Australian shepherd mix (muffin). Brulee was a very opinionated and particular girl while muffin is a gentle soul and afraid of her own shadow. I am fear free certified and have been since I entered the vet med field, it is something that is very important to me and I practice it with every animal I interact with. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. If they have special needs, behaviors, or quirks please tell me everything- I want to know all about your pet! Their comfort as well as yours is of the upmost importance to me. I love taking dogs on walks and hikes, allowing them to set the tone and pace- if they want to speed walk, we can do that or if they want to take a leisurely stroll sniffing every blade of grass that is fine too. I will keep your dog leashed the entire time we are out of the house, unless we are in an enclosed backyard. I do not take dogs to dog parks, unless have a well-established recall and if you request me to. However your pet wants to play, I am game- we can play ball, tug of war, hide and seek, or treat puzzles- whatever gets them excited! I am happy to medicate and feed your pet as needed. I prefer to meet you and your fur baby beforehand to ensure safety and it is a good fit! I currently work from home full time and pick up shifts at clinics when I can. My schedule hours vary so I can be available at normal or obscure hours. As long as we can find a window to make it work, I am happy to be flexible for you and your fur baby! I will care for your pets and home like I care for my own. If your pet has specific needs or if you have special requests, I will do my best to fulfill them to keep you and your pup happy, safe, and comfortable!
About: With over 15 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I bring trusted, compassionate, and reliable care to every pet I meet. From energetic puppies to senior cats, I understand their unique needs and ensure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after, treating them as the members of family they are. I am currently a Stay At Home Mom to a 3 year old adventurer. This allows my schedule to be flexible and proficient. I am enthusiastic about creating as many opportunities as possible to help clients in their time of need. I currently have a fenced in yard and an sasilt walkable neighborhood. I also love to take dogs dogs for hikes and allow them to explore nature and creeks, especially on the those hot days. It prices to be rewarding and stimulating for able animals to spend time beneath the trees.
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and for the last five years I’ve been the “call Lacey, she’ll do it!” pet sitter for family and friends. I’m obsessed with animals, and I take spoiling them very seriously. I love being outside, so your pup will get all the walks, sniff breaks, and adventures their heart desires. Your pets will get cuddles, playtime, and very special treatment every time! I also go by the name “Lu” so if you hear me called that it’s still me! I work full-time as a server, but I still have a flexible schedule and make plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so feel free to reach out anytime—I’d love to help care for your furry friends! I personally have a fenced in yard and two friendly doggies. One is 8 years old and the other is 2. I can do whatever your pets need!
About: Hi, I’m Nicole! For me, pet care has never been a side job—it’s always been part of who I am. For more than 20 years, I’ve volunteered with veterinary clinics, no-kill shelters, SPCAs, rescue organizations, kennels, and dog daycares, caring for animals of every age, breed, personality, and need. Throughout my life, people have joked that animals are simply drawn to me, and honestly, it’s one of the greatest compliments I could receive. Building trust with them comes naturally, and there’s nothing more rewarding than watching an anxious dog relax, a shy dog gain confidence, or an excited pup light up when they realize it’s time for our next adventure. After spending years as a Business Operations Manager, my company unexpectedly closed after 108 years in business. Rather than simply finding another corporate job, I decided to follow the passion that’s been in my heart all along—devoting my time to caring for animals. This isn’t something I’m squeezing into an already busy schedule. This is my career. My availability is intentionally built around the pets I care for, which means your dog receives my full attention, flexibility, and commitment. Every service I provide is designed as a boutique, concierge experience, thoughtfully tailored to your family’s routine and your pet’s unique personality, needs, and happiness at every turn. Whether we’re exploring a trail, playing enrichment games, keeping routines consistent while you’re away, or simply sharing quiet companionship, my goal is always the same: to make your pet feel safe, understood, loved, and genuinely excited to see me every time I arrive. I don’t want to be someone who just walks your dog or checks a box on your to-do list. I want to become someone your pet trusts, looks forward to, and feels completely comfortable with—while giving you absolute peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for with the same love, patience, and devotion I give my own dogs, Bubba and Pippa, who are truly family to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit into my day—it’s what I intentionally make time for. Every service I provide is personalized and thoughtfully tailored to both your pet and your family’s unique routine, preferences, and lifestyle. I take the time to understand what makes your companion feel safe, happy, and comfortable while also making your time away as stress-free as possible. Whether it’s adventure walks, enrichment, puppy or kitten guidance, medication administration, senior support, transportation, or simply maintaining familiar routines, every visit is designed around your pet’s individual needs. My goal is to become a trusted extension of your family, providing dependable, compassionate care and giving you complete peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and emotional well-being will always be my highest priorities. Every service I provide is thoughtfully personalized—not just for your pet, but for your entire family. I take time to learn your routines, preferences, house rules, training methods, and expectations so my care feels like a seamless extension of your own. I strictly follow all pet parent instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise limitations, behavioral cues, crate or free-roam preferences, and any special care needs. Consistency helps pets feel secure, so I strive to maintain the routines they’re already comfortable with. For exercise and enrichment, I carefully choose safe, pet-friendly environments. Depending on your comfort level and your pet’s personality, adventures may include favorite neighborhood walking routes, trusted dog parks, nature trails, or supervised play on a private, family-owned seven-acre property with large, securely fenced areas where dogs can safely explore, sniff, and play. Every outing is tailored to your pet’s age, temperament, energy level, and training. Whether I’m caring for an energetic puppy, a curious cat, a senior companion, or a pet with medical or behavioral needs, I prioritize patience, positive reinforcement, enrichment, and careful observation. You’ll receive thoughtful updates, photos, videos, and honest communication after every visit because I know you’re trusting me with a beloved member of your family. My goal is never to simply “watch” your pet—it’s to become a trusted, familiar friend they genuinely look forward to seeing while giving you complete confidence that they’re receiving the same love, attention, and care I’d give my own.

“Michael and Anne always take great care of our 12 year old lab Brody and we don't worry one bit while we are away. Brody gets plenty of walks and TLC and they put our yoga mats on any hard surface floors as he is afraid of slipping in his old age. He is always happy to go there!”
“I highly highly recommend Karen. She truly loves dogs and knows what she’s doing. We are so grateful that we found her. She took time to meet with us and our dog before his 4 night stay. She made drop off and pick up seemless. She sent pictures and videos every day! Our boy looked genuinely happy in every picture. She even taught him some things! Kyro is a high energy dog and he came home absolutely spent. Karen is amazing.”

We were very happy with the overall service and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.”

Cannot recommend Abbie more, and will be using her again!”

Melissa was always prompt with her responses and kept us posted with pictures! We don't leave him very often so he is quite anxious with strangers but meeting Melissa and her girls made us feel comfortable to leave him. I would definitely drop him off with her anytime! Thanks Melissa!”

We'll absolutely be using them again, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone dependable and compassionate!”

I loved that her family had several dogs and kids that my dog could interact with. You can tell Cori and her family and dog lovers!! Thanks again!!”
