“This was our doggie’s first time with Heather and she loved her. Heather’s dogs are very calm so our dog was comfortable (and snuggly) with the humans and the dogs. She was super happy when we came home and not at all anxious. We’ll definitely call her again if we need to!”
“Kathy is always so wonderful with our dog, Stash! He’s so comfortable and loved when he’s with her. It’s so hard leaving him, but Kathy is great at sending updates and photos while we’re away. Thanks so much for being so great with our little guy, Kathy!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for my entire life, including pet sitting for neighbors and friends. Growing up, we mostly had large breeds dogs, making me uniquely qualified for watching large breeds. My parents’ Newfie is a common household guest. We currently have a Beagle and a Golden Retriever who love making new friends! My husband and I both work from home so we are able to provide constant love and attention throughout the day and can provide lots of potty breaks if requested. At most, dogs may be alone for an hour or two for errands. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take extra precautions to ensure a secure and comfortable environment. We have a fenced in backyard with a 6 foot privacy fence and dogs are always supervised while outside. Clear communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates.
“Awesome! She was accommodating, pleasant to work with and I felt confidant that my pup was well taken care of. Gina stayed in communication during my time away and was responsive to my texts and questions. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”
“Wendy was really great with our dog who is not quite 2 years old. Our dog has a few challenges (slight separation anxiety and some unexpected aggression) and Wendy was confident and willing to work with her. Wendy also kept me updated throughout our week with texts and pictures. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Steven did a fantastic job with Duke! You can tell he was well taken care of. Duke was extremely happy-his tail was wagging like crazy when we picked him up. Duke also seemed to get along well with Steven’s pupper Annie. Steven was really personal and I will definitely use Steven again! It’s nice to have peace of mind leaving a family member for a few days! thanks Steven!”
“My dog loves staying with Debbie! This is the 2nd time I’ve booked with her and this was a long boarding for 10 days. I had no worries while I was gone. Daily updates, pictures and videos.”
“Beth & Edward were fantastic! While on a much needed vacation for a week, they boarded Watson. They gave 2-3 updates a day with pics to keep my updated on how he was doing which put me at ease as this was my first time away from my boy! Highly recommend them and will be booking again in the future!”
“Marley has a home away from home with Megan & the boys & Gus! I love the pictures she is always sending us! Seems like this weekend was “party time” with the doggies! They all looks so happy! We were blessed to find Megan & her family!”
“Rachel was great, she made it convenient for me to drop my dog off for boarding, and when I picked him Up he jumped over to Rachel and gave her a big hug, I think he wanted to stay with her, he might like her more than me!!”
“Patchareya was an excellent sitter for my pup. She communicates regularly and provides a lot of care and affection for small dogs. If you have a small dog I would highly recommend her for your future boarding needs. I know I will!”
“Loved Ariel! Easy to work with, great personality, clean home and quick communication. Kept sending us pictures of our cat and showed how well he was getting along with all the other animals. We will definitely be working with her again for our next vacation. Thanks Ariel!”
“Tara and Peter are amazing. I know this review is late. But better than never. King was pleased with their service and they go way over an beyond to ensure your baby is happy and safe. Thank y’all so very much.”
“We have a 12 week golden doodle puppy (Oakley) and had to leave him for the first time for a baseball tournament. Oakley had a blast playing with Kelsey’s dog, along with many outdoor adventures. We were nervous leaving him for the first time and she updated us frequently. We will 100% use her services again and highly recommend her!!”
“Haley was an amazing host! Very communicative and kept us informed through the entire visit. Our Copper really seemed to enjoy his weekend stay! We will definitely use Haley’s services again! 5 ⭐️”

“Samantha was great for our cat. Jasmine can be shy and a little defensive at first but Samantha kept working with her and they became best friends. Everyday Samantha would send us pictures and a note. I highly recommend Samantha.”
“Katrina checked in on Niles and Melody as we agreed on, sending updates and photos throughout the booking. I appreciate her attentiveness to them as she noted their demeanor and behaviors. This is reassuring when we are away. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, professional sitter don’t hesitate to reach out to Katrina. I know I’ll continue to schedule my trips around her availability.”
“Olivia did an amazing job with our skittish cat. It takes a lot for him to warm up to people, and he clearly liked her — which says a lot. She was responsive, followed all directions, sent updates and pictures, and was very friendly. We felt completely comfortable while we were away and would absolutely use her again. Highly recommend!”
“Morgan was great with my cat, and really got him to warm up to her. She was very communicative, prompt, and responsive during the visits, overall a great experience and I would recommend Morgan to anyone!”
“Taylor is an excellent pet sitter! We are so very pleased with her loving and caring attention to our pups. Plus her communication with us while we were away was outstanding and provided much peace of mind.”
About: Hello! I currently work at a dog boarding and daycare center. I absolutely love taking care of the dogs daily. I’ve gained tons of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare setting, providing attentive, compassionate care to ensure each dog felt safe and comfortable. As well as feeding, exercise, playtime, and basic health monitoring while supervising group interactions to encourage positive behavior and prevent conflicts. I’ve developed strong skills in handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities while maintaining a clean, organized, and stress-free environment 🐾🩷 Pet care is a central part of my daily schedule through my work at a dog boarding and daycare center. Each day involves hands-on responsibilities such as feeding, exercising, supervising playgroups, monitoring behavior and health, and maintaining clean and safe environments for the dogs in my care. Because my workday is structured around consistent routines and animal needs, I am accustomed to prioritizing timely care, attention, and safety. This experience allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my schedule while remaining reliable, attentive, and responsive to each dog’s individual needs. When walking pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and enjoyment at all times. I ensure each walk is suited to the dog’s age, energy level, and temperament, providing appropriate exercise while maintaining control and awareness of surroundings. I pay close attention to behavior, leash manners, and potential hazards, and I follow any specific instructions regarding routes, pacing, or handling. Throughout the walk, I offer positive reinforcement, patience, and attentive care to ensure each pet feels secure, stimulated, and well cared for.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own six dogs as well as others, and I’ve worked professionally in a doggy daycare setting. In addition, I’ve fostered animals and have experience working with horses, so I’m comfortable around a wide range of animal types. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I truly understand how important it is to ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your fur babies will always be treated with the same love and attention I give my own. I currently work part-time while caring for my own dogs, and I offer dog walking and drop-in visits on a part-time basis due to my schedule. However, during the time I’m with your dog, I promise to provide them with plenty of attention, care, and love. With my flexibility, I’m able to stop by for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and attentive looking after your fur babies, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer part-time dog walking and drop-in visits, and during my time with your pet, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and love. I can crate your dog if needed, handle feeding, and ensure they are safe, comfortable, and settled while you’re away. For walks, I bring my own water and treats (if you don’t provide them or allergy restrictions), so your dog stays happy and hydrated. I’ll also ask detailed questions about your pet beforehand so I fully understand their routine, needs, and preferences—ensuring they receive the best possible care.
About: I grew up taking care and watching pets. I have mainly worked with dogs and cats. I have been relied on to walk and feed pets for friends and family since I was young. I’m currently working part time evenings and weekends. I have availability during the day throughout the week to come walk your furry friends, let them out to go potty, or just play with them in the house so their day isn’t as lonely. I have a very large fenced in yard that has never had a issue accommodating my 90lbs Flat Coat. I am used to dealing with all different size dogs and can be sure keep them safe while I’m in your home or out on a walk.
About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was old enough to. I grew up with German Shepherds and have spent years training, loving, and looking after them. Beyond my own pets, I’ve also cared for the animals of friends and neighbors. I’ve been around animals my whole life, and giving them love and attention has always come naturally to me. Pet care is my full-time focus right now, so I have plenty of availability to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve! I have a large yard where dogs can enjoy outdoor time with plenty of space to roam. For safety, I use a secure tie-out stake and lead, so your pet can play while staying within a safe area under my supervision. Pets stay indoors overnight in a cozy, clean environment where they’ll feel safe, loved, and cared for like family!
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover; I have cared for my own pets most of my life, and did my first ever (non-family) pet sitting job when I was about 12 years old. I have experience with dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals. My husband and I currently have a dog and cat indoors, along with a pair of cats and fifteen ducks outside. My current pup, Abby, has taught me a lot about dog body language and behavior, so I'm better equipped than ever to interact with anxious dogs. I work full time, but can still provide house sitting services if you're comfortable with me being away during the day Monday-Friday, and can provide drop in and walking services early mornings/evenings during the week. Most weekend days I can be available all day. I'll be sure that I have and understand any instructions you have for your pets to ensure that they get the care they expect and deserve. I've also just completed a PetTech first aid and CPR class to be sure I'm able to keep your pets as safe as possible.

“Very enthusiastic about meeting our dog. Showed us the backyard and inside of the house. Sent several pictures and a few pictures. Yoshi was very happy looking and definitely enjoyed his stay. Will use again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog - sitting experience for our little Frenchie, Caillou! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in loving, attentive hands. We received thoughtful updates and photos; we could tell he was happy, comfortable, and truly cared for all weekend. Caillou came home relaxed, well cared for, and clearly adored - always the best sign. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was treated like part of the family, not just watched, but genuinely loved. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care and would absolutely trust them again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Kyle was absolutely wonderful! He helped me and my family out in a pinch!! He treated our dogs like his own and was an amazing communicator! He went out of his way to pick up our girls and sent many pictures. Highly recommend and we will use him again! 😊”
“Andrew provided excellent care for our precious dogs. He kept them exercised, hydrated and rested. He sent pics and updates and made us feel so relaxed about our decision. Will definitely have Andrew watch our pups again!”
“Brandon was great with my mom’s dog Cassie. He sent pictures and updates, putting us at ease! He has a great set up for these dogs and I was comfortable leaving her with him! Will definitely use him again should the need arise!”
About: ✨ Personalized Cat Care ✨ Hello, friends and fur babies! I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have been a trusted Rover sitter since May 2023. While I grew up around dogs and volunteered at an animal shelter in high school, my professional pet-sitting journey has naturally led me to specialize in personalized, high-quality cat care. I’ve had the opportunity to care for cats of all personalities and needs, including multi-cat households, senior cats, and shy or anxious kitties. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, following detailed care routines, and providing patient, attentive support tailored to each cat’s temperament. My approach focuses on consistency, comfort, and enrichment. Each visit is intentional and unhurried, with thoughtful attention given to interactive play, mental stimulation, cozy companionship, and plenty of affection—always respecting your cat’s individual boundaries and preferences. If you’re traveling this holiday season and want peace of mind knowing your cat is receiving attentive, personalized care in the comfort of their own home, I’d love to connect. 🐾🤍 I am currently working full-time as a nanny and part-time as a bartender at a local restaurant. My schedule can be busy, but I am very flexible and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. Please feel free to message me to discuss your schedule—I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet gets the care they deserve! I will care for your pet as if they were my own! I primarily offer drop-in visits and am highly detail-oriented and attentive when it comes to following instructions. My goal is always to ensure both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident in the care I provide. For first-time bookings, a scheduled “meet and greet” is required. This helps prevent any miscommunication about expectations, ensures your pet is comfortable with me, and confirms that I’m a good fit for your family.
About: I have taken care of dogs since i was under 10 years old! I volunteered at an animal shelter and know how to help train! I currently am working from home so I have plenty of time to care of animals , train with them, and play with them as well! I myself have a half fenced in yard. I have a lovely corgi/aussie dog for your pup to play with! I can also crate if you need!

About: I've had dogs off and on my entire life but it wasn't until we adopted our baby girl Coco that I really fell in love. We had 13.5 wonderful years with her, then after she passed we decided to foster dogs in her honor and have been doing this since Sept. 2020 with several local organizations. We have fostered 25 dogs and have sat 26 dogs to date, including puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with behavioral and medical special needs. Our pricing reflects the peace of mind of knowing that your pet is well cared for and part of our family during their stay with us. Or for in house sitting, we are mature, reliable and trustworthy and treat your home like our own. We look forward to hearing from you! My husband and I are retired so we are very flexible in our schedule and decided we want to do something meaningful and enjoyable in our retirement. We have a large 1.5 acre lot with a pond on property. It is very serene and peaceful here. Our yard is only partially fenced so we keep the dogs on leash when walking outside. We make frequent potty breaks and like to take dogs for walks in the woods behind our house. They dogs usually sleep on a bed on the floor in our bedroom but will be crated if we have to leave the house for their own safety.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages since I was 18 years old. I had an elder dog that I had to put down recently and I love them so much! Happy to help with any medications or injections that are needed. Just would need a refresher in the injections. If you have any questions or would like to know more about me and my family please don't hesitate to ask. I am available all day most days. I am home 24/7. Outside of just running errands. I have 1 dog and 1 cat that I already take care of daily. So adding on a couple more doesn't hurt. Your pets have free range of the house as long as they are well mannered. My backyard is fenced with a 6ft privacy fence. My cat and dog are both on vectra for flea treatment. They are welcome anywhere in my house.
About: I currently have a 3 year old mini Australian shepherd. My experience includes watching a puppy overnight, helping train a deaf dog, and taking neighbors dogs on walks. I am a teacher so I am available all of June-August to provide all day care for dogs or just walk dogs during the day. I have a friendly dog to keep your dog company. I also live within walking distance of a bike trail to make sure your dog gets daily walks.
About: My passion for caring for animals began in childhood while growing up on a farm. From a young age, I helped clean stalls, collect fresh chicken eggs each morning, and care for a variety of animals. I was always the kid begging my parents for more pets, and animals quickly became my greatest source of comfort through a tough childhood. I have over 10 years of hands-on experience working on a horse farm, where I learned the value of consistency, safety, and attentive care. In addition, I’ve fostered bottle-baby kittens, assisted my mom in breeding golden retrievers, and helped raise her litters many times. My love for animals has no boundaries — I’ve worked with everything from farm animals to dogs, cats, and even jumping spiders, which I currently breed. I have two dogs of my own — Meme, who is 6, and Pia, who is 3 — and they are my whole heart. They have a daily routine I take seriously: outside time at 6:00 a.m., treats before I head to work, a midday potty break, and an evening 30-minute walk at 5:30 p.m. On weekends, we enjoy adventures at the park or exploring new places. I understand how important structure and routine are for pets, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve provided a wide range of pet care — from weekend stays to week-long vacations — both in my home and in others’. Whether it’s an active pup needing exercise, a senior dog requiring gentle attention, or a young animal that needs extra patience, I’m flexible, attentive, and committed to giving each pet the love, safety, and care they deserve. My pups have an entire routine each day. In the morning they go outside at 6:00 am. I do have a fenced in back yard, so I leave my sliding glass door open so they may come in and out. The get treats in the morning before I go to work. I do return home for lunch to let them out to potty. I return home around 5:30 each day and we go for a 30 minute walk. They get their bedtime treat and we start again the next day. On weekends I do like to take them to the park or on adventures. My pups would love some friends, and sleep overs. I know how important my dogs routine and/or schedules are and I would take your pup’s routine just as seriously. The amount of care I offer for pets on a regular basis always fluctuates. I have had pups for a week long vacation, and I have also had just weekend stays. Various weekends I do stay at others homes and care for their pets. I’m very flexible.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i had my first dog in the first grade. A white Samoyed. When she was 3 she has 7 puppies! I was obsessed with them. We sold 6 and kept one. So we had 2 big white Samoyed’s that I had the responsibility of raising and attending to. They were my whole world. I’m always the first to be asked to watch someone’s dog because if there’s one thing I’m passionate about, it’s loving on dogs. I now have a mini dachshund who i love so much. I have experience with puppies, big dogs, little dogs, and senior dogs. I’m able to train puppies and care for senior dogs who would need more help in their day to day activities such as meds, frequent potty breaks, and patience. I also had an internship with the lake humane society in high school and have a special place in my heart for rescue dogs/cats who could use some extra love. I am currently a stay at home mom with my 8 year old who is in school and 1 year old who both love dogs I figured i could help out some dog momma or daddies who aren’t able to be home with them all day. I am able to let your dog out every couple hours. And even take them for brief walks. We have plenty of dog toys to share, bully sticks (while supervised), treats, and extra dog bowls if needed. My husband is a realtor so is home most of the time if i am not. I crate our dog at home when we leave. I also have a camera just in case to make sure she’s okay while we’re gone. We moved so we don’t have a fenced in yard anymore. But had leads if they want to stay outside for a longer period of time. I also live next to my parents who have a fenced in yard where i could take them if you feel more comfortable with that.
“Amanda, Aaron, and their precious pups are wonderful! ???? Our 12 week old little girly has been socialized with all ages, shapes, and sizes of people, but not with other furry friends! Well, She had a daycare day today! She was nervous and shy at first, but then couldn’t care less about me when I came to pick her up!??♀️She loved playing and hanging out with new friends! Amanda updated me and sent me photos throughout the day! They have their house set up so they can separate the dogs if need be, and she took them out one at a time so as not to have them wrestling around in the wet mud, etc. I appreciate that! ☺️ I can tell Amanda and Aaron love dogs- we are so thankful! ?????”

“Sandy was awesome! She walked my pup, played with her, and fed her. She also sent pictures and stayed in contact. I really appreciate her helping me while I was out of town. Derby seemed so happy after being with her. Can’t say thank you enough!”
About: I love animals, and do have my own pets. I know what it’s like being a pet parent and just needing to make sure your fur baby gets the love and attention they need. I work from home and can work pretty much anywhere. So my availability is very open to meet your needs. I work M-F and have weekends off. My job is to make your life easier and make sure your pets are safe and loved. I will follow any rules you provide. I do not allow children to approach dogs while walking for everyone’s safety.
About: Hello fellow pet peeps! I’ve had pets as long as I can remember- I’ve been lucky enough to have been a pet mama to small pocket pets, cats, dogs, reptiles (snakes and lizards), fish, a chinchilla named Jerry and even a small flock of chickens! I am a teacher, so I have time this summer to help out! I would love to offer my services to all the families needing someone to look after their furry (or scaley) family members. I can offer housesitting, but I am unable to stay over night due to my own family needs at this time. I can be flexible and would love to help if I can. I have a lot of experience taking care of different types of animals, but would always follow the specific directions based on the needs of your pet. I am comfortable with all types of pet care including medication needs, crating, potty training etc…
“Allison has been wonderful to work with! She has been walking our two pups for the past few weeks and we couldn’t be happier with the care and attention they receive! From the start, Allison has been reliable, communicative and a great resource for long work days!”
About: Hello! I currently work at a dog boarding and daycare center. I absolutely love taking care of the dogs daily. I’ve gained tons of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare setting, providing attentive, compassionate care to ensure each dog felt safe and comfortable. As well as feeding, exercise, playtime, and basic health monitoring while supervising group interactions to encourage positive behavior and prevent conflicts. I’ve developed strong skills in handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities while maintaining a clean, organized, and stress-free environment 🐾🩷 Pet care is a central part of my daily schedule through my work at a dog boarding and daycare center.

Because my workday is structured around consistent routines and animal needs, I am accustomed to prioritizing timely care, attention, and safety. This experience allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my schedule while remaining reliable, attentive, and responsive to each dog’s individual needs. When walking pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and enjoyment at all times. I ensure each walk is suited to the dog’s age, energy level, and temperament, providing appropriate exercise while maintaining control and awareness of surroundings. I pay close attention to behavior, leash manners, and potential hazards, and I follow any specific instructions regarding routes, pacing, or handling. Throughout the walk, I offer positive reinforcement, patience, and attentive care to ensure each pet feels secure, stimulated, and well cared for.
About: Ive taken care of all sorts of dogs my entire life, whether theyre my own, family friends, or volunteering at shelters. I especially have a lot of experience dealing with scared or anxious dogs, this is because all of my pets are rescued from bad situations so I have learned over time how to read their body language and act exactly how they need to be comfortable. I am very available during the summer months so if you reach out I am more than sure that I will be able to work something out with you! For dog walking if there is a neighborhood I will happily walk your dog in that neighborhood. However if it is not available I have my car set up to keep your dog safe in the backseat, granted that theyre ok being in a car, this way I can take your dog to a nearby park to walk. If your dog is not comfortable being in a car and there is not a neighborhood set up, im sure we can work something out! I always bring anything and everything your dog could need on a short walk such as a water bowl, bags, extra leashes, and treats.

About: Ive always had pets growing up. I currently live with my mom and her two dogs. I've also cared for bearded dragons before and I also have a 65lb sulcata tortoise. I've dealt with dogs of all sizes, from weiner dogs, to hound mixes. I love all pets, but I'd say my favorite type of dogs are pugs because I find them extremely cute. I currently do gig work for my income. I mostly do instacart from about noon until 10pm most days. I feel like Doing gig work would make me more flexible to take care of pets vs somone with a 9-5 job. I can't offer boarding because my one dog is weird about other animals sometimes. However, id be more than happy to dog sit for days that you are out of town, or simply go over and let the dogs out to go potty if you didn't need someone to stay over. I can come over to your house to give your dog food/water, as well as let them out for potty breaks on a visit. I can also stay overnight if you need that as well.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Im always my family’s go to person when they need it! I’ve watched many kinds of dogs of many ages, including little 3lbs puppies to 120lbs leonbergers! I also was involved with service dogs in training. I’m currently free most weekdays after 3 pm and most weekends! I love being outdoors, going on long walks at the park, and I love dogs! So I figured this would be the perfect activity for me (: I always listen to the rules that are made for me to follow when watching someone’s pet because I understand that it is the best way to care for their fur baby while the owners are away.
About: I’ve always had cats and dogs growing up and have experience with all ages. I’ve spent the last several years animal sitting for friends and family when they’re out of town. I have a pretty flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to give your pets lots of care and attention! Available any day of the week! I can walk your pet, feed your pet and play with your pet and I can give them lots of cuddles and attention while you are away!
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life! I started volunteering at shelters at the age of 13! I started my animal care career in 2014 working at the best rated doggy daycare/boarding/ and training facility in Cleveland until 2020. During that time I also worked at an animal hospital for over a year getting more educated on animals! I also worked part time in a pet store where I was hands on with all of the animals there. In 2020 I opened my own business making all natural and healthy dog treats as well.

About: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, turkeys, ducks, rabbits, etc. I have a background in animal 4H and am still a club advisor. I work night shift with fluctuating days off but am able to fit pet care into my day after work and before I go into work. I can take care of your animals in your home and flex my schedule to best meet your needs. I am an active person and can walk dogs, clean litter boxes and provide food and water.
About: I’ve been responsible for the care of pets most of my life. Pets are family to me. I love getting to know their individual personalities and supporting their needs. My routine varies daily and weekly. Weekends and evening are more open but, depending on the day and mommy schedule, I can sometimes be available during the day on week days. Overnight stays can be available for house-sitting if my 14 pound, male dog, Franklin, can accompany me; he is very friendly and attached to me. I will connect with you one-on-one about your pets individual needs and follow their schedule and routine as you identify me to do. I respect your space and guidelines.
About: I currently have a 3 year old mini Australian shepherd. My experience includes watching a puppy overnight, helping train a deaf dog, and taking neighbors dogs on walks.

I also live within walking distance of a bike trail to make sure your dog gets daily walks.

I'm currently working part-time, but I will definitely try to work around your needs! I am open to any and all animals! Let me know what availability you have and we can work with that! I do have a cat crate and some cat treats and toys. I do also have dog treats and chew toys. I am very gentle and know how to approach animals in a way that does not make me appear threatening and will earn their trust.

About: Playing, cuddling and lots of pampering is what your dog will receive during their stay at our home. We are huge animal lovers, and it's all about the pups at our house! We will care for your loved ones like they were our own children so that you can have peace of mind while you are away. Many families have come to know and trust us to take excellent care of their pets. We are completely dependable and can provide many great references. We look forward to meeting you and learning about your dog's special needs. About this sitter: I am passionate about making sure all of your pet's needs are met. I understand that your dog may not understand why they are in a new environment and may miss you, so I make every effort to make them feel loved, pampered and comfortable, so they feel like you sent them on their own special vacation. You can rest assured that your dog will be the focus of my attention while you are away, and I will send lots of pictures, so you can enjoy your vacation. Why I love dog sitting: I have rescued and taken care of all breeds of dogs, big and small. Dogs are our children on four legs. Meet my pet I have one 9-year-old pampered pit bull mix, Karma, who get along with other dogs. She is spayed and UTD on all shots, flea and heartworm medications. About our yard We have a huge 2 acre groomed back yard. However, I will keep your dog on a leash at all times unless you give me permission to let them run around the yard freely while being supervised at all times. I have extensive experience administering medications, nail trimming and bathing. I am experienced and comfortable administering oral medication, topical, injections and eye and ear medications. I am home full time and do not have a job. Your dog will receive my undivided attention. I will let your pup outside to play at least four times a day, and more if needed. If your dog is a senior or a puppy, then their play schedule will be adjusted according to their activity level. I will keep your dog on a leash while playing in our back yard, since the entire five acres is not fenced, unless you specifically tell me that it's okay to take them off the leash to play ball. At your home, I will follow whatever protocol you have in place, whether that be leashed walks or unleashed play in your yard.
About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was old enough to. I grew up with German Shepherds and have spent years training, loving, and looking after them. Beyond my own pets, I’ve also cared for the animals of friends and neighbors. I’ve been around animals my whole life, and giving them love and attention has always come naturally to me. Pet care is my full-time focus right now, so I have plenty of availability to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve! I have a large yard where dogs can enjoy outdoor time with plenty of space to roam. For safety, I use a secure tie-out stake and lead, so your pet can play while staying within a safe area under my supervision. Pets stay indoors overnight in a cozy, clean environment where they’ll feel safe, loved, and cared for like family!

“This was our doggie’s first time with Heather and she loved her. Heather’s dogs are very calm so our dog was comfortable (and snuggly) with the humans and the dogs. She was super happy when we came home and not at all anxious. We’ll definitely call her again if we need to!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for my entire life, including pet sitting for neighbors and friends. Growing up, we mostly had large breeds dogs, making me uniquely qualified for watching large breeds. My parents’ Newfie is a common household guest. We currently have a Beagle and a Golden Retriever who love making new friends! My husband and I both work from home so we are able to provide constant love and attention throughout the day and can provide lots of potty breaks if requested. At most, dogs may be alone for an hour or two for errands. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take extra precautions to ensure a secure and comfortable environment. We have a fenced in backyard with a 6 foot privacy fence and dogs are always supervised while outside. Clear communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates.

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).

It’s nice to have peace of mind leaving a family member for a few days! thanks Steven!”

“Mike and his family (2-legged and 4-legged) are wonderful. It was my first experience using Rover and Mike is a wonderful representative for your company. They cared for my new rescue Ronnie who is very timid. Mike has a wonderful fenced-in backyard where Ronnie enjoyed romping with Mike's dogs Pickle and Snoopy his home is very dog-friendly, comfortable, and cozy and Ronnie made himself right at home. I received daily photos which gave me the reassurance that Ronnie was enjoying wonderful care. I even remarked to Mike that I hoped Ronnie would want to come home with me. Thank you again, Mike and family. You are wonderful people and thank you for the excellent care you gave my Ronnie. He's been resting all day from his adventure with you. God bless! Dora”
