“My girl was so well cared for during my time away. It's the first time I've left her with anyone other than family, and for so long. Kayla kept me informed of daily happenings and shared photos with me. That put my mind at ease while being so far away. I will definitely look to Kayla for future needs and I highly recommend her care.”
“Diana took great care of our dog Sadie. She walked her to the park and sent us pics through out the day. There were other dogs to play with, which Sadie loved. I'll use Diana again!”
“I have one easy going dog and one super nervous shy dog! I was really worried about leaving my nervous dog with “strangers” but they really went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable. She almost seemed disappointed coming home! Lovely family, would hire again!”
“My dog Remy had another great stay with Anastasia. I appreciate the awesome care and the pics/videos that she sent. I will definitely book with her anytime my dog needs boarding 😀”
“Liz was great with our dog while we were away and had great communication with us to put us at ease. She really took the time to assure us after we explained some of our dog's needs. She kept us updated and has lots of experience. We're very happy with her services and Pippin had a great time with her personal dogs and other boarders. Definitely recommend and rest assured she will look after your pet as well as she did ours. Thank you!”
“Jean was very kind and helpful. I was nervous leaving my puppy for the first time (I spent a long time making a decision and even visited other homes), but I felt comfortable leaving him there and I think he had lots of one on one time and was not alone very much. She seemed to really enjoy her time with my puppy (who is a bit of a handful despite his size). She checked in with photos every day. They went for lots of walks and play time and he seemed very well cared for overall. She even dropped him off for me as I was getting in on a late flight. She is obviously a loving,fun person and enjoys dogs a lot. I would recommend her to other dog owners. Thanks Jean!!”
“She did a great job with our Goldendoodle Daisy. She kept us updated with daily postings and pictures, and Daisy seemed to really enjoy her time with Becky. Would definintely use again!”
“Gary and Carol are wonderful! Waldo almost jumps out of the car with excitement when we drive up to their place. They are by no means close in proximity but the drive is well worth it!”
“My two dogs had a great stay with Susie! They came home tired and happy, and I got picture updates along the way. We’ll definitely see if she’s available next time we need a sitter!”
“Cole had a great time with Julie and Barry. He was glad to see us when we came to pick him up, but also was showing them his love at the same time. We got lots of pictures and updates while we were gone which always makes being away easier. Thankful for all the love they gave our little boy!”
“Hanlan went above and beyond what I expecting! We left our pug with her for 5 days and she was always sending cute pictures from his day. She took him on long walks, and the dog park multiple days. We really felt Bubz was left in amazing care, and would choose her again next time we go out of town!”
“Cassandra and Trevor were wonderful with our dog, Buddy. He took to them immediately at a meet and greet and subsequently stayed with them overnight. It was clear that they treated our dog with care and warmth. We enjoyed the images they sent to us. We will definitely use them again . Thank you for taking great care of him.”
“Nadine took great care of our dog, Rosco while we were away for a long weekend with family. He got to play outdoors a lot more than he does at home, and with other dogs, too. It was his first time boarding anywhere and he was a little nervous but Nadine is a dog whisperer and gave him what he needed to settle in. She also introduced him to her cat; a creature he had little knowledge of, but had admired from afar. Rosco wanted to chase her a little bit but Nadine was able to talk him out of it. She took lots of pictures for us. Good ones! Rosco is usually either asleep or in motion, so he’s not the best photographic model. We’re homebodies, but if we go somewhere again, Rosco will stay with Nadine.”
“Alyssa took great care of my spoiled senior poodle. She provided regular updates and was proactive with questions. Knowing he was in great hands, receiving lots of attention and love allowed me to really relax and enjoy my vacation.”
“Lisa did amazing with Tito! Regular updates and he really seemed to feel at home with her. Would highly recommend booking with Lisa if you want to feel certain your pup will be comfortable during their stay.”
“My dog loved staying with Hayleigh! They have a calm, welcoming home, a sweet dog, friendly cats, and a big yard. He was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!"”
“This was my first time using rover and I was a bit nervous leaving my dogs with someone that I didn’t know but Bobby and Linda made me feel very confident in their ability’s to take care of our dogs. They gave great updates with pictures and notes on what they did that day. I will recommend them to others and use them again in the future.”

“Ashley is great about communication and she really cares about animals. She’s always willing to go the extra step to care for your pets and has a can-do attitude when it comes to exotic animals. Thank you so much Ashley!!!”
About: I personally don’t own cats because I am allergic to them, but I have plenty of experience cat sitting for neighbors/ friends. I took care of cats at my neighbors house pretty often, feeding wet / dry food, changing litter.
About: I always shoot your animals like mine. I come to your home and make sure they’re fed watered. I make sure they’re little boxes are clean. If they need some snuggling, I’ll give them all the loving they need.
“Molly was great! Super responsive, flexible, and a great communicator! She sent great pics while she was caring for our kitty, and it’s clear our cat bonded with her right away. We felt great knowing Akira was being well looked after while we were away. Would absolutely book again and recommend!”
About: I’ve had cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and I truly enjoy their unique personalities and companionship. Growing up with and caring for cats has taught me the patience, gentle approach, and attention to routine that every cat needs to feel safe and comfortable.
“Due to no fault of his own, we learned through this experience that apparently my kitties would rather bond with females. Yet, Amir pulled through, going far and beyond to find that bond. He, on his own, bought toys and treats, trying to coax them out of their shells. He searched our house through and through trying to find our one kitty, who insisted on hiding the entire time he was in our home. If, and when, you are in a situation where you have to leave your animals in the hands of another - for us, this meant traveling of state and really needing someone we could trust to be our best replacements - Amir is your guy! If, and when, we are in need again, we will be calling him”
“Cora did an outstanding job with Ollie on short notice…she’s watched him before and always keeps us updated with lots of photos :) Left the house in better shape than it was before. Highly recommended!”
About: I've taken care of my own cats since I was six years old. They are my absolute favorite and I love how self sufficient and independent they can be. I have experience cleaning litter boxes and administering medication.
“Elena is great and has been taking care of my boys for a very long time. Castle and yuma are big boys with special needs as one is extremely reactive and the other deaf and she handles them both perfectly. She is always on time and my boys love her. Only walker I prefer to use.”
About: I've had cats since I was a kid, so I have experience with them as kittens and in old age, administering medication, injections, putting medicine in their food, feeding them, giving them water and treats, trimming their nails, and bringing them to the vet. I also have about 10 years of experience with other people's cats as a house-sitter and checking in on them.
“We could not have been more pleased with Janelle’s care for our pets and home. She was very patient with chatterbox Edith and scaredy cat Rose. We will not hesitate to call her again the next time we travel. 5 stars are not enough!”
About: I grew up with pets and have been taking care of my own for almost 15 years now. I have experience administering medication, such as pills, eye or ear drops, fluids, and insulin shots. I volunteered at a wildlife rehabilitation center so I’m used to feeding and cleaning after all kinds of animals. I am clean, organized, patient, and have a calm demeanor that puts pets at ease. I will take care of your babies like they’re my own, and follow the instructions closely :) I work 7am to 4pm Monday through Friday and I’m available at any other time. I can go there before and after work, and I’m fully free on weekends. I can also go during my lunch time if the location is in or near Oregon City. I’m able to crate your dogs if needed. I can take them on walks, or to parks or short hikes if preferred. I can house sit and take care of your plants and do some light cleaning if needed as well.
“Aimee is amazing with my kitty Luna! This is the third time I have used Aimee for kitty sitting and she does not disappoint. She cares for your pet as if it's her own with love and affection. Also, I love all the photos from each visit! ❤️ Highly recommend!”
About: I have owned several cats of my own as well as cared for cats for friends and family. In my spare time I have rescued, fostered, and rehomed cats and even worked with a small, at home rescue. I did do some cat grooming and have offered my services to friends and family as well. I have experience with kittens, senior cats and cats that have medical needs too.

About: We love animals! We especially love caring for dogs, after our beloved golden retriever passed away 12/2024. My two children (14 and 10) and I will be loving on your pets. I own my businesses and work from home! Completely flexible schedule with plenty of time for walks and play. We’d love to watch your pet. We have a comfortable, pet-friendly home in a very safe neighborhood, just two blocks from a park with plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time. Our yard is unfenced, so dogs will always be supervised and leashed outside. We do have one cat, so we’re only able to host pets who have experience with cats and are comfortable and safe around them.
“Kris was amazing he goes above and beyond to make your fur babies feel comfortable..My babies were exhausted by the time I picked them up he also introduced other animals to them and Im so grateful..I recently adopted my two out of a shelter and he made them feel right at home and even gave me tips on things. Kris thank you so much youre a lifesaver! We shall return”
“Julie and Barry took care of Iris for the day for me. She had a great day! When I came to pick her up, I think she was not even quite ready to come home. She was clearly very comfortable, happy and relaxed. Julie and Barry treated her like she was family. They give all their attention to one dog at a time, which I really appreciate. I recommend Julie and Barry very highly. I'm so grateful to have found them.”

Your dog is welcome anywhere in the house and outside. However, I do not have a fenced yard so your dog will never be off leash, or unattended at any time.
“Willow was great with my reactive, anxious dog. It’s challenging to find sitters knowledgeable and capable of dealing with his issues. We felt confident leaving our dog with her and I can tell he had a good time. Willow kept him busy with activities and gave us frequent updates. We will definitely use her services again when we need daycare.”
“Emma is wonderful and her doggy camp is the best. Our pups are always well taken care of and have a blast running around their big yard - this is especially wonderful for our high energy Boston terrier pups. They normally fall asleep on the ride home and we are so thankful!”
“Shasta and her family are very loving and caring, we truly trust her completely. Our dog Gus gets so excited about having a stay it make leaving him a boy easier knowing he just runs right into the house out of excitement!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, having cats growing up and later volunteering with dogs at rescue orgs. My time as a training class assistant for Puppy Manners and New Dog Basics at the San Francisco SPCA gave me valuable skills in positive reinforcement training, socialization, and handling dogs of all temperaments. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have experience with horses, having owned and leased several. I’m comfortable with feeding, turnout, mucking stalls, brushing, and general equine care, making me a well-rounded caregiver for multi-pet households. What sets me apart is my ability to care for pets at all life stages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing extra patience and comfort. Whether it’s structured walks, reinforcing good manners, or providing a calm and loving presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of pet behavior across species and a passion for ensuring their happiness and well-being, I go beyond basic care to provide engaging, enriching, and compassionate pet companionship. After our Husky mix’s TPLO surgery in Fall 2024, I’ve decided to make pet care my main focus. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and this shift allows me to dedicate my time and energy to providing top-quality care for pets in my community. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and customized care based on each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, feeding and playtime, or extra TLC for pets recovering from surgery, I tailor my services to fit both routine and special care requirements. My experience with dogs, cats, and even horses means I’m comfortable handling a variety of schedules—from structured training sessions to free-spirited outdoor adventures. No matter the time of day, I ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my clients’ homes. At my home, we have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure and spacious area for dogs to play and explore. Your pup will also have built-in companionship with our two friendly dogs, ensuring plenty of socialization and fun. For exercise and enrichment, we have scenic trails nearby, perfect for peaceful walks in the woods—giving dogs a chance to sniff, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors. In my clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s unique routine and environment, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether it’s reinforcing training, maintaining feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm presence while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. No matter the setting, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and enriching experience for pets—so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.
“Anastasia allowed me to relax with my husband for a day without needing to meet all of Remy's needs. This was our first stay with Anastasia, but she offered a Meet and Greet initially that put my mind at ease with regard to her family of pets, the conditions of her yard, and her willingness to answer my questions and needs. She did a great job safeguarding Remy during his day's stay, she sent me photos and an update on how he was settling in, which I greatly appreciated. I'll definitely re-book Anastasia for Remy's pet-sitting needs in the future.”
“From the beginning, very responsive and helpful! They were able to handle my high anxiety dog and didn’t get annoyed by the overly long explanation I had about his dogality. Followed up with pictures and updates and my dogs had a blast! Highly recommend Cass and Trevor for dog sitting.”
“Seth was super responsive, communicative and professional. While we struggled to find a Rover receptive to caring for our dog that doesn't play well with others, they quickly read the description for our dog and without preempting, let us know the accomodations they would take to ensure our dog had a stress free stay. They obviously knew how to take care of dogs well, including rather particular pups like mine. We were so grateful for Seth and felt very comfortable leaving our dog in his care. Next time we are in the area and need pet care, we will definitely go to them again!!”
“Took excellent care of my high energy puppy, provided lots of pictures and videos of him happily playing in the yard, prompt and communicative. Couldn't have asked for a better person to trust with my kiddo for the weekend”
“Hank, my service dog, went to play at Sam’s house several times A few years ago; due to moving in job change we no longer needed their service for a while: but with a new baby we were ecstatic to see that they offer transportation as well as daycare now!! 100% trust them with Hank at all times and they’ve gone above and beyond to make sure he’s happy and to let me know what’s going on ♥️ I can tell when he comes back that he was in the company of good people and good dogs. Thank you Sam Devin and Emily!”
“Bridgitte is always great with our little rescue dog. We always get pictures of them out taking walks, and she takes our dog out to public places like restaurants which is good for her socialization. Bridgitte is super friendly and personable, and couldn't be easier to work with.”

“Ashley is wonderful! We’ve hired her to walk our two small pups midday M-F on a long term basis and we’re SO happy that we found her. She’s very communicative, kind, thoughtful and so very loving to our pups. It gives us great peace of mind knowing that our little ones are getting love and attention, exercise, fresh air, treats, play time and tummy rubs while we’re away. We highly recommend her. Thank you Ashley!!”
About: I am passionate about providing compassionate, high quality care for every animal I meet. Whether a pet is in my care or simply nearby, I naturally pay attention to their body language, personality, and individual needs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet, and I have a habit of spoiling them with plenty of love, attention, and positive experiences, while also noticing and respecting when a pet prefers to be left alone and simply kept to their routine. Along with providing excellent care, I value reliability and trust. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone who will treat them like family, and that’s exactly what I strive to do. Spending time with animals is both calming and fulfilling for me, whether we’re relaxing at home, going for walks, playing, training, or exploring new places together. I have fostered multiple animals, helping with socialization, basic training, and building confidence through patience and positive reinforcement. I also have professional experience as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior or special needs pets, monitoring for health concerns, and handling additional care such as post operative care, bandage or diaper changes. My experience extends to caring for all kinds of animals, including birds, fish and fish tanks, lizards, rabbits, cattle, and chickens. I genuinely enjoy learning how to care for different types of animals and am dedicated to giving each one the care they need. At the same time, I’ll always be upfront if a type of care is outside my experience level, so you have the opportunity to find the most appropriate care for your pet. My goal is simple: to provide your pets with a safe, enriching, and loving experience while giving you peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and earn your trust by giving them the kind of care they deserve. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! My current work schedule is with a warehouse, that being said I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a lot more pets and schedules than I expected. Please don’t hesitate to reach out same day if needed, I’ll always do my best to accept all compatible client and pet requests!! I live on a farm that is fully fenced around the entire property, there is an option to have your pet(s) meet some other pets on the property and play during the day, but I also am fully prepped for keeping the dogs separate from each other for any reason if needed. When staying at your home I am respectful of privacy and rules. I will NEVER have anyone other than myself inside your home or on the property, and I will clean up after myself as well as have the home clean when you get back. I do allow dogs on furniture at my home but will not allow it if needed.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I can remember I love and care about all animals and would treat yours like my own! I'm a stay at home mom at the moment so I'm just looking for extra money to make so I can go out and do more things with my kids! I can definitely help leash train if that's something you would need or train in any other way I've trained every animal I've had so it's pretty easy for me!
About: I’m happy to take your pups, dogs, and seniors on walks around the neighborhoods or down to the local parks to local trails. I’m MORE than happy to load them up and take them on a small local hike though if they’re up for it and you’re comfortable with it! I enjoy walking and with my girl getting older she’s not up to as many/long walks as we were doing so I’m branching out to steal other peoples pooches for company! I’m currently sticking to weekends right now but when the days get longer I may add in some week days too. Not doing any services for dog sitting quite yet, my yards not ready and I’m not interested in house sitting just yet. Maybe in a few months!
About: My name is Faulkner, my partner Meredith and I do not currently have a dog but we love spending time with dogs! We would love to look after your furry friend! I have had a lot of experience caring for dogs. I grew up taking care of dogs. I worked at the Morris Animal Inn in NJ, where I walked dogs being boarded. I have experience caring for animals who need medication. As well as experience taking animals on emergency hospital visits. Every dog has unique needs. I approach each dog to match their needs. I work well with both high and low energy dogs. I am capable of providing exercise for athletic dogs. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!
“Amir is our go-to for our dog Yoshi! He's got a calming presence and always sends great photo updates. He's very trustworthy and we'll continue to book with him if available. Thanks Amir!”
“We booked Frank for dog walking and all three sessions were smooth and seamless! We appreciate having an option for someone to come in and give our girl a little extra care. Thank you, Frank!”
“Gema has taken great care of my adolescent dog. Penny is still figuring out the transition from puppy to dog and can still be pretty nervous at times, but Gema has taken great care of her whether it is walks or play in the dog park or at home. I definitely recommend Gema! Penny is an angel too 🐶”
About: See my $20 Off QR Code in my photos! I love being around animals and have been around them my whole life. I grew up in generations of animal & nature-lovers. It’s a gift to be able to connect with animals. I love to return the positive energy an animal gives. I feel like every animal deserves kindness. I feel like I have a gift to be able read, understand, calm and relax and add happiness to an animal’s day. They are therapy for me as much as I feel I am for them. I’m happiest and genuinely feel most at-ease with animals. It’s important for me they feel comfortable with and around me. I know that much like human children, routine is very important to pets. If you need me to check in on them, feed /water them, potty breaks/short walks/close-by parks/play toss-the-ball, hug/cuddle/companion-time or stay at your home I am available to help. I develop unique connections to each animal I’m around and grateful to be around each one. Whatever a pet-owner needs me to do to help make their pet’s day better, I’m up for the challenge. Animals make my day, daily! Whether it be my friend’s dogs & cats or the Brahma bull that is up the road, I try to see an animal each day. I do have experience with animals that have high-anxiety, special needs and abusive backgrounds. I currently have a few tears in my meniscus which is preventing me to do rigorous walks. I will be scheduling surgery soon but that does not prevent me from tossing a ball around for a dog. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am looking to assist with in-home day/night(s) stays, drop-in visits and walks. I’m available anytime and look forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Although I do have a wonderful, small fenced-in yard, I live in an 800 sq ft home therefore, I think it's best to go where the pet is most-comfortable (their own home).
“Shiying has been excellent with our two dogs on their daily walks! She’s quick to respond and follows the instructions we’ve left for the dogs perfectly. I would highly recommend her for taking care of your pets!”
About: I’ve cared for a lot of animals, including pets with special needs and exotic animals, through my pet care business and across a variety of pet care apps. I don’t have any animal phobias, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of species. Schedule and availability: I’m available Monday through Sunday to care for your pets. I offer boarding, daycare, house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walks, and bathing and brushing services. Policies and requirements: I’m unable to care for pets that are aggressive, destructive, or pose a safety risk to people or other animals. I accept pets that aren’t spayed or neutered, though my rates will be double my standard rate for boarding or daycare. Female dogs who are expected to be in heat during their stay are charged triple my standard rate. All pets must be up to date on routine veterinary care care, including vaccinations and flea/tick prevention, to be eligible for any services. All pets must not be sick or showing signs of illness at the time of service to be eligible for any services. Multiple pets and pet profiles: Each pet must be individually listed on the booking request and have their own profile. Multiple pets may not be booked as a single pet. If all pets aren’t accurately listed, I reserve the right to modify the booking request to reflect the correct number of pets or refuse service. Pet pictures and updates: I typically send one update and picture of your pets per day. I generally don’t send messages after 7:00 PM Pacific Time. However, you’re welcome to message me after 7:00 PM, and I’ll get back to you when I’m available. Meet and greets: Meet and greets are optional but recommended for first-time clients. If you’re skipping the meet and greet, I require detailed care instructions for your pets. Your first meet and greet is free. If you want additional meet and greets, I require them to be booked as drop-in visits. Boarding and daycare: I board pets from multiple families at the same time. Pets from different families are kept separate and are never allowed to interact with each other. Dogs will receive one last potty break before bed around 9:00 PM Pacific Time before being crated overnight. Fresh water is always available throughout my home and in the crates. I use spacious, heavy-duty, 48-inch crates because your pets’ safety and comfort are my top priority. These crates are suitable for tiny dogs and XXL dogs alike. For owners interested in boarding their pets for more than three days, I require a 24-hour trial stay before I’ll consider accepting a longer boarding request. However, I don’t require a 24-hour trial stay for boardings that are three days or less. For daycare, I provide a safe, stress-free environment where your dogs can relax and have fun. Dogs will receive playtime, walks, and plenty of attention during their stay. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, energy level, and individual needs to ensure a positive daycare experience. For boarding and daycare services, I require owners to complete an online questionnaire that contains screening questions about their pets. This questionnaire helps me determine whether my home is a good fit for everyone involved. I also offer solo boarding and daycare. Solo care means that there will be no other animals in my home during your booking, allowing your pets to receive my full, undivided attention. I require a minimum of six month’s advance notice for solo care. Solo boarding starts at $300/night for the first pet, +$10/night for each additional dog, and +$5/night for each additional cat. Solo daycare starts at $200/night for the first dog and +$5/night for each additional dog. These services must be paid within two weeks of your initial inquiry in order to secure your requested dates. If payment is not received within that time, the dates will no longer be held and the reservation will be forfeited. All payments are non-refundable once received, even if you decide to cancel your reservation. Pet pick up and drop off: If you would like me to provide pick up and drop off services, you must provide secure, appropriately sized carriers for your pets. An additional $30 will be charged for pick ups that are 30-39 minutes late. An additional $40 will be charged for picks up that are 40-49 minutes late. An additional day of boarding/daycare will be charged for picks up that are 50+ minutes late. House sitting: When I’m house sitting, I’ll stay overnight and sleep in your home each night. I won’t invite other people over, and I won’t allow other animals into your home. If I leave your home, I’ll only be gone for a maximum of four hours at a time, unless an emergency or an unexpected delay prevents me from doing so. Watering plants is free for any plants on an automatic watering system, such as a sprinkler or irrigation system. For plants that require manual watering, watering is free for up to ten plants, with a charge of +$1 for every two additional plants if eleven or more plants require manual watering. I also offer 24-hour constant care for house sitting, starting at $600/night for the first pet, +$10/night for each additional dog, and +$5/night for each additional cat. With constant care, I remain in your home for the entire stay and won’t leave at any point unless there’s an emergency.

“Jadon did an incredible job taking care of my dog while I was out of town. He kept me well informed with updates on their walks, how they were interacting, and even dogs they met in my building. I always worry about my 10 year old pup while I am gone, but with Jadon’s pictures and feedback, this made for a memorable experience. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a friendly, great with dogs walker. I will happily be booking him again knowing how well he takes care of dogs and his thoroughness with communicating. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets, from cats and dogs to Guinea pigs and lizards. I’m adaptable, and can take care of anything you need. I’m excited and ready to meet and help out you and your babies! Fun fact about me: I’ve actually traveled to Pennsylvania to pet sit! My full time job doesn’t start until the middle of August, so until then I’m free! After September 8th to mid November, I’ll only be available weekends (Friday night to Monday morning.) After that, I am available until January. I am free all winter and summer long! I do have a part time job that I work 6-8 hours a couple days a week. I do not know my schedule far in advance, but I can request days off to accommodate you and your pets! Building trust with you and your pets is huge. I’d love to schedule a meet up before taking on caring for your pet so they can get to know me and be comfortable. I am adaptable and care for your animals no matter the circumstances
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets for years and taking care of family members pets as well. I’ve had multiple dogs and cats. I also have some experience with reptiles. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to watch and play with pets. I’m super flexible with schedules and can plan around anything. I have a fenced yard for my two dogs. Both dogs know, basic commands and enjoy enrichment activities. Both are fed twice a day and given plenty of attention.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and respect I have for animals. I don't see pet care as just a job—I see it as caring for a member of your family. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I believe in patience, kindness, and clear communication, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I'm happy to provide the care that's right for them. I'm also comfortable administering medications as directed, refreshing food and water, and helping maintain your pet's normal routine. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind while you're away. I'm a mom of three and work part-time in the medical field. My schedule allows me to provide dependable pet care while balancing my family and work responsibilities. On the days I work, I'm typically available after the afternoon/evening. On my days off, I have much more flexibility and am generally available throughout the day. I'm also available on weekends! If you have specific scheduling needs, feel free to reach out. I'll do my best to accommodate you and your pet's routine. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. They'll receive plenty of love, attention, and cuddles—if that's what they enjoy! I respect every pet's unique personality, boundaries, and routine, and I'll always care for them in the way that's best for them. For everyone's safety, dogs will always remain on a leash during walks unless we're in a secure, enclosed area with your permission. I'll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own, so you can feel confident they're in good hands while you're away.
About: I have been caring for animals for over 40 years and truly love being around them. Over the years I've owned and cared for dogs cats chickens goats and ducks so I'm very comfortable with different personalities needs and routines. I currently have a 17 lb rat terrier named Dutton who I've had since he was 12 weeks old. He is now almost 5 years old and absolutely the love of my life. Because of him I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and know they're being treated like family. My home is set up to be safe and comfortable for dogs I have a fully fenced backyard with a dog run, as well as a dog door so they can come and go in and out freely. I offer weekend overnight boarding and make sure every dog in my car gets attention affection and a calm loving environment. If you need longer boarding needs we can discuss that. Take care of something I generally enjoy and prioritize in my routine. During the weekdays Im home most of the day and maintain a consistent schedule at home with morning and evening care. On weekends I'm home much more and able to give pets my full attention. This is when I offer overnight boarding so your dog will have plenty of supervision interaction and a relaxed home environment. Because I have a dog door and a fully fenced backyard with a dog run dogs in my care can safely go in and out as needed I make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and treated like part of the family while they're with me. I have a fully fenced backyard. With the dog run. A dog door so they can go in and out when they please. This gives the dog an opportunity to venture into the backyard as they like.
About: I've had many pets since I was a young child. My grandparents had a farm so I've had experience with all sorts of animals. My dream is to have an animal sanctuary some day. I believe it's important to provide care to an animal in their home to limit stress and disruption to their normal routine. I have 3 dogs at home. Many of my home cleaning clients have animals so I'm exposed to all types of pets on a daily basis. Walking dogs provides exercise not only to the dog but for me as well. Providing care and a routine that the animal is used to is important to me. Communication with the pet parent is key to a successful experience with any animal.

“My girl was so well cared for during my time away. It's the first time I've left her with anyone other than family, and for so long. Kayla kept me informed of daily happenings and shared photos with me. That put my mind at ease while being so far away. I will definitely look to Kayla for future needs and I highly recommend her care.”
“Diana took great care of our dog Sadie. She walked her to the park and sent us pics through out the day. There were other dogs to play with, which Sadie loved. I'll use Diana again!”
“I have one easy going dog and one super nervous shy dog! I was really worried about leaving my nervous dog with “strangers” but they really went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable. She almost seemed disappointed coming home! Lovely family, would hire again!”
“My dog Remy had another great stay with Anastasia. I appreciate the awesome care and the pics/videos that she sent. I will definitely book with her anytime my dog needs boarding 😀”
“Liz was great with our dog while we were away and had great communication with us to put us at ease. She really took the time to assure us after we explained some of our dog's needs. She kept us updated and has lots of experience. We're very happy with her services and Pippin had a great time with her personal dogs and other boarders. Definitely recommend and rest assured she will look after your pet as well as she did ours. Thank you!”
“Jean was very kind and helpful. I was nervous leaving my puppy for the first time (I spent a long time making a decision and even visited other homes), but I felt comfortable leaving him there and I think he had lots of one on one time and was not alone very much. She seemed to really enjoy her time with my puppy (who is a bit of a handful despite his size). She checked in with photos every day. They went for lots of walks and play time and he seemed very well cared for overall. She even dropped him off for me as I was getting in on a late flight. She is obviously a loving,fun person and enjoys dogs a lot. I would recommend her to other dog owners. Thanks Jean!!”
“She did a great job with our Goldendoodle Daisy. She kept us updated with daily postings and pictures, and Daisy seemed to really enjoy her time with Becky. Would definintely use again!”
“Gary and Carol are wonderful! Waldo almost jumps out of the car with excitement when we drive up to their place. They are by no means close in proximity but the drive is well worth it!”
“Cassandra and Trevor were wonderful with our dog, Buddy. He took to them immediately at a meet and greet and subsequently stayed with them overnight. It was clear that they treated our dog with care and warmth. We enjoyed the images they sent to us. We will definitely use them again . Thank you for taking great care of him.”
“Great care of our active dog. She loved her evening cuddle times and sharing a people bed after a fun day of playing with new doggie friends. As a dog mom, I appreciated the timely updates and pics. Jared was considerate of my concerns of how our dog was adapting to the new temporary home.”
“Lisa did amazing with Tito! Regular updates and he really seemed to feel at home with her. Would highly recommend booking with Lisa if you want to feel certain your pup will be comfortable during their stay.”

“This was my first time using rover and I was a bit nervous leaving my dogs with someone that I didn’t know but Bobby and Linda made me feel very confident in their ability’s to take care of our dogs. They gave great updates with pictures and notes on what they did that day. I will recommend them to others and use them again in the future.”
“Jessica took such great care of PB while we were away! I can tell she kept him busy and active by how sleepy he’s been since coming home. He’s one happy guy, and it’s clear he had a great time with her!”
