“Rowan really enjoys spending time with Jennifer and her family. Jennifer is great to work with. She communicates well and often and always sends photos/videos. I am always comfortable when I know Rowan is safe and happy with Jennifer. You know your dog is happy to be there when they are excited to be there again...that's how Rowan is when spending time with Jennifer and her family.”
“Dave and Daniel provide a clean, comfortable and relaxed setting, with a shaded patio and pretty backyard. My guys, Buddy and Micky, looked relaxed and content in the picture and video D & D sent to me, and when I picked them up, it seemed like Buddy wanted to stay longer! I am confident that my guys are being provided excellent care and have already booked another stay. It's so nice to know they are safe, happy and well-tended! Thank you D & D!”
“This is the first time that I have left my puppies (ages 10 & 12) with anyone. I couldn't be happier. They came home happy. I loved getting pictures and updates every day. I highly recommend Jade if you are looking for someone to watch your furry babies”
About: I have years of experience caring for small and medium sized dogs and am the owner of two friendly pups, Minion, a 12 year old Lhasa Apso mix, and Gizmo, a 5 year old mini poodle. Because I focus exclusively on dogs under 40 pounds, I am highly familiar with the unique temperaments and safety needs of small and medium breeds. Working from home full time allows me to provide constant, dedicated supervision throughout the day, easily keeping up with your dog's specific feeding and bathroom schedules while keeping their anxiety low. Your dog will also have access to a fully fenced backyard, offering a completely secure space to get fresh air, stretch their legs, and enjoy supervised outdoor playtime with Minion and Gizmo without any risk of escaping. Whether your dog has high energy or is a calm companion who just wants to nap by my desk while I work, I provide a peaceful, attentive environment tailored to making them feel safe and right at home. Since I work from home full time, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. My workday is structured around the dogs, meaning guest pets are never left unattended and receive constant companionship. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks to step away from my screen and supervise outdoor playtime in my fully fenced backyard. Your dog will join my own friendly pups, Minion, a 12 year old Lhasa Apso mix, and Gizmo, a 5 year old mini poodle, for a consistent schedule of morning feeds, afternoon backyard romps, and plenty of desk side company while I work. Because my schedule is highly flexible, I can easily adapt to your dog's specific feeding, bathroom, or exercise timelines without any disruption to my work week. Trust and safety are the foundation of how I operate, which is why I provide care exclusively in my own home where I can maintain total oversight. To guarantee a secure environment, I strictly enforce a 40 pound weight limit for all guests. This ensures everyone is evenly matched with my own friendly dogs, Minion, a 12 year old Lhasa Apso mix, and Gizmo, a 5 year old mini poodle, eliminating the safety risks and anxiety that come with mixing large and small breeds. Because I work from home full time, your dog will never be left unattended and will receive constant supervision. Outdoor time is restricted to a fully fenced backyard where I am always physically present to monitor play and bathroom breaks. I build trust with owners through transparent communication, regular photo updates, and precise adherence to your dog's established feeding and routine instructions, providing a predictable and protective environment where your pet can feel completely safe.
About: Hi! I’m an educator who has always had a deep love and respect for nature and all living creatures. As a professional in education, patience, responsibility, structured care, and high attentiveness are built into everything I do. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have had a dog since I was 3 years old—she was my best friend and was by my side until she passed away at the age of 19. When I lived in Turkey, I had two dogs, and I brought both of my sweet girls with me when I moved to the USA. Sadly, they have both crossed the rainbow bridge and are now our little angels. ❤️ Today, our family includes two little dogs and one sweet cat. I have been caring for pets since elementary school and have always shared a special connection with them. Back in Turkey, I actively helped many people adopt dogs, including helping the school where I worked adopt a campus pet. I truly believe animals are family, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and deeply loved is second nature to me. Why Choose Us for Your Pet? Constant Care & Attention: My husband works from home, and I work from home most of the time as well. This means there is almost always someone around to give your pets endless love, companionship, and attention. Professional Responsibility & Safety: With my educational background, strict adherence to feeding/walk routines, safety protocols, and individualized care come naturally to me. A Loving Home Away from Home: A friend encouraged us to try Rover, and we jumped at the opportunity simply because my husband and I both love animals so much. We treat every guest like our own family in a calm, welcoming, and stress-free environment. Peace of Mind: You will receive prompt responses, clear communication, and frequent photo/video updates so you always know your furry family member is happy and thriving. We can’t wait to welcome your sweet pet into our home! 🐶🐱✨ My husband works from home, and I work outside the home for a maximum of three half-days a week. The rest of the time, I’m home. I understand that every dog is different, and I adjust my approach based on each dog’s personality, needs, and comfort level. For example, I recently cared for a large-breed puppy who wasn’t used to playing with small dogs. To make sure everyone was comfortable and safe, I divided my home into separate areas so he could have his own space while my dogs had theirs. I also moved my workspace next to his area so I could spend more time with him throughout the day. Since he had a lot of puppy energy, I took him on walks more frequently than I normally would to help him get his energy out and keep him happy and relaxed. My goal is always to understand each pet individually and create a routine where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Shelby did an awesome job! Went above and beyond and sent so many pictures. We have a husky and she brushed out her undercoat without being asked. Would definitely rebook with her again :)”
“Jordan is seriously a dog whisperer. His energy and confidence is God send. My dog Cedar can be reactive, barking, jumping, even nipping when meeting people but with Jordan, it was like a completely different dog. Calm, relaxed, and instantly comfortable. I was in total shock. Even around another dog (which normally worries me), Cedar was in dog heaven. No issues at all. I went in nervous and left totally at ease. THANK YOU Jordan for making my vacation that much better. If you’ve got a challenging dog, Jordan is your guy, Just go with Jordan.”
“Christina is communicative, flexible, and caring. Our dog was feeling a bit nervous in a new environment and Christina did her best to support our dog while we were away. When we picked up our dog she was happy and healthy! Thank you, Christina!”
“Gemma and her family were so sweet, and took the best care of Rusty. She was kind enough to provide updates while we were away, and he seemed to genuinely enjoy his time there. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first stay with Diana and we couldn’t be more pleased! Communication was great from the meet and greet through every step in the process. Diana sent wonderful pictures and videos during the week and our dog had a great time playing with the other “guests.” She was also patient with our dog’s quirks, which is always comforting. Diana was so considerate and diligent about making sure Ellie was safe and happy. We definitely recommend Diana and will definitely request her services again!”
“Our fun loving Bowie had a great time with Michael and his family. Michael shared daily updates and pictures of our girl living her best life. Highly recommend, especially if your pup would thrive in a family environment.”
“Truly fantastic communication and knowledge of dogs. Good processes in place to stage dog introductions and separate dogs, if needed. Was able to conduct a meet and greet on short notice for both sitter and her dogs. Chesty was happy when dropped off and picked up. Recommend 100%.”
“Fantastic Rover!! We were in from out of town looking for someone to keep our most loved fur-child. It's always a challenge to feel comfortable with a new person when you are looking to trust your baby for safe and quality care. Elizabeth exceeded our expectations! Not only does she have the absolute best set up for care, but she obviously had genuine concern for the comfort and enjoyment our girl would experience during her stay. A great communicator as well, we will be back next time we have a need and Elizabeth has room for us! Elizabeth, thank you so much for making us feel so confident in your care of Grandiosa!”
“Kathrine is an AMAZING sitter! I went out of town for 5 days and left my pup with her at her home. I immediately felt comfortable leaving her there when I dropped her off. She sent pics, videos, and updated me on all things (eating, pooping, etc.). Her dog, Ophelia, was the sweetest companion and I could tell her and my dog were besties from the pics she sent! They went on multiple walks a day, and even a weekend adventure! I will definitely be using Kathrine again in the future!”
“Allison was amazing with our pup! Pepper loved her right away and I could tell from the meet and greet that this was a great fit. Allison was communicative, engaged and helpful with every step of setting up our dog’s boarding. She sent pictures and updates during our trip so we knew our girl was happy and cozy. We are excited to have found someone we feel so comfortable leaving our girl with and will definitely be connecting with her again in the future!”
“Tawna and John took great care of Pete at their doggie bed and breakfast. That have a ton of fenced space for Pete to run and play with other dogs. He came home tired and happy. We received happy doggie pictures while we were away, and felt like Pete was safe and in good hands with Tawna and John.”

“We so appreciate Emily and her care of our cats and home. She was communicative and very flexible when we had to adjust dates last minute. Will be requesting Emily’s services again in the near future!”
“My'chaela was booked last minute to care for our 15 yo cat, and did a wonderful job, stopping by twice a day to feed & medicate. We booked her again in a few weeks. We have found a good,reliable pet sitter and are looking forward to having My'Chaela provide that care”
“She is reliable and sends pictures of your animals. Thanks Molly for taking care of my cats, much appreciated! They were well fed, played with and nothing was amiss.”
“This was my time using Rover and David made it a great experience. He came by to meet Isabelle and see the job to make sure we were both comfortable. He answered some questions about how Rover works. I was mid-flight when he arrived and he reached out to me to let me know how Isabelle was doing. And he was very prompt in responding when I asked for updates.”
About: I own a husky mix and have for three years. I regularly bath, brush and walk him. I’m very patient with animals. I enjoy being around dogs because they’re super smart and definitely steal your heart. Dogs are more than a mans best friend, they’re family. As I begin in the dog care world I would like to be full time and help families by providing care for their furry babies. It’s nice to be able to take a vacation or a trip and know that your dog is being well taken care of, allowing you to enjoy time with friends and family. I will frequently send pictures and updates so you can see how everything is going and and feel included. I have self-taught myself how to trim and file dogs nails and how to brush excess fur, to prevent matted and tangled coats. I also enjoy bathing them. I know pet care can add up and be expensive so I’m willing to negotiate rates depending on the distance I have to drive and the number of services your needing. Feel free to ask any questions because I’m here to help you!
“Kerri was new to us. Over the week we were gone it was clear she took time to get to know our three Kitty 'kids' and worked to make them comfortable. We liked the pictures every day and could see that the kids warmed up to her over the week and were definitely content and well taken care of. Her service was great. Thanks Kerri!”
About: I love the way that cats are they're very unpredictable One minute they're all happy and praying the next minute they're jumping on top of your head, I like that about cats I love to play with them too they're so fun. I got my first cat when I was 6 years old her name was precious I'll never forget her it was the best day of my life I think all animals including cats are precious.
“My experience with Melody was fantastic she went above and beyond, truly the best pet sitting experience I have had. This was a super last minute booking after my previous sitter cancelled and she responded immediately and was willing to take over and show up instantly. She was super communicative and made me feel very comfortable, even going as far as giving me updates when she was leaving the house for less than 30 minutes. Not only did she send plenty of adorable photos of my cats but she cleaned up as well leaving my house in better shape than I left it. I would recommend Melody in a heartbeat she is the best.”
“Zuri is a wonderfully attentive sitter who provides loving, personalized care for my orange tabby. Each visit feels special, and this time was no exception—Zuri and Enoch even created a beautiful painting together! Their creativity and warmth make every experience memorable.”
About: Reliable and loving cat sitter dedicated to keeping your feline friends happy, safe, and comfortable while you are away. I provide personalized care, daily feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, and plenty of playtime and cuddles. Count on me for daily photo updates and total peace of mind! 🐾

“Zuri is an exceptional sitter, I’m so thankful to found her, she’s always been sweet and kind to reply and take care of my big boy. I’m sure my puppy is always happy to be at her house. She takes some adorable pictures and videos and send it to me. An amazing sitter that I love!!”
“Was able to take on a last-second request and was flexible. Excellent communication throughout the whole process. My pup was visibly bummed to be saying bye which just goes to show how well taken care of he was!”

“Loki loved spending time with Riley. Riley was excellent to work with, very communicative about all aspects of care and scheduling. We will definitely book with Riley again in the future”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs(my own) and others since I was 10. Recently adopted a 3 year old Malinois mix who is a sweetie and really good with other dogs. Since then I have interacted with a bunch of dogs and learned a lot. Our Malinois is trained and loves all types of dogs. We have taught her some tricks so maybe I can teach your dog some too 😎. I’m currently not working so your dog would be my primary job. I can take them to parks, on hikes or whatever requests are given I deeply respect every individual pet and their specific needs. Whether it’s taking them to the park or taking a nice stroll on the neighborhood so they have enough time to smell every plant, I take great care in every aspect of your pet’s stay/care with me. I live in an apartment, with plentiful grassy areas and park nearby, but also don’t mind going to a client’s house. At the end of the day, I care for every pet the same way I care for my own, with compassionate care and safety at the core.
About: Hi there and thank you for taking the time to view my profile! If you're looking for a place where your dog will be treated like a member of the family while you're away, you've come to the right spot. Since the day I was born, I have been surrounded by all sorts of breeds (herding, working, hounds, toys, sporting)…you name it. There isn't a breed or size I don't adore. This has taught me that every dog is uniquely special and I truly love them all. After I recently lost my sweet and wonderful 16.5 year old Blue Heeler, Sooky, I have so much love to share and I'd be thrilled to give it to your fur baby! Whether your dog enjoys running around in my fully fenced yard or snuggling up by the fire when it's cold, they'll get cozy and comfortable care while they are with me. I'm experienced with dogs at all life stages, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. I can also handle things like giving medication or if you're working on commands/hand signals (I trained Sooky by hand signals only…no words) at home, I am more than happy to keep up that consistency while they're here! As a stay at home mom, I'm usually home all day so I can provide lots of company, attention, and affection! Treats are free with your permission! The only times I have to leave are for quick school runs for my kiddos, who are 3 and 6. My kids have been surrounded by dogs since they were born so they love dogs but they also understand some dogs need space and time to acclimate. With that said, if your pup is coming to visit, I kindly ask that they should be okay with kids and other dogs. Thanks for taking the time to read, please reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your fur love. I am 100% invested in creating a positive experience for both your pup and you. I look forward to having your pup steal my heart. P.S. Just something deeply personal to me. I take huge pride in my natural connection with dogs, I have heard countless times over the years "they never warm up to people that fast!” so know they will be in a loving environment. P.S.S. Please know I am happy to give you photo/video updates so you have complete peace of mind. As a stay at home mom, I have a lot of flexibility. This means I can really focus on what your dog needs each day and tailor it to them. If you have an energetic pup who needs frequent potty breaks and active fun, I’m here for it! If you have a wise senior who just wants a quiet spot to snooze with periodic belly rubs or back scratches, I’m here for that too. Besides taking my kids to and from school in the morning and afternoon, I'm usually home. This means your dog won't be left alone for long hours. Whether your dog likes morning fun, lazy afternoon naps or a cozy evening wind down, I'll make sure your pup has a wonderful time with me. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities for every guest pup. I want them to have a "home away from home". My home features a fully fenced, secure backyard where dogs can safely run, explore, and play under my constant supervision. Inside, they’re welcome to roam freely, play with toys or snuggle up where they please. To keep the environment safe and happy for all, I will make sure every pup is friendly with children and comfortable playing alongside other dogs. I will be sure to supervise all interactions and treat your dog with the same care I’d give my own. You’ll receive photo/video check-ins during the day so you can see just how safe, happy, and settled your fur baby is!
“Tess was available with short notice. She was able to wrangle my energetic dogs through their first babysitting experience. They were with her for a couple of hours and were extremely comfortable. Thanks, Tess!”
“We brought our dog to Whitney’s house for three days while we were in the area for work and she took great care of him! She was super flexible since we needed to pick him up at different times each day. And our dog was happy and well exercised when we got him in the evening. If we are ever back in the area again and need babysitting we will definitely bring our puppy back. Thanks Whitney!”
“Biscuit is a little nervous around new people and Tracy was able to put him at ease! He walked with her and cuddled which he doesn't do freely. Great job and I will call Tracy again.”
“Danielle was wonderful with our shy, anxious rescue. She communicated well and asked plenty of great questions, was kind and patient, and has a calm demeanor. We weren't able to do a meet and greet in advance since I was traveling through, which made it even more impressive that my pup warmed up to her right away and relaxed so quickly. Responsible, professional service. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a dog lover who was born and raised with dogs. I have raised 2 dogs from pups of my own and cared for my late elderly girl at the end of her life. I have 18 years of experience caring for and training my own dogs as well, caring for family pets, and work experience in a vet clinic. I am a stay at home mom and college student. My schedule is flexible and allows me to be home the majority of the time. I provide respectful and responsible service. I have a secure, dog-friendly home with a large fenced backyard. My lab Potter will love to play and run with your fur baby!
“Gayle was so good with our girls. She helped them get through their nerves upon our departure and was wonderful throughout the even after some displays of poor manners early on. She sent pictures and updates that kept our minds at ease. Her setup is great for the dogs and they made themselves comfortable. Can't say enough great about her!”
About: Hi! I have experience with all different types of animals. I have a 7 year old terrier mix that gets along with other dogs. I used to foster and took care of all types of dogs. I’m a nurse so I have experience with giving meds. When I go to work, my boyfriend is at home and your pet will not be alone. I work 3 days a week but my boyfriend works from home and is home all of the time. We can take your dog to the park and go on walks at least twice a day. We have a two bedroom house with plenty of space inside. We have a small outdoor space for your dog to sniff but we will go on daily walks with your dog.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of pets. For over twenty years, friends, families, business associates and everybody's been happy and i'm even animal cpr trained I am currently not working. Uh, so I have lots of time to spend with your pets playing with them. I have six acres, and i'm always outside with the dog, so never outside alone. I have a partially fenced yard. I have 6 acres, and I have trails through the property. But I never let the dogs go out by themselves. I always walk them through my property at least four times a day.
“Bridget had a great time with Novely. Novely was very kind and caring with Bridget. With the photos and video Novely sent I could see that Bridget ran and played in the yard with Novely’s dog and had a fun day.”
“Natalia is the right choice for a pet sitter. I’m so glad I found her. She did amazing with my dog. She’s friendly, professional, and reliable. Plus, she takes amazing photos! My dog came home each day happier than ever and was always excited to see her again. I could tell he was taken care of well. She also has a very clean house! I highly recommend Natalia.”

“For several months David has been stopping by my West Salem residence practically every weekend to walk my small dog. I really appreciate his consistent communication with me. He has been patient with my dog as it took awhile for him to warm up to David. I would recommend David to anyone needing a pet care. .”
“Was super patient with our newly adopted dog and kept me updated on his activities! I was so stressed at work because we hadnt left him alone yet since getting him and I didnt know what kind of destruction he would do to the house. Auna made sure the house was proofed when he refused to go back in his kennel which helped with peace of mind! She is awesome!”
About: I have worked with many different breeds such as pit bulls, boxers, mastiffs, golden retrievers and many more. Each had their own unique needs and personalities. I am willing to work with any breed even with special needs. I have experience with many different animals not just dogs and cats. I have worked with horses, bearded dragons, a few birds and a few more. If your animals needs care i will do it. I have a dog of my own and a bearded dragon so pet care is in my everyday life and so your pet is not much different. I can not board animals in my home cause i have a high anxiety senior dog so bringing any animal in to my home will not work but i will definitely stay at yours cause its a comfort thing for them. Its there own home. It not fair to kick them out of their own home. I have worked with animals for 3 years and been around them my whole life and i never had a problem and i am good at communicating with owners and i will ask questions if needed amd they can ask if needed also.
“We love having Aidan come visit our pup! He loves his time with her. Aidan is great at keeping me updated on her schedule and what they do during their daily play time/walks.”
About: Cats? I'm your person - I have 9! Concerning Kitties: I have experience with medication and higher-needs care. One of my cats developed neurological FIP, and my partner and I helped care for her throughout treatment, including administering medication and closely monitoring her health. She recovered, and that experience taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when caring for an animal. As a full-time student, pet care fits really well into my routine! My schedule gives me flexibility throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and around my classes. I’m looking to use that flexibility doing something I genuinely enjoy while earning some extra income. I’m happy to work with each owner’s schedule and make sure their pets receive consistent, dependable care while they’re away. I take every pet’s routine seriously and make sure to follow the owner’s instructions closely, especially for animals with specialized needs. With reptiles and amphibians, I understand how important proper temperatures, humidity, feeding schedules, enclosure security, misting, and species-specific care can be. I’m also comfortable with insects, rodents, and other feeding routines that some sitters may not be experienced with.

I’ll always make your pet’s safety and comfort a priority. I can crate your dog if needed, follow their normal routine, and give them plenty of supervision, playtime, and attention. 🐶❤️

I I will cuddle and play with your baby because that is what I truly love to do. Your pet will NOT be alone or sad at all! Daily walks x 2 and lots of playtime included. Long and short term care available. Any information about your fur baby is important to me so please provide as much information as possible. Do they like to be lazy or active? What are their likes and dislikes? Do they get along well with other dogs at home? Does your pup like to be snuggled or not? Feeding schedule and walking schedule? (If you have a set time, I can keep that schedule as well.) I am available 24/7. I work full time taking care of pets. (My Own dogs can stay with my Mom if I am staying at your house!) Safety is my first priority! I do not want to be responsible for teaching an aggressive dog how to socialize. Please advise if your dog has any likes or dislikes that I should be aware of.
About: Im passionate about all animals! When your pet stays with me they will spend the day doing puzzles, playing on the pawsome playground, and enjoying TLC. I offer new chew toys and treats and lots of love! I am a homemaker with free availability, I wake up early and spend a lot of time outdoors. I am flexible with schedules and routines to fit your needs. I have a nice sized backyard and lots of indoor activities: puzzles, new chew toys and more. Lots of cuddles, playtime, and treats are shared and given throughout the day.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 20 years and genuinely love caring for animals. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including senior pets, and I’m comfortable giving medications and following detailed care instructions. I’m a true animal lover—the highlight of my day is getting to pet a dog I meet or having the neighbor cat stop by for a visit! At home, we have a corgi and three cats of our own, so I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also a longtime professional nanny and family assistant, so I have many years of experience being trusted in other people’s homes. I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s normal routine. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, medication when needed, and photo updates during my visits. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits really well into my daily routine! I work as a nanny/family assistant, and now that the children I care for are in school, I have plenty of daytime availability for dog walks and drop-in visits. My schedule allows me to be flexible throughout the day, which is especially helpful for pets who need a midday walk, potty break, meal, medication, or just some company while their family is away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I have many years of experience working in clients’ homes and understand the trust that comes with caring for both your pets and your home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I’m respectful of each pet’s personality and boundaries, and I’m happy to send photos and updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and absolutely love them. I have a 2.5 year old aussiedoodle who is my baby. I’ve house sat and pet sat for many families spanning from new puppies to large boxers. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, I’m a foster parent for Safehaven Humane Society where I’ve cared for animals from 2 week old puppies and new kittens to new Mom dogs saved from hoarding situations. I am good with more timid dogs and also dogs with lots of energy. I look forward to meeting you! I am working part time and taking online classes so I would love to get out and go for walks or have dogs come hang out with my and my puppy (Juno)! We have a nice size backyard that is all fenced in and another friendly dog to keep your dog company! Our dog was used in evaluations for new dogs at her daycare, and gets along with everyone!
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 8 but began house sitting when I turned 16. I have experienced taking care of dogs, cats , horses and even chickens. while looking after your fur babies they will be given excellent care as if they were my own. A love to photograph animals so with my care come a free mini photoshoot. With your permission of course! My 4 year old black lab absolutely loves to play with others. So if your pup needs a buddy to burn off some energy she’s your pup . I work 3 pm to 11:30pm but I’m free the rest of the time to do pop in or walks. If I’m staying at your house I bring in my own food and drink. And stay with your fur baby the whole time. If I’m in home sitting I do a minimum of 3 30 min walks a day. 1 before work ,after work and before bed. And depending on your fur babies energy I’ll add in extra play time if needed. I’m stuck to strictly feeding schedules so whatever time you have them eat I’ll make sure to do they same. To help keep them in their normal routine. If I’m doing a drop in I can go walks /runs for about an hour unless you need me to take them for more time.
About: I have been to go to pet sitter in my neighborhood all of my life. I've dealt with one neighbor's dog in particular who is a difficult dog and requires medication. Pet care is always my number one priority because if someone was taking care of my dog, I would want the same level of care that I provide. I like to learn and also know the routine of the animal I'm watching to best fit their needs and learn or change when necessary.
About: I have grown up being surrounded by dogs! My dad always had dogs in our home. I raised my pitbull/lab mixed breed dog Nala from when I was the age of Ten until she passed away when I was 21 years old. She taught me a lot about being a pet owner as well as a person! She was my best friend🤍 I am a very active, responsible, and empathetic person! I enjoy being outdoors going on long walks, hikes, and runs! I’m always down for a furry friend to tag along :) My current work schedule is 6am to 6pm Sunday through Tuesday :) I am available throughout the week on my days off for some pet care! I am respectful of other spaces! I like to stay occupied and am willing to go on adventures with your fur baby! I am full of love to give for animals. My full time job is caregiving so I’m the kind of person to place others needs before my own, but I do prioritize my health so I’m always in tip top shape for whoever/whatever needs my attention!

“This is the first time that I have left my puppies (ages 10 & 12) with anyone. I couldn't be happier. They came home happy. I loved getting pictures and updates every day. I highly recommend Jade if you are looking for someone to watch your furry babies”
“Shelby did an awesome job! Went above and beyond and sent so many pictures. We have a husky and she brushed out her undercoat without being asked. Would definitely rebook with her again :)”
“Jordan is seriously a dog whisperer. His energy and confidence is God send. My dog Cedar can be reactive, barking, jumping, even nipping when meeting people but with Jordan, it was like a completely different dog. Calm, relaxed, and instantly comfortable. I was in total shock. Even around another dog (which normally worries me), Cedar was in dog heaven. No issues at all. I went in nervous and left totally at ease. THANK YOU Jordan for making my vacation that much better. If you’ve got a challenging dog, Jordan is your guy, Just go with Jordan.”
“Christina is communicative, flexible, and caring. Our dog was feeling a bit nervous in a new environment and Christina did her best to support our dog while we were away. When we picked up our dog she was happy and healthy! Thank you, Christina!”
“Our fun loving Bowie had a great time with Michael and his family. Michael shared daily updates and pictures of our girl living her best life. Highly recommend, especially if your pup would thrive in a family environment.”
“Truly fantastic communication and knowledge of dogs. Good processes in place to stage dog introductions and separate dogs, if needed. Was able to conduct a meet and greet on short notice for both sitter and her dogs. Chesty was happy when dropped off and picked up. Recommend 100%.”
“Fantastic Rover!! We were in from out of town looking for someone to keep our most loved fur-child. It's always a challenge to feel comfortable with a new person when you are looking to trust your baby for safe and quality care. Elizabeth exceeded our expectations! Not only does she have the absolute best set up for care, but she obviously had genuine concern for the comfort and enjoyment our girl would experience during her stay. A great communicator as well, we will be back next time we have a need and Elizabeth has room for us! Elizabeth, thank you so much for making us feel so confident in your care of Grandiosa!”
“Kathrine is an AMAZING sitter! I went out of town for 5 days and left my pup with her at her home. I immediately felt comfortable leaving her there when I dropped her off. She sent pics, videos, and updated me on all things (eating, pooping, etc.). Her dog, Ophelia, was the sweetest companion and I could tell her and my dog were besties from the pics she sent! They went on multiple walks a day, and even a weekend adventure! I will definitely be using Kathrine again in the future!”
“Allison was amazing with our pup! Pepper loved her right away and I could tell from the meet and greet that this was a great fit. Allison was communicative, engaged and helpful with every step of setting up our dog’s boarding. She sent pictures and updates during our trip so we knew our girl was happy and cozy. We are excited to have found someone we feel so comfortable leaving our girl with and will definitely be connecting with her again in the future!”
“Tawna and John took great care of Pete at their doggie bed and breakfast. That have a ton of fenced space for Pete to run and play with other dogs. He came home tired and happy. We received happy doggie pictures while we were away, and felt like Pete was safe and in good hands with Tawna and John.”
“Madison took great care of Zeus and sent us fun photo updates frequently. She was very accommodating, communicative and flexible and we look forward to having her watch Zeus again during our next trip. Highly recommended!”
“Riley was great and my fur baby had a great time playing with her pups. She sent me pictures and updates on how my fur baby was doing. If I end up back in the area and needing dog care again I will be contacting her.”
“Upon arrival, Joseph greeted my dog and showed an interest in her. Because this was our dog’s first time with him, I appreciated that he inquired if she is food aggressive and if she enjoys playing fetch. My request for photos was honored along with a brief narrative update. Joseph was quick to respond to my messages. I feel comfortable with having my dog stay with Joseph again. 🐾”
“Thor was amazing with my cat while I was on a long vacation. Made sure he took his daily meds and I got regular photo updates! He was also very flexible and accommodating when I made a mistake in my booking and asked to a drop-off later in the day. I recommend Thor very highly.”
“Philly is our go to! He's amazing with both our pups who are both so different. One is totally anxious and nervous and one is a total bully/ jerk, lol. They both love Philly and their time with his family.”
