“Rebecca was amazing. She was flexible when we were running late for the drop off. She was very communicative. The facility was very clean. She also provided us with pictures of our happy dog hanging out. This went a long way toward leaving our dog with someone new.”

“We were very concerned about leaving our 8 year old fur baby with someone we didn’t know and we couldn’t have been more happy with Kristopher and his wife. They are a sweet couple and obviously love animals. We were thrilled to receive daily photos of a happy puppy. We highly recommend Kristopher and will be using him again when we next need a sitter!”

“Yet another great stay with Gary and Carol. Waldo can barely contain his joy and excitement when we drive up to their place and goes full steam ahead to their front door. They’re the best!”

“Louise was quick to respond to my request, and when I spoke to her on the phone she had many questions about Wicked. She wanted to make sure it was a good fit and that I would feel comfortable as I'm very protective over my fur-baby. During the stay, Louise sent me many pictures, and so I felt relieved that Wicked was having a great stay. Louise's dogs are very calm too, so I was happy Wicked had some friends to play with. I would definitely recommend Louise as she's a caring host.”

“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!”


“Love love love it all that they provided to our Tofu❤️Absolutely recommend Linda and her family hosting your fur babies. Our Tofu spent his best two weeks at their place with lots of walks, treats, and even baths when needed. They asked many questions before hand to get to know Tofu and arranged a visit as well. It was such a relief for us during our international trip where we had no access to text messages and major social media. However, Linda still offered to contact us via WhatsApp in order to send daily updates.”


“Peggie was so great with our Charlie! Our daughter has a very hard time being separated from her, but Peggie did a great job at keeping in contact and making sure we knew Charlie was happy and healthy. It was a huge relief to have her in such good hands when we couldn't take her with us on our trip.”

“Our dogs came home happy and received such good care from Cassandra and Trevor. They communicated very well with lots of fun photo updates. We will definitely book again!”

“Julie and Barry were amazing with JoJo! It was my partner and I’s first time having someone outside of family watching her and they made her feel at home. We got daily photo updates and they’re both lovely people. We will definitely be booking again next time we need someone to watch JoJo. :)”
“Sarah was amazing, and my pup Bingo did great! This was my first time leaving him with someone who wasn't family, and I was so anxious that she made the whole process so easy with pictures and updates when I asked for them, and she ensured I had answers to questions I hadn't even asked yet! I will be using her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone! So happy I found her.”

“The BEST sitter ever! Becky did an amazing job watching our two pups. We got so many updates and cute photos! We were worry free the whole time knowing our dogs were in good hands! Becky is such a sweet warm person, and goes above and beyond with her dog care (her pets Kito and Tatter were amazing playmates for our babbies). We will for sure be a returning client in the future :)”

“My dog had a blast staying with Pam! She was so sweet with him, and between that and her huge backyard, I could tell that my dog would miss his stay with her. She was communicative and sent pictures throughout his boarding, and I look forward to booking with her again. Thanks Pam!”

“Monty had a wonderful time a Dominique’s! I was very confident he would be happy there and was not disappointed. I loved the pictures and videos, and would trust her with my little guy any time.”

“Mackenzie has taken good care of Cleo several times and I appreciate her every time! Went on a trip and left my baby with Mackenzie and she was great at letting me know how Cleo was doing. Cleo was going through some issues and Mackenzie helped me not be a ball of anxiety while I was on my trip. I would 100% recommend Mackenzie!”

“This was the first time away from home for our dog and he had a GREAT time! Cassie totally put our mind at ease with lots of pictures and videos. He loved playing with his new friends and had tons of toys to play with. We highly recommend Cassie and will definitely have Odie go back!”

“Daun did an excellent job taking care of our cats. She really went the extra mile, taking plenty of time to play with them and keep the litter tidy. She sent us plenty of updates and was great to work with. Highly recommended!”

“Haley is absolutely fantastic! I was very worried about leaving my kitten alone for the first time for a weekend, however she made me feel very much as ease about it. My kitten appreciated the cuddles and love. Thank you again! ☺️”

“We have a senior cat that is 13 years old and is on medication…she is truly family, a purrfect companion and so well-loved. Caitlyn was highly recommended to us thru referral. We are typically very protective over our kitty especially with her tender stages; but upon meet and greet session with Cailyn we soon became at ease. She was professional, prompt/punctual, responsive, also had warm people and effective communication skills which were important to us. Our kitty who typically runs and hides with those unfamiliar; was extremely cautious during Cailyn’s initial visit but yet stayed present in the room with curiosity (again she usually bolts/hides with strangers so surprising). During our 4 day vacation out of town Cailyn took great care of her even checking up on her twice daily to make sure her food and water bowls were refreshed; kitty litter changed, keep her company and to ensure she received her kitty medications on time. She followed all my specific instructions and requests to a T. Although we were several states away on vacation we had great accesses to oneanother even with nice photo updates of our pet she would send us. We would highly recommend Cailyn for those looking for an extremely responsible, reliable, pleasant and purrfect caregiver for your pets. You’ll as well as your furry companions will be in great hands with Cailyn.”
“This was my first time using Rover for pet sitting. Emily was easy to communicate with and responsive, came the times I booked her for, and took good care of my girl Scarlet for two days. I would book her again if visiting this area in the future and recommend her services.”

About: I’ve completed numerous house and pet sits through another website (with all 5-star reviews) and I’ve also cared for many cats for friends while they travel. I understand that cats each have their own personality - some love cuddles and company, while others need quiet space and gentle respect. I’m patient, observant, and good at earning a cat’s trust on their terms. I make sure litter boxes are kept clean, fresh water is always available, and feeding routines are followed precisely. I also have experience administering oral medications and caring for cats with special diets or health needs.

Not to mention all the Pets they could ask for! I also have a new tag along! My baby girl is 8 months old and will tag along with me with walks and visits(if allowed). We love to go for walks and get out into nature, so your pup will have tons of fun with us. I live on a 13 acre lot so there's lots of room for your fuzzy friends to play. Metzler Park and Campground is about a 5 minute drive away. I am currently a stay at home mom with a toddler. I have all the time to hang out with your pup! We will give unconditional attention and love to any animal that comes into our home.

About: I was Blessed with a Tortoiseshell cat for 15 years named Penelope Rose. Pets truly help us through the hardest times of our lives and we help them in return. They do find us, for sure. She was developed cat asthma (rare) and medication was not helping her so I put her down and that was my last pet years ago. I grew up having a grey Siamese cat. Both cats followed me everywhere. Every cat I meet has a unique personality that I love getting to know each and every one. Cats make me feel very calm & relaxed and I feel I have that same effect on them as well. I like the idea of sometime developing a cat toy line because I used to make so many homemade, safe ones when I was growing up. I understand Dogs & Cats and they seem to get me too. I used to foster a 3-legged handi-capable cat and an amazing 1-eyed cat (who is older than 20 years and is now blind). She keeps on going that sweet girl! Shes got a great will to live. I’m familiar with wound-care and post-vet care. I’m in tune with cats and understand calming techniques to make their environment pleasant & comfortable.
“My cat is very shy when it comes to meeting new people. As expected, she hid when Rachael came for a meet & greet, but she came out from hiding much quicker than anticipated and even allowed Rachael to pet her. I felt comfortable leaving her in Rachael’s care knowing she was comfortable with a new person!”

“Shayla is amazing and awesome, first time leaving my lil dude with any but family and she is now part of the family! She sent me videos of my lil dude, made sure he was loved & played with, and she made sure that he good to go until I came home. Highly recommend Shayla to take care of your furry kids!! Thank you Shayla for taking care of my lil dude!”

“Rebecca responded quickly to all of our questions and was patient. We had never put our dog Izzie in a kennel before. The photos of their facilities gave a good sense of what the dogs were provided with inside and outside, and photos of Izzie Rebecca sent to us on the days Rebecca was caring for Izzie were fun and reassuring. Lastly, their roaming farm animals were a delight. We will kennel our dog with Rebecca whenever we are in this part of the Columbia Gorge.”

“Mackenzie is a perfect find, super accommodating, extremely responsive,very kind, and great with our Luna. Look forward to continuing with daycare and Luna loves going and staying the day”

“Melba stayed here while we went to a show at the Edgefield Amphitheater. Gary and Carol had no problem with our late pick up, and they sent updates and pictures. Everything was easy and smooth. We wouldn't hesitate to have Gary and Carol dogsit again if we come back to this area!”

“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.”

“Cassie is fantastic! We see her regularly for doggy daycare. Zoey loves playing with all the other dogs and has learned much. She’s excited in the car headed there and needs a solid nap when I pick her up.”

“Julie and Barry are an amazing team ... quickly tuning into Tashi's personality and habits. When we came to pick him up, he was so relaxed and comfortable that he greeted us at the door as if we were visitors to his home, with Barry beside him. Clearly he was treated as family.”

“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!”

“Charlene has been hands-down, the BEST dog sitter we’ve ever had. The amount of love, care, fun, and exercise she gave our dog, Ginkgo, was truly exceptional. I’m someone who loves pictures and updates, and Charlene provided beautiful pictures and updates without prompting during Ginkgo’s 4 day stay. He got to go on runs, long hikes, and even got a pup cup with her daughter. He came home each day absolutely exhausted, which was amazing for my husband after working long days. We are so grateful we found Charlene!”

“Alex and his family have been amazing! Their property is the perfect place for dogs to play! It's easy to see how much they love dogs with how they take care for all their needs. Alex is very accommodating, communication is fantastic and I get to watch my little girl play via Instagram and the many videos that are posted there. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”

About: I have grown up with pets and even found my first job working at an animal boarding house. You could say I learned to become a professional dog walker at a young age. I have two high anxiety dogs and have been working on their social skills and coping methods to help their anxiety. I work full-time from home but take frequent breaks to let the dogs go out and play and take multiple walks a day to give them exercise. Weekends are mostly free to cuddle and to play with the fur babies. When house sitting or boarding pets I stay close so they be taken care of as needed. I keep my own pets on a schedule feeding, potty breaks and play with puzzles to earn treats. I will follow clients care guidelines to maintain consistency and keep them comfortable while their owners are gone.
“Emma is amazing! She is so knowledgeable about dogs and asked all the right questions before we brought our pup over for daycare. We received pictures and a video during the day and were updated on how things were going. When we picked up our pup, she smelled amazing and was wearing a cute little bandana! We are so happy we found Emma’s place and will keep sending our pup back!”

“Michelle took good care of Savannah while she was recovering from surgery and could not be left alone. Michelle provided daily pics of Savannah and Savannah seemed to enjoy interacting with the other dogs.”

“Caitlyn has been walking our dogs for a few months and she has become their friend! Our dogs really love when she pulls up into the driveway for an adventure. She’s always exactly on time and an excellent communicator. We are super lucky to have her and would recommend her 100%!”

About: My name is Emily and animals are a major part of my life. I grew up in a home where my mom was a dog trainer for 40+ years. We provided doggy day care and boarding service in our home. I have lots of experience with dogs, their behaviors and personalities, and how they truly bring happiness to people's lives. I have also volunteered my time at different animal rescues and have done an abundant amount of fundraising for animal causes. I have experience working, spending time, and recognizing animal needs; large and small dog breeds. I grew up as a child showing horses on a national level. Growing up on a horse farm, I trained horses, and taught children and adults how to ride. Animals need love and compassion. I love to exercise, and be outside, hiking, swimming, long walks, mountain biking, longboarding, or snowboarding. I enjoy taking my dogs and others to different dog parks. It's easy to lose track of time when the dogs are having fun with one another. I am originally from Vermont. I lived in Colorado for two years where I finished my bachelors degree. Now I live in Oregon, where I will be attending Accupuncture school. My two dogs Luna and Eve are my entire life. I have a passion for healing ourselves, animals, and the planet together. It would be an honor to love and care for your pets. I currently taking a gap year before graduate school. I am available all day to give your animal the care they desire. I have a car for transportation I have long term house sitting & daycare experience. I have two dogs who are friendly with others dogs, mine are kennel trained, but I do not own a kennel. I have dog training experience for most of my life. My home has a big fenced in yard. I enjoy taking my dogs and others on hikes, walks, and swimming. I believe that our animals are happier in their home, vs, at a kennel when we are away. I am more than happy and avaible to house sit in your home so your babies are comfortable.
About: Ive been a proud dog owner for 10 plus years. I have dog training experience and consider myself to be patient and compassionate with animals. Im 23 years old and am able to do any physical activities for your dog, like hiking or long hours of exercise if necessary. Im particularly great with puppies and dont get overwhelmed by their overload of energy! I work full time, however there are times each day where I am free and flexible for hours to meet your needs. Just get in touch with me before hand and Ill be happy to work out times and dates! Whatever routines or processes you take to ensure your pets safety and mental health, I will be very diligent and respectful in making sure that no corners are cut while providing your pets with care.
About: Among my friends, I am well known for my love for pets - as well as for volunteering for animal-care organizations. I’ve been caring for pets for years - both professionally and for friends and fellow travelers. I’ve completed numerous house and pet sits through another website (with all 5-star reviews) and have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, and fish. I fostered for a German Shepherd rescue in the past (GSRNC). Now, I do dog sitting occasionally for these dogs. I am able to handle 80+lbs dogs, dog reactivity, etc. I’m also comfortable with administering medications, working with separation anxiety, and caring for both seniors and puppies. I adore all kind of pets since I was a child, and cannot have one due to a lot of travelling and moving around. So very much excited about this opportunity to interact with someone furry! I am currently in between the jobs and since I have a lot of free time now - my schedule is pretty flexible. I also travel a lot these days but always happy to provide the service when I am in the area! I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Safety and comfort are my top priorities—both for your pets and your space. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. I keep pets engaged with walks, playtime, cuddles, and quiet companionship, depending on their needs and energy level. In the home, I’m tidy, respectful, and mindful of privacy and boundaries. I send regular updates with photos and notes so you can relax knowing your pets and house are in good hands.
About: Throughout my life I’ve had 2 dogs, 7 cats, and I currently live with 3 cats. I don’t have a preference between cats and dogs, I love them equally! I don’t work a regular job so my schedule is almost always open for pet sitting. I’m free to house sit, dog walk, whenever you need me. I keep my cats indoors, give fresh water every day in their cat fountain. I feed every morning and every night on a consistent schedule, a mix of kibble and wet food.
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. Along with exceptional care, I offer 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, 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 other tasks such as diaper changes or post operative care. My goal is simple: to provide your pets with a safe, enriching, and loving experience while giving you complete peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and earn your trust by providing 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: Hi my name is Megan! I am a U.S. Navy Veteran and I am also a licensed Veterinary Technician. I graduated college from Eastern Wyoming in 2016 with an Associates degree in Veterinary Technology. I have been animal sitting on and off for 20 years and have worked as a Vet Tech for over 10 years. I would love to watch your dogs, cats, horses or any animals you may have! Please message me on Rover for any sitting questions. I prefer coming to your house 2 times a day to watch your pets and I would like to set up a meet and greet prior to pet-sitting. Thank you! I am available to go to your house to take care of your pets mornings and evenings. Some weekends. I can do overnight stays if my two dogs are welcomed and get along with your pets. I will feed, water them twice a day. I can let them out to play if suitable or play with them. I can also take pets on leashes walks.

I currently work night three night out of seven day week and love taking pets for walks i have the time and love animals i have one of my own I have a fenced in yard with one smaller dog that can use a fur bear friend as well as crate your dog if you would prefer
About: I have taken care of dogs since we found our pit bull mix while I was in the 2nd grade. I would help potty train with her, actively play,walk, and feed and water her while living at home. My family has always been dog lovers, and I am no exception! I now am a proud owner of a 1 year and 9 month old boxer named Copper. My hope for everyone is to find responsibility and companionship in pet ownership as I have. I'd be honored to be included in that journey with you and your dog/cat! While I do have a full time job as an in home caregiver of a disabled individual, my schedule can also be fairly flexible in the daytime hours and on the weekends. Please feel free to reach out, and I will do my best to accommodate your furry friend's needs. I'm willing to adapt to what the owner prefers. When I'm at home, I am always on the lookout for what my pet needs or wants. So, I am used to meeting the need of furry friends.

About: While growing up I have always had a dog in the home. I’m a huge dog lover and don’t know what I would do if I did not have a dog in my life. I remember when my parents let me chose our next dog when I was young. I chose a sheltie and named him Arrow. The reason for the name Arrow was when I went to pick him up I noticed in his fur on the back of his head was an arrow. I loved taking care of Arrow and we had a special bond! I loved taking him on walks and he loved chasing me around the house. When I turned 15 I started to take care of one of my neighbors cats and fish when they went on vacations. After completing one summer, I started taking care of their cats and fish for the next eight years before I moved out. Once the rest of my neighbors found out I was known in the neighborhood for taking care of my neighbors dogs and cats when they were on vacations! I have also taken care of many of my coworkers cats and dogs as well. So rest assured your pet will be in good hands while you are on vacation. It will be one less stress to worry about. I currently work full time, however work three 12 hours shifts. I’m currently off Friday-Monday. So I’m available for the weekends, so perfect for anyone wanting to do a weekend getaway! I do work graveyard so I’m available anytime after 2pm on Fridays. However, if you need to drop of earlier just communicate so I can plan ahead. My girlfriend and I live in a townhouse. I don’t have a fenced backyard. However, have a small backyard that is used for potty breaks. It does have a small area of grass turf (fake grass). The good news we live in Fairview in the Fairview Terrace community. We have a very large area for dogs. So your dog will have lots of playtime in the grassy area. Also, the neighborhood is perfect for walking your dog as well. The community is fenced and a gated community as well. Our community is very dog friendly and many pet owners. We also have a micro mini Golden doodle. So your dog will have a playmate as well. We can also send photos of your pet to you while on vacation to help with the separation. I know when I go on vacation I have a hard time leaving my fur baby behind. For me, getting photos of my fur baby made the vacation a little easier!
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).
“Theo had walked my dogs before, so I was SO happy to see they were back on Rover! They’re so accommodating with my schedule, and my dogs adore them. I also appreciated how prompt they were in responding. I look forward to using their services again in the future!”

About: I'm a dependable and hard worker who's had dogs and cats my whole life, and have been pet/house sitting off and on since I was an early teenager. I love taking dogs for runs or walks with me and getting the chance to exercise them, or just playing with them in the house. I have plenty of experience with older dogs who need medication and various special care needs, dogs who have recently had operations, as well as with puppies making messes. I also have cared for kittens and older cats who need play time or lots of love. I'm happy to give daily updates on your pets; I think they are just as cute as you do! I've taken care of houses, plants, and pets for up to three month periods, communicating with the owners the whole time. I will love and care for your pets just like you do! I currently work from home and have a completely flexible schedule, so I can fit your pets' care needs in however works best for them. I have lots of experience with very high energy working dogs, German Shepherds, who needed to be kenneled and fed in particular ways, as well as experience with caring for up to six pets at a time, making sure they're all fed and getting along at dinner or play times.
About: Hi, I’m Kaitlynn – your pet’s new best friend! I’ve grown up with animals and currently care for two of my own, so I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs extra playtime, a shy rescue that needs patience, or a senior pet with special care needs — I meet them where they’re at, with love and consistency. I just moved to Oregon from Nevada and am currently settling in and building a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time and availability to focus on pet care.

I follow your instructions closely, keep doors locked, double-check gates, and make sure your pets stick to their routine so they feel safe and secure.

“Rebecca was amazing. She was flexible when we were running late for the drop off. She was very communicative. The facility was very clean. She also provided us with pictures of our happy dog hanging out. This went a long way toward leaving our dog with someone new.”

“We were very concerned about leaving our 8 year old fur baby with someone we didn’t know and we couldn’t have been more happy with Kristopher and his wife. They are a sweet couple and obviously love animals. We were thrilled to receive daily photos of a happy puppy. We highly recommend Kristopher and will be using him again when we next need a sitter!”

“Yet another great stay with Gary and Carol. Waldo can barely contain his joy and excitement when we drive up to their place and goes full steam ahead to their front door. They’re the best!”


“Love love love it all that they provided to our Tofu❤️Absolutely recommend Linda and her family hosting your fur babies. Our Tofu spent his best two weeks at their place with lots of walks, treats, and even baths when needed. They asked many questions before hand to get to know Tofu and arranged a visit as well. It was such a relief for us during our international trip where we had no access to text messages and major social media. However, Linda still offered to contact us via WhatsApp in order to send daily updates.”

“Our dogs came home happy and received such good care from Cassandra and Trevor. They communicated very well with lots of fun photo updates. We will definitely book again!”

“Sarah was amazing, and my pup Bingo did great! This was my first time leaving him with someone who wasn't family, and I was so anxious that she made the whole process so easy with pictures and updates when I asked for them, and she ensured I had answers to questions I hadn't even asked yet! I will be using her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone! So happy I found her.”

“The BEST sitter ever! Becky did an amazing job watching our two pups. We got so many updates and cute photos! We were worry free the whole time knowing our dogs were in good hands! Becky is such a sweet warm person, and goes above and beyond with her dog care (her pets Kito and Tatter were amazing playmates for our babbies). We will for sure be a returning client in the future :)”

“Monty had a wonderful time a Dominique’s! I was very confident he would be happy there and was not disappointed. I loved the pictures and videos, and would trust her with my little guy any time.”

“Mackenzie has taken good care of Cleo several times and I appreciate her every time! Went on a trip and left my baby with Mackenzie and she was great at letting me know how Cleo was doing. Cleo was going through some issues and Mackenzie helped me not be a ball of anxiety while I was on my trip. I would 100% recommend Mackenzie!”

“This was the first time away from home for our dog and he had a GREAT time! Cassie totally put our mind at ease with lots of pictures and videos. He loved playing with his new friends and had tons of toys to play with. We highly recommend Cassie and will definitely have Odie go back!”

“Michelle is awesome and our dogs were happy again. They didn't even look back when we dropped them off. I'm so happy we have her and know our dogs are safe and happy! It takes alot to say that about boarding a husky.”

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. Along with exceptional care, I offer 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, 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 other tasks such as diaper changes or post operative care. My goal is simple: to provide your pets with a safe, enriching, and loving experience while giving you complete peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and earn your trust by providing 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.
“Travis was really helpful taking good care of our puppy, he was really accommodating to our needs and communicated well with us! Thank you!! We recommend letting your pet stay with Travis!! ??”
“Jenny was wonderful with our two dogs! She took great care of them making sure they had lots of activity and love! They came home completely exhausted and very happy. Jenny was able to accommodate their needs with their specialty food and medication, and even reached out to ensure they were doing well the next day after I brought them home. I will definitely reach out to Jenny again in the future!”


“Alexi was great with our dog keeping him active, safe and happy during his stay. We received pictures and updates every day and were excited to see our dog take multiple visits to the park. The large fenced in yard and her two friendly playmates were an added bonus. Highly recommended!”

“So far this has been one of the best per sitters on Rover. My dogs are happy after their stay and relaxed. Interactions with Shasta are always very professional and would definitely recommend her:)”
