“Michelle was awesome with our Archer! She sent over many photos and updates, and she and her family loved on Archer and gave him all the activities and frisbee, his favorite. He looked so comfortable and happy in her home. We will definitely be back with Michelle!”
“Gus had a great stay with Beth and her sweet dogs! He came home happy, healthy and tired! I appreciate all of the pictures and updates that Beth sends as well! Gus can’t wait to go back!”
“Joy was perfect for my two year old sidekick Bennett (a.k.a., Benni). Benni enjoyed spending time with Joy and her sweet dog at her workplace, and getting lots of TLC. Joy sent me regular updates and photos while I was on business travel, showing me all the fun Benni was having on his varied adventures. For anyone seeking an attentive, friendly, fun, and loving care provider for your four-legged companion, I highly recommend you think of Joy! 🤩”
“Really sweet and also an alpha. She kindly tells the dogs to behave. They are so happy we call her Camp Veronica. Our dogs have been on good dog trails with her as well as to the river. She always exercises our shepherd and her son sleeps with our Italian greyhound who loves him. Pals. We couldn’t be happier with a dog sitter”
“Our 10 year old black lab really enjoyed hanging out with Adam and Dana. They were quick to get back to me when booking and kept in touch the whole time sending photos of Gus having a great time. Adam and Dana are very accommodating, and I knew that our dog was well cared for. We will definitely be using them in the future! Thank you for taking such good care of our silly boy.”
“Jill is truly a dog lover! Anyone that can make my hyper-obsessed (with me) Multi-Poo feel at home is a total dog whisperer. Proof in the pudding when I came to pick Oso up he of course loved all over me but then went back inside the house and barked with joy in his eyes. Would absolutely trust her with my little fur baby again and highly recommend to all dog owners. Thank you, Jill!”
“Our dog Murphy had a great time at Viki’s! It was his first time there and he was very happy, and ate pretty well, which tells me was comfortable. Viki kept us updated with pictures and notes about how he was doing, which was great to see throughout our trip! We plan to book Viki again!”
“Laura took wonderful care of our dog Brynn for two days. She got a lot of exercise and came home a happy pup! Laura was great about communicating with us and sending photos and updates. Brynn got excellent care. Thank you!”
“Amy is great with Gus and makes me feel very at ease about leaving him when I travel! I got frequent updates and photos. He safe and clearly excited to be there and he loves her two dogs. Will absolutely stay there again!!”
“Leah’s place was paradise for my pups… large grassy fenced yard, friendly dogs on site for play date, and her adorable sons embraced my fur babies and wanted them to sleep in the same room at night. I appreciated the photos sent during their stay, it made me feel super comfortable and satisfied that they were happy. Thank you Leah and family!”
“Gregory took great care of our Cavalier and is an excellent communicator. He is responsible and proactive in his care; sharing updates and asking for owners preference and feedback. His attention to our pup was clearly evident. Smooth booking process including pick up and drop off. Would recommend and would book with him again!”
“Tania is one of the best Rovers that we have ever used. She is incredibly kind and has a lovely home and family to leave your pup with. Mark has stayed with her 3 times already and we feel so comfortable knowing that he is in great hands! I would highly recommend Tania, we will continue to use her as our #1 Rover! Thank you for always taking such great care of our big burly fluff ball!”
“Aubin is awesome! She provided so much peace of mind while we were away. It was the first time we left our pup since we had our baby so I was pretty nervous. She put our mind at ease and provided lots of great updates. We will certainly book with her again!”
“Our family booked a last minute camping trip and Alyssa was quick to respond, easy to communicate with and provided daily updates about our 2 dogs. She went above and beyond giving our dogs exercise (one who is very active) and lots of snuggles and love in the evening. I would highly recommend her to watch your pets and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”

“There is nothing more satisfying then coming home from a trip to a purring cat, a full water dish, and a very clean litter box. It was very scary for me leaving Sophie all alone with a stranger; the pictures and detailed messages from each visit really helped ease my worries. Thank you for taking such good care of Sophie!”
“I would recommend Christina to anyone. Her communication is excellent and she is very reliable. My wife and I were in a pinch and Christina went above and beyond to help us. We appreciate Christina very much!!”
“Im lucky to have Melissa as a repeat caregiver for our cat Oscar. Our cat is not very friendly but every day she tries her best to get him to warm up to her and her care is still top notch even though he is shy. I will re-book Melissa as long as she's available - everyone else should too!”
“I have 4 dogs and one cat. It is such a relief to find someone to care for my pets. We had Ariana drop-in daily to check on our cat when we were away for a week. My cat is usually very shy with strangers and I warned her she may hide the first few visits. But by the daily pictures Ariana texted it was obvious that she warmed up to her immediately. During our pre-care visit, Ariana dropped by our home and met my 4 dogs. She was able to manage their boisterous greeting with the talent of a dog whisperer. As we transition to spending more time in Central Oregon it is reassuring to find someone that can manage the challenges of Nordic breeds and trust we can count on her if we need help with their care.”
“Taunya has watched our two "little old lady cats" twice already for a handful of days each time. She's been incredibly communicative, thoughtful, responsible, and compassionate for our senior kitties, particularly around the recent, ever-so-sensitive (to us, the pet parents) health challenge of one cat's diabetes diagnosis. I'm fretful to leave our kitties given their age and the new health challenge, and Taunya has been an incredible support for our cats (and us!) when we travel. I highly recommend her!”
“We had so much peace of mind while out of town knowing that Madison was checking up on the kitties! They loved her and she was so sweet with them. Sent us so many photos of the cats each day which we really appreciated. So thankful to have someone we can trust with our fur babies while we’re out of town. Can’t recommend her enough! <3”
“Ginny was so wonderful! They were patient and kind with our shy cats. They spent plenty of time making sure our little ones were eating and getting some love. Communication was also quick and friendly!”
“Megan was awesome. Very friendly, responsive, kind and knowledgeable about our dog’s medicines. We appreciated her to help us out and sending us sweet pictures of our dog. Thank you Megan!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, and animals have always been an important part of my life.

My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

I am currently a stay at home mom with plenty of time to care for your dogs or cats in your home anytime you need.
“Sarah was great with our two cats! She gave them their medicines, played with them, kept them company did everything we asked perfectly! We will surely ask her to pet sit for us again!!”
About: Cats have always had a special place in my heart, and I've shared my home with them for most of my life. I'm currently the very proud staff member (let's be honest) to three wonderful cats, so I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and preferences. I'm comfortable caring for friendly, shy, senior, or independent cats and always let them set the pace. Some want to play, some want cuddles, and some simply appreciate a respectful human who knows their boundaries—and I'm happy to be all of the above. I'm experienced with: • Feeding and fresh water • Litter box cleaning • Playtime and enrichment • Administering medications • Following special routines or diets • Sending regular updates and photos while you're away (though I can't promise your cat won't pretend they don't know me the moment you get home) Whether your cat greets me at the door or decides to observe me from across the room for two days before becoming my supervisor, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for until you're home again.
“Lizzy took amazing care of our cat, Freddie! She was incredibly responsive and sent great, daily updates and photos of Freddie while we were out of town. This was our first time leaving him at home, but we could tell he was very well taken care of! I would highly recommend asking Lizzy to watch your fur-babies!”
“Beatriz was amazing with my shy, older dog. It was clear from the first drop in that she took the time to let my dog acclimate, and by visit 2 they were playing fetch in the yard. Also very professional with communication and punctual. Definitely would recommend!”
About: I’ve learned that cats definitely have their own opinions about things—and sometimes, their opinion is that you are not their friend yet! I have extensive experience working with fearful and anxious cats in a veterinary setting, in the field as an Animal Control Officer, and in the shelter environment. Over the years, I’ve learned that many cats simply need a little extra time, patience, and understanding to feel comfortable. One of my favorite things to do is simply sit with them and let them know I’m there. No pressure, no forced cuddles, and definitely no chasing! I let them come out, check me out, and decide when they’re ready to say hello. I believe cats do things on their own schedule, and I’m perfectly happy to wait for that moment when they decide, “Okay… I guess you’re alright.” There’s nothing better than earning the trust of a cat who just needed a little patience and someone willing to wait for them.
“Madison was awesome and took great care of my two timid cats! They can take a while to warm up to new people, but they actually came out of hiding to say hello and hang out with her on the second day! I’m super grateful for her help and will definitely be requesting her help with the kitties again in the future.”
“Jake is an older dog and as such is slowing down. When Allyson realized that Jake was in pain fetching, which he would do until he dropped, she changed the activity to be a little easier on him. She was in communication with me all the time and handled everything well.”

“Christina was great to work with and super responsive from booking all the way through pick up at the end of the day. She has a lovely home and a really sweet pup. I would definitely recommend her for anyone needing doggy day care.”
“Chris is so awesome and really easy to work with. His dogs are friendly and he has a nice big yard for the doggos to play. I love how quick he always is to respond and his general kind and positive communication. Thank you Chris! I highly recommend his daycare services.”
“Dorota was amazing ! Her and her dog got along perfectly with my girl. Dorota was so welcoming and knew what she was doing and what to expect. My first time using this app for a trip out of state and I was not let down. Highly recommend”
About: I grew up around all types of animals on my grandparent’s 100 acre farm, and I have spent recent years taking care of two very loved pups and a big family.

I’m a stay-at-home mom of three kids 👧🏻👧🏼👦🏼 (ages 4, 6, and 7), so please only reach out if your dog is good with kids.

“Sarah and Ben were awesome sitters for our energetic boxer. We were running late for both drop off and pick up and they we understanding and more accommodating than they needed to be. Their own dogs are very friendly and made for a great play date. We will definitely be looking to use them again.”

“Jamie was very communicative and was wonderful with Maggie. Her pups played so well with my dog, and I loved receiving the frequent pictures and videos. Would definitely send Maggie back to Jamie again!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we instantly felt at ease leaving our pup with Lauren. June had a great time and came back to us tuckered out from a day of playing with Lauren's pups. Lauren sent us numerous updates throughout the day, so we were never left wondering how June was getting along. I would highly recommend Lauren as someone to feel safe leaving your pet with!”
“They are great to have watch Riley. I boarded her with them when I work and go on trips. They are so good with Riley and when we get to their house Riley gets excited and runs into their house. I will always use Julie and Colin when I need someone to take care of Riley.”
“Alana was awesome, we needed a last-minute sitter and she responded so quickly! Our nervous dog easily warmed up to her in and had a great afternoon. We would hire Alana again in a heartbeat.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with almost 20 years of experience caring for dogs through walking, sitting, and boarding. I started my first dog-walking business at 14, and my love for animals has only grown since then. I’ve spent years dog sitting for friends and family, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. My wife and I have two dogs and two cats of our own, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets in a home environment and managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. We live on a half-acre property that gives dogs plenty of space to run, play, and explore safely. I’m very active and love getting dogs outside for adventures—whether that’s long walks, hikes, bike runs, or even snow outings for dogs who enjoy winter fun. I always tailor activities to each dog’s age, energy level, and comfort, with safety as my top priority. Your dog will be treated like part of the family, with plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I’d love to meet you and your pup and help give you peace of mind while you’re away! I do alot of my work from home so our pets don't spend too much time alone. We exercise our dogs daily and frequent the local trails. We have a large fenced yard and two dogs that love to play. Our dogs sleep in our bed with us, so we can set up a bed, or a crate, or they can snuggle up with us!
“Stacey was awesome! She and her team of two dogs kept our little lady ? more than entertained for the day. She gave me updates throughout the day. Outstanding communication! Would definitely work with her anytime!”
About: Hi! I'm Naomi, a lifelong animal lover based in Bend, Oregon. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets as if they were family. I share my home with two dogs and a cat, so I'm comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your dog loves long walks and adventures or prefers a slower pace and plenty of cuddles, I'm happy to tailor my care to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I offer dependable, attentive care with regular photo updates, so you'll always know how your pets are doing while you're away. I'm experienced with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, reinforcing routines, and giving pets the patience and affection they deserve. My goal is simple: to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pets. I treat every animal in my care like one of my own, providing plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and companionship. * Experienced caring for both dogs and cats * Comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and multiple-pet households * Reliable, responsible, and communicative * Flexible scheduling * Daily walks, playtime, and enrichment * Regular photo and message updates * Calm, patient approach that helps pets feel at home I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets. Let's schedule a meet-and-greet so we can make sure it's the perfect fit! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet is staying overnight, stopping by for a visit, or joining me for a walk, they'll receive consistent care, exercise, and lots of affection. I plan my day around the pets in my care, making sure they have regular potty breaks, meals on their normal schedule, playtime, walks, and time to relax. I believe keeping pets on their usual routine helps them feel comfortable and reduces stress while you're away. When your pet stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. I strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable from the moment they arrive. I take the time to learn each pet's routine—including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, favorite toys, sleeping habits, and any medications or special instructions. Keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps them settle in and feel at home. My home features a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs a secure place to run, play, sniff, and enjoy the outdoors under my supervision. In addition to backyard playtime, each day includes walks, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Safety is always my top priority. Pets are never left outside unattended, I closely supervise all interactions, and I maintain a clean, pet-friendly home where they can relax and feel at ease.
“Dylan watched our dogs for the day while we visited Crater Lake. It was an unusually hot day and Dylan made sure to keep them cool and comfortable. They looked happy when we picked them up. We really appreciated his help and responsiveness.”
“Alyssa was fantastic! She took great care of our senior pug Kaiju. He was in good spirits when we picked him up and not stressed, super happy. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pup!”
“Nicole and her family were amazing. We were traveling to Bend for the long weekend and left our dog with Nicole for the one day we were visiting a National park. They took great care of our dog and sent us photos regularly of all the fun they had. I highly recommend trusting Nicole and her family with your pup if you are in Bend, they were awesome!”
About: I have two pets of my own, a 6-year-old tabie cat named Chip and a 3-year-old Golden Doodle named Waffles. I've had them both since babies so I'm very familiar with the different stages of growth. We're an active family so I prioritize lots of potty and play breaks during the day while I work from home. We have lots of toys to stay entertained, as well as cozy couches to take naps on. I've cat/dog sat many times for friends and neighbors and have grown passionate about caring for all fur babies and making sure they feel comfortable and happy while their parents are away and most importantly understand the importance of daily photo updates throughout the day. I work from home, so potty breaks for dogs are every 2 hours. As well as making sure they're comfortable throughout the day with playtime and feeding schedules. I have a pet-friendly apartment, I allow pets on furniture and have toys available to play with at all times but if your pet doesn't do well with toys lying around I would be more than happy to remove them if necessary.

“Leah walked our dogs over a couple of days and our dogs were happy and worn out. She was an excellent communicator and persevered through some tough weather to get them out.”
About: Life-long animal lover with deep respect for the responsibility that comes with caring for pets. Animals are a very important part of my life & I understand that each have their own personality, needs and routines. Whether it is energetic playtime, quiet companionship or extra patience for senior pets, I genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections. Pet care isn’t just a task for me - it’s something I truly love and take pride in. I am home for much of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, potty breaks, strict meal time schedule and plenty of loving interaction. We have dog parks & miles of walking trails in the resort, allowing for active play or quiet downtime…adapted to each pet’s individual needs. We have a consistent pet-focused routine as we have a wonderful 1yo Golden Retriever at home. She is sweet, playful and keeps us focused on regular interaction, exercise and mental stimulation.
“Ginny has walked my senior boy weekly for several months. She is very patient with him, going at his pace and letting him sniff more than walk. Ginny is excellent communicator, always on time and genuine nice person. And best of all Saru loves her and is always happy to go on a walk with her. I can't recommend her higher and you will be lucky to have her walk you dog.”
About: What is it about those dog souls? They capture me, each and every one. I am a Registered Nurse with a heart for all dogs. I have had 3 dogs myself, the last one being a bully breed who taught me a great deal of how to work with dogs who require high management. I understand dog behaviors and idiosyncrasies and enjoy working with different personalities. I work from home so can keep eyes on your pup at most all times. I enjoy breaking up the day with a dog walk or training. I am happy to walk, run, play fetch, work on training or any other request during your pups stay. I enjoy spoiling dogs. But I also practice boundaries and behavioral expectations. My rate includes 2 walks a day and/or other exercise. I also provide a stuffed kong and other chewy toys unless you prefer they don't have ☺️ I am a proponent for dog parents to have a fi or gos collar for their pups. I think it's helpful for you as the owner to know where your pup is and the exercise they are getting as well, in an unfortunate/ unlikely event of getting out we can track them. I work from home so am available at most all times. I also have a half acre fenced yard If possible I'd like to do a meet and greet before sitting. I understand the trust it takes to allow someone to take care of you own pup but also to allow into ones home when you are away. I want to ensure owners are comfortable with my level of care and trust you instill with my service
About: I’ve had pets my whole life! Growing up, my family had dogs, cats, chickens, horses and we even had a turtle! Even from a young age, I had a passion for taking care of animals. I’m an active person that loves hiking and neighborhood walks with my very energetic and goofy English Setter. I also have two senior adopted cats that get daily snuggles as well. My husband and I lost our beloved blue heeler a couple of years ago who was our adventure buddy that went everywhere we did! He loved people, but tolerated other dogs and now we have a very sweet and active English Setter that would love to have some friends to play with! I have a fully fenced, half acre property and regularly go on walks with my dog. I also have experience with giving insulin to one of my diabetic senior cats, twice a day. My pets mean everything to me and I’d treat anyone else’s like my own! I currently work part time and love to get out and explore, so I have plenty of time throughout the week and weekend to help with pet care! I have a fully fenced in half acre yard for dogs and a very active dog that would love to have a buddy to play with! I also go on neighborhood walks, feel comfortable with puppies and senior pets.

About: I am an experienced pet and house sitter. It was my first job as a kid and I continue to love it and take excellent care of your pets! I’m moving from Montana and hoping to line up some dog sitting gigs as I settle in to a new city. I travel a lot and am hoping to fill my time at home with dog sitting. I love dogs and am attentive to their needs. Whether it’s going on long walks or playing in the back yard, they will get my full attention.
About: I've had a love for animals my whole life & have spent the last 5 years working as a dog groomer. During that time I've cared for dogs ranging from energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience & support. I'm Pet First Aid & CPR certified. I've worked with puppers who have special needs, including allergies, mobility challenges, heart murmurs, brachycephalic breeds, & other health concerns. I've been trained on critical & non critical signs of stress, so I know when things are concerning & always keep pet parents informed. I'm also comfortable handing nervous, reactive, & challenging dogs. I currently work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule & allows me to dedicate plenty of time & attention to any pet in my care. Aside from the occasional errand, I'm available to spend most of the day with your pet, keeping them company and maintaining their normal routine. I offer drop in visits overnight, stays and extended care. I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection and 1 on 1 time while you're away. While caring for pets, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. Before each stay, I'd love to learn about your pets, so I can provide personalized care that feels familiar. I'll carefully follow instructions for meals, walks, potty breaks, and any other routine your pet relies on beyond meeting their basic needs. I want their time with me to feel like a vacation. That means extra playtime, enrichment, belly rubs, cuddles, and plenty of 1 on 1 attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax, knowing your pet is happy, safe, and having a great time while you're away.
About: I have several years of both informal and formal house and pet care experience. My background spans caring for pets and homes for friends, colleagues, their extended networks, and now clients through a trusted, review-based service. I’ve looked after playful dogs, affectionate cats, and senior pets requiring special attention, as well as smaller animals. My services range from overnight house and pet sitting to dog walking, drop-in visits, and extended companionship during the day. Responsibilities have included maintaining daily routines, administering basic medications, providing exercise and enrichment, keeping homes secure and clean, and ensuring pets are happy, healthy, and comfortable. I approach every assignment—whether a quick walk, a full day of company, or an extended stay—with the same responsibility, care, and respect I’d expect from someone looking after my own home and pets. As a remote employee with a highly flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. Working from home means I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, litter box cleaning, and companionship throughout the day, rather than just in the mornings and evenings. I can adjust my work hours around a pet’s needs—whether that’s extra snuggles, medication at a specific time, or simply being present so they feel comfortable and secure. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent, attentive care and keep pets’ routines as normal and stress-free as possible while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I follow all instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding and medication schedules, exercise routines, or special care needs—and remain attentive to any changes in behavior or health. I treat each home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and other safety considerations to prevent escapes or accidents, and I ensure pets have safe, cozy spaces where they can relax. Whether it’s an energetic dog needing daily walks, a cat who prefers quiet companionship, or a senior pet requiring gentle attention, my goal is to give owners complete peace of mind knowing both their pets and home are in responsible, caring hands.
“Taunya helped my fiancé and I in a pinch when we needed our dog walked while we skied. She was communicative, prompt and sent photos even though it was only a 30 min walk! I really appreciated knowing how our baby was doing while we were out for the day. If you need someone to care for your pup in Bend, definitely recommend Taunya!”

I am comfortable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with love, patience, affection, and full attention. I am responsible, trustworthy, and happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. During the week, I work full-time as a nanny, and I’m fully available for pet sitting on Friday nights, Saturdays, and Sundays. I’m happy to provide dedicated, focused care during those days. I may also be available for select weekday bookings with advance notice, feel free to message me to discuss! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I follow all feeding schedules, potty breaks, walk routines, and any specific care instructions closely. — I’m a rule follower. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and playtime, while also respecting their individual personalities and needs. Cleanliness and safety are very important to me. I keep the home tidy and ensure pets are always in a secure environment. As a dog sister to two Pomeranians, I understand how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they’re away.
About: Hi there!! My name is Melissa. I have cared for animals from the time I could walk. When I became an adult, I worked in veterinary medicine for 15+ years. First I was in reception, and then I had a long veterinary technician career. My genetic and progressive neurological disorder causes my hands to shake, so I’ve had to step away from technical work. I’m currently working at Sunriver Vet Clinic as a receptionist 3 days a week. I’ve done pet sitting in Illinois, and have recently moved to beautiful Sunriver. I’m comfortable with injections, medications, and I’m very familiar with dog and cat care and health problems and concerns. I myself have an 18 year old kitty in mid stage kidney failure and two greyhounds. Poop, pee, vomit, anal glands- nothing phases me. I have also done a lot of feral cat work. If you want a been there, done that pet sitter then that’s me. I’d love to meet your furry family members. I have very flexible part time commitments during the week. I make my own schedule, so I can schedule my commitments around your pet’s needs. I care for your pets exactly the way you want me to. I’m extremely cognizant of pet safety and having worked as a veterinary technician has made me very good at reading pet body language. I can tell if your pet is stressed, needing something, or up to shenanigans and adjust accordingly. 😂
About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I am comfortable with a wide variety of breeds and their needs. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I genuinely love animals, and taking care of them has always been a passion of mine. I have nearly a year of full-time experience working in a doggy daycare environment. During this time, I developed a strong ability to read canine body language and communication, manage group dynamics, and respond appropriately to a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. I strive to keep educating my self so I can continuously improve my skills in taking care of animals. I am able to create my own schedule. I would be able to accommodate your pet or pet’s, with routine walks, breaks and check in. I take care of any animal as if they were my own. My priority is to make all animals and humans involved comfortable. My clients homes are treated with respect and I always pick up after my self. I genuinely love being around animals and spending time with them. I strive to gain and maintain trust with my clients and their fur babies.
About: Animals are inherently apart of who I am as a person, and my love and compassion for them is a part of my soul and what makes me, well, me! Here's a little bit 'About Me': - First and foremost, I have been training pets for over 20 years! - Secondly, I charge the rates I do as I do this professionally and take my job very seriously. I’m caring for your animals 24 hours a day and provide top rate above and beyond service to your animal. As such, I charge the rates I do as it’s a reflection of the quality of care I provide & allows me to still barely make a livable wage. When you do the hard math, I’m still making less than $20 an hr, it’s the passion not the the $$ driving this train!!!! - I have (4) pets of my own, whom I have raised since each were a kitten or pup; 17 yr old Cheetoh kitty named Thisbe (Queen Bee of the house!), 10 yr old Siberian Husky named Sibyl (adventurer/free spirit woman of the house), 3 year old Basset named Boone (best ‘Bass Hole’ round!), & 11 mo. old Great Bernard named Wynnefred (lil big baby girl!). - I am an outdoor enthusiast, and, yep, you guessed it, my dogs & cat are my adventure partners! Whether it's hiking, camping, backpacking, packrafting, running, walking, snowboarding, we do it all as family & are very active. - There are no bad pets, just bad owners. I know, hold it against me, if you would like! - If there are any additional questions or information you would like to know about me, inquire within . . . Pets are the life and soul in about everything I do! I have goals to start several businesses re pet care and/or pet related. All animals welcome! I have a dog run and dog friendly house with (4) friends to keep your fur baby(ies) company! I am flexible in my schedule and can work with all breeds’ needs.

“Michelle was awesome with our Archer! She sent over many photos and updates, and she and her family loved on Archer and gave him all the activities and frisbee, his favorite. He looked so comfortable and happy in her home. We will definitely be back with Michelle!”
“Joy was perfect for my two year old sidekick Bennett (a.k.a., Benni). Benni enjoyed spending time with Joy and her sweet dog at her workplace, and getting lots of TLC. Joy sent me regular updates and photos while I was on business travel, showing me all the fun Benni was having on his varied adventures. For anyone seeking an attentive, friendly, fun, and loving care provider for your four-legged companion, I highly recommend you think of Joy! 🤩”
“Really sweet and also an alpha. She kindly tells the dogs to behave. They are so happy we call her Camp Veronica. Our dogs have been on good dog trails with her as well as to the river. She always exercises our shepherd and her son sleeps with our Italian greyhound who loves him. Pals. We couldn’t be happier with a dog sitter”
“Our 10 year old black lab really enjoyed hanging out with Adam and Dana. They were quick to get back to me when booking and kept in touch the whole time sending photos of Gus having a great time. Adam and Dana are very accommodating, and I knew that our dog was well cared for. We will definitely be using them in the future! Thank you for taking such good care of our silly boy.”
“Jill is truly a dog lover! Anyone that can make my hyper-obsessed (with me) Multi-Poo feel at home is a total dog whisperer. Proof in the pudding when I came to pick Oso up he of course loved all over me but then went back inside the house and barked with joy in his eyes. Would absolutely trust her with my little fur baby again and highly recommend to all dog owners. Thank you, Jill!”
“Our dog Murphy had a great time at Viki’s! It was his first time there and he was very happy, and ate pretty well, which tells me was comfortable. Viki kept us updated with pictures and notes about how he was doing, which was great to see throughout our trip! We plan to book Viki again!”
“Laura took wonderful care of our dog Brynn for two days. She got a lot of exercise and came home a happy pup! Laura was great about communicating with us and sending photos and updates. Brynn got excellent care. Thank you!”

“Tania is one of the best Rovers that we have ever used. She is incredibly kind and has a lovely home and family to leave your pup with. Mark has stayed with her 3 times already and we feel so comfortable knowing that he is in great hands! I would highly recommend Tania, we will continue to use her as our #1 Rover! Thank you for always taking such great care of our big burly fluff ball!”
“Aubin is awesome! She provided so much peace of mind while we were away. It was the first time we left our pup since we had our baby so I was pretty nervous. She put our mind at ease and provided lots of great updates. We will certainly book with her again!”
“Our family booked a last minute camping trip and Alyssa was quick to respond, easy to communicate with and provided daily updates about our 2 dogs. She went above and beyond giving our dogs exercise (one who is very active) and lots of snuggles and love in the evening. I would highly recommend her to watch your pets and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”

“Otis had such a blast with Lisa and was so well cared for. We had some instructions for Lisa to provide minor medical care for Otis during his stay with her. She was so kind and supportive and handling this as well as providing a lot of comfort and companionship for him while we were away. She also trimmed Otis’ nails and cleaned up some paw fur that was irritating him. She built a lot of trust with him and he felt so at home in her care. Couldn’t ask for more.”
