“Brittany was so kind and welcoming to my two high energy pups! She was so patient with them as they warmed up to her home while I was on a trip for 3 days. She also provided several updates and pictures of my boys while I was away, making me feel more at ease knowing they were in a safe environment. She's great!!!”
“Took great care of Khoda; Spent time with him, took him for walks, kept me updated daily with photos of him, he definitely did not want to come back home lol Thank you again for taking care of my dog and ensuring his attention-needs were met. I'll definitely be in contact for future trips/vacations, I know he can't wait to come back and see his human and dog friends again!”
“Sarah has pet sat my dog twice now while we were away, and we will book with her again next time we need a sitter. She is very nice and has taken good care of Letty. Letty also really enjoys the fenced in yard to run around in.”
“Loved that Melissa sent updates and pics everyday. Helped me to feel confident that he was receiving excellent care. He seemed like he enjoyed his "vacation" with his pals. Will definitely use her again.”
“Tina was great. The nice perk is she has a big yard and a doggie door so my Yorkie could go in and out of her house whenever he wanted to. He is very attached to people and she took very good care of him!”
“We had to unexpectedly go out of town and booked our dog’s stay through Rover after many years. It was very assuring that brie seemed to have a good time with Michelle and Tom. They were very understanding to Brie’s anxiety issues and very accommodating to Her dietary needs. Thank you Michelle, we will Surely keep brie with you when we go out.”
“Jordan provided a safe, calm, and secure place for our pup. She kept us informed with text and pictures and it was great seeing our pup so relaxed and happy while we were away. 💙”
“We felt completely at ease leaving our Frenchie in her care. Her family was welcoming and caring, and extremely communicative with updates on how our Midge was adapting to her stay with them. We give her our highest recommendation and would suggest Vivian for your precious pets.”
“Patrick is wonderful. He has watched my puppy and now my senior boy. My senior boy had a little trouble adjusting and Patrick was so kind and easy to communicate with. He provided much appreciated photos and updates and I never once had to worry about my buddy.”
About: Being around dogs has been the foundation of my life since the age of 3. From caring for my own pets, helping our neighbor who bred collies, and caring for dogs while also caring for my patients at work as a home health occupational therapist, I feel like every pet is part of my family. My heart is full around any four legged friend and I strive to care for them, show them the deepest love, and teach them as I do my own children. It’s in my blood! I currently work as a home health OT with a flexible schedule during the day. I also have windows of time during the evenings and weekends to care for any pet. Teaching my sons responsibility and skills required to care well for animals are just an added bonus! I own my home with a large yard in the rear of the home. I’m also able to provide in-home boarding as I do not currently have a pet in the home. I also am able to offer drop-in services to address any home needs (mail, plant care, shoveling or vacation mowing), dog-walking, and light housework. Additional services like dog-walking upon request- let’s make your time away painless without concern at home.
“For my first time using Rover, I was very pleased with Augusta. She is very nice, calm and patient. I appreciated her good communication which gave me peace knowing my fur baby was in good hands.”
“I loved Gary and his wife they were soooo good to Teddy I didn’t even have to worry about my dog for the first time ever . Teddy can’t wait to come back !!! Thanks guys see you again soon”
“Another wonderful experience with Lindsay. I love how she treats my pup like her own and he seems to fit right in with her and her family. She is such a lovely person; I can't say enough good things and would recommend Lindsay to anyone.”
“We left our mini schnauzer in the BEST care for our 2 week trip away. Andrew, Karen, and Finn were the best hosts to our boy. We received many daily updates of photos/videos of Moose having the best time playing with Finn. They were always so quick to respond to any messages we sent. When we picked up Moose, he was clean and brushed. I’m one of those crazy dog moms and am 10000% happy with how Moose was taken care of! Thank you so much Andrew and Karen!”
“Johanna was absolutely excellent with my pup Mia. She kept me updated everyday by sending pictures and videos. Her dog Stella is very sweet and playful. She became to be a friend with my dog instantly. I enjoyed watching their play videos thanks to Johanne. We’ll definitely see Johanne again very soon.”
“Emily and her family were wonderful caring for my dog Sunny! Emily treated Sunny as part of her family and was in constant communication with me to send pictures and updates. I had absolutely no concerns about Sunny while we were on vacation because I knew that Emily was giving Sunny so much love. I highly recommend her and will definitely have her care for Sunny in the future!!”
“I was so pleased with Carol's care of my Yorkie. She did an excellent job and he was so very well taken care of. I could not be happier. I was also very reassured he was in good hands as she is a regular foster parent for dogs and has lots of experience. Thank you Carol!”

About: I have been taking care of cats since I was 10 years old. I've had cats and kittens throughout my life and have tended to stray cats in the neighborhood, giving them food and shelter. Experience cleaning litter boxes and giving flea and tick medicine.
“We had a great experience with Ashlyn! This was our first time leaving our kitten and we were a bit nervous but Ashlyn did wonderful with her! We got updates and pictures every day and her communication was perfect!”
About: I’ve been around animals (dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish!) my whole life! I’ve also helped by dropping by to check on my neighbors animals as well. I’m also going to school for dog training! I’m currently working a full time job, I work 10-7 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday but I can stop by before and after work! I can also come by on my lunches as well! My off days are Wednesdays and Saturdays Don’t see a date available? Message me and we can talk to see what works! My animals are my whole life! I will treat your baby’s as my own and do everything I can to make them feel comfortable and safe while I’m around!
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life and know that every cat is different. Some are social and playful, while others prefer a quiet space and a slower approach. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication if needed, and sticking to your cat’s normal routine. Whether your cat wants attention or simply someone they can feel safe around, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, cared for, and treated like one of my own while you’re away.
About: *I will not offer cat services in my home due to my husky, sometimes she’s has her prey drive intact & other times she does not. But I will come to you.* Watch my mom’s cat, my sisters and my sons while they travel. Took care of my dad’s 17 Siamese breeder cats while he was hospitalized as well. If you don’t mind if my sister comes along, she provides excellent and outstanding kitty care. No extra charge for her, I pay her out of my own pocket! She will have a full background check completed in the coming weeks to carry along as well!
“Jess was great! She did a great job with communicating a meet and greet and all the details about the drop-ins for my cat. She really made me feel comfortable he was getting all the cuddles and attention he needed :)”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all of my childhood. I just started this as a side hustle, and I absolutely love it! I love meeting new pups and being a helping hand to somebody as well! I work a full time job outside of pet sitting. I’m gone from 4-10/11 at the latest, and my off days are Tuesdays and Thursdays. My schedule is very flexible, so if there are any issues with my work schedule, it can be moved around. I’m typically gone between 6-8 hours depending on travel time as well. I stay at the client’s house so that way their pets are comfortable in their own home and environment. I do an initial meet and greet before the date needed to pet sit so the pets meet me and recognize me while i’m staying with them.
“WOW!!! How fantastic it is to find someone who loves your pets (kittens) as much as Dayna. From the first meet & greet we new Dayna was the perfect pet sitter. Bowie & Iggy took to her immediately. Dayna made sure we got pics everyday at both visits and we even got some FaceTime in on Sunday morning. They were well cared for...and didn't miss us quite as much as I hoped they would LOL. (Translated...they got plenty of playtime & kitten cuddles with someone who genuinely cares). Definitely a repeat customer when the next trip comes up. 😻😽😺”
“Kaleigh really stepped up when the previous sitter canceled without even so much as a message. She obviously has a history of working with dogs. She was informative and easy to contact. I would definitely recommend and will keep her at the top of my list next time I need a sitter.”
About: *Hello! My name is Jessica and I cannot wait to pet sit for you! I have roughly 15 years of experience with pet/house sitting. With me, you'll be able to enjoy vacation, spend time with family, or whatever it may be with reassurance and a sigh of relief knowing that your little furry family member is in good hands. *I started off many years ago cat sitting for 2 cats and one of them needed a lot of care including medication twice a day. Over the years, that led to dog sitting 2 dogs. Pretty soon, that family referred me to another family, they did the same, and next thing I know I had about 4 different families that I was sitting for. I recently took some time off, but I am ready to start again! *For my job, I start at midnight until usually 8:30am. At some point during the day, I do online college courses (I'm done with schooling at the end of this year), so that means I will be able to spend basically the entire day with your pet! *Not only will booking with me help you, but it also benefits me because I thoroughly enjoy being around animals. Where I live, I am not allowed pets so anytime I am able to help people and it so happens to involve an animal, I am happy! *For pricing, I'm willing to talk about it. I will work with you especially if you have any additional services that may need done like cleaning up your house, etc. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you consider me when choosing a pet sitter. I work full time but start at midnight until 8:30am. That gives me the ability to be able to be at your house all day with your pet(s)! That means they won't be lonely while you're gone! In your house, I will give your dog all the comfort that it needs because I'm sure not having their owner around will be an adjustment at first. I am able to take your pet on as many walks as needed, follow whatever food schedule that is required, and have as much cuddle time as they let me! I would care for your pet with the mindset that this is a little family member and treat it with the kindness and respect all animals deserve and I never bring anyone else over to the client's house.
About: I have had cats and other pets since I was a child. Now as a grandmother, I still have my own cats. My cats are my babies and I take care of them as such. They both are cuddlers and I'd love to cuddle yours. I have administered medicine to my cats when it was needed.
About: I had a large dog the majority of my life and help friends take care of theirs from time to time. I currently have had my 2 cats for 4 years and also have helped take care of my partner’s large dog for almost a year. I also have watched people’s cats for them as well! I work full time but my schedule is flexible and have plenty of time to take your furry friends on walks, play with them, feed them, and care for them as if they were my own! I care for my pets like they’re family and I would do the same for yours! My cats and dog are treated the same way I’d want to be treated, if not better!
“Nikki was great looking after our animals. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Out dog warmed up to her faster than most and the cat allowed her to apply topical medication. She was very professional and punctual, had all the right paperwork, all the things that out me at ease while we were away for a weekend.”
“Emma did a wonderful job house/pet sitting for us for 10 days! She kept in constant contact with us and sent us pictures of our fur babies. She was very flexible and even stayed at the house longer when our flight was delayed. One of our cats unexpectedly needed to have medicine while we were gone and she did a great job making sure she got her medicine two times per day. We will definitely have Emma house/pet sit for us again! Thank you Emma!”

About: I live in Scottdale but I’m very familiar with ALL surrounding areas. I’m a homemaker, so I’m available practically any time to come offer care to your furry (or not so furry!) loved ones! Currently we have 2 dogs, a purebred (very hyper) 32lb female Siberian Husky & a Designer Breed (spunky) 15lb female Pomsky. They are both crate trained & house trained as they are both ESA (Emotional Support Animals) & I take that very seriously as to their training & how exactly I want them to behave. I recently lost my female German Shepherd; & a year prior my male Siberian Husky. My male Siberian was epileptic so I’m experienced in offering meds and know that having them on hand & on time IS A MUST for things of this nature! My shepherd was very elderly & required a lot of extra love, care & attention also. *I offer very basic kitty care. I cannot host cats in my home due to the prey drive of my husky, sometimes she’s ok with them, other times not. *I’ll do feedings for lizards as I have had a few bearded dragon myself as well so I’m knowledgeable here also. (But under no circumstances ask me to care for your snake, or your spider!) ***I offer walks, playtime, feed & water breaks, treat time, medication administration ALL in my standard fee. Anything else, just ask! I’m very flexible & willing to work out most things if we can come to an agreement suitable for both sides. Can’t wait to meet the furry parts of your family.🐾 Pretty much available whenever. I can usually work out something that’s suitable if I am not. Reach out with any questions! We can almost always work out an agreement. No fence but my yard is safe, multiple leashes, 2 porches, in a friendly community for walks. Small home but very lovable and friendly and cozy. My dogs are crate trained but good with other dogs, socialized, UTD on shots, but my girls are not spayed so if you have a male I allow ONLY altered ones at this time.

About: While I am currently unemployed and staying at my parents home, our family dog (Havanese) of 17 years recently passed away in February 2026. Now that my mother is retiring this summer, we wish to fill the empty home, and our combined newly gained free time, with some furry friends! For in-home boarding we will be a mother-son team with pretty wide open schedules to care for our furry guests, and will provide a great big house and yard in a great pet-friendly neighborhood for them to enjoy! I can also sit at your home if that is more convenient for you and the pet. My parents dog recently passed away at the age of 17. While I was living with them I helped to raise and care for her throughout the years. I thankfully and gratefully have always had dogs to care for throughout my entire life, from as a young child all the way to just recently with the passing of our most recent dog in February 2026. Your pet will have our full attention and their health and happiness will be the priority. We don't live very busy lives and have lots of extra free time now to care for them.
About: Hello! I’m Emma! I run my own dog sitting business as well as rover! I have many years of animal care including almost a year at a boarding kennel and animal rescue that I volunteered for. I have trained multiple puppy’s so if you also need training advice or just a training session please let me know! I will leave your house at the end of the day with a photo sent to you of your babies and a smile on your face! I currently work a twilight shift so I am available anytime after 11am to spend time with your fur babies when you’re away at work or vacation! My first priority is making sure that the fur baby is comfortable with me before I fully enter the home. If you need a stop-in visit I will make sure their special instructions have been completed (as in full water and food or any medications needed)
“I brought my two fur babies to Pittsburgh, PA to be with me while I attended my class reunion. I found Ms. Carol on Rover. Immediately when I saw her face I knew she was the one I could trust my babies with. Ms. Carol, I’m so pleased to have met you. My babies were safe, looked after as if they were hers, attended to when needed, but most importantly, welcomed into her home by her fur babies.”

About: I do work full-time, but am home in the evenings. I LOVE animals, but do not feel that I have the time needed to be a 'full time' caregiver. This is perfect for my lifestyle!

Looking forward to meeting you and your special pet!! I can accommodate special requests and am happy to answer any questions that you might have. References are available upon request. Thank you for reading my profile. I currently work full time, but would love to come and stay with your pet to provide day and nighttime companionship.

About: I’m Emily! A little about me: I love to run, lift, paint, and read. I am currently a student at the University of Pittsburgh studying Speech Pathology and Audiology who’s home for the summer! I've been a pet owner myself for about 5 years now. My family currently has three cats and has had a dog and another cat in the past. Within the last seven years I have dog and cat sat for a lot of my extended family and friends. I'm currently on the hunt for a part-time job for the summer, so I have plenty of time on my hands to look after and care for pets. I also have my own car and am hanging out with friends a lot, so I am always around. I am very diligent with making sure doors and windows are shut and locked to ensure that your pets do not go in or out (if they're indoor pets/ not on a leash) as I have to do that with my own pets! I also realize as it grows hotter, animals become dehydrated and hot as well, and I am careful to make sure water bowls are filled, and there is water during walks as well.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was about 10 years old. They always seem to love me and I love them as well. I also have experience in training as well I’m available all the time as I’m unemployed at the moment. I have plenty of time to spend time and care for pets. I have a dog of my own and he was the sweetest. He gets along with other dogs well I can easily create a dog if needed. But I do have another dog in the home. He is very sweet and gets along with other animals very well.
About: I started training dogs at a very young age, and decided to make it into a career a few years ago. I specialize in fearful and reactive dogs, the overlooked and misunderstood. I have open availability Saturday through Tuesday! Even on the other days I am working, I’m always working with dogs. We can always work around work schedules If your dog is up for it- I will include your dog in my daily life as if they’re part of the family. If they prefer a place to be calm by themselves, I have a few runs to offer for that as well. I also do in home training, as well as meeting up at dog friendly locations depending on the need of the dog.

I will work with you especially if you have any additional services that may need done like cleaning up your house, etc. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you consider me when choosing a pet sitter. I work full time but start at midnight until 8:30am. That gives me the ability to be able to be at your house all day with your pet(s)! That means they won't be lonely while you're gone! In your house, I will give your dog all the comfort that it needs because I'm sure not having their owner around will be an adjustment at first. I am able to take your pet on as many walks as needed, follow whatever food schedule that is required, and have as much cuddle time as they let me! I would care for your pet with the mindset that this is a little family member and treat it with the kindness and respect all animals deserve and I never bring anyone else over to the client's house.
About: I graduated with a BS in animal science with a companion animal emphasis, obtaining knowledge/experiences through classes, labs, internships, and employment. I worked as a veterinary assistant and kennel tech throughout undergrad seasonally and for several months post-grad at 2 different clinics. I also worked as a wildlife rescue & rehab intern and aquarist intern during undergrad, focusing on animal care and husbandry. Lastly, I have owned/helped care for family pets almost my whole life (including rodents, rabbits, and a dog) and have pet sat dogs and cats for family friends/neighbors on the side. I am beginning a full time gig on July 13. I will not be working a typical 9-5, so my availability may vary week to week and we can discuss further details upon inquiry! I will not make myself available if the time allotted is not appropriate to truly care for your pet. I deeply care about animals and would love to do what I can, especially since I cannot have my family pup & chinchilla with me at school. I will surely abide by clients' wishes regarding their caretaking directions and preferences. I will also be mindful and respectful of being in another person's space, and clean up after myself and the fur babies.
About: Hello and welcome! My name is Erika. I have a 3 year old who loves dogs and has wonderful dog manners. I am a SAHM and looking to get my dog fix! I love loving on and catering to your animal(s)! Long walks and vigorous play time are a critical role in my canine care routine. As always I pride myself in having the utmost respect of your already set routine with your loved one, and try to make the time spent with your animal flawless! I have been working with animals for 15 years and have a load of experience handling all sorts! Having worked at Waynesburg animal hospital, PVSEC emergency unit in Pittsburgh, Nemacolin woodlands with the wildlife academy and Pittsburgh zoo in the educational department. I have unwavering confidence in caring for your pet! Catering to their needs, and yours too! For owners interested in overnight stays or doggy drop off! A tour of my living spaces, accommodations I provide and cages are provided upon request.
About: Hi! I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up babysitting tons of puppies and adult dogs. I also have a so much love for them and they make me so happy. I have lots of experience with small dogs! I have a house with an enclosed big backyard as well! I will never be leaving them at home and will cuddle and be able to play with them 24/7. I currently am a student and I don’t have classes everyday or another full time job! I have a lot of time to give to these dogs. I make sure the dog is comfortable and safe. My number one priority is having them be as relaxed as possible and enjoy their day! I will always be at home which allows for regular potty breaks and a fenced in backyard as well to maximize their playing time. I have tons of experience with puppies as well!
“Thank you Mariah for caring for my two pups! I have a senior and a reactive dog that both require great patience and care. I am also fairly particular with who I trust caring for my dogs; however, Mariah was wonderful and made the pups comfortable. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! I’m Anjel. I have had dogs my entire life of all sizes and breeds and most definitely a dog person (Don’t worry cats, I love you too). I understand the hardships of raising a well-rounded pup and I’m here to help! Patience is always key with any pet. Besides having dogs my entire life, I also previously worked at a Doggie Daycare & boarding facility and have house sitting/pet sitting clients that have been with me from the start of my pet sitting career starting 18 years ago. I enjoy all puppies whether they are large or small, young or old. I have experience with a variety of dog breeds and do not turn away any breed. I have experience administering oral medications, eye drops, insulin (as well as testing before meals), and preparing meals for EPI dogs. I look forward to connecting with you! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns! I do prefer to stay within a 7 mile radius of my location, an additional fee $5 per visit/day will be added for those bookings greater than a 7 mile radius. I have open availability on the weekends and flexibility during the week. I currently work in Allegheny county right off of Rt. 51 so I am able to travel to all areas with ease. I am typically scheduled 8am to 4pm Monday through Friday but experience cancellations throughout the week where I’m typically home before 4pm. Leaving my morning availability open, possibility for mid day potty breaks when I experience cancellations, and my afternoon/evening open for walks, drop-in visits, and house/pet sitting duties. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I like to stick to the pet’s routine to avoid any changes in their typical schedule. I take extra precautions when it comes to open doors, ensuring they are correctly and safely in their crate when applicable, and accompanying them when outside for potty breaks. Safety is my number one priority as I know it would be devastating if any accidents were to happen and I am proactive in covering all the bases to ensure that they do not.
About: What sets me apart is my attention to detail and my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—whether your cat is shy, energetic, or senior, I adjust my care to make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m also patient and attentive, which helps when caring for nervous cats or those who need extra time to warm up. I have experience with administering basic medications, maintaining strict routines, and recognizing changes in behavior or health early on. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a SAHW—I prioritize it just like any other responsibility. I plan my schedule to ensure I’m available for consistent visits, whether that’s morning, afternoon, or evening. I’m very mindful of keeping pets on their normal routine, so I build my day around their feeding, playtime, and care needs. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether in my home or my client’s home. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely—feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure the space stays clean and your cat feels comfortable in their familiar environment. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe space with plenty of attention, enrichment, and a clean setup. I always prioritize safety, hygiene, and clear communication, and I send regular updates with photos.
About: I have been caring for my own variety of animals from reptiles, dogs cats, rodents for many years. I have 3 cats of my own. I also have many years experience as a kennel attendant, animal boarding facility manager and also have done cat rescue work as well. I love all animals but cats are my specialty. I also have taken pet first aid certification class too. I have a full time job that is also animal related with a very set schedule which allows me flexibility for part time pet sitting and delivery work. I would be consistently available as follows: Mondays 7-8AM 12PM-4PM & 8PM-10PM Tuesdays 7-8AM 2-4PM & 8PM-10PM Wednesdays 7-8AM 12PM-10PM Thursdays 7-8AM 12PM-4PM 8PM-10PM Fridays 7-8AM 12PM-4PM & 8PM-10PM Saturdays 7-8AM 3PM-10PM Sundays 8AM-10PM I can come to your home 2-3 times a day as needed for their care. I would love to talk with you further to answer any questions you may have and get to know you and your pets!
About: I’ve been around pets all my life. From the moment I was born we had cats and my family members had dogs. My cousin trains dogs and has been for 3 years, she gets them as little puppies and I am always around them. I walk dogs frequently and am around them frequently! I help a lot of people dog sit! I would like to get some extra cash and exercise while I am at school! I have an easy schedule this semester and would love to walk a dog or care for a pet. I’ve dog sitted many times before. Everytime I make sure I take them on walks, make sure they pee/poop, and feed them properly, but you can’t forget to love on them!! At home I love on my pets a lot, feed them, and change their litter box.
About: I’ve always had a dog in my family, sometimes multiple. I’m okay with muddy paws and slobbery kisses. I love animals and will care for your fur babies like they’re my own. I’m home most of the time and can give your pet a lot of attention and care. My yard is fenced and am willing to throw a ball or play for good exercise. My yard is fenced and I have a friendly dog that will love to play with yours. If your pet is shy I am able to keep them separate as well. Able to crate if needed.
About: Hello! My name is Natasha and I have had pets since I was born. I have personally taken care of over 6+ dogs, from a puppy to a senior, and from dogs 3lbs to 65lbs. I also have taken care of cats from a couple weeks old to senior of age for about 18 years and cared for dogs for 16 years. I have taken care of animals with special needs like prescription medicine for different health issues and physical needs as well. I have had many years of experience and will put my full heart and time into caring for a pet. I will give them plenty of time one on one, if needed 8+ hours. My full attention will be for any pets that I am taking care of 24/7. I have no preference on any type of dog or cat, age, or needs... I would be happy to take care or babysit any pet!

“Brittany was so kind and welcoming to my two high energy pups! She was so patient with them as they warmed up to her home while I was on a trip for 3 days. She also provided several updates and pictures of my boys while I was away, making me feel more at ease knowing they were in a safe environment. She's great!!!”
“Took great care of Khoda; Spent time with him, took him for walks, kept me updated daily with photos of him, he definitely did not want to come back home lol Thank you again for taking care of my dog and ensuring his attention-needs were met. I'll definitely be in contact for future trips/vacations, I know he can't wait to come back and see his human and dog friends again!”
“Sarah has pet sat my dog twice now while we were away, and we will book with her again next time we need a sitter. She is very nice and has taken good care of Letty. Letty also really enjoys the fenced in yard to run around in.”
“We had to unexpectedly go out of town and booked our dog’s stay through Rover after many years. It was very assuring that brie seemed to have a good time with Michelle and Tom. They were very understanding to Brie’s anxiety issues and very accommodating to Her dietary needs. Thank you Michelle, we will Surely keep brie with you when we go out.”
“Jordan provided a safe, calm, and secure place for our pup. She kept us informed with text and pictures and it was great seeing our pup so relaxed and happy while we were away. 💙”
About: Being around dogs has been the foundation of my life since the age of 3. From caring for my own pets, helping our neighbor who bred collies, and caring for dogs while also caring for my patients at work as a home health occupational therapist, I feel like every pet is part of my family. My heart is full around any four legged friend and I strive to care for them, show them the deepest love, and teach them as I do my own children. It’s in my blood! I currently work as a home health OT with a flexible schedule during the day. I also have windows of time during the evenings and weekends to care for any pet. Teaching my sons responsibility and skills required to care well for animals are just an added bonus! I own my home with a large yard in the rear of the home. I’m also able to provide in-home boarding as I do not currently have a pet in the home. I also am able to offer drop-in services to address any home needs (mail, plant care, shoveling or vacation mowing), dog-walking, and light housework. Additional services like dog-walking upon request- let’s make your time away painless without concern at home.
“I loved Gary and his wife they were soooo good to Teddy I didn’t even have to worry about my dog for the first time ever . Teddy can’t wait to come back !!! Thanks guys see you again soon”
“Another wonderful experience with Lindsay. I love how she treats my pup like her own and he seems to fit right in with her and her family. She is such a lovely person; I can't say enough good things and would recommend Lindsay to anyone.”
“We left our mini schnauzer in the BEST care for our 2 week trip away. Andrew, Karen, and Finn were the best hosts to our boy. We received many daily updates of photos/videos of Moose having the best time playing with Finn. They were always so quick to respond to any messages we sent. When we picked up Moose, he was clean and brushed. I’m one of those crazy dog moms and am 10000% happy with how Moose was taken care of! Thank you so much Andrew and Karen!”
“Emily and her family were wonderful caring for my dog Sunny! Emily treated Sunny as part of her family and was in constant communication with me to send pictures and updates. I had absolutely no concerns about Sunny while we were on vacation because I knew that Emily was giving Sunny so much love. I highly recommend her and will definitely have her care for Sunny in the future!!”
“She was amazing with my Tucker. He is very energetic and he was very happy. Fast responses to texts and plenty of pictures. Tucker was very sad to leave. Will definitely use her again.”
“My experience with Victoria was great! It was my 1st time using her service. She was very responsive when booking and scheduled a meet and greet to meet me and my dog and to show where he’d be staying. She was very flexible on drop off and pickup and sent updates and photos while he stayed with her. My dog is a picky eater and she hand fed him. I’ll definitely use her for my next trip!”
“Steve was amazing with our dog, Winnie. This was our first trip without her, and without Steve, I definitely would’ve been worrying about her and how she was doing. Instead, we got daily updates showing Winnie living her absolute best life and getting completely spoiled. Honestly, our only concern by the end was whether she’d want to come home. Steve is clearly an animal lover and just a cool person. If you want your dog to have an awesome vacation of their own, book with Steve.”
“Kristina was amazing with Lincoln! He was very nervous and shy at first but she did amazing with him. She sent updates and pictures over the weekend so we could stay updated with how he was doing.”
“Wade watched my two dogs- Reese and Rayne. Reese has medical needs requiring eye drops 4 times a day, pills twice a day, and three meal times with special food. He was able to take care of all of this and did a fabulous job with her, while also managing her rambunctious sister. Would definitely book with again!”
“Our first time working with Daniel and Christina was excellent! They took care of two of our dogs while we were gone for a week. Both dogs were super happy and healthy upon our return. It was obvious that they were well cared for. We received frequent photo updates of them and Daniel and Christina communicated really well with us. We will definitely use them again for future boarding needs!”
“THE BEST SITTERS!!!! So accommodating, so helpful, so friendly! So grateful to have found them on here. Frequent repeat customer! Thank you for all you do!”
