“Carissa was an amazing host for our dog Cooper. She was great at communicating, sending us updates about our dog including pictures. Our dog Cooper had a blast with her dog Judge.”
“Adriana did a great job taking care of our two dogs for two weeks. She sent pictures multiple times per day, took the dogs for walks, and was very quick to respond to messages on Rover. Over Easter, she even set up a holiday-themed photo shoot with the dogs. We were very impressed. Her home is very clean and well taken care of. It’s set up like a professional doggy daycare, with multiple gated areas, a fully fenced backyard, an astro-turfed outdoor area, and multiple levels of locked gates outside for security. It’s the perfect setup.”
“This was my first time boarding my dog Marley, a senior small dog we adopted from the local shelter. When I was looking for a sitter on Rover, Chrisie's profile said she only accepts small dogs which made me more comfortable as I'm not sure how Marley would have been around large or aggressive dogs. We did a meet and greet and I knew she was going to be a great sitter. And she was !! She kept in touch with me and sent photos of Marley and Marley always looked so happy! And Chrisie loved Marley too and showed him so much love while she watched him for me. When I picked him up he looked like he was going to miss her and honestly that made me happy because I knew that he trusted her. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my Marley and I look forward to bringing him over again!”
“Joelene was awesome. She kept us informed with pictures while we were away every day and let us know if as situation(s) came up. We would definitely use her again if the need comes up.”
“Bee was great. Was able to get my pups in on short notice. My one dog has fear aggression with some people but was OK for Bee and even warmed up to her. She answered right away when I texted to check in on them. My dogs seemed happy and comfortable when I went to pick them up! Would certainly use her again for future trips if needed.”
“Fantastic experience! We have only had our dogs a few months, and we’re a little nervous about overnight care, but Chester put us at ease right away and our dogs had a great time!! Highly recommend.”
“This was the first time we boarded Gus so we were a little nervous leaving our baby. But we didn’t need to worry as he was so well taken care of! He seemed very comfortable, and came home extra sleepy from playing so much. I would absolutely have Gus stay again with Elizabeth!”
About: Hi! My name is Julia and i'm 33 years old. I have 2 little boys that are homeschooled. I've been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was a little girl! I have always had a nurturing personality and loved making sure they always had a clean environment and were always cared for. I've always groomed my own pets and I can also give any medications or shots they may need for medical conditions. I'd love to take your dog for a walk or play some fetch in the yard! I'll make sure they feel loved and cared for while you're away. I'm a stay at home mom of 2 little boys! My schedule is pretty flexible as my husband works from home and can take over being with the boys while I tend to your pets. I can play with your pet in your yard or take them for walks! I can crate them as well if needed. I can give food and water, clean litter boxes, and pick up after the dog. If your dog is staying in my home, my cats will be kept seperate from them so there is no issues or worries :)
About: I’ve grown up with pets and have experience with special needs animals, seniors and kittens/puppies. I can administer medicine and am very cognizant of a pet’s personality. For example I have a timid cat, a menace cat and a love bug cat. My Siberian husky is more cat than dog too. I can do drop ins or board dogs in my home. I can also stop by for walks. For the board ins I prefer to take in only dogs because I don’t want to stress the kitty crew out, but I’d be available to come do drop ins for the cats. My yard isn’t completely fenced so I’d probably take the doggos to the park at apple grove and for walks around town. I have three friendly cats and my husky also loves dogs.
“Tanjida and her husband are absolutely wonderful. They’ve very gentle, loving, and warm. They paid attention to Minks allowing her to open up and be hee loving self. Tanjida sent pictures and updates throughout the two days.”
“Tara was wonderful with my Boston Terrier, Roo, over Thanksgiving, and I couldn’t have been happier. Roo stayed at her home and was treated like family. I especially appreciated the regular updates and adorable photos she sent—it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of my little girl!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog overnight and Kerri made me feel so at ease! She was very responsive and sent plenty of updates. Kobe had such a good stay and enjoyed spending the night with her and her family! I will definitely use her again!”

“Kathryn and Jared were great with our female pittie with her 11 day stay. Their dogs welcomed her, and they had a great time just by looking at the pictures they sent. We will definitely use them the next time we go on vacation.”
“5 stars isn't enough to express my gratitude to Emily & Andre for the loving care and attention they give my boys - who come back from every visit happy and calm. Also very much appreciate the frequent updates, can't recommend them highly enough though selfishly I want to keep them to myself :)”

She communicated promptly and was willing to bring in the mail for us. I can certainly recommend her, and will contact her again should the need arise. Thank you, Darcy.”
“Logan was wonderful with our two kitties. They are very shy and skittish and Logan was patient and kind and wisely waited for them to make friends in their own time. Now they love him! He was great at keeping us informed, dependable, and helpful. He did everything we asked and spent lots of time with our pets. He even took care of some outside snow and ice for us!

About: Hi, Everyone! My name is Cara. Thank you for visiting my page. My strong admiration for animals has only grown more with the more animals I meet and as a result, it brings me genuine happiness. It is a rewarding experience to be able to take care of any animal that needs it while their owner is away.

I was always there to comfort her until the end of her life and spoiled her beyond belief. Myself and my family provided care to my mini schnauzer for over 12 years. As a child, I never had a dog sitter to send updates, pictures/videos for my sweet Zoie when my family would travel, so I strongly understand the importance of quick and reliable communication/sending updates while you’re away to ease your anxiety. Experience - administering medicine/injections - cats, big dogs, small dogs, senior animals, special needs pets, pigs, cows, chickens. -exercise/run with your pet -hospice/end of life care (Repositioning every hour, hand feeding, massages, cooking packs, frozen bone broth snacks on warmer days, the list goes on) Pets and animals deserve to be spoiled but most importantly, they deserve to be loved.

She stays at home with her other best friend, my significant other while I’m away. If you think I’d be a good fit for your fur baby or have any questions or concerns, I’m here to answer them all and hope you will consider me to take care of your pet. I work M-F through a nearby school, being able to provide supervision to animals while I am home.

“Aurora had a lovely retreat in the country with Amber in a beautiful setting with plenty of care and cuddles.

Hope Aurora has a chance to visit again!”

The bar I work at is also closed on Sundays and Mondays, so scheduling on those days is completely flexible.

I'm also equipped to handle medication needs. I don't crate my cats when I'm not home, so that would have to be provided by the client if there is a requirement for one.

She answered right away when I texted to check in on them. My dogs seemed happy and comfortable when I went to pick them up! Would certainly use her again for future trips if needed.”
“Fantastic experience! We have only had our dogs a few months, and we’re a little nervous about overnight care, but Chester put us at ease right away and our dogs had a great time!! Highly recommend.”
“This was the first time we boarded Gus so we were a little nervous leaving our baby. But we didn’t need to worry as he was so well taken care of! He seemed very comfortable, and came home extra sleepy from playing so much. I would absolutely have Gus stay again with Elizabeth!”
About: Hi! My name is Julia and i'm 33 years old. I have 2 little boys that are homeschooled. I've been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was a little girl! I have always had a nurturing personality and loved making sure they always had a clean environment and were always cared for. I've always groomed my own pets and I can also give any medications or shots they may need for medical conditions. I'd love to take your dog for a walk or play some fetch in the yard! I'll make sure they feel loved and cared for while you're away. I'm a stay at home mom of 2 little boys! My schedule is pretty flexible as my husband works from home and can take over being with the boys while I tend to your pets. I can play with your pet in your yard or take them for walks! I can crate them as well if needed. I can give food and water, clean litter boxes, and pick up after the dog. If your dog is staying in my home, my cats will be kept seperate from them so there is no issues or worries :)
About: I’ve grown up with pets and have experience with special needs animals, seniors and kittens/puppies. I can administer medicine and am very cognizant of a pet’s personality. For example I have a timid cat, a menace cat and a love bug cat. My Siberian husky is more cat than dog too. I can do drop ins or board dogs in my home. I can also stop by for walks. For the board ins I prefer to take in only dogs because I don’t want to stress the kitty crew out, but I’d be available to come do drop ins for the cats. My yard isn’t completely fenced so I’d probably take the doggos to the park at apple grove and for walks around town. I have three friendly cats and my husky also loves dogs.
“This was my first time leaving my dog overnight and Kerri made me feel so at ease! She was very responsive and sent plenty of updates. Kobe had such a good stay and enjoyed spending the night with her and her family! I will definitely use her again!”
“Kathryn and Jared were great with our female pittie with her 11 day stay. Their dogs welcomed her, and they had a great time just by looking at the pictures they sent. We will definitely use them the next time we go on vacation.”
“5 stars isn't enough to express my gratitude to Emily & Andre for the loving care and attention they give my boys - who come back from every visit happy and calm. Also very much appreciate the frequent updates, can't recommend them highly enough though selfishly I want to keep them to myself :)”
“Emily was fantastic with our dog, Noodle! We were only in town for the weekend for the wedding, but if I am ever in the area again, I would book with Emily again in a heartbeat! Our dog can be super shy around new people, and Emily made her feel at home right away! She sent pictures and videos which put my mind at ease that Noodle was settling in perfectly! She was extremely responsive and so caring for our fur baby! Cannot recommend Emily enough!”
“Mary did a great job. She sent us regular pictures and kept our energetic dog active and entertained. We picked our dog up much later in the day than we thought but Mary was very flexible w our schedule and stayed up till we arrived. I'd say she went above and beyond to take care of our pooch!”
“Sairy was amazing with Dutchie for a 6 night stay. Very flexible with pick up/drop off as well as communicative with picture and videos. I was able to relax on vacation knowing he was in Sairy’s care. Thank you again Sairy!”
“Jamie was great with our 2 dogs--we will definitely be repeat customers! We got updates, and pictures so we knew they were having a good time. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands.”
“Kat and Will were absolutely wonderful with our small but energetic dog. He had a proper doggy vacay in their gorgeous home. Absolutely no hesitation to recommend them to anyone. Thanks both!”
