Personalized care for your dog or cat - Edwardsville
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Edwardsville
“Daniela is an amazing pet sitter. To say she took great care of my fur baby is an understatement! Seriously, when you’re a fur mom it’s so hard to find someone that will genuinely care for your pet the way you do and I can honestly say Daniela exceeded doing her job! As someone who has anxiety, I was 100% relaxed knowing that my dog was in her care. He loved her family so much and had such a great time and they really bonded together. I recommend anyone looking for a sitter to book Daniela. She’s excellent and I will 100% book her again. Thank you so much!”
“Anna gave a great deal of attention to my nearly 17yo cockapoo who was blind and in diapers 24/7 the last yr. He had gotten down to 7 lbs from 16 but still spent every waking moment on the prowl for food. When I found out I had colon cancer that required surgery ASAP i took a couple days reading boarders profiles and reviews before choosing Anna. We talked extensively about peanut 2x before boarding. She got back yo me fast when contacted and sent daily video updates. As Peanut has severe separation anxiety, I was concerned but had to board him and I choose well! Anna is sweet, sensative, caring, & attentive to the animal. I would highly recommend her no matter your dog’s needs. Shes the best!”
“Adam was wonderful with Scout! I was a little nervous about boarding him since he usually stays with family, but Adam and his family truly made it feel like he was staying with relatives of his own. He sent regular updates and pictures throughout Scout's stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Every photo showed Scout looking happy, comfortable, and cozying up to everyone. It was clear he was getting plenty of attention and affection. When we picked Scout up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Adam made it so easy to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Scout was in great hands. We're incredibly grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely trust him with Scout again in the future!”
“From communication to care, Glenn was amazing! He took care of my Fluffy as if she were his own. I will definitely be re-booking with him and highly encourage all others to do the same!”
“Laura was extremely communicative prior to and throughout Harley's stay with her and her dog, Winter. Harley and Winter kept each other busy and the huge fenced rear yard was perfect for him to burn off energy. When indoors, Harley got plenty of love!”
“I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SARAH! She was able to watch my pup for the weekend with short notice. I was afraid leaving my dog because of his energy level, but she was amazing with him. She kept me updated throughout the weekend, and sent photos. :) if you’re looking for someone to watch your fur baby please go to her!”
“Cheyenne was great with my pup, Bruce, and very communicative. Photo and video updates showed how much fun Bruce had with her family and Waffles (Cheyenne’s pup) during his stay. When we picked him up, it was clear that he had a great time and would miss his new friends. We’ll definitely be using Cheyenne again in the future!”
About: I have cared for pets since I was a a child. My first pet chose me when I was about 5 years old. When I stayed with my babysitter, I would play with their cat all day. The babysitter gave me Tiger because they saw how much I loved her. Ever since then I cared for dogs and cats. I walj my dogs every day weather permitting. I bathe and brush them when needed. My little guys love playdates and are sooo friendly. I am currently retired, so I can provide exceptional care. I spend lots of time in my big fenced in yard, and eager to play fetch. Lots of playtime. I have so many toys. Big fenced yard and lots of time for running around. I also have a doggy door so all the fur babies can go out and in as much as they like.
About: I've been professionally caring for pets for over four years through my home-based pet sitting business, Yech's Pet Haven. I am also a licensed boarding facility, giving pet parents added peace of mind that their dogs are staying in a safe and compliant environment. During that time, I've cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, including puppies, seniors, and pets with special routines or medications. I have experience safely managing multiple dogs, supervising playtime, and making sure every pet receives the individual attention they deserve. Growing up surrounded by animals, including dogs, horses, and goats, has given me a lifelong understanding of animal behavior and care. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, low-stress environment where every pet feels right at home while you're away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. Since I run a home-based boarding facility, I am able to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and supervision throughout the day. I keep my boarding numbers small so each pet receives personalized care and plenty of one-on-one attention. My schedule is built around making sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their family is away. I provide a safe, calm, and loving home environment where pets can relax and feel comfortable. As a licensed boarding facility, I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and responsible pet care. I carefully manage introductions, supervise interactions, and separate pets during meals, rest time, or whenever needed. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and individual preferences, so they feel right at home.
“Adriana was fantastic! Her home is a perfect setup. She has multiple spaces for the dogs inside and out. She is also a very good communicator. Sent lots of pictures and video every day! My dog Rocky was cared for like he was her own. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I'm a pre-vet student at UVM with a lifelong passion for animals and hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. Back home, I help care for my family's pack of four pups — a sweet Yorkie and three energetic Dachshunds (ages 13 to just 7 months). I've also raised cats and hope to one day have a Golden Retriever and Australian Shepherd of my own! Whether your dog needs a midday walk, weekend company, or just some extra love while you're away, I bring patience, enthusiasm, and a future-vet’s dedication to every visit. I’m looking to build even more experience with animal care during the school year, and would love to be part of your pet’s routine! Let’s chat — I’d love to meet your furry family! I’m currently a full time student, but I have pretty much all of the day available on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and full availability on the weekends! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At home, I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I’m experienced with using kennels when needed — especially for puppies who benefit from structure. I always make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and love, including regular walks and playtime. I’m also confident transporting pets in the car, making sure they’re secure and calm. I treat every animal like my own, and I’m committed to creating a stress-free, loving environment wherever they are.
“Charlie had so much with Jack and Joanne that he came home and crashed for four hours straight. He was so happy when we arrived, he snuck up behind Jack, tapped him with his front paws, and licked him. He doesn't even do that to me. Thanks so much!”
“Christy and her family were great with our dog Bucky, who is an excitable one year old Australian Cattle Dog. I got regular updates and felt very good leaving our pup with her.”

“Ashley was a wonderful sitter! This is our first time using Rover so we weren’t sure what to expect, but Ashley put our minds at ease and took excellent care of our cats. We will definitely ask her to sit again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Andrew and would absolutely recommend him! From the start, his communication was excellent; he was responsive, reliable, and kept us updated throughout our time away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Andrew was incredibly professional and took great care of our two cats. It was clear that he was attentive to their individual needs and genuinely cared about making sure they were comfortable and well cared for while we were gone. We came home to two happy cats and everything exactly as it should be. It can be nerve-wracking using a new sitter for the first time, but Andrew made the entire experience easy and stress-free. We felt completely comfortable having him care for our cats and will be happily booking him in the future!”
“It was wonderful to have you come spend time with our kittens, Jen! Everything was just as we left it and our kittens were happy and comfortable. We appreciate all the time you spent playing with them”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats as pets, so have lifelong experience caring for animals. My family owned a small farm for a period of time, so I also gained experience with horses in addition to cats and dogs. We owned a German Shepard and a cockapoo, so I do have direct experience with both smaller and larger dogs. In high school, I took 4 years of animal science, which further advanced my knowledge of pets and gave me hands on experience in a pre-veterinarian science atmosphere. I plan on returning to school in the near future to further my studies in the animal sciences field and pursue a career as a Veterinarian Technician. I have had a life full of loving animals and live to care for them any way I can.
“First time using Rovr. Anna was amazing!!! She was available last minute after my caretaker cancelled and guided me through the process. She wrote me an update and sent lots of pictures. My usually shy Solame typically hides when she meets new people, but she greeted Anna at the door and even ate treats out of her hand before she left. Highly recommend!”
“Jill was amazing! She was very thorough with ensuring she covered all of Izzy’s routine while she was here. She communicated with me the whole time and gave me updates. I also felt very comfortable having her stay at my home. We will definitely be using Jill again to care for our kitty!!”
“I would rehire Adam for any Pet related service I need in the future. He took good care of my two cats, one with special needs. He followed directions and did what was asked of him and kept me updated. Couldn’t ask for anymore. thanks Adam. I’ll keep you in mind for the future.”
“I give Jared a 5-Star ***** rating for today’s visit . Hershey bonded with Jared way beyond my expectations. As the saying goes: “A picture tells a thousand words.” And Hershey looked happy. My dog was safe and loved. I will be booking Jared again through Rover! I highly recommend Jared as well. 🐾💕🐾”
“We booked Kennedy for drop in visits for our two young cats. First time using this service, and we were very pleased! Kennedy took wonderful care of our kitties, sending photos and feeding and activity updates each day. She washed up pet dishes and even brought in our mail, going the extra mile and putting our minds at ease while we were away!”
“Kim communicated, was helpful, and extraordinarily caring! I know my boys were well taken care of and we are happy to have her sit anytime! She sent us pictures and even bought in our mail! Thank you Kim!!”
“May was awesome with my two dogs. One dog was diagnosed with diabetes this year and has developed diabetic cataracts. I hesitated to leave them at home on a recent trip, but May took great care of my girls! She is wonderful and did a great job administering Bitsy's insulin. She has my highest possible recommendation!”
“Melissa is beyond a 5 star sitter!! I was very anxious leaving my 2 labs while I went away for a few days. Melissa had a meet and greet with them and answered all my questions. I was SO relieved! She sent pictures twice a day which kept me reassured the pups were doing well. She went above and beyond!!”
About: I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll send photo updates, follow your pet’s routine closely, and treat them like they’re my own 🐾❤️ I’m currently a senior high school student that has lots of free time after school so doing pet care after my school business will be no such problem at all! Every since I was young I’ve always had love for animals and now that I can willingly take care of them for people I’m need of help I’m super excited to show the skills and care I offer to their pets!
“I felt so at ease! Daniela and her daughter made sure to provide updates and pictures! They are so warm and welcoming and Midnight loves them! I will certainly be booking with Daniela again and highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover! I started dog-sitting in high-school and it’s been my favorite job so far. I’ll also care for your kitties & home! I work days M-F but love hanging out with your pets on evenings & weekends! I occasionally offer overnights when I know my own pups are accounted for. I am very attentive to the pets I watch, and like to make sure they’re feeling safe & comfortable, even when their owners are away. Lots of happy energy!

“Talia had a great day! Her first time with Donald and Karen along with her first time away from since I rescued her in January. She had such a good time that when I arrived she was in the chair looking at me like I have to go home already. The pictures Donald sent were great to get and it warmed my heart to see how she settled in. Will definitely book again and highly recommend.”

I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, so I try to keep their normal routine as much as possible — same feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of love and attention. In my home, pets become part of the family! I have two pups of my own, so I understand the importance of making sure everyone feels comfortable, supervised, and included. I’m happy to provide a calm environment with lots of playtime, cuddles, and attention. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping things familiar and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely, keep your pets on their usual schedule, send updates and pictures, and make sure you come home to happy, well-cared-for pets.

She allowed me to stay in her home for a few minutes to see how Bella would interact with her dogs and family. I got pictures and videos and that made me feel much better. I was very anxious but was able to enjoy the day with my husband. Thank you Christy for taking good care of my baby.”

About: Hi my name is Michael. I am a current senior at Wilkes who is looking to get involved in the local community. I have spent several years caring for dogs. I have two of my own at home in Stroudsburg (pit mixes), and in high school and over breaks I have pet sat and walked dogs for over a dozen homes in my community. I take pride in being a student leader and a future educator, as well as being responsible, dependable, and knowledgeable. For instance, I am well versed in dog body language, basic obedience, and many different breeds and personalities (small to big, guardian breeds, I love them all!). I am happy to reinforce the rules, expectations, and training that you have with your pet, or teach small new things like leash manners. Whether your dog needs to burn some energy, or just needs someone to check in on them throughout the week, I hope that you will consider me! Being a college student, my schedule is actually pretty flexible. I am generally available for: Morning/Midday walks/check-ins throughout the work week. Afternoon and evening visits on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Weekend stays or longer visits potentially as well. If you have any questions please reach out and I can see if we can work something out! Being a pet parent myself, I understand the varying needs and concerns when it comes to a pet sitter. Because of that, I take time to speak with all owners about expectations, routines, and how they would like me to approach their home and pets. I usually like to meet all pets with the owners before beginning care as well, simply to ensure that they are comfortable with me. Generally, I will also take notice and respond to any body language or comfort concerns, exercise and training expectations, feeding and medication routines, and any other requests that an owner or pet may bring! If you have any questions please also reach out!
“Adam provided an outstanding care to my dog. He also feeded him and followed all instructions. I had an emergency and as a last minute request he immediately responded. Adam was very friendly with my dog after checking camaras inside and outside my home.”
About: I have health care experience from my daily career and I've been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was a little girl. This includes several kitten rescues and rehoming. My little girl abby was a recue. Feeding, grooming, litter care needs, emotional support, love, time, and attention all go towards my cat at home on a daily basis. It's a labor of love. I would approach each clients needs with focus on respect, reliability, attention to details, and loving care towards each clients pet. I understand each clients needs will be individual.
About: I believe pets are part of the family and should be treated that way. I have had many pets and love their companionship and have also included them in my daily routine I’m currently unemployed after 34 years with the same employer, I am dependable and experienced as evidenced by the amount of dedicated service to my former employer. I am responsible and really enjoy the outdoors and including my dog in daily activities outside We walk our German Shepherd daily and play with her in the yard. I have 2 cats as well that love to cuddle . We spoil them!
About: When I was young I had 5 cats, Yuna, Spooky, Toby, Rose, and JD, rest in peace, I loved them all a lot and they were with me for a long time, especially Yuna. But now I have 2 Cats, one of which is in the room with me as I write this Bio. His name is Spuds, there's a second one, a Black Cat called Casper who's definitely a handful, but regardless I love the two beyond measure. I've taken care of the two as long as I've had them. My experience isn't just limited to Cats, as I've been around Dogs just as long as I've been with Cats. My mother growing up was a Dog Walker, so I naturally have a lot of second-hand experience with Dog Walking and know the basics. She'd take me and my sister all across Brooklyn 5 days a week to walk 3 Dogs, sometimes more. Furthermore my big brother has a Pitbull mix, whom I've also walked plenty of times. This may be my first time as an actual dogwalker/pet sitter, but I'm certainly not inept. This is my first job, so you better believe I have more than enough free time to take care of your pet, no matter what time of day. Unless of course I have other things to do, such as errands, or any other responsibilities that come up, but you will obviously be warned and told about said responsibilities in advance. I play and cuddle my Cats a ton everyday, along with feeding them and cleaning their litterboxes. And with Dogs, I know how much they need their outside time, so I'd obviously take them outside for Walks or fresh air routinely. I may have less experience with other pets, but so long as you give me proper details on how to take care of them, I could care for just about any pet you ask. Be it Rabbits, Turtles, Lizards, etc.
About: Hi, I'm Robyn, a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of trusted experience caring for dogs & cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I've grown up with a variety of animals my entire life (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, mice). For the past decade, I've been the go to pet sitter and dog walker for family and friends. Whether it’s high energy pups or senior cats who just want some company, I treat every pet like my own with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Before I was old enough to work, I spent time volunteering at a local animal shelter during my teen years. It gave me early hands on experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities and needs, and helped shape my lifelong love and respect for animals. Right now, I share my home with a 5 year old beagle named Scout who I’ve raised since he was a puppy. Whether you're looking for reliable walks, drop ins, or overnight care, you can count on me to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I send regular updates and photos, and I always follow your care instructions to the letter. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! As a stay at home mom, I'm home and active throughout the day, which allows me to fit pet care into my regular routine. During the school year I'm available for walks and visits from 9am-2pm during the week, and I have full day availability on Sunday. During the summer I have full availability Sunday-Tuesday. I'm used to planning my days around care and routines, so incorporating pet care feels like a natural fit. Whether it's a morning walk to start the day, a dinner time drop in, or extended weekend care, I make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow the pet parent's instructions closely to ensure consistency and comfort for their pet. I'm very detail oriented and make sure routines, feeding, medications, and preferences are followed exactly as requested. I also let the pet guide the pace of our interactions whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply being a calm, reassuring presence. My goal is to make them feel safe, respected, and as relaxed as possible while you're away
About: I've taken care and rescued all sorts of animals from guinea pigs to giant pitties. I have been in rescue for about 9 years. It comes out of pocket, but if I don't save them or help who will? I am also good at medication injection and oral administration of medication as well. I can do walks, check in's, doggy day care, house sit, etc. I will accommodate your needs for your furbaby. I am not afraid of bigger dogs as most people might be. I think of them as giant teddy bears. I will send plenty of updates and pictures as I know leaving your furbaby with a stranger can be absolutely nerve wrecking. Whatever makes my customer happy I will be more than willing to meet their request. Just give me instruction, your furbabies name, any allergies, medications, walk/yard time and frequency, feeding schedule, and any other information you see fit and I guarantee your precious furbaby will find a new friend! I am currently employed part time and in school part time this semster over at Johnson College for Veterinary Nursing. My schedule is pretty packed, but I will make accommodations with you to accommodate the needs of your furbabies or ones with scales. I moved in March of last year so boarding at the new place might be a bit busy. I do have enough room to accommodate at least 3 dogs. I don't have a fenced in yard at my apartment however I love to take them on long walks. I have walked dogs of all sizes. Super tiny to 100+lbs. I also have my own pupper Krypto so if boarding at my home please make sure your dog is other dog friendly as well as cats. I have 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 rat and a goldfish. If you are looking to board in my home I suggest a meet & greet to make sure your furbabies and mine are safe for their stay. I care for my clients furbabies like they are my own. I make sure the furbabies are happy and healthy. I will make sure my clients needs and wants are met. If you need me to watch them at your house, your house will be treated like my home. I will make sure your home is like you left it. I love to send updates because I know leaving your furbabies is really nerve wrecking.
“The sweetest person I've met and my pup loves he so much couldn't ask for a better person to watch him when I wasn't able to. Very attentive when feeding and walking him at the times needed. Will definitely use her again when needed.”
“Doreen was fabulous with our Westie, Tuck! I got a number of photos and updates while I was out of town, and I knew he was in great hands with her. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker!”
About: Hi there! I can walk far distances and I get along with dogs well! I live next to a walking trail so it is perfect for a nice walk, dogs love it! I also live next to some parks so I can play with your dog to blow off some steam so they are less destructive later! I clean up after any messes and will keep your dog hydrated and happy. I can handle breeds both big and small with ease. Not willing to handle aggressive dogs, sorry! Leash trained dogs are preferred. I hope to be able to walk your dog soon! Avaliable rain, shine, and even snow! Please let me know of any triggers or potential allergies before hand, thank you very much!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was eight. Not only my own personal pets, but also those of friends and family members. I do not currently have any pets, but I love animals, so this is my way to interact and spend time with them! I currently attend school, but my classes are spread out and only on certain days so I have plenty of time to take your dog on a nice, long walk. I'm really good as being able to tell if an animal is comfortable in a situation or not, so after our first walk, I can find the most enjoyable route for your dog!

“Daniela is an amazing pet sitter. To say she took great care of my fur baby is an understatement! Seriously, when you’re a fur mom it’s so hard to find someone that will genuinely care for your pet the way you do and I can honestly say Daniela exceeded doing her job! As someone who has anxiety, I was 100% relaxed knowing that my dog was in her care. He loved her family so much and had such a great time and they really bonded together. I recommend anyone looking for a sitter to book Daniela. She’s excellent and I will 100% book her again. Thank you so much!”
“Anna gave a great deal of attention to my nearly 17yo cockapoo who was blind and in diapers 24/7 the last yr. He had gotten down to 7 lbs from 16 but still spent every waking moment on the prowl for food. When I found out I had colon cancer that required surgery ASAP i took a couple days reading boarders profiles and reviews before choosing Anna. We talked extensively about peanut 2x before boarding. She got back yo me fast when contacted and sent daily video updates. As Peanut has severe separation anxiety, I was concerned but had to board him and I choose well! Anna is sweet, sensative, caring, & attentive to the animal. I would highly recommend her no matter your dog’s needs. Shes the best!”
“Adam was wonderful with Scout! I was a little nervous about boarding him since he usually stays with family, but Adam and his family truly made it feel like he was staying with relatives of his own. He sent regular updates and pictures throughout Scout's stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Every photo showed Scout looking happy, comfortable, and cozying up to everyone. It was clear he was getting plenty of attention and affection. When we picked Scout up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Adam made it so easy to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Scout was in great hands. We're incredibly grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely trust him with Scout again in the future!”
“Laura was extremely communicative prior to and throughout Harley's stay with her and her dog, Winter. Harley and Winter kept each other busy and the huge fenced rear yard was perfect for him to burn off energy. When indoors, Harley got plenty of love!”
“I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SARAH! She was able to watch my pup for the weekend with short notice. I was afraid leaving my dog because of his energy level, but she was amazing with him. She kept me updated throughout the weekend, and sent photos. :) if you’re looking for someone to watch your fur baby please go to her!”
“Cheyenne was great with my pup, Bruce, and very communicative. Photo and video updates showed how much fun Bruce had with her family and Waffles (Cheyenne’s pup) during his stay. When we picked him up, it was clear that he had a great time and would miss his new friends. We’ll definitely be using Cheyenne again in the future!”
“Adriana was fantastic! Her home is a perfect setup. She has multiple spaces for the dogs inside and out. She is also a very good communicator. Sent lots of pictures and video every day! My dog Rocky was cared for like he was her own. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I'm a pre-vet student at UVM with a lifelong passion for animals and hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. Back home, I help care for my family's pack of four pups — a sweet Yorkie and three energetic Dachshunds (ages 13 to just 7 months). I've also raised cats and hope to one day have a Golden Retriever and Australian Shepherd of my own! Whether your dog needs a midday walk, weekend company, or just some extra love while you're away, I bring patience, enthusiasm, and a future-vet’s dedication to every visit. I’m looking to build even more experience with animal care during the school year, and would love to be part of your pet’s routine! Let’s chat — I’d love to meet your furry family! I’m currently a full time student, but I have pretty much all of the day available on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and full availability on the weekends! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At home, I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I’m experienced with using kennels when needed — especially for puppies who benefit from structure. I always make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and love, including regular walks and playtime. I’m also confident transporting pets in the car, making sure they’re secure and calm. I treat every animal like my own, and I’m committed to creating a stress-free, loving environment wherever they are.
“Charlie had so much with Jack and Joanne that he came home and crashed for four hours straight. He was so happy when we arrived, he snuck up behind Jack, tapped him with his front paws, and licked him. He doesn't even do that to me. Thanks so much!”
About: I am 25 year's old I love work with animals, walk in the parks and play around with them. I have one cat but he is friendly and lazy like a cat. I can take your dog to walk and take care of your cat like how you will do it. I do not have a experience working as a Rover but I learn fast. I love animals that is the reason that I'm decide to work doing something that I will enjoy and do it happly. If you decide to give the honnor to care of your pet you will no regret. I have the time and the patience I am smart and agile. Never discourage anyone...who continually makes progress, no matter how slow. Plato. I work a standard weekday schedule from 7 AM to 4 PM, meaning my late afternoons and evenings are completely free after 4 PM for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. My weekends are fully open! I frequently spend my free time hiking, walking, and exploring trails in state parks and natural areas, so I’d love to take your dog along for some great exercise and outdoor adventures. Because my property features an open, unfenced yard, I never let dogs outside off-leash. Your pet will always be securely handled during bathroom breaks and walks. I focus on providing a safe, strictly supervised environment both indoors and outdoors to give you complete peace of mind while you are away.
“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.”
About: I've grown up with no less than 2 dogs at a time. Now I have 3 of my own and I am looking to open my home and offer my services since I am home full time!! We are always outside playing, going for walks and experiencing nature!! I would love to have the opportunity to care for other peoples animals!! The passion I have for animals could definitely be of use to many :) Let me know how I can help!! I work from home and I’m able to constantly care for my 3 pups. The more the merrier! I get up early and run the pups, feed them and let them sunbathe out back. Pets are allowed on our furniture and are treated as the family that they are. I have a fully fenced in yard, plenty of toys and puppy friends to keep your babe occupied and having the time of their lives! My dogs also have their own crates if our visitor is uneasy around our dogs.
