Thank you, Beth and Greg, for taking such great care of Linus 💕”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Girard
“I have been looking for a new dog sitter. My dog loves other dogs so I wanted her to have a playmate and the house needed a fenced in yard. Karen’s name popped up and I am so happy I found her. It’s difficult to leave your dog with a stranger for the first time but upon meeting Karen my fears were alleviated. She was very attentive to my dog and I was impressed that she had read my dogs bio prior to my arrival and already new the details I wanted her to know. I would highly recommend Karen to watch your dog.”
“Highly recommend Deanna to care for your pet. She made certain my dog had a safe environment. The house is setup perfectly for guest dogs. Additionally, I felt like I received exceptional customer service and Deanna demonstrated distinctive pet care competence. My best Rover experience to date.”
About: One of my favorite things to do is to take care of and spend time with all types of animales, but especially dogs. I love how they give unconditional love, and I love reciprocating that love! All my life I have taken care of all types of animals, including 12 years taking care of dogs. I am a stay at home mom and have unlimited time to spend taking care of dogs whether that be in boarding them or doggie day care or whatever a client needs in taking care of their dog. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I have a large lot(2 acres)to be able to walk and play with any dog that stays with me.
About: I am an excellent communicator and am very attentive to each customer. I will be sure to send you frequent updates and photos, these are the kinds of things that make me feel secure when I am away from ny pet. I am respectful and caring too. I will take great care of your space and show your pet lots of attention and affection. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! My job is pretty flexible so I can make most things work with enough notice. I'm happy to take your dog out in the morning, afternoon, or evening! If your request includes me entering your home I will be sure to follow your instructions while being careful, considerate, and keeping you informed via message and photos.
“Stephanie is awesome. When I leave my pets to her, I am worry free. She takes such a good care of our two dogs and she helps us with teaching our puppies some basic puppy manners. I highly recommend stephanie. I dont see myself using any other dog sitter than her in the future.”
“What an amazing young lady! Positive, concerned, kind and gentle! Willing to go the extra mile for Murray and us! She listened to us, gave us suggestions…this was our first time leaving Murray with anyone! Keely provided pictures of Murray and asked great questions the entire time she had Mur! Keely agreed to a meet and greet before her time with Murray and it went superbly well. She got down on her knees and talked to Murray. She gave him time to adjust to her and on our designated day Mur walked right up to her and gave her a kiss! It was great! It did our hearts gud! Mur is a senior dog and we are thankful to have found Keely:) She is and will be our go to person from now on!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life.

Pet care is a regular part of my routine that I could easily adapt to your requirements. I work a few hour during the week for a few days and have plenty of time to accommodate your needs. I have fenced yard if necessary for run time. But I can make time to visit the home of your pets for their comfort ability.

About: Hi! Welcome to my profile 😊 I’ve spent my whole life around animals and have many years of pet sitting experience. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, fish, and small animals, and I’m comfortable handling a wide range of needs. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting, my goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility in the afternoons and on weekends. I can often make other times work as well with a little notice! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow their routine, keep a calm environment, and make sure everything stays secure during visits. I’m also respectful of your home and always send updates so you can feel at ease.
About: I’m reliable, active, and patient, and I’ll treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, puppies who need structure, and senior dogs who may need a slower pace and extra care. My goal is to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Being a pet caretaker fits into my daily routine because I am able to work from home. This allows me the ability for check-ins/walks and for the consistency that a pet owner needs when they are away. In a client’s home, I follow the owner’s routine closely so their pet feels safe and comfortable. I can help with feeding, water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and check-ins. I’ll also respect the home, keep things clean, and make sure the pet is cared for before I leave.

My routine varies daily and weekly. Weekends and evening are more open but, depending on the day and mommy schedule, I can sometimes be available during the day on week days. Overnight stays can be available for house-sitting if my 14 pound, male dog, Franklin, can accompany me; he is very friendly and attached to me. I will connect with you one-on-one about your pets individual needs and follow their schedule and routine as you identify me to do. I respect your space and guidelines.
