“Had a meet and greet with Betsy for our corgi, Maggie ,last Thursday. Today Maggie spent 4 hours with Betsy. Betsy was excellent with her and their home and environment is dog friendly. Betsy has also been very responsive to any texts or requests that I have sent to her. We have arranged for Maggie to have a sleep-over in July!”
“Cooper had a great week with Beth and her family! He was pampered and cuddled. We got a picture or video every day. We had a great vacation knowing Cooper was also having a great week! We would highly recommend Beth for your pet!”
“I had a great experience with Jo-Ellen! My dog was very well taken care of. She was very happy to be in a home with another dog her size. I got pictures and updates throughout the entire weekend. And Jo-Ellen is just such a kind person. Will absolutely use in the future!”
“Anna was the perfect match for our dog. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous. Anna communicated throughout the entire stay and kept us updated with pictures. Our pup was loved and cared for as if she was part of Anna’s family. We are so thankful for Anna and would recommend for others.”
“Kaylee was awesome to work with, from the time we 1st contacted her for a meet and greet with her dog and ours, to the day we picked her up. Communication was great, letting us know how our girl was doing and pictures daily +. We will definitely use again if/when the need arises. Thank you Kaylee for loving on Zoey like she was your own. ❤️”
“Kristin was a kind soul and a Godsend for our dog when we had to make plans in a hurry. Our dog is nervous around new people but she didn’t want to leave! Five stars. :)”
“Angelita is accommodating and her prices are reasonable. She was quick to respond to my request and she welcomed Aurora into her home with open arms. She texted me updates and photos to make sure I knew how things went. She also responded quickly to texts from me checking in. I will definitely book with Angelita again when I am in need of a sitter for our dog.”
“Amber did an amazing job with Parker, he came back super relaxed and sleepy. She was a huge help when we were down on our luck and had just a few days to book a boarding. Her home is super safe for all kinds of puppies, and her children were great with Parker. I definitely recommend booking, and will book again!”
“Lisa was incredible! This was my first time leaving my dogs with a “stranger”, and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Lisa updated me with pictures often, and even sent my babies home with a photo album of pictures!! My girls loved her, and we will be using her in the future!! ❤️”
“We just love having Mollie take care of our puppy. She is great at communicating and working with our schedule. Our puppy gets so excited and happy when we arrive! Mollie and her family are so thoughtful and considerate and it is very reassuring to know our pup is safe and content while we are away.”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life from German Shepherds to our little cavachon. Since my kids are getting older and don’t need as much help, I have time to take care of your precious pets when you need it! I’m here to take care of everyone! My day is full of making sure every person and every pet has what they need! Walking, sleeping, eating, drinking, and mess making-someone has to take care of it all! I have a good sized yard and a nice wooded park with walking paths nearby for daily walks and outside time. Our home is clean and comfortable with big kids coming and going who love animals like I do!
“Luna had a great time staying at Cera’s. Cera went above and beyond in making sure Luna felt at home, taking her on runs, lots of snuggles, and sharing an abundance of updates. Would definitely book again.”

About: I grew up around dogs and understand the love, attention, and exercise they need to be happy and healthy. I have a passion for the outdoors and enjoy everything from casual neighborhood walks to longer adventures. When caring for your dog, I’ll treat them like one of my own—providing plenty of attention, exercise, and care while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I work Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which allows me to provide dog walking services in the evenings and on weekends. Most weekends I am available, especially with a little advance notice to plan ahead. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that fits both their needs and mine. Growing up with dogs and having a love for the outdoors, I enjoy spending time walking and caring for pets, ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Having grown up with dogs and spent years caring for them, I understand their body language and can recognize when they’re tired, stressed, overwhelmed, or simply need a break. I will treat your dog as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and attention to their individual needs—so you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring and capable hands.
“Michael was very accommodating regarding booking my pup’s stay being that it was somewhat last minute. This was the first time I had booked with Michael, and everything was great. He was very attentive and communicated with me throughout the three-day stay. He did Pup Painting with her, and she came home with her masterpiece! I know my baby was taking care of, and I will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”

“We re-booked Jen to care for our three cats and she did not disappoint. She took excellent care of our cats, kept me updated with photos, and even brought in some unexpected packages that were delivered. Best of all, she was able to connect with William, our scaredy-cat who's afraid of everybody, and it seems like he had a great time and got lots of playtime while we were away. I'm so glad to have found Jen, someone I can rely on to care for my boys as if they were her own, and also trust with my home. Thank you, Jen!!!”
“Jess was incredibly caring with my four cats while we were away in Greece for two weeks. My senior cat requires daily medication and extra monitoring due to his diabetes, and Jess did a fantastic job making sure he was eating well, taking his medication, and using the litter box normally. She also made sure my three one-year-old babies were well cared for and gave them plenty of extra playtime to help burn off all that kitten energy. Jess was excellent with communication and sent daily updates and photos of the babies. I was able to fully relax and enjoy my vacation knowing they were in such good hands. It’s also clear that Jess truly loves animals. She cared not only for our cats, but also for the neighborhood stray cats, and even adopted one of the sweet strays and gave him a loving home. Jess left a wonderful gift bag for the cats, and we came home to happy, well-cared-for babies and a clean house. We look forward to working with Jess again for our next getaway and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter.”
“Jo-Ellen is a great pet sitter, very responsible and caring with love to my cats. I’m sure I’ll ask her services next time. Thanks so much , Jo for your wonderful service..”
“Carissa was so mindful and caring with my kitties, and was so gentle with giving my 20yo kitty her meds. She even took out my trash when I forgot, and sent lots of pictures every day I was away. Absolutely will be booking again, thank you so much!! 💙”
“Blayze was very accommodating and professional. She took care of both of our pups above and beyond expectations, and our one dog is a bit of a trouble maker. If you need a reliable dog sitter don’t hesitate to contact Blayze, 10/10 would recommend.”

About: I have had both dogs and cats my entire life. I had 2 golden retrievers as a child and have had 3 cats throughout my life. My rescue cat Frisky was with me for 23 years!

I work a normal 9-5 Monday- Friday job but I am happy to stop by after work to watch, feed, and spend time with animals and am especially interested in pet sitting on the weekends! I want to know ahead of time about your pet. What is their temperament like? Are they okay with new people? Are they treat motivated? What is their typical routine? Things like that. I want your pet to feel the most comfortable they can with their owners not being there. If your pet loves snuggles, I am more than happy to oblige. If they like walks or toys, I’m your girl! Whatever it is, I want to know what you feel is best for your pet!

“Fernando was a lifesaver. We needed a doggy daycare while intonation for a funeral and he was available on short notice. Foster was happy and tired when we picked him up. Looks like he had a good time and was well taken care of. Thank you!”

“I had such a great experience with Lydianis! She watched my dog overnight and took amazing care of him. She kept me updated the whole time with photos, which gave me real peace of mind.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve fostered and rescued dogs, cats, litters of puppies, and litters of kittens, giving me hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Through fostering, I’ve worked with a wide range of temperaments, including shy and fearful animals, high-energy pets, senior pets, and those needing extra patience and reassurance. I’m comfortable reading animal body language, following care instructions, administering basic medications when needed, and helping pets feel safe and comfortable while their families are away. As a pet owner and foster caregiver, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care and plenty of updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to treating your pets like they’re part of my own family!

About: My family has had a dog my entire life, but I got MY first dog when I was 12 years old. He was my best friend and his name was Tucker. He was an Australian Shepherd and we spent most of our time together. I taught him how to sit and shake his paw...we even mastered a high five. Tucker and I went through life together. He was my copilot, my swimming buddy, my listening ear and the best pillow to lay my head on. In his late years, Tucker's vision and hearing were mostly gone, but he could always find me with his nose! Near the end of his life Tucker lost the connections from his brain to his back legs. I had to carry him outside to use the bathroom and that was when I knew it was time to let him go. Tucker passed away in my arms in October of 2021. My life was forever changed by my furry best friend. He was lucky to have a furry friend for the last 5 months of his life. We adopted an American Staffordshire Terrier in July of 2021 and he has brought so much joy to our home and has helped my kids with the passing of Tucker. Rumble is our puppy and I have house trained him and he is very good with kids and other dogs. I am currently working from home so it gives me a lot of flexibility to let your pups out to play and to make sure they have a lot of free time throughout the day. My lap is always free for any pup that needs a seat and some back scratches! I have a very friendly dog that would love to have play time with your dog, but I also have a crate for my dog should they need some time apart. I have a large back yard and I have 30' leads for the dogs to run around on. I am willing to give treats if you wish and your pup is welcome to bring their favorite toys and a blanket from home to smell for comfort.

We have a toddler bed for your pup to sleep on or a king size bed to share. My home has a fenced in yard and three friendly Golden Retrievers. I have four children in the home from ages 5-11. We have a quiet room that can be fenced off if your dog needs some quiet time.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Im currently working a part-time job, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets! Im available on the weekdays and the weekends! I will make sure when we are outside going on walks that we are in a safe environment and that we are not ever in any danger and while we are home l will make sure that the dog is not getting into trouble that it could harm itself if it’s gets into something it’s not suppose to!
“Cassidy is awesome! I could tell from the daily photos and reports that my dog was very happy and comfortable with her. It gave me peace of mind while I was a while to know my dog was in good hands. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of other friends dogs including senior dogs. I currently own a two year old black lab mix named Atlas. I love walking dogs and would love the opportunity to meet yours! During the school year, I am currently available 8:30-5 most days during the week. Boarding is also available in the evenings and on the weekends. Although I do not have a fenced in yard, there is plenty of space to walk in my neighborhood. I also have one dog who is friendly with other dogs. I am comfortable crating dogs when needed.
About: I have been caring for animals of all kinds since I was a child, but professionally for almost 8 years now! I have experience with all sorts of animals, most commonly dogs though! I have extensive experience with senior pets, puppies, and disabled pets. I am always available and dedicate my time to making the experience great for your pet while you're away. I currently work from home and make my own hours, so my availability is completely open! I can work around whatever hours you need and I am available for long periods of time as well. My home is very animal friendly! I do have crates available for pets that need to be crated, however since I am home almost all of the time- it's rarely necessary! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a very big plot of land in the back that we can walk around and play on!
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I have owned dogs for my whole adult life and cannot imagine life without their companionship, and unconditional love. I will love on your furry baby(s), as if he, she ,or they were my own. During a visit , I make sure dog (s) are o.k.., any instructions left by you are followed. If I notice anything just not right or normal going on with your pet I will contact you immediately. I will also call or text after a visit to make sure you know your baby is o.k.. I can take pictures and text them to you. I have no problem walking your pet as long as it is not icy, not bothered by cold or heat. I have excellent references. I work part time from home so my schedule is flexable. I can arrange my schedule during the day to take care of your pets Our dogs get out several times a day in a fenced yard under supervision. I would need to be confident that my clients have a secure backyard or dogs are leashed when I take them out. I also always check on their surroundings, and make sure they have fresh water and if needed anything else client requests during a visit.

“Had a meet and greet with Betsy for our corgi, Maggie ,last Thursday. Today Maggie spent 4 hours with Betsy. Betsy was excellent with her and their home and environment is dog friendly. Betsy has also been very responsive to any texts or requests that I have sent to her. We have arranged for Maggie to have a sleep-over in July!”
“Cooper had a great week with Beth and her family! He was pampered and cuddled. We got a picture or video every day. We had a great vacation knowing Cooper was also having a great week! We would highly recommend Beth for your pet!”
“I had a great experience with Jo-Ellen! My dog was very well taken care of. She was very happy to be in a home with another dog her size. I got pictures and updates throughout the entire weekend. And Jo-Ellen is just such a kind person. Will absolutely use in the future!”
“Anna was the perfect match for our dog. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous. Anna communicated throughout the entire stay and kept us updated with pictures. Our pup was loved and cared for as if she was part of Anna’s family. We are so thankful for Anna and would recommend for others.”
“Kaylee was awesome to work with, from the time we 1st contacted her for a meet and greet with her dog and ours, to the day we picked her up. Communication was great, letting us know how our girl was doing and pictures daily +. We will definitely use again if/when the need arises. Thank you Kaylee for loving on Zoey like she was your own. ❤️”
“Kristin was a kind soul and a Godsend for our dog when we had to make plans in a hurry. Our dog is nervous around new people but she didn’t want to leave! Five stars. :)”
“Angelita is accommodating and her prices are reasonable. She was quick to respond to my request and she welcomed Aurora into her home with open arms. She texted me updates and photos to make sure I knew how things went. She also responded quickly to texts from me checking in. I will definitely book with Angelita again when I am in need of a sitter for our dog.”
“Amber did an amazing job with Parker, he came back super relaxed and sleepy. She was a huge help when we were down on our luck and had just a few days to book a boarding. Her home is super safe for all kinds of puppies, and her children were great with Parker. I definitely recommend booking, and will book again!”
“Lisa was incredible! This was my first time leaving my dogs with a “stranger”, and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Lisa updated me with pictures often, and even sent my babies home with a photo album of pictures!! My girls loved her, and we will be using her in the future!! ❤️”
“I love that every time we leave tank with them I never have to worry about him! They take care of him and love him like he’s their own!! Great communication!”
About: I grew up around dogs and understand the love, attention, and exercise they need to be happy and healthy. I have a passion for the outdoors and enjoy everything from casual neighborhood walks to longer adventures. When caring for your dog, I’ll treat them like one of my own—providing plenty of attention, exercise, and care while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I work Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which allows me to provide dog walking services in the evenings and on weekends. Most weekends I am available, especially with a little advance notice to plan ahead. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that fits both their needs and mine. Growing up with dogs and having a love for the outdoors, I enjoy spending time walking and caring for pets, ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Having grown up with dogs and spent years caring for them, I understand their body language and can recognize when they’re tired, stressed, overwhelmed, or simply need a break. I will treat your dog as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and attention to their individual needs—so you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring and capable hands.
“My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler. She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”
“We were desperate last minute for someone to watch our dog on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We reached out to Lydianis and her husband Alex on Rover. They were very quick to respond and continued with good communication throughout the entire time they had my dog. They took the time, at a very busy time of year, to meet us on the Sunday before at a local park and introduced their beautiful Lab Chase to us. Seeing how well they handled Chase and how understanding they were of Clementine’s intimidation, really eased our minds of my small dog being around a bigger dog and it showed how compassionate these two fun dog loving people are towards their guest dogs and owners. Prior to Clem's stay, they asked all the right questions about how to care for her and what they could do to help with any anxiety, when to feed her how much, etc., We felt very comfortable with them and liked both of them very much! We will definitely be calling again to have them watch our little fur baby!”
“Tristan and his family did a great job caring for our dogs while we were away. He sent updates with pictures each day, which was nice to see while we were away. They seemed to have a really great time and we would love to have them stay with Tristan for future trips.”
“Jennifer always goes above and beyond. My puppy is extremely picky with his food and often needs something different to encourage him to eat. This time, she even fed him by hand—and it worked.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone. Cassandra made the process super easy. She sent many videos and pictures of my girl. I will use her again in the future.”
