“I haven't needed to find a place for our small, older dog to stay when we have been away on extended travel. All my concerns were replaced with gratitude and peace of mind after meeting Liz. Everyone was able to enjoy the trip without worries. We sincerely appreciate the loving care Liz provided to our dear little dog.”

It really gave me peace of mind during my trip knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.”

Thank you, Alex—we'll definitely be booking with you again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 8 years I have my own dog who just turned 2. The very first dog I ever adopted was kind of “scary” looking and played aggressively she was very sassy and didn’t enjoy the company of other dogs or people (she sadly passed away 2 years ago). While my current puppers is hyper active but has extreme anxiety and loves being around people and other pets. I also often petsit my best friends doggo who is a senior and disabled, he can’t use his back two legs and has a lot of medical issues. I know and understand how to work with dogs of all personalities :) I’m working on getting my GED right now so I have a lot of free time lately. I can work on my classes any time during the day so my schedule is pretty open. I can kennel your dog if needed, take them on walks, feed them, play with them, even cuddle with them!! Our fur babies get lonely too!
About: I have dog sat, house sat and worked at a doggy daycare for all types of dogs! My parents have three big dogs as well. I am currently a full time student but I will try and be available every afternoon/night. I am also available some mornings and every weekend. I can easily food, water, walk and crate dogs. My Parents have three dogs over 50 lbs. I can also happily cuddle with the fur babies.
About: I'm a pet lover by nature. I've been a pet "mom" to dogs and cats since I've been young. My pets are my family and tend to be a bit spoiled. I also care for others like they are my own. I'm a nurse and work 3 days a week which allows me plenty of time to care for your furry friend. I am able to provide care on short notice and am flexible with the needs of clients. I currently have a cat that I love more than anything. I am open to care for dogs in my home and care for your furry friend in your home to keep your pet in a routine that they are used to.
“Holly did an amazing job watching my cat! She left detailed care updates for each drop in and took lots of cute pictures. Hashbrown was happy and healthy when we returned. Holly was very communicative leading up to the visit, asked great questions, and was always on time. 10/10 would book with Holly again!”
“Tara was so kind and attentive to my kitties. She did everything I asked for and more. I have one cat who is extremely shy, but Tara managed to capture a picture of her, so I was happy to see her while I was away. Tara updated me with pictures the whole time which made me feel that my kitties were in good hands. Thank you!”
“Jennifer was absolutely FANTASTIC. My little Dimitri is afraid of everything and everyone. He never comes out of his carrier when we take him places. But when he was with Jennifer he actually came out of his carrier and went exploring. He wasn’t completely frazzled when I came and picked him up. Her animals were sweet and gentle. Jennifer herself was very kind. I am pleased at how nice she was and how comfortable my cute little Dimitri kitty was. I’m definitely looking forward to working with her again.”
“Alecia was incredibly caring, organized, and very attentive with my cats.🐱 Every day she kept me informed about how everything was at home and also sent me photos of them, which made me feel very calm and reassured during my time away. She not only took care of them and administered their medication, but also made sure their water bowls were always clean. She went above and beyond by taking extra time to clean the litter boxes, clean up vomit, sweep, and keep the mat tidy. These are the kinds of details that truly make a difference.✨️ She played with them, spoiled them, and cared for them with so much love and dedication. Alecia is very kind, respectful, and warm in her communication, which builds even more trust. 🌸 Without a doubt, I highly recommend her for taking care of your furry loved ones.🐾 It’s very comforting to know that someone like her exists someone who can care for your pets as if you were there yourself. It’s clear that she truly loves what she does, and her work is simply outstanding ✨️.”

“My dogs absolutely love Macy! She is wonderful to work with and has been incredibly attentive to my dog's anxiety. What sets her apart is how she reads their mood and the weather for the day and adjusts her approach each visit. I always come home to happy and calm dogs on the days she walks them.”
About: I have 2 rescue cats, 1 rescue dog, and a one-eyed puggle. I am currently dog sitting for a small dog until July, the three of us walk daily. I owned a lab who had epilepsy, administered his meds daily. I have provided care for friends and families animals, including dogs, cats, and other outside animals. I currently work away from home every Wednesday. I also have a parttime job where I work from home, with flexible hours. I would be available for services with flexible hours. I have a fenced yard, my dogs get along well with other dogs, and they are friendly with my cats. My rescue dog is skittish around people, but she has not had issues with other dogs or cats. I have given meds to my animals. I have crated my dogs, currently only crate the small dog I am dog sitting for when I leave.
“Accepted me as a new client and walked my two dogs for one hour all in the same day. It was a last minute request. She made the process easy. She sent pictures of the dogs and a map view of the walk they went on. Showed up right on time. Will use again.”

About: I was very active on Rover, but then I became very busy with our children’s activities. I am now looking forward to being very available as school comes to a close and summer needs arrive for pet owners. We have two dogs at home, a ten year old mixed beagle breed, Lilly, and a two year old, beagle, Myles. The older one is very calm and easy going. Myles is very feisty and keeps us on our toes. Our daughter showed Lilly in our county fair and she won 1st in her class and reserve champion overall. I look forward to sharing my love of animals with others, whether it is cuddles or quick game of ball during our visit. I work full time, so I would be more available evenings and weekends. I am comfortable doing boarding in other’s homes and drop in visits. I feel welcome visits are important prior, so the animals are able to get to know me and will not be as anxious for the actual visit. I want to hear from clients what their dog’s routine is. I want to keep as much normalcy as I can. I plan to ask very specific questions, so care is as close to the same as when they are being cared for by their owners.
