Highly-rated overnight sitters - Keystone
“Dropped my large dog and cat off with Jessica. They loved her and her family. I got daily updates and photos of my pets and was very satisfied with care and communication. Will definitely book in the future.”
“We needed a place for Louie to stay for a few days while we were out of town and they went above and beyond for our guy! Banana was a great buddy and Caroline and Alena helped Louie feel right at home!! Loved all the photo and video updates, would highly recommend their family!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we had the absolute best experience! Ali was wonderful, our pups were so happy. They ran and played and swam and had the best vacation. She loved on them like they were her own and sent photos and videos throughout the day. Ali was also super accommodating with drop off and pick up times, she very responsive and friendly. I would absolutely recommend Ali and we will definitely be using her again.”
“Brooke is hands-down the greatest dog sitter we have found in the area. She has always been great to work with, provides regular updates, is very communicative, flexible, and our pups absolutely love spending time with her.”
“Melissa was amazing, and I'm thrilled we found her to watch our dog. She was incredibly easy to work with, she was a great communicator, and mostly importantly she took fantastic care of our dog. I will not hesitate to connect with her again next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommended!”
“Jenae took great care of my 11-month old goldendoodle for four days. She kept me updated with texts and photos and always replied quickly to my messages. I’d absolutely use her services again!”
“Five stars! Jaiden was absolutely lovely helping me understand the Rover process. My cat came back relaxed and happy! She was an absolute lifesaver in this heat. Would 100000% book again and highly recommend.”
“I recently left my 2 yo dog, Wilson, in the care of Hector and his sister for 10 days while I was traveling abroad, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Hector provided good care, love and attention. I received regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was overseas. It's clear that Hector and his family are true dog lovers, and I highly recommend his service to anyone in need of a reliable and caring host. 5 stars ⭐️!”
“Linda took such great care of Niner while we were out of town! We felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Her communication was excellent, and we loved getting all the picture updates. We would absolutely trust her to watch Niner again!”
“We were so thankful to find Talon near our campground for the Bike Rally. It made riding motorcycles for a couple long days much nicer knowing they were being card for and not stuck in the RV. Would have liked more videos of play time and pics, as this was my very first time away from my puppy for more than 12hrs, but I should have expressed that earlier.”
“Snyder loves going to Brittany’s. For me, I am just so grateful for her and the service she provides for us! It is always hard to leave my furball, but it is such a comfort knowing he is in a place with such care and love! Love the pics and the way Brittany communicates!!”
“Gianna was wonderful! She took great care of our two Golden Retrievers, giving them plenty of long walks, care and attention, including administering meds to each (which can be a struggle sometimes). And she provided us with daily photo and video updates on all their adventures. I don’t think I’ve seen our dogs as happy with any other sitter! We’ll definitely rebook next time we’re in Rapid!”
“As a repeat client, I highly recommend Susan. I'm totally at ease leaving Chili in Susan's care. Chili was excited when we arrived at Susan's house. Off Chili went for a walk with Susan. It was great to see Chili in the photos and video Susan sent me during the stay. I'll definitely book another stay for Chili.”
About: My daughter Trenna and I grew up with dogs and cats and we love all their different personalities and they bring so much joy to our lives. When you get a dog it’s a commitment. They are our kids. I am looking for a partime job. What a fun opportunity to do something I love. I have three dogs/kids myself. I can’t wait to get home from work and. see their wiggly tails. They don’t care what kind of day you just had, they just want to love on you. When I am home they are wherever I am. During the day they are in their kennels. Two of them are not even 2 yet so they like their toys.
“We loved having Margaret stay at our home and watch our Westie. She is exceptionally professional, punctual, friendly, caring and an all-around awesome person. We greatly appreciated her clear communication. Margaret texted us regular updates and photos. She took great care of our pup, following all of our intricate care instructions. She also kept the house in perfect shape. A++ experience”
About: I have grown up with dogs, owned (and currently own) a dog, and absolutely LOVE them as my own. We have an enclosed dog run with a dog door onsite. They are spoiled beyond measure and treated better than a family member. I have a flexible work schedule which allows me to spend quality time with your pet! I am available on weekends and holidays, as well as weekdays depending on notice. I have a fenced in dog run with a dog door. I can easily crate your dog if that is helpful to his/her routine. I do have 2 dogs onsite but can keep them separate if needed. We live on 3 acres and walk our dogs every day! They are Family!
About: My family has had a dog since I was in high school and I have been around dogs ever since. I am here to help.

Cat caregivers near you - Keystone
“Arianne was great with our boy Carbon. It was his first time spending a night without me or my husband present since we got him 3+ years ago, and she made sure that it wasn't a bad experience for him. We definitely went overboard when it came to providing information about him, but Arianne was able to handle it all without issue. 6/5.”
“Monet is amazing and my favorite cat sitter. She is very understanding, trustworthy, and dependable. I will always request her to sit for my cats. My mom also met her the first time she came to my house and adores her. Highly recommend Monet for all your pet sitting needs!!”
“Ronda always takes such great care of our kitty. Always appreciate her flexibility and Nola clearly loves the attention! Highly recommend Ronda for excellent cat sitting!”
“Nathan was very nice and always provided photo updates of our bunny, Mr. Pickles. I could tell that he played with him and he always wrote little status updates after the visit to tell me about the visit. He seemed excited to gain trust with our bunny and ended up being able to give him some love (bunny is very nervous around new people)”
“Kairi is awesome. I needed someone very last minute and she responded immediately and was able to help me out. She takes the time to play with the dogs and really pays attention to them.”
“Amanda was very communicative throughout the entire process and did an incredible job checking in on my cat. Would 100% recommend Amanda and will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Kim did drop-in visits at my home. My two older kitties are both rescues from a shelter and both are very shy. Kim was able to win them over in a short time. I knew they would eat the food she'd put out but I was glad to hear they let her pet them. I'd definitely recommend Kim for any type of petsitting!”
“Five stars! Jaiden was absolutely lovely helping me understand the Rover process. My cat came back relaxed and happy! She was an absolute lifesaver in this heat. Would 100000% book again and highly recommend.”
About: While I’m newer to caring for cats, I’m excited to provide them with the same love, patience, and attentive care that I give every animal. I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to check in multiple times throughout the day, giving your cat plenty of attention, fresh food and water, litter box care, playtime (if they enjoy it!), and companionship. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member behind. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your cat is in loving hands.
“We have never done a drop-in before, so we were a bit nervous about how our dog would do with someone coming into her space. But Margaret was amazing and so patient with her! She came by for a meet-and-greet to get to know her ahead of time, which was perfect. We would 100% have Margaret watch June again!”
“Shey was absolutely incredible for our drop in visits! It was my first time leaving my cats alone and she made the experience incredible and eased my anxiety. She was very responsive, understandable, provided lots of updates and just overall felt like she loved and took care of my animals how I would! 100% would recommend!”

“We had our meet and greet for Gabbie to meet the kitties. Gabbie had the unexpected happen and had to reschedule but was professional through the whole thing. It was great meeting Gabbie! I gave her a lot of info and she took it all in! The kitties started to take to her too!”
“Fantastic! Nicole cared for our cat, fish, spider, and plants while we went out of town this summer. She did a fantastic job with everyone! She sent pictures and kept us up to date on the household. We will definitely use her whenever we travel! Thank you Nicole”
About: I currently work at Safe Haven Pet Resort, which means I work with animals almost everyday and I have for 3 years now! I have learned now how to do some training and to be able to read a dogs body language. Being that I do work at Safe Haven, pet care has become a huge part of my life! Working with animals is what I love to do and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have 2 pups of my own so when I am watching your pets they can also have play buddies! My dogs are very friendly and love to make new friends!
About: I’ve been around animals all my life. Specifically I have the most experience with taking care of dogs, cats, birds, and guinea pigs.

Short-notice and planned times both are great. I’m familiar with lots of environments for pets wether that be in a cage (birds, reptiles, critters, etc.), outdoors, and indoors.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Keystone
“Franklin had such a great time with Susan!! We were traveling through the area and needed some dog care while we went to an event. We were very confident with Susan watching our best bud. She communicated with us the entire time and was even willing to take him a half hour before scheduled when our plans changed at the last minute. We would definitely contact Susan if we were ever in the area again! Recommend 10 out of 10!”
“Gio had a great time with Caroline and her house today: following her around the yard while she planted, and getting loves and a nap in the house. I would definitely have him come again. And he got a cute bag, and a dapper tie.”
“Did amazing with our girl. She sent pictures throughout time and stayed in contact with us. Would definitely recommend Brittany to watch your fur babies. Will use her again when we come back to the area.”
“My dog liked Jessica right away. He is a nervous dog, but was not nervous around her and he was happy when we picked him up. Jessica was very helpful and didn't mind introducing my dog to her cats and seeing how he was with them. Great experience!”
“Athena was fantastic. She was easy going, a great communicator, and clearly loves dogs. She took Max to the park, played fetch with him, taught him tricks, and made sure he played with his toys. She was also very flexible and I would absolutely recommend.”
“Janae was great! Our puppy Pan loved to play with her puppy and even out older girl Lyra had fun. Lyra LOVED Janae's husband right from the start and she normally takes a while to warm up to strangers. Would use her again if we were in town.”

“I’ve known Linda for several years, and implicitly trusted her with my German Shepard. I was in a pickle, was kind of last minute preparation for me ( I usually have everything written down, food bags prepared and labeled…) to leave home and have her watch my dog. He needs medication with his diet or he can’t digest what he eats, which was no issue with her. She sends pics and videos, and great communication, to help the ease of being separated from my best buddy and travel partner. She ‘speaks’ dog, reads and knows their energy. The facility is a dog’s haven and resort! I am sure my dog will love going back for a ‘dogcation’!”
“Best Rover sitter we’ve had! Tara kept in touch the whole time and sent pictures so we didn’t have to miss our pooch so much. We could tell our pup had been well cared for and comfortable when we picked her up. Thank you Tara, you’re the best!”
About: 18 Acres of Fun! Besides working in the veterinary field as a certified veterinary assistant, I’ve had dogs and cats since I started walking back home in Puerto Rico. I was always rescuing all kinds of critters in the streets and finding them new homes. Big animals, small animals, shy animals, hyper animals, you name it! I've assisted anywhere from births to surgery, administered medications, vitals etc. Your furry friends are in good hands with me. I live on a ranch, so they’ll have plenty of space to run and play around while I also love taking them with me to explore the Black Hills trails. I’m currently dedicating my time to farm life while I wait for school to start in the fall, so I have all my time available to dedicate myself to your furry friends. I have a big farm of 18 acres with plenty of space to exercise your pups, also have enclosed areas available to offer them a safe and comfortable environment during their stay. But like I mentioned, I have all my time available so your furry friends will receive all my attention all day ❤️ It’s the perfect environment to keep them happy and stimulated while you’re gone. -Will do walks/hikes -Provide pictures/videos -Plenty of kisses & cuddles -Beeping color available if requested

“AJ watched our dog Lola for about 4 hours while our family enjoyed some attractions in the Southern Black Hills. AJ was responsive, accommodated all of our requests. Her property is well suited for dogs. AJ was home the entire time of Lola's stay, and it felt like Lola had a lot of attention during her stay. We'd definitely use AJ again for Doggy Day Care.”

“I will highly recommend Mindy to walk your dog. Mindy communicated with great detail and pictures which put us at ease. I will definitely use Mindy again when we are back in this area.”
About: I've had pet dogs since I was around 8 years old and have loved taking care of my dogs. I wish to be able to take care of your pets as if they were like my own pups. I am currently working part time and will be going to college in the school time so I will be able to play with your pups as often as I can if not more! I will be watching your pets and playing with them as if they were in my home with me and be able to give them lots of cuddles and playtime
“Wonderful to have a dog lover come in and walk my dogs when I’m away! She was always there when she said she would be and took them for good long walks! Will definitely use again!”
“Kim was excellent! Our girls immediately made friends with her. Certainly put us at ease by sending us pictures and info about their walks. This was our first time using Rover and we will certainly use Kim again when we are back in the area.”
About: I have extensive experience in animal care, having grown up rehabilitating, caring for, and training a wide range of animals, from small squirrels to large horses. With several years of experience as a veterinary technician, I am deeply passionate about animal welfare. Over the past several years, I have also provided pet sitting services, caring for both young and elderly animals, as well as those with special needs. I am highly comfortable and confident in administering medications as needed as well as adhering to any specific dietary guidelines. I am a stay at home mom to my 9 month old son, so I have lots of time in my schedule to keep a close eye on your pet and give them as much attention as possible while you’re away! I have a fenced back yard which is perfect for playtime or just to hang out and get some sun! My own dog loves to run around up and down the hill in our yard! I also have a large dog kennel in case that is at all needed.
About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, from 10-pound lap dogs to 100+ pound gentle giants. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and just about any furry friend in between! Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to check in on your pets multiple times throughout the day, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, exercise, and love. As a fellow dog mom, I know how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby behind. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away—so you can enjoy your time with complete peace of mind. I have a flexible work-from-home schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs throughout the day. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday potty break, evening snuggles, playtime, or simply checking in for some extra love and attention, I’m available to visit your pet several times a day. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Being away from their owner can be stressful for pets, which is why I bring the care to them in the comfort of their own home. I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible, providing familiar schedules, plenty of love, patience, and personalized attention to help them feel safe and at ease. I’d also be happy to schedule a meet-and-greet before your trip so your pet has the chance to get to know me, helping everyone feel more comfortable before the stay.
About: Hi there! I have many years of pet care experience, including puppy training from 8 weeks to one year old (all positive reinforcement), cat sitting and training, house plants, rodents, reptiles, and birds. I have dog and cat sit professionally for friends and clients for several years. As well as informal dog and cat training experience. Additionally, I was a volunteer at a raptor rehabilitation center for 3 years and have varied bird experience. I specialize in house sitting. When able I will travel distance from my home to yours for a fee to cover time and gas. I've had several extended over 2 week house sitting jobs which have included multiple creatures *cats dogs and plants!) to care for. I also have experience with horses, reptiles, and birds in case your fur babies are maybe less furry! My day job is wildland firefighting so I am infrequently available during the summer and often out of cell service. However, if I can make an impromptu sit work I will! I'm most available for last minute and short term pet or house sitting, just depends on work so please just ask to see if I'm available. However I'd love to take your pups for regular walks (or runs) if I can! Other than as needed services, like walking, I can care for your pets in your home where they are most comfortable. Either house-sitting if you are comfortable with that, or checking on them regularly and ensuring they are fed, walked, and loved in a way that fits their comfortability.
About: I’ve had a dog named jewels who is with my mom for 12 years, I raised her and trained as a young girl and wanted to be a veterinarian, I am now a senior in college for psychology. I work three days a week and am very flexible with my schedule. I can do nights and days as well as later nights and early mornings. I treat animals like there my own children, I have a huge heart and I hope to share this will other pets and animals in my community
“Matilyn did a great job walking our dogs! She also let me that our female dog was showing signs of a UTI. Took her to the Vet the next day and sure enough, our dog did have a UTI! We would definitely rebook Matilyn!”
“Nathan is phenomenal with Billy!! He not only takes him for walks but he helps him learn tricks and shows Billy all the attention he so craves. He is a puppy so patience is necessary and Nathan definitely has that. Nathan is great with communication as well, always letting me know how Billy is doing and if he sees that maybe something is off with Billy health wise. I definitely trust him to take great care of my pup. :)”
About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own who are very friendly and playful. I can work with high energy or calmer/older dogs always taking the time to get to know them during our visits. I work full time but enjoy staying busy on my days off. Requests can be made for days I work as long as it is far enough out. We do not have a fence but do have tie outs at our own home. Willing to take your pet to any park of your choosing of course. I also have an XL wire crate if they need that at any time during a stay, otherwise they are free to roam.
About: Services offered: Dog sitting, Cat sitting, other animal sitting, dog walking, dog behavior reinforcement, animal enrichment, basic grooming/sanitary shaving/mat removal, medication administration (oral, IV, IM, SQ), daily routine encouragement, and more! All services are tailored to your pets needs! What sets me apart is my combination of veterinary, shelter medicine, behavior, and hands-on pet care experience. As a current veterinary technician and former Medical Manager at a Humane Society, I bring a deeper understanding of animal health, behavior, stress, and emotional well-being than the average pet sitter. My care philosophy is rooted in positive reinforcement, patience, and trust-building. I believe pets thrive when they feel safe, understood, and respected. Whether caring for a playful puppy, an anxious rescue, a senior pet, or a cat who prefers quiet companionship, I tailor my approach to their individual needs and personality. Clear and concise communication with you as the owner, is utmost important when caring for your fur baby! I am experienced with medication administration, senior pet care, behavioral support, and maintaining routines that help pets feel secure while their families are away. My background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health and communicate any concerns promptly. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with compassion, attention to detail, and a commitment to providing a low-stress, enriching experience that supports both their physical and emotional well-being. We’ll start by discussing your pet’s unique needs, routine, and preferences, as well as your expectations for their care. From there, we’ll create a plan that works best for both you and your pet while fitting within my full-time work schedule. I pride myself on being flexible, reliable, and easy to work with. As a veterinary professional, I have the ability to adjust my schedule when needed, including stopping by during the day for potty breaks, medication administration, or check-ins. For overnight care, I can provide visits before and after work to ensure your pet maintains their routine and receives consistent, attentive care. My goal is to make the process as stress-free as possible, providing dependable care and clear communication so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I provide care for your pet(s) in the comfort of their own home because I believe familiar surroundings are essential to their emotional well-being. Remaining in their normal environment helps reduce stress, anxiety, and disruptions to their routine, allowing them to feel safe and secure while you're away. This is especially important for cats, as changes in environment can often lead to stress-related behaviors and, in some cases, illness. By keeping your pet in their home and maintaining their usual routine, I help create a calm, low-stress experience that supports both their physical and emotional health. Rather than requiring your pet to adjust to a new setting, I come to them. This allows your furry family member to receive personalized, compassionate care where they are most comfortable—right at home. My goal is to provide peace of mind for you and a positive, stress-free experience for your pet.
About: Experience. I am active and reliable! Looking to build client relationships and trust! New to Memphis, but not Tennessee. I am from Nashville, and just moved back to Tennessee after living in Laramie, Wyoming. I have a full time job and live a full life here. I hold a degree in Child and Family Studies with a minor in ASL from the University of Tennessee. I grew up with and around dogs all my life, specifically German Shepherds and Akita's. I do not know everything about dogs, but I want to know everything about your dog. Working with Rover is just a fun way to make new furry friends and get to know more people in Memphis. Being there for your pet while you're week got unexpectedly busy or you're away overnight provides relief for you and your furry family. Schedule. Currently working full time, but can be flexible for your pet. I can use my lunch break for walks and medications. I feel like this is something that is relative to each pets schedule and owners request. Safety and Trust. Your dog is family and will be treated as such. Unless I have specific directions or know that your pet is allowed to eat or do something not listed, it does not happen. We have fun while following the rules. Unless it is an EMERGENCY, your pet does not get in the car with me. I trust myself, I do not trust other drivers.
About: I’ve been around animals all my life. Specifically I have the most experience with taking care of dogs, cats, birds, and guinea pigs. Friends, family, and others have always relied on me to take good care of their fur babies :) I’m usually free 7 days a week at most times of the day. I’m very flexible according to your schedule!

About: I currently work at Safe Haven Pet Resort, which means I work with animals almost everyday and I have for 3 years now! I have learned now how to do some training and to be able to read a dogs body language. Being that I do work at Safe Haven, pet care has become a huge part of my life! Working with animals is what I love to do and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have 2 pups of my own so when I am watching your pets they can also have play buddies! My dogs are very friendly and love to make new friends!
About: I have house sat multiple times for the same families, which included care for both dogs and cats. One family had ill animals that needed special pills and diets, while the other had a puppy who needed walks to remain calm. I follow the instructions of the owners as best I can, and attempt to give the animals as much love and attention as I can offer. I was paid professionally to care for animals when I worked as a personal assistant for three years. I know that it can be hard work to care for animals, but I am willing to put forth the effort for them. I have had and cared for them all of my life, and I look forward to caring for yours! I work full time, but can be flexible with my lunch break. At the least, I could drop in three times a day or stay with them in the evenings. On weekends, if I am petsitting or dropping in, your pup or cat would be my highest priority and my schedule is much more flexible. Petsitting: When staying at a client's home, I keep the area tidy and try to spend more time with the pet than not. When I am not at work, I would be able to walk, play, and cuddle to their heart's content. If I have social plans, I adjust them to the pets needs so they are not left alone for too long. Dogwalking & Drop-Ins: After walking/playing with/checking on your pup, I would ensure they have adequate water and a treat, then give them some time to rest. Once I've ensured they've cooled down, I would let them out once more before topping off their water and leaving them for a nap. During the work weeks, walks would be at noon and after 5pm, but weekends are flexible.
About: I have lived in households with pets my entire life as well as taken care of countless peoples animals while they have been busy or out of town. I go to the dog park just about every day and am well versed in how animals interact with each other and how to make them as comfortable as possible. I am back in the Black Hills until September when school starts up again for me! I am very free and would love to watch some pets of all kinds. I have my own dog and I can have them hang out or she can stay at home just as easily!! I care for all pets in my home and in others the same way, with love and respect. It’s incredibly important for the animals you are dealing with to trust you and I work to ensure that trust at all times.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. Family and friends love when I come by to give their dogs attention. I also take good care of animals like how I want to be treated. Pet care can fit into my schedule I am home mostly during the day and I work on my own time. You can count on me. I love to go for walks no matter how cold it is, and I love to play with dogs or cats. I would take good care of the animals.
About: I grew up with dogs and I currently have a black lab who lives with my husband. I’ve dog sat for friends and family throughout my life. I love to run, walk and be outside in nature. Dogs are definitely considered family to me! I am a travel nurse from South Dakota but currently live in Des Moines. I work night shift so during the day I’m around. My days are generally grouped together but letting pets out or walking are both doable! I can do overnights and watch for periods of time it will just depend on my schedule. I always want to respect the animal and let them come to me to meet and get to know me first. I love to play fetch or with whatever toys they like.

“We needed a place for Louie to stay for a few days while we were out of town and they went above and beyond for our guy! Banana was a great buddy and Caroline and Alena helped Louie feel right at home!! Loved all the photo and video updates, would highly recommend their family!!”
“Brooke is hands-down the greatest dog sitter we have found in the area. She has always been great to work with, provides regular updates, is very communicative, flexible, and our pups absolutely love spending time with her.”
“Melissa was amazing, and I'm thrilled we found her to watch our dog. She was incredibly easy to work with, she was a great communicator, and mostly importantly she took fantastic care of our dog. I will not hesitate to connect with her again next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommended!”
“Jenae took great care of my 11-month old goldendoodle for four days. She kept me updated with texts and photos and always replied quickly to my messages. I’d absolutely use her services again!”
“Five stars! Jaiden was absolutely lovely helping me understand the Rover process. My cat came back relaxed and happy! She was an absolute lifesaver in this heat. Would 100000% book again and highly recommend.”
“Linda took such great care of Niner while we were out of town! We felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Her communication was excellent, and we loved getting all the picture updates. We would absolutely trust her to watch Niner again!”
“We were so thankful to find Talon near our campground for the Bike Rally. It made riding motorcycles for a couple long days much nicer knowing they were being card for and not stuck in the RV. Would have liked more videos of play time and pics, as this was my very first time away from my puppy for more than 12hrs, but I should have expressed that earlier.”
“Gianna was wonderful! She took great care of our two Golden Retrievers, giving them plenty of long walks, care and attention, including administering meds to each (which can be a struggle sometimes). And she provided us with daily photo and video updates on all their adventures. I don’t think I’ve seen our dogs as happy with any other sitter! We’ll definitely rebook next time we’re in Rapid!”
“As a repeat client, I highly recommend Susan. I'm totally at ease leaving Chili in Susan's care. Chili was excited when we arrived at Susan's house. Off Chili went for a walk with Susan. It was great to see Chili in the photos and video Susan sent me during the stay. I'll definitely book another stay for Chili.”
About: My daughter Trenna and I grew up with dogs and cats and we love all their different personalities and they bring so much joy to our lives. When you get a dog it’s a commitment. They are our kids. I am looking for a partime job. What a fun opportunity to do something I love. I have three dogs/kids myself. I can’t wait to get home from work and. see their wiggly tails. They don’t care what kind of day you just had, they just want to love on you. When I am home they are wherever I am. During the day they are in their kennels. Two of them are not even 2 yet so they like their toys.
“We loved having Margaret stay at our home and watch our Westie. She is exceptionally professional, punctual, friendly, caring and an all-around awesome person. We greatly appreciated her clear communication. Margaret texted us regular updates and photos. She took great care of our pup, following all of our intricate care instructions. She also kept the house in perfect shape. A++ experience”
About: I have grown up with dogs, owned (and currently own) a dog, and absolutely LOVE them as my own. We have an enclosed dog run with a dog door onsite. They are spoiled beyond measure and treated better than a family member. I have a flexible work schedule which allows me to spend quality time with your pet! I am available on weekends and holidays, as well as weekdays depending on notice. I have a fenced in dog run with a dog door. I can easily crate your dog if that is helpful to his/her routine. I do have 2 dogs onsite but can keep them separate if needed. We live on 3 acres and walk our dogs every day! They are Family!
