My grandparents owned a medium sized dog breeding company so I would spend my time feeding, bathing, walking, nurturing, and playing with dogs and pups. I did this for many years.

I take good care of any animal wether it be a dog, cat, ferret, snake, etc. and always check in with the owners if anything were to happen. I'm also very patient and caring for all animals alike.

“My family and I were out of town for my daughter’s competition and we had to bring our 7 month old puppy, Boomer, a mini Golden Doodle. He doesn’t travel much so he was Not okay with being in the hotel alone for any length of time. We didn’t know what to do and decided to download the Rover app and reached out to Betty who responded so quickly and agreed to watch my baby last minute. She rearranged her schedule to help us out. Boomer is usually nervous and scared of strangers but he warmed up to Betty pretty quickly which gave me so much peace of mind.

About: I have loved caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience caring for not only dogs and cats, but also sheep and horses. I’ve been responsible for animals since I was young and have developed a strong passion for providing them with loving, attentive care.

In my own home or a client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. I make sure they are fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime based on their energy level and personality. I also keep their space clean by picking up after them, cleaning litter boxes or accidents right away, and making sure their environment stays safe and calm.

About: The obvious reason, I LOVE DOGS and being around ALL animals . every dog has a unique personality which makes all of them special and all dogs have something different to offer pet lovers. I also love to be outdoors playing and walking them. I walk a lot any way, might as well have a furry companion. I can pretty much set my own schedule (within reason). I also don't have any obligations, other than my husband. I feel like this would feel a void in my life and help give to purpose. I like to use hand commands but verbal is fine also I have been a pet owner for quite sometimes, no current pets, some very high energy, some old and arthritic and on medication I perfer smaller dogs if they come to my house.

Of course, if it’s something on the bigger side, ie, like livestock, I would be at the client’s home.

I can easily create dogs, I know proper dog walking safety, I am very good at staying consistent with feeding schedules if needed and most of all I can take good care of a dog by making sure they get plenty of exercise and interactions!
“Buster and I love Lezlie! It's been such a great piece of mind to know that he's getting some exercise and a potty break when I am stuck at work all day. She always gives good updates after their walks, and it brightens my day! Thanks Lezlie!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life of all sizes. Very patient and friendly with all fur babies. In our home they are apart of my family. I am currently a stay at home wife so my schedule is very flexible and I am very happy to make appointments to make sure they get the attention your fur babies deserve! I have experience with dogs beings off leashes trained as well as the ones that constantly need leashes so they don’t get into trouble. Playing in the yard or just butt scratches are a staple!

I highly recommend her!”

“Mille was a fabulous sitter for my anxious pup Darcy! She was easy to communicate with and was attentive to my pup’s needs and quirks. She sent me pictures of Darcy almost immediately and then about every 2-3 hours, which made me feel so reassured. Darcy was happy and content at pick up. I’m confident she was in the best hands!”
About: I began pet sitting in high school, visiting clients’ homes to feed their dogs and give them playtime while owners were away. Over time, this grew into a passion for understanding canine behavior. My interest in psychology, especially behavioral and humanistic approaches, along with my love for dogs, led me to earn my certification as a professional trainer. Whether I’m doing drop-ins, walks, boarding, or housesitting, I ensure every dog is enriched and cared for. I welcome all breeds and temperaments as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible for all types of dog care—except boarding and daycare. I use positive reinforcement to help keep your pup both physically and mentally stimulated. I'm versatile and reliable, and I’m fluent in both English and Spanish to ensure smooth communication with all pet parents. I offer companionship and affection to pets in the absence of their owners, maintaining their routine and minimizing stress. In addition I maintain contact with the owners to update them on their pet's activities and wellbeing.
“Julie was so helpful when needing a last minute boarding for my dog! She was so responsive and very good with him. I would recommend Julie to anyone needing to board their pup!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded not just by animals. Because of that, I’m comfortable with all personalities, temperaments, and care needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own—with patience, attention, and genuine love. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work outside the home, but I work close by where coming home at lunchtime to check on or check on furry friend it’s not a problem. I have a fenced in yard and I am very careful to keep the doors closed. I am responsible and aware of things going on around me.
