“This was my second time using Stephanie and Rover, in less than a week, and once again I couldn’t be happier! Stephanie was so kind and understanding whenever I had questions or felt a little unsure, and she kept me updated whenever I asked.

“We can’t thank Allina enough for taking such amazing care of our dogs, especially on such short notice. We were in a stressful situation trying to find someone last minute, and she stepped in without hesitation. She was so patient, understanding, and treated our dogs with care. Knowing they were safe, loved, and well cared for gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We are beyond grateful for her kindness and compassion.

Thank you so so much Olivia!”

“We had a great meet in greet in advance of Koda's 1st Day Care booking. Abbie & Patrick are very kind and responsible people with a great fenced yard, 2 sweet poodles, a designated indoor space for dogs, and a nice home. During Koda's 1st Day Care stay, Abbie & Patrick were great! Easy drop off and pick up, they sent lots of pictures and updates, Koda had both inside and outside time, and even a short walk. Our pup Koda is well trained for his age, but he is only 1 year old, so he is still learning and easily distracted. Abbie, Patric, and their 2 poodles were very patient with Koda during his stay and we hope we can continue to work with them.”

“Lindsey was great with Lili, very communicative, prompt, reliable and knowledgeable of the breed (French Bulldog). Will definitely be using her again in the future! :)”
“Andrew has been amazing! He’s so personable and reliable, and I have zero worries when he’s walking my dog. I’m definitely a very anxious dog mom, especially since my dog is 75 pounds and can pull hard on the leash, but Andrew is incredibly patient and handles him with no problem at all. Even when my dog decides to be a little stubborn and a jerk, Andrew is always calm, kind, and attentive. He truly puts me at ease and makes sure my dog is well taken care of. He’s also very flexible and accommodating, which I really appreciate. I’m so grateful to have found him!”
“Elizabeth was so fantastic with our nervous doggo: she gave through updates with great pictures. Our dog obviously warmed right up to her! Reliable ❤️ We’d for sure book her again!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet. I treat each animal like a member of my own family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'm experienced with puppies and can reinforce basic training, potty schedules, crate training, and positive behaviors through consistency and patience. I'm also comfortable caring for senior pets, including administering oral medications, accommodating mobility challenges, and providing the extra attention and gentle care they need. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or has special requirements, I'm committed to providing dependable, loving care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I am currently a college student so I can provide pet care before and after classes. I am also free every Friday, Saturday and Sunday! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow their regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether in your home or mine, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, and updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Due to medical reasons, I'm unable to walk my highly energetic two-year-old Husky mix. Valerie has been coming three times a week to walk Artemis, and she's amazing! Artemis warmed up to her quickly and really looks forward to her visits now. She's always super excited to leave and worn out by the time they get back (at least as much as a Husky can be!). Valerie is always on time and highly communicative, so I never worry when Artemis is with her. I would recommend Valerie ten times over!”
“Her services were amazing and caring. Kept us communicated timely. We would love to use her service in the future and highly recommend as well. My dog, Yaga, loves Victoria!”
“Selena has been such a blessing! Her and her family have been so supportive and flexible with Atlas’ change in his schedule. I beyong grateful and can’t thank them enough! Highly recommend and will continue to book.”

Pet care is my full-time job, which means your pets will have my complete, undivided attention throughout the day. I have total flexibility with my schedule to accommodate custom feeding routines, high-energy play sessions, frequent potty breaks, and comforting companionship whenever they need it. I provide a safe, secure, and welcoming environment tailored completely to your pet's needs. Whether hanging out at my place or checking in at yours, I am vigilant about pet-proofing, keeping routines consistent, and handling any special care instructions with total responsibility so you can travel with complete peace of mind.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m passionate about providing dependable, loving care and treating every pet like the family member they are. From playful puppies and energetic adults to sweet seniors, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. While I’ve primarily owned larger breeds, I also have experience caring for small breeds. My goal is simple: to give your pets the comfort, attention, and love they deserve while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I am a stay at home mom with a house full of animals too. I have a 1 year old Great Pyrenees Poodle mix and a 14 year old Shepard mix. I also have a ball python and leopard gecko as a part of our family pack! Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m available weekdays from 8:30 AM–2:30 PM, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care, walks, playtime, and companionship. I do have some evening availability with advance notice. I love incorporating animals into my day and making sure each pet receives the individual attention, care, and affection they deserve while their family is away. 🐾 I treat your home with the same care and respect I give your pets. I’m happy to tailor care to your pet’s individual needs, whether that means neighborhood walks, playtime, potty breaks in the yard, or simply providing companionship and attention. I’m flexible and happy to follow your routines and instructions so your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I can also offer basic brushing and light grooming as an add-on when needed. 🐾
“Duncan has been taking great care of our active doggo on his weekly walks with her! He shares great photos and videos and even noticed that she gets thirsty on walks so he brought a collapsible bowl to give her some water :)”
“So great to have Kristina look after our pets again. She went above and beyond. Super trustworthy and even took care of a busted fire alarm while we were away to make sure our animals were happy and comfortable.”

About: Other than growing up with my own dogs at home, I’ve volunteered and worked at animal shelters as a kennel technician- I have a lot of patience for dogs of all types and temperaments. My childhood dog was very timid, so I’m extra sympathetic to dogs who need a bit more personal space. I’m a college student doing a lot of online classes. The only times I’m needed on campus are Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9 am-12:30 pm, so my spare time can be happily dedicated to your dog. I will act in close accordance with any specific instructions given. If your dog is shy, I will respect their space- if they are high-energy, I am very capable of matching that too! I also have no qualms for cleaning up messes. Any concerns will be communicated asap.
“Tiffany is an excellent dog walker! Both my Rhodesian ridgeback and dachshund get so excited to see her for their walks! I would absolutely recommend Tiffany as a dog walker. She is kind, timely, and my dogs love her!”

About: I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve been around animals since I was 5 years old, growing up caring for ranch animals, dogs, cats, and even ferrets. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I live a very active lifestyle. I’m an avid runner and extremely into fitness, so staying consistent, disciplined, and energetic is already a huge part of who I am. Taking care of animals naturally goes hand in hand with that lifestyle because I genuinely enjoy being outdoors, going on walks, staying active, and keeping pets engaged and happy. I take animal safety and comfort very seriously both inside and outside of my home. I have a fully fenced patio area that provides pets with a secure outdoor space for fresh air, playtime, and exercise while staying safe at all times. I also have two dogs of my own who are very friendly, socialized, and used to being around other animals. However, I understand that every pet has different comfort levels and needs, so my dogs can always be safely crated or separated if necessary to ensure visiting pets feel comfortable and stress-free.
