“Our Stella always comes home from Liz’s farm happy and tired from all the fun and is so excited to see her when she goes back for another stay. We are so happy to know our Aussie is well-loved at the farm every time :)”
“Sydney was wonderful with both my mini schnauzers. She took care of their every need and gave them lots of love. We have rebooked with her for several more dates and will continue to book with her for boarding in her home.”
“David and Linda were very communicative and cooperative by providing lots of updates and pictures of Chico. They took great care of my pup, spent a lot of time with him and made sure he was comfortable and happy. I highly recommend their services and will definitely go with them again in the future”
“Nancye is absolutely amazing! She loved and spoiled our Josey as if he was her own. I loved that we had the opportunity to have a meet and greet before we took our trip. She took him on walks. He loves car rides and she took him to get ice cream with her getting him a pup cup. It was our 1st time leaving him with someone new and she sent us pictures and updated all along the way. Nancye has such a love for fur babies and it shows. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Rowdy was very well taken care of by Ms. Holly. She sent many pictures upon request, as well as fast responses. I believe he had a great time in her care and seemed to be in a good mood during pick up. Overall I highly recommend Holly as a great dog sitter and will come back again if I ever need!”
“Been our second time using Carmen. Our dogs always had a great time and really nice that she has a fenced in back yard. Carmen also provided crates so we didn’t have to bring ours. Quick to responses and well priced. Would use again and do recommend!”
“Veronica is great as always! Treats pets like family and her dogs do too :) We appreciate them every time and think our pup Sam is happy to see us but sad to leave his vacation home!”
“We had to book with Kayla pretty much as last minute as you could get. Our original Rover didn’t work out and we needed to find somewhere quick. Kayla was super communicative and easy going! Her other dogs are all so sweet and well trained. It was a great socialization experience for our dog. She sent us so many videos and pictures throughout the booking. We loved Kayla and would recommend her 1000x over”
“My fiancé and I went on a 5 day vacation out of town and our pup seemed to have such a great time with Richard & Kelly. I got updates, pictures and quick responses! He was very professional and has great reasonable prices. You can tell he is very experienced and I would send my pup to him any time I need to. 5/5 stars and 100% recommended.”
“Jenny was excellent. Took care of my two huskies while I traveled. She gave my updates just about everyday and that usually included a video/pic. The girls loved running around her fenced in yard and seeing her goats, chickens, and duck from the other side. They also enjoyed playing with her pups as well. Would definitely have my babies stay there again while I travel.”
About: I’ve always been the person who stops to say hi to every dog I pass and always at the cat section at the pet stores. I’ve cared for my own pets for years and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet wants to play all day or just curl up next to someone, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos because I know I’d want the same for my own pets. Pet care fits easily into my routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and whatever else your pet needs throughout the day. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll do my best to stick to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress free I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own and always put their safety and comfort first. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide, keep a close eye on your pet, and make sure they feel secure and cared for at all times. I’m also a big believer in communication, so you’ll receive updates and photos throughout their stay so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“I would definitely recommend Claire for petsitting. She friendly and accommodating, and our dog seemed very well cared for. Our only problem was finding the house because the address sent to us through Rover was not correct, but hopefully that has been fixed.”
“Courtney & Kam were amazing! We had a super informative meet and greet in the beginning. They had my boy over Christmas and I got pictures every day. I could tell how happy he was there. When I picked him up, he was super happy to see me, but I could also tell he was kind of sad to leave them. They went on many hiking adventures and he came back just as clean. Courtney & Kam were super flexible with the time, especially when I had to extend my trip a couple days early. Overall, I would recommend them. I could tell they loved my pup with all their heart!! They were super professional and very kind. I also saw how well kept and nice their home was.”
“Kurt was great with our dog Lucy while we were on vacation. I didn’t worry about her at all. He was quick to respond and sent pics throughout the week. I highly recommend!”
“Natalie took care of my sweet pittbull for 26 days while I traveled outside the country! At first I was nervous because the pictures had not been updated and honestly the appearance is slightly jarring at first. However if you can look past that, Natalie is a passionate dog owner, her own dogs are healthy, happy and well trained. My pittbull has tons of allergies and requires supplements, oral drops, baths, and topical foam. Natalie was willing to take that on, and provide a routine for my dog so that she could play, socialize, and be well cared for. Natalie gives daily pictures so you can visualize your dog is safe and sound! Don’t judge a book by its cover!! I am so glad my dog found her rhythm and enjoyed her time with Natalie. Highly recommend her! My dog came back looking shinny and happy! Will book her again!!”
About: I've watched dogs and cats with all different personalities and needs (i.e. blind, diabetic, anxious, etc.). I believe in understanding a pet's needs from the perspective of the pet and responding with compassion. I work full time, but can usually work from home if needed. I will talk with you before we commit to pet sitting to ensure my schedule works for your needs (if that's getting off early, working from home every day during the time of the sitting, going home over lunch for a walk, etc). I have no fur babies (or kids) of my own, so your babies will get my undivided attention and I will shower them with all the love I wish I could give to my own fur baby if I had one. (Know I recognize that love looks different for different critters - for some it may mean keeping a respectful distance!)
“Amari was very accommodating for a last minute booking, kept me updated with lots of pictures and reassured me that my dog was doing great! Would definitely book with her again in the future.”
About: Some of my pet experience includes bathing dogs, taking care of dogs for friends, having my own dog who i care for, and loving all animals. I’ve trained my dog to for certain commands which i believe is very helpful. All my friends come to me when they need someone to take care of their fur babies! I am a college student with a work load, however no job. A lot of my days are spent in my home doing homework and pet care fits into my schedule because I can always be there to play and take you pets out. I don’t have very long classes either or in a big stretch so your pay would be cared for almost 24/7 I care for pets as if they were my children haha! In my home, I have bowls, treats, and toys for your pets. In your home, I would respect the space and take care of your pet as if it were my own.

About: I work part time and would love to help you with your sweet pets! I have been caring for animals - the typical dog and cat pets - as well as chickens, a pig, and even a donkey!

“Cynthia has a special way with my rescue dog! She kept me updated about my dog with every visit. She was willing to help with our dog’s care at the very last minute. I highly recommend Cynthia!”
“Ashley did amazing job! Stevie cat warmed right up to her. She kept Stevie well feed, litter box cleaned and vacuumed around the litter box! Thank you Ashley! Would definitely book her again.”
About: Growing up, I have done pet and house sitting in various cities and situations. I come from a family of animal lovers: my mom won't even kill a house insect, and her mom has been know to adopt cats, birds, and even the occasional squirrel! We have no dogs of our own at this point, but I love to watch other peoples' dogs to scratch that canine itch (preferrably behind the ears! 😄) I am a home body with two little ones that are yet to be in school. I will probably be home most of the time your pet is here. We have an unfenced yard with caged chickens, quails, and goats. As a family, we spend lots of time outside and on walks, so your pet will get plenty of time to excercise.
“We are so amazed by the care that Rita provided our boys when we were away. We knew from our initial meeting that she offers her services because she loves pets so much. We will definitely only hire her for our future needs and we recommend her without reservation!”
About: I have been pet sitting for many years. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, and even a chameleon. I really have a special affection for dogs. I connect with them and they with me. I have friends whose dogs freak out when they see me after not having seen me for a while. I take them on hikes, play with them, and do whatever is necessary to keep them in good health while in my care. I can see that all your dogs needs are met, including medications, special foods, treats, and a good night's sleep. I have a fenced-in backyard where your dog and mine can frolic while I keep an eye on them. I always supervise and dogs aren't left on their own.

About: I’ve had cats my whole life, all with different temperaments. I know that cats are each their own special being and sometimes their way of getting attention is to just hang out in the same room with you. I have been in school to train as a vet tech, due to finances I could not finish. However, I do know more about interacting with cats than the average person due to finances.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats of all sizes for years. I started working with all kinds of animals at 16 working at a family owned pet shop and have been pet sitting since! Whether it be walking, bathing, special care or meds, no animal is too much. I have a flexible schedule, only need a few days notice for sitting. Send me a message and I’m more than happy to work something out around your schedule! I provide lotssss of picture updates, plenty of playtime and enrichment, and can tailor my car to the needs of the pet if needed. Please reach out if you have any questions!
About: Leaving your pet behind can be a very hard thing to do. If you can’t take them with you, I want you to feel confident that they will be loved just as much in your absence, so when you return you have a happy pup and no guilt inside from not being able to take them with you! I have loved animals since I can remember. I love all types, but dogs are my specialty! I have dog sat all my life and will treat your baby as if it was my own child. We have a big yard and safe neighborhood to do lots of playtime and walks! I can do some basic puppy training (sit down, work on potty training) through positive reinforcement. I am great with active and high energy pups and dogs! We have a 13 year old yorkie who is partially blind. I am also very strong if larger dogs need assistance moving around or going to the bathroom. I can manage senior care if they need daily medications or ointments. I have mild grooming experience. I work mostly from home and have all the time to make sure your pet’s needs and wants are taken care of! Lots of short walks and long walks if needed and tons of playtime and snuggle time. I have two dogs, and our heeler especially loves a good playmate! We have two boys, 6 and 9 who are are respectful and have “dog manners” and love all the dogs. My husband is a huge animal lover as well. I never leave our own dogs longer than 4 hours. This will be your dog’s home away from home! Our dogs are our family and we are very careful to keep them leashed when outside, as we don’t have a fence, but love playing outside. I will make sure your dog feels safe and secure at all times with lots of love however they need it! We will follow any dietary restrictions, medical schedules or any special requests. We do request no aggressive dogs for the safety of our children and our own dogs. We have ways to separate with gates in our home if necessary at any point. We do have an indoor/outdoor cat but she is confined to one room at night and out during the day. I will send photos and videos as often as you want! I love capturing pups in action, snoozing or just being goofy!

“We used Corrie for doggie daycare while attending a Tech game. She was fabulous! Super friendly, sent lots of pictures, great property. We’d definitely use them again anytime!”
“Nancy’s was great! We were in town for graduation and needed a pet sitter for a few hours to attend the ceremony. Nancy’s was very attentive and excited to take care of Chai. She was in great hands and I highly recommend her to anybody who wants extra special treatment for their pup.”
“Holly is the BEST. Tuesdays are now Poncho's (and my) favorite day of the week. He has the time of his life running around the yard and playing with other pups, and is exhausted by the time I pick him up- which every puppy owner knows is the BEST feeling ever. Holly is so communicative, sends the cutest pics, and I always know Poncho is safe and spoiled with her. You need to book with her!”
About: I am a veterinarian who has dedicated her life to caring for animals. I have worked with animals from a young age, including many hours working in vet offices in high school leading up to college and vet school (became a licensed vet in 2020). I am quite comfortable with caring for animals who need medications administered, or more intense levels of care while their owners are away. Working with animals brings me joy and peace, and making sure they are happy and well cared for is my life mission. I believe in fear free handling, and I am happy to work with animals who do not trust unknown people. I am a licensed veterinarian but I am currently in grad school so I am very flexible. I can be home all day if needed, and can provide close supervision. I have a 3 year old female German Shepherd (very friendly!) and cats (mostly outdoor). I have the ability to keep my dog separate if needed but she loves playing with other dogs! I have a full sized truck and the ability to transport animals with me safely. I have 2.5 acres of fenced land for dogs to run and play as well as a small fenced in section adjacent to the house. A pet door offers come and go access to the house. I am free to drop in during the week or board animals for extended periods, and if your animal needs medications administered as part of their care I am very capable. I am comfortable handling large dogs (I have a lot of practice in my line of work as a veterinarian). I am also comfortable with young animals, cats, older animals, and any animal requiring high levels of care.
About: I'm diligent, conscientious, and careful when caring for dogs. I have a large fenced yard, and I'm home nearly all day, every day, so your pet will have plenty of attention, supervision, and space to play and feel safe.

About: Hi there! My name is Cecile and I live in Radford, Virginia with my husband, 2 teenagers and 2 cats. We have a house with a fenced yard in a peaceful area. I am a homemaker, natural healer and gardener, and I particularly enjoy having pets around me. I have worked as a pet-sitter for 5 years, including 1 year full-time. I am available only for boarding, as I can't leave my home overnight. Your pet will have all the freedom, care and attention that he needs, as we all love animals at home. We will keep your pet's habits as much as possible even in a new environment for him. Do not hesitate to contact me for more information! Sincerely, Cecile I am with your pet like I would be with a friend. I talk to them, listen to their needs and spend time with them. I will care for your pet as if it is mine. I don't have any pet myself. I will not unleash dogs unless you tell me it's ok. I will send you pictures regularly. I will not invite anyone at your home. I am home all day and can give your pet 100% of my attention. He can sleep with us at night if that's his habit. Your pet will have lots of attention, half an acre to run in and even walks if needed. We will respect his schedule and habits as much as possible.
“Jessie always does a great job taking care of our sweet, but shy fur baby! We appreciate the pictures and updates she regularly sends us. It makes our hearts happy knowing that our dog is getting wonderful care and lots of love when we’re away!”
“5 Stars for sure. I’ve never met Madison nor has my 11 week Labrador puppy but she showed such enthusiasm and care for my pup. Normally I try to be at home as much as possible but since today was such a busy day I needed someone close and with good reviews. She tracked the day very well and I could tell by how tired my puppy was that he had an awesome day of playing.”

“Overall, they are AMAZING dog sitters and do a great job! I was given tons of pictures of my Auggie having a great weekend and I was very nervous to leave him for the first time. They did a great job instilling good habits in my puppy while having him enjoy his weekend with completely new people. I’m extremely satisfied and will be using them again!!”
About: People like me because I LOVE pets so much. I have a 2-year-old chihuahua named Cheeto, and have had many size dogs over the years. I also have a cat named Marvel who is under a year. I grew up on a farm with a variety of animals from small to large, cats, dogs, horses, pigs, rabbits, and a peacock. My friends and family say that I have animal radar and know when one is near. I do well with a variety of temperaments, and warm up to the dog at their own comfort level. I send picture or video updates so the pet parents can keep in touch and not miss them. From past work with a pet brand and learned some good information about dog food and safety; and am a part of a petsitting group online where we share useful learning. I would have 10 dogs if I could, so this is the way to meet more! I look forward to meeting your best friends, and loving them like they are accustomed. I'm grateful to Rover for allowing me to make lifelong friends in addition to my petsitting business. It fits anytime! I do walks, pick-ups for vet or groomer, overnights, days or just multiple visits. I observe and communicate behaviors. Safety is key! Any service in your home, I usually shut doors that won’t be necessary to eliminate accidents during stays, play and walk and give them company or a game. I leave your home like I found it or better and communicate frequently for any direction from you or notification about your pet and home. Get the mail, water plants. At my home, I have a whole floor for them to hang out and look out a huge window to deer, birds, plants. We walk in the suburb, or take car rides if ok. Watch movies, naps. I make sure in any situation that safety and risk assessment is on point. If I don’t know I will ask. If it’s a medium breed or smaller dog in my home, I’ll walk them with my chihuahua, or if not, just walk separately.
“My dog Max appeared to have a wonderful time at Richard and Kelly’s. It’s awesome to have found a place close to work and home to take him for daycare :) 100% going again !!”

About: My home is where I tell people "they have me trained well". I love all animals and believe they deserve the best of treatment as they give to us so unconditionally. Any animal in our household is taken care of as they are our children. Our older dog was raised to be kind to smaller animals and seems to think anything smaller than him is his to take care of. We taught this by stroking gently and telling him to "be nice" this is just a "baby". Animals are never hit or disciplined by any harsh means, we reinforce good behavior. Our dogs get brushed every night around 7:00 and remind us if we miss the time and we treat them to a small snack every evening around 8:30 which they know also.
“Katie has been great with Indie, communicates very well, and is on time and flexible with our dynamic schedule needs so we are thankful to have found her and plan on making her our regular walker for the foreseeable future.”
About: I grew up on a farm around many different types of animals. I believe that your dogs life is short and giving them a good day matters. As a dog mom myself I believe everyone fur baby deserves to spend a few minutes outside everyday especially with their new favorite play date, me! I am a full time first responder thankfully with this schedule I have many days off to rest relax and take your fur baby on an adventure. You have a high energy dog? No worries! I’m a very active individual and wouldn’t mind taking your dog on a run! My dogs enjoy a large front yard they run around in. I believe outside play is important for a dogs mental health. Of course your dog will receive lots of loving and treats from me after a nice long walk outside.
“Thank you Ashley. Maisie was so much calmer after your long walk and plenty of attention. I love the pictures you took! Highly recommend for anyone in the area looking for trustworthy care.”

About: Ever since I was born I had an animal right by my side . I have learned to take care of animals and provide for them. I have taken care of friends, family and neighbors pets in the past. I also have worked at a dog daycare called tail chasers so I have experience with big dog groups. I’m good with cats as well . I’m experienced with walking multiple dogs at a time because I got 3 myself. I’m currently working 3:30 am to 12:00 pm so I will have plenty time to spend with your animals. I’m free on the weekends as well . Willing to come to your place to house sit and take care of your animals. I have done that in the past for people. Willing to also stop by and give water, food and walks with some play time on the side .
About: I've had a dog all my life except for the brief interlude (1965-1970) while I served in the Marine Corps. Since my kids have grown and left home my dogs are now my babies. I'm retired and have a lot of time on my hands. I'd like to have the option of caring for someones pet now and then to give me something to do. I love dogs and rarely met a dog that doesn't love me right back. My dogs are almost always with me. Excepting - going to the store in the summer when the temperature in the car would be too hot. I make sure my dogs are safe and comfortable.

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I have had chickens for about 7 years and 4 dogs for over 15 years. I also have some experience with other animals as well. I grew up with three German shepherds and a crazy hyper Jack Russell. We bred our two german shepherds and kept one puppy from the litter so I do have experience with puppies and the patience to take care of them. The two shepherds I grew up with passed away due to sicknesses so I also have experience taking care of sick dogs and giving them the extra special care they need! I have also taken care of friends pets numerous times. I have always had a love for caring for animals and getting to spend quality time with them. Growing up surrounded by all sorts of pets has given me the skills of patience and how to give the correct care and attention each specific pet needs. I’m currently in school for the medical field and have a pretty full schedule in the mornings during the week. But I have a clear schedule Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and am available in the afternoons during the week. I live in the countryside with many acres of open land so I have plenty of space your pets can roam around, play, and not have to worry about keeping them on a leash when they are being watched. If my client is not comfortable with letting them go without a leash I also have an extremely large fenced in area that small dogs to large dogs cannot get out of. I do have a Jack Russell who is old so I keep other animals away from her to make sure she is safe and not at risk of being hurt since she is older. I also have a German shepherd and she is all love and cuddles and enjoys play time with other dogs and would love another furry friend to play with!

I will always put ur pets safety a over everything else. If you have any additional concerns I am always willing to talk and create the best plan to keep ur best friend safe.
About: I have over 500 hours of dog watching and raising experience (outside of my own pets) and spent over 800 hours volunteering cat care for kittens and disabled kitties I am a grad student with a totally flexible schedule and can work from home easily if needed! I will be able to incorporate your pet into my routine seamlessly. I also have the ability to fully care for your pet at their own home. I am able to be there often if needed or can stop by for occasional visits based off your own needs.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats of all sizes for years. I started working with all kinds of animals at 16 working at a family owned pet shop and have been pet sitting since! Whether it be walking, bathing, special care or meds, no animal is too much. I have a flexible schedule, only need a few days notice for sitting. Send me a message and I’m more than happy to work something out around your schedule! I provide lotssss of picture updates, plenty of playtime and enrichment, and can tailor my car to the needs of the pet if needed. Please reach out if you have any questions!
About: Leaving your pet behind can be a very hard thing to do. If you can’t take them with you, I want you to feel confident that they will be loved just as much in your absence, so when you return you have a happy pup and no guilt inside from not being able to take them with you! I have loved animals since I can remember. I love all types, but dogs are my specialty! I have dog sat all my life and will treat your baby as if it was my own child. We have a big yard and safe neighborhood to do lots of playtime and walks! I can do some basic puppy training (sit down, work on potty training) through positive reinforcement. I am great with active and high energy pups and dogs! We have a 13 year old yorkie who is partially blind. I am also very strong if larger dogs need assistance moving around or going to the bathroom. I can manage senior care if they need daily medications or ointments. I have mild grooming experience. I work mostly from home and have all the time to make sure your pet’s needs and wants are taken care of! Lots of short walks and long walks if needed and tons of playtime and snuggle time. I have two dogs, and our heeler especially loves a good playmate! We have two boys, 6 and 9 who are are respectful and have “dog manners” and love all the dogs. My husband is a huge animal lover as well. I never leave our own dogs longer than 4 hours. This will be your dog’s home away from home! Our dogs are our family and we are very careful to keep them leashed when outside, as we don’t have a fence, but love playing outside. I will make sure your dog feels safe and secure at all times with lots of love however they need it! We will follow any dietary restrictions, medical schedules or any special requests. We do request no aggressive dogs for the safety of our children and our own dogs. We have ways to separate with gates in our home if necessary at any point. We do have an indoor/outdoor cat but she is confined to one room at night and out during the day. I will send photos and videos as often as you want! I love capturing pups in action, snoozing or just being goofy!
About: I have been dog sitting around my neighborhood since I was about 13. I have lots of experience not only dog sitting but house sitting as well. I also have experience with puppies and helping train/teach them. My biggest experience is working for a doggie daycare and working at a dog park (BarK for anyone familiar!) Along with this I also have had two cats and two dogs of my own who I love dearly. I am also CPR certified in dog CPR and have basic first-aid experience with animals! I am currently searching for a job so I have plenty of time to focus on you and your pets! I would love to spend as much time as your pets need to make sure they are comfortable and happy :) As of now I won’t be able to offer boarding/daycare at my place but at others houses I want to make sure both human and dog have the best experience possible. I will always check what is expected of the pets during our time together (allowed on furniture? Nice to others on walks? Etc) I make sure that the pets are getting the most out of our time together with lots of interaction and love :)
About: I have taken care of and trained a Doberman Pincher with leash issues. I took in a feral cat and cared for her for 16 years. I am currently taking care of a miniature poodle. I am comfortable with both small and large dogs and I know the power of a calm and assertive energy. I also have a lot of love for cats and understand the process of earning trust. My partner and I have just moved to Blacksburg and I am excited to meet new people. I have all day to care for your pets! My schedule is incredibly flexible. I am an inherently detail oriented and methodical person so following your instructions precisely is always my goal. My flexible schedule and free time will allow me to spend quality time with your pets and make sure they feel loved and cared for.
About: I've had many years of experience between keeping my own animals as well as house sitting or just dropping in to check on your pets! I also offer the same service for reptiles! Preferably would like to service closer to Wytheville but will travel in some cases, extra fees will apply depending on distance! Please check your location and the distance between us before you book! I currently have a full time job but I am looking to quit so I can focus on doing nails and going to school part time for that but I need a side hustle! I live in a school bus so I don't really have tons of room to take care of pets there but I am more than willing to come to their homes, I'd prefer that the pet is comfortable as possible and I cannot stay overnight in a home but I can stay as long as needed to make sure the care requirements are met

“Our Stella always comes home from Liz’s farm happy and tired from all the fun and is so excited to see her when she goes back for another stay. We are so happy to know our Aussie is well-loved at the farm every time :)”
“Sydney was wonderful with both my mini schnauzers. She took care of their every need and gave them lots of love. We have rebooked with her for several more dates and will continue to book with her for boarding in her home.”
“Rowdy was very well taken care of by Ms. Holly. She sent many pictures upon request, as well as fast responses. I believe he had a great time in her care and seemed to be in a good mood during pick up. Overall I highly recommend Holly as a great dog sitter and will come back again if I ever need!”
“Been our second time using Carmen. Our dogs always had a great time and really nice that she has a fenced in back yard. Carmen also provided crates so we didn’t have to bring ours. Quick to responses and well priced. Would use again and do recommend!”
“Veronica is great as always! Treats pets like family and her dogs do too :) We appreciate them every time and think our pup Sam is happy to see us but sad to leave his vacation home!”
“We had to book with Kayla pretty much as last minute as you could get. Our original Rover didn’t work out and we needed to find somewhere quick. Kayla was super communicative and easy going! Her other dogs are all so sweet and well trained. It was a great socialization experience for our dog. She sent us so many videos and pictures throughout the booking. We loved Kayla and would recommend her 1000x over”
“My fiancé and I went on a 5 day vacation out of town and our pup seemed to have such a great time with Richard & Kelly. I got updates, pictures and quick responses! He was very professional and has great reasonable prices. You can tell he is very experienced and I would send my pup to him any time I need to. 5/5 stars and 100% recommended.”
“Jenny was excellent. Took care of my two huskies while I traveled. She gave my updates just about everyday and that usually included a video/pic. The girls loved running around her fenced in yard and seeing her goats, chickens, and duck from the other side. They also enjoyed playing with her pups as well. Would definitely have my babies stay there again while I travel.”
About: I’ve always been the person who stops to say hi to every dog I pass and always at the cat section at the pet stores. I’ve cared for my own pets for years and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet wants to play all day or just curl up next to someone, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos because I know I’d want the same for my own pets. Pet care fits easily into my routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and whatever else your pet needs throughout the day. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll do my best to stick to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress free I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own and always put their safety and comfort first. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide, keep a close eye on your pet, and make sure they feel secure and cared for at all times. I’m also a big believer in communication, so you’ll receive updates and photos throughout their stay so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“I would definitely recommend Claire for petsitting. She friendly and accommodating, and our dog seemed very well cared for. Our only problem was finding the house because the address sent to us through Rover was not correct, but hopefully that has been fixed.”
“Courtney & Kam were amazing! We had a super informative meet and greet in the beginning. They had my boy over Christmas and I got pictures every day. I could tell how happy he was there. When I picked him up, he was super happy to see me, but I could also tell he was kind of sad to leave them. They went on many hiking adventures and he came back just as clean. Courtney & Kam were super flexible with the time, especially when I had to extend my trip a couple days early. Overall, I would recommend them. I could tell they loved my pup with all their heart!! They were super professional and very kind. I also saw how well kept and nice their home was.”
“Kurt was great with our dog Lucy while we were on vacation. I didn’t worry about her at all. He was quick to respond and sent pics throughout the week. I highly recommend!”
“Natalie took care of my sweet pittbull for 26 days while I traveled outside the country! At first I was nervous because the pictures had not been updated and honestly the appearance is slightly jarring at first. However if you can look past that, Natalie is a passionate dog owner, her own dogs are healthy, happy and well trained. My pittbull has tons of allergies and requires supplements, oral drops, baths, and topical foam. Natalie was willing to take that on, and provide a routine for my dog so that she could play, socialize, and be well cared for. Natalie gives daily pictures so you can visualize your dog is safe and sound! Don’t judge a book by its cover!! I am so glad my dog found her rhythm and enjoyed her time with Natalie. Highly recommend her! My dog came back looking shinny and happy! Will book her again!!”
“Amari was very accommodating for a last minute booking, kept me updated with lots of pictures and reassured me that my dog was doing great! Would definitely book with her again in the future.”
About: Some of my pet experience includes bathing dogs, taking care of dogs for friends, having my own dog who i care for, and loving all animals. I’ve trained my dog to for certain commands which i believe is very helpful. All my friends come to me when they need someone to take care of their fur babies! I am a college student with a work load, however no job. A lot of my days are spent in my home doing homework and pet care fits into my schedule because I can always be there to play and take you pets out. I don’t have very long classes either or in a big stretch so your pay would be cared for almost 24/7 I care for pets as if they were my children haha! In my home, I have bowls, treats, and toys for your pets. In your home, I would respect the space and take care of your pet as if it were my own.
About: I’ve owned a black Labrador(Anna) for over 13 years, she has not once had any sort of health issue as I’ve feed her well, and kept her up to date on vet visits. I’m caring, compassionate, and smart and versatile enough to be calm in any situation that may arise. I assure you that I will treat your pet as if it were my own. This allows me the freedom to stay focused on your pet and be there when other folks have to leave. If a situation ever does arrive my strength are communication so you can rest assured I will be in constant contact, which as a pet owner for an older girl myself id expect from others if I left her in their care. If the pet requires adequate exercise I have no problem going on a long walk with them and the space is pet friendly as my dog (Anna) is there. In your home, I can assure you that my experience will allow me to provide the best care for your loved ones.
About: I work part time and would love to help you with your sweet pets! I have been caring for animals - the typical dog and cat pets - as well as chickens, a pig, and even a donkey! I am very reliable, on-time, and most of all, I adore animals. Since I am a part time remote worker I have plenty of flexibility for your pet boarding needs - just reach out to me to see what works! I have a fenced yard, a pet-friendly home, a friendly indoor-outdoor farm dog, and outdoor mousers. Happy and ready to care for your indoor animals.
“Hannah was a great sitter with Molly! She was super flexible when I had a last minute need. While it was only a short bit, I could tell Molly was comfortable and well taken care of. She walked her and sent pictures! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter in the area!”
“Deann was great with communication and sending us updates, and she took care of our dogs very nicely. Dropping them off and picking them up was a breeze, would gladly use her service again. Thanks so much!”
