“Jessica and Josie were wonderful with Miss Ruby. Even understanding her occasional accident in the house as coming from anxiety. Possibly due to construction noises which were expected to be gone before Miss Ruby’s visit. It changed my perspective from paying for Dogcare to paying to have Miss Ruby share her joy with Josie and Jessica and their family. ???”
“My aussie absolutely loves staying with Nicole —playing outside and inside, munching on bones, and spending time with the family. I always am fully confident she’s happy and getting the absolute best care!! 😊”
“Swift, Brian, family were amazing with our two dogs! They sent lots of photos throughout the weekend and responded quickly. We will definitely be using them again and highly recommend!”
“We cannot say enough nice things about Laura. She took our two medium sized dogs in for over a week when we were in a pinch. She took all of our instructions to make sure our dogs were well taken care of and kept us updated with pictures the entire time…which helped us enjoy our vacation free of worry!”
“John did a great job with our Enzo dog. He is obviously a dog person! You can tell by the way he talks with and connects with dogs. Since this was the first time our dog boarded with someone, we wondered how he would do, but he was totally comfortable with John. By the way, John sent pictures to put us at ease, but also showed that our dog was happy and comfortable.”
“Christian responded quickly to our initial request & because we had a long drive he agreed to accommodate a 2 hour drop off window (we texted updates). He was friendly at drop off, happily engaged the dogs, asked good questions about their needs & sent photos as requested. At pick-up he offered details about their stay. Both dogs were happy to see us but seemed to have enjoyed their night with Christian. Would book again”
“Holly and her family were wonderfully accommodating and helpful with our pet Sylvie. They have a wealth of experience looking after dogs, and really appreciate their individual personalities and needs.Communication was great and I would hve them watch Sylvie again, anytime.”
“Alicia and her sweet family welcomed Ollie into their home for a 10 day stay. This was Ollie's first stay away from home and Alicia did her best to make him feel safe and comfortable during his stay. Upon pickup he was healthy and happy - would not hesitate to book again!”
“Ericca took great care of my dad's dogs while he was in the hospital. She was able to schedule with me last minute, over a holiday weekend, and extended the boarding by a day too. She was friendly, flexible, and kind. Recommended!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently have two pet goats who we spoil like dogs. My partner and I have 30 acres of beautiful land surrounded by woods, which is a perfect haven for running, fetch, and all sorts of outdoor shenanigans. I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule. I typically work a few hours in the morning, and then am outside working on projects and playing with the animals all day. We have a large property (about 30 acres) surrounded by woods with lots of room for your dog to run and explore. We also live near some great hiking trails.
“Samantha and her family were amazing with Strider! She worked to figure out the best way to burn his energy and to keep him happy. As a bonus, she lives in an area any dog would love with places to hike and things to smell. I absolutely recommend her!”
About: Reliable and responsible cat and dog lover, I've been fostering dogs for over a year and have successfully placed 9 foster dogs. I've also helped take care of friend's and family's pets my whole life and I take dog training seriously. My pet care schedule is fairly flexible at the moment due to recent life changes. Please reach out with your questions and pet care needs! I have a livestock fence for supervised zoomies with fence-respecting dogs. My dog, Licorice, is playful and well-socialized, 2 dog-savvy cats and I often have a foster dog or 2 living with me.
About: I love all animals and have fostered for the local Humane Society for the last couple of years. I am drawn to all animals regardless of type, size or breed. Sometimes the more unique the better but there’s something special about every pet. I work remotely so my schedule allows flexibility that is conducive to pet sitting. I am available 7 days a week. I can sometimes accommodate last minute bookings as well. I work remotely and love getting out for walks. I have a flexible schedule but I also know how hard it can be to entrust someone with your fur babies so I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
“Bear seems like he had such a great time with Christine and Lily!! We got lots of pictures and updates which put us at ease that he was having tons of fun! He will be going back very soon! Christine is so responsive and easy to talk to - we are so glad we connected with her!”
About: Dogs and Cats are just as stressed as you when you have to go out of town. I get it. I want to be here to help your fur baby at home have a low energy time as they are missing their parents when they are gone. I think it’s great to interact as much as possible let’s as much as I think it’s great give them space when they need it. I do not currently have any pets but I have been volunteering at animal shelters for ten years. Through this experience I was able to learn dog and cat behaviors of all kinds. I go in treating the area like it’s their space and I am just a visitor and not a threat. Usually I bring treats and try to see if it’s a good fit (if allowed).

“I felt really comfortable having Layton take care of Tsuki. I could tell Layton took time to hang out and connect with my cat, it made a big difference with Tsuki and gave me peace of mind during my trip.”
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved cat, Samson, to Louise, a pet sitter I found through Rover. I couldn't have been happier with the exceptional care and attention she provided to my furry friend. From the very first meeting, it was clear that Louise was a true animal lover. She took the time to get to know Samson, learning all about his personality, habits, and preferences. Throughout my trip, she sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time away. What really stood out to me about Louise was her flexibility and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure that Samson was happy and well-cared-for. When I unexpectedly had to extend my trip by two weeks, she was able to accommodate the change in plans without any hesitation. Overall, I would highly recommend Louise to anyone in need of a pet sitter. She is kind, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the well-being of animals. I will certainly be seeking her services again in the future, and I encourage others to do the same. Thank you, Louise, for everything you did for Samson - we are both so grateful!”
“Ayden was a fantastic house sitter. He took incredible care of our numerous animals, and even noticed that our pellet stove had malfunctioned and let us know! We highly recommend him.”
“Elias took fantastic care of my tricky kitty, including administering meds in food and dealing with frozen wet food (Smalls) which is trickier than scooping dry food or opening a can. They were very responsive communication-wise and enthusiastic. I will definitely turn to them again for kitty care when I next leave town.”
“Haley took amazing care of my two spicy foster kittens, Zorro and Delilah! She shared daily updates with photos, which kept me connected and reassured. I’m so grateful to Haley for the care she gave to these little ones. Highly recommend!”
About: I have many years of cat experience from overnight sits to caring for roommates' cats. I am experienced with cats of all ages. I love cuddly cats, and I also love cats who need to do their own thing. I am a responsible caregiver who can provide references upon request.
“Emilee did an amazing job with my two cats! She followed all directions, provided pictures and was an absolute pleasure to work with. If you’re looking for someone reliable, capable and great with animals, Emliee is best sitter around !”
“Brandy provides thorough and loving care to your critters when you need to be away. We are so grateful for the gentle care she provided our kitties (and the chicken care too)! Brandy also provided oral and topical meds for our older cats. We highly recommend her.”
“Lori is absolutely amazing - left for two weeks over the holidays, and came home to my cat Finn healthy and happy as ever! She was super accomodstkng and easy to work with, and always sent me the cutest photos. Will definitely be contacting Lori again if I’m traveling any time in the future.”
About: I've taken care of cats for many years now, and have two cats of my own. I can play with them, clean their litter boxes, feed them, and snuggle them as much as you'd like. I have experience giving cats baths and trimming their claws.
About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. Walking, feeding, and bathing both dogs and cats. I consider my pets family members! All of my babies are rescues. I have trained my dog through the GoodPup app and he knows the commands sit, stay, lay down, up, paw, leave it, heal, touch, and find it. All my pets are given enrichment activities throughout the day. They’re also stimulated with play/exercise. I know dog and cat body language. I have worked with dogs that have seizure disorders and know how to administer medication to both cats and dogs. I’m work Monday to Friday with my weekends free and open. My work schedule is Monday-Friday 8:30am to 4:30pm. I can take dogs for long walks, stimulate them through play, or with enrichment activities. I can administer medication if needed. For cats I can clean the litter box and stimulate them through play or enrichment activities. I can administer medication if needed. Pet safety is my first priority. I believe knowing pet body language is so important because that’s how they communicate their needs. I will care for your love ones as if they were my own! I will follow your schedule and instructions exactly as is because, you know your pet best! I can bath, walk, feed, administer medication, and give my full attention to your babies ☺️
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mother ran an animal rescue, and I was fortunate to spend my childhood helping care for, socialize, and train animals of all kinds; primarily dogs and cats. This experience taught me not only how to understand animal behavior, but also the patience, compassion, and consistency that every pet deserves. I am comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or requires extra patience and attention, I strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel secure and cared for. As a pet sitter and walker, I treat every animal as an individual and make their comfort, safety, and well-being my top priorities. You can expect reliable communication, attentive care, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and becoming someone you can trust whenever you need an extra helping hand. Experience Highlights * Raised in a family-run animal rescue environment * Experience caring for and handling dogs and cats of all ages * Familiar with basic training and positive reinforcement techniques * Comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and high-energy pets * Patient, gentle, and attentive to individual needs * Reliable communication and dependable care As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility to incorporate pet care naturally into my daily routine. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, play sessions, or simply having a calm presence nearby, I can provide care tailored to their individual needs. I take pride in being reliable, responsive, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I provide calm, attentive, and individualized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow all instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment with minimal disruption. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of companionship and affection. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can respond appropriately to each pet’s comfort level; whether they are energetic, shy, anxious, or senior. I aim to create a safe, relaxed atmosphere where pets feel secure and cared for. If caring for pets in my own home (when applicable), I ensure a quiet, clean, and supervised environment with consistent routines, regular outdoor breaks, enrichment, and lots of attention. Safety is always the top priority, and I only introduce new animals in a controlled and compatible way. Overall, I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and genuine care.
“This is the second time that I used Amad to care for my cats, he has been great, will stay and play with them, easy to reach and will quickly respond . Overall we highly recommended .”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of my neighbor’s cats and have two of my own kitties! Honey Lemon and Jasper. I have raised kittens rejected by their mom from 5 weeks old and found them loving homes. I have traveled with both of my own cats via car and plane. I individualize my care according to your pets needs! I look forward to meeting your pets!
“Tessa is so wonderful! Our dogs did extremely well with her for her 1st time meeting them. We appreciated her patience with the boys, and that she came from the distance that she did to meet and get to know them.”
“Lily was extremely helpful when my previously booked sitter cancelled at the last minute. She was friendly and able to respect our home's dietary restrictions. She was a lifesaver! My senior car was cared for, and the house was in order upon our return. Lily provided occassional updates on how things were going and a few photos. She always responded quickly to messages despite a time difference. We'd be open to hiring Lily again.”

“Letícia took such great care of Bomi!! She was incredibly kind and patient with her. Bomi usually needs some time to warm up, especially when we leave her, but Letícia was so understanding of our dog’s needs. She kept us updated with pictures and Bomi looked so comfortable and happy! Her dog, Malu is super sweet too! We highly recommend Letícia if you are looking for a sitter 👍”

They are definitely dog lovers, we feel fortunate to have found Jie. We love knowing our dog is safely in good hands, and having a great time to boot!”

“Alicia is great!! She accommodated my last minute request for daycare and was very easy to communicate with. My puppy had a blast playing - very happy and comfortable when I picked her up. I’d book again with Alicia anytime!”
“Our dogs had a blast at Nicole’s place. They got to run around in her nice fenced in yard, played a lot of fetch and got to cool off in the kiddie pool. Nicole and her family are obviously dog lovers and I was so happy we left our girls with them. I would highly recommend Nicole to care for your pups as if they were her own.”
“Ericca was extremely communicative and flexible when it came to getting my dog dropped off and picked up! Highly recommend, especially if you’re looking for someone with experience with GSDs!”
“Samantha and Brian has a large backyard for my dog to roam and they took him on a nice hike in the woods. My dog had so much fun with them and their young kids. I would choose them again for a eventful daycare that my swiss shepherd definitely needs!”

“Sean was super easy to book and work with. Very responsive and easy drop off/pick up. He kept me updated throughout the day on how Beau was doing and sent pictures/videos of what a great time they were having. Would recommend for sure!”
“Mike and Laura cared for my pup like she was their own. My dog is a little anxious and overly excitable but Mike took that all in his stride. He sent photos throughout the day and I could quickly see she felt right at home. She had a long walk and lots of playtime with her favorite game of frisbee. The night before we had a big snow storm and Mike was excellent at keeping me up to date on the road conditions. I will be happy to go back another time.”

About: Hi, my name is Layton and I've been an animal lover my whole life. I've had furry family members since I was five years old and multiple re-occuring caretaking jobs, so I know how to care for your baby. From 2018 to 2020 I worked as a dog groomer and had the privilege to work with pups of all kind - big, small, young, old, excitable and laid-back. I especially love to provide YOU with a sense of comfort knowing that your pet is in wonderful hands. I am available for overnight sittings, drop-in visits, walks, trips to the dog park and even transports to the vet and groomer. Just let me know what kind of care your pet(s) need and I'll be there! I currently have a pretty flexible schedule for the time being. I am willing to take on weekly walks, occasional overnight sittings and longer term stays. I do not offer care at my home (I live with two cats that are not too fond of other animals). But, I can provide meals, walks, play and love for your pet in their own home!
About: Hi there! My name is Taylor. I absolutely love dogs and believe that most times they are better than people. I will take care of your dog(s) as if they are my own.

“Lilly was great to work with, as well as reliable and responsive to a small last l-minute adjustment. I loved getting the photos of Trina. I will definitely ask Lilly to care for Trina again!”
About: I volunteered for 1.5 years at a shelter in Montana and most recently worked at a doggie daycare/boarding facility as a handler and trainer for approximately a year. I personally have been a dog owner since 2013 (not including family dogs growing up). I have experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and demeanors. I have extensive hands-on training in reading dog body language. I am particularly well-versed in building a good relationship with nervous/fearful dogs. I treat every dog as if they were my own pet! I’m currently working full-time and looking to do pet care on the side. My schedule can vary from week to week but we can figure out what works best for both of our schedules. I always respect a dog’s boundaries and never do anything that they are uncomfortable with. I am a very confident handler and that helps in building a trusting relationship with a new dog. Even if the dog immediately wants to be my best friend, I let them come to me and I let them set the tone and pace. The most important thing with any dog is patience and not forcing them into a situation that could be stressful for them. I have successfully trained two dogs that I adopted with behavioral issues including reactivity to other dogs & people, and resource guarding. I believe in positive reinforcement ALWAYS. If a correction is needed I use a firm but calm voice, and praise when the inappropriate behavior stops. You can rest assured that I will never do anything to harm your beloved pet.
About: Each pet has their own personality and style and I adapt to exactly what your pets need and want. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want space, they get space. It's all about the precious pets needs for me. I provide 5 star service and have a flexible schedule to meet your and your four legged friends needs! I don’t have a furry friend of my own but I love the opportunity to give a little love to all the pets I meet. Any dog big or small is awesome in my book. My aim is to make them happy and your life a bit easier! I look forward to hearing from you and getting to spend time with your wonderful pets! I currently work a 9 to 5 remote job and have plenty of flexibility to meet you and your pets needs. I can house sit or do drop ins as needed with my schedule. I am the happiest when I am around dogs and enjoy playing with them! I have been the go to dog sitter for my friends and family for over 8 years. I have access to trails in my backyard and live and work in a dog friendly area. I love meeting new friends and having fun adventures around our gorgeous town.
“Michael is an amazing dog walker for Theo. He is always available for us, even if it’s only a day or so warning and Theodore absolutely adores him. He sends photo updates to me which makes me so happy to see Theo when I’m gone from work! Thank you Michael!!!”

“Jessica and Josie were wonderful with Miss Ruby. Even understanding her occasional accident in the house as coming from anxiety.

It changed my perspective from paying for Dogcare to paying to have Miss Ruby share her joy with Josie and Jessica and their family. ???”

“We cannot say enough nice things about Laura. She took our two medium sized dogs in for over a week when we were in a pinch. She took all of our instructions to make sure our dogs were well taken care of and kept us updated with pictures the entire time…which helped us enjoy our vacation free of worry!”
“John did a great job with our Enzo dog. He is obviously a dog person! You can tell by the way he talks with and connects with dogs. Since this was the first time our dog boarded with someone, we wondered how he would do, but he was totally comfortable with John. By the way, John sent pictures to put us at ease, but also showed that our dog was happy and comfortable.”
“Christian responded quickly to our initial request & because we had a long drive he agreed to accommodate a 2 hour drop off window (we texted updates). He was friendly at drop off, happily engaged the dogs, asked good questions about their needs & sent photos as requested. At pick-up he offered details about their stay. Both dogs were happy to see us but seemed to have enjoyed their night with Christian. Would book again”
“Holly and her family were wonderfully accommodating and helpful with our pet Sylvie. They have a wealth of experience looking after dogs, and really appreciate their individual personalities and needs.Communication was great and I would hve them watch Sylvie again, anytime.”
“Alicia and her sweet family welcomed Ollie into their home for a 10 day stay. This was Ollie's first stay away from home and Alicia did her best to make him feel safe and comfortable during his stay. Upon pickup he was healthy and happy - would not hesitate to book again!”
“Ericca took great care of my dad's dogs while he was in the hospital. She was able to schedule with me last minute, over a holiday weekend, and extended the boarding by a day too. She was friendly, flexible, and kind. Recommended!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently have two pet goats who we spoil like dogs. My partner and I have 30 acres of beautiful land surrounded by woods, which is a perfect haven for running, fetch, and all sorts of outdoor shenanigans. I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule. I typically work a few hours in the morning, and then am outside working on projects and playing with the animals all day. We have a large property (about 30 acres) surrounded by woods with lots of room for your dog to run and explore. We also live near some great hiking trails.
“Samantha and her family were amazing with Strider! She worked to figure out the best way to burn his energy and to keep him happy. As a bonus, she lives in an area any dog would love with places to hike and things to smell. I absolutely recommend her!”
About: Reliable and responsible cat and dog lover, I've been fostering dogs for over a year and have successfully placed 9 foster dogs. I've also helped take care of friend's and family's pets my whole life and I take dog training seriously. My pet care schedule is fairly flexible at the moment due to recent life changes. Please reach out with your questions and pet care needs! I have a livestock fence for supervised zoomies with fence-respecting dogs. My dog, Licorice, is playful and well-socialized, 2 dog-savvy cats and I often have a foster dog or 2 living with me.
About: I love all animals and have fostered for the local Humane Society for the last couple of years. I am drawn to all animals regardless of type, size or breed. Sometimes the more unique the better but there’s something special about every pet. I work remotely so my schedule allows flexibility that is conducive to pet sitting. I am available 7 days a week. I can sometimes accommodate last minute bookings as well. I work remotely and love getting out for walks. I have a flexible schedule but I also know how hard it can be to entrust someone with your fur babies so I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
About: Dogs and Cats are just as stressed as you when you have to go out of town. I get it. I want to be here to help your fur baby at home have a low energy time as they are missing their parents when they are gone. I think it’s great to interact as much as possible let’s as much as I think it’s great give them space when they need it. I do not currently have any pets but I have been volunteering at animal shelters for ten years. Through this experience I was able to learn dog and cat behaviors of all kinds. I go in treating the area like it’s their space and I am just a visitor and not a threat. Usually I bring treats and try to see if it’s a good fit (if allowed).
“DJ was excellent with my pup and I will definitely be keeping him in mind when booking in the future. He was very communicative and sent lots of updates as well as cute photos of their adventures. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible, caring sitter.”
