“Emily & Eric were both friendly and very understanding to my dog’s personality and needs. They took great care of Zuri! I would have them care for Zuri again! THANK YOU.”
“Araceli & her husband were amazing!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ They took care of our Sullivan for 2 weeks while we were on our honeymoon, and their updates, messages, and pictures reflected their commitment to ensuring that our baby felt safe and comfortable. When Sully had a bit of an allergy flareup on his nose, they were quick to notify me and give him some ointment. It truly seemed that they cared for our pup as they would their own. I HIGHLY recommend them if you are looking for a sitter. 💜 They are truly lovely!!”
“We have used Carolyn so many times now, and she is always so caring with our Tato. She makes sure he receives plenty of attention and gives us lots of pictures and videos to enjoy. We will always recommend Carolyn, you won’t regret it!!”
“Colleen was great! Very accommodating with scheduling, sent updates during the stay, and my guy looked like he had a great time when I picked him up. Highly recommended!”
“Grandpa’s Doggy Den is the best! Steve took great care of our dog Chester during a one week stay. He kept us updated and sent photos and videos which we were happy to receive. Steve’s love of dogs is obvious by the way he cares for each dog individually making sure their needs are met and they enjoy their stay and have fun! I highly recommend Grandpa’s Doggy Den!”
“I had to leave my cat for a week while traveling for work and she did great. Leah & Chris are amazing and the cat room that they have set-up made Ellee feel at home. Thanks so much for taking such good care of Ellee, Leah & Chris!!”
“We can't say enough great things about Jared! He watched our girl Posie and we felt so relieved to leave her with such a capable sitter who attended to her needs so well and communicated clearly and quickly with us! He was super flexible with pick up and drop off times to accommodate our traveling schedule. Will certainly be booking again!”
“Jennifer and her family were really great! They took such great care of our Junie. Sent us lots of updates, photos, and videos! Made us feel at ease while on vacation. She loved playing with their dogs. She came home exhausted from all the fun she had! She’ll definitely be staying with Jennifer again next time we need to leave town!”
“Jennifer took great care of Jack while I was out of town for a week, he absolutely loved all the attention he got at her house! I appreciated the quick responses to messages and the pictures Jennifer sent, my mind was at ease all week. I'd definitely use Jennifer for dog sitting again!!”
“To start, Danielle had my dog for a daycare, and, everything went great. I received photos showing him walking with others and I know him well enough to know he was enjoying his time. I felt comfortable to go ahead and schedule two overnights with Danielle for him during my next work trip. Things I love about Danielle are that she really pays attention to what you say, the details. She is straightforward and not afraid to express any concerns (such as safety of certain types of collars etc.) Her communication has been excellent. She walks every day with multiple dogs and the pack is such an enjoyable place for my dog. I'm not inundated with photos, but, receive just enough to know he's doing well! We will be boarding at Danielle's as long as she'll have us 💜”
“Love love love it all that they provided to our Tofu❤️Absolutely recommend Linda and her family hosting your fur babies. Our Tofu spent his best two weeks at their place with lots of walks, treats, and even baths when needed. They asked many questions before hand to get to know Tofu and arranged a visit as well. It was such a relief for us during our international trip where we had no access to text messages and major social media. However, Linda still offered to contact us via WhatsApp in order to send daily updates.”
“This was Chloe's first time away for a long trip and we couldn't be happier that we booked her stay with Gary and Carol! We appreciated the ease of drop-off and pick-up and the quick response time while we were away. Gary was so kind and flexible with my booking mistake on the pick-up day, which we greatly appreciated!! Chloe was nervous at drop-off but seemed to settle in quickly and have a great time. I appreciated the photos of Chloe while we were gone. Thank you and we will be happy to book again in the future!”
“Oh my goodness, I'm pretty sure Hazel had an even better vacation than I did! From the start she was comfortable and snuggly with Paul and Arnel. Their home is warm, relaxed, and attracts good "dog vibes," if that's a thing. I so appreciated the wonderful communication, too-- frequent pictures and sweet observations came my way. As a first time Rover user, I had lots of questions about logistics, communication, etc., and Paul was incredibly kind and helpful. Thank you, Paul and Arnel, for being the best imaginable home away from home for sweet Hazel!”
“What a fantastic sitter. Our little guy is very anxious and created some issues for them….. and they dealt with it with grace and professionalism. Very knowledgeable and trusted people. Regular updates, pictures and communication. Thank you so very much!”
“The people in this home made Mabel feel welcomed and loved. How do I know? All of the pictures and updates Christine sent me! I was able to work out of town without worrying about my girl, Mabes. My work can be stressful, and not having to worry about Mabel means so much to me. I will definitely want Mabel to go back to Christine's home!”

“Tiffany was great! Our girls warmed right up to her, even the skittish one! Great communication and pics of our 2 silly calico girls. Will definitley use Tiffany again!”
About: I have taken care of a dog, a cat, and farm animals since I was 12 years old. I love walking long distances with my dog. I am also very good at reading animal body language and I know how to do all of the basic animal care necessities. I am currently working from home so I would have lots of time for walks and hikes and play. I will make sure your dog comes home happy and tired. I do have a golden retriever and our schedule that your dog would also follow unless they’re special needs is we wake up at seven am, we go outside to go potty, then feed them they play and rest then we go for a walk. We love our Whipple Creek 🌲❤️ Trail then we drive home and rest. Then later I give them their second feeding, take them out to go to the bathroom and take a small walk in our neighborhood before it’s time to rest and chill and head to bed. I live in a cozy gated apartment with my husband, Greg and my golden retriever. My husband works as a in-home caregiver and when he gets home he helps me out. He is also an animal lover, and if I am housesitting, he travels with me as well as my very friendly golden retriever. I promise as a married couple we will respect your house and environment we will also bring our own sleeping equipment and we don’t mind doing house chores.
“Susana took wonderful care of our kitties while we were away. She took daily photos and gave regular updates on how they were doing, and was kind, communicative, and very professional the whole time. We are glad we found her and are excited to be able to work with her again!!”
“Brooklyn did a great job taking care of my kitty when I had to go out of town on short notice. She was wonderful to work with, her attention to detail and communication skills are top notch. My shy cat quickly warmed up to her after a few visits. This shows that Brooklyn is great with animals, as my pet is very selective about who she trusts. I look forward to booking with Brooklyn again and I would highly recommend her to others looking for a pet sitter.”
About: Cats have been a part of my life the longest. I’m experienced with daily feedings, fresh water, keeping the litter box spotless, and of course giving plenty of love and cuddles along the way. I volunteered some time at a local animal shelter in the cat wing. Sanitizing their cages, giving social/play time, and of course lots of cuddles.
“I was so happy to get updates and photos every day! It made me feel like she was in good hands, and I liked the reminder she was doing well. It sounds like my cat had a great time and was entertained during her stay. Thank you!”
“Michaela recently met Vino and is working in a relationship with him. She is very kind, attentive to Vino’s needs and keeps communication open with us as parents. We can’t wait to continue partnering with her for Vino’s care.”
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals for over 8 years now! I love dogs and cats, but I’ve also cared for horses, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, and more! I’m a full-time university student, but I’ll still have plenty of time to care for your animals! Especially in the evenings and afternoons! I’m free most of the summer as well! I have a big yard for your pups to run around in, and a friendly little pup of my own! I can crate your pup if needed, or I can also drop in to your home as well!
About: I recently worked at the Humane Society for Southwest Washington for 2 years; My position here was Animal Care Technician II, where I worked with many different animals from different backgrounds everyday, but I specialized in feline care. I performed basic animal husbandry, including feeding, cleaning (especially litter boxes), daily health monitoring, safe and stress-free handling, as well as behavior management, and administering medications and vaccinations. I've handled care for cats with zoonotic illnesses, including upper respiratory illnesses (cat cold) and ringworm. A large part of my job entailed working with and educating adopters and existing owners on feline behavior and needs, ensuring responsible adoptions and a perfect home environment for all cats with different needs. I've even spent so much time working with barn cats that they turned lap cat! I hold myself to the highest standard of making sure all animals feel safe and comfortable, and having an understanding of animal boundaries and cues. Aside from my professional experience, I have also sporadically had kittos of my own for over 10 years.
About: I have two miniature Dachshunds who are my best friends. I deeply understand the need for someone trustworthy to not only care but also love your dog when you can’t. I’m here to help. I work 7 days on 7 days off. During my off time I’m home without any other responsibilities and have all day to take care of your best friend. I have a fenced yard and two friendly small dogs to keep your baby company. My dogs are free to roam the house, but also have a guest room for them to keep space if they need it.
“We loved having NIKKI care for our cats while we were away. She is so sweet, and very professional. I know immediately upon meeting her that she would do a great job. During our trip she checked in with us each day to give us a little update on our fur babies, including taking the time to send pictures. Both of our cats seems right at home with her... and snuggled in close for cuddles when she came over. Nikki followed our instructions to the letter. I definitely hope to work with her again sometime, and highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Maddie was absolutely great with our 3 dogs!! She was very responsive, attentive, and super flexible with our last minute dog-sitters falling through. The boys absolutely loved her and I'm sure they will be seeing much more of her when we're in need of a sitter!!! Thank you again!!!”
“Maria was very attentive and caring with the dogs. She went out of her way to help the dogs feel loved while I was away. I would highly recommend her to watch over anyone’s extended pet family, she truly cares and treats every pet as her own.”
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life and have a passion for making sure they feel loved! I always had pets growing up with my family having up to 3 dogs and 5 cats at one point! My fiance and I now have our own 2 year old Golden Retriever who is full of energy and loves making new friends! I'm currently a full-time online student at Clark College so I'm always home taking care of my Golden Retriever. Between my fiance and I there will always be someone home! We live on a acre of land and backyard is fully fenced in so there's plenty of space for your baby(s) to play and run!

“Brandi and her husband took care of Sparky and Remi really well. I’m glad they played together whole time with Brandi’s pup, Nala. We definitely will request another daycare service from Brandi if we need!!”
“Emily & Eric took great care of our pups while we were visiting from out of town for a family Christmas party. We appreciate them being so accommodating with the festivities ending a little later than expected. Our fur babies were obviously very comfortable in their home because they are so calm in their crates in the car at the moment. We will definitely leave our girls with Emily and Eric again when we are back in Vancouver!”
About: I have experience providing attentive pet care, including administering medication to cats safely and calmly. I cared for a kitten with asthma, monitoring symptoms closely and ensuring medication was given on schedule. I am patient and gentle, helping pets stay comfortable and stress-free during treatment. As a teacher, I have summers off and a very flexible schedule during that time. During the school year, I’m available in the evenings and on weekends for pet sitting and drop-ins. I keep a safe, calm home for pets—run by two cats and one dog who think they’re in charge. I understand pet dynamics and make sure every animal feels comfortable and cared for.
“Jenny was great! She was able to accept a very last minute request for doggie daycare. My pups came home last night and they are still snoozy today. I will definitely use Jenny again! :)”
“Tashi is doing well! Looks forward to going to doggie daycare with Brianna. Today, he tried to sneak out to the car when I left! He loves being around the kids and other dogs. Thank you for taking great care of him!”
“Jared was an excellent sitter! Both my Papillons seemed to have a great time with Jared, Bartholomew, and their cats. Communication was smooth and timely throughout. I would be happy to bring my furry babies to Jared again. Highly recommended!”
“Genevieve went above and beyond for me and my dog today. It was a last minute request for a new dog to spend the day with her and because I wouldn't be able to drive in the evening she dropped him off for me. So unbelievably helpful. I got pictures of him having way too much fun and I could tell when she was leaving how much he liked her. Knowing he was being so taken care of today made things so much easier. Thank you”
About: Hi! I’m Megan and I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I got my very first dog when I was 7, and ever since then, dogs and cats have always been an important part of my life. Growing up, my family always had 1–2 dogs in the house, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. Now, I share my home with a sweet dog and a cuddly cat, and I truly love giving them all the attention and care they need. When your pet stays with me, you can expect: - Lots of love, attention, and snuggles - Daily updates and cute photos - Clear, friendly communication - A safe, comfortable home where they’ll be treated like family I know how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away from your pets, so I’ll always go the extra mile to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and cared for like my own. I work from home, so I can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Every 3–4 hours, we take walks around the neighborhood, and in the evenings, when the weather is nice, we head to our neighborhood dog park for some extra playtime. For kitties, I make sure they get plenty of indoor adventures to keep them happy and entertained. I live in a gated neighborhood, and there’s a fenced dog park just downstairs from my apartment, so dogs can safely enjoy walks and playtime. For cats, I make sure they have a safe indoor space to explore, and all our windows have secure screens so there’s no worry about them sneaking out.
“Dominique has been great to have as someone we trust to watch our puppy. She has been very easy to communicate with and flexible with her time which we are grateful for since sometimes our schedules don’t always go as planned. I can tell our dog Kali is loved and has a great time there when I pick her up. There’s usually other friendly dogs there throughout the day that Kali can play with and it’s always nice to hear she’s making friends. We will definitely be back!”

We have a 10 yr old Lab/germen Shepard mix who loves having play dates and having friends over at our home. We do not have a fenced yard but I can take your pup on plenty of walks in our yard! I have tons of time to take good care of your furry babies, we have a ton of space on our 2 acre lot to play with your pup and take them for walks. We have three adults in the house and 1 child, so plenty if supervision. My dog is has an electric collar so he has a boundary he does not cross, I keep dogs that are prone to be curious on a leash since my yard is not fenced. I keep dogs separated when eating.
About: I am a nurse, but I have always wanted to work with dogs, and I see this Pet Care opportunity as a chance to fulfill my childhood dream. I'm thrilled with this pet care opportunity because of my deep love for animals. I believe my nursing experience will be valuable, as caring for patients has taught me compassion and attention to detail, which I hope to bring to the pets in your care. I would love to contribute to your team and learn from your experiences in pet care. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to connecting and sharing our mutual enthusiasm for animals. I am happy to adjust my schedule if needed to help out, so please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss specific times. Looking forward to your response. I live 10 minutes from Portland Airport. I understand how important your pet is to you, and I am committed to providing attentive, loving care that ensures their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I strive to engage with animals in ways that help them feel secure and appreciated, including maintaining familiar routines. My home features a spacious, fenced yard where we enjoy daily walks and playing fetch. I have experience caring for my own pet, Macy and in my childhood other animals such as parrots, fishes, and even a monkey. One of my favorite moments with dogs is play fetch—seeing their excitement always reminds me just how rewarding caring for animals can be. I take my responsibilities seriously and am always eager to learn more about each pet’s unique personality and age. To help maintain a safe environment, I kindly ask that your dog be protected with Simparica or a similar product recommended by your preferred veterinarian, such as Frontier, which guards against ticks and fleas Please let me know if you have any specific concerns, preferences, or special requests. I am open to feedback and happy to adapt to your pet's unique needs and routines. I am available for a meeting any day this week to discuss your loved one’s requirements, and after our meeting I will tailor my care to your pet’s needs. Thank you again for entrusting me with this important responsibility. I look forward to meeting you and your pet, and to providing compassionate care that brings you peace of mind.

About: Hi all! My name is Peyton, I'm 20, and from Vancouver, Washington. I recently worked at the Humane Society for Southwest Washington for nearly 2 years, where I was an Animal Care Technician, working with all types of animals, including small animals like rabbits/hamsters, as well as reptiles, with a focus in feline care and behavior management. Here I performed basic animal husbandry like feeding, cleaning, and daily monitoring for changes in health, to small and large animal handling, handling and administering medications/medication schedules, special diets, managing animals with diabetes, administering vaccinations, wound/infection/fungus/stitch care, and working with and managing animals with behavioral struggles from all different backgrounds, genetic or epigenetic causes. Also a large part of my job being picking up poo of course! Unfortunately I had to leave my position at HSSW due to going to college for Animal Rehabilitation, which is why I'm now here on Rover, to stay connected with the animals, as well as to help support my journey! Alls to say, I’m certified in animal safety and Fear Free, with a professional background in animal handling, behavior, and medical needs. I have 3 smaller fur babies, all of which are rescues. Lulu, 12 y/o English Bulldog (still kickin' it, I know!), Piggy 4 y/o Micro-Bully, and Heather an 8 y/o Staffordshire Bull Terrier, who was rescued from a popular dog fighting facility in Houston, TX. This had caused some nervous and defensive behaviors within her, but she has taught me more than any animal has ever taught me, especially on how to manage these types of behavioral situations that feel hopeless. However, through patience and perseverance, today she's living a normal and silly dog life, you would never be able to tell what she has gone through now, she is now my dog that teaches other dogs how to dog properly! Back to why I call them my small fur babies, my family also has a dairy farm of about 30+ cows! Here I also provide basic animal husbandry, and have gained experience in large animal handling and behavior management, so don't worry about your Great Dane or Mastiff! With this I participated in 4-H for about 8 years, helping others on large animal/livestock handling, health, procedures, and agricultural education. Predominantly though, I have grown up with and cared for all different types of dogs. And to not forget the little guys if there's any fellow fish tank enthusiasts out there, I have lots of experience in owning and caring for different types of freshwater fish, including bettas, pea puffers, goldfish, etc. Last but not least, I've also had hamsters personally alongside caring for them professionally. Overall, I have heavy personal and professional experience with all types of animals, whether that's flat-faced or scaly, sleepy or the energy of 10 huskies, and from the smallest to the biggest pets, whether that's literally, mentally, or in their heart. If you've made it this far, thank you so much for your time and trust, and I hope all is well for you and yours! :) I'm currently in college for Animal Rehabilitation and for safety reason as of now, I unfortunately cannot do overnights. I'm mostly available during the weekdays, from early morning, to evenings and shorter same-day notice booking will depend on how short of notice due to time, location, and my college class schedule. Weekends are more difficult for me due to personal responsibilities, but I am not completely unavailable, please don't be afraid to ask! You, your pets, and your homes privacy, safety, and quality of care is extremely important to me. If you're unhappy with any service please do not be afraid to let me know so I can do better. Before providing a service I will ask and make sure of any parameters and instructions you might have, and will uphold them. It's also a promise that I will communicate thoroughly with you on general updates, and if I have any questions or concerns, and I will be sure to take pics of your fur baby to share with you! I will do all in my power to give them the same level of care as you would, or if they were my own. As for my home, I have a 6-foot fenced, average sized yard lined with river rock, as well as a side yard bedded with bark dust if your pup prefers to do business there. I currently have 3 female mature dogs, so boarding is very dependent on what you think of your pets compatibility. Due to this boarding is stricter with dogs and puppies rather than small animals but inquiries are always welcome!
About: What sets me apart is the amount of attention and companionship I’m able to provide. Since I work remotely, pets aren’t left alone for long periods and can keep a consistent routine throughout the day. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and stress-free environment while treating every pet like family. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s extra playtime, maintaining routines, giving medication, or providing gentle care for shy or senior pets. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they always feel connected and reassured while away. I work remotely, allowing me to provide attentive care and companionship throughout the day. I offer flexible scheduling for daytime drop-ins, walks, and overnight care throughout the week. I care for pets by keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and updates for owners while they’re away.
“Dina was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Nettie, who can be anxious a lot of the time. She sent daily notes and a picture after each walk and was wonderful with communication. We will absolutely be using her services again. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve been loving on four-leggeds for as long as I can remember—and I’ve meant every second of it. Over the past 15 years, I’ve raised two mastiffs (a Fila and a Cane Corso), both topping 180 lbs—so I’m very comfortable with big personalities and even bigger pups. My heart dog, Gauge, lived to 15, and losing him last March felt like losing a piece of myself. Caring for animals has always felt like a privilege to me. Earning their trust? That’s everything. I know every home has its own rules—whether your dog is crate-trained or couch-spoiled—and I’ll always follow your preferences to a T. That said… dogs here are treated like family. Think cozy, calm, and lots of attention. I’m a little (okay, very) obsessed with making sure they feel safe, happy, and completely at home. I’m fully prepared with all the accoutrements (think toys, high-quality treats, etc) to make your babies stay feel like their home away from home. And I simply can’t wait! If I’ve been hired to take care of someone’s fur baby, then that is my number 1 priority. I build my day around the dog’s needs. I make time for what’s necessary, and being a long time dog owner myself, having dogs in the house just comes naturally. Walks happen daily with or without pups around, so having a dog to join me would just be an added *major bonus. Potty breaks and special care requests are something I just tend to as needed. I care for pets in either my home or my clients home to my clients specifications. I do have a fully fenced back yard with a large grassy area. There’s an off-leash dog park right down the street from me that’s never very busy. I’d love to be able to take pups to the park. I also walk everyday and will be taking the dog on walks with me. I have a 5 year old son who loves animals and loves to help out with ‘the chores’ that come along with animal care.
About: I have been surrounded by pets my entire life. When I lived in Russia, we had a pug that was with us for 10 years. Now, living in America, I continue my journey as a pet owner with a Yorkshire Terrier and a Maltese. Caring for two small dogs requires special attention and knowledge of their specific needs. I feed them daily, groom their coats, take them for walks, and play with them to ensure they stay healthy and happy. I know how to provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets, especially when their owners are away. For me, taking care of animals is not just a job but an opportunity to show my love and help to them. I sincerely love animals and am ready to do everything possible to make them feel comfortable and happy. I may not have the most extensive experience and skills, but I am prepared to provide a high level of care for pets, regardless of their breed and needs. Additionally, I am happy to take care of and look after cats, knowing how important it is to create a cozy and safe environment for them. Pet care fits very well into my routine. I have school only two days a week, and each day is just about two hours, so I’m very flexible and available most of the time. This allows me to focus on the pets I care for, follow their schedule, and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I make sure pets are supervised, have access to fresh water, and stay in a clean, pet-friendly space. I follow the owner’s routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I introduce pets slowly to new environments, avoid unsafe areas, and always use leashes outdoors. I maintain good communication with owners, provide updates, and send photos so they feel confident their pet is happy and safe. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you complete peace of mind.
About: I've grown up constantly around dogs and taking care of them. My family and I would often get dogs from shelters, so behavioral issues are no problem for me! I'm used to the crazy-fun nature of these furry creatures. I have trained all my dogs, and when I was 14 got my own chihuahua that I raised from a puppy. I enjoy spending time with dogs and animals and would love to help out with your furry friends. I'm currently in school part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I have two cats of my own that I take care of everyday by playing with them, giving them fresh water and food, brushing them, and of course lots of cuddles. Coming into your home I will be very cleanly. I'll give your pets and home my upmost respect. With me your animals will be in amazing care.
About: I’m a professionally trained animal caregiver with a Veterinary Assistant certification, offering reliable, high quality care for pets of all kinds. I have multiple years of experience in dog and cat behavior, pet CPR, emergency response, and administering medications, including care for pets with long-term medical conditions. I currently work at a dog daycare and boarding facility. In my free time, I volunteer as a veterinary assistant for WCGHS in their kennels and spay/neuter clinic. I’ve also volunteered with Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and the Salt Lake City Humane Society, working with animals of all temperaments, including reactive and behaviorally sensitive dogs. I have two rescue dogs and one kitty of my own, including one pup with epilepsy. I have fostered kittens, cats, and medically and behaviorally complex dogs. I bring a calm, confident energy that helps pets feel safe and supported. I’m also currently shadowing a professional trainer and working toward my dog training certification. You and your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priority. I work part time, short shifts as an animal care attendant, and volunteer the rest of my time! My availability varies, but am able to provide potty breaks every 5hrs(or less)! I am flexible and willing to adapt to your schedule :) I’ve never met an animal I didn’t get along with! I am willing to watch/walk multiple pets at a time and can adapt to any preferred schedules or practices you have for your pet. I have two doggy seatbelts installed in my car and a squeaky clean driving record!
About: I had such a great experience with rover when I was on vacation I decided to sign up! I have always had a pet in my home and I know how important it is to have a responsible pet sitter to care for them. I can house sit, watch pets in my home, do drop in visits you name it. If you have a special request just ask! I have a spoiled 9 lb chiweenie name Bo. I live in a house with a yard in the country. I’m a teacher so I work Monday through Friday and have the normal school breaks like Christmas and summer. We would love to care for you babies! Let me know if you have questions.

“Araceli & her husband were amazing!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ They took care of our Sullivan for 2 weeks while we were on our honeymoon, and their updates, messages, and pictures reflected their commitment to ensuring that our baby felt safe and comfortable. When Sully had a bit of an allergy flareup on his nose, they were quick to notify me and give him some ointment. It truly seemed that they cared for our pup as they would their own. I HIGHLY recommend them if you are looking for a sitter. 💜 They are truly lovely!!”
“Colleen was great! Very accommodating with scheduling, sent updates during the stay, and my guy looked like he had a great time when I picked him up. Highly recommended!”
“Grandpa’s Doggy Den is the best! Steve took great care of our dog Chester during a one week stay. He kept us updated and sent photos and videos which we were happy to receive. Steve’s love of dogs is obvious by the way he cares for each dog individually making sure their needs are met and they enjoy their stay and have fun! I highly recommend Grandpa’s Doggy Den!”
“I had to leave my cat for a week while traveling for work and she did great. Leah & Chris are amazing and the cat room that they have set-up made Ellee feel at home. Thanks so much for taking such good care of Ellee, Leah & Chris!!”
“Jennifer took great care of Jack while I was out of town for a week, he absolutely loved all the attention he got at her house! I appreciated the quick responses to messages and the pictures Jennifer sent, my mind was at ease all week. I'd definitely use Jennifer for dog sitting again!!”
“To start, Danielle had my dog for a daycare, and, everything went great. I received photos showing him walking with others and I know him well enough to know he was enjoying his time. I felt comfortable to go ahead and schedule two overnights with Danielle for him during my next work trip. Things I love about Danielle are that she really pays attention to what you say, the details. She is straightforward and not afraid to express any concerns (such as safety of certain types of collars etc.) Her communication has been excellent. She walks every day with multiple dogs and the pack is such an enjoyable place for my dog. I'm not inundated with photos, but, receive just enough to know he's doing well! We will be boarding at Danielle's as long as she'll have us 💜”
“Love love love it all that they provided to our Tofu❤️Absolutely recommend Linda and her family hosting your fur babies. Our Tofu spent his best two weeks at their place with lots of walks, treats, and even baths when needed. They asked many questions before hand to get to know Tofu and arranged a visit as well. It was such a relief for us during our international trip where we had no access to text messages and major social media. However, Linda still offered to contact us via WhatsApp in order to send daily updates.”
“This was Chloe's first time away for a long trip and we couldn't be happier that we booked her stay with Gary and Carol! We appreciated the ease of drop-off and pick-up and the quick response time while we were away. Gary was so kind and flexible with my booking mistake on the pick-up day, which we greatly appreciated!! Chloe was nervous at drop-off but seemed to settle in quickly and have a great time. I appreciated the photos of Chloe while we were gone. Thank you and we will be happy to book again in the future!”

“The people in this home made Mabel feel welcomed and loved. How do I know? All of the pictures and updates Christine sent me! I was able to work out of town without worrying about my girl, Mabes.
