“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.”
“Finn stayed with Carolyn for two weeks. He had such a good time that I wasn't sure he'd want to come home with me. From playing fetch outside to playing with a variety of squeaky toys, to tons of snuggles and attention, Carolyn did it all! She was in contact daily with pics and videos. I never worried for a second about how Finn was doing. She responded quickly to text messages and was a great communicator. I told her that she could spoil Finn all she wanted, and she did! But that's exactly what I want for my best buddy when I have to leave him! Thanks, Carolyn, for taking such great care of Finn! He'll be back!”
“Allison and her husband are so freaking AWESOME! Yenn had a blast with her and their two dogs. I received daily pictures and updates, and it's obvious these are people who love dogs. Yenn was thoroughly tired but happy upon her return. Allison is great with communication and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Brianna was incredible and Edwin had a blast. We were initially a little worried because of her fairly large (although playful and VERY friendly dogs), but our tiny senior settled right in like it was home.”
“Steve is GREAT! Murphy was welcomed into the pack and played hard and was safe. Murphy can have some anxiety in new siuations and with new humans and pets. Steve allowed Murphy to adjust comfortably in his home with patience and love. My Muffin Man came home tired and happy! I'm so thankful and grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter for Murphy for when I need to get away and 'Adult'. Thank you, Steve! I appreciate you more than you know! Murphy Hug to you,”
“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!”
“Melissa is great with dogs! I could tell my dog trusted her right away and was wagging her tail as I left. Melissa kept me up to date and was really helpful in modifying the stay when my schedule changed. You can tell Melissa cares about dogs and makes sure they are well cared for.”
“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!”
“Mary's daughter, Sydney, stayed with our elderly dog and cats while we were on vacation. Both Mary and Sydney responded in a timely manner and everything seemed to go well :-)”
“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!!”
“Great care of our active dog. She loved her evening cuddle times and sharing a people bed after a fun day of playing with new doggie friends. As a dog mom, I appreciated the timely updates and pics. Jared was considerate of my concerns of how our dog was adapting to the new temporary home.”
“KC and her family watched over one of our dogs, Penny, for over a week. I cannot express how thankful we are to have found KC. She took in our dog as if she was one of their own. Penny went on many walks, had adventures in the backyard, and bonded with one of KC's children. When we went to pick Penny up from what turned out to be HER personal vacation, I noticed how engaged Penny was with what was going on around her. Even though she was excited to see us, I could tell how happy she was being in KC's home. I honestly think Penny exhibited some heartache for a few days afterward. We will need to book with KC again just for Penny's sake! Your pets are definitely in good hands with KC.”
“Jennifer is a great communicator! I felt such at ease leaving my dog in her care. He was a happy boy when I picked him up and I loved the photos I received when she took him on walks. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Linda and Bob were able to care for our sweet pup on short notice. As mentioned before, dogs are kept in personal enclosure in separate garage/office. It is extremely clean and they take dogs out often to personal play yard. Our dog looked happy and was clearly enjoying himself in every picture we received. We will definitely use Linda and Bob again!”
“Debbie is truly a gem! She took incredible care of our dog Koda while we were away. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Debbie sent tons of adorable photo updates that showed Koda going on long walks, getting plenty of playtime, and soaking up so much love. It was clear she treated him like one of her own. Koda also made a new best friend—her sweet black lab, Sammy—which made his stay even more special. When I picked him up, he was so happy and relaxed, and I could tell he had the absolute best time. I will definitely be booking with Debbie again. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“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!”

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: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was about 4, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. With 35+ years of experience, I’m comfortable with cats of all breeds and personalities. My calm demeanor helps your cat feel at ease. I’m happy to play, check in, or just keep your pet company and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and always focus on keeping them happy and well cared for.
“Annemarie was wonderful. She went above and beyond for us. She dealt with an unanticipated invasion of tiny ants as well as caring for our reclusive kitty. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have been a cat owner in the past, and have done a lot of cat sitting over the years. I have given oral and injected medications and hunted cats out from under the bed. I am a very meticulous litter box scooper, and really take pride in this!
About: All of my cats are rescues so they are extra extra special. Cats are the most loving creatures and often misunderstood. I am a pro litter scooper and medicine administrator as well. 2 of my babies are outdoor and 2 are indoor. I exclusively chose cat sitting because I miss my babies while I am away. I will take care of your baby like my own. <3
“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 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.
“Theresa always welcomes my two kitties and makes great effort to make them feel at home. She's been terrific to work with and it's great to have found her to know we have a reliable person to watch the boys.”
“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.”
“Shelby did a great job housesitting for us while we were away on an extended trip. She took great care of our cat and left our house clean, organized, and just as we'd left it. She checked in with us often to provide updates, as well. Thanks so much for your services, Shelby!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs big and small since I was little. Friends and family have relied on me to walk feed and stay in home with their pets. I’m currently a casual Longshormen, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available weekdays anytime and weekends if needed. I have a big yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate or play pen your dog if needed!
About: Ive always loved cats, my first car was Lena. I cleaned her litter box since the age of 7. I also lived on a farm with tons of feral cats at one point. I was always out with them making sure they had food and water because my parents wouldn't let me bring them inside.
“Sara was once again just amazing! 12 hour days without a potty break is just plain mean, so we got Sara to break up the day. While I was out of town and my wife worked those 12hr days, Sara came up for 30 minutes each day and let them out and played with them (though she sometimes stayed for an hour letting the dogs have fun in the yard), even brought her little one for a doggie date! Couldn't be more happy with her! We'll be in touch again Sara! Thanks for your great care of our family!!!”
“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!”

“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!”
“Allison is awesome!! Our dog Roxy has a bit of separation anxiety when left home alone so we didn’t know how well she would do at a sitter. Thanks to Allison and her awesome dog skills Roxy did amazing and she can’t wait to go back for more play dates with her friends! Allison sent updates on how Roxy was doing and that was helpful. Now I have no worries at all of leaving Roxy with Allison.”
“Jennifer was amazing! She was so kind and patient with our 4-month-old puppy, Caboose. She has a fully fenced yard and two adorable dogs who kept him entertained all day. Jennifer kept us updated throughout the day, which we loved. Our puppy had a few potty accidents, and she was incredibly understanding about it. We’re so grateful she cared for Caboose like he was her own. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“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!”
“Araceli was so great with Rocky… she kept me posted on how he was doing and sent me the cutest video and pic of my lil guy… it is so great to be able to be at work and not have to worry about how Rocky is doing. I would highly recommend Araceli for watching your furry baby. Araceli thank you for putting my worries at ease…”
“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!!”
“Dana and Mark were a real lifesaver today. With very little notice the were able to watch my little buddy when I got stuck in Denver. Always keep me apprised of how Jack is doing. I really appreciate their professionalism and care for my Jack.”
“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! :)”
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.
“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!”
About: Hello Rover friends! I am a stay at home mom and would love to help sit your pets in our home. I have an open schedule and a big yard! 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.
“Can I give 6 stars??? Dominique takes such great care of my Beagle while I'm in the office. He loves her so much he starts whining to be let out when we pull in the driveway. 😂 She sends photos and updates throughout the day, is very flexible on his care needs. I think the most important thing is that I can focus on priorities during the day and not worry over Watson's happiness and safety. I know he's having fun playing with Poppy and friends!”
“I can tell that my dog enjoyed his day with Tanaisa and her dog Loki. He walked right into the gate when I dropped him off for his second day. He got plenty of walks and socialization. I will definitely book with her again, even though it’s a total of 40 minutes detour for me, it’s worth it because Tanaisa took great care of Dante.”
“Elaine is pure gold. My doggo, who has massive separation anxiety, is thrilled when we roll up to her door. That would. W enough for a 5* rating! And then, she’s also super flexible with scheduling and timing! Win win win. TLDR; Elaine rocks, trust her with yer pup!”

About: I have had dogs for my entire life! I currently have 2 dogs. Both are Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Trinity is our senior girl 13 yrs old, and Shira who is 2. I have had the most experience with big dogs (mainly German Shepherds and now Rhodesian Ridgebacks). I have done Schutzhund with my shepherds and have done dog shows and obedience shows locally with my Ridgebacks. Our dogs and the ones I take care of are always my priority. I treat all dogs like they are mine so they get all the love, snuggles, and attention they want. I have a safe and secure home and yard. We have a 3/4 acre completely fenced back yard fenced to 6 feet high. We are in the country and have lots of bunnies for them to chase. We also have a creek on our property that in good weather would be fun for the dogs to play in. I have some agility equipment that I will break out when the weather is nice and let dogs go through those or show them how. For rainy days we have toys and dog puzzles to keep their minds active. We also have a shop that I can put up agility equipment when the weather is lousy and cold so they can chase each other around in there if they are getting antsy. I also do daily obedience with my own dog and any other dog that is with me and wants to join in. While most of my experience has been with big dogs, I will work with any style and breed of dog after I meet them and we get to know each other. I also have experience working with packs of dogs, as at one time, I had a large pack of both German Shepherds, and then Ridgebacks. I also have a lot of experience working with puppies and can help with basic training. I seem to have a knack to help dogs who normally don’t eat or are very nervous when being left with someone else. I have had many boarders who’s moms and dads said were picky eaters or wouldn’t eat for a couple of days and somehow with me they eat well, don’t miss meals, and many times expand their diets. If you have a dog that takes medication I can, and have, administered meds that their parents bring. But I will only administer prescription meds written by a licensed veterinarian to the specific dog with explicit instructions. Bottom line, I don’t just “board” dogs. They are part of the family and treated as such until you get back. They Are talked to, interacted with by my dogs and myself and my husband all day long. They aren’t just put in a room or left outside to fend for themselves. They are truly being loved and cared for from the minute they are dropped off until the minute you pick them up. My husband and I are retired so I am full time at home now. So I can board 7 days a week. And overnight care at my house will be my specialty as you never have to worry about your dog being left for hours during the day or night. I have a very “dog friendly” home. That being said my house is clean and fairly tidy. I clean daily to make sure the dogs are in the best environment. My goal is to have your dog go home with you better than when they came. If they are full of mud from playing outside in the rain they will be washed and dried before they go home. If their nails are too long I will cut them (if the dog allows). If they need to be brushed, I will brush them and often give them a massage…this is especially good for the nervous dogs. If they are scared and feel nervous they will be returned happy and calm from being pampered while you were away. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture including our bed and can play inside or outside with my dogs who are very friendly to other dogs and people. I don’t crate any of my dogs and don’t require dogs that stay with me to be crated during the day or night. If you prefer your dog to be crated at night I will follow your instructions if you bring the crate that they are used to. Many of the dogs that I board sleep in our bed but they also have very plush beds throughout our home that they can sleep on overnight or during the day for naps. Wherever they feel more comfortable sleeping is fine with me even if they don’t want to be in our room with us and our dogs.
“Our doggie loves his walks with Sarah! He recognizes her car, and actually watches for her when he thinks the time is right. She's punctual and friendly, and an obvious dog lover.”

About: For 15 years I ran a successful dog walking business outside of Boston, and have now returned to the northwest to help my mother age in place. I'm missing my animal friends, and am ready to help with yours! I'm experienced and mature, conscientious, reliable and careful, with the same high expectations for myself that you have. I understand the importance of good relationships with anyone you bring into your pet's life - both for your pet and for you - and building relationships and community is what I most loved about my dog walking business.

Since the season is starting to slow my schedule is opening up! I have Saturdays to Wednesdays open, with availability in the evenings after 5pm on Thursday and Fridays. I am flexible!

I have alot of flexiblity and room for us to be able to set things up so everyone is happy!

About: Hello! My name is Jeaneth. I had a love for animals since I was very young thanks to my oldest sister. I’m currently a dog groomer looking to help other dog parents through dog sitting and walking as well. Being around animals is very rewarding and calming. This is great way to be around animals. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. I’m a full time dog groomer with the need for a little more income for my human babies. I have the experience and passion for my fur babies as well. I would prefer to take care of clients’ pets at their house because my children are young and I have a very hyper dog. Their house will feel more comfortable to many fur babies. I do know how to make many pets feel comfortable and supportive.
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.

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and exotic pets me whole life! I absolutely adore animals and enjoy spending time with them. I’ve had big and little dogs, cats, lizards, fish . And would love to take care of your family members as I would my own! I’m currently shifting to an opening schedule but it is a bit crazy, depending on distance from my work I can let out during my lunches as well. I do tend to stay at the house I’m sitting at so the pet doesn’t feel alone I won’t be able to bring pets to my home as unfortunately my dog is reactive. So I will not offer bording. But am more than happy to meet your pet in your home! I usually will ask for a favorite treat or snack for the pet and pick it up as a peace offering. I enjoy playtime and snuggles with all types of pets
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: I bring a personalized touch to every dog-sitting gig! I have experience with everything from energetic puppies needing training to senior dogs requiring extra care and patience. I also have experience working with reactive or anxious dogs and understand that their behavior stems from fear or insecurity. My focus is on creating a safe and calm environment where the dog feels secure. I use positive reinforcement methods, like treats and praise, to build trust and help them feel more comfortable. I'm skilled in positive reinforcement techniques, so I can help with basic obedience. Plus, I'm super attentive to the unique needs of older dogs, managing medications, and ensuring their comfort. Most importantly, I focus on building a strong bond with each dog, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy. I'm all about creating a positive, enriching experience for every pet. I took a gap year after I graduated to save money for a higher education. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine because I prioritize consistency and reliability. I make sure to set aside dedicated time each day for feeding, play, and any special care like medication or cleaning. On a weekly basis, I also schedule deeper cleaning tasks, like thorough litter box maintenance or extra play sessions, to keep pets happy and healthy. This routine helps me stay organized and ensures that every pet gets the attention and care they need without any stress or rush. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment.I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, especially regarding feeding, medications, and any special needs. Building trust is key, so I approach pets gently and patiently, allowing them to feel secure and relaxed. I also maintain cleanliness and monitor their behavior closely to quickly address any signs of stress or health issues. This way, pets feel cared for and protected, while they’re in their familiar surroundings.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I got my first personal dog at 14 as a puppy and trained him everything he knows. He is my best friend. Friends, family, and neighbors have all relied on me to care for their pets. I can administer medications, clean up messes, and be your pets best friend while you're away. I'm not afraid of hard work or challenging situations. My attention to detail and a strong commitment to keeping pets happy and healthy truly makes a difference. Plus, I provide regular updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away! I am currently working a flexible part time job but I will have plenty of time to check in and meet all your pets needs. I always make sure that pets have access to fresh water and a balanced diet. This includes feeding them at regular intervals and providing appropriate portions based on their size and dietary needs. Regular physical activity is crucial. I take dogs for walks, play with them in the yard, and provide toys to keep them active. I spend quality time with the pets, providing them with affection and attention. Pets thrive on interaction, and bonding with them is important for their emotional health.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet sitter who understands that every dog has unique needs, energy levels, and routines, and I take that seriously. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs since my teens, with experience across small and large breeds, senior dogs, and pets who require medication. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with more complex needs, including epilepsy, and I prioritize calm, attentive handling to keep them safe and supported. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dogs, I focus on structured, engaging care that helps them feel balanced and happy while you’re away, whether its walks tailored to their energy level, mental enrichment and engagement during visits, consistent routines to support behavior, or lots of affection and attention. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so I’m happy to include longer walks, hikes, or more engaging outings if that’s something your dog enjoys. I can also do dog park visits if requested. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable, consistent care throughout the day. I can also send regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel completely at ease. I treat every pet like my own (I have 3 dogs!), with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. I’d love to connect and see if I'd be a good fit for you and your pet! *Starting June 2026, I will not be taking any clients who need me to sleep overnight at their home. I am able to house sit any time during the day and stay with your pet as long or as little as needed, however, if you need me more than one day at a time, I will leave your place at night and return in the morning.* I work from home, so I am willing and able to give your pet the attention it needs. I am used to taking care of pets so the routine comes easy for me. My work schedule is fairly flexible as well, making it easy for me to adapt to whatever schedule you may need for your pet. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent experience for every pet. In your home, I follow all care instructions closely, so your pet stays comfortable and on their normal schedule. I stay aware on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and adjust care based on your dog’s energy level, temperament, and any medical needs. I also keep your home clean and secure so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Allison and her husband are so freaking AWESOME! Yenn had a blast with her and their two dogs. I received daily pictures and updates, and it's obvious these are people who love dogs. Yenn was thoroughly tired but happy upon her return. Allison is great with communication and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Brianna was incredible and Edwin had a blast. We were initially a little worried because of her fairly large (although playful and VERY friendly dogs), but our tiny senior settled right in like it was home.”
“Steve is GREAT! Murphy was welcomed into the pack and played hard and was safe. Murphy can have some anxiety in new siuations and with new humans and pets. Steve allowed Murphy to adjust comfortably in his home with patience and love. My Muffin Man came home tired and happy! I'm so thankful and grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter for Murphy for when I need to get away and 'Adult'. Thank you, Steve! I appreciate you more than you know! Murphy Hug to you,”

“Linda and Bob were able to care for our sweet pup on short notice. As mentioned before, dogs are kept in personal enclosure in separate garage/office. It is extremely clean and they take dogs out often to personal play yard. Our dog looked happy and was clearly enjoying himself in every picture we received. We will definitely use Linda and Bob again!”
“Debbie is truly a gem! She took incredible care of our dog Koda while we were away. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Debbie sent tons of adorable photo updates that showed Koda going on long walks, getting plenty of playtime, and soaking up so much love. It was clear she treated him like one of her own. Koda also made a new best friend—her sweet black lab, Sammy—which made his stay even more special. When I picked him up, he was so happy and relaxed, and I could tell he had the absolute best time. I will definitely be booking with Debbie again. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“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.”
“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 💜”
