“Highly recommend! Thank you Brandi for stepping in last minute and saving the day by watching our two pooches. Your willingness to help really was a life saver considering our last minute dog dental emergency. We also appreciated the photos and constant updates which gave us peace of mind while away. And to top it off, Marty warmed up to you. Now that’s a compliment! Thank you again!!”
“Courtney (and her family) did such a wonderful job watching our dogs while my husband and I were away on vacation. She sent photographs of the dogs every night and gave an update on their day. She was very attentive to their needs. Highly recommend! We'll definitely be coming back to her for future sitting jobs ?”
“She was so great with him. We explained that we’re students and she was so kind and willing to work with our budget which we really appreciated!! She sent us a few updates and said everything went well and Chewy was doing great! Some people may want more frequent updates, but personally we appreciated that she wasn’t sending us a million pictures every day lol. It was the right amount of updates to know he was ok while still enjoying our vacation when we couldn’t be on our phones all that much. Also, she even offered to pick him up and drop him off which made things so much easier for us with all the packing and crazy travel. Definitely recommend her and hope to book with her again the next time we go out of town!”
“Super nice people, their love for animals really shows. They took such great care of my boy and were super flexible and accommodating to our needs. So much space for the dogs to run and play! 1000% recommend”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. I have cared for a blind senior cat as well as a cat with hip problems, which required patience, close monitoring, and adapting the environment to keep them safe and comfortable. I currently help care for my friend’s senior dog, who also has hip and dental issues, so I’m familiar with administering gentle support, maintaining comfort, and being attentive to mobility limitations and pain cues. In addition, I have experience caring for younger animals, including kittens and puppies around 12 weeks old. This has given me practice with high-energy care, feeding routines, supervision, and basic early-life behavior management. Overall, I’m comfortable working with both senior pets and young animals, and I adjust my care style based on each pet’s specific health, energy level, and personality needs. Pet care fits into my routine pretty easily because I currently have a part-time job with a very variable schedule. Since my shifts change from week to week, I’m generally flexible and available most days with some notice. This flexibility allows me to adjust around pet care responsibilities like feeding, walks, check-ins, or overnight stays when needed. I’m also used to planning my time in a way that ensures animals are consistently cared for, even on busier days, so I can reliably fit pet care into my weekly schedule. In my home, I would make sure any pet is cared for in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. While my apartment doesn’t have a backyard, there is a fenced-in area nearby where dogs can run, play fetch, and get exercise. I also have a car, so if the owner is comfortable with it, I can take the dogs to a dog park for additional enrichment and activity. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions are followed closely. I’m also very mindful of respecting the home itself. I was raised to always leave a place cleaner than I found it, so I make sure everything is kept tidy, organized, and exactly as I found it. Communication is also important to me, so I always update owners and let them know right away if anything seems off or if there are any concerns about their pet’s health, behavior, or well-being.
“This is the 2nd time we’ve had Melissa watch our dog. Both times, we received pictures and updates, and our pup seemed very happy and well taken care of. We’d definitely recommend Melissa, and she is our go-to Rover sitter in the future.”
“Amany was amazing with our scared of everything special needs dog! We are so happy to finally find someone that takes such good care of Fritz! We will definitely have Amany watch him again!”
“Super happy with how our pup was treated! Wendy (Alice) did a fantastic job taking care of Minima, taking her for walks, and keeping in contact while we were away. She knows what she is doing!”
“Leaving our dog with Mikayla was incredibly successful! He’s a Labrador and very attached to people. He really needed a family that was available to give him lots of time and attention. Mikayla was great about sending us updates and we do much appreciate Mikayla and her family! Overall, a tremendous experience!”
“Stephanie is great with both of my little Pomeranians! Her and her family love on the dogs and they love going to her! She’s always responsive and sends me videos and pictures! I’ve come to depend on her anytime I need to go out of town without the dogs! I highly recommend her!”
About: I have seen and taken care of many different pets. I have a lot of energy and will show your pet the attention it deserves. I have been around many cats and dogs and have had birds in the past and currently have a dwarf gerbil. I am a 21 year old student at the University of Idaho. I have had all sorts of pets and really just enjoy the happiness they bring me. I have a part time job and school but am still pretty flexible. I am very detail oriented and like to think I am pretty responsible. I love pets so I would never want anything bad to happen to one of my pets or anyone else's.
“Ashley did an absolutely fabulous job taking care of my sweet corgi girl nala while I was on vacation! It was my first time leaving her at someone else’s house for that long & ashley made me feel so comfortable with the process & I knew my sweetie would be taken care of to the fullest! She sent pics & chatted with me every day thru out the week & checked in with me on any changes ahead of time. 10000% recommend her & her boarding services, dog walking, etc.!!!!”
About: Hi, I’m Brian! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had dogs and cats around the house, and it’s a tradition I’ve proudly continued into adulthood. Sadly, both of my beloved pugs passed away over the last few years. Right now, it's just me and my cat, Vader, so I would absolutely love to welcome a canine (or another feline) presence back into my home! I work at WSU and live a quiet, peaceful life here in Colfax. Because my home is a kid-free environment and I spend a lot of my time here, your pet will get plenty of focused attention, companionship, and love. I understand how hard it is to leave your pets, so I am committed to treating yours like family - providing a safe, comfortable, and fun home away from home. I’d love to chat and see if I’m the perfect fit for your pet! I work at WSU so it's a short commute each day, allowing me to spend more time at home. My weekday evenings are pretty quiet. I sometimes go out on the weekends but would be quite happy staying home if there is pet-sitting to do. I have a large fenced yard. I have a large linoleum dining and kitchen area that can easily be blocked off where messes are easy to clean up. I'm totally fine sharing my bed and furniture with a pet. It's a quiet, kid-free house well suited for even the most nervous dogs.
About: My top priorities are keeping your pets safe, happy, and healthy! I have experience with all different types of dog breeds, sizes, and ages. I’ll do my best to make any needed accommodations. I have a relatively flexible schedule. My availability differs from week to week. Due to a tendon injury in my wrist, I’m taking some time off work. The injury doesn’t interfere with my ability to care for your pets. I will follow all instructions and adhere to your boundaries. I will treat your space with respect. You know your pet and home best. I hope to offer you the peace of mind knowing that your pet is being cared for and your privacy is being respected.
“Lily was fantastic with my small Pomeranian mix! Ember is a bit nervous around new people, but immediately took to Lily and they had a great time together with lots of attention and walks. Communication was great too... I highly recommend Lily! ☺️”
“Hannah was amazing! She took great care of our boy Cyrus. She was very good at communicating and sending pictures when we asked for updates. We felt very comfortable leaving our baby with her and we will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: My family has always loved animals so its basically a zoo at my mom’s house: 2 german shepherds, 2 snakes, and 5 rats. I love and adore all sorts of animals and would love to meet yours! I’m an undergraduate student at UI, I have a 1 year old kitten that is basically my son, he is so loved and I want to help YOU take care of your pet for the best and most loving life possible for your pet. Hello! I currently work full time at a child care center. I work from 8:30-5, 5 days a week. Unfortunately I’m unable to do drop in visits or dog walking during those hours but i’m totally willing to do either before or after my shift! Thank you for understanding🩷 I ensure that my kitty is never bored so I have frequent play sessions along with plenty of exercise in the apartment I live in. When I’m dog sitting I try to burn all that extra energy by long walks and enrichment toys or treats. Whatever your pet needs is my mission!
About: What can I say, people are crazy but animals just make sense 😂 I've grown up with cats since I was an infant, they're truly the prefect animal, can't change my mind! I also have experience with dogs, some reptiles, assorted rodents including guinea pigs, and fish. Outside of that, I'm a fast learner, not afraid of much, and capable of following instructions. I'd love to meet your fur baby! I work full time, so we will just need to talk and figure out schedules. I can usually make it work. I have a reliable car I have a lot of yard space, most of it not fenced unfortunately but I have multiple runners. I have a 3 bedroom apartment in the bottom of a full sized house, so it's spacious and stays cool in the summer. I have a kennel but use it sparingly. My own dogs get taken to one of several parks every morning to run off energy, as well as car rides and walks around the neighborhood. They live their rams horn filled with yogurt or peanut butter and frozen, for their inside time! I try to keep things stimulating As for care in your home, you tell me! I'll adapt to your needs as best I can :)

“Danielle was very attentive with my rabbit and provided excellent care. I was very pleased that she seemed respectful of my rabbit's territorial behaviors. She was reliable, thorough, and took the best pictures!”
“This was my second time booking with Hera and she was just as great as the first time! Super communicative and helpful. Our cats love her and she does a wonderful job. Highly recommend booking with her :)”
“Jessica was great! It was a real relief for me that my cat was so well taken care of while I was away. She was also great at communication and keeping me in the loop. It was the first time I left my cat alone for so long, but I could tell he was happy and healthy when I got back.”
“Morgan was great taking care of my two cats while I was out of the country. I loved the notes she left in the app and the photos sent easing my mind. I have absolutely no complaints! Would rebook for my next vacation!”
“Corra did wonderfully with my two babies! She was very professional, kind, loving, and caring. I loved receiving notifications and photos of each visit. I was happy that my older cat, Agustin, who is more nervous, loved Corra and her energy from the first moment. It's clear that she loves animals, and I can't recommend her enough!”
“Mark does an amazing job caring for our sweet cat. He also gets our mail and waters our house plants and out door plants. Anything you need done, Mark is happy to help. Strongly recommend Mark for your pet care needs”
“Best sitter for my two cats! Kaelyn did a great job communicating, keeping us updated, was very kind, and while we had a bit of a process for her regarding our cats, she did a great job following directions and taking care of everything. Would love to hire her again :)”
“Peyton was just awesome with our 2 cats! The one that is really hesitant around people took a real shine to her. She did everything awesome and we were so glad to have her watch our boys”
“Sara is AMAZING! She took care of my 3 cats for 10 days and did more than expected. She was prompt with stopping by everyday after her classes to feed and check on the cats. She spent time each evening giving them snuggles and pets. Cleaned their bowls and litter box and sent me photos everyday. I felt very comfortable knowing they were well cared for while I was gone and by the photos it looked my cats were very happy too 😊 She is a vet student at WSU so I also knew that if any of cats were sick, she would take good care of them and get them any needed medical attention. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Steffanie was awesome watching our two cats. She took tons of pictures and made our cats feel loved. She went above and beyond by putting ointment on our cats ear and taking care of our home. Overall, Steffanie is amazing and I would have her look after our cats again!”
About: I’ve had years of experience since I was young taking care of stray cats (adults to kittens), and I have two cats of my own. I’m well versed in cleaning litter boxes, fountains, etc, and I have a lot of experience with wary cats that take awhile to warm up!
“Jessica was great. She stopped by just like we asked, and even went the extra mile to play with out more sociable fur babies. She made sure to get pictures of them as well so we didn't worry too much. I would definitely hire her again!”
“I was very worried about getting Piper a sitter while we were on vacation with all her medications and her age. Apryl did an amazing job and was so detailed and considerate the entire time; she loves animals and we fell in love with how well she interacted with our kitty. I trust her with Piper. She does such a good job with the Rover cards and makes sure to show you and let you know how your animal is doing, what they did that day, how they did when she visited, and if they have an issues or may need extra support. I have a very hard time trusting other people with my Piper, especially with her progressing age and illnesses, and Apryl earned that trust. I will continue to support her and would highly recommend her, especially if you're worried for your older pets or pets that require extra medication/supplement care!”
“Arsen did a great job with my cat while I was away for 3 weeks! Arsen left my place in the same condition they found it. Arsen noticed a need to care for my cat when an accidental gap in care occurred based off a mistake in my booking request and just took care of it, even though I was busy traveling and unaware. Im grateful!”

“Brandi did great with Zion! I needed someone to watch my dog while I was at work and he is very anxious around new people and in new places and he was so happy with Brandi and her dogs!”
About: My experience with dogs has ranged from personal ownership: (raised with two mixed breeds, and owned a WHIPPET for fourteen years), to boarding dogs, to working at a doggie daycare, and working for a dog walking company. Currently I am a stay at home mom to three kids- so I am home most of the time, including weekends. If I do step out, for errands, appointments, and such, I will absolutely make sure your pet has had enough walks/potty breaks. We have a fenced yard, and a great neighborhood for walking. My family, and I will work consistently to make sure your pooch feels comfortable, and loved. That said, for safety reasons I choose not to share photos of my kids on my profile page- regardless, they are great with dogs! My time is flexible in that I can work around my families schedule to provide boarding for your pet(s). We look forward to meeting you/them! I can provide care for your dog(s), by following the schedule you have set for them. I love walking, and playing fetch with dogs! My kids especially love helping out with fetch. 😊 Pet care works easily with my daily, and weekly schedule, because I am a stay at home mom, and therefore home most of the time. In my home pets will be taken care of first and foremost with lots of love, (pets/snuggles). Secondly, pets will be taken care of by administering their daily needs of food, water, snacks, (if they have any), and meds, (if they have any).
About: I had a Pharaoh hound growing up for 15 years and lost her to cancer 4 years ago. I love going on walks, and I'm looking for some new companions to join me!

I also have 7 years of experience as a house and pet sitter and about 100 hours of volunteer work at the Spokanimals shelter. My schedule is wide open for the summer while I'm in town! Just reach out and let me know, any day, any time, and I will be there! I will respect the rules you have in place for your pet at your home and at mine. I will take the pups on walks at least once a day and let them go outside to potty every hour or as needed. I am happy to brush hair if you supply the tools. I promise to keep your puppy happy to the best of my abilities!
About: I’ve taken care of a good amount of breeds from huskies to chihuahuas. I have loved every single one that it melts my heart every time i see them. I have a dog of my own and she’s a sassy silly lazy girl. I enjoy cuddling with dogs and just having fun with them. Going on walks, playing with toys, watching a movie and going through a roller coaster of emotions, i can do a lot with dogs! i can also ensure that i will provide as much goofy photos of possible if wanted (i will be taking because its funny and brings up the vibes) I work super early so I’m available for majority of the day. I’ll leave at the crack of the morning and come back in the morning still! i’m able to take all dogs out for a potty break in between work as well and just give them attention if that’s all they need! I treat my pets like my fur babies. they are my children so i talk to them as if i have teenage kids going through their moody phase. with other people’s dogs i can present my self calmly or energized depending on what they need. i love including them in everything if they want. like if they want to help me fold laundry, cook, clean, or just watch a movie then we are all doing it as a group.
“Mango was awesome! She was able to accept my dog at such kate notice and then was very flexible when we had to pick him up later than expected. He was very happy when he got home and she even brought him a big treat! Would highly recommend Mango!”
“Ayca was a wonderful dog sitter for our little poodle. Her calm demeanor was perfect for Molly and when we returned we could tell she had been in good hands. Thanks again for your kindness to our dog!”
“Whitney and her dogs welcomed my pup and helped her settle in, even though she was nervous at first. She also kept an eye out to make sure everything stayed safe, since the pup was just getting acclimated to being around small children. I really appreciated this help getting the dog socialized, since I very much want her to be a 100% kid-friendly dog as she grows up! Thank you!!”
“Good person. She will take care of your dog. She’s a reliable person, friendly and caring for your dog. Your dog will have it best time time there. My dog really enjoy herself over there. There were a lot of pic taken and updates about what your dog was doing. If you in the area of Kent Wa.good person to watch your dog she's the one ?”

About: I've provided pet care for clients, friends and family my whole life. I love adventuring with my dogs ie walks, hikes, going to the beach. I use positive training and discipline techniques. I've taken dog training classes. I've cared for dogs of all ages and breeds. I love adding to my pack! I've a lot of availability! I have summers off and am often out enjoying the outdoors with my dog. I'd love to add to my pack! I have a large yard (unfenced). I keep new dogs on leash when outside. Lots of supervision and engagement. I do enjoy off leash play, but on case by case basis.
“Just a fantastic experience! Was in town for a day for a conference & had to check out of my dog friendly hotel that morning, so needed doggie daycare. Rosalie was responsive, professional, attentive & provided a great space for Dalton very convenient to university campus, not to mention a friendly gentle dog of her own. Beautiful home, amazing (fenced in) yard. I really felt that Dalton was in great hands. Would highly recommend & would absolutely book again with Rosalie.”
About: I have my own pet, and I grew up on a farm. I have cared for animals for years and would love to spend my work home office with your pet! Any day or time of the week works for me. I work from home so I can fill my time up caring for your loved one I have a private room and toys for your furry friend and live in a pet friendly neighborhood. Walks on the beach, or cuddles on the couch are my speciality.

About: I’ve worked for dog breakers and have been a pet sitter dozens of times. I love spending time with animals and always treat them with the best care. I work 6am-2pm Monday-friday, but am able to take off work or get a substitute when needed. If you need someone watching your animal for 1-5 days, I can fit that in with my work schedule. I unfortunately live in an apartment, so taking the dog or cat will be hard, but I have no problem going to someone’s house to check/take care/watch your animal!
About: When I was 11 years old I started volunteering at the Idaho humane society every weekend. At 15 years my mother and I became a registered foster family for dogs and cats in need . I am a junior studying Interior architecture at the University of idaho. I am in Boise for summer break! I take this job very seriously and love to care for your sweet animals ! Hello my schedule is very flexible! My internship Is remote and in office! I work at a small design firm so they are very flexible . I will care for the pets by keeping there allergy’s in notes and keeping them away from things they cannot handle with on walks . I will make sure no food or choking hazards will ever be left out.
About: My husband and I have had our own dogs, cats, and other more exotic pets for decades and we love them dearly. When asked if we have children, we often state, "Yes we do! Some have fur and some do not!" While traveling, we know all too well what a hassle and expense it can to obtain care for pets who need to be left behind. It also can be a distressing thought to realize they will be in a small cage for most of the day if you leave them at a traditional kennel. We love providing a better option for you when it comes to pet care. We've often tended the animals of family and friends throughout the years, and now have over a year of Rover sitting under our belts as well - not to mention having had many dogs of our own all throughout our marriage. My husband and I are glad to be able to open our home to others while they are away so that good care for their dogs can be obtained at a reasonable price. We strive to give our boarded furry guests the same experience we would like our own animals to have when we travel. Brady works from home with a flexible schedule, and thus he can provide fairly constant supervision and potty breaks. We have a spacious & grassy fenced-in area which provides plentiful room for sun, fun, play, and exercise. Our home is large enough to accommodate many dogs without us nor your pet feeling cramped. Dogs that are able to be off-leash often accompany us throughout the day while we perform various outside tasks, giving them even more time to roam and explore. We can also take dogs walking on-leash if needs be on a road that runs through the forested area of our land. If your pooch enjoys swimming, we have a pond they can take a dip in during the hot summer months. We are able to administer oral and injected medication to your dog, and we have cared for several of our own elderly dogs over the decades who have needed daily insulin injections and other medications. We can accommodate dogs with special needs as well, and equip dogs that are prone to escaping with Airtags to aid with locating them if an incident were to occur. Finally, we are always happy to answer any questions, so please feel free to contact us regarding any special accommodations or needs your pet may have and we will try our best to provide it for them. We know there are many options out there when it comes to caring for your pets, so thank you for considering us for helping you with this very important task! Since my husband works from home, either he or myself are available for the animals nearly 24/7 with the exception being times we go into town for errands. We usually crate feed our own dogs twice a day. We feed our Rover guests at the same time, but we can adjust times if needed. Dogs in our home use a doggy door which opens to a large & grassy fenced-in area surrounding our house. We also frequently let dogs out through the doors if they’re unaccustomed or unable to use an automatic doggy door. Our dogs accompany us throughout the day as we perform various tasks and activities on our 150-acre spread, which gives them ample time to exercise and explore. Guest dogs that are able to be off-leash without fleeing are always brought along on these excursions as well. Even though our fenced yard is very spacious, dogs that cannot be off-leash are taken on a lead to wherever we are currently working and tied there to allow them a chance to walk about and have a change of scenery. We allow animals on our furniture (some even snuggle with us at night), and have many dog beds placed throughout the home. We do have large animal crates set up if your dog prefers to sleep in a private space. If your dogs love to socialize and play, we provide several of our own playmates for them. There is often at least another guest or two who can join in as well.

“He came to our first meeting with thoughtful questions about my dog's needs, energy level, and routine, which immediately told me he takes this seriously. My dog is very high energy, and he handles him like a pro every single time. What really sets him apart is how communicative he is! He sends tons of photos every visit and always keeps me in the loop. I never have to wonder how the walk went. He's also always on time, which matters more than people realize when you're counting on someone. I'd recommend him to anyone, but especially if you have a dog that needs more than just a quick lap around the block.”
“Noah was able to help me out last minute with my two dogs. He was on time for the walk, and sent me a report card after to let me know how my dogs did. I know he must be patient, because my dogs are not the best outside walkers!”

About: I had my own dog for 10 years before he passed. I occasionally foster for the Whitman county humane society so I have experience taking care of puppies and older dogs, as well as those who need medications. My availability is currently wide open and I would love to spend my time helping other people take care of their furry loved ones! I also have experience with different forms of leashes (i.e. gentle leaders, harnesses, etc.). I understand the importance of repetition for dogs and will do my best to keep to your schedules and the way you do things. Please let me know how I can help you and your pet! :) I am currently in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is wide open for the time being but will keep my calendar updated I live in a smaller apartment so it would be best for only dog at my place at a time. Will follow any rules in place for time spent at the client’s home.
About: I have had both dogs and cats in my home my whole life. I am currently a WSU Pre-Vet student. My world revolves around my pets, and I will make sure your pets feel the same. I attend classes at Washington State University but still have plenty of time for walks and snuggles. I am available for longer stays on the weekends or during the week if an overnight stay is okay. I always monitor my dogs while they are outside because I do not have a fenced yard. Neither of my dog's sleep in crates, but I am more than willing to enforce that if needed.
About: I really love dogs, have one of my own, and will always have at least one dog. As far as cats go, I grew up with one, and even though I don't have one now, I really care for these guys. I work mostly from home, doing business that is based on product reviews. It's the type of work where I am very flexible, so I can step out from time to time to take care of pets. I don't think I should have another pet in my home as my dog doesn't get along with other dogs, but I have recent experience taking care of pets in people's houses.
“I booked Morgan to help with my dogs post surgery. I was unable to walk without crutches. She walked them daily and did little things here and there that were probably no big deal to her but meant a lot for me! She was kind and easy to work with and my dogs absolutely love her!!”
“Hera was wonderful. Maggie-Roo had a great time on her walks. It's so great when one may attend an event confident that one's dog is receiving great and loving care. Thank you. Highly recommended.”
About: I had a dog when I was a teenager and now that I have moved out I have a cat as well named Horchata. I also have experience taking care of rabbits and guinea pigs. Message me for my rabbit/guinea pig rate! Many family members rely on my expertise to watch their fur babies :) I am the Carmelita Spencer Foods Lab manager on campus which is a part time position and going to school full time but would really love to do something I’m passionate about on my off time like working with animals. My availability is open to anytime I am not at work. I am good at getting animals to listen and calm down if need be. I believe that animals are very in tune with tone and that is the main way they know if what they are doing is good or bad.
About: U of I student with flexible availability. I love to walk dogs, throw the ball, play tug of war. I have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes and temperaments. Flexible availability. I have at least a couple hours of availability every day, if not more. Just reach out and we can figure out a schedule that works for you. I will do everything I can to ensure your dog or cat is healthy, happy and safe. I strive to maintain a high level of accountability, transparency and respect.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. I have cared for a blind senior cat as well as a cat with hip problems, which required patience, close monitoring, and adapting the environment to keep them safe and comfortable. I currently help care for my friend’s senior dog, who also has hip and dental issues, so I’m familiar with administering gentle support, maintaining comfort, and being attentive to mobility limitations and pain cues. In addition, I have experience caring for younger animals, including kittens and puppies around 12 weeks old. This has given me practice with high-energy care, feeding routines, supervision, and basic early-life behavior management. Overall, I’m comfortable working with both senior pets and young animals, and I adjust my care style based on each pet’s specific health, energy level, and personality needs. Pet care fits into my routine pretty easily because I currently have a part-time job with a very variable schedule. Since my shifts change from week to week, I’m generally flexible and available most days with some notice. This flexibility allows me to adjust around pet care responsibilities like feeding, walks, check-ins, or overnight stays when needed. I’m also used to planning my time in a way that ensures animals are consistently cared for, even on busier days, so I can reliably fit pet care into my weekly schedule. In my home, I would make sure any pet is cared for in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. While my apartment doesn’t have a backyard, there is a fenced-in area nearby where dogs can run, play fetch, and get exercise. I also have a car, so if the owner is comfortable with it, I can take the dogs to a dog park for additional enrichment and activity. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions are followed closely. I’m also very mindful of respecting the home itself. I was raised to always leave a place cleaner than I found it, so I make sure everything is kept tidy, organized, and exactly as I found it. Communication is also important to me, so I always update owners and let them know right away if anything seems off or if there are any concerns about their pet’s health, behavior, or well-being.
“Allison has been walking my reactive pup, Bodi, for several weeks now. Because of Allison's gentle and calm demeanor, Bodi was comfortable with her right away. She has experience with reactive dogs and listened attentively to my specific instructions on how I manage Bodi's reactivity. She applies her experience, intuition and knowledge of dog body language to keep him under threshold. Allison is a treasure and I wish she could be Bodi's life-long dog walker!”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was young. Anything from guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs, cats, etc. My family has had a variety of dogs, so I have extensive experience in caring for dogs of all ages. I have taken care of senior dogs with special care required regarding seizures and numerous medications. I’ve also assisted in training for younger dogs for basic tricks and potty training. I’m currently a PhD student, so I’m on campus around half the week! Weekends are very open/flexible for me, and I’m also available in the mornings/mid-day/nights. I would generally keep pets separate from my own, aside from other cats. They’d have their own space to decompress, but they would still receive lots of love!

“Highly recommend! Thank you Brandi for stepping in last minute and saving the day by watching our two pooches. Your willingness to help really was a life saver considering our last minute dog dental emergency. We also appreciated the photos and constant updates which gave us peace of mind while away. And to top it off, Marty warmed up to you. Now that’s a compliment! Thank you again!!”
“Courtney (and her family) did such a wonderful job watching our dogs while my husband and I were away on vacation. She sent photographs of the dogs every night and gave an update on their day. She was very attentive to their needs. Highly recommend! We'll definitely be coming back to her for future sitting jobs ?”
“Super nice people, their love for animals really shows. They took such great care of my boy and were super flexible and accommodating to our needs. So much space for the dogs to run and play! 1000% recommend”

“This is the 2nd time we’ve had Melissa watch our dog. Both times, we received pictures and updates, and our pup seemed very happy and well taken care of. We’d definitely recommend Melissa, and she is our go-to Rover sitter in the future.”
“Amany was amazing with our scared of everything special needs dog! We are so happy to finally find someone that takes such good care of Fritz! We will definitely have Amany watch him again!”
“Leaving our dog with Mikayla was incredibly successful! He’s a Labrador and very attached to people. He really needed a family that was available to give him lots of time and attention. Mikayla was great about sending us updates and we do much appreciate Mikayla and her family! Overall, a tremendous experience!”
“Stephanie is great with both of my little Pomeranians! Her and her family love on the dogs and they love going to her! She’s always responsive and sends me videos and pictures! I’ve come to depend on her anytime I need to go out of town without the dogs! I highly recommend her!”

“Ashley did an absolutely fabulous job taking care of my sweet corgi girl nala while I was on vacation! It was my first time leaving her at someone else’s house for that long & ashley made me feel so comfortable with the process & I knew my sweetie would be taken care of to the fullest! She sent pics & chatted with me every day thru out the week & checked in with me on any changes ahead of time. 10000% recommend her & her boarding services, dog walking, etc.!!!!”
About: My top priorities are keeping your pets safe, happy, and healthy! I have experience with all different types of dog breeds, sizes, and ages. I’ll do my best to make any needed accommodations. I have a relatively flexible schedule. My availability differs from week to week. Due to a tendon injury in my wrist, I’m taking some time off work. The injury doesn’t interfere with my ability to care for your pets. I will follow all instructions and adhere to your boundaries. I will treat your space with respect. You know your pet and home best. I hope to offer you the peace of mind knowing that your pet is being cared for and your privacy is being respected.
“Lily was fantastic with my small Pomeranian mix! Ember is a bit nervous around new people, but immediately took to Lily and they had a great time together with lots of attention and walks. Communication was great too... I highly recommend Lily! ☺️”
“Hannah was amazing! She took great care of our boy Cyrus. She was very good at communicating and sending pictures when we asked for updates. We felt very comfortable leaving our baby with her and we will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: What can I say, people are crazy but animals just make sense 😂 I've grown up with cats since I was an infant, they're truly the prefect animal, can't change my mind! I also have experience with dogs, some reptiles, assorted rodents including guinea pigs, and fish. Outside of that, I'm a fast learner, not afraid of much, and capable of following instructions. I'd love to meet your fur baby! I work full time, so we will just need to talk and figure out schedules. I can usually make it work. I have a reliable car I have a lot of yard space, most of it not fenced unfortunately but I have multiple runners. I have a 3 bedroom apartment in the bottom of a full sized house, so it's spacious and stays cool in the summer. I have a kennel but use it sparingly. My own dogs get taken to one of several parks every morning to run off energy, as well as car rides and walks around the neighborhood. They live their rams horn filled with yogurt or peanut butter and frozen, for their inside time! I try to keep things stimulating As for care in your home, you tell me! I'll adapt to your needs as best I can :)
About: My family has lots of dogs ranging from 150 lbs to 7 lbs. I have taken care of them since I was 10 years old. My schedule is very open, I only have class on Tuesday and Thursday. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday is open all day for me to watch. I am active so your dog will be walked and taken outside very often. My house is big so lots of room to play around.
About: I’ll take good care of your fur babies, like they’re my own. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. What sets me apart is that I will not neglect your pet. We are available at all times to ensure that your dog is well cared for and given the attention he/she deserves. Will have access to a big backyard to run around in and stretch out their legs or if they just simply want to enjoy the sunshine for a bit. It will be like a vacation for them, while you enjoy your trip knowing that your furbaby is in good hands. We are home weekly and are able to care for your dog as they are our own. Can feed dogs specialty food, walk your dog and even throw a ball if they like that. Can give medication if needed for older dogs.
