“We are so happy to have found Julia and her family. They took excellent care of our two dogs. They texted us and sent photos during the stay and our boys seems very relaxed and happy when we picked them up. Leaving our boys in Julia’s care gave us peace of mind. Thank you Julia!”
“Melissa and family were great. Perfect location for me and Winnie had a blast. The daily pics let me know he was in great hands! I am glad I found Melissa and will use her again and again.”
“Heather helped on super short notice, giving daily updates on Moxxie! There was lots of time outside which Moxxie LOVES and she seemed super comfortable from the photos. Thank you for the amazing stay!!”
“Kristin was amazing with our dog! Her family truly took care of him like he was their own. Our pup got lots of exercise, tons of snuggles and had his own vacation on the farm. Kristin sent us regular updates, so we were able to see how much fun he was having exploring their land. I’d highly recommend her care and will be bringing our dog back in the future!”
“I was gone for 10 days and was nervous about leaving my dogs. They had fun making new friends and were well taken care of. Thanks to Melissa for the great job. She reassured this nervous mama via text and let me know my girls were doing great. She even reported that my picky eater ate!”
“I will definitely be using Melissa again if I need a dog sitter! This was my first time using Rover and was super nervous about leaving my pup with a stranger for the weekend. Melissa sent me pictures of Leia and reassured that she was doing great. When I brought her home, she passed right out! Could tell she had a fun filled weekend! Highly recommend Melissa!”
“Denise and her family were so wonderful! She sent pictures regularly and helped with scout when my flight was cancelled. Scout enjoyed her time with them and we are both grateful!”
“We loved working with Kimberly. She watched our dog for the first time and suggested a meet and greet to make sure she was a good fit with her own dog. We loved that and it made us trust her from the start. When we met her, Kimberly asked us many questions about our dog that made us feel like she would take very good care of her. Also, Kimberly’s home is quite literally the perfect set up for dogs. We know that our dog loved staying there and we enjoyed the updates Kimberly sent us throughout her stay. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Mary was amazing!! My dog does not normally like new people but he loved Mary and she took great care of him. I even had to book last minute because of a funeral. I was able to be fully present with my family at our time of loss because my dog was so well cared for. Thanks Mary!!”
“Kristal did an awesome job taking care of our 'baby" and making her feel at home while we were out of state for a wedding. She kept us up on how Shasta was doing & sent pictures each day. It was good to see how she had found her favorite spot in their home & also enjoyed their outside fenced-in yard. Since they no longer have a dog of their own & only take in one boarder at a time, she had more attention than some days at home! We would definitely take her to Kristal again.”
“Huge appreciation to Holly and Michael for taking care of our two pit mixes. Everything was so seamless and smooth and the pictures and updates were so fun and appreciated. Highly recommend. 11/10”
“We had a wonderful experience with Brea. She watched both our cat and dog at her house. She was willing to exercise our dog nearly every day as he is high energy. She sent daily pictures and updates. She also got them a Christmas gift! We are thankful we found her. Our dog came home tired and worn after his time with Brea.”
“Teressa was able to watch our senior dog on short notice, she sent plenty of updates which helped relieve any worries while we were out of town. I so appreciate her making Milo feel at home away from home for the weekend!”
“Rebecca was amazing. She gave us photos and updates the entire weekend. Our Mabel came back clean and happy and it was clear she ran a lot and was given care, love and attention. I would recommend her to everyone!”
“Charley loves coming over and has been welcomed with open arms. Shelby keeps me up to date and informed with photos and videos and I love to see him both relaxing and playing. Would recommend!!”
“Angela was amazing and went above and beyond for our pups. I felt comfortable from the moment I met her & she took excellent care of our 2 little dogs for 10 nights in her home during a historic blizzard. She still took them for walks & sent us updates throughout our trip. She was very accommodating with drop off & pick up times & I would absolutely use her again!”

Cat caregivers near you - Advance
About: Hey there! I'm Ashley, and welcome to my furry world! Starting out with cats and dogs, I also took interest in many exotic animals, aquatic life, and farm animals. Caring for animals has been my lifelong hobby and love. I previously was a private dog trainer, and in addition to caring for my personal pets, I volunteer at various places with my certified therapy dog. Though currently a healthcare professional, I am also a ranger with the WI DNR. If you're looking for a casual buddy or a longtime friend for your furry (or hairless) one, I'm always here. Have a "special" friend? Temperament issues? Medical needs? Need me to sing the song of their people to get them to eat? No problem. Pets rule their kingdom as they see fit (or at least mine do) and I'd like to make their time away from you just as comfortable. There really is not much you can ask of me that I haven't already done or wouldn't do for your pet. Shoot me a message :) Pet care is a rewarding part of my daily routine. I make sure to structure my day around providing the best care for the pets I look after. I try to be as flexible as possible with my free time, and can often accept last minute requests. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize their comfort and safety while maintaining their usual routine. For dog walks, I ensure they get plenty of exercise while sticking to their preferred route or pace. For overnight stays or house sitting, I provide companionship, keep them fed, give medications if needed, and stick to their daily schedule; whether it’s playtime, walks, or rest. I also make sure to keep the house tidy and secure. Communication is key, so I’ll send updates and pictures to keep you informed about your pet’s wellbeing.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, cows etc since I was little. I worked at the Crivitz Countryside Veterinary Clinic for 5 years right out of high school. I want to help others with their pets needs just as I would want the help in return. I live in Shawano, but work in Howard/Green Bay Mon-Friday. I’m able to take care of pet needs in either location, anywhere in between, or slightly past those points! 😊❤️ On weekends I have more availability to do multiple drop in visits and more frequent dog walks. Daycare/Boarding is convenient for nonstop snuggles, chit chats, fetch, walks, treats, and a watchful eye on your fur babies. 10 acres with a pond/river wooded backyard. I have one dog who is high energy, but independent enough to do her own thing. She loves to play fetch, walk the trails in the woods, and car rides. I will always introduce my dog to yours through a baby gate, once they get smells/intro’s over with I like to have them meet outside for a potty break, this method takes the protective instincts away. Guards come down. A little trick I learned from working at the Vet Clinic that hasn’t let me down yet. I can keep them separate from one another also if you wish/request. Though my dog is a fixed/spayed female. I have a split level 4 bedroom house that allows a lot of space in the two living room areas in case your pet prefers their own space to eat/protective. I live 8 min from the Shawano dog park and less than 5 min from the dog beach.
“Christina has been blessing for me and my cats! - She is very sweet, gentle, caring and truly takes care of your cats as her own. Although I missed my babies when I went on vacation, I knew they were well taken care of and that gave me the peace of mind I needed to relax during my trip. She updates you regularly and is very good at following instructions. She even brought some toys for my kitties! Upon my return, I came back home to happy cats and a clean home! I highly recommend Christina and would hire her again!!”
“Thank you so much for everything you did to help with Colby! Jeanne stepped up beyond our original agreement when we had flight cancelation issues that meant we were 2 days late getting home. It was such a relief knowing that our cat was well cared for and had great rapport with her.”
“Sara has been a blessing for my cat and I. My cat used to be very anxious when I come home due my work hours; however, since having Sara's drop-ins she is very calm, sweet and playful when I come home-!!. Sara is very sweet and has a calm demeanor. She follows the given instructions , responds to messages on time, send you awesome pictures and videos and you can tell she tries to take care of your pet like one of her own. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Carly is great! She did drop in visits with my two cats while I was out of town for 4 days. She sent me a lot of pictures and videos during her visits. The kitties were so happy when I returned home and I felt great about letting them stay in their own home!”
About: I’m a life long lover of all animals, who has turned my passion into a full-time career. My experience spans from dogs, cats, small animals (e.g. ferrets), reptiles, small farm animals and horses. Before adding my services to Rover I have house sat at barns, taking care of multiple types of different animals in addition to watching the house for 7+ days. I've grown up with dogs my whole life leading me to participate in multiple puppy classes from vet centers and certified training facilities from a young age. Naturally, this had then led me to work professionally with dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and needs while getting comfortable with different harnesses and collars. I understand the importance of honoring body language for non-verbal communication, being conscious of meals + medication and how to maneuver in/out of doors/gates without escapes. My top priority is making sure the health, safety and comfortability of all animals is met to the highest standard. I do have reliable transportation for any emergencies as well and stress that I will not leave your pet until the situation is fully handled. As a calm, level headed and experienced individual, I strive to provide your animal with compassionate care through reliability, consistency, transparency, safety, dedication, and being detail orientated. I have a flexible schedule due to being self employed. My career is focused around feeding horses and training which leaves me with room to attend to the care for other clients animals. When it comes to taking care of someone else's animal, I believe a discussion about what is expected (e.g. feeding times) is vital to quality care first. In addition to meeting all basic needs, I will love the animal as if they were my own!
About: I have extensive experience working with pets, including caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. My responsibilities have included feeding, grooming, and ensuring their overall well-being. I currently work in my profession with animals on the daily. Through this hands-on experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and the specific needs of different pet species. I want to provide a safe, clean and comfortable environment for your pet to thrive!! I always find plenty of time to spend with fluffy friends throughout my day and week! My schedule is extremely flexible and I am able to work with your preferences! I am able to travel to your residence to provide the most comfortable care for your animals where they feel at home! I’m a regular exerciser which allows me to give your animal long or short walks and lots of playtime!
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities throughout my life, from puppy stages to senior care. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, administering medications, and giving pets the attention and patience they need to feel safe and happy. With my background as a CNA and caregiver, I naturally bring a calm, attentive, and detail-oriented approach to pet care. I understand how important it is to follow routines closely and make sure every pet is cared for as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or extra care, I’m here to provide a reliable and loving experience you can feel confident in. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available for last-minute bookings, drop-ins, and walks throughout the day. I’m currently looking to spend my time doing something meaningful while earning extra income, and caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I treat every pet with the same level of care, attention, and love that I give my own. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while following any routines or instructions you provide.
“Camden was fantastic and went above and beyond. My cats loved her and my shy cat Belle took to her very quickly. She sent lots of pictures of Peekaboo and Belle getting lots of love and attention. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to other pet parents. Thank you, Camden.”

“Kristin was a really great! Quick to respond, great communication, and the meet and greet was very helpful. She took great care of Barley for day care and he seemed very happy when we picked him up. We would absolutely return to Kristin if we need coverage when we're in town!”
“Melissa was wonderful! Her family was incredibly sweet, and my dog had an amazing time. She came home happy, relaxed, and completely tuckered out. Melissa has a fenced-in backyard which made lots of outdoors time accessible and she sent photos and updates throughout the day so I knew how things were going. She was very communicative from the start and set up a meet-and-greet beforehand, which helped me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. It’s clear that she provides a safe, positive, and peaceful environment for the pets she watches. I would absolutely book with Melissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
“Fantastic care for a difficult pup. Kevin took care of my pug puppy for a whole day. “Buddy” is only 5 months old and a real handful, but Kevin kept him happy all day. In fact Buddy seemed to be a better dog when him came home. Could be because he was exhausted from a great day. Should I need help in the future, Kevin will be my first choice!”
“Shanna and her husband were awesome, they provided a calm atmosphere for our nervous girls and never tried to push them to do anything they didn’t want to do. Will definitely book again next time we’re in Green Bay!”
“We had the same dog sitter for 3 1/2 years, when she told us she could no longer watch Peyton. I was crushed and didn't know how I could find a new sitter that I could trust. I read just about every Rover option in the area that met certain criteria. We tried Kaylyn for the first time and Peyton came home a happy dog. She has a lot of fears having come from a tough background before we adopted her, so she would show fear if it didn't go well. We plan to use Kaylyn again!”
About: I have been dog sitting for over 20 years. Love dogs, and helping them have great experiences. I foster dogs, and volunteer at animal care clinics. I have two of my own pups, and a foster dog. I have schedule flexibility to provide care in your home, and there is a possibly of care in my home if all dogs get along. I have a fenced in potty area, and a huge yard. I strongly believe in positive training, positive reinforcement - I’ve taken training classes with my pups and foster pups in positive training methods and use that with all the dogs I engage with.
“I couldn’t have been happier with the care and attention Breanna gave to our pets. The whole process was so easy and Breanna was very accommodating. She sent pictures and messages to let me know how our babies were doing and allowed us to have a great day without worrying about our pets. She is a very sweet girl with an obvious love for animals. An overall outstanding experience; I would highly recommend her!!!”
“Bonnie was great! Our dog and hers had so much fun playing and she accommodated us for a last minute booking. Will definitely book again next time we are in the green Bay area and need pet care 😊”
About: I've always had dogs in our family and sense getting older continue to love them. I handle all the training for my dogs and even do bikejoring with them! I frequent the local dog park weekly and go on frequent walks as well. I have a large fenced in area (and an electric portion on top to defer dog nappers!) With free access of water and feedings twice a day (or more if your dog needs it!) your pups will feel right at home with me. I have basic first aid knowledge and did complete a semester of vet tech in collage so I can handle pretty much anything from pills to injections. Your dog will be treated like family and thus will get better treatment than most humans! LOL I’ve been running and maintaining my own business as a handywoman for the last few years but miss the interactions with other dogs! My schedule is very flexible for that reason. As stated in a previous section I have a fenced in yard with free access of fresh water and feeding done twice a day. My dogs are both house trained and crate trained. They also are great with other dogs. In my fenced in backyard it’s about 90% privacy fence and is currently in the process of being cleaned up after the pool had a leak and ruined a lot of the stuff we had back there including a jungle gym for the dogs.
“Olivia had great communication and flexibility with drop off and pick up times. My dogs were very happy and pooped out from playing all day. I most certainly would have Olivia take care of Daisy and Theo again.”

About: I’ve been around dogs, cats and other pets my whole life. I grew up on a hobby farm and have over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all ages—from kittens and puppies to seniors. I currently have two dogs of my own and know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Since I work from home, I’m able to be flexible and give your pet the attention they deserve, whether that’s regular walks, check-ins, or just some extra company during the day. I’m also a clear communicator and will always keep you in the loop while you're away. Looking forward to getting to know your pet! I work from home, so I am flexible about what time of day I can drop in on your pets. I can also bring my computer and work from your home if needed. Weekend availability varies but I keep my schedule up to date on Rover. I take care of pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment. I'll follow the routine you provide—whether it’s feeding, walks, or medication—and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, double-check doors and gates, and always keep you updated with how things are going. Whether it’s a drop-in, walk, or overnight stay, you can count on reliable care and clear communication.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who recently retired, and I’m looking to fill my days with some extra puppy love. My pup, Cullen, and I are a duo that loves company. Since I’m home throughout the day, your dog will have constant supervision, plenty of backyard time, and all the belly rubs they can handle. We’re looking for friendly companions to join us for neighborhood strolls and afternoon naps. Your pup won’t just be "staying" here—they’ll be part of the family! Since I am retired, my schedule is completely dedicated to pet care. Your dog will enjoy 24/7 companionship and a consistent routine, as I am home full-time to provide potty breaks, backyard play, and plenty of cuddles. Cullen and I are very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, and we look forward to a Meet & Greet to ensure a perfect match! We offer a fully fenced-in backyard featuring a beautiful koi pond. To ensure a safe and harmonious environment for everyone, I look for guest dogs who have a solid foundation in basic obedience and a 'gentle' temperament around water and wildlife. My own dog loves making new friends, and I prioritize active supervision to ensure all 'fur babies'—and my fish—stay happy and safe!
“Mackenzie was the absolute perfect dog sitter for our sweet Maverick! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. It was clear she loved and cared for him as if he were her own, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away at the Packers game. She kept us updated with pictures and made sure Maverick had everything he needed — including lots of love and snuggles! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Mackenzie to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and who truly loves animals. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boy!”
About: We have done long-term and short-term fostering for more than 7 years and love pets. We have a finished basement with a spare bed in case your pet prefers privacy from our resident pets. If not, our cats and dogs love visitors and are very accustomed to new friends. Both my husband and I work from home and are able to give your pet round-the-clock care. We also live in a subdivision featuring many walking trails and sidewalks to give your furry friend the fun they crave while you're away. I have two kids (16 and 8) who love helping walk and play with your pet. We are excited to love your pet just like you would while you're away from home. I work from home for a business I help run, as does my husband so I have plenty of time to hang out with your furry friend! Our pets are part of our family- and yours will be too while you're away. We are a home of animal lovers- our pets included! While we do not have a fenced-in yard (bordered by one fence however), any time our dog is outside- we are too and we will do the same with your furry friend. Our pets are accustomed to new friends and always are receptive and friendly. However, on the off chance your pet is stressed out by the hustle and bustle of family life, they can have their own space with either me or my husband in a fully finished basement. We will let your animal lead the way in what makes them feel comfy, safe and loved. Our goal is always to provide the home we would want for our pets if we were away.
“Our first time using Rover and we had a great experience with Cassie. We felt very comfortable leaving our golden doodle with her while we were away and received updates throughout the day. We definitely would have Cassie care for our dog again!”
“I truly appreciate Colleen for taking care of my fur baby all day! She is super nice and took very good care of my fur baby! I definitely recommend her. If and when I am back in Greenbay I will for sure do another booking with her.”

“Melissa and Buster have made it very easy for me to recoup from a broken ankle by walking Penny three times a day for the last month plus. Penny absolutely adores them and is always anxious to go on her walks. They love her as much as she loves them with lots of kisses and hugs. I will definitely call on them in the future and recommend them to anyone who wants caring walkers or sitters.”
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life — from growing up around horses and barn cats to caring for beloved family dogs. I have over 30 years of equine experience and have worked in a veterinary clinic as a vet assistant, which means I’m confident providing basic first aid, administering medications, and making sure your dog is safe, healthy, and happy. I have experience working as a vet tech and also worked as zookeeper at the NEW Zoo for a while. Today, I share my home with Luna, our fun-loving dog, and carry with me the experience of caring for our cherished golden doodle for 14 wonderful years. I live on a peaceful horse property with 5 acres of land (there is a safe fenced-in area for dogs away from the horses) where your dog will have plenty of space to run, sniff, and explore — or simply relax in the fresh country air. My goal is to make every dog feel like they’re part of the family, because to me, they truly are. I currently work from home so I am always available to love your pet and take care of their needs! I love taking care of dogs! Your dog will love my 5 acres of open land, plus a fenced yard and secure playpen for safe play. I also have three gentle, dog-friendly horses who keep the atmosphere calm and welcoming. I do have three cats, but they are barn cats and when they see a new dog, they are very, very good at hiding out. I live on a street that is tucked away from the busy road . Inside my house it is very pet friendly and I do have a nice kennel that dogs are able to go in if they need that.
About: I am very proud to be a "fear free handler". That's a big thing for me, if an animal is uncomfortable, I am 100% uncomfortable along with them.. learning their little quirks and finding ways to do things in the best way possible for that specific animal is what I do and I absolutely love doing it. I promise your animal will be cared for deeply while in my care. My passion has always been working with animals, providing them with the care and respect they deserve and I have extensive experience in the field. I’ve worked in horse barns, animal shelters, and dog boarding facilities, and I’m skilled in administering all types of medications, including insulin. Whether it’s feral cats or reactive dogs, I have the patience and expertise to help them adjust and thrive, including building trust with new people. I understand how intimidating change can be for animals, and I’m dedicated to making those transitions as smooth as possible. I’ve dedicated countless unpaid hours to caring for animals, driven solely by my love and commitment to their well-being. When you entrust me with your pet, I promise to care for them as if they were my own, providing compassion, patience, and unwavering dedication in every situation. I am pretty open with my schedule. I will love your babies like my own. I do work mon-thurs 3-9pm and Saturday 11-4. I am a perfectionist. If you tell me you want something done in a specific way or at a certain time, please let me know!! I'd be more than happy to jump through hoops to give your baby(s) what they need when and how they need it. I will put your animal above everything else, that's what I'm paid for and that's what I love doing.

“Karissa is an amazing dog walker and individual. She and her husband stopped by for the initial meeting. Our Cooper took right to her. She is very flexible. We have had a number of service people at home, along with changes and Karissa has been a great constant for Cooper. She is always on time and professional in her communication. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I'm a 26yo who has owned cats and dogs my entire life. Currently, I'm the parent of a very energetic husky and 2 cats. I am very active and athletic, so keeping up with a dog's energy is second nature. I love taking my pup for runs, walks, swims, and play time at the dog park. He loves to play with other dogs and can be a playmate if you wanted. I have over 20 years experience in personally caring for animals: including feeding, changing litter boxes, play time, cleaning messes, administration first aid and medications, IV injections, and keeping an eye for unusual behavior. I am caring for an animal every day of the week. I can fit in a lot given my flexible work schedule and ability to travel. Everyone has different standards for pet care, and I am open to adapting and curating care based on individuals and pet needs. I can be a great service in keeping your pet active when needed, and to help keep them calm when necessary. I know socializing and connecting are a huge need to properly care for animals, so as an animal lover I always try to find a connection with the animals I care for

Thank you!! I am flexible and open to whenever needed whether it be just weekends, or if you need something during the week. I am here to help however I can. As a certified veterinary technician I have a large skill set to help me properly care for your pet in case of an emergency that puts me past others. I am very cautious and careful with everything I do keeping your pets safety and health a priority.
About: I've had dogs my entire life they've always been more like siblings to me than pets. Right now I have an Australian Shepherd and a German Shepard, I love them very much but now that I've moved out of my parents house I don't see them every single day and im missing some pet love!! I am a caregiver to the elderly and disabled as well but love giving care to any and all in need!! Very easy to work with. Shoot me a text. 😉 Caregiver all around 💞 I love being of service and giving care whether it be humans or animals, I enjoy what I do. Ask me more :) I do not board animals at this time due to having my own kitten, she is being introduced to other pets but is not yet fully comfortable
About: I’ve been doing pet sitting services for 15 years. I started working with a business in Arizona. I moved up here to Wisconsin to start my own pet sitting company. I love animals and I love keeping them active. My passion is to make sure your pets are taken care of and they get the attention they need. I love being able to take pets on adventures and I love being able to help families out. I am now moving back to Arizona to continue my successful business! I am looking to work as a full-time pet sitter. Whether that be dog walking, overnights, and boarding. I want to make this a full-time business. I have a fenced in yard for my home. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I have experience with all different breeds and other animals as well.
“I reached out to Kaitlyn to see if she could accommodate a short notice dog walking request, as I’ve been a little under the weather and my dog was starting to go stir crazy. She responded to my request quickly, communicated when she was on her way, walked Luna for the full 30 minutes and was very friendly! Luna is a happy girl and I would absolutely hire Kaitlyn again!”
About: Please read through and make sure we are the best fit for you! We provide elevated, professional pet care for owners who expect reliability, attention to detail, and a genuinely compassionate touch. Caring for animals is not just something we do—it’s something we take great pride in. Every visit is approached with consistency, intention, and respect for both your pet and your home. Our services are designed to ensure your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine are maintained to the highest standard. From feeding and fresh water to enrichment and attentive care, we tailor each visit to meet your pet’s individual needs while giving you complete peace of mind. We also have extensive experience caring for elderly pets and those with medical needs. This includes administering medications, injections (such as insulin), and following detailed care routines. We understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and precision when it comes to senior and special-needs animals, and we are committed to providing them with the highest level of care. Poop removal services are available as an add-on, ensuring your yard or space remains clean, sanitary, and well-maintained. We handle this with the same level of care and professionalism as every other aspect of our service. For the safety of both your pets and ourselves, snow removal must be completed or scheduled in advance prior to any visit during winter conditions. This ensures safe access to your property and allows us to provide uninterrupted, high-quality care. We are not a volume-based service—we focus on doing things the right way. We love what we do, and it shows in the level of care, pride, and professionalism we bring to every single client. Pet care is our full-time profession, not a side commitment. Because of this, we are able to structure our daily and weekly routines entirely around the needs of the pets in our care. This level of dedication gives us the flexibility to adapt to your dog’s specific schedule—whether that means consistent feeding times, regular potty breaks, medication routines, or simply maintaining the structure they’re used to at home. We intentionally limit our workload to ensure each pet receives focused, attentive care rather than a rushed visit. We take great pride in what we do, and our routine reflects that commitment—centered around reliability, consistency, and providing a calm, dependable experience for both pets and their owners. I tailor everything to meet their needs—feeding, playtime, walks, medications, and lots of love. Safety, comfort, and keeping routines consistent are always my top priorities.

We loved that and it made us trust her from the start. When we met her, Kimberly asked us many questions about our dog that made us feel like she would take very good care of her. Also, Kimberly’s home is quite literally the perfect set up for dogs. We know that our dog loved staying there and we enjoyed the updates Kimberly sent us throughout her stay. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
