About: My husband and I are frequently taking care of our grand pups! Both 4 years old. We treat them like our own. One’s a chocolate lab, the other is a dachshund. I am an early riser. I get my morning exercise done then am pretty free the rest of the day. With the exception of an occasional appointment here and there. We do not have a fenced yard but would do daily walks. We have a path near our home. We also have lots of dog toys.
“Stacy welcomed my dog into her house and treated him as her own. Rudy loved playing and snuggling with her family! She communicated well and made sure she understood his needs. I will use Stacy again.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Winnie received. It was her very first time staying at someone else’s home for several days in a row, and she was welcomed with so much warmth and kindness. I felt completely at ease while being out of state, knowing she was in such good hands. Winnie was treated like family, and I could tell she was comfortable, happy, and well loved the entire time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. I will absolutely be booking again!”
“Brittany was very sweet and easy going. She took excellent care of our dog and sent picture updates while we were gone. We will definitely contact her in the future when we need pet sitting again!”
About: I’ve handled dogs of all ages, young puppies to senior dogs. I’ve always had a dog in my home, and love fostering puppies/dogs as well through a local rescue. Have a fenced in yard for a pup that wants to play, along with having dogs of different sizes that would be a great play companion as well. I will be the one handling all the care for your pup. Starting to get into boarding and walking, working full time at the moment and possibly moving into part time work. Able to play with pups after work, will also do so around my part time hours. Our fenced in yard is nice and big for pups to play around in. With the fenced in yard and playmates for your pup, they’ll have so much fun at my house. We crate at night for safety, and love to give treats and bones to pups that are allowed to have them.
About: I've been a dog owner for as long as I can remember. I currently have one nine year old Chihuahua mix on seizure medicine twice a day. We have a fenced in yard with a chain link fence perfect for letting your dog run around. I am usually up by 5am to go for a run or cycle. I work from home regularly so I can be flexible with letting the dogs out. I have a fenced in yard with one friendly dog of my own to keep your dog company. I have cameras in the home to keep an eye on the pups if I do need to run out.
About: Friendly, warm, and welcoming. I have plenty of indoor and outdoor space to roam in my home plus a fenced in backyard. I've had dogs in the home since I was child and have been caring full-time for my dog for 7 years. I have previous experience with in-home boarding for some of my co-workers and have cared for dogs with nervous bladders. I currently work full time, but am always home in the evenings for plenty of playtime and walks. I can be flexible with pick up and drop off times with at least a day's notice to work with your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of space to roam inside my home. Dogs are welcome on the furniture or in bed if they need some extra cuddle time. I can crate your dogs if needed during the day and my own pup is crate trained for while I'm away.
“Clarissa really looked after our dog while we were on vacation for 8 days. She picked him up and ripped him off. He came back looking healthy and relaxed. Much better than boarding. Will use her services again in future.”
“We felt Teddy was very well taken care of. He got lots of love, plenty of tennis ball throws, and sweet cuddles from Heather and her daughter. It felt great knowing Teddy was in such good hands while we were away.”
“Chanse was phenomenal! I left my cat with her for a long weekend and everything went so well! Chanse made every effort to make my pet feel comfortable at her home, updated me regularly with photos, and truly treated her as if she was part of her family. She communicated well, went out of her way to purchase some treats to help my cat acclimate, asked thoughtful questions, and truly cared about the wellbeing of my pet. Her home is very welcoming and safe, and I would absolutely trust her again with any pet. I highly recommend Chanse for any of your pet needs!”
About: I’ve covered private care, dog walking, training, vet settings and grooming over the past 20 years. Currently I’m the lead groomer at a local doggie daycare specializing in behavioral rehabilitation. This means dogs in my care get folded into my pack and taken along for our day. We have a 1/3 of an acre to relax on and can reinforce training or loose leash pack walks during their stay. As I work with dogs full time, we can easily fold 1-2 dogs into our daily routine. Structured feed times, crate rotation, daily training and lots of playing in the yard are already a part of our day. Dogs can come to work with me if necessary where they will have yard access for potty breaks and a private area indoors, or stay home with my older girl who prefers the peace and quiet of sun bathing, and midday breaks for walks or time in the yard. We have a large home and yard to accommodate everyone, employ structured meal times and crate and rotate when necessary so everyone has 1-1 time at home.
About: I had a golden-lab for 6 years until we lost him to cancer earlier this year. My kiddos and I miss him a ton and would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby until we are ready to get another dog of our own. I work fully from home so I have a lot of flexibility all week and any weekends we are home/available as well. I am confident your pet would have LOTS of love and attention! I have a nice fenced in yard and great neighborhood available for daily walks. We have a great safe space to care for your pet!
“There are no words to express how thankful we are. Traci and her family made our family feel completely at ease while we were away for the very first time. This was our first experience leaving our baby with someone else, and trusting another family to care for him was a big step for us. Traci and her family treated our boy as if he were their own. She kept us updated, which we deeply appreciated, and you can see in the photos just how comfortable and safe he felt. That alone gave us so much peace of mind. For anyone considering care, we highly recommend Traci and her family. They are truly the best. And their dog, Wilfred — the cutest, kindest boy ever — made the experience even sweeter.”
“Mary did an amazing job caring for my dog for 2 weeks. I was concerned leaving her for such a long time, but Mary treated her as if she was her own dog. I received at least one photo from her every day. Right from the start I could see that my dog was healthy and happy.”
“Nicole is so wonderful with our pups! She is so attentive and loving! Our pups love her and love to spend time at her house! And Otis is the sweetest dog ever! And Archie is adorable! Thank you for such great care!!!!!”
“Rosie was happy when I picked her up. The next morning she was back to her usual self. With some other sitters, it can take one to three days for her to be back to her usual self. So just from that I’d say Alyssa did a nice job.”
“Sumer went above and beyond! She was there for me in a time of crisis and I will never forget that. She helped me out and was very flexible when it was really needed. Also, my dogs love her! I can't believe how fast my shy guy came out of his shell for her! Yay Sumer! Thank you so much!”
“Our 15 month old Maltipoo had never spent a night apart from us and had limited interaction with other dogs. We had a need for an overnight stay and decided to try Rover which led us to Emily and Thomas as they lived close by. We are so very thankful that we found them! They spent three days in a week leading up to the stay having Charlie come over for walks and spent time inside their place trying to get him used to a new environment. They were so patient with him and so kind to him. They sent pictures and videos to help reassure us that he was doing well. They really went above and beyond in every way and we can recommend them highly enough! We can’t wait to have them sit with Charlie again later this summer and have him play with Monster! Thank you, Emily and Thomas!”

“As always, Brandy’s care and love for Stevie and Stella was above and beyond. Brandy is #1 for me and I will always book with her due to the high level of confidence and trust that I have in her!”
“Allison is an incredible pet sitter. I was very nervous to leave my babies for a few days, and they helped me feel at ease. Very communicative, and I really appreciated all the photos. Thank you!”
“Dawnlea is an amazing pet sitter! My pup has separation anxiety, but she was so warm, calm, and sweet with Matilde. She cleaned up my house when she had a little bit of an accident and was extremely communicative, always providing lots of updates and photos throughout her visits too. Definitely recommended her services to everyone in the Janesville area! 😄”
About: I have had animals and cared for animals since I was young. On top of my personal animals, I have also dog and cat sat for family friends. I have also dealt with a diabetic cat and it’s shots. I am mostly just available on Fridays after 10:30 and on the weekends. I do sometimes have the availability for an afternoon (after 4) walk or drop in. I can care for your animals as you see fit in your home and follow your standards for your animals and home. If wanting some play time with another dog, I can also bring my own dog, who loves other dogs, for some play time.
“I very much trusted and enjoyed having Bridget drop in for visits to help with our 13 yr old Yorkie. She was timely and took care of Lucy as asked for. I would certainly recommend her and I will reach out again as needed. Thank you, Bridget.”
“We just got home, Zoey had a lot to say about everything, but mostly she was saying that Erica and Kayla both did a great job with her. All is well, and Zoey says to call her Rover friends the next time we go away!”
“Chanse took excellent care of our two cats during drop-in visits and sent us pictures and updates of how the visits went each time. I would definitely recommend her, and will be booking her again.”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since a child and have feed, played, and walked them. I'm good at reading their body language and adjusting the environment when necessary. I’m available most days, with work only Mondays and Thursdays from 8–5. I schedule pet care around each pet’s routine and needs and what works best for everyone. I follow feeding schedules, respect each pet’s personality, provide plenty of attention, play, exercise, and keep their environment clean and comfortable. I also love getting to know each pet and what they like.
About: I have had cats my entire life. The house always felt more complete with a cat in it. I have 2 of my own now in adulthood, Murray and Rosie. I have cat sat for many of my friends, family, and neighbors. And I’d love to meet yours
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, with a special appreciation for senior pets and those who need extra patience or consistency. One of the most meaningful experiences I've had was adopting a 12-year-old cat that developed chronic kidney disease (CKD). I cared for her through nearly four years of treatment, managing medications, hydration, appetite, weight, and daily routines until she passed away just shy of her 16th birthday. That experience taught me the importance of careful observation, consistency, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior that can indicate something isn't right. I also have experience caring for a Yorkshire Terrier and understand the unique needs of toy breeds, including their size, energy, and safety considerations. Several family members and friends have larger dogs that I take on walks and care for when they're away. Professionally, my background is in consulting and project management, which has made me highly organized, dependable, and detail-oriented. I follow instructions carefully, communicate proactively, and believe pet owners deserve regular updates and photos so they can enjoy their time away with confidence. My goal is always to care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care while maintaining flexibility. I currently offer overnight house sitting, typically from approximately 7:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m., when many pets appreciate the comfort of having someone with them overnight. During the day, I may have other work or personal commitments depending on the booking, but I always communicate my schedule in advance so expectations are clear. I strive to keep pets on their normal routines for meals, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and companionship while respecting the schedule that works best for each household. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially seniors or pets with medical needs, and I do my best to minimize disruptions to their daily routine. I am able to pick up your animal and drop them off for an additional fee ($10 / day). When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is maintaining the environment and routines they already know. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, exercise, household rules, and any special care your pet requires. I take time to build trust with each animal, allowing shy or anxious pets to become comfortable at their own pace. Safety is extremely important to me. I pay close attention during walks, keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets for changes in behavior or health, and never hesitate to contact an owner if I have a question or concern. I also treat every home with the same respect I would expect someone to show mine, keeping it clean, secure, and well cared for during your absence. Communication is a key part of my service. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing and can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Danielle was so good with all three of our crazy mini dachshunds and they absolutely loved her! We will definitely be using Danielle again. Thank you so much for taking care of our weens!”

They love our fenced in backyard and my daughter and I walk them every day as a team.When Taylor was a toddler we would go out and visit grandma and aunt / sister and give chino her dog lots of love and walks. Also in the last 5 years my late moms dog rosie who was also adopted. Dogs are great.

“Kristen dropped in twice a day to feed our cat while we were out of town. She checked in with me each time she went by and even sent pictures of Jude looking fat and happy. Knowing someone was there checking on things made being away from home much less stressful. When we got home everything in the house was just as we left it and Jude was so much more chill than she usually is when we get home. Kristen was very nice and easy to make arrangements with. I would definitely recommend her and will book her again if needed.”
About: I've taken care of dogs/cats since I was little. I've helped friends who work long hours with letting their pets out, playing to burn some energy, food routines, walks as well! I've bathed my own animals, but if I get the run down of what to do. I will be able to do it. I'm a single mom/ former dsp (caregiver) so during the morning hours I have hours of free time to fill. My daughter loves animals too so she doesn't mind walking with or playing with animals either. 😊 I keep water fresh daily, make sure they get feed twice a day or how ever their feeding routine goes. I don't mind if accidents happen, always willing to clean up. Willing to change litter boxes, they don't phase me since i have my own.

“Chanse was top tier and made my puppy’s stay the best it could be! She worked with him on his house breaking, playing with her children, helping him fall asleep when anxious, and helping when he had an upset tummy by feeding him chicken and rice. This was my first time boarding my puppy and I have to say, working with Chanse was well worth the 45 minute drive out to Janesville. Thank you so much Chanse, I will definitely be booking again with you on my next trip!”
About: I have always had a dog or multiple dogs in my life. I treat them like family. My friends come to me when they need their dogs watched! I am currently unemployed. I had experience working with animals at Petco and I had a previous job working with puppies from age 8weeks up and LOVED it! I would like to do it again. I have two chihuahuas that are allowed to have free roam of the house and yard. They know their boundaries and do not get leashed in the yard. They are allowed on anything but the counters and table! Sleep with me every night and go on walks. I have one with allergies to grass and he gets bathed regularly.
About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life. I house and dog sit for a variety of people based on recommendations. I am very passionate about animals and will always take very good care of them. I am currently only working as a pet sitter. I love pet sitting because I get to meet pet parents and care for a variety of different animals. I am a stay at home mom looking to combine my love for animals with be able to stay at home with my daughter. I own 3 cats and two dogs. I have experience grooming both dogs and cats professionally. I clean the cats litter once a day. There is always water available for all my pets. I provide enrichment exercises throughout the day for my dogs such as lick mats, puzzles, and toys. My dogs also have access to the fenced in back yard as well.
“Sarah was very friendly on drop off, I knew my dog was in good hands. Based on the pictures she sent he had a lot of fun playing out with the hose and her dogs! She had good communication and I would recommend her!”

“Brandi was WONDERFUL. She was so welcoming and accommodating despite us intruding on a holiday weekend, and so welcoming of our Pup. Throughout our days of doggy daycare, we received updates and pictures and video of our Piper enjoying her stay and new friends, and at the end of each day, we received a very happy (and very ready-to-go-home-and-nap) dog. We used her back-to-back for two days, and Piper recognized she was going got another visit on Day 2 when we turned down Brandi's road, and immediately started crying excitedly in anticipation, all but pulling me out of the car when we opened the door! It's a shame we're not closer to Janesville for regular use of booking, but if we're ever needing to go through the area en route to our destinations, Brandi will be our first choice for daycare or boarding.”

“This was my first time using this service and we were out of state, so I was nervous about all of it. Then I met Victoria and she is absolutely wonderful!! I was worried leaving my puppy with someone I hadn't met before, but everything went so well!! Victoria was so nice and attentive to my Larry. She sent messages, photos, and videos throughout Larry's visit. We just did doggie day care, dropping him off in the morning and picking him up in the evening, and I knew he enjoyed himself, because he was excited to go back in the morning. When we come back to Wisconsin, I will definitely contact Victoria again for puppy sitting!!”
“Absolutely amazing experience with our dog sitters! 🐾 They took such incredible care of my mini dachshunds, Nugget and Muffin, and treated them like their own. I got updates, photos, and total peace of mind while I was away. It’s obvious how much they truly love animals, and my pups came home happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. Nugget and Muffin can be a little spoiled and needy at times, but they were so patient, attentive, and loving with them. I honestly couldn’t ask for better people to trust with my dogs. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitters! 💕”
About: Thanks for stopping by! I am offering full day dog day camp which includes pick up and drop off from your home located in Evansville, WI or Brooklyn, WI. My name is makenzie, I am employed a registered nurse but animals will always have my heart. I’ve grown up on a a farm my whole life and now have a small hobby farm of my own with my husband and kids. I love spending my time with animals, especially my two Great Danes at home! I have personal experience caring for my own pets and house sitting for friends and family while away. I am dog (and human :) ) CPR certified and insured. Daily, I care for my pups at home and livestock on our farm. Our doggies really love when they get to join us on our farm, which gave me the interest in offering doggy daycare at our farm so other pups can enjoy it too! Lots of smells and experiences to enjoy on a farm! I have a fenced in indoor and outdoor play area for my dogs. I leash all dogs while not in designated dog areas. Designated potty breaks, supervised play time with adequate rest as well.
“So flexible and helpful with my pup! I trust her 100% and know when I pick my dog up she will be tired from playing outside, with toys or with other dogs! I highly recommend Ashlee and will continue to use her for all of our dog sitting needs!”
“Nicole is absolutely wonderful. I came to her with a dog who was super anxious at his last sitter (to no fault of the sitter), stubborn, and a senior, and she is so understanding and kind. Ollie is vocal and set in his ways, and she was able to make his experience super positive and he really seemed to like her. I will absolutely be booking her anytime she is available, and as long as she wants Ollie back.”
About: I am a loving, compassionate, and reliable person that has a love for animals. I am also athletic and can take your puppy companion for a jog! I have unlimited availability for pet care.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I have a 7 year old golden named bode. I am familiar with medication distribution and other restrictions. Bode was diagnosed with lymphoma at 5 and has been in remission for 2 years. I grew up with labs as well as shitzus and my dad has a 9 year old golden. I would prefer to meet any candidate prior to boarding as they will be in the same space as my golden, he’s a gentle giant and gets along with all animals. He is a service animal so I have experience in training and younger dogs as well. I work from home full time and have a lot of free time to give during the week. Weekends are busy for me at the moment but will slow down come winter. I work from home so week days are great I have a lot of flexibility for walks and play time and potty breaks. Very attentive and will have my golden to play with. Big grass area to play at but no fence, live in a townhome with lots of toys. Since I work from home I’m very attentive and responsive.

While I don’t consider myself a professional dog trainer, I have a lot of hands-on experience training my own dogs and enjoy doing fun, light basic training with pups who are willing participants. Above all, my goal is to make your pet feel completely comfortable and happy in my care whether that means going for walks, getting extra snuggles, or engaging in a little positive, low-pressure training. I work part-time for my family business and have the flexibility to take my work with me anywhere. That means your pet gets plenty of attention and care! I truly love animals and make them a natural part of my daily life, it’s something that brings me a lot of joy and fulfillment I have three playful, friendly, and highly socialized dogs in my home. Crating is available if needed for your pet’s comfort and safety. My yard features a secure 6-foot privacy fence with plenty of space for your dog to run, play, and explore.
“Thank you for being available to watch Georgia! I You were amazing with communication on how she was doing and also so kind in getting to know and love our dog. Looking forward to rebooking with you soon!”
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have had dogs as part of my family since I was a child. Most recently, I’ve cared for our own dog for the past 13 years, giving me experience with every stage of life—from energetic puppy years to the special needs of senior dogs. In addition to caring for our own pets, I’ve welcomed dogs belonging to family, friends, and neighbors into our home. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and activity levels, and I understand that every dog has unique routines and needs. Your dog will be treated like part of our family in our clean, smoke-free home. We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and our dog-friendly children love helping give pets plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment so you can feel confident your dog is well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into our family’s daily routine. My husband works from home, so there’s almost always someone around during the day to provide companionship, potty breaks, and attention. In the evenings, our family is typically home together, so visiting dogs become part of our daily life and receive plenty of love and interaction. We understand how important consistency is for dogs and do our best to maintain their usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, and rest. Whether your dog enjoys playing in our fenced yard, going for walks, or simply relaxing with people nearby, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for throughout their stay. We treat every dog as if they were our own and strive to make their time away from home as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. I know every dog is different, so I take the time to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences before their stay. I closely follow your instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, potty breaks, and any special care your dog may need. In our home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They have plenty of supervised time indoors, access to our fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and lots of attention throughout the day. We provide a clean, smoke-free, loving environment where dogs can feel comfortable and secure. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, or simply relax with people nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the care and companionship they need.
“Emily responded quickly to my request for daycare and we did a meet & greet the day before to make sure my dog Wolfie and her two dogs Gus & Bailey got along. It was perfect, all was good. The actual day of daycare Wolfie couldn’t wait to get inside Emily’s house! Wolfie played a lot and was very chill/tired for the evening. Emily is very nice and took great care of my pup! Highly recommend. Thanks Emily!!”
About: I've cared for cats and dogs my own as well as other owners, for the last 20-plus years I also have experience with other kinds of animals. I protect animals fiercely and I am extremely receptive of detail and specifics that any pet owner may have for me. I have varied availability throughout the week and weekend. Although I have another job, and have a family, I still have flexibility to do pet care. :-) I care for my own animals deeply in one of my top priorities is meeting their needs. I probably even go above and beyond for someone else's pet as I understand that someone else is putting their fur babies in my care. I appreciate good communication and I pay attention to details that a pet owner may have for me.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, cats and dogs. I have experience with all age ranges of pets. I enjoy taking care of mine and my family members pets! I often watch my parents 2 year old energetic boxer mix, as well as 3 cats, one who has heart failure. I also love spending time with my sisters 5 year old mini doxie. I’m comfortable cleaning up messes, cleaning litter boxes and providing basic medical needs. I look forward to meeting the furry important members of your family and providing the best care I can! I have an open availability for Monday-Friday from 6am-3pm. I’m available for longer walks if needed or short in and out trips. I take my parents dog Willie on walks around local parks, he’s a very energetic dog and likes to pull. So I take it one step at a time with him and give him ample time to soak in all the enrichment of the environment around us.
“Overall a great person. Very easy to work with, easy to reach, fast reaponses, punctual... Took care of our dogs by giving them walks while we were on vacation. The pups loved Allison. Thank you for everything!!”
“Amanda is super kind and flexible. My dog Lucy absolutely adores walks/but can also be a bit difficult. Amanda has been accommodating and great for both of us. Thank you!”
About: My preferred name is Sera. . I've had cats all my life and had friends with dogs. I dogsit as a side hustle since I can't have a dog myself (yet). I promise to treat your pets with the best care I'm currently employed and I do have my own vehicle. I can work part time or full time, days and nights. I can care for exotic pets too. I cannot care for pets in my home as I have three cats who haven't had other pets around and don't really like other animals.
“I’ve used Rover in the past and after an initial meeting, have had great luck with dog walkers. Michelle is even a step above those walkers. Her kindness and patience in allowing my timid dog to get used to her slowly, over a few visits, was such a relief. Michelle’s a rockstar! 😊”
“Kayla is the best! She has been coming to walk my dog & play with him for a long time & everything has always been great. Would recommend her to anyone looking for help with their pups!”
About: I live at home but am alone most of the time with my 2 dogs taking care of them! I love every dog I meet and enjoy spending time with them. I walk my dogs almost everyday, bath them, feed them, schedule there grooming appointments, brush there teeth, let them sleep in my bed like its theres I am prepared making sure I have clear instructions, pet profile, and house rules. As well as maintaining privacy, sharing updates, and a brief stay summary with notable observations if preferred!
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, with a special appreciation for senior pets and those who need extra patience or consistency. One of the most meaningful experiences I've had was adopting a 12-year-old cat that developed chronic kidney disease (CKD). I cared for her through nearly four years of treatment, managing medications, hydration, appetite, weight, and daily routines until she passed away just shy of her 16th birthday. That experience taught me the importance of careful observation, consistency, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior that can indicate something isn't right. I also have experience caring for a Yorkshire Terrier and understand the unique needs of toy breeds, including their size, energy, and safety considerations. Several family members and friends have larger dogs that I take on walks and care for when they're away. Professionally, my background is in consulting and project management, which has made me highly organized, dependable, and detail-oriented. I follow instructions carefully, communicate proactively, and believe pet owners deserve regular updates and photos so they can enjoy their time away with confidence. My goal is always to care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care while maintaining flexibility. I currently offer overnight house sitting, typically from approximately 7:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m., when many pets appreciate the comfort of having someone with them overnight. During the day, I may have other work or personal commitments depending on the booking, but I always communicate my schedule in advance so expectations are clear. I strive to keep pets on their normal routines for meals, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and companionship while respecting the schedule that works best for each household. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially seniors or pets with medical needs, and I do my best to minimize disruptions to their daily routine. I am able to pick up your animal and drop them off for an additional fee ($10 / day). When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is maintaining the environment and routines they already know. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, exercise, household rules, and any special care your pet requires. I take time to build trust with each animal, allowing shy or anxious pets to become comfortable at their own pace. Safety is extremely important to me. I pay close attention during walks, keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets for changes in behavior or health, and never hesitate to contact an owner if I have a question or concern. I also treat every home with the same respect I would expect someone to show mine, keeping it clean, secure, and well cared for during your absence. Communication is a key part of my service. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing and can have peace of mind while you're away.

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Winnie received. It was her very first time staying at someone else’s home for several days in a row, and she was welcomed with so much warmth and kindness. I felt completely at ease while being out of state, knowing she was in such good hands. Winnie was treated like family, and I could tell she was comfortable, happy, and well loved the entire time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. I will absolutely be booking again!”
About: I’ve handled dogs of all ages, young puppies to senior dogs. I’ve always had a dog in my home, and love fostering puppies/dogs as well through a local rescue. Have a fenced in yard for a pup that wants to play, along with having dogs of different sizes that would be a great play companion as well. I will be the one handling all the care for your pup. Starting to get into boarding and walking, working full time at the moment and possibly moving into part time work. Able to play with pups after work, will also do so around my part time hours. Our fenced in yard is nice and big for pups to play around in. With the fenced in yard and playmates for your pup, they’ll have so much fun at my house. We crate at night for safety, and love to give treats and bones to pups that are allowed to have them.
“Clarissa really looked after our dog while we were on vacation for 8 days. She picked him up and ripped him off. He came back looking healthy and relaxed. Much better than boarding. Will use her services again in future.”
“We felt Teddy was very well taken care of. He got lots of love, plenty of tennis ball throws, and sweet cuddles from Heather and her daughter. It felt great knowing Teddy was in such good hands while we were away.”
“Chanse was phenomenal! I left my cat with her for a long weekend and everything went so well! Chanse made every effort to make my pet feel comfortable at her home, updated me regularly with photos, and truly treated her as if she was part of her family. She communicated well, went out of her way to purchase some treats to help my cat acclimate, asked thoughtful questions, and truly cared about the wellbeing of my pet. Her home is very welcoming and safe, and I would absolutely trust her again with any pet. I highly recommend Chanse for any of your pet needs!”
About: I’ve covered private care, dog walking, training, vet settings and grooming over the past 20 years. Currently I’m the lead groomer at a local doggie daycare specializing in behavioral rehabilitation. This means dogs in my care get folded into my pack and taken along for our day. We have a 1/3 of an acre to relax on and can reinforce training or loose leash pack walks during their stay. As I work with dogs full time, we can easily fold 1-2 dogs into our daily routine. Structured feed times, crate rotation, daily training and lots of playing in the yard are already a part of our day. Dogs can come to work with me if necessary where they will have yard access for potty breaks and a private area indoors, or stay home with my older girl who prefers the peace and quiet of sun bathing, and midday breaks for walks or time in the yard. We have a large home and yard to accommodate everyone, employ structured meal times and crate and rotate when necessary so everyone has 1-1 time at home.
About: I had a golden-lab for 6 years until we lost him to cancer earlier this year. My kiddos and I miss him a ton and would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby until we are ready to get another dog of our own. I work fully from home so I have a lot of flexibility all week and any weekends we are home/available as well. I am confident your pet would have LOTS of love and attention! I have a nice fenced in yard and great neighborhood available for daily walks. We have a great safe space to care for your pet!
“Mary did an amazing job caring for my dog for 2 weeks. I was concerned leaving her for such a long time, but Mary treated her as if she was her own dog. I received at least one photo from her every day. Right from the start I could see that my dog was healthy and happy.”
“Nicole is so wonderful with our pups! She is so attentive and loving! Our pups love her and love to spend time at her house! And Otis is the sweetest dog ever! And Archie is adorable! Thank you for such great care!!!!!”
“Rosie was happy when I picked her up. The next morning she was back to her usual self. With some other sitters, it can take one to three days for her to be back to her usual self. So just from that I’d say Alyssa did a nice job.”
“Sumer went above and beyond! She was there for me in a time of crisis and I will never forget that. She helped me out and was very flexible when it was really needed. Also, my dogs love her! I can't believe how fast my shy guy came out of his shell for her! Yay Sumer! Thank you so much!”

“Ryan and his family did an amazing job taking care of our dog Tuck! They sent us videos and text messages to keep us informed about how he was doing. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for! We will definitely rebook with Ryan in the future!”
“Perrin was absolutely amazing with Ziva! I loved the fact that he treated her just like his own dog! The daily pictures and updates were amazing! Knowing Ziva was having a blast and being treated like the princess she is let's me know that we will definitely be using Perrin and the Sanderson Ranch again, in the future. Thank you!”

About: My first job was as a kennel attendant at a local vet clinic where I learned a lot about animal care. I have also worked at a boarding facility. Since working there, I have started my own pet sitting service called “Bodens Buddies”. I started this service for a number of reasons; one, to give my dog Boden unique social opportunities, and two, because I believe pets thrive in a home setting even if it’s not their home. I am currently working part time as I continue my college studies, so I have plenty of time to commit to your pet(s)! My schedule is flexible! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog of my own. I also have two cats who can be spaced in another area if needed.
