Highly-rated overnight sitters - Lyons
“Rachel was wonderful with my two dogs. They felt right at home with her family. She's great with dogs and is very aware of tfeir behaviors. She proactively met with us prior to the stay to see how my dogs would interact with some of the other dogs she watches. Everything worked out great. I would highly recommend Rachel.”
“Deanne took wonderful care of our dog at her house while we were out of town. She sent us pictures and messages to see how she was doing. I would totally recommend her to any pet owner and will certainly be using her in the future. Thank you for a great stay!”
“Tony was great with Archie. He sent photos and videos which I really liked to see. Archie looked like he really enjoyed himself. Would highly recommend Tony. Thanks again for having Archie in your home”
“This is the second time Wolfie stayed with Kim while we visited Great Wolf Lodge. Although he is nervous and doesn't like strangers, he had an easy time warming up to Kim. She sent us many updates of them going on walks, enjoying her outdoor area, and (his lap dog favorite) keeping close while she worked. When he wouldn't eat his usual dog food, she prepared him special food (with our blessing). We always knew he was in excellent hands and will be back for another visit if we head to Great Wolf Lodge or Great America!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She updated daily and made sure our babies were so well taken care of. She went above and beyond and I’m so grateful we chose to book with her. I will absolutely be booking her for any future needs for our pups.”
“Joanne was a LIFE SAVIOR ! I had a last minute cancellation and she responded right away and was able to help take care of Atlas. She was super communicative, shared great photos, and took amazing care of Atlas incredibly impromptu! Thank you thank you thank you !”
“Ashley and family once again made Rocco feel at home. He was spoiled with attention, and always looked happy in the regular pictures we received. Rocco tends to be anxious, but always seems comfortable in Ashley’s home.”
“Scott Ashley and their boys are a Godsend for me. Dixie is safe and I am able to relax and enjoy my vacation time. They treat her so well and she is a senior gal who is blind and almost deaf. I get photos throughout my trip and I really enjoy that. I would not leave Dixie with anyone else.”
“Kim was prompt, punctual and really likes my puppies. Her fenced yard worked really well with my 2 puppies. They even have a German short hair puppy as a playmate! Glad we found Kim in Rover!”
“She was very inviting and spoiled the girls accordingly. The girls were nice and tired after a full day of play. Absolutely wonderful to work with. We were a little late getting there from when we promised; but she was understanding. I would highly recommend this sitter & if we were ever in the neighborhood again, we would definitely use her!”
“Jacob was great. He is very accommodating, his communication is excellent and you can tell he truly loves dogs. Jacob sent us nice daily updates and photos and made sure our dogs felt at home. His dog is very friendly and made it fun for our dogs to stay with them. We will definitely use Jacob again!”
“Kylie was the best ever! I had a worry free vacation . She was very organized you can tell that she loves what she do! She sent us pictures of jazzy while we were gone she took her for walks and she also groomed her for us! She's so knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. The best experience ever! Thank You”
“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“First time using Rover and we had a great experience with Debbie and Tom from the "meet and greet" to the overnight stay. Archie settled in nicely and I could tell he was comfortable there from the pictures and updates they sent. I am grateful for the opportunity to let him stay in a comfy home with people who love dogs!”
“My pet had spent the fantastic days in her house because I felt he didn’t want to go back home with me. I appreciated about what I could get good travel due to her care.”

About: For some reason, every dog I've ever met loves me. I absolutely adore dogs. I've been dog sitting for 17 years for friends and family. I've taken care of shy, skittish, hyper, calm, anxious, and every other type of dog personality. I have a calming way about me that dogs love. I'm incredibly trustworthy, detail oriented, careful, loving, and protective. I am willing to help out in any way needed to make your dog as happy as possible. The dog in my profile is my former dog Roxy. I rescued her from a shelter. She was my best friend. No one would choose her for a forever home because she had a lot of social needs. I was able to work with her on these needs and did a lot of training and she became an amazing dog. I can't wait to meet your dog or dogs and give them the care that they need.
“I’d leave Cayla 10 stars if I could. She took exceptional care of our anxious shepherd. She was very thoughtful of his nervousness and made him feel at ease. She had excellent communication as well, I didn’t worry at all about our boy.”
About: Nestled on 6 acres of wooded land, my country home is the perfect place for a pup of any age to play, relax and explore while you're away! With a large fenced in yard, toys, activies, and walks, there is so much to do! Having 14 years of experience working with pets, I feel confident in providing a safe, fun, and relaxing environment for your fur family that will leave you feeling confident and comfortable with your pet's care. After starting my career as a pet groomer, I started working at a boarding facility where I fell in love with pet care! Watching dogs interact and play, running around outside and the carefree and happy faces of all the pups ignited my passion. After four years at the boarding facility, my family and I moved to Colorado for a new job opportunity, where my love of dogs drove me to work at an animal shelter. I gained much insight and knowledge from my time there, including vet care and training, but ultimately knew that wasn't where I was meant to be. After covid hit, my family moved back to Wiscosnin, and in 2022 bought our dream home! I am so excited to welcome your furbabies into my home and give them all the love and care they could possibly need while they are with me. Whether it's exploring the land, cuddling on the couch, or catching up on some grooming, I am happy to provide anything and everything I can to make your pup love staying with me as much as their own home! Important note: Summer is my busy season, so during the months of June-August I will not be requiring a meet and greet as long as your dog has been boarded before and gets along well with other dogs. If you would still like a meet and greet, I would be happy to schedule one with you, but please be patient in scheduling as it is a busy time. Thank you! Boarding is my fulltime job so I am home every day to care for the animals. Pickup and drop off hours are from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Every day is a new adventure! From walks to pool time in the yard, snuggles on the couch or bed and fun holiday activies, your pup will be on their own little vacation while you're away. Safety is always my top concern. While your dogs are with me they will never be left unsupervised; in the case of having to leave for a doctor's appointment etc. they will be crated. I have a fenced in yard with locks on it, so there is no chance of a dog slipping through or opening the gate. I am also trained on signals and body language to prevent dog fights or injuries.
“Tami did an excellent job caring for both my cats who have medical needs. My older cat is a diabetic with severe skin issues requiring multiple medications on an alternating schedule in addition to her twice a day insulin. She did a good job asking questions and making sure Kitten got the medications she needed on the correct schedule. She successfully gave both oral and injection medication and Kitten was in great shape when I got back (which is not always the case after a vacation due to her detailed care needs). There were some minor things that came up but those were mostly me being very particular about some specifics and in the end, were not that important and didn't affect the care of the cats. The house was clean and the cat food and litter box trash taken out, which I appreciated.”
About: I grew up with cats and am currently the proud mom of two adventurous kitties. I’m very calm and patient towards all cats, especially if they are shy. If you ever want to learn how to train your cat to walk with a leash or adventure with you in a back pack I can help with advice!
“Brandi is amazing cat sitter, our cats love her. When we came back after long trip, I feel like both of my cats didn’t feel we were gone at all. Thanks to her again. Definitely ask her to check our cats again in the future.”
“Thank you so much, Leslie for all your help taking care of my cats. It was a peace of mind knowing you were there for them and thank you for the extras too. 5 stars and more! Very reliable, great communication and cares for animals!”
“Susana took wonderful care of our buddies while we were away. We appreciate her professionalism, commitment and communication. We Thank You for being their special friend while we were away.”
“Sara is incredible! Is was onvious on day one how much she cares for animals. She is patient and kind with my doggo and quickly made friends. Her communication is top notch and the photos she sends really brighten a dull day”
About: I know that every cat is different. some are playful and social, while others need patience and space and I always adjust to what makes them most comfortable. I make sure they’re not only taken care of, but also feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re gone.
“Deanne did a great job taking care of our kitties while we were away. She was able to come over for a meet and greet on pretty short notice too. Will use her again!”
“Haylea is amazing! She’s very professional and has great communication. She took great care of my cat while I was away and provided great pictures and updates. Highly recommend!”
About: I've had dogs since I was little. Love pets. I go for walks daily so a furry friends to assist me in these walks in ideal! Growing up we had two dogs since puppies and rescued an older dog!

Weekend can get busier, but I am a flexible go with the flow person!

“Renee did a fantastic job with in-home visits with my dog Rookie. It was my first time ever using Rover and Renee went above and beyond. She made the process very easy and Rookie had a great weekend with her!”
About: I’ve been in the pet care industry since I was 18 years old! I started in dog daycares and ended up in the veterinary industry as a vet tech/assistant. I have since moved back home and plan on going back to school to get into human medicine, but would love to still spend time with animals! I’m currently going to school online, so I have a lot of availability! I would require just 24 hours notice in order to pet sit or walk your furry child! Unfortunately, I cannot have animals at my house besides my own. I have experience in pet sitting at others houses and I can also clean!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and horses almost my entire life! I have experience with dogs who struggle with dog aggression, leash problems, diabetes etc. I am very patient and understanding and I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I currently work at a vets office nearby during the day with Mondays off so I can help mornings and evenings no problem! I don’t mind early morning walks as I am up with the sun normally! I am flexible to work with your dog’s current life style, needs, or whatever they may require. I have my own Australian cattle dog who is extremely friendly and willing to accompany your dog if needed or allowed!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lyons
“This was our first visit with Deanne. Doggy Daycare was a hit! Cash was happy when I picked him up. He was sound asleep on the couch within a 1/2 of getting home. I think he had a busy day with his new lil buddy!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of our family. Last year, we said goodbye to our English Bulldog after 12 wonderful years, and while my family is not quite ready for another forever pup yet, I am excited to open our home and hearts to other dogs in the meantime. I work from home full-time, so your pup will have lots of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, and I'll treat your dog like part of the family. Whether your pup loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just relaxing company, I'm happy to provide a loving and comfortable environment. I work from home full-time during the work week, which allows me to provide flexible scheduling, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pup won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of companionship and supervision while in my care. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits with a schedule that can accommodate most pet needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in the country on a full acre with a large fenced-in backyard, giving dogs plenty of safe space to run, explore, and play. Our home provides a calm, loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed while away from their families. Pets receive lots of supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. I’ll always treat your dog like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved during their stay.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, and even bought a dog of my own 3 years ago and he’s the best ever! He’s super friendly with other dogs and plays well with others. I usually take him on walks mornings, midday, and evening time and in the summer I only give him a walk in the evening because he’s a Husky and it gets too hot for him during the day. Evenings are best time for him. I try to take him to the dog park at least a couple times a week, so you can count on your pup having some one on one time with another pup and having LOTS of fun. I have walked dogs for family/family friends since I was 14. I’ve dog sat too and fed and bathe them. I am a stay at home mother of two beautiful children (3yrs, and 8months) and I take them along on walks too. They love dogs! I am available during the week at any time! I have 1 male Siberian Husky, he’s 3yrs old. He’s fixed and is up to date on all his shots, he’s also super friendly and plays well with any type of dog and any size.
About: I am a certified veterinary technician with an additional certification in massage and rehab therapy. I have been working in the animal care industry since 2012 and have worked with and trained dogs for a long as I can remember. I offer expert level care for medically complex cases and a fear free approach for anxious pets. I have experience working with anxious and aggressive dogs as well as competition trained dogs. Being crate trained is a must for overnight stays. I do have 1 large crate here but encourage you to bring your pet's crate from home if able. Self- employed with a flexible schedule, I have all day availability and can also do early morning and late evening drop ins. I only take 1 client at a time so that I can give your pet the care and attention they deserve. Because I only take one client at a time, I can offer a stress free stay for animal aggressive pets. I wash all toys and blankets and sanitize all the floors and dishes between every stay.
About: I'm an energetic person who enjoys being with dogs. I pay close attention to detail and I am always willing to engage in activities to keep your dog busy but I also know dogs need some down time as well. I stay at home full-time so I will be able to provide plenty of potty breaks and play time in the backyard. I am currently a dog daddy to a Chihuahua named Lucy. She'll be 1 years old on November 1st. She's very loving and friendly dog. I have 7 years of experience. I don't mind taking your dogs or puppies out for walks instead of just staying in the backyard. I will take good care of your beloved pets as if they were my very own.
“Danielle is AWESOME!! Roxy had a great time with her and her dogs and kids are amazing! She sent me photos during the day and let me know how Roxy was doing. She takes her for nice walks and gets plenty of exercise and fun. I'm super happy with the care Roxy gets at her house. Thanks!”
“Melissa was an amazing host! She was super responsive and very attentive to my pups special needs. So grateful for sitters like Melissa who really care for your pet like their own. 10/10 would reccomendo and will book again!”
About: What makes me different? I treat your pets like they’re my own! Whether it’s helping puppies learn the ropes, giving extra TLC to senior pets, or just making sure your furry friend gets plenty of play, love, and belly rubs. I always send updates so you’re never out of the loop. Think of me as your pet’s new best buddy! Im a college student with flexible availability. I’m always caring for my mom’s dogs when she’s out of town so the routine is already established! When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine closely, whether it’s feeding, walks, or medication. I keep their space clean, give them plenty of attention, and try to make them feel as comfortable as possible while their person is away. I always respect the home, keep things tidy, and send regular updates. If anything seems off, I let the owner know right away.
About: I have only had my own dogs to engage with but I love to teach them new tricks and help them learn. I am also not afraid to get to know shy pets I would be available after 4:30pm weekends but available all weekend. I work around having other jobs but am open those parts of the day I feed them, walk them, and teach them new tricks. I also love to play with my dogs to get the energy out of them
“Again, I appreciate the care Tom and Debbie provide for my dog. I had a VERY last minute need for help and they were so kind in their quick response. I worry about my pup too mich— there is always something —and Debbie responds in a reassuring manner. Thanks Debbie & Tom!”
“We love Sandy and so do our dogs! We honestly don’t know what we would do without her. She takes such great care of our girls that they seem completely unimpressed when we come to pick them up at the end of each stay. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Rover and a sitter and we were very pleased with the service Megan provided. She kept in touch with us throughout the day and sent us pics. She is very responsive and we will definitely use Megan again. Thank you!!”
About: I focus on building trust so pets feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies (basic training and routines) and senior dogs (gentle care, patience, and medication support). Every pet is treated like family. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home. I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, so pets get consistent attention and care rather than being left alone. I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment, whether in my home or the client’s. I supervise pets closely, follow their routines, and ensure they have fresh water, proper meals, and plenty of attention. I focus on building trust, reducing stress, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and secure.
About: Hello! My name is Dallas! I am a huge animal lover, and would love to care for your furry family member! I have always loved all animals and have been in this field for over 15 years. A little about me: I was a volunteer at the SPCA for a few years, back when I lived in Nevada when I was in high school. Then I worked for a 24/7 doggy day care facility for about two years in Lake Tahoe after I moved there with my husband Adam. I worked there until I started my own pet sitting/walking company. when My husband Adam owned a wooden surfboard shop there, while I started my own pet sitting/dog walking company. In 2016, we decided to travel around with our dog Myles for a bit, and converted a school bus into an RV! We both own our own companies so we’ve always been able to work remote and did the conversion on our own. Eventually we ended up in Nashville and did two house flips while still running our craft companies. In 2020 my husband and I moved back here to Illinois where Adam is from, to help his elderly parents, and the family property. We just finished converting the barn into a homestead while we are here, and just celebrated our wedding in the property in September. Sadly our dog Myles passed away peacefully last October at the age of almost 17. While my husband and I greatly miss having a dog or pet around, we’re just not quite ready to get another dog yet and we figured Rover would be perfect. I’ve had a long list of pets throughout my life, from small Pomeranians to a large PitBull lab mix and multiple cats, I haven’t met an animal I didn’t love yet haha. Adam and I live on 8 acres with plenty of room to run and play. Our home is very clean, and also very dog friendly aka we love couch snuggles! Because Adam and I both operate our own businesses, we both have separate shops built in the house so we have the luxury of getting to stay home while still working, making our schedules very open and flexible! My husband and I both own our own businesses and have our shops on our property, so we both work from home every day with a completely open and flexible schedule! I care for every pet as if they were my own, while following and respecting the owners directions and or specific requests! We have a large pet friendly house that is very empty after our lab mix passed away in fall, and for the first time we are completely pet-less. We live on 8 acres in the country with tons of space to run and play and poop and have tons of fun. We are fenced in property but because the property is so big we keep our visitors on leashes. Our home is very clean but also very dog friendly (aka we love couch snuggles and don’t mind sharing our bed haha)
About: It’s been a while since I offered services, but I’m getting back into it and would love to care for your babies! I have always been a dog owner - if I could rescue every dog in the world I would! Instead, I'll gladly help take care of other peoples' angels and call it a day. I recently lost my dog of 12 years and am ready to pour my puppy love into your dogs. I work from home so will always be around. I work from home so am always around - your dog will not be left alone! I will only accept bookings for days and times that I have nothing else planned so I can keep my focus on your animal! I have a yard that is partially fenced, so I will take your pup on walks or only be outside with them leashed. I take safety seriously!
About: My husband I both grew up with golden retrievers and have a soft spot for them. When I was first out on my own and bought my first home, I rescued a pit bull and she was with me until she passed. My husband, sons and I are all dog lovers and would love to welcome your dog into our home. My husband is home full time and I work from home and we are anxious to care for your pet! We have 2 sons - ages 6 and 10, so kid-friendly dogs are a must. We are available any day of the week at any time, unless we have something specific planned (which is not often). Please feel free to ask about specific dates and times and I will be sure to add you to my calendar! My husband is home full time and I work from home so we have ample amounts of time to care for your pet. My 2 sons LOVE dogs and love to play and take dogs on walks. Our yard is unfenced, per our HOA rules so your pet will always be on a leash for potty breaks and walks around the neighborhood. Pets are free to explore the entire home and will not be crated or gated, unless a crate is provided and requested.
“Amazing! I had no worries all day about my dog as I was sent many videos and also text messages of updates for him! 10/10 would very much recommend! Thank you so much again!!!”
“Cassie is an amazing sitter - she is so friendly and communicative, and took in my dog Abby when I was in need of last-minute day care. She sent photos and videos throughout the day, and even helped my shy dog warm up to her sweet pup. I felt so comfortable knowing Abby was in her hands and would 1000% book with her again! She is a friendly dog lover and Abby and I both look forward to seeing her next time.”
“Tia and Colin took amazing care of our girl and she had an amazing day! Tia sent lots of photos and updates and was extremely communicative and caring! We will rebook any time we’re back in Wisconsin! Thanks again!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Lyons
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, hermit crabs, lizards, and fish, so I’ve always been surrounded by pets of all kinds. I’ve walked my family’s dogs for 10 years and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors with them. While my apartment doesn’t allow pets, I’d love the opportunity to care for yours through walks and drop-in visits. I’ll treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve! I’m typically available Monday through Friday mornings and early afternoons, and I’m happy to accommodate the occasional evening or Saturday when needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I currently offer dog walks and drop-in visits only, so your pet can stay in the familiar environment of your home and neighborhood. Whether we’re enjoying a walk, playing in the yard, or simply keeping them company, I’ll follow your care instructions closely and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’ll always treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own.
“Cayla has been such a blessing to us. She is reliable, flexible, and communicates so well! Our puppy adores her, and Cayla is SO patient- even when our girl throws a curveball at her every day, she always finds a way to keep their walks going! It’s comforting knowing she is in such trustworthy hands while having so much fun. Highly recommend Cayla!”

“Deanne provided daily drop-in dog walking for my 1 year old golden puppy, Daisy. Daisy is full of energy and can be a bit much but she always seemed happy when I got home from work after having a walk with Deanne. Deanne was always flexible with hours, often accomodating change in dog walking times as needed. She always sent photos of Daisy during or after the walks. I would highly recommend Deanne for her services!!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—over 33 years of experience as a dedicated pet parent to dogs, cats, and even crabs and lizards. My deep love for animals led me to work as a veterinary assistant, where I gained hands-on experience with everything from basic care to administering medication and recognizing signs of illness. Whether your pet needs a playful walk, quiet companionship, or a little extra TLC, I bring patience, compassion, and confidence to every visit. I truly treat every animal like family. I work full-time but have a very pet-friendly schedule! I work remotely from home on Thursdays and Fridays, so I’m fully available and present from Thursday through Sunday with no interruptions—your pet will have plenty of attention and company during those days. From Monday to Wednesday, I work a regular 8–5 schedule outside the home, but I always come home mid-day for a full hour-long lunch break to let pets out, go for a walk, or give them some love and attention. I make sure their needs are met and they’re never left alone for too long. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. In my home, we have a cozy and pet-friendly environment with a small fenced-in yard perfect for safe outdoor play. I share my home with two friendly dogs, a sweet cat, an animal-loving teenager, and my equally pet-obsessed boyfriend—so your furry friend will never be short on attention or companionship. Whether your pet prefers quiet spaces or social time, I can easily adjust the environment. Rooms can be closed off for privacy or opened up for free roaming, depending on your pet’s personality and needs. I strive to make every pet feel at home, cared for, and secure—whether they’re here for a short stay or a longer visit.
About: Hi! I have taken care of cats, dogs, chickens & lizards. I feed them, enjoy walking them & spending time with all of them. Thanks. I currently work full time and this is something I do part time, on the side. My full time job is flexible but I would need notice to adjust my work schedule.I can’t promise I can do this all the time… I like to do a meet n greet first so I can meet the family, let the pets sniff me & have some interaction. I follow the regular routine when I am in the clients home. If they are crated, I crate them. If they need to be let out in the middle of night & that is what the owner does, I let pet out…I make sure they are well taken care of. I treat them as they are my own.
About: Since the day I was born, I have lived in a home with numerous types of pets. I have had puppies since the day they came home at eight weeks old, and I have been there to hold their hand when they had left this earth; not only have I seen all stages of life, I have helped take care of them until they are very last breath. My passion is truly to care for others and that also includes animals. Currently, I have two large dogs in my home which we have trained from day one and they are the most loving sweet dogs. I have worked from the basics of sit and stay to fun tricks of rollover, turn around, and have even crate trained. In my almost 30 years of life, I have been around so many types of dogs and it is always my goal to meet and connect and find a common ground with all. I have the patience, commitment, and I am confident that your dog or cat will be and feel safe and happy with me! I have left corporate America and I run a small business out of my home which means I am my own boss and can pick my own schedule! My goal is to have as much availability as possible so I can help as many families as possible. I have two dogs of my own who are on great routines and I would love to assist to help keep your friends on track as well while you may be out of the house at work or running errands, I have availability starting as early as 6 AM and can make it work if we need to go later in the day at night and I am available mostly every single day unless noted in my calendar! Currently, I have two dogs in my home who are very well behaved and get along great with others of any size. My dogs are crate trained, but are also safe to roam around the home and I would have no problem creating a dog at my house as well and walking them around so they can smell all aspects of my home. I have a large backyard, but it is not fenced in as my dogs are on the Invisible fence, however, this is no issue as I have no problem having a long lead for your dog to run and play with my dogs with my supervision in the yard! My home is open floor plan and over 3000 ft.² so there is plenty of room to have fun together!
About: I've taken care of pets from as earliest as birth and into their elderly years, since I was 8. My family would occasionally breed our American Akitas. I've trained them, bathed them, cleaned up after them, and administered medications. They are a ton of work, but always worth the effort when we saw them finally meet their forever homes. I am available for whatever service you need, except for boarding, most days of the week except Thursdays after 2 pm, Fridays, and Saturdays before 2 pm. I am unable to care for your pet at my residence. We have 5 dogs here currently and I wouldn't want to overwhelm your pet with so many new faces. I am more than willing to be as accommodating as needed to care for them in your home, walking them, or simply letting out for a potty break.
About: I’ve had pets especially dogs all my life. I’ve taken care of other dog for two weeks. I’m currently having two cats living with us. Pets are best thing to have! I’m currently working on call as substitute teacher. So I’d thought I could work on days I’m available to look after pets, dogs or cats. Take dogs for walk and feeding if need to. I have a backyard but not fenced. But take walk if need. Play with ball or toys. Giving lots of cuddles. Important making them feel comfortable and safe.
“Princess Blackie loved having Renee visit and walk with her. Princess Blackie was always happy to have Renee spend time with her. We will definitely request her to watch Blackie again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and cats as well. I’m a huge animal lover! I’ve had golden retrievers, pit bulls, Rottweilers, and a mini golden doodle. We currently have a 3 month old Golden Retriever! I’m currently a Stay at Home Mom to a 17. Month old little boy and a 3 month old Golden Retriever! So I’m available all the time! My son is a huge animal lover already and will be joining me on check ins and walks so please keep that in mind! Your pets safety is my first priority. They will get plenty of love and play time from myself and my son! You’re pet will be treated as if they’re my own!
About: I’m a guy who falls in love with dogs instantly. Don’t want them back? No worries! Dogs instantly want to be my best friend and I’ve never met a dog that I didn’t like or that didn’t like me. I work from home. My dogs are part of the family. I would take care of your dogs as if they were my own children. I have a doggy door and outside kennel for the dogs to use as needed. I’m also happy to take dogs on a walk and my wife is a super dog walker. We have two dogs-a Pomeranian who is all love and a lab who’s an old girl but who is the best dog you’ll ever meet. I understand dogs. How they communicate, how they operate. I know how to get them to develop good habits.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, and even bought a dog of my own 3 years ago and he’s the best ever! He’s super friendly with other dogs and plays well with others. I usually take him on walks mornings, midday, and evening time and in the summer I only give him a walk in the evening because he’s a Husky and it gets too hot for him during the day. Evenings are best time for him. I try to take him to the dog park at least a couple times a week, so you can count on your pup having some one on one time with another pup and having LOTS of fun. I have walked dogs for family/family friends since I was 14. I’ve dog sat too and fed and bathe them. I am a stay at home mother of two beautiful children (3yrs, and 8months) and I take them along on walks too. They love dogs! I am available during the week at any time! I have 1 male Siberian Husky, he’s 3yrs old. He’s fixed and is up to date on all his shots, he’s also super friendly and plays well with any type of dog and any size.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and truly treat every pet like my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to check in, feed, walk, and spend time with their pets while they’re at work or away on vacation. I’m a mom of two who works from home, which allows me to have a flexible and reliable schedule. I’m available for pet care between 8:00am–2:30pm and again from 4:00pm–8:00pm most days. Because I’m home based, I’m able to consistently show up on time, provide dependable care, and give your pets the attention they need during the day while you’re at work or away. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I always treat any pet with respect, care, and attention to detail. I follow all instructions closely, keep doors secured, and make sure your pet stays safe and comfortable at all times. I’m very attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, whether that means giving them space or extra attention. I also provide updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for just like they would with you 🫶🏻
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I've cared for my family's dog whenever they're out of town. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'm reliable, trustworthy, and attentive, and as a nursing student with healthcare experience and have previously worked in the criminal justice field for many years, I take responsibility seriously. You can count on me to provide loving care, regular updates, and treat your pets like they're part of my own family. Caring for pets fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I'm currently in nursing school and only work one day a week, which gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of availability for drop-in visits and dog walks. I enjoy spending time with animals and understand the importance of keeping them on their normal routine. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I'm committed to giving every pet the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow feeding instructions, provide fresh water, walks or playtime, clean up after them, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving pet owners peace of mind that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve been in the pet care industry since I was 18 years old! I started in dog daycares and ended up in the veterinary industry as a vet tech/assistant. I have since moved back home and plan on going back to school to get into human medicine, but would love to still spend time with animals! I’m currently going to school online, so I have a lot of availability! I would require just 24 hours notice in order to pet sit or walk your furry child! Unfortunately, I cannot have animals at my house besides my own. I have experience in pet sitting at others houses and I can also clean!

This was only our second time leaving our puppy and the first time boarding him, he's got a lot of energy and still very much a puppy so we wanted to make sure we found the right fit for him.

If we need a sitter in the future we will absolutely be checking Alyssa's availability first. ❤️”
