Highly-rated overnight sitters - Schenk-Atwood-Starkweather-Yahar
“Jessica is the best sitter I have ever had on Rover!!! She took great care of my Mickey and provided lots of updates throughout each day. Will definitely book with her again, my dog had a great time with her and her dogs!!”
“Margaret was beyond sweet and accommodating, she took excellent care of my senior pup and gave her plenty of attention, care, and exceptional feedback. We’re new to the area and will only book with her, she's earned a trusted client. Highly recommend Margaret for any pet sitting needs!”
“Pretzel has a great 2 week stay. Duane& Lauren took great care of him and he has lots of playtime and walks to keep him busy. Their place is warm and cozy even in the cold winter!”
“Highly recommended. We left our two fur babies with Derek and Yoki for an extended weekend, it was the first time they had been with a dog sitter that wasn’t family. They are small dogs (Pomeranians) and we were concerned with them being left with someone they didn’t know and being around bigger dogs. We received multiple pictures and updates daily. We feel they were were cared for.”
“I can't recommend Stephanie highly enough! She recently watched our dog, Hazel, and she was truly wonderful from start to finish. From the moment we dropped Hazel off, Stephanie provided excellent and frequent updates, including photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that Hazel was having a great time and felt completely comfortable in her care. Stephanie was incredibly reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely treated Hazel like her own family. Hazel came home tired, happy, and clearly well-loved. If you're looking for a trustworthy, loving, and professional sitter on Rover, book Stephanie—we certainly will be booking her again!”
“Suellen was available for last minute sitting for our dog. She is extremely caring and attentive. She did a wonderful job keeping him occupied and provided us with lots of updates throughout the weekend. We could tell he really enjoyed his time with her.”
“Edith sent many photos and kept me informed from the moment Ollie was dropped off until I picked him up. He was well taken care of and I would definitely ask her to watch him again.”
“Alex did an amazing job with Mini and Rogue! She provided me with daily updates/pics and she was very communicative. When I picked my girls up, I saw the joy they had staying with her, and I was really able to tell that she was taking great care of them. 1000000/10 will be booking with her again :D”
“Sofi took incredible care of our girl! She was always responsive and sent us frequent updates where I could see how happy Kiwi was. She is very knowledgeable about pet care and I would trust her with Kiwi anytime! Thank you again for giving so much love to Kiwi!!”
“Alexander and Hannah did a great job with Cannoli! They were flexible and understanding and tried to ensure she was as comfortable as possible during her stay. I appreciated that they allowed her to sleep in the bed with them to ease her anxiety about being in a new place.”
“Gracie just had her first stay with Emily and it went great. As an older, smaller dog I worry about how she might fit in with a new family. Emily made sure she got lots of attention and fit right in. Emily sent lots of pics which helped ease my anxiety about leaving Gracie. Gracie did great with Emily!”
“Jennifer watched Teddy for me overnight and did a great job. She was communicative, caring, and made me feel comfortable leaving him with her. Teddy was well taken care of, and I will definitely book with her again! She sent several pictures of him and I could tell he was a happy boy❤️”
“Korie took wonderful care of Dizzy! Her communication and updates were clear and she was flexible with pickup and drop off times. Would absolutely love for Dizzy to stay with Korie and Ozzy again.”
“Olivia watched my cat, Tony, for 8 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care alongside her two cats. I received daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Tony was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. 10/10!”
“Kaycee was very helpful at our meet and greet, we hung out in their yard for a bit and she explained their setup and routine. She sent pictures while Ollie was boarded, which is much appreciated, and accommodated Ollie when he needed company overnight.”
“Zara had a blast, definitely a safe and fun place for her to stay. She was very well cared for and we received updates while we were gone for almost a week.”
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. My family growing up never had less than 3 pets at a time so I've grown up loving and rescuing animals including taking care of outdoor feral cats,stray dogs, etc. I currently have two cats of my own and hope to have more in the future at the very least by fostering :) Besides when working my 9/5 or rover I spend most of my free time with my cats. I also keep a cat crate and food in my car in case I ever see any stray cats and I have a humane trap at home. I have raised puppies and kittens from 2 months old and have had elderly pets that have lived to be 19 years old so I have experience with lots of pets of different ages, breeds, and personality types. I've taken care of upwards of 7 cats all in the same household so I am also experienced with caring for multiple pets including households with multiple cats and also dogs. I also have experience to varying degrees with deer, rabbits, horses, chickens, quail, and fish. I think pets are family and best friends and I am excited to meet yours and give them lots of love and attention I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick For daycare or boarding for dogs I would prefer they are cat friendly but accommodations can be made for sure! Currrntl due to my job I can’t do morning drop ins or walks during the work week but can on weekends and can still do boardings. There are some afternoons where I occasionally have avilability and my availability is subject to change so please feel free to still message to ask :) I still do have lots of weekend free time too :) I’m happy to watch multi pet house holds and do daycare for multiple dogs if you have more than one! During meet ups I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick In my own household I would provide them with their own toys, food and water bowls, and take them for lots of walks if applicable. My pets and any animals here are allowed to be on the furniture like the couches and bed but I usually put a blanket and a small bed on the ground in case some babies feel more comfy with that. I am more than happy to also crate them!
“Lindsay was quick to respond to all my messages and made it easy to arrange drop off and pick up. She sent a number of photos of my dog and took her for a number of long walks, just what the dog needs to balance her abundance energy. I would highly recommend her and will use her again.”

Cat caregivers near you - Schenk-Atwood-Starkweather-Yahar
“I'm so thankful to Anna for watching my cat, Bella! Although fine on her own, Bella was recently prescribed daily medications which she graciously gave. More importantly, Bella seemed to enjoy her company, so much so that I may have been replaced as her favorite human. I will definitely be reaching out to Anna in the future!”
“she is the sweetest sitter for my cat Skipper. goes above and beyond and gives amazing reassurance and peace of mind. recommend Vanessa for anyone looking for a sitter :)”
“Katherine is always amazing when she comes to see my kitties. She always updates me with great photos and is great at giving colby his medication. I’ve used her several times now and highly recommend!!”
“Keely was great. Good communication and took wonderful pics of my cats during her visits while making sure everything was in order. Couldn’t have gone any smoother.”
“We hired Shannon for the first time to care for our three cats for close to 2 weeks— and we were so happy we did! Shannon is a funny and delightful human being and great at communicating her various funny observations about the cats and updating us on when she was coming over. Super responsible and just outstanding—Highly recommended!!!”
“Joan was amazing per usual. We were thrilled to get to work with her again. Joan did wonderfully watching over our two little floofy sons. We were very impressed with how happy they seemed and even more so by the fact that she braved the harsh, icy roads to feed and play with them. We will definitely be reaching out to her again and have nothing but the best things to say with regards to the care she provided. Very satisfied.”
“Tina does an amazing job with our girl, Stevie. She’s thorough, fun, and so knowledgeable with dog care. We always know Stevie is taken care of and happy when she is with Tina. And Tina does a little training when she checks in on Stevie which is so great!”
“This couple is great!! After the first time they took care of our cats, we knew we would book them again. (And we did!) They're on time and send multiple photos. Even our shy cat didn’t run away from them. Our outgoing cat was very happy to be petted, played with and fed while we were out of town. Thanks Nasimul and Nika!!”
“Lydia did a great job dropping in to take care of my cat. She had to give pills, kept me updated well, and sent pictures every time! My cat seemed happy when I returned and the house was well taken care of. Would hire again!”
“Darby did a fantastic job of watching my girls. She did a great job at following the directions I went over in the meet and greet, provided good updates about her visits, and my cats enjoyed her company (including the nervous one after she warmed up to Darby) during her time watching my cats.”
“My cat is very shy when I'm not around, but Alyssa does a great job of working within her comfort zone, and almost always gets my girl comfortable enough to come out for some attention and play time!”
“Keezieng's assistance was a lifesaver this holiday season. His politeness and kindness when meeting us and our cat Olivia was reassuring and he did a great job of updating us during his visits while we were away. We’re so grateful for the excellent care provided!”
“Brittany did a great job taking care of my three cats, including dealing with some inappropriate urination one of my cats was doing. She did an extra cleaning of the pine litter boxes which I really appreciated.”
About: I’ve had cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been helping care for them since I was 10 years old. From feeding and grooming to playtime and snuggles, caring for cats has always come naturally to me. I’m experienced with administering medications, including pills and topical treatments, and I understand the importance of gentle, stress-free handling. Whether your cat is playful or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home.
“Alexandria has watched our two cats twice now and has been a great, reliable sitter. She communicates well, sends lots of pictures, and provides helpful updates. I'll continue to use her in the future!”
“Kali was amazing! She was very clear in her communication and shared detailed updates and pics 😸 She regularly stayed longer than the 30 minutes and I was confident Buddy was well taken care of 😊 Definitely will book again!”
“Every time we leave for a weekend, I am so appreciative that I can visit family without worry for my cats in the back of mind. Clarie always sends great updates and pics and even goes out of her way to account for our scaredy cat that we don't expect her to see. Her playing with the cats has also inspired us to regularly make time for play!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Schenk-Atwood-Starkweather-Yahar
“My pup Popsicle looooves Cynthia! Cynthia is communicative and amazing, cares for her like family and gives thoughtful pupdates. Popsicle looks forward to seeing her every week!”
“My little Westie loves Suellen and her two sweet dogs. They treat her like one of their own. It's great for me to be able to drop her off for the day, knowing she'll have fun and be safe.”
About: I took care of my family's dog until I moved to college, and I really miss having a dog! Rover is perfect because it will allow me to satisfy my love for dogs while fitting with my schedule and helping you. I am also hoping to get a dog in the near future. I enjoy running and walking so having a dog with energy is not a problem as long as they are leash trained. I’m currently working from home full time. I can be flexible on when walks occur but am fairly busy between 8-5 and need some heads up to plan around meetings. I do not have a fenced in yard but will take your dog on frequent walks or as needed if you’re booking that service. I’m careful to follow instructions on how to get into your house for walks and lock up on the way out.
“Robert is one of my favorite Tover sitters. He is incredibly professional and takes good care of my little peanut, Ziva. Gives walk reports and sends a few pix during the day. Highly recommended; I have referred him a few others. He is a busy guy - book early! Thanks so much🐾♥️🐾.”
“Ben was phenomenal - helped us out in a pinch to provide fun and stimulating daycare for our puppy. Super professional, great at providing the right amount of stimulation/rest/play for our pup, and very communicative. 10/10 will definitely be bringing our boy to Ben again!!!”
“Angel was very accommodating with my last minute request and sent tons of photos throughout the day which I appreciated! Merlin had a blast with her dog Bell and her son! He came home tired & ready to rest which is always a nice bonus 😊 I would definitely rebook and recommend Angel for any dogs needs.”
“They did a marvelous job with our fur babies. We loved that they have a fenced in backyard. We usually do not like to leave our boys with sitters who have other dogs present; however, Biscuit was a gem along with the other dogs present our boys were relaxed when we picked them up. They send pictures to show how they are doing. Would definitely use this sitter again!”
“Briana is such a kind and empathetic individual! Although my doggy day care was last minute, I felt reassured that Semi was in good hands. Truly someone you can trust with your pups!”
“Wolfy had such a great day with Mary and her family. He can back very happy, and Mary sent several lovely photos of his time. Mary was also flexible with me when my plans changed after booking, which was so appreciated.”
About: With 25 years of experience in pet sitting and dog walking, I’ve built strong, trusting relationships with pets and their owners. I understand the unique needs of each pet, and I’m dedicated to providing loving care, whether it’s a walk in the park or quiet time at home. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priority. A typical day in my care includes plenty of love, fun, and attention. We’ll go for a walk around the neighborhood, or explore the fenced-in yard for playtime. Whether it’s feeding, medication, or cuddles, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and at home all day long. I prioritize your pet's safety and well-being above all else. I excel at creating a calm, secure, and trusting environment where pets feel at ease. Whether it’s ensuring they’re comfortable in their own space, taking extra care during walks, or following specific routines, I treat every pet like family. You can trust that your pet will be in safe hands, enjoying personalized care while you’re away.
“We are not from Madison, but just in town for one evening. Meghan’s communication was excellent from the beginning to the end. We talked about our situation and what we needed for care later in the evening. Meghan provided fantastic care for Moose - playing lots of fetch and helping him with his nervous separation. She took and shared lots of photos and brought him on 3 walks. Her profile was thoughtful and drew us in - we knew she would be the perfect fit. We are thankful for her hospitality and letting us park our car in front of her house while we were in town for a football game. If we are in the Madison area again, we will hire Meghan to hang out with Moose. Thank you! ??”
“Hi Elizabeth, I just wanted to say thank you for taking such great care of Fox! I really appreciated the updates while I was away. It’s clear you gave her lots of attention and care, and I could tell she was happy and comfortable with you. I’d absolutely trust you again and would happily recommend you to others. Thanks again!”
“We are looking to find someone to board Ollie with for weekends. To start him out slow (he has separation anxiety), we had a Meet and Greet, a short (3hr) stay and later, a full day stay. Julie was clear that her dog Zilla's comfort with Ollie was a priority, which I fully support. I won't want to trust my dog to someone who isn't looking out for ALL the dogs involved. Julie was very responsive with messages, showed us around her home and yard and was generally very calm and patient. While the dogs didn't end up getting along well enough for this to work out long term, Ollie warmed up to Julie and was definitely as calm as I've seen him after being left.”
About: I have been caring for dogs since 2013, starting when I was just 9 years old! In 2010, we rescued our first dog, Belle, a rat terrier. In 2021, we adopted another senior dog, Destiny, a miniature poodle, to keep Belle company. Sadly, they both passed away due to old age in 2024. The following summer, my family and I realized how incomplete our lives felt without dogs, so we decide to rescue two more senior dogs, Beanie and Pam! I am heartbroken to say Pam passed away May 17, 2026. My family believes that senior dogs are often overlooked and forgotten, but I love dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I look forward to the opportunity to take care of your furry friend! I will be taking asynchronous summer classes starting in mid-June. I’m hoping to start working as a PCW twice a week. I’m also waiting to hear back from research/phlebotomy positions. However, as of now, I am completely free all day every day! Studio apartment! Can take outside for walks etc. I want to ensure I’m home the whole time since it will be a new environment! Thank you for considering me as your dog sitter! I look forward to the opportunity to care for your furry friend.
About: I've had dogs ever since I was a little kid and would do anything for them. I've also worked with dogs for the past 2 years. I have a Rat Terrier of my own and will make sure to treat your dog like they're my own. I’m used to all kinds of dogs whether it be age, energy level, or condition as I’ve had a mix of all at my job and growing up! I'm a student with lots of breaks between my classes meaning I’m usually only gone for less than two hours and I have lots of free time on the weekends. Max I’ll be gone is four hours, but that rarely happens. My dog is very friendly and energetic, but also knows when a dog doesn’t want to play. She’s very silly and loves to sleep! I live near the lake and can take your dog out often as there’s a nice trail along the lake and campus is pedestrian friendly. I live in an apartment, so I’m looking to host dogs who are comfortable in a quieter environment. Since I share walls with neighbors, I’m best suited for dogs who aren’t big barkers. That being said, I love dogs with a personality! A little energy and playfulness is totally welcome, I just ask that barking is kept to a minimum. Dogs are allowed to free roam around the apartment whether I’m with them or gone. If your puppy has energy to burn but knows when to settle down, we’ll get along great! In your own home I will take on any type of dog with any energy level! I will make sure to care for your dog while you are away just as you care for them while you’re in your house. A dogs safety and their comfort are a top priority for me! I also have a fenced in patio with dog grass if your pup needs a quick potty break!
“Nicole and her kids were great. They were very kind and caring with my dog snooper. They have two other dogs that of course want to protect their owner .. but Nicole was careful to keep them on leash or contained during meet n greet. She thoughtfully considered my apprehension about leaving snooper with 3 dogs (they had another for day care I learned later) and figured out ways to keep the dogs separated. The kids were so loving to little snooper I think he had a lot of private attention! Nicole sets a great example for dog care for her kids—- as did her father who was around during meet and greet. So nice to see children take such loving interest in animals.”
“We are very grateful to Tracy. She took care of our adolescent dog with his first experience with daycare. We had a sudden family emergency that required someone to look after our pub. She was open and communicative which was very helpful. Would recommend to others.”

“Anna has been an angel over the last 6 months! Come rain or shine, she shows up on time with a great attitude and my dog and cat both adore her. She's committed, communicative, and professional! I couldn't recommend her more”
“Alexandria is amazing with my dog and provides great updates each day after their daily walk. She’s reliable, shows up on time, and spends the full time. I feel so lucky to have found her!”
“So very happy with walks with Carley. She is solid, confident, relaxed and positive. I have a dog who can be challenging (reactive) and she is more than up to the task!”
“Shannon is the best. SO communicative and quick to respond. Very sweet and respectful. I couldn’t feel more comfortable with our Josephine in her care. I highly recommend Shannon. We are very grateful to find such an attentive and compassionate dog walker.”
“Ernst is super friendly, responsive and knowledgeable. We have 70 lbs adolescent pup who has a lot of energy to give. Ernst is great at keeping our pup in line. I already notice an improvement in our pet’s loose leash walking!”
About: I know firsthand how hard it can be to find reliable care for your pets—I have my own pup, Reggie, and often help care for the dogs and cats of friends, neighbors, and family. My partner and I would love to help look after your furry family members so you can enjoy stress-free time away. I work from home 3 days a week so I have a very flexible schedule. I am able to do morning, evening and local drop-ins at lunch. I am very experienced with managing reactive dogs on walks as well as managing emergency situations. With clear instructions, I'm happy to accommodate any of your pets quirks!
“Kali was a wonderful caregiver for my King Charles cavalier. I was out of town for a few days and Kali supplemented his walks during the day. He flourished under her care and I was kept up to date on his status and had no worries whatsoever”
About: Hi, I’m Ruby! I'm a Humane Society volunteer and I’ve been house sitting and taking care of animals for about six years. I’m a college student planning to study animal behavior and marine biology, and I’m using this opportunity to get more hands on experience with animals while saving up for school. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, chickens, goats, horses, birds, fish, and more, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals and care needs. I take pet care seriously and always do my best to follow routines and make animals feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. If you’re looking for someone responsible, experienced, and passionate about animals, I’d be happy to help! I’m currently a college student and in the fall and spring have classes 4 days a week (Mon-Thurs) in the mornings and in the afternoons. I am very flexible other than that! I am here to assist following the usual routines of the animals in my care and to ensure that they are safe, healthy, and happy.
About: Experienced house and pet sitter with eight 5-star references out of 9 sits I booked through Trusted Housesitters in 2025-26 (link below). I have had cats my whole adult life and fell in love with dogs while spending time with my siblings' dogs. I am now a fully converted dog lover who hopes to get my face licked by every passing puppy. Down-to-earth Midwest woman with lots of common sense. I was a homeowner for almost 25 years. I am not one of those people who looks at my phone constantly so your pet will get my attention, not just my presence. On long walks I may listen to a book on tape or podcast with only one ear bud so I am always situationally aware. No substance use or bad habits other than knitting and chocolate. I am in the process of getting direct testimonials but below are reviews copied from THS website (copy and paste link to view these live on the site.) ........?promo=RAF908909&utm_campaign=house-and-pet-sitters&utm_medium=house-and-pet-sitters&utm_source=copy Carol, Wheat Ridge, CO · 18 Jan - 02 Feb 2026 Christina was wonderful with Zappa. She sent daily photos and texts. She tried everything to get him to play, moved his “step” to her bed so he could sleep with her and spent most of her time with him. She left the house spotless and even lef5 a pot of homemade soup for us. Would highly recommend. Melanie, Verona, WI · 07 Jan - 16 Jan 2026 Christina was truly wonderful!! She gave so much love to each of my four babies, and they absolutely adored her company. She took my doggos for walks and sent me videos, they were so happy and excited! My two cats were super in love with her too and slept and cuddled with her. She was very organized, communicative, self-sufficient, and left my house in impeccable shape. She has a great sense of humor too! :) Thanks a million again Christina for your super precious help and for all the love you gave to my dearest precious fur babies. Hope we meet soon again! Melanie Verona, WI · 31 Dec 2025 - 01 Jan 2026 Christina is an amazing pet sitter! She is very thoughtful about pet care and clearly LOVES animals. She took super great care of my cats who immediately felt at ease with her and slept with her, even if one of my two cats is pretty shy. She was attentionate, loving with them and left my house in a great shape! She also sent me pictures which I greatly appreciated. Thanks a million again Christina for you super precious help! Melanie Annabel, Denver, CO · 26 Nov - 03 Dec 2025 Christina was great- Nelly was obviously very content when I got home and basically ignored me for the first day- always a good sign! She was very self sufficient and I didn’t worry at all while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her for future sitters! Emily Boulder, CO · 20 Nov - 26 Nov 202 We are so grateful for the care Christina provided to our dog, cat, and home. She went out of her way to meet with us in person before the sit which gave us peace of mind. Our shy cat warmed up instantly to her (thanks to the gifts Christina brought her) and we appreciated the pictures and videos she sent us. The dog got lots of walks and was well cared for. She was thoughtful and careful with our home and was willing to adjust her schedule at the last minute during the final day of her sit. She was communicative throughout. We’d welcome Christina back any time. Elaine, Dallas, TX · 30 Aug - 08 Oct 2025 It was a pleasure to have Christina at my house in Dallas for 5 weeks. She was organized before and during the sit and responded promptly to communication. The true sign of a good sitter is when my cat ignores me when I get home, and Duffy was pretty indifferent to my return! I know that he got lots of attention from Christina. She sent photos of him, and even bought him some new toys, which was very thoughtful. She also watered my 9tiny) yard, which i appreciated during an unusually hot September-october. Suzanne, Evergreen, CO · 12 Aug - 19 Aug 2025 Christina was wonderful. She checked in and was very responsible with the dogs. She was also very flexible!! James, Madison, WI · 18 Jun - 14 Jul 2025 Christina was amazing from the initial contact, right the way through to the visit. Christina was fantastic in both her communication, cleanliness respectfulness of the house, and (most importantly) looking after our 3 cats. In speaking with her prior to the visit and her care during the housesit, as well as all the pictures and videos we received while we were away, Christina was the perfect person to take care of our fur babies. I am available for day-time visits, or overnight care. Digital nomad so I am around a lot during the day, with a flexible schedule so I can meet your pet's needs first. I will keep tabs on them, put reminders for scheduled events on my phone, and check in with them frequently outside of scheduled care, and will contact the pet owner with any and all questions. I'm good at reading their cues, love to snuggle and play, I'm happy to have them sleep with me if they prefer. I'm strict about following owner's rules and instructions. I prefer to learn a little bit about your pet's personality, quirks, likes and dislikes to provide better care--and so I can tell quickly if something is a bit off. I will communicate with you as much or little as you like, happy to send pictures. I like to be able to ask questions to make sure that I understand your pet and its needs as well as your house and its needs.
About: I’m an incoming veterinary student and pet owner. I’ve grown up taking care of my cat and dog and love spending my time with animals. I have worked as a veterinary assistant for the past 3 years. Daily dog walks are an important part of my routine and I have a flexible schedule. I love meeting new people and animals on the island! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and am an active person. I also keep my dog leashed and am amenable to dog’s specific needs.
“Patrycja was a fantastic and professional caretaker for our dog Theo. Patrycja went above and beyond our expectations to give Theo great care and exercise, and did so consistently until we moved to a neighborhood.”
About: Since I work from home, I'm available all day, which means your dog is never left alone for long. I bring real, hands-on experience: time working at a dog kennel, raising a 120-lb Saint Bernard from a puppy, and years of sitting and walking dogs for family. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and know how to keep them on a steady routine. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. For boarding, I structure my days around feeding routines, potty breaks, walks, and downtime so dogs can settle in comfortably. For drop-ins and house sitting, I’m mindful of maintaining your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. Dogs staying in my home are hosted in a peaceful, organized environment. I focus on one family at a time to keep the atmosphere low stress. When caring for dogs in their own home, I respect your space and follow all care instructions carefully.
About: I'm not just walking your dogs or checking on your cats; I provide a nurturing service by learning the personality of your pet, observing their behavior and relaying any unusual interactions. I cater to any special needs your pets may have. I have experience working with animals who were previously in abusive homes and now learning how to receive love, attention, and care. I grew up with 7 dogs and a cat. I spent a lot of my childhood rolling around on the ground with my dogs and talking to them as if they could understand what I was saying. I love animals and most of the time prefer their company over most. I love finding animals outside and talking to them. I have a very deep sensitivity when it comes to animals. I will always burry a dead animal that I find outside. I will even pull over while driving if I see a dead animal on the street so that I can move it and give it a burial. I would love to have an animal sanctuary someday where I take in all the animals and care for them until they are ready to be released. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and give them lots of love and affection. I have a very open and flexible schedule. I would like to have something consistent and routine but I am available for last minute needs if necessary. I care for my own cat as if she is my baby, and she acts very much like a baby. I sometimes need to hold her in one hand while I cook with the other. Pets, to me, are not property, they are part of the family and deserve to be treated with love, respect, and patience.
About: I've helped out at a shelter for a large chunk of my life before I moved for college, taking care of dogs and cats. I have some experience with basic training as well. I'm currently in college so my schedule changes with my classes, and outside of school i'm usually hanging out with my cats but I'd be happy to share that love with your pets as well. I try and keep any pet in my care safe, even if I'm only giving them a walk or checking in on them. I care for any pets just like they are my own.

“Margaret was beyond sweet and accommodating, she took excellent care of my senior pup and gave her plenty of attention, care, and exceptional feedback. We’re new to the area and will only book with her, she's earned a trusted client. Highly recommend Margaret for any pet sitting needs!”
“Pretzel has a great 2 week stay. Duane& Lauren took great care of him and he has lots of playtime and walks to keep him busy. Their place is warm and cozy even in the cold winter!”
“Highly recommended. We left our two fur babies with Derek and Yoki for an extended weekend, it was the first time they had been with a dog sitter that wasn’t family. They are small dogs (Pomeranians) and we were concerned with them being left with someone they didn’t know and being around bigger dogs. We received multiple pictures and updates daily. We feel they were were cared for.”
“I can't recommend Stephanie highly enough! She recently watched our dog, Hazel, and she was truly wonderful from start to finish. From the moment we dropped Hazel off, Stephanie provided excellent and frequent updates, including photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that Hazel was having a great time and felt completely comfortable in her care. Stephanie was incredibly reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely treated Hazel like her own family. Hazel came home tired, happy, and clearly well-loved. If you're looking for a trustworthy, loving, and professional sitter on Rover, book Stephanie—we certainly will be booking her again!”
“Suellen was available for last minute sitting for our dog. She is extremely caring and attentive. She did a wonderful job keeping him occupied and provided us with lots of updates throughout the weekend. We could tell he really enjoyed his time with her.”
“Alex did an amazing job with Mini and Rogue! She provided me with daily updates/pics and she was very communicative. When I picked my girls up, I saw the joy they had staying with her, and I was really able to tell that she was taking great care of them. 1000000/10 will be booking with her again :D”
“Alexander and Hannah did a great job with Cannoli! They were flexible and understanding and tried to ensure she was as comfortable as possible during her stay. I appreciated that they allowed her to sleep in the bed with them to ease her anxiety about being in a new place.”
“Gracie just had her first stay with Emily and it went great. As an older, smaller dog I worry about how she might fit in with a new family. Emily made sure she got lots of attention and fit right in. Emily sent lots of pics which helped ease my anxiety about leaving Gracie. Gracie did great with Emily!”
“Jennifer watched Teddy for me overnight and did a great job. She was communicative, caring, and made me feel comfortable leaving him with her. Teddy was well taken care of, and I will definitely book with her again! She sent several pictures of him and I could tell he was a happy boy❤️”
“Korie took wonderful care of Dizzy! Her communication and updates were clear and she was flexible with pickup and drop off times. Would absolutely love for Dizzy to stay with Korie and Ozzy again.”
“Kaycee was very helpful at our meet and greet, we hung out in their yard for a bit and she explained their setup and routine. She sent pictures while Ollie was boarded, which is much appreciated, and accommodated Ollie when he needed company overnight.”
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. My family growing up never had less than 3 pets at a time so I've grown up loving and rescuing animals including taking care of outdoor feral cats,stray dogs, etc. I currently have two cats of my own and hope to have more in the future at the very least by fostering :) Besides when working my 9/5 or rover I spend most of my free time with my cats. I also keep a cat crate and food in my car in case I ever see any stray cats and I have a humane trap at home. I have raised puppies and kittens from 2 months old and have had elderly pets that have lived to be 19 years old so I have experience with lots of pets of different ages, breeds, and personality types. I've taken care of upwards of 7 cats all in the same household so I am also experienced with caring for multiple pets including households with multiple cats and also dogs. I also have experience to varying degrees with deer, rabbits, horses, chickens, quail, and fish. I think pets are family and best friends and I am excited to meet yours and give them lots of love and attention I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick For daycare or boarding for dogs I would prefer they are cat friendly but accommodations can be made for sure! Currrntl due to my job I can’t do morning drop ins or walks during the work week but can on weekends and can still do boardings. There are some afternoons where I occasionally have avilability and my availability is subject to change so please feel free to still message to ask :) I still do have lots of weekend free time too :) I’m happy to watch multi pet house holds and do daycare for multiple dogs if you have more than one! During meet ups I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick In my own household I would provide them with their own toys, food and water bowls, and take them for lots of walks if applicable. My pets and any animals here are allowed to be on the furniture like the couches and bed but I usually put a blanket and a small bed on the ground in case some babies feel more comfy with that. I am more than happy to also crate them!
“Lindsay was quick to respond to all my messages and made it easy to arrange drop off and pick up. She sent a number of photos of my dog and took her for a number of long walks, just what the dog needs to balance her abundance energy. I would highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“Finny had a blast! I got updates every day and I could see how happy and content he was while I was on vacation. I was very comfortable knowing he was safe and having a great time, and when he got home he was good and tired. Thank you so much! I would be super happy to bring him back and would highly recommend.”
“Alicia was so good with my pup - she sent tons of pictures and gave updates every day! She made an effort to learn about our routine at home and replicate it. My pup clearly enjoyed her stay and was comfortable the whole time. Alicia was so kind and accommodating!”
“This was our first time leaving our pup with a sitter. I really appreciate how cared for my pup was during her stay with Lauren. And I also appreciated all of the updates and pictures throughout the day. It kept us at ease knowing our pup was in a happy, loving environment. We will definitely use Lauren again in the near future! Thank you, Lauren!”
“Jesse was a great sitter for our 70 lb pup! She had a great time with him and Lola at the nearby dog park and we were kept up-to-date on how she was doing with pictures and messages.”
