“We needed care for our new dog and Edith was very welcoming. She had us over to do a meet and greet prior to our dog’s first visit which put us at ease. During his visit she gave us updates and photos which helped us know he was doing well and having a good time. She communicates well and has a lovely home that our dog enjoyed going to. We look forward for to using her again.”
“Olivia is amazing!!! Our Nutka stay with Olivia for a week. This was Nutka’s first time away from us which may have been difficult at her 4 years of age. Olivia created adjustment meetings to ensure Nutka was happy and transitioned well. It worked! Nutka loved being with Olivia! Words to describe Olivia include: loving, thoughtful, intelligent, caring, and dependable. We are definitely returning and highly recommend Olivia to anyone!”
“Thanks so much for always taking such great care of Ollie! I truly appreciate knowing he's in good hands, happy and snuggled while I'm away. ❤️”
“Finn had a wonderful time with Duane and Lauren. They took such good care of Finn, kept him happy, busy and excercised. Im so grateful! Will book again soon!”
“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!”
“Fabulous! Mack gave her 4 paws up and he would have given her more but he only has 4 paws. He has been online trying one to buy me more airline trips so he can go back to Steph and live the good life. Can’t praise her enough. Deb Spencley”
“Korie was amazing with Ollie! She was great to communicate with and gave Ollie so many snuggles while he was there. She also sent pics and updates throughout the stay which I really appreciate. Highly recommend!!”
“Jessica was wonderful and super friendly. My dog Bell stayed for a few days and we got the cutest picture updates. Her dogs are so well behaved and Bell was so happy she had friends to vacation with. She came home and slept the rest of the night! Would book again and will recommend her to others!”
“Mary and her family were absolutely wonderful sitters for Grizzy! They took great care of him during a cold snap, making sure he was warm and comfortable. Mary sent wonderful updates and absolutely adorable pictures, and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Estrella loved going to Sarah's house! She always has a fun time playing with Sarah's dogs and she met a new friend in the regular daycare dog they host. We got lots of adorable pictures and videos and Estrella came home tired and happy!”
“Margaret took excellent care of our new rescue for a 2 day boarding. She was super easy to communicate with and responded quickly, sent regular updates, pictures, and videos, and clearly goes the extra mile to make sure your dog is well cared for. We will 100% be booking with her in the future for any dog sitting needs!”
“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❤️”
“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”
“Yoki and Derek were great with Ziggy and Zoey, who were staying overnight away from me for the first time in their lives! They were very patient with my pups and generously shared photos throughout the duration of the dog’s stay.”
“Lindsay took great care of my dog, Taydo. Long walks, snoozes on her couch, and photos to keep me updated. I believe LIndsay to be completely trustworthy which is really important for a pet sitter.”
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!

“Brittany was kind, friendly, and great at communicating. She paid attention to details and even offered to help with extras beyond the cats. I’d recommend her to anyone needing a reliable sitter.”
“Annmarie was very communicative and clearly a pet lover! She did a great job keeping the different food needs of our cats straight, and she had no problem administering eye drops to one of our cats. We will definitely rebook her in the future.”
“Elizabeth was so great and accommodating!! Prompt communication and did a fabulous job with my cat. She provided a peace of mind while I was away.”
“Jen was wonderful as always. She truly came through in my time of need to care for my cat. She was extremely flexible and gracious when I added days at the last minute. Jen is reliable and great with communication. Don't hesitate, book her!”
“My cat is super skittish and shy, but Alyssa did a great job trying to reason with him and giving him the time and space he needs to feel comfortable! I'd definitely recommend her to any cat owner!”
“Vanessa was absolutely wonderful! Great communicator — with people and pets alike. Very attentive to my kitty and spent time laying on the ground and meeting him where he was to earn trust and make him comfortable. Definitely recommend!!”
“Samantha was wonderful! She was great with communication and left me feeling totally confident leaving my cat in her care. Would recommend and rebook with her again in a heartbeat!”
“Hailey was amazing with my two cats! From the photos she shared, I could tell that they were completely happy and comfortable with her. She sent detailed reports and lots of photos, which gave me peace of mind that the kitties were doing well while I was away. Thank you, Hailey!”
“Carly took care of Chester for 1 week as drop-in sitter. My cat looks healthy and handsome as ever. I arrive with a chatty cat greeting me and I get it. I will book Carly again in the future because she not only took care of my cat’s needs (spoiled-prince) but she also respected my place and she is trustworthy and professional.”
“Taylor did an amazing job with my cat Winry and I can't recommend booking with her enough. She gave daily updates and photos and stayed positive and patient when my cat was feeling shy. Plus she went above and beyond in many ways including cutting Winry's nails, even giving some advice on what strategies she used. As a rookie cat owner this was super helpful and helped me better care for my cat. Taylor is the best!”
“Alexandria was very attentive and nice when we did our meet and greet. Our cats are high maintenance (multiple food additives, a very picky eater, etc.), but Alexandria took care of it all. They even were able to give my one cat his pill and administered his inhaler, which they said they have never done before. It can be a little daunting, so I really appreciated they were willing to give it a shot and did so successfully. They sent lots of photos and even did the dishes before they left, which was definitely not an expectation. They noticed one of the microchip feeders stopped working right, and immediately messaged me and did all the steps to try and get it fixed. I made an oopsie and didnt add that I needed Alexandria to check in on the weekend. They were able to catch that and checked in with me to make sure someone was coming. I didnt have anyone, but they were able to make 2 hour long check ins for the whole weekend. I appreciate Alexandria's thouroughness, attentiveness, and the small extra things they did to make my cats as comfortable as possible for the entire week we were gone. We greatly appreciate you, Alexandria!”
“Stacey is the best cat sitter I've ever used! I had to leave the country for a month, and she took excellent care of my cat. I received several pictures daily and detailed updates, which reassured me he was in good hands. Even during a building fire alarm, she visited him to ensure his safety.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Megan! She takes fantastic care of my cat and sends lots pictures with her daily updates. It puts my mind at ease to know that he is in such good hands when I’m away!”
About: I grew up with dogs and miss having them in my life dearly! I have experience, walking, feeding and bathing dogs. I have experience with them all — from tiny schnauzers to giant goldendoodles that pull you along — and I would love to meet your furry friend! I have a full-time job so I’m available in the evenings and weekends for dog walking and visits. I could potentially take a calm doggo to work with me for pet sitting during the day, and I could also do early morning walks or visits when needed! When not in a fenced-in yard or dog park, I keep dogs on a leash to keep them safe. I can also adapt to your practices such as putting the dog in a harness, getting them into a crate, or closing certain doors when needed.
“Christina was amazing!!! Offered for us to come take a look at her place before the boarding!! Was very flexible with drop off/pickup!! Made sure to ask questions about sky and her needs to make her as comfortable as possible!! Sent lots of pictures and updates and did was great about making sure sky was eating!”
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!
“Sarah as always took great care of our cat! She is very communicative and always sends photos. We are always very happy when traveling to know our girl is in good hands!”
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.
“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!”

“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!”
“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!”
“Edith is your dream sitter. She posts daily photos and updates of your pet. She obviously loves what she does. She is a lovely soul and my Mimi, who can be shy, had her tail up in the photos which made me feel reassured that she was in a safe, loving environment.”
“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.”
“Julie let me know a new dog would be present at the same time as my dog, and she made sure to attempt to make introduce successful with a 3rd dog. She let me know she was able to keep dogs in separate areas as needed, let dogs have space from each other, and make sure my pup was safe and comfortable.”
“My 7-month-old Jazzy Girl whines in excitement when we arrive at Suellen's, and once out of the car, she races up the steps, eager to be with her friends, Suellen's dogs, Mia & Wes. They all play well together.”
About: We have been loving and caring for dogs for a long time. Big and small dogs; young and old. Our son and 7 year old dog are welcoming I am currently working from home and Bryan works part time. Our son is home schooled at this time, therefore, we have time and energy to help other dogs and other families We have a large yard in a quiet neighborhood; part of our yard is fenced and other part is open for additional exercise. We also walk our dog daily.
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.
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!
“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!”
About: Happy, loving, patient and playful pupsitters who have experience working as kennel manager, dogsitter, and lifelong dog lovers. We love and care for all creatures big and small and happen to love dogs as though they were our own children (and they are.) My partner Jessie and I share all dog duties in our house. Someone is around the house every day of the week, as Jessie often works from home, and our two pups are always home. We strive to never leave our own pups alone for no more than 4 hours so there's always time and room for bathroom breaks. And if the weather is nice we leave the backyard door open for them to roam free (in a fenced area). It is the most ideal place for a dog to have room to move about, activities to entertain, and loving caretakers to help them live their best life. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space to roam, along with healthy wildlife distractions, fun toys, plenty of snacks, and generous room inside the house for everyone to feel cozy, warm or cool, and always nurtured.
“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.”

“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!”
“Elizabeth was great with our dog Cash giving us updates with pictures and giving him nice long walks. Will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her.”
“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.”

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: I have a genuine love for animals. I proudly volunteer at the Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin, where I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. That extra experience means I bring not just walks but patience, training awareness, and heart to every visit. Your pet isn’t just on my schedule, they’re part of my pack. 🐾 I work part-time and offer dog walking and drop-in visits for any type of animal during my off hours during the week. Weekends are usually pretty open! Safety, trust, and comfort are at the heart of everything I do. I care for my own pets in a calm, loving environment and treat every animal in my care as if they were part of my family. You can trust that your pets will be safe, respected, and genuinely loved. Their well-being always comes first. 🐾
“Alexandria has been walking my dog, Louie, for several weeks now since I’ve been recovering from knee surgery. She’s reliable, communicative, and has been great with his occasional leash reactivity. I’m happy to have Alexandria walking my dog while I can’t!”
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!
“Madi is easy to communicate with, shows up to walk our dog, Milo, when she says she is going to, and gives feedback right away. We’re very happy with her and would recommend her to anyone.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of genuine care, patience, and attention I bring to every pet / watch. I treat each dog or cat like my own, paying close attention to their routines, comfort, and personality so they feel safe and relaxed. I'm reliable, flexible, and always make communication a priority - sending updates, photos, and checking in so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, calm companionship, or extra patience, I tailor my care to make sure they're happy, comfortable, and well-loved. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule. I'm available most days and nights, with the only set commitments being my night classes on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-9 PM. Outside of that, I'm fully free to do drop-ins, walks, daycare, or longer stays. Because my schedule is so open, I'm able to give pets consistent attention, keep them on their normal routine, and spend plenty of quality time with them. Whether you need early mornings, afternoons, or weekends, I can usually accommodate it. In My Home: When pets stay with me, I make sure they feel safe, welcomed, and comfortable from the moment they arrive. I keep a calm, clean environment, follow their normal feeding and potty schedule, and give them plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. I always create a cozy spot for them to rest and make sure they never feel overwhelmed or alone. I also keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and any special needs so they feel at home and well cared for. In Clients' Homes: When I'm caring for pets in their own space, I stick closely to the routines they already know-feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any training or rules you've set. I treat your home with respect, keep everything tidy, and make sure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I give lots of updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how things are going. Whether I'm hosting or visiting, I focus on making pets feel loved, secure, and understood while keeping their routine consistent and stress-free.

I also have a cat of my own in my hometown and love to spoil her!! I’m a recent UW grad in between jobs, meaning I have PLENTY of time on my hands to play with your pets!! I am super communicative and notoriously flexible schedule wise - for I want to be with your pets as much as possible!! My home offers a large open concept for your pets to frolic around! My current schedule allows me to be really good with feeding and potty schedules! I do not have a fence, but I will spend my time outside with your animals in my spacious yard and nearby walking paths and parks!

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!

“Thanks so much for always taking such great care of Ollie! I truly appreciate knowing he's in good hands, happy and snuggled while I'm away. ❤️”
“Finn had a wonderful time with Duane and Lauren. They took such good care of Finn, kept him happy, busy and excercised. Im so grateful! Will book again soon!”
About: Hi! I’m Ayomi, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. I’ve had the joy of working with dogs of all ages and personalities from energetic puppies still learning the world to older dogs who move a little slower and need some extra love. I approach pet care the same way I would care for my own patient, present, and with a whole lot of heart. I take the time to learn each dog’s unique needs and routines because I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their people are away. Whether your dog needs long walks, gentle play, quiet companionship, or help with medication or anxiety, I’m here to meet them where they are and give them the attention they deserve. I truly love building trust with both pets and their humans. You can expect regular updates, happy photos, and the reassurance that your pup is in loving, capable hands. Every visit is a chance to create a little joy and comfort for your furry friendcand that’s a responsibility I take seriously and gratefully. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I often work from home in my downtown Madison apartment. I love taking long walks around town or heading to Picnic Point for a quiet hike, so having a pup along for the journey just makes it that much better. I usually walk about a mile or two a day, but I’m happy to adjust based on your furry friend’s energy level and needs. My schedule is flexible, and with at least a week's notice, I can make sure I’m fully available to give your dog the time and attention they deserve. I’ve always loved traveling, so pet sitting is a fun and fulfilling way for me to enjoy the company of dogs while I’m still settling down. Whether it’s a weekend stay or daily walks, I’m excited to share my time! Creating a safe and comforting environment is my top priority, whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours. I treat every dog like family—with patience, attentiveness, and a whole lot of love. In my downtown apartment, pets are kept in a clean, calm space free of hazards, with plenty of room to stretch, nap, or play. I don’t have any other pets, so your dog will get my full attention and care without distractions. When I’m in your home, I’m always respectful of your space and routines, making sure your dog stays comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I follow all care instructions closely and provide regular updates so you know exactly how your pup is doing. I believe trust is built through consistency, communication, and genuine care and that’s what I bring to every visit. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just keeping your pup company, I’m committed to making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and right at home.
“Lucy had a great weekend with Jennifer! She got along great with Oscar. Tick season is pretty bad this year and Jennifer made sure to look over Lucy and keep her tick-free!”
“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!”
“Fabulous! Mack gave her 4 paws up and he would have given her more but he only has 4 paws. He has been online trying one to buy me more airline trips so he can go back to Steph and live the good life. Can’t praise her enough. Deb Spencley”
“Korie was amazing with Ollie! She was great to communicate with and gave Ollie so many snuggles while he was there. She also sent pics and updates throughout the stay which I really appreciate. Highly recommend!!”
“Kaycee and Robert are the best! They took such good care of our little dog, who has never spent time away from us. They took him on walks, played with him, and kept him warm and safe. Our dog loved Tank (their dog) and the kids. He had a blast with this lovely family. They are kind and warm people who took excellent care of our dog. It is evident that they are expert dog owners who have fostered and trained many dogs. We will definitely book them next time we leave town. We highly recommend them!”
“Jessica was wonderful and super friendly. My dog Bell stayed for a few days and we got the cutest picture updates. Her dogs are so well behaved and Bell was so happy she had friends to vacation with. She came home and slept the rest of the night! Would book again and will recommend her to others!”
“Estrella loved going to Sarah's house! She always has a fun time playing with Sarah's dogs and she met a new friend in the regular daycare dog they host. We got lots of adorable pictures and videos and Estrella came home tired and happy!”
“Margaret took excellent care of our new rescue for a 2 day boarding. She was super easy to communicate with and responded quickly, sent regular updates, pictures, and videos, and clearly goes the extra mile to make sure your dog is well cared for. We will 100% be booking with her in the future for any dog sitting needs!”
“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❤️”
“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”
“Yoki and Derek were great with Ziggy and Zoey, who were staying overnight away from me for the first time in their lives! They were very patient with my pups and generously shared photos throughout the duration of the dog’s stay.”
“Michelle (and family) took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town for 2 days, even keeping her calm during a storm. Great communication, too!”
“Lindsay took great care of my dog, Taydo. Long walks, snoozes on her couch, and photos to keep me updated. I believe LIndsay to be completely trustworthy which is really important for a pet sitter.”
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!
