“Definitely the beginning of a beautiful partnership. I’m so grateful to have found someone who takes such wonderful care of my puppy. The updates and photos gave me peace of mind, and I look forward to booking with you again.”
“Monique was wonderful!! She kept up great communication and photos. My dog has separation anxiety and it’s clear he was comfortable in her home. Will definitely have him stay with Monique the next time we are in the area. Thanks, Monique!!!”
“Sherry was willing to work with my special needs puppers and do a trial overnight that worked out fantastically. Buddy settled in no issue and really enjoyed the fenced in yard. I got plenty of photo updates which was awesome to see.”
“Millie loved her time with Doreen! She sent lots of pictures and kept us up to date the whole time we were gone! Would definitely come back to Doreen! Highly Recommend”
“I absolutely loved my experience with the sitters! They’re so attentive, communicative, helpful in every way, I definitely will book again. I could tell with the updates that my dog was happy ( from photos I received every day) and very comfortable! It made my getaway so much easier to know he was well taken care of!”
“We couldn’t be more pleased. Our dogs received so much attention and love that we could truly relax on our vacation. Angela also communicated with us daily so we could see for ourselves the fun our dogs were having. We are so happy we found someone to care for our dogs when we are gone and keep them safe and happy.”
“Jessica was AMAZING. She let our dogs sleep with her. She took them on walks and a hike. Our dogs loved her. They were well cared for and happy. 10 out of 10 recommend.”
“I am thankful Rhonda was able to watch my Boston Terrier on short notice. I was very comfortable leaving him with her and will definitely have her watch him in the future.”
“Jennifer was wonderful with watching our Lou for over a week. Very easy to communicate with and we really appreciated receiving updates and photos. We would definitely book with her again!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Daniel took great care of my two anxious dogs, Kaiya and Ivy, during their overnight stay. He was reliable, communicative, and made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs in his care. Kaiya and Ivy were happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention during their stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“When someone treats your loved ones, Scout, like they would their own, you know you made a wise choice. Percy was so kind and gentle with Scout. Spending time out in the yard and deck made her so happy. She misses having a yard currently. Percy kept me updated and sent pics. I appreciate everything they did for her. Thanks guys 🥰”
“Riley had such a great experience, and I truly can’t say enough good things. Communication was amazing from start to finish, and she was so flexible when our flights changed, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She even sent pictures without us asking which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. Her kids and mother were incredibly kind and Riley also got along so well with their dog, Annalise. Riley isn’t around other dogs very often, so I was a little nervous, but they did great together and it made me so happy to hear how well she adjusted. Honestly, the whole experience felt so comfortable… like I’ve known them for a long time. That says a lot when you’re trusting someone with your dog. I would absolutely use them again without hesitation. I think Riley may have even found herself a new best friend 🐾”
About: I grew up in a large and loving family with very high-energy dogs. Last May, my husband, two kiddos and myself said goodbye to the best dog in the entire world- we miss Dexter everyday. He wasn't just a dog to us, he was family. We currently have a cat named Beans who we adopted when she was a tiny kitty. She gets a lot of attention from our 4-year-old daughter who wants to be a Veterinarian one day. Over the years, we trained Dexter (a golden retriever), and had to learn a lot about cats since neither of us grew up with a cat. Beans is very, very particular. When I was younger I helped train the family dog(s) and spent countless hours playing, walking, bathing, petting and cuddling these dogs. It has been almost one year since Dexter passed away and I miss having a dog to pet and chit-chat with everyday. I would love to spend time with your pet. Currently, I do not work. I drop one kid off at 8:30am and the other at 12:45pm, and pick up both kids at 3:30pm. We do a lot of walking and biking around town. I have a lot of free time. Our schedule will change a little bit in the summer with the kids swim lessons and a couple camping trips. Our apartment complex has a fenced-in dog run, we are near the bike path, I am happy to clean-up after your pet when necessary. I respect all pet owner's rules to ensure pet safety when walking on the leash, dietary guidelines, etc. I am able to crate animals at your house, as well as ours, if necessary.
“Maria and Nayibe were amazing with Copper. They send photos regularly and updated us on how he’s doing and were very flexible. Copper enjoyed his stay with them!”
“Cindy took great care of our pup. She clearly had fun playing with Cindy’s dogs. We were able to meet ahead of time which made us very comfortable. Communication was excellent the whole time. I highly recommend her for your pups needs.”
“My two huskies had such a good time! Kim and her husband took such great care of them! They sent us videos and pictures which definitely helped knowing they were in good hands :) 100/10 recommend”
“Ashley was an amazing dog sitter for our pup! She communicated throughout the stay, sent pictures, and made him feel at home! I highly recommend! Thank you for the experience!”

“Incredibly reliable!!! We were hesitant to use a pet sitter as we normally travel with our furbabies but we found Shelby and she was absolutely fantastic! Her communication was prompt which was huge for me. She was punctual and completed the tasks she said she would. Shelby eased my mind as I knew the furbabies were in good hands. I would highly recommend Shelby! We will definitely use her in the future. Thank you Shelby.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I previously worked at a doggy daycare for four years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I currently have two dogs of my own and have grown up around both dogs and cats my entire life. Your pet will be treated like family in my home, with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I also have a fully fenced backyard, providing a safe and secure space for dogs to run and play. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I strive to provide reliable, loving care while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so my days naturally revolve around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I work to maintain a consistent routine for all pets in my care to help them feel comfortable and at home. Whether it’s exercise in my fenced backyard, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to a pet’s specific feeding and medication schedule, I make sure their needs are a priority throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and make sure pets always have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and plenty of attention. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent care while they are away from home. Having worked at a doggy daycare and caring for my own dogs, I understand the importance of monitoring pets closely, introducing them appropriately, and creating a safe, low-stress environment where they can feel comfortable and loved.
“Jessica was so great with our older kitty with diabetes. Brownie really warmed up to her and she was great about letting us know Brownie was doing well! She required two insulin shots daily and it was a great relief to have someone car for her with skills and a tender heart. We definitely will use Jessica again!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We had last minute work done in our house where the cats had to be gone. Aidan and Dani were amazingly patient with our four cats who have quite unique personalities.”
“Kristina took care of our shy cat for the first time this past weekend. It's not easy to care for an animal that would rather hide from you than interact, and Kristina dealt with her well. She was friendly, came over when promised, and cared for Sophie and our house well.”
“Rachelle was a very nice, considerate and tidy sitter to have in my home. She let us know all was well and responded quickly to our texts. When we returned home Kikki came downstairs to greet me and went and sat near Rachelle ‘s feet. So she was definitely Kikki approved.”
“Kayla was on time and had great communication! She spent ample time making sure Quinn did his business, and gave him plenty of attention and belly rubs! We got some adorable pictures updates as well”
“Mateo was communicative, trustworthy, and reliable. I am very anxious leaving my babies alone, especially because I just moved to the area not too long ago, and I absolutely trusted him. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my babies! 🥹”
About: I am alert, passionate and ready to ensure owners have a peaceful time away as I take care of their dogs. I have worked as a dog-walker and sitter since I was in high school. Before I transition into my full time job after completing grad school, I would love to continue this hobby! I am playful and attentive of the needs of every pet and enjoyed being part of a free pet sitting club during my undergraduate degree. Feel free to contact me for any clarification I would love to answer any questions.
“I was so lucky to come across Perseus. I mainly chose him because Perseus had no other animals in the house so my 18-year-old sweet kitty could have the entire peaceful house to himself. In addition, Perseus’ home has a lot of natural light - a bay window for my kitty to curl up for a cat nap, and a large sliding patio door for my sweet boy to look out and watch all the squirrels and birds (which he loves). While I was on vacation, at least every other day (if not more), Perseus sent me pictures/videos of my cat – lounging comfortably in one of his cat beds, jumping on Perseus’ lap for a chin scratch, an action shot of my kitty playing with a new toy Perseus purchased for him, a picture of my kitty cuddling up on Perseus’ bed at night, or a video of Perseus singing my kitty a lullaby. It gave me so much comfort to know my sweet, old man was at ease. I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my beloved cat to someone I didn’t really know (Perseus and I did do a “house visit” before I went on vacation). I honestly believe Perseus gave my kitty as much love and attention as I would have if I was home.”
About: I have had a cat in my life from the day I was born. I love everything about cats! Pictured is my 7 year old cat, Buzz Lightyear. My childhood cat lived to be nearly 20 years old, thanks to proper exercise, nutrition, and medication. I love caring for other cats, even if they have an attitude!
“My kitty, Poppy, loves Paul! Poppy greets him at the door and loves playing with him. Paul is also very patient and accommodating to my fearful cat. I feel very comfortable leaving my pets in his care.”
“Tegra is super sweet and I immediately felt comfortable into our home and trusting her with our little rascal Kitty cat. Assuming she accepts I'll happily use her services again!”
About: I have solid experience caring for cats and understand how unique each one can be. I handle litter box cleaning, mealtime routines, and medication with ease. I let cats approach me on their terms and give plenty of love once they feel comfortable. My goal is always to keep them relaxed and happy in their own space.
“Jessica was an amazing caretaker for Figgy, everything went perfectly while we were gone and we could tell Fig enjoyed her daily cuddle sessions! We will absolutely use Jessica for our next trip!”
“Madeline has helped out with Cleo twice now. She has been amazing taking great care of her and taking her on walks and sending lots of photos of her! She truly does a great job!”
“Maddalena was an amazing sitter for our 2 cats while we were away! She provided great communication & updates, and our cats loved her visits! Food/water/litter boxes/play time were well taken care of while we were gone. Would highly recommend Maddalena!”

“Perseus and Dereck were great hosts to Spider. They took him in last minute. They provided photos during his short stay. I will definitely have them watch our dogs again. They deserve 10 stars!!”
“Monique was great! She was very straightforward about the process and how she has dogs in her home, which I appreciate greatly! Tatum has separation anxiety and finding an option that he feels comfortable and safe is really important! She communicated during the day on how he was doing and even got a report card and treats for his first day! This was amazing and I will be working with Monique again!”
About: I’m a true animal lover. If it has paws, scales, fins, or whiskers, I’m already invested. I’ve cared for and fostered all kinds of pets over the years—dogs, cats, aquatic babies, reptiles, and the tiniest furry friends like bunnies and hamsters—so I’m comfortable across the board. To me, pets aren’t “just pets”…they’re family. My approach is calm, patient, and gentle. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and respect their boundaries so they always feel safe, understood, and comfortable. At home, I’ve got my own little zoo—2 sweet cats, a bearded dragon, 2 geckos, 4 snakes, and an adorable mouse—so trust me, I’m no stranger to unique personalities and specialized care. I would love to care for your pet when you need a break, go on vacation or when you make other plans. You can be assured that your pet is in good hands. To offer the best care, my max capacity is currently 2 pets per day. 📍 Located in Milwaukee – Capitol Heights area 🌻 I work from home so I’ll always have time to play, feed and love on your pet babies. I’m always flexible with their needs (bathroom breaks, medication, shyness) to make sure they are always comfortable. If my schedule or availability changes, I always send out updates to my calendar right away. ❤️ To offer the best care, my max capacity is currently 2 pets per day. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space for pets to roam, play and toilet if needed. Pets are always welcome to bring their own items. My 2 lovely cats are usually shy and more of the watching type, so they won’t bother your pets but will surely admire them from their cat trees. All activities and toileting are supervised. There is no smoking of any kind in my home or pet areas. There are some pictures of our living space in the photo collection on my Rover profile.
About: I've had dogs ever since I can remember. I was brought up to love, respect and care for animals and that's why I got into vetmed back in my home country. I had to stop my studies to come here but I haven't stopped wanting to help. As a pet parent, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to support you and help you care for your furry babies. I have pet and house sitted for friends and family in the past. I have pet sitted cats and dogs but I'm open to help with small species and exotic pets. Rest assured I'll do everything exactly like instructed by you, always with lots of love and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I'm currently staying at home so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups, take them on walks and snuggle with them. I have two small dogs that can keep your puppy company and we also have a very walkable neighborhood with some green areas we could explore together.
“Kim is amazing! We always have her watch our dachshund Wendi whenever we go out of town or have an event to go to. She is so responsive and such a kind person! When she’s watching our dog, we know our dog is in great hands.Our dog always comes home happy and sleepy after hanging out with Kim and her dog! Thank you!!”
About: Hi, my name is Lynn and my love for pets started at a young age. I find that dogs need more than love and affection. They need mental stimulation. While your dog is in my care, I assure you they will have all three. (Love, affection and mental stimulation) I have always had dogs my entire life. I currently have a 3 year old Lagotto Romagnolo named Bonita. She loves to play with other dogs big or small. I live across the street from a park so we will have plenty of play time. We will do lots of walks, play time as well and some down time. If you need help with basic obedience training, let's chat. If you have a kennel or doggy bed please bring it with you, as well as food and treats. I look forward to taking care of your dog(s)! Pet care is my life. I have a daily routine with my dog Bo. I take her to the dog park a few days a week and also let her run in the yard as well as across the street at the park. My days and hours are flexible, and someone is always home. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I will use a leash with your dog. I live on a quiet culdasac and have a park across the street for lots of play time.
“Auria took great care of Zeus! She was also very accommodating to our last minute request to extend his stay a couple hours longer. I would definitely recommend Auria to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
About: Hi there! We are lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience and two sweet pit bulls of my own. Our home is shared with my playful and loving 3-year-old boy and my silly, affectionate 1-year-old girl, who both love making new friends. We've spent many years in responsible dog breeding, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, socialization, and individual needs. Whether your pup is shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, We are confident and comfortable caring for all personalities, ages, and breeds. With me, your pets will be treated like part of the family — plenty of love, attention, structure, and fun. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive environment where every dog feels at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! --- If you want, I can also tailor it to a specific service (boarding, drop-ins, walks, etc.) or adjust the tone to be more professional, playful, or concise. I offer flexible scheduling for pet boarding thanks to my role with a property management company, which allows me to be home often and adjust my availability as needed. This flexibility helps me give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout their stay. For everyone’s safety and comfort, we kindly require all pets to have their own crate during their stay. Crates provide a secure, familiar space for your dog to rest and relax, especially during downtime or when we briefly step out. Their safety and well-being are always our top priority. Also provide your pet with their favorite food/treats for their stay. We are also able to provide that for an additional fee.
“Having our dog stay with MJ has been a great experience! We recently adopted a dog with fairly severe separation anxiety, and I'm not sure how we would have made it through the first months without having someone like MJ to watch her during the day while we work on alone time training. He's always very communicative and flexible, and our dog just loves him. You couldn't ask for a better dog sitter!”
“Will and Sarah were great with Maple on her first doggy day care visit! Felt confident to leave her for the day and they were super flexible to accommodate my last minute work meetings. Will be going back for overnight soon.”
About: I helped raise my own two family dogs and ensured that they were always walked, bathed, fed, and happy. It's also a habit of mine to go take the extra step like wiping my dogs and make sure they are clean after they've been outside. I've also taken care of my neighbor's dogs alongside our own family dogs, so I have experience handling multiple pets at once. I work full-time, Monday through Friday, while working from home 2-3 days a week. I also go to workout classes in the evening. Normally, if working from home, I take the dogs out for a walk in the morning. On other days, I take them for a walk in the evening. I normally take pets out 3 times a day, once in the morning, afternoon, and night. I make sure the dogs have a dedicated spot for food and bed. I have both a park and a dog park, 5-10 minutes away from my apartment, which I can take the pets to for a walk or some dog play time. There are also multiple yard-like grass areas where the dogs are meant to do their business. If pets stay with me for longer than two weeks, I bathe them every other week.
“Rita and Dan are amazing and truly love dogs. They are kind, caring, attentive, and the dogs have a great time together. As a bonus for us, they are fun to talk to and great with communication and updates. They helped us out with our two dogs with short term notice and were understanding when we were unexpectedly delayed because of weather. Highly recommend!”
“Dane is fantastic; couldn’t recommend him more. Our pup loves getting to hang out with him and his goldens. We’re pretty sure our dog would prefer to live with Dane and his dogs if he could! We know that our dog has a great time because whenever we turn down the street that Dane lives on, our dog loses it with excitement regardless if we’re dropping him off or on our way somewhere else. Great backyard, the sweetest goldens and super nice humans. Definitely a winning trio.”

“Shelby is great! We couldn’t ask for anything better. Shelby walks our dogs three days a week and she’s been on time, extremely sweet, the dogs love her and she keeps us informed on our dogs. We have a big German Shepherd that tends to pull on walks, and Shelby rose to the challenge without complaints. I highly recommend her to others looking for a walker.”

About: I've grown up with pets ever since I was little. I've been trusted even from young ages to walk, feed, and clean up after dogs. I've never had a bad experience and I'm always willing to encounter any and every kind of dog out there with lots of love and care! I have my own pet at home, had him for 10 years. Even after so long, it's so easy and even fun sometimes to do the little things for your pets like feeding them, walking them, and just making sure you spend some quality time with them! There's never a moment I don't want to be around my pet, or any pet for that matter! I always think the key to good pet care is real love and attention. Watching for what your pets want and giving them it will make them happy. If it's attention, bring on the cuddles! If it's a walk, let's do it! And that goes for pets that aren't mine as well. I always care for them like they're mine, and will pay attention to what they want as well as what their owners know is best too!

“Kristina communicated very well and was very patient when dealing with some technical difficulties relating to my apartment building access. My neighbors said she was pleasant and Korbin enjoyed his walks with her!”
About: I am a nearby teacher just looking to help you out with your dog/s! I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone else and I want it to be stress-free for you. I have a dog of my own, and I grew up with dogs all my life and love to be around them! I can socialize your pup with mine or keep them separate. I am free most weekends and holidays. I can go on a run and/or walk with your dog or just give them a little extra love and attention. I am a big fan of all dogs whether they are big or small. I also know some about cats if you need help with them as well. I am available on weekends and if needed can work in a Friday too. This allows me to put all my attention on your pets. I have one fur baby of my own that can easily be separated from your pup if needed. I also have easily access to a crate and a neighborhood dog park.
About: Hello and welcome! We take care of/have taken care of all different kinds of pets. We have our own two dogs, as well as six cats. We have experience with multiple different breeds and types of animals, as well as being able to handle many at a time. (We have had up to 9 dogs in my care at one time!) I know how hard it is to leave your pet behind, which is why I will update you with pictures as much as you would like. I have a finished basement if your loved one would prefer to be separated, and also have many open rooms for them to choose from for slumber. The cats have a gated off cat room, only accessible to humans and kitties. The crew and I can't wait to meet you! (Or if you prefer the whole crew won't meet you :)). Dani is currently home full time. At this time Dani is home for almost the entire day, with occasional errands. You can request our schedule for any amount of time to confirm your loved one will be cared for properly and on time. We deep clean all items used after a pet stays, so that they are ready for the next pet to stay. We have extra blankets, beds, crates, bowls, and more. We keep our fishtanks neat and clean, as well as my home. My dogs are extremely friendly even with cats. My backyard is fenced in with access through a back door. When it's nice out we play outside with the dogs where they have access to a kiddie pool to play in the water. I have started to add more outdoor play equipment/toys.
About: 🐾 Buddy’s Boarding — Where Pets Feel at Home 🌈 Hi! I’m Percy, an experienced pet lover offering premium dog boarding from my home in Brown Deer. I previously was a professional dog handler with experience working with hundreds of dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I now work full time from home caring for the most amazing dogs! Pups are rarely ever alone and always cared for with confidence, attention, and a whole lot of love! 🐶 Why pet parents love Buddy’s Boarding: • Spacious fenced in yard for play and potty breaks • Flexible pick-up/drop-off times with clear communication • Convenient location — just 10 minutes from I-43 and Hwy 41 • Quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with sidewalks and green space • Attentive, patient, & experienced sitter ✨ Our Story ✨ Buddy’s Boarding is named after the dog that started it all. At 10 years old, I found Buddy as a stray near my dad’s business and begged my mom to let us keep him. She said yes, and from that moment on, my bond with animals was sealed. That connection still fuels the love and care we give every dog who stays with us. Whether your pup is active and playful or chill and cuddly, we tailor each stay to their needs. Let us know your dog’s routine and preferences, we’re happy to accommodate. 🟢 Drop Off & Pick Up Windows 🟢 Monday through Friday 8am to 8pm Weekends 9am to 7pm Pick ups or drop offs outside of the window can be accommodated for an additional fee. We can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home. 🐾 👉 Send us a request to get started! We’d love to meet your pup! Schedule Caring for dogs is my full time focus. I provide Rover pet care full time, and am home full time outside of quick errands and hitting the gym! I maintain a calm, attentive environment where dogs are rarely alone and always have someone nearby to meet their needs. Safety We prioritize safety by pet-proofing our home, keeping hazardous items out of reach, and supervising pets at all times. Whether it’s backyard play or a leashed walk, we ensure dogs are always in secure, pet-friendly environments. We also tailor safety measures to each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Trust Building trust with both pets and their people is at the heart of what we do. We take time to understand each dog’s routine and preferences, and we maintain regular communication with pet parents, sharing updates and photos so they always feel connected and confident in our care. Environment Our home is clean, cozy, and designed with dogs in mind, with plenty of space to move, comfy spots to rest, and loving attention throughout the day. We create a calm, positive environment and adjust our approach to meet each dog where they’re at.
“Paul was great as the first non-family walker of our six month old puppy. He helped Ollie on his waking protocol and gave him the exercise he needed. We will definitely use him again!”
“Maddalena is so helpful and flexible! I appreciate her thinking ahead- she saw it would be raining so she took our dog on a quick walk and then played with her inside. Dallie still got some energy out, and we couldn't be happier. :)”
“Karlee was wonderful working with me to walk Bear. She came over early to meet him and I felt completely comfortable having her watch over my fur baby. Thank you so much for putting me at ease!”

And occasionally weekdays. I can be very flexible with what works for you if I’m able to fit it into my schedule! I’m willing to adapt to whatever your animal needs and take great care of them! I have a cat myself and I treat him like he’s my own child.
About: I provide attentive, compassionate, and reliable care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I specialize in creating a safe, comfortable environment—whether in your home or mine—ensuring pets receive plenty of exercise, affection, and individualized attention. With strong communication skills and a genuine love for animals, I keep pet parents updated and at ease throughout every stay. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or special care routines, I’m committed to treating every dog like family. I have a flexible work schedule so I’m able to provide breaks and attention as needed throughout the day. I am able to attend to your pet as needed. I have a large back yard that the dogs can play in. I also have the Oak Leaf trail next to my house we can go on frequent walks!
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. They show us so much love. Who are we not to give it back in return. Since the passing of our long time dog (Roc,15) we’ve been watching our friends and family dogs while they’re out of town. In each case the owners return with their dogs a little hesitant about wanting to return home. LOL. I work from home and I have no plans of switching to another job that would require me to go into the office. Therefore, I have plenty of time to play with your big and little babies. I also like to take walks at minimum twice a day. This is a perfect time for your fur babies to stretch their legs. After a nice long walk I clean their paws to make sure they leave the yucky stuff outside. I have a designated area where they can sleep. However, I like to keep them close to me during the day while I’m working. I think it sets them up for a positive visit. They immediately become part of the family. I also have the flexibility to take them out throughout the day. There is a highly recommended veterinarian within a two minute driving distance and maybe a ten minute walk in the event of an emergency.
About: I have 20+ years of experience with a variety of pets. From dogs to reptiles and everything in between, I love them all. Growing up, I cared for dogs, cats and small rodents. Out of high school I adopted my first rescue dog and never looked back. I have worked with many rescue dogs over the years and went through basic training with each one. This helped me learn to accommodate for special needs and/or behaviors. I also have experience with giving pets medications and injections. I previously worked with groups of dogs at a local dog daycare. Our family currently has 2 dogs, 2 cats, 3 snakes, 1 gecko, 1 box turtle and 1 fish. I have a natural passion for caring for animals and I can’t wait to fall in love with your pet. I currently work part time during the day as an office manager and have a fairly flexible work schedule. I do have multiple pets that I visit on a regular basis mid day during the week. I'm also free on most weekends! I believe pets are a part of your family as much as any other family member. I will treat them with the utmost respect and love while I am caring for them. I will also do my best to stick to your instructions to keep your pet’s experience with me as consistent and stress free as possible.
About: Hi, my name is Lynn and my love for pets started at a young age. I find that dogs need more than love and affection. They need mental stimulation. While your dog is in my care, I assure you they will have all three. (Love, affection and mental stimulation) I have always had dogs my entire life. I currently have a 3 year old Lagotto Romagnolo named Bonita. She loves to play with other dogs big or small. I live across the street from a park so we will have plenty of play time. We will do lots of walks, play time as well and some down time. If you need help with basic obedience training, let's chat. If you have a kennel or doggy bed please bring it with you, as well as food and treats. I look forward to taking care of your dog(s)! Pet care is my life. I have a daily routine with my dog Bo. I take her to the dog park a few days a week and also let her run in the yard as well as across the street at the park. My days and hours are flexible, and someone is always home. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I will use a leash with your dog. I live on a quiet culdasac and have a park across the street for lots of play time.

He was reliable, communicative, and made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs in his care. Kaiya and Ivy were happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention during their stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“When someone treats your loved ones, Scout, like they would their own, you know you made a wise choice. Percy was so kind and gentle with Scout. Spending time out in the yard and deck made her so happy. She misses having a yard currently. Percy kept me updated and sent pics. I appreciate everything they did for her. Thanks guys 🥰”
About: I grew up in a large and loving family with very high-energy dogs. Last May, my husband, two kiddos and myself said goodbye to the best dog in the entire world- we miss Dexter everyday. He wasn't just a dog to us, he was family. We currently have a cat named Beans who we adopted when she was a tiny kitty. She gets a lot of attention from our 4-year-old daughter who wants to be a Veterinarian one day. Over the years, we trained Dexter (a golden retriever), and had to learn a lot about cats since neither of us grew up with a cat. Beans is very, very particular. When I was younger I helped train the family dog(s) and spent countless hours playing, walking, bathing, petting and cuddling these dogs. It has been almost one year since Dexter passed away and I miss having a dog to pet and chit-chat with everyday. I would love to spend time with your pet. Currently, I do not work. I drop one kid off at 8:30am and the other at 12:45pm, and pick up both kids at 3:30pm. We do a lot of walking and biking around town. I have a lot of free time. Our schedule will change a little bit in the summer with the kids swim lessons and a couple camping trips. Our apartment complex has a fenced-in dog run, we are near the bike path, I am happy to clean-up after your pet when necessary. I respect all pet owner's rules to ensure pet safety when walking on the leash, dietary guidelines, etc. I am able to crate animals at your house, as well as ours, if necessary.
“Cindy took great care of our pup. She clearly had fun playing with Cindy’s dogs. We were able to meet ahead of time which made us very comfortable. Communication was excellent the whole time. I highly recommend her for your pups needs.”
“My two huskies had such a good time! Kim and her husband took such great care of them! They sent us videos and pictures which definitely helped knowing they were in good hands :) 100/10 recommend”
“Scott and Ashley were fantastic. Their back yard was perfect for Piper to run around in and they took fantastic care of her. They were extremely communicative as well. I look forward to Piper staying at their house again!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I previously worked at a doggy daycare for four years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I currently have two dogs of my own and have grown up around both dogs and cats my entire life. Your pet will be treated like family in my home, with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I also have a fully fenced backyard, providing a safe and secure space for dogs to run and play. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I strive to provide reliable, loving care while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so my days naturally revolve around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I work to maintain a consistent routine for all pets in my care to help them feel comfortable and at home. Whether it’s exercise in my fenced backyard, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to a pet’s specific feeding and medication schedule, I make sure their needs are a priority throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and make sure pets always have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and plenty of attention. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent care while they are away from home. Having worked at a doggy daycare and caring for my own dogs, I understand the importance of monitoring pets closely, introducing them appropriately, and creating a safe, low-stress environment where they can feel comfortable and loved.
“MJ is the best sitter and was one of the few that I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with for more than a week! Sad that he’s relocated away from CA but I’m sure he’ll continue to be an A+ sitter wherever he goes!”
“Sarah and her family took great care of Goose while we were gone for a quick overnight! Goose got lots of walks around the neighborhood and played well with their kids, both in the yard and outside. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future!”
“Elizabeth took great care of my dog Hank! Communication was great and prompt. She provided plenty of exercise and play time with her dog, and even gave Hank a bath when he got muddy.”
