“Yolanda was amazing to work with! She is a consummate professional and did everything she could to make sure my wife and I felt comfortable with our pup being in her care. We know our pup is in great hands with Yolanda!”

“Angela was absolutely amazing! I received multiple pictures a day of my dog enjoying spending time with her pups and family. She was treated her as if she was a part of the family. In fact, when I went to pick her up she didn’t want to leave ha! I would most definitely book Angela again in a heart beat. -Allie”

“Kayla and Milo were awesome sitters! Kayla did an amazing job housing my dog Kobe and sending picture updates to show he is doing. It seemed like he enjoyed his stay so much. Milo also was a great furry friend to keep Kobe company. With the awesome communication and also being flexible on scheduling, Kayla is awesome to work with. Definitely will book again.”
About: I grew up taking care of my neighbors dogs and pets of friends and family. I have experience with small and medium sized dogs and can watch multiple dogs at a time. I have a dog named snoop. I’m available weekdays, as early as 6am until 5pm. Weekends I would need 3 days notice. I have a very flexible schedule, if you have any questions feel free to contact me! When I’m in someone else’s home my mentality is to leave no trace and to prioritize the pets. I know I love my pets more than anything and always strive to make sure pet parents are kept in the loop while away. If I have any questions not previously answered, I will always reach out to communicate. Whether I’m boarding a pet or stopping by, I always respect the animals in my care and the environment I’m in. I always hope to give the best care possible and am always learning in the process.
“Scott and his dog Lucy were a great match for Roo! I received multiple picture updates and he was great at communicating. We met up beforehand to ensure a good match, and it was clear Scott has a natural way with dogs. Would gladly rebook!”
“Katie and her family have watched our dog a few times. Our dog loves it at Katie's. She runs up to the door all excited to stay. Katie is very responsive and has been flexible when needed. She is a great communicator and makes it so I don't have to worry about our dog while we are away.”
“Michael and Heather have been and continue to be the most wonderful hosts to my dog Ozzy. They are incredibly flexible and always do their best to balance schedules and provide great care to my dog. I recommend them as they truly love pets.”
“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!”

About: Hi there! I'm Alyssa, a cat lady who works from home and has kitty love to share. I adore caring for cats and giving them the attention (or the space) they want. I have two rescue kitties of my own named Mikasa and Karma, and understand the importance of meeting cats where they're at and going at their pace while caring for them. I regularly volunteer at an animal shelter feeding cats, so I also have experience with cats that are nervous or fearful around new people. My detail-oriented yet patient nature allows me to connect with all kitties as if they were my own, whether it's the neighborhood cat looking for some playtime in my driveway, or a stray at the shelter unsure about people. If you need someone to feed, clean the litter box, or just keep your fur baby company for a bit while you're away, I'm your gal.
“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.”
“Daniel was a wonderful drop in caregiver to our cat, Chewy! My wife and I left Glendale the morning we found out about a family member’s death early that same morning. Daniel was not even in town but flying in that evening. His ability to take care of Chewy in such a caring and seamless way despite our lack of opportunity to meet was amazing. Daniel also took care of our orchids and herbs. Chewy befriended Daniel and have become fast buddies as shown in his daily photos. We have been out of Wisconsin for 20 days.”
“Anna was 10/10 and I am so grateful she took great care of Juniper. I really appreciate how Anna always responds quickly and took great pics of Juniper. Thanks Anna!”
“I can’t recommend Lenys enough! She took such great care of my floof while I was away, making sure she was well-fed, comfortable, and had plenty of company. I loved receiving daily updates and adorable photos, which really gave me peace of mind. She even went above and beyond by suggesting and installing a new cat fountain to keep my cat hydrated and happy. On top of that, she made sure any packages delivered during my trip were safely brought in and secured. Truly thoughtful, reliable, and caring, she'll get the job done and more! Definitely booking her again!”
“They were so helpful and understanding of situations that came up. I'm also so thankful for them understanding how shy most of my cats are and allowed them to chill out of sight together.”
“Jan was great!! Super friendly- sent me pictures of Milo. I will definitely schedule again with her and recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter! Thanks:)”
“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”
About: I have taken care of cats of every age nearly my entire life. I currently have 3 long-haired cats with all very different personalities! I am knowledgeable in cat body language and how to respond to certain cues a cat is showing me. I am a big fan of using Fear Free tactics to gain the trust of any cat I interact with!
“Suzi was great. Jumped in at the last minute when another sitter canceled. Daily updates were personable and detailed. Bogey was a happy camper when I returned. Highly recommend!”
About: I have watched friends and neighbor's pets for years and decided to sign up with Rover. I love all animals. I have 1 dog and 1 cat, and they are family. I will walk, love and play with all pets staying with me and follow instructions given by their owners. I can watch puppies that are really like toddlers or older wiser members of your families. I am comfortable giving medications if needed. Most will sleep on my bed and yes, they are allowed on my furniture, but they are welcome to sleep or nap wherever they would like. I want you to go on vacation knowing they are happy and having a vacation of their own. I have a morning routine which includes a long walk, depending on temperature, playing in the yard with my dog and another walk usually late afternoon. Walks include walks around my neighborhood and also at parks. While your dog is in my care, I will not be going to any dog parks with them. I will have our dogs meet prior to accepting a job. They can play in my yard and once we are both comfortable with their meeting, we can schedule a time for drop off or pick up. While in my home they will be treated with love and respect. Walks and playtime throughout the day. They are allowed to sleep or hang out wherever they would like.
About: I’ve grown up around cats and have plenty of experience caring for them through friends, family, and people close to me. My best friends and girlfriend all have cats, so I’m constantly helping out with feeding, playtime, litter boxes, overnight care, and keeping them comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very patient with shy and affectionate cats alike and understand that every cat has a different personality and routine. I genuinely love being around animals and recently joined this app to connect with more pet owners and continue doing something I already do all the time!
“This was our first time having Becky check in on our shy cat. Becky came when promised, followed all of my (overly obsessive) directions to a "T", and managed to cajole Sophie into coming out and interacting with her. Sophie and our home were in great hands, and we would definitely use Becky again.”
“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.”
About: Hello! I come from a family of dog lovers currently with 20 doggies in just my imitated family plus close aunts/uncles and cousins. We have quite the hectic family holidays. I've had lots of dog sitting experience between all those pups as well as being on Rover for 9 years now. My favorite pup is my border collie/aussie mix, Piper. She’s a rescue, almost 8 years old and all energy all the time. She’s keeps me active and taught me how to keep dogs physically and mentally exercised. I’m super easy going, just let me know how I can help you and your furry friends! I work mostly from home but still make time to get some extra dog time in my day. I can do morning, some lunch, and evening check-ins/walks on weekends and Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Dogs will always be kept on leash unless in a secure, fenced in area with me. Every animals needs are different, I am happy to hear every details about your pet to know how to best care for them.
“We had a little hiccup on communication for times but it all worked out. Marie sent pictures and videos of Charlotte and she’s very happy and well taken care of. House was clean and well kept. Would be glad to have Marie come again”

“Yolanda and her family have been so great to work with so far! Yolanda is very responsive, flexible, & respectful of your pet’s needs/requests/concerns. I will be utilizing her services again 🙂”
About: Dogs and cats have always been a big part of my life, and I know how much joy and comfort they bring. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets, whether that means daily walks, playful activities, or snuggles on the couch. I’m flexible and attentive, making sure your furry friends feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m 22 years old and recently graduated from UWM with a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. I currently work part-time at a coffee shop and have a flexible schedule, making it easy for me to accommodate pet care needs When I’m caring for your fur baby, I’ll send as many pictures as you’d like, there’s no such thing as too many! I know I’d want updates on my own pets, so I’m happy to keep you connected while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully to make sure your pets are well cared for!
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.
“Thank you so much to Kim! Kim was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog Mushi today. She's very friendly and made us feel very comfortable about leaving our lab mix rescue with her while we enjoyed the Milwaukee Zoo. She walked Mushi and also gave us updates as well as pictures. I highly recommend her to watch your dog.”
“I looked into a few options for our pup and it was no question that Monique was the best fit. Our pup had a great time, she made sure to send me updates on him, and we loved the little report card at the end!”
“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.”
About: Hey there! I’m a new Rover sitter who truly enjoys being around dogs. I’m dependable, easygoing, and always focused on keeping dogs safe and comfortable. I’m happy to stick to your dog’s usual routine and I’ll keep you posted with updates and pictures. Your pup will get lots of attention, care, and love while you’re away! Currently, I am working in office on Tuesdays and Thursdays until about 230/3pm and work at home on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Weekends are very open and only tend to leave for short periods of time to run errands I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for them to run around and enjoy the outdoors, as well as one Corgi at home. I do live in a two story house with the primary bedroom upstairs. Depending on the preference, dogs are usually allowed to roam free whether I am home or not but I do have gates to keep them from going upstairs if necessary.
“Jan was great! She knew I was concerned that my sometimes reactive doggie might misbehave in a new place but Jan sent me an update right away to let me know she was doing well. She sent messages and pics throughout the day for reassurance, even though I didn’t ask her to.”
“Aidan was amazing with our last second booking and went so far above and beyond! Will definitely send our dog here again next time we’re in the area!”
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.
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.
“Small had an amazing few days with Madison, Joseph and Knox! Went on walks and adventures, and was so well cared for. Came home exhausted every evening from a full day of playing with his new friends. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I’m Andrew, and I provide dependable, attentive, one-on-one care for dogs. My goal is simple: to help your dog feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities over the years, including family dogs, regular clients, and dogs I’ve walked and cared for in home settings. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and adapting my approach to what helps them feel most secure. I’m especially attentive on walks. I pay close attention to body language, keep dogs safely managed around distractions, and believe that calm, consistent handling helps dogs build confidence. I enjoy providing both physical exercise and mental engagement while making sure each walk is a positive experience. Reliability and communication are important to me. I’ll send thoughtful updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing, and I’ll always treat your home and your pet with respect. Whether your dog loves long walks, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their normal routine, I’m happy to meet their individual needs. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! My Experience * Experience caring for family dogs over many years. * Regular dog walking and pet care for private clients. * Comfortable with dogs of different sizes and temperaments. * Patient with shy or cautious dogs. * Committed to safe leash handling and positive interactions. * Happy to follow your dog’s established routines, feeding schedules, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I am currently available to book most days of the week as dog care is my passion. Please feel free to reach out to set up a meet and greet. I am currently available to take care of pets in client’s home. I am flexible with needs, dates, and times. Let me know how I can help 🙂
“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!”
About: I have been the go-to pet sitter for my large family & friends for years and just decided to see if anyone else would need the service. I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. I like hanging out with the pets like little buddies, getting some days of cuddles and then sending them home 😅. It’s the perfect way to get some fur baby time until I’m ready for my next dog or cat in the future. This is not a business for me, it’s something I have enjoyed doing for my family and friends, and if you want your beloved pet to be in a calm but fun, comfortable environment while you’re away, I can extend my service to you. I recently started doing home stays/drop ins for the pet sitting too and enjoyed it. I currently have a really flexible schedule with a lot of availability. I live with my dad that occasionally says hi if the dog or cat is friendly but mostly the house is big enough that they never cross paths. I have a fenced in yard and a big house with a lot of space that I can also section off by closing doors. I typically take the animals out several times a day, feed them, and let them roam around the house or snuggle with me. I like when pet owners bring a bed for their pets so I can make them their own space but they’re welcome to chill with me in whatever I’m doing. I’m youthful, active, and responsible. I have a naturally friendly, calm demeanor that animals and people respond well to. I have no pets right now but used to have a pit/black lab mix that I loved dearly so I love pits and other breeds with historically bad reputations. I frequently sit my aunt’s beagle mix who’s just a little old pup that sparked my interest for pet sitting cuz it was so fun to have visits from him. He and my old dog are in a bunch of my pics. With all animals I just try to make them comfortable and let them feel at home.
“Mickey loved his afternoon with Jessica! She took him for walks and made him feel at home. He was relaxed and happy when I picked him up. Jessica is such a kind soul, we feel extemely fortunate to have found her!”

“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.”
“My dog gets excited when she hears that her friend Daniel has arrived for their afternoon walk. He seems to enjoy his time with her as well and is very kind and communicative. I've only had positive experiences with Daniel.”

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: I pet it all of my phones and families dogs whether it’s from short visits to letting the dogs outside to go potty or overnight stays. I have been doing this for over two years now, but it’s been a lot more frequent over the past two years. I have always loved dogs. In fact I have two big dogs one purebred German Shepherd and the other dog is a great Pyrenees mix. I am working with Rover now because I’m trying to be able to afford an apartment for myself and just take care of my basic necessities. I know how well I will want my dogs taken care of if I needed a sitter so I try to provide that same care to my clients! I can usually make any time work as best for you. I don’t have a full-time job. It should be my primary job right now. I can do anything you need me to do. Feeding the dogs, letting them out to go potty, taking them to play, taking them on a walk, etc.
“Genesis is everything you’d want in someone taking care of your pet! She was amazing with my senior dog and was a fantastic communicator too! I would highly recommend her services to anyone and will definitely be seeing her again soon! Thanks Genesis :)”
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.

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 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.
About: I am a former Dog Walker for the Ozaukee County Humane Society and have always been active with all my own dogs. I have rescued small breed seniors age 10+ and kept them active, as well as having been an owner of young, large dogs. I have had one other private daily dog-walking position of two standard poodles. I enjoy being outdoors myself and giving dogs the opportunity to get out in the neighborhood and check all their pee-mails! I am currently working part time remotely at home in SE Mequon so I have plenty of time for your pups in southeast Mequon/Bayside area. I offer picking up your dog(s) at your home and provide leashed exercise in your neighborhood. Other options include dog park and nature preserve visits, etc.
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!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve frequently pet sat for neighbors, family friends, and people through word of mouth, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, medications, overnight care, litter boxes, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very patient, attentive, and reliable, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I recently joined this app to connect with more pet owners and continue doing something I’ve always enjoyed! I usually work out early in the morning around 7:30, so the rest of my day is very open and flexible for pet care. I’m able to fit walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, playtime, very easily into my routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets never feels like a chore to me. I’m very reliable with communication and making sure pets stay on their normal routines while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs with very different personalities and needs. I currently help take care of my own dog at home, who stays in a fenced-in yard, and I also frequently help with my best friend’s and girlfriend’s dogs as well. Since they’re all different breeds and temperaments, I’m used to adjusting care depending on the dog, whether that means high-energy play, extra patience, sticking to strict routines, or making them feel comfortable in new environments. I always prioritize safety, attention, and making pets feel relaxed and cared for.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs and have raised my own cats and dogs, including a dog with health issues. I also am a volunteer dog walker and foster for MADACC. I'm an ultra runner, so what better way to get in some miles than to run with your dog?! I work from home part-time so I have flexibility during the week. On the weekends, I just have to work around my kids' sports schedules. I have years of experience running, walking and hiking with my own dogs. I will keep your dog safely leashed/harnessed while we are getting our steps in, making sure they are comfortable and properly hydrated.

“Jan has been great, and Gizmo loves her! She will take him for walks, be sure he goes potty, and play with him in the yard for a bit. Jan is also flexible should a scheduling conflict arise. She truly loves dogs and looks forward to seeing Gizmo a few times a week!”
About: As someone who grew up on a small farm, I have been around a variety of animals since birth. I have experience caring for a variety of species and am comfortable handling any animal. I have volunteered with local animal shelters for over a decade, so I also have extensive experience caring for pets with behavioral issues and medical needs. I am a part-time sitter who is providing pet care services in addition to my full-time work. However, as a professor at a local university, I have a very flexible daily schedule and can easily provide pet care during typical business hours. Additionally, I do not work in the summer, which increases my availability from mid-May to September. I am very intentional about the number of clients I take at a time to ensure that I can provide comprehensive care to booked clients. I believe open communication is most important to be able to provide safe and reliable care for your pets. During our meet and greet, I will ask many questions to ensure that I have a full picture of what caring for your pet requires and how to meet your expectations. As someone who uses a Rover sitter to care for my pets when I am away, I personally understand the trust that is needed to leave your pets in someone else's care. I strive to build trust with clients by showing up when I say I do and following all instructions provided to me. And, it is not just about building trust with you but also your pet! If your pet has any behavioral issues or quirks, it's important for me to know this so that I can ensure safety for your pet and myself. This will help me adjust my interactions with them so I can build trust with your pet and respect their boundaries. The more information I have, the better!

“Yolanda was amazing to work with! She is a consummate professional and did everything she could to make sure my wife and I felt comfortable with our pup being in her care. We know our pup is in great hands with Yolanda!”
“10/10 recommend! Incredible experience. My dog doesn’t like going to a kennel and has separation anxiety and Monique made my dog feel so safe and comforted. I could really tell how much Monique loves dogs with how happy my dog is when we pulled in her driveway the second time he came here.”

“Kayla and Milo were awesome sitters! Kayla did an amazing job housing my dog Kobe and sending picture updates to show he is doing. It seemed like he enjoyed his stay so much. Milo also was a great furry friend to keep Kobe company. With the awesome communication and also being flexible on scheduling, Kayla is awesome to work with. Definitely will book again.”

“Michael and Heather have been and continue to be the most wonderful hosts to my dog Ozzy. They are incredibly flexible and always do their best to balance schedules and provide great care to my dog. I recommend them as they truly love pets.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly consider them family. Growing up, my family had a Cocker Spaniel, then a Weimaraner, and eventually we fell in love with Labrador Retrievers — we’ve had three Labs in a row. My most recent chocolate Lab, Thor, passed away about 2 years ago, and until we’re ready to bring another dog home, I’ve decided to pour that love and care into other people’s dogs. My dogs have always been right by my side, so your dog will never feel like a guest. If your dog enjoys car rides, they’re welcome to come along with me. At home, they’re free to relax on the couch, go for walks, play at the dog park, or just enjoy companionship and attention throughout the day. I trained our labrador Thor to retrieve so if you have a hunting dog and they have a favorite retriever toy I’d be happy to keep their skills fresh while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I’ll care for yours as if they were my own — with plenty of love. I work full-time Monday to Thursday.I am an early riser due to work and having young kids. I work 10 minutes from home so stopping home for potty breaks and exercise during the work week is easy to do. Friday,Saturday,Sunday we are home bodies with two young kids and will treat your dog like family all day. I can crate your dog in our XL crate with a comfy bed if needed. Puppies can be put into a puppy play pen as needed. We have a nice yard to play and a dog friendly neighborhood for walks weather permitting. I will only watch one dog at a time for dog safety and to give your dog my full attention. I will watch multiple dogs from the same household. Due to young kids (3&5 year olds) living in our home I do request dogs that do well with children. If you have a puppy I understand the potential teething and nipping stage is apart of a dogs growth and understand the process as I’ve had 4 puppies in my life. My children will always be supervised around your dog.
“Ester did such a good job with our Golden Retriever! We reached out last minute and she was so accommodating. Quick response time, and Tucker had a blast. 🐾💗”
“Jackson loved his first stay with Auria. He got along great with her dogs and was very comfortable in her home. I think he had a lot of fun while I was gone. We look forward to using her again!”
“Dan did an exceptional job taking care of my dog Levi! He asked great questions to know what Levi likes / doesn’t like, his habits etc. I had worried that Levi’s raw food diet would be a hassle but Dan was onboard and had a freezer to store his food. Levi is a year old golden retriever and has lots of energy. Dan took him on hikes, walks in the neighborhood and running around in his fenced in backyard. He sent me regular updates and pictures of Levi which I really appreciated. Levi is already booked for his next stay with Dan next month!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life and finally got my own pup in 2023. I love all breeds, sizes and ages and cater my care specific to every dog’s needs. I am very patient and keep up with guidelines and research to ensure I’m doing my best as a dog mom and carer of animals in a daily basis. I’m currently unemployed and have flexibility every day. I love getting my steps in, so I am more than happy to take your pup on long walks and will happily provide drop in visits. I am a trustworthy person who treats every being and environment like her own. I am well versed on dog’s body language and barks/growls and will ensure their safety and comfort. I love dogs of all sizes and am able to handle big dogs on walks as my boy is 80lbs.
