“Anu and her family did a wonderful job of taking care of our Trooper. He had a fantastic time and took quite the nap after getting home from all the playing! They made sure they knew Trooper’s routine and we received pictures and videos multiple times a day to keep us updated on how he was doing. I highly recommend Anu and her family to care for your pet!”
“Bobbi was absolutely amazing with Franklin! She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she truly loves dogs and treated him like one of her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Mary was amazing!! My dog does not normally like new people but he loved Mary and she took great care of him. I even had to book last minute because of a funeral. I was able to be fully present with my family at our time of loss because my dog was so well cared for. Thanks Mary!!”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Kristal and Scott were really great sitters. My Sophia was well taken care of and loved by them. She sent me updates on her and pictures almost on a daily basis. I would recommend them and use them in the future.”
“Melissa and her family was amazing! We were so nervous bringing our very geriatric dog (16yr, 5mo) to anyone, but she really made us feel at ease. She has experience with other geriatric dogs and her own yorkie. We received an update and pictures of a very happy dog while we were on vacation. He was ready to go when I said I'd pick him up but didn't want to leave. He was even tired when he got home from the fun at her house. Highly recommend!”
“This is the second time Shanna takes care of Galaxy. Great as always! Send sweet pictures and updates everyday. Very flexibility about pick up and drop off time. I am also glad to see Galaxy making so many different friends at Shanna’s house! :)”
“Maria was great! While on vacation we got delayed an extra night due to a tropical storm and she was quick to help and eased any worry of having a safe place for our dog. Chewy is a great pup but in need of a little extra attention and Maria easily fulfilled this as she only watched one dog at a time having Chewy return to us happy and healthy! We were also able to see updates on him through the pictures she sent and could see his personality still shining through as he was definitely comfortable in her care.”
“Erica is the BEST! She is so attentive, Wally got very comfortable around her very quickly. She is very caring and cautious, asking very detailed questions about my dog's habits and preferences and making sure he is comfortable and happy in her place. I also got many many photos of how my dog was doing, which was so lovely … Highly recommended!”
“Denise and her family were so wonderful! She sent pictures regularly and helped with scout when my flight was cancelled. Scout enjoyed her time with them and we are both grateful!”
“Jeffrey was amazing with communication from the start of booking all the way to the end of the trip. He truly eased my fears of leaving my dog for the first time ever. He took her on walks and just gave her so much love and TLC. He gave daily updates on my dog and even sent pictures. Eased my heart for sure. He was truly amazing with my dog Belle and I will definitely be using him in the future.”
“Bobbie and Clark are too good to be true! If I were to clone myself and times it by 10, that is the kind of love and care they gave my Gracie. She simply became a part of their family and they loved and cared for her exactly like that. Play time, swim time, nap time, all day every day. Bobbie even offered a service of picking her up and bringing her back home! Kind, sweet, genuine people with a real love for dogs ... Feeling so blessed to have found them ❤️”
“Makenzie did a great job with our dog for an overnight stay. She is caring , reliable, and great with dogs! She treated our dog like he was her own. Our dog got along great with her dog and they played together nicely. I cannot recommend Makenzie enough. I had no worries the whole time we were away. It was so great knowing our boy was in good hands! Thank you so much and we will definitely be contacting Makenzie next time we need care for our dog!”
“Becca was Awesome! We needed to book last minute and she was able to accommodate. We recieved lots of pictures and updates. My wife and I were very thrilled with the updates. Bo is extremely tired and I can tell they played alot. Would recommend Becca to anyone. We look forward to future bookings.”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”

“Trusting someone to come into your home and care for your animals is never easy… unless you get the chance to book Melissa. She sent photos and messages and went above and beyond. 10/10 totally recommend.”
“Karlee was a wonderful sitter for our cat Bobbie. She cared for our kitty as if she was her own, and kept in touch throughout the week, even alerting us to the landscapers in our back yard. We have already booked Karlee for the next time we are away!”
“Anne was wonderful with my cat, Lia. My cat seemed to enjoy the visits and extra attention. Anne was also great with communication and sending photos of what Lia was up to. Will definitely reach out to Anne in the future when needed!”
“Bethany was great ant accommodating all my needs and requests. My normally shy cat made a great connection and enjoying everytime she came over. Would 100% recommend Bethany to anyone with pet sitting needs.”
“Jenna did great and was very flexible. She even got some pets in with my rabbit who is usually wary of strangers or people in general so im very happy with the job she did!”
About: My family and I had a dog of our own for about 13 years during my childhood, allowing me to gain experience in feeding, training, and walking dogs. Now that she has sadly passed away, I would love to give other pets the same love I am no longer able to give to my own pet. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to smother your pets with my love! Late mornings and early afternoons are the times that typically work best for me, but I am flexible and willing to try anything! I will only allow pets that are fine being outside because my house does not allow pets indoors. I have a large yard surrounded by fields in a rural area where pets are free to roam in sight as long as they’re well-trained.
About: Any aged cat will always be a "kitten" to me! I grew up surrounded by felines, including caring for a beloved diabetic cat, so I am highly experienced with accurate medication scheduling and pilling. More than anything, I understand that cats are all about consent. I know how to read their body language, respect their boundaries, and let them set the pace for affection. Whether your kitty needs a patient pal to sit quietly nearby, a gentle playmate, or precise medical care, I am ready to be your purr-fectly reliable helper!
About: Cats have always been my favorite animals, despite working with just about every domestic animal. Grumpy cats (my personal favorite- I love a challenge!), playful kittens, Velcro cats, they’re all so fun to interact with. I’ve grown up taking care of cats, and have an almost annoying amount of knowledge about them. I am experienced in medicating especially difficult cats, and I can trim nails as well!
About: I love all animals. I have taken care of my family, friends, and my own pets for years. I am a huge believer in play and fun. I assist pets with a more active lifestyle with love. I am reliable and will treat your pet as my own. I too have been on extended trips and felt the worry associated with being gone. I understand how to calm pets and make the experience positive for all involved. I am an effective communicator and will give updates for piece of mind. I have had behavioral training. I hope to be your regular and become a true friend/ helper for your pet reducing all anxiety and offering a wonderful experience for your beloved pet. Good care and vibes only.
“My dog Betty is big, enthusiastic and full of energy. She is a lot of dog. Betty loved Mckenna from the moment she met her and I knew she would be well cared for. Mckenna took Betty out, walked her, fed her and hugged her. I’ve had Betty for four years and this in the first time I have tried something like this. It worked way better than I thought it would and I hope to work with Mckenna again in the future. She is an excellent caregiver.”
“Our normally well-behaved dogs decided to ransack their room while we were gone for an afternoon. Upon her arrival at our house, not only did Amanda straighten up their mess but she also fed them, spent plenty of time with them outside, sent me pics of her visit, and even left them treats for Christmas. Would highly recommend Amanda to anyone seeking a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter who goes the extra mile for her clients.”
“Sara has been a blessing for my cat and I. My cat used to be very anxious when I come home due my work hours; however, since having Sara's drop-ins she is very calm, sweet and playful when I come home-!!. Sara is very sweet and has a calm demeanor. She follows the given instructions , responds to messages on time, send you awesome pictures and videos and you can tell she tries to take care of your pet like one of her own. I would highly recommend her!!”
About: I have been around cats all my life. I grew up with a family of cats as a child. I had my own pet cat Marley in my early adulthood. I had him for 14 years. He is currently living with a friend who wouldn't give him back to me after watching him for a few months. I miss him, but it's all for the best as I have just recently moved to Bremerton. I also had a Saint Bernard who passed away of brian cancer in July 2021 at the age of 9.
About: I have grown up with several felines and canines my entire life. I have been responsible for their care for several years, including several animals in their older years. I possess a quite relaxed personality, which is beneficially picked up by most animals. I am also capable of providing necessary exercise for animals of an increased energetic disposition. Dog walks can be taken at a leisurely pace, or one more accelerated, depending on dog's needs. I am looking to supplement my current income, as well as enjoy the company of more cats and dogs. My current job offers flexible hours, so I am available most hours during the afternoon to night for necessary care needs (walks, feeding, letting out,vet appointments). I look forward to satisfying your pets needs.

“Erica was a god-send when we couldn’t take our dog with us to an event out of town. Her profile told me she’d be great and I was so grateful she was available. It was only for 5 hours but she managed to get our sometimes finicky and whiny dog to settle and eat her food when given! I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I have worked with numerous animals since I was 5 years old. I have owned chickens, rabbits, horses, dogs, and cats my entire life. I am a 4-H leader where I teach children how to train dogs and I help them show and prepare their animals at fair. I also show my own animals at the fair. Additionally, I have pet sat for numerous family members over the years as well as friends. I will always be there for your pet and I will make sure they are well taken care of and loved just like they are my own. I am a teacher who is currently on summer break. So my schedule is pretty open during the summer and I have a lot of availability. During the school year, most of my weekends are free as well as when we have breaks. I am flexible and willing to make things work for you! I live on a little hobby farm with my husband. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats who are very friendly. I have everything needed in my home to take care of a dog including a kennel if needed as well as tie outs. We have a lake that is 5 minutes from our house and if your dog loves to swim, I would be happy to take them. I take my dogs all over in the summer and I would make sure your pet gets a lot of attention and exercise as well. Additionally, we have a huge barn and fenced in pasture as well as rabbit hutches in the barn and a chicken coop! Whatever animal you have they can be comfortable at my property. Additionally, if you feel better about your animal staying at home, I am happy to accommodate to that as well.
“Emily took such good care of our Obi! Emily and her family took him in like their own! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was very attentive to all our puppy’s needs 😊 🩷 Would highly recommend Emily for all your pets needs!”
“We had a last-minute Rover request, and Bobbi responded quickly and made booking easy. Even though it was a short stay, we could tell our dog had a great time especially with Mercy, their adorable pug! Bobbi shared updates and photos, and Nova seemed to really enjoy their spacious backyard. Bobbi was so kind and welcoming. We’d absolutely recommend her to others!”
“Shelby was wonderful and communicated with us the entire stay and kept us updated on how they were doing. We are traveling and went to a Packers game and toured Greenbay. Pistol Annie and Stetson had great care and would highly recommend Shelby to keep your fur babies.”
“Shanna is the best! Such great care given to our pup. He absolutely loves getting to play at her house. He’s so excited the minute we get there because he gets lots of exercise and playtime!”
“I feel so comfortable leaving my pup with Melissa. My pup has such a good time and always comes home tired from playing all day! Would recommend, have used her more than once, and will definitely use her in the future.”
“Cristy was amazing! Her home was so cute and tidy. She has a sweet little dog that played so well with my dog whom normally doesn’t care much for others. Cristy was kind, communicative, and flexible.”
About: Our family loves animals. We have a comfortable home with a large yard. We have three caring boys that love pets. We are not quite ready to bring a dog into our home full-time because of traveling, but we love to have the company of a pet from time to time. Recently, our youngest has been showing allergy symptoms, so we are only able to watch hypo-allergenic dogs. The dog is treated like our own and spoiled during their stay with us. I work from home with my skincare business, so most of the day, I am home with the pets. We welcome potty trained dogs to our home that do well with children. We can adjust our care style to what makes you most comfortable. I also love to do drop in visits and fill the Rover cards with lots of info and pictures to keep your mind at ease. For these visits, the dogs can be any breed. I work from home and set my schedule, so being a Rover sitter is a nice little extra for me. It is easy to work with and around schedules. We have a large, unfenced backyard. We take dogs on nice walks around our neighborhood. We only board one dog at a time, so it feels like a family setting.
“Bobbie and Clark have watched our rescues a couple of times now, and seemed happy to see them again. Our most sensitive hesitant dog tried to follow Bonnie back the house when it was time to come home! Feel relieved to have them available to watch our loved ones when we can’t be home.”
About: Please read the entire profile. I did grow up with a Dalmatian dog. My dad was a firefighter, and came home with Pepper Christmas morning. My sister had a mini goldendoodle. I would stop daily after work around 3:45pm to play and take walks. I took a separation package from my employer 5/1/25 and now would like to offer walks, daycare, drop in visits and boarding . With boarding, For larger dogs, they WILL be crated at night. Your dog will be crated when I play pickleball in the mornings. I do have a crate(s). Please note if sending a request there may be a delay in responding due to pickleball between 9:30 - 12:30 approximate times. I currently have two dog walking appointments from 11:45am -1:45pm Monday-Thursday. Having retired 5/1/25, I have the time to provide loving care, playtime and walks with your pet. I will provide pictures and updates to you. No fence but can play fetch in the front/backyard or take your dog to dog park if they are ok with it. Please provide details or special needs. I look forward to providing belly rubs, snuggles and loving care.
“Mackenzie was an absolute joy to work with! She was highly communicative and we could tell she was very much a dog lover! Muggs had such a great time at her house with her. She asked all the right questions and we felt very comfortable with Mackenzie. Muggs will be back to visit! 😃👍🏼 Thanks Mackenzie!”
“I truly appreciate Colleen for taking care of my fur baby all day! She is super nice and took very good care of my fur baby! I definitely recommend her. If and when I am back in Greenbay I will for sure do another booking with her.”
About: I have been lucky to have owned pets nearly my entire life. Mostly dogs, but a cat and fish as well. My family fur baby passed in 2022 after nearly 14 years being our companion. I watch friends and family pets, and help them spur of the moment requests to drop in and let pets out. I recently retired, so I can be flexible with your needs for pet sitting. I can do drop in visits, or overnight at your place or mine. There are no other pets or children at my home. I will follow your instructions on feeding and handling your pet. I can give your pet all of my attention.
“Isaiah is a very knowledgeable and nurturing dog sitter. He handled my rambunctious pup with expert care, and his dog Finley graciously scaled down his play to match my wee one. Would highly recommend for walking, watching, or boarding.”

“Melissa does so well with sunny. She comes in on time, and made it so much easier for us as my wife had surgery and I was working from home. Highly highly recommend. I never worry where sunny is or what hes up to and he loves seeing her.”

About: Hi, I'm Melissa! I grew up surrounded by pets, and that passion grew into a lifelong career in animal care. I bring over a decade of professional facility experience to Rover, including serving as a Pack Leader at Tailwaggers Doggy Daycare and spending seven years as a specialized Caregiver at the world-renowned Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. There, I worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and behavioral needs, including dog-selective and dog-aggressive behaviors. Currently, I keep my skills sharp working part-time as a Kennel Technician at a daycare and boarding facility right here in Green Bay. Because of my professional background, I’m highly experienced with administering medications, recognizing subtle body language, and reinforcing basic training. I know how important routine is, so I am more than happy to strictly follow whatever household rules you have set for your pet. Whether your furbaby is a social butterfly or a quiet soul who needs a patient, gentle approach, I have the intuitive skills to make them feel safe and loved. When I’m not caring for your pets, I’m hanging out with my own senior "puppy," a 9-year-old dog named Alba (pictured with me!), and my 14-year-old "kitten." I love house-sitting, overnight stays, and dog walking, and my ultimate goal is to give you total peace of mind while you're away. I can’t wait to meet your furbabies! My part-time schedule as a local kennel technician makes me incredibly flexible for pet sitting! I work from 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM – 6:30 PM (about 25 hours a week), which leaves my entire midday window from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM wide open for lunchtime walks, playtime, and companionship. I am also available for quick check-ins before my morning shift, and my evenings are completely free after 6:30 PM for late-night cuddles and dedicated overnight stays. Because my daily job already centers around professional feeding, medicating, and cleaning, keeping your pet's routine seamless and sanitary between my shifts is second nature to me! My goal is to keep your pets in their happiest, most comfortable element, which is why I specialize in caring for them right in their own home! With over a decade of professional animal facility experience and a huge heart for all creatures, I pride myself on being the next best thing to you when you’re away. I am fully backed by Rover and prioritize open, consistent communication—sending you regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they are in safe hands. As a major bonus, I am an exceptionally tidy person who genuinely enjoys cleaning. My past clients have always loved coming home to happy, healthy, stress-free pets and a thoroughly clean, respected house! 🧽🐾
“We are fortunate to have Annie on an on-going basis to visit our dog Molly for potty breaks and walks while we are at work. Annie always responds promptly to any communication, questions or booking inquiries. When she visits Molly she leaves a detailed log about the visit. It's obvious that Annie loves pets and she goes above and beyond to give Molly love, affection, attention, exercise and an outdoor break each visit. When Annie is scheduled to visit, we know Molly will receive great care and a needed break and that gives us tremendous peace of mind. We love Annie!”
“Gracie was amazing with my shy, sweet girl. Took her on a long walk and ensured that she was comfortable the whole time! Communication was wonderful as well. Definitely recommend and will be contacting again!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with unique needs, including reactivity and behavioral challenges. I rescued my Australian Cattle Dog when she was three years old and have spent years training her and learning how to safely and compassionately manage reactivity around other animals and, at times, children. Through this experience, I’ve developed strong skills in reading animal body language, using positive reinforcement, and creating calm, structured environments. I truly love all animals and understand that every pet is different. I've taken care of friends and families pets in the past and I always have the absolute best time! I’m patient, attentive, and committed to providing the best possible care while you’re away, making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. I’m currently in my last semester college, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility in my schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my days, and I can give animals the attention they deserve. Spending time with furry friends is honestly the best way to spend time between and after class! I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and respect the rules and preferences set by their owner. I take the time to understand feeding schedules, play habits, and any specific instructions so that everyone feels comfortable and at ease. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for pets.
About: I’ve worked with variety of species, specializing with dogs! I have skills with grooming and training. I have 4 of my own dogs and do dog sports as well! I work from home so I have extra time to care for your pets and am able to move around my schedule. Saturdays are the only days I may not be able to take same day bookings! I understand crate and gate management and will make sure your animals are happy and healthy! As of right now I can’t offer boarding in my own home but maybe in the future
About: I owned a dog for over a decade, and babysat dogs/ cats many times. I worked with animals at a zoo so I’m good at reading them and respecting their boundaries! I work second shift (3-11pm) M-F so check ins would work best for those days. I can still dog/cat sit during the weekdays if you’re are okay with your pets being alone for a full shift, or being watched by my parents (while pets are boarded at our house). My weekends are completely open! I have a large backyard and tennis court. I also live near a very nice bike trail for long walks. I have no other animals in the house. I have ramps for small/old dogs.
About: I love taking care of all different kinds of pets, I love working with pets that have unique personalities. There is still so many breeds of both dogs and cats that I would love to be able to take care of. I am currently working part-time at a pet boarding/ daycare facility and still going to school. I still seem to have time that I feel as if I am wasting and need something to fill that void. In my clients home I will try to stick to the instructions that they give me when I am caring for their pet. I will also do anything extra depending on the pet and the different needs that they may have. (Ex. If they are a senior pet or a puppy)
About: I am specialized in training all types of dogs! I make sure that the dog is taken care of and is having a blast while the parents are gone! I am very outgoing, active, and good at communicating. I currently work part time as a server so I am available whenever just may have to step away for a couple hours to waitress. I have tons of grass area at my house, and have a ton of room as well for the dog to move around and play when needed!
About: Several years of experience with out pay. I have been around pups and dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. I am extremely great with animals. I promise to take care of your family member just as I would my own. Mine are most likely better taken care of then most people's children! I am very efficient, caring and wear my heart on my sleeve. I also have fostered animals in need. You will be nothing less than happy with my services. I am used to working with large animals to small animals. I want to be able to make the animals feel like they are at home when they see me walking through the door. I hope this all helps you when considering me.
About: I grew up around cats and have been living with dogs since I was 20. My first experience with dogs was my roommates/bestfriends Rottweiler. I knew the dogvtill the day he died. I got my first dog when I was around 30, a Saint Bernard. He pasted away July 2021, he was my best buddy. He suffered from cancer his last months and needed lots of special care. I have no problems caring for senior dogs, big dogs, active dogs, lazy dogs or puppies! I have experience managing multiple large breed dogs at the same time. I currently am unemployed as I just moved to Bremerton(to be with my girlfriend) a few weeks ago. I love dogs, they are my favorite. I treat dogs with respect and kindness. Lots of playtime, petting, and walks. If the dog is looking for attention I will give it to them. I lived with a Saint Bernard, there was no ignoring him!
About: Hello. My name is Kirsten. Thank you for considering me to take care of your fur baby(ies). I have been pet sitting for three or more years. In 2014, I had fought my phobia. I had a fear of dogs which I continued to fight. After two years, I started to volunteer bringing therapy dogs to nursing homes and I even started pet sitting an english Mastiff, Golden retriever and three cats. I have found my love for dogs and cats and continue to petsit. I also go on fun walks with dogs. I also have taken care of rabbits as well. There is no other way to have the best day ever but to have the best day ever with your fur babies. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet(s). I am currently babysitting from 7:30am to 1pm on weekdays and I work 5a to 5p on Saturdays. I have open availability besides those times. I don’t provide boarding in my own home but when I am caring for pets in your home, I ask that you please provide to me in writing what medications, feed times, veterinarian numbers, your number, and all other information.

“Anu and her family did a wonderful job of taking care of our Trooper. He had a fantastic time and took quite the nap after getting home from all the playing! They made sure they knew Trooper’s routine and we received pictures and videos multiple times a day to keep us updated on how he was doing. I highly recommend Anu and her family to care for your pet!”
“Bobbi was absolutely amazing with Franklin! She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she truly loves dogs and treated him like one of her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Melissa and her family was amazing! We were so nervous bringing our very geriatric dog (16yr, 5mo) to anyone, but she really made us feel at ease. She has experience with other geriatric dogs and her own yorkie. We received an update and pictures of a very happy dog while we were on vacation. He was ready to go when I said I'd pick him up but didn't want to leave. He was even tired when he got home from the fun at her house. Highly recommend!”
“This is the second time Shanna takes care of Galaxy. Great as always! Send sweet pictures and updates everyday. Very flexibility about pick up and drop off time. I am also glad to see Galaxy making so many different friends at Shanna’s house! :)”
“Erica is the BEST! She is so attentive, Wally got very comfortable around her very quickly. She is very caring and cautious, asking very detailed questions about my dog's habits and preferences and making sure he is comfortable and happy in her place. I also got many many photos of how my dog was doing, which was so lovely … Highly recommended!”
“Denise and her family were so wonderful! She sent pictures regularly and helped with scout when my flight was cancelled. Scout enjoyed her time with them and we are both grateful!”
“Jeffrey was amazing with communication from the start of booking all the way to the end of the trip. He truly eased my fears of leaving my dog for the first time ever. He took her on walks and just gave her so much love and TLC. He gave daily updates on my dog and even sent pictures. Eased my heart for sure. He was truly amazing with my dog Belle and I will definitely be using him in the future.”
“Makenzie did a great job with our dog for an overnight stay. She is caring , reliable, and great with dogs! She treated our dog like he was her own. Our dog got along great with her dog and they played together nicely. I cannot recommend Makenzie enough. I had no worries the whole time we were away. It was so great knowing our boy was in good hands! Thank you so much and we will definitely be contacting Makenzie next time we need care for our dog!”
“Becca was Awesome! We needed to book last minute and she was able to accommodate. We recieved lots of pictures and updates. My wife and I were very thrilled with the updates. Bo is extremely tired and I can tell they played alot. Would recommend Becca to anyone. We look forward to future bookings.”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Kelley and her Husband were AWESOME! SUPER friendly and kept me update on my Thorin. My Thorin seemed extremely happy and they took good care of him. Remind you guys, my Throin is. Belgian Malinois and I thought he was going to be too much for Kelley and her husband. But they were able to keep up with him. HIGHLY recommend!!!!”
About: With over 17 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a lifetime of hands‑on knowledge and a genuine love for pets of all ages. I’ve raised dogs from puppyhood through their senior years and have helped neighbors for many years with reliable cat‑sitting and general pet‑care support. My background includes basic training skills, experience with a wide range of temperaments, and the ability to provide gentle care for seniors, energetic play for younger dogs, and everything in between. Our home offers a family‑style, country‑living environment where pets can relax and enjoy plenty of space. Dogs have access to both indoor and outdoor dog‑run areas, regular walks, and supervised playtime. Light grooming—such as brushing and simple upkeep—is also available to help your pet feel clean and comfortable throughout their stay. I treat every pet like part of the family and strive to make their time here safe, enriching, and full of the comfort they deserve. I work from home, which allows me to flexibility to help keep a consistent and attentive routine for the pets in my care. Dogs can enjoy potty breaks, playtime, and walks throughout the day, including: • Early‑morning walks • Midday/noon walks • Later‑day or early‑evening walks Your dog will also have 24‑hour access to a safe indoor/outdoor dog run, giving them freedom to stretch, sniff, and relax whenever they’d like. For downtime or pups who prefer structure, I provide a clean, comfortable crate area upon request. My flexible schedule and home setup ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and a calm, country‑style environment throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Our home offers a secure, family‑friendly environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. We provide a fully fenced indoor/outdoor dog run, giving dogs a safe space to explore, stretch, and enjoy fresh country air throughout the day. For structure, naps, or dogs who prefer their own space, I offer a clean and comfortable crate option upon request. Dogs enjoy regular walking options, including strolls around our spacious lawn and yard area, perfect for sniffing, exploring, and getting gentle exercise. Our home is a true family setting, with children who are experienced and respectful around pets, a friendly and playful three‑year‑old Labrador retriever, and a gentle house cat who is calm around visiting animals. This creates a warm, social atmosphere for pets who enjoy companionship and calm routines for those who prefer quieter spaces. I strive to provide a safe, trustworthy, and welcoming environment where every pet feels cared for like one of our own.
“10/10 Highly recommend! Jamie did an amazing job with our pups. We haven't left them before for any period of time, so were a bit nervous about how they would do. Jamie was exactly the person they needed. She welcomed them into her home and made their stay absolutely perfect.”
About: An LPN by trade, I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Since I was a little girl, dogs and cats have held a special place in my heart, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Anyone who knows me personally knows how deeply I love animals and how important they are to me. My own dogs are truly part of my family—they’re my babies—and I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and family members regularly rely on me to watch and board their beloved pets when they travel. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for daily walks, playing, providing companionship, or simply making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When your pet is in my care, I will treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a loving, dependable, and stress-free experience for both you and your furry family member, so you can have peace of mind knowing they are receiving plenty of attention, affection, and care. As a nurse who is currently taking a break from my career, I have the time and flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. My mornings start with potty breaks, breakfast, and plenty of love and attention for the pets in my care. After a relaxing coffee break, we head out for a daily walk, with the distance tailored to each pet’s age, energy level, and abilities—anywhere from a leisurely stroll to a 1–3 mile adventure. The rest of the day includes playtime, cuddles, companionship, and ensuring your pet feels comfortable and secure. I understand how much pet parents miss their furry family members, so I’m happy to send photos and videos to keep you updated and give you peace of mind. Afternoons are typically a time for rest and relaxation, followed by supper and another walk in the evening if needed. Because I am home throughout the day, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, exercise, and affection. My goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable, safe, and loving as possible—just like they are part of my own family. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. While we do not have a fenced yard, I am committed to responsible pet care and will always use a leash when outdoors—without exception. I understand that pets are cherished family members, and I take every precaution to keep them safe. My home is shared with two friendly, low-key dogs who enjoy daily walks, relaxing in the sunshine, and plenty of couch cuddles. They are accustomed to being around other pets and help create a calm, welcoming environment. Whether your pet enjoys activity and adventure or prefers quiet companionship and affection, I will do my best to make them feel comfortable, loved, and right at home.
