“Emma was awesome! She had our shetland sheepdog for over two weeks. We did a meet and greet to make sure everyone would get along. It went well and we were very comfortable leaving Nikki for a long time with Emma. Communication was fast for everything. Emma sent pics and an update almost everyday. Nikki was clearly enjoying herself. We would definitely have Emma dogsit Nikki again.”
“Chelsea and her family have been watching Bowser and Bali regularly and it is always such a comfort to know they are in such good hands while I’m traveling for work. They love coming over and runs to the door every time we get here. And Chelsea is so thoughtful in the way that she will help to make sure that the visit goes well. We could not recommend Chelsea more! She is amazing!!”
“Piper's stay with Lisa was great. Based on the photos and stories Lisa sent daily, I was doubtful that Piper would even want to come home again. Lisa's dog, Rio, was a fun playmate and they ran around her fenced in backyard all day. Lisa sent photos of Piper snuggling with her children during nap time. I have no doubt Piper was well loved and well cared for while we were away and I will definitely use Lisa again!”

“Frank and Julie are the best! They are very responsive and give great updates with pictures and videos. They have a nice big fenced in area where our pup loves to run around. It’s hard for us to leave our pup, but we know she is in good hands with Frank and Julie. Highly recommend!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bobbi was absolutely amazing with my Lily while I was traveling! Lily is super clingy and anxious and I was nervous to leave her, but she was so well-taken care of.. to the point that she fell in love with Bobbi’s husband. 😂 I had zero worries the entire time - Bobbi sent just the right amount of updates/pics and it was super clear Lily was happy and just fine without me. I’m so grateful and would 100% recommend her to anyone!”
“My Sheltie,Cody, absolutely loves when he gets to stay at Gina’s house. He goes on walks with her and has lots of fun and friends to hang out with. I can leave leave him with her and know he’s in the best care. Hands down…without a doubt…Gina is my go-to dog sitter. If I can’t get Gina I don’t go on vacation, simple as that 💙💜💙”
“Emily was fantastic! Our dog loved every minute of being there. She was very communicative during our week long vacation and made sure to send lots of photos of our Pen getting loved on. We will absolutely be booking with Emily for any future trips or just for a small pooch vaca for our dog. We highly recommend!”
“Maria took such great care of our pup while we were away! She sent us pictures with updates, which made us feel connected! I highly recommend Maria for care, we will be booking again for future needs!”
“Bobbie and Clark did a lovely job taking care of my dog, Lucky, when I was out of town. Great updates, and I really appreciated their tailoring care to his personality with lots of walks. Thank you so much!”
“Kiana was great with Simmba! She sent pictures, and kept us updated on his wellbeing. She was always very flexible when we needed to change our dates. She’s reliable and we would definitely use her again!”
“Once again Jessica and Chase took great care of our puppy! I feel so comfortable leaving her with them overnight, and I get pictures and updates of her stay with them for a peace of mind. Great people!”
“Karen and Chris were great with our cat! He can be a bit annoying looking for attention but they were patient and he was spoiled and well cared for. Looking forward to booking with them again.”
“Kota took on my 13 week old puppy and I am so pleased with how well my puppy did at her home! Kota snuggled and loved and cared for her like she was her own! She communicated daily and sent the cutest pictures! I give my highest recommendation to her! So much better than a kennel when you need boarding! Your pet will be welcomed into their home and treated like a family member!”
“Korri and James are very thoughtful and caring and I really appreciate all the communication (updates and photos) while Mica is with them. They really treat Mica like she’s part of their family and do such a great job in learning Mica’s personality. It’s hard for me leaving Mica, but I am so grateful to have found Korri and James for a safe and comfortable place for Mica to stay while we’re away. Thank you both so much!”
“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.”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking such good care of our doggie while we were away for a week. Knowing he was being loved and cared for like he is a member of your family gave us such a peace of mind.”
“Sadie’s was a great pet caregiver to our 4 month old puppy. This was the first time we left him with someone for a few days, and, he loved it! She shared pictures throughout his stay of his playtime and nap time. He was a tired puppy when he came home. He will visit with her again!”

“This was the first time Lisa visited Simmy and Izzy. She was very thorough and I appreciated the report card and pictures. Her detail was much appreciated and I look forward to her visits in the future!”
“Debbie took the time to let Mick get used to her. She truly cares about the pets she cares for. If I ever need services in the future, I will definitely be asking for her. I'm sure Mick will miss her.”
“Ella was amazing watching our kitties while we were gone! She had great communication and sent us multiple pictures everyday to check in! She is very kind and even got our very shy kitty to open up to her! We will absolutely book with her again and I will recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter!”
“Very prompt and punctual. She hung out with my dog, Willow, and even made a pile of sticks for her in the yard (her favorite things in the world are her sticks). Lots of photos and videos of their time together were appreciated”
“Laura was absolutely incredible! She treated my animals like her own, followed my instructions to a T (because one of my cats takes meds), used the Rover card daily with detailed updates and plenty of cute photos, and showed my cats plenty of love when I was away and unable to. She was phenomenal and I will absolutely be using her again in the future!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs growing up. Right now I have 2 cats and a dog. I love pets and caring for them with whatever they need! I work full time as a nurse. I’m any spare time I am more than willing to lend a hand in helping out with your pets needs. I have a yard at my house, along with lots of sidewalks to take walks on. I live upstairs in my house so have lots of spare room.
About: I have two cats of my own and have also fostered them. I have experience with giving medications, scheduled feedings, daily litter box cleanings and other basic cat care. Animals are my passion and I’d love to help care for yours!

“Emily was outstanding! She completed several early morning drop-ins for our cats over the holiday period with no problem. We had somewhat specific instructions and Emily was able to complete everything with ease. Through the photos and updates Emily provided daily, it was evident our two cats were very comfortable with Emily and enjoyed her company. When the need arises for future drop-ins, we will definitely book with Emily again!!”
About: Practically my whole life I've taken care of kitties. I've had 8 cats total in my lifetime, each of them living long lasting lives. Currently 4 of those 8 are still alive and healthy! I have two senior cats, both 15, and 2 younger cats, one 8 and one 2, all female. I know how to give oral medication, and you can guide me through injections if needed. I've cleaned plenty of litter boxes in my life too. I currently occasionally care for my neighbors kitties when they go out of town since I'm always around so often. You'll never have to worry about your cats when I'm taking care of them! I'll send you plenty of photos and videos too.
About: I have taken care of many of my friends pets since I was 12 which includes staying overnight at their homes when they are gone for weeks. I do long and short care sitting for pets. I love to spend time with pets and making sure they get the care they deserve. I am currently not working right now but will have a part time job soon. I will talk with the owners and work out a good schedule that will work best for all. Growing up we have used an invisible fence and radio collars to keep our dogs in our yard. We made sure to check in on them periodically while they were outside. While I'm taking care of my friends pets, I would play inside and outside with them, go on walks with them, and make sure they get the best care.
“Katie was excellent. We had a short meet and greet before our booking. She provided updates during her visits and had great communication with us the entire time. Ozzy really loved his time with her.”
“Wonderful! Alexus took great care of our 2 house rabbits while we were away. She sent updates and let us know how things were going. We came home to happy bunnies with full bellies. I've already booked for the next weekend we'll be away!”
About: I've had three black labs in my life, who have turned me into a dog obsessed human! When I attend social gatherings, I am usually found hanging out with the dog giving it some loving attention. When I was younger I walked my neighbors' dogs. One of these dogs was deaf and I learned different ways to communicate with him. I am friendly and compassionate and will provide your pet with warmth and snuggles while you are away! I work full time during the week, but evenings and most weekends I'm free to care for dogs. Whether your pup is looking for a quick walk, a mozy around the neighborhood, an active, engaging play session, or an overnighter- I will, with the occasional help of my labrador, Bella along with our dog friend, Frankie, make sure to keep your pup happy and occupied. I have a fenced in yard, a couple of friendly dogs of my own, and can crate your pup with their own crate, so please provide if crating is preferred. I prefer a meet and greet to ensure a good fit for your pup. That would look different depending on the service. Dog walking and House Sitting: I will meet you and your fur friend at your home - this will help establish trust and familiarity for the dog while you are there. At this point we can go over the safest entry into your home, routines for your pup, and any specific care requirements. Doggy Day Care and Boarding: You will meet at my home. Where I will bring my two dogs out to meet you and your pup (everybody leashed) and we can talk and sniff and ensure initial vibes are correct for everybody's safety. When we confirm that the dogs are showing no signs of threat/discomfort, we can move everybody into the gated area of our yard and let your dog off leash. We have lots of smells and space to roam about, so this should be an exciting little adventure for your friend. At this point you can share any specific care instructions and routines important to your dog's happiness.
About: Love for animals! I believe animals should be treated with kindness, respect and love. I have raised, taken care of and babysat dogs, cats and other animals since I was young plus have been blessed with a variety of furbabies over the years. I am very patient and understand that each person/animal has their own way and schedule that I’m more then willing to learn. I would be very happy to spend time with your furbaby/furbabies playing, cuddling, feeding and/or walking... I don’t mind doing last minute appointments, helping with vacations or even just being someone’s back up person. We all need a little extra help once in a while. I have a lot of experience with cats also and would be more than willing to come to your house to feed, brush, clean the litter and play, to give them exercise. Same with birds or any small animals. Thank you for reading and I hope to meet your furbaby someday soon!!

“Highly recommend Chelsea! She was very easy to communicate with and was able to take Voss on short notice when we had to be in town unexpectedly. My dog had a fun day playing with her dogs in the fenced back yard and house. She even trimmed his nails for us which was really great. We’ll be back if we need care in Oshkosh again!”
“Emma was great, she went above & beyond to make sure Indagos stay was great! She's so good with him. I'm so thankful she likes him & Indago liked her. I was worried being a blue healer with lots of energy. Only God could provide such a great dog sitter for him. 💛🐕💛”

“This is the second time I’ve booked with Don for doggy daycare. He sends photo and video updates throughout the day and takes time to ensure my dog is having fun at him home! There is lots of space for him to run and play outside. Don is the best when it comes to communicating and caring for my pup.”
“Kota was great with our pup Amelia. We hadn’t ever had anyone else watch her and kota definitely put my mind at ease by sending lots of pictures and updates. We aren’t from the area but if we are ever back we would definitely have her watch Amelia again. Also love that she has a fully fenced yard, huge plus and add more peace of mind.”

“My dogs had an amazing day! I got updates and pictures throughout the day! They got to go for a walk! My youngest dog was sleeping less than 5 minutes into our drive home. I would give 10 stars if I could!!”

About: Hello! My name is Sadie. I’m a board certified behavior analyst who works with children on the Autism Spectrum. I have a soft spot in my heart for all animals- I was that child that stepped over ants to avoid squishing them. I grew up with a Springer Spaniel, cats, and a rabbit (: I currently have 3 cats, Nimi, Gizmo, Figarro, and a dog named Perci.

Meet and greets are important to me for boarding to ensure it’s a good fit for your dog. However, I understand if it is not feasible. I have a dog and 3 cats who are free to roam the house and are allowed on furniture. My dog sleeps with me so yours is more than welcome to join the snuggle party! I also have a daughter (3 years old) who loves her animals, so your fur baby will get lots of love from all of us.

“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!”
“My Jojo loved her stay with Maria today! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. I appreciated all the timely communication- even before we arrived. Amazing service. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi I'm Matt. I'm a big animal lover, and have been in the animal field for 15yrs working with all different types of wildlife. Have experience in giving vaccines(IM or SQ), oral meds, and basic care. I have since moved onto a new adventure in lawncare. I have been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with a German Shepherd, a purebred Samoyed, and a tabby cat. Currently, I have 2 beagle-shepherd mixes, Hunter and Holmes, who are 2 of the sweetest boys you will meet. We are often outdoors taking our daily walk, hiking local state parks, camping, or just working in the yard. I have always loved being around animals, especially dogs, and find that having them brings such happiness to life. The boys and I are together daily. I currently work typically Mondays thru Fridays sometimes varied or longer hours. However, we always make time to go for a walk daily, and on the weekends typically are out exploring. Hunter gets meds twice a day in a pill supplement as well as I trim their nails and baths occasionally. I currently rent a duplex that has a fenced backyard, and also have a spare bedroom and wire kennel if needed. Typically my dogs free roam during the day, and are good to be alone overnight or up to 10hrs which can allow me to spend time with your furry friend.
“Kimberly and her sweet son were so kind and welcoming. She was very conscientious of my dog's needs and sent many photos/updates throughout the day. Playtime and trails walks wore her out! She slept the whole way home. Thank you for taking such good care of our Emma!”

“Debbie was wonderfully caring for our dog Finley. Paying extra attention that he had a good walk and ate his dinner. She communicated every step of the way and made us feel so comfortable leaving our little guy behind.”
About: I absolutely love dogs and I have one of my own but I have grown up with a house of 3 dogs. I have always stepped in when family friends needed a sitter or just needed someone to walk their puppies. I love sending update pictures throughout the time I am watching the dogs and have great control. One of my families dogs is not too social with other dogs or males so I have experience working with dogs similar. My other dog can run and run for hours and I am able to keep up! I have dog sat many senior dogs and have experience giving them meds. I would love to work with you and your fur babies! This summer I have will have dog and cat sitting/walking as my only job so I will have lots of time to play and care for your fur babies! I will not be offering care in my home for it is too small and does not have a yard but when I am caring for your fur babies in your home I am respectful and Make sure not to make any mess. If your puppy needs a friend I can bring my basset hound over for a play date, if not that is totally fine and I have experience with dogs who are not social with other dogs. I have a vehicle that can fit small and big dogs if needed and if you would like them to go to the dog park I am able to do that! For just dog walking I have containers to bring so your puppy will not get thirsty along the way and I am able to come over to walk them at random and last minute most days:)
About: I have a mastiff and lab at home so I'm comfortable with walking small or large breed dogs. I can do drop in or walking . Retired after 26 years of working in law enforcement and am much happier spending my days helping with pets. I have a very open and flexible availability. I am not able to care for your pets in my home due to my mastiff being extremely territorial. I am comfortable doing drop in care or walking your pets.

I can bathe, trim nails, clean ears. I'm extremely responsible and reliable and have completed several cerificate courses regarding training, care, behavior modification, in addition to my hand's on experience. I love working with animals! At the moment my schedule is wide open. I am taking onlines classes and am lucky to not have to work a typical 9-5 job. We have a fenced-in yard. Inside my home, I can baby gate your dog(s) in our dining room and kitchen area if need be. Whatever instructions of care I am given will be followed as specified.
About: I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience with a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, birds, turtles, lizards, fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks. I have experience with temperamental or reactive animals as well. Animals are my passion and both friends and family know they can rely on me to provide exceptional care, love and respect to their fur babies while they are away. No animal is too big or too small! I am currently unemployed and in the job searching process so I have a very open and flexible schedule. Whether you need dog walking services or in-home care I can more than likely make it work for your needs! I have a beagle/boxer mix who gets daily walks and has a big fenced in yard to enjoy at our home. I also have two cats, a classic brown tabby and a petite tuxedo girly. We are unique as we bring all of our animals camping so they get to experience the outdoors with us! My animals are treated like my children and part of the family which is exactly how I would treat yours. I honestly prefer animals over humans.
About: “God speaks to the creatures through the creatures.” -Dr. Chase. “All you need is love.” -John Lennon. Plenty of love I have to give, but I also have the experience of 35 years as a science teacher. I’m well-versed in how animals like dogs and cats talk to us through their gestures. Dogs evolved with humans, and I understand that relationship and how dogs meet our emotional needs. Please read my first four reviews which I received from pet owners that I served even before signing up with Rover. The pet owner decides when treats are allowed, if table scraps are allowed, and how much food to give. The dog decides when it wants to go potty. 😉 Just in case, I usually take the dog out before it decides and always before any discomfort. Snuggles welcome. 🐾🥰😻 When serving you and your pet, I like to send pictures. We can also use FaceTime or Zoom to check in. 🐶🤩 At age 61, I’ve been a retired teacher for 3 years, and my activity level allows me to run or play with your beloved dog. In your home, I follow instructions and do the routine for your beloved just like you would. However, if I’m allowed to give more snuggles, or more walks, or more training than you normally have time for, I’m at your service.

“Gigi is terrific! She's warm and friendly, professional, has experience with a variety of dogs, and seems to really love animals. Everything has gone very smoothly and we could not recommend her more!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and truly enjoy building trust with each animal I work with. I have experience with in-home dog sitting for families while they are on vacation, as well as daytime dog walking and regular drop-in visits.

I care for pets as if they were my own, with a focus on safety, consistency, and lots of attention. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible with feeding schedules, walks, and playtime so they experience minimal disruption.

I am flexible and available to customize to your dogs needs. I offer long walks, feedings, and lots of love and company. My dogs Hudson and Sadie are my pride and joy. I spend a lot of time outside with them and inside enrichment toys and puzzles. Sadie is a Blue Heeler and she needs lots of mental stimulation. I also have a kitten named Oreo who thinks he is a dog. I work from home so I am home 90% of the time. Please feel free to message me and we can talk about your dogs needs. I can send you pictures throughout the stay if you would like as well. I am home 80% of the time. It is something I am passionate about and love. I also run a small business from home so never worry about your fur babies being alone. I have three dogs of my own so adding a few more to my daily routine makes it just a little more fun. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I have two of my own dogs to keep your animals active and playing. I do prefer the dog to be crated at night for their safety. I have an alarm system as well as outside video surveillance.

About: With a lifetime of experience around animals, I’m not just a sitter—I’m a true pet lover. Growing up with two dogs, and now caring for my two cats at school, I understand the unique needs of each pet.

I treat every pet with the same love, attention, and care, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well taken care of while you're away.

“Chelsea and her family have been watching Bowser and Bali regularly and it is always such a comfort to know they are in such good hands while I’m traveling for work. They love coming over and runs to the door every time we get here. And Chelsea is so thoughtful in the way that she will help to make sure that the visit goes well. We could not recommend Chelsea more! She is amazing!!”
“Piper's stay with Lisa was great. Based on the photos and stories Lisa sent daily, I was doubtful that Piper would even want to come home again. Lisa's dog, Rio, was a fun playmate and they ran around her fenced in backyard all day. Lisa sent photos of Piper snuggling with her children during nap time. I have no doubt Piper was well loved and well cared for while we were away and I will definitely use Lisa again!”
About: Our family has a huge heart for animals and want to extend that to your furry friend! My two daughters and I love animals and can’t wait to start pet sitting! Hi! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule! Plenty of time for fun and fetch, Nice big backyard for all the activities! Please feel free to reach out! I have a fenced in yard and one playful black lab who will be sure to keep your furry friend entertained and happy to be here!
“Frank and Julie are the best! They are very responsive and give great updates with pictures and videos. They have a nice big fenced in area where our pup loves to run around. It’s hard for us to leave our pup, but we know she is in good hands with Frank and Julie. Highly recommend!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bobbi was absolutely amazing with my Lily while I was traveling! Lily is super clingy and anxious and I was nervous to leave her, but she was so well-taken care of.. to the point that she fell in love with Bobbi’s husband. 😂 I had zero worries the entire time - Bobbi sent just the right amount of updates/pics and it was super clear Lily was happy and just fine without me. I’m so grateful and would 100% recommend her to anyone!”
“My Sheltie,Cody, absolutely loves when he gets to stay at Gina’s house. He goes on walks with her and has lots of fun and friends to hang out with. I can leave leave him with her and know he’s in the best care. Hands down…without a doubt…Gina is my go-to dog sitter. If I can’t get Gina I don’t go on vacation, simple as that 💙💜💙”
“Emily was fantastic! Our dog loved every minute of being there. She was very communicative during our week long vacation and made sure to send lots of photos of our Pen getting loved on. We will absolutely be booking with Emily for any future trips or just for a small pooch vaca for our dog. We highly recommend!”
“Kota took on my 13 week old puppy and I am so pleased with how well my puppy did at her home! Kota snuggled and loved and cared for her like she was her own! She communicated daily and sent the cutest pictures! I give my highest recommendation to her! So much better than a kennel when you need boarding! Your pet will be welcomed into their home and treated like a family member!”
“Korri and James are very thoughtful and caring and I really appreciate all the communication (updates and photos) while Mica is with them. They really treat Mica like she’s part of their family and do such a great job in learning Mica’s personality. It’s hard for me leaving Mica, but I am so grateful to have found Korri and James for a safe and comfortable place for Mica to stay while we’re away. Thank you both so much!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Don was very responsive and kept us up to date during our dog’s stay. Don was very friendly and our boys came home tired from playing and very happy. Pick up and drop off were a breeze and there was a large yard full of toys for them to play with. I will for sure use Don again the next time we are in the area!”
“Did an amazing job taking care of my special needs Frenchie (blind). She kept me updated, sent pics and allowed my granddaughter to visit him while he was there. Definitely use again.”
About: Dogs have always been part of our family. Most recently, we shared 12 wonderful years with our yellow lab, JD. After an aggressive cancer diagnosis, we spent his final months providing senior care, treatments, extra comfort, and all the love he deserved. Saying goodbye was heartbreaking, but it reminded us just how much love we still have to give to dogs. We live on a fully fenced half-acre with plenty of room for sniffing, exploring, playing fetch, and zoomies. Inside, your dog will find comfortable places to relax, nap, and feel right at home. Daily walks, playtime, and plenty of attention are all part of the experience. What sets us apart is our lifelong experience as pet owners and our commitment to treating every dog like family. I also have experience as a professional dog groomer, which has given me additional knowledge of canine behavior, handling, grooming needs, and overall care. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, an active adult, or a senior who needs a slower pace and extra patience, we understand that every pet is unique. We know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving home away from home where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and loved. One of us is almost always home, allowing us to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. During the workweek, we work remotely and build regular potty breaks, play sessions, and walks into our routine (weather and temperatures permitting). Weekends offer even more opportunities for outdoor time in our fully fenced half-acre yard, where dogs can safely explore, sniff, play, and enjoy plenty of zoomies. When it's time to relax, your pup can curl up indoors on comfortable cushions and enjoy all the attention and affection they want. We believe dogs thrive when they're part of the family, so your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will receive the same care, comfort, and love we'd want for our own. Your dog's safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a quiet home with no children, no other pets, and very few visitors, creating a calm environment where dogs can relax and feel secure. Our fully fenced half-acre yard provides plenty of space for supervised outdoor play, exploration, and exercise. We avoid using pesticides and weed treatments to help maintain a pet-safe environment both inside and outside the home. We understand that every dog has different needs and routines. We have dog gates available to create comfortable spaces when needed, and a crate can be provided for dogs who are crate-trained or simply feel more secure having a space of their own. Whether your dog loves to play, lounge in the sun, or curl up for a nap indoors, we'll tailor their care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. When caring for pets, we follow their owners' routines and preferences as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. Our goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and love that we would want for our own dog.
“Ganelle and her family were great. She was responsive and took great care of my Kena during our holiday break. She sent multiple pictures and updates during her stay. Would highly recommend Ganelle if you were looking for a sitter.”
“Nikki is amazing, her daughter too. My dog Lucy fell in love with this house and family! She felt at home right away. Nikki sent lots of pictures, and that was fabulous, as this was my first time leaving my dog with anyone other than family. Highly recommend her.”
“This is the second time my best buddy stayed with Kelly. I can’t recommend them more highly. Everything is just super easy and it felt like they genuinely wanted to treat my guy like a member of the family. While on vacation, it was so great seeing daily pics and updates. He got cuddles and play, came back tired but that’s great. Again, I would give 10 stars if it was possible.”
About: As someone who loves both dogs and cats, I understand that every animal has a unique personality. I know that some pets want nonstop playtime while others prefer quiet companionship. I take the time to make pets feel comfortable and respected, helping reduce stress while their owners are away. From energetic dogs to cuddly cats and senior pets needing extra attention, I provide personalized care for every animal I meet. 🐾❤️ I’m currently working part time as a server at a restaurant and the shift are very short 4-5 hours. I only work a fees shifts a week so I can be there for your pets a majority of the day!! I have a 1 bedroom apartment but it’s always clean, and there’s plenty of room! I do have a cat of my own so I would prefer to watch your pet at your home!
“My dog Luna spent a week at Anna & George's home, which was her 1st time with a pet sitter. She did well, and I appreciated that Anna shared a couple photos during Luna's stay, which helped reassure me since it's a new relationship. Anna kept Luna's routine, including walks and some play time, and gave her lots of TLC.”
