Highly-rated overnight sitters - Wells
“Anu and her family treated Duncan as their own! She kept us up to date on how Duncan was doing by sending us wonderful pictures and videos. Lots of love and fun! Duncan had a great time and we didn't worry a bit about our pup! Thank you Anu and family, we will certainly use your services again with Duncan.”
“Bobbi was a fabulous sitter to my dog Duke. She’s caring, responsive and connected with us often while watching Duke. Her yard is a playground for all pups. Truly grateful to have found her! One of my best experiences with Rover!”
“Amazing person! She knew how it was my first time getting a puppy sitter and I was worried and not let alone nervous but Emily was 100% able to re-ensure me that My baby girl would do Amazing! Love Emily and her family already for doing such amazing job with my baby girl and prove to me that everything WILL be okay!! She even sent me pictures and videos, I had tons of happy tears even though I missed my baby girl!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Emily and her dog Curry are both super sweet! Emily stayed in contact with us to calm our anxiety over our Zoe’s first stay with her. We were super impressed that Curry was so kind and gentle with little Zoe as well. Look forward to our next visit!”
“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!”
“By far my dog’s favorite sitter! She is always treated like part of their family and she has so much fun playing with their dogs. I love all the photos and the run down of all the fun playtime she got during the day!”
“Karen took great care of our boy- very communicative and patient with his minor separation anxiety- if we find ourselves back in town we’ll be happy to work with her again!”
“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!”
“Erika is an angel! First of all she agreed to care for our puppy 2 days after being spayed. Then our puppy did not do well and became ill with diarrhea and vomiting. She kept in close contact with us and continued to care for her. She had to make special food for our pup because of her diarrhea. Erika is just the sweetest person you will meet and she even washed all of the items in her kennel. We can not say enough positive things about her - if you need an angel to take care of your dog baby consider Erika!”
“I'm thrilled to share my fantastic experience with Kristina, who cared for Hiro. Hiro had an incredible time and returned home happy and content. Kristine provided excellent care, and I appreciated her commitment to ensuring Hiro's well-being. She helped burn energy out of my high-energy Samoyed pup; I highly recommend her services! I will definitely book with her again when I go out of town!”
“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!!”
“Korri was fantastic!!! Would absolutely contact her again if we needed someone to take care of our dog. We had a wedding out of town and Korri sent so many updates which was amazing to feel like our gal was being taken care of well. Would absolutely 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 💙💜💙”
“We have found a new forever sitter. Luna just loved being with Chelsea and her family. She sent updates throughout the day. I will definitely recommend Chelsea to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
“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!”
“Thank you, Shanna, for taking such good care of our pups! We appreciate your easy-going manner and our dogs appreciated the cuddles and care. The toys were a huge hit and a very thoughtful surprise. You were so accommodating and made our trip worry-free. You rock!”

“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!”
“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.”
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.
“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!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs on my own since middle school. We've always had a family dog in the household as well as friends and neighbors who would need help with their little ones. I have a BS in Animal Science, have worked as an emergency vet assistant/triage tech for the last 3 years, and have some professional dog training experience. I currently have 2 guinea pigs, and a 2-year-old AND 1-year-old pitty/lab mix that love to come to work with me and go on all sorts of outdoor adventures! Needless to say, my life revolves around animals and I don't know what the world would be like without them! I would love to get to know your little one and be there for them (and you!) when needed! Good communication and planning helps me arrange my schedule and make myself available for your needs. I often have days off during the week so I can spend time with our furry friends while their families are at work. Having worked in an emergency pet hospital keeps me on my toes and I always put safety first. When it comes to walking outside, I double check collar/harness every time to ensure a secure yet comfortable fit that can't be slipped out of. I also know dog body language and signs of illness to monitor and keep people and pets safe!
About: Having grown up surrounded by dogs, pet care comes naturally to me. My experience dog sitting for family and friends has shown me that each furry friend deserves personalized attention and care. Animals have always been drawn to my calm, nurturing energy - just as I'm drawn to them! Whether your pup needs extra playtime, quiet cuddles, or walks, they'll receive the same loving care they get at home. Your fur-babies will be in experienced, caring hands! As a school district staff member (September-June) who is enrolled in college online, I have a flexible schedule and am home majority of the time. Summers are completely open! This means plenty of one-on-one time with your pup, consistent walks, and lots of attention. Whether you need regular bookings or last-minute care, I'm here to help! Your pup's safety is my priority! While I don't have a fenced yard, I provide supervised leashed potty breaks and plenty of exercise options. We enjoy walks on the Fox River State Trail or fun trips to the dog park. Your furry friend will have two friendly pups to socialize with, and can either cuddle on the bed or rest in their crate - whatever matches their home routine!
“Brittany did a fantastic job with my crew of 4 dogs!! They loved her. She gave updates after each visit and was very quick on her response. I will absolutely reach out to her again to care for my fur babies. Thank you Brittany!!!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities throughout my life, from puppy stages to senior care. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, administering medications, and giving pets the attention and patience they need to feel safe and happy. With my background as a CNA and caregiver, I naturally bring a calm, attentive, and detail-oriented approach to pet care. I understand how important it is to follow routines closely and make sure every pet is cared for as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or extra care, I’m here to provide a reliable and loving experience you can feel confident in. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available for last-minute bookings, drop-ins, and walks throughout the day. I’m currently looking to spend my time doing something meaningful while earning extra income, and caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I treat every pet with the same level of care, attention, and love that I give my own. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while following any routines or instructions you provide.
About: I have taken care of many different types of animals in animal shelter settings and have worked at Blue Pearl Emergency Vet. This included potty breaks, play-time and giving them food and their medications when needed. I have taken care of diabetic animals and animals with injuries, etc. I have also had many different types of animals since the day I was born. I have a flexible schedule and am willing to work around different work schedules or vacation times, etc. I am interested in helping whenever needed. I will follow different directions as given or told depending on the animals needs and what is best for the family and animal. It will vary depending on what is needed.
About: I've taken care of cats since I was a little girl, a long time ago. We had kittens, tom cats, and even a very large cat named Casey. I loved them all. My daughter's cat sleeps with me when I am there. My son's cats will lie on my computer. My family and clients' cats love to be brushed, pet, and given treats. Litter boxes are kept clean, and water dishes are cleaned daily. I would love to come sit with your cat. Most important is that they stay in their home environment without any disruption. No cat-itude. I'm looking forward to connecting.
“Christina has been blessing for me and my cats! - She is very sweet, gentle, caring and truly takes care of your cats as her own. Although I missed my babies when I went on vacation, I knew they were well taken care of and that gave me the peace of mind I needed to relax during my trip. She updates you regularly and is very good at following instructions. She even brought some toys for my kitties! Upon my return, I came back home to happy cats and a clean home! I highly recommend Christina and would hire her again!!”
About: Hi, you can call me Lolo. I am a big lover of dogs and had a small dog growing up. I have been walking dogs since the summer of 2021. I have experience with walking medium sized and smaller dogs, but I am open to any size and type of breeds. I even have experience watching cats and had birds growing up as a child. I am currently a stay at home mom which gives me more flexibility and choosing to do what I love the most, which is spending time with and taking of dogs! I am very responsible, attentive, and outgoing which are all some qualities I think are very important when it comes to taking care of dogs. I am looking forward to meeting you and your sweet dog(s)! I am a stay at home mom and have a lot of downtime to spend some time with your dogs. Pet care is a job for me and my schedule is very flexible! I have crate training experience. My neighborhood is very safe and I live in a house with a lot of trees and woods so the dogs can run around. There are not too many dogs around, so you won’t have to worry about other dogs!
“Mya was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and she went above and beyond any expectations! She cared for my animals so well and kept me updated which I greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend.”
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, cows, goats etc. so I have always been around and taking care of animals. I regularly take care of friends and families dogs/cats and am very patient. I used to work in nursing and most recently as a chemist, but am looking for supplemental animal love and interactions! I have availability and flexibility as needed Sunday through the week. I can do mornings, evenings or afternoons. I can accommodate most changes as this is my primary work. I have a closed in backyard and basement. I have two cats that can be separated or blocked off to separate areas of the house.
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and have a lot of hands on experience with different personalities and needs! I have a German Shepherd and a Boxer, so I’m very used to larger dogs, higher energy, and the kind of attention some dogs need to feel settled and happy. I’m very comfortable with dogs that are more anxious or take a little time to warm up, as well as seniors or pets that need medication or a more specific routine. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and figuring out what makes them feel their best—it’s one of my favorite parts of doing this! My work from home schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy for me to work around what your pet needs. 🙂 I’m available mornings, mid-day, evenings, and overnights, including weekends. Pet care is already part of my daily routine, so I’m not rushing through visits. I make sure your pet gets real time, attention, and care! I keep things safe, simple, and easy for pets to settle into. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can get outside time, and I always supervise while they’re out. Inside, things stay clean and calm, and I can give pets their own space if they need a break or some quiet time. I’m also certified in Pet First Aid & CPR, so I’m prepared if anything unexpected comes up—but most of all, I focus on making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for the entire time!

“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!”
About: I love taking care of dogs. I will walk your dog in the Spring, Summer and Fall in good weather. Your dog will have my 3 year old Maltese to play with. I’m CPR trained and if needed, with calling you first, take your dog to my home town ER hospital (hope we never need to use that). Your dog must be potty trained for outside. My grandchildren all love dogs, they visit sometimes. I have been with dogs all my life. So rest assured I’ll take care of your dog while I take care of mine and my grandchildren. I will have play time and potty breaks. Will try to teach your dog new tricks. I’ve taken training classes with Pet Smart. You won’t regret placing your pet with me.

I enjoy keeping your dog in good shape with a little exercise and a calm relaxing home to come back to
“This was a last minute need so it was great he could watch Cody with very short notice. Cody is an older dog and does not take change well, so it was fantastic he was excited to return the next day which means Cody really enjoyed his stay. Great care and communication! Cody was all smiles!”
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
“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!”
About: Since childhood, I have been responsible for the care of various animals, including dogs, cats, and small animals of diverse species. Among these, dogs hold a special place in my heart as my favorite animal. As a full-time stay-at-home mother, I am constantly at home with my children and dogs. During the summer months, we thoroughly enjoy spending time outdoors. I have a spacious backyard that is not fenced in, but I have a long tie-out if needed for your furry friends. Your pets will be well cared for.
About: I have part-time pup named Teddie, who you can see in my photos. I cared for my parents' elderly dog for two months, and I occasional provide daily care for another friend's dog. I'm looking forward to making more pet connections, and I hope to meet your animal companions very soon! I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have significant flexibility in my schedule. I will work with you to make sure all your pet's needs are met! I am happy to care for your pets at your home, or mine. We are best set up to care for dogs at our home, with easy access to our backyard and a longer, outdoor leash (no fence). My eleven-year-old enjoys animals as well, and he often scooters with me during doggie walks. I have experience with elderly dogs and anxious dogs.
“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!”
“Bonnie was amazing with our dog Cinnamon! We were in town for my daughter’s dance competition when a blizzard completely changed our plans. Bonnie was incredibly understanding and accommodating when we unexpectedly had to stay an extra night because travel was so dangerous. She even offered to help with anything Cinnamon might need since we hadn’t planned on being away another day. Cinnamon had a wonderful time playing with Bonnie’s fur babies and came home happy and completely exhausted from all the fun. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pup like their own, Bonnie is fantastic. Highly recommend!”

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!
“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!”
About: I've grown up with dogs and once I lived on my own, soon adopted 3 cats. I've had several dogs and cats throughout my life, loving them as my children. Every animal I meet melts my heart in their own special way and I fall in love every time. I would be honored to care for your fur [or scale!] baby/ies! I currently work part time at petco in the mornings mostly. I do have my own animals as well, but find myself also always wishing I had more. I have plenty of time and heart to give! I will feed your animal the directed amount in the directed time. I will play with your cat/dog several times throughout the day. For dogs, potty breaks every 2 hours minimum. And as many cuddles and hugs as they want!
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!
“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: 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’ve been volunteering at animals shelters for 10+ years and have experience with sensitive pets or unique regimens. I’ve also volunteered at the National Aquarium in an animal husbandry role, so I’m a quick learner if you have pets such as reptiles that need unique care. I grew up with cats, dogs, guinea pigs, mice, snakes, hamsters, chinchillas, and a frog named Fred. I probably enjoy the walks more than the pups and I’ve never met a cat I didn’t like! My name is Melissa and I’m the proud human to three cats - Rosie, Griffon, & Minerva. I became the human to my first cat when I was 6 months old and maintained a wonderful bond with my Princess until she died at the old age of 21. I will treat any companion like they are my own and continue to love them in your absence. I’m always looking for a companion to go on adventures with, if your dog is up for the challenge. But if your cat prefers to nap together - or even ignore me entirely, I can do that, too!

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.
About: I've had a dog or cat for my entire life and I love dogs. And I am pretty good with cats. (Like them but they just dont cuddle the way dogs do). Im currently doing mainly self employment. So I can walk ur doggos or come play with your cats a lot of the time. And might even bring one of my little ones (kids not pets) around to meet a pet i interact with often Coming into your home I'll make sure to meet and greet your pet (if they want) and make sure their needs are met and they are happi boys (and girls)
About: Let me know if your dog has any special needs, medications, or behaviors that I can account for or help with. I would love to help. If you have plants that need watering, mail, or packages that need to be brought in, I can help with that too! I'm retired and love traveling around Wisconsin and the world. Slow traveling is my favorite. I can explore new neighborhoods, cities, and local attractions without being rushed. I will follow your directions for your house and loved ones. Let me know the extra duties like watering, mail, or garbage routine. The house is left cleaner than I found it.
About: I am very proud to be a "fear free handler". That's a big thing for me, if an animal is uncomfortable, I am 100% uncomfortable along with them.. learning their little quirks and finding ways to do things in the best way possible for that specific animal is what I do and I absolutely love doing it. I promise your animal will be cared for deeply while in my care. My passion has always been working with animals, providing them with the care and respect they deserve and I have extensive experience in the field. I’ve worked in horse barns, animal shelters, and dog boarding facilities, and I’m skilled in administering all types of medications, including insulin. Whether it’s feral cats or reactive dogs, I have the patience and expertise to help them adjust and thrive, including building trust with new people. I understand how intimidating change can be for animals, and I’m dedicated to making those transitions as smooth as possible. I’ve dedicated countless unpaid hours to caring for animals, driven solely by my love and commitment to their well-being. When you entrust me with your pet, I promise to care for them as if they were my own, providing compassion, patience, and unwavering dedication in every situation. I am pretty open with my schedule. I will love your babies like my own. I do work mon-thurs 3-9pm and Saturday 11-4. I am a perfectionist. If you tell me you want something done in a specific way or at a certain time, please let me know!! I'd be more than happy to jump through hoops to give your baby(s) what they need when and how they need it. I will put your animal above everything else, that's what I'm paid for and that's what I love doing.
About: I’ve had my own pets since I was little. I’ve had hamsters, goldfish, frogs, bunnies, hamsters and a dog. I also have a few years experience with taking care of my grandmas cats. I have my own online business so I am very flexible with my schedule! & I can work around your pets schedule and needs 😊 Again I will be able to adjust my work schedule to your pets schedule. I am a very organized person so I will keep everything clean and tidy.

“Anu and her family treated Duncan as their own! She kept us up to date on how Duncan was doing by sending us wonderful pictures and videos. Lots of love and fun! Duncan had a great time and we didn't worry a bit about our pup! Thank you Anu and family, we will certainly use your services again with Duncan.”
“Bobbi was a fabulous sitter to my dog Duke. She’s caring, responsive and connected with us often while watching Duke. Her yard is a playground for all pups. Truly grateful to have found her! One of my best experiences with Rover!”
“Amazing person! She knew how it was my first time getting a puppy sitter and I was worried and not let alone nervous but Emily was 100% able to re-ensure me that My baby girl would do Amazing! Love Emily and her family already for doing such amazing job with my baby girl and prove to me that everything WILL be okay!! She even sent me pictures and videos, I had tons of happy tears even though I missed my baby girl!!”
“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.”
“Emily and her dog Curry are both super sweet! Emily stayed in contact with us to calm our anxiety over our Zoe’s first stay with her. We were super impressed that Curry was so kind and gentle with little Zoe as well. Look forward to our next visit!”
“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!”
“Erika is an angel! First of all she agreed to care for our puppy 2 days after being spayed. Then our puppy did not do well and became ill with diarrhea and vomiting. She kept in close contact with us and continued to care for her. She had to make special food for our pup because of her diarrhea. Erika is just the sweetest person you will meet and she even washed all of the items in her kennel. We can not say enough positive things about her - if you need an angel to take care of your dog baby consider Erika!”
“Korri was fantastic!!! Would absolutely contact her again if we needed someone to take care of our dog. We had a wedding out of town and Korri sent so many updates which was amazing to feel like our gal was being taken care of well. Would absolutely 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 💙💜💙”
“We have found a new forever sitter. Luna just loved being with Chelsea and her family. She sent updates throughout the day. I will definitely recommend Chelsea to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
“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!”
“Thank you, Shanna, for taking such good care of our pups! We appreciate your easy-going manner and our dogs appreciated the cuddles and care. The toys were a huge hit and a very thoughtful surprise. You were so accommodating and made our trip worry-free. You rock!”
About: Growing up I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember. I have 5 dogs, a cat, bunny, & a few reptiles. I’m a stay at home mom and have vet tech experience. If you need extra care I am more then happy to do what I can to assist your pets needs and have a flexible schedule. If I am caring for them in my home, I have a fenced in back yard for your pup to roam around and get their zoomies out 🐾💜
“Rebecca was incredibly flexible and accommodating. Weather caused chaos in our return plans and she waited up until 12:30am for us to pick up our dogs. Last time we traveled we kenneled our dogs and they came back stressed which lasted a week. This time they obviously had played hard as they were tired the first morning, but were right back themselves!”
“Jeffrey took wonderful care of our 4 year old boxer Maggie. We got her back happy and relaxed! I loved receiving his daily update about how Maggie was doing while we were away.”
“Kathy did a great job. She came through for me at a moments notice when my boarder had a cancellation. Her dogs did well with my boy. He came home happy and tired which is a good thing.”
“Denise and her whole family are fantastic!! Our dog Miley loved her stay. I highly recommend Denise to anyone who is looking for a kind and compassionate dog sitter!!”
“Sarah was an excellent cat sitter! She responded to my last minute request very quickly and kept in contact throughout the stay. She was also flexible with our drop off and pick up changes. I think our kitten had such a good time that she did not want to leave. Would highly recommend Sarah and will use her pet sitting service again.”
“Ram and Anu were fantastic! They sent videos, photos and even brought Nikky to visit me at the hospital for a couple hours. They treated Nikky like their own... plenty of love and interaction and fun. I will definitely book them again. I recommend them to anyone who truly loves their pet. I loved the photos of their daughter reading to Nikky and played with him. Their Chocolate Lab was a great buddy for Nikky. They played very well together.”
