Personalized care for your dog or cat - Despard

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Despard
“We scheduled with Michaela after our usual dog sitter had to cancel last minute. Michaela was super nice, flexible, and easy to work with! She sent pictures and videos multiple times a day of my dog and kept me updated on how he was doing during his stay. He had long walks and play time with other pups and came home happy as can be. She will definitely be our new go-to and first choice when needing to board our sweet boy. 10,000% recommend!”

About: I have less experience with dogs. Only ones I’ve had as pets. I would be great for walks. I am reliable and timely with requests. I have a full time job, but looking for evening walks or weekend care. I am familiar with medications, shots, and feeding tubes. I enjoy walking and would gladly take your dog to the park for a stroll. At home, we have few rules for my cats. We have pet friendly furniture and toys. Dogs that get along with cats would be fine!

“Rachel was amazing! Our dogs loved her. She sent pictures and videos to us while we were away and she gave our dogs extra love. She had little report cards for each day for each dog and a little polaroid picture of each dog. We feel so blessed that we found her. We will definitely be using her again. It was an excellent experience.”


“Pamela was amazing and such a big help for the two days I was out of town. My cat Max was well cared for by Pamela. She played with him, fed him, and sent pictures to update me. Highly recommend Pamela for animal care.”


About: I’ve always loved cats and have experience caring for them through having a family cat for the past six years. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every cat has their own personality and needs, so I’m happy to follow their routine and give them space when they need it while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Despard

“Tiffany did a wonderful job taking care of my fur babies while my husband and I spent a day out of town. We have a very young puppy that isn't able to go to daycare until he receives all of his vaccinations. Tiffany was very flexible and went above and beyond to accommodate us. She provided drop-in services to our home several times throughout the day. She sent messages and picture updates to update us.”

“Tracey provided great day care for my dog Bandit while I was visiting the area from out of state. She graciously accomodated my schedule. She treated him as if he was her own pet. She took plenty of pictures to document how his needs were met.”

About: I have had experience with all kinds of animals since I was very young. While dogs and cats are the most common, I also have experience with a variety of exotic pets. We currently have two rabbits, a hedgehog, chickens, fish, and a dog. You can put your mind at ease, knowing your furry friends will be in great hands! I am currently a stay at home mom, with plenty of time just waiting to be filled with caring for your furry family members! Cats, dogs, others, I am open and experienced with them all! I am more than happy to come over to your house and follow whatever instructions are left for me. I will always treat your furry family like I would treat my own.
About: I have experience with reactive and aggressive dogs, along with senior pets. I have owned and carried for multiple dog, cats, and exotic animals. I have trained 2 service dogs and a therapy dog as well as scent work foundations. Animals are my biggest passion, my goal is to help and love your animals as my own in order to help you achieve all goals you may have in mind. even if its as simple as a good walk. I spend my time taking care of my own dogs, walking, training and grooming. I still have time in the day to help others and this is my best idea to achieve that. I have 2 friendly dogs, Tyson who is around 8 he is extremely neutral and coda was is a bit older then a year old who has tones of energy for play. I have harness and long lines to make sure your dog has the ability to run and play safely even though I don't have a fenced in yard. My dogs will only interact with yours if you ask for it, as I know some dog just prefer to be on their own. I have toys of all sizes and types. All dog will be leashed before any door is opened to ensure no dog will be getting loose. I know how to administer medications if needed along with how to give the dog the Heimlich. Your pets safety is my number one priority.

About: I’ve cared for many different kinds of animals since I was young, from dogs and cats to reptiles, birds, and rodents. I have experience understanding and providing for the unique needs of different animals, including feeding routines, handling, enrichment, and daily care. I also have a lizard of my own at home, which has given me hands-on experience with reptile care. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals. I treat every pet like my own and want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. As a college student, I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I am not currently working another job, but I am looking for potential job opportunities, so my schedule is flexible and I can plan around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for regular visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule when needed. I’m dependable and will make sure your pets receive the care, attention, and love they need while you’re away I have a new house that doesn’t allow furry animals, but I do have a bearded dragon that I care for at home. Because I’m unable to have furry pets in my own home, I’m happy to care for them in their own environment where they feel most comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I would treat them like my own, follow their normal routines and care instructions, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and companionship. I would also be respectful of your home and make sure everything is left just as I found it.

“Lexi took great care of my 8 month old Great Dane! We were going to Florida for a week, & didn’t want to put her in a kennel so took a chance with rover. She allowed us to come and meet her first, see where Piper will be staying & make sure she would be safe. Lexi sent pictures and videos & always responded quickly to my texts. I was worried at first because Piper is a handful, to say the least lol If she can handle a week with my GIANT “hyper Piper” ….she can honestly handle anything!!!! Thank you so much for taking great care of her, I will most definitely contact you again when we need another vacation ❤️”


“If you’ve never had the pleasure of seeing your dog uncontrollably excited when he sees his dog sitter through the car window and running to her at top speed and kissing her whole face, then running to see his friend Copper(her pup) and never looking back..you need to book with Shannon. She updates with pics, you never have to ask how your pup is doing. My dog is 9 years old and gets great exercise the whole visit due to the fenced in yard. We love her!”
