“Was relieved to be able to leave our precious pup with Joi for the night. She is both competent and compassionate. He can be a handful with separation anxiety. She gave Buddy quality time and sent photos which made it easy not to worry about him. She was also extra helpful working with our schedule. We'd love to have her care for him again if she can tolerate our Big Baby. : )”

“Cheri was great!! She gave Dax time to get used to her house before introducing him to her precious dog. She sent pics and updated me when I picked Dax up. I was running late and she was very gracious about that.”

Jodi V.

“I was very impressed with Jason's punctuality and follow updates on my Bella. I was sent pictures to show me how she was doing. Bella seemed to be a very happy camper. I would recommend Jason to anyone for a future doggie date.”

Janey F.

“Lauren is so nice! I can’t even explain how much it meant when she sent pics to me of my Sassy while I was at work. At the time, Sassy was a brand new rescue to me, so being in a strange environment worried me. Lauren has a calming demeanor and Sassy was totally at peace while in her care. I would highly suggest Lauren anytime!!!”

“Kirsten is awesome! Abby is always happy to go with her and happy when she comes home. Kirsten is always very easy to work with on drop off and pickup times.”

About: I’ve had pets since I was 5 years old from dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, turkeys, you name it. Lots of my family members, friends, and even coworkers of mine have entrusted their homes and pets to me to take care of. I even do long stays if needed. I’ve done a whole month of house/dog sitting before. I am very neat, clean, friendly, caring, and punctual. My work ethic is outstanding and I take pride in knowing I can take excellent care of your home and beloved furry family members. I do work full time from 7:00 am until 3:30 pm, but I am available majority of the evening time and weekends. Most people book me for a week or long weekend, so either is fine! You can trust in me to take care of your fur babies while I am staying in your house because I put my full attention on them. Having so much flexibility in the evening time and weekends, I can make sure they will get all the attention they need. I also love having written notes and specific details on how to take care of them. It makes it so much easier!

About: I don’t work during the week so I’m able to provide a lot more care and companionship to the animals that I care for. I also have been an animal lover since childhood. Ive been gifted with a job that only requires me to work weekends so I am very flexible. I can pretty much work with any schedule given prior notice. I have a large deck and fenced in yard for your animal to play with. It’s very quiet country living so no loud noise or busy traffic.

“Kristen did an excellent job doing daily home visits with my cat! She was great at communicating any needs/how she was doing and always made sure to get a photo of her! So happy I was able to use her during my last trip and would 100% rebook for the next time!”

About: My first cat was named Toasty. I volunteer with the local cat rescue Second Chances and foster many cats that I end up keeping #fosterfailure

“Lucy was tuckered out at the end of the day! Full day of running around and socializing with other dogs. She is one happy pup!”

Samantha S.

“I highly recommend Lauren as a pet sitter. She went above and beyond in her care for our 1 year old border collie. It turns out, Bertie was fearful that his parents were not coming back. Lauren addressed these fears in soothing and gentle ways. She sent frequent updates and photos and we always knew he was receiving the best care. Thank you, Lauren!”

This waiting period allows each dog to decompress, adjust to the new environment, and display their natural behavior before meeting others. If a dog shows signs of stress or discomfort, introductions may be delayed or adjusted for safety. 🐾About me: I was raised on a farm containing large and small animals so I was taught the importance of all living things, but the passion for them bloomed on its own. During my time as a veterinary technician, I gained valuable hands-on experience, including learning how to properly administer medications and mastering essential techniques. My experience at a professional boarding facility further reinforced my passion for providing personalized, attentive care through home-based pet services. I recently worked as a groomer's apprentice, but I’m currently studying to become a certified dog obedience trainer, which will expand my ability to support your furry family members. I’ve loved every moment of my past four years on Rover, from meeting incredible families to caring for pets of all types and personalities. 🐾As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m here to help whenever you need a trusted sitter! To ensure a balanced schedule for both my family and the pets in my care, my phone is silenced between 10 PM and 8 AM. During this time, I may not respond immediately, but I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding! 🐾About my home: Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! If your fur-baby is a social butterfly, they’ll love visiting me. My home often welcomes friends and family, some bring their dogs for playdates, too! For less social pets, I will ensure a calm and comfortable environment tailored to their needs. While my new home doesn’t have a fenced yard, I’ve adjusted by providing supervised outdoor time with 15-foot leads in my spacious backyard. I also prioritize mealtime safety and feed pets in separate spaces to ensure a stress-free experience. If a crate is needed, I have one available so you don't have to transport yours!

About: We got our dog two years ago. He is cute and full of energy. We try to go walk trails when we can. We try to take him out as much as we can. I’m a stay home mom, i have a 2kids going to school ,so i have plenty of time in my hands. I like to walk. I have a small dog. I live in apartments so i really don’t have much space, but as a family we like to walk trails and take our dog with us.
