Personalized care for your dog or cat - Oakvale

“Bethany has sure helped my dog socialization skills with her careful introductions to her dogs and other guest dogs. My dog has become socialized and being around other dogs is now normal!”

“Walt kept our boy, Teddi, for four days. Teddi is a 3 yo intact English Shepherd who has never spent a night away from us. Teddi is a very well behaved and friendly boy but we were a bit anxious how this would go. Walt kept us well informed on how Teddi was doing. Walt gave Teddi great care and a lot of attention. When we returned to pick up Teddi, it was obvious that he and Teddy had bonded very well. We are very pleased with the care that Walt provided and will certainly use him again.”

“Jaime was awesome. She took great care of Bo. This was our first time boarding him and we wanted he to feel like he was at home. Jaime did an awesome job making Bo and I feel comfortable. I wish we lived close by as Bo would have new friends and a great place to stay when we go somewhere that we can’t bring him. Thank you, Jaime”

About: I’ve taken care of cats & kittens and dogs with their puppies for family, friends and workmates. They’ve snuggled on my lap and slept in my bed and their comfort and routine are my priority. I’m currently working from home so I would be with your pet continuously. Boarding could be any day of the week including weekends….and holidays too. I have a fenced yard and large porch where your pet will be comfortable…although your pet would never be outside alone. I start my day when they do and I’m near a state park where walks are wonderful.

About: I’ve taken care of 3 rescue dogs and a rescue cat. I love learning new dogs and cats and to see what kind of personality each one has. I’ve cared for animals for 7 years. I’m always on time and very dependable. I am currently a stay at home wife so I have plenty of time to play and interact with your pups. Whatever you need I’m available to assist you. I have a fenced in large kennel area where pups can run and play. For those that are trained to run and play and come back to my commands these dogs will have 6 acres to run and play. There’s plenty of space for your pups to run and play. I am available to take care of your pets as a house sitter or to do drop in visits multiple times a day. Whatever your needs may be I assure you I’ll be able to accommodate you.

“Kennedy was extremely kind. Our dog Remi can be nervous and she quickly came around to Kennedy. Kennedy provided daily updates and was quick to respond. She was very flexible of our travel times and understanding. We look forward to having Kennedy watch Remi again”

“Taylor was a great sitter! She was flexible and super sweet to our baby. While we were gone, she sent pictures and gave us updates to relieve our stress.”

About: I would take care of little to big puppies of all ages. My favorite was a 7 year Great Dane I would house sit for. I have always grown up with animals and would also pet sit when my parents were out of town. My schedule is super flexible, since I am a college student! I can work with the owner and make sure the dog and cats get the attention they need:) I walk, feed, play and bath pets have worked with and have in my own house. I go for long walks and feed pets based on the owners preference.

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

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 six 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!

“Sidney was great with the animals. We would 100% user her services again.”

“Overall, they are AMAZING dog sitters and do a great job! I was given tons of pictures of my Auggie having a great weekend and I was very nervous to leave him for the first time. They did a great job instilling good habits in my puppy while having him enjoy his weekend with completely new people. I’m extremely satisfied and will be using them again!!”

Matthew P.

“Emily was amazing with my dog, Butters! She had so much fun that she didn’t even want to come home! Emily sent pictures and updates throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. It was clear that Butters was in great hands the entire time. Emily is such a caring and attentive sitter, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pup!”

About: “WE CAN JUDGE THE HEART OF A MAN BY HIS LOVE FOR ANIMALS ❤️.” I love pet sitting and treat your animals with love and kindness. I work part time as a contract nurse for local life insurance exams. My schedule is very open and flexible for pet sitting. Holidays and weekends book fast. I offer visits to your home for personalization and comfort. I look forward to an introductory visit to meet your pet and become familiar with their routine.

About: I am a stay at home Mom and would love to help other pet owners be at ease knowing their pets are being taken care of while you’re at work or out of town. Being at home allows me to be very flexible with the care you need. My family has both a dog and cat at home, so I’m familiar with the care needed for both. I’ve also cared for an elder dog before needing insulin administered. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is very flexible to work with your needs! I’m happy to work with you! I have a large un-fenced yard surrounded by woods; supervised time outside only and on a leash unless you and I both are confident in obedience to come when called. I have a small dog at home who prefers a cuddle buddy over a play mate, but she is friendly with most dogs and loves cats! In the event I leave home I prefer crating until I get to know your pup.

About: I’ve cared for a variety of dogs with different needs. I’ve always enjoyed working, caring, and playing with dogs of all sizes. I love to make sure they have a great time with me! I have a lab mix who loves making friends. Fur baby’s will get lots of love from me and my pup. Anything from cuddles to running around outside. I am currently only doing walks and drop in visits, house sitting/pet sitting may be discussed with longer term clients. I have very open time ranges and day availability. I have years of experience with various breeds and demeanors. I love spending time with animals and providing them with a fun time. My dog also love making new friends!

“Clare was great and did the most important things- loved on our pup and sent lots of updates. Will definitely book again!”
