“AMAZING!! Mike watched our sensitive, kind of awkward and very large dog for 10 days and I could not say enough good things. Our dog was on the bed and sofa, under the covers and looked really happy. He is expensive but worth every dollar for the piece of mind knowing our dog was happy and safe going in long walks twice a day! I will be using him again.”
“Randy was so great! She was able to take care of Maggie with a little bit shorter notice, and went out of her way to make sure she had space to be outside even beyond her normal walks and playtime. I hope Randy is available next time I'm out of town!”
“Amazing family. So responsive and absolute lover of Abram the moment they met. The children are gentle and engaging. They have my furbaby tons of love and walks. I WILL be using Meg again and cannot recommend her more highly.”
“I am so happy with our experience with Gabriela. We were in town for a few days and wanted to hike some trails where dogs aren’t allowed. We boarded our dog Libby with Gabriela for a few days and it seemed to go great! Libby loved Gabriela and her dog. Our Libby is very energetic and requires oral medications — Gabriela seemed great with this. She also was an excellent communicator both leading up to and during the booking. I highly recommend Gabriella — I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Dana was amazing! She was able to watch my dog Otis for an overnight, last minute. She was incredibly kind and treated Otis like one of her own! I highly recommend and will be using her again!”
“Joe was fantastic! He took great care of my golden retriever, Tucker, and was able to accept my request on short notice. He was perfectly communicative and sent several updates, which I really appreciated. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting since the age of 12 along with working at a doggy daycare for 3.5 years and a veterinary research facility for a year. I have a passion for animals and pets. With a degree in Wildlife Science, I also have other animal handling skills including snakes, turtles, and birds! I am currently working a day job, and my schedule changes day by day but I am more than happy to coordinate a proper time to take care of your pets! I am able to walk, feed, water, play with and administer medication to your dog. I value enrichment and quality time with each animal. I also have experience dealing with aggressive and skittish behavior in animals.
“Liza and Zizi are the absolute best. We had a Rover booked who completely fell through with no communication. These two answered within a half hour, and we had our sweet Okie dropped off. Okie has the best time, they took him for walks, bike ride, swim in the creek behind their house. We received multiple pictures and communication throughout the day. It was our anniversary and sweet Zizi even made us cookies. When back in town will 100% be using this family again, they are the best.”
“Tracey was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated throughout the weekend with multiple messages, which I really appreciated. I could tell Winston had a great time—he was completely worn out and slept the entire day after I picked him up! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
About: I love dogs ! I wish I could have a dog in my own, but because I’m traveling a lot would be to selfish to have a dog , they deserve a lot of attention and time ! I found a solution by finding this job ! I’m working part time at the airport and also as a massage therapist, walking and playing with dogs makes me excited! 🐶🐱💚I can take care of them while you can’t ! Safety first! Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed to keep your dog safe and happy! You know better what’s good for your dog and I’m excited to learn that !
“Absolutely! Here’s a short raving review as the dog owner, reviewing the sitter: I couldn’t be happier with the care Kiwi received - she came home happy, calm, and clearly well-loved! Elizabeth sent us cute photos of the dogs and gave Kiwi a great hike. I’ll definitely be booking again when I need to and highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!”
“Carlyann was able to watch my kitten on a short notice appointment and I couldnt be ever more thankful! Her space is very clean, well kept, and safe for any pet. I would call her in a heartbeat again at any point in the future for her services.”
About: What Sets Me Apart For me, dog sitting isn’t just a job—dogs are my absolute best friends, my ultimate road trip companions, and my favorite hiking buddies. I know firsthand that your pup isn’t just a pet; they are a member of your family, and I treat them exactly like my own. What truly sets me apart is that I have successfully navigated almost every stage of a dog’s life, from the boundless energy of puppyhood to the tender, specialized care required in a dog's golden years. Because I also have a professional background in long-term, high-trust childcare, providing a reliable, safe, and highly communicative environment is second nature to me. My Services & Activities Whether your dog thrives on a quiet routine or loves to be on the go, I adapt to their personality. I offer dedicated dog walking, drop-in visits, and personalized house sitting. My style of pet care includes: Outdoor Adventures: Perfect for high-energy dogs who love hiking, exploring trails, and getting plenty of intense physical stimulation and fresh mountain air. Social & City Manners: I love taking well-behaved pups along for coffee shop runs or car rides, ensuring they get mental enrichment, positive reinforcement, and healthy socialization. Homebody Comfort: For seniors or anxious pups, I am entirely content slowing things down, keeping them cozy, and giving them all the belly rubs and focused companionship they deserve. Every walk or visit includes fresh water top-offs, standard feeding or medication administration if needed, and a detailed update with plenty of photos so you have total peace of mind. Schedule & Availability I work on a flexible, part-time schedule, which means I am not tied to a rigid 9-to-5 office job or a daily commute. This flexibility gives me dedicated, open blocks of time throughout the week to fully commit to your pet. When I am booked for a service, your dog gets my absolute, undivided attention, ensuring their daily routines remain consistent and uninterrupted. Deep Senior Care Experience I spent over 15 wonderful years caring for my previous dog, supporting him through every single life stage from the day he was adopted to his senior years. I understand the patience, gentle touch, and intuition it takes to care for aging pets, whether that means managing strict medication schedules, monitoring mobility, or just providing a calm, comforting presence. Puppyhood & Training Know-How Currently, I am raising my 10.5-month-old English Labrador, Eggs Benedict. If you have a younger pup, you can rest assured I am well-versed in the daily consistency required for puppyhood. I am actively involved in training, reinforcing good manners, and maintaining crucial routines so your pup stays on track while you're away. When your dog is with me, they don't just get a sitter—they get a dedicated companion who understands their needs, respects their routines, and loves them like family. Pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it is my daily lifestyle. I currently raise a 10.5-month-old puppy, so my home naturally runs on a structured schedule of crate training, active outdoor exercise, regular potty breaks, and daily training reinforcement. Professionally, I work in childcare Monday through Thursday. My schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to easily step away to pop home, walk dogs, and keep precise feeding and medication schedules perfectly on track. On any given week, a guest dog seamlessly integrates into an active, enriched routine. This includes neighborhood walks, social playdates with trusted neighborhood dogs, and plenty of outdoor time. Because I am already deeply committed to maintaining my own puppy's routine, keeping to your dog’s specific daily schedule—whether they need high-energy hikes or structured crate and rest time—comes naturally to me. Safety First, Always With over six years of professional experience in childcare, safety and situational awareness are second nature to me. I bring that same high level of vigilance, patience, and risk management to pet care. Whether at my home or yours, I am expert at anticipating a dog's needs, managing environments to prevent accidents, and reading canine body language to ensure they always feel secure. In My Home: Structured, Active, and Secure When a dog stays with me, they enter a home tailored for a happy, balanced dog life. Because I am currently raising a 10.5-month-old English Lab, my environment is fully puppy-proofed, secure, and organized around a predictable routine. Compatibility & Socialization: I love hosting friendly guest dogs who enjoy a bit of playtime. We do structured doggy playdates with my close circle of trusted friends and their dogs, ensuring all social interactions are safe, positive, and supervised. Routine & Rest: I am a big believer in the balance of physical exercise and proper rest. My home is set up for successful crate training and designated quiet time, ensuring your dog gets the decompression they need after a fun day. In Your Home: Respectful and Attentive If I am caring for your pet in your home, my priority is maintaining their absolute comfort and peace of mind. Keeping to Their Schedule: I strictly adhere to your established house rules, feeding times, and crating routines so your dog experiences zero disruption while you are away. Home Security & Cleanliness: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. My flexible schedule allows me to make regular check-ins to ensure your pet is never left lonely or waiting for a potty break. No matter the setting, my goal is to build a foundation of trust with both you and your pup, ensuring they are safe, happy, and treated like family.
“Tessa was happy to see us when we picked her up. Seemed comfortable with her temporary home, people, and their dog. Hard to debrief a dog on what her past few days have been like, though. ? We'll definitely return next time we go out of town.”
“I can’t say enough about Logan. He took great care of our dog from walking her, engaging her , following instructions and then went above and beyond! We were very fortunate he was able to house/dog sit over the holidays. Logan was flexible and accommodating; we had some unexpected company and he helped mastermind everything on our behalf. You and your pet would be very lucky and fortunate to have Logan’s services. Thanks to rover but especially to Logan!”

“Ela is amazing! Took great care of my cat and helped ease my mind about getting her insulin shots while I was out of town! Love the pics every visit! Will definitely book her again! 😻”
“Heather is awesome! She came for a meet and greet before we booked which I appreciated. Heather is a great communicator. Ike was content when I returned home, and Heather sent photos while I was away. The house was immaculate. I highly recommend Heather. She is attentive, dependable, trustworthy and professional.”
“I have used Michele twice now for lengthy numbers of days. She is very reliable, and one of my cats loves her (the other cat hides under the bed--but that's not Michelle's fault). She takes care of my houseplants just as well as she cares for my cats. Everything looks great when we return home. I'm so glad to have found a cat-sitter that is so good.”
“Brooke was great! She watched our two cats for a weekend and was absolutely wonderful. She took great care of the boys, and they were clearly happy to have her. Absolutely would book again!”
“Joan has been a life saver. We are going through some hard times here and needed our 14 month old fur baby Serena walked daily while we were out of the area. She was flexible with what we needed and understanding. Responds quickly to messages. Knowing Serena was in good hands took a lot off my mind. ”
About: Oliver Eastman Since I was born, I've been surrounded by animals. I've cared for tons of dogs in my life time, including but not limited to labrador retrievers, bichon frise, bernese mountain dogs, golden doodles, and mutts. Pet care usually fits around my full-time job, schooling, and caring for my own dog. As a college student, I need a lot of study time, but I am always sure to involve good dogs in it. I give them lots of love and exercise. I make sure to keep their brains stimulated and their hearts happy and their stomachs full. I truly love dogs, and caring for them gives me joy.
“While experiencing a flight travel delay returning home from a trip and my current dog sitter being unavailable I appreciated the response time and willingness to help out my pup for a potty break and brief activity while I made my way home. Thank you!! I will definitely be a repeat customer”
About: I grew up in a house with three cats and three dogs, so caring for pets has truly been second nature to me. I got my very first cat when i was 3 years old and proudly helped care for her from the start, learning early on how to be gentle, patient and attentive. Sharing pet duties with my siblings taught me how to juggle different personalities, routines, energy levels - whether that means long walks, playtime, quiet snuggles, or giving shy pets their space. I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs of all temperaments and genuinely love getting to know what makes each pet feel safe and happy. Your pets will be cared for like family, with plenty of love, attention, and tail wags along the way!
About: I have always been the girl that takes care of all of the family pets. I have watched all kinds of different breeds of dogs. Family, friends, and strangers have depended on me to take care of their dogs as if they were my own. I have taken care of sick/hurt animal, I have also taken care of multiple dogs at a time. I work at the Jackson Hole Playhouse, I switch between morning and nights so really just depends on the week. I go for daily walks and I lift but that’s never been a problem. I am not allowed to have dogs in my home unfortunately but I can do whatever you need me to do. I will take care of your pets the way you want them being taken care of and more!
“Moriah was the best sitter I could’ve asked for! She sent adorable pictures and videos, kept me updated throughout, and was incredibly kind with such a lovely energy. I felt totally at ease knowing Poppy was in her care. I feel so fortunate she was available. She’s truly a gem!”
About: I am excited to take your dogs on walks, hikes, and any adventure they need! I can work with dogs of all ages and give them lots of love. My schedule is quite flexible. I’m currently in grad school online for education. On work days I am still available for walks every four hours. I wake up early to give immediate love and attention to pets. I’m a high energy girl so your pets will have several walks/runs per day. I will leave your home clean and tidy. I can follow schedules well, just let me know what your pets need!
“Abby was fantastic to work with and my senior cat was very comfortable with her. She took special care to know his routine and the house was spotless when I came home. Highly recommend!”
About: Welcome to Barron's Leash, Jackson Hole's private residence dog boarding and pet concierge service. Private Dog Boarding: $250/night Only one client family is accepted at a time. New to Rover? Save $20 with promo code: MIKEH40 Dogs have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them, have owned and trained German Shorthaired Pointers (GSPs), and have spent years developing advanced handling, recall, and obedience skills in real-world environments. Beyond boarding and pet care, I have trained hunting dogs, worked extensively with e-collar recall training, and successfully guided my own dog, Char, through AKC agility testing. This hands-on experience has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior, communication, drive, and temperament across a wide range of breeds and personalities. As founder of Barron's Leash and one of Jackson Hole's top-rated Rover sitters, I've hosted hundreds of successful boarding nights for local families, second-home owners, and visitors to Jackson Hole. Unlike traditional boarding facilities, I accept only one client family at a time and focus on individualized care in a secure private residence. Whether your dog prefers mountain adventures, long walks, wildlife watching from the window, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, every stay is tailored to their individual needs. My goal is simple: provide the kind of care I would expect for my own dog—safe, reliable, attentive, and stress-free. Pet care is a central and joyful part of my daily life here in Jackson Hole. Because I operate a flexible, home-based business, I spend the majority of my day with the dogs in my care. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, individualized attention, and consistent companionship throughout each stay. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I accept so that every guest receives the highest level of care, supervision, and comfort. Unlike many traditional boarding environments, dogs staying at Barron's Leash spend their time in a private residence where their daily routine, well-being, and happiness remain the priority. Whether your dog enjoys outdoor adventures, leisurely walks, wildlife watching from the window, or simply relaxing indoors, every stay is tailored to their individual personality and needs. Your dog's safety, comfort, and well-being are my highest priorities. Barron's Leash operates from a secure, dog-friendly private residence designed to provide a calm, structured, and low-stress environment. Large windows overlooking Jackson Hole's natural surroundings offer plenty of wildlife viewing opportunities—what many guests quickly come to enjoy as their own version of "dog TV." Outdoor time takes place in a securely managed environment and is always supervised. Depending on your dog's temperament, training, and your preferences, activities may include leashed walks, structured play, or carefully managed off-leash adventures. I maintain consistent routines and clear expectations that help dogs feel comfortable, confident, and secure. From mealtimes and potty breaks to exercise and relaxation, each stay is tailored to your dog's individual needs. Whether relaxing at home or exploring Jackson Hole's trails and open spaces, your companion receives attentive, professional care guided by safety, sound judgment, and respect for the trust you've placed in Barron's Leash.

“Joe was great - accepted our request on a very short notice and was flexible with the pick up/drop off locations to make it more convenient for us. He also gave us lots of tips on skiing in Jackson Hole and on the road trip. Joe took our pup on a long winter hike with his own dogs and returned him happy and tired. Highly recommend!”
“Meg (and her helpful and sweet children) were the best dog sitters I could have asked for. My husband and I were visiting Jackson and selfishly wanted to spend a day in Yellowstone. Based on Meg’s excellent reviews on Rover, I contacted Meg to see if she could watch our two sheepadoodles, Dug and Max. I must admit, I was a little nervous to leave my dogs for the day in a new place for my own reasons, but Meg responded immediately and put me at ease regarding the process. Having just picked up Dug and Max fr their stay with Meg, I can confidently say that she is the BEST dog sitter I’ve had on Rover. She responds within minutes (if not seconds) to messages… coordinating pick up and drop off was a breeze. She sent multiple updates and photos throughout the day… and she continued to do so even though she knew I wouldn't have service while in the park. She took the dogs out for multiple walks (and I will admit my dogs are not the easiest to walk). Her children gave Dug and Max a ton of loving and playtime. And Meg was so sweet… she even washed their paws before pickup (again not an easy feat with my dogs). I 100% recommend her for any dog sitting or boarding service in Jackson. Meg is reliable and truly cares for animals.”
“Absolutely fabulous! Liza and her daughter Zizi are the perfect care givers for any pet! We have a French bulldog with previous back surgery and we prefer independent sitters — finding Liza and Zizi was such a blessing. Our dog Pickles was so comfortable with them from the moment we dropped her off and when we picked her up at the end of the day she didn’t want to leave. We had piece of mind leaving Pickles with such caring sitters. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our baby! ❤️?”

“Olivia took great care of our bernedoodle Teton for the day we went to Yellowstone. I loved that she sent pictures during the day of her taking Teton for walks, giving her belly rubs, and watching a baseball game. I was a bit worried leaving Teton with someone while on vacation in Jackson, but was very happy with Olivia. Teton came home very happy.”
“Karlene and her family were perfect for dog day care for Izzy. Great communication, super good with an active dog, and their property is amazing. This worked out perfectly as a place for Izzy to stay while I skied. Would 100% recommend and looking forward to having Karlene take care of Izzy again. Thank you.”
About: I love animals and all things outdoors! I grew up with a blue heeler, chickens, rabbits, and honeybees.

I strive to provide exceptional care to your animal(s) while providing updates and photos throughout the stay. I'm adaptable to your pet's needs while maintaining a passion and commitment to animals. I'm a trustworthy and responsible individual who will care for your home and ensure it's tidy upon your arrival back. I work 4 days a week and have 3 days off.

I follow the needs and preferences of the client. My goal is to make your furry friend as comfortable as possible, while maintaining their usual schedule.
“Perfect fit for my dog. Could not have been more perfect. Clearly knowledgeable in dog behavior, introductions amongst dogs thought out dor the benefit of all the dogs present. Bowie was quick to feel at home and had a great time. He was having a great time when I got him.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for the last 14 years and looking forward to many, many more. Dogs and I have the same interests - walks, playing, snacks, fresh air, and lounging. We understand each other. Available daily, stay at home mom. I’m looking forward to being employed by dogs again by walking, pottying and looking after your loved pups after leaving the workforce working in the pet industry. I will follow any instructions provided by clients. Otherwise, I will walk pups daily, water/feed, potty, play and go adventuring with your pups as you see fit! I live in Alpine and am looking forward to meeting new pooches.
“We recommend Kara 100%!! We left Lara while hiking on the Tetons and we felt so comfortable and happy. She took great care of Lara and made sure she had enough playtime too.”
“We left our Goldendoodle Chewie with Eric two days while sightseeing in the Jackson Wy area. Eric was very flexible on the schedule of picking up and dropping off (we picked up Chewie one night at 11:15pm!). Chewie was very happy playing with the other dogs and was well cared for. In addition to watching him, Eric offered us several helpful training tips that we plan to follow up with. Would definitely use Eric service again and highly recommend him! He definitely knows dogs!!”

About: I am excited to take your dogs on walks, hikes, and any adventure they need! I can work with dogs of all ages and give them lots of love. My schedule is quite flexible. I’m currently in grad school online for education. On work days I am still available for walks every four hours. I wake up early to give immediate love and attention to pets. I’m a high energy girl so your pets will have several walks/runs per day. I will leave your home clean and tidy. I can follow schedules well, just let me know what your pets need!
“Claire really helped me in a bind! While down with Covid, I needed help getting my pup out to burn off his puppy energy. Claire not only answered the call super last minute, but she ran my puppy for me! I’m so grateful.”
About: Having grown up with dogs and cats I’ve been around them my entire life. Adopting a dog about 6 years ago has changed my life for the better. Adopting a pregnant cat was quite the experience! Happy to go on walks, have play time, administer medications including shots, and just cuddle with cats and dogs. I’m currently a full time student, all online, so my visit times can be very flexible. I have no set schedule for classes, and can schedule around other appointments that may come up. I’ve worked in Caretaking and property management for about a decade, combine that with having multiple cats and a dog I know how it can feel to be away from home and wondering how things are going. Timely communication is key!
“We had a great experience with Moriah. She walked Noodles for a full hour and Noodles came back happy, calm, and well-exercised. Communication was easy and reassuring, and we really appreciated the care and pics while we were skiing all day. We’d happily book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind Rover. 🐾”
About: I have been surrounded by animals from a young age, as my family has always fostered dogs. This upbringing has instilled in me a deep love and understanding of animals, and caring for pets is something I truly enjoy. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience with dogs, understanding that each one has its own unique needs. In New York, I served as a Manager at a Doggy Daycare for two years, and after relocating to Colorado, I held a similar managerial role at a Doggy Daycare in Longmont. Following the closure of that business, I transitioned into a managerial position at an Animal Hospital, further broadening my experience in the pet care industry. I am committed to treating your pet with the same care and attention I would give to my own, ensuring they feel loved and well-cared-for while you're away. I'm currently working from 7am-12pm and then I go back to work from 1-6pm Monday through Thursday as a Supervisor at an Animal Hopsital. Some days I may work 10-6pm and 7-9pm. I am able to provide exercise for your animals during my breaks or check in on them at that time, then spend the night after work. Feeding schedules may need to be modified but I assure you I will take care of your animals like my own! I also do have 2 kitties of my own but I am able to work around schedules to accommodate. I love to provide an enriching time for your animal in your home. My favorite thing to do is bring your dog for a long enriching and stimulating walk in nature so they can explore all the smells and sounds on their own. I also always send a few pictures to owners each stay/walk to make sure you stay updated with our activities.
About: For the past 22 years I have learned to raise, train and care for dogs from all walks of life. I enjoy the simple outings, to a very adventurous day in the forest with trails, water, exploring with new scents and varieties every minute of the day. And I still love to taking care of senior pets. As an addendum, I enjoy working with aggression issues. Whether a dog comes from a home or from the Shelter I have been able to help them become good citizens through spending time in nature. With my dogs as their guides they learn to run, explore and gain confidence by spending time in a natural and non threatening environment. With other dogs they are taught that they are no different from any other dog. They sense there is nothing to fear and that they are just one of a large pack, a pack that exists no matter where they go and one that they fit in with. I believe in being with your pet pretty much 24/7 . Well exercised, lots of play, every dog deserves this. From full on doggie boot camp with swims and trails to just relaxed easy walks, I cater to every dogs needs. I will enjoy focused time with your dog wherever you prefer, your choice or on a nature walk with me regardless of the time of the year. There is no iPhone use, just quality time with lots of interaction.
“Thank you for taking such great care of the pups and walking them a little extra. And big thank you for the picture updates and communication showing up and leaving the girls. We hope to see you soon!”

“AMAZING!! Mike watched our sensitive, kind of awkward and very large dog for 10 days and I could not say enough good things. Our dog was on the bed and sofa, under the covers and looked really happy. He is expensive but worth every dollar for the piece of mind knowing our dog was happy and safe going in long walks twice a day! I will be using him again.”
“Amazing family. So responsive and absolute lover of Abram the moment they met. The children are gentle and engaging. They have my furbaby tons of love and walks. I WILL be using Meg again and cannot recommend her more highly.”
“I am so happy with our experience with Gabriela. We were in town for a few days and wanted to hike some trails where dogs aren’t allowed. We boarded our dog Libby with Gabriela for a few days and it seemed to go great! Libby loved Gabriela and her dog. Our Libby is very energetic and requires oral medications — Gabriela seemed great with this. She also was an excellent communicator both leading up to and during the booking. I highly recommend Gabriella — I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Dana was amazing! She was able to watch my dog Otis for an overnight, last minute. She was incredibly kind and treated Otis like one of her own! I highly recommend and will be using her again!”
“Joe was fantastic! He took great care of my golden retriever, Tucker, and was able to accept my request on short notice. He was perfectly communicative and sent several updates, which I really appreciated. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting since the age of 12 along with working at a doggy daycare for 3.5 years and a veterinary research facility for a year. I have a passion for animals and pets. With a degree in Wildlife Science, I also have other animal handling skills including snakes, turtles, and birds! I am currently working a day job, and my schedule changes day by day but I am more than happy to coordinate a proper time to take care of your pets! I am able to walk, feed, water, play with and administer medication to your dog. I value enrichment and quality time with each animal. I also have experience dealing with aggressive and skittish behavior in animals.
“Liza and Zizi are the absolute best. We had a Rover booked who completely fell through with no communication. These two answered within a half hour, and we had our sweet Okie dropped off. Okie has the best time, they took him for walks, bike ride, swim in the creek behind their house. We received multiple pictures and communication throughout the day. It was our anniversary and sweet Zizi even made us cookies. When back in town will 100% be using this family again, they are the best.”
“Tracey was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated throughout the weekend with multiple messages, which I really appreciated. I could tell Winston had a great time—he was completely worn out and slept the entire day after I picked him up! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Carlyann was able to watch my kitten on a short notice appointment and I couldnt be ever more thankful! Her space is very clean, well kept, and safe for any pet. I would call her in a heartbeat again at any point in the future for her services.”
About: What Sets Me Apart For me, dog sitting isn’t just a job—dogs are my absolute best friends, my ultimate road trip companions, and my favorite hiking buddies. I know firsthand that your pup isn’t just a pet; they are a member of your family, and I treat them exactly like my own. What truly sets me apart is that I have successfully navigated almost every stage of a dog’s life, from the boundless energy of puppyhood to the tender, specialized care required in a dog's golden years. Because I also have a professional background in long-term, high-trust childcare, providing a reliable, safe, and highly communicative environment is second nature to me. My Services & Activities Whether your dog thrives on a quiet routine or loves to be on the go, I adapt to their personality. I offer dedicated dog walking, drop-in visits, and personalized house sitting. My style of pet care includes: Outdoor Adventures: Perfect for high-energy dogs who love hiking, exploring trails, and getting plenty of intense physical stimulation and fresh mountain air. Social & City Manners: I love taking well-behaved pups along for coffee shop runs or car rides, ensuring they get mental enrichment, positive reinforcement, and healthy socialization. Homebody Comfort: For seniors or anxious pups, I am entirely content slowing things down, keeping them cozy, and giving them all the belly rubs and focused companionship they deserve. Every walk or visit includes fresh water top-offs, standard feeding or medication administration if needed, and a detailed update with plenty of photos so you have total peace of mind. Schedule & Availability I work on a flexible, part-time schedule, which means I am not tied to a rigid 9-to-5 office job or a daily commute. This flexibility gives me dedicated, open blocks of time throughout the week to fully commit to your pet. When I am booked for a service, your dog gets my absolute, undivided attention, ensuring their daily routines remain consistent and uninterrupted. Deep Senior Care Experience I spent over 15 wonderful years caring for my previous dog, supporting him through every single life stage from the day he was adopted to his senior years. I understand the patience, gentle touch, and intuition it takes to care for aging pets, whether that means managing strict medication schedules, monitoring mobility, or just providing a calm, comforting presence. Puppyhood & Training Know-How Currently, I am raising my 10.5-month-old English Labrador, Eggs Benedict. If you have a younger pup, you can rest assured I am well-versed in the daily consistency required for puppyhood. I am actively involved in training, reinforcing good manners, and maintaining crucial routines so your pup stays on track while you're away. When your dog is with me, they don't just get a sitter—they get a dedicated companion who understands their needs, respects their routines, and loves them like family. Pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it is my daily lifestyle. I currently raise a 10.5-month-old puppy, so my home naturally runs on a structured schedule of crate training, active outdoor exercise, regular potty breaks, and daily training reinforcement. Professionally, I work in childcare Monday through Thursday. My schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to easily step away to pop home, walk dogs, and keep precise feeding and medication schedules perfectly on track. On any given week, a guest dog seamlessly integrates into an active, enriched routine. This includes neighborhood walks, social playdates with trusted neighborhood dogs, and plenty of outdoor time. Because I am already deeply committed to maintaining my own puppy's routine, keeping to your dog’s specific daily schedule—whether they need high-energy hikes or structured crate and rest time—comes naturally to me. Safety First, Always With over six years of professional experience in childcare, safety and situational awareness are second nature to me. I bring that same high level of vigilance, patience, and risk management to pet care. Whether at my home or yours, I am expert at anticipating a dog's needs, managing environments to prevent accidents, and reading canine body language to ensure they always feel secure. In My Home: Structured, Active, and Secure When a dog stays with me, they enter a home tailored for a happy, balanced dog life. Because I am currently raising a 10.5-month-old English Lab, my environment is fully puppy-proofed, secure, and organized around a predictable routine. Compatibility & Socialization: I love hosting friendly guest dogs who enjoy a bit of playtime. We do structured doggy playdates with my close circle of trusted friends and their dogs, ensuring all social interactions are safe, positive, and supervised. Routine & Rest: I am a big believer in the balance of physical exercise and proper rest. My home is set up for successful crate training and designated quiet time, ensuring your dog gets the decompression they need after a fun day. In Your Home: Respectful and Attentive If I am caring for your pet in your home, my priority is maintaining their absolute comfort and peace of mind. Keeping to Their Schedule: I strictly adhere to your established house rules, feeding times, and crating routines so your dog experiences zero disruption while you are away. Home Security & Cleanliness: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. My flexible schedule allows me to make regular check-ins to ensure your pet is never left lonely or waiting for a potty break. No matter the setting, my goal is to build a foundation of trust with both you and your pup, ensuring they are safe, happy, and treated like family.
“Tessa was happy to see us when we picked her up. Seemed comfortable with her temporary home, people, and their dog. Hard to debrief a dog on what her past few days have been like, though. ? We'll definitely return next time we go out of town.”
“I can’t say enough about Logan. He took great care of our dog from walking her, engaging her , following instructions and then went above and beyond! We were very fortunate he was able to house/dog sit over the holidays. Logan was flexible and accommodating; we had some unexpected company and he helped mastermind everything on our behalf. You and your pet would be very lucky and fortunate to have Logan’s services. Thanks to rover but especially to Logan!”
“Eric was professional and made us very comfortable leaving our dogs with him. He sent us daily pictures and let us know how they were doing. We will be utilizing his services again in the future! Thanks Eric!”
