“I’d give 10 stars if that was an option! Kim did amazing with my Tony. He has really bad separation anxiety when I leave but he had no probably with Kim. She really made him feel at home and treated him like her own. Very thankful I found her!”


“This was my first time using Rover as well as using a sitter I did not know. Rhonda provided an excellent pet sitting service for Maggie, a mid-size (30 lb) energetic Red Heeler/Whippet mix. She communicated with me quickly, answering all questions and sharing Maggie's stay daily. Rhonda provided true in-home care and a loving, safe environment. I am so impressed that I am booking another sitting session this coming week. Thanks, Rhonda!”


“She was easy to communicate with and always quick to respond. When we arrived, she met us outside with both of our dogs, one of whom has anxiety, which helped make the transition smoother. She introduced them to her own friendly dogs right away, which helped them settle in. Throughout their stay, she kept us updated with multiple photos, which we really appreciated.”


“Samantha gets an A++++++ from us & my dogs! My dogs loved her & she was soooo easy to work with, I will go back to her & would recommend any of you with dogs to leave them with her. She sends pictures everyday showing how she & the dogs are getting along. She even bathes them while they are there. When I picked my Rottweiler puppy up, she was so excited to see me, & wanted me to meet Samantha. Dogs are so smart.”


About: With years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, I provide reliable, loving, and personalized care. I specialize in working with both energetic puppies and senior pets who need extra patience and attention. From giving medication to managing special diets, I’m confident and calm under any situation. What sets me apart is my ability to quickly build trust with animals, even the shy or anxious ones. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m fully available every day of the week, which means your pet gets consistent, attentive care whenever you need it. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or last-minute drop offs, I can adapt to your pet’s routine and give them the love and attention they’re used to getting at home. Their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, pet friendly environment where routines are followed, and every pet gets the individual attention they deserve. From feeding schedules to walks and medication. In my home, pets have a clean, secure space to relax, play, and feel at ease, with constant supervision and zero overcrowding. I treat every animal like family and make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved at all times.

About: Being raised in a home full of animals/small farm, I have such a huge heart for dogs ❤️ Our 3 are my babies and I will treat yours with the same care! I work from home majority of the time throughout the week. Additionally, when away, I work nearby our home, with a flexible schedule and availability. We have a large yard and space around our home. We ensure safety by taking the dogs out on a leash and implementing frequent walks.

About: Lifetime of experience, including dogs with behavioral challenges and special needs. I've volunteered at local shelters, and I've fostered rescue dogs in need. I have quite a bit of experience with dogs of every background! I am currently a college student and taking some time off of work to focus on my studies and would like to make some extra cash to help pay my loans/carry some weight at my family's house. My family has quite some land, and although not fenced, I am very active and always run with my own dog on a leash. I do 30 minutes to an hour walk twice a day. Potty breaks are very consistent.

“She did a great job taking care of my dog and sent pictures keeping us updated on how our dog was doing. She was very nice and I will definitely be looking to have her watch my dog in the future!”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and I absolutely love being around them! I spend a lot of time at home and would be so happy to help care for your furry friends while you’re away. 🩷 I work from home Monday through Friday, so I’m around all day to keep your pets company! I spend most of my time hanging out with my three silly Frenchies, and I’d be more than happy to care for your pets in their own space, just need reliable WiFi. I have a fenced in back yard for the dogs to play! It’s a chainlink fence that’s 4.5 ft high. I also have a ring camera recording the front and backyard at all times

Sweden C.
“If you’re looking for someone who will love your pet like family, look no further than Sweden. I’ve known her for years, and she is truly one of the most caring, trustworthy, and animal-loving people I’ve ever met. Sweden has a natural connection with animals, dogs and cats instantly feel comfortable around her. Whether she’s going on long walks, playing fetch in the yard, or just giving belly rubs and snuggles, she gives every pet the attention and affection they deserve. She’s also incredibly responsible and communicative. You’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in loving, capable hands. If I had to leave my pet with anyone, it would be Sweden, no question. She’s the kind of person who shows up on time, pays attention to the little things, and truly treats your pet like her own. You (and your pet) will be so lucky to have her!”

Summer W.
“Summer is great with pets. I have an elderly, cranky English bulldog who is beyond spoiled and Summer would take care of her while I was away. She would sometimes stay a week or more and was excellent with my pup's ridiculous demands and pharmacy of meds. Mrs. Hudson was always happy and healthy when I returned. She was always excited to see her friend Summer when it was time for me to go away. In fact, now that we have moved, my dog is just a little less happy with any other sitter. You can be sure that your pets will be well taken care of and even a bit spoiled when you can't be there. I know how hard it is to trust someone with your furry family members but don't hesitate on contacting her. Your pups (or kitties) will be in great hands.”
