We did a walk-through with Audrey before the stay, she came in a timely manner, enjoyed the conversation and she answered any questions I had. Last minute our plans changed from an overnight stay to just drop in visit and she accommodated the changes. During her visit she updated us by sharing photos of Ellouise. I would recommend her, as well as will be using her in the future

Olivia took great care of my dog and kitten. She checked in with us daily, sent pictures and walked Willow. The house was left clean and tidy. It was such a relief to know my pets were happy and safe while I was away from home. Thank you, Olivia.

Mallory was so wonderful to our Izze and Maggie. I appreciated the daily communication and photo updates. This was the first time we went away and didn’t have the worries of them being taken care of to our standards, she certainly exceeded those.

Amie is phenomenal!! She really stepped up for us this past week when we were on vacation, she went above and beyond. Our house was badly hit with storms and she kept the pets and home safe. She’s not just your standard sitter, she’s so much more than that. We’re beyond blessed that she came into our lives and was able to take care of our fur babies for us. Took great care of our home, even cleaned out the fridge from losing power, ended up injuring her own knee on Mudd but didn’t skip a beat. Our puppy hadn’t been through storms yet and come to find out he absolutely hates them, she made him feel so comfortable. The communication was outstanding!! We will be using her without a doubt for all future trips. Thank you Amie from the bottom of our hearts!

Morgan was amazing with our cat and dog while we were on vacation. She sent us daily updates and was quick with communication. Our dog had a minor injury right before we left and Morgan was great at administering his medicine and making sure he adhered to the vet recommendations. We would definitely book with Morgan again.

About: I’ve taken care of of dogs and cats since I could remember. Neighbors, parents friends, or even my friends would ask me to help watch or spend time with their loved animals, I always found meeting new dogs and cats exciting and getting to know their personalities and grow with them quite rewarding, I have 2 dogs of my own and a cat which I am very committed to taking care of and ensuring they live long, happy, and healthy lives. I will always treat any animal as it’s my own, with love, care, and affection. I currently am working 7-3 Wednesday-Sunday and have time after that to take care of any loving pets, as well as my own as I spend time with them and fit their needs, I am dedicated to being able to come right after work, or any event in order to ensure your pet is well taken care of I treat any pet as their are my own. I have trained my dogs to be able to go outside in a unfenced backyard and remain on our property, by rewarding self control, and urges to run off they are skilled well in being able to be outside on their own and when to alert me to be let outside to use the bathroom. Inside the home there are many toys and beds for them to live a comfy and playful life inside with a safe environment for my pets.

About: I have experience caring for animals and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping up with each dog’s normal routine. I understand every dog has a different personality and energy level, and I’m patient, attentive, and happy to give them the care and attention they need. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. I’m currently working around 30 hours a week. I work right down town in Saint Joesph Michigan. My schedule is very flexible. I work between five and six hour shifts. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I care for pets in their own home based on their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your home with respect and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.

It was our first time using Rover and Bethanie did an amazing job watching our 3 dogs. She was great at communicating with us during our trip and sending pics of our dogs. She also left our home very clean! We would definitely recommend Bethanie and hire her again!

About: I’ve raised dogs, cats & goats since I was old enough to hold a leash! From bottle feeding kittens to training goats to do tricks, dogs feel like a breeze. For the last 6 years, I’ve taken care of family & friend’s dogs. My husband & I have a 80lb golden doodle (who is transitioning into his elder stage of life) so I understand the importance of daily walks, play dates, and proper grooming. I vow to apply the same care for your pet! I’m currently a server, so I work less than 30 hours a week & mainly evenings! This leaves me plenty of time to pet-sit or walk during the day, especially on my days off. I have a fenced in back yard, a park within a 3 minute walking distance, and an incredibly friendly golden doodle. He loves to play fetch and tug. We take our dog on daily walks, weekly baths, and administer the proper vitamins and ear care as he transitions into being an elder dog. It’s important that I translate these same practices to clients animals!

About: Hello I am Emily! I am a great dog-walker, tug a war player and a responsible dog lover! My schedule is very flexible. I live just a block away from a big park. I have had big labradors all my life but I don’t discriminate! I love small and massive dogs alike. When I was younger I started a dog biscuit business and would cater dog parties. I hope you allow me the chance to get to babysit your 4 legged best friend! I am a small business owner and can typically step out of my store whenever your pup needs me. My shop is right downtown st. Joesph Working in clients home is best as my dog is a little to rambunctious at times. I’ve found it to be most comfortable for your pet to be in there own home with all treats, toys and normal comforts.

Gina was amazing! We had no idea how wonderful a sitter could be until we came across Gina. Not only did she take amazing care of our fur babies, but she also cared for us! Any concerns we may have had were addressed before we even had them. Her communication is top notch, we knew everything our dogs were up to as she provided frequent updates, photos and videos. I swear our dogs FINALLY learned how to play tug-o-war from her. I’m the 7 years we have had them they never grasped the concept until they spent time with Gina and her fabulous dog Sydney (who became fast friends with our dogs). Would recommend Gina 1000%!! Actually considering scheduling a trip just to get her back ❤️❤️

About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. My dad used to help help run a rescue for several years, and we had many dogs of varying breeds and ages in our home. I currently have one dog named Alvin who was born in 2022. He is a yellow lab with a lot of energy! I am venturing into the working world, and this is my only role. My availability is wide open and I'm willing to help when needed! I have a small fenced in area under our deck where my dog relieves himself. I go for walks and there is a dog park very close to the house. My dog has extreme crate anxiety, so he isn't created. I am comfortable helping to ensure your pet is created as necessary.

Absolutely handsome down wonderful. My dogs loved her. She made she they felt loved. She also is great woth photography because not only did I get pictures everyday, she legitimately caught some of the cutest moments they've had on camera. She walked them as much as they wanted to be walked and treated them with an unmatched kindness and compassion. I will absolutely be going with Olivia to watch my fur babies on all of my trips out of town.

We booked Sara to help with out with our two dogs for our wedding and she went above and beyond my expectations! I’ve never had someone I didn’t know watch our boys, but she quickly gained my trust and made sure they were well taken care. She drove our boys to and from our wedding venue, helped with them during pictures, and made sure they were comfortable before leaving. Truly made our special day that much more special and eased my nerves not having to worry about them.
