“First time using River and we picked Marie to watch our pup he's usually a bit anxious to be left somewhere strange but he did great. She was great at sending pictures and videos of his stay. He was worn out but appeared to have had a good stay.”


“Excellent service. Zach and his daughter were great with my dog Rex! Great setup with a tall fence and Rex loved playing with their dogs.This was a same day booking and they were able to accommodate us last minute and also the following day. I had only left my dog one day at a kennel his whole life so was nervous and within minutes knew I had made the correct choice with Zach and his home!”


“So good with Maple's puppy energy, her home is so dog-friendly with an amazing back yard for safe wandering and playing. So grateful my puppy can have a great time with her new friends at Kathy's home while I am working!”


“Alexandra does a great job! I take Tobie here a couple times a week and he LOVES playing with her dogs. She does great with communicating any issues and has worked with me wonderfully to resolve them. She’s also very flexible with me as I need late pick up times since I get off work later in the evening.”


About: Hello! My name is Anita and I am so excited to meet you and provide care to your pet. I teach at a local university and my schedule is somewhat flexible. Additionally, my wife is available during the day so your furry family member will rarely be without human company! We have two kiddos who enjoy having a pup around so plenty of cuddles to go around. I have been an avid animal lover since birth, and have worked with animals for over 25 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, gerbils, hamsters, iguanas and more. Due to my experience working at a vet clinic, I feel comfortable administering medication and caring for pets with special needs. Senior pets are a favorite of mine. Through my experience, I understand the uniqueness of every pet and I look forward to meeting yours! It fits in well as there are multiple people in my home who are excited, and enjoy, pet care. We can cater to your pet's needs. I pay close attention to the pets I care for and do my best to maintain the schedule you keep at your home which also helps pets adjust to staying in my home.


“Betty and Mark were incredibly considerate and attentive hosts. They ensured that we had a thorough meet and greet beforehand, and sent great updates throughout the stay. I would highly recommend them!”


About: My name is Holly. I have 1 chihuahua. I am an animal lover! I grew up on a farm, so I am familiar with care of many types of animals. I have never not had a dog in my life. I have a flexible schedue, own my own home, work remotely full-time , and am very dependable. When house sitting, i do prefer stays less than 4 days, but willing to consider longer stays. I will have to bring my 4 lb chihuahua with me to house sit, so your dog(s) would have to be good with other dogs. I'm looking forward to meeting and caring for your furry loved ones! Why I love dog sitting I have had at least 1 dog my whole life. I've had breeds ranging from Chihuahuas, to Boxers, to Bull Terriers. Dogs are a blessing and I love having them in my life. I will administer pills and liquid drops, but not shots. I work remotely, so I am fully available to your pet. I have a 15 year old chihuahua who is very chill. No children or anyone else in the house, so if your dog or cat needs a relaxing stay, I can provide that.

“As always Kaylee is great and Gigi loves going to her house to play with all her friends! Very flexible as well which is nice and peace of mind knowing she's safe with her! :)”


About: Animals have always been part of my life, from Dalmatians and a Great Dane to a sassy pet chicken. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, and even had lovebirds at one point! I truly enjoy connecting with each pet’s unique personality. Working from home with a flexible schedule means I have lots of time to give your pets the care and attention they need, whenever you need help. Think of my home as your pet's fun, safe hangout! Working from home means endless cuddles and playtime, with trust and their well-being always my top priority.

About: I've grown up with fuzzies and cared for them all. Tended and loved bunnies both big and small, pups young and old, cats timid and bold. Regardless of pet, I will treat 'em like gold. Loved on and spoiled they'll be sorry to go, I'll keep them quite cozy and you in the know. Caring for fur-babies requires love, understanding, and flexibility. Each pet comes with her own needs and personality. With three dogs (Diamond, Trish, and Dusty) and three cats (Joel, Joe, and Dom) in my care, I've had a little bit of practice in nourishing each individual purr-sonality. Once we get the schedules sorted, I'll be sure to give your loved one the same consideration and I think we'll get along just fine. That being said, I kindly ask that you be mindful of my time. When I reply to your initial message, I typically wait 4-24 hours for a response. If I don’t hear back within that window, I may archive the request. If you send me a booking request but aren't sure of the exact dates and times, I can hold your request for a few hours while you confirm the details. If the issue is not resolved within that time frame, the request may be archived. Hello, and thank you for meeting me here! If I'm at your house, your fur-baby will be let out every 4-8 hours unless otherwise needed. At least one daily walk is guaranteed (weather permitting) so your little one can catch up on all the neighborhood gossip; if there's a dog park nearby, I'll take him to meet up with his friends. If you'll provide me with your dog's dietary needs, medications, and routines; I'll do my best to make sure that he's feelin' just as fly as he would be if you were there. Now if your pup chooses to stay at my lovely establishment, I do have a questionnaire for all clients to ensure that every aspect of your pup’s care is covered. Among other things, I ask about your pup’s needs, medications, vaccinations, preferences, and routines. After the business part is sorted, I have for your pupper two yards; one for business, one for fun. My house has two floors; the first floor is all his. The rules are pretty chill. Pets are allowed on the furniture, food and water are freely available, tricks are rewarded with treats, and if he's a well-behaved gentle-pup, bedtime is kennel-free. However, if you have different boundaries set for your pet I'll be happy to ensure that your little one minds his manners during his stay. Oh, one more thing: I am the tug-o-war champion, though your dog is welcome to try and take my title.

About: Hii!! I’m Julia and I absolutely love animals. I grew up with dogs and spent a lot of time caring for stray cats, so being around animals has always come naturally to me. I regularly dog sit for my parents, friends, and neighbors, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company while their humans are away. I’d love to be a part of your pet’s routine and give them all the love and attention they deserve! Pictured are a couple pets I regularly look after. 🐾💛 I grew up with dogs, cared for stray cats, and these days I regularly dog sit for my parents, friends, and neighbors. I'm currently on summer break and would love to spend time with some furry walking companions! Whether it’s strolls around the neighborhood, playtime, or just being a cozy buddy, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and loved. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for both cats and dogs, and I make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable in my care. For dogs, I take them outside regularly for walks, fresh air, and playtime. I keep their routines consistent, whether it’s feeding, medication, or quiet time. For cats, I create a cozy, low-stress environment with room for litter boxes, toys, and hiding spots if they need them. I also keep plenty of space for any supplies you provide, and I always treat your pets like they’re my own — with lots of love, patience, and attention.

About: I have been pet owner for many years now ! I have taken care of different breeds and sizes ! I will care for your pet like our own ! There is one dog in the house that is really good with other dogs. I will walk your dog around our neighbor hood and if it’s okay with you taking them to the dog park that is just a short drive away . We will take pictures for you and keep you up to date with how your animal is doing ! I currently work from home right now so I am home and able to take your pet out , play with it, take it for walks and just give it attention that it probably wants while it’s missing you . would like a small to medium dog only nothing to big since our dog is a medium sized dog . I also ask that you have a crate for your animal so when we are gone it can be in the cage like ours would be . I also ask that your animal is up to date on there shots and that there is no fleas and that your animal has had some sort of treatment .

“donald communicated well & bubby came back very happy! he helped with a last minute booking & i couldn’t be more thankful”


“I was far from home and needed a very last minute dog sitter. I reached out to Tyler and he immediately responded and we set up a quick meet and greet, and you could tell Tyler has a special bond with animals. Tyler took great care of my sweet boy Rusty. He took him on extra walks and met Rusty’s special needs. If I lived closer I would definitely be a repeat customer! Thanks Tyler!!”


“Carrie was very accommodating and she was so good with my dog! It felt really good to know that she was safe and cared for!”


About: My senior dog passed away recently and I’m looking for pups to care for until I decide on my next fur baby. I am a hiker and constantly in the woods so if your dog likes walks, I’m your gal! I’m skilled in emergency care and can administer medications. I am a medical professional and my schedule is flexible. I’m willing and able to spend the extra time and love your doggos (but I’m not prejudiced to just dog love!) because all creatures deserve kindness and respect. I have experience dispensing medications and caring for animals with anxiety. Please consider asking me to care for your dog/cat, I will treat them as if they were my own. -Sam I am a remote worker and am able to spend ample time with your animal! Walks are typically 30 minutes minimum, unless otherwise requested. I hike daily and I’m always looking for a hiking companion. Your dog will be able to roam freely in my home (unless otherwise requested). If I’m away, I will likely crate your dog unless they are potty trained and have house manners.

“Hannah was great w/ my boys. She played w/ them and took them for a good walk and even sent me pics. They had room and freedom to roam the house freely and room to play catch for my shepherd, which was very important! Lol I have 2 big boys that are well behaved but can be intimidating for some ppl just d/t their size, Hannah showed no fear! Thank you for a great day!!”


“Pat was amazing with our dog Lucy. Our daycare had to go over until the morning due to getting home super late and she was very accommodating. Lucy had a blast playing with a new friend! We will definitely be back. Thank you!”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and absolutely love dogs. Two of which, I trained from puppies to adults, including: potty training, crate training, and basic obedience training. I currently am in-between jobs and hoping to make a little cash and meet some sweet pups along the way. I’m home basically all day, so would be available basically all the time. I treat all animals with care and love, treating them just as I treat my own pet. Firm when necessary but lots of love and attention.

About: I have a pup and he is my world. So as a pet owner I want to give people the same reassurance that I would want. Before this I had another dog who is no longer with us but I love every dog like it’s my own, this world is crazy and it’s hard to trust people with the things we love most in this world. I enjoy walking and playing with the dogs and going to the dog park to get them some exercise. I also live in a nice little area that has multiple trails and walking area around so that there’s more than one thing to do. So hopefully your pups will have as much fun as I hope they will. My husband I currently work remote. I have been for the past four years, which has been wonderful for not only my own dog, but for my rover dogs also. We don’t have any kids we just have one dog and we live in a townhouse. We live in a townhouse so we have plenty of space for the dogs to have their own areas. If you have toys, blankets or things of comfort for the pups we ask that you please bring them just to make your pups more comfortable while you are away!
