“Heather was ABSOLUTELY phenomenal with our baby boy, Dobby! He is still a pup and recently adopted by us… so we knew he would need extra love & care. & that’s exactly what heather provided. She sent pics and updates all the time & communicated exceptionally. I will be using Heather again and again & I would recommend her to anyone else as well. Thanks again, Heather!”


“Caleb and Mercy were great! The helped me out last minute (literally). My pup seemed to really enjoy to be in their company. He was definitely shown much love with these two and got a lot of exercise in. He was wore out and sleeping as soon as he got in my car from pick up. Caleb and Mercy sent me pictures and kept me updated. I look forward to using them again!”


“This was my first time using Rover and Janaye was phenomenal. She updated me on how my pups were doing and had them outside exercising with her dogs daily. They seemed right at home!”


About: Hello! My name is Brooke and I have a precious English Springer Spaniel and had a beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog. I am a big dog lover and take my dog everywhere she can go with me! We love to hike, go biking, chase squirrels and the next door neighbors dog! I love spending time with animals, period, whether it’s playing with them or just taking them on a much needed walk! I also have some grooming experience, though completely self taught. I used to take care of my puppers hair from baths to hair cuts. I am not a professional groomer, but when it comes to baths I am not at worried about getting a little wet and soapy! I also have house sat/pet sat for various families over the years and am extremely flexible with whatever families need. I have house sat/puppy sat from just a couple nights to several months at a time. I offer services of walking, in-home visits, over-night stays and quite frankly am flexible with any other situations that may come up! Thanks for reading and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I currently work full time and even though I love puppies, would prefer to watch dogs that have a well established routine and can be ok for sometime alone before I can come and walk them and play with them. This is part of my personal routine with my own puppy. At this time I do not have a fenced in yard at my own home, so talking my dog for a long walk on the trails near my house is a must! For families where I am watching not only their animal but their home, I like to work within their animals normal routine so as not to add any more stress to the owners or the animal.

About: Dedicated. Trustworthy. Compassionate. As a premier pet care professional, I bring a unique blend of expertise, reliability, and genuine love for animals to every client I serve. My mission is to provide the highest standard of care—tailored to each pet’s personality, routine, and needs—ensuring peace of mind for discerning owners and comfort for their beloved companions. Whether it’s a daily walk, overnight stay, or specialized care for senior or anxious pets, I approach every interaction with patience, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. I pride myself on being more than just a caretaker—I become a trusted extension of your family. With a deep understanding of animal behavior, strong communication with pet owners, and meticulous attention to detail, I create a luxury-level experience that both pets and owners can rely on. Because your pet deserves nothing less than exceptional care. I work remotely Monday through Friday, allowing me to have a flexible schedule to care for your pets whether it be walking or even house sitting. Caring for Pets Like They’re Family – At My Home or Yours Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, my approach is always rooted in compassion, consistency, and comfort. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, routines, and preferences to ensure a seamless and stress-free experience. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, secure, and calm environment where they’re treated as part of the family—with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and personalized attention. I maintain a structured yet flexible routine to mirror what they’re used to, minimizing any anxiety from being away from home. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar surroundings and daily rhythms. I provide respectful, discreet service, keeping your home tidy and your pet safe, loved, and content. From feeding and walking to medication administration and enrichment activities, every detail is handled with the utmost care. My goal is always the same: to create a loving, trustworthy environment where pets thrive and owners have complete peace of mind.

“Our dogs had a wonderful experience with M&J. They were flexible when our leave time changed. We also got adorable photos of them having fun with their new friends. These two are dog lovers and made our fur babies feel right at home. I wouldn't think twice about booking.”


“I could not have asked for a better person to leave Angel with. Linda is very kind and very good with animals. She took excellent care of Angel. She kept me updated. I will always use Linda in the future.”


“Mariah took such good care of my Molly girl! She was relaxed and happy when I came to pick her up. It was obvious she genuinely cares for the animals in her life, and the pets are lucky to have her! Thank you, Mariah!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I have a rescue dog now and previously cared for my senior dog, who was diabetic with hip issues for over 5 years. I’m confident handling shy rescues, seniors, and pups who need special attention or medication. I’m currently job hunting, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and boarding in my home most weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I don’t offer in-home stays, but I’ll make sure your pup gets the same love and care they’d get at home. I currently have one friendly dog and one calm, well-behaved cat who are both used to being around other pets. My home is safe, pet-friendly, and I’m always watching to make sure everyone is comfortable. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and I’ll follow any routines or instructions to help them feel right at home. I’ll be moving soon to a home with a fully fenced yard for even more space to play!

“Selena and her family welcome your pet like their own. This was my first experience with Rover and my dog stayed 10 days with her. She was very kind and loves animals. Very grateful that I got to meet her and let my dog stay with her. Appreciate all the updates and pictures daily. Would use Selena again and again. Hands down the best experience ever! Thank you, Selena for keeping Christopher and letting me enjoy my vacation.”


About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs, cats, and horses from a young age. I also have experience in dog grooming, ranging from small to large dogs. I am fluent in American Sign Language. I am flexible as I work from home. I normally check pets at least two times a day, but more check in times are available upon request. I have a friendly dog who loves to play and make new friends. He will be very helpful in helping young dogs learn how to socialize.


“Deserae is very professional and caring. After meeting her and her children I didn't worry about my two babies for a minute. I received many pictures of their visit. I would use this service again with Deserae and recommend it to anyone. Joyce”
