“She truly cares about our pets and provides them the best care while we’re gone! We never have to worry when we’re out of town. She goes above and beyond to accommodate us. We are lucky to have found her!”
“Skye did great with Fennick and Nova! She house sat for me for a night while I had to go out of town. My dogs love her, and she took very good care of them. She did a great with my two very hyper pups, and I plan in using her services again. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Melissa was wonderful! She took great care of our little dog in our home. We met her the day before and felt so comfortable leaving her with our spoiled pup. She's very friendly and our little boy really seemed to love her. She sent pictures so we could see he was doing great. Thank you Melissa. We'll be calling on you again. ?❤”
“Lena is a gem! We couldn't ask for a kinder gentler soul to care for our pups in our home. She was very attentive with our elderly fur babies which left us at ease to leave home and enjoy our vacation. We've already booked a second trip with her! It's a wonderful feeling knowing you can entrust your pups (and home) to such a sweet person. 5 out of 5 stars? We'd give her 10 stars if we could!”
“Our pup was very happy being watched by Emma and we were happy to know she was in good hands and have frequent updates on how things were going. Thank you for taking such good care of her!”
About: A caring pet sitter with hands-on experience looking after dogs and cats. Familiar with feeding routines, short walks, basic grooming, and giving plenty of attention and play. Dependable, attentive to each animal’s comfort, and clear in communication with pet owners. I’m open 24/7 for all pet care needs. Whether you need early-morning walks, last-minute drop-ins, late-night check-ups, or extended boarding stays, I’m here any hour, any day. I keep my home tidy and hazard-free, stay close to supervise your pet at all times, and share fun photo updates so you always know they’re safe and happy.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years now, maybe even more. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, goats, pigs, ducks, fish, and birds. Recently, I was able to get a job working at home, so now I am able to take care of more pets. I’m currently working from home now, so I am able to travel to pet sit or have more pets in my home. I do work 6pm-2am also. I take care of animals just like I would my own, make sure they are fed, comfortable, and get to go out to exercise. I will also say that I care for the pets depending on the owners preference.
“Desiree watched our two pups over the weekend at our house and we could not be happier. She was our first experience using Rover and she has set the bar high! Our meet and greet helped to calm my husband and I’s nerves. She is on top of communication with quick responses. Our dogs were loved and we could tell they had a great time with Desiree. Hoping we can have her watch them again in the near future.”
About: Hi! Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From high-energy puppies to slow-paced seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — each one with their own quirks and needs. Whether your pup needs daily walks, playtime in the yard, belly rubs, medication, or a consistent routine while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. I’m confident, calm, and attentive — and I always treat pets like they’re my own. I understand how hard it can be to leave your dog behind, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, an overnight stay, or a week of care, I’m here to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. Let’s make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at home — even when you’re not. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets — whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Because I’m not tied to a full-time job, I’m able to adjust my availability based on each pet’s needs. I make sure to build my day around their routines, so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for — just like they would with you. Whether it’s one-on-one playtime, regular feeding schedules, or keeping up with medications, I take the time to make sure everything runs smoothly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels familiar and comforting. In your home: I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding and walk times to their favorite spots to nap. I keep everything clean, secure, and consistent, so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep you updated with regular photos and messages. In my home: I offer a pet-safe, cozy space where your dog (or cat, depending on needs) will get one-on-one attention and feel like part of the family. I maintain a clean environment with plenty of play, rest, and cuddle time. If your pet has special needs or routines, I’m happy to accommodate them — from crate training to medication schedules. No matter where the care happens, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, affection, and full attention to their emotional and physical well-being.
About: I have over 30 years experience in pet care which stems from a lifelong love of animals. I have over 16 years experience in dietary needs, general wellness, exercise, and medication administration. What sets me apart is my reliability, genuine love of animals, and attention to detail. I treat every pet like family, ensuring safety, comfort, and personalized care. Available for all professional and VIP services. I work remotely and my wife works 13 hour shifts. My daughter is 17 and loves the freedom of the house to herself. I have a blank slate when it comes to availability unless we have family time planned. If stays require being on site most of the day, I will need wi-fi available. I will take care of your pet as you instruct, always keeping safety in mind, but I will not do anything I don't deem suitable for your pet (even if instructed)!
About: I’m very easy going, have my own animals. I’m very good at training simple commands. Very active, so your dog will definitely get their exercise in! I love providing a lot of playtime! Dogs who cuddle are definitely welcome! I’ve trained my dog and helped train others. I am an EMT. I have experience watching many different animals, cats, dogs, rodents, reptiles, etc. I have watched 3 Great Danes at one time, so any size dog is good with me. I love to swim and be outside, so dogs who need exercise often, are a great match for me. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, so any age is also welcome. I do love meeting new dogs! I am currently available most days to check in on your furry loved ones. Feel free to reach out for all your visits and walking needs! I have two friendly dogs that would love to keep your fur babies company. I have my own leashes and harnesses for walks, but would gladly use anything you provide.

About: Growing up, we had a Chihuahua, a terrier and beagles. I now currently have 3 labs and 1 German Shepherd therefore I’ve been around and am good with dogs of all sizes. I’ve experienced the puppy stage and with my oldest dog reaching 11 years old currently I’m experiencing the senior stage. I work full-time, so a lot of my free time will be in the evenings and weekends. However, my schedule fluctuates and I have short days and days off. With having four dogs and six cats currently in my home I won’t be offering any in home services as of right now or overnight stays in your home. I will be offering leashed walks of all durations and drop ins for your home on weekends that I have available.
About: I can do anything from home defense training to basic training, having your dog walking calmly on a leash with no pulling and your dog will have no problem with sitting, laying, and staying. My daily and weekly schedules are very flexible. So I am available majority of the time to watch your dog when you need me too. I will love and take care of your pet as my own. Following any routine or rules you may have for and with your dog.
About: For years, friends and family have relied on me to provide excellent, attentive and loving care to their furry friends. Contact me for reliable care! I am working part time and working toward my career in finance in online college, so I have a pretty wide range of open availability.

“Katie is amazing with dogs and is an incredibly responsible person as a whole. My two German Shepherds Riot and Apollo are in her profile pictures. Riot is an imported working line Czech Shepherd with a lot of energy, drive, and is very dominant. Apollo is a West German and he’s known her since he was a puppy. Both love Katie and respect her. I don’t trust many people with my dogs, but I trust Katie 110 percent with my two!”
