About: I have had dogs for 24 years, cats for 16. My husband and I have fostered to adoption nearly 60 cats and dogs. After struggling to find quality affordable boarding care for our pets we have decided to open our home to others in the same situation. We have cared for puppies and kittens from 6 weeks up and have fully fenced yard. Our house has kids and pets but we are able to separate as needed. We work outside of the home M-F and if you need care outside the weekend we prefer if you have a kennel for your pet. This is something we can chat about and we have watched many dogs who do not have kennels as well. Please just reach out and ask us questions to see if we are good fit for your pet to feel comfortable while you are gone. Jen and Josh are both home on weekends so there is plenty of time for play time or walks in our schedules. We also have a 12 and 15 year old available to help with extra playtime or attention needs. We do have experience with giving oral medication and eye ointments but not injections. We have a fully fenced yard and a 3 level home to keep pets safe as needed. We have 2 very friendly dogs to keep your pet company but if they prefer to be alone there is enough space to keep them separate. We also have 2 cats that are very friendly to other animals but they can also be kept separate if needed. Our home has 3 kids (2 older and 1 preschooler) that have been taught to give animals respect and space. If you are comfortable with them interacting with your pet they can help or we can make sure there are only adults interacting with your pet.

“Madelynn was very personable. She clearly cares about pets, and asked us good questions that we hadn't thought of. I definitely hope to use her service again.”

About: I have grown up around dogs. I look after my neighbors dogs when they have a sporting event or vacation. I let their dog outside to go to the bathroom and when they are done I play with them for a little bit. I currently have three dogs, a black lab mix, a yellow lab mix and a papillon-jack russel. The papillon is my own and care for him everyday. I walk him, play with him and feed him. My schedule is open, so I am available when you need me to watch your pet. I am available any time of the day . My clients home normally have a fenced in yard and I do play with them so that they will get plenty of exercise. I can crate your pet if needed.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs almost my entire life. I love the unconditional love they give. I enjoy spending time outside but also can relax inside. Whatever suits your dog best. I’ve dealt with crazy hyper dogs (like my own) and also the dogs that rather relax alone. Each holds a special place in my heart. I currently work full time. I don’t work Mondays so I would be perfect for a long weekend. I work longer days so I am open to being available for any dog but I leave home early in the morning and I return in the evening. Weekends allow for the most availability for me (with the addition of Mondays) I love to be outside so keeping an eye on any dog while letting them outside will not be an issue. I can leash them if preferred. The dog will be in the comfort on their own house!!

“Erin and her son took great care of our energetic lab puppy in a drop-in visit, fed, pottied and played with her. Will definitely be looking to have her help us out in the future as well.”

“Carrie did such a great job taking care of our kitty! We were very comfortable with Carrie. Her communications with us were excellent. 100% recommend.”

“Megan did a couple drop-ins for my dog Milo and I have no complaints! She was willing to swing by over the weekend to meet him before she dropped in which was much appreciated. She is friendly and provides photos and great reports of how Milo is doing when she drops in. I hate to leave him home for so long but it gives me some peace of mind knowing that he has a new buddy to come visit him during the day. :)”

“First time Rover user and I picked Lauren based on her 5-star reviews. Lauren was great, she is super nice, she paid attention to some dog specific things, and most importantly the dogs loved her. She is highly recommended and I definitely will be using her again in the future.”

“Jackie was terrific! She took great care of our pets over the holiday weekend. She had great communication, sent pictures, and was very responsive. Our cats and bunny were happy and healthy when we returned. Thank you, Jackie!”

“Kacey is our go to sitter, I am so glad we found her when we moved to the area! She treats your pets like they are her own and loves and cares for them so very much! My cats love her and are always so happy to see her. She takes care of all there needs and makes sure they have the attention they crave while we are away so they don't get lonesome. She helps alleviate my worries while I'm away making my time elsewhere more enjoyable! I can't say enough positive things about her she is amazing!!!”

Emma D.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16. In high school, I worked at a dog daycare for 3 years where I was a manager and handled up to 30 dogs on a daily basis. These dogs varied in breed and behavioral characteristics, and it was my responsibility to ensure they were cared for and safe. I followed strict procedures regarding meals, safety, and potty breaks. I’ve also been a go to dog-sitter for friends and family for the past 3 years, staying in their homes taking care of their pets and following the provided instructions they left for me. My tasks as a dog sitter have included feeding at designated times, playing with them, and letting them out regularly. I’m currently between jobs and have a seasonal coaching job (ends in May) so my schedule is very open except from 3-5:15 M-F due to my coaching responsibilities. My flexible schedule allows me to take care of your pups and give them the time they deserve. When taking care of your pups or kitties (for overnights or drop ins), I love being given specific care instructions to ensure that there isn’t a change in their routine. Furthermore, if house sitting, I want to know and abide by your homes rules to be respectful to your space.

“Emma helped me out big time when I needed a last minute drop in for my standard poodle mix Nilla. She sent me updates and Nilla was happy to have the company! She followed all directions seamlessly and asked questions if she had them. Would definitely recommend Emma and am looking forward to reaching out to her in the future!”

About: I absolutely love dogs and treat every pet like family. I’ve been around dogs my entire life — growing up with them and always having them as part of my family. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and attention. I have personally raised two puppies (including one currently) and helped care for several others, so I understand the consistency, training, and care young dogs need. I also had my own dog live to 15 years old, which gave me experience caring for a dog through every stage of life, including senior care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or just companionship, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and consistent care. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to provide care throughout the day and stop by in the morning, during lunch, and at night as needed. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I am available for morning and evening visits/check-ins. When I’m in town on weekends, my schedule is very flexible, so I’m often available for additional visits, walks, or extended care. Because of my schedule, I’m able to provide reliable care, maintain routines, and make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and of course lots of affection and playtime. I understand that every dog has different needs and personalities, so I adjust my care based on their energy level, age, and routine. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable providing patient and attentive care for all stages of life. In a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow any instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, walks, and any special care requests. I also like to provide updates and photos so owners can feel comfortable knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: No matter the breed or age of the dogs I have cared for, one thing remains the same - the love and affection they always share. I have over 25 years of experience caring for families' dogs and sometimes cats. I work remotely full-time from my home and am also able to work full-time from your home with Wifi. I am available to care for your pup(s) any day of the week. I have a large yard and will personally walk your dog in the yard as often as needed with a leash. I am available to take your dog for longer walks at least twice a day. I have a large indoor crate and dog beds if needed.

“Cori really loved on my pets and catered to my extra requests. She went above and beyond to carry unexpected large boxes into the garage. She also cleaned my house. Will book again!”

About: I have owned and taken care of numerous breeds of dogs. They range from all types of bully breeds, various mastiff breeds, terriers, and more. I am very comfortable with multiple types of dog personalities and have also trained several dogs. I am retired and able to spend quality time with your pet. Your pet will be in my home with me and my wife. I love to spend my time outside or relaxing in my large yard! I can offer numerous potty breaks and am flexible with various schedules. We live on a lake with 3 acres of land. Your pet will be one of our family members and treated well with lots of playtime and cuddling. I currently have one dog who is very friendly with other dogs. I have a large yard with alot of wooded areas and very low traffic streets around me. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on beds as we love to cuddle. However we follow your wishes, meaning if you prefer no bed then they will have plenty of dogs beds on the floor to sleep on.

“Alexis did very well with Husker. He is very leery of new people and she was patient with him. Was even able to get him to calm down enough to go for a walk. We have now hired Alexis for a 5 night overnight stay.”

About: I have always grown up with pets and I have loved taking care of them. I am also going to college to be a veterinarian. I currently work part time so I will have plenty of free time and my schedule will be very open this summer to take care of your animals. I will always make sure to respect your home whenever I am there. I will make sure it continues to be a safe environment for your animals.

“Christina took great care of our pets!”
