About: I started my pet care at my local animal shelter, then became a dog bather for about 5 years. I pet-sat on the side the same amount of years, taking care of my neighbors elderly poodles, drop in visits for a young and spry golden retriever, also stayed overnight at client's house who had two dogs and a cat! I've given pill medication, dealt with prescribed food and separation feeding times, and given pet-breathalyzer for a cat with asthma. I work second shift, from 5pm-1am. So I'm available most weekdays from early morning (preferably 9am earliest) to early afternoon (3pm latest). I always enjoyed pet care and excited to get back into it! First off, listening to them! Carefully observing their behavior at their natural state, then hungry, or playful state. Making sure they get their energy out with play time/walking.
About: I have had pets in the house since I was a kid. Dogs, cats, hermit crabs, rats. I’m punctual and able to adhere to your rules/guidelines concerning your pet. I’m currently retired enjoying my time at home. Will work part time in the fall. We have 2 responsible adults and a teenager in our home that can take care of any needs or playtime your pet may need. I have a fenced yard and one high energy doggie that eats twice a day. Potty breaks are always available. I have 2 gentle, loving cats that enjoy being around other people and dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life and loved them each so much. I am experienced with a gentle heart and genuine love for animas. I’m currently home all week raising my kids and cats. I’m available anytime throughout the week to take care of your animals needs and wants! ❤️ I have a fenced in yard and can easily crate your animal inside my house. I have three friendly cats that sleep on their own level of the house at night.
About: I have trained dogs and cats of all ages, senior and puppies. I love to spend time with animals and help them blossom. I specialized in skunk care, but I'm an all rounder. I am currently unemployed looking for new opportunities while I wait to start school up again. I am open to working with all manner of clienteles, and I am flexible in timing and help. I am all about giving pets the respect and space they need. I am not an up in their face person, and simply wait until the animals decide they are ready for attention. I like to build trust with the animals I serve, and love to have repeat customers. Please give me a shot, and your animals are sure to thank you.
“Katie is very professional, prompt and genuinely loved getting to know and taking care of our 11-year old Havanese, Ida Mae.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we feel fortunate to have booked Kaylor for a 4 day drop in visit for our little, senior dog, Humphrey. Kaylor was so wonderful when we met her and she did a fantastic job taking care of Humphrey. She was loving and caring and provided frequent updates and pictures. She gave him his meds and lots of cuddles. We feel so blessed to have found our permanent dog sitter! Kaylor is exactly what you hope for when trying to find someone to take care of your pet and look after your home while you're away. Highly recommend her!!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, in all shapes and sizes. Ever since I was old enough, I have been pet/dog sitting for my neighbors and family friends. Currently having a senior dog, I understand that some pets need special medication, food, etc. I am more than happy to provide whatever type of care your furry family members need to feel comfortable. I am currently taking a class at Heartland Community College and have physical therapy twice a week. The class is only in person twice a week, so I am pretty flexible with dates and times for pet sitting. I want to make sure your pets are as comfortable and happy as possible while you are away. My focus is to give them lots of love and attention, as well as provide exercise through walks and playing in the backyard.
“Brooklynn does an amazing job with our pets. She truly treats them like her own and cares about their well-being. And they all love her too! When we get home, the house is always tidy and the animals are happy. We will continue to be repeat customers!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and my current golden retriever, Lulu, is 5.5 years old. We love our daily walks, sitting on the patio together or playing outside. She’s my best friend :) I work remotely from home and have tons of flexibility in my schedule for play, walks, and potty breaks. My kids are at college so it’s a distraction free and quiet household. I have a fenced in yard with a happy go lucky golden retriever who loves to play and is the sweetest and most gentle fur baby
“Jasmine was perfect, I could tell she cared a lot and it was nice getting daily check ins!”
About: I am an animal lover! My boyfriend and I have 4 cats of our own with a dog in the works! I have been entrusted by many to take care of their pets in a short term and long term setting. The needs of my pets, and YOUR pets come before my own needs and I hope you chose me to take this journey with you! I will always send as many updates as you would like and can guarantee that your pet is safe with me! I work a full time job and am looking to take care of animals after work and on the weekends. My hours are flexible on the weekends and are heavier on anytime after 4:30 on the weekdays. I have cats who own my home! At this time I am not accepting boarding assignments in my home, but I’m happy to take your pet on walks and do drop-In visits! My cats get 2 full meals a day, lots of treats and as many pets as they would like!
“Michele was great! She dropped in over 4 days to feed, administer medication to and clean up after my 4 cats. My cats were well taken care of and happy. Michele is also very responsive to messages and I was never worried. Would definitely recommend her services.”
“Bill and Marie did an excellent job of taking care of our cat Holly. She is a shy cat and this was the first time that we had left her for an extended time period. After a few days she warmed up to them and sat on Bill’s lap. They watered our plants and shoveled the snow which was much appreciated. When we need someone to take care of Holly again we will definitely contact Bill!”

“Rue (Michaela) provided excellent care for my cats several times.

Avery S.
“Avery is a major dog-lover, and may come close to being a “dog whisperer.” She is very attentive to the needs of a dog and will give it lots of love and attention. Avery is detail-oriented and will follow the specific regimen for your dog. She is extremely responsible and timely. Avery owns a very reactive dog and is comfortable with how to manage one in a setting encountering other dogs or people. She also owns a senior dog with food sensitivities, visual impairment and physical challenges. She can easily adapt to the needs of your dog.”
