“Matt and Alyssa were awesome with our two cats! Lots of pictures every day the cats were doing great when we got home. Matt and Alyssa are great with cats, I was impressed because one of our cats is usually very shy and timid, especially with new people. They had her out and playing day one, which considerating it took 2 years before she would let me pet her, was impressive. Will definitely be booking Matta and Alyssa again!”
“I recently booked with Liv for the first time, and my kitties were in capable hands! Always prompt and she was patient with winning over my two kitties. They both were well cared for and given lots of love and attention, and she even managed to treat a scratch on the snoot of my one kitty. Would recommend!”
“Eric was fantastic to work with. He was professional, personable, and prompt in providing pictures and videos after he visited Opal. He made us feel comfortable, and built a relationship with our pet. I would recommend Eric to anyone looking for a trustworthy and considerate sitter on Rover.”
“Wendy went far and beyond in helping me navigate a most difficult situation. I had to go into the hospital suddenly and I cannot tell you what a great relief. It was to have her there at my house, taking care of my cats. I have already booked her again for more cat care. Choose her with confidence!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, from high energy pups to calm senior companions. Over the past 7+ years, I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family by walking dogs, providing overnight care, administering medications, and reinforcing basic commands when needed. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and routine, whether they need extra exercise, mental stimulation, or just a cozy lap and calm presence. Safety, consistency, and love are my top priorities with every dog I care for. I work from home full-time, which means I have great availability during the day to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your home. I’m flexible with scheduling and can easily accommodate midday check-ins, evening visits, or extended stays depending on your needs. For safety, I do not host pets in my home, as I have two cats. However, I provide trusted in-home care at your place, ensuring your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow routines carefully and can administer medications, manage crates, or give solo attention if needed.
“We can’t say enough good things about Sarah. In the midst of an unexpected family emergency, we had to leave town on very short notice. Sarah responded immediately, came over to meet our cats the same day, and took the time to carefully learn their routines and needs. Over the course of our time away, we ended up extending her services twice, and she was consistently flexible, kind, and understanding—especially impressive given that we had just met. She gave our 17-year-old cat all of his medications with care and made sure both of our kitties were safe, comfortable, and well-loved in our absence. We appreciated the regular updates and could tell they were in excellent hands. Sarah is not only dependable and responsible, but also clearly an animal lover. We’re so grateful we found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Rachel was awesome helping out in a pinch when my flights got delayed and I needed an extra check in added on to my booking for Gracie and I came home to a happy kitten!”
“Annie is a great pet sitter. Our pets were happy and relaxed when we returned from our weekend away. She was punctual, neat and sent us photos. It was cute. Thanks Annie 🙂”
“Maddy did an awesome job checking in on my cats. I loved getting pictures and updates while I was away. She was always very prompt to respond to messages. She went above and beyond in what I expected! It was a relief to know they were in good hands - I'll definitely use Maddy again the next time I need someone to check on Fred and George!”
About: I've always had dogs, but unfortunately my last dog (the dalmation mix) took a trip to doggy heaven a little while while ago. This is a wat to slowly get back to the pet world since at the moment I can't have another one (...yet!). I currently work 9-5. If you have an independent dog/cat, that wants loving before and after that, we can work it out. *sharing bed included* Walking, feeding, playing, cuddling, sharing a bed- just tell me about their habits, needs and likes. This is their time, and I will make sure they're happy and well taken care of.
“Seamus helped me out totally last-minute and was a perfect caretaker for my two cats. Seamus was not phased by Zola, my standoffish cat, and noted "Zola sightings!" And he noted that my furry 17-lb, Squirrel reminded him of his cat. I highly recommend Seamus! So do my cats!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life! I've grown up a HUGE animal lover and have often cared for my friends dogs, cats, and other pets since I was younger. I have experience from when my dog was a puppy all the way until now as a senior dog! I promise to show so much love and care for your fur babies and always treat them like my own. I currently have a part time job. This gives me a lot of flexibility and free time in my schedule. I am available most days of the week and on occasion the weekends. I will pay close attention to any and all needs of your dogs! Let me know and I will make sure to do it. I can easily crate your dog, feed/walk them at specific times, give them medicine, etc if needed.

“Ava is a kind, attentive, and responsible pet caregiver. From the start, she’s always been a wonderful pet sitter for our two pups! We have a big white shepherd and a playful catahoula leopard puppy, and she does an amazing job caring for both of them. She’s skilled at handling their different personalities and needs whenever she cares for them. Ava is such a warm and friendly person with a genuine love for animals and caregiving. We always feel confident leaving our dogs in her care. Whether it's walks, drop ins, or just spending quality time with your pets, I couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for loving, reliable pet care!”
