About: What Sets Me Apart in Pet Sitting Services: ✅ Cat-Centric Experience – Many sitters focus on dogs, but I specialize in feline care. I understand cat behavior, body language, and how to build trust—even with shy or anxious cats. ✅ Personalized Attention – I don’t just “check in”—I engage. Each visit is tailored to your pet’s specific needs, routines, and personality. ✅ Reliable & Communicative – You’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I send consistent updates, photos, and even videos, so you stay connected while you’re away. ✅ Medication & Special Care Expertise – Comfortable administering oral medication, eye drops, or specialized care for senior or special-needs pets. ✅ Calm & Trustworthy Presence – Animals (especially cats!) respond best to calm energy and a gentle approach. I pride myself on being a steady, stress-free presence in your pet’s routine. ✅ Respect for Your Home – I treat your home with the same care and respect I give your pets—leaving it tidy, secure, and exactly as you left it. I currently work full time, 2 off days typically during the week. I can come early in the mornings before work to feed/let dogs out. Then in the afternoon I can come back walk dogs/play with pets and feed them. I do not offer care for pets in my house. I only offer pet sitting at a clients house. Let me know if you have any questions.
“100% pleased with the care Samantha provided to my anxious doggo this past weekend. Sam was very professional and sent me a lot of photos which I loved! I will definitely book with Sam again. 100% recommend her as a dog/house sitter. Thank you!”
About: I have been in the animal care business for the last 10 years. I personally have a very loved dog that I have cared for, for the last 11 years. On top of caring for my family’s pets over the last 16 years. I work full-time with several days working from home. I know how important an animals schedule is and would do everything to maintain that so the pet’s routine is not affected. My dog and kitten get everything the want and everything I think they need 🤣. Leaving your animal in the trust of me would guarantee that the things you want done for your family are completed. These can include walks, playing with certain toys, or the use of certain leashes or collars.
“She is the best! Wrigley was so well taken care of. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. Samantha stayed 5 days so he could remain I. His own environment. She followed his routine, sent me pictures a couple of times a day and loved him like her own. I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter.”
“Jenna stayed at my house for 7 days/6 nights. I am so glad to have found her!! She is so sweet and sent us pictures of our Maribelle every day while we were gone. Maribelle doesn't do well with staying outside of a home, so it was such a blessing to have someone come in and stay at our house with her and try to keep her in a similar routine as if we were there. It helped immensely for Maribelle's separation anxiety. She asked me a lot of questions beforehand about how we care for Maribelle and made me feel very comfortable to leave Maribelle in her care prior to her stay. Maribelle seemed to have such a great time!! She was exhausted when we got back :) And our house was just as we left it. I would definitely recommend to anyone in need of a dog sitter!!”
“Grants first introduction with my pups was wonderful. He very responsive, and easy to communicate with. I feel very comfortable knowing that we have someone we trust, and our boys enjoy. Couldn’t be more pleased. ?”
“Brittany was fantastic! She stayed 3 nights to watch our dog and cat and we came home to very happy fur babies. She kept us updated the entire time and sent lots of pics. Even did some light cleaning! We were very happy and relaxed being away.”
“Jackie did a great job house sitting and watching my cat, Penny. She is quick to reply to messages, sent photos every day, and left the apartment super clean! I would recommend her highly and will use her services again!!”
“I couldn't be happier with the wonderful care Tamara provided for our 11-month old Duchess! She is a Catahoula Leopard and we adopted her from a rescue back in February. She is shy around new people but, when Tamara came to our home for a meet and greet, Duchess went right up to her! Tamara is a true gem and, if you need someone to stay in your home with your pet, I highly recommend her.”
“David was very conscientious in caring for our 2 dogs. He kept us updated on how they were doing and sent pictures often. This was the first time we have ever used an in home sitter, but we would defuse David again. He even ran the dishwasher and took out our garbage and recycling, which we did not expect.”

Olivia A.
“I highly recommend Olivia as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Having grown up with a variety of pets—cats, dogs, ferrets, gerbils, and more—Olivia has always had a natural affinity for animals of all shapes and sizes. She's taken care of my pets on numerous occasions, always showing them love and attention. I’ve been impressed by how she documents her time with them on social media, whether they’re playing fetch, cuddling, or learning new commands like sit and heel. Olivia’s dedication and care are evident in everything she does, making her a fantastic choice for anyone in need of pet sitting, walking, or home tending services. Just a heads up, she’s not a fan of spiders—so perhaps someone else for that job!”
Whitney A.
“Whitney has provided exceptional care for our fur (and human) babies throughout the last several years. She has such a positive attitude and goes above and beyond to spoil them each and every visit. I cannot recommend her enough if you are looking for someone who will love your pets like her own.”

“I highly recommend Melissa for pet sitting and dog walking services on Rover! She took exceptional care of my Basset Hound, Snickers, while I was away from home. Melissa ensured Snickers had exercie with regular walks and fed on schedule. She also administered Snickers' medication with care and attention. Beyond the basics, Melissa provided Snickers with love, affection, and companionship, which made all the difference. It's clear that she truly cares about the animals she looks after. I was able to travel with peace of mind knowing Snickers was in such good hands. Thank you, Melissa, for going above and beyond!”
