“Emily took great care of our 3 cats while we were on vacation. She was a great communicator and we loved the daily updates/photos she sent. She was even able to get our grumpiest cat to come out of hiding under the bed - she is definitely a great cat whisperer! We will be requesting her again when we are away!”
“Kara came every day at the time that I had planned. She took care of my cats making sure they had food water and clean litter. She even took the time to play with one of them. I got plenty of pictures so I knew how they were doing. I would definitely use her again.”
“Regan is a wonderful pet sitter. He did drop in visits for us and was great at communicating with us and giving us updates. He took great care of our rabbit and everything was so clean when we got home. He took in our mail which was totally above and beyond. Absolutely booking with Regan again.”
“I’ve booked with Erin a few times now and she has been great. She’s consistent, very communicative, and most importantly great with my cats. This time I even had construction going on at the house and she was very accommodating with working around them and their schedule.”
About: Hi! Hablo inglés y español. I work part time and spend the rest of the time adventuring with my toddler. I'm looking to spend time with and care for dogs, and as a former dog owner I know how hard it can be to find a good sitter. After I spent 3 years caring for a dog with a chronic illness, I am accustomed to all sorts of needs and am happy to accommodate them. I have also lived with and cared for a senior dog and I can work with dogs of all ages. I will only take one dog at a time, unless they are from the same family. I have a small yard and good neighborhood for walks, so can be active with your dog or let them spend the day sitting on my lap! Let me know if you have any questions! I work part time in the community. Since I make my own schedule, I can be flexible to accommodate your dog’s needs! My toddler also loves dogs. I have a yard and a home with plenty of space for dogs to roam. Dogs will be monitored at all times and all medicines, cleaning supplies, etc. are safely stored. If your dog uses a crate, that is also welcome but not necessary. I will only take one dog at a time.
“Beth did an amazing job sitting our cat for three days! She was responsive and reliable, and we could tell when we got home that our cat had been doing well! We truly appreciate her care and will definitely book her again!”
“Kristine was so great with my cat Sushi! She helped him with his electronic water bowl that fell over and was very sweet to him. Thank you so much and will ask again in the future! :)”

About: I have had dogs my entire life! I live in an area where there are trails to take walks on and a dog park to play at! My goal is to make sure that your pet is loved and taken care of during your time away from them! I work at a full time job, but I am off at a decent time and have plenty of time during the weekends to play, walk, and take care of your fur baby! I make sure that I get up in time to make sure that I can give about 30 minutes of play before work and that they are fed in a timely manner.

About: Hi, I’m Sherman. I provide dependable walking and sitting services for both dogs and cats, with experience handling pets of all temperaments—including reactive dogs and shy or anxious cats. I focus on calm, consistent care tailored to each animal’s needs, whether it’s daily exercise, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. Pet owners can count on clear communication, punctuality, and a respectful, low-stress approach to in-home care. I’m currently on summer break and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pets plenty of time and attention throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening visits, and I’m committed to providing consistent care I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Services include feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, and playtime. I follow your routine closely and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I have dedicated my life and career to caring for dogs. I started dog sitting at 12 years old. I have cared for dogs from months old to fifteen years old. I have been certified as a basic obedience trainer, interned at a dog training company participating in classes from puppy to agility, and I have worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I have experience giving dogs oral medication, but I have not done any injection medications. I am looking to make this my full time job. I do have one dog of my own to care for, but other than him, my schedule is completely open to caring for your pets. I live in an apartment with a park right next to it, perfect for walking my dog and yours. I have one friendly male dog who believes all dogs want to be his best friend. He has toys littering the floor available for anyone to play with, and he has never had resource guarding behavior; if your dog has the toy he will just watch and wait his turn, or try to get another toy they can both play with. I have trained him with positive reinforcement techniques, meaning there are plenty of treats around for the good boys and girls. He is allowed on all furniture and has the choice to sleep in the human bed, which means your pup will have the same privileges. When I go to a clients home I will follow their rules to the letter. I walk their dogs before feeding or keep the pets off the furniture if that’s what they want. I want to apply the same rules to your pets when you’re out of the house so they don’t start showing any unwanted behavior.

Whitney & Nathan F.
“Is there such thing as too pet friendly? If so, Nathan and Whitney fit that category. They have watched our dog and treated him as if he were their own on multiple occasions. Their dog, Stanley, gets along great with him and provides for great companionship. Their backyard has so much space for the dogs to run around and play together—bonus is that it’s fenced! I was also surprised at the photos I received of their cat (Morty) and my dog, Crosby! He is just as friendly with the guests as Stanley is. 10/10 recommend Whitney and Nathan. They provide many pictures and videos and continue to create the ultimate rover experience. I plan to book with them from here on out when needed!”
