“Dee was a fantastic communicator and her Rover Cards were perfectly detailed. She was gentle, kind, funny, and efficient, and I would absolutely book her again!!”
“Monica was amazing! it was such a relief to leave our cats in her care. She was thorough and communicative . We would absolutely use her again! Thank you, Monica!”
“Augusta was absolutely wonderful while watching our three cats during a recent trip to Nashville. She went above and beyond in every way—cleaning up spilled litter and food without being asked, and taking such great care of our babies. We loved the consistent daily updates with adorable photos and videos that truly put our minds at ease while we were away. Augusta followed every instruction perfectly and made sure each cat was comfortable and cared for. We could tell she genuinely loves animals, and we are so grateful for the kindness and attention she gave to our fur family. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, detail-oriented sitter! She is our new go-to sitter, hands down! ❤️”
“Keerie was so nice and helpful! She took pictures of not only our cats, but the food and water and litter to show us how that was going as well. It gave us an ease of mind that our cats were treated with great care. Our cats took to her immediately and popped out for pictures and pets! Will book again!”
“Laura was amazing! I had no worries at all leaving my cats in her care. My cats are pretty skittish, but they warmed up to her so quickly. I could tell they really liked her from the photos she sent me. I will absolutely rebook with her! 🐾❤️”

About: As a former foster parent for dogs, I’ve cared for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and love. I know how to read their body language, build trust, and provide a calm, comforting space. Whether your dog needs playful enrichment, gentle medication, or just lots of snuggles, I tailor my care to their unique needs. I treat every dog like family because to me, they truly are. I am also willing to help monitor and care for cats, and other small in-home animals, such as hamsters. If you have any of these pets that will need tended to please let me know during your booking. Bonus: I’m experienced with crate training, leash manners, and helping shy or anxious pups feel safe. Your dog will be in loving, capable hands! Please see my attached schedule within the photos for time frames I am available for your baby! If you have any questions about my availability or schedule, don't hesitate to reach out! At my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I create a safe, cozy, and low-stress environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, play, and any special instructions you provide. Because of my experience as a foster parent, I’m very mindful of each dog’s personality and comfort level. Whether they need extra playtime, space to decompress, or just a lot of love, I adjust my care to fit their needs. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space and routines while keeping communication open. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being always come first—no matter where they are.
“Morgan is a wonderful care giver. She kept me informed at all times with messages and pictures. She definitely has my Diesels approval🙂 Book with Morgan. I promise you won’t be disappointed!”
About: I love Gods creatures, great and small. I am a lover of unconditional 4 legged of love! I will treat your fur family as if they were my own- unconditionally and with care! I do work a part time job, but officially retired, I love to walk, I look forward to being motivated and sharing the joy of it! I have flexibility and mobility. I can also stay in your pets comfortable environment, to make sure they have comfort and care well with them. I would favor allowing your fur family to remain in their comfortable environment rather than stressing them in my home. I am available to come to serve you and them.
About: Growing up with dogs as a part of the family I have taken care of them my whole life. When I was 15 my family brought home a new puppy and I didn’t have a summer job, so she was my responsibility. Over the years I have taken care of dogs of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pups that need a little more love and understanding. I have administered medications and eye drops with ease and few trick up my sleeves. I enjoy having training sessions with the dogs and even teaching them a new trick while their family is away. This helps give them something to focus on and encourages bonding between us. I would be honored to take care of your furry family member while you’re away. I'm currently working part time and would love to help out your family while I have the time. While in my current status I can do more walks, potty breaks as needed. Potty break is the first and foremost needed when I arrive at a client's home. Then a walk, a little time for some training and a little bit of play as well. It's just as important they have some mental stimulation.
“Sarah was great! She made it so easy and worry free for us to go away for the weekend and leave our two kitties at home with someone trustworthy and kind to animals. She was on time and sent cute pics to keep us in the loop. I also appreciate that we were able to book her at the last minute! We will be booking her again!”
“Abby was great at taking care of my two cats! Her updates were thorough and she had no issues with meeting the needs of my cats. I will use her again in the future for sure!”
About: Hi! my name is Chloe, I’m a paralegal and I love animals. I have a lot of experience with being a caregiver for pets. My uncle previously was a breeder and he would have my sister and I take care of the puppies during his work days. I also have experience with caring for others pets and have completed many services through Wag. Now that summer is approaching, i am ready to fill my evenings and weekends with animals. I will have more availablity as the summer goes on. Depending on any service, I usually read the owners notes to care for the pet during the time asked to do so. I’ve previously used Wag and when I complete the services I communicate a lot with the pet parents throughout the time letting them know what I’ve done, etc.
About: I worked for a veterinary clinic as a kennel attendant which included duties such as: bathing, feeding, day care, safe restraint practices, oral medication administration, cleaning, and walking. I also have two cats of my own - Willa and Peaches! Peaches is a cat with medical needs and is currently in remission for a 90 day treatment! I work as a science teacher and am contracted weekdays from 7am - 4pm and will always check that I am able to give reliable and consistent care before accepting a reservation. I will always take photos of play, feeding, medication (if needed), and any other requests to ensure that you are confident in their care and that they are happy and healthy.

Kylie B.
“I can’t recommend Kylie enough as a pet sitter! From the moment we met, her genuine love for animals was clear. She took the time to get to know my Louies personality, routine, and quirks—and treated him like her own. Whether it was daily walks, playtime, or just cuddles on the couch, I knew my pup was in great hands. Kylie is responsible, attentive, and always goes the extra mile. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she not only has experience, but also a true gift for working with pets. I’m so grateful to have found her, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my fur baby!”

“Missy is truly a pet lover and absolutely a dog whisperer! My dog and I are besties but whenn my dog sees me and Missy together, my dog runs immediately to Missy. She just has a heart for caring for others and especially animals and they sense that about her. You couldn't find a better pet sitter because she'll threat your pets as if they are her own.”
Rebecca R.Star Sitter
“I was nervous to have someone else handle my ~90lb pup that gets really excited to see humans and likes to jump up and kiss their face. He also pulls the leash if he sees other dogs/large trucks. We had Rebecca over for a meet and greet, and went over his commands/routine. Rebecca was a gem and a champ handling him. I was able to go out of town without worry and she sent pic updates which were really sweet. I'm excited to go out of town again at some point just to have her over so my dog can visit with her! Thank you Rebecca!”

Chloe A.
“Chloe is amazing at caring for herself and her pets, and is so gentle with other's pets. She is a pet lover through and through and spoils every pet she comes across with as much as she can. When she first met my cat, I warned her he didn't like strangers and would probably run away as soon as he sniffed her. Instead, he warmed right up to her. Chloe is also great at managing stressful situations and has been there for me countless times. She makes sure she has everything figured out and a solution for any situation that can go awry. She is a problem-solver, fierce, and full of love. I believe that she's great for taking care of your pets 100%!!”
Lillian W.
“She showed Kitty lots of love!”
