“Blake is excellent! Her reviews were very informative and humorous and she sent the cutest pictures of my cat! It was nice to know that I could totally trust Blake and made my being away much easier. Thanks so much!”


“Savannah never fails to ease my anxiety. Tons of updates, photos, and let me know that my sprinkler system was malfunctioning while I was gone and kept that on track so my grass didn’t die. Truly, I don’t know what I would have done without her!!”



“I was very happy with Jennifer's service. She stopped by my house twice a day for 30 minutes to let my dogs out. Everything went according to plan and I look forward to hiring Jennifer next time I need a dog sitter. Thanks”


About: With nine years of dedicated pet‑sitting experience, from raising puppies and owning pets my whole life, working at a stable, to working in a vet office, I’ve cared for a wide variety of beloved companions—horses, dogs, cats, and even parrots! I bring a personal approach and professional skill set to every job and try to treat each animal like my own. What Sets Me Apart- Reliable communication: I send frequent photo and video updates so owners can relax knowing everything's going smoothly. Home-away-from-home care: My goal is to replicate each pet’s normal environment—whether that’s the pasture, living room, or aviary—so they feel at ease in your absence. I’d love to chat about how I can provide compassionate, professional care for your furry or feathered family members. Feel free to ask about my routines, special animal skills, or typical day—you’ll know your pets are in great hands! I work from home and have a pretty open-flexible schedule. When I agree to a job, I make sure my life goes around your animals as much as I can. We have a fenced yard and dog pen in the yard as well. We have a loving, 2 year old Aussie that would love to play with your friend or I can crate either your pet or mine if needed. If I am coming to your home for check-ins or walks, I try to make your pet feel comfortable and loved on in your absence.

“Awesome sitters! They even checked to make sure we made it home as well. Took great care of our two dogs while we were out of town. We'll definitely be booking again in the future!”


About: I've been taking care of my family’s and neighbors' dogs since I was 12 years old, and over the years I’ve looked after dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just providing company, I always make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to giving them the attention they deserve. I’m patient, reliable, and always aim to follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable. I’m also looking to grow my experience further, and I’m excited to care for even more amazing pets along the way. I’m going into my first year of college, and all my classes are online, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. Since I can study from anywhere and adjust my hours, I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week and weekends. This flexibility allows me to give your pet consistent attention, whether it's for regular walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m dependable, organized, and always make sure your pet’s routine is followed with care and love. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I follow all instructions carefully—feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, or any house rules—to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their familiar environment. At my home, I have a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for playtime and fresh air while keeping your pet safe and secure. I make sure pets are never left unattended outside and always supervise them during outdoor time. Inside, I provide a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly space where they can rest, play, and feel at home. I treat every pet like family and always keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

“Kaylie Was absolutely perfect and wonderful helping me with my boys Atticus and Demetrius during my move. I was able to concentrate on what I needed to do knowing that she was there to care for my boys. Thank you so much Kaylie for looking after my boys. 👍👍”


“Christy is amazing. She arrived on time, shared pictures at every visit. She was compassionate with our senior dog, feeding her by hand to ensure she ate. Christy played with our more active dog, making sure he spent some energy. For the first time using Rover we could not have had a better experience. Christy, thank you so very much for tending our babies as we would.”


About: I have been around dogs my entire life, but have only owned my own two dogs from the age of 17. My dad has always worked in veterinary care and so I feel that I grew up with a lot more knowledge and “tools on my belt” than the average Joe. I have experience and am comfortable with lots of breeds. I have raised my dogs from puppies into seniors now. One of my dogs has idiopathic epilepsy, so I am comfortable around seizures. I am comfortable with dogs post surgery and comfortable medicating dogs as well. I feel very equipped to take care you your fur babies. I get off work M-F at 11:30am. I can swing by and take care of your animals on my way home for the day. I won’t feel in any type of rush, as my work day is already over. I walk my dogs in a heel position with gentle leaders. I do not use a retractable leash and I let the dogs get in as many sniffies as they want to on walks. I pick up after my own dogs with doggy poop bags and will do so with yours as well.

About: I’ve been a pet owner my entire life, and currently own two, high energy, pups. I come packed with love and patience for your fur baby. I have a calm demeanor, but bring the fun, and will treat your pet with the respect and kindness you’d hope for. I work from home and make my own schedule. If I’m house sitting, I will be available for your pet the entire time. I do have scattered meeting throughout the day, and will work around my schedule. I give my dogs two walks a day. I can fit yours in at those times, or the times that work best for you. If I’m house sitting, I will stick to your dog’s schedule.

About: *UNDER CONSTRUCTION* My dog could write a much better and more honest review but he lacks thumbs. Instead I'll just say if you ever have the fortune of meeting him you'll see how much I love doing this and making every day the best i can for him. Been walking my own and other people's dogs all my life just for the love of the game! I am familiar and comfortable with all breeds and most personality types. Almost anything from good long walks or adventures and pet sitting while you're away to simple little check-ins and potty breaks are fine with me. Im flexible patient and consistent and your dogs will thank you I promise! (after they're done napping) I am currently living nomadically as a way to take my dog Bucky on his retirement journey of sorts. He DOES NOT have to participate in any tasks you hire me for but you can always opt in to that for free. **Please note that I cannot exclude my dog for over night stays at your location. Only walks and check-ins ect. My current nomadic lifestyle is very much to your benefit, as it gives me a flexible schedule and the time and ability to focus on what you and your pets need. If you need a pet sitter for overnight or long-term care but aren't sure about having someone live in your home, that's fine! I just find a place to park. I am genuinely signed up for this because I would love to do it. All of it. Help me with Bucky's retirement journey by letting me help you take good care of your pets!

About: I have many years of experience with pet care. I have cared for my own pets since I was young, but in high school, I became the resident neighborhood petsitter/ dogwalker. I have always loved animals and have been missing my own since moving to college. I am a senior at UNCO and I would love to steal some stand-in affection from your furry friends! I am taking online courses this summer so I can hang with your pals for however long you would like, as I will have nothing else scheduled! I will be respectful to your space, and your pets while I have access to your home. I will be extremely attentive to your animals' needs and communicative. I know that trusting a stranger to care for your pets is nerve-wracking, and I will prove to you that I am up for the task!

“Christina is a very sweet and caring sitter. She took care of my cats for two weeks and kept me updated every visit. She is very honest and I would recommend her for future clients.”


About: Hi! I am learning how to train dogs. 🐕Currently, I am taking a course on training where I’m learning about dog body language and cues. 🐩My plan is to eventually start a dog camp where I train and socialize dogs off leash to give them friendship with other dogs and adventure. 🐩If you’re interested, please let me know. Otherwise, I’d also love to walk your dog separately and sit for them while you’re away.😆 I am focusing all of my time on dogs right now, so I’m very much available for whatever you and your pup need. Please let me know if you’re interested in regular walking or check-ins during the day. Since I have plenty of time, I can walk your dog, play with them in your yard and cuddle them on your couch. 😌I am comfortable with more than one dog as well.

“Raquel was fantastic with my two cats! She came to the house twice a day as we agreed, and she sent at least one photo from each visit. When I came home, the house was maybe a little neater than I left it, and my cats were happy. I will definitely use Raquel again when I go out of town.”

Elly S.
“We can’t say enough great things about Elly! She recently cared for our three Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and from start to finish, the experience was flawless. Elly was professional, warm, and clearly passionate about dogs. She took the time to get to know each of our Cavaliers—their routines, quirks, and personalities—and she treated them with the same love and attention we give them at home. Elly kept us updated daily with photos and messages, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear they were relaxed, happy, and completely at ease in her care. When we returned, the pups were calm and content, and our home was spotless—Elly went above and beyond in every way. Her reliability, communication, and genuine affection for our dogs set her apart. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your beloved pets, but Elly exceeded all expectations. We’re so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book her again. Thank you, Elly! — Tim & Bennie Jo”

Hailee H.
“Hailee is truly wonderful! She took care of our dog, Luna, and our two cats while we were out of town, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met her, she was warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive. She took the time to get to know each of our pets and made sure they felt comfortable and loved while we were away. It was clear how much she genuinely cares for animals, and that gave us so much peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be reaching out to her again!”


Melissa M.
“Melissa is obsessed with her dogs in the best way! She takes them on multiple walks per day. She thought me only taking my dog out twice a day was not enough times (it's plenty for my dog lol). She spends more time with them than anyone else. She understands them and their feelings. Leave her alone with dogs for too long and she will create a whole new language only she and the animals know and understand. I wish I was exaggerating on that one. You will literally never meet someone more obsessed with dogs in my opinion.”

Khloe T.
“Khloe is caring and attentive to our fur babies. She gives them frequent walks which they love almost as much as her belly rubs. Our fur babies are family to us and to leave them in Khloe's care gives us one less thing to be anxious about and we can enjoy our away time.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Taylor is amazing! She’s been walking my two senior dogs for over a year now, and I honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better. She’s always punctual, incredibly loving, and has such a gentle, caring way with them. I’m pretty sure my dogs get more excited to see her than they do to see me! Knowing they’re in such good hands brings me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t recommend her more Taylor is truly one of a kind!”
