“We couldn't be more thankful to have found Lauren and Ernest! Our 3 kitties can be a handful but they love both Lauren and Ernest and look forward to their visits while we are away. They're both very communicative, send great updates, and go above and beyond. This is our 3rd time working with them and they'll be out go to pet sitters every time we need one. Highly recommend!”
“Adriana is a great sitter!! My pups are always super happy when I come home after one of her visits. She takes the time to play with them, brush them, and let them run around outside after getting their lunch during the dropin visit. Her Rover cards are always very informative and full of pictures. She is very reliable and great at communicating when she's on her way or if she has questions. I will definitely continue to request visits for my pups from her.”
“Renee was great! Our little pup was enthralled with her immediately and was a happy little camper when we got back. She was prompt, courteous and very pleasant for us. Used her while on vacation in the area. I would recommend Renee for you any time. Thank you Renee!”
“Siyun is a great sitter. We needed someone to let our dog out in the afternoon since we work long hours. She always sends pictures and answers messages very quickly. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Siyun!”
“Morgan is really good with my dogs, she was on time for their drop in visits and she played the entire time with them. She dried off the wet pups before letting them into the house which was appreciated. I will be rebooking with her!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our dogs. From the moment we met, it was clear they had a natural connection with animals. She is gentle, attentive, and incredibly patient. Will definitely book again with Liz :)”
“We are so lucky to found Brittany! Her and her daughter took such great care of our cat. We appreciated the detailed updates and lots of photos/videos. In addition to proving our cat with such great attention, his food and potty area were cleaned. We had such a worry free vacation. We highly recommend her to sit your fur baby, no doubt!!!”
“I highly recommend Mandi B. for high maintenance kitties. I have to keep my two separated and she had to enter via two separate doors to access each. One is quite feral but seemed to have warmed up quickly to her. The other, what I call my thoroughbred Bengal, I'm sure was quite vocal about her visits and wanting some time! I had pictures daily. If there where any issues she immediately brought them to my attention. If Mandi B.'s schedule conflicted she communicated this to me quickly and we came to an agreement on what worked best for all. Including Mandi B. Life happens and it's important to be flex if we can. Very Pleased. Very Happy. Peace of Mind our babes are being taken care of is EVERYTHING to me. Thank you Mandi B.! Jennifer guardian of Ms Gloria and Khalissi”
“Simply stated, Lacey has been Consistently Fabulous - in every aspect I can think of! I'm new to the area so was anxious about trying to find a trustworthy cat sitter, but Lacey has proven to be the 'bestest' find. My little three-legged kitty, who is typically shy and cautious, decidedly loves her "Lacey time", which is filled with adoring care and cuddles, not to mention the play activities and treats! Lacey goes above and beyond to learn everything needed about how to make these care visits as special and successful as they should be. Thank you, Lacey!”
About: I'm excited to walk, drop in, and sit with your dog. All my life I have had a dog or two and simply cannot imagine life without a dog by my side. I have taken care of dogs for family and friends for years, and love doing it. I help take care of my grandchildren part time, which will allow me to help with your dog. I am not currently working, so am available during the days and always willing to help out on weekends as well. Whether walking your dog, dropping in for visits, or sitting I will love your dog like they are my own. Following your instructions very carefully to assure you that your dog is well cared for.
About: I have a special understanding of animals. I can read their needs and body language well. I love taking care of them and getting to spend my time with cute furry creatures I go to school part time (30 hours a week). I have an abundance of energy and love to give to pets. I am a fit person who loves to go on walks and play with animals. I am able to crate an animal if needed. I will provide companionship and fun when playing with your pet. I am great at following instructions and being respectful of other people’s property.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes my whole life and although I don’t have any of my own, I have many years of experience taking care of pets of all energy levels. I follow directions well and can provide the appropriate amount of attention for pets with special needs and/or requirement as well. Currently I am a part-time college student and caregiver for my younger sibling, although this may seem time restricting this allows me to plan out my schedule and can be flexible whenever and wherever. I am a very neat and tidy person, so house upkeep is one of my number one priorities aside from taking care of your pets. On top of that, I have plenty of of experience dealing with dogs of all ages and can accommodate accordingly.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for 5 years. Now I have corgi mix who is adopted from a rescue organization. I like to take care of him and he is just a little person in our family. I am currently working as full time. My schedule is very stable for your pups. Tuesday to Friday after 6.00 pm and I’m available all day Saturdays through Mondays. Pets in my home will hang out in the backyard and they can go wherever they want in the house. My home is located at a dead end community with all the nice neighbors.
About: I've been lucky enough to have dogs my entire life ranging from puppies to full grown rescues. In adulthood, I've raised 3 dogs from 8 weeks old and additionally taken on two separate rescue dogs that we've loved the remainder of their lives. I have done training classes and 1-1 sessions with two dogs and carry the basics of training with me at all times. My last dog had severe medical issues at the end of his life including paralyzation in his hind end requiring 24/7 care and mobility assistance. This included hand feeding, diapers, and wheelchair training. While I wouldn't consider my experience as an expertise in any way, I have always been committed to prioritizing my animals needs and doing whatever needs to be done. I've also always had cats and still have one now that I was able to rescue as a kitten from the much acclaimed "Cat Distribution System" (finally got to my turn!). Currently, I have a 4.5 year old Chocolate Lab/Chesapeake Retriever mix, a 2 year old Golden Retriever, and an 11 year old Tuxedo cat. All of whom are the loves of my life. I currently do contract, WFH roles so am seeking opportunties throughout the week to get out, engage with your animals, and make sure they've got what the need while you're away. I am happy to follow any instructions you have for keeping your pets safe as I enter, care for, walk, or leave your fur babies. Having had multiple pets of my own - I understand there are complexities and specific ways your animals are used to things being done. I am ready and able to follow whatever instructions you have for them!

She worked with one of her dogs (a yellow lab) with elderly residents of our father’s assisted living home. She has adopted several dogs. Joanne has done dog setting for my family dogs over the years, always providing excellent care, love, and updates. She dogsits for many other friends and family.

“Taylor loves and cares for all animals as if they were their own. They have so much love to share with animals and humans alike. Every time they see a stray they just wanna take it home and give them a loving home. I trust them with my fur babies because I know they love them as much as I do.”
Ethan N.
“Ethan has watched my 4 dogs several times and has always cared for them as if they were his own pets. My dogs love when he comes for a visit as they know they will have plenty of play time followed by cuddle time on the couch. He sends regular updates of the dogs with pictures so I can see how comfortable they are around him when I'm away. Ethan stays in the home overnight sometimes while I'm away to watch my dogs and he always takes care of my home, too. Ethan is a very caring person and that is shown by how well he treats me and my dogs. I highly recommend Ethan for your dog/house sitting needs.”
