“Lauren did a great job of watching our 2 cats while we were away! One is very shy, and the other is very particular, but Lauren did a great job letting them have their space while also making sure they had food, treats, water, etc. and sending me updates/pics each visit. Our previous rover we have used a couple times before was unavailable so we booked Lauren for the first time fairly last minute, which included visits over the Christmas holiday, so we really appreciated her accommodation. We came home to the apartment looking just as we left it. The cats are both happy for us to be back but seemed to have been well taken care of while we were away. I’d happily book Lauren again next time we need a cat sitter!”


“Maggie was great!! She came to check on our two cats while we were on vacation for a week and gave me such peace of mind- and pictures!! Absolutely fantastic experience :)”


“Kelsey was great! I was completely at ease knowing my pups got lots of cuddles and walks while we were away. Will be booking again in the future. :)”


“Thanks for your help on such short notice.”


“We (both the humans and the cats) love Mary! She has watched our 2 cats a few times now and they have now both warmed up to her and seem comfortable with her, which is rare for them!! We always feel secure leaving them in Mary’s hands when we are away, and know we will return to happy kitties 💗”


“Misty was so understanding with our last minute call for help, showed up on time, took great care of our Roxie a 60 pound dog full of energy. Roxie even brought her toy for Misty the net time she came to dog sit. Very loving and very accommodating. Thank you MIsty”


“Sarah was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat! She communicated well and sent pictures and a message every day we were gone on vacation. She was very responsive to text messages. Our shy cat even came out of hiding most days she came over to take care of her. I highly recommend booking Sarah for your pet care.”


“Faith took great care of our kitties while we were on vacation and even made friends with our super-skittish one. It was hard to leave them for so long, but she communicated daily and included cute snaps of our babies. We will definitely be relying on her in the future!”


About: What sets me apart is my deep-rooted passion for dogs, backed by multiple years of hands-on training experience. As an ABC (Animal Behavior College) graduate, I offer expertise that ensures top-notch care. My lifelong journey with dogs makes me both knowledgeable and naturally attuned to their needs. I blend professionalism with an easy-going demeanor, making your pup feel comfortable and loved. Your furry family members deserve the best, and I’m here to provide it! I am a working dog trainer. I am available Friday-Sunday from 12:00 am to 8:00 pm, with ample time to dedicate to your pups. I provide a nurturing and safe space for them, filled with engaging activities and loving care. I prioritize creating a safe and trustworthy environment for every pet I care for by thoroughly understanding each dog’s special restrictions. I ensure tailored care during walks or visits and I consistently maintain awareness of our surroundings. I do this by choosing secure paths and following any specific guidelines provided to guarantee their safety and happiness.

“My cat liked her well enough”


About: While I’m still gaining hands-on experience, my love for dogs runs deep—and nothing makes my evening walks better than having a furry companion by my side! I’ve dog-sat a couple of times and have experience walking pups, including some that were a bit reactive (though I prefer calmer dogs now). I’m patient, attentive, and always prioritize a pet’s comfort and safety. Whether it’s a peaceful stroll at sunset or a rigorous walk to get some energy out, I’ll treat your dog like family. I’m currently working full time, however I walk almost every evening, I’m willing to travel a bit to ensure your dog gets the walk they need! I’m available Sunday afternoons as well, and the occasional weekend:) I’m willing to travel to walk your dog, and will ensure safety during the walk. For more energetic dogs I can keep a fast pace, and for more curious dogs I can take my time and let them explore the route we take. Dog safety is a top concern!

About: I love all types of animals. I have experience in rabbits, cats & dogs. My family has always had animals, it’s a second nature to me. I am currently unemployed but looking for part time work. I would love to pick up pet sitting opportunities as much as possible. I have a free and open schedule. I do not offer pet services in my home but at the clients home I am more than willing to crate animals or let them out into a fenced in yard to watch them. I am good with rewarding with treats, having play time, picking up poop, cleaning, etc. I am fully capable of the responsibility it takes to care and build trust with animals.

About: I have taken care of puppies and senior dogs and all different kinds of breeds! I love all dogs and work with kindness and patience! In the summers I'm pretty free so it just comes down to my schedule with other sitting commitments! I'm pretty flexible so whatever the animals need I try to do! I go by the book! Whatever the pet-parents do and require for their animals is what I do! I am patient and kind and respectful!

“Above and beyond!! Kari was awesome! She even cleaned up after my little trouble maker! So thankful!”


About: I have dog sat for multiple friends and family. I have also worked at a doggy daycare where I learned how to keep multiple dogs safe and happy. I am currently working part time at another job but in my free time I will also be doing this to make a little more money, while having fun and being active. In my home I keep pets comfortable while also making sure they get everything they need including food/water/meds. There is also multiple dog parks next to my house I can take them to or just play with them outside my house. In a clients home I will do a lot of the same stuff plus any instructions given to me making sure everyone is comfortable in any situation.

“Monique was willing to do a couple of drop ins after I messaged her last minute, and was able to drop in during the middle of the day, which I was ecstatic for. My pups fell in love with her almost instantly. She kept them busy for the length of the drop in, and they were exhausted that night. We’ll be using Monique again.”

Jessica M.
“Jessica has the 'gift' with dogs. She goes out of her way to care for dogs that do not belong to her with love and compassion. She can take control of high stress situations by being firm but calm. I trust her with any animal I have or any animals belonging to my family.”
