About: As a dog lover I bring gentle loving care to all dog friends! I can also work on training and exercise with high energy dogs. I volunteer with a local animal rescue and have fostered shelter dogs in the past. I work remotely Monday & Friday so I’m able to provide adequate walking, interaction and attention. I’m active and can provide all levels of exercise and play. This includes walking, running, potty breaks, indoor enrichment with puzzles, lick mats and toys. I simply enjoy being around dogs and will provide extra care such as brushing and cuddles. I treat any pet entering my home as my own and extend that same love and attention to them. I prioritize their needs as well as their owners to ensure everyone is comfortable with the experience and to give my new dog friend a vacation while their owner is away! Dog sitting is just as exciting for me as it can be for a dog getting to meet new people and do fun things!
“Nina provides top notch care! She went out of her way to do a meet and greet, was very thorough and ensured that my Lacey had the best care. I will 100% be booking with her in the future.”
“We just got our puppy and had to leave for a wedding so we decided to book with Rover. Savannah was great with our puppy and made sure he received love throughout the day!”

“While I didn’t actually get to meet Edmond and Nafis, they were very easy and pleasant to work with. They were also accommodating when my trip got unexpectedly extended. I got detailed summaries of each visit and lots of pictures which always puts my mind at ease! I will definitely be booking them again in the future.”


“Andrea was fantastic with my cat Whiskey. Andrea is responsible, responsive, and really paid attention to my cat’s needs. I would highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a pet sitter. In fact, I plan to rebook next time I need someone to look after Whiskey.”


“This was our first visit away from our kitten, Nico, and I was incredibly nervous. However, Kayli took excellent care of our guy. She was incredibly communicative, gave Nico very well rounded visits (lots of snuggles, all of his favorite toys, etc.), and made sure to ask all of the right questions before our trip began. We will definitely be booking her again, Nico will miss her!”

“Emily is a wonderful cat sitter, and went above and beyond for my cat on relatively short notice. In addition to the usual timely visits and communication, Emily went out of her way to disable a broken smoke detector that was causing stress for my cat. I would recommend Emily to any cat owner in need of drop in visits.”

“Janelle is a wonderful and dedicated sitter! She helped with administering medicine to our rather anxious orange cat while we were away and always found his hiding spots.”


About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 8. I attended dog training classes and showed dogs in 4-H. Friends and family have frequently retained my services to care for their pets while they are away. I do work full time and am away from my apartment from 9-5 during the week. However, I am consistently home during the evenings and weekends to take the dog for a walk and ensure they get the socialization they need. My apartment complex is secure and monitored by a 24-concierge service. The apartment also has a fenced courtyard and dog park. Can provide crating service upon request.

“Jordan did a wonderful job taking care of our cat and also took great pictures! Our cat seemed very happy when we got back. I'll definitely rely on her again the next time we go on a trip.”

“Mikela was very personable and very communicative when we did our virtual meet and greet. Our kitty is very old and needed some extra care and she was very understanding and helpful about it. We were away with no service except for emergencies/ rare service spots so when we were able to check in she was very fast with responding and giving us updates. We super appreciated her and her attention to detail and how well our little old lady was cared for. We would absolutely book her again. Thank you Mikela!”

“Erica was great with our cat. She was very responsive and helpful. She went above and beyond, e.g. by also bringing the mail inside and stopping by for an additional, next-day visit. Would definitely recommend her and work with her again. Thank you, Erica!”

Elise is amazing! I rebooked her to watch my cats while on a trip and I felt so much better knowing she was checking on them. I have two cats and am fostering a third (pretty feral) and she was so great about that situation. She takes the absolute best photos of them and is super communicative. I highly recommend Elise for your cat sitting needs :)
