“Kevin did an incredible job caring for our crazy, needy, and reactive dogs who need lots of structure and attention. Our house was in even better shape than we left it as he did dishes and laundry and left our house very nice and orderly. Kevin was super quick to respond and spent his valuable time coming over for a meet and greet before our trip to ensure our pups were comfortable with him. I definitely recommend him and will certainly be requesting that he house sit for future trips!”


“Kaitlyn did well with our 2 dogs for our 3 night trip. This was our first time using Rover and we were a bit nervous as our dogs can be a little high maintenance (high energy levels and early wake up times). She was responsive to my messages, asked appropriate questions and sent us daily updates with pictures. She administered oral medications with dinner for our girl who needs them. We came home to 2 happy dogs that got to stay in their environment and a clean house. We will use Kaitlyn again in the future if we travel someplace we can’t take the dogs.”


“Rylee recently stayed overnight with our rambunctious Aussie! She was wonderful! Prompt, great communication and most importantly Finn approved. We will definitely be looking to Rylee for future sits.”


About: I have been taking care of animals since I was young, from kittens to horses! Big pups with loud voices are no problem at all and I will take care of pets any shape or size (bird, cat, dog, etc.) And l understand the incredible value of a reliable person to watch your pets while you’re away. Animals I’ve cared for: Great Danes; Cats/Kittens; Rottweilers; Doberman; Birds; Dachshunds; German Shepherd; Pitbull, etc. I am currently part-time so my schedule is open to suit your pet sitting wishes. Weekend or weekday. However, I will require two to three weeks notice for bookings so that my schedule is clear. Aside from that, I can do anything from drop-ins for potty breaks and furry companionship to overnight stays. I currently own two little daschunds! They have regular feeding and potty schedules (which is very often for little bladders.) And lots of play time since they have so much energy! From previous dogsitting experience: I easily keep to pets feeding and bathroom schedule, as well as refilling and cleaning water bowls and administering medicine depending on the pets needs. Even play time! I want to stress how I find it important that they keep their routines so your animals feel worry free while their parents are away!

“Sydney does such a great job for us! The pets all love her, even our skittish kitty. She also leaves the house looking better than she left it and is so pleasant to work with! She'll definitely take great care of anyone's home and pets. :)”


About: I've owned dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a true passion. What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities—from affectionate Golden Retrievers and gentle Great Pyrenees to spunky Dachshunds and high-energy Pit Bulls. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs. I have experience with basic training, including leash skills and potty training for puppies, and I’m also confident caring for senior dogs, including administering medication and adjusting routines to keep them comfortable. I treat every dog like family and always prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being. I work full-time, but I’m available for morning visits and anytime after 3 PM on weekdays. I also have flexibility on weekends for walks, check-ins, or extended care. Plus, I regularly get work-from-home days, which opens up my availability during the day for more flexible scheduling. I always make sure each pet gets the attention and time they deserve. I primarily care for pets in my clients' homes, which helps keep them comfortable and relaxed in a familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles, and I always make sure to keep their space clean and safe. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs, so they feel secure and loved while their owners are away. If a pet does come to my home for a visit, I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. My home is pet-friendly (I do have a golden retriever) and I treat every animal like part of the family—whether I'm visiting them or welcoming them into my space.

“Katherine was incredible! This was the first time ever leaving our pup, Remy, and Katherine kept us at ease. She was thorough, responsive, and took great care of Remy. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day. 10/10 will be booking with Katherine again!”


“I think my pets loved her, and she certainly took great care of them. She was in contact with me regularly with updates and pictures, and was extremely responsive and conscientious when one of the dogs got a little sick. She's great!”


About: With five years of experience, I specialize in personalized care for a wide range of animals, including reptiles and livestock. I am skilled in working with animals of all ages, administering medications, and providing extra care for those with special needs. I am currently a part-time college student with a flexible schedule. Because of this, I am free throughout the week, only needing to leave your pet to attend classes. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize making them feel safe and comfortable in my presence. I maintain their routines, provide attentive care, and create a calm environment to ensure they feel secure while their owner is away.

About: hello! My name is Michelle. I have had dogs growing up, and we have many dogs amongst our family and friends! I have taken care of our family's dogs when their people are out of town and have house/pet sat for some of our friends as well. We have some older pets in the family, so when they are in my care, I give out their medications and ensure they are eating and drinking as they should. I love all furry personalities from fluffy couch potatoes to zooming bundles of energy! I am a full time RN. I work 3 12 hour shifts overnight, so my daytime is open for furry friends. Having 4 days off a week also allows me plenty of extra time to spend with your fluffy loved ones. I do not provide in home services in my own home for my clients. However, I aim to provide the most professional care for my clients in their homes. I believe strongly in respect, mindfulness, and attention to detail when it comes to my work. When going to a client's home, respect for my client's pets and property will be my top priority.

“Amanda was great! She stayed at our house for a week and took amazing care of our pups. She was very communicative and sent pictures throughout the week! We will definitely be using her again :)”


About: I have been working with animals since I was 18 years old. I have several years of work experience with pet care, including veterinary medicine, boarding & daycare, and even pet grooming (baths, nails, ears, anal glands). I am very comfortable with cats and dogs of any size and temperament. I will even show special love and care to senior pets! My schedule is fairly flexible for the summer, as this is my main job. I am more than happy to offer services throughout the week as well as the weekend. I am available as early as 6 am and can adjust how late I stay based on what you’re needing. I can care for your pets in the exact way you’re wanting. If they need more activity, I’m happy to offer playtime. If they are more low energy and like to lay around, I’d show them special love and attention in a relaxed manner such as cuddle time.

“I could not recommend Alexis more highly. She took great care of my dog and cat while I was away and sent me daily updates and pictures. She is caring and professional and I will definitely be using her services again.”


“Danielle was fantastic for our fur babies and home. She was incredibly communicative, sent lots of fun pictures, and took great care while we were away. Highly recommend and will use again!”


“Joyce was wonderful. She did a fantastic job caring for our puppy and ensuring our home was still standing when we returned home. We would definitely recommend her and would use her again if we went out of town again.”


About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs. No dog to big or small! In my spare time, I also volunteer at the animal shelter. I have recently taken a break from working in the medical field, therefore I will have plenty of time with your animals! Great amount of flexibility! At this time I do not offer services in my home. I pay close attention to detail with how you would like for me to care for your animals. I tend to send pictures and text as a double way to reassure the owner. Of course only with permission.

About: I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter for almost 2 years now. I have also been around animals my whole life. I’ve raised dogs, cats, and so many others. I’ve also house and cat sat for neighbors and friends. I will be moving away August 14th and won’t be able to take any bookings for this area anymore! I apologize for the inconvenience! I work part time, but have very flexible schedules. I would have most of my time to spend with your loved pets and can work around scheduling issues! My family has a little yorkie that loves all types of new friends and is very clingy. I take him on my runs and he loves it! I will always put the needs of your pet first and create a happy environment for them!

“I was incredibly impressed with Charlotte’s animal knowledge, experience and kind heart. We were fortunate enough to find her recently and will be using her services for as long as she’ll let us. Our household is the ultimate test for anyone looking for someone who knows what they’re doing when it comes to our animals. We have 3 Rottweilers, 2 cats and 2 birds so as you can imagine that is not only a full house but a full range of animal needs and she cared for them all without missing a beat. Charlotte stayed in our home for 1 week while we went on vacation this past May. She texted us when she had questions and updated us throughout the week. When we got home it was like we never left, everything was still clean and all our animals were happy and content. I highly recommend her!!”

“I have known Sara for over 10 years now. She is an amazing pet caregiver. She has watched both of our dogs while we were on vacation and we were out of state adopting our oldest son. She treated both of them as if they were her own and constantly spoil them with the stuffed squeaky animals. I felt so comfortable and had no doubt both of our animals were taken amazing care of. Even though right now, we do not have an animal if and when we do, we would use Sara without any hesitation.”
