“Jessica has dropped in for my cats a few times and is always great with my cats. She has been reliable and the cats are well taken care of. I am a repeat customer, and i would recommend Jessica to anyone!”
“Tera did an amazing job in keeping me updated on check in and check out times, as well as what was done on taking care of my cat, and pictures of how he was doing too! He really enjoyed her company and was happy to have someone check in on him! 😁”
“We've had Dasha come out to take care of our dog, Noodle, and we just had her check on our cat while we were gone. She was amazing, as always. We are so lucky to have found her!”
“It was so nice knowing my animals were going to be checked on when we had to be gone for over 14 hours. Kayla did a great job! Received pictures of very happy animals.”
“Lauren is an amazing sitter for my Blue Russian cat while I am away on deployments. I trust her with my home and pet. She is the sole reason I am able to keep my furry friend while I am away for work.”
“Natalee took care of my cats over 8 days. She was conscientious about getting to them after her flight home was delayed and during a storm. It would have been good to learn about the delay without asking, but with airline issues, I don't think she knew sooner. Thanks for all your help, Natalee!”
About: Dogs aren’t just pets — they’re family. I have an adventurous dog myself, and we spend hours exploring forests, rivers, and fields. I know how to keep energetic pups happy, healthy, and well-exercised. Whether your dog needs a calm companion or an active hiking buddy, I’m ready with a leash and a smile! Pet care is part of my everyday life. I walk my own dog daily, rain or shine, and love including other pets in my weekly routine. I plan my schedule around their needs to make sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I have a small open backyard that is not fenced, so I always use a leash and closely supervise any pet outside. I make sure they get enough exercise, love, and attention. I also have a medium-sized dog of my own who is friendly and can be a great companion for your pet.
“Natalie was awesome and really helped me out with a last minute booking after there was a scheduling conflict with my current sitter. She was very patient with my (very) timid rescue and went above and beyond to give some extra love to my older pup who was also home and didn’t require care. Will 100% book her in the future!”
About: Although I’ve only had a cat of my own, I’ve always been close to animals. I found my cat as a kitten on the street and cared for her for years.

I treat every animal as part of my own family. I’m currently on maternity leave and stay at home with my 3-year-old daughter, so I’m available most days from morning until evening, except during nap time from 12 to 3 p.m. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet lots of love and attention. I treat every pet like my own — with love, calm energy, and lots of care. I always create a peaceful and safe space where your furry friend feels comfortable, happy, and at home.

About: I got my first dog on my 5th birthday. Her name was Lucky, but 5 year old me thought my dog's name should be Princess. I have loved dogs ever since, and I'm pretty sure they love me too. I'm the guy laying on the floor covered in dog hair at social events. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their dogs for many years. I work from home full-time, so I can drop in or walk during my lunch break or when I log off for the day at 3pm. Safety first. I have been around dogs my whole life, and can read their body language and identify the warning signs of aggression. I avoid encounters with other dogs on walks when possible. If walking a dog friendly dog, I verbally confirm with the other human if it is ok for a quick hello.
“Christine was just wonderful. Although we did not meet in person I felt so at ease and comfortable with her as my doggos sitter. She was wonderful at communicating with me in a timely manner and made sure I had some pictures of my boy while I was away. I would absolutely book with Christine again, and I'm sure my pup would love to see her again! Thanks so much Christine”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have cared for friends & family’s as well. I’ve always had such a special connection to all animals. My very first job at 15 was taking care of 10 huskies. I have also volunteered at Sarvey Wildlife Care Center taking care of the many different types of animals with various duties, from cleaning, feeding, medical special needs, to simply keeping an eye on them. As of the last year, I sadly lost my 15 yr old who was mix Anatolian/Keeshond and then 4 months later lost my 13yr old who was mix Shih Tzu/Pomeranian who I had both since they were babies. I’m feeling at the point where I’m longing to take care of others and love on them, but not quite ready to get my own just yet. I’m a very nurturing person especially when it comes to animals and their needs and would love to offer that again to other beloved pets. I treat them as if they are my own children. I’m experienced with many different breeds and all the stages of their lives. All animals have their individual and unique personalities.. I’m very observant and connected learning quickly what their needs are based on behavior, breed, and age. I’m experienced in administrating medication if needed. And in general all the basic needs of walking, feeding, physical and mental stimulation and of course lots of love. I’m very committed, reliable, respectful and will go above and beyond if their are any special requests or other things needed to be done such as cleaning, checking mail, taking out trash etc.. I am currently open availability and extremely flexible. I would love to come watch or walk your pups.. I do have a 12 yr old Kitty, and can also have small pups here. My home is fenced and it is only myself living here. Occasionally my 26-year-old daughter who also is an huge animal lover comes by. I do have a 12-year-old cat, so small pups would only be suitable here, otherwise I can pup-sit or walks at your house.
“We were so nervous using Rover for the 1st time. Cassidy was so understanding of all of our questions. She did a great job with Gizmo & CeeDee (Guinea) and sent updates all the time. I felt so comfortable and safe and would 100% book Cassidy again. Thank you for making us feel more comfortable with having our fur babies being safe when we are out of town.”

Amber has watched our cat, Camille, a couple of times and I always know she’s in good hands while we’re away. Most recently, a family emergency took me out of town for an extended amount of time and Amber was flexible, accommodating, and responsive. I appreciate that she made a difficult time much easier to navigate.
Natalie was awesome and really helped me out with a last minute booking after there was a scheduling conflict with my current sitter. She was very patient with my (very) timid rescue and went above and beyond to give some extra love to my older pup who was also home and didn’t require care. Will 100% book her in the future!
Kaori was so amazing with my Jazz kitty! I really appreciated how communicative she was on how Jazz was eating, taking his medicine, and even his litter box habits. It may seem odd, but for my senior kitty, these are important details! She was punctual, professional, trustworthy and very pleasant. And her kitty pics are an amazing bonus! 10/10 will use again!
