About: I don't have children, so animals fill my life. Because I have no children I have a very flexible schedule. I have worked with animals for many years in a kennel setting, as well as in people's homes. When pets are in my home, or I'm at theirs, I am the person who enjoys curling up with them for snuggle or go outside to play ball. I have experience with giving medication, as well as dealing with strict dietary needs. I can work with animals of all sizes and shapes, and temperaments. Hope to treat peoples babies like I would mine. Giving hugs and kisses all the time. Pet sitting is my full time job, so I will not need to leave your animals to go to another job. When I take a job, I’m committed to making the animals as happy as possible while their family is away. Weather permitting I love to play outside with the dogs, spending as much time as we can working off their energy and mine. Outside time is my favorite time.

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.

“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: 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”


“I can't say enough good things about Lindsay! She cared for my dogs (one is a puppy) on Saturday while we attended a wedding, and her understanding, thoroughness, and genuine love for animals gave me complete peace of mind. I was able to fully enjoy the evening without a single worry about my furry children. Thank you, Lindsay for being amazing! We'll definitely be booking again! :)”

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.”
