“I could not recommend daizee enough! I’ve never left my dogs home for any reason and have missed out on a lot because of it. She came highly recommended from a good friend so I figured I’d give it a shot. To say I was nervousness was an understatement but her first day she sent me a Rover card at every visit! Coming home after 5 days, I have no apprehension about having her look after my pups again and I certainly will, if they haven’t scared her off! ?Thank you daizee!”


“Harper didn't warm up to her, but that's because of him not Ashton. He's only ever warned up to one other person. She was very respectful of his space and comfort level and sent pics from every visit. Highly recommend and will definitely use her services again.”


“Lillian has been our drop-in sitter for a week and a half now and I could not be happier. Her attentiveness, compassion and communication is top notch, to say the least. I'm so glad I found her on here.”



“Kelli is always amazing. She takes great care of my two elderly dogs and loves them like they're her own. I highly recommend her. She's absolutely wonderful and so knowledgeable.”


“Alisha arrived exactly when asked to and treated my girl so well. Her updates are thorough and fun to read, and she took lots of cute pics of our pup. Even though our dog is rather shy, Alisha quickly build trust with her.”

“Ashley dropped in on our kitties while we were out of town and they were well looked-after. Our one cranky old man cat can be a real jerk, not using the box, and she kindly cleaned up after him and gave him love anyway. She was a great communicator and even brought some packages inside for us when she visited.”


“Christina was awesome with the pets and with our house. We were able to enjoy our trip with peace of mind and zero worries by having her taking care of everything. It was great to receive photos that she sent from every visit, we could see our pets every day! Strongly recommend!!!”


“Camryn responded immediately and came out to meet my doggies beforehand. The dogs like her! She came out with her little one, but the dogs weren't quite sure about the baby carrier with the fan on it :). They were really curious though. Camryn took good care of my fur-babies, fed them and made sure they went potty before she left. I will contact her again.”


About: Dogs and cats and lizards, oh my! I’ve done it all. For the first 18 years of my life I’ve had experience walking dogs, house sitting, and raising my own pets. Then I began working at a summer camp where I was partially responsible for taking care of our reptile family - crested geckos, bearded dragons, and ball pythons and were just some of the cuties I got to take care of. Since then I have taken care and owned cats, dogs, and lizards of my own and on the side have house sat and loved many family and friends pets while they’re gone. I even have experience with some medical administration such as insulin shots to a feisty cat and pills to the dog I currently own. I can’t wait to get acquainted with your family member :) My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most any time a pet needs taken care of, including during the work day and weekends. I have three dogs, one cat and a crested gecko currently who are all very loved and spoiled by myself, my husband and our almost two year old. We’ve taught all the dogs recall, leash training and how to be gentle around young children. Our cat is an old man with feline herpes, one of our dogs needs daily oral medication and the juvenile gecko gets extra attention as he continues growing.

About: As a pet owner (cats, dogs and hamsters), I am offering the same care I looked for when I had pet sitting needs—dependability and love for pets. I work full time remotely so I’m flexible during the week. I do travel with my job and many of my weekends are full. I will keep my schedule updated so times are known when I can help. I am willing to watch your dog or cat at your house. I currently have a friendly cat but he doesn’t understand not all dogs love him. If I watch your dog at my house, the dog would need to meet my cat first to make sure they are ok. I do have a fenced in yard.

About: I've loved dogs ever since I can remember! I've helped some at a vet clinic and cared for dogs there. I have had my own dog who was a senior. I am very comfortable with, and have a soft spot in my heart for seniors. I actively dog sit acquaintances' dogs. I am very active and will love to run and walk your dog! I am not currently working, so I am home and happily willing to give 24 hour care to your pet. I have the extra time to spend playing with, walking, and snuggling your precious pet! I have a chain link enclosure with a high quality dog igloo, and I can easily crate your dog if needed, as well! While my yard is not fenced, I am home much of the time and am able to take your fur baby on long walks and playtime.

About: I had taken care of dogs of every kind since I was very young. I have relied on me to walked, feed and bathe their pets. I had also trained 2 dogs with some of the sign language as well to teach the animals to sit and stay with the sign language. My friends and family have relied on me to take their dogs to the dog park, the beach and go on the morning hike. Just really take care of their animals with the love, respect and support for those need my help for them to enjoy their time or a getaway! I'm currently working from home on my own flexible schedule! I do have a lot of time in between working virtually and I can do my job anywhere! So if I take the dogs to the park or go on a walk, I could work on my phone to reply my emails, messages etc. I do have the good balance of taking a break from work to spend the time with the animals to give them my attention and cuddles and go on a walks or adventures! First thing first is to care the animals with respect, love and comfort to be in my home or in your home. At my house: I do have a fully fenced back yard and front yard with my two lovely dogs that will give your animals peace of mind and protection. In my house are full of cozy energy, your animal will love this place to run around and enjoying every moment to be here. I have a few bowls of water around my house, they will be hydrated while your animals are here. I don't share human food to the animals. They will always be fed with their own dog/cat food. It is the open space in my house so the animals will be seen in my full view at all times. They will be protected while they're here. I do have a doggie hole as well! The dogs can go outside at anytime with the backyard wood fenced around. If your cats aren't outdoors, that's okay because I do leave a baby gate to block the doggie door hole so the animals doesn't get out and I will take the dogs outside to my front yard that are fenced as well. At night time, I do put all of my cats in my bedroom with me while the door are shut so the dogs can go outside on their own while I am asleep until the morning time, I would block the doggie door with the baby gate and let the cats out my room. If your cat isn't outdoor cat then he/she//they can be with me in my bedroom with all of my cats or they can sleep with my little sister in another cozy room with the cat litter & food/water/toys. I love to have the transparency communication with the owners as well! Lots of pictures will be shared to the owners as well! The owner with the animal will need to meet me and my animals just to be sure to see how they interact and to see how you feel about your animals for being in my lovely home. If I was at your house, I am that person that will follow your wishes and expectations of how you would want me to care for your animals. I do clean up after myself when I am at your house and to keep it tidy clean as you like it to be. I also like to step outside with the dogs/cats to keep my eyes on them or even just being outside with them and play with their toys to give them my joyful attention. I love to have the transparency communication with the owners as well. I will always ask the owner before assuming or trying things out. I love to meet the animals before starting the whole process to feel it out how the energy goes for us and for your animals too. If it flows great with you, I and your animals then there will be lots of pictures will be shared to you as well!


About: I grew up around pets. I am very active & can be energetic with your pet. I can play & run (if needed). I love to be around and to spend time with animals. I am very aware of how to take care of an animal. I can spend a good bit of time taking care of them as long as it fits into my schedule! I am flexible with my visits and can come multiple times a day if my schedule doesn’t conflict that day. I work full time, but I have flexibility with having to be in the office so I am able to work with most pet schedules. I also don’t work on the weekends and am usually in town. I can play with pets for hours or just be there to make sure they’re taken care of if they’re more of a shy and/or lazy breed.

About: Ever since I was a child, I’ve had a deep love for animals of all kinds! I’ve grown up with dogs, birds, and a family cat at one point. Over the years, I’ve watched family, friends, peers furr babies. As a proud United States Army Veteran, integrity is incredibly important to me, and I bring that same dedication and care to everything I do. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a leisurely walk, or some well-deserved cuddles, I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry loved one and give them all the love and attention they deserve. I currently own an 7 month old Australian Shepherd Cashew “Cash” Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I work from home and only need WiFi. This flexibility allows me to provide your pet with plenty of attention, care, and time throughout the day! I currently provide pet care by visiting your homes, ensuring your pets are comfortable and well cared for in their own comfortable environment. While I don’t offer in-home sitting yet.. I’m hoping to add that option in the future . just working on convincing my fiancé! 😅
