“Our cat was well and as happy as he gets when his people returned from being away. Jacob did seem to forget some of the details of our instructions, such as refilling the second upstairs water dish. Still, our cat did not go without any essentials, and Jacob's photo updates were reassuring. Thank you, Jacob!”
“Laura is amazing with our doggie! She gives her lots of love while we are out of town, and treats her as if she was her own dog. We will definitely keep scheduling with her. You will like her with your doggies too!”
“Kristin is awesome! She took great care of Stu and spent some good time playing with him which I know he appreciated. She also brought in an unexpected package we got delivered while we were gone, and helped reset our router when it went down and we lost connection to our cat cam. We couldn't be more thankful for her this holiday season!”
About: I grew up with a dog and have since provided pet sitting services for neighbors and friends. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I currently volunteer at the county dog shelter, where I work with dogs of all temperaments, including shy or nervous pets who need extra time to warm up to new people. Being very active myself, I’m also comfortable handling strong dogs who tend to pull during walks. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pups while you're away on trips or at work! I work a typical 9-to-5 schedule and primarily work from home, which allows me to take breaks and visit or walk your pets frequently throughout the day. I currently don't have any pets of my own, so your pet will receive my full attention while in my care. I am happy to meet before booking to see if I am the right fit for your pet!
“Teresa is a wonderful person to work with. She and my old cat who has started to be a fussy eater got along well and I appreciated her daily updates. I give her two thumbs up!!”
“Kayla has been truly awesome with watching my cats! She is diligent in sending daily Rover Cards with photos, and letting me know how things are going! I trust her completely with my pets!”
About: As an animal person since birth I work hard to understand the specific needs and wants of each animal family member. I have worked with a wide variety of animals my whole life, in vet clinics, animal rehabs, farms, and homes. I can provide walks, hikes, senior care, interactive play time, personal attention, socialization, and general bathing and maintenance. I am incredibly intuitive and patient and pride myself in providing unique adaptive care to each pet. No pet is too big or small; too young or old! I care for all species as well. (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, etc.) All animals deserve love and care! My work schedule is currently very flexible so most days are available at any time. I make sure to keep my calendar up to date. The safety of your pet is number one. I am more then happy to put in time to build trust with your pet. I even have a very patient dog of my own who can provide a friend to your dog or cat and help with socializing young or nervous animals. I not only care for your pet but your home. Any mess made by me or your pet I make sure to clean!

About: I have watched a variety of dogs, including large, small, and puppies. I have two dogs at home, one is 10 and the other is 2. I care for both of them all the time and I am experienced walking and house sitting. I working part time, so I will be watching dogs in my free time! I currently have a very flexible schedule, but please message me to determine my exact availability. I will take great care of your dogs in your home, while being respectful of your space and pets. I have LOTS of cleaning experience in case of an accident :)

“Alex was wonderful! Very responsible and reliable. Everything I requested for the care of my cat was done exactly as I hoped.

About: I’ve had plenty experience caring for pets since I was young. It started off with family friends, neighbors, etc and now I’m several of their first resorts when they need someone to care for their animals! I have the most experience with adult age animals but have had some experiences with puppies/kittens and a few senior animals. I am currently on Summer break so I have more free time than usual, but just let me know what you need and we can work it out! I always appreciate and respect any rules you may have for your pet or that have to do with your household, in fact I tend to prefer it to make sure there’s no confusion or miscommunication on either end! I find it makes the owners feel more reassured and gives a better overall experience!
“Kate communicated with us daily and sent pictures. She took excellent care of all of our pets, including our 19 year old cat, who needs medication every day. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Max did an amazing job house sitting our cats! They went above and beyond, watering our garden, and cleaning the house before we got back. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Thank you Max!”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs and have helped friends and family with pet sitting before, don’t have any of my own right now I work online part time and have plenty of time to care for pets etc when I’m not actively engaged in something time sensitive now I have a yard in a secluded corner of the west side right next to a large field with plenty of room to run and play
“Great cooperation and communication, took very good care of my rabbit!”
About: I have had pets for my entire life. I currently have a dog and two cats. As a kid, I loved learning about animal communication so I have a pretty good read on how animals are thinking and feeling. I have also worked with farm animals and fish. I cared for a senior dog and cat for a while and have petsitted for friends and family members in the past. I am free most of the day on weekdays and until 3 on Sundays. I like to walk and don't mind going back and forth between houses. I currently cannot take your pets home at this time. However, I will be seeking houses within walking distance so I will never be too far away.

Teresa dropped in on my two cats twice per day for the week I was away. I had a lot of faith in her after our meet-and-greet, and it was well-placed! Teresa got along well with both cats, engaged them, and was always on time with her visits. No surprises upon my return, just two happy cats. I will certainly reach out to her again with my future sitting needs.
Kayla has been truly awesome with watching my cats! She is diligent in sending daily Rover Cards with photos, and letting me know how things are going! I trust her completely with my pets!
Kristin was great with our kitties! And our afraid of everyone kitty absolutely loved her. Highly recommend. She was very attentive and provided us with great updates!
Kate communicated with us daily and sent pictures. She took excellent care of all of our pets, including our 19 year old cat, who needs medication every day. I would definitely recommend her.
