“Grace was amazing! While we were gone she kept in communicate with us and sent pictures. When we returned home the dogs were happy and content. I highly recommend Grace for sitting with your babies.”
“Sasha was literally incredible. This is the first time I've ever used Rover and I was scared; we've all heard the horror stories about this app, but I am so grateful for Sasha! My dog loves her and I fully trust her with him. If you need a dog sitter, I highly suggest Sasha! 🐾❤️”
“Lucas is such a sweetheart! He was so good with my dogs. The dogs were calm and behaved when we got home, I just knew he spoiled them rotten. He communicated with me daily sending me texts and pictures of my dogs. He followed all of my directions. I would definitely recommend Lucas to care for your pups.”
About: I’m a semi-retired registered nurse with over 10 years of home and pet sitting experience, including pets with special medical needs requiring medicine and insulin injections. I am semi-retired and I am available for daytime pet visits on my days off or around my work schedule. I am available anytime for overnight sitting. I care for the pets as the client wishes, to help maintain normalcy and reduce anxiety and stress for the pet while the client is away.
“Tabatha was great! She house sat while we were out of town and took great care of all three of our dogs. We had to extend our trip a night and she extended her stay. We would love for her to watch for us again!”
“Kaylie was awesome when watching our house and pups. We have 4 animals that all require a bunch of attention, including daily medication. She sent us daily updates and multiple pictures throughout the day which eased our anxiety of leaving the state.”
“Amera took great care of our dogs! She was always on time and understanding of our requests and our dogs normal routines. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for someone you can trust with your pups.”
About: We've both had dogs our whole lives (including our current 2!) and have extensive experience caring for pups of all backgrounds, breeds, shapes, and sizes with different care needs. Kyle works remotely from home full time, so your sweet pup(s) will never be more than an hour or so without someone home with them, and even that will be rare! We are dog parents and homeowners ourselves and promise to treat your sweet pup(s) and home with the same care and respect we give our beloved dogs and home. We have a large, secure fenced yard that's perfect for zoomies, fetch, or simply basking in the sun (as is our senior dog’s preference).
About: I’ve had cats since I was 6 and at 12, I started walking and pet sitting dogs in my neighborhood and continued this till I adopted my own puppy. In the last 8 years, I’ve adopted a cat, bearded dragon, and two dogs of my own. I’ve enjoyed learning about all the traits that make each of these animals special. I love running, hiking, and swimming with my own dogs and would love to do the same with yours, or just cuddle on the couch! I have experience with older dogs, challenging behaviors, puppies, and following training plans. I also have experience administering medication. I’d love to get to know your fur babies and show them just as much love as I show my own. I work full time from home so I'm available most days. I'm typically not available for house sitting on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I can do drop in visits but 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month, I have a standing meeting between 8-10:30 AM. I’ll keep an eye on your pets when outdoors and always reach out if there’s a concern for their health. I also have experience follow medication routine.
“Mckinnley did a great job watching our dog Leo for 6 days while we went away on a trip. She communicated well and sent photos/updates often. Our dog is a scared and shy boy, and she was very patient with him and able to earn his trust. She also did a nice job of keeping our apt clean, which is always nice to see when coming back home. We will definitely reach out to Mckinnley again the next time we need a dog sitter 😊”
“Taylor was so helpful coming in last minute. She was careful with our elderly dog, making sure she has everything she needs to be comfortable and happy. We would love to have her watch our dog in the future!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner my entire life, and currently own two, high energy, pups. I come packed with love and patience for your fur baby. I have a calm demeanor, but bring the fun, and will treat your pet with the respect and kindness you’d hope for. I work from home and make my own schedule. If I’m house sitting, I will be available for your pet the entire time. I do have scattered meeting throughout the day, and will work around my schedule. I give my dogs two walks a day. I can fit yours in at those times, or the times that work best for you. If I’m house sitting, I will stick to your dog’s schedule.
“Elizabeth was communicative and flexible about our last minute booking. Our kitty was well cared for and she was very comfortable with our large dog. We’d definitely book again!”
About: I have taken care of pets all my life. I have experience with cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, cows, pigs, chickens, etc.. I have experience in potty training and command training as well as medicine administration. What sets me apart from others is that I PROMISE to treat your animal with love and respect and keep them safe while you are away. I think it’s important that people leave their animals in a safe environment and with someone that genuinely cares about their well being, I AM that person. I am retired and now find myself with a lot of time on my hands. I can board your pets, house sit them or daily trips to your home, what ever best fits you and your pet. I believe that animals can be frightened when their humans are gone and a new person is around. The best way that I have found to ease the anxiety is to just be present and talk with them, a lot. Some animals just want company, but at a distance. Others, well there is a reason we all have laps, right! Safe treats are always a nice surprise and respect should be given. Sometimes slow and steady is the best practice while other times playing fetch, walks or even sitting and petting works. While boarding with me I make sure to include them in everything I do, like wandering in my very large backyard, playing in the garden, cooking, things like that. I adapt to the animal and work hard at making sure they don’t get lonely, bored or sad. Pets are family in my book!
About: Range of experience from potty training age to elderly dog care. As much care as your pup may need—we can handle. Long walks, to long cuddles, we’re happy to match your dogs pace. Samantha has a flexible working schedule in very close proximity to our home. Leighton teaches, and has ample availability in the summer. Our four year old dog; Ripp, goes on daily morning jogs, and has all-day access to our large backyard. We are looking to offer care for other pets in our home. We are able to adapt our routines to meet the needs of each individual pet & their owners expectations. Care may include, but is not limited to: walks/jogs, outside play time, basic grooming, medication administration.

Melissa M.
“Melissa is obsessed with her dogs in the best way! She takes them on multiple walks per day. She thought me only taking my dog out twice a day was not enough times (it's plenty for my dog lol). She spends more time with them than anyone else. She understands them and their feelings. Leave her alone with dogs for too long and she will create a whole new language only she and the animals know and understand. I wish I was exaggerating on that one. You will literally never meet someone more obsessed with dogs in my opinion.”

Nancy G.
“Let me begin by saying, if you want the best care for your pet, Nancy is the person for you. She has impressed me over and over again with how good and caring she is with animals. They all love her after they get to know her. She is definitely hands on, so you don't have to worry if your pet is left alone and lonely while you are gone. You really can't ask for a better care giver for your pet.”
Jessica L.
“Jessica sent us updates daily about how our cats were doing and left our house spotless. She was friendly and professional, I would definitely recommend!”
Sami & Leighton C.
“Sami has watched my baby boy, Chowder, since he was a little pug! He loves playing at her house and always comes home exhausted. When I leave town I know he is in great hands!!”
