“We have the ultimate scaredy-cat and he actually came out of hiding each day that Nikki was here! He seemed happy and content when we got home. We were very happy with Nikki and will definitely have her come again!”
“Shelby is great! Her communication is prompt and always keeps me informed. Our furbabies have gotten to know her and now wait for her at the door. We've used her before and will continue to use her!”
“Excellent experience as always, Becky takes such good care of our two older kitties whenever we're out of town! They had new meds this time and she made sure they got the right doses. She gives them the individual care they both need. 😊 She even offered to bring in our mail and packages!”
“Danny was so great with our cat while we were away, and was helpful in taking care of a few house sitting things as well (mail, thermostat, etc). He was flexible and was able to do a few unplanned visits for us when our plans changed and also just to check more frequently on our cat as well. I had pretty specific instructions laid out as my cat is a little needy, and Danny was very receptive and understanding - didn’t seem phased by it at all! My cat has had issues when we are gone in the past and after working from home during COVID we were nervous but we had no issues and clearly the time Danny spent with him was just what our little guy needed. Kind and respectful, highly recommend.”
“This was our first time using Rover. We would definitely have Becky take care of our cats again. She did a wonderful job of communicating with us and took great care of the cats while we were gone. Thanks Becky for a job well done!”
About: I started caring for animals at a young age. Walking, medicating, cleaning and spending time with them. I really love spending one on one time with any pet! I work at 11am M,W,Th,F so am available anytime before 11 those days & then anytime on T,S,Su! I am also available most holidays, I try to have a flexible schedule. I have a golden retriever named Mobi and a Tabby cat named tiger. I clean tigers litter box while maintaining his diet. As for Mobi I feed him, talk to Him, sit outside with him and walk him.
“Suzi was great. Jumped in at the last minute when another sitter canceled. Daily updates were personable and detailed. Bogey was a happy camper when I returned. Highly recommend!”
“Kristina took care of our shy cat for the first time this past weekend. It's not easy to care for an animal that would rather hide from you than interact, and Kristina dealt with her well. She was friendly, came over when promised, and cared for Sophie and our house well.”
About: I absolutely love dogs and all animals! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have cared for everything from puppies to seniors, both big and small. I am available for dog walks a couple times throughout the week days or weekends. I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule, so I can adjust to accommodate your pup’s needs. We can work together on a schedule to make sure your pup gets out for potty breaks and walks. At home, I have a 7-year old English Bulldog who gets along with all dogs (she is quite a character) and I have a 6-year old Great Pyrenees who adores meeting other furry friends (except non-neutered males). We have a large backyard and live on a lake, so the dogs love to play in the yard (but we do not have a fence so I do walk my Great Pyrenees on a leash when he goes outside since he’s a wanderer). We do offer doggy day care on occasion as well. If your dog prefers a leash then I can certainly walk him/her on a leash for play time as well. :) The dogs really enjoy the view from the floor-to-ceiling windows looking outside while laying on their cozy beds indoors as well… they are our neighborhood watch crew :) . I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I invite you and your pup to come by for a meet and greet any day of the week if being considered for doggie day care. I’m also more than happy to provide references as well. I work from home and my schedule is flexible, so I can work around your pet’s needs. I’m happy to accommodate meet and greets after work hours and on weekends as well. I can typically offer up to two dog walks per day (possibly 3) if I’m coming to your home to dog walk. The main floor of my house is all hard wood floors in the kitchen, living room, foyer, and dining room… so the dogs have free range access all day and they have floor to ceiling windows to see out the backyard to watch out over the lake which they seem to enjoy (lots of birds, fish, and squirrels to watch all day). I am also happy to take your dog on walks if you’d like (my Great Pyrenees goes on at least 2-3 walks per day, but our bulldog is a bit more lazy so she doesn’t always feel like walking if it’s too hot outside). We also have a large yard for play time. :) If I’m walking your dog at your home, please provide your preferred instructions and I’m happy to accommodate. I also love to provide updates with photos so you can rest assured that your pup is well cared for when you’re away.
“Jan was great!! Super friendly- sent me pictures of Milo. I will definitely schedule again with her and recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter! Thanks:)”
About: In veterinary technician school, worked at animal rehabilitation centers and a hands-on pet store. Ive grown up with rambunctious labradors and cared for three-legged dogs as a pool physical therapist for pets. I have sat for weeks old dogs and dogs about to move on, whatever your pet needs and however old, large or small, I guarantee i can accommodate them. I am a part-time student and part-time employee. My school schedule this semester is only monday and wednesdays, both days I become free at 4 pm or between classes from 11:15-2:30. Besides that, my time is fair game. I realize pet sitting is letting me into your home, trusting me with your space. I would never want to cross any lines and am fully trustworthy around pets, people and possessions. I have babysat and pet sat and never had complaints.
About: I’ve absolutely loved animals since I was a kid, and over the years have helped to take care of dogs, cats, gerbils, and even one chinchilla! More recently, I have an 8 year-old chocolate lab who I’ve been primarily responsible for raising, training, and look after since she was just a puppy. I absolutely adore pets of any kind, and would be more than honored to take care of your pets, too! I’m off for the summer until college starts again in late August, so I would be happy to work whenever I’m needed! Other than occasionally driving my little brother to his various activities, I’m basically free at any time of any day! I try to approach every animal I work with differently depending on their personality, but one thing I’m keen on is keeping them in my line of sight as much as possible. I’m also incredibly patient when it comes to training, and have sat with my own dog for upwards of an hour until I feel we’re ready to move on. I am dedicated to making sure every pet I come across feels comfortable, cared for, and safe while I’m in charge.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have dog sat for many years. I have two dogs right now and one is blind so he requires special care. My availability is very flexible. I do have class and work but even with that I have a lot of free time. if you message me we will absolutely figure out days/times that work. I take very good care of my cats at home that includes routine feeding, freshwater every day, and litter box cleaning every day. aswell as interactive play daily to keep them stimulated. in my clients home i make sure i’m thorough and follow all the rules to ensure safety.
“Kelley is an amazing sitter and our young cat loves when she’s able to watch him! We’ve been gone a lot recently, but Kelley always sends the best updates and photos. She’s the best!”
“Jaida dropped by to check on and feed our guinea pigs and chickens for a week on short notice over the New Years holiday. She was dependable, attentive, and communicative and I’m so thankful!”

She is very prompt and lets me know when she is available for the week. Highly recommend Lucy!”

She has always wanted to be a dog walker and would love to pet sit in your home as well. She is a junior in college majoring in English and education.”
