About: Had an elderly dog that needed assistance with getting around, daily medications, and special diet. Had an elderly cat that also needed medications. Currently have a dog that just needs loving and attention! As a college student, I have a lot of free time to spend with pets. I can adjust my routine to fit into the schedule needed from a client. I will not be keeping pets in my home, but in my client’s home, I will fulfill whatever instructions they have for me. I will stay in their home if that is what they want or I will do drop-ins!
About: Hi there! My name is Isabelle though i prefer to go by Astraeus. I’ve always been a part of pet-filled households. I even have my own pet! Even at a super young age neighbors would ask me to take care of their pets and they were always well taken care of. Your animal will be cared for and loved as if it were my own. I am currently working part-time, usually three days a week all on the same days. If anything comes up I’ll do my best to communicate thoroughly. I’ll do pretty much anything needed or asked of me for any pet. Just tell me and make it clear how and when i should do things.
“Debbie was AMAZING with my fur babies. She communicated with me every step of the way, made certain they were loved and cared for, and did all of this at LITERALLY THE VERY LAST MINUTE when I was called out of town. I can not express my gratitude in words to her. She achieved ROCK STAR status in my eyes!”
“I highly recommend Melanie for your pet care needs! My husband and I went out of town for a week, so Melanie dropped by every day for about half an hour to spend time with our two cats. We’ve never had a pet sitter we let into our house before, so we were a little nervous about the whole thing. But I was beyond happy and reassured after hiring Melanie! She went well above and beyond what I ever could have expected or asked of her! In addition to caring for my babies, she came over for a meet and greet, picked up packages off our porch, swept up kitty litter that made it onto the floor, and took tons of daily pictures of the cats (all things I never asked or expected her to do!). She truly took great care of my babies and I will trust her to come back and watch them again until we’re out of town. I’ve recommended her to all my friends and family because I’ve been so impressed! If you’re unsure about a stranger in your home caring for you pets, I can assure you Melanie is the perfect choice. She’s professional, trustworthy, communicative, and great with animals!”
About: I’ve had cats almost my entire life, and small dogs for a few years as well, so I’m familiar with their personalities and needs. I treat every animal like they’re my own. I take time to learn each pet’s personality quirks, favorite toys, and cuddle preferences. I pay close attention to details, routines, and aim to make every visit feel like a mini vacation for your pet, and peace of mind for you! I go the extra mile to make sure your pet(s) feel safe, loved, and never alone. I send plenty of cute photo updates as well!! Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine because I work part-time at home with a flexible schedule. I am a photographer as well, so I spend much of my day on my computer, which makes it easy for me to stay at your home and give your pets plenty of attention. I also co-parent three cats with my sister, so when I’m away, they’re well cared for, no worries there! They all have vastly different personalities, and dietary needs. This experience helps me understand the needs and comforts of pets in a busy but caring environment. I care for furbabies in my clients homes by following routines for feeding and providing fresh water, keeping the litter box clean, and offering playtime and cuddles. I offer gentle attention based on their personality, whether they want to play or just chill nearby. I keep an eye on their health and mood to ensure they stay happy and comfortable in their familiar space. I also send daily updates with photos or videos so you can see how your pet is doing. I’m experienced with cats of all personalities from shy, high energy, anxious, senior cats, to playful kittens. I’m also experienced with medication giving and different diets. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my top priority!
About: I am an animal lover who has had pets for 16 years. Currently, I have four cats and three dogs. They keep me on my toes and all have different personalities that I have learned to cater towards. I have experience caring for other people’s dogs, cats, lizards, and rodents. I am comfortable grooming, walking, running, feeding, playing with and caring for your dog(s). I also have experience with giving animals oral medicine, if needed. I am a patient and friendly college student with a flexible schedule and reliable transportation. If there are any skills that I lack I am willing to put in research and time in the attempt to grow and provide 100% customer satisfaction. I look forward to meeting your dog(s) and making sure they are the epitome of happiness!
About: I have three dogs, two cats, and a gecko. My pet care experience started within my family, including dog walks, playtime, training, and love. When I got to highschool I started dog sitting within my neighborhood and for family friends. Although my pet care experience id say goes beyond just cats and dogs considering I’ve taken care of a pig, a bird, snakes, bunnies, hamsters, bearded dragons… I think you get the idea. As a wildlife biology major, I have also had exposure to even undomesticated animals, and learned telling signals of animals. Overall, I confidently can say that I believe I am a very qualified person to take care of your pets! Currently, I am in college with a pretty difficult major, and an athlete on the girls lacrosse team. During the week days the most I can do is offer assistance in letting your pets out and doings stop by’s to feed them, but the weekends I am open to way more time with your pets. Obviously I have no pets with me in my college dorm, but at home I have a fenced in yard, the dogs and cats get fed twice a day, and I give walks daily to the dogs. I also try to play with the dogs considering the breeds my family owns are high-energy breeds and need that kind of attention, but I also have dealt with low-energy breeds and older dogs who just need some pets!
“Gabby did awesome, we've used her for years, glad to see shes stretching her arms and joining rover! Our dogs love her to death and she is great with them. All 3 are pitbulls and she has no issues Keeping them spoiled and happy! Would book her anytime ! A very responsible and respectful young woman .”
About: Howdy! My name is Pierce! I’ve been caring for pets of my own and of friends / family since I was 16! I’m available anytime of the day or night! I’ve taken care of rabbits, hamsters, turtles, tortoises, Great Danes / Pyrenees, Maine Coons, birds, nonvenomous / non-constricting snakes, rats and mice, and teeny fur babies alike! I can’t wait to meet your pets!! Just give me a holler! 😁 I have a redbone coonhound and an orange tabby of my own so I still care for animals every day, but growing up I lived on a farm with tons of animals! We had snakes and rats / mice as well! I’ve given shots to animals, and my old dog had to have arthritis medicine every day. I love every animal! I’m very knowledgeable with many different animals. I always let animals sniff me before I go in for a pet, and I’ve never met a pet that didn’t love me back!
“Another great experience with Amanda’s drop ins! She went above and beyond bringing in our mail and working to get our more shy kitties out from hiding to interact since they get sad when we are gone for too long and need lots of attention. We came back early at the last minute as well and she was flexible and worked with us to get the key back, etc.”
“Mike always does an outstanding job with our cat kids. His dedication and feedback makes what could be a stressful time less so. I appreciate everything he does and would highly recommend him!”
About: Hi everyone! A little about me, I have grown up on a 12-acre farm taking care of dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, goats, and even a ferret! Outside of my home I have taken care of dogs, cats, and a turtle. I will be working part time and studying full time so pet care might change depending on the week. I will have opportunity to walk or feed in the afternoons after I finish my responsibilities for the day. Preferably, I will care for your pets in your home as I believe it does not create more stress and allows optimal comfortability. I would love to keep your pet on their regular schedule as best as possible!
About: I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, horses. I have lived on a farm with chickens and everything above since I was one years old. I have an open schedule- happy to work with everyone’s pet needs in this busy life. Hoping to make your time away as stress free as possible. I am honored to be trusted with your beloved animals. I will care for them as if they are my own, truly! You won’t regret using me.
“Shelby was great! She took most excellent care of Sophia and the Dew while we were out of town. She really cares, and we enjoyed getting the pics from her care visits, we would def use her talents again.”

I definitely recommend them as your next petsitter.”

She gave my older dog the gentle care and attention she needs, while also keeping up with the energy of my two younger dogs (both 3 years old). I got regular updates and photos, which made me feel totally at ease. When I came home, all three dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful to have had Tiffany care for my pups!”

“I can’t recommend Pierce enough for Rover. He’s amazing with both cats and dogs—super patient, caring, and really understands how to make pets feel comfortable and safe. Whether it’s giving a shy cat space to warm up or keeping a high-energy dog entertained and exercised, he knows exactly what to do. He’s helped take care of my pets plenty of times and they absolutely love him. He’s great about sticking to routines, keeping things clean, and paying attention to the little things like behavior changes or what each pet likes and doesn’t like. You can totally count on him to treat your pets like his own!”

She makes sure as to not interrupt their routine and always leaves our house cleaner than she found it. We can't say enough great things about Tessa.”
