“I hired Caroline to petsit my dog Kobe for seven days. Kobe is special needs as he is four years old and was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of three. He takes anti-seizure meds throughout the day which is one of the reasons I work from home, and I am super overprotective of him. When we did our first meet-and-greet, Caroline came armed with a notepad and questions about Kobe, his likes, dislikes, and his habits. She wanted me to show her where everything was and was very mindful of every thing I told her concerning Kobe and his routine. She is a very kind young lady and seemingly loves animals. I have a camera and was able to check in on Caroline and Kobe throughout the 4.5 hours she'd be at my house. She is really responsive and good about letting me know when she arrives at the house, takes pictures throughout her shift, also videotapes her giving him his meds, and even proof of his poop events. All this is stuff she might have learned in her training with Rover, or just from her own experiences. I didn't ask for all that detail, but am not complaining to get the whole scoop on my dog while I am out. To pass the time while she sits my pooch, Caroline reads, writes, does stuff to keep herself occupied, even takes short naps with my dog, and I appreciate she feels comfortable enough in my home to be relaxed because our pets can sense those types of things. When Kobe first met Caroline he could not stop giving her kisses, and jumping up on her lap, he was so happy and excited he was crying he just could not contain his joy. Our pets are the ultimate judges, so I suggest you do a meet-and-greet with her and take it from there. Do I recommend her? Absolutely, as I will be using her again and again.”

“She took great care of our pups, house was clean, and we got plenty of update pictures. She even noticed some of the flowers were blooming and sent updates pictures on those! Definitely plan to use her again.”

“Meagan was the best dog sitter I’ve ever had - seriously. Usually my dog gets sad when I’m gone and refuses to go for walks. But from Meagan’s pictures and updates, my dog seemed in great spirits the whole week. Not to mention, she treated my home with such care. Highly recommend Meagan & will certainly be hiring her again in the future :)”

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals and have been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, fish, and other animals has given me a strong understanding of their unique needs, behaviors, and personalities. As an experienced pet sitter, I understand how important it is to provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, maintaining routines, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs and personality to ensure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for. I am currently in online college working towards a degree in environmental science. Pet sitting is a good way for me to stay focused on school while still be able to work. In addition to caring for pets, I take pride in being clean, organized, and reliable. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your space with the utmost respect and ensure it is clean and tidy when you return.

About: I’ve been pet sitting dogs and cats of all kinds since I was a young teenager. I truly enjoy getting to care for pets even though I’m not quite ready for one of my own while I’m in school. I have experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments, from skilled leash walkers to the more enthusiastic ones, and I love them all the same. I am currently in medical school on various rotations. I work 15 8-hour shifts per month. Outside of that, I am extremely flexible when it comes to meeting the needs of your pets! I live alone in an apartment that is pet-friendly. The complex itself is all side walks and there are many side yards for leashed walks and outside time. If pets are in my home I treat them as my own, which is like a beloved family member. Of course, I abide by the house rules of the owner if families have certain rules for their pets while in their own homes. For my walking services, I make sure to only walk in safe areas and am very self aware of my surroundings, making sure your dog is safe the entire time.

About: Hey! My name is Rachel. I’ve loved and cared for dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve worked with/lived with dogs of all temperaments. I have experience with administering medication to both cats and dogs. I have volunteered at Humane Societies, animal sanctuaries, and even lived on a small horse ranch where I took care of 4 horses and 5 dogs in Arizona. I am active and playful myself, so this translates when I am with dogs especially, who love to play, go for walks and get the zoomies out. Cats too, but I know when to leave them alone! I am an intuitive, responsible, considerate, patient, reliable and warm person who will treat your pet like my own. I value open and transparent communication so please provide as much info as you may need to feel secure. I am also not afraid to ask any questions in light of being proactive to eliminate potential misunderstandings. I genuinely care and want the best for your pet. I will also happily update you with photos and messages. :) I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate overnight stays, morning and evening drop ins, as well as occasional afternoon visits. I’m happy to work with your pets routine and make sure they receive the care, attention & companionship they need! I care for your pets as if they were my own! :) I have an instinctual nurturing and compassionate heart. I love to build a connection with animals and learn about their personalities through play, petting, communicating.

“Maddie was great meeting my pups for the first time and giving them excellent care and snuggles in my home. My trip was a bit last minute and the weather was a concern for a bit but Maddie was communicative the whole time. I will definitely book her again! Thanks so much for making leaving the pups stress free Maddie!”
