“Norman showed up with great energy & care for our first time with him sitting. Page loves to see him & Norman stays in touch throughout the day with good awareness to tune in for needs for me & pup while I was away.”


“I cannot recommend Meg enough! She took incredible care of my senior pup Cooper, treating them like family while I was away. I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which really helped ease my mind. It was clear my pup was not only well cared for but truly happy—whether going on walks, getting bones and treat, or just snuggling up. Very grateful for all she did to keep my pup calm and comfortable.”


“I would rate Amber 100 stars if I could. She stayed with my two high energy dogs for the weekend and was absolutely amazing. Not only did she come and do a meet and greet the week before staying but she kept in contact the whole time and also sent pictures of the dogs so I knew they were happy and being taken care of. I will definitely be using her again!”

About: For the past 9 years, I’ve had the joy of sharing life with my sweet chocolate Lab, exploring trails, going on countless hikes, and making unforgettable memories together. Our adventures have deepened my love for animals and inspired me to offer that same care and companionship to your pup. Whether it’s a calm walk or a lively visit, I bring experience, patience, and genuine love to every pet I care for. I work fully remote, which allows me the flexibility to incorporate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I currently have three fun-loving pups at home who keep me company and make my work breaks extra joyful with playtime and cuddles. I'm available for evening walks, and if needed, I can stay at your home during the day—bringing my laptop along so your pet has company while I work. Your furry friend will get all the love and attention they deserve, just like my own. When staying in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care as I would my own. I understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your space, and I take that responsibility seriously. Your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priorities—I’ll follow your routines closely, keep a watchful eye, and ensure they feel relaxed and loved while you’re away. You can count on a clean, calm environment when you return and the peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, capable hands.

“We are so glad that we found Olivia. It was great to be able to keep our senior dog in the comfort of her own home. She wasn't intimidated by our dog, who is friendly but is large with a big bark. She was reliable and a very kind person. We would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs.”


“Sharon was amazing! She was able to house sit for us and watch over our 3 medium sized dogs. She communicated very well, always sending pictures and updates. Our fur babies loved her and would absolutely use her services again!”


About: I have 20+ years of experience caring for both small and large breed animals. I have a very special place in my heart for seniors, big dogs, little dogs and I adore puppies. I am flexible, super responsive, trustworthy and am comfortable administering pet medications. Caring for your pet is an absolute honor and a joy for me! **If you do not see open availability on a particular date for which you would like to request my services, please message me and I will let you know if I am able to accommodate your pet’s needs** I am currently a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule that allows me to spend time with your pet during the daytime Monday-Friday 8:30-2pm, evenings and most weekends. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or specific requests - I’d love to help! I respond ASAP and appreciate each opportunity to offer my services whenever I can. My pets are family and your pets are, too! I love really getting to know your pet’s personality and their unique needs. I will work closely with you to make sure they are comfortable and happy while you are at work or away.

“Had some last minute Mother’s Day plans and it was difficult getting a sitter the day before. Christina accepted in a short notice and stayed home with my dogs(one has separation anxiety and cannot be left alone) the entire time. Was a bit skeptical to go since there were no reviews yet but I am glad it all went good! Definitely recommend her! 😊”


“Leigha was a pleasure to have at our home while we were away!! She went above and beyond for caring for Toby as well as our home. She was extremely professional in assuming that Toby’s needs were constantly met. She kept us updated on Toby during the weekend and we had complete confidence in having her stay at our home. We 100% will be utilizing Leigha’s services in the future!! Anyone booking Leigha will be as satisfied as we were!!!”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and deep understanding of pets at every stage of life. I’ve helped train puppies with consistency and positive reinforcement, building healthy habits from the start. I’ve also cared for multiple senior dogs, providing the patience, gentle handling, and special attention they need—whether it’s administering medication, managing mobility, or simply making sure they’re comfortable and loved. I treat every pet like my own, and I take pride in creating a calm, reliable environment they can trust. My schedule is wide open, which means I can be fully present, flexible, and attentive to their needs, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of love and playtime, and follow any specific instructions you provide—whether that’s administering medication, taking daily walks, or just giving them some extra cuddles. I also keep your space clean and respect your home like it’s my own. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.

About: I genuinely enjoy the time spent interacting with dogs. They all have their own personalities that I can assess fairly quickly. I've never had issues with dogs in the past and understand the psychology behind most of their behaviors. I have adopted and trained my current German Shepard Leia. She is not only one of the smartest dogs I've been blessed to have, but also the most playful, loyal and outgoing. Besides the joy that unconditional loving animals like dogs provide, I'd like to use my free time to provide a service for dog owners who need their pets to be walked, trained and looked after I work 4 days of the week and am looking to provide services on my days off Saturday-Monday. I attend to my pets needs throughout the whole week Exercise and play are always important for a happy dog. Allowing them to exert energy while also giving them attention reinforces your bond with them and the respect they will give you as their owner/caretaker

“First time using Rover for our 1yo shepherd. Natalie was a strong communicator, timely, and reliable for an overnight stay in our home. Jax was walked both days for over 1 mile along with playtime. Would definitely use Natalie again!”


About: I have extensive knowledge when it comes to caring for pets of all different types. From growing up with cats and dogs, to saving injured birds, I have seen a lot and done a lot for the betterment of all animals. I will treat every animal as if they were my own. I am currently a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to spend with any fur baby that comes my way. The fenced in yard will be an amazing place for any pups to run around in and I do enjoy walking so having a companion would always be welcomed. My yard is over 8,000 square feet, fenced in, and I have a little pup now that would enjoy extra company. I have plenty of space indoors in case of any crating needs. I have nursed sick and injured animals back to health as my love for animals runs deep.
