“Alice was so kind, and as soon as I met her I could tell she has a great heart and a caring spirit! She made the process of setting up a meet and greet totally smooth, and had me feeling confident and comfortable being away from my senior kitty. She followed instructions perfectly and handled things great, even though I had no cell service during the sitting so she had no way to ask questions if they came up. Her positivity and attentiveness were very appreciated--I wasn't worried about not having cell service at all! When I got home everything was as clean and orderly as I left it, and my cat was cozied up and content. I'm a bit of a neat freak so I particularly appreciate Alice leaving things so tidy!”


“James was wonderful taking care of our house and animals. Took great care of our dog with walks and cuddles, and played with our cat and made sure they got outdoor time. He is super responsive and was a pleasure to meet. We will definitely be reaching out again when the time comes.”


“Isabella has been fantastic with our cat. She took time to understand what my kitty likes and real helped her feel confident while we were away. We will definitely rebook.”


“Susana is so sweet and professional, a wonderful pet sitter and we will definitely be contacting her again to watch our pets! And the pets loved her so much.”


“Kim had great communication the entire time! She sent me pictures of Jojo (which definitely brightened my day and alleviated some of my worry). After feeding she let me know how she was doing. She was also punctual. I felt like I had left my girl in good hands!!”


“Ellie was above and beyond. She was a very respectful and caring sitter. Our dog doesn’t do well with change and had some trouble eating while we were away and she was very kind and patient in getting her to eat. She took her on lots of walks and played with her often. I know she had a good time while we were gone and we felt very comfortable that she took the best care of our beloved girl. Ellie is very reliable and I highly recommend her!”

“Erich and Sarah did a great job watching our two dogs. Our dogs were treated to multiple walks a day and lots of outside time. We felt very comfortable leaving them for two weeks and never had to worry whether they were being well taken care of. Erich and Sarah also did a great job taking care of our home. They went above and beyond what we had asked of them and left us with vases of flowers from our garden around the house. We came home to a perfectly clean home, which was so nice after a long time away. Even our neighbors commented on how nice of a job they did taking care of things while we were away!

About: I’ve owned animals since I was 12 years old. I have 13 years of pet care experience for many animals, including dogs. I got my first dog when I was 13 years old. She lived a long, happy life and was my best friend. Now that she’s gone, I have time to look after other people’s pets. As a former dog owner, I understand the importance of finding someone reliable and trustworthy to look after your dog. You wouldn’t want just anyone looking after them. After all, dogs aren’t just pets, they’re family. Rest assured, your furbaby will receive the same high-quality care I give to my animals. Your dog will be in good hands with me. :) I’m currently unemployed, so my schedule is free all week. I’m a great choice if you need last-minute or long-term pet care due to my open, flexible schedule. I will follow your pet care instructions to the T. Your pets will be given the proper care they deserve. Rest assured, your pets will receive as much love and care as I give my own. I take my responsibility as a petsitter seriously, and I take pride in my work. Your pets will be in good hands with me.

“Molly was great! Super responsive, flexible, and a great communicator! She sent great pics while she was caring for our kitty, and it’s clear our cat bonded with her right away. We felt great knowing Akira was being well looked after while we were away. Would absolutely book again and recommend!”


About: Since I was a kid, I've loved animals. I have taken care of animals for family and friends from a very young age, and I have always lived with a dog and/or cat in my home. I am dependable, responsive, and excited to meet any new furry friends. With a degree in environmental science and a career with the US Forest Service, I have worked with a variety of animals and have even taken some courses on animal behavior. I will approach your pet with patience, love, and experience. I typically work a normal Monday thru Friday schedule, with some flexibility. Working right here in Zigzag, it is easy for me to break away to check in with your pets or take them on a quick walk during the day! I am free during evenings and weekends. I am happy to care for your pet however you wish. I have crate trained, potty trained, and cared for pets in their old age. I am a very active person who loves to hike, walk, and run, and would love to take your pet out for an adventure!

“Aaron was great with our White German Shepard and our kitty. He communicated very well and checked in daily sending pictures. We felt very comfortable on our trip knowing our girls were in good hands. We will hire him again! Thank you Aaron!”


About: I have a deep admiration for all sorts of animals, including dogs as I am an aspiring Zoologist. I am willing to adjust to the needs of any dog any there preferences and am excited to play and take care of them. I am currently a full time student however I am available on the weekends and usually during the weekday I am available either in the morning or mid day. The only times i’m really unavailable is if I’m in one of my classes which I will let you know about upon booking! When caring for your pets in your home, my top priorities are their safety, your trust, and a stress-free environment. I ensure safety keeping dogs securely leashed on walks and following all medical/dietary needs. To build trust, I provide regular updates, respect your home, and stick to your pet’s routine. I maintain a calm environment by keeping feeding, walks, and playtime consistent, and I always clean up after pets. Every pet receives personalized care, whether they need energetic play or gentle patience. You can relax knowing they’re in reliable hands.

“Sierra took great care of my big dog Bella overnight at my home, as a trial run for a longer trip i have planned. Sierra was very respectful and tidy in my home and handled my big dog Bella with confidence and ease. My dog was calm and happy when I returned and I'm so glad Sierra will be taking care of her during my longer trip. I now have one less thing to worry about!”

“I am a Rover sitter myself, so I have high standards when it comes to finding someone to watch my own pets. Cailyn was a coworker of mine so I already knew she was reliable and responsible, and she was my first choice when we went away for a long weekend. Though all three of our animals are seniors with plenty of quirks to their personalities, routines, and care needs, Cailyn was more than up to the task! Our furry family was happy and healthy when we got back home, just as if we had been there ourselves. I highly recommend Cailyn for your pet care needs.”

I will certainly be utilizing her pet care services again!”
