Mary is a fantastic dog sitter! She took such good care of our dog and sent us beautiful photographs. It was so wonderful knowing that our dog was being taken care of by such a loving and responsible sitter. I highly recommend!

About: My approach matches the energy of the animal and meets them on a level they’re ready for. I have specifically spent most of my time taking care of and learning more about cats. I’ve had animals my entire life, and have petsat for several years now! Safety and trust with your animal is my primary concern. Animals are integral to my life and always have been. I wake up and go to bed with my cat, and the dogs fits into my every day. Whether I’m physically there or thinking of them, their health and happiness means the most to me. Currently, my schedule is very open, especially during the weekdays! I listen to what they’re telling me. I focus on safety, patience, and trust in building a relationship, and I’m happy to start that at whatever distance or level they want to.

Pam was a great dog sitter! She saved us! At the last minute, a Rover sitter canceled and I contacted Pam and she immediately came over and agreed to watch the dogs. I knew they were in good hands when I met her. She is kind and sent pictures while we were away. Pam we really appreciate you!

About: I have loved animals ever since i was a little girl. I took care of my childhood cat for thirteen years, which unfortunately passed away last year. We've had a family dog named Miley for about seven years, which also i've sitting for when my parents was away. My sister has a cat named Expo, who is the most adorable and sweetest thing ever. i'm currently working part-time. so i'll have plenty of time for your doggies or kitties to get some attention! I'm currently only available Mondays through Thursdays! When i'm sitting any animal i make sure they get enough food and water. When dogs specifically have a lot of energy they can go outside as long as the owner have a fenced in yard to make sure they get their energy out and have a really good sleep later in the day.

Natalie is nothing short of amazing. She really does treat your pet like it’s her own. She stayed at our home with our 1 year old golden retriever who is FULL of energy and I never felt like he was stuck in the house or bored. He seemed comfortable and happy based on the photos she sent us! I want to gate keep her all to myself but 10000/10 recommend to all pet owners!

She was great! She came over earlier in the week to learn everything about our fur babies. She came over several times day to let out our dog. She sent us pictures and updates often throughout the day. She even checked in to see when we would be heading home to see if she needed to come one more time. She also respected our wishes of wearing a mask in the house. We highly recommend her and will be using her in the future!

We had an outstanding experience with Star as our house and dog sitter. From start to finish, her professionalism, reliability, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dog, Millie, received exceptional attention, exercise, and affection, and it was clear upon our return that she had been very well cared for. In addition, our home was maintained impeccably. Everything was in excellent order, and we truly appreciated the level of respect and responsibility shown throughout. Communication was consistent and thoughtful, with regular updates that kept us reassured. We would highly recommend Star to anyone seeking a trustworthy and dedicated house and pet sitter. Her commitment to both our pet's well-being and our home's care was exemplary, and we would not hesitate to book her services again. Without a doubt, this was our very best house sitting and dog sitting experience in our 25 years of pet ownership.

About: I have been a dog and cat owner/lover/advocate my whole life. I miss having my own pets so much so I pet sit during our travels and while we are home too! I’m a massage therapist and energy worker so animals LOVE my touch and calming presence. I’m very active and love long walks. I’m totally comfortable with large dogs. I have retired early so my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to travel to pet sits. I tend to do pet sitting in Florida during the months of January and February. I love having dogs and cats in my home. There is a little river behind my house and the national forest and Sherando Lake Recreation Area is just beyond the river so there’s lots of space for long walks. Pets will get lots of loving care, tons of cuddles, and undivided attention while under my care and I will walk for as long and far as your dog (or cat) wants to.
