About: I've wanted to be a veterinarian since I could talk. I've always loved animals. I chose another career path, but I work part-time, on weekends. My kids are all self sufficient, so now I can devote more time to things I enjoy: playing with, and caring for animals. I am currently working part-time, weekends only, so I am available Monday through Friday for all of your pet care needs. Please let me help! I have a fully fenced in yard, 6 foot privacy fence. I have a pup who's 13 weeks that would love the company of your furry friends.

About: I have taken care of dogs and other pets for many years and also worked at the zoo! I love animals and have passion to care for what you love. I will treat each animal like my own, and ensure your love is felt from wherever you are! I am in school currently to get my doctorate in physical therapy, but I have a lot of time to care and help for your furry family members! I have a very open schedule! I will ensure all boundaries are approved by the client and my own. I have a fence and a safe area as well as will send updates to the client as much as possible. I will do my best to be the best sitter and always go above and beyond.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and have always ended up having dogs that are in some cases special needs. I truly love to be around animals because their happiness is so pure. I am a nurse by day and an animal cuddler by night. I am able to give medication’s. I work on basic commands. I have taken care of dogs from puppies to senior. If there is something specific that needs to be taken care of while taking care of your loved one, I will definitely work something out. I am currently taking a vacation between my travel contract for nursing and will be available throughout the day. If there is a specific time or day that works best for you, I will try to make it as easy on you as possible. I typically will have the animal on a leash if there is not a fenced in backyard. Of course, depending on the situation I will allow the owner to guide me on how they prefer to have the animal leashed and will take the precautions necessary to keep them safe.


“Ruth was wonderful. Our dog needs medicine at set times, has separation anxiety, and doesn't like just anyone. Ruth stayed overnight and our dog was calm & relaxed when we returned home after 2 1/2 days. Ruth followed our instructions, gave us numerous updates & photos, and took excellent care of our dog and our house. We will be contacting Ruth the next time we need a pet sitter.”



About: I’ve cared for animals for 42 of my 47 years. I love cats and dogs and I’m looking forward to helping your animals be happy and healthy.

“Rheanna was such a perfect fit! She took initiative and wasn’t fazed by my pups’ behaviors. She was confident and communicative, and that really helped me to sit back and enjoy my trip. This is the best Rover experience I’ve had in a long time, and I am so thankful that I found Rehanna! I highly recommend her to any and all pet parents! 🫶”

About: You know when you walk by a dog, he starts walking towards you, trying to drag their owner towards you, and you know he just wants to say hello and be pet? My thought process is the same as the dogs every time I pass one. Nine times out of ten I will stop, ask the owner if it's alright to pet their dog, then sit and chat with them and love on the dog for a while. (And I only chat to pet the dog longer). All my life I have heard many cases of, "Don't touch my cat or he'll scratch you" or "Watch out for the dog, he growls at everyone" and before my visit is over I have the cat in my lap and the dog following me where ever I go. My fiancée calls me Dr. Doolittle.

Nick O.
“I can’t recommend Nick highly enough as a pet caregiver. He has a natural gift when it comes to animals, patient, attentive, and full of love. From the first time I saw him interact with a dog, it was clear how much he genuinely cares for their happiness and well-being. Whether it’s going on long walks, playing fetch, or just giving belly rubs and snuggles, Nick truly goes above and beyond to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. Nick is also incredibly responsible. He always shows up on time, follows instructions to the letter, and checks in with updates and photos to keep you in the loop. It gives such peace of mind knowing that your pet is not only being looked after, but is being treated like part of the family. He’s handled everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need medication and a gentler touch, always with compassion and professionalism. Beyond that, Nick is just a kind and trustworthy person. He creates a calm, positive environment that animals are naturally drawn to. My own dog absolutely lights up when Nick comes around, and that says everything. You won’t find someone more dedicated or more genuine. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pet like their own, Nick is your guy. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my fur baby in his care again, and I know they’d be wagging their tail the whole time.”

Ron H.
“Ron and I were roommates for several years. Ron had a pittie and I owned a French Mastiff. Through the years of living under the same roof and both of us owning dogs, I have true first hand, day to day knowledge of just how amazing Ron is with dogs. Ron's dog Loki had possibly an allergy of some kind and I would see Ron giving Loki his meds like clock work. Ron always fed Loki quality dog food. Loki never lacked for love, attention, and was well behaved due to Ron being so diligent with him. Kind and caring. Ron earned my trust immediately and I would leave my Mastiff, Aubrey in his care. I NEVER left my Aubrey with anyone, ever. Aubrey adored him. Loki adored him. Ron was attentive to every tiny thing about Loki (and Aubrey) and so when he spotted a tiny lump on Loki, to the vets they went. Loki had cancer and he didn't waste one minute to have it removed. Ron was extremely vigilant watching over Loki (although, he obviously always did) and if there were any question or doubt, off to the vets he would go. I could not name one single person who I would trust more with my dog than Ron. Ron loves dogs with a passion that you only see in a handful of people.”
