About: I am very intuitive to what animals needs are. I’m patient and pets safety is my top priority! Comforting animals is a blessing that I can’t get enough of! My hours are a bit flexible but I am mainly have a lot of free time on Mondays & Fridays from 2-7. Saturdays and Sundays I am completely available. First off, I always read the directions multiple times. Make sure their food and leashes are easy to find. Then I always check the backyard before letting a dog out. I want to be sure there are no gaps in the fences or any other large wildlife they may want to chase. If in case of emergency, I would love to know what veterinary practice is used and emergency contacts if I’m not able to make direct contact.
“I cannot recommend Lillian enough! She was absolutely wonderful to our 2 dogs and 3 cats for housesitting. So responsive and kind, the peace of mind while away was an incredible comfort.”
“I'm very satisfied with Alex house sitting today and taking good care of my little girl, Lucy. She was very attentive to her needs and also cleaned my house. I happily recommend Alex and will definitely call on her again in the future.”
“Tommy did an excellent job caring for our cat and 3 pups, one of which is a puppy. We don’t leave them with others very often so we were a little concerned the day would be stressful for them, especially for our 12 year old lab. Fortunately, we were happy to find all of them in perfectly content moods when we got home. They didn’t seem to care at all that we’d been gone. In addition, our home was left in immaculate shape, despite it being a muddy, rainy day. 10/10, will book again!”
“Rachel is great. She clearly loves dogs, and our boy Rufus responded really well to her gentle deneanor. She was communicative and easy to deal with in terms of appointment set up. We look forward to working with her again!”
About: Ive taken care of my families dogs for the last 15 years and always made sure they were well cared for. Friends also entrusted me with the care of their animals knowing that I am no stranger to difficult animals and messy situations. I have also been a volunteer at local animal shelters and know how to handle larger and more difficult to walk animals. I have a senior dog now so I also understand the care that goes into helping animals who are struggling I have a dog in my home who has a torn ACL. He has difficulty with stairs and walks so I ice his leg daily and carry him up the stairs. I make sure also to feed him his medication and ensure he is always comfortable given his aches and pains. While I cannot do boarding, within other homes, I will walk and play with animals constantly. I love interacting with pets and find joy in spending time doing what animals love, whether it be snuggled up on the floor, playing tug of war or going on long walks. Any dietary needs or medical care animals require I am well equipped and prepared for all the above
“Ashley came to my rescue. Agreed to come to a last minute meet and greet and followed through on that after another sitter had fallen through. Kept me up to date while i was away and it was clear the animals accepted her as if she was one that belonged. Would definitely work with Ashley again. Thank you.”
“Abbie is friendly, flexible and communicated great! We knew our pups were in good hands. She sent us pictures and updated us while we were away. Highly recommend her and will absolutely be using her in the future, thank you Abbie ☺️”
“Emma was amazing with our 4 kitties. She sent daily updates and pictures. She is very caring and professional. She is for sure an animal lover! I do not trust many people with our fur babies, but I trust Emma 100%. The moment we met her we knew that our Kitties would be in the best hands! We will for sure be booking with her in the future. I whole heartedly recommend Emma!”

I currently have two dogs and two cats and a betta fish. I have experience with large dogs like my Saint Bernard boxer mix and small dogs like my frenchie. I’ve also had experience caring for an elderly dog the past feed years administering medication frequently and cleaning her ears.

About: I have had pets in my home for as long as I can remember, and throughout my time in my childhood home I cared for 6 cats and 3 dogs. I have working experience caring for reptiles, birds, and fish, and currently own two cute kitties and two wonderful dogs I am currently between full-time positions and have plenty of time to care for your animals. Whether it is cats, dogs, or something a little more exotic, I am free weekdays and weekends to make sure your fur (or not!) family gets the care they deserve. While I am with your animals, I provide the utmost care and attention to them while giving them engaging play or cuddles as they need. I send update texts during each visit and lock up tight when I leave so the kiddos are safe and secure.
About: I’ve cared for many of my own pets, more than just dogs and cats. Family and family friends have relied on me to watch their pets while on vacay. One of which is on 2 meds morning and night. With puppies I can do simple training I’m currently unemployed, so my availability is open to care for the fur babies that can’t do it all for themselves. Your furbabies routine becomes my routine My fur baby, Milo gets fresh water daily, refill food as needed, scoop litter every other day. And when it’s time to clean up after him everything gets a good wash especially the litter box because I myself cannot let that get disgusting. He gets his nails trimmed by me, and bathed from time to time
“Amber was an amazing house and pet sitter! She is extremely conscientious and treats your home and pets as if they are hers. We have never returned from a trip with the house so clean and tidy, and with our pets so calm. We have two needy cats and an anxious dog who takes time getting to know new people, and within less than 24 hours, all three pets were so comfortable with Amber. She sent us photos and updates, and was easy to communicate with. Honestly the best Rover experience we have ever had!”
About: Hi my name is Averi, I have been around animals my entire life but have the most experience with dogs. I do have a charcoal lab of my own who is now a certified service animal that travels around to nursing homes and comforts those in need of puppy love. I recently got back from traveling abroad and am looking for a side job to back up my part time job! I have a 11 month lab of my own so she gets 3 meals a day, plus plenty of exercise to tire her out at night. I make sure to take her on at least one big hike a week to make sure she is getting that experience, and am always taking her into public for socialization I treat others animals as if they were my own, I take pride that I treat animals very well and am always willing to do anything to make sure the owners is as comfortable as can be. I believe that in order to make an animal act right they need to feel comfortable and safe, which requires patience and a soft hand.

I have a fenced in yard that has been hound proofed for any escape artists. I strictly monitor all animals while they are outside as well as inside. Inside I have a gated play room with toys and a lounge for animals and I while indoors. For outside of my home I follow strict care instructions and close if not constant monitoring of animals

Eva B.
“Eva has pet sat for my sweet boy (cat), Simon, periodically for over a year. Initially I was nervous because he is a shy boy, but Eva is a true animal whisperer and he took right to her! Each time she stays with him I receive frequent picture updates which gives me peace of mind - not too mention she is a gifted photographer! I feel so much less anxiety going out of town knowing I can always rely on her to watch Simon. She is very friendly and personable and a pleasure to work with- would recommend!”

“Testimonial for Cookie’s Hounds I cannot recommend Brooke highly enough! From the moment I met them, I felt an instant connection and knew my furry friend would be in great hands. Brooke is not only incredibly professional but also genuinely loves animals, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. During my trip, I received regular updates and adorable photos of my dog, Angel which made my time away so much easier. It was clear that Brooke took the time to engage with Angel, ensuring she was happy, healthy, and well-exercised. They even went above and beyond by sticking to Angel’s routine, which I truly appreciated. When I returned home, Angel was relaxed and content, a testament to the wonderful care he received. I could tell she had formed a bond with Brooke, and I felt grateful knowing he was loved and cared for just like she would be at home. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive dog sitter, look no further than Brooke, I will definitely be booking their services again in the future! Thank you, Brooke, for taking such fantastic care of my fur baby! Warm regards, [Your Name][Your Contact Information][Optional: Your Dog’s Name]”
