“Celine was great! She stayed with our pups all day, sent pictures and kept us in the loop. We’re very appreciative of her, and our pups loved her company all day. Looking forward to their next time with her!”

About: I have been caring for animals for most of my life, growing up on a dairy farm where I was responsible for the daily care of a variety of animals. This experience taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to detail when caring for pets. In addition to my farm background, I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and neighbors while they are away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while their owners are gone. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am committed to following each pet's routine and ensuring they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I work full-time during the week and maintain a consistent schedule, which allows me to provide reliable pet care services. I am generally available in the evenings, on weekends, and during select weekdays depending on my schedule. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate the needs of both pets and their owners whenever possible. Please feel free to reach out regarding availability, as I am happy to discuss scheduling and find a time that works for everyone. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I understand the trust involved in leaving your pet in someone else's care. I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while maintaining the routines and expectations you have for your pet. I live in a quiet area with access to safe walking routes and outdoor spaces for exercise and enrichment. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a companion nearby, I will tailor their care to their individual needs and personality. I will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet's stay so you can have peace of mind knowing they are being cared for as if they were my own.

“Alexa was so good with our babies! We have 5 dogs, half of them crazy and needy and she handled all of them like a champ! One of them is very nervous with new people, and she was so patient in letting him get used to her and he quickly got over it lol. She really cared about our babies and they all loved her. Will definitely be asking her back!”

“We did a meet and greet prior to leaving our girls. They loved Morgan immediately. When Morgan arrived today, the girls greeted her tails wagging '. We came home to two very happy pups. Thanks Morgan.”

“Tara was great and super accommodating. Our pup took to her right away. Usually she has a fit of separation anxiety when we leave, but not with Tara. They had a good evening together. We recommend Tara highly and would use her again.”

About: I worked at PetSmart for approximately 5 years & have experience with basic grooming needs. I have grown up with both dogs & cats & am always the one friends/family call when they are in need of someone to watch their babies. I truly just love animals of all varieties. I work from home & am able to stay with your pets while you are out of town or at work yourself. I can check in on them during the day, take them for walks, & ensure they are fed and well loved. I am also able to stay at your home when needed. I am happy to abide by whatever guidelines you set to ensure your baby is safe & your home is well cared for as well.

“Jill is so excellent with our Frannie, who is just a puppy and unsure about new things. We love knowing Frannie is happy and safe when we travel!”

“Eileen was fantastic! She was very attentive to our boys and kept in close contact with us the entire weekend. She also sent lots of photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I have been around animals my entire life, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. I also have experience caring for senior dogs. My own dog has since passed away, but I helped care for him throughout his later years, which taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and providing extra comfort and support. Because of this experience, I am comfortable giving medications, helping pets stick to their routines, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and affection. Whether that means going on walks, playing fetch, providing  activities, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply spending quality time cuddling and keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Since I am currently a college student and school is out, I have a lot of free time and a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. I also work as a babysitter, but Rover is my top priority job. I make sure to schedule my time carefully so that every pet receives the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, or simply spending quality time together, I am committed to providing reliable and attentive care. Because of my flexible availability, I can easily accommodate different routines and help pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have three cats who, despite not paying rent, are very well taken care of! Caring for them is a big part of my daily routine. I make sure they receive their daily feedings, fresh water, interactive playtime, plenty of attention, and daily litter box cleanings to keep their environment clean and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible so their pets feel safe and comfortable. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, administering medications if needed, and providing lots of love and companionship. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel cared for while their owners are away. My goal is always to provide dependable care, maintain a clean environment, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Jen was wonderful with our dog Daisy. She was very caring and nurturing and following her routine. Daisy seemed to be very happy while we were away!”

“Ryen was great. She constantly communicated so I never had to ask for an update or picture of Tobey. I will definitely use her services again.”

About: I’ve always had pets since I was a toddler. I’ve always took care of my pets, my grandparents pets & I’m really good with animals. I’m usually always available! I’m self employed and do instacart, doordash, Rover, Uber, Uber Eats, etc so I can usually fit anything into my schedule! I have a yard. (It’s not fenced in yet, working on it.) I’m a huge animal person so your animals will always be well taken care of & loved in my care.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of animals ever since I was a child including dogs, cats, and farm animals. I have extensive experience in handling and caretaking of dogs. I volunteer and walk dogs at animal shelters near me. I am available any day of the week at this time. I can board, walk and sit for animals in my home or their owner’s homes. My first and foremost concern is the animals wellbeing. So I can go to their home if that’s the best option for them and the owner. I can also board in my home. I currently have 1 senior cat who is rather shy but has been around dogs and other cats in the past. I have a big yard where I can take and walk dogs outside to play and exercise. I could also crate if it’s needed.

About: I have raised and taken care of all kinds of dogs from Collies to German shepherds to beagles. I love walking dogs and caring for them. I work from home and I am home almost every night. I can walk your dogs multiple times throughout the day. I can take dogs on multiple bathroom breaks throughout the day. I can easily feed your dog or cat multiple times throughout the day and night. I have administered prescriptions for dogs and cats numerous times. I love taking care of pets.

“Jamie was amazing! It was our first time getting a sitter so we were definitely very nervous. But she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Her apartment was clean and spacious. She even sent us pictures and made a video of the dog! I can’t Recomended Jamie enough! Thank you so much.”

About: I’ve had experience with training puppies and dealing with aggressive dogs and animals of all ages. I’ve also worked with cats and have learned how to accommodate any needs they might need! I’m currently available Monday to Sunday from 11am. As long as it’s within a 24 hour notice, I can definitely work around your schedule anytime! I always love carrying snacks, toilet bags, and water for dogs and providing occasional treats! I’m also very patient with all animals and love playing with them!

About: I was raised on an animal farm so my family has had almost every animal you can think of! I love animals so much & I would love to help take care of your furry friend while they are waiting for your return :) I will try my best to work with your schedule! Right now, my job is flexible, so figured this would be another great flexible part time job have :) I don't mind coming to your house if it’s easier! OR they are free to roam my clean house! Each week is relaxing but I can honestly say that having so much free time can be boring so this would be a lovely addition to my weekly routine. I let your dog snuggle with me and watch movies if they like! If they aren’t a snuggle bunny then they can roam my house and choose a cozy section their prefer!
