We were able to relax and enjoy vacation knowing Scott was taking good care of our kitty. We got updates and a lot of pictures while we were away. We will definitely be using Scott again!

About: I’ve had 1-2 dogs since birth — and my own babies came home from the hospital greeted by our pup, Mister Beef Wellington (Wellie) as well. I believe that my life and the lives of my children are better and more fulfilling with a dog along for the ride. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I own my own business that I do part-time in between caring for my two daughters. Ideal clients are ones that like other dogs and children as that opens up my availability more as they’d tag along on walks or pop ins (if you’re comfortable with that!) I have a fenced yard and a very mild mannered Cavalier King Charles Spaniel to keep your pup company. Happy to let your dog in / out of crate, feed them, play, etc.

This was our first time using Rover and Krista exceeded all of our expectations with her care of our 2 cats. She followed all of our care instructions, gave frequent and thorough updates, and made us feel confident that our cats were safe. We would absolutely work with Krista again for future trips!

About: 🐾 I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, and I started dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors when I was 10. When I got my own dog at 14, I fell in love with training and taught her over 20 tricks through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Over the years, I’ve built strong relationships with both pets and owners, and I’ve been lucky to receive referrals from people who trust me with their dogs. I love making sure dogs are not just cared for, but genuinely happy and engaged. Whether that’s walks, playtime, enrichment games, training practice, or just giving them lots of attention and affection, I always try to match each dog’s personality and energy level. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I always want them to feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. I’m a college student currently on summer break, so I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care is something I truly look forward to every day. I’m also studying Animal Science, which has made me even more passionate about animal care and behavior. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and comfort levels, and I’ll treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: I've cared for two dogs as I grew up, and look forward to caring for more. I have done many long walks and dog park hiking with my golden doodle, and have also done some training as well. I know how to take care of puppies and adult dogs, but would love to learn how to take care of special needs and senior dogs. Dogs, like mine, are energetic and need lots of exercise, so I am always willing to play or exercise with dogs. Over the summer (June-August), I am free most afternoons and some evenings the whole week. During the school year, (September-May) I am more available during the weekends, but still free during some afternoon/evenings during the week, which I'll update as I get my schedule. At home, I care for my dog by giving him plenty of snuggles, but also getting up and playing with him when he lets me know he wants to play. I am alert and can sense what my dog may need, such as going potty, playing, or eating. When walking/going to the dog park, I watch over my dog at all times, and walk along with him. During walks, I make sure that he is safe to walk and sniff the whole time. At dog parks, I encourage him to meet other dogs and run around while still being present. I notice when my dog gets tired or needs water, and I am prepared by bringing a water bottle.

Caroline took great care of my cat, Monty! She fed him and gave him plenty of attention. He wasn’t nearly as mad when we returned as he normally is. Caroline also left our house exactly as we left it and brought in a package that was delivered while we were gone. Highly recommend!

About: I have a dog and cat of my own and always take care of family and friends animals when I get the opportunity to do so! My schedule is very flexible and open throughout the week. I genuinely love caring for pets, so I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine and give animals consistent attention, playtime, and care whenever needed. I make sure to abide by any rules set by the owners and treat the animals with kindness, compassion, and care. They are the #1

About: Animals have always been a constant source of comfort and joy in my life. From the time I was born, I’ve been surrounded by pets—starting with cats, then adding a cheerful bird to the mix, and later sharing my home with multiple dogs and even a reptile. I've also had experience watching over friends and family members pets while they are away. Each experience has deepened my understanding of different animal personalities and how to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Caring for pets comes naturally to me. I’m attentive to their routines, responsive to their needs, and committed to providing a calm, nurturing environment while their owners are away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own and take pride in ensuring they feel secure and cared for. Beyond pets, I’m very much a homebody at heart and truly value a comfortable, cared-for space. I’m naturally clean, considerate, and compassionate toward any home I stay in. With a career in graphic design, I work fully remote, which means I have the flexibility to give plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets and home. Friends and family describe me as dependable, detail-oriented, caring, and easy to communicate with. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, keeping up with routines, and administering medications, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I do not offer house sitting in my own home. When house sitting for others, I take detailed notes on expectations, requirements and rules to ensure that your fur baby and your home are being cared for at the fullest capacity. Daily check-ins are provided, and i'm more than willing to do anything additional to ensure that you feel at peace while you are away.
