“Shea was AMAZING! She met with me and my cat Willy before the scheduled Rover Kitty Sitting. She was very thorough and we immediately connected. This was our first meeting and I felt completely comfortable giving her a key to my house. She did not disappoint. After she left I found my cat missing her and sleeping in the bedroom she stayed in. That told me a lot about how she cared for Willy. Highly recommend Shea!”

“Anna was a godsend while we were out of town! She stayed at our house and we came back to it cleaner than when we left. She sent updates and pictures every day, which left us feeling at ease so we could fully enjoy our trip. Finding someone to house and pet sit can be stressful, but we are so glad we found Anna. I highly recommend her… we will definitely reach back out when we need a sitter in the future! Thank you, Anna🩷🩷”

“Leslie is wonderful! My senior cat had recently recovered from an emergency surgery and I was feeling really anxious about leaving him for a week, but Leslie took such good care of him and my other kitty- I was able to enjoy my vacation worry free. She sent daily updates and photos which I really appreciated. Leslie is reliable and kind and I am so grateful for the care and attention she provided to my fur babies. I would 1000% reccommend her!”

“Marianne was amazing! She sent us daily updates and photos while we were away. Marianne followed our care instructions and went above and beyond. I’ll certainly be booking with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Jennifer was so awesome with our 2 pups! We have one who is slower to trust and warm up but Jennifer worked her magic! She sent us great updates and the cutest photos while we were away and missing the pups. She also left our house very clean and tidy. She was very responsive and a great communicator.”

“delaney was so wonderful and easy to work with! first of all, my a/c went out while we were gone and she was so patient and helpful with getting it fixed!! and of course she was great with the dogs and we felt so comfortable leaving the dogs in her care. thank you delaney!”

About: Lifelong pet owner with a genuine love for animals. Trusted by friends and family to provide attentive, patient, loving care and treat each pet like my own. I currently have a flexible schedule and am focusing on pet sitting, allowing me to provide dependable care, plenty of attention, and a calm, consistent presence for pets. I treat every pet like my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, playtime, and affection while maintaining their routine so they can feel as safe, comfortable, and happy as they can be while you’re away.
“Maren walked into our house and right into our little pup's heart! Loki loved Maren from the moment she met her and when we arrived home, Loki wasn't sure who she wanted to snuggle more - me or Maren! We had regular communication while we were away - Maren sent photos of all the fun they were having. Our house was super clean when we arrived home and our little cavapoo was a very happy little pooch. We will definitely be reaching out to Maren again - we're happy to have made such a valuable connection for our new pup - and for us!”

About: I've been told by friends who have dogs, that the relationship I've built with their babes is one based on respect. That is because I am someone who is observant, and looks for the right cues before attempting to step into their comfort zone. Which is why when I'm asked to care for their pets, they can trust that I am there to look after them and care for their boundaries. That is also true when it comes to following their pet's routines and habits that are established, as well as having an understanding of their personalities. Every pet is different, it just takes a little time and patience to understand them. I do work from home two days out of the week, Monday through Friday. However, the remote days are flexible, and the rest of the week I am on the field conducting home visits for patients. Therefore whether you need me to house sit, for a day or two I can adjust my schedule to meet that, as long as I have enough notice. Or if you just need me to stop by for a potty break or a walk, I can add it to my route of visits. On weekends, I am available within reason. I am flexible, and I can do my best to accommodate your needs. It just takes a conversation and some planning. In my home, I do have four babes. One dog and three cats. I do have routines for them when it comes to meal times, and potty breaks. For Nani, my dog. She has her breakfast around the same time every morning, which is usually after I am done getting ready for work. Then soon after she finishes her breakfast, she cues me for a potty walk. We go around the block and she does her business and comes back home to a treat and some play before I go to make my breakfast. For my cats, Chachi, Mizu, and Jojo. They get their breakfast right before I take Nani out for her walk, that way they can eat peacefully and take their time without Nani wagging her tail at them. For the rest of the day, If I am working from home Nani gets a mid day walk around our grassy area at home, but usually in the summer she prefers to stay inside. The cats, I do tend to take mental breaks from my laptop, so one of the things I do is play with them with their string and give them a lil catnip for them to relax. Dinner time is a bit more relaxed, the cats have an auto feeder so their dinner serves at 6pm and for Nani, she gets her dinner, and then she cues me for a walk. Usually my husband and I alternate when following these routines, so in the case I'm out pet sitting, I am grateful that my husband will be able to take care of our babies while I care for yours. That is the way I care for my pets, based on their needs. I am big on routines, because that is how I've raised them to be. However every household has different lifestyles and understanding that is important when choosing to care for someone else's pet's.
“We have used Leslie multiple times to watch our 2 dogs. They are always well cared for and happy. I appreciate all the pictures and videos she sends while we're away. :)”
About: Loving, caring home with dogs of my own. I've been a part time pet sitter almost all my life and my passion is dogs but lover of all animals. I can take care of any breed or size dog, no restrictions. There are no children in my home and everyone here loves dogs so them being comfortable here will not be an issue. I always have plenty of different kinds of toys and treats for your specific dogs needs. I can even help teach your loved ones a trick or two, should you be so inclined. My care is top notch and hard to beat! Pet care seamlessly blends into my routine because my daytime job is highly flexible. This open schedule gives me total freedom to dedicate blocks of time to walking dogs, completing drop in visits or checking in on boarding fur babies. While I am starting school in a few weeks, my classes only take up 2.5 hours on two or three evenings per week. This minor commitment ensures I still have maximum availability during high demand daytime hours, plus plenty of completely free nights each week for attentive overnight house sitting! When caring for the animals in your home, my main focus is security, cleanliness, and minimizing separation anxiety. I follow your household rules precisely, ensure all doors and gates are securely locked, and collect your mail or water plants upon request. Each visit includes fresh food and water, a thoroughly scooped litter box or yard cleanup, and plenty of one on one attention through focused playtime and comforting belly rubs!
“Paige was so incredible with our three big dogs, one of whom is reactive and another is a giant puppy. She was communicative and took great care of our home too! She sent lots of pictures and even left us a cute note about her time with the pups :)”


About: Hi! My name is Nicole and I'm a Veterinary Technician with 8 years of experience of pet and house-sitting and a Bachelor's degree in Animal Science. Caring for animals has always been my passion, and I'm excited to offer my care and variety of services for pet owners looking for dependable, experienced care. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of dog and cat breeds, including puppies, seniors, and pets with medical needs. My services include dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, feeding, medication administration if needed, playtime, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and, of course, plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I work full-time as a Veterinary Technician, so I'm primarily available during early mornings, evenings, weekends, and select holidays, with occasional weekday availability depending on my schedule. I'll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet receives the quality care they deserve. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family and look forward to providing reliable, compassionate care that gives you peace of mind while you're away! I'm currently working full-time, and generally work 4 days for 10 hours with weekends off, so I'm a perfect candidate for watching your kiddos during weekend getaways. If your pet is friendly with other pets, I'm also allowed and willing to bring them with me to work so they are in my company all day. I live in an apartment by the lake with lots of great options for walks or runs with your pet, and I'm experienced at staying at clients' homes as well. I can easily take care of your pet however works best for you. I can crate your pet, or I always love cuddles if your pet usually sleeps on the bed.
“Laura was amazing with my dogs! I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Dogsitter! She sent photos/videos and updates throughout the day and I knew they were in great hands. Thank you Laura!”

About: I've grown up with dogs throughout childhood and have one of my own now! I'm comfortable with all ages, sizes, and breeds. Cats are a newer addition to my animal-loving self and I would love the opportunity to grow even closer by taking care of them! I work full time in office 5am-3:30pm Monday-Thursday, 5am-1:30pm on Fridays. Completely free Saturdays and Sundays. I am available for drop in services, walking, overnight stays, and house sitting. I have a dog of my own that is territorial of her space so we don't let other pets stay over for that reason. You can rely on me to give your pet the care they need. Each pet is unique to what they need in order for them to feel comfortable. I'm here to be a caregiver, cuddle bug, provider, or simply a safety net for those who don't want a lot of attention but know I'm there for any possible scenario.
“Janna was great! She provided updates every day on how Toby and Tilly were doing with pictures of them. She left me a letter on how it went. She also let me know when she had a concern about Toby, which I really appreciated. I definitely will ask Janna to sit again next time I am going away! Thank you so much Janna got your excellent care of Toby and Tilly!”


“We had a great experience with our sitter! She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our pet was well cared for and getting plenty of attention. Her communication made the entire experience completely stress-free, and we were able to enjoy our trip without worrying. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

Annalyse was so sweet! She was very flexible with my crazy work schedule and even stayed late because I got out of work late. She updated me periodically throughout the day and asked permission if Dorito could go on car rides/have a pup cup. She is very trustworthy!

Rachelle was amazing! From my initial contact, all the way through to the end, she was excellent with communication and updates. This was our first time using a pet sitter in our home and Rachelle definitely took care of us! I would not hesitate to use her services again 👍🏼

Madi was just amazing! We have two senior dogs and she jumped right in to love them while we were traveling. She was on top of all of their meds and sent lots of pictures keeping us updated on how they were doing. Thank you so much Madi! We will definitely book again!
Elisia was absolutely wonderful with Churchill, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the beginning, she was professional, dependable, communicative, and, most importantly, it was immediately obvious how genuinely she cares about animals. Leaving your dog in someone else’s care always requires a tremendous amount of trust, and Elisia made that incredibly easy. She didn’t simply “watch” Churchill — she treated him with real affection, attention, and care, and consistently went above and beyond what I ever would have expected. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing he was safe, happy, comfortable, and being cared for by someone who truly had his best interests at heart. What impressed me most was the combination of her professionalism and her genuine love of animals. She is responsible, thoughtful, attentive to the little things, and clearly takes the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet very seriously. I would (and will) trust Elisia with Churchill again without hesitation, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can feel completely comfortable leaving a beloved member of their family with. She is exactly the kind of person you hope to find when trusting someone with your animal!

Laura was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She kept us updated throughout our trip with regular messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was obvious our dogs received plenty of love, attention, and great care. She even went above and beyond by cleaning up the backyard, which is no small feet with a German Shepherd and Border Collie. When we returned, our house was clean, tidy, and exactly as we left it. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We would gladly have Laura watch our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and thoughtful sitter.

delaney was so wonderful and easy to work with! first of all, my a/c went out while we were gone and she was so patient and helpful with getting it fixed!! and of course she was great with the dogs and we felt so comfortable leaving the dogs in her care. thank you delaney!

I highly recommend Angelica! She is warm, kind, receptive to all information (and I gave a lot fof info for our beloved pup! ;) and everything was wonderful. She is professional and was very easy going about our slightly 'anxious' dog. I felt very comfortable that my dog and my home were well cared for! I will request to have her come again!
