3. Sierra N.

“Sierra is marvelous with my dogs! The older dog, a male, goes to pieces when strangers are around, but Sierra has made herself his buddy. I needed someone I could rely on to be good to my dogs, to be responsive and consistent, and it seems I've found her. I'm grateful, Sierra!”

5. Diamond C.
“I have known Diamond for 16 years. She has always been a reliable person to trust with dogs. When her and I were young she lived with her grandparents and they had quite a few dogs that needed to be fed, walked, and taken care of that her grandparents were not able to take care of themselves. I have trusted her with my own dogs, and will continue to trust her with my dogs in the future!”

From their two, now senior Great Danes, to tiny hamsters, cats, rabbits, and more - Avery treats every animal like family. Avery goes above and beyond to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like her own, you couldn’t ask for better than Avery.”

9. Elexis C.

“Elexis was new to us this Rover stay. As a new dog watcher for us, she went out of her way to meet us and our dogs prior to the actual date needed. She asked questions and helped really show that she was going to individually care for our dogs and follow instructions for our girls to a tee. She was on time, communicative, and friendly. Our girls LOVED her. They even got an introduction to her friendly dog. While we were away the pups got walks, time outside and alot of love. With her vet work experience and compassion, she brings alot to the table as a dog sitter. She is trust worthy. Will definitely consider her again.”


10. Chloe W.
“Chloe is a responsible pet loving care giver. She treats our animals as her own when she is in charge. Millie loves to be walked by her and they get along so well together. You can tell her heart is all about these dogs. Will have her again and again.”


11. Gavin S.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid—everything from dogs and cats to livestock, thanks to 10 years in 4-H. That hands-on experience taught me not just how to love animals, but how to read their behavior, keep them safe, and give them the structure they thrive on. I now have a pug named Otis (a total goofball), and I know firsthand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, calm energy, and genuine love for every animal I care for—like they’re my own. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, quirks, and comfort zones to make sure they’re not just cared for, but actually happy while you’re away. I’m currently in college and working part-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule. Pet care fits into my daily life really naturally—I love being active, I’m often out walking anyway, and spending time with animals is something that genuinely brings me joy. I’m looking to grow this into a consistent side hustle that doesn’t feel like work—because caring for pets never has. Whether it’s quick drop-ins, long walks, or overnight stays, I make time for each booking and treat every pet like they’re my own. This isn’t just extra income—it’s something I’m committed to doing well. I’ll be caring for your pet in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I always follow your instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, meds, or just how they like to be tucked in. I treat every pet like family and make sure they’re calm, happy, and cared for while you’re away. You can count on me to keep your home clean and your pet in great hands.


12. Cynthia H.

“Cynthia was a perfect choice for Max. Very punctual with schedules and accommodating. No issues with my large German shepherd...just a happy dog.”


13. Rachel C.
About: I’ve always enjoyed dogs and their lovable personalities. Nothing better than their companionship. I have years experience with feeding, administering medications, and making sure they receive through exercise. I currently only work 3 days a week. Being a nurse I can be decently flexible with my schedule. They same love I give in my career your pets would receive as well. I have a fenced in yard as well as live on 4 acres. We do have 2 fur babies upstairs but not a problem if they aren’t pup friendly we have separate living quarters in the basement if needed.


14. Brinna E.

“Thanks for letting dogs out with short notice!”


15. Holli T.

16. Jennifer R.
“Jennifer R. Is one of the most compassionate and loving humans on the planet. She would care for your pet just as you do. Jennifer is capable beyond measure and does what she says she will do. She is dependable and loves all animals. You would be very lucky to get to a chance to know her and have her as a trusted part of your and your pet’s journey.”


17. Lauren T.

“Lauren has been helping with drop in visits with our new puppy. We appreciate her help and have been very pleased”
