“Mayela was great! She stopped by three times to let our dog out and he had a great time. She was on time and was conscientious of the extreme heat we were experiencing, so she played with him indoors during her mid-day visit. Highly recommend!”


“Gianna is absolutely wonderful! She took such beautiful care of my kitty, and was so understanding and communicative with some last minute unforeseen changes. I’m looking forward to my next trip so Tom (Kitty) can visit with her again!”


“Ashley was great with my two dogs. She was very responsive when we were making arrangements and sent a lot of pictures from her visits. I have an older dog who can be a little particular about what she will and won't do sometimes, and Ashley was great about putting details in Rover Cards so I could know exactly what was happening with her while I was gone. I would absolutely book visits with Ashley again.”


“Kaneishia is absolutely lovely! My cat never comes out, but Kaneishia makes sure she has everything she needs. She is reliable, kind, respectful and I will rebook her again. I trust her in our home and with my fur baby! Thank you Kaneishia for taking care of my Grace! I appreciate you so much!!”


“Jazz was so very awesome. This was the first time we used Rover and she was a definite awesome choice for our cats. We had a video call before to discuss everything and make sure we both knew what was to be expected. I got a text and photos and video of her visit with the cats, so my mind was more at ease. We will definitely recommend and rebook Jazz 😊”


About: I have a fenced in yard and a 5 year old female husky who loves making new friends. I am a PE teacher so I'm home all day during the summer. I love dogs and I would treat your furry friend as if they were my own. I have the availability to take them on walks and let them out as much as necessary. I am happy to communicate with you and learn the needs of your pet. Would love to establish consistent work with the same dogs. Please consider me as your next dog sitter. I would be happy to talk with you and answer any questions you may have I stop home for lunch daily to let the dogs out, and then I'm home by 3 during the week. I have a fenced in yard so it's easy for me to let the dogs out, as well as take them for walks or hikes. I will cater to each dog's individual needs. My goal is to make your dog feels comfortable, because that's how I want to feel when I entrust my dog with someone.

About: I have extensive experience in pet care, having spent several years looking after a variety of animals including dogs, cats, and small pets. My responsibilities have included feeding, grooming, administering medication, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes and cages, and providing companionship to ensure each pet feels safe and loved. I understand the importance of routine, patience, and attention to detail when it comes to animal care. Whether caring for energetic puppies or senior pets with special needs, I always prioritize their well-being, comfort, and happiness. Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily routine. Since I’m available every day, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, grooming, or simply spending quality time with them, I make sure every task is done with care and patience. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust easily to last-minute needs or extended care, which helps build trust with both pets and their owners. Being fully available means I can maintain a reliable and steady routine that keeps pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. I care for pets in their own home to ensure they stay comfortable in a familiar environment. When I visit a client’s home, I follow their specific care instructions closely. I make sure to keep the pet’s routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress while their owner is away. I’m respectful of the home, always keeping things clean and organized, and I stay in touch with owners through updates and photos so they know their pets are safe, happy, and well-cared for.

“Erica has babysat our cat Domino in our home several times now. Domino is a cat that we took several months to rescue earlier this year. Consequently, she is shy and a bit skittish around new people. She bonded with Erica almost immediately! Erica has two cats of her own, so she knows a lot about them and their finicky nature. Erica has a warm and caring nature that comes across in the way that she communicates with Domino. She calls Domino her niece! Erica is fastidious with Domino’s litter box and feeds her twice daily. She sends us regular posts and updates regarding Domino’s antics. Erica spends time with Domino and plays with her. We miss Domino when we are gone, but never worry that she will be too lonely without us. We feel secure when we are away. We trust Erica with having the keys to our home. We have the utmost confidence that Erica will take great care of our fur baby.”


About: Dogs just get me! I have a heart and home for dogs and I would love to host your fur baby. I have a yard and a spacious park close by for your fur baby to exercise. Old Plank Trail is around the corner too if your baby enjoys long walks. My home does have stairs but the first floor has more than enough space for an older or heavier dog. Your baby would be free to get comfortable in our home and enjoy family time with us but don't worry, I’ll return him or her when it's time to go but they might have a new nickname. I look can do walks and daycare if you are interested. If you are looking for specific services please reach out directly. If you’d like to have your dog present during your special event I can help make that happen! I work from home so I’m available to take your pet in at any time. I can easily take time away for drop in visits and walks and I’m a present sitter. If your schedule changes during their stay I’m flexible with pick ups. PLEASE NOTE: I require bookings from new clients be made at least 5 days in advance. My dogs are friendly and will keep your fur baby company. I also have crates and security gates if your dog prefers their own space. Each dog has their own designated area for feeding as well.


“Bayli did a wonderful job with my pups!! We had her come for several home visits a day to care for my senior dogs. She was fantastic about sending me great photos of them and giving them lots of love. I was nervous to leave them as one of my dogs has an illness that requires some special care. Bayli took such good care of her that I was able to be away from home without being constantly worried. I would use her again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend her services, I was very impressed!”


About: I was the neighborhood baby/dog sitter for most of my teens and even now I do the occasional dog sitting for a week or so for family friends. I have taken care of dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I recently started fostering kittens and have a newfound love for those little guys too! I’ve owned bunnies and hamsters, watched a snake, taken care of a bird. You name it I’m sure I’ve had some sort of experience with it! I’d be so happy to take care of your critter too <3 I work from home! Rest assured your little buddy will get lots of attention in my care. If they have a more strict letting out schedule that’s absolutely no problem! I have a small mix dog, with two friendly cats. I work from home and can spend more time than the average person with your pet. I have a non fenced in yard, but am happy to take out on walks or on their leash in my yard.

About: I've had rescue dogs my whole life and understand the patience, love, and consistency they need to thrive. I’m the proud dog parent of a 3-year-old Plott Hound and a 4-year-old Beagle/Pit mix—both super friendly and always up for a game of tug-of-war! Over the years, I’ve successfully potty trained, crate trained, and helped my dogs work through separation anxiety. My hands-on experience gives me a calm, confident approach with all breeds and personalities. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own in a safe, fun, and loving environment. I create my own work schedule, which allows me to dedicate focused, flexible time to pet care every day. I structure my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and training with my two dogs. This flexibility makes it easy to welcome another dog into our routine—whether for a walk, drop-in, daycare, or boarding. I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. I have a fully fenced yard where your dog can safely play alongside my two friendly, playful dogs. There are plenty of toys to keep everyone entertained! I’m happy to crate your dog if needed and always follow your daily routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I believe in clear communication, so I love sending picture updates to keep you connected and reassured while your pup is in my care.

About: I’ve own a pet since I was 5. I had all types: dogs ( small - large), cats, rabbit, turtles, fish, bird, gecko. I loved them all. Taking care of animals gives me joy and great experience to be a veterinarian. I have a flexible schedule. I am currently a school bus driver; weekends I’m available from dusk to dawn. In the summer I’m available for any task you need for your wonderful pet(s). My neighbor is safe and pet friendly. However, I prefer caring for a pet where they’re most comfortable in their neighborhood. ( If I have permission from the owner).

“Kendyll worked really hard to win over our skiddish dog. He is very afraid of new people, and she was patient with him and worked with him to get him to trust her. Really appreciated having her with him!”

I know my animals can cause messes (I have 4 of them) and I always come back to my house clean and no sign of any messes (which I know she is covering for them). :) I would highly recommend Tori to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She will take care of them as if they are her own.”
