“We found Beth in a pinch on very short notice and she was wonderful. The 4 dogs loved her immediately. We have had a run of bad luck with dog sitters for a few years so very grateful to have found Beth. We are already planning to book her again next month😃.”


“We were nervous about hiring a stranger to house sit all of our animals- there are five- plus fish. We had had friends of friends house sit for us until this point, and something usually went wrong. Like they killed off a whole tank of fish or that they ignored our parrot, so she plucked out quite a few feathers, and we had never left our dogs with anyone who wasn't family. We have a rescue whose previous owners severely abused him, and he takes a second to warm up to people- for this reason, we haven't left either of them in four years. They've always come with us on vacation, or one of us stays home. This time we couldn't take them, and it was a tough decision. The highest praise I can give Zachary is that Henry (our rescue) snuggled him. I am so grateful for everything Zachary did for us, from nightly proof of life photos to the meet and greet beforehand to simply asking questions to make sure he cared for everyone the way we do. Since getting home about fifteen hours ago, we've already rebooked him and given his name to one of our friends who doesn't like to leave her dog. If you want a kind, caring and dependable person to care for your animals, Zachary is it.”


“Shadae is excellent and is very enthusiastic about caring for pets! She always sends so many updates and pictures, it gives me peace of mind while I am away! I will be booking with her any time she is available and I have plans to be away!”


“Keigan was able to take a last minute booking and we were grateful. Our puppers, Lilith, has seizures and has a strict medicine and feeding schedule. Keigan was able to give her medicine on time and keep her feelings on time. She sent updates throughout the day and even a few photos. We will def be using keigan for future getaways.”


“This was our first time using anybody to watch our dog and home other than family or a boarding center, so we were super skeptical about the Rover process and hiring a stranger to watch our fur baby. However, quickly after meeting Logan, we knew we would welcome her in our home! She was very responsive, friendly and obviously loved animals. These traits were still apparent while she watched our dog in our home for 10 days. She sent us 2-3 pictures or videos of our dog daily (but also stated she didn’t have to if we didn’t want to be bothered on vacation) and we loved getting those updates! When we returned, the house was nice and clean, including fresh laundry and an empty dishwasher. She also offered to water our flowers and they were surprisingly healthier looking when we got back so I know she spent time holding up that offer too. Overall, our dog seemed happy and well cared for and we were pleased with the level of communication she provided. We will definitely use Logan again and would highly recommend her to anybody needing a pet sitter! We just hope she doesn’t get too popular! Thank you Logan!”


“Kalena was so good with our dog, and we were so grateful she accepted our last minute booking. She is thoughtful and keeps you up to date throughout the booking. We were at ease leaving our dog in her care and we 10/10 recommend booking her.”

“Tessa did a great job watching our 2 yr old lab in our home for the week Skye is very scared of new people when she meets them but made a new friend at the meet and greet! Tessa was her new play buddy and seemed at ease and comfortable with her during her stay. I know this because she would give me updates and pictures every day to put my mind at ease while we were so far away. She even helped me feed the neighborhood cats! She left our house just as clean as we left it. I will definitely be contacting her next time we need someone to watch or let Skye out for us!”


About: For over 8 years, I’ve nurtured my sweet domestic shorthair kitty through her battle with feline lower urinary disease, mastering the art of keeping her happy and comfortable. When my partner joined me, I gained an adventurous 8-year-old Chihuahua mix who’s become my best buddy—together, we explore the world. My pet care approach blends love, patience, and practical know-how, ensuring every furry friend feels safe, cared for, and cherished. After recently stepping away from a position that wasn’t the right fit, I’m dedicating my time to pursuits that genuinely bring me joy—like spending quality moments with pets. My open and adaptable schedule allows me to give the attention and care every furry friend deserves. Whether it’s taking a dog on a lively walk or providing a cozy environment for a cat to feel safe and loved. I treat every client’s home with the utmost respect, ensuring their pets feel secure and loved in their familiar surroundings. I prioritize safety by carefully following instructions, maintaining clean and comfortable spaces, and keeping a watchful eye on their well-being. With a nurturing approach, I build trust with pets through kindness, patience, and attentiveness. My goal is to provide a calm and reassuring presence, so both pets and owners feel confident in my care.

About: I’ve had a cat since 8th grade and have been an avid animal lover since! I currently volunteer and take care of the animals every other week at the local Humane Society. I work from home and have flexibility to provide animal care when needed both during the day and during the evenings. I also am free both weekday and weekend. Flexible while caring for pets in a clients home. Will do what is best for the pet - taking them out to go to restroom or letting them out independently should the home have a fenced in yard, etc.

About: In my 2nd year of my MS program, studying Animal Behavior and Well-Being. Had two senior dogs (who reside in OK with my mother as they are bonded) who exhibited abnormal behaviors related to medical issues that were promptly resolved by vets. Additionally, I worked at a non-profit dog sanctuary for several years with 100+ dogs: included grooming, socializing, rehabilitating, and helping to get adopted out. I am available mostly on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. While Tuesdays and Thursdays are my afternoon and evening classes from 12:30 to 7:20 pm. I typically work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule, if you let me know in advance! I let pets roam freely around my apartment and interact with my dog (Bernice - 2 years old and very friendly almost to a fault). I am willing to crate, if you are more comfortable with that during the evening. Pets are allowed on furniture.

“Victoria was an excellent sitter! Dogs were very well taken care off with walks everyday day! House was clean when we returned and dogs were happy! Would book this sitter again!”
