“Rachel was fantastic taking care of our boy Cooper! The daily report ins with pics she provided kept our minds at ease. This experience was so much better than boarding. We will definitely do it again.”
About: I've been pet and house sitting off and on since I was 14 so it's been over 10 years. I love every dog I come across and try to make sure I can make them feel comfortable enough for me to pet them. It doesn't matter the age or the breed of the dog I will always want to try to connect and pet the dog. I have a retail job that I work at part time. But currently trying to make some extra money on the side. I'm willing to work whenever I'm not working my retail job I can either stay over at the house or just drop in when you need me. I can play with your pets feed them make sure they feel comfortable and safe. My mom always taught me leave a house cleaner than you found it. So I will always try to pick up here and there and clean at least a little bit if I have the time too
“Kimberly was so good with Rascal! She was incredibly patient getting his trustand administering his meds while also giving him so much love. I'll definitely use her again if I go out of town!”
“Matthew did a wonderful job with my cat Porch. He is a good communicator and contacted me daily with a photo and a written update on how Porch was doing. Porch is not an easy cat to watch. He’s not been around a lot of people and he’s very spooky. He also takes medication for epilepsy. Matthew was not intimidated by any of this, and was attentive to Porch. His medication was given on time and reported to me. I would use Matthew again anytime. He is very accommodating.”

About: Hi, I'm Kelsey! 🐾 If you're looking for someone who will love your pets like they're my own-you just found her. I've spent the last 10+ years caring for pets of family, friends, and neighbors, and it's truly something love. Your pup will feel right at home here! I have a large fenced yard for safe play and plenty of space inside to relax. Dogs are welcome to roam or be crated based on what they’re used to. We’re right by a pond and walking trail, so they’ll get lots of fresh air and exercise. I work three days a week, which gives me plenty of time on my off days to provide lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’m big on keeping their routine as normal as possible—and yes, couch snuggles and plenty of picture updates are included 😊 I currently work 3 days a week so I am able to devote any range of attention and care that your animal needs. I know how stressful it can be traveling without your pets and I want to make it as comfortable as possible for you and your furry companion. If you’re looking for someone who will give you daily updates and photos and a person who will give your animals love and snuggles while you’re away, I’m your person! I keep things pretty simple and focused on making pets feel comfortable and safe. I follow whatever routine they’re used to at home—feeding times, potty breaks, crate time if needed, and their usual sleep setup.
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I’m attentive to routines, feeding and I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with senior care, cat care, even cows, chickens, and goats! I am currently back home from my seasonal job at a ski lift right now so pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am very respectful of all wishes that clients will have. Whatever they would like me to do, I will ensure that it is done to the best of my ability!
“Matthew and Dexy took amazing care of my kitties and I couldn’t thank them more! They sent me pictures and updates daily and were very friendly. Rates are wallet friendly and I highly recommend this family!!”
About: Hello! Let me help you and your pet feel safe and secure. I've been a pet lover for years and now have the time to offer care on a larger scale. In the past I have fostered animals, primarily cats and dogs with the SPCA. During that time I worked with small and larger breeds of various personalities. I have the patience to work with dogs that may be anxious or shy, and dogs that are more rambunctious as well. I love learning about animals, and would even like to become a dog trainer. Let's connect! My schedule is flexible and open at this time. I can work mornings, afternoons, or evenings, and I'm always open to discuss what needs you may have. It's essential to build a relationship with the pet. You want the dog to feel secure, ensure that you can change behavior if needed, and pay attention so that they don't find themselves in trouble.
About: I have handled many different breeds. I love big drooling dogs and small yappy ones. The pets are free to do what they want with one on one play time. I live in a huge neighborhood so they can walk around. I also have three others dogs so there will be lots of running around and staying active. I have a small amount of obedience training. I have toys for your dogs to play with. Treats are also available when they do something good like siting, laying down, shaking, etc. I love bonding with the dogs. I believe that dogs are not just pets they are family. You should treat family with the love and respect you would with any family does not matter if they are dogs cats fish etc.
“Samatha was a fantastic cat/house-sitter. She took care of our cat, Gonzi, for a week while we were on vacation. From the meet-and-greet to the end of her stay, Samatha was very conscientious, and it was clear that she had a sincere commitment to the welfare of our pet and our home. She sent regular updates and photos and was always prompt in replying to any communication. She also left our house spotless, going above and beyond to leave the house clean and tidy before our return. We would definitely hire Samatha to mind our pet and home in the future. Thanks, Samatha!”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 13. I personally have 5 current pets right now. This includes 1 dog 3 cats and even a turtle. I got a degree to be a veterinarian assistant and worked in an animal clinic for almost a year. Right now I am a kennel attendant at a doggy daycare. Where required online training was required. We get a variety of different dogs. Ranging from small to large, young to old, even a few dogs with some medicine issues. I'm currently working part-time. In my free time, I take my son out for walks, so I can possibly bring dogs with me. I do have my own car for transportation. I live in a neighborhood where there is a lot of strays, so when I walk my dog, I carry a spray shield, which is citronella and animal deterrent from Pet Safe. Working at a dog daycare, we get a lot of dogs with some type of medical condition. From clean Bulldogs folds to make sure dogs take their medicine when needed.

My cat is a very skittish cat. He is very loving around the people he accepts. Taylor does an exceptional job taking care of my cat. From my first time using Rover Taylor was able to get him to interact with her. I don’t travel a lot and she is able to get Buddy to come out for her with her even after not seeing her for months. I have friends and family visit, that he has been around a lot, where he will hide and never show himself. .i will definitely keep using her as my pet sitter and recommend 100%.
