“Jamie was exceptional! Her communication was great. I can tell she really enjoys taking care of animals! She took great care of our dogs and was so kind! Always giving a daily report with pictures included! We will definitely use her in the future!”
“Des was wonderful! Even when the garage code wasn't working and the house heating was acting up, she was diligent to keep me informed and resolve issues. She is a 10 out of 10! Our normally distrustful cats warmed up to her and looked forwarded to her visits.”
“Brooke was absolutely wonderful! She took care of my old man cat with the utmost care and went over and above to make sure he was happy! She even brought him a fun new toy to play with (despite the menagerie we have already). If you need a great sitter who will take care of your sweet little kitty, I would highly recommend Brooke!”
“Meranda did an awesome job with my cat! She left thoughtful messages every day about how he was doing and what they did together. She gave him lots of attention and even indulged him speaking with her through buttons!”
“Anna is a professional, a great communicator and clearly knows what she’s doing. She has a great attitude, good judgment, and is someone you can trust. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
About: My house runs on cat hair and Alaskan Klee Kai energy — Annie, Mr. Darcy, and Benni keep me well-trained. I offer drop-ins, dog walking, and house sitting. I'll follow your routine or adapt to your pet's needs. Adept at medication administration, including injections. You'll hear from me — photos, texts, video updates, FaceTime if you just need to see their face. I'm easy to reach and big on communication. My cancellation policy is as flexible as possible, because schedules change and I understand that. Available weekday afternoons and evenings, weekends, and overnights. All breeds, all sizes, all personalities welcome. Your pet's in good hands — Benni can vouch. Pet care is a priority in my weekly routine, not an afterthought. I'm consistently available weekday afternoons and evenings, weekends, and overnights. When I'm with your pet, I'm actually present. My time is theirs; they're the point. Spending time with your pets is a privilege. Your home is your pet's comfort zone. I stick to what works for them — their space, their schedule, their quirks. I'm a careful observer, so if something seems off behaviorally or physically, I'll flag it rather than wait and see. I'm attentive to behavioral changes or anything that seems off, and I'm comfortable managing medications, including injections, so pets with medical needs are always welcome. The goal is simple: your pet feels safe, and so do you.
About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn and I have 20+ years of experience caring for pets! I’ve helped family, neighbors and friends with pets of all ages, sizes and personalities. My experience has provided insight into how to comfortably care for most pets! I have a flexible work schedule to fit the unique needs of your pet, including walks over the lunch hour or care over the weekend. I have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood with very walkable sidewalks. I’m getting familiar with the dog parks in the area and am always looking for a recommendation!
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have a friendly 4-year-old Lab mix named Maverick. I also volunteer with local animal shelters, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. As a medical student, I’m used to staying organized, following detailed instructions, and paying close attention to routines and behavior. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog needs lots of exercise, extra patience, medication, or just a comfortable place to relax, I’m happy to tailor their care to their individual needs. I’m currently a medical student, and much of my coursework can be completed from home. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care throughout the day. While my schedule varies slightly week to week, I’m generally available for frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of companionship. I make every effort to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise, and I only board one guest dog at a time so they receive plenty of individual attention. I also have a friendly 4-year-old Lab mix who enjoys other dogs when it’s a good fit. I always take introductions slowly and make sure both dogs are comfortable before allowing interactions. I’m happy to accommodate specific feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any other instructions that help your pet feel at home.
“Brittany was wonderful! Very responsive to messages, flexible with scheduling and able to help out without significant advance notice. My dog loved spending time with her and I trusted her to take great care of my pup. I got frequent updates and photos with every visit. I strongly recommend Brittany for all of your drop in and/or dog walking needs!”
About: I have two cats who I love more than anything! My family has always had dogs since I was a kid, and I can’t wait to have one of my own someday :) Until then, I’d love to hang out with yours! I’ve been cat-sitting since I was in college, and I have experience caring for chinchillas, freshwater/saltwater fish, and aquatic invertebrates. Some pets need a little extra attention, and depending on the day, I might be able to stick around for a while if you don’t mind me working on my laptop at your kitchen table! Always happy to take a high-energy dog on a quick run or let them sniff the backyard to their heart’s content. I understand how important it is to feel like your loved ones are in good hands, and I’m passionate about showing your pets the care and kindness they deserve when you’re away! I have a hybrid work schedule and, depending on the day, can stay with your pets for a little while if they need some extra attention and you don’t have a problem with me working remote at your place. I can generally stop in once a day, but if you need something more involved (caring for pets while you’re on vacation, etc.), I’m happy to talk and see if we can work something out. I am very familiar with what foods, plants, and household items are dangerous for cats and dogs, and I will always be looking out for their safety at home and on the go. I’ll follow your pet’s weird little rituals, talk to them like a friend, and give them whatever kind of attention they need.
About: I am comfortable with all dog breeds and temperaments, including high-energy breeds such as German Shepherds. I have had senior and medically complex dogs, and currently work in the medical field so I am comfortable with medical care. I enjoy training and playing with pups, and would be so excited to meet yours! I work full-time during the week, but can adjust my schedule to let pets out every 8 hours. I am happy to do walks before or after work, and can dedicate more time on the weekends. I am available for pet sitting any night. I will do everything I can to make your pet comfortable in the way that works for them - are they clingy? Need a little space and time to get comfortable? Treat motivated or praise motivated? I will always be respectful of your pet and your space and ask you what that means to you!
About: I've had pets my entire life and 16+ years caring for animals, both my own and others. I'm comfortable with routines to more involved care, medications (including insulin) and senior pet care. I love getting to know each pet's quirks, routines, and boundaries. I'm not a certified trainer, but I've been actively involved with in-home training and understand the importance of consistency and trust! I've cared for all kinds of animals... scales, feathers, shells, or something a little more unconventional, so I'm happy to care for those critters too. Your pet(s) will be safe, respected, and thoroughly cared for. I'll provide updates for peace of mind while you're away, and you'll come home to a happy animal treated like one of my own! I’m a lifelong animal lover (and currently proud pet parent) with a degree in Psychology and background in healthcare, so I bring a high level of detail and care to every pet I visit. I work a remote 8:30am–5pm schedule Monday to Saturday (excluding Thursdays, my day off). Because I work from home, my evenings and Sundays are entirely dedicated to play, walks, scritches, and feeding routines! While I’m not currently available for 24hr live-in care, I’m the perfect match for owners looking for reliable AM/PM check-ins/walks, evening companionship, or overnight stays. I believe every pet deserves a space where they feel safe, seen, and completely adored! My goal is to keep their routine steady and their spirits high while you’re away. Whether it’s an energetic evening walk or a quiet dinner-time visit, I show up with a positive attitude and a lot of love to give. -- A Note on My Home vs. Yours -- To keep things peaceful for my own two cats, I don’t host other furry friends in my own house. This actually works out great because it means when I’m with your pet in their familiar environment, they have my undivided attention! I’m all about creating a calm, happy experience for them right where they feel most comfortable. (P.S. If you have a reptile like a lizard or a snake, I’m open to discussing a special scenario for hosting them since they won't ruffle any feline feathers.)
“Kirsten was able to drop in twice with a short notice for my two pups. She sent fun pictures and updates while she was checking on them. She was super quick to respond and we will definitely request her again!”
“Kristine was wonderful! My cats were very comfortable with her, my shy older girl let her give pets and did not hide the entire time. I appreciate her having availability over a holiday weekend so much! I will keep her in mind for future needs for sure!”
About: to be blunt: I love animals. I treat them like kids, they need attention and love. I'll make sure your pet feels cared about while you're away! I'm currently only volunteering and working on coding in my free time so i'm very flexible and available! I build my schedule around the animals I am caring for, whether that's ensuring I have time for midday play breaks, afternoon walks, or late night cuddling time, I will make sure to communicate that I am able to be there and show up for your pet. I take a calm, safety-first approach in every single home I enter. I like to follow routines, and I will follow yours to a T. I always ensure that doors and gates are closed and secured, and I always check in to see if anything seems off. In my home, pets get a quiet, low-stress environment with lots of supervision.
“Meredith did an outstanding job minding our two cats and she was more than willing to assist with getting mail, light watering of plants/garden, and emptying our dehumidifier while we were on vacation for almost two weeks. Communication (and pictures!) were excellent and I really never worried whether our animals and home were in good hands while we were away. I would not hesitate to use her again in the future.”

I asked Brianna to feed my two cats and give them some love & attention when I had to head out of town last-minute and she did an amazing job! I sent her detailed instructions and she followed them perfectly with no hiccups. She sent me great photos and spent time playing with both cats. When I got home both cats were calm and happy. I would definitely book with Brianna again.
Brooke is fabulous! She is warm, personable, caring and extremely responsible. She did a terrific job visiting and playing with our 3 year old cat. She also had to deal with an unwelcome visitor in our garage... a big raccoon. She was calm, cool and collected and got the"guest" out without incident. She is top of our list! A+++
Destiny was awesome watching our 3 cats while we were away. This was our first time using the Rover app and Destiny was perfect. She provided pictures and a short description after each visit giving us updates and piece of mind that our cats were safe while we were away.
Brittany was so amazing!! Truly went above and beyond at each visit and even took my buddy on an emergency trip to the vet after getting into some trouble without any hesitation. Brittany was the best sitter Cannoli has had thus far and I plan to consider her as my first choice for future trips.
Natalie visited our kitty for the Thanksgiving weekend, she was great! Friendly and easy to communicate with. She ensured we had back up care due to the winter storm and even when we did, Natalie made it through the snow to have her last visit which we really appreciated. Will definitely book again!
