“Nelson was the perfect pet sitter! He came to our house for drop-in visits for our calico, Scooby. It was easy to tell that Nelson loves all animals. He made Scooby feel safe and comfortable in her own home while her parents were away. Scooby is a senior cat and takes medication daily, and Nelson had no problem with following through with our specific instructions. For each visit, Nelson provided photos of Scooby where she was clearly relaxed and well cared for, and that made me worry less while we were away for the weekend. I definitely recommend him, and I hope to have Nelson watch Scooby again in the future.”


“Kayla is amazing! She took such good care of my kitties and even does things above and beyond like vacuuming without being asked. She’s also very friendly and easy to communicate with.”


“It was our first time trying Rover and also working with Tallie and we are more than happy with our experience so far. We have two cats who are pretty nervous and shy to strangers. Tallie was always on time with her visits, making sure our cats are fed and spent time playing with them both. Our boy cat really bonded with her and kept following her all around the house :) for her entire visit. Our girl cat is generally too shy but she didnt mind her in the house :) Nevertheless they both were cared for really well every day. Tallie is really great to work with, takes detailed notes, followed our instructions and loved our fur babies like her own :) We were very happy with Tallie and will definitely avail her services to petsit our cats for the next time.”



“Jason did an incredible job taking care of my cat. He went above and beyond by brushing his fur and playing with him. He was very thoughtful and considerate. He sent me updates and even left us a nice Christmas card. Jason is definitely my go to pet sitter from now on.”

“Megan has been so wonderful with my dog! She tuned into his interests and needs and he has quickly grown very fond of her. I appreciate all of the photos and thorough updates she sends after each drop in visit. She loves dogs and it shows. I enthusiastically recommend Megan for any pet sitting needs!”


About: I've spent a lot of time looking after dogs of all ages, and I really enjoy giving extra care to senior pups. I recently cared for my own rescue dog through his later years, making sure he was comfortable and happy right up until the end. I’m comfortable giving medication and know what it takes to keep older dogs feeling their best. I’m also used to looking after puppies and high-energy breeds—everything from Great Danes to shepherds and bird dogs—so I appreciate how every dog’s personality brings something special. My goal is to make sure every pet I care for feels safe, understood, and loved. My job lets me work from anywhere as long as I have cell service or internet. I do need to join a few meetings now and then, but most of the time, my schedule is pretty flexible. My home is dog-friendly, with a picket fenced-in yard and a quiet neighborhood, that’s great for walks and exploring local trails. I always keep a close eye on pets outdoors, and luckily, my area is filled with dog lovers. Whether it’s providing a safe quiet environment or plenty of attention, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for.

About: We have owned and cared for dogs our entire lives. We have helped care for our family and friends dogs and want to help out more locally. Unfortunately, our dog of 15 years recently passed away. We are not ready to get another dog yet, but would love the opportunity to help watch or care for yours. We have plenty of experience with helping out elderly dogs, as well as training puppies. We have administered medication and can follow directions easily. We work full time, but have the ability to care for in the morning before work, coming home during lunch, as well as evenings. We will schedule accordingly to make sure we are home to provide quality time with your dog. We treat every dog as if they were ours. We know that dogs are truly part of the family and do everything to ensure they are as happy as possible. We would love to hear ways in which we can make sure your dog's experience is the best it can be with us.

About: Hi! My name is Madison, and I’m an experienced and dependable pet lover with a lifelong passion for caring for animals. I currently have one cat of my own, but I grew up with both big and small dogs, as well as indoor and outdoor cats—so I’m very comfortable around pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. While I now work as a server and bartender, I’ve always made time for animals. During college, I volunteered regularly at the local animal shelter, where I walked a wide variety of dogs. That experience taught me a lot about leash and harness handling, and gave me the skills to confidently care for dogs with different energy levels and personalities. Whether you’re looking for someone to walk your pup, check in on your cat, or just give your pets some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to help. I treat every animal like my own and take pride in providing safe, attentive, and reliable care. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! Currently I work part time, which does give me more time to help out with your babies! My only “guaranteed” times off are Tuesday afternoons and Sundays, which is when I could be available for recurring bookings. Otherwise, I get my schedule for the next week on Friday afternoons, which means I can book one-times about a week out. Every pet in my care is treated like family - with kindness, attention, and genuine love. Whether I’m on a walk or watching them at home, I follow their routines closely and make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I’m big on cuddles, playtime, and keeping their environment clean and calm. I pay attention to each pet’s personality and needs, always making sure they’re comfortable and cared for like they’re my own.

“Penny is amazing! My girls immediately gravitated towards her. She goes above and beyond every time! She’s responsive, punctual and reliable. So happy to have found her, she’s been a huge help. I highly recommend !!! Her kind nature doesn’t go unnoticed by both me and my girls, we can tell she loves all animals.”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for German Shepherds, Boston Terriers, Greyhounds, and more. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from playful pups to calm seniors. Whether your dog needs energetic play, medication, or just loving companionship, I’m patient, reliable, and dedicated to making tails wag. Your pup’s happiness and safety are my top priorities! I’m an early riser with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits seamlessly into my day. I’m organized and reliable, always ensuring your furry friends get the attention and care they deserve—on time and with love! I provide attentive, loving care for your pets right in the comfort of their own home. This helps reduce their stress and keeps their routine consistent while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or just companionship, I treat your pets like family and keep their space clean and safe. I’m committed to making both you and your pets feel relaxed and happy during my visits.

About: I’m Jake, and I’m grateful you’d consider letting me spend some time with your pet! I’m a Master of Social Work student, hoping to get in some animal time and make some extra cash. I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian, so I’ve spent years working at a pet shop, volunteering at the zoo, shadowing vets, and working at animal hospitals, where my sole role was walking, feeding, cleaning up after, etc. animals and people’s pets! Before college, I also owned fish, snakes, parrots, a sugar glider, a rat, and probably something else! My family now has a wonderful yellow lab named Toby. I’m comfortable and have had experience around animals of all sorts—especially dogs of all temperaments—and look forward to providing your pets the most loving care. I’m also a runner and would love to take your dog for a jog if you’d like them to move a little extra energy! I’m usually available for sittings during the week, but weekends may vary. This semester, I have internship from 7:00-2:30 MWF, and I have class on Tuesday. So, sittings where pets can be left alone for about 7 hours would be best for me! Typically, I can only plan for sittings that are no longer than one or two weeks, but feel free to reach out to me to so we can work something out. I’m happy to work with you to determine when a service would work best for you! I believe that trust is of utmost importance in pet care. Having had a number of pets throughout my life, I understand the need for trusted providers of pet care. Therefore, I will carefully follow any instructions you leave me, prioritizing safety at all times. I will use my experience of working with animals to provide the best care possible, focusing on the unique needs of your pet. I intend to communicate clearly and promptly with you throughout caring for your pet. Lastly, know that I bring much gratitude to your letting me care for your pet! It’s a privilege to care for your furry family members.

About: I have taken care of dogs, pigs, chickens, cats, birds and fish for my family and for friends. I also have a Persian senior cat at home :) I am looking for check ins, I can feed, walk, play, etc. and clean up after animals. I don’t mind multiple animals at one time. I go on long walks every day now and need a partner! I love older animals as well as babies. I have come to raise kittens and puppies and help teach potty training and good manners. Tricks too.

I’d been hesitant to leave my little menagerie with a pet sitter after Elizabeth and my former sitter had a very difficult relationship, but I had Jake stay with them during a last-minute work trip to Latvia, and I’m so grateful to have found a young man who is such a natural with all animals. He attends to each of their individual needs and preferences with unparalleled care. I cannot recommend his services enough.”

I can’t recommend Riley enough! She took such amazing care of my cat while I was away, making sure they were well-fed, entertained, and loved. I appreciated the updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear my cat was happy and comfortable in their care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely caring, Riley is the best choice!

Patti took fantastic care or our two cats while we were away- super personable, excellent knowledge about cat care, and very professional. Our cats were comfortable with her on the first visit- she has great animal rapport! She really put us at ease, and made our trip guilt and worry free. Even thought of things we didn’t. Highly, highly recommend!
