“Julian did an excellent job taking care of my cat Simon. He followed all my instructions exactly like I wanted. He fed Simon at the appropriate schedule, cleaned his litter box, and made sure his water bowl was clean and filled. He also took the time to play with him and pet him so he wouldn’t feel lonely. I would hire Julian to take care of my cat again in a heartbeat.”

“This was our 1st time using Rover so my anxiety was high having 2 large dogs needing medication twice a day. Our sitter Cathy was great. We had her over beforehand to meet the dogs and everything went great. 2 of our dogs are Dobermans so they can be protective but all was good. Thank you for all you did and giving us the opportunity to get away and enjoy ourselves.”

“Kadence was terrific with our babies. We were out of the country but she sent updates, photos and a video. She stayed at our house and took great care of our pups. She’s been very reliable and my dogs love her. We will definitely use her for our next trip!”

“Laura is a very sweet young lady! She cared for my pets as if they were her own. She kept in contact with me, sent pictures, and called with questions as needed. She followed all instructions perfectly! My pets were well cared for while we were away. We will definitely hire Laura again in the future!”

“Mariah was an excellent communicator and my dog loves her. She ended up needing to modify our reservation, but still ensured my pup was still well cared for throughout the stay.”

“Aspyn was absolutely amazing while we were away on vacation! From the moment we left, she kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and check-ins, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them like her own. She was incredibly responsible, reliable, and attentive to all of their needs. Our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home, and we could tell they had received plenty of love and attention while we were gone. Aspyn was also very friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would wholeheartedly recommend Aspyn to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: As a former dog groomer of 4 years, I have experience with many dog breeds, including giant breeds, senior pets, and special needs dogs! I moved to Florida last year and miss working with so many dogs. I’m very active, and happy to adventure with your pets outside, or lounge around with them for a bit if that’s more their style :) I work part time as a barista in town, with a flexible schedule. I can easily work around odd hours and events to prioritize your pets schedule I prioritize safety and fun when sitting for anyone, including family! I have several dog grooming certifications, one of which included an aggressive dog training course & insight to behavior cues. I’ll always be aware of our surroundings and keeping an eye on your pet!
“Patsy watched both of our pups (6 year old golden retriever and 9 month old puppy) for the first time this past weekend. We were very happy and impressed with her level of devotion and care for our fur babies. She sent pictures and short videos of them frequently each day, and verbal reports on their status, which was very informative and reassuring to us. She had no difficulty administering medication to our golden retriever who is currently undergoing chemo treatments. And she took both pups on daily walks, which was great! We will no doubt ask for her services again, when needed! We highly recommend her!”

About: I'm a 30 year old that currently has three sweet dogs and a cat of her own! I love all animals and I have experience with many different dogs and cats- big, small, playful or couch potato. I'm attentive, energetic and willing to give your pet all the play time they need! Your pet will be treated like royalty, and given all the love and treats they can dream of. I'm flexible, responsible and have plenty of experience caring for both cats and dogs! All of my previous and current fur babies are rescues, and unfortunately, some had horrible past owners. This gave me experience working with pets with anxiety and fear. I'm great with training, and will give your pet positive reinforcement in the form of lots of love, belly rubs, and scritches! Your pup will be in safe, loving hands when I'm around. I'm willing to give baths as well as administer oral medication if needed, and send many updates and pictures during your service! I have a lot experience with senior pets, having had 3 senior pets of my own previous, and currently have an 11 year old senior who gets routine oral medication via pill and oral syringe, so I have practice with admistering both. Having seen many of my pets through their senior lives, I am quick to spot any signs of medical emergency or off symptoms. Your pets will be getting my 12+ years of experience with my own animals. I have a flexible schedule currently, and I'd be happy to do a meet a greet! I hope to hear from you and be trusted with your fur babies! My schedule is pretty open and flexible so I'll have plenty of time to pamper your fur baby! I'm available during weekdays primarily, and can be available most weekends given prior notice. I have a large fenced yard for your baby to run around and play in, and very friendly pets to keep your fur baby company, if they want! I can easily crate your pup if it is needed as well.
“Savannah stayed at our home to watch our poodle “Scarlett” for a week so we could go on a cruise. She texted us updates and pictures daily so we didn’t worry about her. She did a wonderful job. We would recommend Savannah for your pet as you can tell she loves animals. Thank you Savannah!”


About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have spent the last 9 years caring for pets for others. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am currently working full time. A typical day in my life looks like; waking up at 7am, taking the pups for a walk, everyone gets breakfast, short play time before I leave at 8:30. I stop in at lunch for potty breaks. Then my husband, returns home just before 4pm. Friday- Sunday, and Holidays we are home. I have a fenced in yard, although we don’t leave our pups out unsupervised. My husband and I have two sweet dogs of our own. Both are friendly and we would love to schedule a meet before a booking! Penelope (9) shih tzu, and Oakley (<1) Cocker Spaniel. For the safety of our pups we kennel them when nobody is home, but will accommodate what is best for your pup!
“Diana was wonderful watching Barney for a house sit when I was out of town for a few days. She provided very frequent updates with pictures and my home was in the same condition if not nearer than when I left..”


“Jessica did a wonderful job with our two dogs while we were away. She was prompted with the request, meet and greet and booking. She provided several updates and photos while we were gone. We will most defiantly utilize her services again.”

“Amy was great with our senior dog and took great care of the house while we were away for a long weekend. We came home to a happy pup and the house was spotless. Her communication throughout the trip was great - we will absolutely be using Amy again.”

“Charley did a great job. She is very communicative to make sure she is getting everything right. Very clean as well. Oor fur babies seemed very happy! We would definitely use her services again!”

“Megan is very reliable, trustworthy, friendly and truly loves dogs! My boyfriend and I went on a trip and had to scramble for a sitter last minute, Megan went above and beyond and sent us lots of pictures. Highly recommend her! ❤️”
