“I have used Ruth several times and could not be happier with the services she provides. Ruth demonstrates a high level of professionalism, punctuality, and attentiveness to my dog, Frankie. Ruth has excellent communication skills and replies to my messages promptly with pictures of her visit with Frankie. There have been several occasions when I've needed last minute dog walks or visits due to a work emergency, and Ruth always is able to jump in and help me out with last minute notice. Most importantly, my dog Frankie absolutely LOVES her! I highly recommend Ruth for all your animal needs! ”
About: Here is $20 off your first booking!!! KYLIU82403 I have two dogs of my own and am looking forward to taking care of your best friend!! I have a fully fenced in yard with a dog pool and what feels like a million toys! I have had dogs and cats my whole life and really enjoy taking care of them. I will keep in contact with daily pictures and good communication. I am on a set schedule for work but also work 10 minutes from home and can go home if needed. There is a dog park in my community and I also have a backyard! Like I mentioned I have two of my own dogs so your dog will be treated like my own! I do not plan anything without the dogs in mind. I have two friendly dogs and one friendly cat at my house and there is a lot of playing happening 24/7. I check on them often throughout the day!
“Sia was wonderful! Our pup is a little shy at first, and Sia was so patient and warm while Apple warmed up to her. She gave detailed explanation of what they did together, and took many pictures to show our sweet happy pup in her care! I am so glad to have found Sia, and I will definitely be using her again!”
“April was amazing. Very professional. Took care of any changes we had immediately. Our Animal kingdom loved her, and she loved taking care of them. She was always on time for her drop-ins and she checked in and checked out perfectly. She let us know of any issues, a and took care of them immediately. Such a pleasure knowing that we could relax knowing our pets would be well cared for. We were able to concentrate on our family. We will most definitely book with her again.”
“Thank you, he was probably extra crazy! That was the longest he was alone. Thanks again for taking care of him and all your communication! I will be in touch!”
“Lindsay was exactly what I needed for my last minute travel! I had never used a service like this before and just moved to a new area so I wasn't sure how it would go. Lindsay met me and the fur babies before the trip and got a lay of the house and I was instantly comfortable with her! She was on time for every visit, she loved my pups as her own and she kept me in the loop at each visit! I never felt that I needed to worry about my babies while away and it allowed me to thoroughly relax! Thank you so much!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my genuine passion for their care. Growing up, I was surrounded by both cats and dogs, which taught me the importance of understanding each pet's unique personality and needs. Over the years, I’ve also had the opportunity to dog-sit for family and friends, caring for pets of various breeds, ages, and temperaments. This hands-on experience has given me valuable skills, such as managing energetic puppies, providing extra attention to senior pets, and ensuring all pets feel loved and secure. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and I’m committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for them. I recently graduated from college and am currently awaiting my diploma to begin my career. In the meantime, I have the flexibility to dedicate my time to caring for pets daily, ensuring they receive the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment tailored to their specific needs. I ensure they have a designated space for rest, provide access to fresh water, and follow their feeding schedules precisely. I also supervise playtime to keep them active and engaged while ensuring their safety.
“Yan is an amazing cat sitter! I was really worried my about leaving my cat for two weeks but Yan kept me updated and made sure my baby was well cared for and had enough playtime! It was great to see the photos and read the personal updates for each visit. 10/10 Recommend booking with Yan!!!”
“Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)”
“Excellent!!! Mikayla did such an amazing job caring for our big boy Luke. She was on time and extremely professional. She sent us a detailed Rover card and great pictures. We’ll book her again next week and beyond!”
“Thank you for taking care of Kupah.”
“Gabriela gave me complete peace of mind to travel to Alabama for my daughter’s wedding. From the moment she appeared for a pre-visit I had complete confidence she would not only fill my cat’s bowl but also understand that Pico needed to spend time purring in someone’s lap twice a day. She faithfully sent photos and videos. I will definitely ask Gabriela to hang out with Pico again when I need to leave town.”
About: I have had at least one dog my entire life, so over 20 years. I have experience with puppies who were just born, all the way to a pup who is 17 years old - almost as old as me! I have owned multiple dogs at a time, trained my own puppies, and have even had farm animals (cows, pigs, goats, chickens, you name it!) My family and friends have relied on me to care for their pups for years, and I have experience with over 20 breeds including (Shih Tzus, Yorkshire Terriers, Chihuahuas, English Bulldogs, Great Pyrenees, German Shepherds, Mountain Curs, Golden Doodles, Golden Retrievers, Doberman Pinchers, and many more!) I am a 23 year old newly married, dog loving girl! I have a 5 year old English bulldog of my own and her and I are the best buddies! I can assure you, your pup will be just as loved as if it was my own. I absolutely love walking dogs and taking them to the dog park (two of my faves) or simply just playing in the yard. Prior to taking care of your pup, I love for them to get familiar with me, so I will take the on a walk or play with them first. I do not offer overnight services in my personal home, but will visit your home so that your sweet pup (or cat!) feels safe and very familiar with its surroundings. I have found that relocating your pup to a place they have never been can make them very nervous, therefore I simply visit your home where your pup is at the times that you typically feed/water, and take out your pup on a normal basis!
“Would book Natalie again. She was professional and Moses Kitty was well taken care of. Natalie went out of her way to do extra little things like tidying up; great about communicating and sending pics. This was Moses first time being alone for an extended period but Natalie made sure that he was well taken care of.”

17. Shelisha F.
“Shelisha is a caring and compassionate person towards people and pets. She has this ability to connect with animals that is truly amazing and endearing. They seem to establish a connection with her almost instantly. I think it has to do with how sensitive towards her and the animal's emotions she is and animals are able to pick up on that. Shelisha has been a great care giver to many pets in the past and will continue to deliver this with a positive frame of mind.”
