“I never worry about leaving my cats when I know Laura is dropping in to check on them. Laura always goes above and beyond and I come home to happy cats every time. Thanks Laura!”
“Ajia was wonderful! We love her! She sent updates and pictures. She followed our instructions and requests. She did exactly what we wanted and more. We will definitely ask her back. She’s our new cat sitter. 🐱”
“Kaycee is fantastic!!! She's prompt, friendly and helpful. She cared for our two cats twice a day for about a week and completely put my mind as ease. After each visit, she sent updates and photos so we could see what the kitties were up to. They got a lot of playtime with her, which they loved! I couldn't be happier with our experience and I highly recommend her!”
About: For as long as I can remember, I have had an animal in my house! I have volunteered at animals shelters and been exposed to many sizes and different types of cats and dogs. I am usually flexible with scheduling depending on my job. At home, I have two cats and used to have a dog. I loved taking my dog for long walks in our neighborhood and laying around with my cat. I am a respectable young adult who care deeply for animals and other people. I would love to get to know you and all of you animals! Please, feel free to reach out! I work 4 and a half days a week at my “big girl” job! My weekends are completely open starting mid-Friday. I also start later in the mornings so I can pop by for a morning walk and/or come by on my long lunch hour for visits during the week. With our two boys at home, I am unable to keep other pets in the house, but am happy to spend as much time as needed at your home!
“Cecilia was absolutely great! She communicated well and asked about the dogs habits and needs before she went to visit so she knew about any special needs. She also sent a ton of pictures which was very much appreciated. I live that she spent so much time with our pets and made sure they weren't lonely or bored.”
About: I am Annie! 29 years old and currently working part time at mayo while I wait to get into nursing school! I have a 4 year old dog, she is a spayed female English springer and field spaniel mix! About 35 pounds and she goes everywhere with me, she is friendly with dogs, cats, humans and kids! Before I decided to start the nursing program I was a vet tech for 8 years and pride in my experience of caring for animals. I have delt with ill animals, medications/injections, non ambulatory, incontinent, aggression and more. I have done dog and house sitting for about 10 years, it started with friends and family and continued to grow. I am easy going, active and very independent. Not married and no kids so I have a lot of free time! I’d love to help with a short stay, long stay or drop in/walk! 🐶🐱 Pet care is part of my daily schedule, I take pride in it and love the companionship. If I didn’t have my animals, I’d be lost. Safety first. I will always go above and beyond for your pets, as if they were my own! Our pets are apart of our family.
About: Hello! Thank you for taking a moment to view my profile. I am an experienced, compassionate pet sitter and I also have a degree as a Vet Tech, so you can be sure your pet will be in good hands. I have taken care of pets in my neighborhood for over 25 years now, and have many long-term clients. I enjoy long walks, running, playing, snuggling, you name it. I don't just show up and sit there. I have experience giving meds, changing bandages, and more as well, so if there's an extra step needed to ensure your pet is healthy and happy, I am able to assist. Why I love dog sitting I have had animals my whole life, grew up on a farm. I’ve been pet sitting for 25 years for a large variety of pets. I’m comfortable with all breeds, ages, and temperament. My experience administering medication Yes. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I have administered pills, shots, ointments, etc. I have worked in a traditional clinic setting as well as in some pretty remote locations in Mexico so I am well versed in a variety of meds and situations.
“We hired Maya to give our dogs a potty break while my husband and I were out for the day, and she was absolutely wonderful! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pups weren’t stuck inside all day. Maya was prompt, reliable, and kind. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone trustworthy and caring with your pets.”
“Megan was wonderful Rover Sitter! She was quick, attentive and responsible. She made sure our lil' guy was taken care of and even went the extra mile by checking up on our house after a nasty storm rolled through the area. You're in good hands with Megan. Highly recommend!”
About: Growing up, we always had animals in the house! I enjoy being around them, & giving them back the love & care they so selfishly show to us. I would LOVE to take care of yours while you’re away :) I work a full time job, but I am off most Tuesday afternoons, Fridays, and weekends. M-Th is usually busy for me, but beyond that I am open (with timely notice). I am more than willing to visit your house to take care of your pet and their needs! Whether that means playing with them indoors, or outdoors (no matter the conditions) I would be happy to. I currently do not offer pet sitting overnight in my household / yours, just due to my family’s current schedule.
About: Hi, my name is Megan. I have been volunteering at my local Humane Society, for over 2 years, so I’ve had lots of experience with so many different breeds of dogs! I enjoy all types of animals. Potty breaks I know are important along with tons of play time. I am able to learn/ adapt to your pets needs! All animals are wonderful in my eyes! Lots of pets and scratches, and belly rubs also included! I personally would love to be able to watch your pets. It’s my dream job I’d say! I’m very laidback, and have a calm personality . Also I’ll treat your pet as I would my very own. I work part time! So most days I am available to walk or watch your animals! Just message me to talk more about how I can care for your animal(s)! I would do anything for my animals. There is a fenced in big back yard! My 2 dogs love it. I keep my two dogs as healthy as possible! I love them like family.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes for years, and what sets me apart is the strong relationships I build with every pup I meet. I take the time to learn their personalities, needs, and preferences — whether that means keeping up with an energetic puppy or giving extra patience and care to a senior dog. I’m great at sticking to routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or daily walks, and I know how important consistency is for a happy, stress-free pup. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening snuggles, I can easily adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I love being able to dedicate time throughout my week to spend with animals and keep them happy, comfortable, and cared for. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, which is why I’m happy to come to your home so your pet can stay in their own familiar environment. This helps reduce stress and keeps their routine consistent. I always take the time to get to know each pet’s needs and personality, and I’m mindful of keeping their space clean, calm, and secure. Whether it’s following specific instructions or just giving extra cuddles, your pet’s well-being is always my top priority.
About: My love for animals started when I was young. I would dog sit here and there when I was little and as I grew up I started taking on more serious, committed pet sitting jobs. I am willing to look after a variety of pets. Myself I have 2 dogs, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and 2 chickens. I also am a part of a foster group. I love staying busy and I love dogs even more! I currently work full time between my three jobs but my schedule is pretty flexible. I mostly take on jobs where pets do not need someone there 24/7. I don’t take pets into my own home because of my own dogs. I also have many small animals and I don’t trust others pets around them. I like to keep the dog in their home so they are more comfortable with their surroundings.
About: I’ve taken care of my beagle/lab for 10 years, but have been taking care of animals for most of my life! I also have experience checking in and watching friends/family pets. From hampsters to sheep, I have a lot of experience! I have a part time work from home job and have a very flexible schedule. We have two young children, so we don’t leave the area much. At home I have a fenced in yard and a dog who loves spending time outside. I have a clean smoke free and kid friendly home. We use all non toxic products that is safe for animals and humans.
“Kiana was amazing during her drop in visits with our cats. She was able to get them to play and eat treats. She kept the litter boxes clean and the kitties happy. She even watered my plants! Kiana is a great communicator and I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since age 10, I’ve slowly learned more about legitimate dog training since having my own dog. I prioritize dogs wellbeing over everything. I work from home on Mondays and most Fridays and usually leave the office around 4pm during the week days and am completely free during the weekends. Chat with me and we can work around your schedule and pup’s needs! I have one pup of my own in a small one bedroom apartment and for that reason do not allow in home boarding but if my pup is welcome in yours I am more than happy to stay in homes!

Madelyn B.
“Maddie was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter! She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a natural way with animals. My cat can be a bit shy, but Maddie was so gentle and patient that they quickly became fast friends. I appreciated the regular updates and photos — it was such a relief to know my cat was safe, happy, and well cared for while I was away. I came home to a relaxed and content kitty, which says everything. I highly recommend Maddie to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter. I’d gladly book her again!”
Addie B.
“What can I say? Addie is amazing! My animals and I adore her. She’s reliable, trustworthy, honest, and caring. She takes extra time to understand pets needs/routines. I only trust a few people with my fur babies and Addie is at the top of that list. She has stayed with my pets for a week at a time and I’ve never had to worry about them. Trust me when I say this…you WANT her watching your pets!”
