“I cannot say enough great things about Amisha! Sweet, reliable, communicates well, sends great photos…the list goes on! I will definitely have her care for my babies again!”

“Joe Joe loves you! Plus we don't worry about him at all knowing you will take excellent care of him! We will definitely be contacting you for all cat sitting needs! Thank you so much.😻”

“Christina took care of my cat in her home for two weeks. She was patient with him adjusting to being in a strange home and treated her as well as her own cat. She was able to introduce him slowly to her 15 year old cat which he loved. Was so much better than leaving him alone or in a boarding facility. She also provided regular updates/photos/videos. He came home looking healthy . Thank you Christina.”

“Helena has been extremely easy to work with and even willing to take on sitting jobs with short notice. She's made it a lot easier to leave my cats when traveling because I know they are in good hands and with someone who will take good care of them. I look forward to having Helena look after my kitties in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m Carly — a calm, gentle dog caregiver experienced with senior dogs, medication routines, and pups who need a slower or more thoughtful pace. My own dog lived to old age with mobility challenges, so I understand the attention and care these sweet souls require. For more active dogs, happiest outdoors with a leash in hand. Whether your dog needs a brisk walk, a long sniffari, or a fun run to burn off energy, I tailor every visit to your pup’s personality. I offer drop-ins, walks, enrichment, and patient companionship. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I communicate clearly so you always know how they’re doing. If you’re looking for trustworthy, stress-free care, I’d love to support you and your pup. I make my own schedule and work from home, so I'd love to include your animal in my routine. I'm used to animals around all the time and enjoy living life nearby them! ✨ Respectful, Low-Impact Home Care • I follow all house rules exactly as written • I keep things tidy and leave your space as I found it (often better) • Lights, locks, gates, crates, and feeding routines are double-checked • I’m mindful of noise, your neighbors, and overall security 🐾 Consistent, Calm Pet Care • I maintain your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible • I observe subtle changes in mood, appetite, and behavior • I make sure pets get the right amount of attention, rest, and play • Medications, special diets, or senior care are handled with reliability and care
“Veronica was wonderful! Reliable, friendly, accommodating. My cat can be a bit grumpy at times, and shy/wary of people other than me, but she managed to get some pets in, which was impressive. I would (and will) hire her again, should the occassion arise.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm caring for a variety of animals, and I’ve had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. My home has always been a comfortable, pet-friendly place. Today, I share my home with my own pets: a soft coated Wheaten Terrier and a ginger cat. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your animals, and I take pride in providing attentive, loving care while following your instructions closely—so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m lucky to have great walking trails near my house, and I often take my dog on long walks down to the beach. Whether your pet loves adventure or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to match their energy level and routine. My goal is always to build a calm, trusting bond so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m a consultant with a very flexible schedule, and since I work from home most days, I’m around to give your pet plenty of attention and care. My home is very pet-friendly—I allow pets on the furniture and in bed with me—but I'm also happy to follow whatever rules you have for your pet during their stay. I want them to feel at home while keeping consistency with your preferences and routine.
“Cheryl was great watching our needy/attention loving cat over the weekend! You can tell she really cares about each and every animal she looks after, and will do everything to make sure your pet is taken care of while you're away. She gave great updates and the cutest pictures! I am usually a nervous wreck when we have to leave our cat, but I was able to relax this time because we trusted in Cheryl's quality of care so much!”

“Kelsey did a drop-in visit for my two cats and they were so happy! they usually don’t warm up to people that quickly, but Kelsey was able to play with them and send photos. She updated me along the way and gave a detailed description of activities on the rover report card. She was always reachable when I needed her. Highly recommend, and she will be my regular go-to sitter moving forward!”
“Mariia was so amazing! She took care of my two cats and fed our fish for us while away for thanksgiving. She was really quick to respond to my messages and communicated well, which made me feel at ease knowing my animals were greats hands! I would highly recommend Mario’s and I will definitely use her again!!😁”

About: I have always loved taking care of animals, whether it be cleaning up after them, training, washing, walking, and playing with them. Though I was brought up since day one with 3 cats, and was the primary caretaker for each one, I’ve always had friends with dogs I could help take care of. I have worked all types of pups from German Shepherds, Pit-Bulls, Dachshunds, a grown Mastiff, and a variety of mixes of all ages and sizes! I love them like my own! I recently moved to the area and started to work remotely. Since moving, pet sitting and dog walking have become part of the daily routine. I do have a prior engagement on Tuesdays, but can be available in the afternoons. I try and understand the animal’s personality first, gain their trust second, and provide as much love and support as last. Every animal is different so I make it a mission to talk with my client’s and gain as much insight as possible. After that, my clients can expect a million photos and videos of their pets whether that’s on walks, they’re pets eating, or just getting a bell rub and cuddles! I try my best to keep them as active as possible while ensuring their safety is taken into consideration.
“Darian has been an amazing dog sitter and walker for Belle. She is reliable, caring, and clearly loves what she does. Belle is always excited to see her and comes home happy and well exercised. Her updates and attention to detail give me total peace of mind. I highly recommend Darian to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog. I will definitely be using her again every time we leave town if she is available. Thanks Darian!”

Elise was very thoughtful and communicative while taking care of not only my two cats, but my mom’s as well while we were away on a family vacation. One of my mom’s cats needs medicine and she did a great job of making sure she received it each day. Our cats are pretty picky with their wet food and she provided extra care and attention to make sure they received the food the way they like it and ate it. We appreciated the care she provided them all!

Leah does a great job taking care of my 18-year-old cat. She is reliable and friendly and has taken care of my cat several times. My cat normally will not come out from under the bed for anyone, but she will come out for Leah. I recommend her and will definitely use her again!
Selina was amazing with my special-needs cat. She followed instructions perfectly, was gentle and patient, and sent regular updates that made me feel at ease. I could tell my cat felt safe and cared for. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter! Thank you Selina!!!
