“Ian was a super pet watcher for us he was very reliable and had great communication throughout a long day! I appreciate him very much. I could tell our pu ps were very quickly at ease with him and I did not feel stressed or worried myself. I would 100% utilize his services again!”

“Olivia was absolutely wonderful while we were away! She dropped in twice to let our dogs out, feed them, and make sure they were well cared for. She treated our home with so much respect and care, truly like it was her own. One of our favorite parts was all the beautiful pictures she took of the dogs while we were gone, it gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile seeing how happy and comfortable they were. You can really tell she genuinely cares about animals.”

“Kelsie was so patient with me while booking. I think I changed the plan 3-4 times and she was understanding until I made a final decision. And then took care of my dogs with intention, making sure they were comfortable while I was gone. Updates and photos with every check in!”

About: Hi! My name is Raquel Messinger. I’ve had multiple dogs and other animals throughout my childhood. All of my animals have had long, happy, and healthy lives. I started doing this because of my love of all animals, they make my day! I have a puppy and have had senior dogs as well so I have plenty of experiences for all ages. I only have school and work for a couple hours during the day, so I would have plenty of time to spend with your dog! I can take your dogs on walks, provide them with lots of love, mental stimulation, and more. I will follow any schedule you might have.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 13 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog. For the past 7 years, I’ve provided drop-in pet care for families in my neighborhood and have regularly house- and pet-sat for various families. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets and take pride in being reliable, respectful, and attentive to every animal’s unique needs. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I’ll treat them like one of my own—with plenty of love, patience, and attention to detail. Hi! I’m available to care for your pet Monday through Friday after 4 PM and all day Saturday and Sunday. I work a steady 7 AM–3 PM job during the week, so I’m experienced with balancing a structured routine while making sure pets get the love, attention, and care they need. On workdays, I’m available for evening walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins after 4 PM. I prioritize keeping pets active, comfortable, and emotionally cared for—even during busy weeks. On my days off (Saturday–Sunday), I offer flexible scheduling, longer walks, and extended drop-in visits or sitting. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a cuddle session, or a weekend stay, I’ve got you covered. Let me know how I can help care for your furry friend! I respect your space and provide reliable, attentive care right in your pet’s familiar environment. I follow all instructions for feeding, walking, playtime, and any specific routines your pet needs. I keep you updated with photos and notes so you have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet is shy or social, young or senior, I adapt my care to make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for at all times.

About: I've had my own rescue pup for 8 years, he is my pride and Joy. I have always loved animals and nothing makes me happier than being around them, Happy dog happy life! Your pets well-being is my top priority. Whatever your furry friend may need I can happily accommodate. I assisted at an in home boarding business for 4 years. I worked with all different breeds, ages, health conditions, and personalities! I also cared for Labrador pups from birth to when they were ready for the perfect home. I volunteered at Valley of the kings working mainly with the hundreds of rescue cats. I've also worked with farm animals and a few exotic animals at the sanctuary. I currently have a very open schedule, most days and most times work. Early morning can be arranged as well as late night, of course everything in-between. I am always very patient and loving with animals. I'll take the time to bond with your furry friend to establish trust and make sure the care is the best possible for them.

“Fallon is awesome - loving and kind to my pups. She’s reliable and a good communicator as well. Four Paws Up 🐾 🐾🐾🐾!!”

“Victoria did an amazing job with Panini! I feel she really went above and beyond. I got photos throughout the visit which I really appreciated. Panini, my cat, was very well cared for and I definitely recommend booking with Victoria!”

About: Had cats all my life and dogs for last 12 years. Animals have a sixth sense about people and I'm one of those they seek out for rubs, cuddles, playtime, snacks and love... I'm not currently working so I'm available for any time through the remainder of this April within 30 miles of my town. Once I'm working full time again I will be available evenings closer to home and all times on the weekends. I'm also available for overnights at your location and can leave for work from anywhere. I will only be able to care for pets at your home as we currently have 2 cats (one who is very persnickedy) and a senior dog rescue who is going blind and is afraid of everyone.

“Renee did a fantastic job with in-home visits with my dog Rookie. It was my first time ever using Rover and Renee went above and beyond. She made the process very easy and Rookie had a great weekend with her!”

About: Grew up around dogs and cats (and some farm animals) but currently living in an apartment that doesn’t allow them! Need my fix of pet love! I am a teacher so I am available more in the summer. During the school year I am available before 7 am and after 3 pm. Available most weekends. Although I can’t keep your pet(s) at my home, I’m happy to visit yours and/or do any other house sitting needs! Former babysitter, dog sitter, and house sitter.

“My kitty and I have really appreciated Jennifer's care and dedication, and highly recommend her! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Magnum!!!”

About: I frequently pet sit for my both my sisters and parents animals. One was a siberian husky, another is a dachsund/terrier mix and the others were a mixed hound breed and a poodle/bichon frise. I also petsit and did overnight visits with a previous professors golden retriever and golden/Irish setter mix. I own a small mixed breed dog (similar to a Jack russell)Russell, and grew up with a Brittany Spaniel and a West Highland White Terrier. I also have frequent contact with my boyfriends parents dogs: a dachshund, and a cattle dog. I work part-time currently, and am scheduled Wed, Thurs, and Fri, and the occasional Saturday. I am available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day, and mornings on Wed, and Thurs. I currently live in a condo so my small dog is ideal for the space. Since my dog is reactive to other dogs, I would be doing only clients homes overnights, visits, and walks.

About: I have had pets my entire life, and have been around friends and family who do as well. I grew up with a dog and multiple cats so I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have also recently found an interest in visiting animals at the shelter and gently connecting with them where they’re at and giving them the love they deserve in their own individual way. I value how every animal is very unique and enjoy getting to spend time with and understand them. I currently have some part time things going on, but multiple times a week I can fit in time for pet care including time on the weekends. At this point I won’t be able to care for pets in my home. But I am responsible and trustworthy, and can follow directions and ask follow up questions should there be any-trying my best to provide the most honest and authentic pet care as possible.

About: I’ve been around dogs forever now! I’ve had all kinds of experiences with all different breeds. I can’t wait to love your pet almost as much as you do! I’m currently working from home and would love to have an excuse to get out of the house a little more often. I also love taking walks! I have a fenced yard and cameras set up around my house. I also have a security system in my house for doors being left open and so forth.
