“Erin was awesome taking care of our four cats! This included multiple litter boxes, two of them that needed medications, and three different types of food to give them, as well as playtime! Great at communication and loved the daily rover cards with pictures and updates!”
“Kevin was great. He spent time with both my cat Maggie and bunny Snickers and sent me pictures each day. He was very responsible. It was good to be on vacation and know my fur babies were in good hands and being taken care of.”
“Jenna has taken wonderful care of my two cats in the past while I've been vacationing. This time came up unexpectedly when a family emergency occurred and I needed to fly out in hours. She responded immediately saying she could care for them and could also let me extend the booking as needed. I'm so grateful for her kindness and the relief I felt knowing they would be well looked after.”
“Jackie was terrific! She took great care of our pets over the holiday weekend. She had great communication, sent pictures, and was very responsive. Our cats and bunny were happy and healthy when we returned. Thank you, Jackie!”
“McKenzie has been amazing with caring for our cat Jackson who can be rather difficult to give medicine to. She was so patient and calm with him and was able to give him his medicine without a struggle. She is also great with our other cat Jemma. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have taken care of animals all of my life including dogs and cats. Although dogs have my heart any animal will always get love from me! I am a teacher during the school year so I have summer's off to be able to work with animals. I own 2 dogs and they are very active and energetic. I am one that has to pet the animals if they are out and about. I will not be able to have animals in my own home because I have a reactive dog, so I have experience with that as well.
About: Ever since I was a little girl I was obsessed with dogs. I think my husband married me because he knows that I will ask strangers to pet their dog without hesitation. Anyways I grew up with golden retrievers and now I have 3 rescues that all have wildly different personalities but are well mannered and excited to meet your pup! Please know that I want you to feel confident your dog is in good hands. I’m absolutely open to meeting at a neutral location like a doggy park or even having you do a walk by on the path behind our house to ensure your dog is comfortable too. Our dog home of two just recently turned into three. I work from home which gives me the freedom to care for my dogs at all hours of the day. Cancelled meeting - no problem! How about some tug of war or a walk. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for your dog to run and play! We have an extra large kennel in the event your dog prefers that security rather than being free range. We can also fit your kennels if they have one. If they prefer to be free range they are welcome to hang out with me as I work from home. Our two older dogs have a schedule down to a T and know the drill when it’s time for bed based on our bedtime command or even from our simplisafe automatic alarm being set. 🤣 Our younger rescue is quickly catching up to speed on our schedule and is going to be the most excited (next to me) with greeting your pup.
“Hi Haley you were wonderful in taking care of Leia for me. Haley is very pro sweet and keeps you updated with your pup! being out of town i had no worries from the first contact knowing that she would be attentive. i would recommend someone like her anytime of the day. Thanks”
“Great cat sitting service from Emma, she stayed in our home with our multiple cats. They were happy and content when we got home, and the house was clean and fresh in tip top shape!”
“Great communication - wonderful about picture taking! Would have Mary back again any time!! She was even great about getting the boys to go potty in the rain - and that is not an easy task.”
About: I have loved animals since I was small. I have a 12 year old gsp/hound mix who is always looking for pets and love. My favorite animal are raccoons, but my husband says I can't have one as a pet ;) I’m currently a SAHM so my availability is relatively flexible. I am available to drop in for walks, potty breaks, feeding, and as many snuggles as are needed! I have a good understanding of dog behavior and body language as well as a desire to make all pets and owners comfortable and happy!

Hannah & Brandon H.
“We are so lucky to have found such a wonderful dog sitter! From the moment we dropped off our energetic little pup, we knew he was in great hands. We received regular photo updates that showed him playing, snuggling, and clearly having the time of his life. It’s obvious he got tons of pets, love, and attention — just like one of the family. He also enjoyed plenty of exercise and socialization with their dogs, which he absolutely loves. It’s such a relief knowing he’s not just being watched, but truly cared for and having fun. He came home happy, tired (in the best way!), and clearly well-loved — with maybe a few treats along the way! This is hands down one of the best sitters we have ever used. Their home is like a second home for our dog, and we’re so grateful for the peace of mind they provide every time.”
