About: We are a family that loves dogs and lead an active life! Our kiddos are 13 and 10 and are always learning proper care and respect to animals of all kinds. I have had dogs all of my life and provided training opportunities, vet visits, and love and I wouldn't have it any other way for my children. There are plenty of play opportunities for your pet, but also love a good cuddle time! We love bringing new dogs into our home and making them part of our family. Our current dogs, Hero (3), Lexi (12), and Timber (4 months) are well behaved and trained and love having friends to play with. Because we have 2 kids and 3 dogs, we only watch 1-2 other dogs at a time in order for guest dogs to adjust and relax. I work from home 3 days per week and only go into the office for about 4 hours 2 days per week. My schedule is flexible. I have a fenced dog yard and do not let Rover dogs be outside alone. I feed all the dogs separately to avoid any conflicts.
“Jaime did a great job looking in on my two shy kitties, and making sure they had plenty of food and water. She went above and beyond seeking out the cats and sending me a picture of them under the bed; it was reassurance that I left my cats in good hands while I was away.”
“Took excellent care of my senior pet, Sparkle giving medication each evening, and providing valuable time letting Sparkle to go outside and roam the backyard; allowing time for Sparkle to decided to outside or stay inside.”
“Olivia is wonderful! She was punctual, responsive, and gave detailed updates with lots of pictures every visit! Our cat warmed up to her quickly and was well taken care of!”
About: I am experienced in caring for a diverse range of pets. I am known for my calming demeanor, which is particularly beneficial for pets that exhibit anxiety or shyness. I'm intuitive to pet behavior and respond appropriately. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior dogs and cats. I can administer medications and feed them any special diets. I can feed and water your reptiles, birds, fish, amphibians, chickens and other pets. Pet care is my full time job. I have my own cat at home so I do go home to check in on her if I am house sitting for the week. I am attentive to your pets needs and behavior. If they are shy or have anxiety I will give them the proper space and time to adjust to me. I am respectful of your home and your beloved pets.
“Going on trips for few days feel so easy now because of Lindy! She took care of my cat Pepper while I was a way for coupe days. Lindy is caring, attentive and reliable! Thanks Lindy!”
“Brenna took excellent care of our two cats. This was the first time we used Rover and someone we did not know to care for them. We had our meet and greet the day before we left and my worries were put at ease after meeting her. She knows how to be around animals. She didn’t try to push herself onto them. We got updates on every visit with pictures and our cats really liked Brenna. If we ever need someone to care for our cats again, we will definitely see if Brenna is available.”
About: With a lifetime of personal experience and close to 14 years of watching friends, family, and neighbors' pets, this care comes easily to me. Most recently, my care has been for cats and dogs, which only feels natural as I have always had both around while growing up. However, I’m open to caring for animals of all sizes! I offer the patience, experience, and professionalism to ensure a safe and stress-free experience, both for yourself and your pets. Please reach out with any questions or concerns, and I'll be happy to schedule care for your pet/animal(s). I'm currently working and taking classes, so I am looking for a little flexibility. But any that I have, I would love to work around to ensure your pet has care. Let's connect to see what needs you have! Having a safe and stress-free experience for both the animal and owner is my top priority. Having my own experience with leaving my cats with others, I am often assured by quick daily check-ins with photos and love offering that to clients as well. I understand that I am a stranger in their space, so any other ways to help make it an easy transition are considered.
“Cherith was just what I needed! She dropped in exactly for the requested times, fed my pup, and gave her some attention in the middle of a long span where she’d be alone at home. Thank you so much for your help!!”
“I’ve booked Mykylie twice for drop in visits with my cat. She is absolutely fantastic! She gives caring and detailed updates daily, and takes the cutest pictures to send. She truly loves animals and I’m always so grateful for the care she takes in looking after my kitty cat.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life — with over 10 years of personal ownership and experience in dog sitting, walking, and training. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments — from laid-back seniors to high-energy puppies. I’m especially experienced with young or active dogs and love providing high-energy play, consistent routines, and plenty of cuddles. I’ve also trained dogs in basic obedience, hunting, and even service dog skills, so I’m comfortable reinforcing training while you’re away. I offer walking, feeding, crate training, medication administration, and overnight care — and I always tailor my approach to your dog’s unique needs and personality. Whether your pup needs a calm, consistent presence or someone to match their zoomies, I’ve got you covered! I’m currently out on summer break as a college student so I have a bunch of free time. I’m available weekly for any dog sitting (overnight or just throughout the day), dog walking, check-ins, etc. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space and routine with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding schedules, walking routines, crate time, or medication needs—so your pet stays comfortable and consistent in their environment. I’m also happy to continue any training or reinforcement you’ve already been working on, whether it’s basic commands, crate manners, or specific behavior routines. Consistency is key, and I always strive to keep your pet’s progress moving forward while you’re away. I aim to keep your pet’s day as normal and stress-free as possible, offering them love, play, and structure. I also provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. I’m tidy, responsible, and always make sure your home is just as you left it—or better. Your pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness are my top priorities.
“Beth was such a great sitter for my three cats. She was very communicative and accommodating. During the initial meeting of my cats, she took notes and was extremely thorough. I am definitely a nervous person when it comes to leaving my cats, and I felt very calm knowing they were being cared for by Beth. Will definitely be using her again when leaving town!”

About: I've grown up around animals on a small family farm with sheep, chickens, dogs and cats. Animals have always been a priority in my life. I currently have cats, chickens and goats and I hate to admit it but I will always want more! Caring for pets both that are mine and others has been part of my life since I can remember. From helping birth lambs or caring for mamma cats in labor I've done close to it all when it comes to animal care. Animal behavior has become an interest in the last 8-10 years and I have worked to learn more about training and behaviors as it helps with their individualized needs. Making sure that your animals are not only comfortable but happy and safe while your away is my main goal. Pet care for my animals happens daily. I wake up and am set into the potty and feed schedule not only for my indoor animals but for my outdoor livestock pets as well. Animal care has been subconscious since a young age. I have always enjoyed seeing the happiness of animals and my schedule as of late has made that easier and easier to make a larger part of my life. My pets are spoiled, and yours will be too. Cuddles, loves, and butt scratches on demand in my care. Special instructions will be followed to ensure pet happiness and safety at all times.

“Chloe has been watching my dog Cuddy for years now. She is always so great with Cuddy as well as attentive to her medical needs that she has. I'm never worried about Cuddy while I'm gone and she is always in good health when I pick her up each time. Chloe's kids adore Cuddy and always ask when I can bring her by and keep her entertained when she's there.”

Jessica T.
“We rescued a sweet young little guy who has severe separation anxiety after a most challenging first year of his life. Needless to say, when my husband and I needed to leave our four legged friend for a week, we were nervous about him. Jessica’s warmth, compassion and love for animals is immediately felt upon meeting her. After a brief period of time, our dog warmed up to her, lived his walks with her, cuddled with her and slept by her side each night. Jessica would text us daily updates and pictures! Just simply, the best one could want for their pet 🫶🏻”
