Top rated De Forest pet sitters

“Jen was phenomenal! She cared for Dexter like he was her own, she was punctual, sent lots of pictures and followed care instructions well. Should I need care in the future, she is someone I have come to trust both in my home and with my best friend.”


“Katie was very punctual and responsive! She was so kind to my cat, followed all instructions, and my cat looked forward to her visits filled with lots of petting! I would recommend her and have her provide care in the future!”



“Allison has been very pleasant and professional to work with. She communicates well and always leaves a detailed report on how the visit went. I have a new 5 month old German Shepherd rescue dog (who is still recovering from surgery). She can be a handful at times. It’s been such a relief knowing that she’s in capable hands with Allison. I highly recommend her for dog walking and/or drop in visits.”


“Megan was wonderful with our senior cat and dog while we were away for several days! She was always on time for her scheduled visits, gave lots of detailed updates, and made us feel like our pets were truly taken care of. We would love to rebook with her in the future!”


“Alanna did a excellent job taking care of my 2 cats! She went the extra mile, checking around my house because my cats will hide. Alanna sent pictures and carried out all services. I highly recommend her!”


“Toni went above and beyond! Not only did she take superior care of our little cavapoo, Bailey, she brought our garbage cans in from the curb and offered to check in on Bailey one more time if we were running late. Excellent care and service!!”


“Brandy was amazing for my sweet, old cat, Emi! Emi can feel anxious in new situations, but anyone can tell that Brandy has such a warm, loving presence with animals so Emi warmed up to her immediately and got lots of love. Brandy was also super flexible and accommodating, which was so helpful around the holidays. Would absolutely recommend!!”


“Michel is awesome! She takes great care of my kitties and they love her. I feel really comfortable going out of town knowing that she will be taking care of my pets. She sends me such great photos of them also. Would highly recommend Michel!”


“Susan and Molly are wonderful! We love all of the photos they send of our kitties playing with them. We will definitely continue having Susan and Molly as our pet sitters. They even took care of our tortoise while we were away. :)”


“Taryn was kind and very patient with my older, unsure little dog. Everyday Taryn took her time to get to know him. She was friendly and gentle allowing him to get used to her visits.”


About: I am open for Dog walking and house sitting for all sizes of dogs and cats, as well as general care for small critters such as rabbits, hamsters, fish, birds and guinea pigs. I also have many years experience with horses, goats, sheep, and pigs. I have a very flexible schedule at this time. I've been an animal owner since I was a child. Always had a dog and cats growing up, also had fish, birds, hamsters and rabbits over the years. Despite being a part time student I have all online classes so fitting in your pets needs are very easily done at any hour. I live in an area of many bike trails and walking paths as well as a personal fenced in yard for any dogs who don't have access to dog parks or have socializing issues in large groups. I am currently unemployed and looking for a Part Time job. I will schedule animal care around that future schedule. I miss my rover days when I switched to full time work prior. I treat every clients pets and home with respect and care for it as my own. When I'm house sitting i often supply my own snacks and such and tell pet owners they don't need to supply me. I stay within the set boundaries of each home as well.

“We've just hired Tammy for the first time to care for our dog while we were out of town for a day. She was friendly and professional every step of the way and clearly likes dogs! Our dog is pretty shy with strangers and he warmed up to her nicely. I would use her services again and recommend her to others.”


About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician with 5 years of experience in the veterinary setting. I have had pets my whole life and in college when I wasn't able to have pets I spent time at the local humane society playing with cats and walking dogs. I currently have 2 cats, Willow and Kinzley, and 2 dogs, Dumptruck and Ranger. Dumptruck is a 110lb St. Bernard mix and Ranger is a 26lb unknown mix. Dumptruck is a gentle giant but Ranger has anxiety and is on medications for this so I am comfortable working with dogs that aren't as confident on lease or around strangers. I am currently taking a break from my job to spend more time with family so my schedule varies but is usually open and flexible. I want to make sure that food and water are appropriately accessible when and how your pets are used to. In addition, I also would like to ensure your pets are getting appropriate enrichment I also want to make sure that litterboxes are cleaned regularly.

About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I connect with each animal and get to know what is normal behavior and what isn't so I can quickly identify if anything seems off. You can rest easy knowing you'll be immediately informed if anything seems concerning. And, I'll also provide updates with each visit, including pictures. I am an excellent communicator and very detail-oriented. I ask lots of questions during meet-and-greets to ensure there is no disruption in your pet's usual care and routine. I work from home and have a very flexible work schedule, so I can make frequent visits almost any day of the week. If your pet has health concerns (meds, needs to be fed at specific times, etc) or needs a specific schedule, I can accommodate for that the vast majority of the time. I will always communicate any schedule conflicts before finalizing a booking. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I approach animals I'm just getting to know on their terms so they can feel safe and secure. I am always sure to leave things in your home exactly how you want them, including cleaning up after myself or any pet messes I find.

Eric G.
“Eric is a trained CVT and has been great with both my cats as well as dogs. He takes the time to understand the needs of the animal and will go at their pace to make sure they are just as comfortable with him. Having been trained in animal body language, he understands that some animals need to take it slower than others or might need some special care including but not limited to specialty instructions when it comes to their walks or even pill administration. I always know my pets will be taken care of when he is around.”


Heather S.
“Heather has cared for several of my dogs over the years. She’s kind, caring, and loves animals. She takes care of them like they are her own and is willing to give medications (which can be a trick sometimes!), make sure they get plenty of snuggles, play time, and exercise. She is very honest and trustworthy and always follows up if something seems off or out of the ordinary. I highly recommend her caring for your furry friends!”
