“Julie is amazing! Another trip taken knowing our sweet boy was in good hands. A trip with two littles is fun with a touch of hectic but Julie’s wonderful, descriptive updates full of adorable pictures keep me so relieved that our Buzzy (our cute, old man kitty) is all good getting spoiled back home! Our sweet boy needs nightly meds. If you are in need for someone to take care of your sweet baby with any med needs, she’s your girl! Thankful we have her as our trusted sitter!”


“Katie is amazing!! We can’t recommend her enough! In addition to taking wonderful care of our cat (and dealing with his health issues!), she went above & beyond to take care of our house, our mail, and our plants while we were gone. We are thrilled to have found her and are already looking forward to having her sit for us again!!”

About: Having been a lifelong animal enthusiast and pet owner, I bring 15 years of hands-on experience from my involvement with a local animal rescue to my pet care services. I am adept at caring for a diverse array of animals, from neonate kittens to senior cats, as well as dogs, and fish. My skills include administering medications (oral, liquid, insulin injections with blood glucose monitoring), managing feeding tubes, and providing subcutaneous fluids. I am also comfortable with all types of diets, including fresh and raw. As a retired teacher, I am highly organized and detail-oriented, ensuring your pet receives the highest level of care. My aim is to offer you peace of mind while you're away, and I am available to help with household tasks like collecting mail and watering plants. I am open to work right now as I'm currently working part time. I can adjust my schedule based on your needs. Currently no overnights as I am taking care of my parents full-time. Pets will always be safe in your home, I will be sure that doors are secure when I leave and your pets are happy! They will receive lots of love and pets, just like my own. :)

“Ruth was very professional and right on time. Happily followed the instructions I provided and refilled my pets food containers. Was very prompt with communication. Highly recommend.”



“Nikki was super amazing at helping me out last minute as a sitter for my two cats while I was away for work. She came over for a meet and greet before I left as well which I thought was nice of her. She sent me lots of pictures and sometimes stayed a bit later than she needed to with the boys which was very kind of her. All in all I have no complaints, I would absolutely use her again if I ever need a sitter for the boys!”


“I used Rover for the first time, so very glad I found it. I was pleased to have Fen’s updates and photos each time she visited Annie along with her comments. I left a cash tip for her. Thank you, Fen! I will certain use your service again and recommend it!”


“Donovan did a great job taking care of my cats during a weekend trip. He kept me updated on their well being, sent lots of pictures, and was overall a pleasant person to work with. He even somehow got my skittish girl to come out - a feat no other sitter has accomplished. I highly recommend!”



“Barbara did a great job taking care of my boys (cats) while I was away. She showed up as scheduled and took care of feeding and cleaning the litter boxes. I got photos each day which was fun to see and a video one day as well. Nice to know that they were well taken care of!!!”

About: I’ve been in Healthcare the past 15 years, and although I love caring for patients, I have always enjoyed caring for animals even more. I have looked after family members and friends pets in the past, while they were away or just needed some extra help. I’m currently fully available for your cats needs and offer drop-ins. I am very detail oriented, and willing to follow through with whichever way you would like your pet to be cared for. Safety is always a high priority for me as well. I look forward to meeting and caring for your fur baby! I’ve recently decided to step away from Healthcare full time. So I will be available to check in on your fur baby any day or night. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will treat your babies just like I treat my own. I’m dedicated to following your schedule and any routines you have in place.

“Kallie enjoyed herself and was well-cared for at Molly’s home. We received text messages and photos most days keeping us up-to-date regarding her care. Molly responded quickly to our questions. She is very sweet and an obvious dog lover. We plan to request Molly again for our next trip.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 20 years, from raising my own to helping friends and family with pet sitting and walks. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone else with your furry family member or send them to a boarding facility. My goal is to be that reliable, caring person you can count on, treating your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I work from home full time and have the flexibility to care for all of your pets needs. I am happy to board, provide walks, playtime and anything else your pet could need while you are away. Please feel free to reach out and ask any questions. Spoiling your pets is my priority! We have a fully fenced in yard and a nice subdivision to take nice long walks. Sadly, our precious pup recently passed away so I currently have no other pets in the household. It is just myself, my partner and his 15 year old son who is here a couple days during the week. Currently only accepting one family at a time to ensure the comfort and safety of everyone, and allows me to devote all of my time to just your fur baby :)

“Hannah has been a terrific sitter for our new pup. Prompt and informative communication, always leaves multiple photos and comments, highly reliable, and she’s clearly knowledgeable about dogs, kindly offering tips and suggestions when asked.”


“Kayleigh took great care of my house and cats! She was quick to reply to texts, sent photos of the cats, and left my house in great condition. She picked up my booking at the last minute, and was a delight to work with. I fully recommend Kayleigh.”


“Trina did a great job with our pups! She made sure they went out in our yard and pics showed that they were so happy they were sunbathing. When we arrived our pups were happy to see us, but they looked like they had a good day! We will for sure be using her again in the near future!”


About: I have stayed overnight with numerous senior dogs for neighbors as well as administered medication for my own dog for 3+ years on a daily basis and adore spending my time with dogs of all ages amd sizes! I am currently not working so my availability is entirely free to fill with attention for your furbabies!! Walks and playtime is my passion! Looking for someone needing regular visits is preferred but open to all! I have much experience crating dogs in homes as well as hanging out with thise that are well- behaved enough to roam freely in the house! With regular checks for accidents and ensuring food and water of course!

“Kaitlin provided very courteous, conscientious and reliable care for 10 days not only to our cat but also to several patio plants. She was also kind enough to bring in the mail. Upon our return, we found the house just as we left it all living things thriving. We welcomed her to contact us as soon as any question arose, and we really appreciated her communicating with us to seek information whenever needed. It was always clear that she wanted both Franklin to be a comfortable kitty and us to be happy clients. We highly recommend Kaitlin!”


About: I had a dog growing up and always loved walking around with him. He made me get up and be outside everyday and now I just have a general live for pets and the outdoors. I’m currently a full time student and have a part time job. My schedule is kind of weird so I have Wednesday through Monday available to take care of pets. Starting Wednesday after 3:50 and ranging to about anytime Friday-Sunday. The only day I’m not available is Tuesday but depending on your need we might be able to work around that. I have experience with some bigger dogs but mostly with smaller dogs and cats. I would keep all dogs leashed at all times and make sure cats have any food of water they need.

“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter! From the moment Jennifer walked into our house, our kitties loved her. While we were gone overseas visiting my in-laws, Jennifer still made sure to send pictures and updates of our kitties. It helped my husband and I both so much knowing they were in good hands. I highly recommend her services to anyone!”


About: I have more than 20 years of experiencing caring for dogs and ensuring their happiness and wellbeing. From large to small, I love them all. I currently have a Newfoundland and a Labrador. I am comfortable giving medications to any pets who may need them. I work from home and therefore available to spend as much time with your pet or in your home as may be preferred. My schedule is highly flexible and I strive to be accommodating. I aim to treat everyone's home as if it were my own and will try my best to leave it cleaner and im better shape than before my arrival.

Karen I.
“Leaving a furry love one in someone else’s care can be incredibly stressful, but with Karen, that worry completely vanishes. I’ve trusted Karen to care for my pet cat Sadie for the past 9 years and she’s simply exceptional. She treats my pet as if it were her own - with love, patience and genuine attentiveness. She is dependable , flexible, compassionate, and incredibly respectful of routines and any special needs. Beyond her care for animals, she's a wonderful human being - kind, thoughtful, intelligent, considerate and very easy to communicate with. Any pet would be lucky to be in her care.”

Nicole T.
“Nicole is a very caring and empathetic individual. She extends this courtesy not only to people, but to animals as well. She is tender with them and is very mindful of their individual personalities and characteristics. My own pets have always enjoyed her company and find her to be a calming presence. She is attententive to individual pet needs like monitored and measured feeding, time schedules, administering medication, as well as understanding that each pet has a unique disposition of their own. She recognizes that play is just as important for some pets as any other need and makes an effort to engage pets in a way that keeps them physically and intellectually stimulated. I highly recommend Nicole for your pet sitting needs!”

Abigail K.
“Abby is fantastic! She loves all our pets (cats/dogs/turtle) as if they are her own. She’s very attentive and ensures they are well cared for, loved, snuggled, and gives lots of attention.
