“McKenna was great and our pups loved her! She sent pictures and kept us informed with her drop in visits and we would definitely have her back any time!”
“Awesome pet sitter. She took care of our kitty with great care. Our kitty loved the attention from her while gone for the week.”
“Donovan has been an exceptional caretaker and we are incredibly grateful for his professionalism, kindness, and expertise! He took the time to educate me on how to take care of my puppy, always was on time for the drop ins, and provided updates everyday. Additionally, if my puppy had an accident, he was kind enough to change the sheets and also played calming music on the TV every time he left to decrease my puppy's anxiety. Donovan is a gem and cannot say enough positive things about the experience. Thank you Donovan!!”
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. :)
“Trina is a wonderful puppy sitter. Very reliable, even buying treats and toys for our dogs. She also took care of them over Christmas time. I would recommend her to everyone! Kim Matthews”
About: I’ve been dog-sitting since I was a child, caring for a wide variety of breeds—from Toy Poodles to Golden Doodles. Dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities have a special place in my heart. I currently have a 10-year-old Havaton named Winnie, who’s been my loyal companion for years, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone who treats your dog like family. Over the years, I’ve walked, fed, bathed, and cared for dogs with unique needs—from anxious pups to high-energy breeds and sweet seniors. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, seen, and deeply loved. Whether your dog needs extra cuddle time, play breaks, or just a calm, reassuring presence, I tailor my care to match their individual personality and routine. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine right now! I recently graduated this past May and am currently focusing on finding the right post-grad job. While I navigate this next chapter, I’m using pet sitting and dog walking to stay active, earn some extra income, and spend time doing something I genuinely love. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for them brings me so much joy and peace. Plus, I enjoy getting outside, going for walks, and being present with animals—it’s the perfect balance while I focus on my career goals. I’m flexible, dependable, and committed to making sure your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and keeping their routine consistent. In your home, I aim to make your pet feel secure while you’re away by sticking closely to their feeding schedule, walking routine, and preferred activities—whether that’s playtime, snuggles, or quiet companionship. I treat your space with respect and make sure your pet feels loved and at ease in their familiar environment. If I’m caring for pets in my home, they’ll be part of a calm, loving environment with plenty of attention, potty breaks, and cozy spots to relax. I have two cats and one dog who are all friendly and used to being around other animals, so I always make sure introductions are gradual and stress-free. No matter the setting, I show up with patience, kindness, and the goal of making your pet feel like I’m a trusted friend, not just a sitter.
About: I’ve dog sat since I was 14 years old! Have 2 pups of my own and experience with all aged dogs. Can’t wait to meet yours! I’m part time currently so have a lot of room to work your special friend into my schedule. Happy to take care before or after work as well. I’m happy to host your pup as long as they get along with other dogs! My dog loves to have new friends around! I have experience with both fenced and un fenced yards as well as crating pups.
About: I have had my 2 dogs since they are 8 weeks old. I would be so happy to look after your babies. I have a fenced yard with protection from dogs getting out. I currently work from home more than 3 days a week and can change accordingly. I’m flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. Your babies will have 24/7 care and love with us. I have a fenced yard, a large dog crate, couple dog beds. I have one golden retriever and a Labrador retriever. They are very friendly and playful. We have giant water fountain and toys for dogs.
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.
“Jennifer took great care of my cat with drop in visits while I was out of town. I really appreciated that she came over to meet me and my cat before starting the service. I am new to Rover so it made me feel more comfortable getting to meet her first so I appreciated her taking the extra time to do that. She sent me daily updates throughout the service to let me know how my cat was doing. Jennifer did extra by washing my cat’s food bowls, vacuuming around the litter box, and took time to play with her and give her extra attention. I would definitely book services again with Jennifer and recommend her to others.”
“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 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.

“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. Wherever Abby comes over, they all (well, not the turtle) flock to her for attention/scratches. Will always use Abby when schedules align and highly recommend you do too.”
