“I am so happy and relieved to have Carolyne care for my cats while I was away. I appreciated daily photos and updates on my "babies". I feel she went above and beyond my expectations. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you so much Carolyne!!”
“Madde is the absolute best!! My dog had a medical issue that needed immediate attention and I was thirty minutes away at work, however, Madde took our dog to our vet and waited there with her until I could arrive. She even waited there with me until my dog was released. Madde truly cares about the wellbeing of the animals in her care! She is willing to go above and beyond to make sure they have the best care. We are so very blessed to have Madde as part of our team!!”
“Carrie was great with my cats and made sure they had everything they needed while I was away. Highly recommend her. She was on time, spent time visiting and giving them affection and it was reassuring to know they had some companionship while I was gone.”
“Cathy did a great job taking care of my 15 year old cat Tigger. He takes medication and she had no problems. Everything was in order and Tigger was very happy to see me when I came home. Tigger is shy,but warmed up to Cathy right away. She is very kind and compassionate. I have already booked her again. Thank you Cathy!”
About: I’ve always had dogs my whole life and am able to build a special connection with them! I can’t wait to build connections with more dogs, cats, and other pets! I am currently a college student home for the summer with lots of free time to care for pets!! I am only working a remote internship so my schedule is very flexible! Pets are just as important as people and are family! I make sure to treat my pets and others with care and respect, while also making sure they’re having fun and behaving well! Being the owner of a high energy dog myself, I am well aware of safety considerations as well!
“Marissa, helped me in a pinch with a last-minute request for drop-in visits with my cat when I left town. She also agreed to an extra day when I decided to extend my trip. She communicated well with me before and during. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Elaina was wonderful! Great communicator and followed my instructions perfectly. I love that she went the extra mile by bringing in my packages from the porch. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Karlina did an outstanding job watching our two dogs when i went out of town. She was prompt every visit and kept me updated on how they were doing. Our dogs loved her. I definitely recommend Karlina to care for your pets and will be using her in the future.”
“Emily was wonderful. Stella is very shy, but she didn’t hide when Emily came. We were very pleased with the care Emily gave Stella. We will definitely have Emily come the next time we’re gone.”
“Jackie took great care of our dogs. This was the first time not leaving them with family and they adjusted quickly to her. Highly recommend and we’ll be using her services in the future!”
“Ellen was great with our little guy! She communicated well while she was with him, and even helped out with a delivery that happened while we were out of town. Would definitely book her again!”
“Brittany was amazing with Emme and Eleanor! It was our first time using a sitter, and she made us feel completely at ease. Great communication, updates, and the dogs were happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“First time using Rover and Rita was the perfect person to stop in and check in on my two cats! She went above and beyond in making sure the cats litter was cleaned, they had plenty of food, play time, and even sweeping up spilled cat food/fur! Rita made sure to send lots of pictures, giving me a peace of mind while away! Definitely plan to keep using Rita as a pet sitter!”
About: I grew up with cats and became a dog owner 20 years ago. I have trained 2 puppies. I have a lot of time on my hands to care for your pets. I am a teacher and I am gone weekdays 6:15-3:30. I do have a daughter that comes home daily from 10:45-11:30 to let the dogs out. I have one Boston Terrier and he loves to play. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of room to run around. My dog can be crated if needed.
About: Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for over six years. I love being active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I also have three cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like part of the family. I work full-time at a school, which means I finish in the afternoon and have plenty of time in the evenings to care for your pets. I'm usually available for evening walks, drop-in visits, and weekend sitting. My schedule is consistent, making it easy for me to build a reliable routine with your pet! I provide care in your home to help keep your pets comfortable in their own environment. I follow all routines closely and make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you're away. I have experience administering medications and following special feeding instructions, including morning and evening meds.
About: I have been a pet owner since I was a child, and I have always loved having pets. I have owned a variety of animals, giving me ample experience. I have gone through puppy stages up until late stages of a dogs life. I work a part time job. But I will be home the majority of most days, and will put the animals needs first! I I am able to take the dog on walks many times a day with time to play with them and love them. I have never met a dog who hasn't loved me or one I haven't adored. This time working with dogs will be a great experience for me, and a lot of fun. I look forward to meeting your furry member of the family! I am currently a part time server. Which means I work short hours a few days a week. So I have lots of time to spend with pets! I have one dog at home and a park around the corner. We will go on lots of walks and have ample play time. I will stay on a feeding and potty schedule. And overall give the puppers lots of attention!!!

Emily always does an amazing job, I have no worries knowing she is caring for my cats while I’m away! She goes above and beyond just the cats, also helping care for my house/plants as well. You can tell she actually enjoys spending time with them and helping out!
I could not have asked for a better dog and cat sitter! From start to finish, they were attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring with both of my animals. My pup was walked every single time, and it was clear those walks weren’t rushed—they really took the time to make sure our pup was happy and well cared for. The updates were absolutely amazing—thoughtful, detailed, and reassuring, with plenty of insight into how both animals were doing. It made being away so much easier knowing they were in such good hands. You can tell this Maddie truly loves animals and treats them like their own. I came home to happy, relaxed pets, which says everything. Highly recommend and will absolutely be booking again! 🐶🐱💙
Lydia is a wonderful pet care provider!! This is our second booking with her to care for our two cats, Oliver and Nadia. Recently, Oliver has struggled with IBD and Lydia provided extra care to assure us that Oliver was still on the road to recovery. We highly recommend Lydia for your pet care needs!
I never worry about my cat Tigger when Katelyn takes care of him. She is always so dependable! He is 15 years old and takes medication twice a day for his thyroid. He just loves her! Thank you Katelyn! I don’t know what we would do without you! ❤️. Virginia and Tigger
Kayla was amazing taking care of my pets in my home! They were respectful of my space, kept everything maintained as instructed, and made sure Teddy and Tina were happy and comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated the updates and photos — it made me feel at ease knowing everything was going well. I came home to a relaxed pets. I’ll definitely rebook and recommend them to others!
