“James is a fantastic, prompt and effective sitter! We have an 18 year old blind & deaf cat who requires a lot of affection and attention since he’s a little lost in space these days. James gave Tippy a routine every morning & evening and he was always on time & on top of everything we asked for which gave us so much peace of mind. We haven’t been able to travel since Tips needs more care but now that we found James we can and are so grateful. Thanks so much, James; we will be in touch about future trips. Tippy misses you already!! 😹”


“Ashurina did a wonderful job watching our pups, allowing us to get out and play some golf. We have a high-energy puppy, who is shy with people and a 15 year-old dog who is slowing down a bit. Ashurina played with our kids and made sure they got their potty breaks and treats. We rebooked her last minute for an additional drop-in visit. Highly recommended.”


“Faith was amazing and very communicative! This was my first time using Rover and I was going to be gone for 12 days. She always kept me informed how my two kitties were doing and sent pics. She even stopped by for an extra visit when one of my cats was hiding for a few days and we were worried she trapped herself in somewhere. I would definitely use her again in the future 😉”


“Kevin watched my cat for a week and did a superb job! The communication was constant, and he went above and beyond to ensure my cat was safe in the house on these hot summer days. He's a sitter I will definitely call again when I need services. Thanks Kevin !”


About: I have 7 years experience in a veterinary general practice setting and over 2 years experience in emergency veterinary medicine - currently. My Fear Free practices and certification are accomplishments I am proud of. I am able to compassionately care for your pet from walking, occasional visits for attention and play, overnight, clean up after, and medication administration. Besides my 4 dogs and Sphynx kitty, I also care for birds, a rabbit, bearded dragon, gecko, fish and a tortoise… I am comfortable with your exotics. I am available most weekdays and sunday, morning to evening, and often on holidays. Day before notice is fine. I’d love to care for your pets. I’ll care for your pet in your home just as you would. Your and your pets needs will be met per your request. Keeping routines familiar prevents stress to your pet.

“Our cats are normally shy with strangers but they took to Caroline quickly. It's was obvious that they felt at ease with her. Caroline is conscientious, punctual and a delight to work with. We will definitely use her services again!”



“This was our first time leaving our puppy for an extended period of time. When we met Alyssa we felt at ease immediately. Our dog is an 11 month Golden Doodle and very active! He was attended to by both Alyssa and Bonnie, and I can tell he thoroughly enjoyed them both! I cannot recommend Alyssa highly enough. We look forward to seeing them both again at our next opportunity. Thank you Alyssa!”


About: I’m still quite new to this but I have a few munchkins of my own to know how to handle them. I’ve done some pet sitting when I was younger and found it to be a lot of fun. I want to be more active so walking your pets is perfect for us both! I’ve lived with animals my whole life so I have so much compassion for them. I have a lot of patience and love for them all. I would love for you to have trust in me to do my best for your pet. I know I have little experience but a lifetime of caring for animals; big and small. I am currently a part time server so my schedule is always changing, I mostly work nights most days. The days i’m off and available I’ll be able to be around as many hours as needed. Weekends are unsure depending on my schedule, if anything I’d be available in the mornings and late nights. I unfortunately can’t board any pets at my home. My own pets are all inside pet’s except my dogs of course, my dogs have a fenced in backyard and go on daily walks themselves. My pups are 4 years old but aren’t fully socialized to other dogs so I wouldn’t feel 100% safe to board pets at the moment. I also have cats, they are my personal favorite, all whom I’ve had for many years. What can I say i’m a animal person. I have a few exotic pets; a snake and two geckos who stay in cages!

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I currently have a brown tabby cat and a playful Maltipoo, so I truly understand the importance of finding someone you can trust with your furry family members. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own—with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I’m here to provide reliable, flexible, and loving care while you’re away. I currently do not have an hourly job. I am available 8am-4pm Thursday-Friday and I am open on weekends. I go to school Monday- Wednesday but if needed i am available on those days 6pm-10pm. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. In my home, pets have a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space where they can relax, play, and feel at ease. I do not have a fenced in back yard and i live in a mobile home so potty breaks will be on leash. Because I have my own brown tabby cat and Maltipoo, I make sure any pet staying with me is a good match personality-wise to ensure everyone gets along and feels comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routines—feeding schedules, walk times, and any special care instructions—to help them feel as comfortable as possible. In your home, I make sure to respect your space while giving your pet the same love and attention they’d get from you. I provide regular updates with photos and notes, so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, medication, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to match your pet’s needs and personality.

“Tony was prompt, communicative and took great care of Pickles. It’s clear he cared for her like she was her own, playing with her, snuggling and taking her on two walks to make sure she was taken care of after dinner.”


“Elaine was able to visit my cats at our home. Everything was coordinated and planned, the process was straight forward. Like the past appointment with Elaine she was wonderful to work with and I hope to use her services again in the future when traveling.”

Madison S.
“As both a human and dog mom, I can honestly say...there’s no one I trust more with our boys... than our daughter, Maddie. She’s been caring for animals for over a decade, and it shows in everything she does. From the tiniest details of their routine to the way she genuinely connects with each pup she meets, Maddie has a heart for this. Slater and Sullivan adore her...and we do too! When she watches them, we know they’re not just being looked after… they’re being loved. She treats every dog like they’re her own, with gentleness, patience, and a deep understanding of how much they mean to their families. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, an adventurous walk, an overnight stay, or a long weekend, Maddie brings peace of mind every time. She’s responsible, communicative, experienced...and the kind of person who instinctively knows when a dog needs a little extra comfort or fun! If you’re looking for someone to trust with your fur baby, look no further. Maddie’s the real deal...and your pups will feel it the moment they meet her! She comes from a family of extreme dog lovers, so it's in her DNA! Book her on Rover...you’ll be so glad you did! Christina (aka Maddie’s proud mom )”
