“Niya was great! I needed someone to feed my frog and gecko, and to check on my snakes' water, and she did so wonderfully. My frog is notoriously difficult to feed, and other than Niya, no one else has been able to feed him. Definitely recommend, especially if you have reptiles or amphibians!”


“Mark is outstanding. As the owner of four golden doodles under the age of three, I was impressed by his punctuality, professionalism, and thorough questioning during our initial meeting. Mark's trustworthiness and genuine affection for animals, rather than mere financial interest, are evident. He quickly gained the trust of my puppies. I will be relying on his services for all future pet-sitting and boarding needs.”


“Katelynn was lovely and took great care of my three feline babies. She made sure that the girls were well fed and followed my instructions closely. Katelynn also sent pics during the stay so I knew that the babies were doing well. I will definitely be using her services in the near future.”


About: I treat every dog like family—not just a job. I learn their quirks, their favorite toys, and what makes their tail wag. I build trust with both dogs and their humans, creating a calm, loving environment that feels like home. I will ALWAYS send updated pictures a videos! Even with a full-time job, pet care is a priority I plan around, not squeeze in. I only accept clients I can fully commit to—meaning your pet gets the time, energy, and attention they deserve. I offer early morning, evening, and weekend care, and I’m highly organized to keep everything running smoothly. Pet care isn’t a side hustle for me—it’s a passion I build into my daily life. When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and structure. I stick closely to their home routines—feeding, walks, medications, and bedtime habits—so they feel secure and comfortable. I make sure they get mental stimulation, physical activity, and lots of love throughout the day. In-home care means your pet stays in their familiar space, which helps reduce stress. I keep everything consistent with your instructions—from feeding and potty breaks to walks, play, and downtime. I respect your home like it’s my own and always send updates, photos, and quick check-ins to keep you at ease while you’re away.

About: I'm not in school and I have a part time job so I'm pretty available anytime to check on your doggie's. I work nights so if you pet stays with me my mom also does rover and she would be able to help out if needed! i don’t work that long only like 5 hours a couple nights a week. I'm very responsible and reliable for dog sitting. Also I have good experience with dogs, I have been around dogs for my whole life. I could do anything you want me to do for you dogs. I would treat them just like they were my own. I could even stay a little and play with them on my visits to make sure they are happy and have everything that they need while their loved ones are away from home for a little. I could always take them on walks too around your neighborhood. I love being around animals so I'm sure they will be happy to have someone there. Also I will always send you pics of your babies!!! ❤️ I would also love to have your pet at my house if needed. My pets always need someone to play with. I have lots of toys for cats or dogs, a fenced in yard. I also love taking dogs with me on rides in the car! I hope this helps you out a little to get to know me! Look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. All different breeds and all different sizes. I’ve always known the importance of keeping a good eye on them and knowing their regular attitude. I know how serious something can be even when the dogs attitude just switched a little bit. I know the importance of showing your love and care for animals as it can really help comfort them or just make them happy. I currently work part time so I do have a lot of freetime to help out and look after/ care for peoples animals who need it. I’m available anyday especially weekends to watch/walk ur pets!! In my home my dog has an open field to run in a water bowl outside inside and in my room. He also gets kenneled sometimes depending on how long im leaving for and such but at night he sleeps in bed with me or on the floor if he gets too hot.

“Kailyn is the best! She took such great care of both of our dogs, gave excellent updates with photos, and even filled the horse’s water when we asked her to! She is so sweet and made sure to contact us with any questions or concerns. She even hand fed one of our dogs, because she was concerned he wasn’t eating enough! Don’t think twice, book the sweetheart, to take care of your babies.”

I am currently working at a doggy daycare that teaches us about all kinds of dogs and how they may respond to certain situations. I work with dogs from the size of little teacup Yorkies to Mastiff’s . I also love to build a relationship with a pup so they don’t always feel alone when their owner may be gone. We also have the responsibility of measuring the feedings. Also don’t ever hesitate to ask me to maybe grab that mail for ya or to check on your flowers!! Overall I really love working with the pups.

As well as having toys around to entertain the pup as well as possibly some treats if we are going to be working on a few simple skills.
