From Day 1, Lauren has consistently went above and beyond for our kitties! She saved our vacation by jumping on our last minute request, and was able to squeeze us in for a meet and greet before we left. She is incredibly hard working, super communicative, and diligent! We got extremely thorough daily updates, full of details, and the pictures!! All the pictures and videos were the highlight! I knew our kitties were not just being very well taken care of, but also having so much fun! Dare I say, a vacation of their own! Lauren is the absolute best!!

Chloe did a great job with our ducks! They were happy and healthy when we got back. She went above and beyond when it ended up being colder than expected. I appreciate all the pictures she sent and the care that she gave them. We would book with her again!

Carley is the only pet sitter for our elderly cat, Raja. We always have full peace of mind knowing he is in her capable hands. Carley is completely dependable, organized, and detailed. She is experienced with medication administration and prompt with her Rover check-ins.

About: My family got our dog when I was 6 and have had cats my whole life. I've always been in love with taking care of animals. I've taken care of family and friends dogs and cats while they were away on vacation and have lots of experience. I also have my own pup who’s 7 months old and a 4 year old cat. My schedule is very flexible. With the right amount of notice, I can always work with you to accommodate your scheduling needs. Let me know how I can help. I will make sure you don't have any specific instructions for your pet. I will provide long walks and play time. I will provide your pet with a safe environment as if it were you there with them.

Natalie was very caring and considerate of our furry friends. Although they were shy at first, our flurries warmed up to her. She was timely every check in and communicated in detail about all the updates with them. We will definitely recommend her and work with her again!

About: I have had pets in my home my whole life, and I am an avid animal lover! Whenever I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said veterinarian because that was the only job I knew that worked with them. I have taken care of anything ranging from your typical household pets to reptiles, and even farm animals! I am currently student teaching, so daytime hours may not be the best. But if you’re looking for a night out or getting ready for a weekend trip away, I’m your gal! I respect you, your household, and your pets and will make sure to follow whatever guidelines, schedules, or routines you would like me to follow. I will make sure your pets are safe, loved, and cared for until you return!

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well-exercised. I’m comfortable handling daily walks, feeding schedules, and basic care like refilling water and cleaning up after pets. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and needs, whether that means going on longer, active walks or taking it slow with older dogs. I’m also dependable with timing and communication, so owners can trust that their pets are in good hands while they’re away. I have 5 dogs of my own and i don’t know what i would do without them. I’m currently working part time as a nursing assistant so i have plenty of time to spend time with your pups! The only days i would not be able to do are sundays and thursdays. Any other day i’m free all day! I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment both in my home and in my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel secure and happy. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized while caring for their pet. I also provide updates, photos, and communication so owners feel confident their pet is being well taken care of. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel loved and cared for at all times.

Mia was an excellent sitter for our cats while we were away. She was prompt when responding to our booking requests and was easy to talk to during the meet and greet. Her notes after the visits were detailed and gave us comfort knowing everyone was doing well. She even took the time to play with the cats and give them each some attention during her short visits. Thank you Mia!

Lisa was amazing! We left our cats for over a week which was a long time for them, they can be a little upset with us when we get home, but they were happy and curious, so I know Lisa spent some time each day with them playing and talking to them. She sent pictures everyday and was very quick to respond to any of our questions. She was absolutely wonderful and would highly recommend her! We'll definitely use her again in the future!

Krista did a great job with my two kitties! She is prompt and always took pics so I could see for myself how they were doing. One of mine is a big hider but she was content and even eventually ventured out to see Krista! The other cat (the ham) I think fell in love and misses her. I would definitely use her again!

About: Taking care of dogs and cats has been my specialty since I was a child! I have had 8 dogs of all kinds, as well as 10 cats, not including my grandmother’s. My family and neighbors would trust me to feed and water their pets while they were away. I am great at crating puppies and socializing feral/young kittens. It’s always a pleasure to brush or bathe pets depending on their size! I am working a part-time job at Petsmart so my day is already filled with furry faces! But I will still have plenty of days where I can come take care of your puppy or kitty! My schedules are usually two weeks out so I have plenty of notice of when I am free. Contact me of a day when you’d like me to care for your pet and I will let you know the earliest I am available that day! Unfortunately I am not in a position to invite pets into my home… I am figuring out my living situation and will update this section when I have a suitable place for pets to visit!
