“My cat is a sensitive little guy and he seems to have loved them! They took great care of him and were just amazing sitters. I got daily updates and was happy to have had them look after my pet.”


“Ayla-Lynette did an amazing job with my two kitties, one of whom required daily injections and was not easy! Was so grateful that they were in her care, she was wonderful at keeping me updated and sending photos in the lake. I highly recommend her to anyone reading this, she will take wonderful care of your animals. Thank you again Ayla-Lynette!”


“Tammy came by to feed the cats and change their litter boxes while we were away. She was great with the cats, and very respectful of our home while we were away. She did a great job! We would not hesitate to hire her again.”


About: I have been taking care of pets my entire lifetime spent in the military, travelling the world with my pet friends. Dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, one spider, we have had them all. I am retired so I am home all day long to play with and walk with your pets and to care for their every need. Depending on each animal, they are free to have the run of the house. Outside I will keep them leashed unless I am very certain they will not run into the woods and get lost. At your house, I will follow your recommendations for your pets.

“Addilyn is such a treasure. Her communication is great, and she’s highly dependable. Her deep understanding and love of dogs is very self evident in her attentive nature and thoughtful comments about my pup. I love that she brings Miss Nina over during drop-in’s so Asher gets a buddy to play with for a little while each day. She’s been doing drop-in’s with us for about 2 weeks now and is great at meeting Asher where he’s at in his puppy training stage. I sincerely cannot recommend her enough!”


“5 Star service!!! Whitney is absolutely the best!!!! Never have to worry about my fur babies when I’m out of town! She always keeps me updated with photos and check ins which is very comforting ☺️”


About: I've been around pets my whole life they are the best thing ever created. I've had a 3 dogs and about probably 13 cats in total growing up. Animals are my passion. I've always taken care of my fur babies before myself. When it comes to my fur babies - they have been a part of my life for nearly a decade. Whether its my own, families, or friends - I'm always striving to offer my attention and care to making sure our four legged friends are not only taken care of but shown love. I'm blessed that I routinely get to balance my week by reducing the burden on pet parents seeing more of my furry friends! I live in a house with a fenced in back yard and a cat that is a sweetheart. I treat other people's pet like my own.

About: I have 10+ years of experience in animal care; dogs, cats, farm animals, and to little critters. My experience includes feeding/watering, long/short walks, bathing, litter/puppy pad changing, and some medication. I approach each pet differently as they are all uniquely different. I believe they are your family and should be treated with love and compassion. I’m currently working full time but on the weekends I have all the availability. During the week I’m available after 5:00 pm, Friday’s 1:00 pm. If my schedule changes I will always keep you updated. As someone coming in your home that your pet(s) is not familiar with it’s very important to make sure they are comfortable. To make them feel comfortable I will follow the schedule that is provided and give them all the love and support they need.


About: Hello pet parents. My name is Kim and I live in Chandler, AZ. I used to work for the company "Fetch" but when the owner decided to retire, I decided that I loved my job too much to give it up. I just love animals too much to not keep working as a pet sitter. I was born and raised with all types of animals - dogs, cats, fish, snakes, hamsters and lizards, so I really do not have a fear of any type of animal. I currently have two English bulldogs and three cats which is the unfortunate reason I can't watch any pets in home, other than caged pets. Go bully breeds. I have watched fish, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats and rabbits. The biggest dog I have watched so far has been a doberman pinscher and the smallest has been a miniature pinscher. I have watched cats, one of which required medication administration. I was able to create a routine for this cat that he was comfortable and willing took the medication. Really, when it comes down to it, I love all animals and I love my job. I often say that if I won the lottery, I would still do my job, but for free. I am hoping to care for that I do not have in my home. Variety is the spice of life. Thank you for taking the time to read over my profile today. I hope to hear from you soon.

About: I have had animals around me my whole life. I had my first puppy when I was a teenager and I trained her myself. Once I moved out on my own my now ex partner and I had three dogs. One of those dogs was pregnant so while he was in training I took care of her and helped her give birth to 10 puppies! Afterwards I took care of her and the 10 puppies until they were ready to go to their furrever homes. Now that my partner and I have split I have a cat (whom I love with all my heart). I don’t have any medication administering or senior care experience but I am good at following instructions! I can do pretty much anything and I can handle any size animal! I can handle aggressive animals as long as I have a heads up so I know what to expect! I do not discriminate when it comes to loving them all❤️ I currently work full time M-F, 8-5, in Nashville but I can check on your animal(s) before and/or after work during the week or anytime during the weekends! I have almost every weekend off (with the exception of military training once a month)! I can clean up after them, take them out on a walk, play with them, bathe them, brush them, give them medicine, or pretty much any kind of pet care.

About: What truly sets me apart is not just my love for dogs, but the hands-on experience I have caring for a wide range of breeds and personalities. I currently have three dogs of my own a sweet 8-year-old Chihuahua-Yorkie mix who is our spoiled little baby, a very energetic Shih Tzu who keeps me on my toes, and a gentle giant of a German Shepherd who’s just a big cuddly lovebug. Because of them, I have real-life experience managing everything from small, senior pups to large, high-energy breeds. I’m especially patient with hyper dogs I know how to keep them active, happy, and well-behaved. Whether it’s caring for older dogs who need extra love or keeping up with pups who never seem to run out of energy, I genuinely enjoy every moment of it. I treat every dog like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. You can trust that your furry friend will be in caring and capable hands! I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which means I get to choose the shifts that work best for me. This allows me to easily plan around pet sitting needs. As long as I’m given a little notice, I can adjust my work hours to fit your schedule whether that’s for regular check-ins, overnight care, or last-minute plans. You can feel confident that your pet will get the attention and care they deserve without any conflicts. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it by using leashes and taking pets on regular walks around my neighborhood or to nearby parks. I enjoy being active and love spending time outdoors with the dogs, giving them plenty of exercise and enrichment. My own dogs are very friendly and would love the extra company, which helps create a warm and welcoming environment for any visiting pets. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for whether they’re staying in my home or I'm visiting them in theirs.

About: Attention to your animals needs, all animals are the most precious especially seniors. I’m comfortable with giving medication, highly communicative and flexible. I know basic grooming skills, most comfortable with any breed. I know how to deal with animals with separation anxiety or anxiety issues. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom & wife. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies while you are away. I’m available anytime, just have to work around my husbands schedule! But that shouldn’t be an issue. I also have a background working in animal care, I use to work as a kennel technician and also worked under a veterinarian. Before we even book a sitting I love to meet with my clients and fur friends to see if we’re a perfect match. I always like to know what the dog/cat is like so I can build trust more easily

About: My name is Emily and I am 25 years old! I work full time from home so am able to give animals all the attention! I've had dogs my entire life. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I've lived with 100+ Pound dogs my entire life. I am willing to provide you with pictures of your dog while I am with them on walks or during overnights in your home through the Rover App. I'll treat your dog like they are part of my family. So if you're looking for someone to be patient and kind to your dog please contact me. I look forward to meeting your furry friend. I work full time but can work anywhere with an internet connection! If it would be alright I could use your internet and work from your home while watching your pups that way they have free roam of their home during the day and can be let out as much as possible. Before letting the dogs outside I will double check to make sure your fence is closed and there are no visible holes where they could escape. I also stand outside with them and watch them while they do their business.

“Absolutely loved having you take care of Tukoma while we were gone. You truly take amazing pics of him as well which we all enjoyed. I’m so glad you were available and accommodating during the times requested. I will definitely be sure to request you again! Thank you!”


About: I can help with anything you may need! I worked at a vet clinic for a little over a year. I love animals, I am working to become a Vet Technician in the future. I have full time availability so I can help anytime you need! I have school finished currently, and do not have a job at this moment. I can follow directions completely and keep your fur babies happy! I can play with them, walk them, anything you may need or want. Or anything they may need or want!

“Kayla watched our two Pups on Easter weekend. She is so nice and did a wonderful job! One of our pups is 15 yrs old and requires special and sometimes constant attention. Kayla did great. I recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pets!”


About: I have taken care of my own indoor and outdoor furbabies as well as others and will take care of yours with as much care wile your away. I also have experience with older dogs and dogs who are a bit more picky when eating. I currently don't have a summer or winter job so I will be dog/cat sitting over the summer and winter. But I am also a full time college student. When Im dog sitting I usually hang out and play with the dog or cat wile Im there. I will also feed them how Im told and make sure they go to the bathroom when they need to.

“I'm going to be honest. Chloe knows more about pets than I ever thought I could know about pets. She's very diligent in her ability to care for animals and see to their needs when it may not be so apparent on the surface. She goes beyond the call of duty and caring for said animals and I have always admired learning from her and seeing how she takes care of her pets. I will trust her to always look after my animals with the utmost scrutiny.”
