“Stefanie is wonderful. She's a smart, reliable, respectful, and easygoing person. She is trustworthy, gentle and loving with our slightly skittish cats, and made real friends with them. Stefanie was so accommodating, sent us lots of updates and photos and truly set our minds at ease. We will ask her to kitty sit again without hesitation! If you want to relax on your getaway, hire her!!! She's a true gem!!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, growing up with both dogs and cats, which gave me a deep love and understanding of their needs. For the past two years, I’ve been pet sitting for clients, providing personalized care based on their preferences. I have experience with a variety of animals, including birds, kittens, puppies, dogs, and cats, and I’m comfortable administering medications when needed. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or ensuring pets stay on their routine, I’m passionate about giving them the best care possible! As a full-time student with classes spread throughout the week and a part-time job, I balance my schedule to ensure I can provide attentive and reliable pet care. My flexible routine allows me to accommodate pet-sitting needs, whether it’s daily check-ins, walks, or overnight stays. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make sure to prioritize their well-being while managing my academic and work responsibilities. I exclusively provide pet care services in my clients’ homes to ensure the best experience for their pets and mine. By caring for pets in their own home, I help maintain their routine and comfort, making the transition easier for them while their owners are away.

“Jess was absolutely amazing. She is kind, respectful and always on time for her visits, can't recommend her enough. Thank you Jess”


“Rhonda is a true gem...upon meeting her we knew she was "the one".Great personality and her love of animals shows thru...She took very good care of Jackson while we were away for 2 weeks . I would recommend her to anyone and I'll use her again in the future...”


About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals since I was very little. I am a equine major and own 3 dogs and a cat. I am working evenings part time on both weekends and weekdays around my softball schedule. I am looking forward to seeing and meeting all different animals. I am very responsible and trustworthy and care for your pets just as if they were my own. I would never want to put you in a place to have to worry.

“Very communicative and personable- will book again!”


About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and took the responsibility of taking care of and training our family dogs. They all turned out great with my first dog becoming a therapy dog helping children. Can’t imagine a world without a dog by your side! I currently work in a school system so during holidays, school breaks, and the summer I’m the most free but can always help once I get out of school as well. Great backyard with a pup to play with. Lots of shade and fencing. Many toys and such to play with as well. Great spot for dogs to relax.

“Wonderful experience - we had to rush out of town twice because of an elderly parent’s health. Samantha was there for us both times even though it was short notice. She saw to our cats needs and even helped out with an issue with unplugging a machine that was left running. Wonderful lady!!!”


About: Growing up, I had a Lab and then a Boxer and two cats. I've also helped my aunt at the doggie daycare she runs out of her home where she often has more than 10 dogs at a time. Everything from a Great Pyrenees to German Shepherds to Doodles to Yorkies. And it's always so much fun! The care I'll give your pets will really depend on them and their needs. There's a very large unfenced grass area behind my apartment building that would be perfect for walks or play. And there are multiple parks in the area too we could explore. At yours, I'd keep whatever their normal routine is. Whether that's taking walks, throwing the ball or just sitting and chilling and scratching butts. Their butts of course!

“I am very grateful to Christine for the excellent care she took of our fur family. Going away can cause anxiety for us humans, but we were able to enjoy ourselves knowing our cats were in good hands. They maintained their routines and were happy and well-adjusted when we got back, which is everything. Christine was communicative, sent pictures, and took great care of our home as well. We couldn't have asked for anything more in a sitter. Thank you, Christine!”


“This was my first time using Rover and Clint made me feel comfortable about it. Asked good questions about my dog beforehand and sent good updates and pictures while with Lucy. She looked like a happy girl!”


“Melissa is super caring!! She watched my very active dog Susie while also taking care of my cats. They had a great vacation! She is extremely thorough and knowledgeable! Great animal lover too.”

About: Hello there! My name is Melissa and I am an animal lover who has over 10 years of experience in taking care of dogs, cats, and other animals (both as my own pets, those of family and friends, and professionally). I have previously worked in an animal kennel and volunteered at a stable. Because of this, I am very familiar with pet care routines and over-night care, including medication routines and allergies. I have worked with all types of dog breeds, varying sizes, and age ranges. Currently, I am working from home which allows me to have flexibility when walking dogs and I am able to provide around the clock care for your pet. I have the needed skill set to provide the best pet care. I work from home which gives me a lot of flexibility. Typically, I am up early (5:30/6am) and begin work at 8:30 and end my work day at 6:30pm. I prefer to drop in visits and/or staying at clients homes, since I have two cats of my own which can stress pets that are not used to other/new animals.

About: Ive been able to care for freinds dogs in the past and boy have I loved it ! I always pour my love and time to taking care of any furbaby. As of now I'm working part-time and that allows my schedule to be quite flexible when it come to providing care for your fur baby. I will always keep in mind any instruction given at my clients home to ensure the safety and that the proper care is given to your furbaby.

“I’ve had the pleasure of trusting Alex with my dogs multiple times, and I can confidently say he is one of the most skilled, compassionate, and reliable people I’ve met when it comes to working with dogs—of any breed. Whether it’s a high-energy shepherd, a stubborn bulldog, or a timid rescue, Alex knows exactly how to approach each dog with the right balance of patience and kindness. His calm demeanor put both dogs and owners at ease. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely passionate about dogs of all shapes and sizes, Alex is the one. I highly recommend!”

Tina R.
“Tina watches my cat and dog. She has done drop in visits as well as pet sitting for me. When Tina does a drop in visit, she is prompt and spends time with the pets. As a pet sitter, she is reliable and trustworthy. In both scenarios, her first inclination is to the well being of my pets and making them feel as safe and loved as they are with me. Both pets enjoy her company. I would highly recommend Tina to take care of your pets.”
