“This was our first time using Rover and Katie was AMAZING! She was extra patient with our hesitant kitten and by the second visit, they were already best buds. She was reliable, took extra cute pictures, provided updates, and made sure our kitten had clean litter, and fresh food and water every visit. We really appreciate being able to enjoy our time away knowing that Katie was taking care of her. We can’t recommend her enough!”

“Christian was fantastic with my cat, Whimper. He was knowledgable, very kind and very communicative which I appreciated! I will definitely be using him for Whimper’s care whenever I can!”

“Anna is a professional, a great communicator and clearly knows what she’s doing. She has a great attitude, good judgment, and is someone you can trust. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have a friendly 4-year-old Lab mix named Maverick. I also volunteer with local animal shelters, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. As a medical student, I’m used to staying organized, following detailed instructions, and paying close attention to routines and behavior. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog needs lots of exercise, extra patience, medication, or just a comfortable place to relax, I’m happy to tailor their care to their individual needs. I’m currently a medical student, and much of my coursework can be completed from home. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care throughout the day. While my schedule varies slightly week to week, I’m generally available for frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of companionship. I make every effort to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise, and I only board one guest dog at a time so they receive plenty of individual attention. I also have a friendly 4-year-old Lab mix who enjoys other dogs when it’s a good fit. I always take introductions slowly and make sure both dogs are comfortable before allowing interactions. I’m happy to accommodate specific feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any other instructions that help your pet feel at home.

Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets I am a college student home for the summer with a very open and flexible schedule. I am able to care for pets starting around 10 am most days! I am able to feed and bathe pets in my clients home. I am also available to walk dogs around in local neighborhoods or trails!
“Jordan is great! She is a great communicator and I can tell she really cares about animals. I love the pictures she sends me and the little synopsis she gives about how the day went. I will happily continue to use Jordan to watch over my boys!”

About: I’ve had experience caring for dogs and cats since I was young. Neighbors, friends, family, and community members have counted on me for caring and detail-oriented pet care. I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available Sunday through Wednesday, and can be available Thursday through Saturday with advance notice. I can care for your pets in your home. I will treat your home with utmost respect, as if it were my own, keeping a clean and tidy environment that your pet feels comfortable in!
About: Lived with dogs for 20 years, cats for almost 10. Worked with dogs and cats for 5 years as a sitter/walker unprofessionally. Looking to watch friendly animals looking for a companion! I work part time with short shifts in a local shop, so i’m available often and rarely out of town/completely booked. Willing to do 3+ visits daily depending on location and distance / additional fees on top. Not available to care for pets in home. Can do home visits to feed, water, walk, administer care/med routines (when informed ahead of time with proper instruction), and just chill with animals of all kinds and sizes.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve had dogs since I was in second grade all the way through adulthood, and I was very involved in their care—everything from daily walks to training. In high school, I even took my dog to the county fair for dog shows and attended weekly training classes, which gave me a strong understanding of behavior, patience, and positive reinforcement. More recently, I lived with a dog that I cared for daily, and I truly miss having that companionship—so I’d love to give that same care and attention to your pet! I currently have cats, so I’m very comfortable with both dog and cat personalities, routines, and needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away—and to give you total peace of mind. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I prioritize clear, consistent communication. You can expect regular updates, photos, and little check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing and getting attention, I’ll match their energy and treat them like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your pet! 🐾 I’m a reliable and flexible pet sitter with a schedule that allows me to offer consistent care and plenty of availability for drop-ins, walks, and visits. I typically work shifts from 11–8pm, 12–8pm, 1–9pm, and 10–2:30pm, which means I’m often available in the mornings, late evenings, and during midday gaps. My schedule also varies at times—occasionally I finish work early or don’t get booked for midday shifts—so I’m frequently able to accommodate additional drop-ins or last-minute visits. I also have weekends completely off, which gives me full availability for weekend care, extended visits, or multiple check-ins per day. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when it comes to pet care, so I always do my best to be responsive, communicative, and dependable with scheduling. If I’m available, I’ll make it work—and if my schedule opens up more, I’m happy to offer extra care when needed. Feel free to reach out with your pet’s needs and I’ll do my best to accommodate! My top priorities as a pet sitter are safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. I provide drop-ins, dog walks, and in-home pet sitting (I do not host pets in my own home), so your pet can stay in their familiar space and routine. I believe pets feel most secure when they’re in their own environment, and I do everything I can to keep that consistency intact. When I care for your pet, I treat your home with the same respect I would expect in mine. I’m careful, responsible, and mindful of both your space and your pet’s needs. I always follow instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, walking routines, or special care preferences. Safety is very important to me, especially on walks and during visits. I pay close attention to surroundings, use secure handling at all times, and make sure your pet is always comfortable and safe in my care. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your pet reliable, loving care in the place they feel most at home!
