“Edith was FANTASTIC! She did a great job looking after our girls while we were away and kept them safe and happy.

About: Frequent Walks around beautiful parks. Cared for animals since I was 13 and ever since then; Been trying to get more into the care world. I did caregiving for my grandmother and also took care of her 2 dogs at 14-17 before taking up dog sitting for others. Pet Care fits perfectly as I’m a retired Veteran from the Navy so it helps me get outside. I’m able to complete everyday errands while also doing something I love. I always make sure with any animal I take care of that they are fed and given plenty of water before going outside or having fun. I understand animal behaviors and know how and when to calm one down.


11. Jose M.

“Was honestly, by far, the best sitter we’ve had on Rover! Our dog pebble absolutely loved him. He was super communicative while we were out of town. Sent photos daily and kept us updated If he had questions. Would 10 out of 10 recommend Jose to any of my friends and family. Thanks again!”

13. Kristine L.

“Kristine was so respectful of our home and kept it as clean as I left it for her when we had her house sit and keep my dog company. She gave me photo updates as frequently as I had asked. Everything went smoothly and perfectly. I will happily book her again the next time we need a pet sitter.”

About: I was a volunteer at an animal shelter for about 4 years at the North Central Animal Shelter. I took care of bunnies, cats, kittens, and dogs. And I've fostered kittens and cats. I am an animal lover and have owned a variety of animals throughout my life such as dogs (pitbulls, chihuahuas, dashunds, terriers), cats, bunnies, turtles, fish, guinea pigs). I also am a professional dog walker and also work for wag. I would be honored to get more experience working with animals. Animals are naturally drawn to me because I have patience with pets. In 2020 I helped take care of new born puppies up until they were 5 months old. I like meeting new pets and owners. Personally I strictly follow pet owner's Instructions because they know their own dog better than I do and I would want the same if I gave someone the same responsibilities I am given. I take dogs on walks to get their energy out and to provide enrichment. I love animals and have been working in this field for so long but it never gets old. I love my repeat clients because my bond with their dogs is irreplaceable. I am home almost 24/7 and I love all animals including reptiles (I've pet sat reptiles before when I was not watching cats or dogs). I don't work because I'm a homemaker so my schedule is really flexible. I treat each pet different because I listen to the owners instructions and tips. I like to take them on at least 2 walks a day and sometimes I like to take dogs to the dog park if owner gives me the permission to do so.

About: I am a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter committed to giving your furry family member the care and attention they deserve! Whether you’re heading out of town or just need someone to check in during the day, I provide reliable and loving care that keeps tails wagging and owners worry-free. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine because I structure my day around the needs of the pets I care for. I start my mornings with check-ins or walks, use midday for drop-in visits or playtime, and end the day with evening care and cuddles. Since I stay organized and keep a flexible schedule, I’m able to give each pet the time and attention they need—without ever feeling rushed. It’s a fulfilling part of my day that brings joy and purpose. When caring for pets in my clients' home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of play and affection, and I clean up after them—whether that’s litter boxes, food areas, or outdoor walks. I also keep the home tidy, bring in mail, water plants if requested, and send regular updates with photos so clients feel connected and at ease while they’re away. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own.


18. Lizbeth G.
“Lizbeth is a great dog sitter/walker. I had her dog sit for my dog fluffy and my cats Smokey, Panda, and Cheese when I left to Oklahoma for job training for 3 weeks. Gives updates when needed and sends photos to give me security my pets are okay. I trust her with my pets life.”


19. Dorcas P.
