“Maddelynn did a great job taking care of our dog while we were away! She was great to work with and very responsive. We appreciated the pictures she sent assuring us everything was going well. We would work with her again.”

“Eliza was wonderful to work with and a total natural with animals. We were so impressed by her flexibility; when we realized we’d booked the wrong return date, she didn't hesitate to stay an extra night to ensure our dogs were safe and cared for. Highly recommended!”

“Jada did a wonderful job watching my three pups for a week while I was out of town! The communication was on point and the photo updates of my babies were greatly appreciated. My favorite part was that she wasn’t afraid to ask questions instead of assuming things. Would definitely recommend Jada to anyone looking for a sitter that fills all the boxes!”

About: I've been around animals as long as I can remember. There were cats and dogs in the house throughout my entire childhood. My pet-sitting experience comes from family and friends. I have cared for dogs (both large and small), cats, and the occasional fish. While I connect with most animals, big dogs are my specialty. Whenever I meet a big, energetic dog, people notice how they are with me. I work part time, so I should have plenty of time to care for pets. I can stop by in no longer than 5 hour increments if needed. I have a house with a dog and a cat. The yard is fenceless, but there is plenty of space to put a dog on a lead.
About: I live on a farm back home & have over a decade of animal care of all kinds! I have many farm cats and two dogs at home, as well as two cats that live with me! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes & would love to spend time with your best friend! I would especially love to hang out with dogs as I don’t want to get my own until I can give them a fenced in yard:) My boyfriend Gabe also helps out with the pet care! I am pretty free all summer & I can give as much or as little attention as your pet requires! I’m available to do random walks throughout the day or stay full time at your residence to give 24/7 care to your pet. I would like to follow your routine as much as possible, so honestly whatever you do with your pet I will copy! It’s important to keep their routines from changing frequently!
About: Over the past several years I have helped care for family and friend’s pets. I currently have 4 chaotic cats. I’ve always loved looking after our 4 legged friends! I am currently doing factory work so my schedule is a bit more limited. I am fully available three days of the week, and the other four I am available 3:30-10pm. I can walk dogs as needed, as well as provide the attention and play that they need. I am also able to ensure all the owners rules or guidelines are kept to standard.
“Rover made this transaction incredibly smooth. Chrissy is exactly the kind of person you want watching your dogs. She texted us photos twice a day and let us know what was going on. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Thank you. *****”

About: I have from personal experience- to professional experience in different cultures, understanding and taking care both cats and dogs throughout the years.

I have experience with different personalities and understand how to make shy pets comfortable and playful pets happy and engaged. My goal is always to give them a fun, stress-free time until you're back. I will be off soon to study at a college. Other than that, any time works for me. My personal schedule is very much flexible. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to follow their routines and respect their personalities.

In a client's home, I follow your instructions closely and treat your space with care, just as I would want for mine.
