We used Taryn for a drop-in visit for a weekend trip; we have an older dog who doesn't like boarding at our vet. She is a little particular and Taryn was very patient with her and sent us photos. We will be using her for a longer vacation later this summer. Thanks for everything, Taryn!

David helped me with a last-minute request for a drop-in visit. He's watched Sam multiple times, and that was comforting. Plus, David made the trip on a day when we were getting hit by a snowstorm. I'm grateful for his help and care with Sam.

Anyah spent three days looking after our very shy cats and she took their standoffish nature in stride. She was communicative, organized, friendly, and punctual. Most importantly, she helped us out when we really needed a reliable pet sitter, and was unbelievable accommodating of our cats’ many quirks. We will absolutely be calling her first from now on.

Samantha was the greatest. She gave my cat space while also making sure that she can leave her sent with him. She gave great ideas to help me because this is my first time having a cat sitter. She is so receptive and she gives great advice. She connected with my cat wonderfully, and I truly appreciate what she had done with feeding him and connecting with him. I will use her again. She is definitely my go to and I would highly recommend her.

About: Hello, I'm Katie! I helped my mom run a cat rescue for over 8 years (that includes waking up every 2 hours to bottle feed, giving medication, handling moody kitties, cleaning up constant messes, etc). Since then, I've been trusted to pet sit for friends, coworkers, and family members. I have more experience house sitting with cats than dogs, but I love all pets equally and would be so happy to meet them! I offer overnight stays/house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walking. I am currently pet sitting full time. I am available on weekdays and weekends however early or late as needed, and for as many drop-ins as needed. My schedule is very flexible! The care and safety of your pet is the most important thing to me. I make sure to keep human food out of reach along with plastic bags, cords, or other potentially harmful items. I always try to keep pets entertained, happy, and out of trouble. I am a very clean person and will never leave a mess behind, I can assure your home will be well looked after. I can provide photo or text updates as often as needed!

About: I am a dog mom to two senior dogs, Chloe and Tuni. Tuni is a Doxie with IVDD and Chloe is a grumpy old lady. Both are my world and the light of my life! I am a special education teacher, who works during the day, but I am available on evenings, weekends, holidays, and during school breaks. I am excited for a change of pace and look forward to working with your fur babies! I have a house with a fully enclosed yard and a finished basement. I am available for house-sitting or drop-in visits, depending on your needs.

About: I fell in love with animals when I got my first dog cubby at only 12 years old. Ever since then I knew I had a passion for animals of all kind. Now I care for my own 1 year old puppy and have since he was 7 weeks old. I never knew how important animals would become to me and to be with dogs all the time is a dream come true! I currently work at Texas Roadhouse part time 3 days a week. I am a full time student, mostly online classes. When I am not at work I am committed to taking care of your fur baby. I have a 1 year old Aussiedoodle who LOVES other dogs and would love to play with your furry friend if this is something you and your baby would be interested in. I am committed to making sure your home & pup are well kept while you are away!

About: I have been taking care of animals from a very young age. I had a variety of pets growing up including dogs, cats, a lizard, guinea pigs, and a chinese dwarf hamster. I have experience taking care of family members’ and friends’ dogs and cats while away or on vacation. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and comfortable caring for pets of all ages. I treat every pet like my own and provide consistent, loving care while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. I’m currently in between jobs, so I have extra availability! I should be available any time you need me, but I will let you know otherwise. I will treat your animals like my own, and they will be under great care! I’m an animal lover and animals love me too!

Gabrielle was the perfect fit for our pup! She showed up on time and stayed the time that was requested which sounds basic, but I personally really appreciate that. She took great care of our dog and provided a great summary of her care for him letting us know how he was on his walk, refilled his water and played with him and gave him treats. I look forward to having her take care of our dog again!

I have 4 cats that are dog friendly. They really love playing with small dogs. Finally, hope you and your pet(s) have a very bless day. I'm a full time pet sitter, I do walks during the day and house sitting or boarding afterwards. I try my best to fit your fur baby into my schedule. Meet & greets are mandatory for me. That way you can see and decide more throughly if I'm the right pet sitter for you and if your fur baby is comfortable with me.

Maddie takes very good care of our cat Pixel. He doesn't usually like people but he even comes and sits on her lap during check ins. I'm glad we found Maddie and Rover.
