“Sarah did a fabulous job taking care of our two cats. She was timely in her visits and gave updates on how they were doing. The cats were lucky to have such a wonderful caregiver.”
“Luy took great care of our dog while we were out of town. She was able to accommodate our schedule changes. She also kept us updated with pictures and text messages. Highly recommend her for your pets need's.”
“We have never had anyone watch our dogs besides family before Grace. The pups loved going on a walk with her and then again when she came to let them out and spend some time with them. She follows all the instructions we leave and went above and beyond to make sure everything was locked up and waited outside until we were able to arm our systems. We are happy to have someone we can trust when we go out of town now!”
About: I've spent over a decade caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes and personalities and I absolutely love it! Whether it is a high-energy pup who is ready to chase squirrels through imaginary forests, a wise senior pet who perfers sun soaked naps, or a tender-hearted rescue dog who needs a safe, calm environment, I tailor my care to honor each pet's unique rhythm and soul. My priority is to always provide safe, loving and personalized care so your pet feels comfortable, joyful and truly at home. I am reliable, communicative and detail oriented so that you can relax knowing your pet is in capable, caring hands. The services I provide range from walks through leafy paths, nourishing meals, enchanting playtime, cleanup and administering daily medications. I treat each and every pet like family and I would be honored to welcome yours into my little circle of tail-wagging magic. My schedule is open and flexible, typically from 7am to 8pm every day of the week. I am happy to tailor my availability to suit your needs, whether it is for an sunrise stroll, or a quiet evening check in, I'll be there with a calm reliability and a gentle presence that puts both you and your pet at ease. I take my time to get to know each and every animal I provide care for, whether it is walking, drop in vists or housesitting so they feel safe, understood and truly at ease. I strive to create a calm, secure environment that feels a little magical where your pet can relax, play and be themselves. Think of me as a gentle guardian, frolicking through the day with your furry companion making sure their needs are met with kindness and care.
About: Experience with newborn pups to senior dogs. I follow special instructions very well to cater to you and your dog. Medication is no problem with me. I love to play with dogs, cuddle and pet them, give belly rubs, take them for walks and exploring outside. I work part-time at home and am very flexible. I typically dog sit any day of the week, and I overnight watch a friend’s dog quite often as well. I used to care for my brother’s bunny, Peanut and now I’ve been watching a friend’s dog consistently for the past two years. I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and currently have 2 dogs, Lola and Rosie, a cat, Frisco, and my horse, Captain.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my seven years of hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals—not just dogs and cats, but also birds, chickens, and horses. I bring a calm, confident presence that helps animals feel at ease, even those with special needs or unique temperaments. I understand that every pet is different and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. My background in animal care goes beyond the basics, and I treat each pet like my own—with patience, respect, and genuine love. Whether it’s a cuddle session, a long walk, or specialized care, I’m here to provide reliable, attentive service you can count on. I currently work full-time, but I have time Saturdays and Sundays for petsitting. I usually work shorter hours Tuesday and Wednesday, so i’m available as well Tuesday through Thursday. I always follow your instructions whether that be taking your dog out on a long lead, or constant watching in your fenced in yard. I make sure they get fed on time, potty breaks if they need them a certain time apart, ie every hour, etc.
“This was our first time using Rover and selected Don based on prior reviews. Don has gone above and beyond, exceeding our expectation with his check-in's on our Maltipoo. Our little guy can be sheepish and nervous with strangers, but Don worked to earn trust with our pup and made him feel safe. We would highly recommend Don!”
“I used Lizzie for my cat, Kiki, while out of town for the week. Lizzie provided exceptional care during her drop-ins & the pics she sent made my day! My cat loved her. I highly recommend her”
“I have a cat that requires subcutaneous fluids and I needed someone to drop in while I was on vacation to give those to her and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Meg! She did such a great job, communicated well, I trusted her completely, and her care meant that I could relax and enjoy my vacation instead of worrying about my cat. If I ever needed someone to look after my cat again, I’d happily rebook with Meg.”
