“Abby was a fantastic sitter for our elderly cat, Bob, who has some pretty high snuggle needs. She went out of her way to introduce herself in person before our trip, asking thoughtful questions to make sure she understood Bob's routine and personality. While we were away, she was easy to reach and quick to respond to any questions, giving us regular updates that made us feel so at ease. Bob seemed to warm up to Abby quickly, and it was clear he was well cared for while we were gone. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us true peace of mind. We’d absolutely recommend Abby to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and reliable pet sitter!”

“Nancy stayed at our house for two nights and was great with our two cats! One needs liquid medicine administered twice a day and she handled it with no problem. Nancy was very communicative, and sent pics & videos for us to see how well our kitties were doing while we were away. We will feel perfectly comfortable using Nancy again!”

“Adrianne watched my high maintenance Kit for a long weekend and he absolutely loved her! We received updates and photos often. I can tell he was very loved when we were gone and it was so nice not worrying about him all weekend! Will have Adrianna stay with Kit again!!”

“Paul is the person you want to care for your home and your pets while you are away! His communication was excellent, he sent frequent photos of our cat, and he took great care of everything household, even completing an unexpected household maintenance task. We returned to a pristinely clean home with everything organized so nicely for our home. I had confidence he would care lovingly for our cat from when they first met. Paul gave the immediate impression that he loves animals and has an innate sense for their needs. Thank you, Paul, for giving us a worry-free time away from home.”


“Megan did a wonderful job of caring for our 2 dogs, cat, and home for 8 days. Our youngest dog is under a year and can be a handful at times and our other dog requires daily eye drops, but Megan managed their care without issue. Megan also took very good care of our home, even washed all the towels and linens used during her stay! She cared for our pets and home as of they were her own and we will use her services again.”

“Allison recently stayed with Maisie again for 4 days. I say “again” because we are repeat customers of Allison’s. she is such a great dog/housesitter. I know I can travel without worrying about Maisie’s care and without the hassle of taking Maisie someplace else. And the condo is spotless when I return. Thank you Allison!”

“Nothing but AMAZING things to say about Mackenzie and Anthony who took the time to watch our sweet boy Tiger! We were new to the Rover app and had some anxiety, but Anthony provided updates with photos and videos throughout the entire day! We are so so thankful! Anthony went above and beyond!”


“This is the 3rd time we book Angie and she has been so great every single time. We have 3 pups and one of them was just diagnosed with diabetes and Angie did so good giving Zoey her insulin shot. We will definitely book with her for future travel. 😃”

“Kennedy did an amazing job! She sent us numerous photos of our dogs throughout the house sitting process and gave detailed noted on how the dogs were doing. I really appreciated her communication and consistency”

“Allison was absolutely amazing for my dogs, Willie and Clementine! She sent pictures, texts, and let me know how they were doing every day. I had a lot of anxiety leaving them with a sitter, but she went above and beyond for them! I am excited for her to come back and watch them again soon!”

About: I have had animals in my home since I was a child. I got my own puppy about 10 years ago and trained him to be a guard dog during my time as a missionary in west Africa. I love animals and treat them like family. I currently work remotely from home, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule when I’m not traveling. I am very attentive to the animals in my care! I currently don’t live in a home that allows pets, but I have had a lot of experience taking care of people’s pets and homes while they have been away.

About: Back in middle school and high school I up I used to watch and walk family friends dogs. I have experience in giving medication to animals. I’m moving back in with my parents for a few months. I don’t have a part time job or anything so I have a lot of free time on my hands. I provide care for dogs in the client’s home, including feeding, fresh water, exercise, companionship, and following any specific care instructions. I also offer dog walking to help keep pets active, happy, and on their regular routine.
About: I have volunteered at several animal rescues, walking dogs, helping with adoption events, etc. I also have completed Healing Touch for Animals and animal acupressure courses. I am currently working part-time, but I am available to take care of your pets on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Soon I will be available 7 days a week. I provide love and attention, regular walks, playtime, fresh water, food, treats, administering medications, and whatever your pets need to ensure their health, safety and happiness!
“Beth did a great job taking care of our pets while we were out of town for an overnight getaway. We would highly recommend her and are hopeful that she would want to come back again someday.”
“Yasmin took excellent care of my dog during a week-long trip and I would definitely book with her again! Ranger gets anxious sometimes, especially when his routine is disrupted, but he seemed happy and content in all of the picture/video updates (and I appreciated her sending those regularly). Thank you for keeping my best friend happy and healthy while we were gone, Yasmin!”

About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I understand how important consistency and patience are while owners are away. I can help with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication reminders, litter box care, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I’m especially focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their home environment, while also keeping owners updated with photos and communication throughout the stay. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to plan my days around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets get consistent attention and care. I’m also reliable with communication and updates, so owners can feel comfortable knowing their pets are being well cared for while they’re away. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any household rules or instructions. I make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention and supervision. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, keep communication open with regular updates and photos, and prioritize making pets feel secure and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I've been dropping in to aid family and friends with their dogs, cats, and other pets since I was in high school, and have been online doing general pet services for the last 3 or so years now. I myself have 3 cats and a snake. I have experience with giving cats eye medication, oral pills, medication mixed with treats/food, and creams. For dogs I've given creams and medication mixed with food/treats. I'm currently doing freelance work so my schedule is pretty flexible. Other than my own pet's schedule, I'm happy to find time for your pet's needs. I always make sure to check in with my clients to ensure they feel comfortable with me in their house. Things like where they're comfortable with me going and doing, where the pet(s) are allow to be, any routines that need to be done, and anything else they'd like to precaution or worry about.
