“Maria consistently does a fantastic job taking care of my pets. She arrives promptly during the designated time, ensures they have their potty breaks, refreshes their water, and gives them plenty of love and attention. Her Rover cards are detailed and include lots of pictures. I know that are in good hands with her!”


About: Premium Pet & Flock Care Tailored for Every Life Stage As a trusted and experienced pet care provider, I specialize in personalized sitting services for large-breed pups, cats, and their smaller furry friends — with added expertise in puppy training, compassionate senior pet care, and even backyard flock care for chickens. Your pets are unique, and so is my approach: I take time to understand each animal’s personality, routine, and special needs to ensure they feel secure, loved, and engaged while you’re away. From teaching puppies good manners and basic obedience, to gently caring for older pets who need extra patience and attention, to providing thoughtful care for your feline family members — I deliver professional, reliable care that goes far beyond feeding and walking. And for families with backyard chickens, I bring years of hands-on experience as a seasoned chicken owner. I can provide attentive care for your flock — ensuring they’re fed, their coop is secure, and they stay safe and healthy until you’re home again. 🐾 Puppy Training: I help reinforce basic commands, house-training routines, and leash manners, giving your young pup the best start in life. 🐱 Cat Care: I provide gentle, attentive care for cats of all temperaments, making sure they receive the affection, play, and routine they need to feel safe and content. 🐾 Senior Pet Expertise: I understand the special needs of aging pets — from administering medication and assisting with mobility to creating a calm, stress-free environment for rest and comfort. 🐓 Flock Care: As an experienced chicken owner, I know how to care for backyard hens and ensure they’re well-tended and secure in your absence. 🐾 More Than a Sitter — A True Companion: My services are designed to give you peace of mind and your pets (and chickens!) a trusted friend they can rely on. You’ll return to a happy, healthy, and well-cared-for family every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home, which allows me to provide loving, attentive care around the clock. My flexible schedule means I can easily adapt to each pet’s unique needs — whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or administering medication. Because I’m home throughout the day and night, pets in my care enjoy consistent companionship, plenty of interaction, and a stable, comforting environment that feels like home. I’m able to maintain their familiar routines and give them the one-on-one attention they deserve, so they’re never lonely or stressed while you’re away. Pet care isn’t just part of my routine — it’s at the heart of my everyday life. I care for pets in my home by providing round-the-clock attention in a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they feel like part of the family. Pets enjoy plenty of playtime, outdoor exercise (especially for large-breed dogs), and cozy resting spots. I maintain their regular feeding and potty schedules and offer lots of love, enrichment, and companionship throughout the day and night. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I tailor each visit to their pet’s routine and comfort level. This can include daily walks, fresh food and water, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication administration if needed, and overnight stays for pets who do best in their familiar surroundings. I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and relaxed — and I keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every animal with the same care and devotion I give my own — because they deserve nothing less.

About: I have worked professionally for over 10 years in the animal industry, focusing on animal care and training. I was a dog trainer instructor for 5 years, and have worked with over 50 breeds of dogs of varying ages and obedience levels. I have also worked as a zookeeper for 5 years, and provided a high level of accredited care to all types of animals. Unfortunately my health has taken a turn for the worse this past year, and I can no longer sustain a healthy work life balance at the place I work at. I am very saddened by it, but I hope you will allow me to provide the quality and level of care I aspire to on a smaller and more personalized level. I am currently part time and in transition to another career path, working the late morning into early afternoon for only four hours a day. As such I can accommodate early mornings and late evening tasks, such as a walk or feeding or check in. I can not do house sits since I still have a small zoo of my own at home. boarding at my houses will be extremely case by case as the animals that live with me permanently come first. If your animal poses any risk to their safety, I will have to decline. I have made it work in the past with medium sized dogs, but they must be well trained and have little anxiety when being left alone. Crate trained is not a must, but is preferred.

“Tammy was such a super person. Excellent communication. She was a trooper too. Unfortunately, my dogs were not feeling well. She watched over them, cared for them, gave them medicine and extra snuggles. I was very comfortable leaving my dogs with her. I highly recommend her for your animals. Tammy was very understanding when my plans changed and changed again... I realize that I might not be as fortunate as she gets busier with clients. I was very grateful to her for being able to be here and take such good care of them.”


“I was so worried to leave my diabetic kitty to go out of state for a work event. Miranda was thorough, communicative, and thoughtful, even checked in the next day after I got back to make sure all was well. It was a relief to know I had someone I could trust to provide the extra care my kitty needs!”


About: I have grown up with pets my entire life. I currently have 2 dogs that are my life:) They are walked daily and sleep with me. They are part of my family! I currently teach and will be home all day starting this summer. I am home every night as well as on weekends. Your dogs will become part of my family. I live in the country and my dogs have the run of the backyard to play and have fun. If I would be caring for your pets in your home, this would depend on your directions. I would start them off on a leash until they are comfortable with me.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and I can’t imagine a home without one! Growing up, I helped care for our family dog whether it was walking, feeding, playing, or giving them all the love and belly rubs they needed. Whenever my parents were away, I was the one they trusted to take over completely. Over the years, I’ve also looked after dogs for my relatives and neighbors who trusted me to care for their dogs just like my own. Whether it’s a quick walk, some playtime, or keeping up with a routine while you’re away, I treat every dog like family. I’m happy to offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs! I’m free weekdays for walks and drop-in visits. I’m willing to work with you for what you and your pet’s specific needs are. In a client’s home, I always aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, walk times, or playtime. I know pets feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I take the time to follow your instructions carefully and give your pet the attention, affection, and structure they are used to. I always make sure pets are safe, hydrated, and never left unattended for too long.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs in my house my entire life! My family and friends always turn to me when in need of drop in visits or longer pet sitting time frames when needed. I am an active person, so I love taking animals on walks or even to the park! I work 3am-3pm at a hospital, 3 days a week- allowing me to have a flexible and open schedule. I am available afterwards if I don’t work the next day! I also am very active so I would love to take animals on walks or even runs if able! I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, so I am very familiar with how to take care of them. In my household we believe that animals are part of the family too, and love to shower them with attention and love!

“Abby was punctual, friendly, courageous and overall the perfect sitter! I have a giant Great Dane, an anxious, people selective dachshund and a cat that gets into everything but she handled it like a pro! highly recommend her.”


“Danielle was amazing. My dog is diabetic and she was willing to learn how to give him his insulin shots. She came to my home to learn how to administer his insulin. It’s such a good feeling to be able to have someone you can depend on to take such good care of your little fur baby. I would recommend getting Danielle any time and I’m sure to use her again. Thank you Danielle for being such a good and dependable dog sitter.”


About: I grew up with pets in my household and have an a great love for dogs of all types! Although I do not own a cat of my own, I do love to play with cats, watching their curious eyes. I enjoy walking/running around with the dog to keep them and myself healthy! I am fairly flexible and am willing to come in and help out at even the oddest times of the day, I am very good at following directions, and pride myself in being thorough with my appointments. Your pet is very special to you, and deserves quality care when you can’t be around. Reach out to me if you need a new pal for your loving, furry member of your great family! Work full time but get up early to get a good dog walk in and the fetch or puppy pool time in the afternoon after work. I have 67-acres where your pet could run! A pond to splash in and a huge ball field for catch! One dog boarding at a time.

“Salena did a fantastic job looking after my four cats. She communicated with me regularly to let me know how things were going and she took photos in which I could see for myself how my pals looked, and they all looked good. I would recommend her highly. I am totally and completely satisfied.”



“Thank you so much Jessica L. for taking great care of my Henry. He always looked happy with you. And hopefully the next time I go on vacation I can book you again. You deserve more than a 5 star review. Thanks again”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 11 for my friends, neighbors, and family. I have mainly cared for dogs but I love all animals and have experience with all kinds of pets! I am currently a student but I am available most afternoons and every weekend! I love animals and miss mine a lot at home so i'm hoping to find some great furry friends!

I do not have an area currently that I can watch dogs.

Mira K.

She cared for our dog and cat like they were her own, going above and beyond to make sure they were happy, well-fed, and loved while we were away. Our usually shy cat warmed up to her instantly, and our dog was clearly over the moon every time she came by. She kept us updated with daily messages and adorable photos, which gave us such peace of mind. Coming home to calm, content pets and a tidy house was the cherry on top. We wholeheartedly recommend Mira to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and truly amazing pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking her again! Julie”
