“As always Rebecca was great. Our dogs love her and she takes extremely good care of them while we’re away. She communicates well with messages and pictures. She goes above and beyond taking care of our pets and our home!”


“A-M-A-Z-I-N-G…WE ALL LOVE KAYTLIN!!! We have two rescue dogs; one of which had a significantly harder start in life and we spend every day trying to make up for that. She is not very trusting and rightfully so, but Kaytlin being so kind, gentle and deliberate in everything she does won over our Penny (Australian cattle dog mix). Our other girl Gigi (GSP mix) is much easier to win over, she has a ton of energy and LOVES to play ball and Kaytlin did not disappoint. By day two when Kaytin arrived both girls were barking with excitement. We were in town for 3 full days and she all but stayed overnight with us, as we were in a BBQ class in a neighboring city. She didn’t complain when we asked her to be there ungodly early and stay late. If she were willing to travel I would fly her in for all our housesitting needs. As for the husband and myself, Kaytin’s communication was OVER THE TOP FANTASTIC. She sent so many photos and was super conscientious, especially when one of our girls threw up on day 2; she has a sensitive stomach and sometimes playing to hard too early in the AM can upset it…nothing Kaytin did at all!!! We explained everything to do for Gigi and she was good as new an hour later…I know that because she communicated with us the entire time. I’m so glad we found you and are truly grateful for you taking such great care of our babies!!! We’re looking forward to seeing you once we plan our next trip to the area; we’ll reach out to book you before we book any other part of the stay.”


“Ellen and her husband did a great job of watching all of our dogs (including a new puppy). She kept us up to date with check-ins and was very transparent with us about anything we may want to know. Ellen was great with her communication and replied quickly to us. We will definitely be booking with her in the future”


“Carol was the first sitter I've used from this site, and what an unexpected surprise! She kept in contact with me while I was gone, took wonderful care of my pet, and even left my home cleaner that it was when she arrived! I'll definitely use her again!”


“Danielle house sat for my babies and took such good care of them! She even stayed late on the day I got home to make sure they weren't left alone for too long - I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her again!!”


“Leia did a wonderful job taking care of my fur babies. She went above and beyond to keep my home clean and comfortable. She sent daily pictures and my babies lived her. I highly recommend asking Leia to care for your animal(s). Thank you for a great experience!”


“Ariana is fantastic! She was easy to communicate with and sent updates and pictures through out our trip. The dogs had a great time with her and it relieved so much stress knowing they had someone to play and cuddle with. She and her fiancé clearly love dogs and are great with them.”

I know how important trust and consistency are, and I’m committed to keeping your pets safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

I make sure to give lots of love, attention, cuddles, and play time with any animal of any size. I am big on treat giving!

“Jacqui is amazing, if you are looking for a dog sitter please consider her. My dog definitely gave her a hard time due to high anxiety and being scared but Jacqui was patient, communicative, resourceful and dedicated to making my dog feel comfortable. I seriously don’t know what I would have done without her. I highly recommend booking her for your dog, she offers excellent service with pets and I am happy she was there for my dog.”


About: $20 off your first booking with this link! https://www.rover.com/sit/isabeh83628 I am a mom and I have been caring for pets for over a decade. My youngest child who is 14, loves to help me. Taking care of animals is my passion and I enjoy taking walks with them and taking them to the park. I believe I would be great person to watch your animals, cat or dog, just give me a chance and I won’t let you down! You will always be satisfied with your pet's care! I currently work only 3 days a week, therefore I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I offer boarding any day of the week, including holidays! I have a fenced yard and I can easily crate your dog or cat, if needed. I have experience with pets who have special diets and/or medications as well.

About: I have always loved taking care of animals. Growing up in military housing I would care for our neighbors dogs whether it was walking, bathing or brushing teeth. I do have two small Chihuahua mix fur babies of my own. My priority is to ensure a safe and clean home for my dogs, and I promise it will be the same for yours as well. You will get photos throughout the day to stay updated! I am currently working part time and I would have time avalible during the day to ensure I am able to provide the upmost care for your fur babies! I do live in an apartment building but there is a bark park I can take your baby to burn off energy if you prefer, or I can also walk them multiple times a day around the complex.

About: As a lifelong animal lover with 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Whether you’re headed out of town or just need a helping hand during a busy day, I’m here to provide reliable and loving care. I offer services including dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and I always prioritize your pet’s unique needs, routines, and personality. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I also provide updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident while you’re away. Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet — I’d love to get to know you and your pet Animals have always been at the heart of my daily routine. Whether I’m caring for a client’s dog, checking in on a cat, or grooming horses at the barn, pet care is more than a job — it’s a lifestyle I truly love. I plan my schedule with pets in mind, making sure each one gets the time and care they need — whether that’s a midday walk, a feeding routine, or some extra playtime. Caring for animals isn’t just something I fit in — it’s something I genuinely look forward to and prioritize in everything I do. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog loves belly rubs and fetch, or prefers quiet snuggles and routine, I make sure they feel relaxed, secure, and right at home. I follow your pet’s schedule closely — including feeding times, medication, potty breaks, and walks — and I’m experienced with special diets, senior care, and administering medications. My home is pet-friendly, with plenty of space to play, cozy spots for napping, and a clean, supervised environment. I limit the number of pets I board at once to ensure everyone gets plenty of one-on-one attention, and I send regular photo updates so you can stay connected while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for pets professionally and personally for several years, and it’s truly something I’m passionate about. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors and I always take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine as a structured, essential part of the day just like eating or working. • Morning: Feed pets, refresh water, take dogs for a walk or clean litter boxes. • Midday: Walks, playtime, or drop-in visits if providing services to clients. • Evening: Dinner, another walk or potty break, brushing or light grooming. • Safe environment: Pet-proofed spaces, separate areas if needed for different pets. • Feeding on schedule: Following owner instructions exactly, including dietary restrictions. • Exercise/playtime: Supervised yard play, walks. • Comfort & rest: Cozy resting areas, routines that mimic their home life to reduce stress. • Updates to owners: Daily photos or messages to reassure and stay transparent.

“Breanna was great, my puppy loved staying with her! She showed up on time and was able to handle his bursts of energy with no problem. Will definitely be requesting her services again in the future, thanks Breanna!”
