“Jaden quickly won over both our doggos and cats. He even managed to get our super duper scaredy cat to like him! He diligently provided the additional care we requested like watering plants, taking them for walks, and playing with their favorite toys. We also came home to a well kept home. We will be using him again and highly recommend.”


“Sydney was amazing with my dogs. She kept in contact with me while she was watching them and sent me so many pictures! So friendly and great communication. I would love to have her back to watch them anytime!!”


About: I’ve been around animals since I was little. From indoor pets to farms. I’m definitely an animal person. I have raised animals, and I have watched animals take their last breath. They deserve the world. I work a full time job but I don’t mind taking care of your animals before and after work. Honestly, I love animals so much that whatever needs to be done, I will do. I have two cats and I treat them like my children. They are very much so velcro cats, but I love it that way. Getting trust with animals is very important.

About: I've taken care of young and old dogs. I've watched family pets for years and have spent a lot of care on specialized research around animals to ensure I give them the best care I can. I love to play with them, never get bored of watching them and ass I started I pay a lot of attention to detail. I can pick up on all those little details in dogs that many sitters will miss. You could not leave your dog with a safer host. I have a very flexible and open schedule right now. I am willing to work whenever and can plan around caring for your pet. It will be my number one priority. I have an apartment that is free of pets right now so I have the space give your pet some extra room without disruption while they stay with me
“Amelie truly came in clutch when another dog sitter canceled 5 days before my trip. I couldn't have asked for a better person! She was amazing with my HUGE grumpy older dog and my HYPER younger 2 year old...and did I mention they are Rotties?!! She was amazing from start to finish. This is truly the first time I came home from a trip and the dogs seemed well loved and taken care of, no anxiety from them at all. Thanks, Amelie! Rover friends, look no further and book her now...just not when I need her ; )”

“Evan did such a great job watching our dogs today! This was our first time having him stay with them in our home and he made the whole day so much less stressful for us. He kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout the day, made sure everyone went outside and was comfortable. You can tell he genuinely enjoys animals and cared about making sure they were happy and relaxed. He was also really respectful of our home and even offered to help with chores before leaving which was so thoughtful. We came home to happy pups and would absolutely have Evan watch them again!”

“We’re so grateful we found Kalea. She stayed in our home and took amazing care of our two Labs while we were away over the 4th of July. She stuck to their routine, which really helped keep them calm and happy, especially during a stressful time. It was obvious they got tons of love and attention while we were gone. We came home to two very content pups! We’ll definitely be booking with her again — highly recommend!”

About: I’ve enjoyed taking care of pets and house sitting since 1998. I’ve had multiple pets at one time including cats, dogs, fish, and guinea pigs. I work remotely, with flexible hours. My down time activities include reading, which makes keeping an eye on furry family members easy and fun. I enjoy getting fresh air and walking which most dogs usually enjoy as well. I can work from most anywhere, so there’s no problem fitting right in to your pets familiar environment. I do need a desk to work from and somewhere to sleep if overnight care is requested.
About: I have had dogs my whole life, I currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat. I also volunteered at a local animal shelter performing duties that included walking, feeding and watching multiple dogs at a time. I will treat your pup just like my own and give it him/her the love and attention just like I do my own pets. I will also be sure to follow all procedures to make sure your pet feels like you're home even if you're not I currently work part time although waiting to hear from a full time job but I will be avaliable at night to take care of your dogs and walk them if needed I have an augor with a leash in my yard to keep my dog around. I also can walk them in the yard if needed. Also at clients I can let them out as usual routine
“Barbara took care of my senior dog while I camped overnight. My pup gets a little stressed when I’m away. I can tell that Barbara took great care of her because she wasn’t anxious when I got home, just happy! She was very friendly and you can tell she really cares for animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
About: I used to be a personal assistant and during this time I took care of my employers dogs. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes! I had a senior dog for three years and understand they're on a different schedule than most dogs. I've been apart of groups that help socialize puppies and programs where kids read to dogs! I work a healthcare schedule so I’m flexible for the most part. I usually work 3 12 hour shifts a week meaning I can be with your dog the other four days!! Previous dogs I took care of one of them wasn’t nice so I kept my distance as safe as possible still letting them outside and supervising, feeding them, giving treats! My personal dog, has a semi fixed schedule especially when everyone in the house is working that day but if we’re home we play and snuggle with him as much as he wants! He gets a bath every two weeks and we supplement his food with omega 3 tablets recommended by his vet, and foods such as sweet potato’s!
“Debra was great- communicated frequently while she took care of our fur babies. Sent pictures and left the house cleaner then when we left! I’ve already asked her to help us out again in the future. Highly recommend.”

About: I am great with all different kinds of dogs or cats! I am also good with medication if needed for the animals. I am also very attentive to animals. I currently do not have a job so I will have a lot of free time for your animals needs! I Usally am a little busy between 12-2 but if needed can push my other stuff back! I am great with dog walking and love taking long walks with animals or just playing with them outside or giving them attention inside also.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and I look forward to taking care of your fluffy friends as if they were my own pets. I work full time during the day but I can take walks in the mornings and in the evenings. I am also free on weekends. I am a trustworthy caretaker. I have taken care of pets both at my own house and at client’s houses. I have also worked with separation anxiety.
“Emina and Jackson were amazing! They sent me so many pictures throughout my trip. My dogs take a little while to warm up to people and they were very patient and came to meet them before so the dogs could get to know them. I will definitely use them again in the future!”

“I couldn’t recommend Victoria enough! My dog loves her and loves spending time with her. She sends plenty of photos and updates during our time away from our dog and is super sweet to him!!”
