“Valerie did such a great job taking care of our fur babies while we were out of town for Thanksgiving! At first I was skeptical of doing in house dog sitting but Valerie made me feel so comfortable and she was so caring and went above and beyond to make me and my pups feel as comfortable as possible! My dogs loved her and I would definitely use her services again! Thank you Valerie!! :)”


“Aimee was amazing! Our animals warmed up to her so fast and seemed totally content the whole time she was there. She sent so many great pictures and updates which put my mind at ease and she even did the laundry and took out the trash before she left. we will definitely be using her again!”


“Aidan was absolutely amazing, kept me updated and informed the whole time. Aidan took my request very last minute and I am so grateful for that. Will be booking again!”


About: I’ve cared for multiple pups (and cats) over my 9 years of being with them. I’m very open to constructive criticism because I want to be able to get to know you, and your pet. I love animals, and enjoy being around them all day, I’ve already worked part-time at a boarding/ day care facility, and I’m hoping to extend my time (full-time) to care for your fur babies! I’m always around dogs, cats, birds, and any pet you could probably think of, with enough information and research, I’m sure I’ll be the perfect caregiver for your cat or dog. I’ll care for any pet as long as I have some form of base instruction (feeding, bed time, how many potty breaks, etc) if you expect me to take your pup out 20 times a day, then I’ll do that! It would be very nice to know before hand though. I’ll personally make a list of the expectations you have for me!

“Haley was WONDERFUL! She was so kind and loving with my dog, and they bonded immediately. Considerate, on time, and very professional. Will definitely book with her again!”


About: I’ve always had a strong connection with animals, they seem to know that I love and care for them immediately. I’ve had the most antisocial pets snuggling me within the first few minutes of knowing me. I’m not a magician but I will treat your beloved babies with same amount of care and love as I would with my own. I can be booked from anytime! This is my only obligation and it’s what I’m passionate about, I look forward to caring for your fur babies! Every pet is different and has their own routine they’re accustomed to. I try to know as much about their day to day as much as I can prior to, so I can provide the best and most comfortable experience for your babies! I’m very adaptable, so anything I haven’t done before I will learn quick. I will treat each and every client, (and their pets) with respect and honesty.

“Madison was fantastic home-sitting and staying with my cat, Audrey, for a couple of days while I was away. She was very professional, communicative, sent lots of photos of Audrey, and was just a fantastic "pet-friend," caregiver, and homesitter overall. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to take care of your fur kids.”


“Denise was a great sitter for our old guys who need a little more care. She was so sweet and patient with them and double checked with me about timing before leaving. She sent pictures each day and when she got there and when she left. We got home and to our surprise, she had washed the sheets and put them on the bed as well as the towels and did some other cleaning around the house. I am 8 months pregnant and I can’t express how much that meant! I would definitely recommend having her watch your furry family members.”



“Besaida was a great sitter for my pup Shiloh. Her communication was excellent, and Shiloh was so happy when I got home. I look forward to booking her again in the future.”


“I’d give her 10 stars if I could! She came over ahead of time to meet my senior boys and took her time to sit with me to go over everything and their old man needs. She kept in touch throughout our time away several times a day and sent pictures of them playing and lounging. I felt she was very professional and great at communication and my pups definitely took to her. We got home and they were excited to see us but clearly very happy! The house looked in great shape as well. I will definitely be using her services again and I highly recommend! With 2 senior dogs, one who needs medication, I can get a little nervous with leaving them, but I truly felt they were in great hands and it was such a relief.”


“We are so happy with Ariel and grateful. She was very communicative with us. Our dogs were well taken care of. We came home to a clean home and happy days. We will definitely book her again.”


“Halle was wonderful with our pup while we were out of town. She was flexible with our schedule and gave us daily updates. I felt at ease on vacation knowing he was in good hands!”


About: Hello!! I am a 21 year old college student. I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager and I do pet-sit outside of rover as well. I have a lot of experience in different animals ranges from dogs to Guinea pigs to snakes. I am very patient with animals and I love to learn about all the different animals I pet-sit and their preferences. In my family we do not believe in giving up on pets when they get older so I have lots of experience with older animals!! I am currently a part-time college student, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets! I am busy throughout the week so I will only be doing pet-sitting during the weekends when I am off. So if you need a weekend get away then I am person for you!! I don’t believe in fitting an animal into a busy schedule, I would ensure they would be my main priority. I will take care of your pet based on the instructions that are given. I know I would want my pet-sitter to take care of my babies a certain way, so make sure to follow every owners specific rules so I can take care of their fur baby to the best of my ability.

About: Experience includes growing up with a mini farm to raising sugar gliders in college and now having my two yorkiepoo fur babies for the last 6 years. My toddler son and I have been doing drop in visits for our neighbors dogs for a couple years now and really enjoy the cuddles and play time! I’m a SAHM so my schedule is pretty open 7 days a week for drop by visits to include walks, potty breaks and play time. Having an open schedule makes it easy to pop over to your home to let your furry loved ones out to stretch their legs, be fed, play some ball, get tummy rubs or for walks. My two small sons are always with me but one spends most of his day snoozing while my 2 year old toddler would love nothing more than to throw the ball 100 or more times for your furry friend.

“Lauren was amazing with my very high energy dogs. She is very professional and I felt totally comfortable having her care for my babies and my home.”


“Marianne is an exceptional sitter. She asked for detailed instructions about our dog’s food and care. She sent us pics and updates frequently. We are grateful for the love she showed our dog. We will certainly use Marianne again.”


“We’ve had Ashley dogsit for us twice now in our home and she’s great. I don’t have to worry about our golden retriever that has a destructive streak and our older aussie while she’s there.”

About: I’ve taken care of many pets since I was young: fish, cats, dogs, birds, you name it! I have 1 dog of my own that I’m currently leash training and teaching basic commands. I would be more than happy to help out with training if requested! I’m currently home from college for the summer, I’m very flexible on my availability and times you’d like me to check on your baby. I love walking dogs, lounging with cats or just coming over to let them out and play for a little while! I am very aware of surrounding whether I’m walking or letting pets outside to do their business. I am able to crate your fur baby if needed and am very capable of following strict food diets (if they have one)!

About: I have grown up taking care of numerous dogs including inside dogs and hunting dogs and frequently pet sit for friends and family when needed :) I am currently working part time and usually work from 2-6 or 2-7 3-5 days a week. I will be able to work around these hours and I also get my schedule very early in advance! I have a fenced in backyard with a lot of room to run and play as well as a friendly poodle to keep your babies company (they can be easily separated if needed) !! At clients homes, it varies depending on the client’s request. However, I do love going outside with the dogs as well as being cuddled up watching tv with them☺️

About: I’ve taken care of a dog since I was around 6 years old. I will ensure your dog is taken care of regardless of anything. I’m currently in college and sometimes I babysit but can always fit other things into my schedule and can’t wait to meet your fur animals. I will ensure they are well taken care of and be very respectful of your home! It will be like you never left them,they will be in great hands!

“We have two labs, the youngest of which is a puppy. Cameron is amazing with them both-we are so lucky to have found him! He has been great when we have to be out of town and away from our sweet pups. He has helped with training our youngest lab to be more calm but will get out there and throw the frisbee or ball to him, until he is completely worn out! Our older lab is 8 years old and she absolutely adores Cameron too! I honestly cannot say enough great things about Cameron and the peace of mind we have, knowing he is taking such great care of our sweet babies!”
