“Amy is truly a dog whisperer! My very barky and unsure husky mix warmed up to her within a few minutes and has been great for all the visits. Our other dog, a little beagle, has been a cuddle machine with her. I would recommend Amy with 10 stars if I could. We are definitely having her back!”
“Tanya is the best. When she dropped un she saw a perishable delivery and offered to put it away for me. I really appreciated that. Mre importantly she is great with animals!”
“Amelia was absolutely awesome doing drop in visits for our two cats. She was attentive and kept the house and litter boxes in good shape. Me and my wife loved getting the daily updates with pictures. Amelia was even able to win over our very shy cat. Would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: From puppies to seniors, I spent the last 15 years helping raise two adorable labs and I’ve been caring for animals since I could basically walk. These days, I share my home with Jepsen, my 4.5 year old cat, who loves waking me up in the middle of the night by turning on my HomePods when she thinks it's time I feed her... Whether it’s a high energy pup or a chill senior cat, I understand what each stage of life needs - patience, play, and plenty of care. I work from home, so I can give your pet the time, attention, and belly rubs they deserve. I’ve got a soft spot for animals of all kinds—honestly, how can you not love them, even when they’re being a little chaotic? I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine with relative ease. Whether it’s a mid-morning walk, an afternoon drop-in, or overnight stays, I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. When I’m caring for pets in your home, their comfort and safety come first. I always follow your instructions closely. Whether it’s feeding routines, medication, crate time, or quirky habits that make your pet feel secure. For walks and drop-ins, I stay alert and focused, making sure your pet is safe and happy. For overnight stays, I treat your space with respect and keep things calm and consistent so your pet feels at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel cared for, and for you to feel 100% confident they’re in good hands.
“This was my first time using Rover and leaving my new kittens while I was out of town for a few days. Samantha made everything so easy and it was obvious that my kittens were in very caring hands. She sent updates and pictures with every visit, which always helped put my mind at ease. I’ll definitely be reaching back out to Samantha the next time I need some help watching my little buddies!”
“Anne was great and my cats Miki and Nola loved her! She spent time playing and bonding with them and everything was clean and taken care of, including the mess that Miki made of the litter. I appreciated all the pictures and updates as well! I definitely recommend Anne and will be contacting her in the future!”
“Daniel was great with my dog Pepper. He did a meet and greet with her prior to my trip to ensure they started out as fast friends. Pepper enjoyed her time with Daniel as easily scene in the many photos he provided. I had no concerns with him dropping in on Pepper my home and I appreciated his short-notice availability and flexibility. I hope to use Daniel again very soon.”
“Andy has watched our cats a few times - they're always happy when we get home, and we can tell they are happy to see Andy when she comes to take care of them. We have some very specific health and food needs and she does a great job managing this while we are away, which means a ton to us. Thank you Andy!”
“Emily was so great for our kitties during our recent absence! One of our kitties had been sick and was still receiving oral medication, so I was very nervous about leaving her behind. Emily put my mind completely at ease. She is responsible, communicative, and very caring. We felt so lucky to have found her and will absolutely reach out for drop-in visits again.”
“Jessica was fabulous! I can't say enough about how prompt, communicative, and accommodating she was with our cat. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was just right, and her updates gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I’m incredibly thankful for her care and will absolutely be using her again without hesitation!”
“Andrew was extremely communicative, very attentive to our cat Niles’ needs, he took a lot of pictures of our kitty to reassure us, and went above and beyond taking care of our cat. Book him!”
“Shykala did a wonderful job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She really took the time to bond with him and she provided detailed updates, including lots of photos. I'll definitely book with Shykala again in the future!”
“Cats both loved James! Playing with them and making sure their litter and water was fresh. He took good care of our home, doing the curtains to help maintain temperature for kitties”
“sara was great with my finicky kitty and quickly won her over! i appreciated the updates and photos, and she even watered a plant for me. i came home to a happy cat☺️ thanks sara!”
About: I have both adopted and fostered young and senior dogs. The youngest dog I have fostered was 1 year old (Golden Retriever - 45 lbs) named Benny. The oldest dog I have cared for was my resident dog, Bubba (Black Lab/Husky Mix - 80 lbs) who I had for 4 years who recently passed away at 11. Dogs are my pride and joy! I work full time on the weekdays and am free on the weekends. I am available during the week sometimes after work. Willing to stay the weekend if needed. I treat dogs like I would my own. On walks I make sure I have everything we need before going out. I respect each pet and go with what they want to do. IE adhering to their boundaries. I am also great at following directions that the owner provides. I want all parties, pets, parents, and myself to feel comfortable.
“Juliana was great! She was reliable, communicated promptly, and cared very well for our cat while we were out of town! We are so thankful for Juliana’s help.”
About: I’ve watched family and friends dogs for years. I enjoy being the “go-to” person to watch their pets . Love caring for and playing with dogs, talking them on walks, and playing! I have some flexibility in my schedule during the weekdays . However, I can always do afternoons walks and care and availability full time on weekends. For longer I usually watch folks dogs in their home - if that’s the preference. If your puppy needs to be just walked and fed for just the day that’s also grand!
“Aimee was great with my dogs! She showed up right on time, handled them confidently, and they warmed right up to her (treats definitely helped). This was just a prep visit for a longer stay, and I feel really good knowing they’ll be in her hands.”

Eddie W.
“Eddie has been amazing with our 5-year-old Aussie Doodle, who is truly the most important part of our lives (no judgment!). Our pup can be anxious around new people (especially when they come into our house without us), so we're extremely careful. From the start, Eddie had a calm and gentle presence that immediately put him at ease...something that’s pretty rare. What we love most about Eddie is how attentive and in tune he is. He knows when our dog wants to play, when he needs a slower walk, or just some quiet company. He’s patient, caring, and totally trustworthy. Our dog absolutely lights up when Eddie shows up, which is the best reassurance we could ask for. We don’t trust many people with our dog, but we trust Eddie completely. He’s been a wonderful part of our dog’s life, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter or walker.”

I’m incredibly thankful for her care and will absolutely be using her again without hesitation!
Anne did a terrific job of taking care of our two cats while we were out of town. Above and beyond the usual tasks of feeding them and cleaning out the litter box, she played with them, brushed them, and took cute pictures of them. We could tell from the pictures that they were happy while we were away, and could tell right away when we got home that they had been well cared for while we were gone. We'd definitely hire Anne again.
Sarah went above and beyond to make sure our cat was happy. Sarah watched our 8 month old kitten for our first trip away. She jumped in and helped out with a jammed auto feeder, administered meds, and played with kitty cat non stop! I felt a lot of peace leaving our cat in such great hands.
Meri was absolutely amazing. Went above and beyond in every aspect of care for our kitties. She took excellent care of our cats and our house, her communication was amazing, and it was obvious that she really cared about our girls. We are super happy and will definitely be booking with Meri again!
Samantha was amazing! She went above and beyond with our two cats. She did everything we asked and more. She was great at communicating the whole time and seems to have good experience with cats. We would highly recommend Samantha and would personally use her services again.
