“I’m so grateful for Hannah spending time with my cat while I was on vacation. She gave me peace of mind and kept me updated. She was great with my shy cat, getting him to warm up to her quickly. I’ll be looking to book with her again for sure!”


“Luis was absolutely wonderful Dixon became comfortable with him quickly Luis sent updated photos and it was obvious Dixon was completely at home I would recommend Luis wi 5 stars I tipped him personally”


“Gail is a superstar! I needed to find a dog sitter at the last minute and had never used Rover before. Gail responded right away and made a plan to meet me and my pup right away to confirm it was a fit. Gail did a fantastic job watching Rocky! She sent me updates and I never had to think or worry about how things were going at home during our trip. I will absolutely use Gail again and cannot recommend her enough.”


“Maggie was fantastic! She took great care of Birdie while staying in our home; providing 1-2x daily updates and photos during her stay. Birdie loved her, and the new toys that Maggie had brought for her. We’ll definitely be using Maggie again.”


“We knew our high energy pups were in the absolute best hands with Paige!! They loved her immediately and our anxious doggo was totally at ease. She sent us a bunch of photos and left the house very clean! We were grateful to find such a genuine and caring person to love on our dogs while out of town— already planning to use Paige as a dog/house sitter in the future.”

About: I have had dogs and cats growing up my entire life and have a ton of experience with both animals. I absolutely love playing with dogs, learning their personalities and snuggling with them as well. starting in the fall, I will be student teaching full-time, but will have evenings and early mornings available. Weekends are also free! It just depends on what week. I cannot right now care for animals in my home as I am living with my parents. While staying in your home, I will make sure your pet is always fed. Walked and played with and safe.

“Wow! Karen was absolutely amazing! So very kindhearted with my pup. Send updated pictures on how he was doing. Also became best friends with him.”


About: I fully enjoy being with dogs, they make me smile. No extra training, but have been around dogs all my life! Would love to work with your pet I am available for weekends and Mondays now. Schedule will change mid August, will be working part time after Aug.15th, availability will change for more hours. My lab was a rescue and is living his best life,he is a big part of our family! When I have done pet sitting in the past,I keep the same routine for the pet. My house has had many pets in it,one level ,plenty of room to share with other pets.


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was a kid. They give so much love it’s easy to return the favor with care and company. I take pleasure in getting past the “stranger” barrier and being accepted as “friend”. There no job that is too dirty or labor-intensive for me when it comes to pet care. Currently I am in between jobs and working side jobs to fill in the gap. I have a good amount of availability throughout the rest of the summer so please reach out to me if you need assistance with your pets. I am a very responsible and considerate when it comes to looking after pets in peoples home. I make sure to follow all protocols the pet owner/homeowner may have when it comes their pet and home. Pet care is my main priority along with respect for the owners and their requests.

About: I have been working with dogs specifically for the better part of 20 years. I have worked with them from the kennel setting to daycare and grooming to the medical setting with 8 or so years in veterinary medicine experience ( vet assistant and client care representative). I have always grown up or had dogs my whole life , currently I have an adorable little scruffy man from the Dominican Republic , Maxx , he’s my side kick! I’ve also 2 cats , one an older lady with diabetes and my other a chubby middle aged gal with urinary issues! To say I am versed in these things is and understatement. I have a real calm and even demeanor with animals and let them tell me where we stand and work from there. Currently working part time , making my pet sitting availability my top first priority. Once I learn your pets routine and what is needed from me , I work around those needs. I stay in your home. At this time I have found that to be easiest on people’s pets. Surroundings and routines stay the same and over all it’s less stress for the pet. On rare special occasions a pet can could home with me. But at this time I am not able to accommodate that.

“Amanda was so great with my dog, Louie! He looked so happy in every picture she sent and I could tell when I got home that he was well taken care of while I was gone. We will for sure be using her again in the future. 10/10 recommend!!”


“Kaitlyn is an excellent dog and house sitter! Our dog is blind and can be difficult to handle – but not for Kaitlyn. She was great at keeping us informed while with our dog, and communicating with us about scheduling. We plan to continue using her services and would highly recommend her.”


“Ashley stepped in when my pet sitter canceled a week before Christmas and she was amazing!! Maui and Kaedie were well taken care of and I came home to happy pets and a clean house. I’d happily book with Ashley the next time we go on vacation.”


“Jess dog/house sat for me last week and she was absolutely amazing! I think my dogs want to live with Jess (and Matt) now, to be honest. :) She was highly communicative, sent a ton of pictures, and kept my pups totally entertained. Couldn't recommend Jess more highly for house/dog sitting and dog walking!”


About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently care for four of my own. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts, I’m comfortable with all ages and breeds. Whether your dog is high-energy or laid-back, I’ll provide personalized care that keeps them safe, happy, and loved, just like they’re part of my own pack! I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to offer consistent and reliable care for your dog. Whether you need quick drop-ins, energizing walks, or overnight stays, I’m happy to work around your schedule. My goal is to give your pup the attention and care they deserve when you can’t be there. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I closely monitor each pup in my care to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and safe at all times, whether we’re out for a walk or relaxing at home.

“Made it home--Chase was incredibly calm and relaxed. The house is in great shape. Jared and Tanya, you are both truly wonderful. Thank you so much. When it's a dire, last minute situation like that, I typically just prepare myself to "take what I can get" in regards to quality of sitter. It's been really great having exceptional service despite the frantic circumstances. Cheers!”


About: Hi! I’m Adam — a lifelong dog lover with real experience caring for pups. I’ve had multiple dogs my entire life and started fully taking care of them on my own when I turned 18. My parents travel for work often, so I’ve been the go-to guy for daily walks, feeding, playtime, and all-around pet care. I know how important pets are to a family, and I’ll treat yours like my own. Whether it’s a quick walk or a weekend stay, I’ve got you covered! I work Monday–Thursday 9–5:30 and Friday until 3, but I’m usually free all weekend. I’ll treat your pet like my own — with plenty of care, play, and attention! I stick to each pet’s routine as closely as possible — feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment so your pet feels at home and cared for.

About: I’ve always had a passion for dogs and wanted to work with them. It started when I was young I would walk the neighborhood dogs from newfoundlands to smaller mixes. When I turned 16 I began working in a doggie daycare and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I’ve had experience with training basic obedience/manners and wouldn’t mind showing your pup some new tricks as well! I’ve had experience with most temperaments from reactive dogs to dumb puppies and all are welcome here!! I am currently an apprentice at a training facility to follow my career and love for dogs!! I currently work part time so there is no worries about my availability! Your pup is my top priority and I have plenty of time to hangout with them!! I am experienced with all the tools from prongs, e-collars, crates. Whatever your dog needs in order to have a relaxing productive visit/walk etc I am always willing to do. Please tell me all your quirks and tips! You know your dog best and I always want them to have fun and succeed!!!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background and nearly 20 years of experience as a nurse, along with a lifelong love for animals. I’m calm, reliable, and especially attentive to the needs of senior pets, those with medical conditions, or animals that may be anxious or shy. I also have experience with basic puppy training and medication administration. I bring a gentle, professional approach to every pet I care for—and I treat each one like family Pet care fits into my routine perfectly—I’m available after work on weekdays, early mornings, and anytime on weekends. I’m committed to making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for during our time together. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk, or overnight care, I’m flexible and dependable, with great communication to keep pet parents updated every step of the way. In the client’s home, I make sure pets stay comfortable in their familiar space. I follow their routine closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication—and give them lots of love and attention while you’re away. I keep things clean and calm, and I always send updates so you know how your pet is doing. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a safe, cozy environment that feels like a home away from home. I only take in a limited number of pets at a time to give each one the attention they deserve, and I maintain a consistent routine to help them feel relaxed and secure.

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—including senior dogs and those with special medical or behavioral needs. I’m skilled in administering medications both orally and through injections, such as insulin, and I always ensure pets are calm and comfortable during the process. Whether it’s high-energy pups who need active play or older dogs who need a gentle touch, I tailor my care to fit each pet’s needs. I also pride myself on clear, consistent communication with pet parents—sharing updates, photos, and honest check-ins so you always know your dog is in good hands. I am a college student home for the summer, I have availability all week to meet the needs of your dogs! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life—I have my own dogs, so my routine naturally revolves around feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they’re happy and healthy. Adding other pets into that routine feels like a natural extension of what I already love doing. I’m used to managing different needs and schedules, and I truly enjoy giving each pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. In my home, pets get plenty of attention, structured routines, and playtime—plus a cozy space to relax, just like one of my own dogs. When I’m in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions. I respect each home as if it were my own and always keep communication open with regular updates and photos.
