“Dustin is always very attentive to our pets and we feel safe leaving town with them in his care. He is great at updating us throughout our trip with pictures and messages letting us know how the pets are doing.”

“Melinda is an excellent dog sitter! It was my first time having a dog sitter and she put my mind at ease! She was caring and great with Kasper! Overall, very satisfied with her care! Thank you again Melinda! ❤️”

“Stephanie was fantastic! She was punctual, polite, and very thorough, asking all the right questions to make sure our pets were well taken care of. She was incredibly kind and attentive to our dogs, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about them. Stephanie was a huge help while we were away on our camping trip. She not only took great care of our dogs, but also fed our pet betta fish and made sure Luna received her medication. Knowing that everything was being handled while we were away gave us great peace of mind. We really appreciate how responsible, caring, and communicative Stephanie was. We would definitely reach out to her again the next time we need someone to care for our pets. Highly recommend her!”

“Cory did such a good job with our cat who is incredibly affectionate and needy. He sent us all of the pictures and videos and even fixed a sprinkler that busted. The house and our girl were in great hands!”

“Jazmin was so amazing!!! Truly incredible person with so much care for my sweet girl! Took her time coming to meet her beforehand and even fed a churu. I felt immediately comfortable with leaving the keys with her knowing she would be taking great care of her! No hesitation to book you again Jazmin and recommend you to everyone. Thank you!!”

“Christina is fantastic! She is a wonderful communicator and she always goes above and beyond (even goes as far as sweeping the space around the litter box and bringing in packages from the front porch :)). She is my go-to for checking on my cats when I'm out of town. I highly recommend her!!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and feel very comfortable around them and very in-tune to their needs. I also worked for Midtown Mutts for a year prior to Covid and going back to school (many of the dogs I walked then are shown in my gallery). Not only do I view pets as family members and a whole lot of fun, I also view them as lifelong friends and would take special care that they are always safe, comfortable, happy, and loved! I am familiar with many different breeds and know what different needs this entitles for each. I am available for specific needs as requested by the owner, such as extra walks or special diets and will respect these. I love to take dogs on runs, to the dog park, or on long hikes if the owner permits. I hope you will consider me for your next dogsitting need! I am currently working from home and self-employed, so I am very flexible with my hours, available nights or weekends if needed, and can work around tricky schedules. I have a daily routine with my own dog and cat, so am very aware of pet routines and their importance. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and energy level, whether that means active play and walks or a quieter, more relaxed approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining consistency—feeding on schedule, refreshing water, administering care as instructed, cleaning litter boxes or pet areas, and providing companionship and enrichment. I respect the home and any specific instructions provided, and I make sure pets get attention, reassurance, and positive interaction while their owners are away. I am attentive to pet behavior and wellbeing, communicate clearly with owners, and will provide updates as requested so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My goal is for pets to feel secure and cared for, and for owners to feel peace of mind.
About: Use my promo code CORINP14452 for $20 off your first booking! Hi there! I’ve loved animals my whole life. I’ve had many cats, an Australian Shepard, a Maltese, hamsters, and even a snake. I have volunteered at a dog rescue, and I have experience walking and sitting all sorts of dogs— small, large, young and excited, old and a bit slower, trained, untrained. I've raised dogs and cats and have done the whole shabang- training, potty-training, cleaning up messes, etc. I understand things happen and am patient with them. I'm happy to play with your pets, take dogs on walks, and give them extra love while you are away! I am a clear, honest communicator. I want you to be aware if anything happens you need to know about to ensure the safety of your pet. I have been on your end of Rover, and I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone you don’t know very well. So I will send consistent updates and pictures, and be available for any questions from you. I can’t wait to meet your furbaby! I will treat them as my own 🩵 I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I have a few meetings spread through the day, but most of the time, I can make drop ins/walks work with whatever schedule is needed. And if I am dog sitting, I will be home all day since I work from home. At my home, I have a fenced in yard. I will supervise any outside time. I will make sure the leash and collar are secured before going on a walk. I don’t put my face in their face, and allow them to take the lead on contact and interaction. I know I’m a stranger to them at the beginning, and know trust needs to be built!
“Jandy was fantastic. Not only was she able to fit us in on short notice. She took a lot of time to give our cats ton of attention and care. We would absolutely rebook and recommend her!”


About: I’ve raised, trained, and dealt with a range of dogs, big, small, young, or old my whole life, and I'm good at adjusting to each dog's proper needs and quirks! I’m a very patient person and like to take time making sure the dog is having a good time, along with making sure my clients feel safe and comfortable leaving their babies in my care! I have five dogs of my own, such as my Shih Tzu and my Dachshund! I’ve owned many big dogs in the past as well and have a wide experience with different dogs and their quirks! I’m currently a full-time college student, and am free throughout the week and can be flexible with most times throughout the day, whether it be early morning or later in the day! I am able to take extra time for your pet if needed, and don’t mind making adjustments if need be! I have raised many dogs, and even rescued loads of animals throughout my life, and have learned how to adjust to dogs needs. I am very patient and enjoy taking my time making sure every pet is comfortable and having fun throughout the walk. I generally like to update often, and make sure both sides are comfortable and feel safe with the care of the dog. Based on your pets reactivity or personality, I will base my bookings off of that to make sure everything is smooth sailing, as I’d never put a dog in harms way!

“I cannot possibly recommend Kelsie more highly. In every way she was exceptional. She was very communicative and professional. She went above and beyond when taking care of our dog. He can be shy and timid and she was very kind and calm eventually eating his trust and getting him excited to walk and play which I have not seen before. It was wonderful to see. I cannot overstate enough how continually impressed I was in every way.”

“Jenna is better than anything I could have ever asked for! I feel incredibly lucky to have someone so capable and passionate to put my trust into. She goes above and beyond at every step of the way to make you and your pets her #1 priority. She’ll be my go-to for any time I need someone to care for my little guys.”

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I adore all animals and really enjoy their company. Having two fur babies of my own I know the importance of having someone you trust take care of them. I would treat your pets as if they were my own. Pets are family and should be treated with love, compassion, and respect. I have taken care of animals of all ages. I can give medication if needed. I would love to spend time with your pets when you are not able to. I currently work part time from home and have a flexible schedule. I would have plenty of time to spoil your fur babies with walks and belly rubs. I can do doggy daycare and boarding almost any day and time as long as your dog is tolerant to other dogs and is up to date on vaccinations. Playtime, walks, snuggles, and whatever else your pups or cats needs are, I am more than happy to supply them with the love and attention they need while you are away.
“Michelle always does an incredible job making sure my babies are well taken care of! Her message & photo updates are frequent and informative, she’s very thorough in completing any tasks that are requested to be done, and she’s super responsive with communication. My kitties all love and trust her and I do as well! 😸”

“Paula was awesome! I found her with fairly short notice after my other arrangements fell through. I'm so glad I chose to trust her with my cat Franklin, she took great care of him! Paula sent updates and photos with her visits to let me know how Franklin was doing. I would definitely book with her again.”

Lauren was amazing!! My boyfriend and I both had last minute plans/work in which our dog Rusty would be alone for most of the day, and Lauren was happy to book a last minute check in to make sure he had water and a potty break. She also came to meet him a day before to make sure he was comfortable with her (he loved her immediately). She was quick to respond and easy to communicate with, and I’d be more than happy to trust her with my 85lb anxious pup in the future!

Kathleen was fantastic! She came over for a meet and greet before our trip and asked thoughtful questions. Throughout our trip we could tell she really cared about the well-being of our cat and chickens. She even spent extra time just hanging out with our cat to make sure she felt comfy and loved while we were away. She sent detailed reports and lots of photos which is a must! Thank you, Kathleen!

Felicia helped watch our two cats over the weekend. She’s a great communicator and sent plenty of photos and notes keeping us in the loop. Also appreciate her spending time with both cats playing and giving them plenty of treats and snacks. We would 100% recommend Felicia for cat sitting, she’s awesome.

Five stars! She took wonderful care of Penny, Stella, and Winston and sent us plenty of photos and thoughtful updates. She went above and beyond, even cleaning and refilling our chickens’ water dishes, which wasn’t part of her booked care! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pups were getting so much love and attention. We WILL happily book her again and highly recommend her!

Jaclyn did an amazing job in caring for our cats. Even when her phone was out of commission and she wasn't able to get in touch with us or Rover, she came by every day to take care of the cats and made sure they have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and fresh food. I really appreciate her care for dedication to making sure our cats were cared for.
