About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my extensive hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I have years of experience working with dogs through professional grooming, breeding, and showing, so I’m comfortable recognizing individual needs and adjusting my care accordingly. I’m especially experienced with puppies and young dogs, including basic manners, crate routines, leash skills, grooming desensitization, and helping them build confidence in new situations. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra patience, frequent potty breaks, or a little more help getting comfortable. Because of my grooming background, I can also help maintain coats, brush pets, clean up after messy adventures, and keep an eye out for changes in their skin, coat, ears, or overall condition. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday routine. I work with animals regularly through grooming, showing, and caring for my own dogs, so feeding, potty breaks, exercise, grooming, playtime, and one-on-one attention are built into my day. I’m able to plan my schedule around the pets in my care and make sure they receive plenty of attention rather than simply being checked on between other commitments. I care for every pet based on their individual routine, personality, and comfort level. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, feeding according to their normal schedule, playtime, exercise, and a clean, comfortable environment. I can accommodate crates and other routines they are accustomed to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, medications when instructed, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special care requests. I also make sure their space stays clean and secure. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and stress-free while their owners are away.
“Our cats received excellent care from Zander! Not only did he take care of the boys, he made sure we knew when something at home appeared amiss. I appreciated his extra set of eyes on our home while we were out of town and coming home to happy, happy, happy cats! Thank you, Zander!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and everyone who knows me knows I’m a true animal lover. I currently share my home with two English Bull Terriers and two mixed Dachshunds, so caring for dogs is simply part of my everyday routine. My dogs are family, and I treat every dog with the same love and attention I give my own. I’ve raised puppies and cared for pregnant dogs, which has given me experience with dogs in different stages of life and with different personalities and needs. One of my favorite things is taking dogs on adventures, playing with them, and enjoying the unconditional love they bring. There is something so special about the bond we share with our dogs, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member. When your dog is with me, they’ll be cared for by someone who genuinely loves animals and understands that pets aren’t just pets…they’re family. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life since I have my own dogs. My day naturally includes feeding, letting them out, walks, playtime, and making sure they’re comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I’m used to being attentive to their needs and adjusting my schedule around them. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my main focus is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner.
“I needed a sitter last minute and Riley came through! She was very professional and left me with lots of photos and detailed updates for my sweet, old boy. She and my cat seems to have gotten along quite well :) I recommend Riley!”
“Samuel was wonderful as always! My new kitten really warmed up to him :) and he takes great care of my senior cat on medication every time. Samuel is my go -to sitter - always reliable and really good with animals:)”
About: I grew up around dogs, starting with my dad raising and training hunting hounds when I was a kid. In my teens, I worked with sled dogs, deepening my understanding of training and care. Since 2013, I’ve been raising and training Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. Specializing in high-anxiety dogs and behavioral issues. I use balanced training methods tailored to each dog’s needs, helping them build confidence and trust. I believe quality pet care should be accessible and affordable, ensuring every dog gets the guidance and attention they deserve. Dogs are part of my everyday life—I run a family-operated kennel on our 9.5-acre farm, where training, exercise, and care are woven into my daily routine. From structured training sessions to supervised playtime and socialization, I ensure each dog gets the attention and guidance they need. I believe quality pet care should be accessible and affordable, making sure every dog has the chance to thrive. Safety is my top priority. Every dog in my care is monitored closely, whether during training sessions, supervised playtime, or rest periods. I have experience working with all breeds, from small companions to large working dogs, and I tailor my approach to each dog's needs. Trust is everything when it comes to your pet’s care. With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I use balanced training methods that build confidence while ensuring a positive, structured environment. I believe quality pet care should be accessible and affordable, making sure every dog has the chance to thrive. When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family.
“This was my first time using Rover. When I met Shelly, I knew she was the perfect fit. Our cat Wally is not always welcoming to new people, especially when we are not around. Shelly took time to interact with Wally. Her updates after each visit were appreciated and helped me feel comfortable knowing that Wally was doing great while on vacation. Shelly even brought fresh catnip, which Wally loved. I would recommend Shelly. She has a warm and friendly presence.”
About: I’ve have always had pets growing up including farm animals. While growing up, I took care of 5 dogs, 2 cats, 2 rabbits, chickens and some ducks. I’d be happy to help care for your pets. I currently work full time and have a 2 year old daughter. As long as we can communicate and work out a schedule, I can take care of your fur baby! I have a fenced yard with a standard sized dachshund that can help keep your fur baby. Happy! I have a two year-old daughter, the fur baby must be kid friendly. I am also able to go to the clients home and take care of your fur baby there
“Heather was amazing watching my cats last minute! I had to leave town last minute, but she was able to come by that afternoon and meet my cats! She was in contact with me the entire time and it was such a relief to know my sweet cats were being looked after! Thank you so much Heather!”
“Alana was great. She did a drop in for my two dogs. We had a small miscommunication about what was needed and she fixed it immediately with an additional drop in. My dogs were happy and healthy when we got home.”
About: I grew up with all kinds of different animals-dogs, cats, horses, fish, rabbits, ducks, etc- and love animals. We own our home so we don't have any landlords to answer to or worry about, our house has a fenced yard with 7,500 square feet to play and run. In our home we have three children ( 2, 4 & 6). My kids has been all kinds of animals before. We also have two cats. We are also usually home most holidays if you need care during any of the holiday seasons. The kids and I are home all day most days, give or take a sports activity but those aren't usually very long and are often close to the house. I have a 6 ft tall fenced backyard to play in. Sleeping arrangements are totally separate for my animals and guest animals. There is no unsupervised time between my kids/animals and guests.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
