“Caroline is such an incredible sitter. My cats took a liking to her almost immediately, even though they are very anxious, and she made them feel very safe. We also had some last minute requests that we needed for one cat, and Caroline was so accommodating. She is amazing with communication, and really does go above and beyond. I couldn’t recommend anyone better.”


“Meghan is amazing and all over her time stamps are so detailed, they make me laugh as she describes our pups personalities so well! Thank you as always Meghan, we appreciate you more than you know!”


“Rachel was amazing! She watched over our 2 dogs and 1 cat. She handled our German Shepherd and Chihuahua/Dachshund. They have special needs and I really appreciated how she cared and went the extra to spend time with them and even cleaned up accidents and filled up treat puzzle. Rachel even brought in the mail!. She was even able to handle our German shepherd that isn’t great with other dogs. She was fantastic and definitely will use her again! I definitely recommend Rachel to take care of your furbabies!”


“Breanna went above and beyond with our 8 week puppy. I look forward to the detailed reports and pictures. She responds quickly to questions. Our family plans on booking her for several months. We know our pup will be in good hands.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and did over night visits. For friends and family. I also have taken care of puppies that were 6 months. I’m currently working part time at Costco. I normally work night shift and have two days off. I could walk dogs in the morning or at night I normally feed them twice a day once in the morning and the other at night. I would walk them three or four times a day. I would then take them outside to either play or run around in a safe environment.

“Olivia was great! We went away for the weekend and took care of our cat for us. She made sure he was fed and watered and happy! Everything went great and I can’t thank Olivia enough!”


About: Experienced and compassionate, I am a dedicated animal sitter with a passion for providing exceptional care for pets. What sets me apart from other sitters is my specialized skill set, including training puppies and expertise in senior pet care. I excel in establishing a strong foundation for good behavior through puppy training techniques and providing gentle and attentive care for senior animals, managing medications and addressing mobility issues. With a personalized approach, I tailor care routines to meet the unique needs of each animal, ensuring their well-being and happiness. Additionally, I am skilled in understanding and interpreting animal behavior, enabling effective communication and building trust. With training in pet first aid and CPR, I am prepared to handle emergencies and prioritize the safety of all animals under my care. I still have school, so it honestly just depends on after 4. After 4 I’m free for the rest if the day, and i need something to do with the rest of my time, and given i have not much better to do i’d prefer to take care and watch over animals! When caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's residence, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for them. In my home, I provide a designated space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I ensure that this area is clean, secure, and equipped with the necessary essentials such as bedding, toys, and food/water bowls. Additionally, I maintain a regular feeding schedule to meet their dietary needs. Exercise and playtime are also integral parts of my care routine, as I engage pets in stimulating activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. If caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure to follow any specific instructions provided, replicating their familiar environment as closely as possible. I make it a point to provide ample affection, attention, and companionship to keep pets happy and emotionally fulfilled during my care sessions. Overall, my approach to pet care revolves around providing a nurturing and loving environment that meets the individual needs of each furry friend.

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 7 years old who recently passed away. I live with my parents who are also fellow animal lovers and love when I pet-sit for friends. It brings life and fun to our household to host your furry friends. I currently work part time waitressing a few nights a week nearby. I am off weekends so I have all that time carved out to take care of pets! I have an unfenced, medium sized open field directly across from my condominium building I can take your pet for potty breaks and play time. I can keep them leashed for their safety. My parents, who I live with, are fellow animal lovers who love spending time with animals. I have a lazy cat who spends most of the day sleeping, but he lives upstairs in our split unit with my parents. My unit is entirely separate from where he resides, so if your pet doesn’t like cats, it’s no problem!

“Autumn is great with our dog. Her rover cards are always on time and she is great with communicating and responds quickly. She goes above and beyond and brings in the mail and packages. It’s so nice knowing our dog is being taken good care of when we can’t take him with us. Highly recommend Autumn.”


“Tammy was amazing watching my two kitties 2x a day for a week! She fed and played with them and sent great pics and updates after each visit! Came home to two happy kitties and a clean house (and clean litter boxes!)”

About: Life is simply better with a dog by your side—especially a big one! As a lifelong dog advocate, I believe every pup deserves to feel as safe, happy, and loved with me as they do with you.

Flexible in such that I can arrange other duties around the needs of clientele. I will try my absolute best to mend any scheduling conflicts for last minute needs as well.

That said, I always prioritize the individual needs of each pet and family. After meeting you and your dog, we will decide together what works best, whether that is staying in their home or another arrangement. My goal is simple: your pet’s comfort and safety, no matter where that takes us!

“What do you call it when you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place? I wouldn’t know because Jessica made sure that wouldn’t happen. I was in desperate need of a cat sitter when I got called to a mandatory work trip spanning over a couple weeks. Cats take care of themselves for the most part but mine gets so lonely. Jessica made sure he was properly fed, litter box cleaned, and water bowl refreshed. She also sent me some videos of her playing with him, he looked so happy. I can’t thank her enough for the fast reply and doing such a swell job. I highly recommend her but not when I need her again lol. Good ones like this are hard to come by.”

Kimberly H.
“I had numerous dogs over the years and during that time Kim watched everyone. The dogs had a special bond with her. I had a Golden retriever, a black lab mutt and a jack russell beagle mix. Each dog needed different medications and different food amounts not to mention different walk times. She excelled with taking care of them. Now she continues to watch my new pack including the jack beagle mix. Thank you Kim”
