“This was our first time having someone we didn’t know watch our pups. Elizabeth put our minds at ease so we could enjoy some time away by how professional, caring, and thorough she was with the dogs. She kept up up to date, but wasn’t over the top about it at all, and walked, played with, and fed them on time every day. We could not have been happier and will definitely use her again!”


“I alway am anxious when i have to leave my dog at home. Not this time. Deja was the absolute best. She kept us informed, sent pics, gave our pup lots of love, walks…. He was a lucky pup and so were we. Thank you so much Deja.”


“I can’t begin to share how reliable and helpful Alicia was. This was a last minute house sitting for our pup and she was so helpful and kind. She’s walked her often and sent us pictures and even helped us take our trash out while we were out even though she didn’t have to. She’s a true gem and we cannot recommend her enough!”


“Good communication with Nikki, the house was neat & clean & Daisy well cared for with regular photos and updates. Only issue was our automatic lid opener on our trash can was somwehow not working properly when we returned.”


“Carla was very sweet to our pups and is a very sweet person in general. She came and left just when she said she would and sent us updates and was very responsive when we messaged and checked in. One of our pups had an accident in their bed and she washed and dried their blankets! Our home was left like she was never even here. We’d happily book with Carla again! Thank you so much for taking care of our fur babies Carla!”


“Makaila did a great job house sitting for us while we were out of town. Her communication was wonderful right from the start of the booking. She connected very quickly with our animals. This was our first time using rover and she made us feel much more comfortable. Our animals were well taken care of. We would definitely hire Makaila again in the future when we go out of town. Thanks again, Makaila for giving our fur babies the love they needed while we were gone!”


“Tammy is absolutely amazing. !!! If I could give more stars I would. My mother just recently passed away and Rocco has always had someone with him 24/7 I was nervous to leave him , but she was beyond exceptional in every way ! I received pics, of him happy and lounging , walking. Whenever I messaged prompt response. I felt very at ease !! I highly recommend and appreciate her attention to detail with my little guy. Thank you so much Tammy ! I will book many times in the future”


About: Hi there! I would love to provide a clean and home-like environment for your pets. I have over 25 years of caring for all types of animals. Available for boarding dogs and cats, house sitting(I’m unable to accommodate staying overnights), and drop-ins! Your pets will feel right at home in my care with all the attention and love they deserve! I am super fun to be around and I'm very active so your pet won't be bored or ever feel alone. I live on an acre with lots of open space for walks and playtime. I am currently not working so my schedule is very flexible. Pet care is built into my daily routine—it’s a priority, not a task. From morning walks to evening feedings and playtime, I schedule my day around each pet’s individual needs to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether in my home or a client’s, I provide consistent, personalized care. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed—while keeping their environment clean, safe, and stress-free. My goal is to make them feel as comfortable and loved as they do with their own family.

“Bethany is an amazing sitter. She sat for my dog that was recovering from an injury and wearing a cone. She had to give her medicine and keep her comfortable. My dog is picky about who she feels comfortable with but she liked Bethany! She is also very conscientious, punctual, and just really nice! I highly recommend her and will use her again.”


About: I spent over 10 years taking care of my best friend, Rudy, before he crossed the rainbow bridge. Now I spend my time surrounding myself with animals, and surrounding animals with love and companionship while their humans are away. I work part-time at the moment, working mainly mid-mornings into early afternoons. I am available for afternoon walks and feedings as well as overnight stays and/or morning duty. I am willing to work with your pet in your home! Your fur babies can stay put in the space they feel most comfortable in and get the care and companionship they deserve. I can do feedings, walks, playtime, crating, and anything else your pooch may need!

“Everything seemed to have gone well. Whitney met us in person before sitting for Marlin and came again the day prior to make sure she had all the information needed and to get a lay of the land. She sent photos of marlin. Although we did not set expectations prior, in the future we would like more frequent updates. We would hire her again.”


About: I have worked with dogs for about 6 years now and love dog sitting for families. I am a reliable sitter and will take the extra time to make sure your dogs are comfortable and safe. I have experience with administering medication and help calm the animals during loud noises(fireworks) and thunderstorms. I absolutely love dogs and would love to help your furry friends be comfortable while you’re away! I have pretty open availability during the summer and am available for multiple night dog sitting sessions. I would love to spend some of my free time with your furry babies! While dog sitting, I like to spend time outside with the animals and let them exercise. I love to snuggle up with them and take them on walks. I am also able to aid in lifting senior dogs onto couches and beds. weight limit for lifting: 115 lbs.

About: I raised two of my family's three cats mainly by myself, providing for them on my own. I am the main one in my house to go to for calming down our dog or mediate any situation concerning our animals. I have also trained one of my cats to close doors as well as another to give kisses (head bumping to persed lips of course). I have been asked to dog-sit and house sit by family before and they were very pleased with how their house was left, saying it was very neat and they were impressed. I am currently working part-time, mostly on weekends, and will be a full-time student starting August 25th, but I do have a relatively light schedule every Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and still have some availability Tuesdays and Thursdays. In my home, I mainly take care of my cats rather than our dog, but I'm usually the one home during the day so I handle all of our pets. I have a specified diet for each of my cats, slightly varying depending on what they enjoy eating. I feed our dog wet food around 4:45pm and our cats wet food around 5:00pm. In the mornings I feed my cats wet food when I wake up and there is always dry cat and dog food out. I scoop litter once a day and change it whenever it is apparent I need to do so. When taking care of other people's pets and homes, as long as there is a list of things I need to do or a schedule of some sort, as well as an emergency number, vet number, and/or other emergency contacts, I will follow whatever rules are laid out as long as they don't put me, my animals, your home/ animals, or anyone's loved ones in any danger.

“If I could give Jim 10 stars, I would. We were in a pinch and our normal house sitter was unable to watch our dogs. We took our little one with us but our 2 yr old GSD needed a friend. He stepped right up and offered his weekend. Not only did he spend most of the day with her but he gave her lots of walks, playtime in the yard and love. She is a nervous dog and requires alot of patience and stimulation. She has never been without her little buddy either. Jim truly cares about the animals he signs up for. He gave me lots of updates, took pics/videos and asked questions. We would recommend him to anyone! Worth every penny.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a little over 5 years. I have my current dog and dog sat for family and friends.

If you were to book with me, I’d make sure I didn’t have work the nights you are booking with me. My schedule is flexible. I care for your pets like my own and my goodness my dog is spoiled. Dogs at my house are allowed on all furniture, negate tables, and will be treated like they are my own.

I gave her all the directions for watching my dogs, and she followed them exactly and if she had any questions, she would ask before going forward so I felt very comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands.”
