“Shana was fantastic with my dogs. She was very attentive to their behaviors and informed me every step along the way of each visit. She always showed up on time and gave love to each dog. Shana is an excellent sitter for your fur babies.”

About: I’m a dependable and attentive caregiver with experience caring for both my own pets and pets belonging to friends and family! I’ve provided pet sitting and drop-in care numerous times, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up after pets, playtime, and following their normal routines. I also have a healthcare and caregiving background, so I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and understand the importance of being reliable, observant, and respectful of someone’s home. I’ll always treat your pet and their space with the same care I would want for my own! 💜 I’m starting nursing school on October 12th and for that schedule I will be occupied Monday through Thursday from 8 AM–4 PM, but I’m available for quick drop-in visits and check-ins before or after class on those days. My weekends are much more flexible, making them great for house sitting, longer visits, and additional care. About once a month, I also have a Saturday clinical from around 6:30 AM–2 PM. Outside of those commitments, I’m happy to work with your cat’s normal routine and will always communicate my availability ahead of time! :) I’ll care for your cat in their own home where they’re most comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide for feeding, water, litter boxes, medication, playtime, and their usual routine. I’m comfortable cleaning up messes and keeping their space tidy, and I’ll always respect your home. I also understand that every cat has different boundaries, so I’ll let them approach and interact with me at their own pace. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can see how your cat is doing while you’re away!! :)
About: At the age of 6, I began to regularly foster newborn kittens with my mom along with taking care of cats in general around my town and fell in love with taking care of them and learning about them. I started to get little information books about cats and learn more about their mannerisms, etc. I'm currently a college student who runs a very small crochet business and all of my classes are online so my availability is definitely very open to be able to take care of your furry friend! I have always had a deep connection with animals ever since I was a kid. I grew up homeschooled and something that my mom had me do very young was fostering kittens and taking care of dogs that were lost or didn't have a home. We also would watch this series called, Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan and sometimes I would independently watch episodes of My Cat from Hell on YouTube. Something that I noticed when watching these shows is that the animal is typically never actually misbehaved but instead misunderstood. I feel as if being a good sitter is being empathic to every single animal and listening to their wants and needs and although there is a small language barrier, it is important to know that they are always communicating with us. There are very subtle movements that can portray whether an animal is having fun, hungry, distressed, etc. and that's something that I always try to pay attention to with animals to make sure that they feel safe and content. I believe leading with your intuition is something that you must do and to tell whether an animal wants enrichment or to relax. I will always strive to provide a safe and most comfortable environment for them. Also, I definitely understand the fear of allowing someone to watch your pet (I've definitely felt that way when leaving on vacation for my cats) and I want to give you everything that I expect from a sitter. I will be sure to give photo updates, and respect routines that have been established.
“I used Rover for the first time and I couldn’t be happier. In particular, I believe I got the best pet/house sitter in the business. Remy took care of our kitty Mosby 2x/day for 2 weeks - Mosby is very shy around new people, but after the first two days she and Remy were best friends. Remy reported everyday what she did, she also took care of our outside plants. And she sent pictures of our Mosby every day. We could see Mosby was very relaxed and happy. She even took the time to walk Mosby on her harness, which can be very boring. When we got back home it looked like we’d never left. And rather than picking up a stressed cat from a boarding place, our Mosby sauntered up to us like, “Oh, you’ve returned.” Can’t thank you enough, Remy. 10 stars if I could give them. Highly recommend Remy, without reservation.”
“Amy was wonderful with our sweet kitties. She was very thorough and attentive while we were away- and did not hesitate to reach out for clarification when it was needed- which I loved! The kitties were happy and healthy when we arrived home. Such a gift! Thanks, Amy!”

“Isabel is an incredible pet sitter! She was able to take care of my cats at the last minute and would send regular updates about how they were doing throughout the trip! I will be using her in the future!”
About: I’ve been raised around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for them in every stage — from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Having supported my own dogs through their later years, I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 2:30 PM, which means I’m available for early morning visits before work and have my full afternoons and evenings open for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Because I’m off mid-afternoon, your pet won’t be waiting all day for attention. I’m able to give them consistent, reliable care and quality time — whether that’s a calm check-in, an energetic walk, or simply extra cuddles to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I will always care for your pet the way you feel most comfortable, especially in your own home. I carefully follow any instructions you leave — from feeding routines and medications to favorite toys and bedtime habits — because I know how important consistency is for their comfort and your peace of mind. If they stay in my home, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, loving environment alongside my two pets. They’ll have access to a fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore and enjoy fresh air. I’m able to separate from my cat if needed to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. While I’m not able to separate from my dog, he is well-socialized and used to being around other animals. My goal is always to create a safe, warm space where your pet feels cared for, understood, and at home.

When someone trusts me with their pet, I want them to feel confident knowing their baby is being cared for with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own.
