“Rachel was very sweet and professional! She sent pics and played with my pup! She spent the whole hour keeping my pup company and getting out some energy! Will be booking again! Thank you Rachel!”


“Erik is excellant with Laila and there are not many people that Laila would allow to give her a belloy rub. Not ony is it apparent that Erik is great and caring with dogs and all animals alike, Erik also has full command of Laila during her walk, which is important when you have a 70 pound Bulldog.”


“Maritza was great with my cat, Riley. She took time to meet Riley and get an idea of her daily routine. She provided daily updates with tons of photos and videos and a description of how Riley was during each visit. Maritza was very respectful throughout the process and provided me with a sense of ease knowing my cat was in good hands while I was away. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting services! Thank you!”


“Lacey was awesome with my two cats. They can be slow to warm up to people, but they loved her immediately! She sent me lots of pictures while I was away and made sure that I knew that my cats were well taken care of and loved.”


“Jenna was a great choice for our first time trying Rover! She cared for our cat like it was her own. She communicated well and checked in often. Would definitely book again!”


About: With over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I’m passionate about providing the best care for your furry friends. I specialize in dog walking and sitting, ensuring your pets are happy, healthy, and well-exercised. Whether it’s a daily walk or overnight care, I’m committed to creating a safe and enjoyable experience for your pets. Let me give your pets the love and attention they deserve while you're away! I’m currently on summer vacation from being a teachers assistant at an elementary school! While working to finish my teaching degree, I figured I would help others take care of their animals! I’m free most days and nights just need a days notice. My pup Charles is older now so he does not do too many activities anymore. But before that I loved taking him on long walks and playing with his toys. As for taking care of pets in your house, your house your rules! Flexible and willing to leave what’s best for each animal.


“Jordan is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!! I will always use her anytime I need someone to watch or play with my fur baby!! Thank you Jordan for going above and beyond !!”


About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds throughout the last 10 years. Friends and family have relied on me to walk them, feed them, and provide any other care needed! I’m a teacher on summer break and have plenty of time to care for your pet. Will be available most weekdays and weekends to attend to your pups. I will treat your pet as my own, providing extra love and care as needed, as well as treating your space as my own and making sure all feel safe and comfortable.

“Leah was fantastic! Took great care of our two kitties, even tracking them down when they were shy/hiding. She gave us great peace of mind while on vacation.”


“We could not be happier with Paul's care for our dog. We'll back.”


About: I’ve been caring for animals since I could walk, literally. I grew up surrounded by pets on a small family homestead, we're talking dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, and the occasional bottle-fed goat among so many others I lost count. Now 28, I bring that same lifelong experience, calm energy, and deep love for animals into every pet-sitting job I take on. Whether your pup needs a long walk, your cat needs quiet company, or your senior pet needs gentle care, I’m here to help. I’m confident handling animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and kind. I treat your pets like they’re my own. Let me know how I can support your pet’s routine while you’re away! I work weekends in the hospitality industry, which gives me a lot of flexible time during the week to focus on my writing. Pet care fits in perfectly—I love having walking buddies and a reason to step away from the page and get outside. Whether it’s a midday walk or a quiet home visit, I enjoy building routine and connection with the animals I care for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’ve worked with animals my whole life—on a farm and in private homes—which means I’m confident handling different energy levels, temperaments, and situations. I’m attentive on walks, avoid unsafe areas or off-leash encounters (unless discussed), and always keep water and waste bags on hand. During home visits, I follow your instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, medications, or just quiet companionship. I respect your space, lock up carefully, and keep you updated with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. My calm energy helps animals feel safe—and I treat them like they’re part of the family.

“Loren gave us such peace of mind and sent us so many updates and photos and videos. She was so attentive to our cats and took the time to let our shy cat get used to her. She is amazing with animals and I would totally rebook Loren again in the future! I would recommend her services highly🐾☺️”


“I’m so grateful for Emily; she took great care of my cat Babushka. She gave clear and direct communication and listened attentively. I’d definitely hire her again!”


About: As a part-time nanny and full-time mom to two energetic boys and two lovable pups, caring for others comes naturally to me. I understand firsthand how stressful it can be to find trustworthy, responsible care for your furry family members—I’ve been there myself! I’m here to provide peace of mind and loving care when you need it most. In addition to regular pet care services, I’m also available during long weekends and vacations—those times when finding dependable care can feel especially stressful. Whether you need help in the early morning, late at night, or even overnight, I’m here to make sure your fur babies are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I prefer to care for your fur baby in the comfort of their own home, where they feel most secure and relaxed. However, I’m always open to discussing other options if needed.

About: Hi there, my name is Erin! I’m a certified animal lover. I’ve been around animals all my life. I grew up with dogs and cats (as well as fish, lizards and turtles)! My husband and I currently have two dogs. I work remotely and have a flexible work schedule. Since I work remotely, pet sitting is a great excuse to get out of the house and have a lounging and cuddling up with them! I know when I’m in need of a dog sitter, it’s important to feel that your dog/cat is with someone experienced and that you can trust. With me, you can rest assured knowing your loved one is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend!! I work from home. Taking care of dogs and cats fits easily into my daily schedule.

If I’m in their space I respect their home as I would for human and human there.
