“Maelee took wonderful care of my cat Darcy. She sent lots of photos and a really detailed description of her drop-in, which made me feel so comfortable knowing Darcy was so well cared for! I had to change my trip and she was quick to respond and help me out. Thank you, Maelee!”
“Kelsey took such good care of my cat while we were away! She was able to get our shy little cat to come out of her shell and live her best life! I’ll definitely be looking for Kelsey again if I need to re-book.”
About: I’ve had pets all my life, with experience caring for dogs of many different sizes and breeds. While taking care of your pet I will make them feel at home, maintain their routine with them and give plenty of attention. Pet care is vital in my house. With 3 animals to take care of, I have daily routines set in place in order to ensure my pets are well taken care of. We have a fenced in yard and space to run around, and a quiet, no-outlet neighborhood with no drive-thru traffic for walks. There is a dog bed for sleeping and a crate if needed.
“OMG! Jaqelynn is THE BEST! We were out of town for an extended period of time and Jaqelynn made sure our little kitty was well cared for. We will DEFINITELY hire her again in the future. 🩷”
“This was my first time using Rover and Kaitlyn was so patient with me. She was so nice and gave both of my cats lots of love for me. Highly recommend her for any pet needs while you’re away!”
“Ty stayed at our house for 10 nights and watched our 2 cats. He was absolutely amazing! I could tell he spent a lot of time with them because he knew so many of their likes and dislikes. He sent me pics every day and was always willing to share stories when I was missing them. He was very respectful of our home and kept things tidy! We will definitely be using him whenever we go away in the future!”
“Alaina was amazing! She clearly cares about animals & made me feel so comfortable leaving my 2 cats with her. She took the best photos & gave amazing updates! Thank you!!”
“Abby made our family feel so at ease while gone for over a week. She is amazing and took so many photos of our kitty and it truly felt she enjoyed being with her. I would highly recommend Abby! 10/10.”
“Holly did such a great job with our two older cats! It was so reassuring to receive her notes and pictures from each visit while we were on vacation. She is very reliable with great attention to detail. We will definitely use her services again in the future. Thank you Holly!”
About: We absolutely love dogs, and not just our human family, our Samoyed Luna loves making new friends! With our large fenced yard, let your dog(s) run and play while you’re away! No young kiddos at home, but we do have two boys ages 12 & 13. Need a walk?! We average 4-8 miles a day (Samoyeds are busy dogs with lots of energy!). Happy to take your dog along on the walk! Your dog will have access to the outdoors frequently (large acre fenced), or can hang out inside if they prefer. I can work around your home routine so your dog has an amazing time at his home away from home! Not boarding and just need walks?! Fill me in on your typical route and I’ll do my best to follow that. Don’t have one?! No problem! With so many trails around the area, we’re sure to find a great route! Our current dog, Luna, is not crated but we are open to crating your dog (or having an accessible crate available) if that is your home routine. With our large yard, the dogs will run and play throughout the day.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a kid, helping friends, family, and neighbors with everything from walking and feeding to playtime and grooming. Over the past few years, I’ve gained more professional experience by pet sitting regularly and handling animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable giving medications, following special routines, and providing lots of love and attention. I also have a cat of my own named Charlie, so I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member—I treat every pet like they’re my own. Right now until school starts my availability is completely open just get with me and I should be able to watch your loved ones at any time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my client’s home, I follow their routine closely—feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I keep the home tidy, give updates and photos, and make sure pets get plenty of attention. If I’m watching a pet in my own home, I provide a calm, clean space with lots of love, toys, and a cozy place to rest. I treat every animal with patience and care, just like I do with my own cat, Charlie.
About: I have years of experience caring for animals, from dogs to cats & rabbits. Pet care is an area that I am thrilled to be now pursuing on a higher level. Animals have captured my heart for years, and this is something that will not change now or in the future. I am someone who pays attention to details and always has animal welfare at the forefront of my mind. I do not doubt that I am someone to be trusted with your animals. I look forward to potentially working with you! I am fortunate in that I have a fairly flexible routine currently. This allows for pet care jobs and responsibilities to be easier to take on. I am happy to watch your animals in your home if all checks out. What might it look like? I could stop by once or twice a day (‘depending) to make sure your pet(s) are well and everything is running smoothly. For example, I just wrapped up pet sitting for someone I know in the area & she gave me a spare key for her place. This is just what made sense & what she was comfortable with at the time. She left some realistic instructions for me & all went well. It was a win-win situation. You just need help with dog walking? I am happy to consider that as well!
“Valaria took care of my two cats for few days which included special feedings and giving prednisone to one of the cat's food. She played with them and petted them. She got my mail and sent me pictures of my cats each day along with an update. I highly recommend her services.”
About: I’m an active mom who loves animals - I have a golden retriever who is 1.5 years old, so I am right in the middle of raising a dog! I believe that a healthy dog needs mental stimulation, exercise and snuggles! I’m currently working part-time as a substitute in childcare, so I’d love to add dog walking or care to my days! I am happy to spend time with dogs so that their parents can feel confident that they are cared for while they are away! I have a 1.5 year old golden retriever who LOVES other dogs, I also have two cats who tolerate him. I’d prefer to care for pets on their own home or on walks.
“Nishtha is always kind and responsive. Both of my kitties love her and when I get home they are calm and happy. In Nishtha's care, they dont miss me at all! Which is what you hope for (I guess).”

Graycie S.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Graycie! She took care of both our dog and our cat while we were away, and they absolutely loved her. She gave our dog plenty of exercise and playtime, and made sure our cat got all the cuddles (on her terms, of course!). She kept us updated the whole time and left everything spotless. We felt so at ease knowing our pets were in such caring hands!”

Jessica E.
“I've known Jessica for 10 years, and if there's anything that lights her up, it's her pets. One of her pets she's diligently cared for since before I knew her, and the other two she took over the care of them because others wouldn't. She values respect of both animals and people, so I believe she'll be great to work with and honor your home and your animals as well.”
