“Thank you Savannah!! The pups and house looked great. Zorra and Pickles said they had a really fun time with you today, and can’t wait for the next time you come to play! Thanks again!🌟”

“Cilyr was attentive to the needs of my cats, willing to clean up after them more than I had asked, and careful not to stress them out more than needed. Sge also made a clear attempt to play and interact with each. Overall very effective, even if my cats were too shy to engage much.”

“Pamela was very responsive and friendly! She came over beforehand for a meet and greet. She also sent a nice summary and pictures each day. I would highly recommend her!”

“Rose was able to stop by and check in on my dog even at a very last minute request! She did an amazing job taking care of my dog and had good communication with me. Definitely would book her again in the future!”

“I had a great experience with Taryn. She stopped by to check on my 2 kitties daily for 10 days and kindly followed the overly-detailed feeding instructions I left her. :) I also appreciated the 2-3 pics she'd send each day on the Rover card. She is friendly, responsive, easy to work with, and I would book with her again.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience as a dedicated dog foster. I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Fostering has taught me how to read dog body language, build trust quickly, and create a calm, loving environment where every pup feels safe and cared for. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just some extra snuggles, I treat every dog like they're my own. Dog care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and live an active lifestyle. I’m able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day, with regular walks, playtime, and potty breaks. Whether it’s a quick cuddle or an afternoon stroll, your pup will be part of my everyday rhythm. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. In my home, pets have a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of attention and supervised play. In client homes, I treat their space with respect and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure while sticking to their normal routine.
About: I have both a cat and dog at my home which I take care of. I also have both watched cats and dog sat for families in my area. I’m currently available after 5 pm Mon-Thursday after 3 on Fridays and anytime during the weekend! I have some midday availability sometimes as well, we can chat more about this. I am happy to follow a list you leave behind in order to care for your animal! It’s important for me to know what your animal likes and doesn’t like!
About: I have had one dog for 4+ years, and another dog for 2+. I have dedicated a lot of my life since getting my two dogs as far as training them, taking them on long walks, playing with them, and most importantly, loving them and giving them all the attention they need and deserve. I have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of dogs because I currently do not have another job! I prefer to work early in the morning/afternoon. At my home, there is a lot of space for my doggies to run around because there is a park right outside my door which is great! They also have their own play space inside.
About: I've always loved animals. I've helped to walk my families dogs since I was a kid and have always loved hanging out with furry friends. I currently work a full time job but have the weekends free to spend lots of time with your pet. I also have plenty of time on weeknights to still give your baby some love. Keeping your pet feeling comfortable and safe in their home with a new person is extremely important. I seek to provide a stable, as close to normal routine for your pet while you're away.
“Marjorie took such great care of my 2 black labs, she played with them and sent me photos of all the fun activity. Highly recommend booking Marjorie for your next dog sitting needs.”

“Hillary did an awesome job checking in on my cats while we were away for a few days. They are both very shy, but she got them to come out the first day she fed them!”

“Jayde did drop-in-visits for our cat for the first time when we were gone on vacation this month. We highly recommend her and plan to see if she is available whenever we are away in the future. She sent us very detailed Rover cards with pictures each day (and even some videos)! Our cat takes a little while to warm up, but then was greeting her at the door, sitting by her and purring after that. We felt so good knowing that she was in very good hands while we were away!”

About: My name is Jake and I want to be your dog’s second favorite person (behind you of course). I grew up with dogs, cats, chickens, turtles, snakes, and fish, so I know my way around responsible pet ownership. I have bottle fed kittens, managed puppies, and even sat for a house-trained rabbit. I’m a Masters student so my schedule is flexible and I’m dog and cat deprived so I’ll give your pets all the love! I am a Masters student with a very flexible schedule. I’m happy to do drop-ins, walks, or house sit any day of the week. Let’s get in touch! I love all dogs and cats and will provide any care you need me to for your pups and cats! Unfortunately due allergies in my family I can’t board, but am happy to do drop-ins, walks or house sit. Whether you have a puppy or senior dog that needs special attention, or a dog or cat that just wants to play, you can count on me to entertain them and keep them safe.
About: I’ve always been passionate about animal welfare and care. There has never been a time I have not owned animals and currently has 4 cats and 1 dog. My experience stretches further as I have experience with anywhere from small animals such as chinchillas and guinea pigs to horses and previously working as a vet managing 90 baby deer. I share a lot of love and attention with my animals and would be happy to share that time and dedication with yours! I have a full time career in Human Resources for a large local employer where I work remote which has allowed me to have so many of my own fur babies! I am pretty flexible and wouldn’t accept a job where I couldn’t meet your animals needs. I have four cats that are well adjusted to dogs (including my neighbors 90 lb golden retriever) and a very social dog that my husband takes to the dog park 4 days a week. I also don’t mind staying at other persons homes as I have before with our neighbors and friends. You can expect that I will always treat your home and privacy with the utmost respect—just as I would want someone to do in my own home. If you have specific rules or instructions, you can count on me to follow them carefully and consistently.
“Laura again took excellent drop in care for our senior kitty, Sophie. Laura was even able to gain her trust and Sophie welcomed her petting after a couple of visits! Sophie is extremely shy with most people!”

About: I’ve worked at Feeder’s Supply, where I cared for a variety of animals and regularly bathed dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My experience there helped me build strong skills in animal handling and care. I’ve also owned many types of pets over the years and currently have two cats of my own. Whether it’s feeding, walking, bathing, or just giving them love and attention, I’m passionate about making sure every animal feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently spend most of my time caring for my daughter and cats, but am looking to share my love with other animals in need of care while their parents are busy! This can include regular services Monday to Saturday between 8:15 am and 4:45 pm; if you need something outside of this, message me and we’ll see what we can work out! For dogs, any equipment must be provided by you to ensure I am using leashes, toys, etc. that fit your pet and they are comfortable with. For cats, I can provide a cat harness or stroller to take them outside in a controlled environment for extra enrichment. I also have a set of cat toys to bring if needed.
About: I live with my husband on 5 acres of land. A large back yard portion is fully fenced and has Dog doors for easy access and play. Our home was built with dogs safety and fun in mind! I have had dogs of all sizes my whole life and they are family! I currently have 2 smaller dogs. A Chihuahua mixes and a dachshund. We have taken in and cared for other pets their whole lives so they are very comfortable sharing their space. I've spent the last 15 years employed at a local Veterinary clinic where I have gained experience in all areas of pet Care. I have recently retired and my husband is retired which gives us the freedom to be available at home to be with your pets. I am home full time and my husband is retired so care is available all of the time. We specialize in geriatric dogs and offer care as needed Our home is set up for ease of care for elderly dogs. They can get in and out with one small ramp. Ramps are set up around the home as needed. Part of our large yard stays plowed and open during the winter months for small dogs.
