“This was my first experience using Rover and Jacqueline & Uriel were wonderful! I loved the updates they sent when checking in on my cat Pumpkin. They successfully administered her asthma inhaler twice a day while I was out of the state. The communication and professionalism they both displayed was very much appreciated. My cat Pumpkin loved their pets and playtime visits!”
“This is the 4th time we have used Carolyn to help care for Clove on long days we have been away from her. When I booked this visit it was kinda last minute to schedule. Carolyn was so accommodating. You can tell how much she loves animals. Carolyn is so amazing making sure Clove is well taken care of on her walks and before she leaves the house, making sure Clove has plenty of water and food.”
“We’ve been using Doug as a pet sitter for a while now, and we highly recommend him. Doug is not only reliable but also genuinely enthusiastic about caring for our cats. We never have to worry about anything when they’re in his care. He ensures they get plenty of attention, including playtime and cuddles, which helps keep them happy while we’re away. Our cats require daily medication, and Doug handles this with ease, showing he’s comfortable with more complex care needs. I highly recommend his services to anyone—your pets will be in excellent hands, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing they’re well cared for.”

“We were so lucky to find Kaitlyn! She responded quickly and was able to take on the job with very short notice, which we really appreciated. From the start, her communication was incredible—she sent detailed updates every visit along with adorable photos and videos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Not only did she take great care of our cats, but she also went above and beyond by bringing in our packages and even cleaning up without us asking. It’s rare to find someone so thoughtful and thorough. We’ll absolutely be using Kaitlyn again and couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by puppies, kittens, and all kinds of animals. I was there when my first dog gave birth and helped raise the puppies, learning how to train them along the way. This past year, I’ve cared for my senior dog when she had trouble walking and caregiving. I’ve also had the pleasure of walking and caring for dogs of all sizes for several families. With my lifelong experience with dogs and cats, I know exactly how to make sure your pet gets the best care! I currently have two dogs of my own and absolutely love spending time with them!! They are my babies I am available for pet care during the evenings and early mornings, and I’m also available on weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) for dog walks or weekend dog sitting. I take care of pets in a cozy, safe space. I make sure they get their walks, playtime, and plenty of love. I stick to their feeding schedule and keep things clean—making sure they have their favorite toys around and giving them the love and attention that they need! When I’m at your place, I follow your pet’s routine to keep things as normal as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I’ll also make sure the place stays clean and tidy, and your pet gets all the attention they need while you’re away!

I love animals and would love to care for yours :) I have a hybrid position at work, so I am in-office 3 days a week, but I have time outside of that to care for any animals that need it!

I love training my dog Sunny to do cool tricks. I care for my sisters Maine Coon and tabby cat and my other sisters horses when they're away.

“I can't recommend Holly enough! She is absolutely the best with my little dog, Max. From the very first moment, it was clear that she treats him like her own. Max immediately became a part of her family, and I could see how much care and attention she gave him. Whether it was going on walks, playing his favorite games, or just cuddling on the couch, Holly always made sure he was comfortable and happy. It's such a relief knowing that Max is in such loving hands when I’m away. Holly’s genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does, and I truly feel like he’s not just being cared for, but also loved and cherished.

“I had the pleasure of working with Liz for several years in dog rescue, and she was absolutely incredible with the dogs. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure they were well cared for—walking them multiple times a day and showering them with love and affection. Every dog that came into the shelter received unconditional love from Liz, and it was truly a joy to work alongside her. Liz has also cared for my personal dogs during both short day trips and extended vacations. She followed my instructions to the letter and made sure my pets were safe, happy, and loved in my absence. Liz is one of the few people I completely trust with my dogs. She is loving, trustworthy, and exceptionally reliable.”

Shiloh C.
“So I have known Shiloh for a few years now and she has watched my dogs as well. She takes great care of them, walks, them and makes sure they are fed and played with. She always made sure they had all the fun and were kept safe. I would completely recommend her in any way shape or form to take care of, walk and dog sit my dogs and others. She’s sweet, soft and cuddly with the animals and makes sure they’re fed on time and if they have health issues, made sure the dogs took what they needed. Please give her a try and you will be satisfied just like I was!”
