“We had a fantastic experience with Chelsey! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my cat Fauna. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while away for the holidays. Fauna was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. I appreciate Chelsey’s attention, kindness, and professionalism, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, my dogs are my babies and I would treat yours the same. Fully fenced in yard to play fetch in and run around I’m currently a stay at home dog dad so they will never be left alone, always ready to take outside and let play with toys. I let my dogs out every couple of hours, always have food available for them and take them outside to play fetch whenever the weather permits

“This was Kristen’s second time checking in on my cats for a weekend, and again I am very grateful for her care and communication! She helped me feel settled that my cats were doing well, asked helpful clarifying questions, and was super responsive to everything I asked. Don’t hesitate to ask Kristen to look after your pets! 🥰”

About: I've grown up with all kinds of animals, from hamsters to horses and especially have never lived anywhere without dogs or cats. I have years of farm and pet sitting experience and am comfortable with all animals. I'm a super active person and I love being outside with pets, playing with them or going for walks. I have a very flexible schedule allowing me to spend as much time with them as possible. I'm currently working from home and have complete flexibility on time, so I can spend as much time as possible with animals during a sit. I'm very active and I walk, run, and/or hike every day, so I love being able to take dogs along with me on adventures, but I can also dedicate time to hanging out in a home. With such a flexible schedule, I can work with the needs of every different pet. I have a flexible routine and can adapt to different needs. I enjoy being on the go and will happily take pets out on adventures with me, but I can also appreciate staying in and having a relaxing day with a pet!
About: As a pet owner (cats, dogs and hamsters), I am offering the same care I looked for when I had pet sitting needs—dependability and love for pets. I work full time remotely so I’m flexible during the week. I do travel with my job and many of my weekends are full. I will keep my schedule updated so times are known when I can help. I am willing to watch your dog or cat at your house. I currently have a friendly cat but he doesn’t understand not all dogs love him. If I watch your dog at my house, the dog would need to meet my cat first to make sure they are ok. I do have a fenced in yard.

“Kelli is always amazing. She takes great care of my two elderly dogs and loves them like they're her own. I highly recommend her. She's absolutely wonderful and so knowledgeable.”

“Izabella was so great with coco. I had a last minute request when her longtime caregiver could no longer care for her. I had set up care through another person on rover and they cancelled which left me just two days to find someone. Izabella sent me her work hours so I could coordinate drop ins and walks to work with cocos schedule. She came the next day for a meet and greet. While I was away she gave great photos and updates. She even offered to take out the trash and put some salt down. She offered an additional check in if needed the day we were coming back which was wonderful since our plane got delayed. Would definitely recommend her!”

About: Hey there! My name's Graham and I couldn't be more excited for the opportunity to care for your pets! I've grown up with pets my whole life! From many dogs, a cat, a bird, to even a bearded dragon, I've loved helping my family care for our pets! Now, I'm ready to help you continue to take care of yours! I'm currently a medical assistant and will be attending Physician Assistant school later this year and I'm excited to use this as an opportunity to save some money before starting school in the fall!

About: Currently I own 10 cats, 1 dog, and a pet rat business (Rem’s Rattery). I have experience with dog training, walking, engaging behaviors, socialization, puppy manners, and exercise. I have self trained my service dog and am mentored by Super Powers Canine Academy (SD recently washed from service due to leg pain). My husband will be in the home at the time of in-home services has hands on experience at shelters and vet care for various animals, but mainly cats and dogs.

“Gabby is a fantastic sitter, my boy Deke is always shy when he meets new people but immediately took to Gabby which goes to show how amazing she is with animals. She has timely communication and gives my deke all the love and play during her visit! It’s such a weight off my shoulders knowing Gabby is stopping in to spend time with him!”

About: I have loved animals (specifically dogs and cats) all my life to the point where I wanted to be a Veterinarian up until I was in college. I previously was involved in some classes where we worked with animals hands on and even shadowed a couple Veterinarians while in the office and home visits, prior to changing my major! I had a German Shepherd for 11 years but he recently passed in December so, I have much love to show your fur babies! I’d even be willing to try and teach them some commands here and there if you and time allow me to do so! Fun Fact: As a young child, I was never afraid of dogs but was terrified severely of vacuum cleaners. I am currently looking to only work part-time so I can care for animals the rest of the time! I am currently full time but I am available after 5:30 daily! I currently do not offer services out of my home due to space. My roommate also has allergies so I can only bring hypoallergenic pets around her. I'd love to take care of your fur baby in the home they are comfortable in!
“Camrynn did a great job with Gator, she came when she said she would did everything as promised and I couldn't be happier. I will definitely book her again in the future.”

“Lexie was amazing! Super communication and was always on time to the requested stop-ins. You could tell how much Lexie truly cared for our dog and I was so pleased to leave our dogs care in her hands. I loved all the report cards and pictures as well! We will definitely be rebooking with Lexie in the future when needed.”

About: Hi I’m Brody, and I am 18 years old. I have two wonderful French bulldogs and a German Shepherd myself, so I’m not a stranger of taking care of dogs. I have built very strong connections with all of them, as I’m looking for with your dog as well. I give them walks very often so I’m well aware of what a dog likes and does during a walk. I guarantee your dog will have a joyful experience. I am working full-time during the summer. I might be booked up with other appointments, but I’m still pretty flexible with times and can move things around, so it can fit with your needs. I always wash my hands in between appointment so I don’t carry over any triggers that might alarm your dog and keep your dog clean and safe. At home, I always look to give my dogs attention and play with them in my yard for good exercise. If there is any specific instructions that you want for your dog's best experience, I would be happy to do so.
