Megan is just the absolute best. She goes above and beyond every time she’s here, so we come home to a sparkling clean house and well cared for babies. Highly recommend! She is officially our go-to sitter as long as she’ll have us!

Gemma took great care of both of our large dogs. She stayed at our house for two nights, played with the pups until they were wore out and gave us frequent pupdates. She also cares for other animals as she took care of our conure. She left the house spotless and was very pleasant to deal with.

Kelly was very easy to work with and we trusted her to stay at our house for over a week to take care of our two dogs. She followed the instructions we provided and took especially good care of our 25 year old dog who is on seizure medication. We will definitely use her services again the next time we have the need for a dog sitter. Thank you Kelly!

Riley was a blessing to our house. Theo and Daisy love her. It was wonderful to see my fur babies go to her and be so relaxed. Taking such good care of them, while staying in their environment to help them feel more at ease. They had just gone through a move and being home was important to their wellbeing. Thank you so much for alleviating so much stress from me plate. We look forward to our next vacation, knowing you are their special person.

About: I have had between 2-4 animals in my house since I was a kid. I have been pet sitting animals from kittens/puppies all the way up to 16 years old for the past 4 years consistently. I am good with helping animals take their meds and will interact with animals at their pace. I am currently working a part time job and starting full online classes so I can get my masters. This means that I will be free most of the time and will be able to make my schedule fit around my clients needs. In my clients home I will make sure to follow instructions given to me, ensuring I am familiar with all details to give the animals the best care. I will take any animals that enjoy walks for those in the area or to a park if they need to get energy out, play with them outside, or play with them inside. I follow a routine for feeding and for any meds they might have to take, while also checking to make sure they have full and clean water daily. If I am cat sitting I will make sure to check and scoop the litter daily as well if needed.

About: I have experience caring for high-energy dogs, including golden retrievers, managing multiple pets, and handling routines calmly. My experience with young children has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and reliability as a sitter. Caring for pets is part of my daily routine. I schedule regular walks, playtime, feeding, and attention, ensuring dogs stay active, happy, and well-cared for while I work remotely. I provide attentive care in my client’s home, including regular walks, playtime, feeding, and monitoring. I maintain routines, offer companionship, and ensure pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for.

About: Can help take care of big dogs, and can play with dogs all day. Cats I can give them their space or play with them as needed. Rover is a summer side job for me to fund my college and stay active. And I love playing and being with dogs and cats. When it comes to walking or at home care, I have the experience and care to work out all sorts of trouble or problems with dogs and cats.

About: I have owned a dog and at least one cat my entire life. I've always felt I have a duty to give them as best of a life as possible. They chose us in a way, but we chose them as well. I have experience working with all different types of pet food, especially for the picky ones. I've given the typical pill pocket medications but have also given insulin in the past. As long as I'm shown what to do, I shouldn't have any problems :) Please let me know if you have any questions, I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule! I currently have one dog with my spouse who needs daily care with the typical pet needs! I'm not working at the moment so my schedule is flexible. I like to be detailed oriented, especially when I'm responsible for someone else's property.i know feedings and medications need to be precise and that safety is number one. Dogs are always leashed when not in a fenced yard and I'm always on the lookout for cars when walking!
