“Thank you to Rhonda for exceptional care and kindness to our 3 grateful kitties!! She was so great to work with and had very high standards of care!! Thanks so much and I highly recommend this care giver to others! Marci D.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Hannah! Our two pets are very shy, but she was so patient and kind with them. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. It was such a relief not to have to worry! So happy to have found Hannah :)”
“I’m so grateful to have found Lauren! She stayed at my home while I was away and took wonderful care of my cat. She sent me frequent updates and tons of adorable photos, which really helped put my mind at ease. It was clear from the pictures (and my cat’s behavior when I returned) that he was very happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again --highly recommend!”
“Sarah calmed all my nerves of leaving my elderly cat in her professional care when I went to visit my mother. She took tender loving care of her by brushing her, playing with her as tolerated, feeding her her special food and cleaning her eye. I will be requesting Sarah over and over again and highly recommend her for all kinds of special pets!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Shaune! She took care of my three cats while I was away, including one who requires daily insulin injections — and she handled everything with incredible care and professionalism. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with pets. She kept me updated with daily messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was gone. I was especially impressed with how confidently she managed the insulin shots — my diabetic cat was calm and well cared for, and I returned to find all three cats happy, healthy, and relaxed.”
“Ray took really good care of our cat, Nutella! She didn’t want to leave when we picked her up and seemed to really like being there. He was also accomodating and sent daily updates with photos! Thank you Ray!”
“Shelly did everything I asked her to do. She was great about posting updates each day. I have had sitters in the past who didn’t pay careful attention to instructions and texted me often while I was away. Shelly paid attention and handled this job as a professional. I would definitely hire her again!”
“She was absolutely amazing with my kitties! I was a bit nervous to have someone watch them since I’ve never done that before and didn’t know how the kitties would react but she did great! I got lots of pictures and even some videos everyday and she made sure to keep me updated on how they’re doing. If you’re looking for someone to watch your precious pets book with her! ?”
About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life! I’ve personally owned a beagle, basset hound, three standard poodles, and a collie. I am a long time pet sitter for my friends and I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds (proud pitbull auntie). I will love your pet as if they’re my own. Pets are family. I work full time but I’m usually off work by 430pm. I don’t have children so I have a pretty open schedule otherwise! I only work Monday through Friday, so I’m available all weekend as well. I will have some holiday availability! I have 2 cats who are comfortable with other cats and dogs. I’m currently in an apartment so I would take the dog out and walk them often.
About: Born & raised in a family with just as many pets as people, I’ve stuck out for getting along with every animal I meet, very well and very fast. If your pet needs a new best friend, I’m just a booking away! My calendar is very flexible, just communicate with me beforehand :) As of right now, I’m a job-searching student with seemingly all the time in the world. I enjoy establishing daily routines that keep me busy. I personally own one happy parakeet and a healthy tortoise, but I also care for 2 of my family’s dogs (1 small, 1 medium) and one sweet cat. I have also assisted in potty training for dogs, and I work well with meal schedules.
About: I have lived on a farm all my life with pigs, cows, sheep, rabbits and poultry and I have a dog of my own, and 2 cats also. I love to play and snuggle with them and I have been told before I am like the animal whisper and have this nurturing effect with any and all animals of various temperaments. I am a high energy person, but I can also be mellow and adjust well to any breed or any activity level. I have delt with puppies and elder animals of many species. I have no problem walking with your loved pet. I will make sure to make sure pets are treated like one of my own. It would be as if you and your family never left. I’m primarily available on weekends and occasionally during the week, depending on my work schedule, which can be flexible most of the time. My husband also works from home and helps care for our pets when I’m away, so he’s available to assist with pet care during longer stays or daytime needs. Together, we ensure that your pets are never left without attention and care. If you’re planning a trip or need a sitter during the week, feel free to reach out—I’ll do my best to accommodate! At home, our pets are truly part of the family. We have a semi-fenced yard and a 30-foot tie-out that allows for safe outdoor time and supervised play. Our dogs are fed twice a day, enjoy afternoon playtime, and go for evening walks to stay active and happy. We also have two indoor cats, Oliver and Nala, who are both well-adjusted to sharing their space with dogs. Oliver is curious and enjoys joining us on walks in his pet stroller. He loves the sights and sounds of the outdoors! Nala, on the other hand, prefers the comfort of staying indoors, and we fully respect her boundaries. We never force our animals to do anything they’re uncomfortable with and always tailor our care to meet each pet’s unique personality and needs. Visiting pets will receive the same thoughtful, loving care just like one of our own!
About: I have genuine love for animals, being reliable, and possessing strong communication skills. I have special skills such as training puppies, providing senior care, and baby sitting kids of all ages. Patience, attentiveness, and a deep understanding of animal behavior are my strengths I am going to school full time but have many hours available to care for pets and am available daily even if it’s just for a couple hours I prefer to walk pets more than caring for them at a home but I don’t mind watching them at clients homes. I make sure pets have a balanced and nutritious diet tailored to their specific needs, get regular exercise, have comfortable space and spending quality time with your pets. They thrive on social interaction, love, and attention.

About: I have cared for four dogs over the past 12 years (all rescues). I have a genuine passion for providing the best quality care, and I will treat your dog(s) like they are my own. I have extensive experience caring for dogs with high anxiety levels and/or behavioral issues, along with puppies and senior dogs. I am also highly detail-oriented, organized, and understand the importance of routine and structure in your dog's life. Your instructions, requests, and/or concerns are my top priority. I am currently working part-time, so I have extra time during the week and on weekends to provide pet and house-sitting services. I am available for drop-in visits, house-sitting, and any other requests. I will treat your home environment with the utmost respect. I will follow any instructions and requests you give me to a tee, and your pet(s) safety is my top priority.
About: Most of my experience pet sitting has been with dogs for friends and family since I have been in high school (on and off for 15 years). I have some experience with cat sitting for family and friends which I have done in 2020 and very recently (August 2024). I have experience pet setting for senior dogs and helping dogs with physical ailments such as hearing, vision, and mobility issues. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I like learning as much as I can about the specific animal I am taking care of, spending time with them. It is important for me not only to meet your pets needs but to go above and beyond. Pet care fits well into my current schedule! My schedule is flexible right now and I am available to take care of your pet anytime beside Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I care a lot about animals and other people's pets by extension, as I know they are an important part of the family. I don't have much space in my own place but I would love to care for pets in clients homes. I am adaptable to meet you and your pets needs, whatever they may be.
“Laura did an amazing job doing drop in visits for our cat Sultan. This was our first time using rover and leaving him home alone for a extended period of time. Laura was patient and understanding while explaining how things work and took pictures and constantly kept us updated. We hope we can work with laura every time we have to leave our kitty at home !”
