“Courtney has taken care of my daughter’s pets when we travel for the last few years, and for our recent trip she came to take care of my kitty too. She took such good care of him and goes the extra mile with notes and photos daily, it gave me such peace of mind! I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Rachel was the perfect sitter for Shangela. She sent lots of photos, was extremely professional, and it seems like Shangela was well cared for while I was gone. I Will likey book her again.”
About: I’m a Registered Nurse and lifelong animal lover, and I bring that same level of care and attention to your pets. I’ve been a devoted cat mom for many years, including caring for senior cats who needed both oral and topical medications. I also grew up with dogs and genuinely enjoy walking, playing, and cuddling with them. I’m Red Cross certified in Cat and Dog First Aid, so you can feel confident your pets are in knowledgeable, capable hands. As a solo provider, I get to know each pet personally and tailor my care to their needs. If you’re looking for a gentle, medically aware sitter or walker, I’d be happy to help care for your furry family members. Being self-employed, my schedule is easily adaptable to fit clients' needs. I allow for enough time between clients so that our time together is not rushed. I will respect your home & follow your care instructions completely. For walks, I'll ensure your pet is safe while getting the amount of attention and activity they need.
About: I have experience with many different animal species thanks to my work at the zoo! Patience and respect are the two most important elements I've incorporated into any interaction I have with animals. I care for my own cats every day, and frequently help my friends and family with taking their dogs on walks and stopping in to check on them. Adding your pet to my routine would be as natural as heading to the store or grabbing coffee. I work as a bartender, so even on the days that I work, stopping by to check on a pup or walk them during your workday is easy. I've stayed at multiple homes to care for other people's dogs. A weimaraner, an ibizan, a couple boxer-shitzu mixes, some terrier mixes, and many more! Catering to the needs of each individual dog and home comes easily to me, and following instructions for securing pets or households is a top priority.
“Octavia is great! Very professional & responsive. She took care of our cat when he got sick while we were away and was accommodating to help us navigate that anxiety. Will definitely be using her for cat sitting again”
“This was our first time using Rover and Alexis put us totally at ease leaving our cat in her care. Alexis was kind enough to stop by a few days before to meet us and our cat. Our skittish former-street cat took to her immediately, curled up with her, and Alexis was great at not only feeding her, but providing companionship a lnd many pets/scratches. She sent great Rover Cards and sweet photos. I would 100% use her again!!”

I’d love to help with walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and companionship while you’re away\! 🐾❤️ I have three full days off each week, so I have plenty of flexibility for pet care.

About: Hi! I’m Jill and I have been a pet owner my entire life! I have had many puppies, dogs, cats and kittens myself so I definitely have a soft spot for our furry friends! Finding good pet care is just like finding a good babysitter you need someone you can trust and rely on! I hope to be that person for you! No matter if it’s a quick check-in or a walk, my total focus is making sure your pets are living their best life! I have been doing check-in and walks for over 10 years helping out coworkers, friends, family, and neighbors. Just because you might be busy or have a lot on your plate does not mean you should feel guilty for spending a little extra time away from your furry friends. I will use every minute with them to make sure they are comfortable, loved, healthy, safe and well-fed! When it comes to any special instructions, those are always a top priority, your wishes are my command! I run my own buisness and work only 5 minutes from my home! I am very flexible being on my own schedule! I don’t have children yet so my out of work schedule is very loose during the week days! When coming to your home to care for your pets all I ask is that some basic instructions of what you would like done is all that is required! I am well versed in pet care so most requests will not phase me! Dogs: I would love to take your pup for a walk or throw around their favorite toy in your yard if you have a fence or secured yard leash! Let me know how you would like their #2 disposed of for when they use the restroom! And of course, a treat or two for the big brave baby for being so good while their parents are away! Cats: feeding time/treat time is every kitties favorite! Whatever is needed will be executed with the addition of some pets and love! I am no stranger to a litter box so if we need a refresh, don’t hesitate to ask!

About: While growing up, I fed, watered, played with, and walked our family friends. I even picked up poop! As an adult, I've done it all, from cleaning major messes to administering meds. I love canines and felines of all varieties, from the smallest to the largest! I am available to care for your pet(s) throughout the business day. Although I am also doing some volunteer work, I keep a regular schedule. I will care for your pets according to your express instructions. They will be treated as my own with as much love and concern as I can provide.
About: As a lifelong animal lover I have cared for dogs, cats and even rodents! For the past decade plus I had the honor and privilege to have cared for 2 dogs who lived fun and fulfilling lives to senior age. I am experienced with dogs who deal with reactivity, chronic illnesses, and mobility issues. I have acquired some basic training skills over the years including e-collar training. Please do not hesitate to send a message with details about your dog's specific needs. Together we can create the best care plan possible for your fluffy family members! I work remotely full time from home with a flexible schedule. Throughout my work day I diligently walk, water, feed, and play with any animals under my care. Pet needs can sometimes be unpredictable. My services can be made available to those in need of short-notice pet care. For those in need of pet boarding and short-term pet sitting I have a large fenced yard with plenty of toys, access to potty areas, and open access into my home. There is plenty of space for your dog to be comfortable and receive appropriate mental stimulation. Crate trained dogs are welcome though the majority of my experience is with non-crate trained dogs. I make a point to walk and play with your dog as much as necessary!
“Adara was absolutely wonderful with Javi and Tamale! From the start, it was clear she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care — she was attentive, gentle, and really listened to everything I shared about their needs and routines. The regular updates she sent gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups, which says everything. We will 100% be booking with Adara again — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pets like her own!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have a 2 year old cat named Milo. I’ve helped friends and family watching their pets while out of town for over 10 years. I am currently working part-time, so I can be flexible with your schedule. Please contact me for more details. I am frequently available 9 AM - 5 PM M-F, and most weekends too.

“Great with our dog, Stella. Briana was patient and kind as Stella became adjusted to a new person. She sent photos of Stella’s activities, which was appreciated. We have already scheduled Briana to come again!”
About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel
