“We booked Sheryl last minute on this holiday weekend as we were staying out of town longer than anticipated. She not only responded right away, but was able to take great care of our two kitties (per her usual). Thank you, Sheryl!”
About: With nine years of dedicated pet‑sitting experience, from raising puppies and owning pets my whole life, working at a stable, to working in a vet office, I’ve cared for a wide variety of beloved companions—horses, dogs, cats, and even parrots! I bring a personal approach and professional skill set to every job and try to treat each animal like my own. What Sets Me Apart- Reliable communication: I send frequent photo and video updates so owners can relax knowing everything's going smoothly. Home-away-from-home care: My goal is to replicate each pet’s normal environment—whether that’s the pasture, living room, or aviary—so they feel at ease in your absence. I’d love to chat about how I can provide compassionate, professional care for your furry or feathered family members. Feel free to ask about my routines, special animal skills, or typical day—you’ll know your pets are in great hands! I work from home and have a pretty open-flexible schedule. When I agree to a job, I make sure my life goes around your animals as much as I can. We have a fenced yard and dog pen in the yard as well. We have a loving, 2 year old Aussie that would love to play with your friend or I can crate either your pet or mine if needed. If I am coming to your home for check-ins or walks, I try to make your pet feel comfortable and loved on in your absence.
“Awesome sitters! They even checked to make sure we made it home as well. Took great care of our two dogs while we were out of town. We'll definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Elizabeth took great care of my cat while we were out of town. She was so understanding when our schedules changed and he was a happy kitty to see her. I would definitely recommend her for your furry family members.”
About: I’m a semi-retired registered nurse with over 10 years of home and pet sitting experience, including pets with special medical needs requiring medicine and insulin injections. I am semi-retired and I am available for daytime pet visits on my days off or around my work schedule. I am available anytime for overnight sitting. I care for the pets as the client wishes, to help maintain normalcy and reduce anxiety and stress for the pet while the client is away.
“Alissa really helped me with Chumley! He absolutely loves her, and they bonded very quickly. I have no reservations about hiring Alissa again should the need arise. Thank you, Alissa!”
“Christy is amazing. She arrived on time, shared pictures at every visit. She was compassionate with our senior dog, feeding her by hand to ensure she ate. Christy played with our more active dog, making sure he spent some energy. For the first time using Rover we could not have had a better experience. Christy, thank you so very much for tending our babies as we would.”

“Diane was amazing! She spent quality time with our pup and even spent a couple of nights because she could tell our pup needed it. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
Tiffany H.
“I’ve had the unique perspective of watching my wife care for animals for over 20 years—not just our own, but the pets of friends, family, neighbors, and now her Rover clients. What stands out to me most is how natural it is for her. She connects with animals in a way that’s calm, patient, and deeply genuine. She’s the kind of person who notices the little things—if a dog’s energy is off, if a cat is hiding more than usual, or if a routine needs to be adjusted to help a pet feel more comfortable. She treats every animal like it’s part of our family, and she takes that responsibility seriously. I’ve seen how much trust people place in her, and it’s always well-earned. Whether it’s handling medication, comforting an anxious pet, or just being a steady, loving presence, she shows up fully every time. If you're looking for someone who will truly care for your pet like their own, you won’t find anyone more devoted than my wife.”
