“Angie was great with our cat, Georgie! We received pictures that reassured us that he was doing well and that he was getting loved on while we were gone! We even booked a second set of drop ins with Angie for next time we are out of town.”


“Shelly took the time to bring my kitten to an emergency vet when it looked like he wasn't feeling well. She stayed with him for hours to make sure he was okay. I am immensely grateful for her help in saving my kitten.”


“Caitlin was GREAT with my dog Oliver! She kept me updated on when she was arriving, sent a bunch of cute pictures, and gave me a full rundown of how the visit went. She made sure he was fed and got a potty break, some fun ball play, and it was clear she took great care of him. I feel really comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. We already have her scheduled again for multiple visits. I would absolutely recommend her!”


“My cat was shy at first, but Mike seemed to have gotten her out of her shell right away on his first check in visit! She was happy and healthy when I returned after my trip of almost 2 weeks. Thanks :)”


“Marella is so easy to work with, and truly cares for my pets. She was careful to complete all of my visit requests, and took her time to give each of them some quality time and lots of attention and love.”


“Janel always does exactly what is needed. I have piece of mind at every drop in and overnight stay knowing that Oliver is well taken care of. She is always my first choice for a sitter!”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my years of hands-on experience caring for pets in a home setting. I've been pet-sitting since high school, providing not just daily walks and care, but also overnight stays and home care, ensuring both pets and their homes are well looked after. I’m experienced in caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need extra playtime to senior dogs who require gentle care and patience. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I make sure to follow their schedule closely—whether it’s feeding, administering medications, or just giving them extra love and attention while their owners are away. Beyond pet care, I also respect and maintain the home by keeping it clean and secure, so clients can travel with peace of mind. I provide regular updates with photos and messages, so pet parents always feel connected. My goal is to ensure that your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence, and that you return to a happy, stress-free home! Now that I’ve graduated, I have a more flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and energy to provide reliable, attentive pet care. I’m able to accommodate a wide range of needs, from midday check-ins to extended overnight stays. I follow your pet's usual schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and bedtime to minimize stress while you're away. I make sure your dog gets the right amount of exercise, whether that's a daily long walk or a short potty break. I spend quality time with your pet, giving them affection, playtime, and attention to prevent loneliness. For home care, I keep the house tidy, bring in mail, water plants, and ensure everything stays secure while you're away. I send daily updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and cared for.

About: My name is Mackenzie and I’m a dog mom of two and have experience taking care of my family dog growing up & dog sitting family/friends’ dogs. I currently have a 12 year old male Lab mix named Duke and a 6 year old male Sheepadoodle named Charlie. I have experience with senior care due to my dog, Duke’s needs. He has arthritis and needs extra support due to this. I also have experience with giving medication to dogs. I’m a lover of all dogs, no matters their age and size. I have my summers off as I work in the schools so I have a flexible schedule for your busy summers! 🐶🐾☀️ I currently have summers off as I work in the schools so I have an open schedule during the week for your busy summer needs! I live in an apartment complex that has access to a dog park on the property. I take my dogs there often to play and get their energy out. I take my dogs on walks around the complex and the local parks around the area. My dogs are both crate trained and I have experience with this.

About: I’ve dog-sat (and house-sat) for friends for a while, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing happy dogs! I love taking them for long walks or runs, spending the day playing with them, and of course giving them plenty of hugs and pets! ❤️🐶 I’m currently working full-time, so during the week I’m available to go on short walks during lunch and make sure your dog is fed and can use the bathroom. I can spend time with them in the evenings as well, and I’m also available for house sitting to keep them company while you’re away! I don’t have any pets of my own at home, but I’ve had plenty of experience caring for pets of friends and family members. I like taking them for walks through neighborhoods or parks where they can meet other dogs or people and see new places!

About: I grew up in a family full of pet lovers and have been taking care of animals from a young age. I will play, snuggle and meet all of your pets needs while you are away. I will give your pet all the love and care they deserve! I currently work from home full time but have a flexible work schedule that allows me to be accommodating to different schedule. I am also free in the evenings and most weekends. I can feed, walk, crate, play and hangout with your pet as needed. I’m not afraid to clean up any messes or accidents while I am there either.

“Rebecca is WONDERFUL! She took care of our two cats while we were traveling recently and she really put our minds at ease. She stopped by to meet the cats before our trip so I could go through all the things with her. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you, Rebecca!”

“This was my first time using Rover and also my first time having somebody I didn’t know check on my dog. Rachel was flexible with the timeframes to walk my dog, and was great at giving updates every time she visited. She sent pictures and updates with every walk. Besides that, she went above and beyond to be professional, timely, and all-around nice! I will definitely keep her in mind for visits with my dog in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. She was definitely worth the money.”
