“This is our 3rd or 4th time using Adam as a Dogsitter for our pets. He has great communication and spends lots of time with our dogs. We’ll definitely be using him again!”
“Trinity was great and watched our dog over the holidays. We got daily photo updates and it was great to know he was in good hands. She was a great communicating prior to watching him and organizing a meet and greet with our dog a few days after we first communicated.”
“Caralisa took such great care of our kitty, we are definitely booking her again!!! Thank you for going the extra mile and giving us peace of mind while away on vacation🤍”
“Jade house sat for me while I was away for a few nights on work travel. She took great care of my dog and cat, provided updates, and left everything in great shape. I absolutely would have her pet sit again.”
“Sydnee was an absolute shining star of a sitter. She took fantastic care of my big boy Clyde (130 lbs, Great Pyr), and was very prompt and responsive to all messages. My house was well taken care of as well. I really appreciate how detailed her messages were and how her updates included lots of pictures from different points of the day. I really felt that she took it to heart to stay close to Clyde and give him the companionship and support he needed. I would 100% recommend her to anyone in need of dog/house sitting, and especially those who need a person who can handle a big breed.”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life dogs, cats, lizards, even goats! I’ve trained my dogs since they were puppies and have lots of experience with large breeds and senior pets. I’ve also been around cats for as long as I can remember and understand their different needs. Whether it’s energetic pups, shy cats, or unique pets like reptiles, I treat every animal with love, patience, and the same care I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because it’s something I truly love doing. I have a car for reliable transportation and flexibility, and caring for animals is my main focus. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and safety will always come first with me I’m here to give them the best care possible, just like I would for my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick to their normal routines, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they always feel at ease whether that means belly rubs, playtime, or just quiet company. Every animal is different, so I adjust to their needs and give them the same care and love I’d give my own pets.
“Amy was a caring and fun cat sitter for Cal and Cookie. She played with them and sent pictures and messages while we were away. She also left the home clean and ready for our return. Thanks Amy!”
“Dani is amaaaaaazing. I have a super shy cat who I knew would most likely hide the whole time and a couple birds who live in my office/a separate room… and she was super flexible and helpful when I realized my cat might need more space and time to eat since she hides when new people are around without me there. Super kind, professional and a good person all around. In the middle of a move and even with boxes/my home in the stages of moving, Dani made everything so simple and seamless while I was gone. I so appreciate her and highly recommend this fabulous fur (& feathered) family professional!”
“Brandy provided exceptional care for our dogs during our weekend absence. The open communication we maintained was greatly appreciated. We received regular updates and photographs while we were away. We are confident that we will rebook with Brandy in the future.”
“Emily did a wonderful job taking care of our cat & home. She sent me pics of our fur ball everyday. She also answered my messages right away. My home was left in pristine condition, and our cat was happy and silly like she always is. Emily did what was asked, she met my expectations and way more.”
“Kelsie did a wonderful job of caring for our two dogs, cat, and rabbits. She is very professional, reliable and communicative, and we would definitely have her sit for us again.”
About: At this point in my life, I have cared for almost any domestic, exotic or farm animal that one can run into! Time spent working with snakes and spiders in a reptile shop, working on farms with cattle, goats and chickens, and caring for everyones furry companions like cats, dogs and rodents in homes has left me feeling well prepared to handle whatever critters come our way. My remaining pet is Sharkbait, a 9 year old heeler mix, who has been the everywhere and everything dog with me for the last 8+ years. She has met all of the above animals in her time and is the ultimate friend to all. As a retired service animal, she is kind and intuitive while responding calmly to reactive animals she meets. This makes her the perfect travel companion and buddy for all your babies and she will always be with me on sitting and walking jobs as she and I like to stay very active, walking anywhere from 2-6 miles daily together. Lets chat about your animals specific needs and background! Being active is a huge part of my day and I love making sure your animals are included in that! Walks to the park and jogs around the block are my favorite way to keep your pets focus while expending that pent up energy. For homebody pets I love a good puzzle or snuffle toy to keep their minds working in their safe space. Meet and greets together as a family are priority so that when you're out of town or at work, your pet(s) can trust Sharkbait and I are there to support them. Any candid tips and tricks around behaviors or routines are welcomed.
“Alivia sat for Sage over the Christmas holidays while we were out of town and was fantastic. She kept us updated and took great care him. We always feel a little wary leaving him but it makes it a lot easier having someone like Alivia to take care of him. I wholeheartedly recommend her to look after your pets!”
About: My early childhood was on a farm with about eight different types of animals. After the farm, we had a series of work dogs with advanced training, an Amazon parrot, and many other birds and cats over the years. I have rescued, rehabilitated and rehoused a dozen dogs, I have raised many wonderful animals over the years, but I am currently missing pet time since I lost my darling and aged cat last summer. I am a career licensed massage therapist, and have a knack for instantly connecting with animals as well and as putting them at ease. I have a lot of experience pet and housesitting. All of my clients that had me stay at their house thanked me at length for how clean, fresh smelling and tidy I left their homes. I am happy to accommodate household practices. I have experience with special needs, administering medications, and always enjoy brushing, petting and massaging. I’m usually pretty good at pilling. I love to play with animals as appropriate for their health and well-being. Very much adhere to any language, training practices, schedule, and diet requested by the owner. My goal is always to have you returning to a very happy, healthy animal. Unfortunately, I am no longer able to walk dogs or take a lot of stairs. I work part-time from home so I am always around. I have a very large fenced in backyard. I am happy to host mature dogs here and also visit or stay at your place to facilitate the best environment for your beloved pets. I work part-time right here on the property in 60-90 minute increments. I have plenty of time to spend with some beloved pets. Often the pets that are in my care follow me around the different rooms that I spend time in and lay down next to or on me. I have a cozy three bedroom two-story house with my workspace immediately behind. Owner preference dictates whether or not pets will be allowed on furniture, but there are many nice spaces to relax. I am happy to utilize crates and any other routines but do not require them. I only work part time and spend the majority of the time here on the property. I love to engage with animals, cuddle, play, brush, practice training, and unless the animal does not enjoy it, I cannot resist massaging pets as a career licensed massage therapist. I have a very large fenced in yard with a mature garden that is generally unaffected by hosting pets. I have created a very level lawn and there is a large track that dogs love to run where they can sprint without any holes or rocks to step in or on. I use a leash to go between the door and fenced yard for dogs. Things in my life have changed recently and I very much miss animal time. These days I am unable to go for walks, be dynamic with play or handle a leash if there is any tugging but I can toss a toy and inspire play/yard running. I am very much in tune with any animals in my care and I’m committed to keeping them safe, protected and in their routines that keep them feeling grounded and happy. I believe that draining mental and physical energy keeps animals happy. At your house, I am happy to follow all of your rules and routines. I adore plants and I’m happy to provide care for those as well. I am flexible and real, so I always try to be accommodating within reason.
“Stone was fantastic with our dog and three cats! We had adopted our dog two weeks before a weekend trip we had already booked. We were nervous to leave our dog so soon after adopting him but Stone took excellent care of him and our three cats. They provided frequent updates and helped us feel at ease. We came home to happy and healthy pets.”
“Sydney was AMAZING!!! She took care of our dog so well and accommodated all her needs. She took her on lots of walks and was super respectful about staying in our apartment. Would definitely rebook with her! :)”
“Ada was great with our two bassett hounds! She was flexible with timing and was very easy to get a hold of! Our younger hound did great with her even though she has high anxiety.”
“Cassandra house sat for our two dogs in our home while we took a weekend trip. She took great care of them and even stayed at home with them the whole weekend which was great for Black Jack’s separation anxiety. She sent photos and updates and followed all of our instructions to a T, including brushing the dog’s teeth. The house was also in good shape when we returned. We would happily use Cassandra’s services again!”

Sarah was a lifesaver for our dogs. Our flight was deleted and despite our reservation ending she went back to give them more water and check in them. We got daily updates and pictures from the day. Travel was a lot less stressful knowing that our pets were well taken care off.
Adam was great! He won our pups over immediately and we came home to well cared for dogs and a clean space. He was communicative, professional, and sent updates as he said he would. The pictures and videos he shared really showed how the dogs took to him and we looked forward to recieving them. We will rebook with Adam!
Ellie took on our overly specific routines for 3 different pets with the utmost care and attentiveness. She is quick to respond and was very comprehensive when helping me and my fiance understand the nuances of Rover as this was our experience using this service. It was clear that she was compassionate with our pets - they all warmed up to her very fast. When we returned, one of my cats even seemed surprised as if he was expecting Ellie to return. My fiance and I will be leaving on a longer trip in a month and we are fully confident that Ellie will do another superb job, allowing us to enjoy our trip without any worries.
Emily did a wonderful job taking care of our cat & home. She sent me pics of our fur ball everyday. She also answered my messages right away. My home was left in pristine condition, and our cat was happy and silly like she always is. Emily did what was asked, she met my expectations and way more.
Madison did a great job! She spent a lot of time with our dogs, making sure they stayed on their routine. She communicated with us whenever she had questions and also sent random updates to let us know how the dogs were doing, which we really appreciated. We will definitely be looking to book with her again! 🐾
Sierra did such a great job watching my two dogs! She was very attentive when I was showing her things and asked great questions that made me feel like she actually cared about my babies! She has also been really great with scheduling and communicating up until she came! She sent me updates and pictures throughout her stay! I’m very picky about who watches my babies and I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with Sierra! I will definitely be using her services again!
Charlene took great care of our dog and our home while we were away. Seemed like a fair price for excellent service. Her prep interview before our vacation was thorough and put us at ease that our dog would be in good hands. Got plenty of pics and updates while we were away. Thanks Charlene!
