“Melissa was wonderful watching my two Persian cats that are fast approaching 15 yrs. old. They are picky eaters and she was very prompt with any updates. She managed their finnicky habits very well. Have already booked with her for a repeat visit.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have had my own Australian shepherd mix for the past 2 years. I am also skilled in training dogs! I have worked on many tricks with my own dog and would be happy to do some with your dogs as well. I would be happy to do sitting, walking, and/or boarding for your puppers :) I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention he/she needs. I take my dog for a daily walk around our neighborhood, and will bring the dog along for those walks. We also have a backyard and doggy door for playing. I have a fenced in yard and the my 2.5 year old Australian shepherd mix to keep your pet safe. I do ask that your dog is dog friendly because our shepherd loves to play! We also have space inside the home for the dogs to run around in!
“The best review we can offer is that we continue to book Luna over and over, even for a long stretch drop ins!! Our pets love her. Our dog has anxiety during boarding and he is calm and happy every time we get home. Luna goes above and beyond, and we truly believe she cares and enjoys spending pup time. She does a great job, sends photos, and gives lots of love to the animals. What more could you want? We will continue to rebook her!”
“Heather is so sweet and reliable. Even with bad weather she made sure Dani was taken care of. Also went above by bringing in all our deliveries. Would most definitely use her services again.”
“Maya did an outstanding job watching our pup, and her amazing care gave us such a peace of mind while we were away! She sent lots of pictures which we absolutely loved. She will definitely be our go to sitter moving forward!! Thanks so much Maya!”
“Fiona was great. She made an effort to get to know and understand Maddie before the first visit and responded quickly to messages. Our dog is not the most welcoming and is timid without the company of other dogs while away and Fiona came every day at the requested time to let her out. Fiona also made an effort to connect with her with treats.”
“We are traveling in an RV and had a couple of day long tours. Mishel came in to "walk" Maggie (Bicheon) once each day for about half an hour. She did fantastic and was great with her communications. Since we were in an RV we were difficult to find and it took extra effort for her to get to Maggie. I'd give her 6 stars if Rover would allow it :-)”
“Our cat was well taken care of during our 8-day trip. They were reliable, communicated as needed, and everything went smoothly. We’d book with them again.”
About: I have been working with and taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Growing up with dogs my entire life in my own home, as well as walking, pet-sitting, and feeding my neighbors 4-legged friends. I have experience with puppy training, as well as spendin time with senior dogs. I have worked with dogs with 3 legs, dogs who are deaf, and dogs with specfic diets. I am comfortable arounds dogs, and I have found that they are comfortable around me. I am currenlty working 25 hours a week as a behavioral tech in Lakewood. I have evenings and some early mornings avaiable as well as most weekends. I am also often available on lunches. I will treat your dog like my own. Whatever procedures and rules your dog follows at home, I will transfer to my time with them. I am high energy, and am able-bodied to be on the floor or running around with your dog.
About: I grew up with three family dogs. I know how to take care of them, give them affection, read their body language, and more! You can trust me to treat your fur babies well. I’m a current student so have plenty of gaps in the weekday to take care of your pets and walk them. I’m no typically busy Sunday nights either. I can follow any special instructions provided to me and will be sure that your pets needs are fully met in the best way possible.
“Wow! Thank you Madison for taking such great care of Smokey and Bandit! They absolutely loved hanging out with you and can't wait for you to pop in again. You are a total lifesaver! For those of you out there looking for a Rockstar sitter/walker --- Madison treated our dogs like her own—tons of love, long walks, and constant updates with the cutest photos. We came home to happy, relaxed pups and a spotless house. She’s reliable, caring, and simply the BEST! Book her—you’ll wish you found her sooner!”
About: Im a lover of most all animals especially dogs. I worked at a major dog toy manufacturer for over 10 years. Became friends with a dog trainer who taught me about behaviors and the do's and dont's when interacting with dogs. Is your dog a 'fetcher', 'chewer' or 'tugger'. I'm looking to making new dog friends. I'm recently retired and all days are available. It also gives me an opportunity to get some extra exercise while having a lot of fun doing so. I am looking only for dog walking and sitting at pet owners homes to start. That may change in the future but for now that's what I offer.
“Andrew did an amazing dog taking care of my pup George while I was away on a day trip. I came home to a happy, well-fed, and worn out pup! I would certainly recommend Andrew and use him again should the need arise.”

Heather was wonderfully consistent (as cats love) checking in on my two cats every day while we were away for 10 days. Litterrobot looked great, water was full, and cats in good spirits after our long trip! Thank you again, Heather, for giving them some TLC in our absence. We wouldn’t have been able to stomach being away from all our animals for that long without your help! 😊🙌 Also shout out for having no issues with our house security system, garage door, and litterrobot. Lots of random automation to navigate!
Nina has done drop-in visits for our cat a few times now, and is fantastic. We especially appreciated how well she handled his complicated medical needs on our most recent trip, after he was diagnosed with cancer — including preparing and giving him multiple medications twice a day, keeping close track of how much food he was eating, washing and replacing his dirty bedding, and taking helpful notes for us in his medical log on each visit. She was punctual (which was important for his medication timing) and sent us photos and updates after every visit. Our cat is super shy and normally just hides when visitors are around, so it was a huge relief to see from Nina’s photos that he was comfortable enough with her to come out to eat and even get some scritches. We were nervous about leaving him under someone else’s care, but he was obviously in great hands and we’d trust her to watch him any time in future. Thanks Nina!!
Nadia was so good with our dog Ivy. She got Ivy to warm up to her and became very comfortable with her staying with with her. She sent us photos after each time of visiting Ivy. And kept us informed with text messages while we were away I would highly recommend Nadia for anyone looking for a great pet visitor or sitter.
Elle did a fantastic job taking care of our kitty. She gave her lots of love and brushings daily, and took care of her feedings perfectly. We got photos every day which gave us peace of mind that our little girl was happy and healthy, and not missing us whatsoever! I highly recommend Elle for your pet sitting needs.
We had a last-minute change of plans and Kayla kindly agreed to take care of our cats on very short notice. We’re so so grateful for this! Most importantly, she took wonderful care of our kitties and followed all our instructions perfectly. When we got home, everything was just as we left it, without any new mess.
Picking Emily, was the right decision. She was very communicative, punctual, and most importantly took care of Elliott while we were away. Typically when we come home from a trip, Elliott is very displeased. However, this time was different. He greeted us, as a way to tell us “thank you, I was taken care of”. We will definitely reach out to Emily for our next visit.
