“Beth has been incredibly loving and patient to my 2 cats when we were away from home. We enjoyed our vacation knowing that Beth stayed in with my 2 cats to take care of them. She treated my cats as if they were hers, provided them with utmost care, and spoiled them. She even let them use her own ipad so my cats could play the mice hunt in her ipad. She would update me everything whether they are sad, or not feeling well. But, she would reassure me that she would do her best to make them comfortable and eat and drink. I am now at ease that I found an amazing and trustworthy sitter if I have planned vacations next time.”
About: We volunteer at the Danville SPCA caring for the cats and dogs at their facility. We currently have 4 cats of our own and bottle-feed orphaned kittens from time to time through a local rescue. We have experience from puppies-seniors and have clients who are blind and on insulin and oral medications. *We only host one family at a time so we can give your pet(s) all the attention they need. ***due to our home owners insurance, we can NOT board pit bulls, Rottweilers, Akitas, but would be happy to offer any other service for those breeds*** We both work but I (Celest) only work part time and close to home so we can check in on pets throughout the day for potty breaks. Potty breaks every 0-2 hours! We only book one household at a time so your pets won’t have to share our attention! We have a fenced in yard for SUPERVISED playtime. Pets are CRATED while we are asleep or at work. Once we get to know your pet we can discuss not using a crate. Pets are treated like our own which means they are allowed on the furniture and can go on car rides unless you tell us otherwise.
“Kaitlynn has visited with and cared for my dog during multiple visits now. She is easy to communicate with, sends pictures and updates, and my dog loves her and is well cared for! I would recommend Kaitlynn to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: Does your dog have a flair for the dramatics? Would your puppy enjoy long walks around the neighborhood while listening to recitations of Shakespeare's greatest works? I am a theatre professional who takes care of animals in her spare time. Your animals will be a part of my family just as any cast or crew member I work with. I like to stay active and have fun and would be the perfect companion to help watch over your fur baby for a couple of days or for a short break to play with them or take a walk. I have grown up with dogs, worked and volunteered with animal organizations, and have watched over friend's and family's dogs. No matter the canine, I am ready! I'm also a loving mom of two adorable cats

“Lisa was great with our puppies for a few drop-in visits while we were out of town for the day. She kept in contact when she was at our house and provided updates with how the puppies were doing along with some pictures. We got back late, so she even checked the next morning to make sure they were okay when we got home which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Lisa for all of your dog sitting needs! Thank you so much, Lisa!!”

About: I've had my own dog for 11 years and I've pet sat for many friends/family. No dog is too big or too small. I have no issue with particular instructions, and will follow any rules you have in place for your dog I work full time on 1st shift, Monday to Friday, so I will be available evenings. On Saturday and Sunday, I will be available all day/night! I have a fenced yard and two dogs at my home. Most likely, our dogs will be separated at all times, even though mine are friendly. I would rather stay on the safe side. But I will treat your animal as my own while in my care. Giving them all the attention, love, and time they need while you're away.
“Natalie has been such a saving grace to me and my pup! I’m a travel nurse in the area who works long shifts and Natalie was available during the odd hours I needed to watch my dog, even some days she wasn’t available she helped me figure out care for my dog still. A great sitter!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Amanda was absolutely incredible caring for our 8 cats. She was so professional, respectful, loving, and nurturing of our fur kids and our home. We were deeply impressed and touched by her dedication and kindness to our babies, especially when several of them require medication twice daily. She handled all of them beautifully. We can’t recommend her highly enough.”

Celestia & Ryan F.
“She is the only person I trust with my baby maverick. He is a 2 year old corgi and can be wild at times, Celestia is very patient with him and shows him just as much love as me or his dad. She is very accommodating whenever we have her watch maverick, she knows he's basically like a child to me and kept me constantly updated which I really appreciate because it makes me know she really cares about the animals and her clients. I honestly don't know how I would be able to go on vacation without her help. The very best.”
