“If I could give MORE than 5 stars I would. Natalie was fantastic with my cats, and took special care to make sure both of them were happy and comfortable throughout our trip. She gave us very detailed drop in notes, played with our kitten to wear him out, and treated our special needs older cat with as much care as we would. It's clear she cares for each animal she watches over. Thank you so much again, Natalie!!”

“Grace is the very best. I can travel without a care when she is there with my 2 felines. She is an excellent communicator and, most importantly, she is able to respond quickly and maturely if the occasion arises when a decision or action is needed. I recommend her without reservation.”
About: What sets me apart is being home full-time to provide constant companionship, plus having a friendly French bulldog who's great with other dogs for socialization and play. My two teenage boys absolutely love pets and will provide even more attention and interaction throughout the day. My securely fenced yard gives pets plenty of safe exercise space, and I have specific experience with French bulldogs and brachycephalic breeds, including understanding their special needs around breathing, temperature, and exercise limits. This knowledge also helps me provide attentive care for senior dogs or pets with special requirements. Pet care fits seamlessly into my family's routine. I start with morning walks and feeding, then take natural breaks throughout the day for quick walks or play sessions, I provide pet care in both my home and clients' homes, depending on what works best for each pet and family. In my home, I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can play safely and get plenty of exercise. My friendly French bulldog loves having companions and is great with other dogs, so visiting pets get both human attention and canine socialization.
About: I approach each dog as individuals to understand their personalities. As a pet parent, I’ve owned five dogs, three of which unfortunately have moved on to the rainbow bridge. I currently have a 5 year old Aussie and a 3 year old border collie mix, both a calm and friendly to dogs, cats, and people. I work a regular job from 8am - 4:30pm M-F, with remote work from W-F. My availability are any remote days and weekends. I can watch your dogs at home during those days or check in on them after work hours and anytime in the weekends. I spoil my dogs and cats. I make sure to play with them daily and take them for walks. Having an Aussie and border collie demands it! Both our dogs know when it’s bed time and sleep in our bedroom. Luna the border collie sleeps in our bed, the best snuggle bug ever.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and about 3 years caring for my friend’s cats. Whether your pup needs a long walk, your cat needs a quick check-in, or you're heading out of town, I provide attentive, personalized care you can count on. I specialize in safe, enjoyable dog walks with a strong focus on leash handling, and environmental awareness, especially around foxtails, bees, and other outdoor hazards. I tailor each walk to your pet’s energy level and comfort, making sure they get the right balance of exercise and affection. I also offer feeding and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Whether it’s refreshing food and water, giving medications. I’m happy to help keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free while you're away to keep your fur baby safe, happy, and exercised. I also offer plenty of love and attention—belly rubs, cuddles, and playtime are all part of the package! Let’s connect—I’d love to meet your furry family! I plan my schedule around my clients’ needs, whether that’s daily walks, morning or evening drop-ins. I space out visits to make sure I’m never rushed and each pet gets the full attention they deserve. I treat this like a real job (because it is!) and I take pride in being on time, dependable, and available when needed, including weekends and holidays. My routine is flexible, so I can adjust to meet your pet’s schedule—early mornings, midday visits, or evening care, whatever works best for them. Caring for animals is something I love, and I’ve built my lifestyle around it. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space—and your pet—with the same respect and attention I’d give my own. I follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine and environment, so they feel safe and secure while you're away. Here’s what you can expect: 🐾 Routine & Comfort: I stick to your pet’s feeding schedule, walk times, medication routines, and preferred play or cuddle habits. Familiar routines help reduce anxiety and keep them happy. 🐾 Clean & Tidy: I make sure water bowls are fresh, litter boxes and potty areas are clean, and any messes are tidied up. I leave your home as I found it. 🐾 Safety First: I’m always alert for hazards (like doors left ajar, bees, foxtails, outdoor dangers, or signs of illness) and will contact you immediately if anything seems off. 🐾 Communication: You’ll get regular updates with photos and notes, so you know your pet is doing well—and maybe even having a little fun without you. 😊 🐾 Respectful Presence: When dropping in I’m discreet, trustworthy, and respectful of your space. Your privacy and your pet’s comfort are always priorities.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl from puppies to senior pups. I enjoy how each dog had their own personality and would love to be a part of their wolf pack! I am currently a pre-school teacher and have a passion for helping animals while I am striving towards my certification for Child Life Specialist. I enjoy animals and love to help any animal in need and Rover is a way I can contribute and help others make sure their pet is safe and taken care of. Trust is a huge building block in any animal relationship. I would love to learn everything about my clients animals to ensure they are loved to the fullest. I don’t mind if the list of things the animals needs is long, I will do anything for your fur babies!
“My rescue cat has a great deal of separation anxiety and Susan was SO patient and loving with him. Susan really went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable and secure while I was away. She even watched his favorite bird videos with him on YouTube! I highly recommend Susan.”
“Min ham was great with Albus! She went out of her way to give him extra love and even a little grooming. Our cat loves his time with people and we’re grateful that Minnhan took such nice care of him!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages; 7 months to 15 years old. I take joy in giving your pup or kitty my time and making them feel as comfortable as they can in my home or your home. If that means playing with them all throughout the day, cuddling on the couch, going on walks, or giving more time and attention then I am happy as long as the pets are satisfied. I want the animals that I watch to feel safe and happy, as if their owners were home. I am open to pet sitting in your home if that works better but my preference is to bring them to my home. When staying at a clients house I like to get familiar with the yard and space so I know of any places your pet may hide away or rest. Some times our pets like to nap in places that we would not suspect and I want to make sure I can keep track of your pet at all times while in my care. I am flexible with hours during the week and weekends. At this time, I am available almost all hours. Please contact me 3 days prior so I can meet your loving pet. My yard is fenced in with a gate. I will manage daily potty breaks and walks regardless of the temperatures. Play time as needed will be provided.
“I’ve had Alma scheduled for drop ins for the past few months on the days I work. She is really good and patient with my teenage dog. She even helps with his training. She’s very communicative, replies fast and leaves a detailed note with good pictures. Very flexible with her schedule especially in hotter days. Never missed a visit. Able to do any of my requests. She has been very consistent with me.”
About: I adore caring for and spending time with animals. My schedule is negotiable. Your fur babies will be cared for as though they were mine. I have experience administering medication, caring for reactive pups and I’ll be ready for anything, even an emergency! I have a flexible schedule, just let me know how I can help. I am willing to do check-in, daily walks, and occasional over-night stays. I will carefully follow all instructions that are given to care for your baby to ensure they are safe, and well cared for at all times.
“Natalie was kind, compassionate, and reliable as a pet sitter. She cared for our senior cat for 12 days and took great care of him. We got updates at every visit and she took care of special requests. It was easy to communicate with Natalie, and we would trust her to care for our family pets again in the future! Thank you so much Natalie. ♥️”
“Vanessa was great with our two cats. She sent daily updates and pictures. Made sure she saw both cats and gave them pets and treats. She came during the agreed upon times. Vanessa contacted us when there was an issue with our door and was kind enough to bring in our trash cans for us. Definitely will contact her for our next trip!”
“Andrew is a wonderful sitter! He’s patience with kitty’s and earns their trust. My fur babies are quite fond of him, and I know I can travel and be away from the babies because they are in good hands. Thanks Andrew!”

Mayra M.
“Mayra took care of our two pups during a vacation abroad recently. She came over every day to feed them, walk them, and shower them with affection while we were gone. One of them was old and required special care, with the administration of two different medications and a special diet. She kept us updated with daily reports and pictures, giving us great peace of mind knowing that they were in such good hands. She's reliable and loving with pets, and our pups fell in love with her.”
Anna B.
“Anna is an absolutely amazing dog sitter! From the moment she met my pup Onyx, it was clear she has a natural connection with dogs. Onyx warmed up to her instantly and now completely adores and trusts her — which says a lot, because he’s usually a little shy with new people. Anna has built such a genuine bond with not just Onyx, but with me as well. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly passionate about what she does. It’s such a comfort knowing my dog is in great hands when I’m away. I can’t recommend her enough!”

Brenda L.
“Brenda has assisted us in watching our dog Rocky, a 3yr old Goldendoodle. She reached out to confirm details on what Rocky’s schedule is throughout the day and abided by that. Since Rocky is high energy and needs his exercise she took him on two walks and even let him out in the backyard to run around. You can tell she has a true passion and love for animals. While we were gone she even helped with our gecko. She has been back a couple of times and Rocky is definitely happy with her.”

Zariyah was amazing! I was away for five days and needed someone dependable to drop in on my cat, Gojo. She delivered above and beyond. She made sure he was fed, had fresh water every day, and kept his litter box clean. What I appreciated most was that she shared regular updates, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Knowing Gojo was in such thoughtful and capable hands made all the difference. I’ll definitely be booking Zariyah again. I highly recommend her service!
Erica did a great job taking care of my Cats. They were all happy and healthy when we got home and she cleaned the litterbox for them and I believe she spent time playing and petting them, or at least the 2 that would let her LOL. Wash is a suspicious little girl. I highly recommend Erica for pet sitting drop in visits. she is responsible and take a great deal of notes, wanted to make sure she gets it right. She is wonderful.
