“Kelly was wonderful. I went away for several days and wanted someone to administer a once daily liquid steroid to my cat and someone to also give her affection each day and to check on her water and her automated litter and food containers. Kelly met with me to review everything the day before starting. She was a great communicator throughout, even texting a picture of my cat’s foot to make sure something she saw was normal. I loved the pictures and videos of her playing with my cat as well! Great experience!”
About: With over 25 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals, I bring a unique blend of professionalism, intuition, and grounded presence to every animal I care for. My background in law enforcement, behavioral observation, and trauma-informed support makes me especially skilled with animals who are anxious, reactive, or sensitive. I’ve worked with everything from puppies to senior pets, high-energy working breeds to misunderstood rescues, and multi-pet households that require structure and reliability. I’m confident with medication administration, basic training follow-through, and reading body language to prevent issues before they start. What sets me apart? 🐾 Veteran-level experience—not a hobbyist or casual sitter 🐾 Criminal justice & security background—you can trust your home and animals are safe 🐾 Farm-capable—comfortable caring for chickens, goats, donkeys, horses, and more 🐾 Trauma-aware—I understand how to approach fearful or reactive animals with calm authority 🐾 Energetically grounded—I leave your pets emotionally balanced, not just fed Whether you're gone for a day or several weeks, I ensure your animals are cared for with the same diligence and loyalty I give my own. Additional Animal & Farm Care Pricing Have animals that aren’t listed on Rover? No problem—I also care for chickens, goats, donkeys, horses, and more.

“Megan did a wonderful job! She handled the different needs of each of our cats like a pro. One cat needs twice daily pills, and she was prompt each and every time. She went above and beyond, even taking care of a couple small requests I made. I have no hesitation in recommending Megan to other people and will definitely be hiring her again the next time we need a hand!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Gianna! From the moment we met, I knew my pup was in good hands. They treated my dog like family—sending updates, sharing photos, and making sure every little detail was taken care of. My dog came back happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone I can trust when I have to be away. Reliable, kind, and truly an animal lover through and through. I highly recommend Gianna to anyone who wants peace of mind and a happy, well-cared-for pet. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Katrena was very professional. She provided detailed and timely updates while caring for my cat Sophia. I would recommend her services and will definitely contact her for any future pet sitting needs.”
About: I will make sure your fur-baby has the best time and make sure you get pictures through the time they are with me! I will be home at all time so they will never be lonely. I have a puppy that loves to play with other dogs AND adores cats! (Sometimes I feel as if she thinks she is a cat too😂) I have toys and treats. I usually allow the animals on our furniture because this is their home as well, But if you don’t want your baby on furniture I fully respect and can accommodate that for you! I lost my home not long ago and got out of a bad relationship. I’m currently living in a van and traveling! I have all the time in the world and being able to see your pets and spend time with them woukd be the best! 💜 They will be looked after and played with! I am a huge animal lover and always have been. I love spending time with animals and learning about them! :)
“Molly is WONDERFUL! I was so worried because we have a rescue cat who can get bitey and scratchy. It takes him awhile to trust. Molly was consistent, kind, and patient with him. We were really relieved at how well she took care of him, cleaned his box, played and gave him treats and lots of love. She sent regular photos and updates, and just really gave us peace of mind that he was looked after like he was her own.”
“Tina did a fantastic job of taking care of my 5 cats. One of my cats Homie gets lonesome without people and she made sure he got all the snuggles and love that he needed. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing that all my cats were in good hands.”
