“Thank You so much Emily! We appreciate your flexibility with our additional visit requests and look forward to see Bruce on your Facebook page! Our son is so proud of his “kitty star”!”


“We met with Grace to house sit for us. We had to cancel our trip but plan to use her in the future. She’s a very nice person and seems interested in taking the best possible care of our dogs. We had some scheduling issues online and she was very patient working that out.”


“Carter took great care of our dog. He gave home extra time and attention and he was an excellent communicator as well.”


“Nancy to the rescue! One day into our trip I realized I had booked Nancy for the incorrect days. When I contacted her she she modified our reservation and went over the same day to take care of our girls. We appreciate her so much!”


About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 4. I’ve had dogs, cats, and other small creatures. I do well with grooming, bathing, walks, and car rides. I’m currently doing online college. So I’m home all day! I have a fenced in yard for your fur babies. Hope to hear from you soon! I have a fenced in yard, leashes, to keep your fur baby safe. Plenty of access to walk and shade, and beds! Big or small

“Ashley took wonderful care of our elderly kitty with drop-in visits at our home.”


“Amy was great with my pups and went out of her way to make sure everything was taken care of for the dogs. Thanks!”


“Melissa was so great with my cat Sapphire. She was able to administer her oral medication and her ear medication, which she hates. And Sapphire is scared of people she doesn't know, and Melissa was able to gain her trust within the quick drop in visit time. She was even super kind enough to bring in our packages that were dropped off while we were gone!”


About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life and now have a german shepherd and blue heeler of my own that keeps life exciting with play and training. I am currently working part time from home so I have plenty of time to care for others pets and am available most days for care such as dog walking, pop-ins, or all day care! I have my own fur babies, a gentle giant german shepherd and a blue heeler and do training with them daily. We have 40 acres so they get plenty of exercise and play time. I keep many different toys and treats in the home for rewards! I am a animal lover and treat my pets like my kids!

About: I have had pets my whole life, but within the past two years I have gained great experience handling difficult dogs professionally and am currently a dog daycare attendant assisting with controlling fifty dogs per session! I have also begun helping with training classes on the weekends. I have two crazy girls myself so im sure can work with your pups and we can have an enriching exercise time. I have two rambunctious dogs that give me a full time job, but plenty of free time to give your pets the care they deserve while you take care of human business! I volunteer at the Humane Society, and seek out animal care opportunities (large and small) to fill my time. I give love and affection to every pet under my care! My two dogs go on many walks and so can yours! I take pets very seriously but not too serious for playtime. I have experience with reactivity, resource guarding, and redirection.

About: As a lifelong animal lover who has cared for everything from birds and fish to dogs and cats since childhood, I understand how important it is for your pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. Currently a pet parent myself and working professional, I bring both personal experience and reliability to your pet's care. My time volunteering at animal shelters has given me hands-on experience with different animal personalities and needs. I know how crucial it is to trust that your pets are receiving attentive, loving care while you're away, which is why I offer dedicated drop-in services that keep your furry (or feathered!) family members happy at home. I'm a teacher, so weekdays the availability for drop-ins would be in the morning, after school and in the evening. On weekends I am available for morning, afternoon and evening. I am a teacher in our local school district and consider myself very trustworthy. I understand there is a high level of trust needed to allow someone to drop into your home and care for your pets. As a pet parent I also understand the need to have a reliable sitter, rather than use a kennel. I hope I can fill that role for your family:)

About: I have cared for all kinds of animals since I could remember, from raccoons, rats, horses, and Guinea pigs to your more normal cats and dogs and lizards. I currently have a pup so I do pet care every day all day. She is a part of my family so she is never lacking when it comes to her care and exercise. I currently live in a townhouse and I don’t have a yard so we go for long walks on the edge of town multiple times a day as well as car rides. In my clients home I use the resources they have available (big yard either fenced or not) or we will just go for walks throughout the day. I make the care of the client the priority.

“I am so thankful I found Amy to do drop in visits for my cat Frankie. She is a great communicator, knowledgeable, and kind. I know I don’t have to worry about Frankie when Amy is caring for her and that is what I look for in a pet sitter! Thanks Amy!! I highly recommend Amy and will reach out to her with future needs!”


About: I am a huge animal lover! I have 3 cats, 2 are 9 years old and 1 is 8 years old, all boys, and I also have a 6 year old black lab. I take my cats outside, take them for walks in there stroller, play with there toys, make frozen tuna snacks, and love them with everything I have they are currently in the cities with my mom. My dog is very active we got for walks everyday, play with all his toys, LOVES to swim/bathtime and he’s a huge water baby. I also make homemade dog treats and ice cream! Anything my pets want they get and would do that for anyone’s pets because they all deserve the best life possible! I treat any animal with love and compassion and can’t wait for your pets to spend time with us! Currently my cats are staying in the cities with my mom and it’s just me my boyfriend and our dog! It fits in my daily schedule from the moment I wake up and until I go to sleep! Breakfast, a few snacks through the day, potty breaks, and supper time. Make sure they are taken care of, feed, potty breaks and play time. I also have a 6 year old black lab at home with me and your fur baby will have someone to keep company as well other than me.

About: I will care for your dog as I would my own! Experienced animal/dog lover, I’ll give your dog time & attention while you are away. I am calmly assertive and responsible and will give your pup hugs & kisses and/or runs and ball-throwing, whatever he/she may need that day. I have a flexible schedule and thought it would be a fabulous way to spend my day ? I am a professional equine bodyworker- so I work with horses on a daily basis. I have had multiple dogs throughout my life. As a matter of fact, I can’t remember a time that I haven’t had a dog. I enjoy dog training shows & interest in dog psychology. In the process of getting my dog certified as a therapy dog. We also have a pet pig named Lola. ☺️ In slower times of the year in my other animal business (specifically winter), I will dedicate time to dog walking when many are not wanting to be outside (cold) but dogs still need exercise. I have (limited) transporting experience also. I bring my dog to a variety of places when I travel & am used to keeping her safe although she listens to commands well & is socialized. I am confident I provide a safe environment for animals.

“Liz is the most passionate person I know when it comes to her love for animals. She has literally risked her life to protect her own dog . Liz has a very deep connection and love for domesticated and non domesticated animals alike. She has had animals in her life since she was born. Prior to her military service she tended to a variety of animals on her parents farm, even now she takes every opportunity that she can get to dog sit for friends. I know for a fact that she has a true calling for animals and will be an excellent addition to Rover and your Doggys! Your pups will fall in love with her! Theres no one better to take care of them!”

Robbi is friendly and caring and it is evident she loves animals in the ways she cares for them. Robbi has gone above and beyond in caring for Lucy and keeping me informed about how my dog is doing.

If you want someone who will care about your pets when you are unavailable I would recommend your give Robbi a call. Thanks”
