“I appreciate Kennedy so much for checking in on my cat and feeding her. Kennedy was very nice and followed the instructions for my shy kitty. I would absolutely book with her again.”

About: I have always had a pet, and was a dog groomer for two years, as well as became certified. I worked at a pet store for 3 years! I am available 24/7 for pet sitting. They will never be left alone in my care, as well as going on walks whenever you’d like! My cat is my baby so I completely understand how loved your pets are, and will be sure to give them the same amount of love.
“Taylor is great with our dog and she communicates so well from the time of booking to post visits. She also has been available last minute when we desperately needed help. Highly recommended Taylor!”

“Josh did a wonderful job taking care of Mali. Mali took to Josh right away when he came for his meet visit which really put our mind at ease. He went above and beyond taking care of her. This was our first time using a rover but I will not hesitate to use Josh again. Mali was happy and well taken care of when we got home from our trip.”

About: I've been pet-sitting for five years for family and neighbors, and loved every minute of it! I worked at a pet store for multiple years and am very knowledgeable in everything pet related. If you need help with amphibians, reptiles, or small animals, I'm also knowledgeable and able to pet-sit them! I am currently a full-time college student but will always have time for your pets! I will be busy with classes for roughly three hours a day and working during the evening on most days. Weekends I do not have classes but will still have work. Please message me for any questions about scheduling around my work and school. I am unable to watch any pets in my home, however I am always open to taking care of any pets somewhere else. I will be able to give lots of love and walks to pets who need it!
“Kayla F, who did drop-in visits for my girl dog Luna, was great. She gave Luna extra attention and love, and sent pictures and updates from each visit. I would definitely use her again.”

About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve worked with playful puppies, shy rescues, and older dogs who need a slower, more gentle approach. I’m especially patient and attentive, whether that means reinforcing basic training, sticking to a detailed routine, or just giving extra cuddles and reassurance. What makes me different is how much I truly treat every pet like family. I don’t just “watch” pet, I bond with them. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. I am currently a graduate student doing all online classes, so my schedule can quite be flexible! I have reliable transportation as well. I only have hour long workouts that can be moved to whatever time preferred. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or specific preferences, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. Safety is always a top priority. I’m careful to secure doors and entry points to prevent escapes, keep the environment clean and hazard-free, and respect any household rules you have in place. I also pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice if anything seems off.

About: I have grown up with two dogs and two cats my whole life. I have helped my neighbor with their dog a few times, but I have mainly helped my parents the most. When they are gone on weekends or even for long weeks, I will watch all of our animals and help take care/look after them during the times they are gone. I have put 3 years of experience because I didn't start helping out as much till the end of high school and into college. I do work a part time summer job. My availability can change day to day. Reach out and I can be as flexible as possible. I have two dogs who are well fed and taken care of. I tend to play with them as much as possible and lay with them and give cuddles. My cats get the same treatment and all the animals are very very spoiled when it comes to toys, food, and love.
“Mirelsa is amazing! She has been watching my dog for over a year now and I appreciate everything she has done for my dog and me so much! She truly cares about him and his well being. She gives me great updates throughout the day and sends lots of pictures. She quickly responds to messages and requests! She is flexible. I always have peace of mind knowing she is taking great care of my dog while I am at work! I would definitely recommend her to others!”

“Corrinn did a great job with our cats! She was very responsive, always made sure to keep us updated, and sent plenty of pictures. We knew our fur babies were in great hands with Corrinn!”

“Regan was an amazing pet sitter. The first time she came her key wouldn’t work and she came multiple times to keep trying and for the locksmith. She stayed extra long with my kitties, played with them, gave thorough updates and lots of pictures. We are so grateful for everything she did and more, it was so reassuring when we were gone for a week!”

About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up in a home full of dogs and cats, and helping care for them was such a big part of my life growing up. I now have a cat of my own, my fur baby, Fish 🐱 I recently graduated from PA school and won’t be starting my job until August, which means I have lots of availability this summer! Spending my days with animals honestly sounds like the perfect way to spend the season. I’d love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your pets! (: I don’t start work until August, so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of availability! I do have one week-long vacation planned this summer, but aside from that, my schedule is very flexible. I’d prefer to handle most pet care during the week, but I’m available on weekends as well! 😊 It’s a single-story home, so I’m always nearby and able to keep a close eye on any pets in the house. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play!
