“Karina is such a joy to talk to and is so great with my pets. She made sure they were cared for and loved. For walks/ playtime they would always greet her at the door. I always got pictures and didn’t have to worry about their well being. Highly recommend 😌”
“Vanessa was the best! I had a cancellation last minute and I was so stressed trying to find someone to watch my babies! It was fast confirmation, and easy communication with Vanessa. She was very attentive and followed all the directions I left while going above and beyond for my animals. would send updates and pictures along with detailed notes of what happens. I really appreciated this and it felt like I was there with them! I honestly can’t say enough good things about Vanessa and I am so thankful that I was able to book her.

“Absolutely great job!! I would highly recommend and would 100% have Melanie watch my dog again 🙏”
“Madison has been great every time she’s let our dog out. We go on last minute getaways often and she’s always there to help us out when our family can’t. We appreciate her!”
About: I’ve cared for critters including opossums, cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, pigs, chickens & more! I have such a deep love for animals, which makes caring for them never feel like a job. Pets left in my care are in the best care possible. I am currently working part time, which makes it very easy to care for animals at the same time. My longest shifts are 8 hour days on Sundays & I usually have 3 whole days off per week. I typically do whatever makes the pet and the owner most comfortable, such as regular drop-in’s, overnight stays at the pets home, sleeping next to the pet. I keep up with any typical needs of the pet such as bathing, walking, etc. and I also like to keep the owner updated and send photos.
“Kaylee was very accommodating and flexible. She gave great updates and took excellent care of our furbabies! Would definitely book with her again and highly recommend that you do the same!”
About: I’ve always had pets of most kinds since I was young. If you’re not a pet person your not my kind of person. Lol I I do work a 7:30-3:30 M-F job as an elementary teacher, but my own children are grown and on their own and I have spare time in the evenings and weekends and thought this would be fun. I also have summers free. I have 2 dogs of my own. They are “cat and dog friendly.” We often visit the local dog park and my dogs are very social.
“Perfect pet sitter! Will use every time.”
About: I have been taking care of animals of all kinds for over 10 years for friends and family and I think this service is a great outlet for both me and you. Available 7 days a week. Let’s work together to help both you and your furry family and I will strive to give the support and help wherever it is needed. I can easily stay at residence full time if needed for your pet if needed. Provide multiple daily check-ins depending on my current scheduled clients. Walks, simply play time, feeding, potty breaks, and check ins.
“Cassie is the best. She was on time every day and really seemed to get my pets personalities right away. I felt completely at ease with her at my home and in charge of my animals. Cassie also helped me navigate the Rover app when my plans changed.”
About: I have always loved dogs. Growing up we always had two. As an adult I am dog mom to a 12 yr old Lab Doberman who is the sweetest. I have been dog sitting though my entire adult life all ages and sizes! I do currently work full time Monday through Thursday. If your house is close enough I am always able to stop in on my lunch for a mid day break. Unfortunately I am not able to have any friends come stay at my house. At your house though I will follow whatever rules you have. I do enjoy a house that lets the dog be part of the family on furniture and beds:) just like everyone else.

We have continued to use her services even if it was only for a night or two. Thank you Sara!”
