“Thank you so much for taking such incredible care of my babies while I was away! Your communication is always amazing, but I am especially grateful for how you handled Ares paw mishap this time. Taking the initiative to get him his meds and make him comfortable meant the world to me. He was already back to his normal self by the time I got home! We will be in contact soon for our next trip we have planned. Thank you again!”


“Cynthia was excellent! She took great care of Millie, who is blind and diabetic, for a week while I was away. She sent me pictures and daily updates. Everything was perfect! Definitely going to be my go-to when I need someone to care for my fur baby just like I would!!”

About: I grew up on a hobby farm with almost any critter you could imagine. We used our space to foster and rehabilitate animals, mostly dogs, cats, and horses. Through working with local humane societies, animal trainers, and breeders I think I have a very good understanding of animal behaviors and how to manage them. Working with animals has been a soul salve in my life and I love guiding animals through all stages of learning. I have slots of time all throughout my week where I am available to walk and check in on pets. Sunday is a free day. Monday and Tuesday I am free after 12, Wednesday-Friday I am free 6am-12, 5pm throughout the evening. Unfortunately at this moment I do not have a space that would allow to to board pets, but I am able to care for pets in their own homes. I am very communicative and I will work with you on your pet's specific needs and requirements, as well as any enrichment activities you would like to try.
“Mattie did a great job watching our 2 dogs. The temperatures were in the upper 90’s-102 degrees while we were gone. She was sure to keep them in and out of the heat but letting them out when needed. I would have her watch our dogs again.”

“She was so good to my girls. She was on time. She sent me pictures of them. She played with them. She was very friendly. I would hire her in a heartbeat. Heather made sure they ate let them out,. I enjoyed her.”

“Justin is amazing! We came in from out of town and he helped us with relatively short notice. He’s genuinely one of the nicest and most thoughtful sitters we’ve ever had. Our pup loved him.”

I’ll be there and you can trust me with your pet, i’ll run around and play with them all day long till there tired I love helping and i want to be someone you can rely on, im opening my schedule and able to check in and watch your pet and go check in between 8am to 4:30 every weekday i’d love to keep your baby comfortable and help you out with no worries in your own home, playing with and following everything you normally do.
About: Hi! I’m Jaden! An animal lover, active homebody, and someone who truly understands how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. 🤍 I strive to create a calm, loving, and comfortable environment where pets feel safe, cared for, and genuinely welcomed.. not just “watched.” Whether your pet loves adventure, playtime, cuddles, slow mornings, or simply having someone nearby, I do my best to match their individual needs and personality. I have experience with both dogs and cats of various ages, temperaments, and energy levels through Rover as well as personal pet care experience. I’m especially attentive to communication and love keeping pet parents updated with thoughtful messages, photos, and little moments throughout their stay so you can feel connected and at ease while away. A little about me: • Active lifestyle — great for walks, play, and enrichment • Calm and patient personality • Clean, cozy, pet-loving environment • Comfortable with routines, medications, and special instructions • Big believer that pets deserve love, structure, and safety I know every animal is different, and I truly care about making sure they feel secure, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! 🐾 I have a pretty flexible work schedule so I can accommodate to most last minute needs. Personal preference would be afternoons for walking dogs but of course any time you need, I will make work! Besides from outdoor play, indoor environmental stimulation is also a priority. I love to snuggle with animals to establish safety and trust. My cat has her own cat tree that she loves as well.
“Lori sat with my cat for 6 days in March 2026. She was very attuned to my cat's needs. She assured me that she would keep my cat's routine to minimize his stress while I was away. The pictures I received from Lori while I was gone showed my cat doing "his normal," and he appeared calm and content. My cat even slept with her one night, as he would have done if I were home! Lori is "pet approved"! Lori left my house as clean as the day I left (even starting the dishwasher), handled a delivery for me, and the most important, graciously stayed an extra night when my flight home got cancelled and I could not get back prior to the end of the scheduled booking! Thank you, Lori!!! You are a life-saver! I will definitely use Lori again!”

“Miranda was one of the best sitters I've had! She had perfect communication and my dogs were so happy when I got home! 10/10 recommend her! She is very sweet and took great care of Benji and Ellie!”

“Zach was an amazing sitter for my pups. They are precious and I expect them to be taken care of with full attention of them. Zach went above and beyond. He was timely in responding if I had a question. He took excellent care of them and checked in often with updates and pics to show me they were happy and content. I will be using Zach whenever I need to go out of town. I would recommend and trust him to all pet owners. Thank you Zach.”


“Lauren is amazing!! She took great care of Maggie AND our home. We are so thankful we found Lauren! She provides great communication prior to staying and sends pictures while you’re away. She takes the time to learn about your dog and the best way to care for them!”

“Very happy with how she took care of our dogs! Very good at communicating with us throughout the entire time, and the dogs seemed to really enjoy having her around. Was respectful of our house and cleaned up after the dogs too!”

“This is the second time we’ve had Rikki for house sitting. We will definitely have her back. She’s considerate, sends messages and pictures every day, and makes sure to thoroughly understand the care instructions. The best part is, Louie is relaxed and happy upon our return.”

“Brittany did a wonderful job watching our two cats. We have a cat who gets anxious when we leave and tends to pee on furniture or clothes if we are gone more than a day or two. We were gone for five days and there were no such incidents thanks to Brittany’s attentive care. Our animals seemed happy and content as if we hadn’t left at all, and it was such a relief to come home to relaxed animals in a clean home. 10/10, thank you Brittany!”

About: I've spent decades taking care of dogs and puppies. More than willing to walk and play with your pooch and do pop-ins. As for the training I do not have any certifications but both of my current dogs have general obedience and tricks as well. I have also trained my GSP personally for upland bird hunting. I am a full time teacher and also have a second job in the summer as well. This will be more if I can fit you guys into my schedule to pick up more hours in the summer. Whatever you need me to do for them I am more than happy to. I will probably not bring them over to board at my home just because I have two dogs and a cat at my house. Just safer to make sure everyone is comfortable.
“Carl absolutely adored Morgan! Morgan sent us pictures of him everyday. We felt so great having someone we could trust watch Carl. We will definitely be calling Morgan in the future!❤️”


About: I had dogs and cats my entire life. From adoption and rescue, I have spent my entire life around pets. I started dog sitting for friend and family before I could even drive, sometimes taking care of 4 dogs and cats for multiple nights. I am currently working part time at my college. Working in the day so I have time to play with your pups in the afternoon. On weekends I hang out with friends when I have plans, but other than that I am open. When I am at your home, I will follow your rules for your pets, whatever they may be. I can crate them if you need, work on training, take them for walks, and give them lots and lots of pets so they know they are loved.
