“Justin was amazing. Followed instructions, was timely and took some really great photos with every check in. He went above and beyond what we expected of a cat sitter. While we were away there was a leak caused by our AC unit, he not only took precautions to contain the leak but continued to monitor and control it with every check in. Because of him we returned not only to a happy kitty but also an undamaged home.”


“Priscilla was amazing. I can't say enough about how well she took care of our three kitty boys. She showed up on time every day, gave us daily reports on how they were doing. Priscilla is awesome. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants their furry loved ones to be well cared for! Thank you so much, Priscilla!”



“Kim is like a beloved auntie to my fur babies. She’s very engaged in their comfort, activities and care, and sends me lots of pics showing they’re doing well in my absence. I trust Kim explicitly.”


“Hunter went above and beyond while caring for our three cats for this past week. When the storm was approaching, she texted me to see if I wanted her to put our water bowls in case the power went out. It did, and she did put water out. From the pics, I could tell that Emma warmed up to Hunter right away. Iris got her pills even though she was skittish. Thank you, Hunter, for taking care of the kids.”


“Super happy with how communicative Loren was. She was patient with my little princess and spent a lot of time playing with her. I will definitely recommend Loren as well as book her again!”


“Theresa was so wonderful with our 2 dogs. We had her do drop-in visits at our home while we were away. She fed them, let them outside, gave them treats, played with them and sat with them for a while. She left pictures and videos each time and she was so great, highly recommend!!”


“My husband and I knew upon meeting Tara for the first time that she was the perfect fit with our cat, Charlie. Charlie is very shy and usually hides when people come to visit. However, this was not the case when Tara entered our home. Tara did a top-notch job taking care of Charlie during her drop in visits over a period of one month. We were so happy when she sent up pictures and updates. Tara is reliable, kind, professional, and a true animal lover. Cats can be messy with the litter, etc. But with Tara on the job, we came home to a very neat home and well-fed, content cat. We will definitely seek Tara services again. Furthermore, we highly recommend her. Thanks a million, Tara.”


About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as friends and family dogs for years now. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, as well as all personalities. I am familiar with low energy and high energy breeds, and know how to cater to each of them. I also specialize in dogs that have anxiety as well as reactivity, and know how to monitor their behavior and understand them in a way that most humans and other animals do not. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday so all animals would need to be able to be home alone for around 8-9 hours during the weekdays. My current hours are 6:30am-3pm, so I make a point to be available in the morning before I leave for work, and then after I return from work. This also applies to drop-ins. I make a point to be fully available on weekends since I am away often during the weekdays, but am also home early enough during the week that I can spend the afternoon, evening, and night with your furry little ones. I will care for your pets by following the owners’ and pets’ needs, I never stray from instructions. I will ensure safety precautions are always taken, as your animals safety is my highest priority.


“We're so glad we were able to book Kristy and Chris to do drop-ins for our cat while we were on vacation over the weekend. Kristy and Chris were extremely professional and took detailed notes on the instructions to care for Pemi. We really appreciate their courtesy and timeliness. Would highly recommend them to anyone else in the area!”


About: Hi, I'm Rusty! I've spent my entire life caring for dogs and truly believe that pets are family, deserving only the best walks and care. With experience handling a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and needs, I’m ready to offer your dog the attention they deserve. As a recent retiree, I now have the time and passion to help your pups live their best life! 🐶 I have recently retired, so I have a very flexible schedule! I am available for dog walks and drop-in visits on weekdays between 8:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. I treat dogs with the same love and care as any family member. Each day, I ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Whether it's a morning walk or playtime in the yard, I make sure they’re always happy and comfortable. I am attentive to their individual needs, providing them with a routine that keeps them healthy and active. I also make sure the dogs have fresh water at every visit. Above all, I believe in building a strong bond based on trust, love, and mutual respect, making sure they feel safe and loved every single day.

“We were so happy to find Marissa! She was loving, responsible and developed a wonderful rapport with all our cats. She has great instincts and is an excellent communicator. I can’t say enough good things about her!”


“Kiera was available on relatively short notice for a drop in. She spent time with my pup and sent along plenty of pictures. Everything was put back exactly as it was left, she was great!”


“Jasmine was great! Both of my dogs are nervous with new people so I requested to do a drop-in visit before she stays for an overnight with them while I’m away. She was very gentle and patient to gain their trust and even brought them some treats! I am confident that my pets will be well taken care of when I go out of town.”


“Rhys did a wonderful job taking care of our cats. He was reliable and conscientious. He handled my reluctant eater well and was communicative at all times. I highly recommend him!”


About: I have been around dogs my whole life, I took animal science in High school and worked in dog related jobs for about 5 years. I currently have five of my own fur babies. 3 pups and 2 cats I currently am out of work for the summer and I have open availability. Late August I will return to work as a preschool teacher and will be available evenings and weekends. I will take care of your dog as if they were my own, following all the requirements that you set up before hand. Giving your dog all my attention and love.


“Lynsey is absolutely phenomenal! She took fabulous care of our wonderful cat, Inga, who is often shy with new people. Lynsey made Inga feel comfortable immediately and this continued for the entire time we were away. Lynsey was reliable, communicative, and it was a true privilege to work with her. We'd give her ten stars if we could, and cannot.say enough good things about her.”


About: I have been dog sitting for multiple families for around 10 years now. I am 27 years old and work full time. Beginning January of 2025, I will also be starting school (mostly online). Before booking, PLEASE read my schedule posted below. I am available for overnight stays. I love taking care of animals and I have a handful of references I can share with you. Please feel free to ask for the references or any other questions you may have. Thank you. My work schedule: Sundays 9am-4pm Mondays 9am-6pm Tuesdays 9am - 6pm Wednesdays off Thursdays 8am - 2pm Fridays 9am - 7pm Saturdays 9am- 6pm ***Schedule may vary*** please contact me for more info. If you’re close enough, I could potentially stop by on my lunch breaks halfway through the day. Please contact me about my schedule. My schedule does vary, some days might be shorter/longer depending on the week. If you live close enough, I could potentially provide quick drop ins on my lunch breaks halfway through the day. I prefer to care for pets in the clients’ home. Animals are more comfortable when they are on their own territory and are sticking with their familiar routine and surroundings. I like to meet with all my clients in person before pet sitting, so I can get to know them, their pet, their pets’ routine and needs, and also allow the pet to get familiar with me so they aren’t overwhelmed when I first come over!

“Kimberlly was amazing! I would definitely recommend if you are looking for someone trustworthy, responsive and very attentive to you and your fur babies’ needs. I requested her on extremely short notice (within 3-4 hours) and on busy holiday. I was worried that my new automatic feeder stopped working for my kitty while I was away. She not only responded promptly but arrived at my place within 15 minutes to save my kitty. If it hadn’t been for her, I’m not sure if I would’ve received the same care for Majikku. Kimberlly was very sweet upon arrival to my shy kitty. She checked Majikku’s water fountain levels, and fixed her food issue. She even refreshed her litter.Thanks Rover for providing this service and thank you Kimberlly for giving me peace of mind! x”
