“During the biggest event of our lives, we couldn’t imagine better caretakers than Alison & Tom. We are grateful to have found you, and know that our girl adores your company. Thank you, again!”



“Alison is absolutely wonderful with my geriatric, diabetic dog. She is knowledgeable about giving her insulin so I never have to worry when I’m out of town. She is very thorough with instructions and getting our plan of care in place every time to ensure my pup will be safe and healthy. And my sweet girl totally loves her! I know she gets wonderful attention and snuggles when Alison is there!”


“Taffney did a great job tending to our cats. We appreciated the updates and photos. She even took care of some kitty throw up! Highly recommended.”


“Cindy was the best! She took care of my fur babies like they were her own. She provided detail notes and pictures. I loved reading the notes. Thank you so much.”



“Mary Anne took care of my 16 year old cat Suzy for two plus weeks while we were out of the country. She did an excellent job of keeping her fed and litter box control etc. She also took care of many extras without our asking like taking out our trash on garbage day. She also did some watering for me. I highly recommend Mary Anne.”



“I hired Justin to care for both my kitties while I was gone for a weekend. One of my girls needs medication 2 x daily. Justin did an amazing job taking care of both cats!! In fact, one who is extremely shy and skittish was all over Justin!😻 And my sick kitty was happy and healthy when I returned. He’s s cat whisperer!!!😺😺 I had many photos of the cats on his visits to my house, and an ongoing report on the details of the care they received. Thank you Justin for putting my mind and soul at ease!! You did an outstanding job!!☺️”


“Great with the pups! Prompt and excellent communication. Also went above and beyond by bringing in our many packages that were delivered while we were away. : )”


“This was my first time using Rover to find a cat sitter, and I feel so lucky to have chosen Molly. Her gentle and friendly demeanor was a great fit for my two cats. Molly came over for a meet ‘n’ greet and both my cats approached her without hesitation to say hello, with my senior kitty flopping on the rug next to her, purring as Molly petted her. Throughout my short vacation, Molly sent me photos and written updates, which gave me great peace of mind. I could see by the photos that both cats were happy and continuing their usual routines. When I returned from my trip, the kitties were happy to see me, but not clingy or needy, which showed me they got lots of love and attention while I was away. The house was tidy and overall Molly did a wonderful job. I will absolutely book her again in the future. She is trustworthy and caring. Paws up for Molly!”


About: I have lived with and cared for dogs my whole life. Our family dog passed a year ago and caring for my son’s dog has made me realize how much I love having dogs around. I am retired, so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups. I am available for boarding seven days a week. I have a fenced yard with ample room for play. Your furry friend will love the fresh air. The yard is a partially shaded space with grass.

“Veronica was so kind. She went above and beyond and loved on our pups. It relived any Anxiety I had for being away from them all day. They are usually home during the day with my husband but we both had very busy schedules and we knew it would be hard to give them the attention they needed. Veronica took them on walks and played with them. I was thrilled. I will definitely be calling her again.”


“Lucinda was a great friend to our cats, sent us detailed updates, and was helpful when one of our cats was hiding out. We will definitely book with Lucinda again in the future!”


“Went on a last minute trip and junehe really came through for us. Our puppy is still in training and likes to try to escape, so she did a great job keeping him focused and he got great walks. He was super happy and very tired. We love her!”


“Liz was GREAT! Even my people picky pup loves her. She took great care of our 3 pups but especially the one who was 3 weeks post back surgery. We're definitely going to be using her again.”


About: My Pet Care Experience I’ve had a lifelong love for animals, caring for many cats and dogs over the decades, starting as a young child. Whether it's in my home or yours, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I offer both in-home pet care and visits—stopping by to walk your pet, give them a needed relief break, or simply provide companionship while you're away. With experience in fostering through the Humane Society, I understand each pet’s unique needs and provide the love and attention they deserve. What Sets Me Apart I treat your pet like family—because to me, they are. With a calm, pet-friendly home and years of hands-on experience, I provide the same level of love, patience, and attention I give my own animals. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. As someone who works from home and loves taking walking breaks, I enjoy being outdoors and would be thrilled to bring your pet along with me for a walk. If your pet prefers to stay at home, I’m happy to stop by to give them a break, provide attention, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. With years of experience caring for pets, I understand the importance of personalized care and giving your furry friend the love and attention they deserve. My one-story, fenced yard is perfect for keeping an eye on pets while they enjoy some fresh air. I live near beautiful walking paths, providing plenty of new territory for exploration and positive mental stimulation. Plus, there are several local shops that welcome animals, where your pet can get a treat and enjoy positive social interactions. Whether it's a walk, playtime, or just a break in the yard, your pet will feel loved and cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals in many different settings. From dog walking to house sitting multiple pets for up to a week, I’ve had a ton of experience! I am currently part time and am looking to fill some empty days in my summer home from college by hanging out with some pets! I have had experience taking care of pets with and without a fenced yard, walking pets of all kinds of sizes/temperaments and am comfortable working with any housing setting you may have.

Trish’s nurturing nature and kindness shine through in every interaction. She always takes the time to connect with our pup and ensures they feel comfortable and happy during their walks. Not only is she incredibly caring, but she’s also highly professional, always showing up on time and providing updates with photos and notes after each walk. I can tell that our dog looks forward to their time with Trish, and it brings me peace of mind knowing they’re in such great hands.

Emma L.
“Emma is quite exceptional at caring for and dealing with dogs! She has a lot of knowledge and experience with various breeds of all shapes and sizes, and will treat every dog with the utmost respect and love. She truly enjoys working with and being around her furry friends, and the dogs truly enjoy her too!”


Nina F.
“Nina has been a trusted pet and childcare provider to our family for the last six years. First taking care of our young daughter and then house sitting, tending to my garden during the summer months while watching our three cats and dog. The animals needed special attention as not to come into contact with the resident coyotes (specifically the dog while she wandered the within her invisible fenced in area), of our woodland property and daily medications. Also our indoor cats would try to escape and she would pay special attention not to leave doors or windows allowing this access, something someone who is often not familiar with one's particular household might do! She was also quite detailed with my dog's daily medication and all four pets eating schedules and watering machine. I highly recommend her.”
