“Aimee was wonderful. This was my first time using Rover, and I wanted to make sure that she and my dog clicked, so she was able to meet my dog ahead of time, which really eased my worry. Aimee did a wonderful job getting my dog out for a break and keeping me informed. I will definitely reach out to her again.”


“Jasper is incredibly attentive and has a true love for animals. We've had him watch our dogs a couple of times now, and he has done a wonderful job making them feel loved and taken care of while we're away.”


“Cynthia was very responsive and had great communication. She took lots of pictures during her walk with Freya, proving what a great time they had!”


“Christi was wonderful with my two needy dachshunds. She was very punctual, communicative, and flexible. Her consistent updates and photos gave me so much peace of mind while I was away! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Melissa was so lovely, understanding, and attentive to my cat, Blake's, needs. During each visit, she tok the time to play with him and take pictures to send them to me. Her reports were very thorough and Blake really seemed to have a pleasant time with her. She even left a little note welcoming us home when we got back (: We will definitely be keeping her in mind for the next time Blake needs a sitter!”


“Zachary checked in our kitties while we’re were away - even went over an extra time when the automatic feeder wasn’t connecting to the app anymore. Very responsive and caring.”


“Katie was amazing!!! Best cat sitter we’ve ever had. Even our very shy cat came out and was comfortable with her. She went above and beyond just feeding them and made sure we had absolutely no worries about them while we were gone. Very communicative, sent plenty of photos and cared for them well. I would highly recommend her.”


“Just the BEST and kindest pet sitters ever! Tammy and Danielle help us with our pets frequently and always go above and beyond to show our pets loving kindness while we are gone. Can’t beat them!”


“This was our first time to meet Lily. She dropped in on our cat daily for 9 days and came prior to our trip to meet him. Each time she was punctual, pleasant, and professional. She responded quickly as I had questions, and left us a daily photo! He was a happy and well-cared-for boy when we got home. We’ll definitely reach out to Lily again when we travel. Thanks so much!”


“Took excellent care of my cat, Opal! Went above and beyond!”


“Excellent with dogs, she was very detailed oriented and truly cared about getting every aspect of their daily routine down.”


About: Thank you for visiting my profile. I've been around dogs for most of my life and know that pets are and important part of the family. It's my priority to make you comfortable about trusting me with your pet(s). I'm caring, dependable, energetic, and look forward to taking care of your family member! I keep my availability up to date on the calendar. I'm available for short or extended visits and walks in the evenings and on weekends. No breed preferences. I'm open to taking walks or going for a run on nearby trails or sidewalks depending on your dog's ability and/or energy level.

“If you only want the best for your pet, Ami is it. Everything from start to finish with her has been nothing short of outstanding. She is reliable, compassionate, and her energy is so calming. My dog Luna had just been diagnosed with kidney disease, and I was overwhelmed. Ami came over to administer subQ fluids, which have been a struggle for me to do on my own because it was so stressful for my dog. Ami taught me things the vet never mentioned, so that the experience was less stressful for Luna, such as warming the bag of fluids, the position to hold my dog in and how to distract her with treats. She even recommended needles that are thinner, and I was amazed my dog didn’t even react when she poked her! She is also working with me on a specialty diet specifically for CKD which is already helping with her nausea and appetite. I am so relieved to have found Ami - she is an invaluable resource, and true animal whisperer. And our kitties approve too, they absolutely love her! Thanks again Ami!!!”


“Colleen did an amazing job with my rambunctious girl! I could tell my pup instantly bonded with her. She sent lots of pics, videos, and details to keep me updated throughout the visit. It means a lot to find someone I can trust to care for my dog and I’m so thankful I found Colleen!”

This was the second time Aimee cared for my 5 cats. She has been great and sends pics and let me know which ones she sees and which ones she does not each visit. Will definitely use again. 😻

Tara was on time and communicated well. Ozzie had a nice long walk and even got to play for over the amount of time I booked Tara for…will be using her again!!!

Katrina was wonderful! She stepped in to help at the very last minute on a holiday weekend (sight unseen even)! She was great about sending lots of pictures and updates. Will definitely book with her again!

Amazing! Sent photos of my pup while I was gone. He seemed so happy. Great with communication. 10/10

Alayna was amazing! She responded to my request right away and set a meet and greet with my pup who instantly liked her. She took great care of her with a good mix of walk/play time and cuddles. Alayna is also very knowledgeable about dog care and working on commands. I highly recommend her!

Katelynn is fantastic! We utilize her services when I’m traveling for work and our dog needs a mid-day potty break. She is always prompt and responsive and sends the best photos of our sweet boy. Bear loves her and we are so fortunate to have Katelynn to help us.

Laurie is excellent with my fur baby, Ava. Patient. Laurie is easy to work with, and flexible. This is the first pet sitter my cat allowed to be picked up. I highly recommend Laurie.

Diana has been great with our dog. Our dog is not very trusting at first, but is warming up to Diana very quickly.

Colleen is amazing. My pups instantly liked her and loved all the attention she gave them daily. Often times they are anxious and don't eat well when we're gone, but they were so comfortable and happy with Colleen that they had little to no anxiety. We are grateful to have found such a great person to take care of our pups when we have to leave them home. Thank you, Colleen!!
