“Lauren was open to a thorough meet and greet prior to watching our two kitties, and she took the biggest weight off our shoulders while we were away. She sent plenty of updates, gave them their favorite treats, and lots of loving and play time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving them like your own! They’ll be excited to see you next time!”
“It was great to have Cori drop in on my pup. She was very patient with his high energy. She followed all instructions and I didn't have to worry about how my pup was doing”
“Myah did a wonderful job with our Stella! When I walked in, Stella was like "oh you're here," which is the perfect and desired response when any of us return. Stella should know she is safe at home and whoever walks through that door will take care of her. And Myah did very well, meeting our girl's needs in our neighborhood. Will definitely rebook!”
About: I am a married mother with a 14 year old daughter and a 17 year old son. I also have 2 cats and a sweet 8 year old pit mix. Animals and animal rescue are my passion and I have been watching friends' and neighbors' dogs in my home for years. I have a fenced in backyard and my cats and dog are good with dogs. I would be willing to host dogs for over night stays, weekends or week-long vacations. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs since I was born! My mother is a hopeless dog rescuer just like me and I have always had multiple dogs in my home. Meet my pets I have 2 cats and 1 dog About my yard My back yard is completely fenced in. There is a long flat grassy area and a big hilly area for them to run. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering oral medications. I currently work from home most of the time so I will be around to make sure your dog gets lots of attention and time. I have a fenced in backyard and a friendly, playful dog to keep your dog company. My children are older and really good with dogs.
“At the last minute, I needed someone to care for them for 18 days. I had some trouble with the airline and couldn’t bring my dogs with me on the trip. Daniel was able to help and looked after them while I was away. He kept in touch during his visits, sent pictures, and helped me feel at ease; including holidays visits without any problems. Trusting someone for that long was difficult for me, but Daniel made me feel comfortable and reassured. Would 100% recommend Daniel!”
“I am SO happy to have found Abigail — she is amazing with our cats! This is the second time we have booked her and will continue to be our preferred Rover. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Angelina, and I’ve always had a huge love for animals — honestly, I prefer pets over people sometimes haha! I’ve had my fair share of pets growing up (basically a zoo at home😅), and currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats, so I’m very experienced around furry friends 🐾 I’m very patient, attentive, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I always try my best to match their energy — whether that’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I also make communication a priority and will always send photo updates of your furry friend so you can feel comfortable and connected while away. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I currently work full-time, but I’m typically available in the evenings and weekends! I always make pet care a priority and will make sure your furry friends get plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. I’m very communicative and reliable, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos🐾 I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats at home, so I’m very familiar with managing multiple pets and understanding different temperaments and needs. I always prioritize safe introductions, supervision, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and stress-free.
About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them is truly something I love. Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of hands-on experience through privately dog sitting for friends, family, and repeat clients. From energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and care, I’m comfortable handling a wide range of personalities and needs. More recently, I’ve started working at a kennel, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments every day. This has given me even more experience with feeding routines, exercise, administering basic care, and making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they’re my own — with plenty of attention, affection, and reliable care. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some playtime, or a calm and caring sitter, I’m here to help and make sure they’re happy and well taken care of! I currently maintain a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available most days for walks, drop-in visits, and playtime. This flexibility also enables me to accommodate a variety of routines and provide dependable, consistent care based on your dog’s specific needs. I prefer caring for dogs in their own home environment, where they feel most comfortable. I can come to you and maintain your dog’s normal routine, helping reduce stress and keep them happy.
About: Growing up, I always had pets around my home. From a docile miniature Dachshund to an excitable (perhaps… crazy?) German Shepherd, I have taken care of dogs of various sizes and personalities! I love both over-excitable pups and older dogs who need extra support and care. In the past, I have spent time volunteering with Mastiffs to Mutts Rescue to transport rescue dogs from their foster homes to their forever homes, so I have experience handling very large dogs! I currently have two gray tabbies (a bonded pair of sisters) and grew up with other feline friends. I understand the kind of care they need when their favorite humans are away, whether they are skittish or brave adventurers! I'm currently a music teacher in Washington County, so I am tend to only take clients over holidays and throughout the summer months. I am also available on most weekends with at least 2 days notice. I live in a small home with my own cats, so I am not available for pet-sitting in my own home. However, I have experience pet-sitting and house-sitting and take extra care when in someone’s home. Security and safety of your pet and home is my first priority. I am more than willing to share updates and photos of your pet or home with you to ease any worries you may have while away from your furry friends!
“Wallis was the best sitter for our two cats while we were on vacation! She took the time to meet our girls before caring for them and even got our shy cat to come out of our shell around her. We can tell that she cared about our cats like they were her own and will definitely have her watch our cats again in the future if able!”
“Marissa was great! I highly recommend! She was right on time and gave my dogs plenty of time outside and gave them treats too. They were happy and well cared for when I got home. Thanks Marissa!”
“Erica was great with my dogs! She was super attentive and let me know everything that was going on while I was away. She even brought toys for my girls to keep. She is lovely and I highly recommend her!”
“Matthew went above and beyond to care for our 3 cats. He followed instructions, but also brought in packages for us and cleaned the cats' dirty dishes which wasn't at all expected. I definitely recommend him!”
“Katie is very thorough and respectful of my home. I can tell she cares about my dog even just checking in on him while I'm at work. Very detailed notes and follows instructions giving me for me special needs pooch. Will hire again”
“Mary watched my cat Binx for five days and was incredibly attentive and detailed in her check-ins which is always so appreciated. My boy can be picky about who he likes and he seemed to warm up to her quickly. Great communication and she definitely helped my peace of mind while I was away!”

Lindsey looked after our two senior dogs while we were away for a week. This was our first time having someone do drop ins at our house instead of taking our dogs to boarding and Lindsey made the experience super easy - her updates were thorough and made us feel at ease with something that was new to us. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Kathleen is so great with Lucy, who can be a shy anxious cat. She has been attentive to the specific requests I’ve asked her to report on to give me peace of mind while I’m away. I’m so happy to have found someone Lucy feels happy and safe with. Every day she’s sent me photos of a contented cat!
I was so worried about leaving my cat who just had emergency surgery for a trip I couldn't postpone, but when I saw Mary's updates, I knew he was in good hands. Having a great cat sitter calmed my anxieties and allowed me to enjoy my time away. Thanks again for doing such a great job taking care of Oscar!
Caralyn was absolutely amazing!! She took excellent care of our two cats while we were away. She’s a great communicator, and sent us daily updates on how the girls were doing. We really appreciated her gentle, compassionate approach with them, and know they were well taken care of! We would definitely book Caralyn again :)
We are so thankful to have found Kasey and Alyssa! They are amazing. Very warm and friendly and know what they are doing. Our dogs took to them immediately. We feel so relieved to have found a good fit for what we were looking for in help with drop-in visits (people who know and understand older dogs, who have great communication and are kind). We will definitely be making more repeat bookings. Thank you both for being PAWsome!🐾
