“Jenny is the best!!! Always had our cat looking forward to her visits and we enjoyed the pictures/comments. Gave us ease of mind while we were away and she also looked after our snake!! The updates provided let us know our cats mood and eating habits.”


“Megan did great with my cats. They’re usually a little shy with new people but looks like they were comfortable with her right away. If the cats are happy and content then I’m happy, will book Megan again!”



“Shawnna is a fantastic pet sitter! Very communicative, flexible, and super willing to help. Have worked with Shawnna now on multiple weeks of visits and everything has gone great. Will use again for sure.”


About: i’ve taken care and have lived with dogs for all of my life being a part of someone’s home and taking care of someone’s dog or pet is something I want to accomplish to give the owner a peace of mind to know their animal is in good hands. I work part time for a swim school, teaching kids how to swim for their safety. Once I’m home, I make sure my own animals get their love and attention. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and have a fenced backyard. In your own home would be most fitting however, and would provide proper pet necessities

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is mt attention to detail and my surroundings. When coming in and out of houses, I am aware of what doors are open so no pets get out. While on walks, I am checking for other animals so pets don’t dart out or get into an unsafe circumstance. I always prioritize safety and happiness while pets are in my care! I am a college student who works during the weekdays. Rover is another way for me to pick up extra “shifts” in between school and work! I will ensure all safety expectations are met while at a clients home. I want to make sure not only that they are physically safe but that all pets feel safe when I walk into their home!

About: I care for every animal as if they were my own and genuinely love meeting and connecting with all kinds of pets. I take the time to learn each animal’s unique quirks, routines, and preferences to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can stay connected with your fur baby while you’re away. I’ve raised my own pup since he was a tiny puppy, so I’m very familiar with the energy, patience, and attention dogs need at every stage. I currently work part-time at Starbucks and am looking to spend my free time doing something I truly love — caring for animals! I’m happy to give your pet all the attention they need, such as long walks and play time as often as they need to stay comfortable and happy. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their usual routine so they feel safe and relaxed. I will follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully, and make sure they get lots of love, playtime, and cuddles. I also keep the home clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was young. I have pets of my own and would walk other dogs in the neighborhood. I have cared for all ages from puppies to senior dogs. I also have experience caring for cats and rabbits. I have two dogs that are now 11 and 13. My cats are 2 and 14. I am home from college for the summer so I am available anytime and any day. I will be available anytime until the end of August. Your animals will be my number one priority. I take great care of my animals and plan to do the same with yours. I will be sure to create a safe and loving environment for your pets.

About: I absolutely love every single pet. They all have my heart. I’ve cared for cats and dogs ever since I was five years old, from feeding and bathing them to simply keeping them company. I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family for years. I also have an anxious little dog of my own, so I understand how important patience, routine, and gentle care can be—especially when administering medication or offering comfort. Every animal I meet is treated like family. Thank you for considering me to be a part of your pet sitting needs. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I have pets of my own. I make sure they’re walked, fed, and cared for every single day. From early morning potty breaks to evening cuddle time, I’m used to sticking to a consistent routine. I also handle grooming, playtime, and administering medication when needed. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s a natural part of my everyday life. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their routine as closely as possible—walks, feedings, bathroom breaks, playtime, and rest are all done on schedule. I always pay attention to their behavior and body language so I can meet their needs, especially if they’re feeling anxious or shy. I clean up after them, keep their space tidy, and give lots of affection and attention. Every pet gets treated like family, no matter where they are.

About: Hi! I’m Jayden — your future trusted sitter :) I grew up in a house full of animals — 7 cats, 5 dogs, 2 rabbits, 2 guinea pigs, and 3 birds — so caring for pets is second nature to me. From a young age, I’ve been surrounded by furry friends of all kinds, and I genuinely love building trust and connection with every animal I care for. I also have experience managing a variety of pet medical and health needs, including administering medications, helping with senior or special needs pets, and recognizing signs of discomfort or illness early on. Your pet's well-being and routine will always be my top priority. I'm calm, clean, responsible, and I treat every home with deep respect. Whether you need someone to cuddle your pets while you're away or maintain a peaceful, organized home, I’m here to make sure everything is exactly how you left it — or even better :) Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm. Whether I’m on a sit or at home, I structure my day around the needs of the animals I’m caring for — from morning walks and mealtimes to play, medication, and wind-down routines. Pet care is my full-time focus and something I truly love. Because this is what I do full-time, I’m able to give pets the consistency, attention, and companionship they deserve throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. I love creating calm, predictable environments for pets, and I adapt easily to their unique personalities and routines. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs extra stimulation or a senior cat who just wants a cozy companion, I’m there to make their day comfortable, fun, and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize consistency, comfort, and clear communication. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine — including feeding times, walks, play, medication, and sleep habits — so they feel safe and secure while you're away. I treat every home with deep respect, keeping things clean, quiet, and organized. I’m mindful of energy and noise levels, especially with more sensitive pets, and I always make sure they have fresh water, mental stimulation, and lots of affection (if they want it!). Because this is my full-time work, I’m present and attentive throughout the day — not just dropping in. You can expect daily updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how things are going. Whether your pet needs calm companionship, playful energy, or medical support, I adapt to their needs and treat them like family.

About: Most my life has had domestic, exotic, and wild animals in it - I should've been a vet 🤣 I engage the breed's particular play styles for mental stimulation, get them involved and active, and though I've never professionally taught as a trainer I did foster a service dog and am always getting friend's pets/wild animals to do tricks or behavior work. Have helped birth litters of cats and dogs, and have properly managed a few other small medical treatments. Each pet is unique and I am happy to work with you to get the best supportive care for your furry family members - looking forward to helping with short or long walks, mild grooming, basic obedience work, feedings/medication aid, and can discuss short term sitting. My schedule is currently open! Routine is the best regulator of pets' behavior and I would love to arrange reoccurring visits with you depending on your pets' needs. Currently booking for short or long visits at any time. In home: Keep breakables/chewables up away from their level/area, teach good boundaries (off/out certain areas), and always double-check locks/doors/gates. Quick look for any stress signs like chewing/scratching, h2o and temperature check. A safe home den is important! I clean dishes & tools after feeding & grooming. I like to do a positive-affirmation dominance exercise at their bed to encourage bonding and discipline - would love to teach you this easy training trick too! Out-of home: Depends on the pets' training level, but ALWAYS err on the side of caution! Always use leashes, looped around the arm and anchored with the other hand, and I encourage single-side-only walking. Able to effectively manage social situations for your anxious ones. I stay very involved while at off-leash parks to maintain good recall and keep safe watch. Hydration and local no-animal laws are watched closely too!
