“Very professional very kind and went above a beyond for Athena. It’s nice to be able to work and know that my beautiful dog is taken care of halfway through the workday. It’s good for her and good for me. Mentally I’m able to focus on work with peace of mind. Her communication is fantastic and she is really good with Athena my German Shepherd.”

“Melanie is fantastic. Everything was exactly as promised. She fed, walked and entertained him as asked and treated him like was her puppy. You can’t ask more than that. Will definitely use her again!!!”

“Lauren was awesome on drop in visits and walks for us. Great communicator who let us know about a plumbing issue that arose while we were gone. We were very happy we booked again with her.”

“We’ve used Ashlea for our high energy puppy as well as our 2 cats and she did a great job! Even when the puppy has some excitement pee problems, no issues 😅 she’s very communicative, punctual, and even helped us out for extra house care duties because of an emergency. Completely dependable :)”

“Taylor is fantastic! She follows through with our personal requests and frequently goes above and beyond. She’s also helped us out in a pinch when flight delays have forced another visit. Highly recommend to anyone who needs a sitter!”


“Rachael was great with our dog Ruthie while we were away. We had a friend staying with her for the week but Rachael helped out with mid day breaks while he was at work. She sent pics every day which made us feel so much better. Would definitely recommend Rachael for your pet sitting needs!”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet lover offering dog walks, cat care, and drop-in visits. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and attention to their individual needs. Whether your dog needs exercise and playtime, your cat needs feeding and companionship, or you need someone reliable to check in while you’re away, I’m here to help. I have experience as a professional dog walker and have had many pets of my own. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’ll always make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. During visits, I can provide fresh water, feedings, potty breaks, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and lots of affection. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pets! I currently work a full time job and am available any time after work around 6 pm on the weekdays. I also have availability on the weekends at any time. I will grow and safe and trusting bond with all animals to assure that they are comfortable and well taken care of during their time with me.
“Mariah is great! My cat is a shy boy and she even managed to get me some photos of him which was so comforting to see he was doing alright. I can't wait to book her again!”

About: Growing up, outside of school I spent a good portion of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter and actively challenging kids around me to help provide care to pets in most need. Over the years, these experiences have translated into a unique skill set of tricks and techniques to provide your pet with the utmost attention and care they deserve. My goal is to offer any pet (cat, dog, any other small animal) under my supervision unparalleled quality of care and a loving home environment. My home is on a 4 Acre plot of land with a fenced yard. The fenced yard allows for free play at least once every 1-2 hours with my supervision. When on leash we can explore the other unfenced portion of the yard or neighborhood. Inside my home my wife and I have partitioned pet safe areas where they can freely roam. I have tons of toys for all sizes and want their stay to be a vacation for them. :) I have two small corgis that are extremely friendly and love to play with new friends. If bringing your animal to my residence is not convenient, I offer a pick up and drop off service for a round trip fee. My goal is to simplify your pet care needs, by providing unparalleled quality care, a loving home environment, and peace of mind that your family member is being taken care of by a loving family I work at home as a front-end software developer, my work schedule is flexible meaning I can provide as much attention as your pet deserves I have a climate controlled room that has doggy doors that allows them to free roam inside and in the yard (with supervision). Most services needed or requested can be accommodated. Pets are allowed to roam inside my home or in my yard with my supervision. I take dogs on at least 3 walks a day if weather permits. I can accommodate most requests I currently work a part-time job from home that allows for a ton of flexibility. That being said I have a ton of time to play with your pups and give them the attention and care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible and I seek to make things as convenient as possible for you. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs that are always looking to make new friends. When boarding I make sure to keep a close eye on any pet in my supervision. I have spare crates, bowls, blankets, and a mountain of toys to play with. In the summertime I have dog pools, misting stations, and climate controlled spaces for them to take breaks from playing.
“Didn't even think to ask for pictures but she took multiple good ones which is always good for reassurance. It was my first time using her and rover but will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Kristen is always very professional and reliable. I have a 110 pound male pup who is unsure of most people when he first meets them. She knew just how to respond to him and now he loves her! My other pup is a fence jumper and she always makes sure she is on her cable. Kristen is quick to respond and always sends pictures and uses Rover Cards. She is extremely polite.”

“Taylor felt like an angel to me this week! I have a dog with kidney stones that’s having trouble holding his bladder. She was so accommodating and my pups loved her! Highly recommend and will be using her again!”


About: With 10+ years of hands-on dog sitting experience, I provide reliable in-home and overnight care. I’m experienced with administering medications, handling different energy levels, and maintaining structured routines. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind and dogs a calm, comfortable experience. I work remotely, so I’m home during the day and able to supervise dogs closely. This makes me a great fit for puppies, seniors, or dogs who need extra attention. Weekend availability is wide open, and weekday bookings are accepted as my schedule allows. I provide a safe, structured home environment with a secure fenced yard. My two Golden Retrievers are extremely friendly, well-trained, and experienced around other dogs. I supervise all play, separate dogs when needed, and follow each owner’s feeding and safety guidelines closely. Clear communication and photo updates are always included.
About: I have cared for pets almost my entire life, as we have always had pet dogs in the house! I grew up with pugs and puggles! As an adult, I’ve fostered and owned cats of my own for the last five years and have fallen in love with the cat world. I have volunteered weekly at a cat shelter since 2022 and feel comfortable providing basic care, as well as medicating cats of all ages. I have experience administering oral medications, fluids, and subcutaneous medications to cats. I am a full-time registered nurse in an office setting with a traditional 8-4 schedule. I am able to care for pets before I go in, when I get off, and later in the evenings as needed! On weekends I am generally free to come by at most times! I am extremely respectful of other peoples’ homes and the routines they’ve established for their pets. As a cat owner myself, I know how important it is to know that someone is not only giving your pet love and attention, but also ensuring that they are behaving, eating, and playing normally! I treat every animal as if it were my own and how I would want my own pets to be cared for when I am away!

Caisey was both professional and friendly! She really took the time to get to know my cat and made sure to accommodate care to her level of comfort. She was reliable, communicative, and overall a really great pet sitter! It was our first time leaving our fur baby for longer than a couple of days - Caisey was very understanding and sent TONS of photos throughout the care experience. Definitely recommend her to anyone needing an invested pet sitter!

Very professional very kind and went above a beyond for Athena. It’s nice to be able to work and know that my beautiful dog is taken care of halfway through the workday. It’s good for her and good for me. Mentally I’m able to focus on work with peace of mind. Her communication is fantastic and she is really good with Athena my German Shepherd.

Monique has been our trusted dog sitter for a couple of months now and we intend to keep hiring her going forward! She is on time, never misses a booking, and is flexible with our crazy schedules. Her care for our young, crazy puppy has lifted a lot of stress off of my wife and I with our full-time jobs. We highly recommend Monique.

Lauren is amazing!!! We needed a sitter last minute and she was a champ! She is very flexible. She got snowed in at our house and then came back an extra day when our flight was delayed. She sent pictures of our dogs lounging on her lap and looking very safe and cozy! This is the second time we’ve used Lauren and would highly recommend her!
