“Taryn was fantastic with our two dogs! Very appreciative she was available last minute to care for them! Will be reaching out to her for future needs!!!”


“Deidre came to the rescue when our plans fell through for our dog last minute- she was able to come care for and let him out for a few days! She sent lots of pictures- and took good care of him.”


“Marissa did an outstanding job caring for my two cats over my wedding weekend. Her thoughtful updates and adorable photo check-ins gave me so much peace of mind during such a hectic time. She followed every instruction to the letter, and I could tell my cats felt safe and comfortable, their usual post-trip skittishness was completely gone. I’m so grateful for her care and can’t wait to book her again!”


“Absolutely amazing!! I can always trust them to take great care of my 2 old kitties while I'm away. I know that they are getting plenty of love and attention. So thankful for them!!”


“Carmen and Katie were amazing! They were always on time and sent us lots of (happy) pictures of our furbaby. Ping-Pong is elderly and needs meds twice a day. All meds were dispensed as directed and cuddles were given liberally. We will use them again and I highly recommend them! I guarantee you and your furbabies will not be disappointed!”



“Ron took great care of our dogs over a five day period during a busy holiday season. His drop-in visits occurred in the schedule we had requested, and he managed the daily walks we had asked for in addition to the regular feeding, watering, and backyard visits. With all the real-time notices of his visits, and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip. Great experience!”


“Megan was so kind and quick to reply! She took great care of my kitties while I was away and sent photos so I could peek in on them too. I ended up needing to add an extra visit while we were away and Megan was very accommodating and made sure our kitties were taken care of. Thank you, Megan! This was our first time using Rover and entrusting our kitties to someone and you made it a great, worry-free experience.”


“Delaney was great with my dog, she made sure to meet him before letting him out for the days I needed help, which I really appreciated. She was great with communication and with my dog. I am thankful and definitely recommend!”


“Megan did a great job! Gave detailed daily messages about how my fur baby was doing. She made sure he was calm and got some daily cuddles while I was gone! Will be using her again in future!!!!”


“Sara is so wonderful and I am always confident that my pup is in the best care when Sara is taking care of him! Sara is always on time, gives my pup so much love and is always providing updates during her visits! Your animal is in great hands with Sara!”


About: I've had pets for ages, cats & dogs. Right now I don't have any, home is lacking! I have a special heart for smaller dogs! Right now, I'm working from home part time. So am pretty flexible watching your pet. My preference is to have your pet here in my home. I have a large fenced in back yard, dogs seem to love roaming in it! I prefer to crate at night and have always crated my dog when leaving home. I find dogs seem more secure when crated.

“Cheyenne is great with our pets. Today was just to drop in for our dogs. She took multiple photos and updated the app with all the details of their bathroom break. I definitely recommend Cheyenne.”


About: I have had animals all my life. I raised a 3 year old Cocker, care for a senior large dog, and have cats. Summertime Sitting--Nothing I would rather do with my time than hang out with pets! I have summer off and would love to fill it with caring for your pets! I am available most weeks during the summer & during the weekends other seasons. I have a fenced in backyard yard, a large/medium kennel, and a "private" (separated from other pets) room for your pet to enjoy during their stay. I do own cats and dogs, they are all friendly and used to other dogs! I will also respect your space and follow instructions for visits, dog or cat.

“Abigail is amazing! Our old soul Yorkie (Ellie) and our sweet happy Havanese (Hera), really enjoyed their visits from Abigail!! We really appreciated her check-ins and text messages with updates! It was obvious she truly cared for our girls when we were away for the weekend. We will not hesitate to book Abigail again!”


“Sarah was the first pet sitter I’ve ever used before. She made me feel a lot better about leaving my two cats. She was very responsive and of course I loved getting pictures everyday of the cats lol”
