We are so grateful that Marilyn took care of our two dogs while we were away for two weeks. She sent to us pictures every day, updated us on their behaviors and even facilitated new medication for one of our dogs. I can’t recommend her more highly. She’s trustworthy and a loving caregiver for our pets. We will be using her again.

Kayla was fantastic! She took care of our senior fur babies overnight making them feel comfortable, safe and loved. Her challenging task of administering several medications to our cat was no problem for Kayla. We most certainly will use her again!

Alison, Thank you for doing such a great job with my 3 girls. You willingly took on the challenge of keeping a Older Rottweiler from licking open wounds on her leg and you prevented it - I really appreciate it. You kept me updated on their happiness, multiple times a day, which allowed to me to relax and enjoy our time away. I hope you will be available the next time we need someone to look after our girls as they were well taken care (& they missed you when you left)

Robert did a great job in taking care of Patsy. He took her for a walk and stayed with her while my wife and I went to dinner. I strongly recommend his services.

About: Dogs only want to give and receive love. They are, perhaps, Gods greatest creation. I've worked at a Veterinarian office/Doggy Day Care nearly 5 years, caring for all ages and sizes. I volunteer at the Sheriffs Animal Control Shelter in Supply. I believe dogs enrich the lives of the people around them. I've always been able to bond with dogs. A mutual trust has always come easy. They're all beautiful, and people could learn a lot from them. They make me laugh every day. Dogs will always be safe and happy with me watching over them. I wiil provide great companionship and a soft, warm touch while you're away. I guarantee that you will feel completely secure and confident with my abilities to maintain a safe, fun experience for your dog. Having someone you trust to care for your dog is invaluable. I will be that person. We love to be at home. Being on a walk or hanging outside is what we enjoy. I work at a doggy daycare and can fit pet care at home easily. Daily care of our dog is walking, feeding, brushing hair and teeth, love and cuddles, and of course playing games. We love to take our pebbles with us everywhere. We will give the same care to every dog we meet.

About: I've taken care of pets since middle school. I've taken care of lizards, fish, turtles, dogs, cats, and birds. I've always been paid for my hard work and love towards making sure everything is clean within the home and that the pets are on their best behavior. I don't necessarily have a job, so I'll be able to put a lot of effort into watching your pets! I'm just looking to meet new fur babies around the area and make sure that they're taken care of when their loving families are gone! (Along with making some cash lol) I'm able to go to other people's houses to care for pets! I do not have the room to do so in my own home as I already have a lot of pets. I love animals a lot and care for them as though they're my own children.

About: Over the years I've had experience with all stages and ages of pets, especially dogs, but also including horses, chickens, fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, cats etc. I've raised and cared for my own pets from puppies to elder dogs, special needs to the most energetic (or anxious). I've taken in some willful and anxious fur babies that have thrived and became amazing loyal, obedient and loving companions. I have also been blessed with 4 amazing grown kiddos that have pets of their own and I get to care for them often and its the best!! Most of my/my families pets have been rescues but we've also had/have several pure bred Animals (Long-haired German Shepherd, Newfoundland, Maltese, Blue Pittie). I like to make sure the fur babies get lots of love and exercise, but its also okay if your pet is a bit more stand-offish. I truly appreciate when pet parents leave information about routine, pets personality and preferences and will follow instructions meticulously. Special needs, medications, puppy care, etc are also welcome (of course!!). Feel free to ask any questions...look forward to chatting and meeting you/your fur babies. I am an empty-nested Mom and Mimi with my kids' families being spread around CO, NC, TN, GA, STX so I travel to see kids/grandkids/family...a lot...and I love it. This gives me the flexibility to do house sitting/pet care around those visits (in some cases, I've done sits near my kids as well and check both boxes, pet care and visits with the fam). I'm looking to pet/house sit almost full-time around family visits. I'm also VERY open to traveling to pet sits outside my home base area, overseas as well. I lost my little Maltese "Smiles" a few years ago and have poured my snuggles into my kid's 6 dogs. With my travel schedule its hasn't felt like the right time to add a new pet to my personal life so getting to love on my families' pets and those that I sit for really helps fill that void. I only care for pets in your/their home. I am primarily looking for overnight sits, but will also be available for walks and drop-in care.

About: Dogs, cats, turtles, if it needed a home it found a loving life at our house! Over the years that has not changed, a house without sandy paws and a wet noses just would not be complete! I am a director for oncology research and also enjoy working with dogs. I have 2, 7 year old Golden labs. One of which is a certificated Therapy dog who loves her job! The other has been task trained for pain management. Both love to meet new playmates and people! When traveling I am very careful who I leave them with as they need to remain in their routine and I worry for their safety. The peace of mine I have found with my awesome Rover sitter Meghan I would like to offer those in my area. I work from home, am pro raw feeding (if you would like to learn ask 😀), believe animals are part of the family and deserve to be treated with love, respect and provided an environment where they can thrive! When you are away it is confusing enough, you need someone to help keep your furry family members routine and environment as consistent as possible. I work from home making my schedule very flexible. I can accommodate your routine and scheduled walks. One of my pups has low blood sugar and the other requires injections so I understand the importance of keeping a schedule! We are very accessible to walking paths, parks and the beach if allowed. I will not take your dog to a dog park or allow your dog to met other dogs without your permission. I have a strict no meeting other dogs on leash policy.

About: I’ve had my dog Chloe since she was a pup, I’ve crate trained her, she knows how to sit, shake, and speak when given a treat.

I care for my pets with lots of play time, cuddles, love and attention, walks in the neighborhood. I make sure I follow their routine schedule if they have one.

Stacey was amazing with my boxer, Piper! She is so sweet, very informative, and extremely reliable. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind on my long trip, and she even continued checking on Piper after the visit. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her pets, and I would absolutely book with her again!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. I grew up in a homeschooled household with a dog and three cats, so being hands-on with pet care was just part of everyday life. As a kid, I was known around my neighborhood for walking dogs, pet sitting, and helping out wherever I could—even mowing lawns for neighbors—so responsibility and reliability were instilled in me early on. I also spent time working on an alpaca farm, which gave me experience caring for animals with different needs and personalities. In my adult life, I regularly help care for my sister’s three dogs, and since she’s a veterinarian, I’ve learned a lot about animal behavior, health, and proper care through her. I’m also very involved with my two nephews, so patience and attentiveness come naturally to me. One of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had was caring for our family dog, Toby, in his later years. As the youngest, it became my responsibility to make sure he was comfortable, safe, and well cared for as he aged. He lived to be 16, and that experience taught me a lot about compassion, consistency, and the importance of attentive care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I already structure my days around being consistent, active, and attentive. I’m used to building my schedule around responsibilities, so walks, feeding times, and check-ins feel like a natural part of my day rather than something extra. On a weekly basis, I regularly help care for my sister’s dogs, so I’m already in the rhythm of walking, feeding, and spending quality time with pets. I also keep a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they need without rushing. Overall, I enjoy having pet care as part of my routine—it keeps me active, present, and doing something I genuinely enjoy. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions carefully—feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences—so your pet feels safe and stress-free in their own environment. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, not just the basics. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, I provide a clean, calm, and safe environment where they can relax. I keep a consistent schedule for feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks, and I’m always attentive to their behavior and needs. I make sure they feel included and comfortable, whether that means active play or just relaxing nearby. No matter the setting, my priority is making sure each pet feels secure, cared for, and happy while you’re away.

Judith was absolutely WONDERFUL. It was our first time hiring a house/per sitter, but she completely put us at ease from the start. She sent updates and pictures, was very responsive, took amazing care of our dog, cat and our home. She was a pleasure to work with from the meet and greet to our coming home. We're so pleased and couldn't recommend her more!
