About: I've had animals in my life from the time I was 5. I've had 2 German Shepards, a Mini Aussie, and several cats. My cat, Cupcake, who I adopted as a baby in 2007, is still healthy and strong! I currently only have a part time job, so most of my days are open and flexible! I can check on and care for your pets morning, day, or night! I'll be sure to check that they've got water (or food if its feeding time!), clean up any messes or accidents, check the litterbox if needed, and make sure they get plenty of scratches and play time!
“Megan is simply amazing!!! She took such lovely care of our pets (cat and dog) and worked around my needs. She was punctual, incredibly friendly, and very reliable. I cannot wait to book again with her. 10/10!! Book Megan for your check in needs.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 4 years and genuinely love being around animals. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. As a college athlete, I’m very responsible, active, and dependable. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and always make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and loved. Pet care fits really well into my weekly routine. As a former college athlete, I’m used to staying organized, responsible, and active. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins are easy for me to fit into my day. I’m reliable with routines and always make sure pets get the attention, care, and consistency they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise or playtime, and receive lots of attention and care. I’m also comfortable cleaning litter boxes, going on walks, giving medication if needed, and keeping the home clean and secure while owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved in their own environment.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life! From puppies to seniors, they’ve have all received the best care under my watch. I am best with seniors because I have taken care of my own for the past 6 years. I am currently attending a local college so I have plenty of time to hand out with your pets! I am particularly open for weekend care and nightly care. I make sure pets feel safe and loved in their own home by keeping their routine consistent. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, litter box care, and plenty of cuddles and attention. I also keep the home tidy and give updates so owners know their pets are happy and cared for.
“She met the dog prior to the visit asked us great questions and was very helpful. I appreciated the consistent communication between us and providing updates when asked.”
“Rita is the best! At our first Meet and Greet, Rita impressed me so much with her warmth and professionalism. My shy, skittish dog immediately warmed up to her, and I could tell from the Rover Card pictures that Dobbie was relaxed and happy with Rita. I feel so secure having Rita available so I can travel without worries. A+!”

I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, as well as time outside if preferred. I do have a safe and minimalist home with everything your fur baby would need. Extra bowls, toys, etc.
“Kate was reliable and great with our 2 dogs. One of our dogs is anxious about new people, but she warmed up to Kate immediately and ate well for her.

Been there, done that. Whatever they need, I'm there.

Amanda & Josh gave us so much peace of mind during our travels. We met with Amanda for a meet and greet a few weeks prior to the drop in visit & we were so impressed by her attention to detail, focus on security, and passion for animals. During the drop in, she provided detailed notes and cute pictures of our cat too. Thankful to have found them and look forward to rebooking in the future!
Kaitlyn is amazing! She takes such good care of my fur babies and sends wonderful pictures and updates. I am able to travel without worrying over my little loves being left at home because I know they are happy and comfortable! I swear my cat Raspy was disappointed when it was me at the door instead of Kaitlyn again 😂
Eric was absolutely amazing with our dogs, Cooper and Emma. From the beginning, communication was great and he kept us updated with photos and messages during every visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear he genuinely cared for them and treated them like his own, really spending time getting to know them and building a trusting relationship with them. He made sure they got outside time, attention and plenty of care. Both pups were happy and comfortable the entire time. We also really appreciated how dependable, kind and accommodating he was throughout the whole process. We came home to two very happy dogs and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’ll absolutely be reaching out to Eric again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!
Bianca was such a pleasure to work with. She was very knowledgeable about dogs and brought a calm energy. We instantly felt relieved to know that our Sadie was being taken care of by someone who has a passion for working with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I would definitely recommend Bianca to anyone who is looking for a sitter for their fur baby.
Rebecca was great! She watched our three cats for over a week and we felt at ease the whole time. She was sweet to our cats, punctual, professional, and she took good care of our home while we were away. She is trustworthy and her check ins were thoughtful and entertaining. 10/10 highly recommend.
