I wish I could give 10 stars instead of 5 because that's how good Emily was with our dogs. She is personable and kind and our girls took to her instantly during our preliminary meeting before our trip. She made me feel comfortable leaving our pets and I knew they would be safe and loved while she housesat for us. Excellent communication and just a good person all around. Our dogs were pampered and cared for and I'm sure forgot all about the fact we were gone for 4 days. I am so happy we found Emily.

First time house sitting for our Bernedoodle and she was well handled by Joey. He took well care of her as usual, played, walked her and gave her medicine. 👍

Meghan was such a pleasure to work with. She gave our senior dog the time and attention he deserved and brought out his playful inner puppy. She was great at communicating and we will definitely rebook with her soon!

We hired Allyson to house sit and watch our 2 labs for 11 days. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous. But Allyson did a wonderful job watching over our house and our fur babies! She sent us daily pictures and updates throughout our time away and definitely put our minds at ease!

Kayce was amazing! She took care of both our baby and the house. She sent us updates every day and Caliber was so happy (not stressed) when we got home. That’s what we had hoped for. Caliber enjoyed walks around the property and cul de sac and had plenty of attention. Our house was immaculate and she even stripped the bed, washed the linens and had them in the dryer for us. We will ask Kayce to watch Caliber anytime!

About: I offer personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your dog’s unique needs, personality, and routine. With a focus on reliability and attentiveness, I make your dog’s comfort and daily schedule a priority. I strive to be a calm, loving presence your dog can trust, helping them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. As a full-time teacher, my weekdays follow a consistent and predictable schedule. I am available for afternoon visits after school, evening care, as well as overnight stays when needed. On weekends, holidays, and school breaks, I have more flexibility and can provide extended care, additional visits, or longer stays. This structure allows me to offer reliable, attentive pet care while maintaining clear communication and consistency for your pet. I care for pets with a focus on comfort, routine, and individual needs, whether in my home or in my client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication, and I take time to learn their preferences and personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space while providing attentive, one-on-one care and keeping pets in a familiar environment. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm interactions, and I communicate regularly with updates so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

Lauren was great. Super friendly and could tell she truely cared about taking care of our dog and 2 cats. She sent pictures and updates and asked questions to make sure she was doing everything right. She was accommodating with a more last minute booking to house sit for a weekend. Would definitely reccomend Lauren!

About: Animals have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember, and growing up in a household with both dogs and cats taught me how to read their unique body language and personalities. Today, I am a proud pet parent to two wonderful cats of my own, so I know firsthand just how much your pets mean to you and the level of care they deserve. I have hands-on experience handling pets of all shapes, sizes, and ages, which includes raising a family dog from a puppy and training him to sit, as well as managing and pet-sitting two energetic 80-pound dogs simultaneously. I am also entirely comfortable with the less glamorous sides of pet care, as I am highly experienced in administering oral pills and various medications to both cats and dogs, maintaining strict routines, and handling unexpected bathroom accidents or cleanups calmly and thoroughly. I work full-time Monday through Friday, making my daytime availability perfect for early morning or evening walks, check-ins, and feeding routines. I am also available for overnight housesitting during the week, though this is typically best suited for independent adult animals who are comfortable being alone during standard work hours. My weekends are completely open and flexible for overnight care, extended daytime sitting, and drop-ins. Because young puppies require constant, round-the-clock supervision and undivided attention, I only accept puppy-sitting bookings strictly on Saturdays and Sundays to ensure your little one gets the dedicated care they need. Building a foundation of trust is my top priority when entering your home to care for your pets. For dogs, this means maintaining strict leash safety during walks, keeping a watchful eye for hazards, and following their established feeding and bathroom routines to minimize any anxiety. For cats, I prioritize a calm, respectful environment, giving them the space they need to feel secure while ensuring litter boxes are pristine and food is fresh. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping it clean, locking up securely, and handling unexpected messes or accidents quickly and thoroughly. Whether keeping a energetic dog safe on a walk or administering medication to a sensitive cat, I am committed to providing a secure, stress-free environment so you can have total peace of mind while you are away.

About: I specialize in dogs that need a little extra grace and a lot of patience, but I also love a social butterfly! I know firsthand that not every dog is an easy walker; having raised a reactive dog and managed the 'pulling power' of a Great Dane and a Lab, I have the confidence to handle any situation. ​For social pups, I love encouraging their friendly nature and ensuring they get plenty of positive interaction. I am very observant of canine body language and use consistent treat training to keep every walk safe and fun. Whether your dog is a social socialite who loves making friends or a sensitive soul who needs a sitter who truly 'gets' reactivity, I provide a calm, confident environment tailored specifically to them. Pet care is a staple of my daily routine! While I work a standard 9-to-6 business day 5 days of the week, I am wide awake and ready to go for those early 5:00 AM or 6:00 AM morning walks. Your pup will get plenty of exercise and attention before I head out, and I’m back in the evenings for more play, dinner, and potty breaks until 10:00 PM. I specialize in house-sitting and recurring schedules, ensuring your pets have a consistent best friend to look forward to every morning and night. Whether I’m staying at your place or visiting for a drop-in, your pets are treated like family. My approach combines physical exercise with mental engagement—I love incorporating short, positive training sessions into our day to keep their minds sharp. They’ll get plenty of 'tummy rub' downtime and scheduled feedings, but they’ll also get the structure and play they need to stay happy and tired out. Your dog won't just be watched; they’ll be active, engaged, and thoroughly spoiled.

About: I have taken care of dogs ranging from 10 pounds to 110 pounds my entire life. I have owned chihuahua dachshund mix, akitas, huskies, and German shepherds; so I understand big breeds as well as smaller ones. I have helped family members and neighbors with their dogs growing up with house sitting and dog walking. I know how important furbabies are to families, and treat each and every one as I would my own. I currently work full time with every other Monday off. I go to work about 7 am and get home about 430 pm. I do have volleyball leagues on Monday Wednesday and Friday nights that I am gone for 2 hours between 6-11pm as it varies based on game time. I love to hike and be outside so taking the dogs for walks a non issue. I have a small yard. It is in the process of getting fenced. If your furbaby needs to be crated that’s ok as well. They will be able to free roam if they are not crate trained. I adjust my schedule accordingly to accommodate the animals as best as I can. I have given insulin shots and medication to animals and am comfortable with it.

We have found our forever pet sitter! Oli was there for my husband and I as we welcomed our son into this world (a week early!) and the comfort she provided by taking such diligent care of our pets was invaluable. Oli is kind, organized and genuinely loving towards animals.
