“My dogs bonded with Jaycee very quickly. I feel very comfortable leaving them in her care in my home. She is dependable and always sent updates with photos at the end of her visit!”

“She is very tentative! Providing updates during visits of my dogs conditions and how they seem as well as goings on like when they had some diarrhea. She is very nice and implements how you want your animals to be taken care of. Is willing to use and learn about things like the e-collars I use for my girls. All around a good sitter!”

“Gretchen was great with my girls! She was on time for her drop-ins and stayed to play with them the whole time. She did a meeting with me to meet the girls before she came to watch them which was great! She strove to understand what I needed from her and what the girls needed with their behavioral issues! Very professional and kind!”

About: I've loved caring for pets for family and friends over the years. Moved away from home so looking to keep that same experience around here. I'm generally off on Sundays and Mondays for work, and live close enough for potty breaks and I make my own schedule if enough notice is given. I have a fenced in yard which has been home to dogs the size of a Great Pyrenees down to a Yorkshire Terrier before. The home is large enough for multiple pets to have their space.
“Emily was great. We just needed our cat checked in on for some company while we were gone for a couple days with the pups. Zilla appreciated the company when she was here! Super nice and communicative too. Thanks Emily!”

“Samantha is fantastic with all of our animals. She always sends us picture updates and is very attentive and accommodating to any and all needs. Both our dog and cat love when she comes to visit them!”

About: I’ve pet sat for family members but I’ve also and still currently pet sit for previous teachers. I’ve done an internship at a vet clinic. I completed boces which made me a certified veterinary assistant. I worked at the SPCA while finishing up college. Volunteered at Tanglewood Nature Center. Depending on my work schedule I spend as much time as possible outside of work with your pets. I don’t leave them alone for long at all. I’m easy going, my dog gets crated when I’m not home. I will make sure nothing is sitting out that could potentially harm an animal
About: I grew up on a farm and have been around all sorts of animals. I have experience with all types of dogs, from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. Neighbors, friends, and family have previously relied on me to house sit and care for their pet(s) while they’re away. I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of free time to care for your pet(s). Even on days I work, I can do potty breaks before and after. I rely on what the client tells/gives me. I like to keep animals in their own home so they can feel comfortable and not anxious with another person and at another home. It’s good to keep one of those neutral.
“Staci did a great job with my elderly cocker spaniel. I felt very secure knowing that she was taking care of her during my vacation out of town. I received several pictures and updates on how she was doing while I was gone. I would definitely book her again to care for Tulla. Thank you, Staci?”

“Kelli has done a great job with taking care of my dog. She was very willing and flexible to do a home visit meet and greet and is great at communicating anything that may come up with your pup. So grateful to have her help.”

About: Having grown up in a family that had five dogs at once, I've gained extensive experience in pet care. It has taught me the importance of patience and love when it comes to looking after our furry friends, young and old. Additionally, I've often helped out friends by letting their dogs out and spending time with them when needed. These experiences have helped to ensure that every dog in my care feels loved and well-cared for. I am currently working part-time this summer, but I can be sure to find time to help you out and make your fur baby’s day! I will make sure your dog is fed, walked, and given plenty of love and attention! If they need special care, such as dietary, mobility, emotional, senior dog care, etc. I will be happy to help!
“Cate has been so great with our boy Bruno! I love all the updates she gives us, and the pictures she takes each visit. We are so happy to have someone there for us to check in on our busy days.”

“Lillian recently did drop in visits over the weekend to care for our cats; She was incredibly attentive, ensuring that our one cat felt comfortable even during nervous moments. She kept the litter and food spaces clean and tidy, she provided regular updates and followed through on all our agreed-upon plans. It’s clear that she cares about pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for drop in pet care.”

“Valkyrie enjoyed her time, Mika didn't have to take the garbage of cat litter out to the trashcan and she went above and beyond. Will be using her again when I go out of town for long times!!”

“Spencer provided excellent care and frequent, clear communication. He readily stepped in for some additional days after my flight was delayed last minute. I will definitely be utilizing his services again.”

“Laura came on time and spent the full amount of time with Billy, she left detailed notes about how the visit went and took pictures. This is the second time we have used Laura and will continue to in the future when we book with Rover!”

About: I have had dogs and one cat since I was a child up until about a year ago. I trained and socialized my dogs so they were always people, child and pet friendly. I am patient and I will understand they will be stressed when their family is not with them. I love walking dogs, playing whatever games they enjoy or just spending time with them for comfort. I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule during the week and weekends. My work week is normally done by noon on Thurs., so I have long weekend availability. I would treat your pet as I would my own. Give extra attention as we know animals miss their family. I will provide in home care so your pets are more comfortable when you are away.

“Amanda took care of my cat dropping by once a day for a week. My cat seem in a great shape and I believe Amanda did a great job. She provided timely updates and was able to socialize and earn the trust of my otherwise shy cat.”
