“Beth was amazing with our kitties! She went above and beyond to make sure they both were both fed and comfortable. I'm very grateful for her help and will certainly reach out to her in the future!”
“Sabrina was wonderful! We had to make a very last minute request to feed our kitties and Sabrina came to the rescue. Our senior kitty is very shy and often won't come out or even eat for people she's not familiar with, but she did for Sabrina! We were also provided with numerous photos, updates, and a very detailed write up of the visit. We will certainly be reaching out when we need services in the future!”
“Luie did a great job with my three young cats! They are still shy with strangers but Luie was patient with them and did get one to come out for him several times during his drop-ins! Thank you for all the updates and pictures.”
“Jenn took care of our cat Blue for seven days. She did a great job trying to get him to come out of his hiding spots. Unfortunately Blue is a scaredy cat and does not trust easily. Jenn did her best and was able to take one picture of him. She fed him and rearranged his toys so she knew where he had played. Jenn is very enthusiastic and loves animals. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Michele was a wonderful find. It was our first experience using Rover and we are so happy we found her. She was very good with our dog who takes a while to warm up to new people. Michele never missed a walk, was always on time and very gentle with our girl. She provided us feedback regularly and treated our dog like her own. We would highly recommend Michele.”
“We have used Chrissy numerous times and each time we are so so so pleased! She takes such good care of our cat when we are out of town. She is so sweet and we would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone! You won’t regret it!”
“Kelsey was so great with our fur babies, and took the time to meet them, they are usually very shy but they came out to see her! She sent great updates and made sure the litter boxes were clean, water was fed, food was out, and attention and treats were given ? we will definitely be using her again!”
“Matthew took excellent care of our kitties, Buddy and Tigger while we were away! We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing that the cats were being well taken care of including their medications. Everything was. nice and neat and tidy when we arrived home. We would highly recommend Matthew to care for your pets.”

About: I have had multiple cats and dogs growing up. My parents still have multiple cats and dogs and I currently own two cats.

“Jacklyn was an amazing caregiver who was not only kind, but patient and understanding. We just recently moved to the area and this was our first time leaving our cats alone. She helped ease my anxiety over the situation and I felt comfortable knowing that they were in great hands. I appreciated her updates with each visit, as well as the photos she took of my cats when they decided to emerge for treats and food. If you want someone who is attentive and caring, I highly recommend Jacklyn.”
About: I treat every pet like family and make sure they get the same love and attention they’re used to at home. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies who need consistency and training reinforcement to senior pets who may need extra patience, slow walks, or medication. I focus on keeping routines consistent, giving plenty of enrichment and exercise, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. As a teacher and parent, I’m already used to having a structured schedule and balancing responsibilities. Pet care naturally fits into that rhythm—I start and end my days with plenty of time for walks, play, or check-ins, and I’m available after school hours, evenings, and weekends to give pets my full attention. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so it never feels like “extra work” but rather a rewarding part of my week. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They have a safe, comfortable space, plenty of playtime (fenced yard), regular walks, and lots of love and attention. I make sure their routine—mealtimes, potty breaks, and exercise—stays consistent so they feel at ease. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep everything as close to “normal” as possible. That means following your instructions carefully, maintaining feeding and potty schedules, giving walks, playtime, and cuddles, and keeping their environment clean and safe. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel loved, secure, and well cared for until you’re back.
About: I have been working in animal rescue and doing pet sitting going on 30yrs. I love all animals and truly believe that a happy animal is a mentally and physically stimulated animal...and let’s not forget... well LOVED!! I foster dogs of all kinds, as well as have one of my own, who is my “baby”. I have experience with pretty much every kind of dog there is, from chihuahuas to Great Danes, from laid back to high strung, and from timid to aggressive. Over the years, I have learned how to handle dogs pretty well. I am confident and comfortable with dogs of all kinds as long as I am aware of any issues they may have ahead of time. I’ve just about seen and done it all! I view my animals as “family members” as I’m sure you do also. I am 100% reliable and trustworthy, and come with excellent references! I am an excellent communicator and possess the ability to make good judgement calls if need be! Please consider me to help you out with your pooch! Hope to hear from you soon!!
“Kayla was great! Muffin was well taken care of, pictures were adorable, and peace of mind was priceless. I would definitely recommend Kayla to care for your pet and have her care for Muffin again. Thanks Kayla!!❤️”
About: I will treat your babies the same as my own. Our animals are our family. Growing up, I had fur siblings. They may have had four paws, but they still got birthdays, they still got a Christmas stocking, and if someone got a sweet treat, they did too. I think I am different, but my whole life, I have looked at animals more than just that. They are companions that we love for part of our lives, but we are an entire lifetime to them. They love unconditionally and deserved to be given the same. I went from being 5 and taking naps with my family's lab, to riding horses by 10, to volunteering at the shelter by 12, groomer by 19, and certified in behavior, nutrition for cats and dogs at 22. I love animals. My commitment to always wanting to learn more about them and give them the best possible care, sets me apart. I am currently not working, and I have a 5-yr old son full time. He will be going to school in the fall, but I am looking for something to be able to do until them. I have a very open schedule. Your home will be treated as you left it, unless your fur child says otherwise which I will happily document and send to you in the moment. I want to create an environment that I am your fur babies' best friend, so when you are not home, maybe they won't miss you too much :)
About: Ive taken care of various types of animals for about 15 years. I am also a CNA. I am cpr certified. I have worked with various vets throughout the years as well. I am currently a part time CNA who works nights. I work 11-7am. I’m a hair dresser as well that has a flexible schedule. My days are mostly open and my availability and flexible. I always anticipate needs and tend to my clients pets as if they were my own. I love being involved in every aspect of taking care of animals and making sure they’re comfortable.
About: I've grown up in a household with pets most of my life. I have experience caring for dogs (including elderly and special attention) as well as exotics like turtles, rabbits, birds. Family, coworkers, and friends have relied on my to care for their pets and trust that I can feed them on time, as well as administer any medications, get them their exercise, and more! My availability is mostly on Thursday mornings, Friday afternoons and weekends. I do have a flexible work schedule though, so I can work around your schedule as long as I have enough notice! Pet safety and client trust are my number one priority. I want your pets to feel safe and cared for while you are gone. I am very respectful of space and boundaries in your home as well as rules and schedules that you have for your pet.
