“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!”


“Averi has made it easy to trust someone with my dogs! Even my dog who is skeptical of people seems to be doing well with her. She asks questions and makes note of things I may want to know, the communication is great! My puppy is still learning to hold her pee and I appreciate Averi’s patience!”


“Jermaine went out of his way to make sure our dogs were well taken care of while we were gone. He was on time every day and sent pictures on a daily basis. He came to the house the day before to see the dogs and go over feeding and meds and even cleaned the kennel area in the house garage before we got back. We look forward to having him back in the future.”


“Absolutely wonderful! Was able to help us last minute and was very communicative and sent a ton of pictures which we love and appreciate!! Definitely will be using Giovanni again!”


“Awsome Luie!! Zelda loves him and he shows such care with her. It's our first visit and we will be using him if our neighbors don't book him first!! His personality is wonderful and it shows with his work. We normally take her to a kennel for long weekends, however this was a "game changer" in our book. See you again Luie!”


“Jennifer was a dream sitter. My cats were well looked after. She even messaged me to see if there were any interactive toys she could play with! My cats have a difficult medication schedule, and she followed my instructions like a pro! Very happy to recommend Jennifer!”


“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.”



“Crissy was a fantastic pro and came through in the last minute for my husband and me. Our dogs immediately warmed up to her and she gave us the confidence we needed to go on vacation knowing our dogs would be well taken care of. She sent lots of videos and photos while we were away to help us enjoy our vacation and see what our dogs were up to. We would highly recommend Crissy.”


“Kelsey is reliable and so sweet to my dogs. She takes detailed notes of her visits and always sends me multiple pictures good enough to frame :) she’s very much appreciated at our house!”


“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. I have had many experiences caring for other people’s pets as my family has offered pet sitting and in-home visits throughout the years. I love all animals and enjoy taking care of and spending time with them, playing, talking with them, etc. I have experience working with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. Dogs will always have a fun time and enjoy their walks and/or play time with me. Both dogs and cats will get plenty of attention and care needed during in-home visits and dogs will during boarding or daily stays! As an animal lover, I look forward to helping out and providing great care for your pets! You can always feel comfortable and confident with your pet in my care! I look forward to working with you and your pet(s). Teacher & coach at a high school so August-June I am only available on weekends & school breaks. I have much more availability, especially during the week, in the summer months! Your pet will be provided with daily love, exercise, fun, conversation, and relaxation. I will be adding more to this section as soon as possible!

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: Passionate about the well-being of our furry friends, I have dedicated four years and on going to the pet care industry. I have gained extensive knowledge and experience while creating long lasting bonds with the animals I’ve had the pleasure of caring for. I also have done work on the side for individuals providing personalized care for their beloved pets! I will be able to provide bathroom breaks, walks, at any certain times you want and be able to follow any routine that you have! I have gained extensive knowledge and experience while creating long lasting bonds with the animals I’ve had the pleasure of caring for. I will be able to follow any instructions I am given to make sure everything is perfect!

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!!

About: I have always taken care of fur babies whether it was for friends, family, or neighbors! I love taking them on walks and playing with them in their environments to see their personalities. I will take care of your baby with the same love and care that you would. With taking care of my own puppies as well as others, I know how to look for different signs of behavior. I am currently a stay at home dog mom of two, so I have plenty of time during the morning/day/ to walk your fur babies and do check ins while you are away! I can take care of your dogs however you wish. I am good with crating and crate training. As well I do have some command trick training up my sleeve! I am here to help you make sure your fur babies are in good hands. I believe that it's better to watch dogs in their own environment so they can feel comfortable and be themselves.

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.

Jessica R.

“Jessica has always taken such great care of my pups. I have two very rowdy and energetic dogs, a lab and a Aussie Border Collie mix. It takes a lot for my dogs to warm up to people but with her, it was almost effortless.

She's an extremely responsible individual and can confidently say your pets are in good hands with her.”
