“When my husband and I decided to take an overnight trip, he reached for his phone to call our usual boarder. I stopped him and said hey, we’re only going to be gone about 30 hours, maybe we try letting Daisy stay home and try drop-in visits from someone on Rover instead? So glad we found Lindsay! She was reliable, visited right on time, every time, showed genuine care and affection for our Daisy, faithfully spent time doting on her with attention, and took great care of her! Highly recommend, and would contact her again for our next overnight trip!”
“Sunny waits for Mia every morning and is her new favorite person!! She is sweet and kind to him, can handle his exuberance and she's really flexible and communicate thoroughly letting me know she's on her way. I couldn't be happier with Mia and an so grateful I found her!”
“Mary did an excellent job caring for my cats Pumpkin and Ginger. I would highly recommend her to care for your pets and I will certainly have her back to card for my babies. Awesome job!”
“Great caregiver for our high maintenance English Bulldog! Sue went above and beyond getting all the information and details for his care. She was timely and very communicative throughout her visit. Definitely keeping on speed dial ?”
“Kavya was great with my three little monsters, who each have very distinct and different personalities. They all loved her though! I was very comfortable having Kavya in my home. She gave thorough updates and sent lots of pictures. Fantastic pet sitter! Will be keeping her on speed dial for future needs!”
About: Hello! I have worked at a boarding kennel for 5 years and have volunteered at the Humane society for 2 years as well. I am comfortable with everything your pet brings to the table! I am proficient in understanding a dogs behavior, your dog will be in trusted hands. I am currently working remote on Wednesdays and Fridays and would love some more dog time! I am available throughout the days on these days. I am also available on weekends! I will be sure your dog has the most fun on our walks! I know my way around many types of harnesses/leashes/muzzles. I can’t wait to get my steps in with your dog!
About: I have hands on experience caring for both puppies and older dogs. I currently help raise and train our own puppies, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines, potty training, crate training, and basic commands. I’ve also pet sat for older dogs and understand the importance of patience, comfort, and keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I genuinely love being around animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. Making sure they get plenty of attention, care, and a calm, loving environment while you’re gone 🤍🐾 Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I work as a full-time nanny during the weekdays, typically finishing in the mid afternoon, and I’m often already in homes with pets as part of my nanny work. I also have my own puppy, so caring for animals is a daily part of my life. I’m used to managing a busy but flexible routine, so I’m able to fit pet care in consistently and reliably around my nanny schedule and personal responsibilities. In clients’ homes, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their normal environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication (if needed), and any specific house rules. I make sure to keep things clean and consistent so pets feel secure while their owners are away. For dogs, I prioritize walks, playtime, and structure so they stay happy and exercised. For cats, I focus on a calm presence, litter box maintenance, feeding, and giving attention based on their personality and comfort level. If a pet were ever in my home, they would be treated like part of the family - with a calm, safe space, lots of attention, and a routine that keeps them comfortable and stress-free 🤍🐾
“Hailey is the absolute best fur baby sitter ever! She loves our animals, and takes excellent care of our very old pup who sometimes needs a little extra TLC! She is easy to work with and great at communicating before and after! We will be booking her again if she's available in the future!”
“Marisa, thank you so much for taking such great care of our fur babies again! We really appreciate the abundant photos you share and the detailed updates every time you care for the dogs. We miss them so much while we travel, and you make it easier with your constant communication and the attention you give to our instructions. We know Teddy & Forrest are in great hands with you. Thank you again; we will rebook the next time we travel!”

“First time we used Dana to petsit for us. All we t well. We appreciated the flexibility and punctuality provided by Dana and obviously the care she provided. We will most likely use her services again at some point in the near future.”

I make sure each visit is unhurried, giving your pets time to eat, play, and feel comfortable with me.

I stick to their usual routine for meals and care, spend quality time playing or cuddling (depending on what they like), and make sure their environment stays clean and calm. I also send updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting lots of attention.

Susan did a great job with our cats while we were away for a few days after Christmas! She gave lots of feedback and was easy to get hold of when needed. Thank you Susan, I hope to be a repeat customer and would recommend all cat owners to hire Susan for drop in visits for sure!
We had a wonderful experience with Lindsay! She was fantastic from start to finish. She took the time to visit a few days before her check-ins for an in-person meet and greet with our kitties, which we really appreciated and found very reassuring. While we were out of town, she arrived exactly when she said she would and carried out everything as promised. She was kind, sweet, very responsive, and clearly cared about our kittens. They recently got spayed and neutered and had e-collars, and she was comfortable with the extra TLC they would need. Her pricing was also very reasonable for the level of care and professionalism she provided. We felt completely at ease knowing our kittens were in such good hands. I would absolutely book Lindsay again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Allisa did a wonderful job with our cat Jeri, and also keeping water, food, and litter properly maintained. She was extremely professional and respectful at our meet and greet which put me at ease because I had never hired a pet sitter before, and was somewhat nervous about it. She followed our instructions exactly as we requested and maintained excellent communication. She went above and beyond when we had received packages on our porch and she placed them in our house. I highly recommend Allisa and would definitely hire her again.
