“Jessica has dropped in to take care of my big babies a few times and I havent had any issues. Shes always very communicative and sends me the cutest pics of my babies that always make me smile at work 😊”
“Sarah is great and super responsive. Sarah took great care of our anxious fur babies with confidence and love. Don’t hesitate in booking Sarah!”
“Elke was a wonderful cat sitter for my 16-year-old cat! I really appreciated the level of detail in her reports and the photos of my pet. I’d hire Elke again in a heartbeat!”
“My cat did great with Angelee for my latest trip. She kept him entertained and on his medications each day. I appreciate all her help with my old kitty!”
“We were so happy with the loving care our cats were given while we were away. Catherine did a wonderful job! I highly recommend her services.”
“Ariel was a wonderful caretaker and new friend to my little boy Yuki while I was gone to CA! It was so great to know that he was happy and being well cared for while I was away. The feedback and pictures she gave me twice a day was so fun to get and made me feel much less guilty leaving him. She went beyond my expectations and was SO SWEET with him! Will definitely be calling on Ariel again when I need a wonderful, responsible and caring person for Yuki!”
“Dina was an amazing sitter for my 105 lbs. American Bulldog. She not only fed him and let him out to use the restroom, Dina spent quality time playing with Koda to make sure he was not lonely while we were out of town. I highly recommend Dina!”
About: *Prior to sending a booking request, please be aware that I work 8:30AM to 5:30PM M-F. If this does not work for your pet’s needs, please do not send a request* When you book with me, I COME TO YOU! Your pets will never have to leave the place they know and love. I know leaving your fur babies is difficult, so I make it a point to respond to all messages almost instantly when I am not working my regular 8:30am-5:30pm job, and within 1-2 hours when I am at work. I am experienced with dogs and cats of all ages and love them as my own! I request detailed instructions on feeding and any other important details to be sent via message or written at your home. My weekends and nights after work stay flexible: sometimes I am gone for a couple hours to visit friends, but if a pre-set plan with my friends is intended to take more than 3 hours, I will ensure you are aware ahead of time so we can determine whether I am the best fit for your pets. I only pet sit in the client's home as I believe animals feel safer in an environment they know and trust. I also live in a small space where I cannot have more than my one dog, so bringing more animals home is not an option.
“Emelyn is a gift to our dog Henry. She is kind and provides him companionship when we are away. Emelyn is also a highly professional, experienced sitter with great attention to detail. We highly recommend her services for your pet's needs.”
“Addie was wonderful and my doggies both loved her! She took a ton of pictures while she was here & I could clearly see the pups were walked and played with during her time at the house. I will definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages for over 15 years. With two pups of my own, I’m well familiar with all stages of dog life from puppyhood to senior dogs. I’d love to live on your couch potato or take your active pup on a sensory walk to tire them out. I sit regularly for dogs and cats and even the occasional horse and goat! I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I specialize in morning or mid-afternoon drop-in or walks and can accommodate some evenings and weekends as needed. I love using walks as a way to get outside and happy to take them out in all the weather! I am very detail oriented and flexible so I’m happy to adapt to your pets individual needs or routine. I treat each animal with dignity and respect.
“Our cat Savannah can be moody, but we can always rely on Kara to make sure she is comfortable and taken care of when we are away. Thank you so much, Kara!”
“Julie is very experienced with animal care, and she put me completely at ease during my first time using Rover. She was professional and friendly and answered all of my questions. The updates she provided for each drop-in visit were not only thorough about the tasks completed, but included commentary about my cat that reassured me kitty was in the hands of someone confident, patient, and appreciative of all animals in her care. Although my cat's needs were unremarkable, I would have trusted Julie to provide more complicated care, and would definitely book her again for any kind of petsitting. Thank you, Julie, you were wonderful!”
“Allison was great with our senior dogs, who required a little extra love. She sent us multiple updates and pictures throughout the day. The dogs enjoyed the playtime and cuddles. We will definitely be using Allison again!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Kelli! I always have a little bit of anxiety leaving our pets behind but she did such a good job communicating that I didn’t have to worry at all! She’s incredibly kind and considerate, and you can tell she really loves your pets well. She’s going to be my number one pet sitting call from here on out!”
“Katherine was communicative while I was away, and I came back to a very happy cat! I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of Chevy.”

Layla was very reliable in taking care of my puppy! She responded promptly and helped ease my stress with pictures and a sweet note during her drop in visit. My booking was rather last minute so I appreciate her responding quickly and helping me make sure Juni was taken care of.
Margaret was fantastic with my cat! She made sure to stick around to ensure she got her medication and was totally willing to give oral meds if needed. I was so worried about leaving my sick cat for the weekend, but Margaret sent pictures, and videos of each visit!
Addie was amazing with my puppy! I work night shift an hour+ away and it’s always a struggle finding a sitter available to do drop in visits so late. I recently had a bad experience with a sitter falsifying care (I have a pet cam) and I was stressed I wasn’t going to be able to find anyone to check on her because of my schedule. Addie exceeded all of my expectations! She gave Maple so much attention, care, playtime, and affection! She was on time, she communicated well, and she was extremely accommodating to my little requests (like making sure my tv didn’t auto shut off so she could have background noise, or giving her a frozen pupsicle treat before leaving). She sent a ton of pictures of their time together and my girl looked so happy! She even won the heart of my cat, who is normally shy around new people. 10/10 experience! Thank you so much, Addie!
Emelyn has been absolutely wonderful. Reliable, communicative, and clearly loves what she does, she always takes such great care of our dog. We come home to a happy, well-exercised pup every time. It’s such a comfort knowing our dog is in such capable and caring hands—highly recommend!
