“Dina was incredibly thorough, professional, and helpful! She gave wonderfully detailed reports, sent us tons of pictures, and was clearly loved by our two cats! Cannot recommend her enough 🤍”

“Sarah is wonderful with my furry girls! She is friendly, patient, kind, and caring. I'm happy she will be caring for my pups while I am away for two weeks!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I feel lucky that Morgan visited my puppy. She was very nice, on time, and took great care of my puppy. She also cleaned up his mess, which I really appreciated. Thank you for everything!”


About: Ready for tail wags and endless fun! Having raised my own pups for over a decade, I’ve experienced it all—from the wild puppy phases to the sweet senior years. I know exactly how to keep animals engaged, safe, and thoroughly entertained. Your dog will get all the playtime, attention, and expert care they deserve! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because my schedule is highly flexible! Whether I am hanging out with cats or walking dogs, my open availability allows me to easily match your pet's established routine. I can accommodate early morning feedings, mid-day potty breaks, high-energy afternoon play, or late-night cuddles. Because I am so adaptable, I can quickly adjust to whatever timeline your pets need to stay happy, comfortable, and stress-free Whether at my home or yours, I focus on safety and mimicking your pet's normal routine. In your home, I strictly follow your rules, keep litter boxes pristine, walk dogs on their usual routes, and secure your property. In my home, I provide a fully pet-proofed, welcoming environment where cats and dogs get dedicated attention, structured playtime, and their own safe spaces to rest comfortably.
“Sarah always does a great job taking care of Bently. She is prompt, takes plenty of pictures, and leaves detailed visit reports. We love when she is able to care for him”

“Kara was so great dropping in on my cat! She always gave me great updates on my cat, and my cat seemed to love her. I would definitely book her again in the future!”

“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.”


About: I have had animals in the house my entire life. I have always had at least four growing up to sometimes six ranging from cats, dogs and guinea pigs. I currently have a cat of my own here at college who i adore. I am a college student at ETSU. This summer I am spending it in Kentucky where I do work part-time. Schedule does vary but I can make sure your animal is fit in and taken care of properly. I have a cat who has her own litter box, fun little toys, food that she loves, and always my company. With other people’s animals I consider myself to be very caring and loving towards them.

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years and have vast experience in walking, feeding, administering medications, etc. I even started volunteering at a pet store at the age of 8 and stayed there for many years! I’m working part time so I have quite a lot of time on my hands to give your pups the right amount of attention they need. I have a fenced in yard with a lot of grass that is very dog friendly. I also have two of the sweetest most playful doodles to keep your dog company!!
“Angelee was great! She is very communicative, she sent us photos and videos of Savannah while we were away. Savannah is not the easiest cat to get along with, and she might be moody when she’s alone. But Angelee took her time to establish a connection with Savannah, play with her favorite toys, and make sure she was cared for. Thank you so much, Angelee! ✨”

“Catherine was an exceptional sitter for my cat after we had moved into our new place only a week prior. She gave her lots of attention and cuddles and updated us with tons of pictures. Highly highly recommend.”

“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.”

“This is our second time using Jordan and she is absolutely great! She goes above and beyond each time. She is great with our dog and also with communication. Cannot recommend her enough!”


About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and understand how important it is to know your pet is in caring hands. I had the privilege of owning my own dog for 12 wonderful years, which gave me firsthand experience with daily care, feeding, exercise, playtime, grooming, and providing plenty of love and attention throughout every stage of life. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve also dog sat for neighbors, making sure their pets stayed comfortable, safe, and well cared for while they were away. Whether it’s going for walks, sticking to a routine, playing, or simply keeping a dog company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is receiving dependable, compassionate care. Here’s a concise, genuine response: I have a flexible internship schedule during the week that allows me to provide reliable pet care, including morning, afternoon, and evening visits as needed. Since I have weekends off, I’m also available for weekend care and can give pets plenty of attention and companionship. Even during check-in visits, I’ll make sure your furry friend gets plenty of love, attention, playtime, and the care they deserve. My goal is to help them feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Kaylee was wonderful to work with! On time and quick to tell me if she wouldn’t be. Professional in her communication and took her time to get to know my dog. She walked my dog and then stayed with her the full 30 minutes. Your pet will love her!”

I cannot recommend Dina enough! After having some bad experiences with pet sitters in the past, I was extremely nervous about leaving my dog. On top of that, I was leaving to take the Bar Exam, so I absolutely did not need any extra stress or worries while I was away. Dina was truly amazing from start to finish. She sent frequent updates, tons of photos, and kept me informed the entire time. Every message reassured me that my dog was happy, safe, and being so well cared for. It made such a difference and allowed me to focus on my exam instead of worrying about my pup. It’s obvious Dina genuinely loves animals and treats them like they’re her own. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and I couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, communicative, and truly goes above and beyond, DINA IS THE ONE! I will absolutely be booking with her again!

Lydia is great! I’ve booked with her a couple times now and will continue to use her in the future! She’s always been flexible with me on dates and times and always takes awesome care of my golden. I always appreciate her thorough updates with lots of photos. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

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.

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!
