“Tara was amazing !!! I have a hard time trusting people with my fur babies but upon meeting Tara I was immediately comfortable. She was so sweet , on time, and gave regular updates ! I insisted she didn’t have to clean the litter daily and she still did! I couldn’t recommend her more !!”
“This was my first time using Rover and McKenna was absolutely wonderful. She took such great care of my kitties and sent pictures with every visit. She took extra time to cuddle with them which did my heart good. I would definitely hire her again, it was a great experience”
“Eva is an excellent dog sitter! She provided me with detailed reports and a lot of pictures while I was away on vacation. She took good care of my 2 fur babies and also took care of my plants. I appreciate the detailed report and could tell that she cared for Mikey and Pixie too. I am so glad I chose her to take care of them and I highly recommend her!”
“Hannah was great with our pet rabbit!! We really appreciated how she typed up a summary after each visit and included plenty of pictures! She was also very flexible and understanding with some last-minute adjustments we had to our care instructions and travel schedule. Our rabbit really enjoyed her company - we would definitely book with her again!”
“Jessica has watched our dog several times now. She leaves pictures and updates after every visit, which we really appreciate. Great experience so far and will continue to book with her!”
About: I have grown up taking care of cats and dogs my whole life. I love animals so much. I currently only have one dog who i take care of but i also walk my neighbors dogs who cant. Everyday i wake up and immediately take my dog out and prepare her breakfast. After we have some play time and i take her on at least 3 walks throughout the day! I have a fenced in yard so i will be able to give them time to play in the backyard and also take them on multiple walks throughout the day! I also have a dog that loves to play!
“Tina is very responsive, caring, and easy to communicate with. She made sure all the specific requests I had were taken care of perfectly. When I came home, my cats were calm and well attended to. I can finally travel without worrying about them!”
About: My ability to bond with pets. I’ve always appreciated animals and understood their needs. I’m respectful and loving to them, curating a strong friendship of trust! I currently am a student and work part-time at my University! I have extra time on my hands during the rest of the week so being able to make some extra money and hang out with animals is the perfect match! I will be sure to take any necessary safety precautions: leashing when walking on street, closing doors, and blocking off hallways if needed. And if noted that the animal tends to run away or scare easily, I will be sure to be extra responsible.
About: I love animals and have experience working with and sitting for a wide range of them, including dogs, cats, and small or exotic animals. I myself have owned over twenty parrots (currently have two in the aviary!) and have extensive experience with fishkeeping — I have four cycled, walstad fish and shrimp tanks! I can walk your dog, clean your cat’s litter box, and even do water changes for your fish if needed! Anything to make sure your little guys are well cared for! I’m a graduate social work student who will be free over the summer, so my schedule is flexible until August. I can make myself available as needed. My own pets are given daily care. I own several disabled animals who require special care in order to get around and eat on their own. I currently have two budgies in a large cage l and two betta fish, each in 5-10 gallon tanks. The parrots are allowed to free fly for most of the day, but they will be put away when your pets are being boarded. In your home, I try not to disturb or move anything that’s not necessary. I’ll make use of only what’s given to me with regards to caring for your pet — but I do reserve the right to cuddle your pet a little more!
About: Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve always had an animal around the house. Whether it was my parents cats, my family dogs, or my grandparents fosters, there has always been an animal in my household! I love entertaining them and playing with them, and I do my best to make sure they feel loved and safe in their spaces! I am a college student who works as a substitute teacher, so weekends are the main time I can provide your pet with the best service possible! But, if you communicate ahead of time and are nearby, I’m sure we can figure out a time for me to drop in, or the chance of me staying overnight to care for your pet! When coming into your home, I want to make sure that I am the best guest possible. Not only do I want your pet to be comfortable with me in their space, but I want you to feel comfortable with me caring for them. Give me the ground rules, the entire run down, and I will put my best foot forward to show you I’m somebody you can trust.
About: I’ve had cats since childhood and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important patience, attention, and care are for pets. Even though I don’t own a dog, I’m very comfortable around them and enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m responsible, gentle, and truly love animals, and I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already care for my own cat every day. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and companionship. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I understand how important trust and safety are when caring for someone’s pet. I always try to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and needs, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect as if they were my own pet.
About: I have personal experience with dogs/cats for 20 yrs., I’m also the neighbor that takes care of the family pet while on vacation or if their human is running late and they need a quick potty break/walk. I’m currently working part-time with no Wednesdays or weekends. I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet, especially on your weekend getaways. I have a completely fenced in large backward and a baby gate to the kitchen in my home. Clients home should be safe for their pets and I will follow instruction on how the client wants me to care and play with their pet.
About: Gentle & reliable dog walker. Grew up with a Labrador, so I know the love (and energy!) dogs bring. Your pup’s safety & fun always come first 😊. My schedule is pretty relaxed. I have a part-time job from 4-8 pm Monday-Wednesday and work from home Thursday and Friday. Weekends are also generally free, but sometimes I have to take time to help take care of some stuff for my parents. My fenced-in backyard and the safety of my neighborhood provide peace of mind. Since I don’t have any other pets in my home, you can rest assured that your pets won’t encounter any issues or conflicts within the household.

“Fijian was everything I could hope for in a cat sitter and MORE! She took excellent care of my babies and sent extremely detailed updates after every visit. She is an adept caretaker and I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her very capable hands. I’ve already booked her for another weekend!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs. I've been a dog owner for most of my life, having cared for my family dog from ages 6 to 16 and now raising another dog since I was 18. This hands on experience has taught me how to understand dogs' unique personalities, routines, and needs at every stage of life. I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or simply having a calm and caring companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping pet parents updated for complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and attention. I work Monday through Saturday until 12:00 PM, which allows me to dedicate my afternoons, evenings, and Sundays to pet care. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding routines, and quality one-on-one attention. I make caring for pets a priority and ensure they receive the same level of care, affection, and reliability that I give my own dog every day. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and routine. In a client's home, I make sure pets stay comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I also provide plenty of attention, affection, and companionship so they feel secure while their family is away. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication. I pay close attention to their behavior, make sure they have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of love, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.
“Michael has been absolutely wonderful with our doggo! He has such a care and attention to her needs, and even helped out when she got into trouble and got into our pantry lol. We have a reactive dog, and he's been great with taking her for walks and managing her energy and needs safely. We can tell that she is very comfortable with him, and would recommend Micheal to anyone with a furry friend! :)”

Jessica was great to work with. Before we booked her, she came by to meet our pups, which immediately put our minds at ease. She communicated well throughout her visits and sent pictures, which we really appreciated. Knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for made being away so much easier. We would definitely recommend her and look forward to working with her again.
Thank you so much for taking such good care of my puppy during the drop-in visit! I really appreciated the updates and photos, and it gave me peace of mind knowing my puppy was in good hands. My puppy seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I got back. I would definitely recommend you and look forward to booking with you again!”
Awesome experience with Lucas and Katherine! A very nice couple that gave our 6 yo 70lb shepherd mix the attention and special care needed to manage her anxiety, epilepsy and diabetes. They were very warm, welcoming and followed our instructions to the T - putting our first timer worries at ease. We will def book again!
Taylor is an excellent sitter. She watched our dog and cat two days in a row. She was on time, followed direction, and was easy to communicate with. Plus both out animals liked her! We would highly recommend Taylor and will definitely be booking with her again.
Hannah is a gem. She's very easy to communicate and schedule with. She clearly loves animals and takes such for care of Pongo. She doesn't just go through the motions but puts effort and energy into spending quality time with our dog. Would recommend to anyone.
Bella did an amazing job taking care of our cat Charlie. She was very sweet and interactive with Charlie, sending pictures during her visits giving reports to us. She is super responsible, flexible, and proactive. She even let us know about upcoming bad weather and reached out to us to check about closing windows in our home. She went above and beyond in taking care of our Sweet Baby and our home while we were gone. I would highly recommend choosing her to take care of your pet. We will definitely use her again in the future.
