Sara did an excellent job watching my large dog and cat over the weekend! She followed all of my directions perfectly and handled my energetic pup like a champ. She sent lots of updates and pics and left my apartment in tiptop shape when she left. Couldn’t recommend her more!

Merissa came through in a pich- very last-minute. The dogs had shredded some papers and she cleaned it up (when she didn't have to). I know I can count on her to take good care of my fur babies.

1st time using Rover and Raye was great. Arrived right on time and sent pics of the dogs while staying. I got home the next day and couldn't tell she was here (no mess, garbage etc) Will definitely have Raye stay with my boys again.

About: I've been around dogs and animals my entire life. My oldest dog has been with me since I was 17 so she's going on 13 years old. I have a 5 year old Great Dane and German Australian mix that I've had since puppies. I'm great at teaching puppies sit, lay down, and recalling. (I'm not a professional by no means) I raised an elder iguana for 6 years before she passed, I grew up with cats of all personalities, and rabbits. I'm not shy or jittery of reptiles, amphibians, spiders or other insects. I work a very flexible work from home job that allows me to step away any time that I need. I can guarantee that your pet will not be alone for more than 4 hours Mon to Fri and Saturday and Sunday I usually have open availability I'm calm, I know stress signals in dogs and cats, I will meet with your animals at their own pace. I will follow any care instructions you have left and I will clean up any found accidents (puppies and other non house broke animals or elderly) including if their crates need cleaned as long as the supplies are easily found without me needing to open cabinets (on a counter or table) I always avoid people and other animals on walks to minimize all risks. I'm very careful when opening door in case someone decides to run, and I don't mind getting during/slobbered on

About: A safe environment for your furry friends when you're away. I will ensure that your dogs receive the attention, care, and exercise they need. From playtime to walks, cuddles to feeding, I will keep your pups happy and healthy. A loving pet owner of a nine year old St. Bernard. Can administer medicine if needed. I will spend mornings and evenings with your pet(s)! I do work full time; if your home is a reasonable distance from where I work, I can drop by for lunch time potty breaks or walks. Your pet will go no more than 8-hours without me being there. As someone who travels often, I know what it feels like to worry about your pet while gone. I will abide by any house rules (even if that means they can’t sleep in the bed with me), and send lots of pictures and updates to give you a sound mind while away from your pups.

About: With over 20 years of experience, I’ve been the go-to sitter for family, friends, and neighbors. I care for dogs, cats, chickens, fish, and even plants! I’m comfortable giving meds, handling senior pets, and keeping things clean and calm while you’re away. I treat every pet like family - because they are. Pet care is a natural part of my routine. I’m available for in-home sitting and dog walking most days of the week. I have extensive experience with cats and senior animals, including administering medications and providing gentle, attentive care. I’m also familiar with caring for chickens, fish, and other small animals. I tailor each visit to your pet’s specific needs and always prioritize their comfort and well-being. I take pride in creating a safe, clean, and stress-free environment for all pets in their own homes. I follow care routines closely, including administering meds or special diets when needed. I'm experienced with multi-pet households and have worked with dogs, cats, chickens, fish, and more. Whether it’s keeping things tidy or offering companionship, your pets are in capable, loving hands.

Julie has cared for animals for friends and families for years. She is a very loyal, kind hearted woman who loves everyone's animals as her own. She has cats and dogs of her own and they are all spoiled rotten. There is not anyone I would trust my animals with more than her. She is a rare find.
