“Jamilla was so nice and great with the cats! She gave my kitten medicine for a cold and they were very happy with her and well taken care of. Would definitely have her sit again!”

About: I have a taken care of dogs since I was little. I currently have a very playful 4 year old lagotto. When I was younger I offer watched and walked my neighbors and sisters pets whenever they went out of town. Work 9-5 during the work week. Come home to walk and let my dog out during lunch. Home for most of the day on weekends. Being away for a hour or two max. I have a fenced in yard and a very playful 1 year old lagotto myself. If needed I can crate mine if needed and separate while feeding. Pets are allowed on furniture as they see fit. Let me know if you would like our dogs to meet first if you are unsure!

“So grateful to Shana for saving our weekend getaway after our care arrangements fell through. She took good care of our four dogs via drop-in visits and took care of giving them their meds. We will use her again.”
“She did a great job taking care of my pup and sent plenty of pictures during her visit. Was able pick me up as a last minute client which was incredibly appreciated, do recommend checking her out for your pet care needs!”

About: My husband and I are empty nesters with 4 Husky fur babies. After our kids grew up and moved out, we decided to become parents to these 4 great Husky fur babies. We will open our homes and our hearts to your fur babies when you need us. My husband is retired and home all day to care for them. His favorite hobby is making home-made dog treats! I still work full time, but I am home spoiling our babies when I'm not at work. Our dogs get along very well with other dogs. We believe in lots of treats, loves, play, and petting! We will give your dog all the love you would in your absence! I currently work full time and my husband is retired and at home all day caring for our dogs. Because of our schedule, we have a lot of time to devote to your fur baby or babies! We have a fenced back yard where my dogs safely run and play. We also have a safe neighborhood with sidewalks that we can walk the dogs. Our dogs have a room where they stay if we leave the house. Their room has couches, a television, and windows for them to watch outside. If you prefer, we can also crate your dog at appropriate times as well.
“Lauren is a natural with cats. Our senior boy loved her attention. She fed the animals on time and spent time with them. When one was hiding she reached out to us to figure out where he could be. We will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve been a lover of dogs & cats since I was a kid. Animals always gravitate towards me. I’ve had pets since I was about 15 years old. I have nothing but time to give to all pets. Your baby will get all the cuddles & butt scratches they can handle! I’m not working at the moment so I have all the time in the world to give to your furry babies! I’m able to do drop in visits/walks at your home. I can also do boarding at my home. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for your baby to run around & play. The house is big enough to keep all the babies separate just in case there are any temperament issues.
About: I have been taking care of dogs my entire life. And the last 4 years I have been taking care of 2 Rottweilers basically on my own. I have trained dogs of all sizes and I have the patience for a misbehaving dog. Plus I love dogs to much not to want to spend time with some and take them on walks. Usually after school I have nothing to do. So filling that time in with a little pet sitting would be beneficial for me. And the extra excessive I get wouldn’t be bad at all. I’m good with the basic necessities like feeding, walking, and interacting with the dog. Making sure they are not getting into something they’re not supposed to. Definitely walks because I’m not to happy about cleaning up a dogs waste.
About: With over five years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and three years with cats, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate approach to every pet I meet. As a proud pet parent to a playful Pitbull, a loyal King Shepherd, a curious Tabby, and a cuddly Calico, I truly understand the unique needs and personalities that come with each breed and species. I’m experienced with everything from puppy energy to senior pet routines, and I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, medications, and hygiene. Whether you’re away for a weekend or just need daily support, I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own—with love, patience, and plenty of attention Pet care is part of my everyday life. As a pet parent to two dogs and two cats, I’m already on a daily schedule that includes morning walks, feeding routines, playtime, and grooming. I structure my days around their needs, which makes it easy to integrate the care of other pets into my routine. Whether it’s early morning check-ins, midday walks, or evening feedings, I’m flexible and fully committed to making sure every pet I care for gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s how I live. For walks and drop-ins, I follow your pet’s routine and give them the attention they deserve. Walks are tailored to their pace and energy, and drop-ins include feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of love. I also make sure your home stays secure and send photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe.
“Thank you Robyn and Steven for another great experience taking care of Maggie and Spencer and their feline friends. Thank you for always being there available. We need to plan more trips just to have you guys come over. You are appreciated.”

“Sarah was the best cat sitter I think I have ever used. She really seemed like she cared about my Kitty, spending extra time with him and he loved it! She even brought a toy that he is obsessed with! It gave me great comfort to know my little guy was in such caring and experienced hands.”

“I was really impressed with everything about how Mia took care of my pets. I booked several drop-ins for a weekend for one cat and one dog. Scheduling with her was a dream! This was really helpful because the trip was last minute. While she visited with the pets, she made sure to leave lots of notes and photos through the app which made me feel reassured that everything was fine. There were no accidents while I was gone and I came home to a house in perfect condition - nothing was torn up and both pets had full food and water. It can be really scary giving someone access to your home and pets. Mia made this process feel safe and took incredible care of my pets. I would highly recommend her as a sitter and intend on re-booking for future trips.”

“Lindsey and Jose were amazing! I can't thank them enough for the way they took extra special care of our dogs. Their patience, communication, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond were impressive. We are so grateful and appreciative of them. Being away from my dogs caused me anxiety; Lindsey absolutely took the time to make me feel at ease and provided a ton of updates and pictures. We are excited to have people we can trust with our dogs moving forward and look forward to booking them again....thanks Lindsey and Jose!!!”

“Quick to respond, super accommodating, very sweet. I messaged her the day before I needed a sitter and she made time to come for a meet and great with Bennie that night. She kept me updated and sent tons of cute photos of him.”
“Kristen from Rover provided exceptional dog-sitting while we were out all day. She kept us in the loop with picture updates and messages, ensuring we felt connected to our dogs while we were gone. Kristen's dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals were evident throughout. We highly recommend her for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

We had such a great experience with our sitter! He was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of our dog during check-in. I really appreciated the updates and photos—it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!

Therisa is the best cat sitter! She works with my schedule and is very understanding. She goes above and beyond each visit and my cats are always happy and healthy when I get home from trips. I sometimes have complicated instructions and she never has any issues. I never have to repeat instructions for repeat visits either, she is always on the ball!
