“Amanda was great! She stayed at our house for a week and took amazing care of our pups. She was very communicative and sent pictures throughout the week! We will definitely be using her again :)”

“Savanna is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to our family! We have always kenneled our dogs in the past and coming home from vacation was always a nightmare. Trying to navigate drop off and pick up times, not to mention the dogs come home smelling and needing baths, and they spend most of their time caged up. Savanna stayed at our house, loved on our babies like we would and took the most amazing care of them. We were able to enjoy our vacation and came home with our babies clean, loved on and there was no readjustment period like when they go to the kennel. Savanna will be the only one loving on our fur babies anytime we go out of town from now on!! She is the absolute sweetest human being, honest, trustworthy, so incredibly kind and very well experienced with animals. I was completely confident in leaving them with her and look forward to the next time she can come love on them!”

“Bri did a great job following all instructions for our old man Bo. He was happy and healthy and well cared for. She gave updates and sent photos each day. Our home was well taken care of as well with no messes left behind. She was very sweet to get to know us at the meet and greet. Very sweet person and will definitely contact her again to watch Bo!!!! Thank you so much Bri!!!”


“Chris took great care of our two dogs and our house while we were away for about a week. He took the time to get to know our dogs and even got them a special treat! We would be happy to book with him again.”

About: I have taken care of horses my entire life and have pet sit for other family and friends. I have experience with all kinds of animals and even have some of my own! I am a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule for caring for pets as a perfect side gig! I am willing to do multiple visits a day! I live in a house with an outdoor cat- there are dogs that live in the neighborhood but are fenced in. In my client’s home, it is my goal to keep everything organized and clean.
About: I’m a longtime cat owner and have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve cared for my own cats (Willow and Forest) and also helped care for a family’s dog while babysitting — feeding, walks/potty breaks, playtime, and keeping routines consistent. I’m detail-oriented, respectful of your home, and I communicate clearly with updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Hello! I’m currently attending university and majoring in mass communication and marketing with a minor in psychology. I work part-time as a receptionist. My current schedule is that I’m free weekdays, with classes Mon/Wed 12:30–1:45 and Thurs 2:00–6:15, and you usually work Fri/Sat/Sun daytime, so weekend evenings are your best bet :) My care style is routine-based and body-language focused. I don’t force interaction; I let pets settle in and I build trust first, especially with cats. I provide attention and affection when they want it, and I watch closely for cues (hunger, stress, overstimulation, fatigue). I follow all instructions precisely such as feeding, fresh water, litter maintenance, walks/potty breaks, play/enrichment, and any special notes. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent, and I send updates/photos so you’re never guessing.

“Sabrina was awesome. Very flexible and the my weird timings and request. Took some time but kulfi warmed up to her in no time. She did everything that was asked for and gave kulfi the time I wanted her to have. She was walked on time, fed on time and give pets. Communicated very well and sent photos.”

About: A lifelong love of animals has led to me learning how best to care for them from a young age. I'll make sure your pets feel happy, comfortable and safe! I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, turkeys, and guinea pigs, and I'm willing to work with all animals except arachnids and insects. I wake up at around 8 every day and go to bed around 11, and I can adjust pretty easily if I need to be up earlier or later. I can mold my schedule to another routine very easily (and enjoy doing so!) and working with animals fills me with so much joy that doing the best job possible is barely a job at all. I'll meet your pet where they're at. If they don't want to be sociable, that's fine! I'll make sure they're fed and have water and they can come to me in their own time. If they want to be attached to the hip from moment one, I love that too.
“Great communication and I could tell from what they were saying about Roger that he was well taken care of and they were truly spending time with him. Will definitely book them again!”

“As first-time Rover users, we were initially nervous, but Taryn immediately set our minds at ease. She warmly suggested a meet-and-greet to ensure it was a good fit for us and our pets. While we were away, Taryn was excellent with communication, checking in upon arrival and sending regular photos and updates. Coming home was a delight; our house was spotless, our dogs were happy, fed, and well-exercised, and Taryn had even thoughtfully started a load of household linens in the wash. We have no doubt our animals adored her and received the very best care. We will absolutely be asking Taryn to return!”

“Olivia followed all instructions and took amazing care of my cat. We had a longer stay, and she and Garfi became very close. She communicated well with us throughout and even looked after our house while we were away. We will definitely book her again!”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals so friends and family have relied on me over the years. Also, I have raised four children and many pets. I create my own schedule so reach out and we can make a time that works for you. I’m flexible. Holidays included as well as Christmas Native to the area. I have experience with many different types of animals over the years and I have four grown children and a grandchild so I have seen a lot. I’m happy to help so reach out.
“Preston did an absolutely outstanding job caring for our animals while we were away for a week. Our dog, who is both highly anxious and sometimes aggressive, completely warmed up to him - a true testament to Preston’s patience and skill. He not only gave our dog the care and attention he needed but also made sure our two cats, two mini horses, and donkey were all well cared for and happy. We came home to a tidy house, content animals, and total peace of mind knowing everything had been handled so well. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring pet sitter, Preston is the one!”

About: @ahartpetsitting on insta!! I’ve been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. Hermit crabs, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, chickens, you name it! I just love every animal, and I still believe that they can speak, just not when we’re in the room. I work professionally with dogs every single day as a manager of a dog care facility. I’m known for liking the “bad dogs” at work along with special needs and older pets as well (I love powdered sugar faces)! I treat each animal as my own, and I would do the same with yours! I work full time as a manager at a doggy daycare, I would be able to get you a registration forms and take your pup to work with me if you’d like! My job is very flexible so I can also come home at any point and let your pup out instead of bringing them with me. I am also open to not working during the time I care for your pet. Message me and let’s talk! If you don’t have a dog, I am more than happy to talk with you and figure out if I need to come home for breaks or not work! I care for each pet exactly how owners ask me too, just with lots of extra love! I can chill if that’s what your pet likes to do, or I can adventure. I love being outside in nature as well as cozying up on the couch :)
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Kaitlyn took amazing care of my dogs while I was away for work. She was attentive, reliable, and genuinely loving. I came home to happy, relaxed pups and total peace of mind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!”
