“Elizabeth was wonderful! She gave us great updates on how our fur babies were doing while we were gone, and went above and beyond making sure our house was safe when an unexpected cold front brought temperatures below freezing. We'll definitely be asking for her help again when the need arises!”
“Kristie did a wonderful job with our four cats of very different personalities. She was courteous and pleasant on the initial visit, and sent excellent records while we were away. Our cats, two of which are skittish, took to her immediately. We are very happy with her services, and will engage her again!”
“I could not have asked for better care for my cat while I was gone. Juyne took great care of him and communicated so well that I never had to wonder about the big fluffball. Thank you so much to you both, Juyne!”
“We were so lucky to have Rebecca take care of our cats while we were on vacation! She was incredibly sweet, followed all of our instructions perfectly, & kept us well updated throughout. What really stood out was how much time & effort she put into caring for them I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. Our boys loved her too! Highly recommend & would absolutely book with her again. Thank you so much!”
“Melanie did a great job taking care of our Allie cat while we were away. This was our first time using Rover, and Melanie proved to be responsible, reliable and caring - her daily updates allowed us to relax and not worry about home. We’ll definitely book her again!”
About: I have an extreme soft spot for dogs and wish I could save and care for them all. I have lived on a farm caring for animals of all sorts especially dogs. I have helped train, care and watch dogs for years. I work full time during the week and attend college full time during the week but I love to make time for all animals so, give me all the dogs! Weekends are very flexible for me. Caring for animals inside your home is a different type of trust a client may have. Finding trustworthy people sometimes becomes hard and anxiety filled. I will do anything in my power to gain your trust and approval for me to take your precious babies in my care.

I can swing by during the day on my breaks/lunch hour for 15 mins or more depending on the pet’s needs. I’m up very early so nobody goes off their normal feeding or medicine schedules.

About: I’m deeply empathetic, detail-oriented, and have years of experience in caregiving—which makes me especially attuned to the needs of pets who need a little extra love, patience, or routine. I’m not just a sitter or a walker; I care for your pets like they’re part of my family. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and anxious pups, and I genuinely love creating a calm, comforting environment that helps them feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals as part of my day. Whether it’s a midday walk, a morning or evening drop-in, or helping out while you're at work or away, I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to show up when your pet needs care and company. It’s a meaningful way for me to stay active and connect with animals—something I genuinely enjoy. I treat every client’s home with the same respect I would want for my own. I follow all instructions carefully, stick to your pet’s routine, and double-check that doors, gates, and crates are secure before I leave. I’m very mindful of creating a calm, safe environment—especially for pets who are shy, anxious, or need a little extra reassurance. Building trust is important to me, so I always communicate clearly, provide updates, and do my best to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart.
