“Damien is SUCH a fabulous human. The extraordinary care he gave towards my fur babies warmed my heart. He went out of his way to text me pictures and updates on how things were going. I absolutely plan on hiring him again! Thanks! Sarah”

“Shirley was fantastic-- she came for a meet and greet on her own time even though we only had a one night booking and took care of both of our aged pets, giving them meds and dealing with an incontinent dog. She did it all with a smile! Highly recommend if you are looking for a nice, detailed oriented and responsive sitter.”

About: Hello there! I am Sam! What makes me a good canadate to watch your furry family member? Well, in my family there has been an animal companion for as long as I can remember. We have had dogs, gerbils, and fish! I have even been described as having potential to become a crazy cat lady. I have had my fair share of experience with older dogs who need special care as my own dog was blind the last couple years of her life; and I have the rudimentary of training dogs as I trained both my blind dog and my current dog sit, down, stay, come, paw, spin, leave-it, and the like. Above all I look forward to spending time with some new furry friends. Currently, I am working part time and I have my own dog, Stormy. So, I am used to the daily tasks of animal care and adding your pet into the mix would'nt change much! On days where I don't work I stay home or have the ablity to take my dog to the dog park or for a long walk. On days I do work I'm gone for no more than six hours. I live in an apartment but I have a big safe neighborhood to walk your dog in as well as a dog park very close by for even more play. I have my own dog, Stormy to keep your dog company on walks or at home. I also have the ability to crate my dog wether the two need some space or they don't mix well. A safe enviroment is my top priority.

“Destiny was wonderful. She was very caring, attentive & efficient. She sent pics & updates. I highly recommend her services & hope she will consider me a repeat customer.”

“Johnathan was absolutely amazing! My dog Luna is dog reactive and can struggle with meeting new people. Johnathan’s calm demeanor and experience with dogs made all the difference for Luna. What I also really appreciated was the constant updates he would provide through messages AND pictures of Luna through Rover. I was fully able to enjoy my vacation because I knew Luna was in great hands. When I came back home from vacation, Luna was relaxed and calmly chewing on a bone. That was one more confirmation that it was a great experience for Luna!”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I grew up with a family dog and have also fostered dogs, which has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable with dog walking, feeding, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience caring for cats, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and spending time with them based on their individual comfort level. Whether your pet loves lots of attention or prefers their own space, I’m happy to follow their normal routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I recently finished graduate school, so I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the care and attention they deserve! I’m available throughout the week and can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care needs. Just let me know what works best for you and your pet! I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away. I will always follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and other care needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your pet’s space and your home. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care while keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind!

“This was my first time having Cassie watch our two girls and home for a week and it was a great experience. She cared for them like they were her own. When we got home they were happy and healthy. She gave timely updates and even got my picky eater to finish her meals. Even my pond fish looked happy! I would definitely book with Cassie again.”

“Alyssa was clutch for me in a last minute need! She was diligent, kind, and communicative with me offering awesome love and service for my zoo!”

“Janelle & Jes were amazing! So responsible, so communicative, so thoughtful, so kind and gentle. I was at total ease knowing our home and dog were being so well cared for. I received the most adorable pictures and updates about our pup while we were away. He was so chill and relaxed upon our returning, not stressed and spazzing which means he was at ease as well and loved having the ladies keep him company. Thank you so much! I would have Janelle & Jes back in a heartbeat!”

“Julia did a fantastic job watching our dog while we went out of town! She was very responsive and took great care of our dog and our home while we were away. We can be apprehensive about leaving our dog home, but Julia allowed us to rest easy and enjoy our vacation because of the care and attention she gave each day. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted professional to watch their pet, and she will be our go-to resource for our dog moving forward.”

“She did a great job with my shy pup, and by day three he was eating out of the palm of her hand. Very regular with pictures and communicative. Would highly recommend and book again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of and loving on the pets of my community since I was 17 years old. I’ve kept cats, dogs, and fish, with various health statuses. Every pet is different, so I make sure to learn their personalities and respect whether they are clingy or standoffish. I can’t wait to hear about your fur babies! I work primarily for myself, so my schedule is customizable and remote. There may be days of the week where I am required to be somewhere for a specific amount of time, but that will be communicated beforehand! Outside of that, I have open availability! Unfortunately, I am not currently able to bring pets into my home. However, I always make sure to respect the clients boundaries. If given the opportunity to take care of your pet, I follow instructions of how the owners prefer for me to watch their pets (which includes food schedule, outside/bathroom time, where animals are allowed in the house, and treats).

About: I’ve grown up in a home with dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I also have a dog of my own whom I’ve had since he was just 3 months old, giving me firsthand experience with the love, patience, and responsibility that come with raising a pet. I understand the importance of keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide loving attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and care based on each pet’s individual needs. I’ll treat your furry family members with the same love and care I give my own! I’m currently balancing work and school, so my availability may vary depending on the day. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each pet’s needs. I’m available to discuss scheduling in advance and will communicate clearly with pet parents to make sure their pets receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Growing up with dogs and cats and raising a dog of my own has taught me the importance of patience, supervision, and responsible pet care. I will follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I respect every pet’s individual personality and will provide a loving, clean, and secure environment.

About: I love dogs and will provide your pets with the absolute best care! I am enthusiastic, communicative, and attentive. I worked with a pet care company where I provided services to 15+ pets, including dog walking and pet sitting. I will always cater to your pets and if they have any special needs I am more than happy to accommodate! I am available daily, morning, evening, and night. I am more than happy to provide check-ins whenever your pet needs. I have a flexible schedule so I can accommodate you and your pet’s needs. I’ll always be respectful of your rules and instructions.

About: Hi! My name is Esther and I am a current grad student with multiple years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes in the comfort of their home.

I currently don’t have any pets of my own (working on it!) but I love volunteering at BARCS in my free time. I do have a full time job that will be transitioning to hybrid soon, but for now I am available for all your early morning/late night and weekend needs! Please reach out with any questions or concerns. I’m currently working full time, with early morning and evening availability.

“Crissy was absolutely fantastic! I got pictures and updates on my pup, daily. She took such great care of our girl and my flowers look better than when I am home! My dog is anxious one and she loved Crissy. We will definitely be using her again.”

Courtney H.

“Addison stayed at our home for one week while caring for our two doodles, and she did an absolutely wonderful job. She provided daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions carefully and treated our dogs like they were her own. When we returned, our pups were happy, healthy, and clearly well loved—and our home was just as we left it, which we truly appreciated. Addison is reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Addison and would absolutely book her again!”
