“We love Kacie. She has watched our cat Roo twice now and it is so great to have someone familiar with Roo and our home to watch him. She is always so responsive and takes amazing care of our buddy. Traveling has now been way less stressful trying to figure out who can take care of Roo. Thank you so much, Kacie!”


“I highly recommend Melissa. She is dependable and kind. She keeps you informed every step of the way and this makes vacationing with animals a pleasure. Thank you Melissa!”


“Katherine did such a great job! My dog gets very shy and nervous around new sitters and she was able to get him warmed up very quickly! She is also very flexible and was able to work around my changing schedule :)”


“Paris' drop-in visit is just what our Sadie needed during the evening while we were out. Paris let me know when she arrived, how Sadie was during her visit, sent pictures and let me know when she left. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking for someone to take care of their fur baby/babies. Thank you Paris!”


“Carley, thank you for your excellent care of our two kitties, keeping up with our big boy's meds, getting our shy girl to come out and enjoy time with you, giving them loving attention, and managing their food/water/litter. Much appreciated & will contact again when we need coverage. Thank you!”


“Holly M. is amazing! She is the best pet sitter I have ever hired. It is very clear how much she loves animals and how much mine love her. My dog is initially apprehensive around new people, and Holly knew exactly how to handle it. She is so friendly and easy to work with, and she is reliable, trustworthy and she goes way above and beyond. Lulu can't wait to see her again! I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”


“Vincent is the best! He is so thorough and knowledgeable about dogs. He took our dog out every day for a good walk and even cleaned up some messes the dog had made around the house. He is incredibly trustworthy and kind. I would highly recommend him to anyone.”


“Marisa went above and beyond during her check-ins with our strong-minded Stella. She came the day before the first check-in to meet Stella and made a big effort to get to know her and connect with her. Stella now counts Marisa as one of her best people. We very much appreciated the pictures, videos and reports. It gave us peace of mind to enjoy our time away knowing Stella was happy and taken care of. We highly recommend Marisa and look forward to the next time.”


“Kenzie did a fantastic job with Poko. She came as scheduled and sent pictures of Poko while we were out. We just got home and Poko seems very happy. Would definitely like to work with Kenzie again.”


About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them never feels like work—it’s something I truly enjoy. I’ve spent a lot of time with pets and I love getting to know their individual quirks and personalities. Whether it’s a playful pup, an older dog, or a cat, I take the time to connect and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy. I believe pets deserve our full attention and respect, and that’s exactly how I approach every visit. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m here to make that easy for you. I’m excited to meet your furry friend and give them the care they deserve! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I do work part time but I’m able plan my schedule to make sure I’m fully available and focused during each visit or walk, and I always allow time for travel, play, and updates to pet parents. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening cuddles, I make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need—no rushing, just quality time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible to keep their pet comfortable and stress-free. I take time to understand feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions so everything stays consistent. I make sure pets feel safe, respected, and loved in their own space—whether that means going for a walk, playing, or simply being a calm presence. At home, I have a dog who I adore. Caring for him daily has taught me how important it is to give pets the attention, structure, and love they need. I make sure he’s well-fed, gets his favorite treats, and always feels included and cared for. That same level of care is what I bring to every pet I look after. Cleanliness and communication are also important to me. I keep things tidy and will always give updates with photos or notes, so owners know their pet is in good hands.

About: My husband and I recently returned from Costa Rica where we volunteered on a dog farm assisting with bathing, grooming and giving lots of love to almost 2,000 rescued dogs that live there. My husband also has a separate rover account under Maxi S. During my high school/college years my mother trained 5 different dogs for guiding eyes for the blind which I helped in the training process as well while home. I also started housesitting and caring for pets of local neighbors at the young age of 10. We have always had dogs in my home. I couldn’t imagine living without a dog. I have experience with dogs of all ages, puppies to senior dogs. I myself have a 9 year old cocker spaniel who thinks she is a human. I understand all pet owners and their pets have different needs and will respect any rules required to give your pet the care they need. I will treat your dog like my own. My family just returned from Costa Rica. My husband and I are both looking for flexible part time work which allow us to still care for our 1.5 year old son. You can also find my husbands separate rover account under maxi S. At the moment our schedule is open and flexible but as we find work our schedules will be changing depending. We have a good sized yard which is not fenced in but in a quiet neighborhood with a cul-de-sac. I don’t usually crate my dog, but if your dogs are crated I am familiar with crate training.

Her smile and positive approach towards life - infectious. Any pet is in great hands with Morgan. And it won’t take long to notice her passion and enthusiasm when with animals. She certainly checks all the boxes for an opportunity like this.”
