“I needed a last min pet sitter for the weekend and Catherine didn't mind at all! She is amazing! She kept us posted each day and showed the love our dogs and cats needed while we were gone! We'll definitely be using her again!”


“Kaylin was wonderful and there for us in a pinch. She's was able to get to my home quickly, and help me take care of my chickens! So if you need someone who is comfortable with livestock, she's your girl! Thank you so much love for being there to drop and look after them.”


About: I have taken care of pretty much every pet imaginable at some point or another in my lifetime. I currently am a dog mom to a 5 year old boxer, servant to a handicapped senior kitty, and treat dealer to several horses. I am a retired police officer and a caregiver of a friend who is paralyzed (plus her senior cat). I also like to stay busy so pet sitting helps me to stay active as well as gain new acquaintances near home. The caregiving that I perform is pretty set in times of day and I have plenty of time available to help others with their needs. Each pet has different needs so those would be individualized. Being able to feel comfortable with whomever is coming by to feed, play, or walk them is important.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet parent to Heathrow (Golden Retriever), Bear (Flat-Coated Retriever), and Peaches (Golden Mix). Caring for my own pack has taught me how to handle all kinds of dog personalities with love, patience, and fun. Whether your pup needs a walk, playtime, or snuggles, I’ll treat them like one of my own! As a full-time student at MGA, I keep a flexible schedule and plan my days around caring for my three dogs—Heathrow, Bear, and Peaches. Daily walks, feeding, and playtime are already part of my routine, so caring for other pets fits in naturally! Whether in my home or yours, I care for pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I stick to their usual routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions—while keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I focus on building trust with each pet so they feel right at home, wherever they are.

“Evelyn was amazing with our pup! She isn’t the easiest on the leash but Evyelyn had nothing but great things to say about her walk with my baby. She was extremely professional and communication was greatly appreciated when learning about Reds routine. Very punctual, we I’ll be having her back again very soon!!”



“Colby did such a great job taking care of my fur babies. He was very quick to respond to my last minute request for drop-in services. He arrived early and even cleaned up the mess that my fur babies had left. He was very loving with them and is very trustworthy. I will definitely book him again!”


“Paw-some job as always! James has been my go to dog/house sitter for years even before becoming a registered sitter on rover. He really takes care of things as if they are his own, if not better! This time he came to feed our 4 dogs while we were out of town. He couldn’t find where the water dish was for our back yard so he filled one up just in case. I appreciate James so much and hope more people come to know him as the dependable person he is.”

About: With over 30 years of experience caring for dogs, loving animals has always been second nature to me. I’ve had dogs my entire life—they’ve never been “just pets,” but true members of the family. Creating a safe, loving, and happy environment for them brings me so much joy. I’m home during the day, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout their stay. It would truly be our pleasure to welcome your furry family member into our home and treat them like one of our own while you’re away. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I’m home throughout the day and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give your pet consistent attention, plenty of potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love. I enjoy a peaceful home environment, which makes it easy to provide a calm, comforting space for pets to feel safe and relaxed. Whether it’s sticking to a routine or giving a little extra TLC, I’m able to be fully present and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is closely supervised to ensure your pet stays safe at all times. Inside, my home is a calm and welcoming environment where animals are truly treated like part of the family. I have one large, friendly dog who enjoys the company of other pets and helps create a playful atmosphere. I provide care where your pet will receive lots of love, attention, and personalized care in a safe and cozy setting.

“I wish I could give Kirsten 100 stars - she’s wonderful! I am a new cat momma to a rescue and was very anxious to leave. She met me and my fur baby at the house, listening to all my nervous ranting and put me at ease. She sent frequent photos as well as thoughtful messages and updates. I will definitely continue to use her and feel so much better about going out of town.”


About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as i can remember! My family has always had a dog… or two… okay maybe more lol, But I don’t remember a time where we didn’t have a dog family member! I am very experienced with their needs and take wonderful care of all fur babies, not just dogs! I typically work 20-30 hours a week and have 1-2 days off not including Sundays. I am open on Sundays! I am typically home from work at 6pm and go to work at 9am! I follow all rules/directions when caring for animals and do not stray from them. I ensure they receive meals, playtime, and of course snuggles. Whatever they need the fur babies get! In my apartment, we allow all the furniture time they want and free range! My home is theirs when they’re in my care.

Marla M.
“I had the pleasure of seeing first hand exactly the kind of love & compassionate person Marla is. During meet & greet my dog Rock (boxer) was totally in love with all the rubs & attention he was given from Marla. Rock doesn’t take to people easily but yet Marla stole his trust. She will take the time to get to know pets and make sure that are comfortable/completely at ease. She even takes them for walks or to the dog park everyday. I trust her 110% to care for my dogs. I’ve adopted another one too. My spoiled dogs are so spoiled and yet she goes all out to see that they receive the attention they need. Photos/videos are also offered/shared/sent so you know that you pups are happy & loved & treated as as her own.”
