“Amber is so caring and attentive to our 3 elderly dogs. We went out of town for 4 days and she sent us frequent pictures and updates. 5/5 or if I could giver her a 10/10!! We’ll definitely be booking her again!”


“Big thanks to grey for taking care of my puppy when I needed help last minute. He’s only 9 weeks old so he needs constant attention, it’s no easy task! I am super appreciative & I know my little pup is too!”


“Lillie was great! Communicated often and send photos as well. Left the house spotless! Milo ate the kitchen mat (for the SECOND TIME) and Lillie offered to reimburse us. Of course we said absolutely not- Milo gets mad when people he likes leaves the house. All in all a great experience! Definitely recommend!”


About: I’ve had several dogs of my own and lived with others: lab/pit mix, pits, two German Shepherds, a Great Dane, a friendly chihuahua, and an evil chihuahua. I’ve rescued dogs off the street, and am all around good with animals. I have a job that gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I do travel from time to time, which is why I don’t have a pup of my own. I can be whatever your dog needs. If he’s old, we can relax together; full of energy? We can throw sticks around and run. Small and skittish? Food is a great incentivizer to build trust. I’m looking to make some extra cash and enjoy the company of your pets. I will make sure your dog is happy, fed, played with, and comfortable. I only take on one client at a time, so owners do not have to worry about their pets interacting with another owner's pets. Your loved ones will have my undivided attention.

About: I am need of full time employment and have been pet sitting for friends and family for over ten years now. I absolutely love dogs and spending time with them because their love is unconditional. I grew up helping take care of my family's dog for about fourteen years and then helped raise a puppy who is turning ten in October. I enjoy being around dogs and playing with them so I feel like this is going to be the right gig for me. I am very positive and outgoing and love spending time outside. I'm currently unemployed and hoping to pick up as many gigs as I can to get a new routine started as I settled in a new location. I adjust based on the animal's needs. Some dogs I've watched have been incredibly more active and needing of attention than others, as well as cats. It's all about hearing what the owner needs for their pets while they're away to ease any anxiety they have of leaving them.

“Brinkley was such a great sitter to our dogs and cat! She was very kind, communicative, and sent us pictures while we were away. We knew our pets were in good hands, and we would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!”


“Morgan was fabulous with my dog and cat! They were both given lots of attention and love while I was out of state. Morgan was also very flexible with changes as they arose. I will be using her again!”

About: I enjoy volunteering at animal shelters when I have the free time, I grew up with dogs, and enjoy watching my friend's pets so I figured I would try this out for the summer! I am looking for a post grad job right now so I have a lot of free time. Your dog would be my number one priority. I keep a checklist on my phone of what and when to feed the dogs and try to get a least a mile in on walks.

About: 🐾 We treat every pup that visits our home with the love and tender care they deserve. Whether it’s playing with them in our fenced back yard, taking walks around downtown Seneca, or simply lounging in the living room, we treat every furry guest like part of the family. We enjoy taking many photos and videos of your babies and writing frequent updates to let you know they are well and in good hands. As life-long pet lovers, we have experience caring for young energetic pups, and those mature friends that may need special care and attention. So, if you just need to drop off your best bud for the day so they don’t have to be alone while you work or doing errands, or for an extended stay while you enjoy a well-earned trip, we are here to be your pet’s home away from home. We offer multiple-pet discounts!

About: What sets me apart is my deep experience and intuitive understanding of animal behavior built over 12+ years of caring for pets. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies to senior pets with special needs. I’ve administered medications, handled dietary restrictions, and adapted care to suit anxious or shy animals. I take the time to bond with each pet so they feel safe, seen, and loved. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and I always prioritize communication so you can feel confident while you’re away. I’m currently working full-time Monday through Friday. Fridays I am available beginning 12:30pm and completely open on Saturdays and Sundays. Feel free to contact me if a different time is needed! At my home, pets have access to a secure yard for supervised outdoor time and a cozy indoor space to relax. I live in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of walking paths for daily walks and fresh air. I also have a small dog who will definitely keep your pup some company. Whether it’s daycare, overnight stays, or boarding, I maintain a clean, calm environment with structured routines, lots of play, and individualized attention based on your pet’s needs.


“Pamela quickly became like part of the family. Elliott was so excited to see her each day. She gave him plenty of entertainment, and was attentive and appropriate in her care. We were able to leave Elliott with her with perfect peace of mind knowing he was in competent and caring hands.”


About: As a pet owner for over 25 years, I know how valuable it is to have a reliable person caring for your animals when you're away. I was recently laid off and would like to have a job working with animals instead of people ( at least for now). I took care of animals and house sat in my twenties and have plenty of experience with dogs and cats. I am currently unemployed, so I'm available anytime. My daughters both have plans for the summer, so I am very flexible on when I can work. Since I have my own animals, I prefer to care for animals in their own home. This is where they feel the safest and have less anxiety while their owner is away.

“My booking with Kylie was great! We worked out a time for her to come meet me and my dogs before her scheduled house/dog sitting appointment and the dogs loved her right away. She was very responsive while I was out of town, even sending pictures of the dogs lounging on the couch and loveseat. I arrived home early and she prompted modified the booking to reflect that so Rover would change the amount due. Very pleasant woman and I will absolutely be using her again!”

Kalie P.
“We were away for 10 days when our original in-home sitter had to cancel last minute, and Kalie was a total lifesaver. She stepped in quickly and took amazing care of our two pitties and our sweet kitty. One of our dogs needs a weekly injection for allergies, and Kalie handled it confidently and with no fuss. When our other pup wasn’t acting right, she checked in with us and then took him to the emergency vet without hesitation. We were so grateful she was paying such close attention. She kept us updated throughout the trip, and during our FaceTime check-ins, it was clear our crew was calm, happy, and totally comfortable with her. It gave us so much peace of mind to know they were in such capable and caring hands. As an added bonus, Kalie left our house cleaner than when she arrived, which was a wonderful surprise after a long day of travel. She truly loves animals, and it shows in everything she does. We appreciate her more than we can say and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dependable pet sitter.”
