“Amanda is great with Dodger. She is enthusiastic and dependable and clearly loves my pup. I have such peace of mind knowing she’s coming for a visit 3 times a week while I’m working. She always includes a photo and lots of details about her visit. I would recommend booking services with Amanda.”
About: I cater each encounter to the dog! Do they want the park, neighborhood or just lazy days on the living room floor…I am here for it! Many friends and family have trusted me to take care of their fur babies whether in their home or mine. It’s all about creating/keeping a comfortable space for the dog! I work full time but my schedule is very flexible to enjoy time in the mornings and throughout my workday with your pup. Off Day = Full Day of Fun! I have a studio apartment and can easily crate dogs. I drive an SUV with plenty room to transport large dogs to the park, lake or vet appointments.
“Alaina was fantastic! She went above and beyond looking after our elderly cat Eddie. She kept us updated daily and we will definitely be using her services again next time we have to travel out of town. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter”
“Cody was extremely helpful, making sure everything happened according to the directions. She loved and handled the pups well who have A LOT of energy! 10/10”
“Lindsay is a wonderful petsitter! My cat Luca is very attached to me and it was his first time with a sitter in my new home. Lindsay found his hiding places and sent updates with pics on each visit (not an easy task in any way).”
“It was nice to meet Ryan and I look forward to him walking/checking in on the dogs”
“Liz was a true godsend! I travelled out of state for a month & needed drop-in care for my 4 year old cat. Liz did a stellar job! She was extremely communicative on her visits, sent photos each day with status reports on Ashling's mood & general well being. Liz performed all requested tasks extraordinarily well. Additionally, her calm demeanor gave me great comfort during this new-to-me process of arranging for pet care via an app. I will 100% reach out to Liz the next time Ashling & I need Rover App services! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”
“Migle was very attentive to my dog and made sure her needs were met. She was very professional and punctual. I will definitely use her again.”
“Rachel was excellent! Thank you so much.”
“Having Sheeri watch Anchovy was such a joy! Thank you for keeping an eye on her and keeping her so happy when we were out of town.”
“Erin was great. She was super responsive and responsible. I have only used her for dog walking but she showed up when she said, took a cute picture of my pup and gave her a great walk. I plan to hire her for dog sitting in the future!”
“Hannah took such wonderful care of our beloved kitty, Minou, over the holidays (including Christmas and New Year’s) for two full weeks. From the moment we booked, she was flexible, communicative, and totally committed to ensuring Minou had everything he needed—plus plenty of love and attention. Not only did we come home to an extremely happy and content kitty, but Hannah also went above and beyond by helping with a few little household things that popped up while we were away. Her frequent updates gave us peace of mind, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. We’re so glad we found her, and we’ll absolutely be booking Hannah again next time Minou needs a sitter!”
“Kate came for drop in visits with our 2 tiny toy poodles. Our girls can be timid but I knew right away after meeting her that she knew how to manage these two. She and her husband took their time getting to know the girls and it was obvious the girls were comfortable! Kate made regular visits and was great about communicating, which put my mind at ease. If I sent a text or called there was always an immediate response. Kate also sent lots of pictures. We just got home from our time away and the girls are happy and healthy. We will most certainly be contacting Kate again. I highly recommend her sitting services!”
“Elise is great - She willingly came by to meet Maggie in advance of the drop-in visit, was very communicative, and clearly loves dogs :) Will definitely be using her on a regular basis.”
“Jessica took excellent care of my 18 year old cat! She spent time with her each visit, made sure she ate and took oral medications, and sent detailed updates with photos every day. It gave me peace of mind that she’s trained in veterinary care. I’ll definitely work with Jessica again.”
“Natalie was available on very short notice when I was in a pinch! I’m very thankful that she was available and she did an awesome job with my kitties!”
“We love Elizabeth! She’s great with my Great Dane and has become our regular sitter. Responsive, great with care instructions, and super reliable. :)”
About: My partner and I adopted our chihuahua mix Mango over a year ago now, and she loves nothing more than her daily hour walk to City Park in the morning. I had my pup Daisy for 17 years and although she's passed now, she loved hiking and walking around the neighborhood. I also lived with my best friend for a few years in college and co-parented her dog from the moment she came home from the shelter. I have taught both dogs basic training such as sit, stay, lay down, heel, paw and cuddle! I work from home and am happy to bring your dog with us or take them out later in the day! Happy to dogsit at my house in Navarre (couple blocks from City Park) also! I have a long fenced yard perfect for throwing the ball or just chasing around. My pup is fully kennel trained and I’m happy to kennel yours or they can chill on the couch when we’re out of the house! In terms of walks I always steer clear of other dogs on walks just in case of reactivity, and love City Park trails for the availability of water and shade!
About: I will be on a running journey these next few months if your pups would love to join! I grew up with a Labrador mix, a Yorkypoo, and an orange tabby. I have house sat for extended weeks and an occasional drop-in since high school. I am confident in caring for pets of any age and medication administration. I am now in my final year at Xavier pharmacy school and truly just miss being around pets! I have experience with feral kitties and earning their trust (see my white and tabby love in my header) so your spicy kitty is good with me. Currently I am in my last year of pharmacy school completing clinical rotations. I am away from home for the mid morning to early afternoon, but I will rush home to your fur babies! Along with housesitting I also work as a nanny where I take pride in the responsibilities placed on me both for the families children and their fur babies. I always ensure that the house is better than when I arrived.

She is very loving with dogs but she can be firm when she needs to be. Most dogs come right up to her, because they can sense she is a kindred spirit.”
19. Sadie W.
“We are so grateful to have found Sadie to take care of our pups. I appreciate the extra love and patience she gives to our elderly and anxious dog, who needs meds and has accidents in the house. She's great at communicating, quick to respond to messages so I'm never worried. She even made a little indoor pillow fort for my dog to help him with his fear of thunder and it worked. My dogs really love her, she's the best.”
