“Laura is so nice, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I know my two huskies can be a handful, but I felt so at ease having her stop by to let them go potty and eat dinner while I was out of town on a day trip. I was able to enjoy my time and not have to worry about their safety. She was sure to clarify any questions and followed all their medication needs. I know my dogs enjoyed having someone stop by and give them some loving while I was gone too. She also sent me the cutest pictures of my babies! So grateful for Laura!”

“Meghan is awesome!! My dogs love her and so do I! Reliable, handled my dogs either ease, and provided timely updates on how the visits went. Will definitely use her again!”
“Brittany was great! She was super communicative and friendly. She engaged with our dog so well and her visits with her went perfectly. We are appreciate her help and would absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Brittany!”

“Christina was great! She was responsive and good and communicating her visit and how my cat was doing during her time watching her. She took great care of my cat while I was out of town.”
“Bronte is a great addition to my dogs routine. She is very reliable and trustworthy and my dog Luna, loves her. Knowing Luna is cared for while I'm at work makes me feel so happy and relieved!! 5 shiny stars for Bronte:)”

About: I have been walking two Dogs for the past two years and have owned both Cats and Dogs myself. I’m experienced, reliable, and love animals I’m currently working remotely so I have alot of available time to help care for your pets. With some notice I’m willing to help in any way I can. I’ll care for your pet in your home just like my own. I’ll keep them safe, fed, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine and environment.
“Marby was wonderful. She took extra special care of our cats, one of which had a wounded paw and needed extra attention. She kept in touch with us every day and left the house clean, floors vacuumed and trash emptied. Truly a great house/pet sitter. Could not recommend enough and will hire her again.”


“Jen is pleasant, friendly and capable cat sitter. One of my cats who is reticent with strangers immediately went up to her and eventually let Jen comb him. That’s big! And it was helpful that she could give medications.”

About: Aside from owning and loving dogs my entire life. I enjoy taking care of them and being dependable when life gets busy. I get it. I’m a part time worker and full time mom. My mornings are free after school drop off until 1p. I am available for walks/play time. I am open to meeting your pup in advance, to make sure we are both comfortable with each other when I come to walk them.
“Jackie is the best. She’s super patient and understanding. Ribbon is not the easiest and Dallas is a spunky puppy. But she takes the time to make sure they’re taken care of.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, small animals and horses for over 20 years. Recently, we have been fostering cats and dogs through local rescue groups. I work from home and have a flexible environment. I don’t have children and my schedule is flexible to walk, play and care for your pet. My house has a gated back yard and patio, surrounded on all sides by a large retention wall & fence to keep pets safe.We live in a quiet and safe neighborhood with multiple parks within a couple of blocks of our house.
“Michelle was amazing! She sent daily updates of our kitty and took the time to cuddle with her while we were away- we’ll definitely think of Michelle next time we need a sitter!!”

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I understand their needs for a fun, caring and safe environment. I’m confident to be a reliable pet sitter for ur furry friend. I have my own best friend who loves belly rubs so I can say I’m an expert on bully rubs and having a good time . I’m currently a college student who has a good amount of free time for walks and care. My morning work best but afternoon are great as well. Whether I'm in my own home or theirs, I maintain a clean and safe environment. I’ll always make sure to get details from owners about the needs and preferences their pets have.
About: My family and I adore and often spoil animals! We have lots of experience with medicated senior dogs, and I am currently in college to become a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Though I am in school and am part-time employed, I will have plenty of time and attention given to your pets! I am completely free Monday through Friday this summer. My mother Mindy is also home almost all day as she works from home, and will be helping care for your pets. I have a small friendly dog named Darci to keep your pets company, a safe and quiet neighborhood to walk them in, and a fenced grass backyard for them to potty or play in.
“Sophia was very easy to work with, she was super sweet to my pup and granted all my requests during her visit. She communicates well before and during the visit. Would definitely work with her again!”

About: I grew up with dogs for 8 years. My dog is one years old, and loves to play. I can assist you with puppy training! I’m currently home all day and can watch your dog throughout the day and am also able to board as well. Weekends are slightly harder but if it works it works! I have a dog who is now one year old. He loves to play and go on walks. I also have experience with older dogs. I take my dog out for walks about every 4 hours up until bed time. Dogs are allowed to be on my couch or my bed so long as they are clean. If your dog loves to cuddle they will fit right in ❤️
“Met Darla for the first time over Rover.com, but right off the bat, she seemed very responsible and dog loving that I had no doubt she’d take good care of our boys. She helped us on Drop In service twice a day to feed the dogs, give injections to one of them who is diabetic, and minor spot cleanings. She was very punctual and provided updates with photos in a timely manner throughout the entire 4 days we were gone. Overall she did an excellent job and would certainly recommend to other neighbors around for any petsitting needs. Thanks again, Darla!!!”
About: What sets me apart is the love and patience I have for animals. I personally raised my sweet dog since she was just one month old, so I understand how to care for young puppies with tenderness and responsibility. I may not have formal experience, but I treat every pet as if they were my own — with love, respect, and attention. I truly feel a connection with animals and enjoy making them feel safe and happy. I’ve also helped care for pets of family and friends, and I always do my best to make them feel loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care during the mornings and some afternoons or evenings. I enjoy being active, so going on walks or playing with dogs fits perfectly into my daily routine. I’m very responsible with time, and I love spending quiet moments giving attention, cuddles, or just making pets feel safe and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely to keep their routine as normal and comforting as possible. I give them fresh water, food, walks, and lots of attention — always with love and patience. I respect the client’s home as if it were my own, and I keep everything clean and organized. I also take time to connect with the pet, understand their behavior, and make them feel safe while their owner is away. I truly believe animals feel our energy, so I always bring calm, kindness, and warmth to their space. I care for them like I would want someone to care for my own dog.
About: I have 4 years of experience dog walking and doing drop-ins. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, brush their teeth and fur and play with their dogs. I love animals and I love what I do! I will treat your dogs just like if it was my own! I’m looking for full-time work at the moment whether it’s walking, drop-ins, or house sitting at your home with your dogs. I’m available from 9am-7pm for dog walking and drop-ins daily. When caring for my client’s pets at home I continue the dog’s daily routine that has been established by the pawrent’s, create a safe space that consists of familiarity and comfortability, regular exercise and play time, positive reinforcements, and stay in communication with the pawrent’s.
