“Karleigh took our drop in request on short notice and was super responsive and flexible throughout the week. We felt very confident leaving our cat in her care and she went above and beyond to make sure we came back to a clean house and a happy cat.”
About: I’m a dog dad of 3, I’ve grown up around all animals. I love my children and I want to be able to help people take care of theirs if they need it. Sometimes I like to bring my wife along to help, if you’re not okay with this please let me know and I’ll make sure it’s only me. I’m currently going to online school which leaves me with a lot of extra time for extra work such as Rover. Outside of taking care of my own babies. I am able to do stop in visits to take care of your fur babies for either a walk, to let them out, or to give them company for some time if they need it.
“Sarah is a fantastic sitter. I trust her with my dog emphatically. She gives my pup lots of love, long walks, communicates clearly and transparently and sends me pics that puts me at ease when I’m away from my baby. My fave sitter ever.”
“Carla was wonderful checking in on my cat while I was out of town for a few days. Loved getting pictures. I will definitely use her for future cat sitting! Thanks so much, Carla!”
About: I have a passion for animals, especially dogs I have had experience with pets for a couple of years and will be sure to take care of your fur babies. I can currently care for your cherished pet between 6-11:30 on the weekdays and anytime during weekends as long as you give me a little notice I will give your pups my full undivided attention and all the care they need you can trust they’ll be well taken care of when you leave them with me
About: I've loved animals my whole life, back to the days of summer camp at the National Zoo. I've walked many different dogs through watching friends' and neighbors' pets and volunteering at local animal shelters. I'm also a cat lover who has had cats in the house my whole life, and I even have some experience with pet fish! Animals of all sizes and personalities will be well-loved when spending time with me. :) Added bonus: I'm an excellent pet photographer, so I promise I'll get your furry friend's best side! I'm on summer break from school starting June 19, 2026, so I'll be available most days (including daytime, evenings, and weekends) unless I'm traveling! Before then, I'm available evenings and weekends. My priority is making sure your pet is safe and feels safe with me. I will always ensure your animal has food and water, bathroom access, and protection from other animals. I'm happy to accommodate any pet-specific concerns, too -- I have lots of experience with reactive dogs and will discuss your pet's needs before I spend time with them. I'm committed to spending as much time as needed making sure an animal feels comfortable with me.
“Erica has been super on-time and communicative, and was able to check in on my cat with a last-minute booking for one more day when our travel plan got delayed. Would recommend!”
“Jay is wonderful with my dogs. They are always so happy when he shows up and my little one eats better for him than she does me. Lol. It's so wonderful to come home to healthy happy dogs who didn't have to be kenneled because we went away. Jay is a Godsend in our busy lives and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting great care for their babies.”
About: I've been caring for animals for over 30 years and have loved pets for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always surrounded by both cats and dogs, and that passion led me to work at an animal shelter where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Over the years, I've had the joy of raising dogs ranging from tiny Yorkies to large Presa Canarios, and today I'm the proud owner of a 5-year-old Border Collie whom I've had since he was just 6 weeks old. I've also cared for senior dogs, including my own beloved senior dog who lived to be 15 years old. Caring for him throughout his senior years gave me firsthand experience with the patience, compassion, and special attention that older pets often need. I'm equally passionate about cats. My current cats were abandoned by their mother at just 4 weeks old, so I bottle-raised them myself. They're now almost a year old and thriving! I've also cared for senior cats, including my beloved cat who lived to the remarkable age of 22. Whether your pet is young, senior, energetic, shy, big, or small, I will care for them as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I strive to provide loving, reliable, and attentive care every time. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing them with the same love and care I give my own. Feel free to give me a try! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a fairly flexible work schedule. This allows me to be available for pet visits and care in the early mornings, midday, late afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a walk, feeding, playtime, medication administration, or simply companionship while you're away, I can provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to follow their routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you're away. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always strive to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration, litter box cleaning, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and regular potty breaks. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, loving, and supervised environment where they can relax, play, and receive plenty of exercise and companionship. I pay close attention to each pet's individual needs, personality, and comfort level. I have experience caring for puppies, kittens, senior pets, and animals with special needs, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and communication. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they're away.
About: I’ve been captivated by animals since a very young age, and have been regularly walking, bathing, and feeding neighborhood dogs of all sizes. I treat every animal like family. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to ensuring your baby feels safe, loved, and cared for. Expect plenty of updates, photos, and loads of affection for your pet! I’ve attended 3 years of Veterinary Camp in North Carolina, and have completed a summer-long Veterinary Internship at Tuskegee University. I am well versed in the realm of all different kinds of animals. My schedule is pretty much completely free, as I’m out of school at the moment, and just spend my time studying and participating in my favorite hobbies. I ensure that pets are comfortable in their environment, I try my hardest not to stray away from their usual routine and I am patient with pets, allowing them to come to me when they are ready.
“Layla is AWESOME SAUCE!! My kitties are typically "anti-humam other than mommy", but one of my kitties actually made contact with her several times. Layla is very sweet, she's observant, she's thoughtful, she's polite, and she genuinely loves and cares for animals. I'm so happy I was able to find her to look after my babies while I was away. I wasn't worried one bit because I knew she was dropping in on them while I was gone, and she took very good care of them!”
About: Hello! I've had dogs all my life and worked as part of a rescue group for part of that time. I love dogs and have a lot of experience taking care of them. I can take them for walks, give them lots of attention and if they take any medication, I have experience with that as well. I'm good with any size dog since I've had a lot of different ones from Cocker Spaniels to Irish Wolfhounds. I don't have any "official" recommendations but I have pet sitted for friends of my family a time or two. I'm also good with multiple dogs, having grown up around 6-12 in my house at any given time, along with multiple cats. I would love to be able to pet sit for you! I currently work from home, so I am able to be flexible when it comes to taking care of your furry family members, rain or shine! I can do doggy daycare in my house if your furry friend gets along with mine, but also more than happy to take care of your pets in your home, whether taking them out for a walk, feeding them, or letting them out into the yard.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. Extensive experience with larger dogs but I love them all. I am able to provide some basic training, car, and lots of love. I have owned mixed breads, boxers, and right now I have a massive that is an amazing girl. I am looking forward to caring for your pet. I have a lot of free time right now and can walk or check in your 4 legged family member anytime you need. I can check in on your other pets as well if you need to and water your plants if needed. I can care for your pets at home, take them for walk, feed them, provide medications, play and train them if needed it. Happy to work with you and your pets needs. I’ve cared for senior dogs, puppies and all ages in between. Animals in general tend to like me and I am comfortable with with all of them, birds included.
“Gina is always great with our animals. She gives our pup almost daily walks during the school year and has dropped in on our kitties when we’re away. She is flexible, responsible, and communicative.”
About: I’ve had dogs for over eight years now and I care for them as diligently as I can. I love any and all pets so if hired I’ll care for them as my own I’m currently working part time in the afternoons from 3-6 along with play rehearsals on Tuesday’s, Thursday’s, and Saturday’s (I’m not called every day) but during the day I’m free for sitting, walking, and playing. I’m good with animals and consider myself a playful but still diligent person. I know how much love and care goes into taking care of a fur baby and follow instructions to the letter so you can rest assured your pet is getting the best care
