“Brandi took great care of my 2 cats while I was away for a week. As someone who gets very nervous about leaving my babies behind when traveling it was nice to know that they were in good hands ☺️”
About: I’ve grown up with two dogs—one small and one large—so I’m comfortable handling all sizes. I enjoy caring for high-energy dogs just as much as calm, cuddly ones. Whether it’s playtime or downtime, I adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I do not have a job, I am looking but am currently unemployed and starting school again in August! I will have plenty of time to visit your pups this summer and even during school:) I have a fenced backyard with lots of space and trees for your dog to run around!! I have a Big German Shepard who is friendly and loves to play with other dogs outside!!
“Cydney was wonderful and a huge relief to our family as we were scrambling to find a last minute carer for our socially needy cat over a three day weekend! She consistently communicated with us with updates, including photos that showed us how relaxed our cat was with her presence during visits. We were very lucky to be able to book with someone who understood our human & cat needs during our time apart. Highly recommend :)”
“Awesome to work with! Very dependable and a great communicator. So glad she was able to drop in and check in on our kitties while we were away. Would easily rebook with again! Thanks so much, Jessica!”
“Kelsie did great with my dog! Aspen loved connecting with her during our meet and greet. Kelsie was very kind and professional. I will definitely be reaching out to her on a regular basis.”
“Fern is truly a 5-Star pet sitter. The pictures clearly show that our cat loves to be with Fern who gives him plenty of attention and looks after all his needs. We’ll definitely be booking Fern again!”
“Was very willing to help us with our puppy and took him for a nice long walk! He looked so happy in the picture that was sent! Very efficient with communication too! Thank you!”
“This was the first time I used Rover and was quite a nervous mother of my cat. I met with Elly and she was very professional and during the meet and greet she took notes the whole time. Was very impressed the attention to detail and the comfort she provided. I knew she was going to take care of my kitten as I would. I booked for that weekend and then a mandatory work event came up. But instead of cancelling she offered her fiancé as an option. I couldn't ask for more from an individual. Everything was how I left it and my kitten was well cared for. If you are ever in need of care Elly is your gal!!! Lisa”
About: I’ve always had animals big or small. I know the feeling of a set schedule. So I’d be so happy to be there for your animals set schedules. I have time in my schedule to hangout with your animals. I can do anything from stopping by to let them out or feed them. Walking and getting exercise would be fun with an animal. My dogs love outside, laying down, playing or going for walks. I can do those for your animals or just hanging inside relaxing and keeping them company.
About: I have helped to take care of a variety of personalities of family pets over time. Between an elderly dog who needed help with basic mobility, medication, and anxiety management, to a long-term shelter adoption who need extra attention with socialization and training, to newly trained puppies, I've worked with a variety of animals. I work free lance and I am on my own schedule to set work. I have all the time to dedicate to your fluffy family members. I approach every animal like I approach people: with individual humility and by getting to know them. Every animal is unique and deserves the best, individualized care that I can provide. I approach with love and affection and let the animal inform the relationship from there.
“First time booking wirh Michelle. She lives in the same town, has all kinds of pets & loves cats. We scheduled a meet & greet to learn what the pets needed. I appreciated that very much. Michelle took fed & watered & took photos of my outdoor cats and also tried to have cuddle, offer affection & pet them time as booked, but cats werent used to her. I thanked her for trying.

About: I have grown up around pets and have owned dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I have experience sitting for neighbors and friends. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, and small animals. I have taken a veterinary assistant course which helps me to know how to best care for your pet! I have never met an animal I didn't get along with and would love to meet and care for yours! I work part-time from home and my work will travel, so I will have lots of time to provide whatever care your pet might need! I will provide compassionate, exceptional care for your pet in your home, keeping them in their own environment. I am available for drop in visits or to spend the day with them if you are at work or on vacation. I would love to play with your animals, keep them company, let them out, feed them, walk them, and whatever else you may need!
“Rylee did an outstanding job caring for our pups. She did everything we asked and we were at ease leaving them in her care. Rylee is very responsible and makes sure the dogs get enough exercise and outside time. I highly recommend booking her for any service you need with your dogs. Look forward to having her care for ours again! Thank you Rylee!”
About: I frequently pet sit for my both my sisters and parents animals. One was a siberian husky, another is a dachsund/terrier mix and the others were a mixed hound breed and a poodle/bichon frise. I also petsit and did overnight visits with a previous professors golden retriever and golden/Irish setter mix. I own a small mixed breed dog (similar to a Jack russell)Russell, and grew up with a Brittany Spaniel and a West Highland White Terrier. I also have frequent contact with my boyfriends parents dogs: a dachshund, and a cattle dog. I work part-time currently, and am scheduled Wed, Thurs, and Fri, and the occasional Saturday. I am available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day, and mornings on Wed, and Thurs. I currently live in a condo so my small dog is ideal for the space. Since my dog is reactive to other dogs, I would be doing only clients homes overnights, visits, and walks.
“Marlene was a lifesaver when our pet plans fell through right before our vacation. My dog, Maggie, can be rather difficult, to say the least. Marlene came to my house and cared for Maggie with competence and compassion. She, also, took care of my birds and cat. She kept me updated on the home situation and I was completely comfortable, knowing that they were all well taken care of. I would recommend her without hesitation. Talli”
