“My usually extremely shy cat walked right up to Kaitlyn at the first meet and greet visit—she has a way with them! Kaitlyn was diligent about caring for our two cats and sent us a note/pictures at each visit that gave us an idea of how the kitties were doing. She spent time to play with them and give them attention on her visits, as well as went the extra mile to clean up hairball messes with the proper cleaning supplies. When we arrived home, the litter boxes were clean and the cats appeared happy and well taken care of. We were able to have peace of mind on our trip because of Kaitlyn!”


“Delaney was great. We appreciated her thorough updates on our cat and the high quality cuddles she was able to provide while we were gone. Never had Rover service that went so smoothly!”


“This was our first time being away from our cats for more than just a weekend, so I initially had a lot of anxiety being so far away from them for so long. But my stress evaporated after Karissa checked in and gave us updates on them. She does a wonderful job of describing their behaviors which made us chuckle a couple times "Yep that does sound like our cat!" And also takes wonderful pictures as well! She made it feel like they weren't quite so far away! We will definitely book Karissa again in the future!”


“Kayla is an animal-lover through and through! She is polite, professional, and was exceptionally kind to my bunny. I felt comfortable with her in my home, and welcomed her daughter (who is also and animal-lover) who befriended my sweet bunny! I got cute pictures, she followed all my crazy instructions, and left my pet and my space exactly how I asked her to. I will definitely go to Kayla next time I am in need of a pet sitter! 🙋🏻♀️”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 13yrs old, both young to old and small to big in size. My love for animals makes me pet owner’s #1 call. I have also volunteered my time at my local Humane Society where I use my photography skills to photograph animals for their website and any extra time was spent in playing in the cat room and getting the dogs outside for some play time. I’m hoping to take this career on full time so my availability is open to give you the opportunity to give your pet the care and attention it needs throughout the day. When your pet is with me they have my full attention whether we’re in your neighborhood or my own. My home is located in the country with trails we’ve made through our property to give pets a clear and safe path to roam while on leashes.

“I really appreciated Jordan’s communication and pictures he sent. My normally very shy cat warmed up to him right away, so that says something about his demeanor! I’d recommend him and would ask him to check in on her again.”


“We’re so happy to have found Samantha to care for our Al sweeties while we’re away. She sent lots of pics and a very thorough rundown of each visit. I appreciate all of that so much.”


About: There's never been a time in my life where I've lived without at least a couple of critters running around, from cats and dogs to crustaceans and weasels. Though I've never made a profit off of looking after others' pets, I've spent a fair amount of time fostering, mainly cats and dogs, and volunteering at my local animal shelter. As a result, I have a lot of experience caring for senior pets who may have medical needs or temperamental issues and younger pets who may need a bit of extra training or encouragement. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I'm no stranger to caring for them. The best part is that I love doing it! I'm currently enrolled in school 9-5PM Monday through Friday, but I'm free to immediately head anywhere I'm needed and willing to spend the night if necessary. On weekends I'm completely free and would be more than happy to stay overnight! My home is overlooked by three older cats and one who turned a year old in July. The youngest is always looking to find a new companion, but the others keep to themselves. We previously had a doberman, so we have a large backyard with no toxic plants and a stainless steel wire leash that allows exploration of the entire yard. Pets will be supervised at all times, and I'd be more than willing to make any accommodations to make sure you feel safe leaving your furry companion with me.


About: Have been a long-time dog mom of a pitbull for many years. I have lots of experience with high energy and strong dogs who love walkies. Experience with elderly and I'll pets as well. I have flexible hours at my part time job, so Im able to fit in walks and visits. I'm mostly available mornings, any day of the week. I will respect your home during check-ins, make sure your pet is fed and watered and well exercised as per requests. May also eventually include pet care at my own home, with fenced in yard.

“Chanse took excellent care of our two cats during drop-in visits and sent us pictures and updates of how the visits went each time. I would definitely recommend her, and will be booking her again.”


About: I’ve had cats most my life. I had my first pup at 19. My last pup was 16 years old. My current pup is a 5 year old female black Labrador. She has had 3 surgeries before this age but very energetic! Her favorite toy is her B A L L. I also have a cat who is 8 years old. I work full time Monday through Friday until 3:30PM. If dropping off on a Friday, drop off would need to be 4:00PM or later. I may be available some holidays. I try to keep my schedule up-to-date. Questions let me know! I have a large fenced in yard. In the summer I have a foldable dog pool my dog loves to splash in! Dogs are allowed on couch and bed. There is a cat in the home. When it’s nice out a lot of time would be spent outdoors but also indoors depending on the heat/cold. I have doggy proofed the house from my own. There are also lots of toys! I live in a nice neighborhood and can certainly take your pup for a W A L K if needed.

“Grace was very dependable! Always arrived right on time and spent time playing with and petting my 2 cats. They both loved Grace. Grace followed my instructions well in feeding and cleaning the litter boxes. Thank you Grace!! I would recommend!!!!”


“Needed a couple drop-ins on short notice so I contacted Hailey and she got back to me right away. We set up a meet and great for that evening and she was right on time. All 3 dogs just loved her at first sight! After they got their attention we went over all the details of food, water, etc. She was on time to appointments and sent pics during visit. Hailey has great communication and I will definitely use her again.”


About: I've loved animals my whole life, from raising dogs as a child to caring for my cat. I've also worked on horse farms and volunteered at the Humane Society, giving me experience with pets of all kinds. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether it's playing, walking, or simply giving them attention and care. I would love to provide your furry friends with a safe and loving experience while you're away. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, with my only daily commitment being school pick-up. Outside of that, I'm available to provide consistent and loving care for your pets. I love animals of all kinds and would love the opportunity to make your pets feel safe and comfortable while you are away or getting them their much needed excersize.

About: (I go by Sera, pronounced like Sarah) - I've had cats all my life (& friends with dogs) - Animals love me and I'm good with kids too -I promise to treat your pets with the best care I'm currently employed and I do have my own vehicle. I can work part time or full time, days and nights. I can care for exotic pets too. I cannot care for pets in my home as I have three cats who haven't had other pets around and don't really like other animals.

About: I’ve taken care my own, as well as other dogs my whole life as well as being a foster through Diamond Dogs, giving me experience with a variety of breeds! I have experience feeding, administering medication and so much more! I’m currently a full time teacher so my schedule is very open in the summers! During the school year I am at my school from 7:00-4:00 but am still very willing and open to working with you for pet care! I have a lot of open time for house visits, house sitting, and walks. Pet care is largely based on what clients prefer. I love going on walks, going to the dog park, and doing whatever I can to help your pup get rid of some energy! If you have an older or a low energy dog I am still down to chill with them and give them some much needed company while you’re away!

“Danielle was awesome ! Our cats were well taken care of. It was like we never left. We would definitely have her again. It is always a great feeling when you know your animals are taken care of. We enjoyed the pictures and correspondence while we were away. Thank you , Tammy Aldrich”


About: I have had the joy of being surrounded by pets my entire life. I have been caring for my own pets (family pets included) and also my friends pets. I have pet sit for my parents cats and I have also pet sit for my friends goats and chickens on many different occasions. I have also had the pleasure of taking my friends dogs on multiple walks.

I am available Monday through Friday from 6am - 10pm. Please make appointments at least a day in advance and cancel three days before scheduled appointment, if need be. I provide the best care for every and any animal I come across. For my own cats specifically, I make sure that they have access to fresh water and dry food daily. I also feed them wet food with the cleanest ingredients, 3 times a day. I also make sure to scoop their litter box multiple times a day and change it out every other day. I will transfer this personal experience of mine to your pets by providing them with the best care while also respecting my clients rules and wishes.

Brandy D.
“I have been in rescue for 15 years Brandy has gone with me to assist with rescued dogs. She has always been extremely kind, compassionate and caring with any dog I have had in rescue and she has been in contact with. She is very familiar with timid,shy,scared dogs as most of these dogs are from puppy mills. She is very aware of what a high flight risk dog is and is experienced in taking all safety precautions necessary to ensure the dogs are always under her control while maintaining a calm environment for them. I don't trust very many people with my dogs but I would absolutely trust Brandy! Brandy has always shown my dogs the love and care as she would her very own. She has always had dogs of her own and currently is an amazing pet parent. I highly recommend Brandy as a caregiver/walking partner for any dog.”
