“Gretchen was great. She kept up on all the visits with lots of attention to our kitties and plenty of pictures, to show they were being well taken care of. Everyone was content, happy and healthy when we arrived back from our trip. She made sure they had plenty of food, water, scooped the litter, and even gave a specific cat their daily wet food. I would highly recommend and request her again!”


“As usual, Lucia has been amazing during our trip. Cash loves her and looks forward to her visits. Thanks for taking such good care of our boy!”


“Emily was amazing!! I was in a pinch last minute, and she stepped in and saved the day! She left great notes for me and adorable pictures. Would definitely book her again!”


“Have used her multiple times & she is amazing!! She cares deeply for my animals & makes sure to communicate with me when visiting! Highly recommended!!!”


“Elaina was very thoughtful and reliable in her care of our two older female dogs. She was highly communicative leading up to our trip and was willing to do an in-person meet and greet beforehand which made everyone more comfortable. She was consistent in her arrival times and respected our home, keeping it clean and tidy for our arrival. We SO appreciate her care during our time out of town! We highly recommend her services.”



“I was very lucky to have Sarah take care of my dogs the first time I used Rover. She immediately had a great rapport with my pups, both well over 50 lbs and VERY enthusiastic. She sent several updates, photos included, and even walked Lucy and Mabel together. They are so rambunctious that we don't even do that! Also, Sarah was patient with my lack of expertise with the Rover app and even helped me with it. I will feel so much more relaxed now when I leave my pups knowing they are in Sarah's care.”


About: I worked in the grooming department of PetSmart as a bather while getting my nursing prerequisites many many moons ago, and I loved that job. Prior to that I have had my own dogs, helped train my mom's dogs and animal/home sat for countless families beginning around age 10. I just love loving on just about all creatures. ( I am more of an admiring observer of snakes and spiders!) I love being a Nurse as well, but compassion fatigue and burnout are much higher risks in that field. So I swore, if I ever had the chance, to spend more energy and focus on being with animals, I would. My goal is to build more experience in this world and have that experience inform a pet care/boarding brick and mortar business, while meeting new people through their pets. I am skilled at blending fun with a high level of professionalism. I look forward to meeting you and in building a stellar reputation in the pet care space. Currently, I am flexible for daily care anytime and/or to care for your pet anytime you travel or go on vacation, as long as I get enough notice. I recently decided to step away from my administrative role in healthcare in order to ward off burnout and get back to caring for others in a different capacity after some rest and reset time. I love caring for animals large and small and this will give me a chance to re-connect with the things I love, allow me time and practice in getting back to simple pleasures, slower pace, and still meet my nursing heart needs; by having people and pets to pour my caring nature into. Though I do not have a fenced in yard, we do have a great neighborhood to walk in, with sidewalks, paths/trails into wooded areas that then open up to an open field and will take them on walks 4 to 5 times per day. My husband and I are newlyweds and since I am a newly recovering workaholic, we did not have time for a pet. This means now that I have time, I can prioritize your pet. Does your pup like to hike? So do I!. Happy to take him/her on a hike if that's a desire, often times my husband will join me so you'll have two human friends watching over your furry family. I don't typically like to socialize dogs (especially puppies) at dog parks (I like to socialize them with dogs I know until they get older and/or we have had enough time to build a trusting relationship with one another), but if your dog is used to dog parks I am happy to take them to your prefered dog park. I am active so my default is to do things that I can include them, i.e. anything from running to Home Depot to get something to taking them out to eat and enjoying some patio time. I was trained in human care as a nurse but do have experience providing first aid to pets. Because I was a bather and weirdly enjoy it, I am always willing to do more than just clean off visable dirt. I am game for hours of brushing and beautifying your pet. Do you have a dog that hates baths and makes it near impossible; we can work on that. I will treat your home with the care and attention to detail that I would want given to mine. In fact, for an additional fee if you need anything on your property organized, cleaned, gardened, etc.. while I am there and is within reason, I love to keep busy and would be happy to discuss what I can help you cross off your to-do list. Happy to do grocery or supply runs, pick-up laundry, make pet food from scratch, etc... I am here to make life easier and enjoy your animals in the process.

“Thank you Thomas for taking such good care of our girls!”


“I highly recommend Abby after just one week. She communicated well, she went above and beyond willingly, she is dependable and timely, but mostly Abby truly has a heart for dogs and was loving with my two large dogs. We trust and are confident to have Abby sit for future needs.”


About: I grew up with the world’s sweetest flat-coated retriever as an older brother as well as several cats and other critters through the years. On top of this I have sought out outside opportunities to spend more time with animals, including volunteering at an animal shelter and private pet sitting. I have lots of experience handling animals of all temperaments, so I feel confident in my ability to care for any pet that needs a sitter and a pal. I have my own two kitties at home, so pet care is already a full time job for me! I also work a full-time hybrid office job, so 3 days during the work week I’m fully remote and able to care for your pets between meetings and tasks. I’m also fully available in the evenings and weekends to keep them company. I’m a huge fan of note taking and organization, so needless to say I will be thorough in making sure your pet’s routine does not stray from their norm. I always appreciate any guidelines from you, the owner, and even an introduction and home tour before you’re away so everyone is confident and at ease!

About: I have lived with dogs from a young age. I have trained dogs and loved dogs all my life. I frequently watch my friends dogs and I am always available for walk. Dogs seem to love me and the feeling is mutual. I am responsible and I have my own means of transportation. You can trust that your loved one will be taken well care of in my home. I know how important these best friends are I currently work from my apartment with no set schedule. I am very active and I walk my dog Luna about 4 miles a day, broken up into smaller walks. I do not have a fenced yard but I live adjacent to a fenced dog park. I can provide a crate,leashes and dog toys if needed.

“Alexis did a fantastic job caring for my two cats while I was away for work. She was a pleasure to work with, communicated well, helped with a few extra tasks while I was out, and genuinely seemed to enjoy time spent with my pets. She also was very flexible during the week and responsive to messages. I'd have no reservations about rebooking with Alexis! She was a professional! Thanks again!!”


“Lindsey was wonderful! She made sure Otto got his play time and treats and worked with my schedule! She was timely and communicated with me throughout the visits.”



“Reah did a great job! My kitties were content and happy when I got home. No stress!! It's comforting to know there is someone who will care for your fur babies as much as you do. Thank you Reah!!”


About: Hello! My name is Mara and I would love to help with your furbabies while you are away and cant! Loving and compassionate towards any and all animals! I am a dog mom myself and know the struggles of finding a safe and loving place while away! I offer overnight stays, dog walking, and drop ins! I have 2 female dobermans who are gentle giants. One is 4 years old and i also have a 1 year old. She LOVES playing and having friends around! Small or large!! I can assure you that your dog/cat would be more than at home here and treated just as my own. I also have a 14 year old son who loves animals as well and really enjoys helping out with their needs. Looking forward to hearing from you! I work from home, so your pet will never be alone or crated all day! I have a fenced in front and back yard that are separated, they are let out very frequently as we go in and out all the time and they go freely as they want since it's all fenced in! There is nothing around my home that isn't safe for them they are part of the family when they are here! I work from home, so I am always here with them! No different from any other day except four extra paws and a new friend 😍 I have a fenced yard. The front is separated from the back so they can go out together or separately. Besides that they run free in my home, possibly crated at night time so we don't have any uh ohs!

“Sarah did a great job with my cats! Not only did she feed and take care of the litter, but she also was helpful with collecting my packages and mail for me while I was away. She also takes great photos of your pet while she is watching them!”


“Sadie was absolutely amazing with our animals! She was early. And she provided great feedback during her. Stay to let us know how everyone was doing including pictures. The animals felt very comfortable around her. I will definitely be contacting Sadie again!”


About: I’ve been in pet care for nearly 15 years and been a pet mom even longer. I have experience with all breeds, sizes and temperaments of dogs and cats. I also have experience caring for small animals, rodents and some fish and reptiles. Please reach out to see if I am the right person for your pet! I attend school online, and currently not employed, so my schedule is fairly open. I am caring for pets part time to help get through school to begin my new career! I can only provide care for your pets in your home, as I have two senior dogs of my own. I can provide any variety of service or activity for your pets, including transportation of needed.

“Madason was great! She is so kind and truly cares about your pet. She was great with communication and made me feel at ease while I was on vacation knowing my cat was taken care of. Highly recommend!”
