“Betty is awesome! She is everything her write up says she is and more 😊 She is wonderful about responding and once you meet her you just know your family fur members are in kind & capable hands! If you are looking for that special person to care for your babies while your away so you can have peace of mind, I highly recommend Betty! 🐾 ❤️”


“Savannah is amazing! She house sat for my three dogs for 10 days and kept them engaged, medicated, and was so attentive. One of my dogs is a 2-year-old, high-energy Border Collie that needs lots of exercise, and Savannah played with her the entire stay. She also house-sat overnight and was on time, provided lots of pics and updates, and was highly reliable. I felt at ease knowing Savannah was watching the dogs.”


“Georgia was the absolute best. She kept me updated and sent adorable pics of my fur babies. My shy, people hating babies warmed right up to her. She probably treated them better than I do? I will definitely use Georgia again.”


“Kristin was awesome. She kept me up to date on the fur family and sent pictures and videos while we were gone. I will definitely use her again. All of the animals seemed to love her.”


“Izzi was amazing with Rajah. Rajah enjoyed her company and you could tell that she really liked Izzi. We will be using Izzi again for her services. I know Rajah can't wait to see her again! ^_^”


“Haelie was great. She watched our two older dogs for a few days while we were away at a wedding. She came before hand to do an intro to the dogs and the house free of charge. She asked great questions and was very easy going. I was worried a bit because our dogs, while not aggressive or fearful, are not the most socialized either. They didn’t have any issues with her, she took them on walks and followed our instructions, sending cute pictures to let us know they were doing ok. She left the house probably even cleaner than it was when she arrived. This was our first rover and overall it was a great experience, would be happy to use her services in the future ans highly recommend.”


“Kendal was very reliable and took care of my baby on such short notice! Great service and very professional. This is my first time using a sitter, and so I was nervous and anxious but Kendal made the experience easy, and took care of my pup very well! Will definitely book again with her!”


“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Mitchie to take care of my furry family while I was out of town, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the level of attention and care that she provided. From the moment I met her, I could tell that she was a true animal lover. She was friendly and warm towards my pets, and took the time to get to know each of their individual personalities and needs. She was also very thorough in asking me about any special instructions or preferences that I had for their care, which put me at ease knowing that they were in good hands. Overall, I would highly recommend Mitchie to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry friends. She was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about the well-being of my animals. I will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”


“Fiona was everything we could have asked for in a dog sitter! She cared for our pups and sent lots of pictures and updates. I felt so secure with her watching them and knew they were in the best hands!”


“Makayla took such great care of my two dogs, one being a clingy golden retriever, and one rescue with aversion to new people. She was patient and calm greeting him, and by the end of the visit he was laying next to her! Trustworthy, kind, and very knowledgeable on all animal care!”


“I cannot praise Blanca and Mark's care of our babies and home enough to do them justice! They pampered our two rescue and reactive dogs with daily brushings and massaging, twice-daily walks and a lot of cuddling, training and rewarding in addition to feeding and medicating them on schedule. We received daily updates with videos and reports of each day's accomplishments. Our plants were monitored and new plants propagated. We even received gifts from their garden as well as (my favorite) a cutting of Pothos artfully displayed in one of our vases! Our refreshed home and relaxed fur babies made our homecoming not only painless - but very welcoming. They left our house, linens and appliances in pristine condition (not as we had left it) and even relieved some of the visible clutter! Blanca's eye for form and display were apparent throughout the house. Blanca and Mark's care this past week greatly exceeded our expectations and I will definitely be asking for their help in the future. I would give them more stars if possible.”


About: I have owned dogs and cats my whole life as well as multiple types of reptiles, fish, chickens and rabbits. I graduated with an associates degree in Aquarium Science Technology where I took operant conditioning classes (animal training) as well as completed multiple internships working with animals of all kinds. My passion is taking care of animals of all kinds and I love to fufill the needs of any furry friend that needs me. As an owner of both dogs and cats, I never get tired of giving them the care they need and learning about their individual personalities. Respect is key. That means for the animal as well as the people trusting me with their fur babies. Pets will always get my full attention while with them whether its play time or bed time, fresh food and water as well as plenty of outside time is my top priority.

About: Growing up our family always had dogs and one day I’ll have one of my own. We typically always had 2 around and have experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and ages. So if you had a rambunctious husky or a dog that might be a little more fragile & need some extra care I’ll be your guy. I’m currently working a full time sales job however there is lots of down time throughout the day to help with your pets needs. Wednesday’s and Sundays are my days off from my full time gig and usually open any morning before 10am and evenings after 5pm. My apartment does allow dogs if you need boarding for a weekend. I take pride in my work and live by the motto “leave it better than you left it”. If your pets are in my home I have a spacious 2 bedroom apartment so pets will have plenty room for play and have a large field just down the street.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals and always been a lover of all things that don’t speak lol. I’ve worked at a boarding and grooming place and been in charge of medication and special allergies for those in need. I can usually work around with anyone that is within certain distances between my area and where I’m willing to travel without putting too much on my vehicle. I do not offer in home staying due to having three dogs and no other area for any animals to stay with me. I do offer full care in owners homes, pop ins or daily care for the out of town trips. I can go for walks and make sure they get proper exercise and play time.

“Rajah loves Cynthia! She remained very calm and stressed free around Cynthia and enjoyed her company. Very first meeting presented her with toys and layed by her gave us peace of mind during our trip that she was well cared for.”


About: I have 10 years of experience taking care of dogs. I have three rescues of my own. I have fostered 2 dogs for three months. I have worked with all type of behaviors when it comes to dogs. I charge an extra $20 for same day or within 24 hours for care/boarding. I work 7am-5pm. I can board and watch your dog any day of the week. I am available during the week after 5pm and all day during the weekends. I have a fenced in back yard with three fur babies of my own, I can easily crate your dog. If your dog doesn’t do well around other dogs that is not issue I can take them out separately.

About: I’ve had experiences with animals since I was a child. From my family’s pets, to strays, to even my own. These include cats, dogs, birds, horses, fish, snakes, and bearded dragons. Though I always enjoy learning how to take care of all sorts of animals that others may be afraid to such as arachnids. What sets me apart is my deep respect for these animals and giving them the space they need and also understanding that they are not “below us” as humans. As well as this, I have almost a years worth of working at a veterinarian clinic as a kennel assistant. The skills I developed here include: - walking - bathing - medicating - trimming claws - maintaining a feeding schedule - maintaining a clean kennel - bonding with pets who were nervous I’m currently in college to earn my Associates Degree in Fine arts and for this semester my classes occur Monday thru Wednesday. I’m also working part time Thursday thru Saturday but I would like to be able to dedicate my time to being around animals instead of being in a job that doesn’t treat me well. In the clients home, I’ll take time to ask them details about their pets schedule and activities, as well as any special needs. Once I’m in the home, depending on the pets social meter, I’ll make sure to not force a friendship between us unless it’s on the pets term. The last thing I want to do is bring any unnecessary stress to your beloved companion.
