“Katie is reliable and sensitive to our cat’s personality and needs. She also sent terrific photos while we were away, which were both amusing and reassuring to receive during our travels.”
About: Since the age of 8, I have always loved dogs. My first dog was a gift from my parents, a beautiful Beagle who has passed on now. Later on we took in a 5 year old, at the time, mostly blind Yorkie from a friend, and recently adopted an Australian Shepherd in 2025, training him the basics. I also began to volunteer at Home For Good Dog Rescue Shelter in 2025, giving back to even more dogs and making sure they find homes. I am currently still in school and also work a job on the weekends. Monday through Thursday I am available starting after 2:30 PM. Saturday and Sunday I am available whenever in the morning until 1:30 PM, and then back available after 6 PM. I will adhere to all rules given to me by each client. If the dog needs to be in a crate, active, etc. At home I crate my Australian Shepherd and my yorkie keeps her space.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and pets for people since I was in high school. I grew up with dogs and all kinds of different animals. I currently walk some dogs during the week, looking to add some more . I am available for walks and drop ins weekdays from 10:30am-3:00pm I am experienced in giving different medication (pills and insulin). I can easily crate your dog if needed. I also know how to use different walking tools( prong collars, harnesses, gentle leaders)
“Really appreciated Nicole’s close attention to and care of our pets over an extended time away — including dealing with some unanticipated complications and getting to know each pet and providing fun and personalized care for each. Thanks so much!”
About: I have experience caring for small-medium sized dogs for the past 15 years for neighbors, family members, friends, coworkers, and even my professors! I love taking dogs to play and socialize at dog parks and for long walks around the neighborhood so they can get their daily exercise. I work remotely so i have plenty of time to care for your dog throughout the day as my schedule can be flexible. It’s my therapy! I will make sure that your dog has access to water at all times and food when recommended. Your dog will have all their needs met from long walks outside, good play time, proper training if desired, and many many hugs and kisses. For longer care, I also send daily picture updates of your doggy!
“Alyssa was fantastic in watching our two cats. Friendly, attentive and loads of pictures sent during her drop in visit along with a wonderful Rover card write up. Thank you Alyssa for taking such good care of our fur babies!”
“Isaac was great and communicated well! We had a last minute outing to see some family and didn’t want to leave Jolie for 8 hours. Isaac kept her great company and sent lots of pictures so we knew she was happy while we were out!”
About: Hi, I’m Jill! For years, I’ve been a devoted companion to animals of all kinds - cats, dogs, birds, guinea pigs, fish, reptiles, and even an axolotl! As a lifelong pet owner, experienced pet sitter, and dog walker, I understand each pet needs personalized care and attention. Whether it’s a puppy or kitten who needs extra engagement or a senior pet who thrives on gentle company, I tailor my care to each animal’s unique needs. My experience includes post-surgery care, as well as oral and injectable medications - all done with a gentle touch and followed up with lots of love and cuddles. Animals have always been part of my life, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to provide care for your pet. I pride myself on creating a calm, loving environment so your pet feels safe, secure, and happy. As a full-time school employee, I have early morning and after school availability. In addition, my weekends are flexible. Due to occasional after school meetings, my schedule would need to have a window of one to two hours in which to complete visits. I do not offer pet care in my own home, rather I am looking for the opportunity to visit a pet's home and care for them there.
“Thank you so much Alissa!!! She took amazing care of our cats while we were away. She took the time to come meet us before our trip, and left incredibly thoughtful notes and wonderful pictures while we were gone. We felt like we didn’t have to stress at all. We can’t tell you how much we appreciate it!!!”
“V was fantastic. She came over to meet our two dogs before our scheduled visit and both dogs immediately loved her. It’s clear she’s a dog lover! We will absolutely be reaching out again in the future”
“Daniela is a committed pet caregiver who provides care above and beyond her contract. She maintained excellent communications across 12 time zones, sent pictures and videos and was not shy to voice any concerns that her trained eyes saw. She is capable of taking action independently on behalf of her client within the scope of her care while informing and giving us choices. We were completely comfortable leaving our nearly 21-year old cat with many medical issues in her care for over a week.”
“Linda is AMAZING! I was very nervous about leaving our cat alone for the weekend and the care and time she spends with our spunky little guy immediately eased my mind. We appreciate Linda’s care of little Arlo and will continue to ask her to watch him when we are out of town!”
“Natalie was responsive, knowledgable and professional! She made me feel comfortable knowing my dog was under her care. I loved the updates she shared and I came home to a happy pup! Thanks, Natalie!!”

Kendall saved our plans after our usual sitter flaked out at the last minute. She came by the day before to meet the dogs with pretty much no notice. One of our puppies is very high energy and I could tell that he'd been run around enough while we were gone. She was very communicative and kept us updated all day. I'm sure we'll be using her again!
I highly recommend Emily! She was able to check in on Ellie and JimBob on very short notice, which I appreciated so much. Ellie is elderly and can be difficult to care for, but Emily handled everything with patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals. She kept me informed, made sure the dogs were comfortable, and gave Ellie the gentle care she needs. I truly felt at ease knowing they were in her hands. I’ll definitely booking with her again!
We left our precious cat Bootsy in Jill's care for 10 days. Jill took great care of him! We will definitely book Jill again when we need Bootsy to be looked after in the future. Jill was very thoughtful, easy to work with, and went the extra mile while taking care of Bootsy. She communicated frequently, and eased our minds while we couldn't be with our baby boy. She was a great help and you shouldn't hesitate to book Jill to help take care of your fur baby!
