1. Stephanie M.

“Stephanie stepped in at very short notice to help out in a difficult situation. The dogs were very happy to see her again and had a great time.”


2. Melissa H.
“My dog LOVES Melissa! As soon as he sees her, his tail is 100% action! Melissa has a love for animals that extends to all species and breeds. Whether you have a grumpy old cat or an energetic pup, Melissa will give your pet the best love and care!”


3. Amanda K.
“Amanda has been a pillar in my life, and in the life of my two tweens. I had an out-of-town weekend and Amanda stayed with my children, got them to school, fed them dinner, etc. But the best part was how she handled their tweenie attitudes. She was firm, honest, and gave them straightforward consequences for their actions and behavior: She actually empowered them to be better people. Oh, ops. Was this supposed to be a testimonial for pet sitting? She did that, too. Walked the dogs, fed the cats, honored the house rules about furniture, and I got super cute photos of them all in action. She took care of the pets for both day-at-a-time and when we were away for a few days at a time. She's great for both the pets and the pets!”

“Kay will always place the well-being of a pet foremost. With a long experience caring for pets, since she was a young girl and diverse pets, dogs, cats, birds, and even snakes she can be relied upon to do a great job.”


5. Chelsea & Alicia M.
“Chelsea has gone above and beyond in caring for my fur babies long before Rover was ever an option. I can trust Chelsea to stay at my home regardless if it’s for a couple days or a week and know that when I come home, my animals were all loved and cared for. Chelsea snuggles and cuddles with them, sends pics playing with them, and also gives me daily updates and has no issues responding any time I reach out to just check up on things. I would absolutely refer anyone that I know or even don’t to Chelsea to care for their animals. You will not be disappointed!”

9. Mary S.
“Mary is ALWAYS my go-to dog sitter. Leaving our dogs with her gives me peace of mind knowing they will be loved and cared for as if they were her own! We actually joke that if our dogs had a choice they would pick her over us. She is the best, no question! (:”

“Kara was great with my dog Bella. Always sending pictures and keeping me updated!”

14. Shirley R.
About: I’ve taken care of several breeds of dogs and cats since I was 15. Whether it be family pets, neighbors or friends I’ve always treated any animal in my care with the same love, attention & affection I give to my own. I have an open schedule so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your fur baby. I’m available Mon-Fri from 6am to 5pm and Sat & Sun 12pm to 6pm In your home I’ll be sure to follow the guidelines and rules you determined for your baby and home. Walks on leash always and attentive eye when playing to be sure your baby doesn’t get hurt or get into something they shouldn't. I can also handle feeding and am comfortable giving meds if needed.


15. Abbey P.
About: I’ve had numerous animals in my household my entire life from cats, to dogs, to hermit crabs; I’ve done it all! I’ve also worked in animal shelters and have helped establish a loving and safe environment for all animals! I am currently a student at Augustana College but have a flexible schedule so I can give your animal all the attention that they deserve. Back home I have one Yorkie who is the sweetest old lady ever! She is not with me at school but growing up around animals I have learned how to give them the proper love, attention, and time that they deserve. My apartment has a bark park where I can take your dog to play and run around to get all of their energy out. I also love to go on walks during the summer so I am always more than willing to take them on a nice long walk or hike.


16. Allison C.
About: I have cared for dogs of my own, as well as others, for 16+ years. I have cat sat 8+ cats in the last 3-4 years. I have fed animals, given medication, taken walks, and spent time giving them the attention they’re missing while their owners are gone. I have loved animals all my life and like to consider myself an animal whisperer 😉 I am a teacher, so I am unavailable from ~7:30am-3:15pm August through May. My weekends are very flexible, and I’m very flexible in the summer months. As a pet sitter, trust and reliability are very important to me. I am a type A person who plans my schedule around animals I’m caring for. I am willing to walk, clean litter boxes/pick up BMs, give medication, vacuum/sweep around litter boxes, and give your animal(s) the love and care their missing when you aren’t there. I have been an animal lover all my life and like to consider myself an animal whisperer 😉

Im usually off at 5 pm on weekdays but currently on leave for a short while so my schedule is pretty open for about a month. I will not be able to sit in my own home due to my animals not being aclimated towards other fur babies but I am happy to come and sit

“Taylor has my girl 2-3x a week. My girl is special needs and Taylor does so well with her she sends me updates all the time so I never have to worry I was very hesitant about using this app just with the crazy’s in the world. Taylor is like my girls second mom she loves her and going over there she has a nice yard for my girl to run in. Taylor will be my go to sitter”

I trust him and I highly recommend!”
