“Dustin is the best! He is so friendly, kind of like family so you feel comfortable leaving your family pet and can relax on vacation. He watched our cat for us and even sent pictures daily. Will definitely use him for our next get away.”
“Shera was wonderful with our two cats. At the meet and greet, she asked so many questions and took notes, paying attention to every detail. When she visited them, she immediately sent us a detailed description of their behavior and lots of photos and videos. They seemed so relaxed with her, even our boy who can be nervous around strangers. She seems to really "get" cats and we feel so comfortable with her watching them!”
“Natalie was awesome! I had to do something last minute and needed the dogs watched and she was on it. Very accommodating & communicated well! :)”
“Martha did an excellent job caring for our two cats. This was the longest we had been away but the photos and daily updates definitely put our minds at ease. Our cats clearly felt comfortable with Martha and she even got our shy cat Jefferson to come out of hiding!”
“Andee was great with our dog! Super friendly and very attentive; the pictures we received during the dog sit made us smile so much. Highly recommend, and will use her again if we ever go back out of town.”
About: Petsitting requires more than responsibility, and transportation, and I make sure to include play time, snuggle & cuddles, and adjusting to your pet's needs & personality. I love animals, even guinea pigs & birds, and have a passion for petsitting that I would like to pursue as a career since I currently don't have children or limitations. I treat pets with PLC(play, love, & care). Feeding, water, & walks are bare minimum for pet care. Pets want attention & care as if their owner wasn't gone or away. The least I can do is make your pet feel loved & safe.
“Bethany is wonderful! She sent awesome updates and photos and my dog loved her from the start. I have a senior dog and she is able to tailor her visit to meet his needs. I would highly recommend her and have already booked her for two more trips!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, so pet care is second nature! I've been walking, feeding, and loving on furry friends since for the last 15 years. I'm also great at giving meds (even the sneaky ones!) and making pets feel comfy and cared for. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Your pets will be in caring, capable hands. Working remotely gives me a flexible schedule, so I can easily visit pets during lunch breaks or before and after work to give them care and attention. I always prioritize each pet’s safety by following all care instructions closely, from feeding routines to medication and walk guidelines. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also keep emergency contacts and vet info handy, so I’m fully prepared. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority!
“Hans was outstanding! He was always on time and kept me updated while I was traveling. We’ll definitely schedule him next time! Thank you, Hans!”
“Georgia is great! Georgia was very communicative and so detailed in the updates. I appreciated how Georgia really tried to get to know my cat and give me the most descriptive updates. I arrived with my cat’s food and water bowls full and a clean litter box. Thanks again Georgia!”
“Erin was amazing! Even when my cat was showing signs of being anxious because I was gone, she was very accommodating and made sure my cat was well taken care of! Will definitely reach out to her again in the future.”
“I met Reece and went over things for taking care of our bird, rabbit, rat and two dogs. He fed and gave them there water, plus Medication. He also gave the rat new bedding everyday and cleaned the room our rat, rabbit and bird share. Our dogs are a 20 year old Rat Terrier and 13 year old Chihuahua. We were kept updated with pictures and daily report. We had no complaints!”
“Thanks for caring for our fur babies! They had a great time and look forward to seeing you again! 🩷🐾”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a child and have taken care of my kitty, Monster for the past decade. She is a spunky old soul and receives all the love. I’ve sat for family and friends and just love meeting all the different animals. I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, rats, fish and just have a passion for caring for them. I’m currently working part time so have tons of flexibility for boarding, walks, check-ins, anything you need! I can most likely accept day of as well! I have a fenced yard at home, so plenty of bathroom access as well as play space. I have dog toys as well as cat toys/treats. Animals are welcome on my furniture and pretty much anywhere they’d like to explore in my home! Regarding a clients space, however they care best for them is how I will!
“We loved Libbey!! I am a helicopter mom when it comes to our cat, Macaroni, and Libbey made us feel so comfortable leaving him in her hands. She is so communicative and treated Macaroni like he was her own. She gave him so much love while we were away and always left detailed notes about her visit. 100% would book with her again!”
“Carolyn went above and beyond to make sure our pups were comfy while we were away. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Bari was excellent! Very communicative and easy to work with. Prompt responses. She sent many pictures of our kitten and gave him lots of play time! Highly recommend her!!”

“This was our first experience with Rover and Melinda did an amazing job! My dog Charlie is reactive and nervous around new people but warmed up to Melinda quickly during our meet and greet.

She has watched my dog (and bunny) with so much care, love, and attention and I’ve seen her do the same for countless friends, often letting their dogs out or helping with pet care while they’re at work, all out of the kindness of her heart. She’s someone who genuinely loves animals and treats every dog like her own. It brings her joy to be around them, and it shows in how comfortable and happy the dogs are in her care.
