Thank you to Jaclyn for taking the last minute booking. We really appreciate her and the great care that she took of our Bunny & Howie and our home. Jaclyn sent us updates and photos which we love to see while we are away. We will absolutely book Jaclyn again. :)

Courtney is a dog whisperer - she was able to calm our rather rambunctious golden puppy and give loving care to our 6 year old chocolate lab. Super star!

Stormy did amazing with Comet! This was my first time using Rover, and she did a nice job explaining how it all worked during our meet & greet. Then, each check-in had a thorough report card and plenty of pictures; by the second day, I was confident that Comet was in very good hands.

About: Hi! I’m Camille, and if there’s a dog at a party, that’s probably who I’m talking to. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal is different. Some pets want nonstop playtime, some want cuddles, and some prefer their space. I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable and happy. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop in visit, or company while you’re away, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. Expect lots of updates, photos, and communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: a happy pet, a stress free owner, and plenty of tail wags along the way. 🐾💕 Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. As a server, I’m used to being active, managing my time efficiently, and staying attentive to the needs of others in a fast-paced environment. My work schedule gives me flexibility during certain parts of the day, allowing me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so pet care is a natural fit for me. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household rules to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owner is away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe in my care. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

Amanda was so incredible checking in on our girl. She gave great info every time she went over and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. She even helped try and reset our WiFi when it went down for us. She is super nice and we’ve already rebooked her to watch our girl on an upcoming trip!

Couldn’t be happier with Shelby. She was gentle with my cats and is a genuinely caring pet sitter. Even though my big guy refused to engage (our girl cat liked her) photos assured me my fur babies were well taken care of. She communicated well and accommodated a last minute holiday request. 10/10 would use her again!🐾🐾🐾🐾

About: I’m reliable, communicative, and I pay attention to the little things. Their routines, quirks, energy levels, and what makes them feel secure. I also genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals, not just “checking in” on them. My goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I do have a 9-5 job that I work on Monday - Friday. I am available anytime after 5 pm and on weekends I’m free anytime. I provide attentive, reliable care in your pet’s familiar environment to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I follow routines closely, prioritize safety, respect your home, and pay attention to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I also provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind and trust.

About: While I’ve never had a dog, I currently have cats and bunnies, so I’m familiar with a good variety of animal care! I love dogs so much, and I’d be so excited to walk and care for your baby! I’m currently a student, but since my school is online, I have a pretty flexible schedule, allowing me to work weekends and weekdays! I can work from 3pm on on every weekday, with unlimited availability on the weekends. In terms of my client’s home, I will care for them with the materials given. I’m familiar with taking care of a variety of different animals, so I’m sure I will provide your pet with a comfortable, caring environment.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes since I can remember. Dog poop, hairballs, slobber…not grossed out, will clean it all. We recently lost our 17-year-old chihuahua, so I have experience caring for a senior pet as well. I’m a freelance creative, working from home with a very flexible schedule. I can easily shift my day around to meet your pet care needs! I am a sucker for instructions and will follow them to a T. Your pet(s) will get my undivided attention, love, and care. And, with your permission, I love to take photos of your pets and share them with you to add a little bright spot to your day.

Christina is so sweet. I made the best decision ever when I booked her to drop in and feed my crew on the afternoon of my surgery. It was a huge weight off my mind knowing I didn't have to worry about my kitties being cared for while I was still on an anesthesia stupor! Looking forward to booking her again!

Julia is an outstanding cat sitter. I was traveling overseas for 10 days and felt completely comfortable with the care and attention she provided to my cat. Prior to my travel, Julie proactively scheduled a meet & greet, since it had been some time since her last cat sitting session with my cat. She engaged with my cat in a way that kept her from not feelin abandoned during my vacation. Upon my return, the litter box was clean and my cat's feeding and water area was spotless. I would unconditionally recommend Julia C. as reliable, trusted cat sitter.

My weird cats and I adore Allie. I volunteered at a couple of shelters / rescues and truly have some quirky cats, but Allie acted like they were as normal as they come. She was not fazed by their individual eating preferences, oral meds, and sometimes cranky attitudes. Allie also sent daily updates with photos and I have not felt this at ease traveling in a very long time. I'm sure Allie is excellent with dogs, but if you are looking for someone who is amazing with cats, this is your sitter!
