“Stephanie was nothing short of amazing! She took great care of my babies while on vacation, and even took care of our ferret (who was unable to be listed on Rover). She took it on herself to let me know everything going on, and I never was worried about my kids. Genuinely, thank you for treating my fur babies like your own!”



“Mary Kay is great! They were willing to look after my babies short notice and they gave me detailed updates on how my animals are doing every visit! 10/10 would recommend!”


“Chelsea was amazing! Our kitty loved her. She is attentive and knowledgeable and takes the best pictures! We never worried about our Kevin once with her looking after him ❤️”


“Shylah did a great job with our 3 cats! They were happy and healthy, and she gave one of them his medicine successfully. We will definitely hire her next time we are out of town”

“Michelle is always punctual. She takes care of Charlie's needs, and is always willing to go the extra mile with me as well. Charlie and I really enjoy our drop-in visits!”


About: Hi, I grew up in a home that had dogs and have also worked with rescues over the years. I am able to help potty train, teach tricks, work on leash and friendly play for puppies. I have toys treats and a fenced yard. If you need a safe place to keep your pup during work or over vacation we might be the right fit for you. We have a small pomsky and a old chihuahua/yorkie mix who are the friendliest dogs in the entire world and great with other dogs. If your dog needs to be the only dog our home might not be ideal. I want us both to have the best experience possible. Meet and greets are amazing and welcome to make sure your fur baby and ours will be a great fit. I am also a wildlife rehabitator at Lost Child Wildlife Rehabilitation on facebook. I am working hard to help the voiceless orphaned wildlife. My life gets a little crazy during wildlife season but that does not stop me from being able to care for your furry family members. Wildlife and animals in general are my passion and always have been. I am also enrolled in Unity College online to further my education and the help I can provide to our wildlife. I am currently a stay at home mom and have all the free time to spend with your fur baby while their family is away. We wake up at 730-8am everyday and have a great routine that any fur baby will fit right into. We could do holidays, weekends overnights and everything in between. I have a fenced in yard, dog friendly dogs and tons of toys for playtime. We have donut bed, blankets, crates if they are needed and enjoy going on walks with the addition of play time in the yard or inside if it's raining. I have toys for multiple chewing needs - super chewers or tiny nibbles. I have lots of free time and just want to help where I can.

“Yvonne was amazing. My cat Ares absolutely loved her. Even when he first met her, he ran up to her and rubbed on her!! Lol She sent me photos daily of them playing together, which I totally loved. She feed him and changed his little box while I away. She even switched up his food because he dislikes eating the same food everyday. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She deserves 100 stars!! I will definitely book her again!!”


“Nicole took wonderful care of our 3 cats, and under the craziest possible circumstances (one senior cat with diabetes needing insulin twice a day, and a juvenile male and female that aren't fixed yet and had to be kept separated). It was half cat sitting and half cat jailer, and through it all Nicole was super friendly and communicative and we came home to 3 happy cats. 10/10, we'll definitely book her again!”


“Sheila was great with my two cats while I was away for a week! Lots of updates & photos, everything was kept super clean & she even dealt with some upset stomach situations. She socialized and played with my most social cat & took time to bond with my skittish who actually came out for pets at one point - which is a rarity. I came home to two happy cats! I would 100% recommend her & will book again in the future!”


“Jill was so great! She was able to check on my pups when I had a last minute cancelation with another sitter (not a rover). She was so kind and even took the time to meet the boys before. During her visit she was very observent and took great care of my boys! Will be booking her again in the future!”


“My dogs love her, including my chihuahua who takes a long time to warm up to new people! Such a huge help having her let my little guys out in the middle of the day. Highly recommended! 👍🏽”


“Kelly was amazing with my two cats and took wonderful care of them while I was gone for over a week! She sent regular photos and updates and I felt so happy seeing my babies so well care for. Both my cats were extremely healthy and happy when I came back. I would highly recommend her and will be using her services again!”


About: I am a big time Animal Lover and have a good sized backyard to let you pet run around and have a good time relaxing. I have plenty of time to watch and take care of your pet, I have no problem walking and watching your pet while you are away. I have a fenced in yard and have a good size backyard to let your pets run around and relax and just to have fun.

“Cheyenne went above and beyond while checking in on my husky! She sent detailed updates and several photos after every visit, and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thanks again, Cheyenne☺️”


About: I have taken care of my own yorkies for 17 years and also had friends ask me to babysit their babies and of course my babies relied on me for fresh water, meals, grooming, nail cutting and much more. Outside-never alone, walks, play and especially brushing and petting on my lap. Lots of love I'm retired and home all day, with exceptions of Doc visits. When I am not home Hope stays at the house with any babies that I have in the home. I will be taking the babies out and be with them the entire time they are outside. I will play with them and have them sit in my lap if they choose to. Or anything else the owner would suggest. The babies are allowed on my furniture and to sleep in bed with me if they choose to.

About: I come from a family of dog lovers, with a dog at home my whole life. Dog parent of two 14 year old dogs, so familiar with elderly dog needs. Recently adopted a puppy and experienced with puppy training. I work a flexible schedule allowing for morning visits during the weekdays for walks or home visits. Weekend availability is limited but willing to work with you with enough notice. I have a large fenced yard with good lighting at night. We have a small cavalier/ Shih Ztu mix who is every friendly and playful. Walking is a daily activity and large area in the basement for day when bad weather doesn’t allows outside playtime.
