About: I've been around various breeds of dogs for as long as I can remember. During my time volunteering at Paws and Prayers Animal Rescue, I've handled as little as the Chihuahua to as large as the Great Dane! I am currently working part-time, so my schedule is typically pretty open most of the time. I am always open to meet your pups! Big and small! I have handled pups both big and small! Whatever challenge your dog throws at me, I can take it! I am able to crate dogs when necessary.

“Scott and Samantha are our go to sitters for our Italian Greyhound, Quincy! We have used them multiple times, and always come home to a clean house and a very happy dog. Quincy has pretty bad separation anxiety, but Scott and Samantha give him extra attention, care, and snuggles. We highly recommend them to help with any of your pets’ needs!”

About: Hi! My name is Faith, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all types and temperaments. I currently have a high-energy husky of my own, so I fully understand the importance of daily exercise, mental stimulation, and structure—especially for active breeds. I also have experience working with dogs who have resource guarding tendencies and know how to approach them with patience and safety in mind. Growing up, I helped care for my family’s German Shepherd and cats. I’ve also provided ongoing care for elderly pets and cats with a wide range of personalities and needs. I frequently pet sit for friends and family in addition to working full-time as a school psychologist, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—with kindness, consistency, and attention to detail. Whether your pet needs a calm, gentle presence or a playmate who can keep up with their energy, I’m here to meet their unique needs. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and quirks so I can provide individualized care that gives you peace of mind. I currently work as a School Psychologist and I am away from home between the hours of 6:15 AM and 3:45PM on week days (Monday through Friday). I am open to pet sitting outside of those hours, and I have open weekend availability. Please schedule at least one week in advance for pet sitting. I will consider last minute booking requests, but my availability may be more limited. I currently do not offer boarding services because my personal dog battles with resource guarding behaviors and does not do well with other dogs. I am happy to pet sit for you in your home!

About: I love Gods creatures, great and small. I am a lover of unconditional 4 legged of love! I will treat your fur family as if they were my own- unconditionally and with care! I do work a part time job, but officially retired, I love to walk, I look forward to being motivated and sharing the joy of it! I have flexibility and mobility. I can also stay in your pets comfortable environment, to make sure they have comfort and care well with them. I would favor allowing your fur family to remain in their comfortable environment rather than stressing them in my home. I am available to come to serve you and them.

“Nathan did a great job with our labs! He was very responsive, easy to work with, flexible and even handled a misrouted package delivery for us. We were delighted to have his help & really appreciate his availability and fast response.”


About: With 15+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I provide loving, dependable pet sitting tailored to each animal’s personality and needs. From energetic pups to shy kitties, I treat every pet like my own—because they deserve nothing less. I’m a clear and thoughtful communicator. I keep pet parents informed and reassured with regular updates and check-ins. I currently work from home, so I’m very flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Let me know your schedule, and I’ll be there. Looking forward to meeting your pet! Although I don’t offer my in-home services, I am able to drop in on pets at client homes! I can easily follow feeding schedules and routines to make your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away!

About: I have 3 adorable pups! I love them to death and I recently adopted a pit-bull puppy that’s the sweetest girl and a quick learner with her training! I always make sure to properly take care of my dogs, play with them, and spoil them with loads of love and attention. im currently 18 and a senior in high school, I have worked plenty of jobs but I recently resigned to focus on my studies, and taking care of your perfect little pets will be a fitting outlet for me! I have many college bills I need to pay and rover is the perfect way to earn a little bit of money to pay them off. I can do late afternoons, evenings, weekends, and all day during summer! I’ve had pets all my life I have learned to take care of and love them, putting my heart into it, and I honestly just have a natural calling to animals, they love me and I love them!

“Lillian took just the best care of our fur baby and our house. Our pup couldn’t have been in better hands. Lillian was communicative with us and loving to our blind guy.”
