About: I grew up with multiple pets my whole life, with most being medium to large dogs of various breeds. I have 15 solid years of experience with dogs, some cats, and other animals. I am an animal lover at heart, and I am looking for work to give back and care for animals in the community! I am currently in a transition between jobs and am aiming to work remote in the future. I can fit care into a flexible schedule. I aim to communicate effectively with each client before going forward with a service to best meet their needs and the needs of their pet!
“Megan is always fantastic. We absolutely love having her to hang out with Nigel - he adores her! She totally takes the time to work with him and understand all his needs. He’s a stinker so we beyond appreciate it. Thank you so so much!! We will absolutely book Megan for many future hang outs with our boy.”
“Holly Jean was wonderful! She sent me detailed updates about how her drop in visit went. She followed all my instructions perfectly. She was communicative during the booking process and did not hesitate to reach out if she had any further questions. I felt like my cats were well cared for with her!”
“We had Broooke check in on our 3 cats while we were on vacation. This was our first time using Rover and I was pretty anxious about having someone we don’t know do this. Brooke turned out to be very reliable and did a great job with her daily check-ins and pictures. Our cats are pretty incognito with strangers, so she really worked hard to get pictures! 😊 We appreciate all she did and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Brooke again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever sense I was little. I’ve always been around dogs and I have always been counted on to take them on walks and care for them with the upmost respect. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can adjust to meet your needs. You will never have to be doubtful of the safety of your animal if they are in my hands. I currently work full time but have varied hours where I am available in the mornings some days of the week as well as in the afternoon and weekends. I can work with your schedule to when you need me. I will follow all rules and regulations you may have when it comes to what you allow your pets to do in your home. I can use the same demands as you do with your animal so there is always consistency. I am very trustworthy and will leave your home exactly how you left it. I will always respect your space, you, and your animal.
About: I am a compassionate and energetic sitter that is ready to take your pet on the best walk of their life or just give some regular good company. I am comfortable around all dogs and cats, I have a lot of experience caring for and listening to cues of animals. I also have 8 years experience in obedience training for dogs. I currently hold a part time position, so I would have a lot of time on my hands to care for your dog. I have more availability during the week, but weekends are also an option. I am open to either a fixed or random schedule. I will do my best to read your pet's cues, whether it's time to play or if they need some space for a while. I will be gentle and patient with your pet, I understand every animal is different. Safety is a top priority of mine as well, I will always double check that the gate/door isn't open and that the leash is hooked on properly.

First time using River and got so lucky with Melissa. We booked kinda last minute but she was super flexible and came over to meet our cats the next day. She recognized my older cat wasn’t eating much and made sure to put food out to ensure she got nutrition. She was super sweet and I know our kitties got plenty of interaction and play time. It gave us such peace of mind to know Melissa was watching our girls. If we need a sitter in the future, I would definitely reach out to her.
Kaitlin did a fantastic job watching my two cats while I was on vacation! She paid close attention to details, asked great questions, and provided daily updates with photos. My cats warmed up to her quickly, which was great to see. I would definitely have Kaitlin watch them again.
This was our third trip where Kristy cat-sat for us. Kristy does a great job with our shy cat. The pictures she sends with each visit are cute and it looks like he is slowly warming up to her. Everything was clean and neat, just like we keep it when we are home.
