“Danielle’s attentiveness, communication and attention to detail make her an ideal cat sitter. She is proactive with her approach and will bring things up after a check-in if any behaviors with our cat appear to be off. It gives us peace of mind being away from our cat when we know Danielle is checking in and keeping her company.”
“This was my second time booking with Khelsi. She was great with my cat just like the first time and was very accommodating of my ever-changing schedule. I truly appreciate Khelsi’s flexibility despite her having a packed schedule”
“It was comforting to have Meghan visit my older cat for a couple days when I was out of town. My cat is diabetic and needs insulin shots 2x per day and during our meet and greet I could tell Meghan was experienced and confident in doing injections. She provided great updates and pics of the visits, I'm happy to have found her on Rover for any future drop in needs!”
About: Hello Pet Parents! My name is Nia, and I’ve been a dog owner my entire life. Caring for pets has always been second nature to me, and I truly see dogs as family. I bring that same love, attention, and care to every pup I meet. I’m dependable, trustworthy, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or plenty of cuddles, I’ll treat your furry friend with the same attention and affection I give my own. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and ability levels, and I always aim to provide personalized care tailored to each pup’s unique needs. Please feel free to share all the details about your dog so I can provide the best experience possible. I currently have one fur baby, Ice, a two-year-old American Eskimo. She’s a sweet companion who loves having furry friends around—she’ll happily match their energy, whether that means being playful and active or calm and relaxed. Comfort & Care: Every dog in our care receives wonderful, personalized attention. We provide extra beds, bowls, feeding mats, blankets, and treats to make them feel right at home. Our large, fully fenced yard provides plenty of space for running, playing, and exploring safely. Pups also have full access to roam our home as they would their own, and we can provide separate feeding and sleeping areas to ensure each dog has their own safe, comfortable space. In addition to playtime and exercise, we love providing mental stimulation with toys, training reinforcement, and interactive activities to keep tails wagging. Requirements & Policies: Proof of Vaccinations: All pets must be up to date and vaccinated by a licensed vet before moving forward with the booking process. Required vaccinations include: *Rabies *DHPP/DHLPP combo (includes Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvo, Leptospirosis, and Parainfluenza) *Bordetella (Kennel Cough) *During summer months, pets must also be on a flea/tick preventative. Boarding Capacity: I am a low-capacity boarder, caring for no more than 4–5 dogs at a time. This ensures each pup receives individualized attention while maintaining a calm, stress-free environment. For the safety and happiness of all guests, it’s important that your dog is friendly and comfortable around other dogs. Meet & Greet: A meet and greet is required for all bookings. This allows me to get to know your pup, observe how they interact with my dog, and ensure I’m the right fit for their needs. All meet and greets take place at my home at no extra cost. Once your time is confirmed, I’ll provide the address on the day of the meeting. Behavioral Restrictions: I am unable to accommodate dogs with the following: *Excessive marking, barking, or whining *Severe separation anxiety *Females in heat *Escape artists *Destructive or aggressive behaviors (including resource guarding) *Dogs who are not house-trained *Dogs with aggression toward people, children, or other animals *Dogs with contagious illnesses, fleas, or parasites *Dogs who are extremely reactive to other dogs or strangers *Dogs who require extensive medical care or frequent medication administration beyond standard oral or topical treatments *Dogs with biting history or unpredictable behavior Please note: My puppy rate will be applied to any adult dog that exhibits any of the behaviors listed above if they were not disclosed prior to the start of boarding. Property Damage: Compensation will be requested from the pet owner for any destruction of the sitter’s property caused by the dog. Food & Supplies: Please bring enough food to last the entirety of your dog’s stay, considering possible flight delays, cancellations, or emergencies. Please provide detailed food instructions in case I need to purchase more. Pet parents are responsible for any additional food costs if needed. Booking Notice: I am unable to accept last-minute or same-day bookings, as all dogs require a meet and greet prior to their stay to ensure they are comfortable and a good fit. Pick-Ups & Drop-Offs: Pick-ups and drop-offs are typically between 7 AM and 10 PM. Any pickups after 10 PM will be scheduled for the following day. If you need a different time, just let me know—I’m happy to accommodate on a case-by-case basis whenever possible. Family Support: My husband also assists with the care of all dogs in our home. He treats every pup with the same compassion, love, and plenty of cuddles that I provide. He is usually present for meet and greets, so you’ll have the opportunity to meet him and see the care your dog will receive firsthand. Communication: I love keeping pet parents updated! I can provide photos, videos, and messages during your dog’s stay so you can see how much fun they’re having. I am excited to meet you and your pup! Please feel free to message me with any questions or special requests. We can’t wait to welcome your furry family member into our home! I am currently working a full-time hybrid job. Some days I am fully at home, while others I am out in the field, but I am rarely away for more than 4–5 hours at a time. I always make time to return home to care for my own pet, and your dog will be included in that same attentive routine. I do have cameras set up throughout the home, so I can check in on and even talk to your dog throughout the day, providing reassurance and keeping an eye on their well-being. Please note: I am not able to accommodate pets that require constant, intensive care or supervision, as I want to ensure I can provide safe, high-quality attention to every dog in my care. I provide loving, personalized care for every dog in my home. They enjoy cuddles, walks, playtime in our large fenced yard, and full access to explore safely. I care for no more than 4–5 dogs at a time, and I use cameras to check in and interact with them throughout the day.
“My kitties appreciate Chetoya’s visits. They’re super shy but will come peek out and eat when they see her❤️❤️ She is responsible and always responds quickly. Thank you!”
About: About me—I absolutely love all dogs. There’s nothing like coming home to kisses and a wagging tail! I have had Dalmatians for the past 20 years. I lost my Miss Dottie about a month ago. She was 14. I’m not ready for another forever furbaby, but I miss couch cuddling and walks around the neighborhood. I promise your furbaby will be spoiled! I am looking primarily for long weekends, Friday-Monday. I can maximize time at home with this schedule. I am open to extended stays (military, longer vacations, etc). Last minute requests are ok—life happens! I am comfortable with crating during the day or leaving your furbaby open to roam the family room and kitchen. Back yard play and a walk everyday. Kisses, cuddles, and of course a treat or two. I only accept dogs in my home that have been spayed/neutered. Please contact me before booking. I would like to talk/meet before confirming. Daily rate is for a 24-hour period. Additional fee for time outside of the 24-the period. Drop-off/pick-up available with additional fee.
“Heather was so wonderful during our weekend away. We received daily updates and pictures/videos of our kitty. Our cat is a rescue and is usually very shy around strangers, but she felt very comfortable and social around Heather. Heather truly is a cat whisperer! I would definitely recommend her for you pet-sitting needs!”
“Lauren was great with my 2 recently rescued German Shepherds. They are a handful but she is very knowledgeable about dogs. They loved her. She sent pictures during her visits that gave me comfort that my dogs were well taken care of. Highly recommend her.”
“Very reliable and professional. We will definitely ask for Nicoletta’s help again! My dogs loved her the second she walked in the door. They’re a little wild but she was great with them.”
“This was my first time using a pet sitter and I will definitely be calling Cheryl the next time I need someone to watch my cats. We hit it off and, maybe more importantly, one of my cats took to her right away, the other was less trusting but her behavior improved by the end of Cheryl’s visits.”
“Amazing she takes excellent care of our dogs and is very flexible with my schedule as I’ll have last minute bookings and cancellations. Can’t speak highly enough about her”
“Kylie exceeded my expectations during a drop in visit with my 15 week old puppy. She is also very accommodating and great with communication. I’ll definitely request her for future visits!”
About: I have over 2 years of hands-on pet care experience and have cared for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like my own. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and basic grooming. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent and attentive pet care. I’m available for drop-ins, feeding, litter maintenance, and quality time, ensuring your pets routine is followed closely. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a quiet, clean environment, carefully follow instructions, and keep routines consistent. I’m attentive to behavior changes and make sure your pet feels secure and relaxed.
“Melanie was great. She let me know when she was stopping by, spent time with my animals and shared pictures. My cats don’t usually come right up to strangers and they clearly felt comfortable with Melanie.”

Heather has watched our two cats twice now. The first time was last year for week/end, and she just watched them again this weekend. We’ve already booked her for a longer trip this spring, which probably says everything on its own. The first time we booked her, we were in a pinch and relied on her glowing reviews. I’m so glad we did because they were very accurate - she is kind, intuitive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in the well-being of the animals she cares for. She asks thorough questions to make sure she understands every aspect of care and double-checks feeding routines, medical details, and emergency contacts. It’s clear she takes the responsibility seriously and wants to do things the right way. Her communication is always prompt and reassuring. She sends plenty of photos and updates, which gives us so much peace of mind. Our cats are generally friendly, but they truly seem to like her and feel comfortable around her, which says a lot. Even on short trips, she is attentive about refilling food and water and making sure everything is in order. She’s local, reliable, and charges a fair price for the level of care she provides. Most importantly, I trust her. I know she genuinely cares about our cats when she’s with them, and that makes all the difference. I would confidently recommend her to anyone in the area looking for compassionate, dependable pet care.
This was my first time using a pet sitter and I will definitely be calling Cheryl the next time I need someone to watch my cats. We hit it off and, maybe more importantly, one of my cats took to her right away, the other was less trusting but her behavior improved by the end of Cheryl’s visits.
Jenna provided exceptional service taking care of my cats while I was out of town. I really appreciated the pictures from each of her visits and was impressed with the overall cleanliness - one of my cats is a messy eater! - when I returned. I am so grateful to have met Jenna and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.
I have some odd ducks at home with some "quirky" personality traits, but Nicoletta takes them with grace. She's been a dream to work with and I always feel my babes are well cared for with her. I will definitely opt into having her come by to care for our guys whenever we're out of town. 🥰
Our dogs love Dana! We knew our dogs were in great hands while we were out. Dana was right on time and sent us updates and pictures. We were a little nervous leaving because our one pup doesn’t like thunder and storms were in the area, but Dana was great and made sure Cento wasn’t scared. 😊
It was our first time having Megan watch our cat and we were very happy with the experience! She was very personable and great to work with. Her check in reports were very detailed and left us at ease knowing our cat was in good hands while we were out of town. We would not hesitate to have Megan cat sit for us again!
We booked a week-long request with Sydney, with morning/evening visits. We were nervous to be away from our cat for so many days, but Sydney provided many updates and pictures during their time together that we knew he was spending quality time with a kind friend. I’m sure our cat is excited to see Sydney again for the next time she visits, she is very caring and in tune with his needs!
