“Shelby was absolutely wonderful! Prior to booking our first visit, she came to meet the pups and discuss all care expectations. On the day of the booking, she gave me a heads up when she’d be stopping over and arrived right on time. While Shelby took the dogs outside to roam and blow off energy, she snapped 4 cute photos to reassure me they were behaving well for her. 10/10 would recommend Shelby for any of your pet care needs!”


“Ann did a wonderful job with our two cats while we were gone for 10 day! She was excellent at communicating, and sent great pictures each time she visited. Our cats were happy and content when we got home- a sure sign that Ann did very well with them!!”


“Pamela was very responsive and friendly! She came over beforehand for a meet and greet. She also sent a nice summary and pictures each day. I would highly recommend her!”


About: With over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats from a young age, I provide attentive, loving, and safe care. I am skilled in managing pets with strong leash-pulling behaviors and handling various situations to ensure they remain calm, controlled, and away from danger such as harmful foods or chasing other animals. My priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of every pet under my care. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I have hands-on experience handling multiple breeds, from small Poodles to large Labradors and Bernedoodles, including dogs with strong pulling strength. As a Golden Retriever owner, I take my dog out multiple times a day for long walks and hikes, ensuring both physical exercise and mental stimulation. This routine has made me skilled at managing dogs of all sizes and energy levels. When caring for pets at my home, I create a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, regular walks, and consistent feeding schedules. I ensure they are comfortable, supervised, and get both exercise and affection throughout the day. At clients’ homes, I follow all provided instructions carefully—maintaining feeding times, walking routines, and any special care requirements. I respect their home and make sure pets feel comfortable in their own space while keeping them safe, engaged, and happy. If needed, I can provide video service to capture all the work I did since I completely understand how we as pet owners like to see what our best pet friend did with a new friend.

“Rose was able to stop by and check in on my dog even at a very last minute request! She did an amazing job taking care of my dog and had good communication with me. Definitely would book her again in the future!”


About: I am a dog lover who work from home, so your pup will always have care and attention. My own sweet dog Nila loves having canine friends over to play or relax with! I pride myself on being highly communicative—expect lots of photo and video updates throughout the day :) Your pup will never be left alone for long stretches and can enjoy frequent potty breaks, walks, and play sessions throughout the day. We usually start the morning with a potty break and outdoor time. Midday includes more walks, visit to dog park, or play with Nila. We wrap up the evening with another outdoor break and wind-down time. Whether your dog is playful or prefers a quiet spot to relax, we’ll adjust the routine to meet their needs. We live in a quiet, dog-friendly residential area surrounded by parks, grassy trails, and trees. We live on the first floor, with quick and easy access to the outdoors, including a dog run.

About: I have both a cat and dog at my home which I take care of. I also have both watched cats and dog sat for families in my area. I’m currently available after 5 pm Mon-Thursday after 3 on Fridays and anytime during the weekend! I have some midday availability sometimes as well, we can chat more about this. I am happy to follow a list you leave behind in order to care for your animal! It’s important for me to know what your animal likes and doesn’t like!

“Azaria is so responsive and understanding!! She let out 3 dogs for us with less than 24-hr notice. It was so nice to come home after a long day on the road to no accidents and happy pets. Thanks Azaria!!”


“I had a great experience with Taryn. She stopped by to check on my 2 kitties daily for 10 days and kindly followed the overly-detailed feeding instructions I left her. :) I also appreciated the 2-3 pics she'd send each day on the Rover card. She is friendly, responsive, easy to work with, and I would book with her again.”


About: I've always loved animals. I've helped to walk my families dogs since I was a kid and have always loved hanging out with furry friends. I currently work a full time job but have the weekends free to spend lots of time with your pet. I also have plenty of time on weeknights to still give your baby some love. Keeping your pet feeling comfortable and safe in their home with a new person is extremely important. I seek to provide a stable, as close to normal routine for your pet while you're away.

About: I have had one dog for 4+ years, and another dog for 2+. I have dedicated a lot of my life since getting my two dogs as far as training them, taking them on long walks, playing with them, and most importantly, loving them and giving them all the attention they need and deserve. I have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of dogs because I currently do not have another job! I prefer to work early in the morning/afternoon. At my home, there is a lot of space for my doggies to run around because there is a park right outside my door which is great! They also have their own play space inside.

“Margaret was great! Communication and care for the cats was just incredible. She would stay and play with the cats and give them all the attention they wanted. Our cats are fairly skittish but Margaret quickly earned their trust and we are so happy that she was here to keep them safe and healthy and cared for. Will absolutely use her again for our next time away from home.”


About: I’ve always been passionate about animal welfare and care. There has never been a time I have not owned animals and currently has 4 cats and 1 dog. My experience stretches further as I have experience with anywhere from small animals such as chinchillas and guinea pigs to horses and previously working as a vet managing 90 baby deer. I share a lot of love and attention with my animals and would be happy to share that time and dedication with yours! I have a full time career in Human Resources for a large local employer where I work remote which has allowed me to have so many of my own fur babies! I am pretty flexible and wouldn’t accept a job where I couldn’t meet your animals needs. I have four cats that are well adjusted to dogs (including my neighbors 90 lb golden retriever) and a very social dog that my husband takes to the dog park 4 days a week. I also don’t mind staying at other persons homes as I have before with our neighbors and friends. You can expect that I will always treat your home and privacy with the utmost respect—just as I would want someone to do in my own home. If you have specific rules or instructions, you can count on me to follow them carefully and consistently.

“Laura again took excellent drop in care for our senior kitty, Sophie. Laura was even able to gain her trust and Sophie welcomed her petting after a couple of visits! Sophie is extremely shy with most people!”


“Claire was great! My kitty was a little shy and didn’t quite warm up to her but she was still super sweet and patient. Great sitter! She was highly communicative and accepted a last-minute booking over a holiday which was a lifesaver for us. Would certainly book her again!”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience as a dedicated dog foster. I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Fostering has taught me how to read dog body language, build trust quickly, and create a calm, loving environment where every pup feels safe and cared for. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just some extra snuggles, I treat every dog like they're my own. Dog care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and live an active lifestyle. I’m able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day, with regular walks, playtime, and potty breaks. Whether it’s a quick cuddle or an afternoon stroll, your pup will be part of my everyday rhythm. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. In my home, pets have a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of attention and supervised play. In client homes, I treat their space with respect and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure while sticking to their normal routine.

About: I’ve worked at Feeder’s Supply, where I cared for a variety of animals and regularly bathed dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My experience there helped me build strong skills in animal handling and care. I’ve also owned many types of pets over the years and currently have two cats of my own. Whether it’s feeding, walking, bathing, or just giving them love and attention, I’m passionate about making sure every animal feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently spend most of my time caring for my daughter and cats, but am looking to share my love with other animals in need of care while their parents are busy! This can include regular services Monday to Saturday between 8:15 am and 4:45 pm; if you need something outside of this, message me and we’ll see what we can work out! For dogs, any equipment must be provided by you to ensure I am using leashes, toys, etc. that fit your pet and they are comfortable with. For cats, I can provide a cat harness or stroller to take them outside in a controlled environment for extra enrichment. I also have a set of cat toys to bring if needed.

About: I live with my husband on 5 acres of land. A large back yard portion is fully fenced and has Dog doors for easy access and play. Our home was built with dogs safety and fun in mind! I have had dogs of all sizes my whole life and they are family! I currently have 2 smaller dogs. A Chihuahua mixes and a dachshund. We have taken in and cared for other pets their whole lives so they are very comfortable sharing their space. I've spent the last 15 years employed at a local Veterinary clinic where I have gained experience in all areas of pet Care. I have recently retired and my husband is retired which gives us the freedom to be available at home to be with your pets. I am home full time and my husband is retired so care is available all of the time. We specialize in geriatric dogs and offer care as needed Our home is set up for ease of care for elderly dogs. They can get in and out with one small ramp. Ramps are set up around the home as needed. Part of our large yard stays plowed and open during the winter months for small dogs.

As a dog owner himself—he has a lovable golden retriever Daisy—he understands the importance of consistent care, attention, and affection for animals.
