“Sara saved the day for the fur babies. Her communication was great and she had no problem cleaning up after the big boy. Thank you again Sara for being so Amazing!!”
“Lyndsey is the best, she’s so professional and goes out of her way to care for my senior dog. I don’t think I would have been able to travel without Lyndsey’s help, knowing that she’s caring for my Molly take some of my travel worries off my shoulders. Thanks!”
About: I have worked with cats and dogs for many years. I have trained my own dog who is very well tempered and I have administered different types of medicines to older and younger animals! I have a very open schedule as a college student and love spending time with animals! I love going on walks and being outdoors, weather doesn’t matter to me! I live in a nice neighborhood with a dog park walking distance away, and I have no other animals so that yours can be the center of attention!
“Helena does an amazing job with any animal! Our ferret got sick and she was able to go to urgent care with her and payed extra attention to her the rest of her visits. She goes above and beyond. You won’t regret booking her.”
“Katelyn took great care of my cat while I was away. She was gentle, attentive, and clearly treated my cat with kindness and respect. I felt confident leaving my pet with her and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend”
“Carlo is watching our cats while we are out of the country for a month and he is doing a fantastic job! He sends pics from each visit and we know our babies are just fine. We cannot say enough good things or thank Carlo enough!”
“Sarah has become a regular in our lives! She is so great with my pup and takes such good care of her. I feel such a relief knowing Sarah spends time with our girl and I don’t have to worry about her while I’m gone. And Sarah always goes above and beyond if her schedule permits — to the point that I had her just hang out with our puppy for two hours for no other reason than to keep an eye on her because our pup had to wear a onesie. 😂”
“This was my first time using Jake on Rover, and I couldn’t have had a better experience. We started with a meet-and-greet at my home so he could meet my two cats, Nigel and Daisy, which immediately gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind. Jake was friendly, professional, and clearly very comfortable with animals. During the drop-in visits he was reliable, communicative, and made sure everything was taken care of. Both Nigel and Daisy seemed relaxed and well cared for while I was away, which meant a lot to me. It’s not always easy trusting someone new with your pets, but Jake made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful sitter.”
“Tifani is wonderful! She was caring, communicative, and responsive with all three of my cats, and she followed my care instructions to a T. I got regular updates while I was away and came home to three happy kitties. Highly recommend!”
“Jaritza was wonderful— she not only arrived early, but also provided updates throughout my puppy’s drop-in visit. Jaritza effectively communicated with me and ensured to keep me up to date with his activity. With this being our puppy’s first drop-in visit, she most definitely put our minds at ease.”
“We’ve used Melissa several times to take care of our three cats. She always sends photos and takes time to pet them and give them treats. We never worry about our cats when she takes care of them.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was in high school, giving me plenty of experience with both cats and dogs. I will treat your pets like my own, and am committed to open communication- expect updates with every visit! I am a graduate student, so my weekday availability is limited, but my weekends have plenty of time free to spend with your pets! Let me know if you have any questions or special requests for your animals. I am a graduate student, so my weekdays are slightly limited. Wednesdays I have more time to check in. My weekends are a lot more free for check in visits! I currently do not offer pet care in my own home. I offer check in visits, walks, and house sitting. With regular clients, I may consider offering this service!
“Lauren was freaking awesome!!! We’ve interviewed numerous candidates since relocating and Lauren from the first meeting to the finished sitting represented herself impeccably. We were able to enjoy our time away without worrying about our furry family members, the house and not being robbed… yes, it’s happened! Lauren is now a valued friend to us. She also picked up and straightened things! Give her a shot, you’ll be so glad you did!”
About: I’ve had dogs of my own for the last 14 years. Walking, feeding, and playing is a part of my daily routine. I have some experience with senior dogs who need pills, eye drops, or ear drops. I’m currently working part time so there will be plenty of time to walk, feeding, or play with your dogs. Most availability time will be in the afternoons. I will take care of your dog as if they were my own. Safety is key with our four legged friends so if they need to be crated or have specific instructions for walking, I will ensure they will be followed.
“Jessica and Eric were very personable and thorough in meeting the schedule provided for my dog. My dog is a high energy breed and they went out of their way to make sure he got plenty of exercise on walks and at the neighborhood park. I can also tell they were very patient and kind with him because he posed for quite a few photos which came out great. I would highly recommend them.”

Lyndsey is the best, she’s so professional and goes out of her way to care for my senior dog. I don’t think I would have been able to travel without Lyndsey’s help, knowing that she’s caring for my Molly take some of my travel worries off my shoulders. Thanks!
Elisha is truly amazing. She goes above and beyond and can handle even a difficult kitty cat with ease. She is thoughtful and has great communication skills. Very trustworthy and always on time and consistent. I could relax while away knowing my kitties were in great hands. A++++
I can’t say enough wonderful things about our dog walker Lauren. From day one, she showed an incredible ability to tailor her care to both of my dogs’ very different needs. My senior dog requires a slower pace, patience, and close attention, and Lauren handle that with such kindness and awareness—never rushing, always making sure he’s comfortable and safe. At the same time, she somehow keeps up with my energetic 4-year-old, who comes back from every walk happily tired and mentally stimulated. It’s clear Lauren truly understand dogs at every stage of life, and that level of care gives me total peace of mind with Lauren on the job. Beyond that, her reliability and communication are outstanding. I always received thoughtful updates with photos, and videos. It’s obvious Lauren genuinely care about my boys like they’re her own. Whether it’s adjusting to my senior dog’s daily condition or making sure my younger pup gets plenty of exercise and play, Lauren consistently go above and beyond. I trust her completely and feel so lucky to have found someone who can balance compassion and energy so effortlessly—I highly recommend Lauren to anyone with multiple dogs and different needs!
Brandy provided exceptional care for my two 16 year old cats. One of the cats was not eating much and losing weight before I had to leave town for a family matter. Brandy took the time to try different foods for him and even sat with him to ensure that he was eating and the other cat wasn’t eating his food. Brandy also paid great attention to whether my male cat was using the litter box and let me know her concerns. Brandy is reliable, kind, courteous and on top of her game. She truly is compassionate with each pet she is caring for and provides the best of care always. Thank you Brandy!
Daniela is amazing!!! She walked, fed, and played with Coffee. She sent me pictures while she was at my home. The best part was Coffee was tired when we got home and slept through the night, which he doesn’t usually if we been gone a while. We will definitely have her over again to watch Coffee.
Toneshea dropped in on my two cats for 10 days. She did great with them, followed all my instructions, and went the extra mile to rotate some of their toys and try new things since they were alone for so long. She even got my shy cat who's warry of strangers to come out her shell and seek pets and play after a few days.
