“Brandi took great care of my 2 cats while I was away for a week. As someone who gets very nervous about leaving my babies behind when traveling it was nice to know that they were in good hands ☺️”


“Kaitlyn has watched my cat's a few times now, most recently for a week-long trip out of state. She takes such great care of my boys & treats them as if they were her own cats. Despite my boys being pretty nervous & uneasy with change, Kaitlyn makes herself a calming presence for them. Not only that, she went above & beyond to take care of my house while I was gone. It is a really nice feeling coming home from a trip & finding the cats just as relaxed as the day I left.”


“Krystal was friendly and professional. She was patient and understanding with our shy cat. Even though the job was a simple daily drop-in to refill water and scoop the litter box, Krystal was reliable and thorough in her daily reports. I would definitely recommend hiring Krystal!”


“I cannot say enough about Amanda’s exceptional care for my four cats. Over the years, I’ve hired many pet sitters, and she is by far the best I’ve ever had. Her attentiveness and compassion made it so much easier for me to be away, giving me true peace of mind. Not only did she provide outstanding care for my cats, but she also went above and beyond by feeding the stray animals who rely on me for daily meals, as well as keeping my backyard squirrels and birds well-fed. She even collected my mail and kept in regular contact with updates, reassuring words, and adorable photos. Amanda is simply the BEST—reliable, thoughtful, and truly devoted. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”


“Emily is great. I can tell she really cares for animals and my dog (and fish) would agree. She’s punctual and shared plenty of picture updates while we were away. I definitely recommend Emily for your pet sitting needs! 😃”


About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life. I’ve cared for animals ranging from mice to horses. I have worked in vet clinics and have done a lot of research on my own time. They are my passion. I currently have the most experience in dogs. I’m actively an apprentice with a local dog trainer to be a positive reinforcement force free trainer. I am also studying canine behavior. I have experience in doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming. I have administered medications ranging from oral medicine to injections (subq and intermuscular). Like I said before, I love em like my own! I am home all day most days. I do have two dogs of my own so they are always outside playing. Pet care is what I do when I wake up to when I go to bed. I’m available most days for play dates, walks, boarding, grooming, and more! I have a large fenced in yard. I also have so so many dog toys. I have two dogs as well so your baby can make friends! I can offer crates when we leave or at night if you prefer! I have plenty of house for them to be in as well, also plenty of people to love on them! Your baby will never be alone!

“Katelyn goes above and beyond when watching our house and pups while we are gone. One of my dogs is rambunctious, very large, and likes to do naughty things to get attention but Katelyn has all the patience in the world for her! I think the dogs are disappointed when we come home because they love Katelyn and all the attention and love she gives them. Highly recommend her for any fur baby needs!”


“Kayla is an animal-lover through and through! She is polite, professional, and was exceptionally kind to my bunny. I felt comfortable with her in my home, and welcomed her daughter (who is also and animal-lover) who befriended my sweet bunny! I got cute pictures, she followed all my crazy instructions, and left my pet and my space exactly how I asked her to. I will definitely go to Kayla next time I am in need of a pet sitter! 🙋🏻♀️”


About: I have had animals in my life all of my life. I grew up on a farm with dogs and cats. I am happy to take dogs for walks/runs, and cuddle and hang out with cats. I train horses for a living so I have a flexible schedule. I can give meds and shots. I train horses for a living so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I have two dogs(including a senior diabetic husky) and three cats that I absolutely love. I travel around daily for my job and would love to pop in and help care for yours!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 13yrs old, both young to old and small to big in size. My love for animals makes me pet owner’s #1 call. I have also volunteered my time at my local Humane Society where I use my photography skills to photograph animals for their website and any extra time was spent in playing in the cat room and getting the dogs outside for some play time. I’m hoping to take this career on full time so my availability is open to give you the opportunity to give your pet the care and attention it needs throughout the day. When your pet is with me they have my full attention whether we’re in your neighborhood or my own. My home is located in the country with trails we’ve made through our property to give pets a clear and safe path to roam while on leashes.

About: I used to be on rover with my mom as dog sitters. We had a lot of happy customers many of whom would book with us multiple times. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I am available for dog walking and drop in visits. I may or may not be able to do walks every day of the week depending on what time the dog goes for a walk. When I am taking care of a pet wether it’s someone else’s or my own I do my very best to ensure that animal is get everything they could possibly need to be happy and thriving.

“Panzer loves Brianna! Having her has been wonderful. Her availability is changing and we will be losing her. We will miss her!!! Anyone who books with her is putting their pets in good hands! 🥰”


“Needed a couple drop-ins on short notice so I contacted Hailey and she got back to me right away. We set up a meet and great for that evening and she was right on time. All 3 dogs just loved her at first sight! After they got their attention we went over all the details of food, water, etc. She was on time to appointments and sent pics during visit. Hailey has great communication and I will definitely use her again.”

“Kim made us feel so comfortable about leaving our dog at home. Kim's knowledge of animals and immediate repoire with our dog Ewok (a Shih Tzu). Ewok tends to be picky with her people and seeing Kim's approach and attitude, Ewok was immediately comfortable. After returning from vacation we came home to find the house in good shape, Ewok looked groomed and happy and she gave us a great report. Even in the middle of our vacation when we were nervous pet owners. We may have contacted her a. Bit too much. She made us feel comfortable that Ewok was doing well and being looked after. Kim made us feel she was loving and responsible person, and we wouldn't hesitate to ask her to dogsit Ewok again.”
