I highly recommend Alexa! She was able to accommodate me with a last minute request. She was punctual on all her visits and most importantly she provided me with Rover report card notes! After reading each of her report notes, I knew my doggies were in good hands with Alexa. I'll definitely be reaching out to Alexa for future visits!

So happy I was able to book with Polina somewhat last minute before Thanksgiving. She was on time, gave me updates with pictures, and most importantly took great care of my elderly cat while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking with her again.

Stevie-Rae did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. I felt 100% confident that they were well taken care of. She sent pictures each day to show that they warmed up to her even though they are very, very shy around people they don’t know. I highly recommend her to you.

Victoria is an incredible pet sitter!! She watched my cat Glinda while I was away and immediately put me at ease with how thoughtful and communicative she was. I can tell she really cares about the pet she is sitting for and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy. I would highly recommend and will certainly be hiring Victoria again.

Charlie was a fantastic pet sitter. My 3 cats are challenging, needing to all be fed separately and kept separate while I’m away! I’m sure it was difficult to juggle feeding each one, separately, changing water dishes, scooping 2 boxes at opposite ends of the house, making sure no one escaped from their partitioned areas, all in a half hour - and finding time for a little love or play. Charlie reported any uncertainties that arose, and sent me pictures at the end of each visit which was very much appreciated! I felt at ease knowing my little rapscallions were in her hands. Her rates are reasonable and fair, and I would heartily recommend her!

She was incredibly sweet and attentive, treating my dogs like they were her own. I especially appreciated the regular updates and pictures she sent. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

About: I don't know what life is like without dogs! I have been surrounded with dog love all my life and started taking care of pets about 10 years ago. I have taken care of puppies that were just 8 weeks old, to senior dogs who were 15 years old. I love all dogs big or small! I enjoy the exercise that comes with playing with and walking dogs but I am also a sucker for the cuddles too! I am currently a student, but my class schedule is very open and flexible leaving me with lots of time to care for your doggies! I have the most availability Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. I am also available Wednesday mornings. I have fostered dogs in my house before but they have to be able to go up stairs and be walked on a leash so I prefer to house sit so the dogs are more comfortable in their own space especially if they are used to a fenced in yard. I am definitely not opposed to having pups come and stay with me but as I previously mentioned I do not have a fenced in yard and they have to either be able to get up/down a flight of stairs or be okay with being carried up/down them.

About: I’m detail-oriented and observant—cats are subtle, and I notice the small things that matter. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and I’ll flag anything unusual right away. Most importantly, I don’t force interaction. Whether your cat wants playtime, quiet companionship, or just someone reliable to keep their routine steady, I meet them where they are. I have full availability on weekends, which allows for extended visits, longer walks, playtime, and flexible scheduling. During the weekdays, I’m available in the mornings and evenings, making me a great fit for breakfast and dinner feedings, walks, medication schedules, and nighttime check-ins. Because I plan my day intentionally, I’m punctual, dependable, and able to stick closely to each pet’s normal routine—something that helps reduce stress, especially for cats, seniors, and pets who thrive on consistency. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, whether they’re in my home or in a client’s home. I focus on consistency, safety, and individualized attention so pets stay comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions exactly—feeding schedules, walks, litter or potty routines, medications, and any house rules. I keep the environment clean and calm, make sure pets get appropriate exercise or playtime, and monitor their behavior, appetite, and overall wellbeing. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment with plenty of attention, structured play, and rest time. I introduce pets slowly if others are present, separate when needed, and adjust care based on age, energy level, and temperament. Across all services, I prioritize clear communication, attention to detail, and treating every pet as an individual—not a one-size-fits-all routine.

About: My name is Maria! I have owned and cared for other fur babies for over 40 years. I am also a local business owner and swim coach looking to make some extra money for my many Disney trips! I am a business owner, so I can make my own schedule. This allows me to be flexible with my schedule, so that I can be there for your pet's needs! My standard services include visits in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I also offer overnight care and can be flexible with your schedule as things come up!

Cheyauna exceeded expectations! She was so communicative, she handled my 5 yr old and my puppy with extreme care and specific to their needs, and she even went above and beyond to come before the trip to meet and play with them for comfort. Anything that we asked she did that and more. Now that we have used Cheyauna we honestly couldn’t imagine going with anyone else in the future. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!

About: Prepared for all dogs large and small. I have experience with puppies and seniors, large and small breeds. My entire life I have had dogs; Golden Retrievers, Yorkshire Terriers, multiple mutts, Siberian Huskies. Anything your dog can throw at me, I'm prepared to handle! I'm currently in between jobs and am available for pet walking or sitting most days whenever needed. I have Siberian Husky named Frank who I walk 3 times a day for about 7 miles total. He is incredibly friendly and is a good walk buddy, but can also be left at home if not compatible . I'm more than aware that some dogs have no tolerance for Husky's. If house sitting Frank would always be left at my home. If caring for a dog in their home, it would always just be me and the dog. I follow all house rules, and am very adaptable to both the needs of the dogs, and dog owners. In terms of walks, I spend so much time on my daily walks with my dog, that I am hyperaware of warning signs from other dogs and am able to avoid any potetial confrontations.
