“Jade did a great job! This is the first time that my wife and I, had a cat/house sitter and we were very fortunate to have found Jade. She was excellent. The kiddies loved her and warmed up to her very quickly. She kept the house clean and abided by our rules during her stay. She sent us pictures of our babies, while we were gone, and kept us informed of what was happening everyday. I feel that she is very trustworthy and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. We plan on using her again.”


“This was our first time booking with Kristin and it was a great experience! It can be nerve wracking having a new pet sitter but she sent lots of updates and pictures that put me instantly at ease. We’ll definitely book with her again in the future.”



“Terri was absolutely amazing! She took the best care of our pups and our house was just as clean as it was when we left! We are so thankful we found her and if you are looking for someone to love your pups while you are gone, she is the best!!!”


“Katherine did great I think that Rover could make make things more easier in their app when I became sick yesterday my husband was unable to go in and figure it out because it wouldn’t let him edit the day and then he tried to book another one Katherine was not on there to be able to book her is why we couldn’t book it. We were not trying to go behind anyone’s back because Katherine had made it very clear that was not allowed she did reach out to us but I was in bed sick very sick and my husband didn’t know how to do it but I think his number was listed as a secondary just in case so now my house is full of a mess when I booked it for three days and didn’t leave until the 28th so I need to know what needs to be paid”


“Lynde was very prompt and extremely professional. As a first time user, I was nervous about the quality of service. Lynde made us feel at ease with her kind demeanor and proficiency. I would strongly recommend her services on this app. Thank you”


“Annetta is AMAZING!! She stayed at our home for 2 nights with our two pups. (Jasmine 10 year old lab and Lucy 3 year old German short haired pointer) She sent tons of pictures and updates letting us know our girls were ok while we were gone. Our pups have to take medicine and Annetta didn’t skip a beat. Not only did she do a wonderful job with our girls, but she also kept our house perfectly clean and she even picked up the dog poop before leaving. If you are looking for someone to love your animals the same way you do then look no further! Thank you again Annetta!”


“Very loving and attentive to our dogs and cat while we were away for a week. Took extra good care of them, took them on adventures, and gave them lots of cuddles. Highly recommend!”


About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 20. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets—and I treat each one like my own. I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and those with special needs, and I know how to read body language and respond calmly and confidently in any situation. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priority. I work full-time but have plenty of availability for evening, weekend, and overnight care. I’m reliable, responsive, and committed to making sure your pet gets the love, attention, and routine they need—even with a busy schedule. I’m happy to coordinate pickup/drop-off times that work best for you. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I provide a calm, loving, and supervised environment where pets feel safe and at home. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs for built-in companionship, but I can also crate or separate as needed based on your pet’s comfort level. I always follow your care instructions closely and treat every pet like family.

I'm willing to learn anything needed to care for any kind of animal and won't back down from a challenge! I am available morning, lunch, and evening as well as most weekends. I'm easy to work with and flexible as long as my own animals and kids are taken care of first! I follow instructions and will always respect your wishes when it comes to care for your animal. Their safety comes first and i'll never jeopardize that! When caring for an animal, I understand they can make a mess and i'm happy to clean up. You wouldn't have to worry about coming home to your pets messes if it happens!

“Is there an option for 100 stars?!? Celeste is a gem! She stayed with our two Pyrenees for 8 days and we never worried about a thing. We got pictures/videos every day and could see that our puppers were happy and well cared for. Celeste kept the house clean and kept the puppers even cleaner! We could tell she had brushed and groomed them throughout the week. She is also a talented artist and left a drawing of the puppers on our fridge. We highly recommend Celeste to care for your fur babies ♡”

I'll use the tools provided by you to provide upstanding care for your furry friends. Walking, feeding, play and enrichment, even bathing if requested! It's a pleasure to work with these animals and make them happy and comfortable!
