“Cheyenne is our go to sitter for our cat Emmie. We have used her a few times now and are so pleased! She is professional, punctual and has great communication. She is wonderful with Emmie and Emmie adores her. If your looking for a sitter and have peace of mind while your away Cheyenne is definitely the sitter you need. We will hire her again and again.”


“Alissa stopped in multiple afternoons to take care of my dog while I was at work. She is reliable, easy to communicate with, and sent great updates about her visit with pictures!”


“Turin did an amazing job with our cat Noah! For the first time we left him for 10 days and felt a bit uneasy about it, but Turin took great care of him. She sent pictures daily so we always felt comfortable and Noah seems to have taken a quick liking as he was even photographed on her lap! Thanks so much Turin! Highly recommended and whenever we go away again I will be sure to call you.”


“Kathryn was great. She willingly agreed to take care of my girls at 5 am. She arrived earlier than expected knowing my dogs need a little extra love and sent me a lot of pictures. We will definitely use Kathryn again to help care for my 11 year old pups.”


About: Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. For over five years, I’ve provided reliable pet care for dogs and cats, from daily walks to overnight stays. I’m experienced with all ages and temperaments, including senior pets and those with anxiety. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe and loved Currently i work a full time job M-F 8-4pm. Open to pet sitting after work. Available all day on weekends. In August I will be starting law school and my schedule will open up to Fridays/Saturdays- Sundays all day I can accommodate pets who prefer alone time or need crating, and I follow any specific routines or instructions to make your pet feel at home. Cleanliness, comfort, and supervision are always a top priority.

“Lucero did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. I also liked Lucero as a person - she is very nice and very reliable. Definitely will come back to her the next time I will need a sitter for my cat! Thank you so much!”


“Tammie was an absolute lifesaver while I was on vacation! She came three times a day to care for my cat, including administering oral medication, which can be a challenge—but she handled it with total professionalism and care. She was always on time, incredibly communicative, and sent regular updates that really helped me relax while I was away. When our flight was unexpectedly delayed, she didn’t hesitate to make additional last-minute visits to make sure my cat was safe and comfortable. Her flexibility and dedication truly went above and beyond. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in such capable and compassionate hands. I will 100% be booking with Tammie again and can’t recommend her highly enough!”


“Alex did an excellent job; really went above and beyond my expectations!!! Always sent cute pics of the cats and spent a lot of time with them. Based on the pics, I could tell the cats really bonded with Alex…5 stars for sure!”


About: Hi! If you’re wondering what my experience is in animal care, I currently work at a doggie daycare/ boarding facility. I work full time but do my best to fit in my rover clients especially with the summer coming up. I can confidently say your furry family member will be in the best care with me. Not only am I comfortable with dogs and cats but reptiles as well. During my time at the kennel I do daily tasks such as cleaning, learning canine/feline behavior, administering medications/insulin. I also am familiar with tending to medical emergencies such as heat strokes and seizures. I have no preference and love all sizes and breeds (although those big breeds will always have my heart). I can’t wait to get to know you and your furry friends! I currently work full time but I do my best to be flexible around most schedules. The summer time is a very busy confusing time especially with working at a dog kennel. Please contact me for further questions or concerns. I have a fenced in yard at home. But have no issues coming to your home or visiting to take care of your fur babies.

About: I'm Rai (he/him)! I am a proud cat dad to Luca -- he is my whole world. I will treat your pets like my own, send you picture updates, play with them, sing them little songs, and accommodate their needs! I'm the go-to pet sitter for my friends & family and would love to be your go-to person as well :) I'm currently working part-time and freelancing, so my schedule is flexible! I typically have a lot of availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays and in the evenings. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, medications, or playtime. I respect your home and your pet’s routines, including any rules about where they’re allowed to be. I’ve got experience with my own cat, Luca, who used to love jumping on tables—so I understand how to gently reinforce boundaries and make sure your pets are safe and comfortable while you're away.

About: I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I’ve had dogs, cats, and other pets my entire life. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for over 15 years. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, and of course cuddling your fur members of the family. If there are other tasks you need done around the house when I’m pet sitting, don’t hesitate to ask, chances are I am more then happy to do it. I am off Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. On Fridays I am off at 2:30 and can accept clients after 3:00. I am available for last minute visits. My husband and I work opposite schedules so someone is always around. PLEASE READ! For boarding at my house I typically like to meet the dogs prior to accepting booking. I have two dogs of my own, a large mix breed ( male) and a medium mix breed ( girl). My dogs have always been around other dogs. During your pets stay at my house they will have access to a fully fenced in yard, free range of house and endless love ! I do request your pets to have flea and tick prevention and be up to date with vaccines. My propety is surrounded by woods and wildlife so I like to be cautious. I feed the dogs I’m boarding in a separate room, and have ample toys for different stimulation. I can send daily updates and pictures. My house also has cameras inside and out to watch when I step out.

About: As a professional dog trainer, I have a deep understanding of canine body language and behavior, allowing me to tailor your dog’s stay to their unique personality and needs. Whether they love playtime, prefer quiet snuggles, or need extra structure, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Every dog is different, and I customize my care to what works best for them! I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. My life revolves around dogs 24/7, with most of my work consisting of Zoom meetings and training sessions. If I do leave, it’s only for 1-2 hours max—but even then, I have a live video camera set up so I can keep an eye on your pup. It even lets me talk to them and dispense treats! Whether they need playtime, enrichment, or a cozy spot to relax, they’ll always have the care and attention they deserve. When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family! I provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment tailored to their unique needs. Whether they love to play, relax, or enjoy the outdoors, I adjust their stay to what makes them happiest. In my home, your pup will enjoy: • Dog-Friendly Lake Access – I live on a dog-friendly lake, and during the warmer months, I can even take your pup swimming if that’s something they enjoy! • Constant Companionship – I work from home, so they’re rarely alone. • Live Video Monitoring – If I step out for a short time (1-2 hours max), I have a camera that lets me check in, talk to them, and even give treats. • Crate-Free Environment – Your dog can enjoy their stay without the need for a crate, as I have a dog-proofed home that keeps them safe while preventing them from getting into anything they shouldn’t. • Personalized Care – I understand canine body language and behavior, ensuring their routine fits their personality and comfort level. • Daily Enrichment – Playtime, mental stimulation, and structured activities to keep them engaged. • Cozy & Safe Environment – Whether they prefer a quiet nap spot or an active day, I create a space where they feel at home. Every dog is different, and I make sure their stay is as stress-free and enjoyable as possible!

About: I have cared for my own dogs in my family for the past ten years and have sat animals in my extended family. It is important to leave your furry family members in the trusted care of your sitter or walker which is why I treat your pets like my own. I currently work from home two days a week and am available on weekends. My weeks are flexible and can do early morning or evening drop ins. In my own home we make sure our furry friends are comfortable- we walk on leashes and when in a fenced in yard will always keep an eye on them!

“I have never been away from my dog, Bubba, for more than 3 hours and when I met Raisa through a friend, it was like all of my worries were lifted off my shoulders. Raisa took care of Bubba for a 3 whole consecutive days until I came home for bedtime. She walked him three times a day, fed them, played with him (sometimes at dog parks), and kept up with his in-home potty training. It was a lot of responsibility for someone’s first time with my dog and she did an amazing job.”


Julia T.

Elizabeth S.
“When you have a new puppy, trusting an unfamiliar person or service can feel overwhelming. We were lucky to have found Liz to tend to Milo for doggy daycare 4 days a week. Not only did Liz take care of him, but Liz and her dogs helped Milo become more social and build confidence. What sets Liz apart is her genuine love for animals and her professionalism. Liz always puts the dogs' well-being first, and if anything ever affects our schedule, Liz communicates clearly and with plenty of notice. Liz is incredibly reliable, consistent, and trustworthy. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog as if they were their own, and give you real peace of mind I highly recommend reaching out to Liz.”


Emily T.
“Emily will take excellent care of your pet! She is a true animal lover with many years of experience taking care of animals. She has cared for pets of all ages and abilities, include puppies, older dogs and cats, and disabled pets. Emily is a very loving person, and will treat your pet as if it were her own.”
