About: As a dedicated pet sitter with 7+ years of experience, I go beyond basic care to provide pets with love, attention, and an stress-free environment while their owners are away. I have experience with a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, small pets, and even exotic or farm animals. Whether it’s administering medication, handling special dietary needs, or providing structured exercise and enrichment, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I specialize in working with shy, anxious, reactive, or senior pets, using patience and positive reinforcement to help them feel comfortable and secure. With an extensive background in the Veterinary field, I ensure pets stay safe and happy under my care. My goal is to not only meet but exceed your expectations—providing updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. Let me treat your pet like family! With an open and flexible schedule, I can provide pet care that fits seamlessly into your routine. Since I am not currently employed elsewhere, I am available for last-minute bookings, extended stays, and midday visits—ensuring your pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s an early morning walk, a late-night check-in, or specialized care throughout the day, I can accommodate your pet’s specific schedule without restrictions. My priority is making sure your pet stays happy, comfortable, and well-cared for while giving you peace of mind. I am currently enrolled in school to continue pursuing my Doctorate in Psychology. I understand that a pet’s home is their safe space, and I take great care in ensuring they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. In your home, I maintain your pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions—so they experience minimal disruption. I treat every home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, tidy, and just as you left it. My goal is to provide not just pet care, but complete peace of mind, knowing that your furry family member is happy and well-cared for in the comfort of their own home.

“Colleen was absolutely amazing! Not only did she take fantastic care of our pets—who absolutely adored her—but she also handled every curveball we threw her way with ease. The weather was completely uncooperative, but she adapted to every change in plans without hesitation. Her reliability, communication, and flexibility gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend her to anyone needing top-notch pet care. Thank you, Colleen!”


“Love love loved my first time using Rover especially with the help of Elise. She was so helpful and Fraser loved every second of it. Will definitely rebook the next time I need some help.”


“Alexis was great and watched my cat for a few days over the weekend. I got lots of photos and my cat got all the attention and care she needed while I was out of town. Definitely recommend!”


About: I’ve been a proud dog mom since my pup was just a few weeks old—now he’s almost 4 and still acts like a goofy little puppy! I’ve had experience giving ear drops to my own dog and oral medications. Over the years, I’ve also had lots of hands-on experience with my dad’s dogs. He’s ranged from having 3 dogs to currently having 6 (yes, six!) chocolate labs, so I’m no stranger to big dogs, multiple dogs, or all the energy that comes with them. I truly love being around dogs—they bring out the best in me. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just keeping them company, I treat every pup like family. Your fur baby will be loved, safe, and spoiled just like my own! I work full-time Monday-Friday, however, every other Friday I am off. My Friday-Sunday are my most free days. I am flexible though based on the needs of your dogs. I have a fully-fenced in yard. My dog is an almost 4 year old Aussie Doodle who loves everyone, but if I need to keep him separate, I do have the capability to do so. He’s a big goofball that loves to play so your pup will always have a friend to play with. He is neutered, stays on flea/tick/heartworm monthly medicine, and up-to-date on shots.

“Love having Amy come a couple of days a week to take my girl on a walk and love on her. She even left us an Easter basket with goodies for me and Lany. Amy also gave Lany a little gift on Valentine’s Day. I always get pictures of their time which is a little “happy” for me during the work day. Thank you, Amy!”


“Jacquelyn was excellent with our two doggies. She took great care of them, and I love how she kept us informed throughout the whole time we were away. The photos she included were very much appreciated. I definitely recommend entrusting your doggies in Jacquelyn’s care.”


“Kai was very helpful while I was on Christmas vacation. She always checked on my cat on time and gave me lots of updates. I couldn't be happier and will hire again in the future 😄”


About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats over the past 15 years. My family has relied on me many times to walk and feed their pets while they're away. I’ve personally had three senior dogs so I am familiar with their special needs. Also, as a nurse I am comfortable giving medications if needed. I work full time as a nurse. I work three shifts a week and it is the same days each week, so I am available regularly during the week. I have three cats currently. They are dog and cat friendly. My backyard is partially enclosed but I live in a walkable neighborhood so I would not leave them out in the backyard since it’s not fully enclosed.

“I was really grateful that Jennifer could stop by to check on my cat with such short notice while I was out for the day. She was on time, sent pictures, and I didn’t have to worry about anything. Definitely will use her services in the future!”


“Kayla provided excellent care for our furbabies while we were on vacation. She gave them lots of snuggles and sent adorable pictures to let us know they were having a great time. I will definitely be using her again!!”


About: From the age of 12, I've been taking care of pets. My passion for providing pets with the utmost care and attention has grown over the years. Through my experience, I have not only developed a strong sense of compassion for all animals, but I have also developed the ability to handle any situation. I have a trio of furry friends, but what sets them apart is that I've taken it upon myself to raise, train, and deliver two of them. The third one was a gift, but they've all become an integral part of my life. Rest assured that your beloved pet will be treated with the same love and care that I give to my furry friends. You can trust me to provide your pet with the attention and affection they deserve. As an independent worker, I have the flexibility to be there for you and your furry friends whenever you need me. Count on me to provide reliable and attentive care for your pets. At the moment, I don't provide in-home pet services. However, I'm committed to adhering to all safety guidelines to guarantee your furry friend's well-being and an enjoyable experience.

Madison R.
“Madison took care of my babies Oreo🐶, Gracie Mae🐶 and Spirit🐱 last year when I went to visit a town I was potentially moving to in Colorado. She took such good care of all 3 of them and treated them as if they were her own. She stayed in my house with them which I know made them all not miss me as much as they could have and I LOVED THAT. She took good care of my home too. Oreo and Gracie went to work with her (doggy daycare) when she was able to take them and that kept them busy and not wondering where I was also. I wish I still lived in Alabama so that I could continue to use Madison. I would TOTALLY recommend Madison to anyone that needs a sitter and wants someone that treats their babies like her own. THANK YOU SO MUCH MADISON FOR LOVING MY BABIES!!!”
