“Hallie is outstanding. Our dog loved her and she gave us great updates to keep us knowing he was having a great time while we left on vacation. We hate to leave our boy but she made it a time we all could enjoy.”


“Alicia was wonderful with our pups. We have used her twice and could tell that our dogs enjoyed their time with her in our home. We will be calling on her again for sure!”


“Emily went over and beyond our expectations with our Remington. Updates and pictures throughout the weekend. Remington bonded with Emily very quickly and even slept with Emily! Would use her again for sure. Emily sent us a bonus surprise. A computation of all the pictures she took of our baby. Brought tears to me eyes as my girl is greying and I now have a beautiful video of her. Thank you Emily!!”


“We had a fantastic experience with Julie! She took care of our pups for 3 nights and kept us updated with texts and photos regularly. She was super easy to work with and our pups were happy upon our return! Would highly recommend!”


“Caroline is a great pet sitter! She took care of our 2 dogs (one who is a coonhound who is sweet but not the easiest temperament!), our indoor/ outdoor cat and our chickens, goats and barn cats. It’s hard for us to leave our farm for vacation but she was in top of it! She watered my front porch flowers and kept them alive during a heat wave. The house was in immaculate condition and all the pets were in good spirits. I can highly recommend her taking exceptional care of your animals and house!”


About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for animals. I specialize in overnight care, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'm experienced with senior pets who need extra attention and gentle care, as well as energetic puppies that require structured routines and basic training reinforcement. Whether it’s administering medication, sticking to special diets, or just offering extra cuddles, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine, and I make it a priority in my schedule. I’m available for overnight stays during the week and weekends, and I plan my days around the pets I care for—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication. I maintain a calm, consistent environment to help pets feel secure, and I give updates regularly so you know how your pet is doing. I’m flexible and can adjust to meet your pet’s usual routine to keep them happy and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I create a calm, secure, and familiar environment by following your routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’m always mindful of safety, keeping doors, gates, and potential hazards in check, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I provide regular updates with photos and messages, so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. Building trust—with both you and your pet—is at the heart of how I care.

About: I’ve dealt with all sorts of animals from tiny chihuahuas to Great Danes. I have volunteered at shelters and exotic rescues in the past. I’m used to high maintence and balancing very different pet personalities to make sure the home stay stable and comforting. I am an incoming college freshman. So for now almost all day everyday is free but even when school starts most of my evenings and mornings will still be available! I prioritize creating a safe environment for all pets in my care. Their home is their safe space I will stick to your dogs schedule as best as possible. I will treat your pet and your home with the upmost integrity and send updates via photos, text, or call as often as you need/want.

About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. They have been a big part of my life. I always love getting to meet and play with new dogs! I have cared for and walked many family and friends dogs and now I want to expand my knowledge and experience!!! I have also been working at a animal shelter for 2 yrs so I have lots of experience with all types of dogs, big or small, rambunctious or scared. I love cats as well and have taken care of quite a few but I don't have a lot of experience with them. I am willing to sit with and care for pretty much any animal!!! I have also completed 2 different behavior classes through my shelter and I'm working on a third right now for dog playgroups. I'm currently only working 4 days so I have 3 days im available! I try my best to work with every schedule and I am willing to take off work for a day or two if needed but I have to have at least a 2 week notice. I do everything from potty breaks, feeding, medication, daily walks near or away from clients home (park walks), playtime alone or with other dogs, ECT.

About: I have been taking care of pets for our entire lives. i have experience with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes (as well as reptiles, fish, and plants!). i have been pet-sitting for colleagues and friends for a while now as well as caring for three cats at home. i have previously cared for cats and dogs of all ages, including animals with special needs and medication schedules. I have a fairly flexible schedule at my day job, and will coordinate around your schedule to make sure I can meet every pet's needs. I would prefer to care for pets in your home, as they're likely to be more comfortable that way (and my cats will too). However, I can make exceptions in special cases. I do prefer to have an initial meet and greet with pets and people to make sure everyone's comfortable. For house-sitting, I goal is to make sure your pet(s) are as comfortable as possible, so I will schedule my workday to be there with them as often as possible.

“Keri stayed in my home with my Golden Retriever for several days. She was very active with him, taking him to dog parks and spending quality time with him. She sent great pictures and videos, which helped me to know that he was happy and in good hands, and I could relax and enjoy my trip! My dog had to have medication each day and Keri was excellent with that, as well. Not only was Keri an excellent caretaker and entertainer of my dog, she was a very conscientious and courteous houseguest! She has a fabulous personality, is kind and thoughtful, and great with my dog, who is needy and demanding. I highly recommend Keri!”



“Kimberly was amazing! I had her watch my 2 pups while I was on vacation, and was nervous because I’ve never used rover before. She kept me updated the entire time I was away, spent a lot of time with my dogs, and sent many pictures! I was relieved to have someone that truly cares watch them. She also went above and beyond, and made sure my house and sheets were clean for me when I got back. Would 100% recommended her to anyone”


“Emily sits for my 3 dogs and my cat when I travel out of town. She is always dependable and communicates well. She takes good care of them! I can travel without worry knowing Emily is with them.”


“Ella was wonderful with my dog Charlotte. Took her on a walk, pampered her and made sure that she was fed on time and pampered. She also went the extra mile and helped me with my two outdoor cats. I will definitely use Ella again. She is a rare find!”


“Judy was great! Came and met our boy before we left. Showed her around. She came and took care of him, stayed most of the time with him. Sent photos, which made me feel better about leaving him. Met up with me at a convenient location to return our key. She was great and caring. Would hire again.”


About: I’ve taken care my dog max throughout the 10 years of his life before cancer unfortunately took him from us. I have watched and fed my neighbors dogs in the past. I am currently unemployed for the summer. I am looking for summer work, but until then I am free to work with as many dogs as possible! I will not be bringing dogs to my house, only home visits. It is just part of the rules when living with your parents. Sorry for the inconvenience.
