About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. From playful puppies and kittens to senior sweethearts, I provide personalized, attentive care that keeps tails wagging and pet parents at ease. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight house sitting, I make sure your fur baby feels safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence. I specialize in maintaining routines, handling special needs (like meds or shy pets), and giving plenty of one-on-one attention. Reliable, communicative, and truly passionate about animals—I treat every animal like family. Let’s make your time away worry-free and your pets day full of fun and comfort! Pet care is a regular and meaningful part of my daily life. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day drop-ins, or evening playtime, I structure my schedule to ensure I’m available when pets need me most. I prioritize consistency, communication, and flexibility, which means I’m able to accommodate different routines—whether that’s a quick lunchtime walk or overnight house sitting. Being around animals every day is not just part of my routine—it’s one of the best parts of my life. I care for pets in their own home by following their usual routines—meals, walks, meds, and play—while giving them comfort and companionship in a familiar space. I treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands.

“Alaina and her husband were great and provided excellent care for our senior dog! Great communication.”


“5 Stars +++ ! Rochelle was magnificent with my cats. They loved the attention and love she provided, and I couldn’t have been more pleased. I have found my Rover!”


“Carly checked on Drummond and Driscoll cats for a week everyday. They were able to get wet food and Carly made sure they had everything they needed. She checked on the litter robot as sometimes this malfunctions and added litter. They are very shy and newly adopted so she was not able to see them much but they were very happy when we came home! Thank you Carly for watching the boys as this is the first time owning pets and was nervous about trying this service but everything went smooth. I would book Carly again to watch my cats. We were able to see Yellowstone and grand Tetons national park and it was amazing!!”


“Rachel took care of our cat Olaf while we were out of town. Olaf usually hides with new visitors, but he immediately warmed up to Rachel! She did a great job communicating (updates, pictures, etc.) and followed the pet care plan perfectly. Couldn’t recommend her services more!”


“Samantha provided such peace of mind while we were away! She immediately connected with our dogs and gave them great care. I will happily work with Samantha for any future care for my pups.”


About: Hi, I’m Isabella! I am an animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats. I am ready to provide daily care, including feeding, walking, and basic grooming! I am very active and love to play. I am dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for all animals. I start college in the fall so I am open 24/7! I am available from a quick walk to a 14 day stay. I have very open availability. I am very trained in handling dogs. I am capable of keeping a dog on the leash and crating a dog if needed. I am comfortable with about anything.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 12. It started with being in charge of my family dogs walks and feedings. I helped out taking care of friends dogs when they were on vacation with their parents. As an adult, I was a dog groomer for 5 years, have taken care of dogs of all sizes, breeds and ages. With my grooming background I am well versed in the needs of different breeds and puppies versus adult versus senior dogs. I have experience dog sitting for an extended period of time while the family was out of the country. I currently have a 6 years old boxer/bulldog mix and go above and beyond for the care of my pets. I truly believe animals deserve to be treated as well as our human children ad any pest who is visiting my home is treated as part of my famiy. I currently work full time and my schedule is Monday-Thursdays. Tuesdays-Thursdays I am home by 430. I will have plenty of time on weekends to play and care for and even take pets out and about. If a weekday is what you need, I make mornings and after work a priority for my dog to get the care he needs. I have a large, fenced in backyard. My dog is incredibly dog friendly and just wants to be every animals best friend. Dogs are welcome on furniture and beds.


“Heather did a wonderful job sitting for my two kitties. I hate leaving them alone but felt at ease after meeting Heather that they would be well taken care of. During her visit she played with them, gave them their favorite treat, and even sent me some great pictures. As a bonus she brought in an unexpected package that had been delivered that day. I will definitely be using Heather again!”


About: I have 4 cats, a dog, and 3 fish tanks myself so I know a thing or two about cats and dogs. I dog sit my grandparents dog all the time, she takes meds 3 times a day so I can give any dog or cat meds if they have any. I have been around animals my whole life and I love them with my whole heart. Please consider me when you think about a dog sitter or walker! :) I work a before and afterschool job so during the summers I work 8-4 Monday and Friday and 7-1 Tuesday-Thursday, I have plenty of time after my shifts and in between to walk your dog and love on your animal. During the school year it’s a lot shorter work hours, I work 7am-9:30am, I have a break then I go back from 3:30pm-5:30 or 6pm We leash my dog when he has to use the bathroom so I always go out with him when he needs to go, he gets fed 2 times a day and a walk everyday. I feed my grandparents dog twice a day and I give her meds 3 times a day.

“Emily was flexible with my requests. Even though I booked the wrong time initially. Super easy to communicate with everything went perfectly”


About: Hello, I am Ally and I'm excited to host your dog! 🐾 Please read everything before booking. 🐾 I do offer a complimentary meet and greet for new pets to ensure we are a good fit for each other! A little about me, I have had either a dog, cat or both for as long as I can remember. I am always the go-to pet sitter for friends and family and have been enjoying Rover for over 2 years. My husband and I have a roughly 6 year old male Border Collie, Chance. Chance started as foster but we decided we couldn't let him go. We recently welcomed a new kitten into our family, Lucy. I am a nurse and work Tuesday-Friday at a clinic close to home. I am generally gone about 9 hours for work. My husband comes home daily at 1230 to have lunch and let the dogs out. He works half days on Fridays as well. 🐾🐾 I try to take dogs from one household in my care at a time to ensure that I am able to provide a safe place for your pup with all the love and support they need while you are away. I do hold the right to make exceptions to this if needed. Additionally, we are unable to accommodate dogs much larger than 50 pounds. I have a fully fenced yard (4ft chain link) of about 0.3 acre so there is plenty of room for zoomies. Chance has been well socialized with many different dogs and be more than happy to keep your doggo entertained. We are also able to play throughout the day or take walks as needed. If your dog needs to be crated, we do have 2 large crates. We only crate with your direction. We understand some dogs feel more comfortable in their own crate so you are also free to bring your own. I look forward to looking after your pups while you enjoy your much deserved time away. P.s. tell your dog I said Hi 👋 ☺️

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. I currently have 4 amazing dogs of my own, I foster and volunteer for a local rescue so I have worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments and needs. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, long walks, play time, or calm companionship, I’m here to give your dog all the care, love and attention they deserve while you are away. I believe in treating every dog like my own-with patience, kindness and fun. I provide regular updates and photos, so you'll never have to wonder how your dog is doing. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in, or an overnight stay, I'll make sure your pup is safe, comfortable, and happy. Let's set up a meet & greet-l'd love to meet you and your furry best friend! I currently work full time so am available any day after 3 to bring your pup for a walk, feed them or bring them to my house to play with my dogs. I can make any night work for overnight care. I live in a dog-loving home with a secure, dog-friendly environment. My own dogs are well-socialized and friendly, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I am also available to come to your home to take care of your dog if preferred.

“Megan took care of Annie, our 12 year old vizsla (dog) for 2 weeks during our winter vacation in February 2025. She is so kind and loving and is a wonderful caregiver. Annie takes 4 medications three times per day and Megan never missed a dose. Annie eats special food twice per day. Megan fed Annie on time every day. Megan would take the dog out and throw the ball to her anytime Annie acted anxious or nervous and that calmed her down. I will always hire Megan to care for our dog. You won’t find a better pet sitter than Megan. She is trustworthy and our house was spotless when we returned.”

We know Bella is being loved and cared for when we are away when she is with Ally.”
