“Jess was amazing with my 3 cats! I had never used Rover before due to always having my friend watch our cats when we go away but due to it being our wedding weekend, we didn't know what to do. Upon first meeting her, I was completely at ease. She was great with my shy cats, and the pics and updates I got were great! I will definitely be using her again!!!!”


“Shannon was great with drop in visits for our two pups. They can be a lot to handle and she did it easily! I got detailed updates and came home to happy healthy dogs. Highly recommend!”


“Pete is an Angel! My sitter canceled last minute due to Covid and I found Pete! My BLOO loves him and Pete is amazing with him. You can tell from the second you meet Pete that he loves dogs and he cares for mine as if Bloo was his own. Thank you Pete! ???”


About: Hi there! My name is Sharon and ever since I was little I have always been around a dog and have been watching dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs for many years! I promise that your dog will be in good hands with me! Now that my kids are older and I have more time in my schedule, I’m available just about whenever you or your dog need me! I’m available almost anytime, weekdays, weekends, doesn’t matter. I have a fenced in yard with room for your fur baby to explore. I also have an older bichon-poo who likes to meet new friends.

“Melissa was a pleasure to work with and took such great care of my elderly cat, Oliver! She followed all instructions perfectly and even took care of his medication. I felt very comfortable going away knowing she would be there. She provided great updates at every visit which helped me have peace of mind while away. I would definitely recommend Melissa and I am excited to work with her again!”


“Katherine was amazing! Super reliable, always on time, and followed all our instructions perfectly. She was so sweet with our dogs. She played with them, sent us updates and cute pics, and made us feel totally at ease. You can tell she really loves animals. Highly recommend!”


About: Hello! My name is Matt, and I’m a devoted dog owner and caretaker with a passion for providing a safe and loving environment for your furry friends. I have two adorable pups of my own—an affectionate 12-year-old toy poodle (the boss) and an energetic 4-year-old doodle. They are both well-socialized and love making new friends, so your dog will feel right at home in our household! I work from home full-time, so I’m always available to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. My home is equipped with a secure, fenced backyard where your dog can run, play, and explore in a safe environment. I understand that every dog is unique and has their own needs and routines. I’m committed to ensuring that your pet feels comfortable and happy while they’re with me. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or just lounging around, I’m here to provide the care and companionship your dog deserves. I look forward to meeting your furry friends and giving them a delightful experience while you are away! I work from home full-time which allows me ample time to care for your pup, including playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. Both of my pups are very friendly and love making new friends. I have a fenced yard, and two pups to keep your pet company. Both of my dogs are crate trained. I can provide a crate if need be for sleeping accommodations

“Can not thank Alba enough for taking such good care of our little guy! He’s still a puppy and needs a lot of patience and attention and she gave both in spades. Thanks for leaving a happy, sleepy puppy after your visit!”


“Kasper is the best! They took extra good care of my 3 kitties and followed all instructions left. They sent me tons of pictures and left detailed notes of each visit. I felt the my kitties were safe and in caring hands with Kasper. I also felt my house was safe and locked up properly each time. I will 100% be reaching out for Kasper’s services again in the future. - I can tell you truly care about animals and that’s very important to me in a petsitter. Thank you again for everything.”


“Thank you Karen for taking such great care of our kitties Ping and Ollie! Your punctuality, updates and pictures were very much appreciated. Your persistence in trying to get pics of my “skitty kitties” was awesome and certainly paid off 😊 If you’re looking for a friendly, highly reliable person who truly cares about your pets, and keeps you posted, look no further, Karen is your girl!!! Will definitely rebook when I need a sitter again. 🥰 A+++”


About: I live with a Great Dane and a Mini Pitcher/Chihuahua mix. I have walked my neighbors dogs when they were out of town and played with them in their yard for a while. I watched my neighbors cats for a while until they moved, this involved feeding, changing water, loving on them, and changing their litter boxes, also cleaning the occasional puke. I currently am unemployed and looking for something to do with my time so I am very flexible and open. I am willing to make things work for you. Having a big dog and a small dog I am very comfortable around dogs and understand that these are your children. Also having experiences with cats lets me know how to treat them as well. Walking the dogs especially in the summer can be tough because of the heat so if I think it’s to hot I will not walk your dog, but would love to reschedule a different time.

“Barbara was wonderful. She visited Pangur (aka Mama) even before we left for our vacation. She always communicated with us to ease our mind while we were away. I would highly recommend and use Barbara again. And our Mama loved her too!”


“Lisa was very accommodating when I had surgery and was unsure of the time I would need her until the day before. She was very communicative and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her in the future!”


About: I truly have compassion and care for all animals. I am willing to listen to your pet care needs and follow all your instructions to care for your pet as you would like. I grew up on a farm and have been around all types of animals all my life! I currently work full time, however I work from home some days out of the week. And my schedule is fortunately very flexible. I'm able to care to care for animals during early mornings before work, for lunch visits, after 5pm and almost always weekends or holidays. Pet safety is a high priority in my household. I keep my home clean and all cleaning chemicals are stored in cabinets out of my pets access. I have a large fenced safe backyard that my daughter's dog enjoys running around every time he visits.

“Dawn was amazing as always with my pup! She kept me well informed on both my kitty and my puppy while I was away and allowed me to have the peace of mind to focus on work. I will definitely choose her first over anyone else to watch my babies!”


“1st time using Laura - seemed genuinely interested in getting to know my dog Pickles, sent pictures and communicated before and after the visit to let me know how everything went. Will definitely be using Laura again when I need someone to care for my Pickles.”
