“Joanna was great with our puppy! She gave her lots of walks, playtime, and kept great company. We had lots of updates with pictures and video to know how our dog was doing, and we were always able to reach out to her. Highly recommended!”
“This is the second time Sarah has pet sat for us, and both times she took great care of our dog and our cat, and left our house immaculate. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Coleen is the best sitter in the business. She always gives us the peace of mind we need to enjoy our time away, and has never once let us down. She handles all our pets medications with ease. She takes such great care of our ederly pup, as well as our skiddish cat. Do yourself the favor and book Coleen.”
“Loren made our first experience with Rover a great one! She was punctual, responsive, and very respectful throughout the entire stay. We really appreciated the photo updates during house sitting, and she took such wonderful care of Odie. We’re so glad we booked with her—thank you so much, Loren! Hope to see you again soon!”
“Emma took such great care of our Bertie girl! We got updates, pictures and videos during our vacation, and our doggy was so well taken care of while we were away. Thank you Emma!”
“This was my 1st time leaving my dog for a long weekend and I couldn’t have chosen a better caregiver for him. My Murphy is a rescue & has some anxiety issues but Jo handled him with patience, understanding and love. She tapped in to her knowledge of dogs and put both myself & Murphy at ease. She tried a few new toys/treats with him which he loved and sent me plenty of pics and videos of Murphy throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again.”
“Tanisa was very communicative and kept us updated and sent lots of pics, which was especially appreciated when one of our dogs was more nervous than usual while we were gone.”
About: Hi! My name is heather and I am a total dog and cat lover! No matter the breed, age or quirky personalities I love them all. I used to volunteer at a shelter in Iowa where I spent most of my time keeping the immuno-compromised cats and dogs company as they had to be isolated from the others in the shelter. Since then, I’ve trained my own dogs to be potty trained outside and be comfortable riding in cars. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 10 years. The longest I’ve cat sat was for 10 days and left a personal “journal” for the owners from the cats point of view. The longest I’ve dog sat was 7 days. I love walking dogs, The longer the walk the better so when mom and dad come home they are ready for all the cuddles. I'm bubbly and have been told I'm "high energy" so I love to play with animals but also know when it's time to just relax and be couch potatoes while watching Animal Planet. I've taken care of special needs dogs who are leash aggressive, I've worked with senior dogs who move a little more leisurely and I've worked with puppies - helping them get acclimated to walking with a leash and harness. I’m working full time as a physical therapist but am available to care for your loved furry friend Wednesdays and Fridays after 2:30. I am available Sundays after 1pm. I have a fenced back yard and my little guy loves to run around and chase leaves. Loves to sniff every twig. For my past clients I take their dogs for long walks in their neighborhood, sometimes run with them on lease if they have a ton of energy. I have the animal earn my trust first, put my hands out to sniff, allow them to approach me as I am a guest in their home. I love to lay on the floor with them, let them know I am a trusted friend.
“Diane is incredibly thoughtful, conscientious, and kind. We have 2 dogs and 3 cats that all have particular needs, and she took the time to learn about navigating these "waters" with such consideration and professionalism. She exudes positive energy and prioritizes creating a trusting relationship with each of them, and the humans. She keeps us informed leading up to her stay, during her time with them, and after leaving. We are so grateful to work with Diane, and having our little fuzzy monsters in her care is a such a relief when we are away from home!”
“Stephanie is truly exceptional. This was our first time entrusting all four of our pets and our home to someone else, and she exceeded every expectation. From the very first interaction through the entire stay, she was consistently available, highly responsive, and incredibly thorough with her updates. What impressed us most was how quickly our pets felt at ease—something that speaks volumes about her care, attention, and natural connection with animals. She earned not only their trust, but ours as well. Stephanie delivers a level of professionalism and peace of mind that is simply outstanding. We cannot recommend her highly enough, and we will absolutely check her availability before planning any future trips.”
“I was thrilled! My dogs got more attention than I ever could’ve asked for. Usually when I come home from being away, they are depressed and sullen. Dogs were in such good spirits!”
About: I have experience with many types of animals, including my own. I have volunteered at standard animal shelters and even horse rescues.

Since I am an online nursing student, I have a completely flexible schedule. You tell me when you need me! I am available weekdays, weekends, and weeknights. I am great with medication management as well as making sure your pet has adequate play time outside their traditional routines. I am also good at following directions on how you want your pet's day to look.
“Liz was great, she was really good with communication and photos. My dogs were calm and in good spirits when I got home, and the house looked great. I’d highly recommend Liz as a Dogsitter.”
“Dylan was amazing with our Dobermans Storm and Damen!!! He stayed with them in our home and not only was he great with them and they loved him. Thank you and we will definitely be reaching out to Dylan again!!!”
“Camille is the best! She’s dog sat for our senior dog Rex a few times and it’s always good to know he’s well taken care of. She made him homemade treats, sends daily updates and photos and goes out of her way to be accommodating about drop off/pick up times. Would definitely recommend Camille if you’re looking for a caring , easygoing person to care for your dog!”

Chris is a true gem!!! I fully recommend him to anyone and everyone. Chris watched my 2 cats and dog for our 10 day trip. I received multiple photos every day as well as a daily recap on the happenings of the house. Chris is an excellent communicator and went above and beyond!!!
Veronica was an amazing sitter for my two dogs while the family and I were on a summer vacation. My puppy Shadow is new to me and gets into EVERYTHING. She has to be crated or monitored 24/7. Veronica paid great attention to her and communicated any unavoidable incidents promptly. Upon returning home, Shadow is calmer and more responsive to commands—better now than when I left thanks to Veronica. My special needs pitty had no new scrapes and was able to sleep in bed with her each night making the transition nearly seamless. Veronica administered medication for soft poops/diarrhea that started in BOTH dogs the day before we left and had to complaints making the puppy’s complicated fresh food dinner. We will absolutely be using Veronica in the near future for any sitting walking or boarding needs, we are all lucky to have met her :)
A wonderful house and cat sitter! We were worried about our 6/7 week old kitten but Eren was able to help care for our kitten. We came back to a clean litter box and a happy cat! She even helped with her claws and was careful with her, and we are so grateful both our home and cat were safe with her. Highly recommend!
Emilee was awesome. She's super professional, and very warm and friendly and the cats were definitely pampered. She sent me several cute photos of the cats during her stay and when I got home they were so chill and the house was immaculate. I would highly recommend her.
Danielle was fantastic and took wonderful care of my two big dogs. She was able to fill in at short notice and kept us updated the entire time. She is punctual, thorough with care instructions, and kept the house in great shape. Will definitely re-book in the future!
Alexandra was the perfect match for our dog. He can have pretty bad separation anxiety, but I didn’t have to worry about him with Alexandra. She stayed with him an entire week and was very patient and understanding. She was super punctual, professional, and communicative. She sent me frequent pictures and texts and always responding quickly to messages. We came home to a happy and calm pup and a clean house! Would highly recommend her!
