“The best part of my 12-16hr work day is getting photo’s & video’s from Jocelyn! It makes my day. Oh my gosh she takes exceptional care of her! She is punctual & completely professional! Molly loves her walkies with her!!!!!!!!”


“Jodi has been walking our dog for close to a year now. She is very dedicated and genuinely cares for our dog. Earlier this week Jodi came to our house and saw that our dog got into some Christmas chocolate. Concerned she called me right away. I came home soon after and Jodi was kind enough to volunteer to stay with our dog until I arrived. The amount of chocolate was substantial (9 ounces) and our dog required hospitalization. Our dog has recovered from this perilous incident and Jodi's fast action greatly contributed to our dog making a full recovery.”


“Heather was awesome from the meet & greet through booking! She was flexible when we modified our booking, checked in prior to, and kept us informed during and after visit. Highly recommend!”


“So very thankful to have found Alyson. She is the sweetest, is very knowledgeable about dogs, and is just a pleasure to interact with. Our dog can be apprehensive around new people, but warmed up immediately to Alyson upon meeting. Can’t imagine trusting our dog and our home with anyone else.”


“Jennifer did a great job with our 15 year old cockapoo. She was excellent at communicating, timely with drop-in visits and sent the best pictures of any Rover sitter we’ve ever had, both in quality and quantity. We would gladly use her again.”


About: Hello! My name is Emily, and I'm a pet sitter with a passion for animals of all shapes and sizes. I have been caring for pets for several years, and I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for your furry friends while you're away. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I always treat them with the respect and care they deserve. I am reliable, responsible, and always go the extra mile to ensure that your pet is happy and healthy while in my care. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your fur baby! I am a Registered Nurse who works night shift three days a week so I am pretty flexible with my schedule. I'm sure we will be able to work out a time for both of us. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I am comfortable administering medications, following special dietary requirements, and handling any other specific needs your pet may have. I am dedicated to providing the highest level of care for your pet and ensuring that they receive the love and attention they deserve while you're away.

“Nicole has been walking our dog Gracie for about six months now. She always takes her on long walks which Gracie really appreciates. Whenever Nicole walks her when I come back in the evening Gracie is always more tired than on days when Nicole doesn’t come by. She takes great pictures and when I’ve been at the house when Nicole comes by Gracie always responds very loving towards her. They have a special bond and it eases my worries about my dog on the days when Nicole is scheduled as I know that will be a special day for Gracie. I highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve fostered 11 dogs in my adult life in addition to owning two of my own. I’ve had up to 5 dogs living with me at a time and am one to embrace the chaos! Whether I’m staying with your dog overnight or just dropping by for a visit with them, I can help with potty training, socialization, and even teaching your dog basic commands like sit, down, and stay. My 5 year old mutt is a Canine Good Citizen so I know a little about best practices with training. I’m a firm believer in science backed, positive reinforcement only methods so your dog will never be yelled at, dominated, or made fearful under my care. If I’m walking your dog I’m not intimidated by poor leash manners and am happy to help work on them during our walks! No matter your needs, I’m here to help! I work from home 4 days a week, only going to the office on Thursdays. I’m available to help out anytime I’m not in the office. If your dog can be left alone on Thursdays from 8am-4:30pm I’m even available to help on Thursdays. I have two dogs who love other dogs in my home who would be available to help with socializing your dog. I’m a big believer in science based, positive reinforcement training only. Your dog will never be yelled at, dominated, or made fearful when under my care. My 5 year old mutt is very confident and great with showing other dogs (specifically puppies) the ropes.

“Kayla was a superhero not only taking care of our new dogs but also our emergency foster on short notice! Two puppies are definitely a handful but she was so great with them! Thank you so much!”


About: I have always loved animals since I was a kid. Once I was 12 I started bathing and grooming dogs, which then lead me to watch animals overnight. The longest I have taken care of pets was a two week long period. I am very responsible, timely, and have a dog of my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, and even some training experience as well. I am currently a part time worker, and full time college student with mostly online classes. I am available to do mostly everyday of the week as long as I am known in advance. I believe animals will treat us just as we treat them or better. My dog is my best friend (we even have matching pjs). I understand the deep love people have for their pets and I respect and plan to love and care for their pets just as much. I am gentle, patient, and understand animal language very well.

“We are beyond happy with Courtney. this was first time I felt at ease on vacation cuz we had a perfect person to look after our fuzzy Kitty Cats ,Courtney was absolutely amazing she treated Mr Putty and Mr Bruce like her own pets they got so much love and attention from her we are very appreciative and happy with her ! Thank you Courtney”


About: I love dogs and they seem to love me, too. I have cared for dogs of all ages and ability, including energetic puppies and gentle seniors. I'm attentive, patient, and comfortable with administering medications. I pay special attention to senior dogs with mobility issues. If you're currently training a puppy, I'm happy to reinforce the commands and techniques you're using. I will follow your lead to help support your pup's progress during our time together. I currently work part time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate your pet's walking routine with ease. This flexibility ensures I can provide consistent, timely care tailored to your dog's needs. Although I'm currently only offering walking services, I have experience caring for dogs both in my home and in clients' homes. I'm always careful to ensure dogs are securely leashed before going outside for walks or bathroom breaks. For senior dogs, I take extra precautions like blocking steps to prevent falls and administering medications on time. During walks, I carry water and check pavement temperature to protect their paws. Above all, my top priority is the safety, comfort, and well-being of every dog in my care.

“Symantha went above and beyond ! She went out of her way to make our pets “staycation” a happy time for them Her daily visits to check on their needs was just what we wanted for them and they didn’t leave the comfort of our home. I hope Symantha is still offering this service the next time we go away (which isn’t very often) but I will reach out to her first when we do!”


“Sarah had our kittens’ hearts and minds from the moment she walked in the door and said hello to them! We were in a situation where we had to leave our two 9 month old kittens with a sitter for the first time ever and we hit the jackpot with Sarah. She took care of them as if they were her own, sending us a report card and photos from each visit, which left us very much at ease. She also administered a medication twice a day while we were gone. She is definitely our first choice for future cat sitting needs and we highly recommend her to anyone else who needs a responsible and effective cat sitter.”


About: Ive had dogs from puppies to seniors my whole life! I understand the differences in care from pup to senior pups and I am ready to follow your instructions to a T! I can bathe and brush your pups, take them for walks and play as much as they like. Even if you just need me to stop by and take them out to go potty I’m your girl! I currently work full time at the hospital and am doing this not only because I love animals but because all the money I earn will be going towards my wedding in September! My pets come first in my life and if my schedule is open then so will yours! I have 3 cats at home, a 10 gallon tank with guppies and a dwarf frog and I just added on a 40 gallon tank with 3 hermit crabs and we are adding a bearded dragon to the family soon too. I not only work with cats and dogs I’m also available for exotics as well. Unless they are fish, crustaceans or amphibians, I cannot take cats or dogs overnight due to my animals. But I am available to offer drop ins where I will feed, water, pet, play with, and walk your animals if needed! I can bathe them too if that’s what you may need. Let me know what I can do to help you and I will be happy to work it out!

During my time away, I received daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I returned, my pets were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It was like they had their own little vacation! I would absolutely recommend Meara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I can’t wait to have her watch my cats again in August!”
