About: I've loved animals my whole life. I've raised puppies and cared for senior dogs and everything in-between. I enjoy volunteering as a pet transporter for animal rescues. I own my own cleaning business. So pet sitting fits into my schedule perfectly. Some homes I clean and pet sit for as well. I love what I do. I have 5 senior cats so I prefer to care for pets in their own homes. I'm always working in different towns so this works best for me. I am trustworthy and have references.

About: I have a great deal of experience caring for animals. I have a special passion for animals with special needs or chronic illness. I am able to administer pills, liquids and injections. I currently work a a veterinary clinic in town. I am available for weekend house sitting/ pet sitting. During the week I can be available mornings mid day and evenings to let pets out and spend time with them. I think it is very important to not only take care of a pets basic needs but also their emotional needs. I think a little extra time spent petting or playing with a pet can make a huge difference in a pets happiness

“Allison was terrific. She sent pictures everyday, gave them food, water, and affection. She cleaned up after them and provided me with peace of mind. I would recommend her and Rover. I will using Rover and Allison again.”


About: I connect deeply with animals. It brings me joy to protect their health/safety and to ensure they feel loved and engaged. Additionally, I have gone through the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Training with my adopted sweet baby angel Mali. I work for myself part-time as a handylady and do furniture restoration. I also work for a local nonprofit that creates household items and furniture out of bamboo. My schedule is flexible in order to meet the needs of you and your pets :)) At your home, I will be hyper aware of environmental dangers. I am well-versed in how to create and maintain a healthy and safe environment for animals.


“Vanessa took such good care of my kitten!! She sent photos and videos all day. He’s 3 weeks old and still needs to be little fed, which can be a daunting task, but she mastered it! Even sending updates after each feeding, letting me know how he did. Will definitely be a repeat client!!”


About: I would humbly refrain from making the statement that I am better than my counterparts, as that is not for me to judge. I will say that I am an incredibly caring and empathetic individual, and that translates well to how I operate animals as well as people. I grew up with dogs and cats inside of my home, and I was always very attentive to them in terms of playing, petting, feeding, and making them feel cared for. My experience as a sitter only spans about a year altogether, but as a mother of human children, I understand the responsibility that comes with monitoring and caring for any member of someone else’s family. Animals are never excluded in that💙 I have two children, one of which is in daycare and the other in grade school. During the summer months, my availability would be from 7AM to 5PM, as I’d have to pick my youngest up from daycare by 5:30PM. From August to May, my availability would be 7:30AM - 5PM, as this would grant me time to drop my oldest off to school before beginning a day’s work. At the moment, I can only offer care in the home of clients, as my landlord does not allow pets to be present on the premises. Having said this, I am flexible in the number of services I am willing to offer in the home of clients. I want each individual to feel confident in the care their pet is receiving while they are away. I will do what I can to ensure this is the case 💙

I have a 60lbs husky and a 8lbs chiweenie who get along great and loves cats. I do offer nail trims and baths as well. I am very good at nail trims. Many people have relied on me to care for their animals. I have worked in professional places that do both animal care and boarding. I know the signs to look out for if needed. I have been medicating dogs and cats for the past three years. If any emergency was to rise then I know exactly where both emergency clinics are.

I’ll let you know how they are doing everyday, you’ll get a picture of them so you’ll be able to see for yourself that they’re having a blast. I work Monday- Friday 8-5. I get a lunch break from 12-1, and go home to let my dogs out to potty and get a little exercise before heading back to work for 1:30. I get off at 5 and go home and take care of my pets. I feed them all and of course let them out to go potty and get some exercise. I am off on the weekends, and I stay at home so it wouldn’t no problem to have a few fur babies over. I don’t have a new fence quite yet but I do walk the dogs frequently and let them play together inside and outside ,I have two dogs, two husky mixes who loves to play with other doggie.
