“I think it’s safe to say that my cat loved staying with Allan. First sitter where he came home and didn’t hide or was skittish right after. He was relaxed, as if I didn’t stress him out by sending him away. Allan also gave regular updates and lots of photos. I would definitely trust him with Ubba again!”
“Zurijanne is so amazing! I am so blessed to have found someone with such a wonderful home to look after my fur baby! I highly recommend her if your sweet playful puppo needs a wonderful home of friends to play with!”
“She was very flexible and worked with me. I feel very comfortable with my dog in her hands, and she did good with picture updates. 😊 Will definitely recommend her and utilize her services again.”
“Breanna and Clay treated Izzie like family! They sent lots of pictures and videos. I could tell from her demeanor that she was comfortable and content.”
“Kaitlin provided excellent care for our dog while we were on our 2 week vacation. Responded quickly to our text messages with updates on how our dog was doing in her home. This was first time using Rover and highly satisfied. Will definitely use Kaitlen again if available next vacation.”
“I can't recommend Paige enough as a dog watcher! She took exceptional care of my two dogs for a week, and I could tell they were in great hands from the moment I met her. She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and loving, which gave me peace of mind during my time away. She kept me updated with daily photos and texts, showing me how my dogs were doing and even sharing some funny moments. She took the time to learn their routines, ensuring they felt comfortable and at ease. Both dogs were happy and healthy when I returned, and it was clear they had enjoyed their time with her.”
“Stephanie was wonderful! Daily communication, pics and videos! Ziggy was at ease with her and her fur babies. He was a rescue that was dropped off at the shelter when his owner died with no info about him 3 years ago. I didn’t want to kennel him, as they believe he is around 13 years old now. He is kind of set in his ways but plays and acts like a pup. Stephanie was up to the task of a very active dog with high energy! lol he gave her and her boyfriend kisses which is not like him. He was at ease with her at all time as I could see with the videos. She made my worries melt away since we have never left him anywhere for a week. I would whole heartly recommend her!”
“Penny was fantastic with my pup! It was such a gift to find her and know he was in good hands when we were out of town. My puppy is a challenging, high energy guy, who could not stay just anywhere. Penny has so much knowledge and provided an enriching environment for him with new experiences. She even spent time training him, including new cues like having him lay down on his bed. I received daily updates and photos from Penny and will surely use her again if needed!!”
“Ashley was awesome! Our dogs were very comfortable and she even provided photo/video updates throughout their stay. She treated them like family and we'll definitely use Ashley's services again!”
“We were absolutely thrilled with the care that scooby received! We got updates throughout the night and he was such a happy boy! We will be returning when need be and scooby made a lifelong friend ? thank you sandy!”
“Autumn did an awesome job watching my dogs! Very responsive and willing to negotiate my weird schedule at the last minute. She took some adorable pictures and her daughters were very friendly and gave the dogs lots of love and attention! Would definitely recommend.”
“We are so glad we chose LaTonya to care for our Molly! She sent lots of pictures and kept us in the loop with how Molly was doing. We are grateful for her caring for our pup and would recommend her highly!”
“Cindie is very attentive and detail-oriented, and she made sure we were 100% comfortable about leaving our puppy with her for the weekend. She also was kind enough to send us updates and photos while we were away, which was a really nice touch! I definitely recommend her as a dog-sitter!”
“Kimberly was amazing!! My pups had a good weekend staying with her. She kept me updated and I felt secure with leaving my babies in her care. Will definitely use her again! Thank you again!”
About: Hi, I’m Raegan! I’m an experienced and dependable pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with both cats and dogs. I’ve cared for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I always tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s daily walks, quiet companionship, medication support, or lots of playtime. At home, I share my space with two cats, so I understand the importance of creating a calm and comfortable environment—especially for pets who may be shy, anxious, or sensitive to routine changes. I also have experience with high-energy dogs who love to stay active and engaged. I work full-time in social services and bring the same calm, patient, and attentive approach to every pet I care for. You can expect reliable communication, timely updates, and thoughtful care that treats your pets like the valued family members they are. I have a flexible schedule outside of my full-time job, which allows me to offer morning, evening, and weekend visits depending on your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize consistency, comfort, and communication. I always follow the pet’s established routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, or medication. I take time to build trust with each animal, moving at their pace and paying close attention to their body language and behavior.
About: I treat your dog like my own, with plenty of love and play. I’m reliable, keep you in the loop, and know how to keep your pup safe and happy while your away. I watched my cousin’s dog for a weekend. We went on walks and I gave lots of belly rubs. I work part-time on weekends but have the whole beginning of the week free to give your furry friends all the care and love they deserve. Sun-Wed and some Friday’s consider me available for your pups needs of care. In my home, I offer a safe, loving environment with regular play and care tailored to each pet’s routine. At your home, I follow your pet’s schedule closely to keep them comfortable and secure while providing plenty of attention.
