Pet Sitting Palmer

“Rebeccah was amazing!! It is so hard for me to get away because I have a large crew of 5 cats with various personalities, but she embraced each one. She was better than me at getting them to take their medicine! And everyday she updated me on everything so I had no worries! 10/10 I'd trust her with my furbabies anytime!!”

“Crystal was great! Took amazing care of my little Sasha while we were on a trip. We have worked with Crystal before and are super happy with the care she provides. She will take great care of your pets. Thank you for being a wonderful sitter for Sasha!”

“We are very dedicated to ensuring our cats are well cared for, and Jasmine did a great job with drop-in visits! Frequent communication, great pictures, and open to asking for clarification when needed. Even our cat who's anxious with strangers seemed to settle into a comfortable routine. +++”

“April was amazing with Zoë! She provided updates throughout the day and Zoë had an amazing time. I look forward to working with April again in the future.”

“This was my first time using Rover or someone I didn’t know to take care of my cat. I was very nervous. Megan was excellent. She was available at very short notice & did a great job with a very fussy cat. I will definitely look to her again should I need someone to look after my girl. She even went through some extreme weather to make sure my pet was fed. She was dedicated.”

About: Special Education Teacher with a love of animals. Patient, kind, understanding, flexible. Originally from Chicago, from cats, to squirrels, to dogs, to hummingbirds, to bunnies, to bearded dragons, I have the heart for sending animals in need to a rescue center, and/or homing. Animals deserve love and care, no matter their personality. I strive to respect you as a pet parent and your baby, following owner directions and askings. Just like my students, I treat every animal as if they are my own. Safety is my top priority, as well as communication and transparency. Currently open for the Thanksgiving week and weekend because of being a teacher. After Dec 1 I will be available before 6:30am, evenings, and weekends. I have a degree in general and special education and am very patient with animals and like to know everything the owner can tell me, and respect the animal. Having an antisocial pet with trauma, I respect her and love her as much as my others because she deserves it. I am very careful and take care of animals as if they were my own, just like I do with the children in my classroom.

“Ashley did a great job taking care of our furry friends. She communicated well before and during the week we were gone. Highly recommended.”

“Timothy is very prompt, patient, and thorough with his drop in visits. Showed up on time and made sure to hit all his items on the punch list I gave him. My dog can be very excitable and he was very patient with her. I was very worried about leaving my babygirl with a stranger and he put all my worries at ease. I will definitely be using Timothy in the future.”

About: I’m an adult who is passionate about providing dependable, loving care for animals of all ages while their owners are away. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets who may need extra patience, attention, slower walks, medication routines, or simply more companionship. I respect each pet’s individual personality and routine and want owners to feel completely comfortable knowing their animals and home are in caring, responsible hands. My pet-care schedule is flexible and built around my clients’ needs. I intentionally plan my week around bookings, allowing me to accommodate daytime visits, walks, overnight stays, weekends, and extended care. I enjoy making pet care a priority rather than trying to squeeze it into a busy schedule. I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable with their familiar surroundings and routine. I carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions and give each pet the individual attention they need. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home, with communication and updates while you’re away.

“Najah was great! Very attentive to my pets and very communicative! Went above and beyond.”

Every dog is different, so I take the time to understand what works best for each individual dog. 🦮 Dog Walking I have 11+ years of experience walking and caring for dogs, along with my extensive veterinary background.

About: Hi, I’m Ruth & thanks for checking out my profile! ​If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets with the same love and attention they're used to then you’ve come to the right place. Having previously hosted dogs in my home, my goal has always been to provide a true “home away from home” experience. Now, I bring that exact same touch right to your doorstep through drop ins and dog walks. My kids are now school age, so I have open availability during school hours for mid day walks and drop in visits! I can easily fit your babies routine into my daily schedule for reliable care while you are at work or away. I prioritize pet safety and peace of mind by following your home's rules and care instructions. During drop ins and walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, double check that doors and gates are locked and make sure fresh water is always available. I pay close attention to pet body language to ensure they are comfortable and happy throughout my visit.

“We were very pleased with how Sabrina showed great patience with our pets. She communicated very well throughout the entire visit 👏 with text and pictures. Thanks Sabrina 😊. We hope you will be available in the near future because of your professionalism.”

“Leanne was great with our 2 cats. I was able to text her while I was away, & that allowed me to enjoy my trip more because I knew the cats were being taken care of. The cats really loved her; our shy one came right up to her! She even gave them treats & brought in our mail. Great job!!”

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog mom for 6 years and have experience caring for dogs through all kinds of situations — from energetic puppy stages to recovery days that require extra patience, comfort, and attention. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I’ll care for them like family. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. My days naturally revolve around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, outdoor time, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, relaxing together, or giving extra attention when they need comfort and patience. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication instructions if needed, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping things clean, secure, and providing updates so they can feel at ease while they’re away.
