About: I have 30+ years of pet sitting experience in homes and shelters and am Fear Free trained and certified. Will provide trusted and compassionate care for your pets including exercise, enrichment, and walks, along with lots of cuddles. My sole job is pet sitting, so I am able to care for many pet families throughout the day. Of course, I am only able to schedule one overnight stay per day. Please contact me ASAP for my availability. I can do overnight stays in a pets home so that they feel more comfortable with the sit. I do have other pet sits throughout the day, but rest assured that I will be available for your pet throughout the day.

About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care – Tailored to Your Pet’s Needs! 🐾 Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for all kinds of pets—playful puppies, curious kittens, gentle seniors, and animals with disabilities or special needs. 🐶🐱💕 I previously worked at an animal shelter, which gave me extensive experience handling pets of all temperaments and situations. I’m extremely comfortable administering medications (oral, topical, and injections if needed) and I always make sure every animal gets the extra love and attention they deserve. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I always make time for your pets—stopping by during my hour lunch break for walks, potty breaks, feeding, or just some midday snuggles and care. When I’m off the clock, I’m available to be at your home as much as you'd like, and I frequently stay overnight to keep pets happy and stress-free in their own space. Best of all, I'm completely free on weekends, so I can dedicate my full attention to your furry family members all weekend long. Whether it’s for a quick check-in or a full weekend of love and care, I’m here to treat your pets like family—with compassion, patience, and a whole lot of tail wags and purrs. ❤️ Let’s chat and make sure your beloved companions get the care they deserve! I work full time Monday through Friday but I do have an hour lunch break where I can stop by and let animals out and feed them if needed. When I am not at work, I am available to be at your home as much as you would like me there. I frequently stay in peoples homes with their pets. I am off work on weekends so I can dedicate the entire weekend to your furry babies. I do not usually watch animals in my own home, other than cats who are not outdoor cats & are experienced & good with other cats, since I have two of my own. I prefer to watch animals in their own home, as it lessens the stress for the animal (and my cats! haha)
“Olivia was fantastic. She definitely deserves a five star review. She showed up when she was supposed to and stayed for the agreed amount of time. She took wonderful pictures of Otis. She used features that I didn’t know existed with Rover. She’s is on top of her game and I would definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for a few animals on multiple occasions. I can sit for cats and dogs at the same time. I love playing with animals and treat them like my own. I am full time college student but would be able to accommodate most pet sittings. I have a car and would easily be able to house sit! I spend lots of time with the animals I take care of. I can walk them, bathe them, play with them, and more! I have a pup of my own who is very loved. I also can do small household tasks such as cleaning, taking out trash, watering plants, and getting the mail.
“We needed someone to let the dog out for a potty break in the middle of the day. Paige was great at communicating; she answered my texts within minutes and came to our house for a meet and greet. She took took pictures every day. She even came during an ice storm. I would hire her again!”
About: I’ve been the primary caregiver for my family’s dogs (2–3 at a time) for over 8 years. I’ve also provided dog-sitting services for multi-dog households in my community, earning excellent reviews from happy pet parents! I’m available Monday through Friday after 5 p.m., and I’m completely free and flexible on weekends to give your pets the love and care they deserve! I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of loving pets and snuggles to keep your furry friends happy and cared for!
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have a good sense on how to read them and their comfort level. I enjoy all breeds and personalities when it comes to dogs and will meet them wherever they are at to ensure they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. As a pet parent who uses Rover, I know how important it is to know your pet is well taken care of while you're not there. I am also a volunteer dog walker at UPAWS and have learned a lot from the staff there on how to properly meet and interact with new dogs. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of free time to devote to taking care of your pet(s)! I spend a lot of my free time volunteering with various local organizations. I have a cat in my home, so I wouldn't be able to care for pets at my house, but I would take quality care of pets in their own home. I would follow whatever routine they normally have to try to reduce the stress of their people being gone.
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have been caring for them for over 25 years. I’m currently only doing house check ins and dog walking. I’m a runner so that is also an option if you have a pup that needs to let out a little more energy. I’m comfortable with all types of animals including but not limited to dogs, cats, reptiles, chickens, rabbits, and other farm animals. My availability is pretty open during the day! 🐕 🐈⬛🦎🐟🐏🦮🐓🦃🐇 I work afternoons so my availability is very open during the day. I live just outside of town, I’m usually in town around 9am and done for the day around 4pm. I’m comfortable doing a quick check in or spending some time socializing with your pet. Letting outside for a bit, walking, or running depending on your pet and preference. I have experience in administering medications as well.
About: Remote worker with flexible availability! Multiple years of experience dog walking/running/biking/hiking and always looking for a fur-ball adventure buddy to blow off some cold-weather energy with. Have experience with various breeds of various sizes with a spectrum of energy levels. Mindful, respectable, dependable and patient with both dogs and people. Willing to learn how to handle any dogs that require special attention or extra medical care. Please contact if any questions or just to say hello! I work full time remotely as an event coordinator for a snow-surf-skate non-profit so have tons of open availability to care for your beloved animals. Open to traveling further and staying for longer periods of time if needed. I can provide referrals from folks I have supported with their pups over the years. I always make sure to check-in and update daily and am very respectful of individual's needs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 11. I’ve been trusted with walking, feeding, bathing, as well as medication administration by family and friends. I work as a night shift nurse so my schedule can be a bit different, hectic, and sparse at times, but I’m still able and very much willing to give your dog the care, love, and attention they need and deserve! I can easily crate your dog if needed. I always check fences or fence gates before letting a dog outside. If dropping in for a house visit, I like to make sure the area is safe and secure - making sure your pup doesn’t get into anything they shouldn’t, such as trash bins, food on the counter, etc.
About: Growing up, there has always been dogs in my house. Currently, I own two Shih Tzus and have had a Teddy Bear in the past. I can administer some medications as well as participate in enrichment activities. I’m currently not working and I am a college student. I am open to caring for your animals anytime of the day. Feel free to reach out! I am very passionate about animals of all kinds. A meet and greet prior to the visit can always be done to confirm that we are a good match for each other!
About: I am a 30 year old college graduate and I have loved dogs my entire life. I was never allowed to have a dog growing up so I always asked my friends if I could hang out with their dogs whenever possible. I just honestly really love dogs and want to be able to hang out with as many as possible throughout my life. I interned at a Veterinary Clinic during my senior year of high school so I have become familiar with appropriate ways to administer medications, trim toe nails, and calm anxious pups. My availability is fairly flexible and I will always make time to take care of a pooch that needs it while their pet parents are away for whatever reason they have. My schedule can sometimes be unpredictable but I always do my best to communicate that with possible clients. Open communication is key for me to help you. If I’m in your home, I treat it like my own. I was raised to respect everyone and their belongings. Your pet’s safety is always my number one priority.

Sara T.
“There is truly no one like Sara. She cared for my senior Jack Russell, Mitchell Lee, like he was her own. Mitch was in his golden years, facing the challenges of epilepsy, anxiety, and chronic pain — and he needed not just care, but true compassion. From the very first moment, Sara showed up with an open heart and gentle hands. Mitch adored her. Sara was incredibly mindful on their walks, always attentive to his comfort and mobility. She navigated his transition into wearing diapers with patience and grace — not exactly an easy phase, but one she handled with so much love that Mitch adjusted in no time. There were even moments of hilarity — like the time Mitch tried to stow away in Sara’s suitcase, clearly hoping to tag along with her forever. That’s how much he loved her. Sara doesn’t just take care of your pet — she becomes their safe place. She’s also incredibly respectful and trustworthy with your home, keeps you updated with amazing photos and thoughtful messages, and brings peace of mind that’s impossible to overstate. If you’re looking for someone who’s calm, capable, and genuinely passionate about animals, Sara is the one. I truly couldn’t and wouldn’t recommend anyone else. She’s an absolute doll.”
