“Katelyn walks my dog weekly and also stayed overnight last minute. My dog is a bit needy and Katelyn responds so patiently to her! She sends pictures during her visit and is so kind. Leave your pets with her if you’re usually nervous about leaving them with other people like I am!!”
“We haven't used a pet service before, so my expectations were mixed. Other people who accepted the job canceled at the last minute, and I reached out to Mandy. She was kind, professional and my animals took to her quickly. We have an elderly dog who got himself in a jam going down into our basement without the ability to get back up. Mandy CARRIED him--a 55lb save of potatoes--up the stairs! When I say I would recommend her to everyone, I mean it. She was a lovely person and even left treats for the pups AND the humans. 15/10 so many 🌟”
“Jess was amazing! She was very communicative the entire time and even sent pictures with updates. She was great with my pup and even stayed to play with her for a little bit, and ensure my dog had some food and water before leaving. Will definitely be booking with Jess again in the future!”
“Susan has been providing daily drop-in visits since 1/2019. She keeps my 75lb pit/lab active with outdoor play. Susan is loving, loyal & patient. The pics provided with the Rover Card are awesome! I'm thankful to have found Susan.”
“I couldn't be happier with Serenity's care for my dog! She was attentive, reliable, and treated my pup like her own. It was clear she has a natural love for animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in her care. Serenity sent regular updates, which made the experience even better. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Sheri is the best, our dog howls when she comes and she does that howl of love for very few. We never worry about Marley when she is coming. We are so blessed to have gotten connected with her.”
“Ginger was great to work with and took wonderful care of our two cats! She was prompt at sending photos and updating us about how our cats were during her visits. Their space was kept clean and managed by Ginger as well. Looking forward to working with her again!”
“Angelique was great! This was our first time leaving our pets with someone who wasn't family or friends, so we were nervous, but she did an amazing job! She even got my super skiddish cat to come out of hiding 😊 I would definitely recommend using Angelique!”
About: I have 3 small rescued dogs and they love other dogs and enjoy playmates. We have a doggie door that they can access the yard from 6 AM to 9 PM. The yard is secure and the fence is 4 feet high. Your dog will get played with, loved and spoiled in my care. I do not anticipate any problem with my daily or weekly routine. I would not accept an assignment if I knew I was too busy that week. Your pet comes first with me. Your fur baby will be in great hands. We love dogs, and our dogs are very friendly and enjoy other dogs. I never get tired of giving attention to any animal.
“Christina was an amazing and caring pet sitter. She took great care of my cat while I was away. She went above and beyond what I had originally asked to make sure that my pet was comfortable and well cared for!”
About: Hi! I have carried a passion for animals since I was little; and cared for dogs, cats, and critters since I was 10. I grew up volunteering at the local humane society. Inspired by my childhood dream to be a veterinarian, I always take special care to ensure every pet is loved and well-cared for, including those with special needs. I’m available every day of the week (and I accept same-day bookings), for overnight care at client house, walking, house visits, and drop-ins up to 3 times a day! No boarding at my place as of right now though, I’m very sorry!! I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving environment for every pet, whether in my home or yours. With years of experience handling animals of all temperaments, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs—ensuring they’re comfortable, secure, and happy. At your place, I follow your routines precisely, from medication administration to security checks. Safety is my top priority: I’m CPR certified, and have a strong understanding of animal behavior and body language so I’m always monitoring for any signs of stress or health issues. Your fur baby’s well-being comes first, customized to their personality and your preferences.
