“Michelle took such wonderful care of our dog and cat while we were away on Christmas week. She took our high energy dog to the dog park to play, communicate regularly and was kind to our pets. We would gladly book Michelle again in the future.”

“We had a great experience with Emma caring for Midnight over the past week. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly very caring with him. During the first few days, she checked in and asked thoughtful questions to make sure everything was going well, which we really appreciated. It gave us real peace of mind to know he was in good hands while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and a house that was well looked after too. We’re very grateful and would gladly have her stay with Midnight again.”

About: I bring years of hands-on animal care experience from veterinary clinics, kennels, and long-term pet sitting, including special-needs care for a senior dog who requires diapers, hourly potty breaks, medication management, and a strict diet. My background in veterinary support and my 5-year commitment to caring for three dogs from one family means I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and fully comfortable supporting pets with complex routines. I treat every animal with patience, confidence, and genuine love, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because, with school wrapping up, I have plenty of time to focus on consistent, reliable visits. I plan my days around each pet’s needs, keeping feeding, walks, and medications on schedule while balancing a few prior commitments on set days. For the most part, I’m available daily, which allows me to offer flexible booking, dependable check-ins, and attentive pet-focused care that never feels rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly, keeping feeding, meds, and potty schedules consistent while maintaining a calm, clean environment. I provide gentle companionship, monitor behavior and health closely, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and reassured. My goal is to respect the home, reduce stress, and ensure every pet feels safe and understood.
“Kimberly was great with my Lab Mix. She sent updates from their walks, and remembered specific details about Leroy and his habits. She also got him to walk with a harness, which I had not been able to do.”

“Carli took amazing care of our dogs and cat. She was very flexible with us given the somewhat short notice of our request, very good at staying in touch, and sent plenty of pictures of the kids! They loved having her over to keep them company. We would happily recommend her services and will definitely be coming to her first in the future!”

About: I've taken care of my personal dogs and my cats over the years since I was 10. I've also cared for family pets, including babysitting, bathing, feeding, and caring for them. Ive even groomed my own dog. I do everything! I am currently on break, so I have loads of free time for your pet pals. They will be my top priority when they are in my care! Walks and sitting are enjoyable with me, I can train and easily keep it fun with your pet pals. I bathe, groom, and do so much more amongst other things!

“Jen is the perfect pal for your pups! She stayed at our home overnight and gave both our dogs lots of snuggles and walks. She even made homemade treats for them. Jen tidied up our home and washed the bedding where she stayed. Her communication is superb- if you like a lot of updates and pics, look no further!”

“Kylie was amazing, checked in every day, suffered through a storm with my big, wimp of a beast dog and my house was spotless when I got home. Highly recommended, but I’d like to save her for myself.”

“Heather is the kindest petsitter we have ever had! She took such great care of our large pups and our house! She left everything so clean and we could tell our dogs were very well loved. Thank you Heather!!”

“Kortney followed our instructions and sent us updates as requested. I felt comfortable leaving my cats with her and I’m sure they loved her! I would definitely use her services again when needed”

“Marissa was a great sitter for our Kai dog. She sent pictures daily and Kai ate great with her. The house was clean when we returned and Kai was well taken care of. We’d be happy to have her sit for us again :)”
About: While most of my pet care experience has been with cats, I have also spent time caring for dogs belonging to friends and family. I enjoy spending time with dogs, going on walks, playing, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I may not be a lifelong dog owner, but I am responsible, attentive, and committed to following each dog's routine and needs closely. Because I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Whether your pet needs a midday visit, a walk, or some extra company while you're away, I can often accommodate different schedules and provide attentive, reliable care. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At this time, I am unable to host pets in my own home, but I am happy to care for them in their familiar environment. I will carefully follow any instructions and safety guidelines you provide, including feeding routines, medications, walking preferences, and household rules, to ensure your pet feels secure, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
“We found Lorri on Rover while looking for a new sitter after moving from out of state. Our two dogs were especially sensitive after changing homes and routines, and we can’t believe the strides they made while in her care! She sent thoughtful detailed daily updates with pictures and let us know about all the “wins” she was celebrating with our very anxious pup, Pepper. It’s clear she is a natural with animals and is so patient and compassionate with them. Our house was well taken care of and I could tell our dogs were her priority while we were away—could not have asked for anything more. Will absolutely book Lorri again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Zoey took great care of our < 6 month puppy & 9 year old for a long weekend. She closely followed our preferred schedule, gave the pups plenty of attention, sent thorough updates and was very professional. It's clear she had a good rapport with them and we would definitely recommend her to others!”
