“My daughter’s service dog had major surgery on his CCL. We always have to be aware of his training so as not to do anything that would damage the bond between my daughter and him. He is sensitive due to his work / seizure alert, balance work, behavior disruption and deep pressure. Since he is 100 pounds, we needed help a couple of times a day. Wendy was amazing. She jumped in to help us get him safely out and back in his first week post surgery - she worked with him with gentleness and sensitivity. Wendy was always there on time. We really appreciated her help and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again. Thank you so much Wendy!”
“Julia was such a wonderful help with our two cats!! When I am away from them I want to make sure they are fully taken care of and she went above and beyond. Her communication was impeccable and her attention to detail was stellar! I hope to continue using her services when we are away as I had minimal anxiety about being away from my babies, I highly recommend booking with Julia for all your pet needs!”
“Kristen is awesome and very sweet. She is quick and effective with her communication, and you can tell she truly loves working with your pet. She’s my first sitter and my dog has really bad anxiety, but yet she was still able to trust Kristen when dropping in. 10 out of 10!”

About: I’ve cared for cats since I was 8 years old. My friends and family know me for helping wild animals whenever the opportunity arises. I have a senior cat now. As a result, friends often turn to me for tips on how to provide extraordinary quality of life to their pets. I’m about to venture into graduate school, and am seeking a part time job in the meantime. Rover will ideally be additional income for me. I provide stability and routine—two things I find extremely instrumental in pet care. I keep a strict feeding regimen, schedule play times, and provide various opportunity for enrichment.
“The care that Barbara provided to my kitties while I was out of town was exceptional. She sent daily updates and pictures, and gave some pets and cuddles to my little love bug, Twix. I would absolutely use Barbara’s services again in the future.”
“Normally after a long day away I'd come home to hyper dogs and at least one destroyed pillow. Well, they must have had a great time with Holli because all was calm at our house. The photos she sent of the pups were adorable and a great way to let us know she'd gotten in with no issues. Will absolutely be calling her again to play with the pups!”
“Alexis is amazing! My cat is normally very shy but he warmed up to her right away. Can’t say enough good things. She communicated with me very well, took great care of my cat, and my cat is now in love. I will definitely use her again!”
About: Hello, my name is Rylie! I am such a dog lover! Although I never owned one myself, I enjoy taking care of others to fill that void. I have been dog sitting since I was about 10 years old for multiple neighbors. Many would describe me as responsible and passionate since a very young age. I even attended many dog training classes for a puppy I babysat for two years. I am excited to continue my journey of taking care of dogs and other animals and ensure that owners will have enjoy time away without any stresses. I have lots of available time throughout the day to take pets on walks, feed, and check up on. I can ensure you that your pets are my top priority. The first and last thing I do before leaving a client’s house is checking the perimeters of the house to make sure assure there were no accidents made. I make sure there’s nothing your pets can get a hold of and chew on while I am taking care of them.
“Sara was great to work with. She was flexible about meeting times, key exchanges, and more. She spent time playing with the cats and sent pictures every day to let us know they were doing well. I'll definitely contact her first when our cats need a sitter.”
“Sarah was on top of taking care of our cats, including bringing in mail and packages, cleaning up some cat puke, finding our kitty that needed pills twice a day, and cleaning the litter boxes. She communicated well throughout the visits. Hopefully we can book her again!”
About: I have taken care of animals the majority of my life. Growing up, friends and family would rely on me to watch their pets. I’ve always had a passion for animals and nature, and recently graduated from college with a bachelor’s degree in biology and environmental science. My personal and professional careers have given me lots of experience in animal husbandry and basic medical skills. I have cared for dogs, cats, horses, sheep, and cows of many ages and sizes. Can’t wait to meet and bond with your beloved pets! I recently graduated from college and am currently seeking a full time job in the environmental science field. In the meantime, I am open to work as much as possible taking care of people’s animals! With a few exceptions here and there, I have a lot of availability in my week dedicated to pet care. I do not have a fenced yard in my current living situation but am very flexible when it comes to pet care in a client’s home. I am willing and able to bring any food, toys, blankets, beds, etc. to care for your animal and make them the most comfortable they can be. I also have dogs of my own who would love a playmate if that is of interest to the client.
“Sydney did a great job. She came by a few days before to meet our dogs and learn their routine. The dogs were her friends right away. Communication during drop-ins was great. Sent us pictures of our happy dogs. We’ll definitely be calling on her again soon.”

Rylie not only kept Gringo safe and happy, but she also went above and beyond—sending regular updates, photos, and making sure he stuck to his routine which gave us such peace of mind.
