Very friendly and professional and I will most definitely hope to use Pam again in the future! In fact I’ve already rebooked. Myself, Molly & Franny all say, thank you!! 😊”

“Madeline was kind and patient with my nervous little rescue dog who thinks she can only be taken care of by me. Thank you, Madeline. Great dependable service and sweet to Cici, too!”
“Andrey is amazing! He showed up right on time to meet and greet my pups. He’s very sweet, kind and showed great attention to detail in regards to caring for my crew. My senior dogs need a lot of love and he took such great care of them. He was very communicative, sending me pictures and updates of how my dogs were doing each day. He even kept my home neat and tidy. Andrey was a fabulous choice and I will continue to have him watch my dogs again in the future.”

“Norma took great care of our GSD and Lab, taking them on walks, filling up water and even cleaning up after them. They were well taken care of while we were away. I’ll definitely use Norma again!”
About: I've been house sitting/ pet sitting for about 15 years now. My friends, family, and neighbors have all trusted me to watch their furry, feathered,or scaled babies for long trips out of state/country or for last minute help. I personally have a few different types of animals from cats and dogs to bunnies and my snake and a few chickens. I've also had experience with live stock as well. I'm also looking going to school to be a vet tech as well! I love going on hikes and being outside so if your furry friends like long walks we will fit perfectly together! I hope to get to know and help you and your babies soon! I am available any day of the week and weekends the only time I'm unavailable is Thursday's from 8pm-12pm for karaoke hosting. Other then that I am free! My house/backyard is safe for dogs and I also have crates for dogs but I perfer to stay where they are comfortable and not anxious. The pets tend to have better experiences when I stay at the client's home.
“Nicole did a great job watching my two cats! She provided updates, sent pictures, and she left the place clean. I will definitely be booking her the next time I need a sitter!”
“This is my first time using Rover and the experience couldn't have been better thanks to Steph!!! Her love for animals and caring for them is felt every step of the way. The only downfall to vacation getaways is missing our fur children, and it made me feel so much better that they were both being taken care of so well by Steph. ❣️ Biggest pro: Einstein loved her Pros: Communicative, punctual, detailed and caring notes, timely pet pics, friendly, peace of mind Cons: NONE Steph, you just became out go to sitter. Thank you!!!”
“Kelcy is a fantastic sitter for my cat. She’s my go to sitter for when I go out of town. I have no worries about my cat when she watches him. She is prompt and efficient in communicating. She always provides multiple pictures and details of her drop in with him. I always look forward to read what she has to say about my cat. If you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter, look no further! Always happy with Kelcy and how she treats my kitty. Thank you Kelcy!”
About: Hi there! I’m Logan and I thank you for giving my profile a look! My family has had dogs in our house since 2009, so I’ve taken care of multiple dogs in my life. I love any breed and size! I can’t work with cats as much family has a history of cat allergies. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog(s) wagging tail(s) My mom used to work at a school and asked me to take care of our two dogs for the day while she was gone. I made sure they had food, water, went to the restroom and had lots of fun! I treat all the dogs we have like they’re my child. I take care of them to make sure they live long happy lives! It’s nice to cuddle with them.
About: Hi! I am Sara! Dog mom, pastry baker, and animal lover. I have a very small pupper of my own. I am most comfortable with the very small but mighty protectors, who may need some extra love and attention, or maybe some extra potty breaks. I am also experienced with the bigger puppers as well, (Tank, 100 lb Saint Bernard). I like to think of all dogs all puppers, no matter their age or size. Every dog is still the young happy loving pupper that they once were that still needs all the love and attention. Can't wait to meet all the new and loving puppers hopefully soon! Currently working from home, making sweet pastries and custom cakes. I have a lot of extra time in between orders and would love to get out and enjoy the sun and beautiful day with your wonderful dogs. I can care for small and medium size puppers here in my home. I have plenty of beds and step stools for our mighty small puppers. I am also very comfortable with larger dogs as well, but my place is a little small so I am available for house calls/sitting and always available to take a our lovely dogs out for a much needed walk and some extra exercise.

Sarah was amazing with my two cats! From the moment I met her, her calm and kind energy set all of us at ease. My high energy cat and fluffy scaredy cat both took to her immediately. She was caring, on time, sent cutest pictures and left the house tidy. I would recommend her to all my friends!
Carly was awesome! Came over a few days in advance to meet the cats and hear the set up for the five days we were gone. We had no worries while we were away with Carly checking in on them and keeping their litter boxes clean and waters stocked. She sent a picture of both of them each check in and was communicative and reliable. Thanks Carly! Would definitely book again 😸😸
Emily did an AMAZING job caring for our dog and cat. She was very thorough in following our requested guidance and our animals were very well loved in her care. She also was a great communicator about when she would be coming by and took lots of photos. Everyone was very happy when we got back home. Thanks, Emily!
We had a wonderful experience with Bihua as our cat sitter. She took care of our two cats for four days and did an excellent job. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure to send us updates with photos after every visit, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our cats looked happy and well cared for the whole time. We’re so grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
