“Kaitlyn had been an amazing and wonderful caretaker of my rescue when I have over night trips. She is attentive, sweet, and caring with my pet. Provides wonderful updates and keeps me informed on how things are going. My dog really seems to enjoy her as well which is a comforting relief. Highly highly recommend Kaitlyn for your petting sitting considerations! Thank you Kaitlyn!”
“Madison took care of our 4 pets- 2 large dogs & 2 cats while we were out of town for 5 days. One of the dogs had just had surgery and ended up being somewhat challenging with his bandage. She made sure he was taken care of and kept us up to date the whole time. She went above and beyond! We will use her in the future!”
“Katie was amazing with our pups! We have 4 small dogs 8 month Yorkie, 7 year old Yorkie, 8 year old Yorkie mix, and a 10 year old Morkie. All with very distinct personalities and quirks. Katie came a couple times before hand to meet them. She quickly recognized everyone's characters and adjusted to keep them happy. If she had any questions, she did not hesitate to reach out. I received daily pictures and texts. Which is a blessing when you are leaving your babies for a length of time. Katie made me feel comfortable and I was able to enjoy my vacation.”
“Bekka was amazing. We felt good leaving our dogs and chickens in her care. She communicated really well throughout the weekend and left the house in perfect shape when we returned!!”

I rent and have 3 pets, significant other, a daughter and a grandson in the house.
About: I have had a dog my whole life. I have bathed, fed, and walked my dogs when all family members were at work since I've been raised in a small family. My dogs growing up have been my best friends and I absolutely love them! I’m a part-time CNA, so caring comes naturally!

“Sarah recently dog sat my two dogs, Moose and Bear, for six days, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! Sarah stayed at our house while we were away, and she sent the perfect amount of updates and photos, which reassured us that the pups were well taken care of. When we returned, everything was clean and tidy, which was a huge relief after a long trip. Our friend who usually watches the pups had a last minute emergency, and Sarah was available on short notice and was very communicative and came to our home for a meet and greet the same day, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”

“Amelia was great with our nervous puppy. She house sat for us and really made sure Peanut had a great time. She sent lots of pictures and videos and was great about communicating with us to coordinate everything. Peanut went from too afraid to leave her crate to sleeping snuggled up right next to her in just a day or two.”

They feel our energy big time and have so much to share with us when we give them the chance.

“Johanna is honestly the best sitter I could have found! I have a 1.5 year old GSD who is a little high maintenance and he fell in love with her instantly.

Michael F.
“Mike is what I call the animal whisperer. Mike gas a special connection with pets, to include our 2 cats and a dog with anxiety. We have 4 of us living in the house and each pet gravitate towards Mike every day. They love us as well, but you can see the bond Mike has with each pet. Mike has a tremendous amount of live for any animal. I have also witnessed Mike's interactions with pets being walked in front of our home, pets that don't know Mike and they to are immediately relaxed and interactive with Mike. I believe Mile would he an asset to Rover in any capacity with any type of pet.”
