“This was our first time leaving our two dogs alone in the new house for several days. Joshua did a terrific job of taking care of them, keeping them company and making them feel safe - and keeping us updated so we didn't worry too much. He has a wonderful way with dogs!”
About: I’ve loved and taken care of animals since I was a kid. My family used to call me the dog whisperer because I was the family and friend pet sitter. I have some training experience from my own pets and those of my family. I am a firm believer that a pet is truly a part of the family and should be treated as such! I work from home and can house dogs during the day. I love taking walks in the mornings and evenings and bringing a furry friend along sounds like such a treat! Weekend hikes are also more enjoyable with company! My dog is like my child. She gets love and affection all throughout the day and as often as I can afford. I also have a large fenced in yard that my pup loves to run in all the time. I do my best to keep my pup happy and healthy. I want her to live a long and happy life.
“Angelina was very professional, and her personality is great. She cares about the animals and took great care of my cat and was very prompt. I will be calling her again to come take care of my kiddo.”
“Maddy has been very professional, prompt and respectful. My animals adore her and she spends the time to cuddle with my older dog during her drop ins. Highly recommend her services!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we chose to book Elizabeth. She was phenomenal! She was attentive, left detailed info on each of her visits and followed all of our instructions to a T. She was mindful to lock up and close everything just as she was asked. She is so very sweet, kind, showed up on time and I’m very impressed with her and our first Rover experience. Will definitely seek out Elizabeth next time we need a sitter!”
“Livvi was great! Checked in on our cat for a couple of days while we went camping, everything went super smooth, cat is super happy! Thank you so much Livvi, you were a joy to work with!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 4 years, and it’s truly something I love doing. Caring for both dogs and cats brings me so much joy-I treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping their routine steady while you’re away. I’m here to make sure your furry family members feel safe and loved. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the time and attention they need throughout the day. I’m able to stick to their routines for feeding, walks, and companionship, helping them feel safe and relaxed. I follow each pet’s routine closely to make sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own home. From feeding and walks to playtime and snuggles, I give them the attention and care they need while you’re away.
About: I grew up loving animals- we had cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, and even mice. I took in 2 stray kitties during college and dog sat for the hockey team. (Puppies and senior pups). I administered medications and even put on diapers. (I’m a nicu nurse so I’m great at that). I’m very active and have lots of time off so I figured what better way to spend my time than doing what I love. My fiancé and I are currently building a house so we can hopefully expand our pet family soon! I currently have a cat named Louie we adopted him at just 8 weeks old, he’s our pride and joy. I work nightshift as a nurse so I pretty much have every other week off with a couple days in between. On the days I do work I’m able to walk in the mornings and take a quick nap during the day. (My fiancé also works from home). I will try to keep more of my availability during the weeks I don’t work so I’ll be home all day :) I don’t have a yard but love to go outside and go on walks. I don’t mind going out frequently at all. We have hardwood floors just in case accidents do happen! Regarding clients homes, I will respect their home and their rules. I will use a crate and clean up poop!
“Madison loves Max dearly. He is an old goofy Shepard and has a bit of arthritis She is attentive to that. He is excited every time she comes. She has been very flexible with my work schedule even on short notice. I highly recommend her.”
“Last week I was looking for someone who lived in my neighborhood to check on my pup as I was at work all day both Sunday and Monday. Did I ever hit the Jackpot when I picked Kaitlyn. I received notifications, pictures and report cards from her visits. She gave a lot of love to my baby girl. She even brought in 3 packages from my porch. I will definitely use Kaitlyn in the future when I need a sitter. If you are looking for someone who is reliable, sweet and will love your pet like their own, look no further, pick Kaitlyn!”
About: During Covid, I was laid off and it turned into a wonderful experience of being able to dog sit. I was watching 5 dogs on a regular basis, feeding, playing, napping, and loving on each and every one of them. I absolutely love dogs, I have taken care of small to big dogs and they are all my favorite!! I worked at an animal shelter and gained a lot of animal knowledge and experience from there I am currently working a full time job Monday through Friday until 3PM, with occasional weekend shifts. I am able to do drop in, house sitting, and walkings in the afternoons. I can provide lots of love, attention, and stimulation to your pets. I am very active but also love to relax and provide cuddles if your pet is more on the mellow side of activity. I am happy to clean up any messes, and follow any particular instructions of care you may have for your pet.
About: My experiences as a pet owner have been fairly long, with extensive time spent caring for senior dogs. I got my first dog at 4 and he lived until I was 21. He was a stubborn old grump. I have experiences with puppy care as well of course, and am very aware of gestures. I approach all animals in the same way I approach kids, meaning I respect their boundaries and don't push them to engage with me. Mostly I am free for pet care with the exceptions of Thursdays and Sundays which I have assignments due, and spend those days catching up on my studies. In a client's home, I try to build a relationship with their little furbabies without encroaching too much on their space. Say for instance, if your dog likes to hide away in the kennel, I'll give them time before attempting to coax them out for potty breaks. Whatever the clients rules are, goes of course.

Tamey P.
“Tamey has been a part of Nellie’s life for a few years now, and we honestly couldn’t imagine a better match. Nellie is a sensitive, quirky pup who doesn’t warm up to just anyone—but with Tamey, it was an instant connection. She just gets Nellie: her routines, her little anxieties, and all her goofy habits. Every time Tamey watches her, we come home to a calm, happy dog (and usually a few sweet photos too). It’s such a relief to know Nellie is loved and understood when we’re away. Tamey is trustworthy, consistent, and has the kind of heart you hope every pet sitter has.”
