“This is the 1st time in 8+ years of having our dogs, we used Rover while going on a 4 day vacation. We found Toni literally 1 day before our travel and she was a great match for our pups. She has been very professional and kept us updated regularly with both photos and also text messages. I would have her house sit again if we need to go on vacation and I would totally recommend her for anyone”

“Farrin is an angel and took amazing care of my little treasure! She is attentive, loving toward animals and kept me feeling secure knowing she was there while I was gone! I'll never need anyone else to take care of my buddy...thank you Farrin for being absolutely incredible! My buddy is very "complicated" with his care, so I really needed someone that understood the complexities of caring for a dog that has special attentive needs, especially at feeding time. Farrin excelled my expectations and left me feeling blessed knowing she was here. Thank you Farrin, you ROCK!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years. I have experiences with dogs/cats, rodents, farm animals, etc. I grew up around horses and all sorts of other animals and I love them all! I currently have one dog who is the biggest goof and I absolutely adore him. I am currently pregnant so a little extra exercise on walks will never hurt! I enjoy all the cuddles and kisses as well! I love all animals as if they are my own! I’ve also recently been loving going on hikes or a trip to the dog park…if that’s something your fur baby would be interested in I would love for them to join me! I am able to take your pets on walks, run them around a fenced in yard or even just play tug of war in the house! I am comfortable crating animals, administering meds or anything else they might need!
“Such a nice young Lady. Shes like a dog whisperer, they loved her instantly! My dogs dont get that excited when I come home! Top notch! I would give her ten stars if I could. Madison went above and beyond!”

About: I have had pets since I was born. I currently live with four dogs and two cats and help take care of them. I can walk dogs on short and long walks. I can house sit any pets or check in as needed. I have a cat of my own named Clementine. She is an affectionate two year old who loves to play. My sister has a cat of her own named Ace. She is six and prefers her space. She will find you when she wants attention or wants to play. My parents have four dogs. The oldest is Ripley at eleven years old. She loves affection and to cuddle. Penny is a Westie mix who is eight years old. She is a sassy dog who will wrestle her way into getting love. Her brother, Balin, is an eight year old German Shepherd. When he is not barking at one of the neighbors walking on the sidewalk, he loves to play ball or play with his sisters. The youngest dog is Artemis. She is a two year old German Shepherd who cannot stop moving. She loves to play and be outside for as long as she can. I work Monday through Thursday from 8am to 3pm. I am free Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I give pets amble opportunity before I go to work to use the bathroom, eat, and stretch their legs before I leave. When I get back I take the pets out immediately and feed them when scheduled. If I do leave the house, I try not to be gone for more than 4-6 hours. I can follow all of the instructions to the letter. I understand everyone has preferences how their pet is taken care of. I would love to know any quirks or routines your pets may have. I like to update after every visit. For house sitting, I will send photos and an update in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I can provide more updates if desired.

“Gabriel was a great pet sitter for my little guy! On time, left my place clean and always communicated! He will take great care of any animal. I’ll definitely be booking him again!”

“Jordan was amazing. She was personal and friendly. Rosie and Rico lover her and behaved well! She sent us texts and pictures. Kept us informed. It was nice to have someone to chill and be there and love on the our family members.”


“April is seriously the sweetest. She helped us out with a last-minute work trip and still showed up with so much care even while going through a hard time herself. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of and that gave us so much peace of mind. We truly appreciate her and would 100% love working with her again. 💛”

“Erica was fantastic with our two miniature wires hair dachshunds. She stayed at the home and kept our dogs company while we were away over the Thanksgiving week. She kept us updated through the week and took them for walks. We highly recommend her.”

About: Growing up in a house with a variety of pets taught me that animals aren't just pets—they're family. With a psychology background, I use positive reinforcement to bring out the best in every dog. I'm currently caring for my two middle-aged and senior dogs who need 10 daily medications, so I understand both puppy energy and gentle senior care. As a fellow pet parent and nature lover, I know how important it is to find someone who truly gets it. Your dog will get the same love and attention mine do—because that's what they deserve. I recently left my corporate job to seek a healthier lifestyle. I am in the process of building a business which gives me lots of flexibility to care for your dogs needs at any hour. Early mornings, mid-day, late evenings and even overnight! Just reach out and we will make it work! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities in their own familiar environment. I keep your home secure with doors and windows properly locked, and I'm mindful of any specific safety concerns you've mentioned about your pet or property. I stick to your pet's exact routine—feeding times, walks, medications, everything—because I know staying consistent helps them feel secure when you're away. It's just me giving your furry friend the one-on-one attention they deserve in the comfort of their own space. I treat your home with the same respect I'd want for mine. I'll handle small tasks like watering plants or bringing in mail, and I always leave everything exactly as I found it. You'll get regular photo updates so you can see your pet is happy and relaxed at home. With experience caring for my two senior dogs who need daily medications and close monitoring, I know how to spot when something's off with a pet's behavior or health. If any concerns come up, I'll contact you right away. Your pet gets the same attentive, loving care I give my own-because home is where they're most comfortable.
“Ragan was great as always. Especially with a last minute trip. I know Siggy boy is in great hands with her. Probably with mentioning the place is always clean when we get back, too. Thank you so much Ragan!”


About: "Looking for a sitter who truly speaks animal? I have spent my entire life caring for an incredible variety of pets, giving me the unique skills needed to handle almost any animal family. My experience includes giant dog breeds (English Mastiffs and Great Pyrenees), livestock (horses, chickens, and goat herds), and exotic reptiles. Today, I am a proud parent to a cat and two Holland Lop rabbits! Because I have lived alongside animals my whole life, I excel at reading their body language, vocal cues, and unique personalities. I am ready to provide a premium, loving, and safe environment for your babies!" I'm newly a father and am currently on paid family leave, and am available most days. My daily routine includes waking around 3am and getting the day started. I have several 2 hour blocks of time throughout my day that are not currently filled with any activities, perfect for caring for your pets! In My Home (Cat & Rabbit Friendly): Separate Zones: I maintain dedicated, safe zones for my resident cat and two Holland Lop rabbits to prevent stress. Exotic-Safe Space: My home environment is calm, secure, and adapted to handle specialized pet needs without disruption. Escorted Outdoor Time: Any outdoor access is strictly supervised within secure boundaries. In your home: Home Security: I strictly follow your home entry, locking, and alarm instructions to ensure property safety. Zero-Trace Care: I leave your home exactly as I found it, or better, cleaning up all pet waste immediately. Consistency: I mimic your exact feeding, walking, and crating schedules to minimize your pet's separation anxiety. Communication Expert: My lifetime of experience with giant breeds, livestock, and exotics means I actively read body language to prevent stress or conflict, and can quickly soothe an agitated pet. Daily Updates: I send frequent text and photo updates so you know your pets are safe, happy, and thriving. Emergency Ready: I keep your preferred vet information on hand and maintain a clear action plan for urgent situations, prioritizing your pets health above all else!

“Ronda was not only efficient and responsive, sharing twice-daily feedback about the care and feeding of our two kitties, but she was also able to establish an affectionate bond with them during our 16-day absence. We are pleased to give Ronda 5 stars and would highly recommend her.”

“Billy was the perfect Dog Sitter. All four of my dogs loved him immediately. He took such good care of them. He was prompt, courteous, attentive to all of my dogs. He was fantastic, and I will certainly use him again.”

“Liza was great! Super flexible and great communication. My dogs got into a scuffle (no fault of Liza’s whatsoever!) and she handled it great, communicated with me immediately and kept me up to date. My farm and dogs are not the easiest to handle and I was very happy with how Liza managed them all and was incredibly respectful of my home”
