“From the moment Chloe and I had a meet and greet with Samantha, I could just tell she is a genuinely kind person. She took great care of Chloe while my husband and I were out for the evening. She sent me pictures and I could tell Chloe really likes her. We look forward to the next time that Samantha can dog sit for us!!!”
About: I have been taking care of my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs and cats since I was 15. I have been hired to dog and cat sit during the day (for pets of all ages), walking dogs, and drop in visits to feed animals and play with them! I am currently in physical therapy school and have a very flexible schedule. I am available after 4pm Monday through Friday and off on the weekends. Starting May 1st I will be available all day everyday except for days marked off! I have a fence and big backyard. When caring for others pets, I am able to let them outside with a fence or able to take them out on a leash. I also have a car if they enjoy car rides!
“Morgan was a great pet sitter. My dog can be very shy and warmed up to her quickly. She was very attentive and helpful. My pets were well cared for by her, and I will definitely use her services again when I need an overnight sitter.”

“Jillian went above and beyond for our dogs during her housesitting visit. She sends tons of photos, spends lots of time with the dogs during overnights, and goes out of her way to make sure they have plenty of treats. We all adore Jillian!”
“Nicole was diligent in caring for our dog and bought him a couple of new toys that he loves! She was cheerful and exhibited a great ability in being able to manage his rambunctious behaviors from the very first day. We appreciated her dependability and punctuality.”
“Gregg is an awesome pet sitter. My dogs were very comfortable with him. He is kind, considerate, caring and he pays attention to detail. He sent many pictures and provided detailed status updates during the sit. My dogs and I will definitely be requesting his pet sitting services again soon!”
About: I don’t discriminate against any type of breed. I care for them as they are my own . There is no problem for me in giving medications, if needed. I currently work full time . They would be taken care of in the morning, if needed at lunch time . Once done my normal work day, then I would go back to them for however long was needed . In the clients home : We would play, go for walks if the dog enjoys them . I like to snuggle and sit with them, I will converse with them . I always make sure they have fresh water .
“Rebecca was great! She put up with my very clingy dog and gave her lots of snuggles and attention. ❤️ Great communication and overall wonderful experience. Will be booking with her again!”
“Brooklyn was simply amazing!! Not only took care of our sweet pup, but amazing with the home and to top it all off a Christmas / New Year’s Greetig Card with Oakley’s pic on it. We Highly, Highly recommend her!!! & can’t wait to have her back taking care of Oakley again!!”
“Allison took very good care of our Russian Blue cat, Thor, while we went away for a long weekend. Allison was really kind, efficient, prompt, responsive, and sent us photos/clips of Thor so we were able to relax while being away and have peace of mind. I highly recommend Allison as a terrific pet house sitter!”
About: I’ve loved dogs all my life - caring for family, friends, and neighbors’ pups. I now have a rescued pitbull who’s taught me patience, love, and trust. I usually work until 1–3 PM, so my afternoons are open for walks and visits. Spending that time with dogs is the best part of my day! I make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for, whether they’re in my home or yours - lots of love, attention, and playtime always included!
“Julia was excellent caring for my two cats. She gave them plenty of love and attention, and provided regular updates for me. We came home to two happy and cared for kitties. Would absolutely use Julia again and highly recommend her!”
About: It is my patience and genuine love for animals drives me to want to care for them! I love making pups and owners happy! I believe all animals deserve to be loved while their owners are away! Hi! I am currently a student and have a part-time job on the weekends, during the day but flexible enough that I can come before and after (pet would not be alone for more than a couple of hours). I have classes in the morning and can be free the rest of the day! I am done with class by lunch but am willing to stop by in between. I do not live in the Rowan area outside of school but readily available and flexible during the school year! I provide overnight care as well as cuddles, playtime and just afternoon sitting as well! Flexible to do anything your pet needs! I also provide walks and high-energy play time if that’s what your pup requires!

This was our first time leaving our golden and 2 cats for anything longer than several hours and they were left in good hands with Amy. They were taken care of very well, and we'll definitely rebook with Amy again should the need arise. Def recommend Amy for your pets' needs.
