“Jessica and Matthew did an amazing job dropping in to care for my dog and 2 cats! I felt confident that my animals were getting great care. I would plan to book them again in the future!”



About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors, and I treat each one as if they were my own. My home features a secure, gated yard where pets can safely play and relax, and as a runner, I enjoy keeping active dogs engaged with plenty of exercise and outdoor time. Whether it’s a game of fetch or a jog around the neighborhood, I make sure your pet stays happy, healthy, and stimulated. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine as a medical student off for the summer, giving me plenty of time and flexibility to focus on your pets needs. In my home, pets enjoy safe, gated yard playtime and plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether in my home or a client’s, I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, exercise, and cuddle time included—while keeping them comfortable, happy, and stress-free in a familiar or home-like environment.

“Kristin took great care of our two cats while we were away for 2 weeks. It’s clear she loves all animals. She was very communicative and always sent pictures, and our boys were very happy with their new friend!”


About: I've loved dogs ever since I can remember. I have experience caring for every breed of dog imaginable. Never found one I didn't love to the moon and back. I am a firefighter so my schedule can vary but I'll have lots of time to care and love your pup and give them all the scratches they deserve. I treat others' homes just like my own, if not better. I also don't mind grabbing your mail, feeding other pets, or watering plants if needed.

About: With 3+ years of professional experience working with animals, as well as 26 years of being surrounded by hundreds of pets of my own, my goal is to create the best, most memorable time for your animal friends. I treat every animal as if it's one of my own. From dogs to cats, rodents to reptiles, ducks to goats, and from newborn to senior, sick or in good health, I have cared for and nurtured just about any domesticated animal throughout all stages of life and am here to make sure that, no matter what, each and every animal is as happy as can be, because they deserve it. Four years ago, I lost my dog, Sugar, who I had since I was nine years old. We grew up together, and she meant everything to me. I've been trying to figure out how to fill that void ever since she left, but it's been tough man. Then I came across Rover. Now, I get to spend time with everyone else's dogs, and I see Sugar in every single one of them, which makes me want to give them the time of their lives. I appreciate everyone letting me watch after their pets. Most people do this for money; I do it, genuinely, because I love animals. Not just dogs, not just cats, but everything else in between. I've worked on farms and at pet stores, volunteered at animal shelters, fostered cats and rabbits, and even bred rodents for years - not to sell, but rather, just to care for and love. So this definitely is not limited to just canine and feline friends. I will care for any kind of animal. I have experience with them all. I work as a supervisor on 3rd shift right across the street from my house at a pet food manufacturing plant, making it super easy to take great care of your pet even throughout the night. I am home all day from 8am until 10pm, so there is really not much time ever where I won't be able to give your pet the care that it needs! I have a fenced yard with lots of room for your dog to run outside freely and plenty of room inside as well for a dog or cat or any other animal to roam about and go wherever their little heart desires. I have a young indoor cat who is very friendly and playful, a senior cat who stays in hiding, as well as two pet ducks that roam the yard who love friends. They have an enclosure of their own to lock them in if you are unsure of how your pet may react to ducks.

“Kelli wtched my senior cocker spaniel for four days when I was out of town. I was very pleased with the care that she gave, I received photos every day and a note for visits. When I got home my dog was calm and happy, what more could you ask for?! I would definitely recommend Kelli and will be contacting her to watch my girl again the next time I go out of town. She even was nice enough to take my garbage can to the curb and bring my mail in. Thank you again Kelli.”


About: I know how to spoil animals! Just ask my 2 dogs and my 2 cats! Let me spoil yours, too, with a walk or a belly rub! I am a school teacher off for the summer and can help you with your pets during the day or while your out of town. Let me know what your pets need. I can take them for a walk, play with them, or just give them some love and attention!

“Mary Kate is a very nice and loves animals. Sshe took care of my border collie this past weekend. Timely updates and sent me pictures of Katrina out playing in my yard. I highly recommend Mary Kate to care for your pets.”


“Samantha was incredible! She went above and beyond for my cat while I was gone and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She always made sure to send lots of pictures and give me updates about what they did that day. 10/10 would recommend”


About: I used to work at an animal shelter as a canine caregiver, where I worked with dogs of all different breeds, ages, sizes and backgrounds. I am currently a college student with a lot of free time and would love to spend that time doing what I love, working with dogs. I try to stay at the client’s home where the animal is the most comfortable. The client would normally show me their routine with the animal and I would try my best to follow as closely as possible during my time there.

“Staci did a great job with my elderly cocker spaniel. I felt very secure knowing that she was taking care of her during my vacation out of town. I received several pictures and updates on how she was doing while I was gone. I would definitely book her again to care for Tulla. Thank you, Staci?”


About: I love dogs they can tell. I have a boxer that enjoy running with and playing engaging games. I don't mind walking and running in winter weather. I enjoy working with dogs that want to get out and run but I'm also enjoying working with dogs who have gained some pounds and need a walk... who hasn't been there!? I think happy dogs are less destructive dogs and less distructive dog means happier owner. My hours and availability maybe changing relatively soon, but I am available every day before 8 and every day after 3 im available for overnight stays or weekend stays. I’m not able to board right now but I will be able to board soon! I look forward to hearing from you!!! -Cassi

About: I have owed and cared for dogs, cats and all kinds of other animals since I was a kid. I am a life long animal lover and rescuer. I have worked with rehabbers to rescue all kinds of wildlife. My goal is to help every animal have the best life possible. I work part time so I have plenty of time to spend caring, playing and hanging out with your precious fur babies on my down time. I have a fenced in yard for your pets to roam and access to food and water constantly. I have a small dog to keep your fur baby company while they are under my care.

“Amanda was great! We ended up needing to modify our plans somewhat with respect to timing of her visits , and needed a regular "heads-up" on her visits. She kept us consistently informed as to when she would be arriving at the house. Would definitely try to use her again.”


About: I’ve been involved with dogs and horses my entire life. I’ve trained a wide variety of dogs including, reactive dogs, puppies, seniors, small dogs, big dogs, nervy dogs and even some more challenging training like obedience and agility. With experience in house sitting, dog walking, public training, private sessions and more. I have knowledge in preventing medical illnesses and injuries as well as health and perfect diets. My services will not fail you on reliability, attention to detail, and flexibility. This would currently be my only job and one I would be more dedicated to. My household only has one vehicle at the moment so I would have to work around when my partner needs a ride to work and when I need to pick him up. But other than that I have plenty of free time to tend to your animals. Currently I am available to care for pets in my clients homes, your animals will be in safe hands as well as your home. Being attentive to animals is most important and making sure they get their stimulation for the day as well as exercise. My clients house rules and animal requests are at most importance.
