“Neige watched our cats for the first time this last week and they seemed to do well while we were gone. Neige was good about sending me pictures and updates and when we arrived home everything was clean and we'll maintained in the cats' main area. She even checked in on them an unexpected extra day when our flight was canceled and we were delayed in our journey home. I would definitely hire her again.”


“Evelyn was great! She communicated with me the entire time I was on vacation with pictures and activities! She was so good with my boy!! Definitely using her again!!!”


About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember. We had pets of all kinds growing up. I have a dog (border collie + blue heeler mix) and a cat (Maine coon). I have been pet sitting for four years and have experience with complex diets, nervous and excited animals, and administering medications orally and through injections. I pet sit in my free time. I usually have to ask off work to take care of animals, so two weeks notice is best. My schedule will be more open in August. I always double check locks on all doors to ensure safety for the animals and belongings in the house. I always clean messes made by animals while I am there.

“Was very friendly and met all my expectations. This was a last minute booking and she was available on a holiday weekend. She was there for both my dogs when we couldn’t be! 5 stars!”


About: From the time I was a baby, there has never been a moment where my family did not have any animals in the home, and my love for animals I inherited from my grandpa. I knew when I had my own home, I would also have pets. After adopting my sweet fur babies, finding a reliable and trusting pet sitter was the most important thing, and having the assurance that they were being loved on and taking care of the same way that I do was the utmost importance. After some time and consideration, I thought I could offer my services as a pet sitter and the same love and caring for other animals that I have for mine, as well as offering the peace of mind pet parents need when trusting another to watch their beloved pets. I have personal experience with different breeds of dogs from big to small as well as cats, and have had animals from puppy/kitten stage to old age. My Fila girl completed 4 levels of training at Tri-State K9 University as her background was unknown when I fostered (and later adopted her), but though her behavior it was clear she had been through a rough time and suffered from fear and anxiety. With patience, love, and training she blossomed out of her shell and out came the sweet, playful girl I knew she truly was. I know some animals need extra care and handling in order to trust someone, which is why I know having the best pet sitter is so important and want to bring my love, experience, and patience to you and your beloved pets. I am mostly available early mornings and evening, but I am willing to work with you to find the best schedule to care for your animal(s). My sweet Fila can be picky with her canine friends, so I will not be able to provide services in my home but I am happy to take your dog on walks around your neighborhood, a nearby park, and play a game of fetch (or whatever your animal prefers) in your yard. I also have a wonderful fiance and stepchildren who would also love to help provide extra love and hugs to your animal(s) if allowed.

About: My love for all animals has been something i have felt strongly about since a toddler. Bringing home every stray as a teen and now working towards opening my very own operation to help house strays and possibly run my own daycare or training service. Everyday i work with dogs. i have lots of experience with all kinds of things with dogs. bathing grooming nail trims , feeding and meds. i have a big fully fenced in backyard with a friendly dog for your pups to make best of friends with. they will enjoy outside time everyday

About: I’ve had dogs, guinea pigs, cats, turtles etc, you name it and I’ve probably taken care of it! Dogs are my passion however, I love cuddles and playing with them! I’m free any day , anytime! As long as it is a day in advance I’m perfectly fine with anything! Whatever you are wanting done , I can do! I have 10+ years of any animal handling. I feel comfortable doing anything you need! From small dogs to big dogs I feel very confident and working with them

“Abby was great! We will absolutely be using her again. She’s a real pet person and 100% cares for their safety and happiness—as well as your own! Had never used this app before and am super glad we got it right first try :)”


“Amanda has been a life saver for me and my special needs dog, Booker. Booker is extremely nervous and wary of strangers so finding a dog walker has always been a challenge. Amanda was willing to work with us and was patient and calm with Booker. She is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and was able to earn Booker’s trust within a week. Now she is able to come daily and walk him while I work 12 hr shifts. I would absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone needing drop in visits or walks for their pets. Friendly and professional.”

“It was a great first experience with Rover! I really appreciated the video call to meet you beforehand, which gave us great peace of mind. The detailed notes and adorable pictures from your visit with Ellie were wonderful—it was clear she was in good hands. Thank you for your attentiveness and care, it made a huge difference knowing Ellie was happy and well taken care of!”


About: I’ve been working with dogs since I was 12 and have spent the past year at a professional pet boarding facility, where I care for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and attention, I’ve gained hands-on experience with a wide range of needs. I’m confident in daily routines like feedings, walks, cleaning, playtime, and helping dogs feel calm and comfortable while you’re away. I truly love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for like family. I work part-time during the week, so I’m available for pet care anytime after 1 PM on weekdays. Weekends are even more flexible—I’m free all day to give your pet the attention they need. This schedule allows me to provide focused, quality care without rushing. Whether it’s regular visits, walks, playtime, or last-minute care, I’m here to fit your schedule and make sure your furry friend feels happy, safe, and loved. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, so I’m committed to being reliable and attentive every time we meet. I prefer caring for pets at their own home because it’s a familiar, comfortable environment for them, and my home can be a bit busy at times. However, I’m happy to make arrangements to care for pets at my home if needed. My home has a securely fenced yard, so dogs can play and explore safely. Whether at your place or mine, your pet will receive the same loving, attentive care, with plenty of supervision, playtime, and comfort to keep them happy and safe.

About: I am a natural at caring for and nurturing dogs which I have had since I was 3. Caring for them is a joy and a blessing. They will be pampered as if they were mine.

They also get plenty of exercise as needed as well as affection. I have 2 nearby dog parks, one within walking distance that I use. I have 2 yorkies that love other dogs and my home is theirs. They are welcome anywhere in my home. I do go by my middle name which is GAIL. Thank you!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10. That includes outside and inside pets. I can train dogs on basic commands using positive reinforcement. I also ensure all dogs will get a nice walk and frequent bathroom breaks outside. I'm home full time taking care of a 2 year old girl. I also teach private music lessons through the week in the afternoons and tutor in mathematics at our residence. I'm always at home doing house chores and taking care of my health by daily exercising and healthy eating. I love getting the opportunity to take care of pets and always treat them like my own; they never cease to put a smile on my face! We no longer offer boarding and daycare services at our home. However we still offer drop in visits, walks, and house sitting. We make sure to clean up after ourselves and any mess with toys, laundry, trash, dishes we may make at your residence. As for your fur babies, we will give them lots of love, attention and fun in the sun! We enjoy getting to learn each and every dog’s personality quirks, they never cease to put a smile on our faces!

About: Seasoned in dog care, I offer a blend of companionship and responsibility. From tailored walks to playtime, your canine companion's happiness and health are my top priorities. Using positive reinforcement techniques, I foster good behavior, ensuring a well-behaved and happy furry family member. I am a student at USI and have time in between classes to care for pets. During the week my course load varies giving me the opportunity to commit entire days or parts of my day to non academic activities. I have a fenced in yard and 3 playful dogs for your fur baby to play with. I care for my clients home as if it were mine and ensure timely potty breaks and walks for dogs with ample playtime. For cats I make sure they have a fresh litter box and clean water bowls. I strictly follow feeding instructions and dietary guidelines for the animals in my care to ensure the happiest and healthiest pet.

Arysson A.
“Arysson has been one of the only people I trust when it comes to taking care of my dog Lily. Whenever I have to leave town or be out of the house for a long time she’s always the first person I call to watch Lily. Lily is usually a quiet standoffish dog towards others besides me but when she sees Arysson you can see the excitement in her eyes. She’s also very reliable and I know that when Lily with her she will follow her schedule, meet her needs & keep me updated throughout the day. When it comes to taking care of animals in general Arysson is truly the best person to call !”
