“Georgia helped care for our 2 kittens, one of which was sick and needed daily meds. She communicated and sent pictures daily, and she was friendly and trustworthy. We will definitely book again in the future!”


“Izzy was so nice and took my booking at the last minute which I so appreciated! My mom met with her since I left before she could meet up, and also had nothing but good things to say. She came around the same time every day, took pictures of my cat for me (there is separation anxiety but it's not my cat), and gave her some pets as well as medication. My cat is usually very nervous and doesn't come out for just anyone, but she came out for Izzy. She also checked on my fish when we needed to determine if the water was low. Thank you, Izzy! I'll be booking again!”


“Excellent dog watcher!! It was my second time hiring Daniel and was such a comfort to travel while letting my senior dog stay at home. Daniel did great, kept me up to date with pictures and information about my dogs eating and drinking habits. Would definitely recommend if your like me and want your dog to stay in his comfort zone, hiring Daniel to look after your pet.”



“Amanda did a great job taking care of my cat Lucie for 3 weeks! She didn’t miss a day and sent great pics. She is highly trustworthy, I would use her again, and I highly recommend her!”


“This woman is fantastic! We highly recommend her, as do our dogs. Besides being reliable (that is not always a Rover attribute) she was so friendly and accommodating. Though we don’t currently need her help any longer, we aren’t letting her get far away ! She is a GEM!”


“Debra helped us out so much by looking after our two cats. She was on time and also flexible with our schedule. Her pictures really put us at ease while we were away! Thanks Debra!”


About: I love dogs and want to adopt all of them! I had a Boston Terrier who was my little shadow. Since I don't have the time to adopt a new dog, I figured pet sitting would be a great way to fill the spaces left that only dogs know how to fill. I work as a nurse at the hospital M-F 730-4. I can do drop in appointments before and after work, or could pet sit overnight. I have 2 indoor cats. I'm unsure of how they are with dogs but they get along with other cats well. If needed, I could keep the animals separated. At your home, I would follow whatever directions are given, offer some play time or snuggle time, and send updates about your pet.

About: I have had a dog all my life. Growing up we had Boxers. In my adult married life we have had Labrador Retrievers . These dogs have not been dogs but fur kids. I have taken them to obedience classes so I have experience in commands and working with them. I believe that fur kids need plenty of exercise on and off leashes. Dog parks are a good way to socialize them and get in exercise. In the home mind games are fun too. Sniffing out a treat to playing with toys on the floor with them. I love taking pictures and document what we do. You will know what your fur child is doing. I am currently working for home during the week day so being with them during the day works. I am able to take breaks and go on short walks. Play with them in our fenced in yard. I plan on retirement in May so I will be available 24/7, 365 days a year. I am willing to come into your home if you would feel more comfortable. If they come to my home we have a fenced in yard and will be able to play with our 2 fur boys. One is an 8 year old chocolate Labrador and the other is a 5 year old German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees. Both have had other dogs come into the home and stayed with us. They love having visitors. In your home I will attend to their needs as you have outlined.

About: I have my own pets who I take care of everyday and have been surrounded by animals since I was little. I understand that pet care is very individualized and am adaptable. I am very flexible with anything that is needed schedule wise. I am available for overnight stays for any day of the week, but weekends would be preferable I will be aware of the pet at all times and will do my best to keep them in a confortable environment with a new person in their house.

“Emily is wonderful! Our cat was originally a stray so she is timid with others but based on the videos I think she is really warming up to Emily! Emily does a great job and we have used her services several times now. It feels so good knowing we can rely on her to check on our cat when we go out of town.”


About: I've always been the family member my family could call on to take care of their dogs when they were out. I've walked/been walked by an energetic husky, I've looked after a blind/deaf elderly shih tzu, I've spent hours playing with a cuddly golden retriever, and now I want to help take care of your pets. My schedule is fairly free for weekday/weekend care, earlier in the morning would work better for me but if you need me to come over at the evening/night time, I'd be more than happy to do so. My drop-ins involve a quick to-do list to take care of the basics (any food bowl, water, or potty attention), followed by playtime until I can ensure your pet is happy and satisfied. If you'd like me to have some photos of your pet whether I'm doing in home care or taking them for a walk, let me know and if there's an opening, I'll gladly snap a few photos for you on my phone!

About: I have been around animals my whole life, and I have done dog and cat sitting a few times over the years for neighbors or friends. I’ve had cats and dogs in my home since 2014, and I am very comfortable around both. I currently have a full time job; I work primarily in the mornings with evening shifts thrown in here and there. I don’t do much outside of that, so I am pretty available otherwise. I want to keep all pets feeling comfortable, following their routines/schedule, and keeping them company (within their boundaries). I no longer live with my cats and miss them greatly, so I will make sure they receive extra attention, pets, and playtime (within their boundaries).

About: I've had small dogs as a child and larger dogs as an adult. Also love cats. We have a nice sized back yard to play in. Will be willing to take dogs for walks or do drop in visits if you'd rather keep them in there own familiar environment. I work 2 days a week and would be available after to feed, walk and potty your beloved pet. I available during the day or evening to stop by and check on your best friend if you'd rather I have a large backyard yard and a friendly weimaraner to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed or let him sleep on a blanket or bed that he/she enjoys....

About: I have owned animals in my house since I was 7 years old. I also animal sat for family and friends while they were on vacations. I currently do not have a job. I can take care of animals anytime and any day of the week. I also have a reliable vehicle to get to and from scheduled times. I currently live in an apartment so I can't take animals in my home, but I can and will provide the best care to another person's animals like they are my own at their home.

“Fantastic. I forgot to book the last day and she kindly reminded me that it wasn't booked so that she could help us with care before we return home. Our fur babies loved her presence and she didn't waste any time to ensure they had some fun playtime together. Thank you!”


About: I was a petsitter for three years in Florida walking dogs, taking care of them at home and i have had dogs since i was an adult. With that role i was trusted to be reliable, loving and kind to the animals I took care of. I am a proud dog mom to Pete and Sandi. I love them sooo much!! I have volunteered at the Ark in Lacon and I am a US Navy veteran. I work in the morning and a couple days a week in the afternoon so I'm available during the day as needed. I am also available on nights and weekends. I have a large fenced in backyard for my doggies to run free. My pets are very spoiled. They sleep in bed with me. They have a multitude of toys.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover since I was little. Throughout college I have done all sorts of pet/house sitting for friends, family, coworkers etc. I have house sat for a family friend that required feeding and watering horses, milking goats, reptile care, rabbit cleaning care, medicating cats/dogs if needed, you name it. I currently have a Corn Snake as well as a Crested Gecko. I have been a Veterinary Receptionist for over 3 and a half years now and have a beautiful 11 month old daughter I plan to share my love of animals with. Currently working a max of 30 hours at my day job as a Veterinary Receptionist but recently have been working less. Typically I have Sundays and Tuesdays off during the week but sometimes get another random week day off depending on how busy we are at the clinic. My shifts are usually from 10-4pm or 12:30-6:30pm. Your home is their home. I will cater to your pet based on what they like or need. If they just need someone to keep them company I’m there. I will treat your space with respect and follow any instructions given. My pets are family and are treated as such so the same would go for your kiddos.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish from the ripe age of 10! I have had animals from the size of teacup yorkies to the size of Rottweilers so size doesn’t challenge me. I currently work full time Sunday-Wednesday and find myself with a lot of free time the rest of the week so I’d love to get to play and help with your best friend as much as I’m able to get I am able to follow all the rules you provide with your best friend and am able to accommodate with any requests to keep you stress free!
