“Tracy was able to fill in when my original cat sitter fell through, and did a fantastic job. I received timely twice-daily reports, and my cat was thrilled to be able to spend the week at home.”
“Edmy and Craig did a great job caring our cat while we were out of town and kept us updated with pictures. We felt confident he was in good hands and we will use them again.”
“Tessa is a gem. Loki loved her during the “meet and greet”, as she was playing with him and petting him. She followed our instructions and took excellent care of him. We look forward to the next time she can watch him!”
“Thank you so much Barbie! We can tell Meredith Grey was well tended to while we were away. We will definitely use you again in the future if we plan to be away for a bit! I will be using the Rover app to leave you a tip a.s.a.p. Happy spring! Kathy and Scott Howard”
“Holli accommodated a late request to let my puppy out in the morning and afternoon as well as spend an hour at each visit with her. Holli took great care of my puppy! She messaged me updates and pictures.”
“Lindsey was just the best with our 2 cats! She was always right on time and gave us great updates and photos of our babies. She even successfully administered medicine (not always an easy task). Highly recommend!”
About: For my career I am a zookeeper taking care of all types of species from young to old. I have provided medical care and geriatric care. I currently work full time as a zookeeper and am looking for some side work that encompasses my passion of animals. Pet care is my full time job and full time home life. My pets have a fenced yard, an in/out kennel that allows them the freedom to be in or outside all day long. They have heat in the winter in the kennel and fans/fresh air in the summer. They stay in our home when we are home.
“Samantha was thorough, professional, and was kind to my cat. She got everything done as I had asked and sent very nice updates about how the visit went. Would recommend and would rebook!”
“Amara was so kind and helped watch my cat at the last minute! She always spends time with her and sends lots of cute update photos and videos. 🩷 I trust her to look out for Nyx!”
About: Hello everyone! I’m happy to be of service for you and your animals. I have many years of experience with dogs. I grew up with animals in my childhood home and am very comfortable with animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I have trained, raised and cared for several dogs myself. Daisy was a golden retriever, Zoe was my golden rough collie mutt, Molly was my 10-lb mutt, Charlie was my very sick mutt, Jess was my hyper husky blue heeler mutt, and now I have Frida. Frida is a sweet girl who loves to work. She is a border collie Australian Shepard mutt who came with me from ND. We are working on learning tricks and trying our hand at herding. Yes when I am with your dog we will work on basic obedience, manners, games, and tricks if you should like. I also have some experience with cats and would love more experience. I fostered a very sick kitten last year and have been around lots of friends’ and families’ cats. If there should be other animals that I have not worked with before, I would be happy to learn how to do so. And I would take my time to ensure I follow your care instructions thoroughly. Looking forward to helping you while you are away! Services in your home - you can rest assured knowing you have an extremely responsible and dependable person in your space. I will be respectful of your things and wishes. I will take extra care to follow your instructions precisely. I do have a dog of my own, which presents a unique challenge. I can offer you a significantly lower rate if you want me to stay in your home and you allow Frida to be with me. Otherwise she will be kenneled in the car while I am in your home. It’s no problem either way! Love, Erin and Frida 💕 I am currently working part time, so lots of time to watch your animals and love on them. I would love to be able to watch your pets full time. So I am working on filling up my calendar. Let’s see where this can take me. In my home I have a six foot fenced yard and a border collie policing the yard haha. I have one large wire kennel and one medium sized wire kennel that will house your dog should I need to run a quick errand. When I am in your home, I will be responsible and respectful. I will follow your house rules and keep your babies safe, loved, and cared for.
“Evan is AMAZING! She is warm and friendly and trustworthy, and I was so thankful to have met her. She took such amazing care of Gracie, and I appreciated her spending time with her during the holidays. She is going to be our go-to person!”
About: I've had dogs of all sizes my whole life. From a Yorkie to a 180 pound Saint Bernard! I have taken some basic dog handling care classes and even work in the local shelter with the cats. I'm currently working full time, so I would show up in the morning to check on the animal, during my lunch break if I can, and once I'm off work I would show up as well. Every visit with the animal, I check their eyes, nose, and ears to make sure they aren't getting sick and I also take the morning to care for their food and water needs.
“My 2 cats were nervous and hid under the bed when she came to visit. She worked with them and spent time earning their trust. She sent pictures each day. and her communication relieved much stress from leaving my cats for a week.”

About: Hi, I’m Joey! :) As a recent college graduate and a pre-dental student, I’ve always been dedicated and hardworking in everything I do. Now, I bring that same level of commitment to caring for dogs. I'm a new dog owner to a lovable cavapoo named Levi, and I understand the importance of providing not just basic care, but genuine love and attention. Though I'm fairly new to dog ownership, I’m not new to being around dogs—I’ve always been passionate about animals and have spent years helping friends and family with their pets. I'm kind, respectful, and I’ll treat your furry friend like they’re my own. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or just some extra attention, I’m here to make sure your dog feels happy and loved. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I am currently working part time so feel free to check in anytime. I am almost always free evenings during the weekday and anytime on the weekends. I live in a studio apartment with a small cavapoo (10lbs) that loves other dogs. There is lots of grassy areas around and a close entrance to part of the Monon trail. I also have been a care taker for pets with over 100 five star reviews.
