“This is our second time booking with Shelly and she did a great job! Loved getting the update pics and you could tell our dog was happy to see her! It’s so nice to see our dog happy and enjoying herself while we are away. Thank you, Shelly!”

“Jerrica was a delight for drop in visits. She was able to step in and replace my previous sitter last minute and did an excellent job taking care of my cat. I actually think she’s a cat whisperer with how quickly she was able to make my cat comfortable and get her to play. She also looked out for my cat during a storm that knocked my power out by making sure she had multiple sources of clean water until the electricity came back on and her fountain could be used again. Was always on time and sent at least 5 photos with every visit and gave a brief summary each time, which helped this cat mama always have peace of mind. Would definitely book again!”

About: Hi. I grew up helping take care of the best family pets - our collie Lady and our cat Aladdin! I’m looking forward to providing your pet with the care and attention they deserve while you’re away. I’ll provide consistent communication about your pet’s care because your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priority I currently have a very flexible schedule as I was unfortunately part of a recent reduction in force at the last company where I worked full time. This allows me to have extra availability to walk dogs, do drop in visits and house sitting while I'm researching my next full time employment opportunity. Ensuring I provide a comfortable and happy environment in a consistent and safe manner are always my top priorities for all my client’s pets.
“Courteney has dropped in multiple times and for multiple days to care for our elderly cat as we have traveled far and wide. We have never worried about our kitty while we were away and Courteney was on duty. She is extremely dependable, trustworthy, stays in contact regularly, and is sensitive to animals' temperament and moods. I highly recommend her without reservation!”

About: I have been watching since I was 20 years old. I watched friends dogs, siblings dogs and I used to have a Jack Russell beagle mix. His name was Milo. I work Monday through Friday, but I drove a truck. I’m on the road all day so I have the ability to come home. Check on the animals play with them. Feed them walk them throughout the day. I usually get off at 4 PM. No matter if I’m in some ways home or the animals are at my house I love to go out for walks with dogs and play with pets in general pet them. Let them sit on my life and just spend time with them so they never feel lonely.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for around four years, with friends or neighbors who need me to take care of them for weeks or just visit their homes to feed them and go for a walk Normally my schedules are very organized, I just have to look when it is available and verify the dates to have a good schedule everyone. It always depends on the special indications of each pet, but usually it also goes hand in hand with the personality of the pet. It is important not to make her uncomfortable and to be able to gain her trust over time.
“Shelby once again took amazing care of our two kitties over the holiday! We got updates and photos from each visit, and we appreciate how she takes the time to really play with them each drop in.”

“She is awesome! Very fast communication, took great care of my dog and gave him love, he looked so happy in all the pics! I will definitely be having you take care of him next time if I ever need!”

“Rachel is fantastic and very flexible for my needs. Will definitely use her again in the future. Highly recommended. No problems at all efficient courteous, and an invaluable help with my crazy work schedule.”

“? our little guy Max fell in love with Jackie the moment they met. She worked well with our short notice, and was the first stranger we’ve ever let watch Max while we were away and we are glad to have met her. Looking forward to using her as Maxis doggo sitter again!”

“Lacey did great with our two dogs. Even after not seeing her for a few months, Lacey was easily able to get them comfortable with her in their space. Lacey is awesome!”


“Renata was perfectly on time and sent pictures of everything Snoopy did. I really appreciated her stopping by on Monday to meet myself and Snoopy as well. She is very sweet to Snoopy. I will definitely try her first when we need a puppy sitter again!”
“Caitlyn did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was very kind with her, and left detailed updates and pictures each day. I would definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember! I grew up dog-sitting for neighbors and can provide a lot of experience when it comes to caring for your pet(s). I work Monday through Friday, so I’m aiming to sit on the weekends. But if you don’t mind that I’m gone during the day on weekdays, I’m happy to sit for you anytime of the week. I have a large fenced in yard for potty breaks and usually do at least one long walk a day. My cat has her own room where she stays (separate from dogs) when I’m not home or if there is a need to keep her separate. Dogs are welcome in the bed and on couches!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was very young. I currently have a 14 year old beagle/cattle dog and 12 year old Pomeranian. My Pomeranian had three litters of puppies, so I also have experience with that as well. Additionally, one of my dogs previously was special needs, so I do have experience there and giving medications I’m currently working part time, so I will be available to assist during the week and some weekends/holidays. The best hours for me are between 9am and 3pm weekly, but just ask and I can try to accommodate your schedule I initially had an apartment with my first dog and understand the importance of keeping your pet on a leash, as well as picking up after them. As a home owner, I see the importance of allowing your pet to wander in a safe environment, while maintaining a watchful eye
“Rebecca is WONDERFUL! She took care of our two cats while we were traveling recently and she really put our minds at ease. She stopped by to meet the cats before our trip so I could go through all the things with her. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you, Rebecca!”

“This was our first time using Rover and I was so nervous. Sherry went above and beyond for both me and my pets and put my mind completely at ease. She was punctual, Very responsive, and left detailed updates after each visit. Elli fell in love with her immediately and even the scared cat Nandor ended up making friends! Highly recommended!”

Carla was truly a lifesaver for me and my cats! She did an amazing job taking care of them and even managed to win over my shy and sometimes very grumpy girl. She was excellent with letting me know how they were doing and was so thoughtful and brought in packages that were delivered for me. I could not recommend her enough!
