“Bonnie did a great job watching our young cat! She took the time to make sure our kitty had everything she needed and sent us pictures which we really appreciated as it was our first time using Rover! Would definitely recommend for a cat sitter!”
“Jess was friendly, communicative, and accommodating for our somewhat last-minute request for our cats’ drop-in visits! She shared updates and photos that let us know our pets were well taken care of while we were out-of-state. Would highly recommend - thank you, Jess!”
About: Ever since I was a child, I have dog and cat sat for family, friends, and neighbors. During college my friends with pets always knew they could trust me to watch them!😊 My family got our first dog when I was in the 4th grade. I was his primary care taker: making sure to feed him, give him water, let him out, and take him on walks. I have three pets of my own who I love dearly; two cats Cheddar and Brie, and a rabbit named Bunny❤️ I have summers off so I am available to check on or walk animals during the week days! I can also do pet sitting and check ins or walks on the weekends according to my availability!😊 When working with your animal(s) I will follow any instructions given to make sure that your pets are safe and comfortable. When I am with them they will have all of my care and attention.
“We had such a great experience with Caitlin! She watched our two cats while we were out of town and did a fantastic job. She was responsible, reliable and clearly cared for our pets sending us photos of them daily. We came home to happy, well-cared for cats. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet-sitter!”
About: For the last 21 years our home has collected experience with animals with the focus on safety and special care. I worked as a vet tech the first half of my careers life. The last 10 years or so I've worked lightly as a tech but also as a foster coordinator with a major rescue. I help teach new fosters how to safely manage, handle and even train dogs new to a home and make sure they know ways to keep there dog safe. Our home specializes in those that need extra understanding, health care or time to settle in. Dogs are our homes life. We already work around dog care schedules and appropriate trips outside all the time. I'm home all but 2 days a week and provide most mid-day walks and play time. Safety is a big factor in our home. We have years of learning and perfecting dog introductions when boarding and our dogs are very used to new guests coming in and out. When caring for dogs in my own yard but also when providing care at the owners home I always use safe leash handling skills. We dont have a fence so being aware of open doors and guests coming or going is something our whole home is always mentally aware of and our whole focus is keeping our guests safe.
About: I have had cats basically my whole life and I currently have a dog at my parents house. I have dog sat a few times for my neighbors dog. I currently am looking for dogs to walk in the late afternoon as well as dog to walk/ sit on the weekends. I am also available all day Friday! I treat all pets like they are my own. I care about the safety and living of all animals. I am patient and caring and I put those skills into my work with animals.

Summers I have plenty of time to spend and play with your fur babies. Weekends I am pretty busy but can make time to spend with your pets. I have a big 4 acre yard with the ability to crate or leash your dog if needed. I have two cats in my home and my family has 3 dogs in their home on the property. I am willing to work on training and work around a feeding schedule if needed. I am very flexible and am willing to do what will make your pet the most happy.
“Jade was great about letting me know when she was coming over based on her work schedule, which we had discussed when I was making the decision to have her take care of my cats. She provided pictures and was excellent at letting me know when she was able to come over as well as when she visited. As this trip was over Memorial Day weekend, I truly appreciated her willingness to work with my requests. I will plan on having Jade take care of my cats again when we travel!”

Gretta K.
“Gretta is a wonderfully responsible caregiver! She helped me train my six month old pitbull, Bella. Bella was quite the high energy puppy, but Gretta was able to work with her. She has quieted down since then, and I couldn’t be more grateful! Gretta worked with Bella for five weeks, and came over to my house three days out of the week. She is incredibly trustworthy, and a loving pet caregiver. She also owns and works with her own dog, Chevy! I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
