“I highly recommend Lila. She did an amazing job with my three cats. She is very diligent and honest. Gustav needs a pill and she was able to give him that. Betty is very timid but she went to Lila. Lila kept me updated with texts and photos everyday. She went above and beyond. I look forward to having Lila take care of my fur babies whenever I travel!”


“10/10 recommend! Thank you for all your help Chris!”


“Even cleaned the cat dishes.”


About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including administering medication. Currently caring for my six-year-old Labrador, ensuring daily exercise and proper health care. Currently working part-time at a vet clinic. I have open availability midweek and weekends, including early mornings and late nights for flexible pet care scheduling. I have a large yard with a dog run (no fence) and a friendly 6-year-old dog. Crating is available if you provide one for me.

“Kaylee did a great job while we were far away. Our cat was in wonderful hands.”


“Megan has been great! Great at communicating both during the visit and after!”



About: My family has had dogs all of my life. I personally trained our family dog when I was between the ages of 10-12. My husband and I currently have a senior dog at home (10 year old Newfoundland) that I lovingly care for. I will be working part time (three days per week) starting in October but am currently not working for the next couple of months so I have very open availability (likely every day). I have a very friendly, docile dog (a spayed female Newfoundland) at home to keep your doggies company while staying in our home. My husband and I live in a large single family home. The house is 2 stories but we typically keep our dog on the bottom floor due to her age. All staircases have the ability to be closed off with a door. We have an unfenced yard. We have a very walkable neighborhood that allows for long walks if that is what your dog likes. I am a very active person who exercises daily so I can accommodate high energy pups! We also allow pets on the furniture if cuddling is more your dog's thing!

“I’ve used Danielle several times and would recommend her to anyone. She spends a lot of time with my dog/at my house, provides frequent updates, and leaves the house in equal or better shape then when I left it. She follows all instructions related to medicines and anything else. I know my dog is in good hands.”


“Erica was quick to reply and schedule a meet and greet. we scheduled a drop in visit/walk for our 2 dogs with her. She followed all our directions and she sent us updates and pictures!”

“Shanley has gone above and beyond the call of duty in caring for my 84 year old mom’s pugs. First, Shanley was quick to respond and communication is easy. She’s helping with a pug who is disabled and needs help walking to get outside. We appreciate Shanley’s care so much at a time of great need.”


About: I have cared for dogs throughout my life, most recently training my dog with severe separation anxiety and prey drive. Patience and commitment have been very important in my training. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs as well. I am currently working part time from home, so I have lots of flexibility. I love walking and my dog is getting older and not as active, so I would love to add more walks into my day! I am currently offering home visits for walks, feeding, and hang out time! I am comfortable with all size dogs and multiple dog homes. I house sit regularly so am very comfortable locking up and keeping an eye on the home. Making sure your pet is safe and comfortable is my top priority!

About: My family has owned dogs my entire life and I had lots of experience watching them when they were away. I'm now the owner of a sweet Min Pin named Cleo. I work part time and remotely so I should have a semi-flexible schedule. Weekends should usually be even more so! I'd be happy to work around your schedule, if possible. I'm avaliable to dogsit at your place and make sure your pup is well fed, walked, and let out for potty breaks. I am avaliable for check ins as well. I'm sure I could also accommodate any special instructions that were in the ballpark of normal pet care :)

“Gabrielle is the absolute best! Our hearts always feel good knowing she is in our home and caring for our pets. She has great communication, and is very active with our sweet pups. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!!!!!!”


About: Becoming vegan has spurred my passion for spending as much time as possible with animals: pets of friends and family, volunteering at animal sanctuaries, and pets I meet through Rover. I have been a primary caretaker for cats and dogs for ten years (up to five at a time) and have also cared for fish, birds, pigs, cows, and more. I am diligent, responsible, communicative, and care deeply about our animal companions. In my free time, I love hiking, camping, sewing, embroidery, and watching the sun rise. I bike almost everywhere, so am in good shape and can handle high-energy dogs or multiple long walks a day. I especially love sitting for homes with multiple pets. Thanks to working from home online, I'm able to spend lots of quality time with your pets in your home and take frequent breaks for walks, play, medications, or anything else they need. Vaccinated for covid, still masking in public. Vegan for the animals! My schedule is flexible and self-directed, so I can easily plan around the needs of you and your animal companions. Just let me know what you need! Note that I typically schedule no more than 4-8 weeks in advance. Notice can be as short as a few days! For short stays or drop ins, you can be assured that I am neat and tidy. Happy to remove shoes in the home and of course clean up any messes that arise. For longer housesits, I can commit to regular cleaning and tasks like taking in mail or bringing garbage to the curb for pickup.

About: I have been dog sitting for numerous different families for around four years. I adore animals and I like to think the feeling is mutual. I have always had a way with animals and love meeting new pets! I have a dog who is almost 8 years old who we got when she was 13 weeks old and I trained her. I am currently at home waiting to go to grad school to get my masters in psychology and dance therapy. I am around and would love to spend some time with animals while earning some money for school! Depending, I have stayed in families homes before for a week at a time caring for their pets and making sure they aren’t alone too long. However I can also just do drop in visits etc!

“I will definitely be using Briana again! She was very reliable and my dogs loved her. Getting report cards and pictures of my dogs playing was so fun. It’s nice to know your pets are being well taken care of!”

I will care for your four legged family member as if they are my own. I would love to meet some new pups that I can help care for.

I will take your pets on walks and play with them in your yard. Make sure they have their meals on time and are happy and entertained while youa re away.

About: Hi there! I'm Erin, a dedicated mother and lifelong animal enthusiast. With a heart full of love for all creatures great and small, I've spent most of my adult life volunteering, fostering, and caring for animals. From dogs to cats and everything in between, I've had the pleasure of nurturing and pampering a wide variety of pets. My journey into pet care started years ago when I began volunteering at local animal shelters and fostering dogs and cats in need. Over time, my passion evolved into a profession, and I've been providing top-notch pet sitting and dog walking services ever since. What sets me apart is the personal touch I bring to every interaction. As a mother, I understand the importance of family, and that includes our beloved pets. That's why I love nothing more than including my own children in our pet visits and walks. Your furry companions not only get the care and attention they deserve but also the joy of interacting with a fun-loving family. At home, our household is a bustling hub of activity, filled with the laughter and energy of children. Alongside my small and sociable Jack Russell Terrier mix and clever cat, we create a warm and welcoming environment for pets of all shapes and sizes. With experience caring for various breeds, including the majestic Great Dane, I'm well-equipped to handle the unique needs and quirks of different animals. Whether your pup needs a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or your cat requires some extra TLC while you're away, rest assured they'll be in loving and capable hands with my family. So, if you're seeking reliable and compassionate pet care services that treat your furry friends like family, look no further. Because when it comes to your pets, they deserve nothing but the best! Pet care is not just a job for me—it's my passion and my primary focus outside of being a mom and pet owner myself. With my schedule wide open and dedicated solely to pet care, I have the flexibility to tailor my daily and weekly routine to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. Each day, I prioritize spending quality time with the pets under my care, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need to thrive. Whether it's morning walks, midday visits, or evening cuddle sessions, I'm there to provide personalized care and companionship every step of the way. My wide flexibility allows me to accommodate the unique needs of each pet, whether it's administering medication, adhering to specific feeding schedules, or simply providing extra TLC for pets with special needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to create a routine that caters to their individual preferences and requirements. By limiting my bookings, I can ensure that each pet receives the care and attention they deserve without feeling rushed or overlooked. Whether it's a one-time visit or a long-term arrangement, I'm committed to providing top-notch care that exceeds both pet and owner expectations. In essence, pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's the heart of my daily life, and I'm dedicated to making sure every pet feels loved, safe, and cherished in my care. Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priorities. With a spacious 3-bedroom home and a large playroom addition, we offer a welcoming and secure environment for your furry friend to feel right at home. Whether your pet prefers the familiarity of their own surroundings or enjoys exploring new spaces, I can be flexible and accommodating to meet their needs. In our home, your pet will have plenty of room to roam and play, whether they're chasing toys, lounging in cozy corners, or enjoying some quality cuddle time. I understand that some pets may feel more comfortable in their own crates, and I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences to ensure they feel safe and secure during their stay. Outside of our home, we love to explore and embrace the great outdoors, making long evening walks around neighborhoods or adventures in the woods a regular part of our routine. Whether your pet enjoys a leisurely stroll or prefers a brisk run, we're committed to providing the exercise and stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. Whether it's a staycation in our cozy home or a familiar visit to yours, you can trust our family to provide the personalized care and attention your pet deserves. Because when your pet is with us, they're not just a guest—they're a cherished member of our family
