“Meretta did a great job taking care of my two kitties while I was gone for a while! My cats were well taken care of and bonded with her quickly. She sent great updates and pictures and I knew they were in good hands!”

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life and always been the main person to take care of them. I love taking my dogs on walks and hanging out with them! I love all animals and I think they deserve the best care that one could give! I am used to being around dogs/cats of all ages from puppies to pretty old dogs I currently do not have a job due to just coming back from college in West Virginia, so I have a very free and flexible schedule! I have a fenced yard and I have two dogs of my own that would be able to keep your pups company if needed! They are extremely friendly, however I can also keep them separate from my dogs if requested.

“Great care in making sure our cat was cared for. Our daughter lost her brush somewhere and they made sure she had one for the consequent visits since she’s a long haired cat. Pancake really enjoyed her which is great as our cat isn’t too friendly with others normally.”

About: I’ve had dogs in my home since I was 7 years old. We’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from a 6 week old puppy too a 15 year old senior. We’ve cared for many breeds. I am a stay at home mom with a 10 year old girl and a 5 year old boy. I have plenty of free time to care for, walk, and play with your dog(s). I have a loving pit bull who is a gentle giant and two cats. I have a large fenced yard. My home is very small but we make do. I also have two children who love animals. We have a black house cat and a white Maine Coon. I am a firm believer that you should care for your animals the way you care for your children. I will provide a safe and loving environment for your your furry four legged baby(s). And my kids will play fetch with them for hours on end.
“This was my first time using Rover and Kelsey was great! She was quick to respond to my inquiry. And even though she wasn't able to house sit because my request was pretty last minute, she was able to work in multiple drop in visit each day. She even managed to come over for a initial meet and greet the night before I left. She sent lots of pictures with each visit with an update how he was doing. Above and beyond feeding and potty breaks were walks (which he loves!) and snuggles. I think she loved my boy almost as much as I do! I was a bit nervous about leaving my pup, but I could see Kelsey took great care of him.”

About: I’ve had the absolute pleasure looking after numerous dogs and cats, tailoring my approach to each pets unique needs. From high-energy pups to senior friends, I’ve provided attentive care, ensuring their comfort, exercise, and happiness. I currently work and attend school remotely with a flexible schedule to take care and play with your pups or cats. I’m available both weekdays and weekends. I live in a house and have the schedule to take your dog out on long walks or runs. There are many trails that I know of that I like to go to often. I am an avid runner and hiker who is always looking for an excuse to be outside. Let me know if your pet has any specific needs or behaviors to attend to. I am comfortable with any breed or size of pet.
“Gayle was amazing with my dog! My dog gets nervous around new people, but Gayle came in and did such a great job! Sent me communications and pictures. I will definitely keep using her to help watch my pup 🥰”

About: I’ve owned many different breeds of dogs and cats since I was a little child. I love animals and believe they are apart of the family and should be treated as such! I currently have two amazing golden retrievers and a cat. We love our pets! I am currently a stay at home mom with two toddlers who also love animals! My kids are the kids that see a dog in a park and immediately make a beeline towards them. We love to spend time with our two dogs and cat. Since we spend most of our time at home, accommodations for your animals would be a breeze. Sitting on half an acre fully fenced yard, we enjoy plenty of time playing outside. Our animals are part of our family and we love to play with them and just hang out inside and outside.

About: I’ve had a lifelong passion for animals and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have years of hands-on experience owning, training, and caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, including seniors and high-energy breeds. From a young age, I began regularly walking, training, and caring for neighbors’ pets after they saw how well-mannered and happy my animals were. I’m attentive, patient, and highly observant of animal behavior, which helps me create a calm, safe environment and respond to each dog appropriately. I’m also experienced in caring for cats and am comfortable managing a variety of temperaments and routines for animals of all kinds. Providing reliable, compassionate care and giving pet parents peace of mind is something I truly value, and I love building trust with both pets and their people and creating a genuine relationship! Every morning I take the pups on a walk or run, and on every day but Tuesdays and Thursdays, I do backyard playtime in the afternoon, then every day in the evenings is indoor playtime. And on the weekends, I love to take my dogs on long hikes, to the dog park, or to go swimming! Please note that I am a student, so there will be times when they will need to be alone and unsupervised, usually kenneled, but I make it a point to expend energy before and after an absence like that so they will want to nap whilst I am away. I am very experienced in interpreting dog behavior/body language and handling stressful situations. I value honesty and transparency, and you can be sure to expect pictures and videos! :) I am willing to feed, walk, water, and brush your animals. Whatever they need, I am up for it!
About: I did housesitting for several years with my brother's St. Bernard dog as you see on my profile picture. Last year, I housesat for three cats. Recently I did housesat for a dog over spring break. I owned a dog and several cats in the past. About senior care, I owned and took care of an older cat. I'm currently working as a teacher at school which ends on May 23rd then I can do it anytime since my other job as crisis counselor allows me to work at home. I need a good WIFI. I used leash for dogs when taking them on walks. For cats, it depends on owner. Some cats are outdoors or indoors. I make sure they go potty and have play time. I know cats are super picky about their litters so poops must be scooped out. I use bag to pick up dog poop. I try to find out what animals likes to do and spend time with them.
About: I have a loving family of six with AWESOME indoor and outdoor space to take great care of your furry besties. I am home most days and nights full time. 3 of our kids homeschool, and assist with much of the work and care. I’ve cared for pets large and small, young and senior, my whole life. Our outdoor space is large and fully fenced with shade and grass to play and relax in. I can also care for pets as needed indoors in our main living spaces. My space offers many options for play, rest, and I’ll make sure they’re loved, happy, and healthy. I am home often during the day and always at night. Part of our children’s education is to learn responsibility and to work well and often in the home. Caring for others pets as a business teaches love, care, empathy, work, and so much more. Their care will be a high priority in my home! Fully fenced large backyard with lush grass and shade. Roomy indoor pet-friendly spaces. Daily exercise and play for friends with lots of energy. Many opportunities for caring human interaction.
About: My husband and I have had dogs big and small growing up so we’re very familiar with their mannerisms, behavior and unique personalities. We’ve had our own dogs for four years and love them dearly, they’re our babies! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom so I am available and pretty flexible for the most part throughout the day. My dogs help me around the house as I get things done. I have a fenced in yard with two of my own dogs to keep yours company! Occasionally I let the dogs inside to hang out and eat, or depending on the weather to keep warm/cool. At bedtime I bring them in to sleep in their dog crate.
“Very happy with Grace and Lance. They were able to come play with our dog with very little notice and flexible with a willing attitude. Even noticed the water needed filling and took care of that!”

“She was such a great fur-babysitter! She did a great job taking care of our cat while my wife and I were away for a vacation. She played with him and provided him with lots of love and attention for us! She also sent updates from every visit. We will definitely try and book her again if we have to leave him again.”
