“Tony was great. He took care of our very stubborn dog while we were out of town for Christmas. He was punctual and communicated with us after every visit. He also left us yummy cookies!”
“Linnea was amazing! She showed up when she said she would, sent pictures of my cat and wrote the sweetest notes! Best of all she took great care of my kitty. Definitely recommend.”


About: Throughout my childhood I have owned and raised dogs of all sizes. I also have experience with working at a barn where I gained hands-on experience with daily animal care routines and ensuring the well-being of many animals including cats. I genuinely love all animals and enjoy taking care of them. I am a college student returning home for the summer and I’m planning to make pet care my full-time focus. I have a very flexible schedule and can be available most days and times. I’m responsible, reliable and committed to making this my top priority. You can count on me to be consistent and dependable when caring for your dog. At home I have three large dogs and a fenced in backyard for my high-energy dogs. My dogs are fed twice a day and receive daily vitamins and medications with their meals.
“Declan clearly dedicates his time making sure our dog is mentally and physically engaged during his visits, which is not an easy feat with an energized 6mo lab! We are very grateful to have an enthusiastic and experienced handler like Declan around.”


About: Hi! I’m J’Kiyah, a huge animal lover who has years of experience caring for dogs of family and friends. I love making sure pets feel safe( happy, and well cared for while away from their owners. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have lots of availability for dog walks during the week. I enjoy getting outside for walks and exercise, so dog walking fits naturally into my daily routine. I do not currently offer boarding but in my home I walk, feed and play with my dog daily. I also help my friends with their pets.
“I appreciated Sydneys prompt response to my initial inquiry and questions/messages. She was flexible on short notice to come to meet us and do a drop in the next day. Followed all instructions (in my way too long note), checked in, sent pictures and all was well with my pup on return. Sydney is nice, mature and trustworthy. She is just starting out on Rover so for just figuring all that out — she was great. Sometimes I look for a lot of reviews but glad I gave Sydney a try for sure. Don’t hesitate — I recommend Sydney and I’ll book with her again!”


“I had Carla come let my dog out when I had a busy day. It happened to be raining so she took him on a walk and for a car ride. She spent much more time with him than I had anticipated and he loved it! It was great to know that I could go to work and he was being well taken care of and wasn't stuck in his kennel all day!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was probably around ten years old. Making sure they are fed, played with, and petted are all ways to show them they are pampered and loved, and that’s something I strive to do! I work a part time job, but I can always do my best to make my schedule flexible. The only unchanging thing I have is going to the gym for about an hour, but I will always come right back! My service is completely up to you! If your furry friend needs to go in the kennel for a little bit, I can do that. If he or she needs to be walked for an hour every day, I can absolutely do that as well. Once again, my service ends wherever you need it to!
About: I’m an 18-year-old pet sitter who has grown up caring for animals my entire life, including fish, hamsters, cats, and dogs. I’ve independently managed feeding, cleaning, exercise, and overall care for my pets while balancing school, athletics, and work. Through this experience, I’ve learned to be responsible, attentive, and patient, always making sure animals are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I give my own. I’ve taken care of my neighbors dog during the day or throughout the night, watched my grandparents cats and dogs by stopping by periodically, and brought my friends dog to the groomer and vet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I’ve grown up caring for animals my whole life. On a daily basis, I make time for feeding, fresh water, cleaning, playtime, and monitoring each pet’s behavior and health. Weekly routines include deeper cleaning, grooming, and making sure pets get consistent exercise and attention. I manage this around school and athletics. I care for pets by following a consistent routine that meets each animal’s individual needs, whether in my home or a client’s home. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, and receive plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I carefully follow any instructions provided, including dietary needs, medication, or specific routines, to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. This is just the same as I do at home everyday for my own pets!😊

“Sherry did a wonderful job with our two senior cats. We love our cats dearly, but they are troubled and not the friendliest cats around. Sherry handled them beautifully. She spent time with them, she was kind to them, and she even got them to warm to her, which isn’t an easy task. Sherry was responsive to me when I messaged her and came through with daily reports of our cats, as promised. I have had many pet sitters NOT do that, even when I have asked for this. When we came home from our trip, the cats were content. Sherry did everything we asked and a great job too. It’s nice to know that you have a trustworthy person in your house, caring for your pets, while you are away. Overall, I highly recommend Sherry.”
About: I've loved and taken care of animals, especially dogs, my entire life. From a young age, I would walk and take care of my neighbors pets for them.

I would love to help you when in need of some additional care for your own fur babies and you can be assured that I will give your beloved pet the care and attention they deserve and require while you are away. I am experienced with many different breeds and personality types and am confident administering medicine if/when necessary. I have a flexible work schedule and have the availability to help you with your pets needs whenever you may need. I am available daily. I will come let your pets out and walk them/provide them with exercise at your residence. I will be sure to provide your dog with loving care and attention specific to their needs. Whether they love walks, fetch, tug, or just need some company while you are away, I will ensure that your fur baby receives fabulous care in your absence.

We couldn’t be happier to have found Sarah to take care of our dog and cat. They instantly felt comfortable with her during our meet and greet, and so did we. Our Great Dane who is very slow to accept new people took to her right away. Sarah is perceptive and understands animal behavior. She took excellent care of our pets, doing everything as we would. She spent time with them, giving them lots of love, and pampered them with their favorite treats. She kept us informed with summaries of each of their visits along with adorable pictures of them each time. She made our getaway stress-free and definitely went above expectations. We highly recommend Sarah!
