“Laura is amazing with our doggie! She gives her lots of love while we are out of town, and treats her as if she was her own dog. We will definitely keep scheduling with her. You will like her with your doggies too!”

About: I grew up with a dog and have since provided pet sitting services for neighbors and friends. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I currently volunteer at the county dog shelter, where I work with dogs of all temperaments, including shy or nervous pets who need extra time to warm up to new people. Being very active myself, I’m also comfortable handling strong dogs who tend to pull during walks. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pups while you're away on trips or at work! I work a typical 9-to-5 schedule and primarily work from home, which allows me to take breaks and visit or walk your pets frequently throughout the day. I currently don't have any pets of my own, so your pet will receive my full attention while in my care. I am happy to meet before booking to see if I am the right fit for your pet!
“Kayla has been truly awesome with watching my cats! She is diligent in sending daily Rover Cards with photos, and letting me know how things are going! I trust her completely with my pets!”
About: I have watched a variety of dogs, including large, small, and puppies. I have two dogs at home, one is 10 and the other is 2. I care for both of them all the time and I am experienced walking and house sitting. I working part time, so I will be watching dogs in my free time! I currently have a very flexible schedule, but please message me to determine my exact availability. I will take great care of your dogs in your home, while being respectful of your space and pets. I have LOTS of cleaning experience in case of an accident :)
“I was so relieved to have found Madison. My senior rescue cat is incredibly afraid of anyone new, but I knew it was a good sign when she sniffed Madison when she reached out to her! She was gentle with her. It gave me peace of mind to see photos of my little fuzzball when I was away (even when she was hiding). I’ll definitely ask for Madison’s help again in the future.”
“Alex was wonderful! Very responsible and reliable. Everything I requested for the care of my cat was done exactly as I hoped. It also seemed like my cat enjoyed the interactions and was very comfortable during the visits. I would definitely recommend Alex to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Brittany took great care of our cats! They are both older and have special needs. I felt comfortable leaving them in her care and enjoyed the pictures she took.”
About: I’ve had plenty experience caring for pets since I was young. It started off with family friends, neighbors, etc and now I’m several of their first resorts when they need someone to care for their animals! I have the most experience with adult age animals but have had some experiences with puppies/kittens and a few senior animals. I am currently on Summer break so I have more free time than usual, but just let me know what you need and we can work it out! I always appreciate and respect any rules you may have for your pet or that have to do with your household, in fact I tend to prefer it to make sure there’s no confusion or miscommunication on either end! I find it makes the owners feel more reassured and gives a better overall experience!
About: I grew up with cats and dogs and have helped friends and family with pet sitting before, don’t have any of my own right now I work online part time and have plenty of time to care for pets etc when I’m not actively engaged in something time sensitive now I have a yard in a secluded corner of the west side right next to a large field with plenty of room to run and play
“Max did an amazing job house sitting our cats! They went above and beyond, watering our garden, and cleaning the house before we got back. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Thank you Max!”
“Great cooperation and communication, took very good care of my rabbit!”
“Maya was awesome with our cat! We got daily updates and videos of how he was doing and she even left us new treats and a toy at the end of the week. Will definitely ask Maya for help in the future if we need need someone to watch Lincoln again! Thank you Maya!!”
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 10. My neighborhood frequently go to me when they need a dog/cat sitter for a week and I'm used to going over as many times as needed. I'm patient and have had puppies growing up. This job is exciting for me because I genuinely love and care for all animals. I find that they brighten my day and I'm prepared to help my community take care of their pets. I'm about to graduate and have plenty of free time throughout my weekdays and weekends that I'm not out of town for soccer. I'll have lots of flexible times so I'm confident my schedule will work for many. I have a golden doodle named Stanley that loves to play and run around my yard he is a friendly giant that my neighborhood has all come to love. He loves walks and going for car rides.
About: Hi! Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From high-energy puppies to slow-paced seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — each one with their own quirks and needs. Whether your pup needs daily walks, playtime in the yard, belly rubs, medication, or a consistent routine while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. I’m confident, calm, and attentive — and I always treat pets like they’re my own. I understand how hard it can be to leave your dog behind, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, an overnight stay, or a week of care, I’m here to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. Let’s make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at home — even when you’re not. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets — whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Because I’m not tied to a full-time job, I’m able to adjust my availability based on each pet’s needs. I make sure to build my day around their routines, so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for — just like they would with you. Whether it’s one-on-one playtime, regular feeding schedules, or keeping up with medications, I take the time to make sure everything runs smoothly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels familiar and comforting. In your home: I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding and walk times to their favorite spots to nap. I keep everything clean, secure, and consistent, so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep you updated with regular photos and messages. In my home: I offer a pet-safe, cozy space where your dog (or cat, depending on needs) will get one-on-one attention and feel like part of the family. I maintain a clean environment with plenty of play, rest, and cuddle time. If your pet has special needs or routines, I’m happy to accommodate them — from crate training to medication schedules. No matter where the care happens, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, affection, and full attention to their emotional and physical well-being.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for my family and friends since I was about 5 or 6 years old. Mainly a dog person but I’m also cat friendly. Pretty much a born and raised Ace Ventura and Dr. Doolittle. Currently in school for Environmental Biology to become a wildlife, fish and game warden. I’m free anytime to walk or drop in Monday thru Friday 10am to 6pm and Weekends Noon to 4pm. When I was back home I’d always keep the bowls filled with fresh water and food. Made sure the doggo’s were getting plenty of play time outdoors and would take them on walks around the neighborhood, sometimes even on a little jog to keep them exercised.
“What a great sitter! So professional and kind with my babies! Took great care and went above and beyond! Will certainly use Danielle again and again!”
About: As a dog owner, I know how important it is to rest assured that our pets are happy and healthy. Aside from providing the basics of food & fresh water, medication, and potty breaks. I also provide activities catered to your dog's energy level and personality. I can take your pup on short or long walks, play fetch in the back yard, or take your dog to a dog park. For dogs who are not fond of going for walks, we can enjoy playing with toys indoors or just enjoying each other's company. I'd be happy to keep you updated on your dogs day with a picture or log of our daily activities. My experience also includes caring for dogs suffering from anxiety and epilepsy.
