“I've only used Ciara as my Rover for my Pup and couldn't give a better review. Always sends multiple pictures of what Gracie is up to when she stops in. My dog always seems happy in the pictures and happy when I get home which is all I can ask for. She has also been very flexible when trips have gotten cut short or end up running long. Highly recommended!”


“Tara always takes extra special care of our cat who is a bit needy! She always makes him feel so loved and we don’t have to worry about him one bit when we’re out of town and she’s taking care of him!”


“It was wonderful to have Katelyn take care of our pups on the most anxiety provoking day of the year for dogs, 4th of July. Katelyn put us our worries at ease with her communication and photos. She clearly loves animals and has a gift for making them feel safe and loved.”

“Maggie was a great sitter and took excellent care of my fur babies. She even managed to charm my dog who doesn't like or trust strangers. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my canine kids were being well taken care of. Would book again and highly recommend.”


“Erin did a great job, even picking up last minute with our 4 fur babies during Derby 🐎 week. Both dogs and cats were well taken care of, she even brought packages in for us. We received multiple daily photos along with the written updates and felt every thing was under control. Highly recommend, and hope to be able to use Erin again when the need arises.”



About: I work from home (even pre-pandemic) with my terrier mix assistant, Mochi. I have many years of experience with dogs, as pets and as a volunteer at a local animal shelter. Not currently accepting new clients, as Mochi is now a grumpy old man and not interested in new friends. Why I love dog sitting I have had a dog since I was a child. I have always loved dogs, especially rescues. Having another dog or two around gives my dog a chance to socialize & play while I work. (Otherwise he just sits in my lap or at my feet) About my yard We have a large fenced backyard to play in, to chase squirrels, & for potty breaks, but also take walks around the neighborhood.

“Olivia took great care of our two kitties while we were out of town! She was professional, prompt in communication, always on time, and a pleasure to interact with! We will book again and we highly recommend her!!”


“Betsy is so reliable. Our flight today was late and she added an extra visit within minutes. Thanks so much. Our kitties are always well taken care of.”


“Jessica has been wonderful! She has had many drop in visits with my puppy and is always on time/communicative. She does a great job with my puppy and is always professional. Highly reccomend.”


“Athena was tremendous with my cat while I was gone for an extended trip. She took care of his needs and was very communicative. I would definitely book Athena for future cat-sitting needs.”


About: Hi! I have one really sweet golden retriever, she is almost three! We love too take long walks and find different parks too play! I would love to get the opportunity to meet your fur baby/babies! Feel free to reach out with any questions 😊 I’m working part time currently! So I have tons of free time to provide the best pet care! I’m free a lot of weekends and every morning and afternoon throughout the week! I take safety and trust in the clients home as my number one! I want nothing more than to get too know and take care of your fur babies in the safest and happiest way possible!

About: I have experience with dogs of all kinds. One thing that separates myself from other dog walkers is that I treat each pet how I would treat my own and I treat my own like my kids. My goal is to provide the same care for your dogs as I expect for mine. Pet care is a major part of my daily and weekly routine since I own a dog walking/sitting business. I am almost always available to meet my clients needs for their furry companions. The only times when I am not available is when I am coaching basketball. Unfortunately, I do not care for pets at my home. However, when caring for pets in your home I will keep them on the exact routine as they are accustomed to to make them as comfortable as possible.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to understand their unique personality, routines, and needs. I have had many animals of my own my whole life along with pet sitting for many family members, friends, and neighbors. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have worked in a vet office for over a year now and with my hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, I’m trained to handle everything from shy rescues to high-energy pups. Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly life — not just a job, but a commitment I truly enjoy. I build my schedule around my clients’ pets to ensure consistency, comfort, and reliability. Caring for pets in their own home keeps their environment consistent and stress-free. I follow your pet’s regular schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, and medication. I stick to your instructions for house rules, routines, and preferences. I tidy up after myself (and your pet), water plants, bring in mail, and keep your home secure. I provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities.

“Valerie was absolutely phenomenal. She helped out when I was in a last minute pitch, and couldn’t have been nicer and easier to communicate with even with my last minute request and with delayed responses on my end due to traveling. She also took the sweetest pictures of my two pups and took wonderful notes about what they did while she was with them. Couldn’t be happier, thank you Valerie! I would recommend this sitter to anyone :)”


“Emily is great. Super nice, flexible, attentive to our dog, took lots of notes, and asked lots of great questions to ensure their time together went smoothly. She even thought to look ahead to the weather and ask about rain protocol for walking the dog. We’ll definitely book again!”


About: I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and am very good with communication. I will keep you in the loop and send photos daily! I only work 6 hour days during the week and am available from 8-11 for walking or pet care. My weekends are pretty open and I am very flexible. I like to love on the pets that I care for and spend as much time with them as possible. I love when they sleep in the bed with me but will of course cater to your pets individualized needs and routine!
