“Amanda takes great care of our dog family with pictures and feedback of her visit while she's there. We feel so good being away and knowing they are in her care.”



“My cat absolutely loves Ashley. She takes very good care of her and I never hesitate to request her and only her when I’m going out of town. Thank you for taking such great care of my baby.”


“Alexandria is always so wonderful with our cat. This time around, she had the added task of administering medicine, and she had no problems whatsoever. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve had a dog in the home since I was 8 years old, and since moving from my parents I’ve helped with caring for their current dog. If I didn’t live in an apartment, I’d have a dog myself. I love walks, and scooping poop doesn’t scare me! In my eyes, Dogs are members of the family. Pet care is a part of my daily routine. Pet care is more than just replacing water and feeding, it’s playtime, engagement and grooming as well. Maximizing the amount of time spent with animals is important, even if they are considered “low maintenance”. I am very affectionate with animals, and careful with how I speak/act around them. Animals are to be treated with care and respect. I am comfortable with letting dogs out to go to the bathroom/play, playing with them indoors and/or outdoors and walking them. I am able to feed animals, and provide treats. I am also able to follow instructions in regard to commands. With cats, I can feed them, play with them and change the litter box. I am also comfortable brushing animals, cleaning ears and administering most medications.

“Jess took amazing care of our dogs while my wife was working long hours and I was out of the country. Highly recommend, we will ask for her help again the next time we need it. Thank you, Jess.”


“She was excellent with all my fur babies and was willing to work with a last minute schedule.”


About: I have had dogs of all sizes my whole life. I have raised and trained two service dogs. We now have a rescue and have gained experience with skittish, anxious dogs. I work full time as an occupational therapist. I am available most weekends for sitting in my home. I also occasionally work weekends and then have days off during the week, so I would be available for limited daytime sitting. I have two friendly labs that are well socialized and love play dates! I would treat your dog as my own. I will follow all instructions to ensure I am meeting your dogs needs.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and my first job as a tween was pet sitting for neighbors during their vacations. My fur babies who preceded our current dogs ranged from Reggie, the dachshund, to Maxwell, the Lab-shepherd mix who was rescued from a fire, Blackie, a retriever-terrier mix, Chubbs, a Lab-Blue Tick Coonhound mix, and Pepper, a Lab -Great Pyrenees mix who my husband and I adopted as seniors. My current dogs are Jake who is an adult Coonhound mix rescue adopted in Tennessee and Kiba, a Husky-Great Pyrenees mix who is a rescue and recovering escape artist. I’ve trained all of our dogs to “potty” directly into a bag while walking. The neighbors appreciate that. As a former paramedic, I have the skills to administer medications and medical care, as well to deal with any emergencies. Our dogs have known that I treat them well, but that I am no “pushover”. In our house, I’m the “General”! I don’t need to speak a command. When Jake or Kiba see the stern look and folded arms, they know to pay attention. I’ve also had a cat, fish, frogs, a turtle, a rabbit, Guinea pigs and even chameleons! I love all animals and would love spending time with yours. I work from home when not traveling on business (usually one week per month), so I am available during all hours, and on weekends for your pet’s care. Because of the flexibility of my work schedule, mainly working from home, I am available to work with YOUR schedule and give your pet the attention he/she deserves!

“Took such good care of my boy while my now husband and I were getting married. The sweetest to both Duke and Frog!”

About: I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages! I have worked with small dogs including Tea Cup Yorkies and bigger dogs including Cane Corsos. Potty training puppies is no problem for me as I actually enjoy it! There's nothing sweeter than helping and watching puppies learn this whole life thing.

My dog and any pet in my care is not left alone for more than 3 hours at a time. Walks are every 3-4 hours or as needed.

My dog has free roam of the house but I do have a crate and gate to limit areas for roaming if necessary.

Kolby W.
“I would highly recommend Kolby. I was going on vacation and could not take my dog(who to me is like my baby) I have never left him in anyone’s care before. A family member was to watch him but got sick so was not able to do so. I was very reluctant to try Rover but my husband said we could not cancel our trip. Needless to say Kolby was wonderful! She allowed me to FaceTime her and also sent me pics every day I was gone. When I went to pick up my dog he didn’t even want to leave. I felt such relief that I found someone I can trust and someone who makes my dog happy. I will definitely be using only Kolby for all my pet sitting needs. She has a magic touch when it comes to animals.”
