“Melissa is simply amazing. We have re-booked her over 10 times for home visits and home sitting our pet, Scott. We all were going on an international trip of ~10 days and we were worried since this was the first time we using someone’s services to stay at home and take care of Scott. Punctuality is Melissa’s virtue and Scott was absolutely comfortable with her. All those 10 days, we were very peaceful and Melissa ensured, with pictures and videos of Scott, that we were always in touch! A very big shout out to Melissa for a fantastic service!”

We highly recommend Kaileigh to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for giving us peace of mind while we were away!”

About: I’ve been around dogs of all shapes and sizes for most of my life, and honestly, I think they’ve raised me more than I’ve raised them. When people say there’s nothing better than a dog, they’re absolutely right unless that dog just ate your sandwich or rolled in something “mysterious” at the park. Still, I’d do anything to give my dogs the best life possible. They've brought me so much joy, unconditional love, and a healthy fear of leaving food unattended. Some of my best memories (and worst carpet stains) have come from having them by my side. Availability: August 17 - August 24 Friday: 7:30 PM – 11:00 PM Saturday: Open Availability Sunday: Open Availability Availability: August 25 - August 31 Friday: 7:30 PM – 11:00 PM Saturday: Open Availability Sunday: Open Availability Available September 1st As a dedicated dog owner, I am always fully aware of my dogs' locations at all times. No matter the service request, I will prioritize their safety above everything else. Their well being is my top priority, and I am committed to ensuring they are secure and protected in every situation.

“John was excellent. He went above and beyond in every respect. We give our highest recommendation. John not only was very conscientious with our 2 dogs but also cleaned up our yard after the storm, hung our flag and fixed our trellis! We will definitely be booking again!”


“Where do I even begin with Sharon- she is just SO INCREDIBLE!!!!!! We went out of town for 5 days and this is the first time we used Rover. Sharon came over to our home twice before we left to meet our animals and to go over all of the details. I was a little nervous about leaving our furbabies but let me tell you, I was so comfortable with Sharon taking care of them knowing they were in loving hands. Sharon sent me photos and updates of them every day and exceeded all expectations. I will forever use Sharon to watch our babies, they absolutely loved her!!! My skiddish scared cat even came out to greet her which never happens with anyone. Sharon is such a sweet, respectful person and I could not recommend Her enough. ❤️”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little! I grew up with a golden retriever named Emma. Now, I have 2 pups of my own! Maggie (11 y/o, terroir mix, adopted) & Molly (2 y/o, teddy bear mix, bought). I trained Molly in puppy school & did in home training between both pups in order for them to get along! I’m currently in school & working part time. I have random open periods during the day that can be used to take care of your pups! Please message me for more details about availability. No fenced yard; however, I have very long leashes & heavy duty poles that screw into the ground outside so that my pups can run freely without a fence. I also live next to a nice park with some fenced dog parks! The park also includes multiple trails, including paved and nature trails. Due to owning an adopted dog with past abuse and anxiety (which is now well controlled by training and overall healing in a loving and safe environment like my own) I do not offer in home care just in case my adopted pup is startled by the presence of another dog. Because of this, I am willing to travel for pup sitting and services!

“Tricia watched our girls for our wedding night & we couldn’t be more grateful that we found her! She came to do a meet and greet with the girls about a week before & we knew right away they would be in the best hands! We couldn’t be more thankful for her taking such good care of them!”


About: I am a pet parent to a mixed breed dog who is 14 years old, a 20 year-old Bengal cat and a 7 year-old Siamese cat. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have plenty of experience caring for them. I am recently retired so I have the time to take care of your pet(s) when you need a reliable dog/cat sitter or dog walker. I can come to your home for house sitting, drop-in visits and/or dog walking. I understand the stress of leaving your pets home alone while you are at work or away on vacation and the importance of finding someone who will care for them while you are away from home.

About: I started dog walking when I was in the 6th grade in order to earn some cash as a first job. Since then I have walked and cared for dogs quite often, staying over night in houses as well to give them my full attention. Currently, I am home during the week and am available at all hours of the week days. I have three dogs of my own; a westie, a bassethound, and a standard poodle. All of my dogs are exceptional around other dogs, I have never had a problem woth their behavior when I bring other dogs home to watch. I have a grass yard with plenty of space for them to run. I will give all dogs my full attention and love as I care for them, ensuring that they are not alone while their owner is away. I work from home full time and love the animal breaks! I take walks to break up my work day and love to bring a dog or two with me! I value my little fur baby and having her around throughout the day, and since I am home your pet can get endless potty breaks just like mine! I have a huge fenced yard and a very playful GSD. I’m also pretty athletic and can play with your animals as much as they need. I can come to your home for a walk and a play break as well. My care includes my GSD hanging out with me all day as I work. If she is not outside running around, she is laying by me. I have the ability to take 5 minute breaks to play with her and bring her outside. If you prefer a check up at your own home, I can come to your home and do the same! I have experience with diabetic dogs, senior dogs, and even a disabled dog who has no use of his back legs.

“Ava stepped up for us last minute when previous arrangements fell through. She is kind and considerate and wanted to make sure Tucker and Zeke had the best time while I was gone. I came home to a tidy house and she even stripped the sheets off the bed she slept in. I was not expecting that. I got daily photos of each dog while I was away, but I know deep down they did not miss me 🤣. I would reach out to her again.”


“Khadijah was wonderful with our super nervous pitbull Harley. Khadijah was very patient, calm and made every effort to try and accommodate our Harley who is extremely nervous with new people. We appreciated how much communication Khadijah had with us while we were away over the weekend, we had no worries whatsoever leaving our home in Khadijah’s caring hands! Thank you again for taking care of our girl, we sincerely appreciate you!!”

When Nancy and I married she took in my 6 year old German Shepherd Jackson and treated him as one of her own pets. Jackson was unfortunately diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy and Nancy provided constant care with helping him get around the house and up and down the stairs, taking him to physical therapy, and just keeping him happy. Nancy is a great and loving pet parent and is a very responsible person.”

Not only does she love cats and dogs to no end, she is also incredibly punctual with timelines and responsible.
