“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.”
“Tara was amazing! She sent me so many pictures during my trip and left very detailed notes. She’s very friendly and trustworthy. My cats loved her! Will be using her for future trips.”
“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.”
“Michael communicates well and takes great care of our oversized puppy :) He is very accommodating with scheduling and always gives nice feedback about walks. Thank you!”
“Did stop in visits for my dog Gracie on my wedding weekend. She had never been boarded so rover seemed like a good idea. Ciara seemed to get along with Gracie when she came by to meet me and she sent at least 1 picture for each trip. She got there early to get Gracie out which was important since she was just coming off a bladder infection. I Will contact Ciara before my next trip and would be happy to have her watch gracie again.”
“Kumiko helped us out last minute when our usual sitter couldn't watch Brutus. She did a fabulous job and we got pictures of him outside each visit being happy!”
“Maggie was amazing with our 2 month old puppy! He was very communicative, sent plenty of pictures and attentive to Bohannon! We had to take a 5 day trip shortly after getting Bohannon and it was very hard to be away from him since he was so young. Maggie put me at ease and I knew he was being well cared for during her check appointments.”
“I’ve been having Meilin do drop ins with my old puppet, Zoe, for 3 ish now and Meilin has been such a pleasure to work with! They communicate any issues or concerns about Zoe with me quickly and the couple times they were running later or earlier they let me know. I know Zoe can be a lot sometimes and I appreciate that I never had to worry about her when Meilin was watching her. I highly recommend booking Meilin for all your pet sitting needs especially if you have a senior doggo!! 💚”
“Betsy was amazing! She was so communicative and went over and beyond to take care of our pup! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
“She was excellent. Needed her services due to another walker having to cancel during a current contract. She helped out immediately which was a huge relief. I would recommend her!”
About: I grew up on a farm and spent my summers living and caring for all types of animals from horses to chickens. I am working from home and looking to spend my lunch hour with animals and get some exercise walking neighborhood dogs! Ideally I would like to pet sit or dog walk during my lunch hour Monday - Friday but I am flexible as far as occasional weekend visits and different times of day. I care for every animal as my own and will spend time getting to know their individual personality. And my motto is to always leave someone’s home the same as or better than it was when I found it.
“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 came through for us in a pinch. She is so communicative, attentive, and we truly lucked out in finding her. Our three dogs absolutely adore her. She sent videos and pictures that let us know that our dogs were in the best hands.”
About: My wife and I have been married over 20 years and 17 of those have been with multiple dogs in our house. We are dog-less at the moment, but would love to give your dog the love we have all of ours for so many years. I work full time from home and my wife is a professor, so we have a lot of time at home. Our son is 2, and absolutely adores dogs Whatever the owner needs us to do for the dog, we are happy to. Snuggles, walks, potty and regular feeding schedule is always on the docket
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.
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!
“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 :)”
