About: I have been taking care of animals most of my life! I have my own dog her name is Revvy and she is my whole entire world! I also have experience with pigs, chickens, fish, and so much more! I have lots of love to give to all kinds of animals. I just want to be able to care for all furry kinds of friends and give them the love and attention they deserve. I work at a doggy day care and boarding facility but always make time for my dog, we always are out early in the morning to tire her out so she isn’t missing me too much when I am at work! Then we go out after work. I am mostly available early mornings and possibly late evenings. I will treat them as my own, give them lots of love and attention. I will protect them and provide them with everything they need. I just hope that they will end up loving me as much as they would be loved by me.

About: I’ve cared for pets since I was 7 years old, gaining experience as a loving pet owner rather than a professional sitter. I’ve raised dogs and cats of all kinds and truly treat every animal like family. Friends and family often trust me to care for their pets because they know I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and happy. currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, but I always make time for pets before and after work, as well as on weekends. I’m available for walks and drop-ins after 5:30pm on weekdays, and I’m fully available on weekends for boarding or extended stays. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love to make new friends. Your pet will have a safe, comfortable space to play and relax. I’m happy to follow any routines, feeding schedules, or crate preferences you have to make sure your pet feels right at home. I care for every animal as if they were part of my own family — with patience, love, and attention to detail.

Berthie was phenomenal. It was my first time using Rover and I will definitely be using Berthie again. Continuously updated me with pictures and blurbs about how my dog was doing. My dog is adjusting to a new apartment and had been having accidents and Berthie not only updated me on her status, but ensured he would clean up if she had any accidents. I 100% would recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter/Walker.

We cannot say enough about the wonderful job Brooke did with our two girls. She has an excellent knowledge of cats and quickly won them over. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that we can go away and leave them in such good hands. We greatly appreciated the daily updates which put our minds at ease. We wholeheartedly recommend Brooke and intend to be a repeat customer.

About: I’ve always been very good with taking care of animals. I’ve house sat and taken in pets of family members for a couple of years now and understand the responsibility of taking care of another member of the family. I work weekdays from 11:30-5 therefore I’m available in the mornings and the evenings. I try to have a healthy balance of social life and work and try to space out my time as much as possible. I have a German Shepard/pit bull mix at home which requires hands on activity, play, and feeding. It’s important that animals not only get the proper to make sure they are living comfortably but also the most amount of love and attention for their own benefit

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of different sizes for a few years now. I love animals and since I have none of my own; I thought pet sitting would be the best opportunity for me to meet people, their families and their pets 😄 I am currently working part time now, so I have lots of time to care for and play with your cats & dogs! I love animals and since I have no pets of my own; this is the best opportunity to show my love for them!! I will definitely make sure your pet(s) is cared for with fresh food and water; also treats ( by owner direction. ) I will also make sure that the environment is safe during my visit, and will definitely reach out if I see anything questionable! I will also provide playtime with your pet(s).

Kaylyn is an incredible sitter! She met with us last minute for a booking and it was clear she was responsible and comfortable with dogs. She had no issue with our dog’s pill and eye drop needs and proactively reached out when she noticed something unusual with our pup. We’ll 100% book with her again!

Selena is an exceptional and trustworthy person. We entrusted her with the responsibility of caring for our seven-year-old Saint Bernard, Loretta, for nearly two weeks. She visited our home twice daily to walk Loretta, provide her with food and water, and ensure she had bathroom breaks. Selena’s care was impeccable, and we are incredibly grateful for her services. We highly recommend her and will definitely contact her again in the future.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own. I enjoy building trust with animals and making sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I’m calm, responsible, and dedicated to creating a safe and loving environment. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care each day. I’m able to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, and companionship while keeping pets comfortable and on their normal routine. Trust and communication are very important to me when caring for pets. I provide regular updates, photos, and consistent care so owners feel comfortable while away. I always respect a pet’s routine and ensure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision.

Stacey was fantastic. We were nervous about leaving because one of my cats is in an end of life period. Stacey was incredibly communicative and flexible which made it so much easier to be away. She send video and pictures so we could see how both cats were doing and was flexible in terms of providing care based on how they were doing. Highly recommend and would book again.

About: I am a former employee at All Good Dogs: Day Care and Boarding. Aside from working the front desk, I would take care of as many as 20 dogs at a time. Some of my responsibilities include feeding them on time, making sure they received their medication on time, playing with them, loving them, and of course taking adorable pictures! I have an extremely flexible schedule. I am usually available 7 days a week, with varying times. Like I said before, I am flexible and will be able to work with anyones schedule. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine closely: feeding, walking, playtime, and giving lots of affection.

About: I’ve only ever known a household with pets! From cats and dogs, to hamsters and lizards. I truly love animals and have easily cared for family and friend’s beloved pets. Feedings, potty breaks, litter or crate cleans, I can do it all! I am currently a part time, online college student. So I can easily work pet care into my schedule with appropriate time given to prepare. In your home, I can always ensure that your pet’s environment is well kept and clean, including crates, food bowls, or litter boxes/outdoor spaces. I am able to brush your pet regularly and ensure their routine is kept for them.

About: I rescued my black lab 10 years ago on my own, and have groomed in and assisted in veterinary hospitals in the past. I grew up with a dog and cats and love most all animals. I used to be a veterinary assistant for a few years before covid, and I have good friends who work in veterinary medicine as doctors! I love to learn as much as I can in that field as well. I am fully available to care and love your animals- The sooner you book me for house sittings- all the better!! I will regularly take the animals outside, give them treats, cuddle on the couch together (if they’re allowed on furniture) and feed them as needed I am happy to provide as much care and service to you and your pets as often as you need it, and whenever I am physically able to be there to care for them for you! For house sittings, I give the the houses with fenced in backyards both your pets and myself to stay outdoors with one another for a longer period of time in a safer environment to get to know one another, especially during first time visits. I love to lounge around the house and get to know your fur babies, especially during my first few times of interacting with them, just to establish care and trust during this time.
