“Tess was so great. We are new to the area and did not have an established pet sitter and she handled things wonderfully. We felt fully at ease and our three kitties were very happy and relaxed when we got back. And we appreciated her pictures and reports from the visits. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
“Jana is the absolute best! She took such good care of our cat. We appreciate how happy she kept him over the holidays - we could tell he felt safe and comfortable with her and that put us at ease leaving him for the first time ever. She sent wonderful photos every day that made our entire day whenever we got them. We are so grateful to Jana! ☺️”
“Matthew always takes great care of my cat when I need a sitter. I appreciate his updates on the drop in visits and the pictures of my happy cat. If anything happens he lets me know and is very accommodating. I would recommend him for anyone needing a cat sitter!”
“Linnea did a wonderful job taking care of our cats! She was very responsive and flexible. Our cats were calm and well adjusted when we arrived home.”
About: I just finished fostering a few puppies. And I’ve owned a pit rescue who was very anxious. If your pet is not great on leash I understand and can work with them on that. I can offer hiking and running if they are energetic. I’m home most of the day. Your dog will get an early am poop and our walk and then hang out in the house with my son and I. Then we will go on an adventure in the afternoon. We have a fenced yard and I’m a big fan of walks— either through the neighborhood or on the local hiking trails. I’ll make sure there is ample water and your pup is fed at regular eating times.
About: I've been fostering all kinds of dogs off and on since I was thirteen. I'm great at taking care of all sizes and personalities of dogs and I love it! I have a good amount of free time and would love to have the opportunity to fit when you need your dog walked into schedule. I provide safe, reliable dog walks that match each dog’s needs. They including exercise, potty breaks, positive attention, along with updates and photos after every walk.
“Lali was incredible and we would recommend her sitting services to anyone!! On a daily basis, she sent my wife and I photo updates of our two dogs as well as short reports on what they did and how they spent their time together. We would leave six stars out of five if we could!!!”
“Jennifer was fantastic! She kept us well informed and sent the best pictures. We had a snafu with our code lock and she let us know and didn’t leave until we had an alternative on the way. I’m pretty sure when I got home from my trip my pets were disappointed it was me and not Jennifer dropping in!”
“Kim was fantastic from start to finish. She sent great updates of our kitties and they were clearly comfortable and happy with her. Would love to have her watch them again.”
“Carly continues to be an amazing and wonderful cat sitter. My two cats adore her and she dotes on them with healthy, happy, loving, and kind care. Thank you, Carly, from all of us!”
“Amelia was fantastic. Very flexible, super responsive and thoughtful, great energy. Perfect for our anxious rescue dog (and also slightly anxious dog parents). She kept us in the loop the entire time and sent lots of photos which put our minds at ease.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have six years of professional experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Whether I’m helping a friend, family member, or client, I treat every pet with the same love and care I would give my own. I am certified in Dog and Cat First Aid through the American Red Cross. I have a flexible schedule and an active lifestyle, so pets in my care get plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed, so I’m always happy to follow their usual schedule to make their stay feel as close to home as possible. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. I have a fully fenced yard and live right by Chautauqua, so there's plenty of space to play and explore. While I adore hosting social dogs, my home is also a great environment for dogs who prefer to be the only pet in the home, since I accept only one client at a time. I'm happy to accommodate multiple dogs from the same household, though!
“Caroline was amazing with our dog, who tends to be anxious around new people. Caroline went above and beyond our expectations and we came home to a relaxed and very well exercised dog. We would absolutely have Caroline watch our animals again!”

“Emma Jean was available short notice and was so amazing to my girl through the day while I was gone. Highly recommend, mine loves attention and has lots of energy and Emma took care of all of it!”
“Christa took excellent care of our cats while we were away. I could tell she truly cared for them and was very communicative about how they were doing. She was attentive to their individual needs and provided detailed updates. Our cats seemed to take to her instantly. We hope she can continue to care for our cats in the future.”

I can say it all simply. Carly is the best! She is caring, patient, thorough, kind, and very loving to my two cats who are not always "easy." Carly shines every time. She is totally trustworthy, very generous, utterly reliable, and sweetly caring and loving as if my cats were her own. Thank you, Carly.

We used Amelia again to dog sit our anxious rescue, and she continues to exceed our expectations. Chickpea was so happy to see her — always a great sign with a dog who takes time to warm up to people. Amelia is a genuinely calming presence, sent regular updates so we could relax, and clearly has a gift for working with dogs who need a little extra patience. So glad we found her.
Tess is awesome! We have generally had good experiences with our Rover sitters, but Tess is above and beyond. Very organized, makes sure she understands our dogs care needs, and thinks of additional considerations like wildfire contingency planning for the dog’s safety. She watered our plants and took in our mail while we were gone. Got clear updates and photos. Really appreciate Tess!!
We just had Shira take care of our Pup for 1 day last week. She did a good job while showing up for a visit in the morning and afternoon. She helped us out with little notice. Asked some good questions to better understand what the needs were. All indications were that our dog was well exercised and well taken care of under Shira's care.
Hanna was absolutely wonderful to work with, and my cat bonded with her right away. She left detailed notes from her visits and was thorough with her communication both before and during the time I was out of town. Will be booking with Hanna again, for sure! :D
