“She did a great job. The cats are looked after and well cared for. We got updates and pictures every day for a week. The house was very clean as well, our cats often make messes.”



“Heather came to the rescue on short notice (literally within a few hours) when my other sitter canceled. She sent lots of pictures and made sure my boy was cared for. Definitely recommend!”


“Morgan is the most amazing sitter you could hope for! We had to leave our cats for 2 weeks and for the first time, hire someone to check in on them. We were so nervous to bring a stranger into our home and care for our animals, but Morgan was so caring, paitent and accommodating. She followed directions and stayed in contact when needed. I couldn't recommend her enough! Thank you so much Morgan!”


“Andrea has been amazing taking care of my little guy! We’re new to the area and it’s been an adjustment, needless to say we’ve gotten a great routine down and Andrea goes above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. Thank you so much!”


“Kim was great. She gave detailed visit information each time and plenty of pictures. ❤️ She brought her own toys to play with our “kits” which was very nice knowing they were entertained while we were away. We will definitely use Kim for our future “kit” care.”


“Repeat customer! Highly recommend these pet sitters. My pets are perfectly cared for every visit. Great communication and attention to detail. They take the stress out of leaving your pets at home!”


“Nicole was great with my 2 greyhounds and 2 cats! She met them ahead of time so they were comfortable with her, showed up on time, and followed all the instructions I left. She also sent lots of pictures which I love. We will definitely book with her again in the future”


“First time Rover user (Willowlake Subdivision) and selected Kaci to check in on our kitties while away. She was extremely responsive, friendly and helpful. We met before leaving town so she could see how to get in, meet the kitties, etc. She was very professional, kind and loving. It was easy to message with her while gone and we loved the pictures she sent from her visits to check on the pets. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting / check-ins and plan on using her again, next time I go out of town. What a relief to know someone so caring and responsible was here to take care of our little ones. Thank you so much, Kaci!”


About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion and natural connection with animals of all kinds. I grew up with Yorkies and cats, and I currently share my home with two retired rescue greyhounds. I've also spent time around large breeds like English Mastiffs, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have a calm, patient energy that helps pets feel safe and comfortable—whether they’re shy, senior, or full of puppy energy. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel at ease while you're away, and I’m fully committed to creating that sense of home and routine for them. From administering medications to taking gentle walks or just being a warm presence, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. I start and end each day with walks and quality time with my two retired greyhounds, so caring for animals is woven into my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, or just sitting with them for comfort and companionship, I genuinely enjoy every part of it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need—whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Making animals feel loved and secure is something I take pride in, and it never feels like a task—it’s something I truly love. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible. I follow each pet's routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, and any special needs like medication or extra quiet time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy and consistent, so your pet feels secure while you're away. I take the time to get to know their personality and provide calm companionship, play, and affection based on what they enjoy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with soft spaces to relax, lots of love, and a routine that helps reduce stress. Whether they need extra snuggles, slow-paced walks, or a little patience, I meet them where they are—physically and emotionally.

About: We are the typical pet owners who treat their "children" as another loved family member. Our large, fenced yard and our cozy, animal friendly environment is perfect for your "child" while you are away. Our pet (and yours) gets exercised 2-3 times a day, swimming is always allowed if ok with you, and someone is almost always home to play, love and protect your pet. As an owner of Doodles and Mutts- exercise is demanded on a daily basis- so your pet will reap the benefits of our energetic pups. Your pet will receive tons of attention and affection and will be cared for and loved as if they were our own. About this sitter: I am a self-employed woman with a penchant for dogs. I treat them as my children and ensure they are well exercised, loved and have plenty of fun. Why I love dog sitting I have had many dogs in my life and have often helped individuals train their pet. I have extensive (20 years) basic training experience and love to spend time making sure a pet is happy and healthy. About my yard I live on a full acre and my dog/house guests have access to almost every inch of it. There is plenty of room to safely roam the fenced 1/2 acre and also plenty of room to play ball, frisbee or just run about! Our world revolves around our pets and we will make sure your pet has everything they need to be a happy pet. If there are any special instructions, we will assure that things are done correctly and patiently. We will play and entertain them all day, maybe a swim, maybe a walk, maybe a trip to the park. Down time may include cuddles, Doggie YouTube to keep their brains stimulated. Hourly potty breaks.

“We're so glad we found Kevin! I always feel sad to leave my pets behind but after the meet and greet, I knew my dog was in good hands. Kevin sent me pictures of Carmel every visit and gave me updates on each visit. It definitely made our vacation more enjoyable knowing my dog was has having a good time as well. Highly recommended”


“Robyn was great with our high energy goldendoodle! She communicated very well before and during the drop-in and it is obvious she has a huge heart for animals. I will not hesitant to hire her again!”


About: I’ve been a vet tech for many years. I’ve worked emergency and general practice. I take pride in my care and in my work and strive for comfort. I primarily pet sitting full-time, and I am readily available at all times. I enjoy spending time with your pets and them having the company. I like to spend time with your pets so they feel at home.

“Lauren is friendly and reliable!! She sends you bunches of pictures and reports details of how your loved furry family is doing while your absence. Our cat was the same happy girl when we got back home from our trip. Definitely we recommend her and come back to her next time. Thanks again Lauren ?”


About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes ranging from weens to rotties. I have experience training puppies up to 2-ish years on basic commands, crate training, and socialization. I dont mind spending time walking around the block, throwing the ball for extended periods of time, or lying next to them for a period of time so that they feel loved, heard, and cared for. I do not groom. but if doggo needs a bath or brushing, I can give them a bath and brush. Our family is a poodle family, so I know the importance of keeping up with brushing. I also have cat experience. Almost 10 years ago, the Cat Distribution System of the Universe granted me Tigger, my Maine Coon. Though her, I learned how much cats genuinely better our lives. I love all furbabies and will make sure that they are well cared for when you are away. I am a teacher by day and a pet sitter by night. I am available between the hours of 4pm and 7am, with fairly open availability on weekends and holidays. I can house sit during the week while I work in the school, coming back on my lunch and planning period to spend time with your fur baby, if you are comfortable with that, also pending distance from the school. Feel free to reach out. Since I live in an apartment, I am unable to take your baby to my home. Rest assured, I will make sure that your pooch is walked (pooped and peed), loved, fed, watered, medicated (if required/needed), and safe. My priority is your baby. I treat all furbabies like they were my own, so that means they come first on my visit.

“Nicole has been wonderfully attentive to our skiddish cats. She had checked in with me everyday and asked all the important questions. From our meet and greet, I could tell she was a kind and sincere person. Her background of working with animals is impressive. We will definitely be booking with Nicole again!”


“Haddy was amazing. I got to see cute pictures of my kitty while I was traveling and cool updates on how all was going. Haddy even went above and beyond helping to take out the trash! Thank you so much. Will be requesting her for any of my sitting needs 🥰”


About: No corn dogs here, for pet's sake. I can take your pup on a long walk or a potty break. We've dog gone and done it! I'm currently working part-time so it'll be a piece of cake to squeeze your pup in and get them out of the house and have a paws-itive pet experience. I will check fence gates before letting your pup out, keep the key with me at all times and return afterwards, and do a final check.
