“My cat rarely warms up to people - it requires patience and persistence - and Tawnia took the time to win her over! I will definitely be rebooking with Tawnia and highly recommend her services.”


“Christina is AMAZING!!!! I think my pup was disappointed to see me walk through the door. Her communication/feedback is superior. I don’t trust anyone BUT Christina with my ball of fluff. I highly recommend her…in fact I am going to re-book for my next trip right now!!!”

“Angela was great with my older dog stopping in for visits. It was clear from photos they had fun and got plenty of love and care. Professional, timely and easy to communicate with - will definitely reach out again for her.”

“Hossanna was wonderful taking care of my pups; describing them as “angels” and with my large anxious dog and one elderly baby, it was assuring as it is sweet! She worked with me remotely no problems and went seamlessly with reliable pictures and communication for confirmation. She was diligent and flexible with their schedules and have only positive remarks for her care!”


“Alexis was so thorough and caring when she took care of my cats! Her updates were everything I needed so I didn’t have to worry while I was away. My cats loved her- normally one of them is usually pretty scared with new people and she took so many pictures of him out & about! I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her pet sitting care again when the time comes.”

“We have four kitties, which is enough of a challenge for anyone. But they’re also particular and quirky and two have medical needs. Brooke did an amazing job getting them all their meds and making sure they were well fed and they all like her! Would definitely rebook with her in the future.”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I have poured my love and dedication into every moment I spend with them. I am comfortable and confident in administering medication to dogs, always gentle and patient. Playtime, walkies, baths… they’re more than tasks; they’re opportunities to bond, to share joy, and to show your beloved pet how truly special they are. I am tuned into dog body language, knowing exactly when to give space and when to offer comfort. I don’t force interaction or push boundaries. Yet, I won’t hesitate to get down on the floor, to play, cuddle, and love just like I do with my own furry family. When you call on me, you’re not leaving your precious baby with a stranger - you’re entrusting them to someone who truly believes they are family, deserving of all the love and care in the world. I currently work remote which means I have flexibility throughout the day to visit with your dog - whether that means cuddles, walks, or practicing the tricks we already know. For house sitting, I’m happy to stay with your pet all day (arriving as early as 7:30am and ending the day at 10pm, with a few hours away during lunch and in the afternoon) as long as you have decent WiFi. Please note, I am not able to stay at your home overnight. I believe parents make the rules! I am flexible to your requests because you know what works best for your dogs. Do they need to be crated? Do they need the TV on all night for comfort? Do they need their teeth brushed? Do they need to be walked right before bedtime? I can do it all. I am happy to transport to and from specific walking trails, dog parks, etc.. Want to socialize your dogs but having them leave your house makes you nervous? I can bring my dogs with me to visit your pup! I’ll follow your lead because you know what’s best.
About: I lost my sixteen-year-old fur baby in October, 2018 and find myself missing that special energy only pets can bring. I have been caring for various pets for my friends and family for about 20 years and have done drop ins and overnight visits. I do have a full-time 8-5:30, Monday-Friday (and many Saturdays) job however, and am not available to provide constant care for pets. I do have more than enough time to devote myself to the love and care of your fur baby. In my home, in my life, dogs and cats are family and deserve the same love, care, and respect that human beings deserve. Perhaps more. While I have more experience with dogs I haven’t met a cat I couldn’t win over. Rest assured that if you place the care of your beloved pets in my hands they will be well loved while you are out of town. Your home will be cared for as well. I do have a “regular” 8 am to 5 pm job. My evenings and nights are free. Weekends are also more flexible for me when it comes to spending quality time with your baby. I am not able to provide constant care. I live in an apartment complex so I am more than happy to visit your fur baby in their own environment. I want to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible so I’d prefer to maintain the schedule and comfort they’re used to.
“Holly and Robert did a great job, arriving in the time frame requested, walked our dog along familiar neighborhood routes, sending text notes and pictures. We will use them again for sure!”

“Elliot was so good to my pups! He went above and beyond for them, he cleaned up after my 14yr old pup who cannot always hold or get herself fully to the pee pad or door to go out. He spent time with both my pups while I was gone at work for 24hrs, he was attentive to the direction left for the dogs and extremely friendly and accommodating. He is someone I will use again and highly recommend!”

“Brigit is reliable, kind, and overall wonderful with our puppy. She is very consistent and sends pictures / messages about how the stay was and is very flexible with my schedule.”

About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting for 3+ years and have loved every minute—tail wags, belly rubs, zoomies, and all! I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and breeds, from bouncy puppies to mellow seniors, and I’m totally comfortable with multiple dogs at once. Whether we’re hanging out at your place or mine, I make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and right at home. I’m down for whatever—park adventures, yard play, chill time, or snuggles on the couch. I’ve got some flexibility in my schedule too, so I can work around your pet’s routine. Your dog’s happiness is always my priority! I work full time, but only three days a week, and I attend school part-time online—so I still have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend care, and can accommodate a variety of schedules. Whether you need drop-ins, overnights, or extended stays, I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s routine. With my online classes and open days, I’m able to provide lots of love, attention, and playtime throughout the week! I’m all about creating a fun, safe, and cozy space where your pup can feel totally at ease! At my place, there are comfy dog beds for napping, toys for playtime, and plenty of love to go around. Whether your dog is a cuddle bug or a ball-chasing pro, I make sure they’re happy and cared for like family. I stick to their routine, follow your instructions closely, and always keep their safety and comfort top of mind. Whether we’re hanging out at your home or mine, your pup will be in good hands and good vibes!

“Marilee takes great care of our cats while we’re away. We booked her twice in one month and look forward to rebooking with her whenever we need a sitter.”

“Katie was very responsive to my initial request booking drop in visits with my cat and had great communication with me throughout the time she was conducting visits. She sent pictures and updates during her visits which made me feel reassured my cat was getting excellent care while I was away. Highly recommend and will be requesting her again when I leave town!”

About: I grew up with 4 types of dogs big and small. When I was 9 I babysat my neighbor cat and dog . I learned to be more responsible with animals. I'm currently a part-time sitter due to my illness, my schedule changes depending on doctor's appointments for the month so I will be changing my calendar when I have days off my dialysis days are Monday Wednesday Friday from 11:45am-3:45pm im available for check in and dog walks before and after those times. I live in a 2-2 house no roommates. My neighborhood is quite. Plenty of hiking trails near the area. Also pets are allowed on the furniture.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since 5 years old. Grooming, walking, cleaning up after them and loving them. I have added birds, ferrets, and turtles to my pets in my adulthood. I foster neonatal kittens. I have trained many dogs and have shown them in obedience. I have had elderly dogs and cats and have helped them through their needs in old age. I love to throw the ball for your dog, play with cats or just sit and pet them, make sure they have their food on time and always have water. I can walk you dog around the block or for 5 miles. I am very experienced in reactive dogs and walking them. I have had large and small dogs. My last two dogs were Dobermans. I will be reliable and follow your instructions. I am a retired Occupational Therapist and have recently lost my sweet friend and companion, my dog Scarlet. I have time now to help others out who need someone to provide love and care to their pet. I am looking to care for your pet in your home. I may, be able to take a cat or dog into my home sometimes, but I have chickens in my backyard so it is not available. At your home I can stay overnight if necessary or just come and care for your pet in the comfort they are used to. I am reliable and trustworthy and will give all the love and care your pet needs and wants.
“Stacy was great! She offered to set up a meeting before actually watching my dogs, which was important to me. I could tell immediately that she would take good care of my dogs while I was away. She communicated ahead of time and afterwards for my dogs scheduled drop-in visits. I highly recommend her and I will definitely reach out to her again to watch my kids...errrrr I mean dogs. :-)”

Elliot was so good to my pups! He went above and beyond for them, he cleaned up after my 14yr old pup who cannot always hold or get herself fully to the pee pad or door to go out. He spent time with both my pups while I was gone at work for 24hrs, he was attentive to the direction left for the dogs and extremely friendly and accommodating. He is someone I will use again and highly recommend!

Thank you so much Tawnia! We are so grateful for all your help and know our animals are in great hands with you. Thanks for going above and beyond! We really enjoy all of the pictures and updates you share with us and we look forward to booking again in with you soon!

Alexis was so thorough and caring when she took care of my cats! Her updates were everything I needed so I didn’t have to worry while I was away. My cats loved her- normally one of them is usually pretty scared with new people and she took so many pictures of him out & about! I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her pet sitting care again when the time comes.

Excellent pet sitter. Took great care of my 2 cats over Christmas holiday. Sent me pictures everyday during play and treats. My cats are usually scared of people they don’t know but they came out quickly and were happy to see her. Will definitely be booking again with her for my next vacation.

Leo is an excellent pet sitter. We asked him to watch our two kitties (and some backyard strays) over a holiday while we were out of town. It was a last-minute request, and we are so thankful that Leo was available! Leo was very responsive throughout the whole booking process. When he came over for a meet-and-greet, he was attentive, perceptive, and inquisitive. It was clear that he really loves animals. While we were gone, Leo stopped by every day to tend to our girls' needs, and he made sure to spend time playing with both of them. He even got our shy girl, Cashew, to come out and play every day, which is very special. Leo kept us up to date while we were gone and sent us several pictures and videos to let us know the girls were doing well. We highly recommend Leo for your pet-sitting needs, and we will be calling on him in the future!

This was my first time using Rover and Blake made me feel comfortable right away. Blake was very professional and you could tell that they loved animals and truly cared about their well being. I received daily updates and pictures of my cuties as well as overall reassurance that all was going well while I was gone. Thanks Blake! I’ll definitely rebook in the future!
Adrienne was an excellent sitter/walker for my hyperactive Brittany. He needs his walks in foothills daily and Adrienne was prompt with her arrivals and always provided a cute photo of my pup enjoying his walk. This really put me at ease for my first trip away from my dog. I would highly recommend Adrienne for your sitter/walker needs!
