“Tiffany was amazing!! She went above and beyond while caring for my dog. She stayed longer than needed and even came early due to weather concerns. I highly recommend to anyone in need of a dog sitter/walker!”

“Angela was very communicative while checking on my cat and even went so far as to bring in packages when my mail hold didn't take! Lovely sitter and I'll definitely be using her again.”

“As always, Breana is our favorite sitter! She IS the best, treats my dogs as of they are their own, and always sends pictures/videos for the duration of her stay. Breana updates us if she is leaving the house for any reason. Gary and Calvin LOVE their time spent with her!”
“I have nothing but WONDERFUL things to say about Kiersten. I needed a last minute sitter and without hesitation she was willing to help! She was not only kind to me but more importantly she was kind to my fur baby. I will 100% be using her in the future for any pet sitting needs.”

“Lisa was great! I could tell the kitties loved her because they were calm and relaxed when we returned. This was our first time working with Lisa but I will be reaching out to her again for sure.”

“We truly enjoyed Denise and her passion for taking care of our two ginger cats. Everything was taken care of. Her Rover report photos captured their personalities which let us know she was spending quality time with our cats. We highly recommend Denise.”

About: I have watched dogs, cats, and reptiles. I can administer medication if need be and/or put diapers on the animal if told they have to wear them. I work from my home so I can be with them most of the time, I just will need to be able to go back and forth during the weekday for work. I can keep up with their routine whether it’s with their potty breaks or meals and medications(if they have any). If you have a fenced in yard I will let them roam out there, unless specifically told different. If walks are needed for overnight stays, I am more than happy to walk them instead of let out in the yard, just let me know😊 I do not watch animals in my home, but in the pets home only. I do make sure they will not get out of the fence or door in your home.
About: I’ve had animals of all kinds my whole life. I’ve volunteered at the humane society to walk big dogs and help get them adopted. My last dog was a bull terrier who lived to be 16 and he was my first baby. Bull terriers and Great Danes are a unique breed but so much fun and it brings me so much joy to be around animals and help them in anyway I’m a stay at home mom and a retired Marine veteran. I have nothing but time during the week to help out and possibly weekends depending on the date and time. I can crate them if need be, walk, play, feed, bathe and watch over your pet drop off at doggy day care or play at the dog park if they’re up for it! I’m experienced in large strong breeds as well as tiny little guys!
About: I've grown up having dogs and cats. I love farm animals. I take care of others people's pets like my own. My husband and I have two dogs named Bonnie and Rufus. I am a stay at home wife. So pet care is the best fit for me. I also love animals so I really enjoy taking care of pets. I currently do not have a fence in yard. My dog Bonnie stays indoors. I can use a collar and leash. I can also use a crate if needed.

“Tonya is an absolute dream! She is so thorough, made a point to come do a meet and greet with our cat, and sent us updates over the weekend when she stopped by to feed and hang out with him. I highly recommend her!”

“Anne is amazing! She was very communicative, reliable, friendly and trustworthy! Not everybody can handle our six furry ones but she mastered it like a pro! Will be using her from now on any time we need to travel ?”


“Lauren is a great sitter! She did everything she was asked to and then some. My pets felt very comfortable with her and were well taken care of. Will definitely be using her again.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets as long as I can remember. Growing up we always had animals. Neighbors and family friends have trusted me to feed, walk, bath, and care for their fur babies while they were away! My family has an Irish setter named Lucy and I have a tuxedo kitty named Boo. I love both of them to death! I treat my animals as they are my children and give them all the love and attention in the world, as well as treating every animal as my own child. I’m here to make sure you aren’t worried about your pet while you are out of town, as they will be in good hands! I am currently a full time college student, however all of my classes are online expect two, which meet in person on two days for about an hour. This gives me great flexibility to work with your schedule and needs! I can easily do whatever is needed of me regarding your pets! I assure you I have done it all, such as crating your dog or giving them any sort of medicine.
About: Hi! I'm Lydia. I'm a former zookeeper and animal trainer living in Panama City, FL. I have always loved animals and I've had pets my whole life. I currently have a cat and a parrot. I've cared for lots of different types of animals, from fur to feathers and beyond, so if you have other pets that need care while you're away, I'm your girl! I'm also comfortable caring for dogs that need medication or have special needs, blind, deaf, etc. I’m not able to provide boarding but I'm happy to stay with your pet in your home. I promise I will take great care of your fur babies while you're away. Lots of love is guaranteed! I’m currently between jobs so my schedule is flexible. If and when that changes, my updated availability will be reflected in the app. Thank you for understanding. Establishing trust between myself, the dog, and the owner is critical, which is why I require a meet and greet before accepting any new clients. It’s important for me to understand your dog’s routine and environment so I can provide quality, consistent care to them while you’re away.
“Hope was great, she was very professional and flexible with the house visit. She was also very sweet and kind with my pups and she sent photo updates while we were out. I will definitely reach out to her again in the future and will recommend her to others.”

About: My name is Alicia. I’ve been a teacher for 18 years. I have had pets for as long as I can remember. As far as “on my own” pets; I’ve owned five dogs, a cat, 4 gerbils, and 2 ferrets. I have experience in medication administration. I had a seizure baby as well so I’m familiar with them also. I have always been super close with my pets and they are allowed free roam of the house and love snuggling on the furniture. I wish I could provide in home services, but currently have a foster staying with me. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I’m currently working flexible hours, so I have varying availability most days! When doing drop by visits to feed or give potty breaks, I make sure to spend a little extra time giving them attention. I’ve found animals can get their feelings hurt a bit when we rush in and rush out on a care visit. I want them to feel special and know that everything is good until your return. I love animals and am familiar with many different sizes/breeds. Just let me know what your specific pet needs/preferences are and I will make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and loved.
