About: I have had cats throughout my 25 years of life. My family got their first dog in 2015; however, my grandparents have had dogs since 2012. I have given dogs and cats baths; as well as clipped their nails. I have dog sat for two family's for about 6 years. While I am not a certified trainer, I have taught my family dog to sit, stay/wait, lay down, touch my hand on command, and even to press buttons! I have open availability Monday through Fridays. On the weekends I run my own business and will have limited availability but will accept offers as they come. On Sundays, I volunteer at a cat rescue in the mornings. I treat all pets with caution, I do not want to make them uncomfortable! I let the animal approach me first. If the animal appears to be uncomfortable but gentle, I will sit on the floor at their level and allow them to smell me first.
“Yall - our cat Bombur has had some medical issues and needed a specific medication regimen in addition to the two other cats she was helping us with. My most scared cat came up to her! She has the best energy. She sent photos and went above and beyond.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, and when I started living on my own I realized they’re more important than I ever realized. I have a rescue pup who is very nervous but sweet. I am a graduate student in the home stretch of my degree, and I can use the money and the reason to get out of the house. I have a fenced in yard and a crate trained dog. I’m always good about on time flea/tick/heartworm and yearly vaccinations, as well as being educated in dog distress signs and illness signs.
“We have worked with Lauren twice now for our fur family. Not only do our animals love her, but she has consistently gone above and beyond to communicate with us and take care of their needs. She sends the cutest photos and helps us feel at ease when we are away from home. I would recommend her to anyone who cares deeply about their pets. She is the best!”

“Stacey is my go to. She is reliable, kind, and most importantly, my kitty Lucy loves her. Has helped me on the whim when I’ve needed someone to drop on when something unexpected came up. Will always check with her first for any pet sitting needs.”

About: I worked at a cat cafe for 4 years, and have been working at a small-animal veterinary clinic for the past 2 years. I’ve provided pet sitting many times over the last 6 years, and am currently working towards my master’s degree in animal science and behavior. I’m well-rounded in proper animal husbandry, medication administration— from pills to insulin injections— nutrition, and animal behavior. My goal is to eventually become certified for training, but I do already know basic behavior modification techniques. I’m regularly taking care of animals, from my personal pet to the animals at my veterinary job. I love and treat every animal like they’re my own, yours included! I am very patient when it comes to animals. If your cat is slow to warm up to me, I will give them their space and wait for them to come to me for pets and play. If your dog is wanting to take their time to smell around outside, I will give them that sensory enrichment. I am an advocate for animal welfare, so I will ensure your pet is as happy as possible while you’re gone!

“Marilyn was awesome! This was my first time using Rover, and we were out of town for several days. Marilyn made the whole thing so easy and even picked up an extra visit at the last minute, allowing us to extend our trip another day. She sent photos and kept us in the loop. I'll book with her any time we're away!”

“Jason and Tania were fantastic! They checked in before they got to my house, while they were there, and after they left. They are so dedicated, so caring, and so friendly - they are absolutely wonderful people, and I am thrilled Otto was in such good care!”

“Maja did amazing job watching my two kittens. They were very well taken care of and happy with her company. Maja sent really cute pictures and detailed notes about her drop ins. Will def connect with Maja in the future. Thanks so much Maja!!”

“Lauren really came through in a pinch . My mom usually lets my dog out but she had to cancel. When I reached out to Lauren, my dog was overdue to be let out. Lauren responded immediately and went right away .”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl. I have years of experience with dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and turtles. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets. This includes feeding, watering, bathing, administering medications, walking, and playing with your pet. I gave lots of experience with senior dogs and dogs with disabilities. I have a 6 ft privacy fence and a playful gentle dog to keep your pet entertained. There is plenty of space in my home for your pet rome and play. The dog park is in walking distance and we go for walks daily. Our home can be a home away from home for your beloved pet. I am currently working but I have plenty of free time in the afternoon, evening, weekends, and during holidays. I am an elementary teacher and if I’m not working I am at home with my son and dog. I have a fully fenced in yard that consists of a 6 ft privacy fence. I will feed, water, and bathe them as needed. I can administer medications and any individual healthcare as needed. I can take daily walks and even trips to the dog park. I have experience with all sizes and different breeds.
“Taylor is awesome! She was attentive and kind to my pup while I was on vacation. She sent regular, thorough updates with adorable pictures. Having Taylor watch my dog eased my anxiety about being away because I knew she was in great hands.”

About: My family and I used to run an animal transport business, taking pets from shelters to their new permanent home. I grew up around rotties most of my life, but I am comfortable around all pets. I work full time afternoon hours, but on my free time I love helping with my own pets at home and would love to work with others. Walking them, giving them baths and feeding them. I also love playing tug of war or fetch as long as weather allows too. Just watching pets play to.
About: I have grown up my entire life around pets and animals of all varieties. Dogs, cats, Parakeets, and even hamsters. I have learned and grown to love and care for animals because I view them as family, not just pets. I have walked dogs and have house sat for many years and am considered experienced with most forms of care and service to pets such as dogs and cats I work a full time job as a social studies educator where I teach seventh grade through 12th grade world, history and government classes. Teaching is my absolute passion and I love working with kids of all ages To help guide them towards helping them become better versions of themselves every single day! Teaching may be my passion, but I love working with animals on the side when I have spare time. I am free on weekends, most evenings, and free almost the entire summer. I am easily and readily available for evenings and even summers to take care of your furry friends while you may be away for longer periods of time! I currently live in a single bedroom apartment with only one furry firmed if my own. He is a 6 year old American Short-Hair who is the sweetest of kitties and my entire world. I adopted him when he was just a month old and he has been with me his whole life. My apartment is located next to nearby parks and grassy areas for walks and exercise. My apartment is also smoke-free and is in a pet-friendly neighborhood with quiet streets and friendly neighbors.
“Amazing! Ariana put my mind at ease being away from my pup. She updated me every step of the way with pictures and sweet messages. My Indy enjoyed his stay and will be back!!”


“Carly was a great cat sitter for Crystal! 😊 She kept me updated during each visit with pictures and videos, which really helped us feel at ease while we were away. She was patient and sweet with Crystal, and I was so happy to hear that Crystal warmed up to her 🤍 Thank you again, Carly, for taking good care of our baby!”

About: I am a lifetime animal lover. I currently have a Rottweiler, and a shepherd mix. I also have two cats, one is part Maine coone and the other is a Manx. I love interacting with cats and dogs and would love to help take care of them for you. I have experience with providing medicine and wound care to animals as well as bathing and trimming nails with the ones that cooperate. 🙂 I currently work full time 7:30-4. My children are also very active so I can tend to be busy certain times of the year. But when I am available I would be able to stop by or take your dog for a walk during the week. I like to make sure all pets are taken care of and loved. I like to treat my pets as a part of the family and not just an animal.
