About: I’ve taken care of dogs for almost 10 years. I got my own first cat 6 years ago from the shelter, and kept going with a barn kitten, two puppies and then a 4 week old kitten off the side of the road. I’ve successfully crate trained both of my dogs and have had to administer medication to both dogs and cats. I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I’m home every day with our 2 dogs and 3 cats. I love being with my cats especially. My cats are very different, with different temperaments and different needs. My long term goal is to open a cat cafe that acts as a kind of foster home while the cats wait to be adopted! I am more than happy to spend time with your kitties, giving pets, feeding them, scooping litter, and especially playing with the kitties favorite toys! Anything to make your furry best friend a little more comfortable while they wait for you to come home! Additional instructions are always helpful too!

“Teresa took amazing care of my cats during the week of my trip. She was caring and professional, providing pictures and updates every day. My senior needed eye drops and she administered without problems. And from the happiness in the pictures, my younger male really enjoyed her visits. Teresa visited faithfully despite the horrible weather (flood and tornado warnings!) and her earned confidence allowed me to enjoy my trip. Thank you Teresa for taking care of my kitties! I would definitely book you again.”


“Madison took great care of our cat. She made sure litter box was clean and that she got to spend some time in the back porch. Will definitely use her again.”


“Ceshele was amazing!!! 🥰😊 It was hard to leave my fur baby for the first time but we were so reassured everyday and couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Will absolutely be using Ceshele in the future.”

“Grace provided a purrrfect cat sitting experience! This was our first time leaving our dear Stella behind for more than a day or two so we were initially very nervous about the whole thing. Now we couldn't be happier that we decided to go with Grace for our cat sitting needs! Her communication was impeccable throughout the entire process and I received wonderful updates complete with adorable photos after every visit. She was punctual, reliable, and treated our home with the utmost respect. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a top-notch cat sitter.”


About: I currently foster dogs and teach basic training for puppies/young dogs. I have a lot of experience with high energy dogs. I have worked at with dogs at boarding kennels and a dog rescue in which I have handled a variety of different dogs breeds with many different personalities and needs. I take dogs to wildlife areas and the beaches to run on and off leash if client is confident with their dog listening. I currently work from home, and my schedule is pretty flexible. I can work Monday’s to Friday’s and most weekends. I will keep my schedule updated through the app. I have a fenced in yard and monitor dogs when outside. I monitor pets with toys and spend time playing with dogs. If requested, I will provided basic training lessons, but price will vary. I am trained in e-collar training. I also, use a method that is a mix positive reinforcement/treats with repercussions. Method of training or handling the dog is discussed with the client and what training shall be focused on. I am trained in animal behavior and can notice if dogs become aggressive with people or other animals if requested for dogs to engage with other dogs. I always encourage clients to have their dogs engage in activities outside the home to get the dog more comfortable around people, other dogs, and people. Also to be handled walking on a leash and practice good behavior. Unless the dog is extremely aggressive and not good around other people or animals, I believe it is crucial for young dogs to practice socializing. Please be honest and inform me of any medical issues, aggression, other behavioral issues, and what toys they are allowed to have.

About: Thank you for considering me to care for your dogs. I know it’s not an easy decision. I have always had a family dog. I have run an in home doggy day care, owned a pet treat bakery, earned my Vet Tech degree, worked in veterinary clinics, a specialty animal hospital, and as a pet nutrition consultant. I have cared for young and old, sick and healthy. I have seen everything at this point. One of my dogs had seizures so I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with a pet with medical conditions. I’m here to help. I hope to make this my full time job aside from mom. I have 2 daughters and 2 dogs. Check ins fit nicely into our busy family schedule. I’ll take time for each pet. Chatting with them, snuggles, pets, let me know what they need and I'll do my best to make sure they feel your love!

About: I've had a lifetime of experience with training, handling and caring for animals. Service is customized to your animals needs for your peace of mind. I am a part time housekeeper and I am able to schedule pet care around my cleanings to pet owners specifications for peace of mind. I care for pets in their own homes according to pet owners specifications to accommodate pet needs. For their pets trust and peace of mind.

“Shyloh is so great! I would definitely have her watch my fur babies again, I had no worries at all leaving them with her. She was prompt and made sure they were well cared for! She even made sure their dishes were cleaned for when we got home.”


About: I grew up with family dogs and cats. You name it, we’ve had the breed. From chihuahuas, to huskies, to dobermans, to great danes. Therefore extremely comfortable with all sized fur babies. I have experience with all ages, from puppies as we have bred our great danes years ago, twice, to elderly dogs who are blind and/or deaf. etc. I actually have my own pup, she is a husky. Her name is cora and she is definitely a handful but i am blessed my hands are full with a smart, funny yet stubborn puppy haha. I also have cats, lazy fat house cats haha. I was looking for job opportunity that will allow me flexibility, work with fur babies (may or may not like them better then humans haha) and to be a mom to my 10 months old daughter as well, that is why i am pursuing Rover in hopes i can do it all at once. Looking forward to meeting your fur babies soon :) My pets daily care is naturally apart of my daily routine, she is family. Not just an animal. Animals cannot fend for themselves, it is important to me that my animals feel important, instead of a burden. My husky, Cora, is walked every two hours and fed two meals a day and has access to water 24/7. I am flexible to learn other animals schedules and eating times, as every animal is different.

About: I've always grown up with dogs, springer spaniels to be specific! I have watched dogs and cats for several years and can provide several references. I am comfortable administering medicine and adapting to animals needs. I have watched several types of breeds, from dachshunds to weimeraners. I also have experience with fostering a dog so if your fur baby is shy or skiddish I am very understanding and able to work with them! I will ensure your animal is well cared for and happy. I have open availability to care for your pets! I am flexible if you need a quick vacation or a longer stay. I can care for your pets as frequent as you would like me to. I would love to take your furry friends to a local dog park or their favorite spots for walking! I am vigilant in ensuring proper feeding and bathroom schedules, and will never leave your pet alone longer than agreed upon. I have experience administering several different types of medicine to dogs and cats, and am comfortable accommodating to any special health care needs! Let me know what's best for you and your pets needs, and I will fulfill your expectations!

“Great work, especially for a last minute request. We felt very comfortable knowing you were taking care of Gracie. We look forward to having you sit with Gracie and the new addition - Elley Mae”


About: As a pet sitter, what sets me apart is not just my passion for animals, but also my extensive experience working in a veterinary clinic and earning my CVA certification through rigorous internship training. This background equips me with a deep understanding of animal behavior and health, allowing me to provide specialized care tailored to each pet's unique needs. Whether it's training energetic puppies or providing gentle support for senior pets, I approach every furry friend with the highest level of expertise and compassion, ensuring their well-being and happiness while you're away. My routine revolves around ensuring that my furry friends are well taken care of every day. Mornings kick off with feeding, followed by energizing walks and playtime to get them going. Throughout the day, I make sure they get enough exercise and attention, with breaks for meals and bathroom breaks as needed. If any of them require grooming or training, I slot those sessions in too. Regular health check-ins are a must, so I keep an eye on their well-being throughout the week, and I'm ready to whisk them off to vet appointments or adventures in the park when needed. By sticking to this routine, I aim to provide a consistent and loving environment for my pets. I'm a student with a car with lots of flexibility. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. I start by meticulously following the pet's established routine, including feeding schedules, exercise regimens, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. Ensuring a safe environment is paramount, so I pet-proof the house, remove any potential hazards, and maintain cleanliness throughout my stay. Each pet receives personalized attention tailored to their needs, whether it's engaging playtime, refreshing walks, or administering medication. I continuously monitor their health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns and keeping the owner updated with regular communication, including photos and messages. Respecting the sanctity of my client's home, I adhere to house rules, maintain security measures, and leave the space as pristine as I found it. Ultimately, my goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care that allows pet owners to travel worry-free, knowing their beloved companions are in capable and loving hands.

Judith S.
“I have known Judith for over 12 years and can honestly state that her love for all animals is beyond question. Her care and love for her GSP, Dax, is without limits. The same can be said in regards to other animals. If a strange cat enters her yard, she immediately attempts to coax the cat closer so she can pet and comfort the animal. When her family has been over to visit, their dogs too get equal treatment as if they were hers. I know she takes the time to walk Dax more often than most. Judith is always attentative to the needs of the animal.”
