“Great first time experience with Rover & our sitter, Brenda! She treated our Gizmo as her own & kept us updated with texts & pictures. He was as clean & happy when we picked him up as when we dropped him off. A+++?”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Growing up with pets taught me how to handle all kinds of breeds, personalities, and needs from feeding and walking to bath time and snuggles. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to love on their fur babies like they were my own. Whether it’s playful pups or older pets who need extra patience, I show up with love, reliability, and experience. I work full-time, but I’m still available for evening walks, drop ins, and weekend care. My schedule stays consistent, and I always make time to give your pet the attention and care they need. Whether it’s playtime after work or overnight boarding on weekends, I’ve got you cover I don’t have a fenced yard, but I live near a big open field and have a dog park right in my complex plenty of space for safe outdoor play. I’m mindful, attentive, and follow your pet’s routine closely. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.
“We couldn’t have been more pleased with Alexis as our dog sitter while we were away on our trip. She was incredibly attentive to our dog’s needs and went above and beyond to make sure Molly was well cared for. Alexis made us feel like she cared just as much about our dog as we do, showing a genuine love for animals that goes beyond just doing it for the money. We truly appreciate her dedication and compassion. Without a doubt, Alexis will be the first person we call the next time we need a sitter. We love her and highly recommend her to anyone in need of pet care!”
“Dustin was absolutely amazing! He took such great care of Juno. I didn’t worry one second about her. He kept me informed throughout her stay, let her run and play, and pampered her better than I do! I can’t recommend Dustin for pet sitting and boarding highly enough.”
About: I have never not had a dog or cat in my house. I worked at an animal shelter for a year. Will gladly feed, bathe, and love on dogs or cats of all shapes and sizes. I work Monday-Friday from 8 am - 5 pm, but I take my lunches at 12 pm to walk and feed my animals at home. I always have weekends off. If you need any other information about my schedule, just ask, and I will gladly let you know. <3 I will gladly do almost any service in your home for your animals. As long as I am left a list of tasks, I will let you know what I am comfortable and uncomfortable with doing.

Michelle S.
“Michelle is AMAZING! I seriously can’t say enough good things. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and knows how to handle them with patience and care. My dog can be a little nervous around new people, but he warmed up to Michelle immediately. She gave me regular updates, sent the cutest pics, and followed all my care instructions perfectly. When I picked him up, he was calm, clean, and clearly well loved like he had a little vacation of his own. I also really appreciated how professional and down to earth she was. You can just feel that she takes this seriously and treats your pet like family. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 10/10. Highly recommend. 🐾”
