About: My passion for animals and love towards animals. I currently have 3 dogs two huskies and one lab mix. I’m super excited to start dog sitting because being with animals is my happy place! Please reach out if you need somewhere for your dog to stay while away or I can even come to you!! With my 3 dogs I have a daily routine. We wake up at 8am and they go outside and run around the fence while I get their first meal ready. They eat and then get kennel for 30 minutes to let food settle before playing again. They then have the whole day to play and do as they want along with an hour walk. We typically play fetch for at least an hour a day and then they get their second meal. I constantly make sure my dogs are happy and have something to do. Weather it be playing with toys or enrichment toys to get their energy and brain going. They get brushed daily, teeth brushed and walks. My dogs are my everything as I don’t have kids.
“Very thankful to David for visiting my cats on short notice when I had to be out of town unexpectedly. Great communication and detail to our needs. Nice to my boys! Highly recommend David!”
“Again, Megan went above and beyond with my dog, and was great about communication. It's clear she is very knowledgeable about taking care of dogs.”
About: As a previous veterinarian assistant with over two years of experience and a current animal nutritionist, i am passionate about all things animals! I feel comfortable administering any medication and can help with any level of care required for your fur baby. Currently I am working full time but I am free during the evenings and also during the weekends. During the weekend I am available all day. I can provide long walks and play with your fur baby if a fenced in yard is provided. I have two dogs of my own who are dog friendly but currently live an apartment where they have a dog limit restriction. I can house sit when notified in advance.
“He did amazing with our pups. We have 4 of them and was worried about having someone watch them as this was our first rover experience. We were so happy with the results. We have cameras in our home so we could see everything and he was so good with our dogs. One of them even got sick and he cleaned it up with out hesitation. Thank you!”
“Kari was amazing and was flexible even during schedule changes. My cat was so happy to see her every day of her visit. If I need to ask for a sitter I would definitely ask her and will recommend her!”
About: I’ve cared for many animals from cats and dogs to guinea pigs, beardies and even snakes. I promise I will treat your fur baby as if they are my own. I am a stay at home mom with a 3 year old and a 6 year old school going kiddo. We adventure frequently but never more than a few hours. I have a fenced in yard and two female labs to keep your kids company. They love to play and are very kind. I also have two cats who keep to themselves for the most part upstairs but visit upon occasion. I can check in on cats in your home.
“This booking was just for a two day drop in for my cats and I couldn’t be happier. Crystal was very communicative and flexible with her schedule. On top of all that, very kind, and I know my cats loved her. It was very good work, I’d trust her to watch my cats longer if needed. Would definitely recommend Crystal and hope I can book her again!”
About: I have been around many different animals throughout my life. I love making sure that they are taken care of because they deserve so much love. I can do visits in the mornings and later in the evenings. But once my schedule opens up more in the summer I can come around more often in the middle of the week. I live in an area that has a dog park. I have two cats but they can easily be put away when needed to be.
“This was our first time using a service like. We had Sarah check on our kitties while we were on vacation. She was great! She sent us updates and pictures each visit telling us how kitties were doing and eating. I know we will be using her again in the future. Thanks so much Sarah!”
“So glad we found Linda and was nice meeting her. I feel I could totally trust her staying in our home overnights too. Our boxer Myka is usually Leary of new people in our house. Takes her a while to go to them. But she literally ran up to her and was all over her wanting to play. Guess dogs really do have instinct on who are comfortable with them & love them. I forgot to get more toys & balls for them to play with though . Oops.”
“Celeste was awesome! She was so good with our dog and communication was great while we were away. We’ll definitely be using her in the future!”
“Rachel was great! She took care of cat very well and was responsible and reliable!”
About: Hi, I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember. I don’t think there’s anything better in the world than bringing in an animal and making them a part of the family. I would love to help with anyone’s family no matter big or small :) I work full time but I can help with any drop in requests for the weekend or afternoon. I will do my best to be available! I treat animals like family. Anyone who would willingly disrespect an animal is no friend of mine. All they can do is love unconditionally so I couldn’t imagine being mean to one.
“I highly recommend Morgan. I’m a first time River yer, and the service given was just as promised. Morgan provided excellent care to my two cats. I will book her for cat care again.”
“Danette took great care of my cat while I was out of town for a few days over 4th of July weekend! He was well fed and well loved, and I could tell he was very content despite my being away. I would definitely recommend her, and will look to her again if I need care for him in the future.”
“Appreciate her showing up on site short notice always great with the puppies”
About: I grew up with pets, have two of my own and have been taking care of friends’ and family’s fur babies ever since! My best friend of 17 years is a rescue named Lilly. She has brought us experience with almost every medical condition known to animal kind so I’m comfortable with administering medication, cleaning up messes, and everything in between. I’ve had experience working with puppies to seniors, as well as homes that have to have split parties because of behavioral issues. I enjoy a walk just as much as our four-legged friends too! Your pets are your children and they should be treated that way! I currently work full time, but fit any request that I can into my schedule! I currently have the capacity for before and after work visits as well as staying at a client’s home in the evenings to keep the fluffs company and make sure they can get their energy out! I have the ability to work remotely one weekday a week if needed, and my work hours are typically 9-5 on the other days. I will be opening up my availability more in June! I understand it’s of the utmost importance that your pet’s routine stays as normal as possible! I prioritize and respect being able to follow the specific guidelines of each of my families. I take whatever extra precautions necessary to make sure your furbaby is safe and sound upon your return!
“Courtney has been awesome with our puppy Stanley! She was able to schedule with us on short notice and has been super flexible with our schedule. Would recommend her for sure!”
“Rick was amazing dropping in for our two older dogs, one requiring several pills each visit. He made sure to let us know how they were doing. It made our trip so much easier knowing the dogs were getting great attention. We'll definitely be using Rick in the future.”

“I highly recommend my friend Annamae as a pet sitter and dog walker. She is a very active and dedicated college student who excels in her studies while also caring for her two beloved cats at home. Her attention to detail and deep compassion for animals truly set her apart. She always puts the needs of her animals first and understands the importance of providing them with the care and love they deserve — something she shows every day as a proud adopter of her two cats. She has a genuine love for all animals and a big heart for helping others. Any pet would be in excellent hands with her!”

As he has gotten older he took it upon himself to adopt a rescue dog who he does a great job caring for. You can tell how much she loves him. PJ would be very good with any animals that may be left in his care and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a reliable caretaker for their beloved pets. Jim H.”
