“This was the 2nd time that Wendy watched my dog, and I couldn't be happier with how it went! She was very communicative and responsive to any concerns or needs I had around scheduling or care for my dog. I came back to a happy and healthy fur-baby!”

“Kat was amazing!! It was our first time leaving our dog, so we were nervous about how it would go. Those fears very quickly flew away, because Kat went above and beyond in so many ways!! We highly recommend her to care for your fur babies. We will definitely use her again!”

“I couldn't be happier with Anna and the care she provided for my dog. My dog is 9 years old and also has some special needs (on anxiety meds), and I felt so at ease knowing that Anna was looking after her. She communicated proactively and sent me pictures and updates while I was away. I'm glad I already have her booked for my next out-of-town trip!”

“Dani did a great job with my pets. I came home to very happy critters. She really goes above and beyond with things like watering plants and getting the mail as well. She was also good about sending me pictures every day. It really gave me peace of mind. I can't recommend Dani enough. Truly top notch care for pets and home.”

“Daniel was excellent. Took care of my kitties while I was out of the country for 2 weeks and constantly kept me in the loop and sent me pictures of them daily. Would highly recommend him.”


About: Hello! Major animal lover here. Recently retired veterinary assistant. Have spent the last 14 years working with dogs and cats in various professional settings/contexts: boarding and daycare, animal shelters, high-volume spay/neuter clinics, and full service veterinary clinics. I have also been caring for dogs and cats in my own home since I was a child. I will offer your pet/s compassionate, attentive care. You can count on me to be responsible, reliable, professional, and fun! My schedule is very flexible. At the moment, I am free most days of the week, including evenings/nights. My schedule is very open right now so I should be able to accommodate! I am unable to care for pets in my own home as I have a reactive Aussie mix, BUT, I am more than willing to stay the night or day in your home to care for your pets, following all instructions and guidelines to the T.

“Daila is the absolute best! My girls & I loved her. This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have picked a better sitter. She is super trustworthy and very responsive. We received so many updates while on our trip.”

“Paul was absolutely wonderful as a house sitter! He was so attentive when we met and asked so many good questions about our pets' habits that I could tell right away he was going to really take care of them. Our house was in perfect shape when we returned and he provided great updates each day while we were gone. I will definitely hire Paul again!”

About: I have dog sit for multiple people and loved it! I’ve had dogs all my life and I always walk them, at the moment I have 2 large dogs a pitbull and a hound and I walk them almost daily. I also have a cat who I love! Yes! I wake up let out my dogs and feed them I then take them on a walk and feed them and let them out again that night. I always make sure they have water and food and make sure they get out then they need to. I’ll play with them if they want to play and make sure they get any medication needed.
About: Hello my name is michkayla im a single mom that’s unfortunately between jobs I do lots of handyman type side work but not quite cutting at the moment i recently just got my puppy Rufus who was a stray when I found him and it reminded just how hard leaving a pet alone at home all day can be so I figured with my love for pets I’d give this thing a shot im very patient and know how to handle dogs and other pets safely I did 3 yrs of animal science in high school and have 25 yrs of owning pets I’m currently job searching and full time parenting a three yr old im always available from 9-3 for any pet kid friendly anytime before or after those time I ask pets to be kid friendly as I’ll most likely have my child with me I give pets time to get used to me before approaching I’ll often follow up with common training and of course lots of love and some possible treats (with approval from parents )
About: I grew up in a home that always had dogs, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and I understand that each animal has different needs, personalities, and levels of care. My sister also owns six cats, which has given me experience being around kittens, senior cats, and cats with health issues over the years. Through that, I’ve learned how important patience, attentiveness, and affection are when caring for animals. I genuinely love being around animals — seeing their personalities, making them feel comfortable and happy, and of course spending time cuddling and playing with them. I would love the opportunity to spend time caring for animals this summer, so please feel free to reach out if you think I could be a good fit! I currently work T/TH afternoons and M-F evenings. Looking for part time, one time, or daily help to offer! I am available between jobs, around every four hours maximum, and available for overnight. I am unable to have animals in my home due to roommates with allergies, but am more than willing to pet sit and spend time in your home. I will treat your home with respect, as I would like mine treated, and your pets as if they are human babies (they are basically).
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I have always had at least one cat, and had dogs for 17 years of my life. I have also taken care of family and friends’ pets while they are out of town plenty of times. I am available all day every day for any kind of pet needs, and I can house cats overnight, however, I am unable to house dogs overnight. I am within walking distance of a dog park, and can bring animals inside or outside, whichever their needs are. I can also keep and transfer pets inside crates as needed.
“Abby was incredibly attentive to my cat and sent frequent updates while I was away, and even took the time to ask several questions in our initial meeting to ensure all important details were communicated. My cat is VERY shy around people and yet by the end of my trip, Abby gained her affection - which speaks to how dedicated they were to genuinely caring for my cat. Definitely would recommend Abby a sitter for those that wants their pet to be taken care of like family :)”
