About: I’ve had over 50 years of caring for many breeds of dogs, including my own. I am respectful of others homes and can be trusted to give loving care to your dogs. I am a retiree that has a fairly open schedule and able to spend the night at your home. I may need to leave for an hour two at times for health appts. and going to our home to let our own dog out for a bit. I am flexible on how to care for your dogs in your home, including using a crate. I will respect your current ways of sharing your home with your dogs.
About: Hi! I would love to get to know your pets and give them all of the cuddles <3 I have experience cat and dog sitting for family and friends. I have grown up with dogs my whole life! My family dogs have a special place in my heart <3 They are between the ages of 8yrs and 10yrs. So, I've gotten transitional experience into taking care of senior dogs. The littlest of the two was diagnosed as a diabetic 3 years ago. So, I am well versed in administering under-the-skin injections and oral medications. Currently, I only have one cat living with me. She is a domestic medium-hair, and just over a year old. Even though I adopted her last May, she still has so much kitten energy and keeps me on my toes. As a graduated senior, I am quickly approaching an open-schedule. I work with the university, but my shifts are incredibly flexible. Additionally, I make it a point to not work the weekends, so I have 100% availability. I have the pleasure to have a fenced in backyard in a quiet, residential neighborhood. Your pets will have quick access for potty breaks and outside play time. The B-line trail is also just behind our house, so we can plan for plenty of walks while in my care. My cat, Mali, is a fully indoor cat and on Revolution Plus. As of June 2025, she is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations.
About: I've had my 2 cats and dogs for 12 years and adore them! I make new feline and canine friends easily so I'm happy to sit/walk yours as well! My work schedule is light right now so I have a lot of availability for sittings and walks and have done this a lot for friends. I am open to your specific directions for caring for your animals and am flexible. Write down any specific details and I will follow them. I am trustworthy and have house sat and dog walked for many friends and neighbors! People count on me!
“Kalee could tell I was nervous about leaving my cats for the first time. She was great - spending high quality time with them, sending me great pics. It put me at ease. I highly recommend Kalee.”
“Excellent care for our 2 indoor/outdoor cats! Always nervous having a new caretaker for our pets while we are away. From day 1 Regan made us feel confident that our Cats were in good hands!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child growing up in a household full of animals. I'm used to all dog sizes, breeds, and ages, having had a pitbull, chow chow, and elderly dogs myself. I'm here to put your mind at ease that your pet is in great hands :) I'm also a plant lover and have a green thumb, if you need any plant care! I'm currently working remotely, so I can adapt my schedule to your pets needs. Early in the morning, around lunch hours, and after 6pm is best for drop-ins, and my remote work allows me to stay over on nights / house sit if needed. I will always approach your pet however best you recommend - every pet is different, and I want to be sure I respect the ways that work best for them to adjust to having a new person in their home. Of course, I always use a soft voice, treats, and affection to ease them into it.
About: I have worked with animal shelter dogs for over one year, and am used to dogs with various temperaments and treatment needs. I am a huge animal lover and in addition to being a someone that will provide basic needs for your dog, I will also provide love and affection while you are away! As a PhD student who is finished with coursework, my research schedule can be pretty flexible, and I can change what I need to do schedule wise on most weeks. I can prioritize pet care times and work my grad school schedule around these times. As someone who is able to house sit in client's homes, I will be able to take care of any breed of dog through feeding them and regular potty breaks, and can ensure regular walks/playtime as well. I am very attune to different dogs having different personalities and needs, and can adjust as needed to client wishes/concerns.
About: I have taken care of animals for friends and family for years! I love taking care of dogs and cats, and giving them extra love. I’m temporarily unemployed (actively looking for a job) so I have all the availability in the world. Once I have a new position, I’ll readjust! I’m a very adaptable person who love rules and information, I’ll always work closely with you to ensure your fur babies’ have the consistency needed.
“Nichole checked in on my senior dachshund Reggie twice a day for a week. She always sent cute pictures and descriptions of their time together. Reggie also needed eye drops applied during both of his daily visits and Nichole had no problems doing so. She did a great job taking care of reggie and I would definitely have her back again.”
“Audrey has been an absolute lifesaver and an amazing sitter. Our dog adores her and is always tired at the end of her visits from all of the fetch they play! We are thankful to have someone so reliable to call when we have a weekend trip or vacation that we can’t take our dog on. This was our first couple of times using Rover and we would recommend Audrey to anyone!”
“She came at approximate time's agreed on. She was 1.5 hour late once. But I'm a little overprotective of my only feline fur child. Lol. My main irritation is she did not seem to follow feeding instructions however. I had clear instructions on everything typed up. With everything out. I know because I have caregivers who came some to check on things when she was not here. She gave my girl the dry food only apparently. And a lot of it. I do not like to feed dry food. But my girl has become very picky with eating. So I mix it up often. I had instructions for the dry, wet and freeze dried foods. I had a bag of opened food that should have lasted until my return had the instructions been followed. I bought a new bag and extra canned food so I would not have to get any food once home from my vacation. The remaining amount of the dry was not only gone but the new bag was opened and used. It appeared very little of the canned food I purchased was gone. I know Tawny does mostly boarding. But if is going to agree on drop in for cats she should follow th feeding instructions. My girl has been difficult with eating her canned food since I got home.”
“Dani did a great job with our puppy today. She came twice and followed the instructions, which were many, to the letter. He communication was excellent and we will definitely use her again!”

“Katie is truly amazing with animals! She’s incredibly loving and gentle with our 14-month-old kitty cat, Mali — always cuddling with her, playing, and making sure she feels safe and adored. Katie has two dogs back home, Gracie and Luna, who absolutely adore her, and she treats them like her babies. She’s constantly feeding and petting the neighborhood cats, and she lights up every time she sees an animal. Her phone is filled with thousands of photos of her furry friends — each one loved like family. Katie is kind, reliable, and has a natural, heartfelt connection with animals. You can trust her completely to care for your pets as if they were her own.”
Elliot J.
“Elliot is truly one of the most loving and caring individuals I have ever met when it comes to animals. His compassion extends not only to pets but also to wildlife, and he always goes above and beyond to ensure every creature feels safe and cherished. Whether he’s caring for a friend’s dog, rescuing a stray kitten, or gently helping a wild bird in need, Elliot’s huge heart shines through in everything he does. His kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals make him a wonderful friend to pets and people alike.

“Nicole is a fantastic pet owner and wonderful human being. She is both very responsible and hardworking. She has taken excellent care of her cat throughout the time I have known her and prioritizes the wellbeing of her pet as a top priority. Furthermore, her empathy as an individual is exceptional; I believe empathy is the most important trait in a caregiver and Nicole demonstrates her extensive capacity of empathy on a regular basis.”
Jonah W.
“Jonah has a really calming energy when it comes to being around all animals. I have worked with him at the animal shelter with the dogs and he is able to connect to the dogs in a way that a lot of people are not able to in a short period of time. Jonah really cares for the dogs and treats them like they are his own and takes really good care of them when he walks and plays with them! I have seen dogs and cats open up around him and I can tell Jonah also loves being around them as well! Anyone would be lucky to have Jonah watch their animals!”
