About: Since I was around 5 or 6 I was always drawn to different types of animals especially horses, dogs, and cats. Everyone whose met me will tell you they would trust me with their pet cause of how well taken care of mine are. I also have years of veterinary technician experience and I am certified in Dog and Cat First Aid including CPR. I do work full time but get off around 1 or so. My summer availability does open up a good bit so I'll be able to do more and be a bit more flexible. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat of my own and everyone whose been around me knows that mine are spoiled rotten and I do the same for theirs. What other way would it be though?
“I’d give more than 5 stars if I could! My dog Tate stayed with Holly before and we had a great experience. I made the mistake of trying someone else I thought would be good a good fit for him for a long trip, but they quickly canceled once I dropped him off and left for my trip. My dog is blind and struggles with anxiety. Holly has been nothing short of wonderful for me and Tate. She had no problem managing his anxiety and disability, and I am so thankful for her taking Tate for a long time with no notice. Hopefully she will take care of Tate again because I do not plan on asking anyone else!”
“The BEST rover sitter I’ve ever used. Keja worked with my dog when other sitters would have given up. She was not only patient with my dog, but tried to problem solve to see what worked best for him. She replied back quickly and sent multiple update videos and photos. I’m so appreciative of her services!”
“Shardee is such a kind person and she took great care of my fur baby! She maintained great communication giving me daily updates, sending plenty of pics and videos, and Bear even came home with a fresh bath and a cute new bandanna! He was a happy pup under her care and I would definitely book with her again! Thanks again Shardee!”
“Bonnie was wonderful with Sophie. Sophie is older and Bonnie was patient and loving. Sophie had a difficult time leaving them. I would recommend Bonnie for all your pet needs. Thank you again Bonnie.”
“This is the 3rd time we have used Ricky's services. He has been a very reliable sitter for both our dogs and genuinely loves and cares for dogs. We highly recommend him and his services.”
“Our fur babies were left with Amy for the first time. She did a great job. She took care of our babies and kept us updated. We will use her again in the future and recommend her to anyone needing their fur babies taken care of.”
“Don’t delay….book with Sophia and Trey!! Our pup Lucy stayed with them over the Thanksgiving holiday while we were in town visiting family. Due to our crazy travel schedule, we needed to make some unexpected and very last minute changes to the reservation. They were so very flexible about it and went above and beyond to kindly accommodate us. I loved the pics and updates they sent. It was clear that Lucy had a fabulous time and her love tank was filled to the brim. I will definitely book with them again when I’m back in town visiting family. 💜”
“Mary Bess was awesome ! We felt comfortable leaving our dogs with her as she has a nice big fenced in yard !and plenty of room in her house for the dogs to roam. She is highly recommended and we will for sure be using her again !”
About: I have had dogs since I was 5, and I have also taken care of everything from hamsters to horses. I have pet sat for family and friends for the better part of 10 years. I personally own a cat, and she is completely indoors. My roommate also has a dog that lives mostly inside and we take it on regular walks. I'm confortable with dogs if all sizes, and willing to run or walk with them. I am also very comfortable handling dogs of any temperament- be they aggressive, shy, or friendly. I am available at any time, even for emergencies. My current schedule allows me to be very flexible and open to help you and your pets get the care they need. I have worked in multiple pet care environments, from vet hospitals to trainer kennels, and have had the opportunity to work with dogs of multiple dispositions and temperaments. I know how to handle myself and your pet in a manner that can keep both of us safe and happy.
“Halla was excellent with our Baxter! He had gotten sick the day before she was to pick him up and she did a great job of keeping us updated on how he was feeling/acting which took a lot of the worry away! Will definitely use again!”
“As my best friend has gotten older and developed health issues, it’s so comforting to know he’s being cared for by such wonderful people. Trust is priceless, and I completely trust Heather and David”
“Excellent!! Lori is an amazing petsitter! She sent me pictures and updates and had a fenced in back yard as well as a doggy door. My babies didn't want to leave! She truly treated Cable and Floof like her own fur children! She asked me questions any time she wasn't sure about their food or habbits. I'm so glad I found her! Will be using her every time we go out of town!”
“The best sitters! Pyro loved his time here and got along great with their pup too! Could always count on them to send me photos and keep me in the loop! Will definitely be using them again!”
“Fantastic! Highly recommend. I had to go out of town last minute for two weeks half way across the world and didn’t know Hunter prior. Well, let me say I would leave my German shepherd with Hunter and his wife again and again. It was clear his well-being was a priority and he got along super well with their two pups. I received daily video, photo, and text updates about my dog, Kuno. They even gave him a bath midway through his two week stay. We did a meet and greet at a local park a couple days before my trip, and that went well, and I appreciated all the communication I received before during and even after his stay. Hunter and his wife even helped me out by picking Kuno up when I was running late for the airport. Kuno was sad to leave their house and he’s been sleeping off all the fun he had. Definitely reach out to this couple! Thanks again!!”
“Reagan took great care of Rosie during boarding and was flexible with drop off and pickup. Rosie can sometimes be anxious in new environments but was very comfortable and happy staying with Reagan and her golden, George. Highly recommend!”

Nicky P.
“Nicky is, without a doubt, the biggest animal lover I know. Her life revolves around her own fur babies and she never hesitates to help others with theirs. I have 10 animals of my own, 5 different species, and she's the only person I would ever trust caring for my beloved pets because I know she will always show them as much love as I do. She is VERY knowledgeable about proper pet care and takes it very seriously. She's honest, trustworthy, and has a heart of gold. Any pet would be incredibly lucky to be under her care.”
