“Lizzy is great! She took great care of our kitties again while we were on vacation. I appreciated her thoughtful updates daily letting me know how our cats were doing. She even noticed a small scratch near my cats eye and monitored it daily to make sure it didn’t get worse. She is very attentive and reliable.”

“Jessica was great with my 3 dogs. Was on-time with showing up and took plenty of photos. I will definitely be using Jessica in the future and would highly recommend.”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl. I have some vet experience, and have house sat for many friends. I am very patient with dogs and cats. I treat any animal as my own and have personal training experience with my dog as well. I am currently working part time and have a lot of time during the week and weekends to play with your fur babies to give you a piece of mind! Unfortunately I have 3 animals at home so I am not able to have animals at home :( I love dogs and cats and want to help anyone who may not have as much time to get out with their fur babies or for those that just need a breather!

“Luckaia is a wonderful Petsitter and she made my first time using Rover a breeze. Ellie Mae loved her very much and it was evident from the happy photos of them both smiling. She truly loves dogs and is exceptional at caring for animals. Thank you!”

“She was great with my two dogs! Definitely recommend!!”

“Made me feel very comfortable entrusting her with my fur babies. Also, I have to say awesome job bc of course my shy pup needs insulin and she must have gotten Harley to warm up to her pretty quickly. I got great updates and never felt anxious or nervous about my babies being in good hands!”

About: With 16 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and well-being. My experience includes everything from daily walks and feeding to administering medication, grooming, and providing loving companionship. I recently left my career as a mental health therapist to homeschool my child. He has a huge passion for animals, and in addition to our pup at home, we both would like more experiences taking care of and being around other animals. We have time out in the community built into his school schedule each day where checking-in or dog walking would fit in nicely. I will work to build rapport and get to know your pet’s behaviors, routines and any special needs. I’ll strictly adhere to your guidelines for feeding, exercise and any special care needed. I’ll be sure to keep your home secure by locking doors and securing gates to ensure the safety of your pet and home. I’ll treat your home with care and communicate with you regularly. I’m highly observant and will watch for any signs of illness or distress in your pet and will address them and reach out to you promptly.

“Holly took great care of our dogs while we were out of town! She was very friendly and respectful of our house, and our dogs loved her. Would definitely use her again in the future.”

Callie A.

“Thank you so much Tessa! She did a great job taking care of my two cats and I could trust that they were in good hands. She brought in packages that came while we were gone and even left treats for both kitties even though they hid most of the time. I definitely will rebook in the future!💜”

Isabel J.

“Leah was absolutely amazing! She spent 45 mins getting to know our 3 pups and myself during our meet and greet and I instantly knew that she was going to give them so much love. We have 2,4,and 8 yr old dogs. She gave them lots of love and attention and checked in frequently with us. The pictures were some of the cutest we’ve seen of them. The updates were extra detailed and she even helped out with our trash bins which we’d forgotten when leaving out of town. We will definitely rebook Leah any time we head out of town!”

About: I’ve had family dogs since I was born, and I can’t live without them! I’ve grown very passionate about training my dogs since 2020, and highly value promoting a healthy and happy lifestyle- especially involving physical/mental exercise, socialization, and healthy foods. As a full time nurse, I regularly practice patience, compassion, and consistent routines. I currently work as a full-time night shift RN. However I fit pet care into most of my day whenever I’m home: including morning and evening walks, mental stimulation, monthly vet visits to keep up with medications, socializing my dog at the park multiple times a week I currently live in an apartment with a large dog park to run off-leash. However I love long walks around neighborhoods as well and always try to find public dog parks. I also have a very loving and affectionate 1 year old pup who loves to play and keep others company

“Julia was fantastic! This was the first time I’ve had to leave my furbabies for a week and the trip was unplanned and I was so nervous. Julia sent pictures, updates, and dealt with me being a helicopter dog mom!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes and species — from playful puppies and senior pets to cats, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and livestock. I’m Fear Free certified and trained in preventative care, nutrition, feline urinary health, and exotic & small mammal care. I also hold a Wildlife Rehabilitation Apprentice License (any wildlife I care for with never be in the house and your fur babies will never be exposed to them) I’m confident in safe handling, administering medications (oral, topical, and insulin), and caring for pets with medical needs, anxiety, or special requirements. I offer grooming services (no cuts) and like to send pets home with clean food and water bowls and fresh bedding. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, or needs extra cuddles, my goal is always the same: to keep them safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Clear communication is a priority, and I’m always happy to answer questions and tailor care to your pet’s unique needs. Bonus: - I also have military base access! - Drop ins on week days I'm available 1700-2200 (5pm-10pm) - Drop In’s on the weekend I'm available 0800-2200 (8am-10pm) I am currently available all the time as I am a stay at home mom. I also love working with animals in or outside a clinical setting. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities — whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. I create a calm, structured environment and tailor my approach to each animal’s needs, personality, and routine. When Pets Stay in My Home: - Safe, supervised environment: I keep a clean, pet-friendly home with secure areas for play, rest, and meals. Pets are never left unsupervised with unfamiliar animals. - Separate spaces if needed: If a pet is shy, anxious, or prefers their own space, I can safely separate them from others while still giving them plenty of attention and enrichment. - Clear safety plans: If I’m hosting more than one family at a time and any pet shows signs of stress or aggression, I follow a structured safety plan and communicate everything with you. - Fosters kept separate: I occasionally foster kittens or puppies, but they are always fully vetted and housed in a completely separate, contained area away from guest pets. - Comfort & routine: Pets have access to soft bedding, fresh water at all times, and plenty of affection, enrichment, and potty breaks. When I Care for Pets in Your Home: - Respecting your home and routine: I follow your instructions exactly — feeding schedules, medication routines, walk preferences, crate habits, and household rules. - Low-stress handling: I use Fear Free techniques to help pets feel relaxed, especially those who are nervous or slow to warm up. - Consistency: I keep pets on their normal routine to reduce stress and maintain a familiar environment. Experience You Can Trust: - I’m trained in safe animal handling, medication administration (oral, topical, and insulin), recognizing signs of stress or illness, and caring for dogs, cats, small mammals, and livestock. - I ask plenty of questions up front so I can fully understand your pet’s needs and keep them safe and comfortable. - I believe communication is key — you’ll receive honest updates, photos, and messages so you always feel connected.

“Kaleigh was fantastic with my pups. She took amazing care of my dogs, kept me up to date with what was going on, and helped me feel comfortable leaving without my dogs! Would recommend her to everyone!”

“We love Allie! She has taken care of our dogs twice now. Last week when I was out of the country, several work commitments came up for my husband that were unexpected. Allie was able to help with our dogs that day. Thank you, Allie!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for most of my life. Different sizes and breeds. Can handle walking and dropping in to check on all your pups! I am working remotely so am free to walk your pups or stop by and check on them. They are also more than welcome at my home for daycare if they are friendly with other dogs. I have a large fenced yard and 1 very calm and friendly dog. She loves friends if your pup needs to come to our house.
