“Delilah was awesome! She is sweet and my cats were happy and healthy when I returned home! I worried about leaving them and Delilah took great care of Hobbes and Sherlock. I will definitely book Delilah again!”

“Had a wonderful first experience with Cathy! She was attentive, caring, and always made sure to communicate. My cat needed eye drops 3 times a day due to an infection and she did an excellent job caring for my baby. I would highly recommend Cathy!! I can’t say how much I appreciate her being so flexible and accommodating for my pets needs. Thank you Cathy you are amazing!!!”

“Liberty did amazing with our dogs and I don’t say that lightly. We have a grumpy old man dog and a rambunctious aussie and she won them both over to the point of them looking for her when we got home! Our dogs get medication and multiple supplements and she had no problems accommodating that. We have a Fi collar and our aussie got more steps with Liberty than she even does with us. We (including the dogs) are so glad to have found her!”

“Our experience with Jenna was exceptional. She took excellent care of our fur babies and put a worried fur mama's mind at ease during our vacation by sending lots of pictures!! Communication with Jenna was effortless. We will definitely consider using Jenna again!!”

“Jordan did an amazing job watching my two pups in my home. I will be using her again for sure as her schedule permits!”

About: With over 50 years of experience, I offer pets gentle, loving care like family. I treat every animal with patience, warmth, and genuine compassion. I pay close attention to their needs, routines, and personalities—no detail is too small. From special diets to belly rubs, your pet’s comfort and happiness always come first. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I don’t have a full-time or part-time job, so I have plenty of time to focus on your pet’s needs. I also care for two pets at home, so my daily routine already revolves around feeding, walking, playtime, and lots of love. In My Home: I care for pets in a safe, loving environment. My two friendly dogs enjoy a large, fenced-in yard where everyone can play freely and securely. I supervise all interactions closely, provide clean water, regular meals, and plenty of playtime—like fetch, walks, and cuddle breaks. I also give baths when needed and keep a calm, peaceful home where pets feel safe and welcome. In Your Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or special routines. I treat your home with respect and your pets like family, making sure they feel calm, comfortable, and loved in their familiar space.

“Nathan was wonderful. He sent photo updates, was responsive if I messaged and took great care of our two Great Danes. Finding a competent sitter for large dogs is hard, but Nathan was great and they loved him too.”

About: Hello, my fellow fur baby lovers! I am an experienced dog and cat owner and caretaker. I have grown up dogs and cats since I was a child which I was always responsible for the training and exercising of them. I have even trained my 15-year-old kitty to not jump on counters and be near food when she was just a baby. So, whether you have a puppy, kitten, teenager fur baby, or a senior pet; I will treat them with love and care while their humans are on their adventures. They will be taken care of by me until you get home for more cuddles! I am currently working only part time, so I have plenty of time in my schedule to check in or stay with your fur babies! I have a fenced area in my back yard that pups can use for potty and play. When I am house sitting, I will coordinate with every single owner with how their fur baby needs to be taken care of just like when their humans are taking care of them!

“Kristen did an excellent job with taking care of our two dogs and home! This was our first time using Rover and we were a little nervous but our dogs absolutely loved her and she was incredibly considerate. She was even patient and helpful when our AC unit had issues while we were away. We came home to happy dogs and a nice neat home with a kind note and treats!! I would highly recommend her!”

About: I have worked in vet med and have had animals my whole life. I am currently obtaining my vet tech degree and use those skills to give the best possible care. I am obtaining my degree and working a few days a week while I work on it. We are able to create a happy and healthy environment in for all animals in our care. I am skilled in administering medications and managing stress with a variety of animals. I have experience working in vet med and can adjust my home environment to accommodate for differing needs.

About: I live in Bent Tree, have a flexible schedule, lots of experience with house sitting and pet sitting, and will always prioritize communication. I’m willing to take overnight pet sitting opportunities that are further than what my radius is! I have pet sat many animals with individual needs/preferences, including but not limited to administering medicine, and am willing to go above and beyond to fulfill the needs of your animals! I am a college student, but do my schooling online so I have plenty of time on my hands. I love spending time with animals and being a pet sitter for the past 3 years has been a dream job for me! Many of my clients from my own business have me stay overnight or for all day pet care in their home. I always respect the space in my clients home and make sure to update them frequently on their pets. I cannot sit pets in my home as I have territorial animals, but I’ve noted pets love the comfort of their own environment :)

“So glad to have found MaryKate. I have a dog with high anxiety and it’s difficult to get away. He was completely comfortable with her, and I had a great stress-free weekend away. Oh, and two senior cats. No problem.”

About: With a lifelong passion for dogs, I bring a wealth of experience to my dog sitting services. Growing up with dogs, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Now, as a proud dog mom of three fur babies and the owner of a small business tailored just to pups, you can rest assured that your babies will be cared for in a loving and fun environment. 🫶🏼🫶🏼 As a full-time worker with flexible hours, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine through thoughtful planning and prioritization. Here is what a day in our household looks like with my 3 pups to give you an idea: **Morning Ritual**: Each morning, I dedicate the first 30 minutes to an hour to my pups. This includes a refreshing walk or playtime, allowing them to stretch their legs and get some exercise while I enjoy the fresh air and bond with them. **Flexible Breaks**: With my flexible work schedule, I can take advantage of breaks throughout the day. During these breaks, I make it a point to check in on my pups, giving them attention, a quick play session, or just some affectionate cuddles. **Midday Engagement**: When my work allows, I set aside time around lunchtime to either take my dogs out for another short walk or engage them in interactive play. This keeps them stimulated and helps break up their day. **Evening Quality Time**: After work, I prioritize quality time with my pups. Whether it’s a longer walk, a visit to the dog park, or training sessions, I make sure they get ample exercise and mental stimulation, reinforcing our bond. **Weekend Adventures**: On weekends, I plan longer outings or fun activities, such as hiking, going to the lake, adventures to the ballpark or visiting pet-friendly places. This not only provides them with physical exercise but also allows us to work on social interaction while exploring and enjoying our time together. By incorporating these strategies, I ensure that my pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for, all while successfully balancing my work commitments. Now, this is merely just an example of my every day with my own boys, When imagining what you may or may not need when it comes to caring for your pet, customizing yours and your pet’s needs is always essential. Caring for someone else's pet in their home requires attention to detail, respect for their routines, and a genuine love for animals. Here is what that looks like when tending to your pet and their needs: 1. **Understanding the Pet’s Needs**: Before starting, I have a detailed conversation with the pet owner to learn about the pet’s daily routine, dietary needs, exercise requirements, and any specific behaviors or quirks. 2. **Following Instructions**: Adhering strictly to the care instructions provided by the pet owner. This includes feeding schedules, medication administration, and any special care instructions. 3. **Creating a Comfortable Environment**: When possible, I like to do a meet & greet with the pup(s) and their owners to ensure they are comfortable come time for me to start caring for them. Maintaining the pet's usual environment as much as possible. Keeping their sleeping area, toys, and feeding spots in the same locations to minimize stress. 4. **Establishing a Routine**: Sticking to the pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. Consistency helps the pet feel secure and comfortable while their owner is away. 5. **Providing Plenty of Attention**: Spending quality time with the pet to ensure they feel loved and cared for while their owner is away. Engaging in play, training, or simply cuddling to keep them happy. Of course happy to incorporate things you as a pet owner may request as needed. 6. **Staying Active**: Ensuring the pet gets enough physical activity according to their needs. Taking them for walks, playing fetch, or engaging in other activities they enjoy. 7. **Maintaining Cleanliness**: Keeping the pet's living area clean. This includes regularly changing their water, cleaning up after them, and maintaining their litter box if applicable. 8. **Monitoring Health and Behavior**: Keeping an eye on the pet's health and behavior. Such as changes in appetite, appearance, mannerisms or energy levels, notifying the owner immediately. 9. **Emergency Contacts**: I make sure to have a list of emergency contacts, including the owner's vet and an alternate emergency contact. Knowing what to do in case of an emergency. 10. **Providing Updates**: Regularly updating the pet owner on how their pet is doing. Sending photos or messages to reassure them and keep them connected to their furry baby. These guidelines I have can ensure you that your pet will receive the best care possible while you’re away. Fostering trust and peace of mind for both you and your pet. 😇🫶🏼
