“Ryan and Rebekah were awesome! My dogs loved them. They treated my dogs like their own, with lots of love, attention, and playtime. I loved getting pictures everyday. If you need a sitter I’d definitely recommend them!”
“Mallory did a great job of watching our dog Cooper. She and Emily were very responsive to any messages, very professional with the set up of the services and we were very stress free leaving the dog with them. Will absolutely be booking again in the future.”

“Ann took care of our dogs over the weekend. We had great communication from her, she was timely and my house looked the way it did when we left. She came and meet the dogs before hand and they loved her! Thank you!!!”

About: I have watched dogs of all ages from puppies to a 10 year old. Even though I don't have any formal training I can teach commands and potty training. I work part time in the evenings when my husband is home. I do leave during the day at times for 2 hours at the most for appointments for my kids. I love to stay busy and can help as many hours as you need. I live in an apartment but I do have 4 dogs, 3 cats and a gecko. My pets are a little rowdy at times but they all get along well even the cats.
“Kyla was wonderful and responsive and her photos showed how comfortable the cats were with her. She gave meds, did eye ointments and provided excellent care. We highly recommend her.”

“Excellent! Reliable, caring, extremely helpful when my flight was delayed to make sure Daisy was cared for properly, and even left a really adorable little gift for Daisy and me upon departure! ❤️”

“Jessica was great with our dog! She sent updates frequently throughout the visit and Wrigley had a great time! We are always so sad when we have to leave him, but felt really comfortable leaving him with Jessica.”


About: I have been around animals my entire life. I have had mostly dogs. My kids are also very animal oriented. I have cared for praying mantis, hermit crabs, tortoises, cocktail, hamsters, cats, dogs, bunny. These are most of the pets I have cared for. Walking them, helping groom them feeding them and spending time with them. I have trained both my cat and my dog many commands. They both know sit, speak, the dog knows shake and can switch, the cat is learning. I just enjoy being around animals. If I could I would have many more, but that is why I am here, so I can visit with other animals. I am currently not working and just enjoy spreading time with my older kids and my pets. I have time on my hands and want to be with animals so I am doing this and lining into volunteer opportunities with the local shelters Right now because I have pets at home I would be willing to come to your home and take care of your animals. When my husband is home i would be willing to do overnights if needed
About: I've owned and cared for dogs since I was a child! My husband and I have a rescue German Shepherd, his name is Kiba. He is 3. We have 3 kids. I have a dog and a cat! So taking care of animals is a part of my regular routine. But I'm also a stay-at-home-mom of 3 kids. So I'm home a lot and have the time! I've worked in many people's homes in the past, not with animals, and I'm very respectful of peoples spaces. I'm there to do a job and love your animal while you're busy! The same in my home, they'll be there to be loved when you can't!

About: Equally a cat and dog person. I love connecting with animals and giving them care. Always up for dog walks or a trip to the park. I currently work part time as a contractor doing website work, so i have plenty of flexibility and time for pet care and dog walks I show pets plenty of attention and pay close attention to safety concerns. They don't leave my site (or leash) if we're outside.

About: I have been with animals my whole life. Though not certified, I have trained dogs to heard cows. I’ve also helped them with extreme behavioral issues. I love understanding a dog’s body language. To out it simply I know how to act around most dogs. I have also helped my family take care of puppies! I work a job at a day care center Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I am able to let dogs out for a quick potty break around 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. I may leave for an hour or two during the weekend to meet up with my family, but never more than that if I am house sitting. I do my best to not only respect and love the animals of the home, but also your home itself. I will do my best to keep everything clean and leave it the way I found it. I am more than happy to meet an odd or long requests and instructions if they are written down for me!

About: Animals have been the heartbeat of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a ranch, I learned early on that caring for animals is a 24/7 commitment that requires patience, hard work, and a sharp eye for detail. From chickens and bunnies to cats and dogs—and even more unique pets like ferrets and birds—I was raised with the understanding that every animal has its own personality and specific needs. My parents gave me my first dog when I was 1, she was best friend till she passed away when I was 17 years old. I learned at a very young age how to care for dogs and all the responsibilities that go along with them. She was by my side, even when she passed. I have owned several more through my adult life and currently have 2 senior pups that have been with us since Itty bitty babies. As an animal mom myself, I know exactly how hard it is to head out on vacation. Leaving your fur babies behind and worrying about the level of care they are receiving can be incredibly stressful. Because I understand that bond, I promise that any pet in my care will receive the exact same level of love, attention, and high-standard care that I expect for my own. My goal is to give you total peace of mind; I’m here to make sure your pet’s routine is followed perfectly and their day is a little brighter while you’re away. My husband owns his own business and I am currently taking classes online at home on my own time to get my bachelors degree in accounting so rover fits my schedule perfectly and lets me do something I love. How perfect is that! Care in Your Home (Drop-ins & House Sitting) "When I care for your pets in your home, my priority is maintaining their sense of security and routine. I understand that a disruption in their environment can be stressful, so I focus on the details that matter: I stick strictly to your feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. Whether it’s a high-energy game of fetch or quiet snuggles for a senior pet, I’m there to provide genuine companionship, not just a quick visit. Care in My Home (Boarding & Daycare) "I treat every pet in my home like a member of my own family. My space is a 'pawsitive' environment where your fur baby can feel relaxed and loved while you’re away. Pets are never left unattended and have constant access to fresh water, cozy resting spots, a fenced in back yard, and plenty of affection. Can also crate if needed. Because I’m an 'animal mom,' I know that some pets need extra reassurance. I provide a calm, organized space where they can settle in quickly. Drawing on my years of experience growing up on a ranch, I am highly observant of animal behavior and health. I keep a close eye on their appetite, energy levels, and overall well being. You’ll receive regular photos and updates so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having, letting you enjoy your time away worry-free."
About: I am a reliable, and respectful animal lover who knows what your pets mean to you. I'm happy to provide frequent status updates with photos of your four-legged family! I have been a pet owner all my life and owned multiple different breeds of both dogs and cats. I appreciate the trust that it requires to let someone else care for them. I will treat your pets like they were my own, with reliable attention, care, and a lot of affection. I'm sure you'll find that I deal with humans just as well as I do their four-legged family. I currently work part time - and fully remotely - so I never need to leave you dog or cat alone (except maybe the occasional short errand)! I will be with them, providing care, attention, and play without pause. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all feeding schedules, litter box cleaning (for cats), frequent walks (for dogs), and care instructions carefully, while also spending quality time with each pet based on their personality—whether that’s play, attention, or giving them space. I make sure the environment stays clean, safe, and low-stress. I also prioritize clear communication, providing updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well. My goal is to make the experience as smooth and reassuring as possible for both the pet and the owner.
About: Besides the usual watching friends and families pets, I have had experience raising and caring for a kitten right from birth. I am very enthusiastic and catering towards all pet needs I currently work part time, leaving lots of time to spend taking care of your furry friends! Even when at work, I have a flexible schedule allowing me lots of time for extra attention As a pet watcher, they are my first priority. Both their safety and general wellbeing are put first and I aim to keep them as happy as you do!
