“Suzanna is an absolute gem. Lovely to chat with, lots of pics of my two pups and just made us feel so comfortable being away from our home. She is a perfect choice if you want someone in your home who cares about making sure you as well as your pets feel well taken care of and respected. 100% look forward to having her in our home again! Just a perfect experience.”


“Our pups did so well with Katherine. Usually one of our dogs does not eat well when we’re gone and that was minimized when Katherine was watching them. She was very respectful and clean. Would definitely book with her again!”


“Sasha was great with our senior dog. He was a tough customer at first, but she was so patient and kind, she won him over in no time. She did everything we requested of her and sent update pictures while we were away. She was very flexible, accommodating and punctual. She is such a sweet person with a true compassion for animals. We would highly recommend her, thank you :-)”


“Tori was great, she took very good care of our home and dog over this past weekend. Tori sent daily status emails and texts with several photos included. These helped keep us informed of how Toby was acclimating as this was the 1st time we had left him home with a sitter. Toby seemed to enjoy his time with Tori, and they went outside to play a few times a day.”


About: I have grown up around animals my whole life including living on a farm for 8 years that included cats, dogs (15lbs-130lbs), and many others! I have taken care of many different animals that have a wide range of sizes! I have also been a hospice fosters in the past am I am very comfortable giving oral meds, IM meds, or IV medication to your animals. Pet care is very important to me! Having grown up around animals my whole life, the most important thing to me is that the pet stays happy and healthy. Pet care falls into my everyday life because it is very important to me. Having pets at home means a happy face always waiting for you to come home and love on them again. I have 2 dogs and 5 horses currently (off property at a different barn). I’m happy to take your pet for a walk, play with them indoors or outdoors, or just hangout with them. If your pet requires a strict bathroom schedule, I can follow it. I’m happy to help keep your pet as happy as can be! For in home pet sitting, I’m happy to come hangout with your dog or cat during the morning, afternoon, or evening well providing play opportunities, meals/snacks, and bathroom break. I however, will not be able to spend the night at your place due to me having dogs of my own at home that I must take care of as well.

“She was great for a long stay. She stayed at our house and made sure our elderly do, Shakira, was happy and well treated. Shak was very happy and the house was very clean. She communicated well and actually did more for us than was expected. She is awesome!!”


“Leonard’s was wonderful! Her partner Jon who is also with Rover also stayed with our dogs. They were courteous, responsive and sent tons of picture updates. We had a great experience”


“Carmen was wonderful! My travel plans changed at the last minute and she was great to work with as I sorted out a new plan. My cat and two dogs really enjoyed their time with her, and she took great care of the house. I'm looking forward to booking her again for future travel!”


About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love for animals and over a decade of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. While I don’t have formal training, I’m highly dependable, quick to adapt to each pet’s unique needs and personality, and treat every animal as if they were my own. My focus is always on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule to care for pets as a recent college graduate seeking employment. You tell me when you need me and I’ll be there! Taking care of someone’s pet in their home is actually taking care of a pet in their home. It is my priority to know your pets schedule, likes, and dislikes to ensure it’s comfortability while your gone. (Some extra treats too!)

About: Hi! I’m Kendall and I’ve been around dogs since the day I was born, animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve been caring for pets professionally for over 5 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Whether it’s energetic pups who need playtime or senior dogs who just want cuddles, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m reliable, patient, and always follow your pet’s routine to keep things stress-free. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. Every day includes walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of snuggles, whether I’m caring for my own pets or someone else’s. I plan my schedule around their needs to make sure they get exercise, attention, and any special care like medications or grooming. Each week, I also take time to make sure everything is clean, organized, and ready for the pets I care for. It’s not just a job, it’s something I love and make a priority in my life. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their pets and space with the same respect I would my own. I follow their instructions closely from feeding and walking to any special needs like medications or behavior cues. I make sure pets stick to their usual routine to keep them happy and comfortable. I also keep clients updated so they can feel relaxed knowing their pets are in good hands.

About: I absolutely love fur babies!! I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was 15. I have volunteered In shelters, and I've been dog walking for 3 years! I've been caring for cats for about 4 years. I have fostered healthy cats, as well as helped nurse cats with FIP back to health! I currently work at a fine dining restaurant as a lead server, and am taking classes for my Sommelier certification, though it's typically only Thursday through Sunday 4pm to 11pm. Which leaves lots of day time hours for me to play and exercise your animals! I will first of course get to know the animal make sure they are comfortable with me, then we will walk in their preferred areas and play fetch/tug if we are able! I love to just sit and pet for the more gentle, more shy dogs, and run around with energetic pups!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and helped my mom with pet sitting when I was just a kid! Since then, caring for pets has become second nature to me. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter and have been for over two years, where I have gained hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including shy rescues, playful puppies, and senior pets who need a little extra love and patience. I truly treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away or whenever you need! I am currently only working part time on the weekends, so I will be available on weekdays from 9AM to 10PM. I am very flexible and I can accommodate if needed! When I’m in your home, I always treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I stick closely to your pet’s routine. I am very attentive to pet’s needs when it comes to both dog walking and pet sitting.

About: Nice to meet you! i’m a college student home for the summer and have taken care of different animals all my life, and often get asked by family and friends to pet sit-caring from animals as small as hamsters to larger dogs like german shepherds. I am very used to walking large dogs, as I have grown up with german shepherds all my life, and I am very used to taking care of animals with disabilities or special dietary needs. For example, my childhood dog had a pancreatic disorder where I fed her a special diet and am accustomed to carefully following directions and making sure everyone is safe and healthy. I absolutely love cats as well, I have a cat named Sam who is very very spoiled and loved. I am a very clean and responsible person who can be trusted to watch over your loved one and home. Thank you so much for your time ! :) I am a college student home for the summer so I am very available, please don’t hesitate in reaching out so we can coordinate a schedule! :) I will care for the pets and home with the upmost amount of care and respect. Im very concerned about making sure the pet is comfortable and safe at all times, and keeping the home very clean. I understand how stressful it can be to trust someone to take care of your loved ones and home, and I want to reassure you that I am very responsible, attentive, and communicative throughout the entire process. I will follow any specific instructions you provide and am happy to give regular updates, whether that’s photos, messages, or calls, to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family, and your home will be left just as you found it. I'm here to make your time away as smooth and stress free as possible for both you and your pets. :)

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I got my first puppy (mini teacup chihuahua, Princess) when I was 4. I currently have 3 pit bulls: Prince (PTSD SA), Sassy (ESA), and Sarge. I personally trained my dogs to respond to commands in English, ASL, German, and snap-gestures. My dogs have been with me since they were puppies, and I have experience caring for my grandfather’s late senior pit/wolf mix, Cheno. I currently attend Cedar Creat College full time as a Psychology major and tutor elementary/middle schoolers part time. I am also on the Track & Field team (practices 5-7pm on T/W/TH). My free time is spent caring for family pets: two Great Danes (Elle and Solo), cat (Marceline), blue-tongued skink (Mo), and two lizards (Wall-E and Diamond). My dogs often free roam the house when we are not home. They have their own room in the basement and a large doghouse with heating in our fenced yard. Their indoor and outdoor water bowls are always full, and they get fed in the morning and night. They’re walked 3-4x per day (morning, evening/afternoon, night).

“Caitlin was awesome to pick up our request when we were unexpectedly delayed - she knows our pets well and could jump right in. Thank you! Continues to be highly recommended!”


About: I'm passionate about providing loving, reliable care for your furry family members. With extensive pet experience, I understand that every animal has unique needs and can accommodate to their nature. I am currently working remotely part time, so my schedule is very open and flexible and I am looking to be more active in pockets of my free time. I look forward to cater to your needs. Personally in my home, my dog has the house to himself. But I value whichever approach you follow for your comfort and pet's safety and will comply with instruction.

“Karen provided on-site petsitting approximately 10 days for us. We recently relocated to our new home from out of state and the extended time away from the pets was sure to be a challenge. We are very grateful for the assistance provided by Karen. Upon our return, all was good. The pets appeared clean, happy and healthy.”
