“Kat was great with Kira on sort of short notice. She also had to deal with the extreme summer heat as well as unexpected people in the backyard working on the pool. Kira had a great time and was well taken care of.”


“Katrina was the best with my dog and cat. She kept me updated every visit and they seem comfortable with her. She fed them and kept the space clean for them! I would definitely book her again.”


About: I have cared for my coworker’s small dog and 2 cats over a long weekend (2 nights and three days). Pixie and I went for walks, and I made sure her food and water bowls were refilled and fresh and clean daily. I also kept the yard clean after her potty breaks! I am available for evening visits during the week and weekend, when you are in a pinch and need someone to take your dog for a walk and have a potty break. I am typically available weekday evenings after 5. I am available to travel to your home and care for your sweet pup where they feel most safe and comfortable! I can make sure your small dog is well-fed, walked, played with, and feels comfortable while you're away. I'm attentive, gentle, and always follow specific routines or instructions to help your pet feel safe, cared for, and loved.

“Angelita kept us updated with what she did during the visits and how our cats were doing. She spent some time with the obe that was hiding, and made sure the one that likes to hide was doing well. She took pictures and kept us well informed.”


About: I’m a dependable and caring dog walker and previous dog Mom and current dog Auntie, who truly loves spending time with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’ll tailor each walk to your pets personality and needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. You can count on me to show up on time, keep your dog safe, and treat them like they’re my own. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and notes after every walk. I’m recently retired after a successful career, and now I’m spending more time doing what I love—being outdoors and around dogs. I’m highly capable, calm under pressure, and comfortable managing multiple tasks or dogs at once. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy the company of animals and the peace that comes with spending time outside. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine will always be my top priority. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and safety. I follow all instructions closely, maintain a calm and respectful environment, and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they’re used to. I treat every home with care and every pet like they’re my own.

“Christine was very prompt and attentive during the entire pet care period, arriving punctually every day and making sure to take the time for a dog walk and to include all of the food items requested. My dog took an immediate liking to her and was happy, relaxed, and in good spirits when we returned. I would recommend her services to anyone located within the radius of her operations.”


“Our pets seemed to really respond well to Amy, and her updates gave us a lot of peace of mind during our vacation. We will definitely be seeking her services for our next vacation!”


About: I have been caring for pets for nearly all my life. From cats and dogs to rodents and eveything in-between, I feel comfortable taking care of all animals at any age. I work full time Monday through Friday from 7am-3pm but I am available after 3pm and overnight on weekdays. Weekends I'm entirely available during the day and overnight. I am unable to care for pets in my home but I can take care of your pets in your home. I love playing with pets in a backyard or taking dogs for walks.

“So glad we found Kari! She is reliable and trustworthy. She has come for several visits for my lab and my guinea pigs and she always sends great pics! I would recommend Kari for any household with pets!”


About: I love animals. That may sound generic, but I've had the honor of taking care of one dog, one cat, and plenty of hamsters over the years. It's my favorite topic to talk about, read about, and learn more about. You can never know too much about animals! I'm a part-time worker and grad student, looking to fill my time with what I love: Taking care of animals! Being around furbabies makes my heart soar, and I would much rather be around these beloved pets than sit around and be bored! I take safety very seriously with my animals. For example, my own cat is microchipped and has an airtag in her collar. I do not leave food out and I maintain a healthy diet for my cat.

“This was my first time using Rover for my 3 cats. 2 cats need medication. Yadi was responsible for 2 automatic litter boxes and 1 regular litter box, food, meds, and 2 water fountains. I was very pleased with her communication for every visit. I’ve already asked to rebook her!”


About: I have been pet sitting for many years now. Started out as helping out family and friends in high school and college and has evolved to much more over the years. I also have 8 years of experience owning my own dogs. I have cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, cats, lizards, and turtles. I am comfortable with transporting pets to vet or grooming appointments, bathing, brushing, and brushing teeth for dogs, feeding, giving topical and oral medication, walking, playing, picking up after, cleaning litter boxes. I am genuinely happiest when I am with animals so getting to spend time with your fur babies would be my absolute pleasure! I will treat your pets as my own while they are in my care and I will always make sure they are kept happy and safe. I work a 9-5 Monday - Friday with a hybrid schedule. I typically work from home Wednesday and Fridays. I am available for daycare bookings on my WFH days, overnight bookings any time and walks/drop-ins in the evenings & weekends. For overnight bookings during the week, on my in-office days, my brother is available to check in on the pups at home and give them mid-day bathroom breaks and some company. I have a new fence being put in for the yard at the moment and in the meantime, I have extra long leashes so the pups can still safely explore and get some exercise in the yard. I have 2 pups of my own to keep your pet(s) company and have lots of playtime with. I have plenty of space throughout the house to keep dogs separated while I am not home and have pet cameras to keep my eye on them! I also have 2 large crates and 1 small crate if needed. I prefer to sit for dogs that are crate trained to ensure extra safety but this can be discussed during the meet and greet! My 65lb male dog does not always enjoy other males that are larger than himself in the house but we can still have a meet and greet to check, with this in mind! I always suggest sending your dog for an overnight stay with their doggy bed/favorite blanket and a favorite toy to make them the most comfortable!

About: I've taken care or dogs and other pets my entire life! Neighbors, family friends, and other peoples from jobs! I've worked with puppies and senior dogs! Taking them on walks and having play dates! I've done other jobs including dog grooming, and some veterinary work! Currently I have been helping my neighbor train her rescue puppies! I am available all days of the week at any time your pets need someone! And I can adjust times to make it work best for you! I have a big yard for them to run around, A room for them to stay in with me! Or a crate they can use if that is how they prefer to sleep!

About: I have had pets all my life and adore animals. I enjoy taking the time to play with the dogs, and giving them the love and attention that they need. The Townsend Rail Trail is right near my house, and I am able to enjoy multiple daily walks with my 4 year old Jack Russell Terrier, Loki, on that trail. At this time I are unable to accommodate dogs who are aggressive, or dogs who are not house trained. I currently work from Home, so I am able to devote plenty of time to ensuring that the dogs get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. My daughter also enjoy spending time with any dogs that I have at the house giving them extra love and attention throughout the day, always supervised and as appropriate with each dog. My yard is not fenced in, so a dog would be leashed to play in the yard, but I have a dog runs to enable the dogs to enjoy some time running freely in the grass each day. I am able to separate the dogs as needed and for feeding times to ensure that they remain stress free. We are able to accommodate crate training schedules as needed, our dog is only crate trained at night. We are home most of the time, but if we do leave the house we ensure that the dogs are not left alone for extended periods and we are able to seperate them safely while out of the house without crating them unless requested. We do have two cats, but as our dog does not get along with them we have them separated upstairs from the dogs and all pets are 100% safe. The dogs have free run of the downstairs and the cats have free run of the upstairs all day so that everyone remains safe and happy with no issues!

“We had danielle watch our 3 year old pitbull/lab mix for three nights when we went away. She was nice enough to send us pictures of Kobe playing outside and snuggling on the couch with her while we were gone, which was a plus so I wasn’t worrying constantly! He came back to us all tired out, she took such great care of him like he was her own dog. I felt so comfortable leaving him with her, I will 100% go back to her for our next trip! Highly recommend!! ?”


Sean C.
“Sean has always been one of those individuals that animals are drawn to. They feel safe with him, and often become more playful than their norm. He is a steady, warm presence, who immediately adapts to any animal's personality, preferences, and needs. He is an affectionate and attentive pet caregiver.”


Sam H.Star Sitter
