“Rebekah did a great job, was very communicative, provided awesome “report cards” for her visits, and left us feeling confident in her care and attentiveness for our cats!”


“Kayla was fantastic as always! My kitties were so happy with all the attention, and she's a champ at giving Kiki her pill. I'm so glad I could rebook her!”


“Reliable, friendly, professional and VERY knowledgeable about dogs. She actually noticed our boy was scratching his ear and so she checked. Found his ears dirty and actually smelled them to see if it was infection! I'd say that's above and beyond. Plus she's just a delightful human being. And my animals love her! Me too!!”


“Cassie took great care of our 3 cats!! The 2 kittens have not been around anyone but us so she was very patient and took the time to make them comfortable with her. She sent videos of them and their daily progress and they were very happy with her petting them and playing with them. I highly recommend Cassie caring for your fur babies!”


“Christine is very timely and great at communicating and has done an excellent job with regular drop ins for both my dogs. I highly recommend her!!”


“Kara has done a great job of getting to know Luna and making her feel at ease when sitting with her. She is prompt and flexible with her schedule. We know Luna is safe and well cared for when Kara is with her. We’ll definitely have her sit with Luna more often!”



“Sydney was positively fantastic! My cat is a rescue and really nervous around new people but by the second visit, Sydney had her comfortable. I really appreciated the photos Sydney took and how communicative she was with us about each visit.”


About: I have had pets all my life, I have house, pet and plant sat for 18 years now. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs and cats. Medications are no problem. I enjoy walks just as much as the dogs! I typically travel through a house and pet sitting site. I love it so much I thought I would make it my job! My schedule is flexible. I care for pets in their own homes. Rover insists you start out boarding in the sitters home but I do not offer this service. I pet sit in the clients home only. Thanks :)

“Lisa rocks! She went about and beyond to make sure our baby had everything he needed while we were gone. Thank you so much for your care and help!”


“Jennifer was great, my cat is my pride and joy! She made sure that Nala was well taken care of and sent me lots of photos. Overall she was great and will be requesting her in the future!!!”


“Don’t hesitate to contact Delaney for you pet needs!! Last minute needed somebody to do a drop in on our pups and she was glad to help! She went above and beyond with lots of little Pupdates and pictures ?? such a kind and reassuring gal!! Will definitely be reaching out to her again!!”


“Megan was the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! Radiates competence, care, and animal smarts. My cat had some special needs and she was able to accommodate easily. Thank you for you taking such good care of my cat!”


About: I've been around dogs and cats my whole life. I naturally connect with animals. I am comfortable around all dogs. I have two dogs now, and went through a puppy class with one of them, and then did extensive training with him for his first year. They are both "good dogs". I fostered dogs with a local shelter until I foster failed, and I have also previously volunteered at another shelter, walking the dogs and just spending time with them. I need to work around my daughter's school schedule, so I am available M-F 9am-2pm. End time will depend on how far it is from her school. I have two dogs that love other dogs. I live in a rental and we set up a temporary fence in the backyard. That's all.

About: I grew up with several large and small dogs in my household, and I also began watching dogs about 8 years ago. I began overnight sitting around 4 years ago as well. I have also been cat sitting for about 3 years, and have a cat of my own! I am comfortable administering prescriptions to all pets, as well as regular care (potty breaks, clean ups, brushing, interaction, litter boxes, walking, etc). I have worked with pets of all size variations, and am happy to work with yours! I am a full-time bedside RN on night shift, so I work 3 nights a week for 12-hour shifts. My schedule changes weekly, but I would never accept a job that I am not available for. I have great flexibility due to only working 3 nights a week, as I often switch back to days after a stretch, or can stay on nights if preferred. I am happy to watch your pet overnight at your home. I am comfortable with most services, including but not limited to: walking, going outside for potty breaks, cleaning up after pets, cleaning litter boxes, administering prescription medications, brushing pets, feeding pets, and more. If something is needed for your pet that is not listed here, I am willing to talk about it and see if it is in my scope!

“Emma was very attentive and caring to our cats. She sent pictures during each drop-in, so we could see both cats doing well. Knowing Emma was visiting and tending to our cats gave us great peace of mind while we were out of town.”


“Megan did a great job taking care of my cats. She made sure their litter boxes were cleaned and played with the ones that were willing to show their faces. She made sure to send pictures, which is always appreciated!”


“Stephanie has to be one of the most trustworthy and genuine people I’ve ever met! We knew immediately that our Teddy was in good hands! We are grateful for the peace of mind! She took excellent care of him. And the pictures she provided showed him as relaxed and happy!”


About: I am an animal-loving, 32 year old entrepreneur / music producer working full-time from home. I’ve been taking care of everything from cats and dogs, to horses, since I was 10 years old. I have a dog of my own (Charlie). He’s just over 2 and as friendly as they come—Charlie gets along with all sizes and temperaments. And I have experience caring for dogs of all temperaments and sizes. I work from home, so I’m always around. I also understand the trust involved in leaving your beloved pet’s care in the hands of someone else. Any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! My house has a massive fenced-in yard (West Bay’s dog park size). Any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! Schedule: I work from home, so my world already revolves around my own pup, Charlie. I’m already hanging out with my dog 24/7, so I’d love to care for yours as well! Environment: I have a huge fenced-in yard, and a friendly pup to keep your doggo entertained, comfortable and loved. I’m also ALWAYS home. I can accommodate whatever your pup needs.

“Mairi did an amazing job taking care of my two pups. She provided tons of updates with photos that I really appreciated. She is very quick to respond and very reliable! I’m rebooking her and highly recommend her services.”

About: My affection for animals dates back to my childhood, where a loyal German shepherd was my constant companion. Moreover, my commitment extends beyond personal connections. Over the last year, I have dedicated time to walk and socialize shelter dogs at the Cherryland Humane Society. This experience has not only deepened my understanding of canine behavior but also allowed me to contribute to the well-being of dogs in need. The bonds formed during these interactions have left a lasting impact, reinforcing my passion for the welfare of our four-legged friends. I also currently take care of my roommates cat frequently to provide tender care to our furry friend. I currently work another job, therefore I am available on Monday- Thursday from 8am-9am & 6:30pm-9pm & Saturday & Sunday all day. Starting in June I will be available after 5pm on the weekdays as well! I take note to accommodate your pets individual needs by following detailed instructions and preferences to provide the highest level of quality care for your beloved pet.

Wonderful!! Always on time, provides great updates, and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended Laurel!

Jenn did such a great job with our 3 cats. She communicates quickly and throughly, and was so helpful with anything that came up. She asks good questions and is prepared and well organized. I especially appreciated the pictures she provided. I would recommend her for her professionalism and the great job she did giving us peace of mind! Thank you Jenn!

Cassie Rose was fantastic taking care of my two kitties. One of them is very shy but warmed up to her and she gave me very sweet and thorough updates every day along with sending photos. Highly recommended!
