“Chloe clicked with my dog Ellie instantly, they loved each other during the meet and greet. We left Ellie in good hands for one day with Chloe. She stopped by several times during the day and next day to make sure Ellie was well fed and loved. The pictures she sent made me relieved that Ellie was well taken care of while I was away. I’ll definitely be asking her to care for my dog next time I’m away 💛.”


“I cannot express enough how thankful I am for Carly’s outstanding service in taking care of Cue by letting him out twice a day and walking him. Her reliability is truly commendable; I can always trust that she will be there on time, which is incredibly reassuring for me as a pet owner. Carly’s communication skills are just as impressive, she consistently provides me with updates about Cue’s walks and shares any noteworthy observations, which makes me feel more connected to his daily activities. It’s evident that she genuinely cares about Cue’s happiness and well-being, treating him as if he were her own. I wholeheartedly recommend Carly to anyone in search of a trustworthy, dependable, and communicative pet caregiver”


“So incredibly happy that we booked Joseph to watch our cats while we were away. They took to him immediately- and with cats, that can be a challenge. We had peace of mind knowing that our babies were taken care of. He was fantastic.”


“Alexa was so communicative and great with my cat! He takes oral medication and she handled it so well. Thank you, Alexa!! I felt very comfortable leaving my cat home alone for a week knowing you were checking on him.”


About: I have a year old Husky, I love walking out with my dog or take him to the park so he can have fun! I know how to trimmed nails and give them a bath if needed, also know how to clean the ears and trim some of the paws hair. I really love being around pets and nothing would be better to find a job where I could do something that I enjoy! I have my own transportation.Please feel free to contact me if interested! Thank you I have Mondays, Thursdays and every other Sunday off, so it would work perfect for me since I have my baby at home and he loves playing with other dogs I have a fenced yard and a friendly husky, he loves playing with other dogs and going on walks. I would take out on walks at least every 2-3 hours.

“Cassie is very attentive, sweet and helpful with our new puppy. She is warm and welcoming. She is great at communicating and will ask questions so there is a clear care plan for your pooch! We are so happy we met her to help with our puppy!”


“Fionnuala is as always, a life saver. She makes herself available, even on the shortest of notice. My dog is a high energy, jumping handful. But she's great with him! I'm so appreciative of when she's able to stop in and care for my fur baby.”



“I struggled with how to care for my two cats, a senior & a junior, while I went on vacation. Violet, my eldest cat, had just been diagnosed with kidney/bladder issues and required a stringent schedule of medication. I was completely put at ease after my meet & greet Kaitlynn. Her attitude & attention to detail were both professional & comforting. The daily updates were insightful & showed her familiarity with my "kids" and their needs. Our first experience with Rover has been a pleasure. Just knowing that there are dedicated sitters like Kaitlynn available at a time of need is a true relief.”


“David did drop-in visits for me while I was traveling for work. He was polite, professional, and friendly. My boyfriend and my cats approve! Would definitely recommend.”


About: I have grown up around animals my whole life! In New Mexico we had 5 dogs and 2 cats they were my responsibility to keep fed, happy, healthy! I have years of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes and am comfortable around even the biggest and the friendliest dogs. Can’t wait to meet yours! I am currently working from home but have pretty flexible time constraints. Which means I have plenty of time to play with furry buddies! I often will take walks to nearby local parks or trails, and I am early riser so there is allot of flexibility in my schedule. We have a large backyard that with a fenced up play pen and have had several dogs in the house so plenty of left over toys and stuff to chew on. I have sat dogs with crates but unfortunately do not have one on the property.

“Danielle did a terrific job with our dogs, Rico and Barkley. We are new to the area, so the dogs are still getting use to their surroundings. Danielle knew exactly how to handle them. She provided us with pictures and updates with how they were doing. So THANKFUL for Danielle. Already booking another date with her.”


“Christine has been such a blessing for us. We recently brought into our home a wonderful shelter dog who needed a lot of love and attention, and was initially suffering from severe separation anxiety whenever someone would leave the room. It has also been more than 15 years since we've had a dog and needless to say we were rusty. From day 1 of the meet and greet with Christine, our dog Dot immediately felt comfortable around her, our kids listened intently to her suggestions, explanations and stories of her own going through similar experiences. She's provided consistent advice and support (outside the formal drop-in/walking sessions we pay for). She has her own dogs and fosters dogs as well... and it's clear she does not do this for the money, but purely for her love of dogs. She posts updates during every visit, sends pics, cleans up if there's been an accident, and provides ideas/suggestions when she can. I highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 20 years, my own and others. I have compassion for all animals and I want to focus on building trust. I currently work full time but that I am able to stop by before and after work. I do not work weekends so I am able to stop by then as well. I will walk, feed and play with your furry friend. If your pet needs medications administered, I’d be happy to do that for you as well.

About: I’ve been in absolute love with dogs since Jackson waddled into our lives when I was 9. I’ve been dogsitting cowowker’s’ pups (and cats) for the last few years and love everything about it. Happy to stay in the home; bonus points if the pups “have” to sleep in the bed with me 😁 I have more flexibility over the weekends but am free after 4 during the week. From July-end of August I’m a lot more of a free bird! My current home isn’t big enough for the favorite member(s) of your family, but I am very professional when staying at your home (I’ve never opened a single medicine cabinet). I love that I can keep your pets as comfortable as possible in their own home and am happy to do whatever funny breakfast or night routine that they need!

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. My family always had dogs growing up. My first dog, Spooner, was with me since infancy. I helped train and raise my second dog, Merlin, from a puppy. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing special care. I am also skilled in training basic commands and ensuring pets feel loved and comfortable while their owners are away. As an adolescent, I would take care of my neighbor's cats when they went away. I got my cat, Stevie, 3 years ago. I’m excellent at taking care of cats and ensuring they are well-fed, comfortable, and have clean litter boxes. My experience includes administering medications and providing a calm, loving environment for cats of all ages. I look forward to the day I can get a dog, but until then, I will enjoy caring for others' dogs and cats. As a teacher, I have the summer off, so I’ll have plenty of time to take good care of your pups! My flexible schedule allows me to provide dedicated and attentive care throughout the day. I have a cozy, safe home for you dogs to stay at overnight or for an extended periods of time. I'm also happy to provide drop-in visits or to stay in your home. I'm a skilled communicator and will always be courteous and respectful of your residence.

About: I am a Mother, teacher, and pet owner-in other words I care 😀 I am patient, caring and easy going. I would love to help. I am a teacher, so I have flexibility in the summer time. When you cannot be there, I can, and would love to help out. I have a fully fenced in yard at my house, and a friendly Beagle/Bulldog at home. In traveling to your house, I will makd.sure your pet is comfortable.
