“I was under a lot of stress when just about a week before my trip my sitter canceled and another one recommended by a friend didn't have a fence yard or experience with dog boarding. Fortunately, Mozelle answer pretty quickly to my request and seemed confident and reliable. She also made herself available with flexible hours to meet previous to boarding.

Thanks Mozelle for the great experience!!!”

“From the time I chose Marnie to care for my cat Freedom for two days Drop-In Visits I knew beyond doubt I made the right decision. I especially appreciated her taking photos of my cat on each visit and sharing them to me as well as providing a brief narrative demonstrating the level of care she showed. I am a first-timer with Rover and this process lets me know they don’t just cater to the canines but also to the felines. I learned we both speak “Cat”. Thanks Marnie, it is my pleasure meeting you.”
“Lillie was wondering in looking after our fur baby! She was very communicative, punctual, and sent pictures daily which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely use her caring services and expertise again in the future. Thank you Lillie for peace of mind ;)”
About: I have extensive experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. As a devoted dog mom to three pups who lived full lives into their senior years, I understand the love, patience, and special care dogs need at every stage of life. I’ve also fostered numerous dogs over the years and have adopted two senior dogs, giving them a comfortable and loving home in their golden years. In addition to my own pets, I’ve cared for many friends’ and family members’ animals—often on short notice—so I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and trustworthy when plans change. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priority. I work full time during the week, but my weekends are dedicated to providing loving care and attention to animals. I have a busy household with three grown children, and there is almost always someone home to keep your pets company and ensure they receive the care, comfort, and supervision they deserve. Our home is a pet-loving environment, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals, giving them attention, playtime, and a safe place to feel comfortable while you’re away. I have experience working with strong and high-energy breeds, including Chow Chows and Pit Bulls. I’m comfortable managing dogs who may need extra structure, including those with food sensitivities, leash challenges, or who require separation from other dogs. I understand the importance of consistency, boundaries, and safety for everyone involved. At home, I have two dogs — an Australian Shepherd mix and a Boxer/Catahoula mix — so I’m very familiar with active personalities and the care they need to thrive.
About: I’m experienced with caring for cats and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and patience. Starting off I have 4 healthy indoor cats or my own . I’m happy to follow your cat’s normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, medication if needed, and lots of love and companionship.
About: What truly distinguishes my approach to cat care is the blend of professional medical proficiency and a high standard of environmental hygiene. As a veterinary technician with approximately eight years of experience, including emergency medicine and overnight supervision, I am exceptionally qualified to monitor feline health and manage complex needs. Specialized Feline Expertise Professional Breeding Background: I have extensive experience in cat breeding, specifically focusing on Maine Coon genetics, which has given me a deep understanding of feline development and specialized husbandry. Medical & Medication Administration: Given my clinical background, I am highly proficient in administering medications and identifying subtle signs of illness or distress that others might miss. Fear Free Certified: I utilize certified Fear Free techniques to ensure that even the most anxious cats feel safe and respected during my visits. Expert Grooming: I offer professional trims for cats, as well as Lion Cut shaving. Passion for a Clean Environment Litter Box Hygiene: I understand that a pristine environment is essential for a cat's well-being and health, and I take pride in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness for all feline facilities. Specialized Husbandry: My experience managing various animals, including mini pigs, has instilled a disciplined approach to cleaning and habitat maintenance. Observational Skills: During routine cleaning, I stay alert for any changes in waste or behavior that could indicate a health concern.
“Jessica did great her first time with my cat and bunny. Her communication is impeccable and she gave them their full half hour. I couldn’t even tell I’d been gone when I got home— no messes to clean and the boys were content. I will be booking Jessica in the future for sure! 😻”
About: I have always owned dogs and considered them as family. I have taken care of family and friends' dogs for about 20 years now and I have always treated them as if they were my own. I work full time, but only 2 or 3 days a week depending on the week. Therefore I'm free about 5 days a week and my schedule is flexible. Also, I live with my parents and sister and whenever I need to run errands, the pups never stay alone. I have a 20x30 yards, fenced back yard. I make them play for a while, feed them as instructed per the owner. If small enough, I let them sleep with me, if allowed by you.
“Lorianne did a great job taking care of our cat, Winnie, while we were away for 5 days. Winnie can be anxious, but Lorianne was patient with Winnie. By day 2, Winnie was rubbing on her. Lorianne sent daily pictures and updates. Highly recommend!”
“Tiffany did such a great job checking in on my very elusive kitten! She was communicative and did everything I asked of her while I was away- I knew he was in great hands and will definitely rebook with her next time I go out of town. Thank you again!”
“Jessica was reliable, punctual, and clearly cared about our dog. We received updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
About: As a child raised on a farm, I developed a natural ability to nurture and care for animals of all kinds. For as long as I can remember, I have provided my pets with everything they need to thrive. I have owned several dogs and cats over the years. I make sure they remain happy and healthy. This includes administering treatments when necessary, bathing them regularly, trimming their nails, keeping up with vaccinations and medical checkups, and providing plenty of affection and companionship on a daily basis. Taking care of animals comes naturally to me. I not only provide for their basic needs, but I also establish a loving bond with my pets through consistent care, grooming, attention, and of course walks and treats. The wellbeing of the animals in my care is of the utmost importance to me. Pet care is completely integrated into my daily routine and responsibilities. From the moment I wake up, my focus is on ensuring the needs of my pets are met. Each morning begins with filling food and water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and walking the dogs. My farm animals also require daily attention in terms of feeding, watering and letting them into their specific areas. Throughout the day, I am constantly checking in on my pets, refilling water, playing with them, and providing comfort and companionship. If any of my pets show signs they are unwell or need to see a vet, I make that my top priority and will rearrange my schedule accordingly to take them to appointments. Even during the nighttime, I am there for my pet and their needs and listen for any sounds that would indicate they want to go outside or need something. Their wellbeing and happiness comes before anything else in my routine. No matter what else is going on in my day, my pets always receive the time, care and love they deserve from me. As a dedicated pet caregiver, I provide for all the needs of the animals under my supervision. Whether at my own home or a client's residence, my focus is always on ensuring the pets remain happy, healthy, and well behaved. I allow the pets outdoor access at regular intervals, taking them for walks when needed. Basic hygiene is a priority, so pets receive routine grooming that includes baths and nail trimming. I play with the animals frequently to and provide lots of affection, hugs, and praise to make sure they feel loved. Their diet is closely monitored. I prepare fresh food and change water dishes regularly. I also secure away objects that could pose a hazard if left where a pet could access them. Regular vet appointments are scheduled to check them out and keep them up to date with everything. I take the pets to parks and other open spaces for fun. My role as a pet caregiver ensures all needs are met and the animals remain comfortable and content, whether at my own residence or under my supervision at a client's home. The pets' happiness and wellbeing are my top priorities.
About: I bring a compassionate, detail-oriented approach to pet care, backed by my professional experience as a caregiver and my personal dedication as a dog owner.

I am equally comfortable caring for cats and dogs, and I pride myself on being reliable, attentive to specific routines, and dedicated to keeping your home clean and your companion happy. Hi there!

“Nabilah just rocked. With an upcoming long distance move, I had two weeks to find someone whom I felt i could trust to take care of my two cats while I went back to pack everything up, then drive out with my dogs. The minute I walked into Nabila's house, I knew I'd found them. Her home centered on her own five cats. The flow of photos tat flowed to me was reassuring that my girls fit in. I would definitely recommend her if you need a cat sitter”

I currently work at a daycare with infants and will soon work at an infant center. I hope to start EMT school in the spring and begin my journey of helping others.

I respect your pets and your home and I will take as many steps as I can to make them feel comfortable around me.

About: I’ve spent nearly two decades around dogs — from working in pet resorts and vet offices, where I trained dogs and their owners using structured obedience, clear communication, and mutual respect. My background in working with dogs shaped a disciplined, no-nonsense approach that builds real trust between dogs and their people. Whether it’s a rowdy puppy or a dog with serious behavioral issues, I focus on building lasting confidence, not quick fixes. My schedule leaves solid blocks of time for pet care throughout the week, and I’m currently building out a dedicated training and kennel space at home. I’m available for boarding and daycare on weekends and weekday evenings, with flexibility for drop-offs, check-ins, and training sessions throughout the day I live on an acre of land near a reservoir, with a fenced area and a dedicated kennel and training space being built out inside my home. I own three well-socialized dogs of my own who are comfortable around visiting pups, so your dog will have company. I use crates when appropriate and closely supervise every interaction to keep all the dogs safe and comfortable.

About: My home is calm, but fun, with a neat clean environment for your pet to enjoy. We love our cat and will extend the same love to your pet. I have my own cat, so I'll just fit your pets schedule in and around my own pets schedule. I'm pretty flexible with my schedule, so I can work around what your pet might need. My cat has free range of my home. I have several extra rooms in my home if your pet needs space of their own. I'm more than happy to accommodate to your pet within reason.
“My dog is a fairly new rescue who is still adjusting to new experiences and other dogs. Samantha went to great lengths to ensure that my girl was comfortable while we were away for the day. I also really appreciated her flexibility when we only needed care for a very short time. Her dog Sookie is a total sweetheart and it is very obvious how much Samantha loves the furry babies. Will definitely book with Samantha in the future if needed.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs ever since I was a kid. I used to walk my neighbors dogs for 50 cents every few days when I was 8, and have 2 cats of my own and now I have a 2 year old Aussie Shepherd named Lacey! Now I have been walking dogs professionally for the last 2 years :) I’m very experienced in the pet department! I am currently unemployed due to schooling so I have plenty of free time as my classes are quite flexible and hybrid! So I have plenty of free time to watch and play with your fur babies! I can easily crate dogs as needed, feed your pups on either a set schedule or free feeding, will walk them every few hours as needed and play them for as long until they’re tired :)

About: I have lovingly taken care of dogs and cats for over 40 years. My children had birds, hamsters, turtles, and an aquarium along with dogs and cats. Sarah, my tiny toy poodle, I got as a puppy and she became a blind senior dog and lived to be 18 when she died in my arms of a stroke. I have a bird feeder and bird bath for cranes, wood ducks, doves, bluejays, wrens, blackbirds, bunnies and squirrels in our yard. The neighbors come around on their golf carts to watch the animals. I am retired and enjoy all the animals in my life. I feel the more the merrier. I have two beautiful poodle fur babies one has a spinal injury and will be in her kennel while other fur babies are here to avoid her having any further accidental injury. My yard is not fenced so your dog will be leashed for potty breaks. If it is a puppy then it will be taken out more often. Please bring their favorite toys to make them feel more comfortable. I allow my dog on my furniture so if you do not allow them on yours, please let me know so I can adhere to your rules. Also I will be happy to administer meds if needed. I want your baby(s) to enjoy their stay with us and to be happy.

I am able to feed, water, and walk pets throughout the day and can supervise pets in my small fenced-in area connected to my back porch. I have comfortable living and play areas, as well as room for peace and quiet if pets prefer.

About: As a child raised on a farm, I developed a natural ability to nurture and care for animals of all kinds. For as long as I can remember, I have provided my pets with everything they need to thrive. I have owned several dogs and cats over the years. I make sure they remain happy and healthy. This includes administering treatments when necessary, bathing them regularly, trimming their nails, keeping up with vaccinations and medical checkups, and providing plenty of affection and companionship on a daily basis. Taking care of animals comes naturally to me. I not only provide for their basic needs, but I also establish a loving bond with my pets through consistent care, grooming, attention, and of course walks and treats. The wellbeing of the animals in my care is of the utmost importance to me. Pet care is completely integrated into my daily routine and responsibilities. From the moment I wake up, my focus is on ensuring the needs of my pets are met. Each morning begins with filling food and water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and walking the dogs. My farm animals also require daily attention in terms of feeding, watering and letting them into their specific areas. Throughout the day, I am constantly checking in on my pets, refilling water, playing with them, and providing comfort and companionship. If any of my pets show signs they are unwell or need to see a vet, I make that my top priority and will rearrange my schedule accordingly to take them to appointments. Even during the nighttime, I am there for my pet and their needs and listen for any sounds that would indicate they want to go outside or need something. Their wellbeing and happiness comes before anything else in my routine. No matter what else is going on in my day, my pets always receive the time, care and love they deserve from me. As a dedicated pet caregiver, I provide for all the needs of the animals under my supervision. Whether at my own home or a client's residence, my focus is always on ensuring the pets remain happy, healthy, and well behaved. I allow the pets outdoor access at regular intervals, taking them for walks when needed. Basic hygiene is a priority, so pets receive routine grooming that includes baths and nail trimming. I play with the animals frequently to and provide lots of affection, hugs, and praise to make sure they feel loved. Their diet is closely monitored. I prepare fresh food and change water dishes regularly. I also secure away objects that could pose a hazard if left where a pet could access them. Regular vet appointments are scheduled to check them out and keep them up to date with everything. I take the pets to parks and other open spaces for fun. My role as a pet caregiver ensures all needs are met and the animals remain comfortable and content, whether at my own residence or under my supervision at a client's home. The pets' happiness and wellbeing are my top priorities.
About: I have always owned dogs and considered them as family. I have taken care of family and friends' dogs for about 20 years now and I have always treated them as if they were my own. I work full time, but only 2 or 3 days a week depending on the week. Therefore I'm free about 5 days a week and my schedule is flexible. Also, I live with my parents and sister and whenever I need to run errands, the pups never stay alone. I have a 20x30 yards, fenced back yard. I make them play for a while, feed them as instructed per the owner. If small enough, I let them sleep with me, if allowed by you.
