We highly recommend them and will definitely use them again! They treated our boys like family ? ❤️”

About: Cats have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently own four cats and have experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and temperaments. Friends, family, and clients often call me a "cat whisperer" because I have a special ability to connect with shy, fearful, and independent cats, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every cat is unique and respect their individual needs, routines, and boundaries. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers a quieter approach, I provide patient, compassionate care tailored to their personality. I have experience with feeding, litter box maintenance, administering basic medications, playtime, companionship, and monitoring for signs of stress or illness. I genuinely love animals and treat every cat as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your feline family member feels secure, happy, and well cared for while you're away. 🐾❤️

I’ll definitely continue booking her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

“If I could give Morgan a 10 star rating I would, because she not only was available at the last minute but she took so much care for Georgie! She took him for walks and even though he is deaf and very vocal with toys, she made his time with her so enjoyable. Thank you again for taking care of our furbaby.”
“Anne was exceptional! She took the time to meet with me and my dog, Cali, to review any special needs etc and took detailed notes. Since my dog has separation anxiety, Anne took the time to work with us on a few techniques to make sure Cali was comfortable. Anne shared some training video links with me so I can work on these with Cali at home. She certainly went well above and beyond any expectations I had and I’m looking forward to having her sit Cali again in the future. It’s clear that Anne is a professional and is concerned with her client’s comfort as well as the dog’s individual needs. Cali loved playing with Bentley and I know she enjoyed her day with Anne. A+++++”
“I cannot say enough about my experience with Beth and her husband and their home, little dog and cats. I felt so at ease around their kindness.

I will be booking with them again. And highly recommend them.”

“Wonderful day care experience. We are getting ready to board Bingo for the first time later this week and because he had never been boarded, we wanted to get him used to being without us and his upcoming stay with Floyd and Connie.

About: Hi! I'm Jill and I'd love to help take care of your pet - whether that's an afternoon walk, a pet sit or anything in between. I've had pets of my own for many years, including my cat Dot who passed in 2014 and my dog of 14 years Coconut, who I lost in 2026. Now that I don't have pets of my own, I want to spread the love and care for others' animals. I'm a single working professional with a flexible work and volunteering schedule, which means I can spend ample time with your baby - whether they want lots of activity or just someone to hang with them on the couch. Over the years, my family has had many pets (my mom fostered animals out of our home), and my sister is a vet (always on call for me as needed!). I have also watched others' pets for many years (mostly dogs and cats) and have experience with senior pets, diabetic pets and asthmatic pets. Yes, I know how to give a cat an inhaler :) I know your pet is a precious family member, and I will ensure s/he is in the best possible care under my watch - whether it's for a walk or an overnight stay. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Please reach out with any questions or for more references. I'm currently working remote (from home) and have an extremely flexible schedule. I am also somewhat mobile and willing to travel for pet sitting. I believe routine is important for animals and for people. I will do my best to ensure consistency in your pet's routine - whether that's feeding times, exercise, play time, pet time. I know every animal and every situation is unique. I want to understand how you and your pet feel safest and most comfortable so that I can continue that care.
About: I enjoy walking and playing, and all the animals I have had the pleasure of taking care of benefit from that. My bloodhound /lab up north had high anxiety and high energy when we took her in, and after a few weeks of long walks twice a day she calmed down. My jack Russel was also high strung until her walks and playing. I live close to a park and to a trail which I walk to daily. I live in a peaceful area and my back yard is a bird haven. I have plenty of time, room, and love for your pet. I have taken care of friends, neighbors, and relatives pets for many years up north, and now I am ready to be your pets friend in the south. My house is set up to have plenty of room for any size dog. We are always outside and I live very close to a park.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I’ve had my own American Cocker Spaniel and also grew up with a Boxer, so I’m comfortable with both gentle companion dogs and more energetic breeds. I also have a grooming certificate and worked as a dog bather in Virginia for several months, where I gained practical experience handling dogs, keeping them calm during grooming, and ensuring their comfort and safety. In addition, I volunteered at dog adoption events, helping care for dogs in new and sometimes stressful environments. This experience taught me how to read dog behavior, build trust quickly, and support dogs as they adjust. I am patient, attentive, and always adjust my approach to each dog’s personality to make them feel safe and cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I can easily fit dog walks, playtime, and visits into my daily routine, and I make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m also very comfortable maintaining a cat’s routine — including feeding, litter care, playtime, and quiet companionship. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets feel most comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning for cats, walks for dogs, and playtime or companionship based on their needs. I always take time to build trust with each pet, especially shy or sensitive ones, and I adjust my approach to match their personality. My goal is to keep them calm, safe, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 15. I have also volunteered in animal shelters when I was younger. Before Rover, I was on the site Doggy Vay Cay serving many clients. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I had a family dog, which passed away 3 years ago along with my cat passing away years ago, therefore I love being around animals I will have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I will play tug of war, give them treats if need be, and run around with them. At this time, I will not be taking care of pets in my own home, but hopefully in the future, I will. I treat animals with respect, as if they were my own loving one.
About: References available upon request. I have been working with various types of animals for over ten years. I always treat my clients furry family members as if they were one of my own. I also always encourage a meet and greet prior to accepting appointments. Trust, communication and respect are given by me freely to every client that I come into contact with. My compassion for dogs started from the moment I was born and I have always had one under my roof. Being able to provide the love and care needed for other clients’ pets brings me an immense amount of joy. As someone who has had others watch my pets, I understand the importance of a trustworthy dog sitter. They will always be safe under my care! I am a stay at home mommy so I have an extremely flexible schedule for you to work with! I accommodate all of my clients to the best of my ability. I provide a safe and trustworthy experience for all of my clients. In order to safely care for your pet, I set up a meet and greet so that I can be familiar with the client’s home and the pet’s habits - both good and bad!

“Marcela and her husband took amazing care of our energetic puppy Snoopy and our little lap dog Mochi! They sent us pictures and videos every day to keep us posted. They have a beautiful home that is set up perfectly for dog sitting! Our dogs loved running around their huge fenced in yard chasing Marcela on the golf cart ? they had a blast! She even tended to their medical needs as Snoopy had a mild ear infection before he arrived and needed pills and drops daily. They came home happy, clean and tired which I’m grateful for! We highly recommend them and will definitely use them again! They treated our boys like family ? ❤️”
