“Cherolyn is wonderful with Simba- she is so happy to spend time with him and I know he gets so much love and attention from the updates she provides. He also comes home tired which is a great sign that he has lots of playtime when he is there. He also squeals with delight and excitement during the car ride when he realizes he is going there. I couldn’t ask for more in a sitter!”
“The loving care Marley provided to wiggles made me feel so comfortable. The continuous videos and pictures were an added plus. Wiggles wasn’t sure she wanted to come home. Perfect experience. And grooming was great!”
“Just the best! Howie stayed with Jeff and Beth while we were on vacation in Europe for two weeks. They took excellent care of him and sent us pictures daily. We would hundred percent recommend them!”

“Michele was an excellent dog sitter. She gave lots of attention and love to my very scared dog Luna. Everyday she updated us with a text and photos. You definitely can tell Michele loves pets !”
“Jake was treated as a member of the family! He snuggled with and was loved on by the kiddos. Suzanne gave him fresh air time in the yard, feed him and gave him healthy treats as we requested. He loved the family and time there. He really didn’t want to leave?. Hopefully she will keep Jake again. We highly recommend Suzanne!”

“I was skeptical at first after seeing the cage our dog, Fiona, would be housed in. However, seeing the large yard made me feel better as she is your and full of energy and loves to run. Marcella took good care of Fiona based on the pictures and videos sent daily during her stay. Also, Fiona was clean and happy when we picked er up. If we travel without our dog in the future, Marcela will be our go-to,”
“Jewell is a true jewel!! My nervous pup flourished with her and her sweet pups. My dog is a singlet and isn’t around dogs a lot !Jewell’s pups welcomed her into their home and became great friends with my pup. I appreciate the socialization she received while staying with Jewell. We will be using her again. She is amazing, her home setup is perfect. Jewell is fantastic for nervous dogs. Highly recommended!”

“Lisa was a perfect match for our little Mia! We highly recommend Lisa to anyone that needs to leave their fur baby in the best of hands! This was the first time we have had to leave Mia with someone that we really didn’t know well as well as using the Rover app. After our very first meet and greet it honestly felt like a huge weight was lifted. I wasn’t as nervous about leaving her. Lisa sent regular updates and it was obvious when we came home to get Mia that she was well cared for and had enjoyed her. It was very obvious Mia had made herself at home. Thank you Lisa, we will definitely be calling on you again.”
“Robin P was the best person I could’ve chosen to watch my dog Spencer. Spencer loved being with her and she sent me videos and text daily to let me know how Spencer was doing! She treated Spencer like it was her own dog, I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch Spencer for us while we were out of town! We have actually booked her again for the beginning of the year when we go on a cruise! Thank you Robin for doing such a great job with our fur baby!!”

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. 🐾❤️
“This was my second time booking Hailey to watch my kitties and she was fantastic again! She’s very reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the pets she watches. She kept me updated and made sure everything was taken care of. I came home and it was like I never even left. I’ll definitely continue booking her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Allie was great. My kitty Suki who has anxiety loved her, played with her and let her pet her. She even took out the garbage for us without me asking. Allie brought in the mail, sent pics of Suki and watered plants too. Excellent! I highly recommend and will ask for her again.”
About: I have extensive experience cat sitting and have grown up in a household that consistently had two to three cats, which has given me a strong understanding of their behavior and needs. Over the years, I’ve developed the ability to care for multiple cats at once, including managing situations where they need to be kept separate or have specific care requirements. I’m attentive, reliable, and genuinely passionate about providing a safe, comfortable environment for every cat in my care.
About: I have taken care of pets since a young age! I have 4 dogs of my own that I have raised since they were puppies! Love walking and taking care of dogs. I work early in mornings 5am-1pm daily so I have lots of free time in afternoons and evenings. I have weekends free and my work schedule is easily adjusted for specific offers I will follow all the rules and set up for your pet and treat them as my own. I am a very dependable person served on military and worked with animals in there as well
About: I’ve had cats throughout much of my adult life and understand that every cat has their own personality. Some want lots of attention and playtime, while others prefer quiet companionship and need time to warm up to someone new. I’m patient and happy to let your cat set the pace. During visits, I’ll follow your cat’s normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, brushing and plenty of affection when they want it. I’ll also pay attention to their behavior and let you know how they’re doing after every visit. I especially enjoy finding ways to keep cats engaged. I even taught our cat Sasha, using clicker training, how to work a treat puzzle designed for dogs. She learned to use her paws to release the treats—and now she’s a pro! I know how important it is to feel confident that your cat is safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your cat—and your home—with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
About: We provide reliable care that keep your kitties safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

When caring for pets in your home, I’ll carefully follow the instructions and routines you provide, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, litter box care and any special instructions for your pet. I’ll make sure doors and gates are securely closed, use your pet’s leash or harness as instructed, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings during walks and visits. I also understand that you’re trusting me with your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. While you’re away, I’m happy to bring in mail or packages and adjust lights or blinds as requested. Before leaving, I’ll make sure your pet is comfortable, your home is secure, and I’ll send you a photo and update so you know how the visit went.
About: I have a special gift for earning the trust of shy, anxious, and hard-to-win-over cats—it's why many people call me a cat whisperer.. here's a little about me.... I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently share my home with four cats and have spent my entire life around animals. Many people call me a "cat whisperer" because I have a special ability to connect with shy, fearful, and independent cats. I love helping nervous pets feel safe and comfortable, and I've seen many reserved or unfriendly cats become affectionate and trusting with patience and understanding. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and quiet approach, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and love. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and plenty of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work part-time as a caregiver for the elderly and take care of animals in my spare time. Most of the clients I work with have pets which I tend to as well. I am around animals pretty much around the clock and absolutely love it. ❤️ When I'm working with clients, I give as much attention to their pets as I do to them. I am a highly sought-after caregiver due to my attentiveness to their animals and the love and care I give them. I treat each and every one as if they were my own pet. I pay attention to their individual needs and wants.

I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, giving you complete peace of mind.

This means I am consistently on hand to provide frequent bathroom breaks, maintain precise feeding and medication schedules, and offer plenty of daytime companionship and play. Your pets won't have to spend long hours waiting alone, giving them a stress-free, comfortable routine and giving you total peace of mind throughout the day. Because I am available throughout the entire day, I can dedicate my full attention to maintaining your pet's exact daily routine right in the comfort of their own home. I strictly adhere to their familiar schedules for feeding, exercise, and medication so they experience zero disruption while you are away. Additionally, I keep a detailed, daily log of their activities, meals, and behavior, keeping you fully connected and informed. With me, your pets receive constant, reliable companionship, and you get the total peace of mind that comes from knowing their day is structured, safe, and fully accounted for.

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.

“Jake was treated as a member of the family! He snuggled with and was loved on by the kiddos. Suzanne gave him fresh air time in the yard, feed him and gave him healthy treats as we requested. He loved the family and time there. He really didn’t want to leave?. Hopefully she will keep Jake again. We highly recommend Suzanne!”

“Ray took my pup Charley on 1 day notice when I was in a bind and did a great job taking care of her. She is a handful and im deeply grateful for taking such good care of her. I would definitely use him again.”
“I was skeptical at first after seeing the cage our dog, Fiona, would be housed in. However, seeing the large yard made me feel better as she is your and full of energy and loves to run. Marcella took good care of Fiona based on the pictures and videos sent daily during her stay. Also, Fiona was clean and happy when we picked er up. If we travel without our dog in the future, Marcela will be our go-to,”
“This was our dogs second stay with Britney. Luna loves staying there and Britney is fantastic. She sends pictures and videos along with messages on how everything is going. We have zero concerns leaving our dog there!”

“Alyssa was a great and quick communicator. She helped with my dog's medications, which were a few of them. It sounded like Klyo had a great time and had a chance to interact with other dogs for a change. Will definitely use again when needed.”
“Morgan was amazing. Very communicative and sent pics daily. My dog seemed to really enjoy his time. Would recommend her to anyone. She lives on a large plot of land away from any city.”
“Morgan was great! My TuckerBoone was well cared for and came back very happy. She stayed in communication with me and sent pictures while I was out of the country. We had a nice meet and greet a week before my departure. I felt very secure leaving my buddy with Morgan and her family. Clean safe environment for my TuckerBoone. Very happy with the experience and will be using her again. Thank you Morgan!”
About: I have been pet sitting all types of animals for over 20 years and love sharing my big backyard and pool with them. Your pups will come home happy and probably a bit tired after a long day of playing and swimming :) I am blessed to be able to work remotely and have plenty of time to share with fur friends!! I'm available for overnight sitting and daycare in my home only at this time. I am available for both daycare and boarding at my home and am open to certain add on services upon request. While I do prefer medium sized dogs and up, smaller dogs can be accommodated however, depending on their size, they may not be able to freely run the entire backyard at this time as there are fence renovations in progress and a small, smart and determined tiny pup might find an escape route.
“Kimber was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Carmelo. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt confident he was in caring and capable hands. Kimber provided daily videos and updates, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from every update that Carmelo was comfortable, happy, and receiving plenty of attention. Her home is clean, welcoming, and very dog-friendly, creating the perfect environment for dogs to feel safe and relaxed. Most importantly, it's immediately obvious that Kimber is a true dog lover. She genuinely cares about the animals she watches and treats them like members of her own family. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and will absolutely trust Kimber with Carmelo again in the future. If you're looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, and truly passionate about dogs, I highly recommend Kimber. She exceeded all of my expectations!”
“Thank you Jennifer for caring for Bailey. It was nice to get pictures and updates while we were gone. We’re very glad you and your family enjoyed having him in your home.”
“What an amazing experience! Jennifer was incredibly kind and kept me updated on my baby throughout the entire time. She sent numerous pictures, which reassured me that my baby was doing great. This was the first time I left her for an extended period, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. I will definitely be using Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
