“Alysha was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Gucci. She was extremely patient, kind, and attentive, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Gucci takes a little while to warm up to new people, but she took the time to make him feel comfortable and cared for. It was clear that she genuinely loves dogs and treats them with compassion. I am so grateful for the excellent care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated sitter.”
“Mrs. Susan was a blessing for my pup while we traveled out of the country! He was very well taken care of and made to feel at home. We will definitely book with her again!”
About: I've been blessed to foster more than 20 dogs over the past couple of years. I know training basics, have a big backyard, and currently have two of my own dogs who love to play. I am currently not working so I am free the majority of the time. This allows there to be little to no crating required during the day. I have a large fenced in backyard for free play and zoomies. Inside I have dog beds and toys and a lap for cuddling. My two dogs are friendly and have had plenty of exposure to other dogs through my fostering.
“Tenashia was super sweet and cared for my little guy super well! I was nervous to board him the first time but the photos and updates put my mind at ease! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to book.”
“Zoe was fantastic! It’s very obvious that Zoe loves pets, .. and birds.. and squirrels. It’s an animal oasis! I was so very pleased to see the care and love she gave to my sweet pup Clover. I highly recommend Zoe and when you bring your sweet pup to her, you too will be writing a great recommendation!. Great care should be recognized! 🐾”
“A Lifesaver in Fur and Friendship: Thank You, Roger! When my family was thrown into chaos due to an unexpected medical emergency, we had no idea how we were going to care for Stella — my mom’s beloved (and very opinionated) pup. Enter Roger, our last-minute, Johnny-on-the-Spot superhero. From the moment he stepped in, Roger treated Stella like one of his own. He didn’t just walk her regularly — he made sure she got the exercise, attention, and affection she needed to feel safe and loved during a confusing time. He even embraced her quirks, including her very vocal opinions about dogs, horses, and — to our surprise — oxen on TV. Most sitters would’ve run for the hills. Roger? He laughed, turned down the volume, and gave her a belly rub. He let Stella sleep in his bed, kept her routine steady, and most importantly, gave us peace of mind when we needed it most. We still don’t know when my mom will be released from the hospital, but knowing Stella is in Roger’s care has been a huge comfort. He’s been there every step of the way — reliable, kind, and endlessly patient. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your pet — not just a sitter, but a true companion — Roger is your guy. We are beyond grateful.”
“Louie seemed happy and well taken care of when we picked him up from his stay. I’d be comfortable bringing him back to Allyson. You can tell she cares about animals and their wellbeing.”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs growing up as well as lots of other animals! I often dog sit for my siblings and love having them. I like my home to feel like their home with little adjustment. I work at 5 am and come home for lunch and am back home by 12 and am home for the rest of the night. I live right by my job and they are very flexible with me. I love being home in the evenings and having someone to take walks with is ideal! My apartment is open to pets, furniture included unless specified. I will happily keep pets off your furniture if needed. I take regular walks with a leash for exercise to make up for the lack of hard at my house.
“Mrs. Candy is awesome couldn’t ask for a better sitter! She made Bailey feel right at home and I received lots of pictures during her stay. I’ll definitely be using her again! I highly recommend!”
“Brianna took great care of our fur babies and sent lots of pics/videos to keep us updated daily! She cared for them like they were her own. I would highly recommend her to sit/care for your own.”
“Koa had the BEST time here, and I definitely plan on bringing her back! We received pictures and videos frequently throughout her stay, and she was well taken care of! Thank you so much for taking great care of her :)”
“Abby graciously accepted our booking request and provided a warm, loving home for Bear while we were out of town for the week. Leaving our boy behind is never easy, but Abby, Eli, and their pups made it so much easier. We knew Bear was in great company and would be well cared for. We received several updates and photos throughout the week, and it was clear he quickly made himself at home. More importantly, he looked comfortable, happy, and encouraged to do so. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was being treated like part of the family. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Abby again!”
“She really took good care of my girl. The photos sent everyday made me know she was great. My first experience and I was gone for 7 days. Will be Summer babysitter and I highly recommend.”
“Laurie did a great job with our dog Zack! She did wonderful at keeping us up to date with Zack. Highly recommend her if you need a dog sitter. Zack really enjoyed the fenced in yard.”
About: I am a very active person who thrives to make people and animals happy! I am passionate about staying true to my word and being professional. My schedule is perfect for this dog service. Growing up I always either had a pet cat, dog, or rabbit. I am in a great location close to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I have a whole box of treats. Innocent college student here just trying to make a buck while having a good time. I’d appreciate the opportunity to meet your loved ones! I can’t wait to start making a difference in the dog community and relieving some stress from dog owners while going on vacation or just taking some time to yourself! TREAT YO SELF! Red rover, red rover send your puppies and kitties right over! WOOF WOOF!
“We’ve used Simone 4 times now and we will never switch from her. She takes the best care of our dogs and they absolutely love it there. As soon as we turn into her neighborhood, they start whining and getting antsy because they are so excited! We are so thankful we found someone reliable to leave our babies with!”
“Our 70lb puppy can be a handful! We know. Lol. He is such a sweet dog, but might have a bit of an unhealthy attachment to his family. He definitely developed some big anxiety along the way and we have had difficulty kenneling him anymore. He needs some special attention to help calm him and he needs to know he's loved. We almost had to cancel our trip, but Tabitha agreed at the last minute for a meet and greet since he had never been around cats. She agreed to board him after we saw he was unfazed by the cats. She definitely cared for him very well! He didn't come home traumatized from being separated from us. He is active and moving as if nothing ever happened! He has a mean bark, but if you can get past it, you'll see he is just very protective and can be just so sweet. Tabitha went out of her way to make him feel at home!!! She is definitely a very loving animal person and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again and again!! Thank you Tabitha!”

About: I didn’t choose the cat life, the cat life chose me! I may have been late to becoming a cat person, but now I’m completely obsessed! My third “child” is an orange cat that I bottle-fed from the time he was just one day old. My family found four tiny abandoned kittens, and I fed them every two hours around the clock even bringing them to work with me so they never missed a feeding. We ended up keeping one, and you can’t convince me he’s not my baby. I also have a soft spot for stray cats. We have several around my workplace, and I’ve made it my mission to win them over (whether they like it or not! 😂). Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or wants all the cuddles, I’ll respect their personality and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for most of my life and have experience with cats of all ages, from young kittens to senior cats. Growing up, my family always had cats, including both indoor and outdoor cats, which gave me a strong understanding of their unique personalities, behaviors, and care needs. Over the years, I’ve provided drop-in visits and overnight pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. My experience includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand that every cat is different—some are social and playful, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence. I take the time to learn each cat’s routine and personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. Whether your cat needs extra attention, medication, or simply a reliable caregiver, I’ll treat them like one of my own.
“She definitely gave me peace of mind for my furbies!!!!! And also kept me informed of their needs beforehand so I could order anything if need be. Will definitely be using her again! P.s. she even took out the trash I forgot about before I left! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛”
“Chauna and her son are such nice people. They came over at the time we agreed on and I got pictures of my sweet kitty. Definitely going to use them again!!!”
About: As a pet parent and fellow Rover customer, I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your cat with someone else, especially when they have a specific routine or need extra patience to feel comfortable. I pay close attention to care instructions and the small details that help cats feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m especially patient with shy or nervous cats and let them warm up at their own pace. I treat every visit like I’m stepping into your cat’s normal routine, not interrupting it, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you know how they’re doing.
About: I have had animals my entire life that I have taken care of and loved. I had to leave my fur babies back home for school, so I wanted another way to see some other fur babies. I am a full time college student, with classes earlier in the day, so I will be free most afternoons and early in the mornings. I will follow the normal routine of your animals within your home, and meet all their needs. I will also offer some extra love and playtime for your precious animals.
About: I’ve been caring for cats my entire life and have experience with cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. From playful kittens to senior cats, I understand the importance of providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I’m familiar with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, administering basic care, recognizing changes in behavior, and giving each cat the patience and attention they need to feel secure. I genuinely love being around cats and treat every one as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of care, affection, and companionship while their owners are away. 🐾💛
“Lindy took great care of our cat and home! She did a wonderful job with a tricky oral medication administration, and made sure he had lots of love and attention while we were away. Highly recommend her for cat sitting!”
About: I have been around dogs of all sizes. My dogs are both over 55 pounds and full of energy. I can handle any energy level as well. I look forward to working with you and your dogs in the near future! I am a full time behavior tech at an ABA clinic. I work 8:00-3:30 Monday thru Friday, but am free any other time of the week. I am willing to take care of your babies in your home! I provide a loving environment and will love them like I would my own.
“Tessa came to check on my pets at the precise times I needed her to; on top of that, she was a very consistent communicator while I was away! I’m glad I booked with her and look forward to doing so again 🖤 10/10 recommend”
About: I have experience working in multiple veterinary clinics, which gives me a deeper understanding of animal health and behavior than the average sitter. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies and senior pets who may need extra patience or special attention. I’ve also been pet sitting and boarding for over three years, so I’m used to keeping pets comfortable, sticking to routines, and making them feel safe while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making sure they feel loved and stress-free. I recently moved to Lafayette from Pineville, I’m looking for new clients. I am available any day of the week. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for so they get regular walks, feeding times, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I make sure they stay on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I can provide your pet with safety and a lovable environment while in my care. Their physical and mental needs will be met to my best ability.
About: A cat was my first pet and I’ve had a place in my heart for them ever since. Have dealt with administering medications to a cat with seizures and a cat with UTI issues. Not gonna say I love cleaning litter boxes lol but I know what has to be done. Also have experience with a litter robot.
About: I mostly grew up with dogs, but have had cats for around the last 10 years. Currently I have three cats of my own. I have recently raised a litter of kittens whenever I had a pregnant cat come to me for help. That was one of the best experiences I have had. I will be kind and patient with your cats and fulfill any needs they may have. With cats I have learned to read body language to understand what kind of boundaries they may have, so I am able to be more patient with them if that is needed.
About: I am an experienced and dependable pet sitter with a passion for providing loving, personalized care for pets of all ages and abilities. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, including administering medications, following specialized care routines, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family and strive to give owners peace of mind through reliable, compassionate care. I work full time on the weekdays. I work a 8-4. If you need a caregiver to stay at the house or do 4 hour check-ins, i'm sorry but I wont be the best candidate. I can go early in morning around 7 after work around 5. If your dogs can stay by themselves for long periods of time then I can do the job! I do not board at my house. I live in an apartment and it would not work out. I do in home sitting at their place.

About: I’ve been drawn to dogs, horses, cats, and pretty much any animal with four legs (well even the ones that only have 3 limbs and are rescues) since I was little. I’ve never not had some sort of rescue dog. I am used to taking care of special needs and making sure animals get lots of attention and love. I am asked by friends and neighbors to take care of walking, feeding, and loving their pets while away. I haven’t met a dog/cat that I haven’t fallen in love with. I am also available to walk your dog daily. I stay at home with my father who is 80 years old in a four bedroom house. Your pet will get round the clock attention with frequent exercise, petting and feeding with your schedule requests. Your pet will be very loved and well taken care of. I am also experienced with special needs with medications or modifications that you may have. Your animal can spend time in the house and I also have a large fenced in yard. If an indoor pet your animal will have their own room (I have two extra bedrooms). If you prefer they can sleep in my room on pet pillows. I will take your pet on walks and they will also have a large backyard to explore. My dog (Copper) will stay with my father if I am going to your home. Light housekeeping and meal prep are available if needed for an additional fee.
“Tabitha took great care of Athena. She was excited to return the 2nd day, and really enjoyed being treated as one of the family. I appreciate the flexibility and the devotion Tabitha showed.”
“Thanks for everything Susan! Buddy had a great time and came back exhausted. My fur baby means the world to me and I needed someone who would take care of him like me. We will be making more appointments in the future!!”

About: Hi! I'm Maria, a lifelong animal lover and your trusted partner for safe, fun, and loving pet care. For over a decade, I've been the go to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. I understand that every pup has a unique personality, and my goal is to make them feel as happy and secure as if you never left. Why choose my home for your dog's stay? · A Safe, Spacious Haven: My house features a fully fenced, secure backyard with plenty of room for zoomies, playtime, and sunbathing. It's a true dog-friendly domain! · Active & Attentive Care: I believe in tailored care—whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer needing long walks and fetch sessions, or a cozy senior who prefers gentle strolls and plenty of couch cuddles. · A Stress-Free Environment: I provide a calm, clean, and pet-only home (no children), ensuring your dog receives my full attention and doesn't feel overwhelmed. · Constant Communication: You'll receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is having a great time. I treat every guest with the same love, patience, and respect I'd want for my own pet. Let's connect, I can't wait to welcome your best friend for their very own vacation. I work 4 to 6 hours a day; the rest of the time, I am at home. I always take them out to the yard before I leave, and I make sure they have food and water. When I return, I take them out to the yard again, and we go for a walk, following our established routine. They usually stay indoors, except for morning and evening walks and bathroom breaks in the fenced yard, which last approximately 30 minutes, three times a day. The dogs eat according to a schedule set by the owner, and they have the freedom to move freely around the house and lie down wherever they want. I have a medium-sized mixed-breed dog who usually ignores other dogs and sometimes plays with them if he likes them.
“Sadie and I would definitely recommend Megan for doggy daycare! She is prompt and reliable--Always responded to messaging right away. She seems genuine and friendly. Sadie, who is a little shy with strangers, warmed to her quickly. We would certainly use her kind services again!”

I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, playtime, and rest.

About: Ever since I was little, I’ve loved animals. I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, took two years of veterinary classes, and even worked at a veterinary clinic as my first job. Life took me on a different route but I never stopped loving animals. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether they need a walk, playtime, fresh food and water, medications, or just lots of love and attention. I’m also the person who stops for every stray animal (my husband has had to remind me we can’t keep them all! 😂). I have 3 dogs, 2 cats and a gecko at home. Most of them are strays so jokes on him! As a wife and mom, I understand how important it is to know your loved ones are in good hands. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and send plenty of photo updates so you know they’re happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I do work full-time, so I offer pet care before and after work, on days off, and during my available hours. This isn’t just a side job for me, it’s something I love and brings me happiness. Since I’ll be caring for your pet in your home, I always strive to keep their routine as normal as possible. And I think communication with you is key!

I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and everything in between, including feeding, walking, administering medications, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I take pride in following instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable and secure.

About: I currently have two dogs. My miniature Aussie, Bonnie, is a 12 year old pup who I have had since she was a puppy. My other pup is a black lab named Spade and she is 13 years old. Caring for these two girls brings me so much happiness that I decided to branch out and offer pet care services. I currently care for one other dog, a vizsla, that is almost 3 years old. He stays overnight with us when his parents are out of town. I also babysit a 10 week old black lab puppy at my house whenever her parents are busy.

Our two dogs love the yard and spend a lot of time out there whenever we are home. We have ample toys to share for entertainment! Our dogs love to bring their toys outside to play. The two other dogs I care for love playing in the yard as well. It is never a dull moment with this crew! I do allow our two dogs to lay on the couches with us as well as the other two pups I care for sometimes. I use harnesses on my two dogs for their walks around the neighborhood. I live in a low traffic neighborhood that is great for walking around. I can offer drop ins as well to walk, feed, or play with your pup.

Thank you for considering me for your pet care!
About: As a dog mom and fellow Rover customer, I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your pet with someone else. Especially when they have a specific routine, a lot of energy, or need extra patience to feel comfortable. I will follow care instructions closely, because the comfort and safety of your pet is my ultimate priority. I have years of experience caring for dogs and other animals, including horses, and I have a high-energy dog of my own who I actively train and work with every day. I’m especially gentle with shy or nervous animals and let pets warm up at their own pace. very pet has their own personality, boundaries, and way of communicating, and I do my best to make sure they feel understood, respected, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently in graduate school for communication and work part-time, so clear communication and staying organized are basically built into my daily life at this point. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I have flexibility for drop-in visits and walks throughout the week. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially those with specific routines, high energy levels, or anxiety around new people, and I take timing and instructions seriously. I treat every visit like I’m stepping into your pet’s normal routine, not interrupting it. That means I adjust my approach based on your pet’s personality and needs. You can definitely expect regular updates, photos, and detailed check-ins while you’re away. Before visits, feel free to give me all the furry details — I want to know it all! I’ve been the pet parent with a long list of concerns and preferences too, so you never have to worry about being “too much” when it comes to your pet.

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for so they get regular walks, feeding times, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I make sure they stay on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I can provide your pet with safety and a lovable environment while in my care. Their physical and mental needs will be met to my best ability.
About: I am very friendly with trained dogs and get along well with them. I'm more familiar with cats, but ever-growing my dog person skillset. 😄 I am currently unemployed, searching for my next full time(40hr) role. I can attend to pet care as needed 🙂 Will Communicate if I can care for your pet asap 😄 I take care of all Homes with extra caution and care, I take pride in treating spaces I'm a guest in better than my own :)
About: I went to school for animal health and behavior and I use to be a zookeeper. I know my stuff! Also grew up on a farm. I currently have 3 dogs who eat breakfast and dinner of real food that I cook everyday. I am well aware of proper nutrition as well as behavior training since three dogs can get easily chaotic if not handled properly. We play everyday and have sun tanning time for 2 hours. No matter my schedule we stay with there's! I have a fenced in yard and my dogs are trained not to run out any door. We have safe toys in a toy box that we check for broken pieces that may be ingested.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience working in veterinary medicine for over 10 years and my passion for animals. I love them!! I am currently working full time from home. I am pretty flexible to provide care that you need for your fur babies especially early in the morning, during breaks and after work I care for my pets in my home by treating them as if they are my children. My fur babies are super spoiled. I have a fenced in yard and provide them with super quality care constantly especially with me working in veterinary medicine I am always on alert for any problems.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for a very long time you can even say my whole life. I’ve raised cats, dogs, birds, chinchillas, even a chameleon from babies to adults. I’ve potty trained many puppies, taught them tricks, and even cared for pregnant mommas with puppies. Cats are more of my specialty though i’ve litter box trained them, taught them to walk on a leash, tamed feral cats/kittens. I also volunteer from time to time at the Acadiana Animal Aid shelter helping care for cats/dogs in need of homes. I’m currently working full-time. I work an 8 hour day normally from 8 am - 5 pm, my hours are flexible though. I also have a 1 hour lunch I can take. I’m completely free most weekends. I have a mostly fenced yard where my dog Huck loves to play, it is a little small but we make do with the space we have. My dog and cats gets fed twice a day morning/evening. If I’m caring for an animal in a clients home I can visit in the mornings/lunch/evenings depending on the care needed.
About: Hi! I’m a passionate and experienced dog lover with over 4 years of hands on experience working at a busy doggy daycare. In that role, I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Handling everything from playtime supervision and feeding to administering basic care and ensuring a safe, happy environment for every pup. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve grown up around them, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like they’re my own with patience, attention, and lots of love. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a reliable sitter, or just some extra attention while you’re away, you can count on me to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. I’m comfortable with high energy dogs, shy pups, and everything in between! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I’m a teacher during the week, so my pet care schedule fits perfectly around that! I’m available in the afternoons/evenings on weekdays, and I have full availability on weekends, holidays, and throughout the summer. This allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency when their owners need it most. I have a dog of my own, but I live in an apartment, so boarding in my home isn’t ideal. My dog is friendly so play dates are definitely an option if you’re okay with it! I prefer caring for pets in their own environment where they’re most comfortable. In a client’s home, I always follow all provided instructions closely and do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal and consistent as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any specific care needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and stress free while you’re away.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid because growing up I would always come home with new ones all the time! I have all the time to play and train dogs now because I got one of my own. I also used to work at Sherwood South Animal Emergency and Critical Care Center as a kennel attendant. So I really have a lot of hands on experience on running a kennel as well as dealing with the hurt animals in the ER. And I know a lot about medication, routines and food routines so it shouldn’t be a problem with the experience I have. If I didn’t have to move to Lafayette Louisiana, I would love to stay at the emergency hospital, but we wanted to move to a family safe area. I really had a lot of love for the animals that I took care of and was really a great experience. I’m currently working part time and can sit or board pups durning the weekdays and weekends!! From 9am to 7pm I could walk the pups. Boarding whenever!! I have a black lab puppy at the moment and train and take her for walks very often. It would be great for her to have some pups for friends we have a fence in yard and a dog park as well!
About: Ever since a kid animals have always fascinated me ! I loved playing and watching them grow as if they were my kids (which our pets are). I’ve watched dogs for coworkers and even friends , though the time was short many of the animals enjoyed their time with me being their sitter! I look forward to creating a special bond between me and your pet . Ensuring they feel safe and loved is what’s most important. Catering to your kiddos specific needs is what I do best . Whether it’s long walks , toy fights , or long baths , I’m down for the ride ! The world is such a beautiful place because of our animals why not love and cherish them .
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was roughly ten years old. I have experience with all age groups, training experience, and medical experience! I also have experience in potty training! I currently work fulltime for Rover, although that may change sometime in the future. I pride myself in taking the time and energy to devote myself to certain areas like pet care though. I follow rules to a T. I offer pet care in my home and I offer plenty of walks, playtime, love, and care! I always leave a clients home better than what I arrived to as well as a personal touch.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and compassionate pet caregiver who treats every animal like family. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I focus on creating a safe, loving, and calm environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, seniors, and those who need a little extra patience. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs—whether that’s playtime, walks, or just extra cuddles. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands. My goal is simple: to give your pet the same love and care they get from you. I’m currently working a part time job but when I’m not working I love to play with animals and giving them affection. And I love helping out. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, playtime, and rest. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also respecting their individual personalities and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, litter box or potty care, and any special needs like medication. I treat your home with respect and keep everything clean and organized. In both settings, I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing, and I’m always attentive to any changes in behavior or health.
About: Have had pets since I was young. Experience with a variety ranging from dogs and cats to reptiles and rodents. Newborn to seniors and special needs. Recently stopped working and soon to be an empty nester when my daughter leaves for grad school. This will give me pretty much open availability. Will care for your pet in your home as if they were my own but with your instructions. They will never lack for love and attention.
About: I care about my animals that I am with! It's my priority to fulfill their needs. I been a pet lover all of my life so this will be less of a job, more of something I love to do. Taking care of animals would be in my free time which is usually around 4 days a week. I work part time at a clinic, so it would be around my hours! I make it a priority to be there for animals and make sure they have what they need and make them feel loved and cared for.
About: Your pets aren't just guests; they are family. As a Veterinary Technician, I provide a level of care similar to having a pediatric nurse watch your children. My journey began at 18 as a bather and kennel tech, but my passion led me to work alongside some of the most skilled veterinarians in the field. Following the loss of my children’s father, Justin, I found myself at a crossroads, needing a career that allowed me to be there for my kids while still honoring my calling to work with animals. This led to my current mission: opening my own boarding facility in memory of Justin and my beloved rescue dog, Elsie, who stayed by my side from the day I met him until just days after his passing. When you trust me with your 'fur babies,' you aren’t just getting a sitter; you’re getting a professional dedicated to their health, happiness, and safety. I promise they’ll be wagging with joy the moment they hear my name!" I am currently not working due to conflicting hours with my children's school schedule. Therefore, I am flexible with pet sitting hours outside of school pickup/drop off times. As a person who has worked in animal health for a long period of time, safety is my main priority when it comes to your pet. I have done it all, from bathing pets to assisting in surgery. Your pet will always be in safe hands with me.

“Alysha was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Gucci. She was extremely patient, kind, and attentive, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Gucci takes a little while to warm up to new people, but she took the time to make him feel comfortable and cared for. It was clear that she genuinely loves dogs and treats them with compassion. I am so grateful for the excellent care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated sitter.”
“Zoe was fantastic! It’s very obvious that Zoe loves pets, .. and birds.. and squirrels. It’s an animal oasis! I was so very pleased to see the care and love she gave to my sweet pup Clover. I highly recommend Zoe and when you bring your sweet pup to her, you too will be writing a great recommendation!. Great care should be recognized! 🐾”
“A Lifesaver in Fur and Friendship: Thank You, Roger! When my family was thrown into chaos due to an unexpected medical emergency, we had no idea how we were going to care for Stella — my mom’s beloved (and very opinionated) pup. Enter Roger, our last-minute, Johnny-on-the-Spot superhero. From the moment he stepped in, Roger treated Stella like one of his own. He didn’t just walk her regularly — he made sure she got the exercise, attention, and affection she needed to feel safe and loved during a confusing time. He even embraced her quirks, including her very vocal opinions about dogs, horses, and — to our surprise — oxen on TV. Most sitters would’ve run for the hills. Roger? He laughed, turned down the volume, and gave her a belly rub. He let Stella sleep in his bed, kept her routine steady, and most importantly, gave us peace of mind when we needed it most. We still don’t know when my mom will be released from the hospital, but knowing Stella is in Roger’s care has been a huge comfort. He’s been there every step of the way — reliable, kind, and endlessly patient. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your pet — not just a sitter, but a true companion — Roger is your guy. We are beyond grateful.”
“Louie seemed happy and well taken care of when we picked him up from his stay. I’d be comfortable bringing him back to Allyson. You can tell she cares about animals and their wellbeing.”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs growing up as well as lots of other animals! I often dog sit for my siblings and love having them. I like my home to feel like their home with little adjustment. I work at 5 am and come home for lunch and am back home by 12 and am home for the rest of the night. I live right by my job and they are very flexible with me. I love being home in the evenings and having someone to take walks with is ideal! My apartment is open to pets, furniture included unless specified. I will happily keep pets off your furniture if needed. I take regular walks with a leash for exercise to make up for the lack of hard at my house.
“Mrs. Candy is awesome couldn’t ask for a better sitter! She made Bailey feel right at home and I received lots of pictures during her stay. I’ll definitely be using her again! I highly recommend!”
“Brianna took great care of our fur babies and sent lots of pics/videos to keep us updated daily! She cared for them like they were her own. I would highly recommend her to sit/care for your own.”
“Koa had the BEST time here, and I definitely plan on bringing her back! We received pictures and videos frequently throughout her stay, and she was well taken care of! Thank you so much for taking great care of her :)”
“Abby graciously accepted our booking request and provided a warm, loving home for Bear while we were out of town for the week. Leaving our boy behind is never easy, but Abby, Eli, and their pups made it so much easier. We knew Bear was in great company and would be well cared for. We received several updates and photos throughout the week, and it was clear he quickly made himself at home. More importantly, he looked comfortable, happy, and encouraged to do so. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was being treated like part of the family. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Abby again!”
“She really took good care of my girl. The photos sent everyday made me know she was great. My first experience and I was gone for 7 days. Will be Summer babysitter and I highly recommend.”
“Laurie did a great job with our dog Zack! She did wonderful at keeping us up to date with Zack. Highly recommend her if you need a dog sitter. Zack really enjoyed the fenced in yard.”
“Our 70lb puppy can be a handful! We know. Lol. He is such a sweet dog, but might have a bit of an unhealthy attachment to his family. He definitely developed some big anxiety along the way and we have had difficulty kenneling him anymore. He needs some special attention to help calm him and he needs to know he's loved. We almost had to cancel our trip, but Tabitha agreed at the last minute for a meet and greet since he had never been around cats. She agreed to board him after we saw he was unfazed by the cats. She definitely cared for him very well! He didn't come home traumatized from being separated from us. He is active and moving as if nothing ever happened! He has a mean bark, but if you can get past it, you'll see he is just very protective and can be just so sweet. Tabitha went out of her way to make him feel at home!!! She is definitely a very loving animal person and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again and again!! Thank you Tabitha!”

“Tamara did an amazing job taking care of Rico. I was very nervous, when I had to leave him, but she constantly informed me of how he was doing, and took plenty of pictures. I had a great trip , and didn’t have to worry about how Rico was doing. I recommend Tamara 100%”
