“Sadie did really well staying with Jacob and Megan – with getting older, she has some anxiety when she’s not at home and can be a little 'stubborn'. They were very accommodating and I appreciated the extra effort. I would definitely use them again to watch Sadie!”
“Our 9 month old lab enjoyed his first time away from us at Jenn’s house. We did a meet and greet beforehand and received updates throughout his stay which put us at ease! We also loved the papers that came home that gave daily details about his stay. We will definitely book again!”

“I’m so glad we found Patrick and Bahiya on Rover to take care of our dog. My Loki can be a little “extra” but everything worked out so great and it was wonderful to be able to enjoy our vacation and know he was so taken care of. I can’t thank you enough for the daily updates seeing him so well taken care of.”
“Gisel and her family took great care of my girl Kola. Kola had a case of severely itchy paws pop up the day before we were set to leave town. I was able to get some meds from the vet before we left. I let Gisel know what was going on with Kola, as she was licking and chewing her paws and they were very red. I kept socks on her paws and gave her Benadryl in between the meds from the vet. Gisel also kept this up for the four days Kola stayed with her family. I was so thankful and appreciative of the extra care Gisel and her family gave Kola. Kola’s itchy paws popped up so last minute and Gisel assured me she would take great care of her and she did just that! I would definitely use Gisel again for Kola!”

“I am so glad I chose her. She gave me wonderful updates with pictures of my kitties and put my mind at ease. When I came home everything was clean and in order. So thank you sooo much Janis. I will definitely use you again.”
About: I’m a mental health therapist and lifelong animal lover, so I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your pets. I grew up around animals—my mom ran her own professional pet sitting business, and I learned from her experience with the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, and more—and have been trusted with their care since I was a teen. I’m comfortable and experienced with medicating pets when needed, always following your instructions carefully. As a pet parent myself, with my cat Luna at home, I know how much your pets mean. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and sizes—young or old, big or small—and treat every pet like part of my family. Because when your pet is happy, you are happy!
“Jordan was wonderful. She kept me informed at every visit and was even kind enough to bring in a package without being asked. She is trustworthy and loves cats. Our cat looked very happy upon our return.”
“Thank you Mariah. I’m glad Birdie greeted you and you captured a lot of great pictures. It really does the heart well to see your fur baby is ok while traveling. Until next time. 😻”
“Pamela has gone above and beyond each time she has checked on my cat! I would NOT go on vacation if I didn’t have someone like Pamela to rely on. She is an animal lover that treats my cat as if she is hers. ❤️”
“Ammelia is great with our Izzy kitty. We’ve booked her more than once. She asks great questions during the introductory visit in order to get to know your pet and sends thoughtful updates complete with pictures throughout her visits. We feel good knowing our kitty is in good hands while we’re away.”
About: I’ve had many cats through all phases of my life, and they’re my favorite animal! My kitties are all old so I administer medicine daily, and keep them active everyday to help their bones and joints. Also a huge fan of kittens!
About: I have taken care of dogs of every size and breed. I love dogs and I am a huge kid at heart when I see them in public. Although I have a large dog, pugs have always had my heart. We have tons of fish at our house as well, in a 50 gallon tank. Aside from dogs, I grew up with Maine coon cats. I am very familiar with this breed as well as the needs for most breeds. I had guinea pigs and geckos when I was a child. I am comfortable around farm animals since my grandparents owned a farm and my cousin is running it now. I’m up for anything so just send me a message if I seem like a good fit :) I am a teacher who is off for the summer! I am available for multiple drop ins and overnights. Drop ins can range from early morning to very late evenings. Weekends are a little easier for overnights because I do have a 16 month old and a husband who works full time during the week. The more notice, the better. I offer services in your home. Whatever your routines and needs are, I am very detailed in my notes and what I can provide. I am trustworthy and dependable, organized and thoughtful.

About: I have dog sat, dog walked, and cared for animals since I was in my teens! I have owned small dogs and big dogs and understand their different personalities and needs. I took animal science in school and foster so I am comfortable with different meds and cares. I currently have a flexible schedule as a home nurse who travels intermittently through the day! My schedule varies which makes it flexible. I also am free most weekends and evenings! My animals are well loved and cared for in their home. They are always made to feel safe and comfortable. I know how to respect boundaries and follow rules. I aim to please and only want the best for your furry children.
“Kathleen was wonderful! She was quick to respond and very flexible. Well equipped with puppy gates and pee pads just in case. My senior was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Kathleen.”
About: Certified Dog Trainer & Professional Pet Spoiler I’ve been caring for animals professionally for over 10 years—basically, I’m the Mary Poppins of pets (minus the umbrella, plus a lot more treats). I work remotely, which means I have plenty of time to shower your furry, feathery, or finned friends with attention while you’re away. I share my life with my own dog, Roux, who would need to join me for overnight house sitting—she’s well-mannered, charming, and believes she’s the CEO of the operation. Specialties include: • Raising & training puppies (basic commands, potty, & crate training) • Senior pet care • Dogs with anxiety • Administering medications • Cat care (yes, even the sassy ones) • Rodent care (mice, guinea pigs, bunnies—you name it) • Basic fish tank maintenance (I’ve never lost a guppy on my watch) I work remotely which gives me some flexibility to care for your pup. I prefer overnight stays at the clients home with the ability to come home to work during the day but may be able to bring my work to you. I care for my clients pets exactly the same as their owner and better! I love them like my own. An in home pet sitter is a great way to keep your pets routine so they are less stressed while you are away.
About: What sets me apart is my six years of experience caring for my rescue dog, who is sensitive and shy. This has taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to create a calm environment tailored to each dog’s unique needs. I’m especially good at working with dogs that require extra reassurance and care. Working part-time from home allows me to keep a flexible routine for the pets I care for. I’m home most of the day, so I can follow their schedule closely — from walks and feeding times to playtime and rest — making sure they always feel safe and loved. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets are always supervised, have access to fresh water, and enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times.
“Our Pup had a great time at Shanon's. He enjoyed the company of her older dogs. Her backyard is fenced, huge, and safe. Very good at communication, and we received updates with pictures. Shanon listened to us on our specific instructions and followed them. She always responded timely to our texts. Fed the pup on time and also arranged a cozy bed for him. We recommend her and would definitely book again when in the area.”
