About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats my entire life and cannot remember a time I didn't love them all. My cat is no longer with me but I still have dogs and would love to care for your pets as I currently do my own. I can handle big dogs and little dogs as well as am willing to clean out your cats litterboxes. I'm happy to tussle with big dogs and take naps with lap dogs anytime! I'm a college student looking for work over the breaks and any pet time over the semester as I'll be away from my own. I'm happy to work around my class schedule to be with your pets as much as possible. I have a mostly fenced yard with the only opening being the driveway but intend to do walks and keep pets leashed just for safety. My own home has two dogs that are great with other dogs, both of them being on the smaller side and great with people as well. When I'm up at school there will be no other pets up there and the space will be fully for your pets. I'm also able to do house sitting, walks, and drop-ins for your pets to make sure your pets are getting love and attention when you're away.
“Ken and family did a great job with OllieVader (Ollie for short). Our family went on a short wked trip. Unfortunately NO Dogs Allowed. They cared for him like he was their own. Send pictures of him making himself at home. Drop off and pick-up we're a breeze. Definitely will book again with them.”
“Kelly and her husband are simply amazing. From booking to post-pick-up, their communication was clear and timely. During Leo's stay with them, Kelly sent me photos, videos, and update comments numerous times throughout the day. It made a huge difference for me and my daughter (9 yo) who missed Leo very much during our trip. They were so warm and kind to Leo, and I could tell that they truly cared for the pet they were looking after. They took Leo to exciting walks, let him play off leach in their backyard, and cuddled with him. I know they've done all of this because they send me so many pictures. Leo looked very comfortable and content in the photos and videos. I highly recommend Kelly and her husband!!!”
“Brittanie & Ryan were amazing! I had never used this service before and was a bit nervous. They were great and explained how it worked, and I met them before booking to make sure it was a good fit for all of us. It really was!! I could tell they took care of my dog as well as their own. They sent pictures throughout the week and texted back right away with any questions that I had. I can’t thank them enough and would definitely recommend them 100%! What a wonderful family and they loved Lucky and he was so happy with them and their family.”
“Cheryl was amazing! We constantly received pictures and videos of our fur baby and never had to wonder how he was doing. She was also very accommodating of us when we were late to pickup due to our flight being late. Highly recommend!”
“Steve and Ginnie were excellent hosts. During Badru's stay, they shared plenty of updates and treated him like a member of the family. He so enjoyed his stay, he did not want to return home: that's great!”
“Virginia was amazing. Our dog loved being at her house with her two dogs and was thoroughly worn out after playing at her house all day. Will definitely be using Virginia again.”
“Lingli was so sweet and attentive the entire stay and was great about sending videos and pictures. My cat was taken care of so well and she's a really great communicator.”
“I felt comfortable leaving my pup with Nicolas. His home a was clean and spacious, and his neighborhood was suitable for dog walking. Would definitely recommend and request to board with him again.”
“Davida took excellent care of Hades. He’s not the very best friendly dog but at the end of his stayed he got so used to her that was amazing. Davida make sure I received videos and pictures of him and all of the pictures he looked so happy to be there. I’m very careful to who I leave my big puppy like I call him, but I would definitely recommend her”
“Robin went above and beyond to make sure my pup felt at home and loved! This was my first time leaving my fur baby with someone other than family. Needless to say, I was an emotional wreck. As we were leaving, we thought our dog would start crying and scratching at the door, but no, she followed Robin inside immediately. Robin took many videos and pictures throughout my dogs stay and sent them to me knowing I was a bit nervous. This calmed my nerves and I was able to enjoy my vacation. I’m going to definitely leave my baby with Robin when I go again!!!”
“Ariel is an extremely dedicated and kind dog sitter. When our pup was homesick and struggling, she did everything in her power to provide love and security for our dog. She took the dog on long walks to get out the energy and even went out of her way to purchase bones from Petco for our dog to chew on. We are so appreciative.”
“Theresa and her daughter took such good care of our dog, Lily! They really loved her like their own and sent plenty of daily updates and pictures. We enjoyed ourselves on vacation knowing that our pup was in good hands.”
“Kimberly is the best, she took such great care of my Neco. She cared for him for 6 days through the Thanksgiving Holiday. She sent me great pictures and videos of him daily. She is a true dog lover. I will definitely be booking her again to care for my dog.”
“Odessa was great! This was my very first time using Rover and the first time ever going on a week-long vacation and leaving my dog with someone, so I was super nervous. Odessa was very reassuring. She sent updates and photos of Rozay, which eased my mind and made me feel so much better as the days went by. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking her on my next trip.”
“So kind, responded promptly, and gave great updates with pictures while Nika was staying with them. My return flight got canceled and when I asked if Nika could stay with them another night, they were so kind and accommodating. I felt a lot less stress knowing my girl was in good hands.”
“My dog had so much fun while I was on vacation. It is like he was on a vacation of his own. They cared for my dog like he was their dog and even sent me updates. This was the longest I left my dog with someone and I was comfortable the whole time. I highly recommend Rodney and Marissa and will return in the future. Thank you again!”
“I’m so grateful that I found Kassandra to board my dog, Benji! The consistent updates and photos provided throughout, gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Kassandra and her adorable son will love your dog like their own to make the absence easier on your pup. Oh, and benji got spoiled with that amazing fenced in yard! 10/10 recommend.”

“Leah did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty. She shared detailed reports of her visits, and did great with giving Nudge her meds. I highly recommend working with Leah for drop in cat visits!”
“Amanda was amazing. We just got a new kitten where she watched our other cat in the past. She wanted to come over before the trip to make sure she knew how they were getting along and the routine. Amanda was on time with the visits and we really appreciated her reaching out for questions we didn’t cover and double checking on the room temperatures to make sure our little ones were comfortable and happy. She’s a very thoughtful and caring cat sitter. That meant a lot coming home to our cats who were very relaxed and not stressed from us leaving for a week.”
“Shania was very communicative and on time. Shania took great care of my Oscar and I could tell he felt comfortable being his goofy self with her from the start. He can sometimes be shy. He was also well fed and had a clean restroom space, which was great.”
“Sophie has taken wonderful care of my two cats, including one senior and one very shy cat. She’s careful, curious, and very observant. Looking forward to booking her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of my cat for the past 10 years. As she has grown into her senior years, I have learned to look for concerns, provide medication, and adjust to her. I know how to clean litter boxes, provide food/water, and clean up any messes!
“Joscelyn did an excellent job looking after our 3 cats for the whole week we were away. We reached out to her last minute the day before our trip. Issues came up with the cat sitter we had already hired forcing us to look for a new cat sitter within 24 hours. Joscelyn put us at ease with her immediate response and effective and timely communication. She swung by the night before just a few hours later after reaching out to her for the first time. She understood the tasks at hand, no drama no fuzz. She communicated daily with us, sending us pictures of our 3 cats and letting us know when she came by. We really could not have asked for a better sitter. She went beyond what was expected of her. We came home to find a clean home. She swept the floors around the cat litter area which is something no other prior sitter had done before. She did all the menial extra things we asked for. We are definitely tipping her well. We highly recommend her.”
“Susan is our go to. She’s basically our pets’ god mother 🤣. Not only is she a phenomenal pet sitter with cute pics and updates.. But her knowledge of animal behavior is impeccable. 100/10 recommend her to pet sit as well as training sessions. She’s been with us since we first brought our puppy home and has made such a positive impact on her behavior. I always tell my friends/family about her!❤️”
“Janine took good care of my kitties. She followed up each visit with good photos after, and she helped me figure out my automatic feeder. She was also very flexible when I asked if we could make a schedule change.”
“Keira did a fantastic job with our shy cats. I felt confident that they were looked after and taken care of Keira will be the first one I call for out of town trips in the future.”
“Casie did a great job taking care of Tabby for the week while we were away. She was super easy to work with and very communicative. Tabby seemed content when we came home and seemed to really like Casie! Casie also did a great job of keeping Tabby's litter box clean. We're so glad we booked with her and would definitely book with her again!”
“Sean was everything you could hope for when traveling without your pet. He was very communicative, prompt and professional and left us feeling that Ellie was in great hands.”
“Anna is so sweet and takes great care of my babies! She’s my go to sitter when I’m out of town. She’s sends so many pictures and gives detailed updates about my cats. She’s very attentive and alerted me of of possible medical issue with one of them. Thanks Anna!”
“Fallon recently did drop in visits with my cat for 8 days. This was my first time booking with her. Prior to booking with Fallon, she asked great questions & took a lot of notes when we did a meet & greet, which I loved! She took such great care of my fur baby. My cat seemed very happy with her as well. I received several pictures & updates each day. She even vacuumed up the litter that he flung from his box (thank you for doing this)! Fallon is very personable, kind, caring & compassionate. I highly recommend her if you are in need of someone to care for your pet!”
“Samantha was a great repeat walker for us! AlaHs responsive, and she followed my pedantic neighborhood dog rules to a T (again lol I'm so sorry but great work), avoiding the houses she had to avoid, etc. I would trust her again!”
“Madison is great. On her first visit, our shy cat Chaka interacted with her like they were old friends. She sent pics & videos and both our cats were clearly happy with her. We’re looking forward to our next time working with Madison. She’s outstanding!”
About: I've taken care of a dog in various formats since I was 14 years old. Currently I have three dogs that I have rescued and raised from various experiences where without me, they would have ended up worse off. I have extensive knowledge in pet care, wellbeing and injuries to keep a dog safe, happy and in a loving home. I've made it a point to understand dog nonverbal communication so that I can identify issues as they arise and keep my and your pets safe. My wife and I work opposite schedules most of the week meaning someone is home most of the day. I am an early riser often starting my day at 5am where I handle pet care until I leave for work around 7:30am. My wife takes over care until I return from work at 5pm and this is how our schedule runs Tuesday through Thursday. Monday and Friday we work the same shift so our pups will be unsupervised from 10am-5pm but are left in safe environments with plenty of mental stimulation and given potty breaks at 10am and extended breaks at 5pm when I arrive home. I am home all day on the weekends to take care of pet needs. I have a fenced in backyard that the dogs are free to play in all day with my other pups who are very friendly to other dogs. We have dog crates already set up in the home that are used on as needed basis and lots of mental stimulation toys like kongs, puzzles and treat dispensing toys. For my dogs they eat twice a day in the morning and night and are allowed unlimited (supervised through security cameras and frequent checks) backyard time, where there is water and a dog house to cool off. The dogs get walked on a rotating schedule throughout the week. In others homes I am sure to follow the schedule of the owner and ensure the wellbeing of your pet.
“Lorraine took excellent care of our four cats while we were away for a week. Communication was prompt and reliable, and all instructions were followed with great care. Lorraine went above and beyond by spending extra time cleaning and giving our fur babies additional attention. We are extremely pleased with the service and will absolutely book again.”

“I can’t say enough good things about the care my Duchess received from Lingli!! From the moment we arrived, I felt completely at ease. She was so kind and welcoming, and I truly appreciated the daily photo updates—it made being away from Duchess so much easier. Lingli's patience and flexibility, especially with my changing schedule due to meetings, meant the world to me. It’s rare to find someone who is both professional and genuinely loving toward pets, but she’s exactly that. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life ranging in size from a pug to english mastiffs. My last mastiff had epilepsy so no medical issue is too big for me to handle. I am a recent college graduate looking to make some extra money while looking for a job. I currently have a lot of time on my hands so I am keeping busy by helping other pet owners! Both of my dogs are friendly, but the size of my mastiff Boh can intimidate other dogs. He is a very sweet boy just large. I am able to bring them over to my fenced in yard or come to you and hang out with your pup.

He loves spending time with Nicole and her family and I could tell how comfortable and happy he was. I’m so thankful for their attentive care. On top of that, I reached out last minute and she didn’t hesitate, she even came to pick him up. Her service is truly impeccable and I’m beyond grateful to have someone I can trust with my son.”
“Our pup’s overnight with Shannon was absolutely wonderful! Shannon is very nice and it is evident she really loves and cares for animals. She took great care of our Boston Terrier she kept us posted regularly on how he was doing with photos of him playing with the other dogs. It’s a big relief to know we can bring him there the next time we are going to be away and know not only that he will be in good hands but that he’s happy and having lots of fun.”

“Highly recommend Karla! Dodger was right at home! We loved Karla’s updates and photos, showing him having fun on neighborhood walks, eating his meal, and snuggling. Karla asked so many helpful questions to make sure that Dodger and she had everything they needed.”
“Morgan did a great job taking care of our fur baby! Our golden retriever had plenty of canine playmates and a good amount of yard time. Morgan is very easy to work with and she'll send you pictures of your pooch while you're gone, so you can see how your dog is doing :)”
“Chris took wonderful care of our Zoe. From the initial meet and greet Zoe felt at ease with Chris which continued during her stay. Communication was outstanding and put us at ease with leaving our fur baby for a few days. Thanks Chris.”
“Casey and Marwa are the most accommodating and caring dog sitters, we have ever had. They do their best to keep with the routines that Indiana knows and then add extra long walks, treats, brushing, playing, and lots of love. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly. On top of that, they are super-flexible with drop off and pick up times and took Indy in on very short notice. Will definitely be back”
“Shruti took excellent care of my dog this weekend and did a truly wonderful job. She was communicative, responsible, and clearly loves animals. My dog was happy, well cared for, and relaxed when I returned, which says it all. I highly recommend Shurti and would absolutely book her again!”
