Not only was Skye reassured and happy, I was too!”

About: I’ve taken care of many different fury friends since. I was a kid. I have a dog of my own, but can get enough of quality time with all animals:) I just graduated PA school and have not found a job yet, so I’m looking to make extra money. I have pretty open availability during the week. I love all animals! I respect all homes and make sure to leave everything better than I found it! Love any tips to give your animal the best experience possible
“Mandee provided exceptional care for our 2 cats (& checked on our home/mail/trash). We appreciated the updates and pictures she provided. She played with our fur babies and made sure they were set with litter, food, and water each day. Would recommend and definitely book her again.”
“Erin and Brian showed our two cats so much care and attention. They were very communicative, sent pics and updates, took care of our cats, and helped with random things that came up around the home. I would be happy to have them watch the boys again and would recommend them.”
“Once again, Lauren did a great job visiting with my kitty. She sent me a video of the 2 of them playing so I know she engaged with Slick. It was good to see them both so happy!”
“Kerrigan did a great job with my kitties! Beulah doesn’t usually take to people and she was eating treats in Kerrigan’s lap. Gladys was her bossy self. It was nice to know that they were in good hands.”
“She went above and beyond to take care of our cats! We got tons of photos each visit, regular communication, and she even grabbed a package or two left on the doorstep. Her care and attention to our pets extended to our home when she even shoveled the walkway during a blizzard. We highly recommend her!!”
About: I offer cat sitting visits that include feeding, water, litter box cleaning, and basic care based on your instructions. I respect each cat’s personality and comfort level and always aim to keep their routine consistent while you’re away. I also provide updates with photos after each visit I have experience with shy cats, senior cats, indoor cats, and multi-cat households, and I adjust my care to each cat’s personality and comfort level Small animal I love caring for cats and small cage animals! I have extensive experience handling the unique routines of pocket pets like guinea pigs and hamsters. Whether your pet needs strict cage-cleaning schedules, precise daily feeding, or just some supervised floor time, I will ensure they stay safe and happy. Because Rover groups small pets differently, please book them under the "Cat" or "Other Pet" option. I am happy to adjust the final pricing for small caged animals, so feel free to message me for a custom quote!
“Jasmine lovingly made sure our 3 adored feline family members had fresh food and daily loves (at least for the 2 willing to come out for pets). She arrived right on schedule and always communicated well with comments and photos. It was such a treat to see our favorite fuzzy faces thriving while we were away. Thanks so much, again!”
“Holly was awesome with Luna and helped me out on short notice! She was reliable and provided me with great updates so I knew my fur baby was doing OK while I was away.”
About: I am the friends and family dog sitter! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and I could still pet them for hours and not get bored. On average I stay at someone houses for a week while they’re on vacation as well as but not as often a weekend stay. As well as drop in visits to feed, walk or let pets out to do their business. I am great will all breads and sizes of dogs/cats, as well as ages such as senior animals. I personally took are of our 90lb 11 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback after her back legs gave out. So while using a harness I would help her do everything, such as standing up to eat, move around and go outside. I can also do things like trimming nails and bathing them (especially if you unable to bath them yourself). I truly care and feel for every animal as if they were my own. I’m currently not working full time at the moment and have been doing small jobs here and there such as dog sitting for friends and family. I have a great portion of time for spend getting to know and engaging in your pets. I’m available anytime after 9am. I will care for your pets the way I would care for my own and in such continue their regular and daily routine. Including things such as walking them in the morning/night, playing with them and loving them or any other needed or wanted activities.
“Maia is outstanding! She did a great job caring for our cats and showing them attention while we were away. She made sure our senior cat got her medications every day. We also appreciated how many cat photos she took during her visits. We will definitely be rebooking Maia in the future.”
“Jordan was great with our cat, Zander! She followed all of his care instructions and sent us daily photos. It is nice to know that your fur baby is in good hands! ☺️”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog owner and lifelong dog lover who has raised and trained my own 4-year-old chocolate lab from puppyhood. I provide a safe, structured, and loving home where your dog will be treated like family. I’m a teacher and am home full-time during the summer, so your pup will get plenty of attention, including daily walks, playtime, and enrichment. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and can administer oral medications if needed. Dogs staying with me must be friendly, as they’ll be spending time with my well-socialized lab who loves having a buddy around. Dogs are welcome on furniture to feel at home (just not on beds). Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority, caring for them just like I do my own! I am home during the summers, as I teach during the school year! This allows my schedule to be flexible and provide your pet with frequent bathroom breaks, outside time, walks, and play time! Your pet will be welcomed into my home and treated like a family pet during their stay! Pets are allowed on furniture, but I request that they not sleep on the bed. I have beds that I can provide for them as an alternative sleeping area. My yard is fenced in for ease of bathroom breaks and time spent outside, but will likely be accompanied by me as I will likely be home during the majority of your pets stay. If your pet tends to get curious when left alone, I ask that you provide a crate for them to be put in when I have to run out of the house during your pets stay. I am pretty flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s needs during their stay!
About: We are a Christian home with a very active family! I’m thankful that my job allows me to spend most of my days at home with the kids and dog. Our dog is very friendly and loves new visitors. She’s smaller, but loves the big dogs best! My daughter on the other hand loves the smaller dogs. We will happily welcome them all! My dog and I frequent the dog parks, hiking trails, beaches and walks through the town. I used to be a former 4-H member with my childhood dog, so I’ve got many years experience with training and showing. My love and patience is huge for dogs. I prefer a dog to be kennel trained, and come with a crate but an open to discussion. I am very flexible and I will most certainly work with you with whatever you may need. Look forwarding to meeting you and your pup. We are home the majority of our days, tending to our hobby farm, and enjoying time outside. We have a very flexible schedule, and are willing to accommodate. The dogs are always fed separate, and separated when I leave! Pets are allowed on beds, and couches. They will get lots of time outside with us.
“Libby walked right in like she was visiting family and seemed very happy at the end of her visit. I could tell she enjoyed herself. I really appreciated the good care she received from Susan!”

We love going to fields to play ball or just going on nature walks around our neighborhood. This can happen at our house or yours as well! Pets are closely monitored throughout their whole stay with me. I also have the ability to crate your pet during certain parts of the day if you wish, otherwise they will have access to most of our home if they stay here :)
