Highly-rated overnight sitters - Sciota
“One issue - Stella was wayyyyyy too spoiled! We felt very comfortable with Michelle and she communicated well from the first meet and greet to the week long stay. You can tell she truly loves animals and we will use her again. Thanks for making her feel at home and we also appreciate the fact that there is only one client at a time.”
“Could not have been better!!!!. We were afraid Maggie wouldn’t want to come home😂. Joni is absolutely wonderful and awesome. We never had to worry about Maggie. Joni sent us messages and updates and videos, so kind and caring. We just can’t say enough great things about Joni.”
“Martha was very personable in our arrangement. She sent several messages to let us know how our Gabbi was doing. We've got a real spoiled dog and she wasn't used to being away, but Martha allowed her to sleep with her to keep her calm. That was much appreciated.”
“Jacqueline did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. She provided regular updates with photos and videos of his stay. I was pleased to know he was in safe hands and being cared for. Will use Jacqueline’s services again.”
“They took great care of my special pup. I wasn't sure how he'd do being boarded without his brother for the first time in 4 years, but he did great. I got regular updates and knew my baby was being well cared for.”
“Chris was a great dog sitter. Copper had a great time with all the cuddles he got, and Chris sent pictures a couple of times. Would definitely use Chris and his family to watch my dog anytime.”
“Cheryl watched my 13+ year old tri-ped for 2 weeks. He was well taken care of, she recognized when his remaining back leg was too tired for a 2nd walk of the day. Took care with him during thunderstorms. My dog and hers got along well. I absolutely would and will book with her again.”
“Sara and John Patrick took exceptional care of our senior girl. We received regular updates with photos of how she was doing and all of the love she was getting from the family. We are always hesitant to leave her with someone who isn't family, especially as she has gotten older, but we had no concerns after dropping her off. We will highly recommend them to friends and hope to rebook with them when the need arises.”
“Kasey and her family are incredible, the communication and videos of our boy Mack throughout the stay were very comforting. They treated Mack like one of their own. Would highly recommend.”
“Kimberly was very informative from the moment she met Rylee. I appreciate how she sent updates throughout my week long trips. The photos she sent often put me at ease. Kimberly was very patient with Rylee as well. Thank you again for taking care of her!”
“Toni was great and they really made my dog feel comfortable being in a new setting with new experiences. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Great communication and I was so happy she was available on short notice.”
“As any pet owner knows, finding a sitter you can completely trust is like striking gold. It’s not just about a service—it’s about finding someone who genuinely cares for your furry family member. I recently had the incredible good fortune to find Haley, who took amazing care of our dog, Polly. The peace of mind she gave us was invaluable. From the start, Haley was an amazing communicator, providing us with updates that let us know Polly was happy, safe, and loved. You can tell she genuinely cares deeply about every animal she welcomes into her home. Polly was happy and well-adjusted upon her return, which is the best indicator of the loving and attentive environment Haley provides. We are truly beyond grateful for her exceptional care. I highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter. We're already looking forward to Polly's next stay with her in the near future!”
“Jordan’s communication was top notch!!! Jordan was very attentive to my concerns and was flexible with our pick up/drop off schedule. Most importantly, I felt like Willard was in good hands for the short time we were away. Jordan sent texts and pictures of Willard and kept us updated throughout the stay. Jordan is great!! Highly recommended sitter!”
“Our dog, Darla, had such a good time! Marty sent me wonderful updates including pictures, which is always so great. She is warm, sweet and accommodating, we will be using her from now on! Thank you Marty and family ❤️”
“Olivia did a great job watching Hawk over the holidays! She sent lots of pictures and gave him lots of attention. He’s a high energy dog, and she handled him perfectly. We could tell he had a great time with her. We recommend Olivia and plan to use her services again down the road!”
“I was happy with the care she provided for my fur babies!! I felt completely comforted because she sent pics and videos for me to see!! Thank you so much and I will be using her again!!!”

We ended up having to extend our trip twice, and Cheyenne was so flexible about adding extra days. It was very appreciated. Our cats seem healthy and happy now that we're home! Cheyenne's updates were great, with pictures and info each visit. Would recommend to others!”
“Wonderful and thorough care. I never worried about my boy while gone for a week. She anticipated needs even I did not (full litter box change) and went above and beyond in other ways as well. She sends lots of updates which was a comfort while away. She cared for my boy cat Zissou as if her own. 1000% recommend! She will be who I use for any future needs.”
About: I’ve almost always had a dog for the past 24 years. Currently have a hobby farm: goats & alpacas. We have a house cat, barn cat, & hairless crazy sphynx cat. We have our Golden doodle and often our grand dog too. The dogs are all very chill. But love to play when out in the yard. I love taking pet photos and I can almost bet while I’m with your pet I will take a few photos as well. I work from home running my own business and therefore I can easily manage my schedule. . Errands can typically be run by another family member if needed. That leaves me open to accommodate most pet needs. When I am watching your pet in your home I will provide some training or work with your training needs. I can provide some stimulating games. I love taking pet photos so I can keep you updated with cute photos! When taking your pet for a walk I will be happy to follow your routine. If snacks are ok for your 4 legged family member then I’ll be happy to spoil them with some.
“Ashley aka Red is the best in the area. She loves our pets as if they were her own and we cannot thank her enough for helping us when we have to go out of town. She is always on time, kind and courteous and I know our furry friends love her too. Thanks Red for all that you do for us and the community.”
“Julie was great! We had a visit before she dropped in on Louis for the first time. She sent lots of pictures and a really cute description of their time together. Already rebooked again!”
“Great care! Highly recommend. She even contacted me to let me know something was weird in the house. She went above and beyond. I will be hiring her again next time we need care.”

About: While I love animals of all kinds, cats are my soul animals. As you probably saw in other spots on my profile, I currently have 4 of my own. (I had five, but I very sadly lost my dear girl, Rita, to cancer last year ❤️). I love my kitties so much that I literally have two of their portraits tattooed on my arm. They're my entire world. I know that those of us who love cats, all share the same obsession. We're a special type of person. I currently care-take for my sick boy, Castle, dealing with his kidney disease. And have taken care of all my babies with the utmost care through their whole lives. I'm comfortable and confident in giving all kinds of medications, including administering subcutaneous fluids by myself. I'd love to care for your kitties while you're away!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Sciota
“Timmy loved being with Joni for the first time! I could tell he was comfortable and having fun especially with playmate, Sheldon! Timmy was worn out in a good way! Great relief to know I can drop him off and he is cared for like I would care for him!”
“Cody was a huge help while we were visiting the area. We needed help with Walter for an event that we had and Cody was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. If we were in the area we would use Cody again for sure.”
“Victoria and her family watched my excitable slightly hyper puppy and treated him as if he was one of their own. He had a blast for his daycare visit. I plan on continuing to trust the care of my pets with them.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. Family and friends have never hesitated to trust me as their dog sitter! I’m able to work with any dog or cat, whether that be puppies and kittens or your senior animal! I’m currently on winter break from college and have very flexible availability. My work schedule is set weekly, so I update my Rover calendar regularly and communicate clearly about availability. I’m fully available Saturdays and Sundays, and consistently available Fridays after 5pm. Once classes resume, I’ll have a more structured schedule and will continue to keep my calendar up to date so pet parents always know when I’m available. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to let pets warm up to me and follow their usual routines as closely as possible. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions, and I treat every home with respect. I also like to send updates during visits so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Alex was so helpful for us. We needed somewhere to put our dogs for an evening for my daughters graduation from MSU and a few hiccups came up along the way and Alex was able to accommodate a few last minute changes. She sent us pictures and videos so we would know the animals had settled in. Definitely would recommend her.”

About: I’m a dog owner and lover who treats every pet like part of the family. Our home is a peaceful, lakefront retreat where dogs get plenty of attention, affection, and a calm environment to feel safe and loved while you’re away. Each dog will have their own private space and we have a puppy community areas indoors for the winter. Our backyard is not currently fenced but will be fully fenced in with a 6ft fence by March. We have 2 lovely dogs ourselves, a male mini Aussie and female puppy golden retriever. I’ve grown up around pets and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, understanding their needs, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. Together, we provide a structured, nurturing environment with lots of supervision, play, and one-on-one attention. Your pup won’t just be boarded—they’ll be on vacation. From cozy private spaces to outdoor time and daily updates, we make sure every dog truly lives the good life while staying at our lakefront home. We can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home! Your dog will never be left alone or unattended in our home. My wife, our in-house assistant, and I work together to ensure dogs are seamlessly cared for throughout the day in a calm, structured environment. My wife is home full-time and is the primary caregiver during the day. She handles feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, rest periods, and one-on-one attention. Her background in childcare as a nanny translates perfectly into maintaining routines, monitoring behavior, and providing patient, attentive care. Our in-house assistant is also home full-time and supports daily care by assisting with supervised play, cleaning and sanitizing spaces, meal prep, and individual check-ins. This allows us to keep our dog-to-human ratio low and give each pup personalized attention. I’m actively involved as well, helping with morning and evening routines, enrichment activities, and overall supervision. With multiple adults present at all times, dogs are rotated through play, rest, and care schedules so no pup is ever overwhelmed or overlooked. Because we are always home, dogs receive frequent potty breaks, consistent supervision, and plenty of affection—just like they would with their own family. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are our top priorities. We’ve intentionally created a calm, structured environment where dogs are closely supervised and cared for at all times. Our home is never unattended—my wife, our in-house assistant, and I are always present, ensuring constant supervision throughout the day and night. Dogs are cared for in a controlled setting with private, comfortable spaces to rest and decompress, helping reduce stress and overstimulation. We maintain strict cleanliness and safety standards, including regular sanitizing of all dog areas, food and water bowls, and shared spaces. We follow each dog’s individual care instructions carefully, from feeding schedules to potty routines and any special needs. We are selective about the dogs we accept to ensure a safe, positive environment for everyone. This allows us to maintain a low dog-to-human ratio, closely monitor behavior, and give each pup the attention they deserve. For added peace of mind, we provide regular photo and video updates so you can see your dog happy, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. Our goal is to create a trusted home-away-from-home where you can travel confidently knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in great hands.

I’m all about making sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, some fresh air, or a long walk to burn off energy, I’m here to help. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and needs to make sure they feel at ease. In my client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely from feeding schedules and walk times to any special care needs. I always make sure pets feel loved, whether that means extra belly rubs, playtime, or simply keeping them company. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, I make sure they have a cozy, safe space to relax. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and offer plenty of attention, walks, and play throughout the day. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like family!

About: Hi! My goal is to make sure your pet is safe and comfortable while getting the best form of care I can provide.

About: For years I have been surrounded by animals and taking care of them. I am here to help owners who don’t have the time to give their dogs a walk or even needing pet sitting! Currently this is my only job, I only will be doing sitting or walking during the week. My routine basically depends on the animals and what client's wish me to help with or do during my hours with the animals. I can take care of lizards, dogs, and cats. I always first make sure what allergies or restrictions are needed for the pet at their home. I offer walking and pet sitting. I can come at certain times the owner needs by request to make sure the animal is safe and cared for.

“She has been amazing with Charlie! There was one day Charlie was choking a bit, and she reached out to let me know right away. She shows up every scheduled day on time! I know Charlie loves his walks with her.”
“Lisa is delightful and a great communicator. She is reliable and so good with my senior chihuahua mix, Mika. It is very comforting to know Lisa also has a senior chihuahua, and is very experienced with dog care. I am happy Mika seems to really enjoy her walks with Lisa and was able to get comfortable with her fast. Lisa takes her time and is in tune with Mika’s needs. I feel bad on days I have to leave Mika alone at home for so long for work, so it means the world to me that Lisa makes sure her time with Mika is quality bonding.”
About: I've owned pets of all kinds starting as a child! Animals bring me incredible joy, and I'd love to bring that joy into your home when I watch yours! I've owned, rescued and loved cats, dogs, rabbits, ducks, raccoons, birds, and squirrels! I currently own 4 cats, all of which were rescues. Two of them brother and sister who I hand raised and bottle fed. I also have 3 dogs, A gaggle a blue heelers, so I'm especially used to high energy pups. Though they very recently left my care due to a separation. I take great pride in the attention to detail I give to the animals in my care. I'm experienced in giving all kinds of medications, to both dogs and cats. In fact, one of my own kitties has kidney disease, and I've been managing his treatment and care 100% alone. Cooking him three meals a day, hand feeding, administering any medications needed, and even giving him at-home subcutaneous fluids. But as always, let's please communicate about the details of your pet beforehand if any special care is needed so we can make sure we're a great fit for eachother! I'm a corporate professional who is very fortunate to work from home, and has really great control of their schedule! So I can very likely work my schedule around your needs! For those whose pets I will be dropping in on to feed or walk, I take great care in making sure instructions are followed, and all the needs of your pets are met! I have an abundance of love to give, so rest assured that they'll get as many scritches as they can handle, and as much fulfillment as I can give while I'm there. I know what it's like to have to leave your fur-family alone, and I'll do everything I can to make this time a positive one for them, and you! I also offer cat boarding, which seems rarely offered. I wanted to offer this because I myself have been in a situation where I've needed this service, and I've never found a place that offers it, and it was absolutely so stressful so try and find a solution! For the kitties that stay with me, I have a completely separate spot in my house that I will have them stay in, since I have kitties of my own. The previous owner of my house actually had this section designed as an in-home salon, so it has a completely separate entrance into my home. As cat owners, we know how sensitive and stressed they can get, and introducing cats to other new cats just adds more unnecessary stress. This separate entrance and room allows for a stress free, safe environment that's large and clean to play and hang in, all to themselves! They will have their own sanitized, fresh litter, litterbox at the ready for them. No need to have to haul your own supplies here! Just bring any food and treats (or any special toys or blankets that you feel might be good things for them to enjoy their stay better, or be more at ease!) Your pets must be fully vaccinated in order to come stay, so please be ready to show proof of up to date vaccinations prior to any boarding bookings. This is for the safety of both your fur babies and mine.
About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds, puppies included, since I was 16. My friends and family have relied on me to stay overnight with their pets for multiple days, take them on walks, feed them, play with them, and spend time with them. I LOVE animals, and care for all of them as if they were my own! I am a full time student at the University of Arizona, but I have many gaps in my schedule throughout the week everyday. I am also available all day on the weekends. When I am in other people's homes, I make sure to leave it exactly how I found it, as I would want someone to respect my home in the same way. Ensuring home security is also very important to me, so I make sure to not share addresses and to lock any doors/gates that need to be locked.

About: I would make a great sitter for you because I genuinely love spending time with all animals ,and I have a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. My passion for animals drives me to create a nurturing and safe environment for them, where they can feel comfortable and happy. I’m Working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time with your animals, but I do work so I would be gone for a couple hours. I’m pretty flexible with times. I also don’t work on holidays It's essential to conduct drop-ins on the dogs they care for to ensure their well-being and comfort. Regular visits play a crucial role in maintaining the dogs' daily routines, which can significantly reduce stress and anxiety for the animals.
About: I have two dogs of my own and have unwavering love for animals. I am also a very active individual so I love to keep this habit in my pet watching skills. I currently am a student only with no job so that leaves me plenty of time to take amazing care of animals. I also am a home body so if I take on your animals, they will be my main commitment and priority. I will follow all respective rules of each home. This will help makes the dogs feel as comfortable and happy in their own home as possible.

“One issue - Stella was wayyyyyy too spoiled! We felt very comfortable with Michelle and she communicated well from the first meet and greet to the week long stay. You can tell she truly loves animals and we will use her again. Thanks for making her feel at home and we also appreciate the fact that there is only one client at a time.”
“Martha was very personable in our arrangement. She sent several messages to let us know how our Gabbi was doing. We've got a real spoiled dog and she wasn't used to being away, but Martha allowed her to sleep with her to keep her calm. That was much appreciated.”
“Jacqueline did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. She provided regular updates with photos and videos of his stay. I was pleased to know he was in safe hands and being cared for. Will use Jacqueline’s services again.”
“Chris was a great dog sitter. Copper had a great time with all the cuddles he got, and Chris sent pictures a couple of times. Would definitely use Chris and his family to watch my dog anytime.”
“Cheryl watched my 13+ year old tri-ped for 2 weeks. He was well taken care of, she recognized when his remaining back leg was too tired for a 2nd walk of the day. Took care with him during thunderstorms. My dog and hers got along well. I absolutely would and will book with her again.”
“Sara and John Patrick took exceptional care of our senior girl. We received regular updates with photos of how she was doing and all of the love she was getting from the family. We are always hesitant to leave her with someone who isn't family, especially as she has gotten older, but we had no concerns after dropping her off. We will highly recommend them to friends and hope to rebook with them when the need arises.”
“Kimberly was very informative from the moment she met Rylee. I appreciate how she sent updates throughout my week long trips. The photos she sent often put me at ease. Kimberly was very patient with Rylee as well. Thank you again for taking care of her!”
“Toni was great and they really made my dog feel comfortable being in a new setting with new experiences. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Great communication and I was so happy she was available on short notice.”
“As any pet owner knows, finding a sitter you can completely trust is like striking gold. It’s not just about a service—it’s about finding someone who genuinely cares for your furry family member. I recently had the incredible good fortune to find Haley, who took amazing care of our dog, Polly. The peace of mind she gave us was invaluable. From the start, Haley was an amazing communicator, providing us with updates that let us know Polly was happy, safe, and loved. You can tell she genuinely cares deeply about every animal she welcomes into her home. Polly was happy and well-adjusted upon her return, which is the best indicator of the loving and attentive environment Haley provides. We are truly beyond grateful for her exceptional care. I highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter. We're already looking forward to Polly's next stay with her in the near future!”
“Jordan’s communication was top notch!!! Jordan was very attentive to my concerns and was flexible with our pick up/drop off schedule. Most importantly, I felt like Willard was in good hands for the short time we were away. Jordan sent texts and pictures of Willard and kept us updated throughout the stay. Jordan is great!! Highly recommended sitter!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Alex and her wonderful family! They took such amazing care of my dog, Rose, and made her feel right at home. It was clear from the start how much love and attention they gave her, and I was so grateful for the updates and photos throughout her stay. Rose came back happy and relaxed, and I know she had a great time. I highly recommend Alex for anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and loving sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!💕🐶”
