“Awesome!! Melinda takes such good care of Ozzie. I love all the pictures she sends. I have no worries when I leave Ozzie with her. I can enjoy my trip and know he is having fun and is well taken care of.”

Cathy D.

“I’m very happy with the care that Enola provided for my baby girl. She’s easy to communicate with and took great care of my furry child. Will book again!”

Derek H.

“Emily was amazing. Incredibly flexible and accomodating. Booked her last minute and she made it very smooth and effortless. Our puppy, Frankie, was clearly well cared for and snuggled. She responded quickly to any questions or messages and sent us pictures during our quick trip out of town. She gave us complete peace of mind. Thanks Emily!”

Daniel S.

“Amy and Aaron watched my two dogs over the weekend. I would highly recommend them to anyone and will certainly be using them again. They were very loving, kind, and patient with my dogs. They took the time to really help my 11 month old pup that was struggling being left at someone's house for the first time. They went above and beyond simply meeting each dog's needs. You can tell they are true animal lovers with good hearts. They were very flexible with us regarding pickup and dropoff. They also sent several pictures and updates which I appreciated. Their dog, Bella, was an absolute sweetheart and a perfect playmate.”

Tricia K.

“Tori and Malik were great! The first picture posted let me know Bonnie was very comfortable. They had a beautiful area to walk her and I could tell she was having a great time. So appreciative of their caring and loving feelings toward my Bon! A million thanks.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for over 2 years in our house and in others as well. I have two kids that help to learn responsibility, work ethic, and love! I teach and coach so my availability will vary but I’m available on most weekends, summers, and holidays. I look forward to the opportunity to take care of your babies! I have a very friendly family dog at our fenced in house. I live in a pet friendly area with multiple floors and levels to take care of your fur babies!

About: Looking for an experienced animal sitter or affordable daycare that is flexible? Woof, I am your gal! From 13 years of combined dog training and behavioral training, I may as well be an animal mind reader! My approaches to pet care are holistic and it doesn't get more organic than loving and working with animals. I've also had many years of experience with small animals, fish and reptiles. If you need a small sitter, I'm all yours! MEET & GREET: I do my meet and greets differently than most. I have TWO meet and greets. The first is with owners alone for a tour of my house, going over routines and any additional care and concerns. This is very helpful as exciting dogs barking can be overwhelming. The second meet and greet is at a basic place like a park or OUTSIDE of dog park. My schedule and routine is pretty flexible, yet still manageable and structured. My daycare hours are Mon-Fri from 8AM to 5:30PM, though I can work around your schedule only on those days. Boarding is available 7 days a week during the night with check in times anywhere 2PM to 7PM, checkouts 8AM next day unless specified otherwise (in the event I am unavailable with a week advance notice). Dog walks and dog check-ins are only Saturday evenings, various hours. BITE POLICY: I understand that accidents happen and I am equipped to handle a bite from a dog/cat as well as ensure the safety of animal to animal bites. If your pet bites me, another person or pet, I will immediately contact you with details of the event. I will report ALL bites to Rover. Depending on the situation, someone will need to pick up pet(s) within 6 hours of contact and bite. It is up to Rover to issue a refund depending on circumstances. You MUST book your request through Rover and MUST pay via Rover for them to ensure a refund. I will NOT refund if you have paid via CashApp, check, Venmo, cash, etc. if you are required to pick up your pet(s). If I assess the situation and feel it's risky to board/sit your pet I will decline future requests. NOTE: You MUST book/CONFIRM your requests via ROVER! When you send your requests to me, I will book it and you must confirm via Rover in order for me to watch your pets. Pending request will be denied of service. NOTE: Boarding is charged by the NIGHT. For example, if you request for me to board your pets Jan 8th thru Jan 17th, they MUST be picked up ON the 17th, not the next day on Jan 18th. Please factor in how late you will arrive and if it's the next day you will have to pay for that night. This works just like a hotel stay. You will be charged a $20 fee for each pet if you need to extend stays. NOTE: Please make sure your pets are free from fleas and parasites! Upon meet and greet provide proof of recent medication, vet summaries, and other remedies. I no longer provide daycare services, only boarding, walks, and check ins. I currently have 5 cats and 1 dog. Walking and at home check ins are anywhere from 1-3 hours Sat evenings. I will walk around neighborhood only if a safe and trusted area. I also will care for cat in home visits. All required is specific walking and care instructions.

“Tina and her husband were great! They were available on short notice, able to accommodate my dog’s every need, always took him for enough exercise, and were very responsive to texts and were always sending updates and pics! 5 stars! Already booked again!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets here and there for many years. My family has always had a cat or 2. I love dog walking and checking in on animals! I work M-F 8-4:30, 8-12 on wednesdays. I’m off on weekends. I do not have any children, so I’m available pretty much whenever outside of work! I have a yard that is not fenced in (yet). My neighbors are very friendly and also have pets. Pets allowed inside the house also.

About: Animal Science major who has been apart of a household with pets most of my life. I have experience with dogs of all ages, shapes and sizes along with enrichment training, fostering, pet sitting, walking and more. I've dealt with emergency scenarios with my own pets and will care for yours as if it was my own. I love all the pets and am always excited to meet more! I am currently only working under contracts and my schedule is currently very open. I am used to walking and caring for pets. Caring for pets fits in right along with my regular routine! I have a lard fenced in yard along with two friendly dogs. One is 7 year old male who is lazy and loves everyone, the other is a 1 year old border collie mix who's loves to play! Capable of keeping them separate when necessary or unsupervised. Very customizable to your pets wants and needs! I will put your pets first and make sure they have the best experience possible.

About: I have been pet sitting for neighbors and family friends over the summer for years now. I love pets of all sizes and breeds and I’ll treat them like my own. I am home for the summer looking for a way to make money for school and what better way than being surrounded by the cutest fur babies! I have morning and midday availability throughout the week, but I am available on Sunday mornings or Mondays. I work nights for a prospect league baseball team while I’m home but aside from that my top priority will be your companions! I have two sweet pups of my own that I take for walks, feed, and cuddle with. I am willing to do lots of services and will keep them entertained.

“Beth was great checking on my cats while we were gone! When she came to meet them you can tell she absolutely loves animals! She sent pictures and updates very quickly!”

Samantha M.

“Klee did a fantastic job feeding our cats. We loved seeing all the pictures she sent. Klee is the only person that Pistol, our cat, actually visited. Previously, every time we’ve had someone feeding Pistol, he hid from them. We will definitely book her in the future.”

About: I’ve always lived with pets since I was 5 years old. Friends and family come to me when it comes to animal care taking here! I work at an elementary school and follow their schedule. But I love to hangout and play with your adorable furry pups! I enjoy every second I can get with any animal 😊 I will care for your pets to your preference and I can always add in extra time with them when needed. There is no limit when it comes to caring for your dog or cat.

About: I've had cats and dogs most of my life. Recently, I only have a kitten at home currently, but I've cared for all ages and sometimes even special needs animals. I have my kitten on a timed eating schedule with wet food to help her get all the nutrients she needs. She also has toys for stimulation, and I play with her daily to increase her stamina and decrease pet depression. For cats, I keep them indoors and make sure they have enough stimulation in their environment. For dogs, it would depend on the weather, the backyard setup, and the specific care that each different individual animal may need.

About: I have had cats all my life growing up! It is one of the one animals always around in our house or outside. I am very in tune with what a cats body language means and how to care for them. And yes- I can change a litter box and serve wet food! The smells do not bother me one bit.

About: What sets me apart as a cat sitter is my patience, calm personality, and understanding that cats need trust, comfort, and consistency to feel safe. I respect each cat’s unique personality — whether they’re playful and social, shy and cautious, independent, elderly, or anxious when their owner is away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, eating habits, litter box habits, and overall comfort to help cats stay relaxed and stress-free in their familiar environment. I know that even small changes in behavior can matter, so I’m very observant and attentive. I also have experience with: Senior cat care and gentle handling Kittens and younger cats needing extra supervision and play Shy, anxious, or slow-to-warm-up cats Feeding schedules and medication reminders Interactive playtime and enrichment Maintaining clean litter boxes and tidy living spaces Providing regular photo/video updates for peace of mind What truly makes me different is that I don’t just “check in” on pets — I focus on building trust and making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m dependable, communicative, compassionate, and committed to treating every cat like family.

About: I have 3 very different cats. I have a 5 year old grey tabby who is quite a character she is the alpha of this house until a stranger comes in no matter if it’s a stranger animal or person she will hide until she thinks it’s safe and is very cautious outside staying by her brother’s side if she is unsure of something. My second cat showed up on my door late at night she is a beautiful cat she is a diluted tortie but really she’s a blonde through and through I think she must be on her 8th life by now she does not make smart choices she likely wouldn’t survive a day without her humans. My last cat he is very independent if it was up to him he’d live outside always but only if it never rained or snowed. He keeps the rodent population down in the area and keeps his sister from getting in fights protecting her since he is a bigger cat but he comes home every night to sleep with his mama no matter how much he enjoys going outside he knows one MEOOOOOOOW by the door will get him outside. So in summary I have experience with indoor, indoor-outdoor and outdoor cats. And my cats eat a bit of kibble and smalls which is a frozen fresh food so I won’t mind meeting your cats special food needs because dogs are not the only ones who deserve human grade food.

“There are no words to describe how lovely Melinda is. So kind, helpful, loving and playful with our puppy. She provided him an excellent exercise and care session after a day of travel. We feel like we’ve found “family” and we just met her! If you need help with a pet and she’s available, it will be the best choice ever, seriously. We are so grateful and pleased.”

I can train dogs, any type of training you can think of. And you can ensure this place as a safe haven for your furry friend while here at the Hilton! 😝 I’m currently working at UPS as a seasonal support delivery driver. But it’s only temporary until after the new year. I do work Monday-Saturday right now but i leave my house around 9:30-10 and am always home by 3:00 p.m. But while im gone there will always be another person here to watch after your dog, i.e., my dad, or my mom. I have a big fenced in yard. It is an 8 ft chain link fence so they will get plenty of exercise. I have 2 dogs that can keep your furry friend company! But if you’re dog isn’t really into other dogs, I do have a seperate area that’s just as big and also fenced in with an 8 ft Chain link fence all around! So they could either be with my dogs or seperate from my dogs!

About: I have babysit my family and friends fur babies over night for several years now . I enjoy spending the time with them and enjoy taking them on long walks and having play time with them. I have four dogs of my own that I take care of. I work for amazon right now monday thru thursday. Iam opened to helping out with customers pets friday tru sunday. I feed and water my dogs everyday, plus play with them to. If its a nice out i let my dogs choose if they want to stay outside or not until i get home from work, but they are inside on nasty days. They do come in at night and sleep with us. I give them their owns baths and trim their own nails. At the clients home I take their dog outside on a nice day to play and take their dogs on a walk. Before I would leave the clients home, I would make sure that their fur babies would have water and food . When we are on walks I make sure I carry water with me for their fur babies.

About: What sets me apart is the level of genuine care, patience, and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a different personality, comfort level, routine, and emotional need, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, loving environment where pets feel secure while their owners are away. I’m especially good with anxious, shy, high-energy, and routine-oriented pets because I’m very observant, patient, and consistent. I pay close attention to behavior changes, body language, eating habits, medication schedules, and overall comfort to make sure pets stay happy and stress-free. I also have experience with: Senior pet care and slower-paced walks Puppies and younger pets who need patience, structure, and consistency Maintaining feeding schedules and routines Providing companionship, playtime, and emotional comfort Keeping homes clean, organized, and safe during stays Giving regular photo/video updates so owners feel reassured People describe me as dependable, calm under pressure, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who is not only responsible, but genuinely caring and attentive. My goal is always to make both pets and owners feel comfortable, safe, and confident. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day and week for walks, drop-ins, boarding, feeding schedules, playtime, companionship, and overnight care when needed. Since I’m home often, pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, consistency, and care rather than being left alone for long periods. I enjoy creating a calm, comfortable environment where pets can feel safe, relaxed, and part of the household routine. I’m also dependable with maintaining routines such as feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, medications, and regular updates for owners. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make sure each pet gets individualized attention, patience, affection, and proper care based on their needs and personality. I provide a calm, safe, and structured environment where pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, supervision, and affection. Since I live on a farm with open space and a peaceful setting, pets have room to enjoy fresh air, walks, playtime, and a lower-stress environment while still being safely supervised at all times. In my home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications, rest time, and any special instructions from the owner. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort needs so they feel secure and cared for while away from home. For walks and activity, I adjust based on the pet’s age, health, and temperament — whether that means active play for energetic dogs, slower walks for senior pets, or extra patience with anxious animals. Safety is always my top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. I make sure pets receive reliable care, companionship, exercise, fresh food and water, clean-up, and lots of attention while helping maintain a calm, clean environment. I also provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. What’s most important to me is making pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for no matter where they are.

About: My house is full of love and my dogs will surely keep your pets entertained they are friendly with almost everyone and the indoor and indoor/outdoor cats have been around many dogs and other animals with no problems in addition the rodents and birds areas can be closed off so your pet has no experience with those animals to keep all pets happy and healthy. I grew up on a farm so I have experience with cows, goats, rabbits, geese, ducks, chickens, guinea pigs, hamsters, dogs and cats. When I turned 17 I started my zoo as my father calls it, I have 11 animals. I started with a simple one cat and one dog. In 2023 I increased the number from 2 pets to 5 getting a Chinchilla and two cats one showing up at my front door and another surrendered to me after I friend couldn’t care for him anymore. Then in the beginning of 2025 another friend moved and couldn’t bring her birds so we took in 3 parakeets which they do better in pairs so we bought one to make it 4 and then a couple months later we were finally able to find a second chinchilla so that nether was lonely because they are also better in pairs also. Lastly number 11 I had been thinking about for awhile I always wanted a lot of dogs being a big dog person so my 11th pet we got at the beginning of 2026 she is a 6 month old border collie. I currently work part-time in the evenings so I’m free every morning and all weekend depending on the weekend. I can also be available any day by request but my days off are always Sunday, Monday, Friday, Saturday. I live in a rural area with a large space for dogs to play we have a 5 year old small medium pit-terrier mix and a 6 month old border collie. I also have a variety of pets so I have knowledge on how to care for birds, rodents, fish, cats and of course dogs large and small.
