“Meeka had a great time staying with Julia and her pups! Communication was excellent, and we received several photos and updates during her stay that were so reassuring. We’ll definitely use Julia again while we’re in the area!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 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!

“Charlotte is the absolute best pet sitter. She was wonderful with our Irish Terrier, Darcy. She took her to the dog park multiple times and sent us texts and pictures to keep us updated which was wonderful. We would absolutely recommend her to watch anyone's 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.

About: I’ve taken care of cats for 15 years! I grew up on a farm with a lot of cats, that required medication administration and special attention. I also have experience caring for a diabetic cat, administering her insulin and checking her blood sugar. Litter boxes are cleaned daily and do not bother me at all. I love all types of cats. From the super cuddly and affectionate ones to the shy and skittish ones!
“Sylvia is TOP NOTCH! She is conscientious, caring, thorough, and communicative. We entrusted her with the care of our four cats while we were out of town. She followed our instructions perfectly and kept us updated with photos and detailed summaries after each visit. Unexpected bonus: she immediately gained the trust and affection of our cat Rambo, who normally runs and hides as soon as he realizes someone who isn’t me, or my significant other, is in the house. If you’re looking for absolute peace of mind while being away from your beloved pets, you’re looking for Sylvia!”


“Working with Amy and Aaron was a wonderful experience. Amy picked up my cats from the airport and housed them overnight when I got stranded in a blizzard. They did it on only a few hours notice, provided exemplary care, and even delivered them to me when I finally arrived in town. I’d use Amy and Aaron again in a heartbeat.”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and I absolutely love them! I’ve worked with kittens, puppy’s, full grown cats, and full grown dogs. I have bigger dogs myself, so I know how to work with them! I am currently a college student, but will be home for the summer. I’d love to make some extra money and I love all pets! I will be able to tend to your pets almost every single day as well as stay for over 30 minutes if needed! I have 4 pets myself (2 cats/2 dogs) and they get alone just fine. I would prefer to not have any extra pets at my house but I would be just fine with helping with your pets at your home!
“Skyler was great with Stacy and easy to coordinate with. He was able to meet with Stacy and I before his first sitting with her, and all went well in his care. I will definitely be reaching out to him again for drop offs and for overnight trips.”

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.
