Big thanks!! 5 STARS!!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10 years old, including family pet care, professional pet care and personal pet care. I am experienced in dog walking, dog boarding, in home pet sitting and diabetic pets/sick pets. I have reliable transportation and am available at all times to give your pet the care they need! I am committed to being available at all times including weekends and evenings. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, so it doesn’t feel like a task, it’s something I intentionally build into my schedule to make sure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I care for pets as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their individual routines, personalities, and needs, whether they’re in my home or a client’s home. This includes making sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of affection and attention. I love animals, so I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, playing, going for walks, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and health, and I follow any specific instructions the owner provides to ensure their pet feels happy and well cared for while they’re away. As a diabetic dog owner myself I am committed to giving your pet the best care I can!
“Catherine was great! Loved getting pictures of the love Maxie, our pup, was getting at her new second home. I wish my dog could talk, but I’m certain by her behavior and happiness she wants to go back to Catherine and her pups! Will be using her again in the future without a doubt!!”
“Hands down the best cat sitter I’ve ever used, five stars, ten out of ten. She kept my little baby happy and spoiled while I was gone, sent adorable photo updates every single day without me even asking, and everything felt so easy and stress-free. Seriously, if you’re looking for someone who actually cares about your cat like it’s her own, she’s the one. Book her now, you won’t regret it!!!”
“Chloe was awesome with my pup Angus. She provided excellent services and communication throughout the sitting period. I will definitely be using her for future sittings! Thank you Chloe!”

“Lindsey is AMAZING! She kept our 1 year old puppy while we were on vacation. It was our first time as puppy parents that we had left our dog, and we were understandably anxious about being away from her. Lindsey put us at ease. She cared for our dog as if she were her own and kept us consistently updated with photos and messages. Our dog was able to play and interact with Lindsey’s dogs, which our dog thoroughly enjoyed. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our dog or for us. Knowing that our dog was in good hands while we were away helped to ease our anxiety and allowed us to enjoy our vacation to the fullest. I highly recommend Lindsey and will definitely be seeking her out anytime I need a dog sitter in the future. She is a true dog lover and is absolutely wonderful.”

“Tiffany did a great job visiting Bootsy while we were out of town. Everything went as expected and she makes a real effort to interact with the cat. Will absolutely use again!”
“Anthony took incredible care of our cats and our home while we were away. He went above and beyond in every possible way — keeping everything clean, making sure the cats were happy and comfortable, and even taking care of thoughtful extra details around the house. It was obvious how much he genuinely cared for Rogelio and Octavio, and we were able to fully relax on our trip because of it. We came home to very happy cats and a spotless home. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust him again in the future!”
About: Hello fellow cat lovers, First let’s be real, when you have a cat, you don’t own them, you are their servant. My four cats remind me everyday. As soon as 5:30 am hits, they all let me know it’s feeding time. As soon as I walk through the door. I have 4 seconds to drop my stuff and feed them, or I will be yelled at. I can’t afford another negative yelp review for taking more than 4 seconds. But jokes aside I care deeply about the well being of my cats. I’m checking teeth, their coats, paw pads, check for any changes in poops, or behavior. My cats eat a well balanced diet and have different dietary needs. I also take care of one community cat. She comes and sleeps on my back deck, brings me dead mice (my favorite) and always wants to be pet. That is my everyday with cats and I love every minute of it. I would love to get to know your cats and gain their trust!
“Kathleen went above and beyond to make sure she gave my cat his injections. He was difficult but she was a trooper and got the job done. I very much appreciate all her hard work. I would highly recommend her.”
“Watched my two cats for three days while I was on vacation. They’re usually pretty shy with new people but they loved her! Will definitely be asking her to watch them again in the future.”
About: I've had hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats for many years and truly love spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it's feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, administering basic care, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection, I'm committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and my goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Gabrielle went above and beyond to make sure that my three cats were happy and comfortable while I was gone. I will definitely call on her again to care for my furry family.”
“Draven was fantastic with our Goldendoodle during her drop-in visits. Her communication was on point, and she even noticed that we had accidentally locked our cat in the bedroom. Thankfully, she let him out and made sure everything was okay. We’re so grateful for the care she gave our sweet boy. Highly recommend Draven to anyone needing drop-in care for their pets!”
About: I’ve cared for cats for many years and have always been the go-to person for friends, family, and neighbors needing help with their pets.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and rescuer of dogs. Life is not complete without a dog to snuggle up with at the end of the day.

I have a large fenced yard and 3 of my own rescue fur babies that get along with other dogs fabulously. I can do drop in visits at your home also. I love walking and staying active so walking your dogs will be a treat for me.
About: I've worked in animal rescue for many years and fostered both cats and dogs for over 15. So even the spicy ones I adore and they seem to connect with me as well. I am comfortable giving meds, doing brushing/nail trims for those that will cooperate, and giving them lots of love and attention! For work, I set my schedule for the most part, so I am very flexible and can come by in the daytime and or evenings. Very adaptable and willing to work out a schedule that works for you!
“McKenzie is always there when we need her, even when things come up unexpectedly, like our flight getting cancelled the night we were supposed to be home. She takes such good care of our girl and gives us peace of mind. We always know she is in great hands. Thank you for being so wonderful, McKenzie!”
About: I have experience working at a doggy daycare that also boarded cats, where caring for the feline guests quickly became my favorite part of the job. I enjoyed engaging cats through play, enrichment, and individualized attention while ensuring they felt comfortable and secure during their stay. I am confident in reading feline body language and understand the importance of respecting each cat's unique personality and boundaries. As a cat owner myself, I am passionate about providing reliable, attentive care and treating every cat as if they were my own.
About: Shhhhh don't tell the doggos, but I've always had a soft spot for the felines! I often feel like cats get ignored or dismissed in the pet industry, and that upsets me greatly! I've never met a kitty I didn't insta-ADORE, so if you're a cat-person and you've been having trouble finding a cat-person to watch your kitties, I am definitely your gal! I've had cats of my own since our apartment would allow pets, and we currently have 3 at our rural household. I know every cat has their own personality, and every cat deserves to be approached and treated according to that personality. Cats are not aloof... they are discerning!!

About: About Me: Growing up on a farm, I’ve nurtured a lifelong passion for animal care, tending to dogs, cattle, horses, and goats. Instilled with a deep sense of responsibility from a young age, I learned that our animals’ needs come first—feeding and watering them was my dawn ritual. Professional Background: My 18-year tenure as a Paramedic wasn’t just about helping people; it often involved interacting with pets, from the friendly to the feisty. This has equipped me with the skills to handle any situation calmly and ensure a positive outcome. Additionally, my training in K9 first aid as a tactical medic has honed my ability to care for police service dogs in critical situations. My Approach: I bring a calm and collected presence that resonates well with animals, making it easy to bond with new furry friends. I understand the anxiety of leaving pets behind, so I’m here to alleviate your stress. With professionalism and respect, I’ll ensure your pets feel loved and secure in your absence. Personal Touch: At home, I’m a proud pet parent to Archie and Luna, two spirited dogs who love their playtime and are experts at keeping our backyard squirrel-free. They’ve taught me the joy of active companionship and the comfort of quiet snuggles. Thank you for considering me to care for your beloved pets. I’m excited about the opportunity to meet your furry family members and provide them with the same love and attention I give my own. Flexibility for Your Furry Family : My schedule is incredibly flexible, and my primary goal is to ensure quality time for your beloved pets! 🐾❤️ Additionally, I am committed to keeping my availability up-to-date to prevent any scheduling errors. You can rely on me to be punctual and attentive to your pet’s needs. 🕒🐶 Tailored Care for Your Furry Family : As a dedicated pet caregiver, I understand that every furry friend has unique needs. Whether your dog prefers leisurely lounge time or craves energetic walks and ball games, I tailor my care to match their individual requirements. But it doesn’t stop there—I’m also vigilant about weather conditions. I know when it’s too hot or cold for your dog’s comfort, and I adjust activities accordingly to ensure their safety. And speaking of safety, my biggest pet peeve is water. Clean, fresh hydration is essential for your beloved companions, and I make sure they have access to it at all times. Of course, let’s not overlook the importance of a well-balanced meal! 🐾🌟

“This is like a second home for Zion. He's receiving the attention from Kathleen, her dogs and the freedom to run and play in her home, as well as her fenced in back yard which we don't have at our home. We're hoping to extend Zion's one-day stay to many overnight stays that will help fit our traveling and working schedule.”

“My two small Chihuahua mixes absolutely love their time at Mike and Sharon's! We use them mainly for daycare and they usually always have a couple small puppy friends there, so they are exhausted and sleep all night when they get home! We have used them for boarding too and have nothing but praise. If you need a sitter or lower stimulation doggy daycare, Sharon's your girl!”
“Aside from being great with our dogs, I have to compliment Grant on his communication. He responded to all of my messages promptly and professionally and kept me in the loop during my 2 dogs stay. It really helped put me at ease about their first stay. My dogs came home calm and tired which tells me they had a great fun time with him. Thanks, Grant!”
“Jacqueline was amazing! She accommodated our very last minute booking and gave great care to Bella. Jacqueline communicated well with us and made my first Rover experience awesome! We will definitely utilize Jacqueline again!”
“Got it! Here's the updated version: It was our dog's first time staying in another place, and he's usually a bit anxious. But he had a really good time with Stevie and came back tired and happy. We're very grateful!”
“Naji and her two dogs were awesome! My puppy came home happy and exhausted from all the fun! Naji was very sweet sending me cute videos and photos throughout the day. You can tell she truly loves having your fur babies around! We already booked doggy daycare for October! Highly recommend Naji!”

About: I had a dog a few years ago when I was young but unfortunately we had to let him go. My love for animals has always been strong and over the years I have regularly cared for friends’ and family’s dogs during that time, including both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. While I have limited experience with cats, I’m open to caring for them and excited to learn more if given the opportunity. I work a part-time job and work only 2-3 days a week so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, so I can accommodate a variety of needs, including extended stays or last-minute bookings. I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with a big fenced yard. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I absolutely love animals and will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and has a sweet, stress-free time while in my care.
About: I recently retired from the Navy and now live with my wife on 9 peaceful acres, just about a mile and a half off Highway 50 near Powell Gardens. It’s just the two of us here—no kids, no pets at the moment, aside from two laid-back turtles. We’ve had dogs in the past and loved every minute, but after moving frequently, we decided to hold off for now. That said, we’d love to show care and attention to your dog as if they were our own. Since I’m fully retired, I’m home throughout the day. I usually go for a daily walk for exercise, which works perfectly if your pup enjoys a good stroll. Our ranch-style home has pet-friendly vinyl floors and tons of open space to explore. While we don’t have a fenced yard, there’s plenty of room to roam—just let me know if your dog needs to stay on a leash and I’ll make sure to accommodate that. A Quick Note About Your Dog Please feel free to share any special needs, preferences, or routines your dog might have. And of course, if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m genuinely excited to meet your doggo! I am fully retired so I can be home all day. Typically, I exercise with a walk so that would work with the dog as well. I have a large ranch style home with pet friendly vinyl floors. In plenty of land for dogs to run around I do not have a fenced in area so if your dog needs to be on a leash that is fine I just need to know.

About: I have a genuine love for animals and take great pride in providing reliable, caring pet-sitting services. Having grown up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from household pets to livestock. This background has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I attend school online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to travel for pet-sitting jobs and even stay overnight when needed, as long as there’s Wi-Fi so I can keep up with my classes. Since I’m currently applying for more jobs, my availability is open and adaptable, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets whenever I’m needed. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible so the pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also take time to clean up after them, whether that’s refreshing litter boxes, wiping paws, or tidying up their spaces. If I’m staying overnight, I make sure the home stays neat and the pets get extra attention and companionship. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and loving environment while keeping the owner’s home just as they left it.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. My family frequently took in rescue pitbulls, so from a young age I learned how to train even the most stubborn animals. I began pet sitting for family/friends as a teenager. Many of the animals I took care of during this time were seniors, so I got quite a bit of experience in senior dog care. During college, I brought home a very energetic and very stubborn Cane Corso. I hired a professional trainer and learned many important tips on top of my already existing knowledge about dog training, which came in handy when I got a second corso. Throughout my life I’ve gained experience training puppies, taking care of senior pets, and caring for pets with diabetes and other chronic conditions. I’m currently PRN at my other job, so I can work my other job completely around the needs of your pet and what they’ll need while in my care. I have a fenced in yard and two bigger pups that are incredibly friendly and love having new dogs to play with. I also have a two year old daughter who is obsessed with animals, so needless to say your pet will not be spared any attention while in our home. Even if you’re not looking to board your pup, I have full availability to take care of your pet in the comfort of their own environment, and am willing to stop by as often as needed to make sure your pup gets all the care and attention needed while you’re away.

“Lindsey is AMAZING! She kept our 1 year old puppy while we were on vacation. It was our first time as puppy parents that we had left our dog, and we were understandably anxious about being away from her. Lindsey put us at ease. She cared for our dog as if she were her own and kept us consistently updated with photos and messages. Our dog was able to play and interact with Lindsey’s dogs, which our dog thoroughly enjoyed. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our dog or for us. Knowing that our dog was in good hands while we were away helped to ease our anxiety and allowed us to enjoy our vacation to the fullest. I highly recommend Lindsey and will definitely be seeking her out anytime I need a dog sitter in the future. She is a true dog lover and is absolutely wonderful.”

About: I've had hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats for many years and truly love spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved.

My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and most holidays. Because I currently care for my three cats every day, I understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection.

Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, a walk, or extended care, I'm happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.

I believe in providing a calm, positive environment where pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away.

“Our Remi had the best time with Sylveena and her family. We received so many pictures, updates and notes throughout the days we were gone, it was so appreciated. She even kept a mindful watch over her time outside due to the intense heat we’re experiencing. It’s obvious that Sylveena loves animals and we are so happy to have found her!”
“Gail was very accommodating for my two dogs. She sent daily updates and pictures to put me at ease. My older dog Marble has anxiety and I knew she would take a few days to settle down. Gail assured me that she was doing ok. Ginger is a puppy and very high maintenance. I am glad she made friends to play with.”
