About: Hi! I'm an experienced animal caregiver with over three years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as livestock. Working with a variety of animals has taught me how important patience, consistency, and careful observation are when it comes to providing excellent care. I pay close attention to each animal's behavior, appetite, energy levels, and routines so I can quickly notice when something seems different or needs attention. Caring for animals is a daily part of my life. Every day I care for my own animals, so I am used to maintaining feeding schedules, monitoring health and behavior, and making sure animals are safe and comfortable. Because animal care is already a priority in my routine, I can easily incorporate visits, walks, playtime, and check-ins for clients' pets throughout the week. I enjoy building trust with animals and providing reliable care that helps owners feel at ease while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding instructions, ensure fresh water is always available, provide exercise and playtime, clean litter boxes or pick up waste, and give plenty of attention and companionship. I also closely monitor each pet's behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive individualized attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure they have a comfortable space to rest and follow any specific instructions provided by their owners regarding feeding, medications, routines, or special needs.
“Miss Lauren was professional and provided excellent care from the first message to her first time spent with Owen. She came to meet us first so she could learn more about Owen and the things to make their time together go smoothly. I appreciate the care Miss Lauren provided and was so helpful to ensure Owen was comfortable with her. I look forward to having her watch Owen again.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and grew up caring for them daily. I’ve raised a puppy and currently have a well-trained dog of my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to calm seniors. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m currently working part-time but am available most days during the week and can be flexible with scheduling as needed for pet care and walks. I prioritize safety and trust in every visit. I follow owner instructions closely, keep dogs on-leash during walks, avoid unsafe situations, and ensure pets are never left unattended. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain cleanliness, and make sure pets are comfortable, secure, and cared for the entire time.
About: As a pet caregiver, my experience has been both challenging and incredibly rewarding. I have had the pleasure of working with a variety of pets, including cats and dogs and even rabbits. Each pet has its own unique personality and needs, and I make sure to tailor my care to suit each individual animal. From feeding and grooming to providing exercise and playtime, I take pride in providing the highest level of care to ensure that the pets are healthy and happy. One of the most rewarding aspects of my pet care experience is seeing the joy on the pets' faces and the bond that we form over time. I truly believe that pets bring so much love and happiness into our lives, and it is an honor to be able to give back to them through my work. I make sure to follow the pet owner's instructions carefully, so that the pets receive the same level of care and attention they are accustomed to. I love spending time with the pets, playing and cuddling with them, and making sure they feel loved and secure. Seeing the pets happy and healthy when their owners return home is the best reward for a job well done. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I’m already very organized and used to working around animal care schedules. I’m able to provide consistent morning, evening, and check-in visits, and I’m flexible with timing when needed. I plan my week in advance so I can reliably accommodate bookings while still giving each pet my full attention. Since caring for animals is already part of my everyday life, I’m comfortable balancing multiple visits and making sure each pet gets the time, care, and consistency they need. n clients’ homes, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding instructions, stick to their usual schedules, and make sure they always have fresh water, clean litter boxes (for cats), and a tidy environment. I also spend time with them based on their personality—whether that’s playtime, enrichment, or just calm companionship so they feel safe and not alone. I pay close attention to behavior and overall well-being during each visit, and I make sure the home is respected and left just as I found it. My goal is always to reduce stress for both the pet and the owner by providing consistent, attentive care in their familiar environment.

“Adela was awesome! She took great care of my dog Ellie for a few days. She was extremely welcoming and answered any questions I had prior to Ellie’s stay.Her communication skills were on point as well. She put my mind at ease each day by sending updates and lots of pictures :) I think it’s safe to say that my dog really enjoyed her stay. We will def book again with her in the future.”
“Such an amazing dog sitter! Leah helped watch Obie for the week we were out of town and helped him whether a snow storm while communicating with us the whole time. Sent pictures and updates regularly and very responsive to messages. Thank you so much and will definitely ask her to help with Obie if we need to go out of town again!”
“Excellent pet sitter! She boarded our puppy for two nights and took great care of her. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and well-loved. Great communication and a caring environment. Highly recommend!”
“Katie is an awesome sitter! We left our 10 month old puppy with her while he was recovering from being neutered and she took excellent care of him. Followed all his care instructions and sent us update pictures. She was quick to respond to all of our messages and very nice. We loved that she was close to home and when we picked up scooter early she was very accommodating. We will for sure use Katie again and we’re relieved we have found a safe place for our puppy scooter when we are traveling 🙂”
“Carmine and Penelope LOVE going to stay with Linda and Dwight! They go bananas when we arrive and run right into the house like they live there. We are forever grateful to have found such kind and compassionate people. Thank you!”
“My puppy had so much with Laura. She sent pictures and updates every day. Laura responds very quickly to inquiries both before and during boarding. I have already booked another stay a few weeks from now. Very pleased with my first time using a dog sitter.”
“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”
“Cynthia and Robert were amazing! We left our dog with them for an extended vacation. My dog had a lot of anxiety and was very nervous. They spent a ton of time helping my dog settle and feel at home. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you Sarah for taking care of our Pepper! She had plenty of room for herself, and plenty of room to play with the other pups! She seemed to enjoy herself from the pictures I received while staying with Sarah! I will definitely use her the next time we need a pup sitter!”
“Highly recommend using Tami to care for your pet! I was nervous leaving my dog with someone for the first time but she made me feel at ease and took great care of my dog! She sent me pictures and texts to ensure me my dog was doing great!”
“Raven made sure my dog and cat were happy and cared for during our vacation, and I felt so comfortable knowing they were in her hands! We got pictures and updates, and I would have no hesitation boarding them with Raven again”
“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”
“Jacob is a wonderful pet sitter. He took care of my two cats and kept me updated with pics and notes about how they were doing. One of my cats’ had trouble adjusting but he encouraged her everyday to come out of her safe place. She finally came out on the last day. So I will definitely use him again. By the way he took my cats in an emergency situation and contacted me right away. Thank you to Rover, but mostly a huge shout out and thank you to Jacob.”
“Chelsea was amazing with Duece. Didn't have any issues with drop off times and pick up. No issues what so ever and will be using Chelsea going forward. She sent videos and updates which I really appreciate. Very reliable and a very nice person in general.”
