“Amazing experience with boarding our pups with Alex and Sarah! It was the first time boarding our fur babies so we had questions about the process. They were very responsive and provided all the information quickly and thoroughly. We appreciated the frequent updates/photos and videos while we were away. It was a great feeling to know our dogs were in such great care. Highly recommend!”
“Keeley and Ethan cared for our golden retriever puppy for a week. It was a last minute request and they responded quickly. They have a great size fenced yard. We hope they can watch him in the future. Open communication and pictures of him while we were gone. They took great care of Clyde and we would highly recommend them to anyone.”
“Sarah and Jason did a great job. First time using Rover and they made the process so easy and reassuring. Sent me pictures of my fur baby during my trip away. Will definitely be using again❤️”
“Allyson and her family were great! She was awesome about sending updates and helping us relax while we were out of town. Our dog seemed sad to leave, he had such a great time. We will definitely be re-booking and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Kelly was fantastic and we will definitely ask her to watch our dog again in the future. She took great care of our pup and sent lots of pictures and videos during the stay. Thank you Kelly!”
“Susan was great with Luka! And Luka loved playing with her dog. I got lots of pictures and updates during Luka's stay. Susan communicated very well, and I know she took great care of Luka. I will definitely book with her again if we need someone to watch Luka.”
“Torey did such an amazing job watching my dog, Lily. Lily is 12 years old and has never been boarded with anyone but family. Torey instantly put us at ease about leaving her for the weekend. Lily came home happy and yet excited to see us. Torey also went over and above by offering to watch my sister's dog last minute. Lola has anxiety issues and also came home happy. What a wonderful experience with Torey! I have already booked for another trip next month! Beth”
“Watson seemed to have a good time with Ryne and was well taken care of. He was healthy and happy when we picked him up. He had his own room with TV and small couch. Ryne sent pictures during his stay which was greatly appreciated.”
“This was my first time boarding Henry with Melissa and it was a great experience. She was so accommodating and loving of Henry. She’s definitely an animal lover. Great communication with me as well. She sent me updates and pictures daily. Henry had lots of playtime and love. I will definitely be having her take care of Henry again!”
“Cheryl is amazing! I was traveling from out of town and my dog can be slow to warm up but Cheryl made it very comforting and is great at communicating. She has two dogs who are fun sweeties! I would highly recommend and even return again. She’s is a dog person and makes her own dog treats, very caring pet owner/caretaker!”
“Our dog had a wonderful time with Danielle and her family over the Christmas holiday! She made him feel right at home ☺️ We would be happy to have him stay there again in the future!!”
“Thank you for taking care of our pet during the Christmas break. It’s so good to have a sitter who cares for her like we do and be able to take a worry-free family vacation. Happy New year!!”
“We have been boarding our two dogs with Patricia and her family for just over a year now. We are so happy to have someone we trust watching our fur babies! Patricia understands our dogs’ different needs and preferences (one is a Velcro dog and one likes to hide), and she provides them with what they need. They are always happy to go to her house, and they always look happy in the daily pictures! Thank you for another great stay!”
“Saryna was great with my old Yorkshire Terrior Vinnie. He's a very old anxious dog but he made himself right at home. Sarina was great making sure Vinnie got his heart medicine and he made new friends. I do believe he enjoyed his stay. Thanks so much Saryna!”

“We’ve used Alyssa several times for our cats and she is the BEST! She is so caring, responsive, and willing to help if anything arises. She goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her!!”
“Gabrielle was absolutely perfect in looking after our 4 cats while we were away. Right before leaving, our youngest cat had some sort of upset stomach. While it quickly resolved and allowed us to carry out our travel plans, Gabrielle was quick to put our minds at ease by keeping us informed of the cat’s eating habits. She also went above and beyond to make sure our more timid cat - who hides from strangers - got her food while hiding behind the washing machine. This timid cat even began to hide less often during Gabrielle’s time stopping in. We returned home to 4 very happy cats. No question Gabrielle is top notch and will put your mind at ease during travel!”
About: I've cared for cats for friends, family, and my own pets, and I understand that every cat has a different personality and routine. I'm comfortable feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, giving plenty of playtime, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a Certified Nursing Assistant, I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to details, so I'll carefully follow your cat's routine and keep you updated with photos and messages during each visit.
“Brittany is an exceptional pet sitter. She took wonderful care of my cat and did an excellent job in every way. She was kind, attentive, reliable, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She truly went above and beyond by sending me pictures of my cat, which gave me so much peace of mind and showed how much she cared. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them with love and patience. I am very grateful for the care she provided, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
About: I grew up with animals, so I am comfortable around and am experienced with them. I also frequently dog and cat sit for friends and acquaintances! I work part time, so I have plenty of time to give animals the time and love they need! I also am flexible with schedule. I offer dog walking and services only at client's home, but I am careful, trustworthy, and will follow instructions well. I will accommodate to whatever you and your pet needs!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and experience with pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience training puppies with basic commands and crate training, as well as providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets who may need medication, extra patience, or mobility support. I’m also highly reliable and communicative I always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so they feel connected and reassured while they're away. My calm, friendly approach helps pets feel safe and at ease, whether it’s their first time with a sitter or they need special care. I treat every animal like they’re my own, and that personal connection makes all the difference. Pet care fits into my daily routine as a consistent and rewarding responsibility. Every morning starts with feeding my dog and taking him for a quick walk to get some energy out before the day begins. In the evenings, I usually spend about 30 minutes either going on a longer walk or playing fetch at the park. On weekends, I make time for grooming like brushing his fur or giving him a bath if needed and sometimes schedule vet checkups or pick up new toys or treats. It’s a routine that keeps me grounded, and it’s always nice to end the day with a loyal companion by my side. When caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and consistent environment. For dogs, I ensure they have regular feeding times, fresh water, daily walks, and playtime to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I also follow any specific instructions the client provides, such as administering medications or adhering to training routines. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s regular schedule to reduce stress from their owner's absence. I clean up after the pet, monitor behavior for signs of illness or anxiety, and send updates (with photos) to the owner for peace of mind. Whether it’s overnight care, walking, or short visits, my goal is to make each pet feel safe and loved while their owner is away.
About: I’ve had cats of my own for over 5yrs and rehabilitated one of them! I’ve studied cat body language and know how to maximize their hydration since most of them don’t drink water on their own :D I’ll respect your cats’ space but give it love if it’s wanting it and will make sure they are as comfortable as possible!

“Ryne was nothing short of amazing with Maizey. I definitely would recommend him for all of your dog needs! He’s attentive to the dog and the human’s needs, and I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received. From our first interaction, he was friendly, professional, and you could tell that he is genuinely passionate about animals. He took the time to get to know my dog’s routine and personality, which made me feel confident leaving my sweet Maizey in his care.”
“Mark did a great job taking care of our dog Boo. Boo was always excited to see Mark when we dropped him off for daycare. Mark sent several pictures every day, which we loved seeing. We will definitely use Mark again.”

About: I grew up on a farm so taking care of animals is what I have done my whole life. I am good with all age ranges from the younger ones full of energy to the seniors that enjoy their own space. I currently watch my friend’s dogs and check in on their cats. I travel for work but when I’m home can work from anywhere! I travel for work but when I’m home can work from wherever. I have a fenced in yard for easy potty breaks and also go for walks around the neighborhood. I have a very friendly Jack Russell Terrier who LOVES all other dogs no matter the size as well as cats. My apartment has its own private fenced in yard. The inside is big enough to kennel as needed or let them have their own space if they prefer. I have 2 dog parks in my apartment with one being decided to small dogs only.
About: Your pup must be respectful of cats please. I completely understand curiosity, just not stalking or chasing. I took so much care of our lab when she was 15 and had Cushings. I definitely have a sweet spot for senior pets. She has since crossed the 🌈. Max is our 5 yr old Husky/Lab mix and he's our sweet big boy. We have love for big and small dogs! We have a huge grassy 6 and 4 ft fenced in yard (we connected to our neighbors 4 ft fence - see pictures) and Max would seriously love a friend to play with or just chill with.

About: I think what sets me apart from other pet sitters is that I am a very active and attentive person. I love spending quality time and really enjoy keeping myself busy. I have had years of watching family friends pets and feel very confident taking care of animals, as I also have one of my own. I am currently working full time 9-6PM, but come this fall I am moving and completely starting over! I am looking to just have some fun and live life to the fullest! My routine for the first few months in my new place will be very loose scheduled and laid back. I am a very tidy and clean person. I often find myself leaving a place better than I found it! To some that may be annoying, but to a pet owner, I think they would always love a little extra help around the house and knowing they would be coming back to a nice clean place. I also am a very empathetic person, and would want to treat any pet, the way I treat my own.
About: My family owned a dog when I was in middle school for about a year and a half, but due to busy schedules at the time we had to give him up. My brother had a dog for a little over five years, and I enjoyed helping him take care of her while I was living with my parents, and I went to their house to see her and help take care of her when needed before she passed away! I am different from other sitters because I will spend as much time as I possibly can with your pet! I know that with my brother’s dog, Emma, I wanted to be home with her as much as I can when I was living with my parents so she could be out of her kennel as often as possible.

I will always have an eye on your pet when they go to the bathroom outside, and will talk with you to get as many details as possible to make sure everything goes well while watching your pet! I am a teacher full time, so I would want to make sure that both you and your pet are okay with me being at my full time job during the day when I am house sitting. I am available to do house sitting all seven days of the week. I am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks only on the weekends (I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays to do these) due to working as a teacher, however if you ever need a drop in or dog walk in the evening during the week please feel free to send me a request for it!
