“Sarah is beyond amazing. She really cares for the well-being of the dogs. Our Zoe seems to have had a great time with her and the other dogs. We recommend her without any hesitation. Nima & Georges”
“This was my first time booking with Megan, and I couldn’t be happier. She and her family are so kind and gentle with dogs—our pups felt right at home. We have kids the same age as hers, and since our dogs love children, the whole atmosphere was very comforting for them. Our usually timid standard poodle even warmed up to her husband right away, which says a lot! Our 11-month-old mini schnauzer had her first boarding experience and did wonderfully too. It’s clear Megan’s family are true dog lovers, and I’m so glad we found them. Highly recommend!”

“Caitlin was wonderful! She was great at sending pictures and communicating how are Stormy girl was doing. She made us feel 1000% comfortable with our dog being with her while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will be booking with her again.”
“Wonderful stay for my senior pampered pooch! Bill sent great pics daily & most importantly administered necessary medications twice daily. Bill & his wife are truly caring & accommodating with fur babies & their parents! I highly recommend Bill & plan on using his expert sitting services again soon.”
“I appreciate that Alejandra was available and willing to take care of my baby for a whole week with just a one week notice. She is personable and flexible, making the intro visit a breeze. She knows how to handle meds, which is a big deal for me since my baby needs different meds twice daily. She seems to love and pamper doggies- my baby was barking at me from Alejandra's bed when I went to pick her up.... TRAICIONERA! I would definitely use Alejandra again if available.”
About: Animals have been a central part of my life for more than 30 years. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and I am a Certified Animal Cruelty Investigator through my previous professional work. I also spent over 10 years involved in animal rescue, where I gained invaluable hands-on experience caring for animals with a wide variety of needs, temperaments, and backgrounds. Now retired and home full-time, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable, and loving care for your pets. I understand that pets are cherished family members, and I treat every animal in my care with the same kindness, patience, and respect that I would want for my own. Whether your pet needs companionship, exercise, special attention, or simply a caring presence while you're away, you can feel confident knowing they are in experienced and compassionate hands. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets and providing them with exceptional care and attention. I am retired. Home most of the time. I have a super flexible schedule. I am an outdoor person. I love taking the pups for a walk to the river. I like to have a good routine with my pets. In the summer we get up early to go for a walk before the sun get's too warm. I have a nice fenced yard with shade. We can spend plenty outside. If I am at your home, I will follow your detailed schedule.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years and truly love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I know every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm routine, I’ll provide dependable care and treat them like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring and capable hands.🫶🏼 I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. Whether you need weekday visits, weekend care, or last-minute help, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get exercise, and pets are always welcome inside my home where they’ll be treated like family. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and will follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to make sure they feel happy and secure.
“Jennifer watched our two girls for two weeks and was absolutely amazing! She did a fantastic job of providing updates, including photos and videos. She even dressed them for the 4th of July and was prepared with PB stuffed bones for the fireworks. Will definitely be bringing our girls back to stay with Jenn again!”
About: I’ve volunteered at Safe Haven in the dog section and worked at the animal shelter in the cat section. I can do CPR on pets and know how to provide pills medication. Im currently working part time so I will be able to play with your pets. I also will be able to stay overnight and cuddle at night so that they do not feel lonely. I can also take them out on walks in the evening so that they can get their exercise and let out any excess energy. I have a fenced yard and also a designated room for them with crates so they can have their own beds. I also have extra water bowls and food bowls for them.
About: Our family has owned dogs our entire lives My mom and I both have experience in caring for dogs, ( my mom has experience bathing and grooming as well) We have plenty of dog supplies, food on hand and a large fenced yard We own 2 elderly fogs that are well socialized I have a pretty flexible schedule so feel free to message me and we can work something out. I can do daytime or overnight boarding I have a fenced yard and space in the living room where the dogs can relax and plenty of food in the house they are also welcomed to lay/relax where they want
About: Dogs are my best friends. Rover is a blessing in the fact I can do what I love and love to do and that is care and talk to dogs. My home and time are available 24 hours a day. For a pet owner to have a 24 hour emergency or non emergency sitter is awesome and that’s what I can provide My house is poodle proof!! I can handle when the dog is to smart for their britches and I can handle slower and meaner dogs. :).
“Louisa Stayed in touch with me the entire trip. My dog what is not traumatized. She acted normal when I got her home. She obviously enjoyed her time with Louisa. I highly recommend.”
About: I grew up on a farm just outside of hutch, so we had a large variety of animals, including but not limited to cats, dogs, and even a tortise at one point! I’d love to help meet all your needs and your animals needs in anyway possible! I recently moved to new mexico, but i am at home all day everyday! I am currently a travel nurse, but I am home a lot with my schedule, so my 5 cats and 1 dog, all are fully vaccinated get a lot of one on one time. But I love taking care of animals so that’s why I’m doing this. It fits really well into my ever changing routine. I currently live in a 56 foot Sanibel camper, but it is a pet friendly camper. My 5 cats Jezabell, Bogey, Penner, Don Julio, and Eve are very friendly and easy to get along with. They have free range food, as i tried to limit it and it just wasn’t working for them so Im trying this and it seems to work very well for them. They also have whatever they could ever want in water and toys, and I clean their litter boxes at least once a day to make them happier :) Ripley goes on walks morning and night, and is out of her kennel all day with me most days. But she is crate trained and very respectful but also playful!
“Erika and her family were very welcoming! Her daily photos and videos were helpful and gave us reassurance while we were away - plus, it was great to see our dog playing with other dogs. I highly recommend her care.”

“Allison did a great job! She was sweet, kind, and had no problem dealing with my outdoor cats. This was the first time I had to use someone other than friends or family to feed them & the experience went great.”
“Jennifer is the greatest pet sitter ever. She loves my kitties just as much as I do. She is very responsible and respectful. I had no worries at all the week that I was gone. I new Jennifer was there to take care of them. I will book Jennifer’ whenever I need a pet sitter.”
“Tommie came over and stayed with our 14 year old cat, Coopurr and we didn't have to worry about him getting quite so lonely. We appreciated the visits, the updates every day and the photos to see he was doing great. We will definitely be asking Tommie to take care of Coopurr again! I highly recommend her services!”
“Ren is a wonderful sitter! They made cat toys for Magic & sent a video of him playing with it! Kept me up-to-date on how Magic was doing when I was gone. Will definitely use Ren again!”
“Thank you for your loving care for my Mia! You made all the difference for her! You guys did a wonderful job! My plants thank you too! Thank you so much.”
“Morgan took great care of my two cats when I was away! Sent photo updates every visit, played with them, gave supervised outdoor time on the balcony, and also watered our plants. Highly recommend!”
“Anna is a fantastic and reliable house sitter and pet drop in sitter. She is always on time and gives my pets their meds and potty breaks with play time. She took excellent care of my home and pets for a week, and does drop in visits for me as well. My pets all love her so much - even my extremely shy Siamese comes out to play when she comes over.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old and have experience with pets of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I’ve assisted with whelping litters, ensuring each puppy gained weight appropriately, met all nutritional requirements, and received attentive care during their earliest stages of life. I also helped with early potty training, socialization, and sensory enrichment to support healthy development. In addition, I have experience caring for elderly pets by providing gentle, patient care, administering medications when needed, monitoring their comfort, and adapting to their changing needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pride myself on providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care. I am a stay at home dog and cat mom so I’m available any time and any day to look after your fur babies when needed. I am more comfortable with taking care of your fur babies from your home just because I do have a senior Great Dane who is not the friendliest toward other doggies.
“Was so great with my kitties! She sent me updates every day and that made me feel much more comfortable about leaving them with a sitter for the first time! Super appreciate that she was willing/able to watch them over Christmas! If I ever need another sitter I will definitely be asking Emily!”
“Amy Rae is very kind and patient with a nervous “cat mom” (me). She took very good care of my senior kitty who needs a little extra to feel safe. I will continue to book any her any time we need a sitter.”
About: Although I don't have extensive experience with indoor cats, I've rescued, bottle-fed, and safely rehomed a kitten. I also did home visits and fed cats for family friends when they were out of town.
“I had a weird situation in which the person caring for my animals abandoned them. Michelle was amazing and accommodating, went to my home after maintenence unlocked my place, cleaned up the mess my stressed out old man kitty made in a tub because he was alone for 4 days. Took care of him and the other 3 at the last minute for a week so I didn't have to leave my job (loose my job) and fly home. I was the most stressed out I'd been in years! But seeing the pics she took of my babies eating fresh wet food and playing every day helped me so much. 10000% recommend her and appreciate her and Rover for being here!! This is great app. Being able to see them check in and out, they can post photos and communicate like texting. Really great and will use again instead of depending on family!!”

About: I’ve helped take care of many of my friends cats in the past! My friends have always said positive things about me when it came to their cats. I don’t have as much experience with cats but as long as I have specific instructions on how your cat operates I got it!

“We couldn’t be happier with Diana’s care of our 1-year old Golden Retriever, Rajah. She was attentive, caring, knowledgeable and very communicative, giving us updates often several times per day, along with photos. She kept him engaged and playing either with her doggie toys at her home or out in her fenced in yard. She also made trips to the local dog park where Rajah could play to his hearts content! I highly recommend Diana for her attentiveness and loving pet care.”
“Sarah was wonderful to work with! I’m from out of town and needed help to watch my dog while I attended a function. Sarah was so communicative. Her yard and home are a wonderfully homey set up and all the dogs she had there when we dropped ours off were happy and playful. Sarah’s son was a greater helper! I wish they lived closer to where we live so we could work with her more. She was a lifesaver! We will be sure to return when we visit again!”
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life, different breeds and sizes, I’ve helped with birth of puppies, nurture sick ones too. I am a dog adoption advocate. I am not working at the moment so my schedule is pretty open. I am currently looking for a job but not in a huge hurry. While waiting I will work at my dream job ☺️Dog sitting. I will provide for the needs and safety of your pets per client requirement with much love and kindness. Having a play time is also a must. 😊
About: Hey pet owners! As someone who has never experienced life without a furry family member, I know just how much each and every one of you care for and love your pets. I grew up with a Dalmatian, he was in my life from birth until I was 11. During some of that time my family and I had seven cats - our two adoptive cats had 5 kittens - as well as an array of birds and fish. I now have my own pup and three cats so plenty of experience and would of course treat your pet as if it was my own. At the moment my schedule is very open. I do my best to adhere to my personal rule of not to leave the pets I care for for more than 4 hours at a time when in my care. If in my home, I do not leave the pets alone with mine until they have been supervised for a significant amount of time and have shown me that they get along. I also have two roommates, and I can almost guarantee that there will be someone home at nearly all times. In a clients home I try to make the environment and activities as normal for them as I can. But if you believe that when I’m with them it should be a treat for them I’m happy to take them on exciting new walks, check out new parks (for dogs) and spend time playing with them and giving them all of my attention.

About: Going to college to become a Veterinarian to run my own clinic. Studying Animal Sciences and Rangelands. Have always owned Dogs or pets. Believes animals are better than being around people. I am home 24/7! I love being around my dog and my family! I love taking them on walks or to dog parks and giving them treats! Enclosed fence, our dog loves all other dogs, can give care attention and time need. Will offer treats willingly. We know the neighbors and our safe neighborhood!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep respect, love, and attention I give every animal in my care. I truly believe animals show us how to love, live in the moment, and connect with the world around us. Because of that, I see caring for pets as more than a job — it’s a responsibility I take seriously and a relationship I genuinely value. My dedication to their care, comfort, and protection makes me a strong advocate for their joy and safety. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, and emotional needs so they feel secure, understood, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, including energetic young pets who need patience, consistency, and exercise, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentleness, extra monitoring, slower walks, medication support, and calm companionship. Whether a pet wants to play, cuddle, explore, or simply rest quietly nearby, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. My goal is always to create a peaceful, loving environment where pets are treated like family and owners feel complete peace of mind. Every day starts with pets first. The morning begins with fresh water, a snack if needed, and then straight outside to the fenced backyard for a potty break. For dogs, the next part of the routine is one of my favorites — a 3–4 mile walk to help them get exercise, stimulation, and a happy start to their day. After the walk, we settle in for breakfast if that’s part of their routine. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets are never left without attention for long. While I’m cleaning, kitchen prepping, or working around the house, I take frequent breaks for cuddles, playtime, and backyard visits. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I make sure every pet gets regular affection, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I truly enjoy creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I care with attention, intention and detail. I check in often and spend time just sitting with and talking to. I give So much LOVE.
“Dalia is the best ! I was able to travel with peace of mind knowing that my babies were taken care of :-) She sent a lot of pictures and videos throughout the weekend and is very responsive. Highly recommend!”
“Emily was wonderful with our energetic dog, Tallie. It is obvious that she is a dog lover. An added bonus is two friends (her two sweet pups) for Tallie to play with. A great experience and will definitely call on Emily again!”

About: Can care for any type of cat personality, from love-y and playful to the skittish and scaredy. I also have experience administering medication for cats. Open to small dog care too! Graduating college going into working a freelance job, event-based so I have periods of free time and flexibility. Feel free to ask about my availability! I would care for your cat as if it was my own. I would clean the litter boxes and throw-up if your kitty is sick. I can administer pill and liquid medication for the mouth. Then I will also play with your cat as to make sure it gets its energy out, and even offer supervised outside time desired.
“Allison is sweet and very kind. We felt comfortable with her and her communications. She followed our instructions for our dog (considerations for the heat, misting her down, checking her food and water, where to take her) and we know Gypsy was well taken care of. Recommend her and we'll book her again when we're back in the area.”
“Jessica was fantastic—super responsive and communicated clearly throughout. Our dogs loved their morning walks while we were away, and we’ll absolutely reach out to her again for future trips.”
“Jennifer is always on time and sends pictures of the pups with updates. I like how she responds instantly as well. I can tell the pups enjoy their walks when we come home from work. Thank you Jennifer for what you do!”
“Anna was superb! She was very caring and loving with our elderly dog. Also, because she is studying to be a physician, she was an excellent choice in pet sitters to help walk our dog with arthritis and provide him with eye medication. She was very thorough and professional at all times, and very friendly. She always kept her word and arrived early and spent extra time. Our little dog fell in love with her! She asked numerous questions and made sure she provided exactly the care that we were asking her to do for our dog. Her photos and descriptions of each of the walks with our dog were very helpful while we were out of state. This was our first time using Rover. Anna earned an A+ with us! She made us feel very comfortable in our absence. We would definitely use Anna again, and so would our dog Guinness!”

About: I have watched a large pack of dogs (13) at one point. I have my own dog to take care of. I've also watched my neighbors blue heeler and my aunts dogs and cats while she was away. Dogs seem to naturally gravitate towards me. I work part time at a hotel and I just recently graduated college. My husband and I are fixing to move and I figured this would be a good way to make a little bit of side money to help cover this move. I have my own 3 year old dog. He is amazing but can be a little wild. I have also looked after my neighbors dog and took care of my family friends dogs.
“Jazmin is responsible, dependable and caring. She is alert about plants that are dangerous for dogs and vigilant about keeping our dogs safe. She is kind and my dogs love her. I am so grateful for her since I have a chronic illness and can’t walk them like I used to. She really is the best!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals at every stage of life. I don’t just “watch” pets — I care for them as if they were my own. I understand that each animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I have experience working with both young and senior pets. With puppies and young dogs, I am patient and consistent with basic training reinforcement, including potty routines, leash manners, and positive behavior habits. I know how important structure is during those early months, and I make sure to maintain the routine you’ve established. For senior pets, I provide gentle, attentive care and closely monitor mobility, medication schedules, and comfort needs. I understand that older animals often need extra patience, slower walks, and more frequent check-ins, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications if needed.
About: I provide an safe haven for all my fury and non-fury friends. I provide an clean safe space and make sure all is provided for all my fury friends. One of my first job was house-sitting and taking care of necessities around the house as well as the owner's pets. I not only clean and help around the house but I also make sure the dogs are fed, getting in their exercise and etc. I also take them on walks and make sure they are comfortable with me first, because dogs can sense if people are actually decent and kind beings. I have always been around animals my entire life and would not mind getting a little dirty and fun with them. It's no fun when your always clean at least for a dog's point of view. Loll
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker! She took good care of my dog and was great with communication and sending me videos of my baby!! Definitely will be booking again!”
About: I have three years of experience working at a dog rescue, where I took care of anywhere from 10 to 100 dogs and puppies at a time! I grew up on a small farm surrounded by cats, dogs, horses, goats and chickens, and I helped take care of them from the time I was able to. Now, I have no pets of my own, but I love and cherish being able to shower other people’s pets with love and attention! My work schedule is one week on, one week off, and I travel during work days, so I am only able to care for pets on my off days. I love pampering pets that I’m taking care of and making them feel cozy and at ease while their owner is away. I love taking dogs for walks and live in a fairly quiet neighborhood.

Whether it's providing enriching playtime for energetic pups or offering soothing companionship to shy or senior cats, I understand the individualized care required to ensure their well-being and happiness. My deep connection with these beloved animals has equipped me with the knowledge and empathy needed to properly care for them, making me a reliable and compassionate caretaker for your cherished pets. As a dedicated high school senior, I am passionate about pet care and currently work part-time in a pet sitting role as well as a bather and brusher. I am available from 5:30 am to 6 am and from 11 am to 8 pm, ensuring that I can provide attentive care during the early morning and throughout the day. With a genuine love for animals and a strong work ethic, I am committed to delivering reliable and compassionate pet care whenever needed. When it comes to caring for my own pets, I prioritize their well-being and happiness above all else. I provide them with love, attention, and compassionate care, ensuring that their physical and emotional needs are met. Additionally, I understand the importance of discipline and training, as I have successfully addressed and corrected challenging behaviors through patient and extensive training methods. In caring for other people's pets, I apply the same level of love, compassion, and dedication that I give to my own animals. I am committed to fulfilling every request made by the pet owner, ensuring that their beloved companions receive the same standard of care that I would expect for my own pets. Whether it's adhering to specific feeding schedules, administering medication, providing regular exercise, or addressing any behavioral issues, I approach each pet with empathy and respect, striving to create a safe and nurturing environment for them. By leveraging my personal experiences and the high standards I hold for my own pets, I am well-equipped to meet the unique needs of every animal in my care. I am dedicated to building trust with both the pets and their owners, providing peace of mind and a sense of security while they are in my care.

“This was my first time booking with Megan, and I couldn’t be happier. She and her family are so kind and gentle with dogs—our pups felt right at home. We have kids the same age as hers, and since our dogs love children, the whole atmosphere was very comforting for them. Our usually timid standard poodle even warmed up to her husband right away, which says a lot! Our 11-month-old mini schnauzer had her first boarding experience and did wonderfully too. It’s clear Megan’s family are true dog lovers, and I’m so glad we found them. Highly recommend!”
“Caitlin was wonderful! She was great at sending pictures and communicating how are Stormy girl was doing. She made us feel 1000% comfortable with our dog being with her while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will be booking with her again.”
“Wonderful stay for my senior pampered pooch! Bill sent great pics daily & most importantly administered necessary medications twice daily. Bill & his wife are truly caring & accommodating with fur babies & their parents! I highly recommend Bill & plan on using his expert sitting services again soon.”
“I appreciate that Alejandra was available and willing to take care of my baby for a whole week with just a one week notice. She is personable and flexible, making the intro visit a breeze. She knows how to handle meds, which is a big deal for me since my baby needs different meds twice daily. She seems to love and pamper doggies- my baby was barking at me from Alejandra's bed when I went to pick her up.... TRAICIONERA! I would definitely use Alejandra again if available.”

“Jennifer watched our two girls for two weeks and was absolutely amazing! She did a fantastic job of providing updates, including photos and videos. She even dressed them for the 4th of July and was prepared with PB stuffed bones for the fireworks. Will definitely be bringing our girls back to stay with Jenn again!”

For a pet owner to have a 24 hour emergency or non emergency sitter is awesome and that’s what I can provide My house is poodle proof!! I can handle when the dog is to smart for their britches and I can handle slower and meaner dogs. :).
“Louisa Stayed in touch with me the entire trip. My dog what is not traumatized. She acted normal when I got her home. She obviously enjoyed her time with Louisa. I highly recommend.”
About: I grew up on a farm just outside of hutch, so we had a large variety of animals, including but not limited to cats, dogs, and even a tortise at one point! I’d love to help meet all your needs and your animals needs in anyway possible! I recently moved to new mexico, but i am at home all day everyday! I am currently a travel nurse, but I am home a lot with my schedule, so my 5 cats and 1 dog, all are fully vaccinated get a lot of one on one time. But I love taking care of animals so that’s why I’m doing this. It fits really well into my ever changing routine. I currently live in a 56 foot Sanibel camper, but it is a pet friendly camper. My 5 cats Jezabell, Bogey, Penner, Don Julio, and Eve are very friendly and easy to get along with. They have free range food, as i tried to limit it and it just wasn’t working for them so Im trying this and it seems to work very well for them. They also have whatever they could ever want in water and toys, and I clean their litter boxes at least once a day to make them happier :) Ripley goes on walks morning and night, and is out of her kennel all day with me most days. But she is crate trained and very respectful but also playful!
“Erika and her family were very welcoming! Her daily photos and videos were helpful and gave us reassurance while we were away - plus, it was great to see our dog playing with other dogs. I highly recommend her care.”
