About: I have experience with many breeds and ages, and have been the primary carer for our current two dogs since birth. What can I say dogs just like me . Retired from my chosen career path now full-time homemaker. I currently watch our two pups and we would love a new friend to play with! I have a nice, big fenced backyard, and a fenced in front porch. My current dogs go out about every 2-3 hours during the day, but I can adhere to your dogs schedule if different. I often spend lots of time outside with my dogs, playing, and hanging out enjoying the day.

“Dawn was absolutely wonderful to work with! Great communication prior to booking answering all of our questions and was very accommodating with our schedule. She kept us informed with photos and messages during our girl's stay. Top notch! Thank you Dawn!”

“Katarzyna and Tim were both super nice people. They sent daily videos of our dog playing. Our dog really enjoyed the pond! They both also responded to texts promptly. We will definitely use them again in the future.”

“Sabrina was great! She treated my dog like family and in turn my dog did the same :) Scout absolutely loved staying there and enjoyed herself so much. I would highly recommend to anyone in the area if you are in need of a dog sitter/boarding. A+++!”

“Hatsuki is a wonderful mommy for my kitty, Vivi. She is genuinely compassionate and a caring person for the animals who cannot talk. She gave a very comfortable home for Vivi during her stay. Thank you, Hatsuki, for all you have done to me and my kitty. Vivi said she was happy to have met you, and looking forward to meeting with you again. Many thanks for your kindness. Makiko”

“Aparajita accepted a last minute request for boarding and took amazing care of Sugar. She kept us informed about how Sugar was doing daily with photos and videos. It made us feel relieved knowing our pup was in such good hands while away from us. We would definitely rebook and recommend Aparajita!”

“Joe did a great job communicating with me about Murphy while away. he is very friendly & accommodated every request he could for me. He spoiled Murphy with food and cuddles. i will continuing to use him in the future for future boardings😄”

“I have a 12 yo German Shepard. He's an old man now. We were going away for New Years and our normal sitter wasn't available. I was apprehensive about leaving him with someone new. Karin was spectacular. She was attentive to his needs and careful about his 'age' related shortcomings. She has a pup of her own and a young son who loved my boy. Karin sent plenty of pics of him and was very communicative during his stay, asking questions to make sure behaviors were normal and making sure he'd tolerate the environment there! I don't know how many stays my old man has left in him, but Karin is definitely the person I'd want watching him when I leave!”

“This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience! Courtney and Jordan took great care of my dog and I was able to enjoy my trip away without worry.”

“Tara far exceeded our expectations in caring for our 13 year old Goldendoodle. Tara provided incredible care and it’s clear her family is deeply committed to the pets for which they care. We will definitely bring Baylee back, because she already misses them! thank you to Tara and her family!”

“Rachel and her family treated my dog very well! Look forward to hiring again. I appreciate how she stepped up in a pinch after my reserved sitter wasn’t able to watch two days before Christmas/same day I was flying out.”

“Michelle is the nicest pet sitter I never met before, she keep us updated with tons of photos every day and let us feel extremely safe when we are not close to my dog. My dog looks happy through out the stay and eat exactly what I told her to feed. Before she give my dog treats, she even texted us and asked us if it is okay to give him this and that. I would highly recommend her as your pet sitter no matter long or short stay.”

“Ryan is great! He has watched Niko, our GS mix a few times now. This last time we were gone for over a week, when we picked up Niko he was freshly bathed and tuckered out from his 3mile walk. We hope to use Ryan again!!!”

“Catherine was very accommodating and responsive. Appreciate all her photos and text updates. Adam was a pleasure to deal with, too. Hoping to interact with them more often!”

“Catherine is absolutely lovely and clearly loves dogs! My pup was welcomed as if she was one of the pack already. Catherine did an amazing job of introducing her slowly to the other dogs and took great care of Lady. Would definitely book again!!”

“We highly recommend Rayme as a pet sitter as she is professional and trustworthy. Rayme followed feeding and medication instructions to the letter while ensuring the best care of our asthmatic cat. Having Rayme as our pet sitter while we were out of the country removed our worries and we appreciated her focused report outs.”

“This was my first time leaving the dogs to be checked on by a non family member. Morgan was so kind to do a meet and greet a week or 2 in advance. My 3 dogs loved her instantly! Morgan let me know when she arrived for the drop in, sent me a picture, and texted again when she left. I will absolutely request Morgan again!”


About: I have extensive professional experience caring for cats in both shelter and home settings, including fearful, undersocialized, and high-stress cats. My background includes reading feline body language, reducing stress during care, supporting cats through environmental changes, and providing individualized routines that respect each cat’s comfort level. I am experienced with shy, hiding, defensive, and overstimulated cats, and I prioritize low-stress handling, consent-based interaction, and predictable care. My approach focuses on creating a calm environment where cats feel safe, secure, and respected rather than forced into interaction.
About: Hi there! I’m Katie, your go-to pet lover who believes every wag, purr, and cuddle makes life brighter. I’ve grown up around animals and have spent 15 years caring for dogs, cats, and even the occasional quirky critter. Whether your pup needs adventurous walks, your senior dog needs gentle care, or your cat just wants a playmate, I’ve got it covered. Caring for animals isn’t something I have to “make time for”—it’s already woven into my daily rhythm. Each day, I start and end with time spent outdoors, which makes dog walking and playtime a natural part of my schedule. I plan my mornings and evenings around walks, meals, and check-ins, and I keep my afternoons flexible for drop-ins or longer adventures. When I come to your home, my priority is keeping your pet comfortable in their own environment. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, and special quirks are all respected. I keep things tidy, give them plenty of attention, and send you updates so you know they’re well cared for. Pets feel secure because they get to stay in the space they know best, while still getting all the affection and companionship they need.

“Caroline is truly one of a kind. She watched my two cats again after a couple years, and they immediately remembered her — which says everything. She just gets them. Her updates were hilarious and detailed (like full-on storytime from the cats’ point of view) and honestly made my whole trip better. It’s so rare to find someone who treats your pets like their own, but that’s exactly what she does. She gave them the same love, attention, and cuddles I would — probably more. I never had to worry once. I came home to happy cats, a spotless house, clean sheets, and the feeling that my cats had just had the best little staycation ever. She’s thoughtful, dependable, funny, and just genuinely wonderful to work with. If you’re lucky enough to book her — do it. My cats (and I) absolutely adore her.”


About: I’ve been a cat owner. I understand behavior. Currently, I take care of local cats when their owners are out of town. They require high level of medical attention in regards to medicine and care. I’m able to care for cats on the simple level and maintain their daily cat life balance.
“isabel is our favorite sitter we’ve had! she’s so attentive, and has gone out of her way to take care of prismo while we were out. i think prismo enjoys seeing a familiar face, and he’s always so happy to play with her! she’ll always be our #1 choice!!”


About: I was born into a house with kitty and have had at least one since! Since graduating from vet tech school in 2009 I’ve cleaned, cared for, fed and medicated Bangles to Calico’s to Himalayan’s and Sphyx’s. Spicy to cuddly I love’s all!

“Tim and Kasia were amazing with our Oliver! We were nervous to leave him for the first time since adopting him, he’s goes to work with us every day and he rides with us nearly everywhere but our daughters play sports and we have long weekend days away from home. They sent videos of him running around with the other dogs playing and having a blast, which was great to see because he’s a total couch potato at home. When my husband picked him up he acted like he didn’t want to leave which is out of character for Oliver because he’s usually glued to us 24/7! He loved being there and they will be our first choice whenever we need care for Oliver.”

“Sabrina and her family were awesome, they were so good to Oliver and I know he had a blast because he came home and immediately passed out for the rest of the night! I definitely recommend Sabrina for all your pup watching needs!”

“Erin was amazing! It was my first time leaving my dogs at a home and they transitioned perfectly. Erin is so kind and was great with my fur babies. You can tell she has a serving heart and a love for animals. I was also excited for my pups to get some play time with her dogs as my boy is a little timid. We took him to a dog park soon after and he wasn't scared to say hello to other dogs his size. That was so awesome! Thanks again Erin!”

“Aparajita was absolutely wonderful! This was a last-minute booking, and she was incredibly responsive, kind, and accommodating. She was so sweet with Dexter and clearly made him feel loved and comfortable right away. She kept us updated with so many fun photos and videos of Dexter playing and having a great time with her two bigger dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear he was having an amazing time and was being cared for like one of her own. We are so grateful for her excellent communication, flexibility, and loving care. We highly recommend Aparajita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”

“Catherine and Hubby are a wonderful team. They both love animals and they take such good care of my fur baby, just like she's their own. If you need care I highly recommend THEM!”

“We adore Stephanie and Aspen has the best time with her! She’s so great with keeping us updated and our dog gets so excited to visit and be a house guest! Thanks for always welcoming our girl!”

Arlissa’s front porch is fenced and gated, her yard is an “amusement park” for dogs. We appreciate the photos and comments while Aubie was in her care. Arlissa truly cares for the welfare of a “fur baby” in her care. If we travel through here again, we would use her services without hesitation.”

About: I have spent a lifetime caring for my own pets as well as rescuing animals. I think pets are an extremely important part of my livelihood and good mental health so I understand that your pet is an integral part of your family as well. I also understand that I am a guest in your pets home and will treat your home with the utmost respect and privacy. I am a mom, a wife and an Air Force veteran and I understand that schedules change due to work, family needs, and sickness. Being a stay at home mom with school age children allows me to be flexible and reliable. I also received my OH-EMT Intermediate medic training at WPAFB while serving in the military. I am very comfortable administering medications and any treatments. As of 2023 I also obtained my Instructor Animal CPR and First Aide Instructor Certification. I am a full time pet care specialist/trainer. I specialize with dogs that have anxiety disorders that can show themselves as aggressive behaviors which I believe are actually unmet needs.

About: I'm currently studying to become a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College, with additional certification to work specifically with shelter and rescue animals. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and those needing a little extra patience and care. What sets me apart is my passion for every part of pet care—from training and enrichment to comfort and fun. I also run a small pet business where I make homemade dog treats, leashes, bandanas, and more. Whether we're out for a walk, snuggling during a stay, or working on basic manners, I make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved like one of my own. I work part-time at a bank, but outside of that, my schedule is very flexible. I have plenty of time during the week and weekends to dedicate to pet care, whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, boarding, or overnight stays. I make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve! Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, pets have a clean, cozy, and secure space where they can relax and feel at ease. I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles, and I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep things consistent and stress-free. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family—paying close attention to their needs, behaviors, and preferences. I'm also trained in reading canine body language and am working toward certification in dog training and shelter care, so I'm confident handling dogs of all temperaments with patience and care.

About: I bring extensive professional experience in animal care and behavior, including years in shelter leadership and hands-on behavior work with fearful, anxious, and reactive animals. My background includes behavior assessment, stress reduction, enrichment planning, and individualized care for dogs who struggle with transitions, confinement, or unfamiliar people. I am especially comfortable working with dogs who need structure, patience, and clear communication rather than force or correction. I prioritize low stress handling, predictable routines, and meeting dogs where they are emotionally, not just physically. My goal is always to keep animals safe, supported, and understood while their people are away. I maintain a flexible, well-managed schedule that allows me to accommodate a wide range of client needs, including weekdays, weekends, and varying visit times, with appropriate advance notice. I care for pets by balancing structure with relationship-building. I focus on creating predictable routines, clear communication, and calm expectations while also prioritizing rapport, confidence, and emotional safety. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals and adjust care in real time to meet each pet where they are emotionally. Rather than forcing compliance, I help animals work through fear, overstimulation, or uncertainty at a pace they can handle. Whether in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to create a low-stress environment where pets feel safe, understood, and supported, which allows genuine progress and trust to develop. My pets at home enjoy structure along with play and lots of quiet time. My dog, Albany, enjoys finding hidden treats in a fenced backyard. My three cats, Duchess, Wanda, and Addie, enjoy plenty of naps, wand toy play time, and many hours of cuddling and watching tv.

About: hi, i’m taylor! i’ve loved animals my entire life and have cared for both cats and dogs since i was young. i currently have two fur babies of my own! a 7-year-old cat named pixie (who i rescued after she was homeless) and a 3-year-old dog named angel 🩷 they’ve taught me so much about patience, love, and understanding each pet’s unique personality. i also work as a nanny, so caregiving is second nature to me! i’m gentle, reliable, and always attentive to detail. i treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, or cuddles, i tailor my care to match each pet’s routine. i send lots of updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and cared for. i truly adore what i do, and i’d love to take care of your furry friend 🐾💗 pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine! i already work in a caregiving role as a nanny, so i’m naturally used to structure, responsibility, and providing care throughout the day. i build my pet visits and walks around my existing schedule, making sure each pet gets my full attention, affection, and time to play. i truly enjoy spending my mornings or evenings walking dogs and giving them love.. it’s one of my favorite parts of the day! when caring for pets in a client’s home, i make sure to follow their routine as closely as possible so each pet feels safe and comfortable. i take time to get to know their personality, favorite toys, and comfort habits. i always keep their space tidy, give them lots of love and attention, and send photo updates throughout the day 💗 my goal is for them to feel like their favorite human never left!

About: I have experience with many breeds and ages, and have been the primary carer for our current two dogs since birth. What can I say dogs just like me . Retired from my chosen career path now full-time homemaker. I currently watch our two pups and we would love a new friend to play with! I have a nice, big fenced backyard, and a fenced in front porch. My current dogs go out about every 2-3 hours during the day, but I can adhere to your dogs schedule if different. I often spend lots of time outside with my dogs, playing, and hanging out enjoying the day.
“Katarzyna and Tim were both super nice people. They sent daily videos of our dog playing. Our dog really enjoyed the pond! They both also responded to texts promptly. We will definitely use them again in the future.”

“Sabrina was great! She treated my dog like family and in turn my dog did the same :) Scout absolutely loved staying there and enjoyed herself so much. I would highly recommend to anyone in the area if you are in need of a dog sitter/boarding. A+++!”

“Aparajita accepted a last minute request for boarding and took amazing care of Sugar. She kept us informed about how Sugar was doing daily with photos and videos. It made us feel relieved knowing our pup was in such good hands while away from us. We would definitely rebook and recommend Aparajita!”

“This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience! Courtney and Jordan took great care of my dog and I was able to enjoy my trip away without worry.”

“Tara far exceeded our expectations in caring for our 13 year old Goldendoodle. Tara provided incredible care and it’s clear her family is deeply committed to the pets for which they care. We will definitely bring Baylee back, because she already misses them! thank you to Tara and her family!”

“Rachel and her family treated my dog very well! Look forward to hiring again. I appreciate how she stepped up in a pinch after my reserved sitter wasn’t able to watch two days before Christmas/same day I was flying out.”

“Ryan is great! He has watched Niko, our GS mix a few times now. This last time we were gone for over a week, when we picked up Niko he was freshly bathed and tuckered out from his 3mile walk. We hope to use Ryan again!!!”

“Catherine was very accommodating and responsive. Appreciate all her photos and text updates. Adam was a pleasure to deal with, too. Hoping to interact with them more often!”

“Catherine is absolutely lovely and clearly loves dogs! My pup was welcomed as if she was one of the pack already. Catherine did an amazing job of introducing her slowly to the other dogs and took great care of Lady. Would definitely book again!!”

“Derik and Megan are wonderful. They took on a challenge or what I would call a challenge by caring for my little boogie baby. They treated him so well as if he was their own. They kept me updated with pictures and text. I wouldn't ask for a better dog sitter. They made us feel at ease with our baby knowing it was our first time ever boarding him. Thank you again!”

“Lashonna is fantastic. A great meet-and-greet, very accommodating on pick up and drop off, great communication, and most importantly our dog seems very happy with the stay.”

“Kyri has been great each time 😊 She is always so nice and patient. Emir loves her and enjoys his time at her house. I appreciate the fact that she communicates daily and sends pics and videos to update me on how he's doing. Also, Emir gets to socialize with other dogs in a safe environment.”

“Amber and her family took awesome care of our pup! She sent us pictures/videos regularly and gave us updates everyday. She’s very easy to communicate with and clearly loves what she does 🐶 🦴”

“Haley was awesome! Everything listed on her profile is accurate. Our Bailey had a great stay with Haley and her pups. Bailey was there less than 24 hours, but Haley sent us several pictures of her and provided an update of how the stay was going. I would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again!!”

“Kristin was very proffesional and accommodating. We were able to easily schedule a meet and greet before booking the service. She sent daily updates, including pictures, and was very communicative throughout the entire process. We look forward to booking with Kristin again!”
