“Lynne is a wonderful and caring dog sitter. Our Older dog Layla enjoyed staying with Lynne for three days. Plenty of space inside and outside. Lynne sends daily updates and photos. Thank you, Lynne. Look forward to seeing you again in the near future.”
“Miriam has watched Chowder for over a year now and she has been amazing! Chowder and her have connected so well and it’s clear that he is completely comfortable and happy around her. She is very attentive and sensitive to his needs. Very happy to continue working with her 😊”
“Catrina was great! She provided updates on how Shadow was doing each day and sent pictures. I appreciated how thoughtful she was in making the home environment safe for our dog who loves to chew up things left at his eye level. I would definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve always loved animals, often more than people if I’m honest haha. I will love your babies like they are my own! Crate trained or not crate trained are welcome. They won’t be spending much time, if any, in it unless that’s part of the requested care. I lost both my rescues, the most recent almost 2 years ago. It’s an indescribable loss. My heart isn’t ready to own another animal yet, but I truly have so much love to give them. I’m the type that let my dogs on any and all furniture, celebrated birthdays, and went on special trips and outings I know they would love! I’ve always owned animals, specifically dogs, my entire life. I believe they are the purest form of love. I’ve watched animals for friends and family, but my senior dog made it difficult towards the end of his life to have any other animals around. I live in a private community with 2 grassy dog parks inside it. While I have your baby, please feel free to connect anytime you want an update or reassurance that they are safe and sound! I work at a spa part time, and also from home. I have plenty of walk and spoil time! I’m not away at work longer than 5 hours at a time a few days a week. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. I want them, and you, to feel safe and relaxed 😌 I’m a sucker for animals. I’m sure your pet will figure that out in the first 5 minutes haha. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and other small animals, so I’m comfortable with everything from walks and playtime to feeding, cleaning, medication routines, and lots of cuddles. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs and want every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their person is away. 🐾💕 I’m completely free and flexible until September 23rd! Once classes begin, I’ll still have plenty of availability for pet care, walks, and drop-in visits. My class schedule is pretty spread out, so I’m able to work around your pet’s needs and can often provide care before or after class. 🐾💕 Monday: Classes 1:00–2:50 PM Tuesday: Class 3:00–3:50 PM Wednesday: Classes 2:00–2:50 PM & 5:00–7:50 PM for midterms (will let you know well in advance) Thursday: Class 3:00–3:50 PM Friday: Class 2:00–2:50 PM Outside of these class times, I’m generally available and happy to work with your schedule! I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I keep a close eye on pets during care, make sure doors and gates stay secure, and keep potentially harmful items out of reach. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and safe while you’re away! 🐾💕
“Elle was great! I went on a cruise and needed to find somewhere for my dogs to go where they would be taken care of and not stuck in a cage. From the beginning Elle was accommodating and reassuring that our dogs would be okay. When I came home and picked up my dogs they were worn out from all the playing they did and I know I couldn't have gotten that kind of care from anywhere else. Hyper and playful dogs need plenty of run around time and Elle made sure they got that!”
“Lizzie was friendly, mindful of my cats' experience, and easy to communicate with. I would completely recommend her; I'll contact her first if I need my cats watched again. I appreciated her updates and photos throughout the day. My cats can be a bit scared when they are in a new place, but Lizzie gave them space to find their spots to chill while they wondered why the heck they were in a new place without me. She cared for them exactly as I would hope when my little ladies are with someone they are unfamiliar with.”
“Mason was very friendly and responsive! She took good care of our sweet girl Ziggy for a few days. I know Ziggy had alot of fun hanging out and playing with the other dogs, she came home happy and relaxed! 😊”

“Allison did a great job with the twice-daily drop-in visits for my cat, while I was away for four days. She followed the instructions I left and sent texts at the start and end of each visit. She also sent photos for every drop-in and replied to my texts promptly. She was reliable, consistent and trustworthy. I felt comfortable with her on my home and caring for my cat, and I’ll hire her for my next trip without hesitation.”
“Naomi was exceptional with our older kitty Bebe. She was very communicative and engaged in taking care of Bebe and shared many photos and sweet notes after each drop in.”
“Holy wow! I cannot say enough great things about Allyson! From the very first interaction she was communicative, friendly, and respectful. She took SUCH good care of my cats while I was away. It’s easy to see she really loves what she does. I would recommend Allyson for ANYtime you need some help with your pets!”
“Angel is absolute best. My cat loves her and she even found a new toy he likes despite not being the playful type. He’s a big cat and she did great job keeping cat boxes clean. No smell at all once we got home. Terrific, dependable and professional care can’t be beat.”
About: I was raised in a dog and cat household and loved taking care of them. For the brief time in my adulthood that I did not have a pet, I would dog/cat sit for a various families often. I am fond of elderly dogs/cats and have taken care a few (including giving medications, shots, cooking specific diets, etc). I am also comfortable feeding farm animals such as horses and mules. I work full-time from my home allowing flexible time to play and care for animals. My outings are usually quick errands around town so my pets get a lot of dog mom time! I am available to do longer stays given that I work remote and love making pets feel safe and comfortable whilst their owners are away. I have a fenced-in yard and 2 friendly dogs (lab and border collie mix) to keep your furry loved one company! I also play music often for myself and for the dogs. I find it helps soothe some anxiety for them as well!
About: I love the way that cats are they're very unpredictable One minute they're all happy and praying the next minute they're jumping on top of your head, I like that about cats I love to play with them too they're so fun. I got my first cat when I was 6 years old her name was precious I'll never forget her it was the best day of my life I think all animals including cats are precious.
“It was my first time leaving my 2 cats. Cats were fed separately, played with and taken care of. When I came home the house was in as good as shape as when I left it. Instructions were followed (and I had lots of instructions!). My cats were both clearly very happy. Jill was responsive and communicative of both good news and problems. Jill was really flexible: we were able to come to an arrangement that didn't fit nicely into the Rover app's scheduling. I would trust Jill to take care of my cats again, and I would recommend her to others as well.”
“Hannah excelled in communicating the details of pick up and drop off, and she also provided excellent updates while caring for my cat. I would definitely choose her services again!”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of pets. For over twenty years, friends, families, business associates and everybody's been happy and i'm even animal cpr trained I am currently not working. Uh, so I have lots of time to spend with your pets playing with them. I have six acres, and i'm always outside with the dog, so never outside alone. I have a partially fenced yard. I have 6 acres, and I have trails through the property. But I never let the dogs go out by themselves. I always walk them through my property at least four times a day.

“Nancy seemed to be great with our dog. She was also incredibly accommodating on such short notice. We will definitely use her in the future if we happen to be back in the area!”
“Im very thankful I found Joe, he has the PERFECT location with a fenced yard for lots of playtime. My Duke was cared for and made new friends to play with. Thank you Joe, and thank you Rover.”
“Tracy took great care of my 3.5m old German shepherd puppy. She loves dogs and dogs love her. She has a LOT of experience reading dogs body language and understanding dogs. My pup will be very happy to go back to stay with her again.”
“Even in last minute request, she accept us and well take care of my babies🤍 My little one looks had fun with friend(lizzie’s family dogs) while big sis being anxious😅 I believe my girl will enjoy next time!”

“Plain and simple, Madison was nothing less than a pure blessing caring for my puppy Sailor. She didn’t simply care for her, she made her part of her family. Finding Madison (Maddy) to care for my pup was an answered prayer. I cannot sing her praise enough! 5++++++++ stars!!”
“Chelsea was great with my dog, she was very responsive and you can tell how much she loves dogs! My pup came home very tired and happy from running around with her boys all day. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Wendy accommodated our last minute request (literally the evening before) when we had a whale tour booked but learned dogs could not be unattended in our air bnb. She did great - making us and Thor feel comfortable leaving him with her. I’d gladly recommend Wendy to anybody local or visiting the area to watch your pup!”
“We brought our dog to Whitney’s house for three days while we were in the area for work and she took great care of him! She was super flexible since we needed to pick him up at different times each day. And our dog was happy and well exercised when we got him in the evening. If we are ever back in the area again and need babysitting we will definitely bring our puppy back. Thanks Whitney!”
About: I am a huge animal person! Since 13 growing up, I was the go-to girl for dog sitting in the neighborhood. This gives me a wide array of experience. I have lived with many dogs too. My family adopted a senior dog so I learned at a young age what older dogs need and enjoy. I’ve lived with younger dogs from mutts to hyper golden retriever puppies who need a steady active routine. I’m capable of providing it because my love of dogs is clear. I enjoy being outside and love being active with dogs however it all depends on the dog’s needs. No matter what, when you’re in need of a super sitter, i’ll be the rock for you and your pup(s)! I offer any services that you require, though I recently lost my car to a not-at-fault accident so assistance with bringing your babies to me is much appreciated. Currently open schedule - waiting to begin a PT job. I can do brisk morning walks and long afternoon/evening walks daily if needed to get that energy spent 😊 and I'm available everyday especially on holidays. I can have dogs over! My dog loves friends. I’m happy to walk your dog(s) around various parks in the area. How I care for your dog/your home is completely up to you. I have open services and can care in any way you need.
About: I’ve been in love with cats & dogs for as long as I can remember. In my home we always had 2 dogs and 2 cats. I cared for four family friends’ dogs in California the last couple of years. I love taking dogs on walks, and play time and cuddles with cats too. I have a mini poodle and a cat at the moment, they are best friends :) I am an RN but I am not working at the moment, so I spend a lot of time at home, so message me and we can see if what you need works out❤️ I will gladly send you pictures and video updates of your dog. I am also happy to play with them using their favorite toys! I am a nurse and I live with my husband who is a doctor (he also adores dogs). I am readily available to provide walks and companionship to your beloved pet on my days off. I would only dog sit your dog if I was not going to work, since when I do work in the hospital I’m gone all day and would not want to leave them for that long. So, on my days off and I dog sit and give them all the attention! I live in a 800 sq ft apartment overlooking a large park which offers an ideal space for playtime. I also live near a beautiful pond great for walking and exploring. I prefer dogs that will not sleep on my bed, but I’m ok with them going on the sofa.
