“They are great people. They were very understanding with my circumstances. Lola loved it. She was even sitter home sick lol when she came home. Lola love playing and being with the other dogs.”
“Sadie and Louie were well cared for and I could tell they had a great day. My dogs got along well with sitters’ dogs and her home is large enough where they can find a quiet space to get away and rest. Dogs were taken on a nice walk and out to just potty as needed. Very happy with this sitter.🐾😁👍🏻”
“This was my 1st time using this service and I am very thankful for Aubree taking care of my pet. He has never stayed away from home with anyone. She made me feel very comfortable that my fur baby 'Buddy' was in good hands because I knew he would be a lil nervous. I love the way she communicates quickly, send pictures, and videos throughout their stay to let you know how everything is going. My puppy stayed for the weekend and I felt so relaxed that Buddy was in good hands. She definately makes your pets feel like home away from home. Buddy will definitely be returning for future visits. She is was awesome.”
“**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stephanie is amazing!** Stephanie took care of my dog Max for 4 days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly attentive, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made sure Max felt comfortable and loved the entire time. Her home was clean and safe, and Max came back happy and relaxed. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our sweet goldendoodle, Farley! Heather went above and beyond, caring for our old boy better than we could have ever imagined. She kept us updated with tons of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Farley was clearly loved, pampered, and treated like family. We will definitely be booking with Heather again—she’s the best!”
“Ford was happy staying with Ligia, as happy as he could be staying a way from me. Ligia was very patient with his anxiety. I will definitely be using her again.”
“I had never left my Yorkie with anyone and was very nervous. Connie quickly responded to my request to watch Buoy. I was so blessed to have found her! She took such good care of my baby! She sent lots of photos each day and I could see Buoy was getting lots of attention and having lots of fun! If I need to leave him again in the future I would definitely contact Connie!”
“Julie is so amazing! She keeps you informed daily with pics and updates. My dog Mack really seemed to enjoy his week long stay. I highly recommend her!! Thanks Julie for taking such excellent care of my boy!”
“Laurie was exceptionally welcoming to Bruce! Got endless photos and updates and was very happy to see Bruce having an excellent time! Additionally Laurie was extremely accommodating as weekend plans had to be extended due to flight delays and such getting back into the local area. Laurie is very helpful and quick to respond. Would highly recommend to anyone as it is for certain your pet will be well taken care of.”
“Lily, our dog seamed very happy there. The moment we arrived, Lily stated to play with the other dogs, and you can tell the Svetlana was a good and kind person the loved dog. We plan to use here again.”
“Needed a dog sitter last minute and they took Zeus in as family once again no problem. He was around pigs, goats and other dogs; this is seriously dog heaven. So grateful to have found you guys!”
“Oh my word. Rebekah was a life-saver. We had a last-minute booking, and at the Meet & Greet, any fears I had were out the window. She is so friendly and welcoming that my pup ran right to her! She has a spacious yard, a spacious dedicated area for several pups to sleep and stretch and nap (complete with cozy chair), and her joy is incredible! You can tell she really loves her job and does so much to care for the pets she watches. Rebekah was so great with sending updates and pictures - we never worried about our pup at all! It was clear she was in exceptionally good hands with Rebekah! We picked up our puppy, and while she was so excited to see us, she still running up to Rebekah like she was already part of the family! Rebekah gave us a full rundown of the stay, and how much fun our pup had with her and when we got home, our puppy passed OUT from all the excitement, fun, and exercise she was able to have with Rebekah. That made our hearts so happy to know that our pup had so much fun while we were gone! We don't leave her too often because of some of her past experiences with her previous owner. Rebekah really cared for our pup and made sure she was able to just be a dog and have a really good couple of days with a new friend.”
“Meredith is an angel with our sweet pup! She kept him for the duration of our cruise, and updated us with several pictures and a video. She was able to cater to our specific feeding needs, as well as administering medication. We are so lucky to have a puppysitter that treats him with such love and care.”
“Paprika had another wonderful stay with Sonja & Phil! She absolutely loves them and they always give us such a peace of mind when our dog stays with them.”
“Jeleesa and her sweet family took incredible care of my dog, Penny. She asked all the right questions, made sure Penny stuck to her walk and feeding schedule, and sent so many amazing photos and videos. Penny does not trust easily, but within 30 minutes of me dropping her off, she trusted Jeleesa enough to be pet on the stomach! We will definitely be coming back for all of our dog sitting needs.”
“Great sitter! Have booked many times. He's so great with my dog. She has separation anxiety- Phillip takes such good care of her. He is attentive and caring. Highly recommend”
“First time leaving my pup with new sitters that were not close to home. Loved the fact that she was able to roam the home. Even though she was mad at me! She looked happy 😊when I picked her up. Diffiently will give Eldeen another try, very pleased with the outcome.”

“Jessica is very attentive to our pets and she takes time to play with them. They enjoy her company and we feel at ease with her watching over them and our home. I’ve booked Jessica around 5 times and will continue to. Thank you Jessica Donna, Ziggy and Elizabeth”
About: My first cat was named Jasper. He was a tiger stripe American shorthair with Jasper colored eyes (hence his name). He was a stray we took in, and we noticed he had a slight limp. After a visit to the vet, and some x-rays were taken, it was clear his left hip had been injured when he was younger (vet approximated his age to be 10 at the time). I cared for him while he had his cone, after his leg was amputated (poor guy!), ensuring he received the proper medications on time. My second cat was an all-black stray (not sure his breed), but I named him Kuro. I had him for a year and some change and gave him to my friend after moving to a pet-free community. I missed having a cat, so I searched and found Naruto, who was only 10 days old, and I adopted him on the spot! I've taught him all his little quirks, including back-talking lol! I trained him to come at the sound of a particular whistle, to jump up on something after I tap, or scrape it in a certain pattern, and taught him to play fetch! I am able to administer medications Intravenous, or Sub-q, as well as advise on best care practices!
“Sara was terrific, as usual. She sent daily reports, with photos, of my cats. She was also responsive to questions. She even brought in a couple of packages that arrived while I was away. Will definitely book with Sara again.”
“Katie was very attentive and caring to our two cats while we were away. She made sure they were given attention and love and sent us details on how they were doing as well as adorable photos ❤️”
“She was very kind a reassuring. She says pictures whenever you ask and responds immediately to text messages. She also follows any notes you have for your animal to a T. If I need a pet sitter again, I will probably ask her.”
“Misty was wonderful with my cat, Apollo, over Thanksgiving! I was out of state and completely at ease knowing she was taking such great care of him. She sent daily updates and photos, which made being away so much easier. I had just bought an automatic feeder that started malfunctioning right after I left, and Misty handled it perfectly, making sure Apollo was fed and cared for. It really reinforced how important it is to have someone reliable checking in, even if you have automatic feeders and a water fountain. I’m so grateful for her help and will definitely book with her again! 🐾”
About: I have my own cat who is 1 years old, I have taken care of him since he was a kitten and learned things though trial and error. Raising him from a kitten taught me exactly how much patience and care it takes to keep a pet happy and healthy. I’m excited to bring that same level of dedication and affection to your furry family members!
“This was our first time using Rover, and we are so thankful that we found Chris to care for our cats while we were away. Our family really appreciated how well he took the time to play with and cuddle our cats while he was there caring for their other needs. Thank you!”
“Paige was accommodating about booking on short notice when my regular sitter couldn’t make it. Before my trip, she came over for a meet and greet and was super friendly! She provided updates about and pictures of my kitties while I was out of town.”
“Holly is absolutely great with my cat, and I feel much better knowing she is caring for her. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants the absolute best care for their pet.”
About: I have personal experience caring for cats with special medical needs, including giving oral medication and using an inhaler for asthma. I’m gentle, observant, and always patient with shy or anxious cats. Whether your cat needs playtime, medication, or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved.
“Super communicative, detailed, and prompt. I loved getting the updates with pics and details about her visits. I felt very comfortable knowing my cats were being well cared for. I’m definitely trying to nab Shelby for more visits in the future!! :) Thanks Shelby!!”
About: Though I have never owned my own cat I have a plethora of experience with them. I had a roommate with the most amazing cat, Lady Taco, she and I bonded and I frequently took care of her. At one point she had issues with one of her eyes and I would administer her eye drops. I also have current experience with cat sitting my sisters two cats, Chai and Beethoven. I have experience feeding them, refreshing their water fountain and litter box to just spending time with them. I look forward to meeting your furry feline friends.

About: Been taking care of pets since I was in Highschool. It was always a fun way to get my pet fix since we didn’t have any growing up! Stay at home mom of 3 young boys so I’m always home.

About: "Looking for a sitter who truly speaks animal? I have spent my entire life caring for an incredible variety of pets, giving me the unique skills needed to handle almost any animal family.

Today, I am a proud parent to a cat and two Holland Lop rabbits! Because I have lived alongside animals my whole life, I excel at reading their body language, vocal cues, and unique personalities. I am ready to provide a premium, loving, and safe environment for your babies!" I'm newly a father and am currently on paid family leave, and am available most days. My daily routine includes waking around 3am and getting the day started. I have several 2 hour blocks of time throughout my day that are not currently filled with any activities, perfect for caring for your pets! In My Home (Cat & Rabbit Friendly): Separate Zones: I maintain dedicated, safe zones for my resident cat and two Holland Lop rabbits to prevent stress. Exotic-Safe Space: My home environment is calm, secure, and adapted to handle specialized pet needs without disruption.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 10 years, whether mine or those belonging to family. I have trained puppies as well as taken care of my dogs that have reached their golden years, and helped them over the rainbow bridge. My top two priorities are communication and safety. Any need you have regarding your pet is of utmost importance because pets aren’t just animals - they’re family! I have two dogs at home, one is 1 1/2 years old and the other is nearly 4. We walk 3 times daily, as well as plenty of enrichment time inside. Enrichment depends on the day, it can be playing with toys, eating treats from snuffle mats, lick mats, or just running around with them until they’re as tired as I am! Safety is my biggest priority. I follow instructions very carefully, I keep a close eye on your fur babies both in the house and outside. I can send real time updates that way you know exactly what is going on at all times, and I will always make sure to ask questions when needed. I can recreate your pets routine as closely as possible, and I will always bring positive energy!
About: I’ve cared for dogs of every kind since I was young, and I truly love to spoil animals. I’ve trained dogs from puppies and currently have a senior baby of my own, so I understand the needs of both energetic pups and older dogs who require extra patience. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. Whether it’s long walks, training, or cozy cuddle time, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and special. I work remotely with flexible hours, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available weekdays and Saturdays, with Sundays unavailable. Since I can work from anywhere, I’m even able to work at your home with your pets if that makes them feel more comfortable. This flexibility means your pets will get plenty of attention, walks, and cuddles throughout the day while still keeping to their regular routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll care for them in their own familiar environment, helping them feel secure and at ease while you’re away. I’m also very quick with communication, keeping you updated so you always have peace of mind. I take time to get to know each pet and always follow your instructions carefully. You can trust that I’ll treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I give my own.
About: I began caring for my cat, Tori, who has allergies and respiratory issues, and through that experience I learned how to give medication, monitor breathing, and provide gentle emotional support.

I currently don’t work part time or attend school, so I have plenty of time every day, including weekends, to care for your pets with full attention and love. 1️⃣ Clean, safe, and caring pet care 2️⃣ Safe, gentle, and loving care 3️⃣ Hygienic and caring pet service 4️⃣ Clean hands, safe pets, happy hearts 5️⃣ Gentle care with safety first

About: Hi there! 🐾 With over 10 years of equine handling experience and many years of dog and pet sitting, I’ve learned that great pet care goes beyond simply being present, it’s about being observant, consistent, and reliable. I take pride in providing calm, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s unique needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between. I’m very mindful of routines, body language, and individual personalities, and I believe patience and consistency make all the difference in helping pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I value clear, open communication and always make it a priority to keep owners informed and at ease. From daily visits to extended stays, my goal is to provide a dependable, low-stress experience for both pets and their people. I treat every animal with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’d be honored to care for your pets and farm animals alike. Rates are not set in stone, I am happy to work with you to ensure your pet gets the care they deserve. I work part-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. This flexibility gives me the ability to provide consistent, attentive care, accommodate a variety of routines, and spend meaningful, unhurried time with your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very mindful of both the animals and the space they live in. I approach each visit with a safety-first mindset, taking care to secure doors, gates, and feeding areas, and to follow all instructions exactly as given. I’m attentive to subtle changes in behavior or environment and respond calmly and responsibly if anything seems out of the ordinary. I understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home, and I treat that responsibility with respect and professionalism. My goal is to provide a steady, reliable presence so pets remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and owners can feel confident knowing their home and animals are in careful hands.
About: I have a lifetime experience with multiple kinds of pets. I grew up with multiple dogs in the household, a few had behavioral issues but I loved them and I worked with them all the same. I now have an amazing rescue boy, Moose, a high energy black mouth cur. He is amazing. I’ve also had experience administering medications to dogs and caring for my parents elderly black lab. I also currently have four domestic rats: Theo, mouse, Baxter and Nibbles (1-3 years old). So I have experience in the small animal department as well. I have also cared for my sisters cats Beethoven and Chai whenever she is out of town. Feeding, cleaning and administering eye drops and medications. I am open to caring for any animal. I look forward to meeting your furry friend/s. I am currently in between jobs and am looking to supplement my income. I have a daughter who is in school from 730-330 so I am free to care for your pets in between those hours. If needed outside of those hours we would have to talk further and I may be able to accommodate. I just moved into a new apartment so I don’t have the set up to care for your pets at my home (exception, I have a room I could house your small animal/s for a short time). I am working on getting set up for home care. I currently am available to come to you to care for your fur babies. My sister has been very happy with my care of her cats and if you want you can reach out to her for a recommendation, just let me know.

About: I've personally cared for dogs for the better part of ten years. Ever since I met my heart dog Jake thirteen years ago, I have had a love and passion for pets. I currently am an assistance dog training minor at my university where I get to train future service dogs. This has led me to know how to properly care for dogs and understand their behavior beyond a surface level. I am excited to get to know and care for your furry family! I am currently working full time, so I am available for care Fridays-Sundays. I can do weekdays if that schedule works around your pets schedule.

About: I have always had a pet in the home, from fish to dogs! Pets are an amazing part of our families and deserve the special care and attention that our own human children have from us as parents. That’s why every four-legged visitor in my home receives the 5-star resort experience. Let me know what I can do for you and your furry friends today! I usually work from 9-5 on most weekdays approximately 5 minutes from home. That gives me the flexibility to check in on your pet throughout the day. For boarding, expect your pet to be snuggled, given food & treats (at your discretion), and receive quality walks. Drop-in visits are my preference, as well as walks. Nonetheless, please let me know what I can do to provide you with the best service possible. Beyond the normal pets, I love to ensure your pets receive the special care they need. From meds to treats, they will get the concierge experience.

About: I have hands-on experience boarding dogs for multiple owners, including puppies and multi-dog households. I’ve assisted a friend who runs a dog boarding business since last summer and am comfortable managing routines, feeding schedules, potty training, and supervision. I also own multiple pets, giving me daily experience with animal care and behavior. I provide a calm, safe environment and consistent updates so owners feel confident their pets are loved and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, playtime, and lots of attention. I plan my days around the pets in my care to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups and prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, pet-friendly home with close supervision and secure spaces. I own several small and large crates for dogs who are crate-trained or need quiet time. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and run freely rather than staying indoors all day. I follow each pet’s routine for feeding, potty breaks, and medications, supervise interactions, and provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and at ease.
“They are great people. They were very understanding with my circumstances. Lola loved it. She was even sitter home sick lol when she came home. Lola love playing and being with the other dogs.”
“Christie was thoughtful and ensured the safety of all of the pets that were in her care the week we boarded our dog. She did meets and greets with the pets and owners so everyone was comfortable. When we dropped our dog off she was excited to be there and couldn't wait to go in. Our dog enjoyed her time at Christie's. Christie provided videos of the dogs playing.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our sweet goldendoodle, Farley! Heather went above and beyond, caring for our old boy better than we could have ever imagined. She kept us updated with tons of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Farley was clearly loved, pampered, and treated like family. We will definitely be booking with Heather again—she’s the best!”
“Ford was happy staying with Ligia, as happy as he could be staying a way from me. Ligia was very patient with his anxiety. I will definitely be using her again.”
“I had never left my Yorkie with anyone and was very nervous. Connie quickly responded to my request to watch Buoy. I was so blessed to have found her! She took such good care of my baby! She sent lots of photos each day and I could see Buoy was getting lots of attention and having lots of fun! If I need to leave him again in the future I would definitely contact Connie!”
“Julie is so amazing! She keeps you informed daily with pics and updates. My dog Mack really seemed to enjoy his week long stay. I highly recommend her!! Thanks Julie for taking such excellent care of my boy!”
“Laurie was exceptionally welcoming to Bruce! Got endless photos and updates and was very happy to see Bruce having an excellent time! Additionally Laurie was extremely accommodating as weekend plans had to be extended due to flight delays and such getting back into the local area. Laurie is very helpful and quick to respond. Would highly recommend to anyone as it is for certain your pet will be well taken care of.”
“Needed a dog sitter last minute and they took Zeus in as family once again no problem. He was around pigs, goats and other dogs; this is seriously dog heaven. So grateful to have found you guys!”
“We are repeat clients of Heather. She is our first choice for dog boarding not only because Lucky is well cared for while with her, but also because she takes the time to understand his personality and tendencies. We trust Heather to care for our family member!”
“We had a great experience with Yeny and Ray! They were wonderful with our Furbaby, Kyon. We received lots of sweet and funny photo updates that perfectly captured his personality. It’s clear he was well loved and cared for.. he misses them already! We’re looking forward to booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Oh my word. Rebekah was a life-saver. We had a last-minute booking, and at the Meet & Greet, any fears I had were out the window. She is so friendly and welcoming that my pup ran right to her! She has a spacious yard, a spacious dedicated area for several pups to sleep and stretch and nap (complete with cozy chair), and her joy is incredible! You can tell she really loves her job and does so much to care for the pets she watches. Rebekah was so great with sending updates and pictures - we never worried about our pup at all! It was clear she was in exceptionally good hands with Rebekah! We picked up our puppy, and while she was so excited to see us, she still running up to Rebekah like she was already part of the family! Rebekah gave us a full rundown of the stay, and how much fun our pup had with her and when we got home, our puppy passed OUT from all the excitement, fun, and exercise she was able to have with Rebekah. That made our hearts so happy to know that our pup had so much fun while we were gone! We don't leave her too often because of some of her past experiences with her previous owner. Rebekah really cared for our pup and made sure she was able to just be a dog and have a really good couple of days with a new friend.”
“Paprika had another wonderful stay with Sonja & Phil! She absolutely loves them and they always give us such a peace of mind when our dog stays with them.”
“**Revised review:** Erin and her family provided phenomenal care for our three dogs! They loved the open environment with plenty of space to run around. Erin took them on daily walks, sent us plenty of pictures and updates, and was able to cater to each of our pets' unique personalities. We felt incredibly comfortable leaving our dogs with her and were delighted to see how happy and relaxed they were when we picked them up. We can't wait to have Erin watch them again!”
“Great sitter! Have booked many times. He's so great with my dog. She has separation anxiety- Phillip takes such good care of her. He is attentive and caring. Highly recommend”
