About: Taking walks around my pond, lots of cuddles, and play will be enjoyed at my home. Open to working with your feeding schedule preferences for your pet. Weekends, I will be home more to play and cuddle. I work outside of home during the week, but in the evenings I will have lots of time to play and have fun. If you have a crate, I would love for you to bring it for the dog. This way, if I am sitting with multiple pets while I'm gone, they are safe. Also, I will always have a leash in my complex.

About: I’ve taken care of rabbits, fish, hedgehogs, cats, dogs, and guinea pigs. I’ve done so for friends, family, neighbors, and mutual friends. I care for each pet like they’re someone’s baby, because they are! I currently work 8-4, but have a very flexible schedule. I can care for pets at almost any time of the day, and would love to play with your pets! I have one friendly dog who loves to go for walks or run in the field across the street. Our yard is not fenced in, but I have a very sturdy lead they can run on. We have tons of toys, and dogs are allowed on any furniture unless you specify otherwise. I have a crate and room for others if you provide your own.
“Andrea was wonderful. My dog Gracie has severe anxiety and it wasn’t going to work, unfortunately. I ended up having to leave work and take her home. I felt bad for Andrea, but she reassured me she was fine with everything. Some dogs just don’t do well in other people’s homes. Anita”
“Becky was so great, my Dog Otis had such a fun time there. She took him on lots of walks, let him swim in the nearby lake, and gave him lots of love and treats. Would recommend her to anyone who wants their dog to have a loving place to stay.”

I’ve also taken care of an elderly dog in the past. I have trained a service dog in the past which means I can practice with your puppy or dog to remember commands. I don’t work.

I have dogs at home who spend the day wandering the house and have ability to go outside whenever. I love to play with dogs and to walk and cuddle with dogs who are interested in those things.

About: I have taken care of my own dogs since I was little, and I also have 6 years of experience working in doggy daycare and boarding services.

“I had an amazing first experience using the Rover app with Melissa! Chopper seemed comfortable, happy, and well taken care of the entire time. Melissa communicated incredibly well and sent lots of updates and pictures, which gave me a peace of mind. She was also very sweet, flexible with her availability, and active with Chopper. Melissa took Chopper on several long walks, and it was clear he had a great time with her. I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring, active, and reliable sitter. I look forward to booking with her again for Chopper in the future!”

I am especially skilled in providing excellent care for senior pets, ensuring their comfort and well-being. Additionally, I prioritize open communication with pet owners to keep them informed and at ease while they are away Pet care is a daily priority for me.

“Sara was an excellent dog sitter. I enjoyed her pictures she sent me during Cody’s stay. I felt very comfortable leaving Cody with her. She takes the time to bond with a new dog. Cody had a great time and came home tired! I would highly recommend Sara and will contact her for future vacations.”

“The best experience. Always. I have friends in town who would surely catsit for us if asked, but I know they would not spend as much time as Brittany does. My cat is in love with her, and the photos prove it.”
“I'm so glad I found Annette! It was my first time leaving my kitty alone at home and I was nervous especially since the little guy had an ear infection but she went above and beyond to take care of him and also administer his ear drops. She is very down to earth & easy to talk to and I felt comfortable working with her. Finding someone you trust to take care of your fur kiddo is such a personal & delicate thing and she's very thoughtful- I would definitely go back to her next time!”
“Kara is fantastic!! Right from the beginning with the meet and greet I knew I picked the right pet sitter. I was away for 6 days and Kara did a daily drop in service for my cat, Rue. My cat needs meds for skin allergies and she was able to stay on her prescribed dosage the entire time. Kara provided great care to Rue. Stress and being off of the meds can create flare ups of sores. Rue was happy and healthy when I returned home. Kara sent pictures every day and I could see that Rue had bonded with Kara immediately! I was able to share the daily pictures with my family as we traveled and it was a treat to look forward to seeing how Rue was doing. The human contact and playtime that Kara provided kept Rue’s stress level down and the meds she was able to administer kept Rue healthy. What a relief it was to me knowing Rue had such a great caregiver. I will definitely be using Kara again for future trips away from home.”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and truly love caring for them. Growing up, my family had dogs, chickens, rabbits, a green-winged macaw, fish, and other pets, so I became comfortable with animals of all kinds from a young age. Over the years, I've also dog and cat sat for many friends and family members, caring for pets with different personalities, ages, and routines. While I don't currently have a dog of my own, I'm a proud cat owner and know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just enjoys extra cuddles and company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I work full time during the week, but I'm available before and after work for walks and drop in visits. I'm committed to providing reliable, consistent care and will make sure your pets get the attention and love they deserve while you're away. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I do my best to stick to the schedule they're most comfortable with. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for a visit, I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise or playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of love and attention. I'm happy to follow any specific instructions, including administering medication (if needed), maintaining feeding schedules, or reinforcing routines you've already established. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.
About: While I am relatively new to formal pet sitting, I absolutely love cats and respect their unique personalities.

I have a very flexible schedule, meaning I will never rush through a visit. I promise to give your cat plenty of dedicated attention, quiet companionship, and send you cute photo updates so you know they are safe and happy!
“Debora was here today for her first drop-in visit. She was prompt and sent a couple pics as requested. She also left a note for me on how the visit went. My pup and her hit it off great at the meet and greet.”
“Summer took the time to stop by and meet us and our cats before we left for our trip. We enjoyed the daily updates and photos. She even got our shy cat to open up to her. We would gladly use her services again.”

About: I have always had a dog since I was in high school. I currently have 2 of the cutest dogs that have gone through training. I have a flexible schedule and understand that your pets are like your family so if you need someone last minute I am happy to accommodate! I work remotely with a flexible schedule. I understand that things come up and I’m more than happy to be that last minute option for you! I am in a central location where everything is about 15 mins away I can check in on pets and take them for walks. I can also do enrichment activities and keep consistency with any training that you are working on with your pets for extended check ins (not a trainer-just attended many sessions with my dogs).
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life. I've loved and cared for cat and dog breeds of all ages and sizes, going back to age 12 when my piano teacher hired me to provide drop in visits to her two Bernese Mountain dogs and two senior cats. I'm experienced in bathing & nail trimming and have no problem sitting on the floor patiently brushing out cockleburs for an hour. I've had long and short hair cats, and have experience providing specific meal requirements and special accommodations, as well as administering medicine and insulin shots. I believe pets are an extension of the family and should be treated just as warmly <3 Pet safety is super important to me - I will fully respect and honor a client's wishes for whatever they need in terms of crate use, off limit areas, dietary restrictions, human and other animal interactions, etc. I'm always trying to learn more about specific breeds and their traits so I can provide the best love and attention possible. I'm also happy to help with whatever you need while you're away - bringing the mail in, watering plants, taking the garbage out - just let me know! I have an almost 8 year old son who absolutely adores animals, so if the pets and their pet parents are comfortable with it, he comes along and provides even extra attention, playtime, and snuggles. I work remotely so my schedule is generally very flexible! Mornings, midday, and evenings during the work week, and anytime Saturday-Sunday. Just reach out and I'm sure we can make it work! I don't currently offer boarding at my home, but when I do, my pets are all very friendly! When in the client's home, I'm very aware and conscious of keeping the surroundings as they were, and using only the rooms necessary to care for your pets. I always make sure doors/windows are closed and/or locked.

“Julieth and Noah did a fantastic job walking our 2 dogs twice a day for 5 days. The couple were very good with communication - sending many photos and comments. We felt very comfortable having them walk our dogs while we were on vacation.”
About: I have raised my own pup since she was 8 weeks old. My heart and passion explode as I allow all of my energy to go towards loving and treating your pup with the care and respect they deserve. Young puppies to senior dogs, I will match the energy they desire. If you have a sick pup, I will be there to care for them and administer any meds they may need. Please reach out with any questions. I look forward to working with you and you pup, soon! I am available at almost any time you need. Later afternoon and evenings are wide open! Just ask and I can make it work! Looking forward to playing with your pup and creating that special bond. I am happy to go visit your own home to ensure your pup stays happy and comfortable in their own environment. Fenced yards are a plus!
“Brittany is wonderful! I can’t Rave enough! She’s been walking Chloe for about a month, twice a day and has been here promptly rain or shine. She’s taken a lot of pictures of Chloe on her walks and has always provided detailed feedback. She even put up with Chloe hitting her on the back of her legs when she’s showing off her many, many sticks along the way. I will definitely use Brittany again and recommend her to anyone who has a pet to 💕 love. Trari”
