“Mary went above and beyond to care for our cat. Our cat is very skiddish around new people, but Mary took her time to be patient and let Callie warm up to her. We really appreciated her thoroughness and reliability. Followed all instructions to a tee and provided great daily updates. Highly recommend booking Mary!”


About: Hello! I’m Caton, and I genuinely love being around animals. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else, so I always try to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for every dog I care for. Whether your pup loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel cared for and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands! I have a lot of patience for animals because I have a little Pomeranian of my own. Whether your dog is energetic or anxious, I’ll make sure I can give them all the care they need! I am currently working part time with a job that closes around 2PM daily. I am waiting on my new school semester; therefore, I do not have classes at the moment. I am pretty flexible when it comes to drop ins and sitting. I always strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I care for. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and care while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions and will send regular updates/photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Elizabeth was amazing and cared for our cat so much with daily visits, cuddle time, and food/litter changes. We always felt safe and confident that our cat was taken care of with love. Thank you so much for everything, Elizabeth!!”

“Joanna takes good care of my kitty. She sent us some pictures during our travel. Thanks to her, our travel was with no worries. This is the first time I hire a pet sitter through Rover, and I am pretty satisfied.”

“Missy was very communicative and caring to my cat. It was first time using a sitter for him. I was a bit nervous as we had just moved and worried my cat would not do well. Would definitely rebook with Missy!”

“Emma did a great job watching our kitty while we were away. I Loved getting photos of her and she looked like she was having a great time! Emma was very easy to get a hold of and very accommodating.”
About: I grew up with multiple pets, we often called it the "Cook Family Zoo". I've helped take care of many cats, dogs, turtles, fish and even ferrets at one point! I currently have two dogs a terrier/cattle dog mix and a German shepherd/lab mix puppy! They both are rescues and love to cuddle. I volunteer with a local dog rescue and am a proud foster fail. :) I’m passionate about protecting all furry friends and finding the perfect home for each loving animal. I love all animals, big or small, and do my best to be flexible and communicate with you quickly and thoroughly. I hope you will consider me to help take care of your loved ones and I will be sure to give them lots of love while you're away. Currently working full time but have availability on weekends and most evenings to help out! I also have flexibility at work so depending on your needs can make drop in visits and walks during the day. I work from home occasionally too so I can usually be flexible as needed. If visiting your home I would respect your wishes around routine training, diet and behavior. I typically provide photos and/or text updates of your pet so you know they’re doing well and we’ll looked after even when you’re not able to be there!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, caring for all kinds of breeds from small lap dogs to larger, more energetic pups so I’m comfortable meeting the needs of dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also pay attention to subtle changes in behavior or mood so I can adjust my care to what your dog needs in the moment. My family and friends often ask me first to watch their dogs because they know I will take care of both their pets and their home as if they were my own. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, and providing attention and reassurance. I follow any instructions you provide to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I work a consistent weekday schedule (8am-5pm), but I make time for pet care before and after work, and can do a midday check-in during my lunch break with a little advance notice. Your pet will still get regular attention, care, and company throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, I always make it a priority to respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I know how important consistency is and I do my best to keep things calm and familiar while you’re away. I’m very mindful about things like securely locking doors, keeping a clean environment, and making sure your pet stays safe and comfortable at all times. I’m very respectful of your home and will always leave things as I found them. I pay close attention to details and will follow any instructions you provide, whether that’s feeding routines, medications, or specific preferences your pet has. I will also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing and can have peace of mind while you’re away. At this time, I offer care in clients’ homes only, which allows pets to stay in their own comfortable, familiar environment.
“Ashlea has been letting our 2 puppies out in the middle of the day for the last few weeks and has been fantastic. She has been flexible when my schedule changes and is completely reliable. We very much appreciate how she treats our dogs and highly recommend her.”

“Billy was awesome. My cat was in good hands while I was away—never had to worry. Lots of updates. He stayed a little longer to make sure she was comfortable with him. I would book with him again in a heartbeat.”

“Nick went above and beyond while watching our two pups while we were out of town!! They’ve never been so comfortable with a sitter before. Communication was fabulous and he always took the time to send detailed updates and pictures. I would 100% recommend!”

If I am watching animals in your home I will always make sure your home is exactly how you left it and clean.
“I am very pleased with Jonah’s care of my animals. He sent lots of pictures. I know my dog especially enjoyed his visits. He took extra care to let my older cat drink from the bathroom faucet. He was very responsive every time I texted. Very satisfied.”

About: I dog-sat a lot in high school and am ready to do it again! I’d love to have an animal of my own but think this would be a great solution for right now. I’m loving, caring, kind, and ready to watch some beautiful doggies (or kitties!)!! I currently have a kitty named Vader. He is kind and great with other animal. Due to teaching full time, I will be available during the weekends for the most part. If needed during the week, we can talk and negotiate. I have a yard (not fenced) for walks around the block. I’m located near several dog parks to let your dogs run and play fetch. I have a cat that is friendly and up-to-date on all shots.
