“Bonnie is a great dog sitter! This is my second time working with her and will be doing it again. She makes sure I’m updated on my girl and know she is safe in her care!”

“Jessica has given me peace of mind while out of the country on a honeymoon. I was worried about leaving my cat because I have never gone for this long, but she has done a wonderful job with him! She is an animal lover and seems to pay close attention to the specific animals needs/personality”
“If you're looking for a dog sitter then look no further! This was our first time asking Betty if she'd look after our sweet girl and we couldn't be happier. Betty provides exemplary care, is a trustworthy person and also sent adorable pictures of our dog during the day. Also, my dog just absolutely loves Betty so it's a match made in heaven. My wife and I don't get out much, but I can guarantee you in the future we'll be booking Betty!”

“Marci kept our sweet girl, Macy, this weekend and she was awesome. She took such good care of Macy, sent us lots of pictures daily- we will use her again! Thanks, Marci!”

“Kristin is wonderful! She took great care of our senior dog and many cats and was communicative throughout with texted updates and photos. Tidied up after herself and did all she promised. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't be happier. We came home to a house full of relaxed and happy pets 😁 Will definitely re-book with Kristina in the future!”

About: I have cared for pets of all kinds since high school. I currently have 2 cats, a dog, and a fish that are a handful, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I am a freelance graphic designer and podcaster who makes my own schedule and can rearrange things to fit the needs of you and your pets. Listening to pet owners' instructions is of utmost importance when it comes to making sure your pets are taken care of. I pride myself on making the entire process as smooth as possible for your pets.
“Jniyah did a wonderful job watching our 6 month old bulldog puppy - mochi got lots of exercise, love and attention and it was nice peace of mind knowing she was with someone well cared for while we were away. We absolutely will be keeping Jniyah in mind for future trips!”

About: I have a soft spot for animals because I grew up with lots of them and hope to help strays in the future. I’ve helped my mom my entire life with her dog business so I’m very familiar and comfortable with caring for dogs! I have a very flexible schedule so I’m typically available if needed. I am able to do a few drop ins a day and for long term clients, overnight stays. If your pet needs to be let out in a fenced area or walked I can do that along with feeding and providing fresh water when needed. Additionally, I don’t mind a little enrichment such as playing fetch or a little tug of war. All animals should feel safe and comfortable and I provide that feeling.

“Ruah took care of our dog over the Christmas holiday. She was super easy to communicate with. Our dog was so happy when we got home, and our house was spotless. Thanks Ruah!!”

“Katy was such a cat whisperer with our super shy rescue cat! Spent time bringing her out of her shell and giving her a balance of space and attention when she needed it. We could tell by all the photo and video and verbal updates that our girl was well taken care of. It eased our own anxiety’s as well. Will be calling Katy back everytime!”

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals, from goats to chickens to house cats. I own a dog, who’s a year and a half old now, but I trained him from the time he was 8 weeks old. I also had a senior dog in my teens that I took care of. I have never met a critter I don’t love!! I’m currently a stay at home mom to my young daughter so I have plenty of time to pour all the love into your pup or kitty (or other!). My schedule is flexible to suit your needs and your fur baby’s preferences. I have a happy, friendly mid sized heeler pup who just loves other dogs and cats. I am happy to crate him if you are more comfortable with our critters not interacting while in my home, and of course, he will remain at my house while I care for your animals in your own home.
“Reba is great! Kept us in the loop with beautiful photos of our furry family, reached out when she had questions about everyone's routines, and took super care of everyone! We came back to relaxed and happy pets!”

“Christina stayed at our home and took care of our fur-babies while we moved our daughter to college. She kept us updated daily on how everyone was doing and everyone was happy and well taken care of when we got back! Already booked for our next time away and look forward to having her stay in the future 😊”

About: I've had pets growing up my entire life. I love animals and just enjoy being around them and giving them love! I've taken care of several pets for friends and family and just want to continue to do that for others when needed. I have my own business so I have a very flexible schedule and can be available day or night to take care of your furr babies 😊 My own animals are so friendly and loving and my home would be completely safe for ur furr babies but at this time I won't be able to board any pets at my house. This may change in the future.
“Desirae was awesome and my dogs loved her! Not only did she allow me to book her on short notice (only a few days prior), she communicated great, sent lots of pics and videos of my 2 dogs, and followed my directions to the tee. My husband and I will definitely be booking her again!”

“Daryne stayed in my home with my dog, June, for five days while I was away working. She could not have been more pleasant and professional in her communications with me. She sent daily updates and photos, managed everything well, and left my home clean and tidy. I highly recommend her!”

About: Growing up my mom had hunting dogs which I’d occasionally be tasked with caring for whether it be letting them out, washing their pens, or feeding them. After I moved out I got my first job at a pet supermarket where I was able to interact with all kinds of dogs over the 3 years I worked with them. I’d say that’s where most of my pet care experience comes from as I learned about the varied individual needs and habits of people’s pets as they got to know me. I also miss working with pets since I started working for Publix and I am keen for any opportunity to play or hang out with them. I am free most times of day (Mon, Wed, Fri 11:30 am - 12:30 pm currently unavailable) and available for all holidays, I am also presently available for short notice requests if you’re interested just reach out. Whatever needs or concerns a pet owner or the pet in question has I will fully abide by, in whatever capacity I am able to accommodate just let me know and it’ll be done.
“Abigail was amazing! Gave me such peace of mind knowing my babies were in good hands. She took care of my dog and 2 cats as if they were her own. Happy to know we all made a new friend and will most definitely be contacting her again next time”


About: I’ve worked with dogs through house sitting and volunteering at a humane society, so I’m used to all kinds of personalities. I keep things relaxed, follow their routine, and make sure they get lots of love, playtime, and attention! Plus updates so you don’t miss them too much :) I’m currently working part time and a college student! My schedule fluctuates week by week! I have a lot of weekend availability and some week availability for in house staying! For walking your pet I can pretty much work around whatever! With summer coming up my schedule will be changing and I should have lots of extra time! I care for pets by following their normal routine closely in their home like feeding, fresh water, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. For walks, I focus on safe, structured exercise that matches their energy level, making sure they get plenty of time to explore and potty while staying secure on leash. I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness.
