“Excellent dog watcher!! It was my second time hiring Daniel and was such a comfort to travel while letting my senior dog stay at home. Daniel did great, kept me up to date with pictures and information about my dogs eating and drinking habits. Would definitely recommend if your like me and want your dog to stay in his comfort zone, hiring Daniel to look after your pet.”


“This is the second time we have had Misty cat sit for us while we’re away for vacation. She has been so amazing and loving to our Kitty. Definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!!”


About: I do have a cat of my own and a bunny and always dog sit my family dog Capone he’s about two and an half years old! And a pitbull mix, I do have references! I can start in August mostly around 3pm until whenever! I’m very flexible with time and dog sitting or cat sitting I can do Mondays-Fridays! I always take care of my cat and bunny in the mornings and always give them my time attention after work and make sure they have fresh water and entertainment and treats!

About: I started volunteering at the animal shelter when I was 10. I have 5 dogs and 8 cats that I have rescued from abusive/neglectful homes, the streets, and from the shelter. I took a vet tech class in high school and a big/small animal class. I’m very good with all kinds and types of animals. I work part time currently, 4 to 5 hours a day Monday-Thursday and I’m off Friday-Sunday. I will definitely be able to care for and engage with your pet when needed. When I go to a new house to dog sit I always lock the doors and make sure to follow all rules I have been given. I stay very aware of my surroundings and the animal.

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs all my life. I understand the needs and wants of a pet parent well. I’ll care for your fur babies like they’re my own 💛🐶 I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of free time to meet and play with new pups! Monday and Tuesday I have open availability and Wednesday-Sunday most weeks I will have morning/afternoon availability. Due to my own pack of fur babies at home, I only offer services in your home, so I’m open to whatever you need in your environment!

About: While I have the most experience taking care of cats, I do have experience with dogs, bearded dragons, and fish as well! I am also always open to learning about new animals and their care routines. I am consistent, detail oriented and passionate about caring for critters and that will always be the same no matter the animal! I am currently employed 7-3:30 5 days per week. I am able to attend to pets before and after work every day as well as on my days off. If something does not quite fit with my schedule I do have a partner who is a little more flexible and may be able to fill in. I live in a spacious townhouse, so if your pet is joining our crew we can provide them with their own space or allow them to roam with the others! If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat it as if its my own. I am a very cleanly person and I am detail oriented so I will attend to your surroundings as well as your pet!

“Kolton was great at communication, caring for our 2 pups and sharing photos of the experience. I would highly recommend using his services when you need someone reliable to care for your pets.”


“Myk'La is really nice and did a great job caring for my cat, including feeding, petting, giving meds, and litterbox cleaning. I definitely recommend her and will use her again if she is available to watch my pets.”


About: I have been fortunate enough to gain years of experience working with animals in both a shelter and medical setting. I am well trained in various routes of medicine administration as a result and love every dog I meet. I just want to be able to make a difference for the pets and their families within my community. I do currently work a full time schedule as a veterinary technician, and study part time, so I generally have a rather busy schedule. I am well-disciplined, however, and manage my time around all of my commitments appropriately, and your furry friends hold a high priority for me. I can prepare for overnight duties and have flexible enough time in the mornings and evenings, and could feasibly do drop-in care over the noon hour. My weekends are generally clear! I sincerely promise to be completely respectful of your living space if I am hired to provide care for your furry little loved ones, guaranteed.

About: My Mother and I ran a petcare business since I was 12. If I don’t know the answer, I ask her! Dogs have been an important part of my life for 20 years! I currently work from home and over the last two years have owned a husky mix who is very social and all around well trained. I have a huge privacy fenced in back yard with a fur baby of my own to keep yours company while you are away. I have the ability to crate if needed. I work from home so I am here most of the day, if not all day.

“Marissa was WONDERFUL with my boys and took such great care of them. She went above and beyond and did everything I asked and more. The boys loved her and I will absolutely be reaching out to her again!”


About: Im fortunate enough to have so much help when I go to work with my dog and work three nights a week so I have a lot of free time during the week. I’m looking to help others make sure their dogs can get let out or go for a walk while they’re busy (: I have a 1.5 year old mini golden doodle who is basically my child. we do everything together from walks to road trips to popcorn time during a movie! I work nights at a hospital and am lucky enough to have my grandparents watch my dog at night! I’d love to be able to help others out and ease some of the stress of having a dog at home by themselves for so many hours! My dog is my bestfriend, we go on walks every day, he loves play time with other animals & loves to snuggle up! We work on commands daily from sit, stay, shake, up, lay down, & much more!

“Rachel was fantastic, and our Penny loved her! Rachel was very prompt with all of her communications, and she offered to come by and do a meet and greet before our appointment with her. We also appreciated her willingness to stop by for a second puppy visit after we found out we would be delayed getting home. Great young lady and a great puppy sitter!”


“Emily is super sweet and very accepting of our babies. Everyone in our family is relived to have found someone we can trust and count on to take care of our pets. We look forward to hiring Emily more often in the future.”


About: I grew up with pets, both dogs and cats, and have taken care of many pets in my community (including friends, extended family, neighbors, and coworkers) whether it is just for a daily walk, or house sitting while they are on vacation. I have a part-time job, but besides that, I am free mostly every day, including weekends, and possibly house-sitting if need be! I am willing to work around your schedule to ensure the most happiness for you and your pet! I will follow and respect the rules you have set up for your pet, to ensure safety and comfort for your pet and home. I am comfortable putting your pet in a crate/room before leaving if need be, letting them roam within your gated area, or walking them around on a leash, whatever you prefer.

Kolton was great to work with. This was my first time using Rover. I left my animals at home and he visited with them a couple times a day. I love the pictures and updates he sent. I felt comfortable focusing on my event which, I'm a protective pet parent so that means something. Thank you for taking such good care of them. :)
