“Jessi was great! Kept us up to date on what was happening with our kitties. Honestly I think they miss her undivided attention more than they missed us. Will book again”

“Sandy was excellent! She took care of our two big dogs when we were out of town. She is very reliable and texted us right away with photos to tell us all was well with our fur-babies. We would trust her to manage their care anytime. ?”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs I’d say every kind I’ve worked in daycares where I would bathe them, feed them, or just keep them company and let them know they are safe I’m currently working part time at target, I’m always free to take care of your fur babies and make sure they are fed and taken care of! I have a fenced in yard that my dogs absolutely love playing fetch it and my fur babies love other fur babies they will get alone very well!
“Ashley has done several drop ins with Ace, Leo, and Zeus.. I enjoy the fact that’s she is always early, and is always willing to go the extra mile for our munchkins! We are so grateful to have a sitter for our pets! Thanks again.”
“Angie did an awesome job sitting my dogs when I was out for the evening. She took them outside to relieve themselves and fed them dinner. I really loved the photos and detailed report she sent- it made me feel very good about their safety and comfort while I was out. I will definitely be booking with Angie again in the future. Thanks, Angie!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 10 when my parents started dog sitting through Rover! I also have three high energy pups of my own who keep me on my toes. I have plenty of experience caring for seniors and young animals alike, and am happy to provide special care for those with medical needs. I currently have a part-time internship, so I will have plenty of time to care for your animals! I am available Monday-Thursday any time! I am happy to provide extra care for animals with special needs, and love spending time outside! I have walked dogs at differing levels of training, so a little bit of pulling on leash won’t bother me!
About: I have had pets my entire life. At this time, I am petless, so I would love to love on your pets. Family and friends have relied on me to watch, walk, and play with their furry friends. I and my husband are retired so we have a lot of time to spend with your dog and will walk them a few times a day and play with them. They will always have someone with them. I take younger dogs for a morning, afternoon and night walk. I adjust the number of walks and distance if they are older dogs. I also play with them. They can sleep on the bed and furniture.
About: I will love your dog like my own! I have experience with many breeds and many different temperaments. I worked in a doggy day care for 4 years so I am very familiar with senior care, medicine care and feeding care. My schedule has currently opened up so I have more time to love on your dogs! I enjoy taking the time to get to know you and your pooch. I have a backyard for the pups to run around in. I have more than enough room to crate your pup if necessary. I have an incredibly friendly dog who loves other dogs.
About: I have taken care of animals for family and friends. I have had many animals myself that I have raised and care for, I love playing with them too.

Depending on the home someone has, I am able to accommodate with having dogs on leashes or in a fenced area. I love playing with dogs and making a connection with them.

I work from home, so I have some flexibility/availability during the morning and afternoon and am free in the evenings. I am also available most weekends. I love getting to know dogs and other pets. I will learn from the owners about their pets and observe their behaviors to see works best for them in our interactions.

Im looking forward to meeting your furry family members and hopefully giving you some peace of mind that they well be safe and adored while you’re away. I’m currently in my last semester of undergrad and saving up for grad school. I spend a lot of my time volunteering but have no firm work schedule.

Let me know what your pet needs! Everyone is different.
About: There is no substitute for the love of a pet owner, however, when you are unable to be home and need care for your pet, what I provide in services of drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting is the next best thing. I have owned various types of pets throughout my life. These pets ranged from a bearded dragon, cats, dogs - of varying sizes, and a few other species in-between. I do not shy away from large or muscular breeds of dogs, and if relevant, the same standard applies to cats as well. I love to stay active in my personal life and will bring that quality to the engagement with your beloved pet(s). I look forward to engaging in their needs and provide speciality care if needed. I cannot wait to meet them!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have always helped take care of them. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I’m used to feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they get lots of attention. I’m currently a college student, so I’m looking to help with dog walking and drop-in visits in my free time. I’m very responsible, on time, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, cared for, and gets the exercise and attention they need while you’re away. My schedule as a college student is pretty flexible, so I have time during the morning, day and evenings for walks and drop-in visits. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, and I enjoy getting outside and staying active with dogs! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routine so the pet feels comfortable. I always double check doors, leashes, and food instructions, and make sure pets are safe, exercised, and well cared for. I treat every home and pet with respect and make sure owners feel comfortable trusting me with their animals:)
About: I offer reliable drop-in visits and dog walking for both cats and dogs, and I truly enjoy caring for each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’ve owned both cats and dogs my entire life and have over a year of experience with dog boarding (a service which we no longer offer, but are excited to do drop in visits and walks instead!). I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments, routines, and energy levels. Whether it’s a walk to burn off energy, a potty break, feeding time, or just giving your pet attention and companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. In our home we allow the dogs to roam and play freely throughout the main level of our home. We do not allow dogs to sleep in our beds unless they are very small. We also have a fenced portion of our yard for them to get plenty of outdoor playtime! We require that all dogs be up to date on their vaccinations and free from infectious diseases. Let us know your dog’s typical routines, and we will do our best to match that during their stay.

Ashley was a fantastic sitter for Riggins and Renly! She was very communicative about when she would arrive and always provided helpful updates. Riggins clearly loved having her around — he was constantly demanding pets and attention from her, which says a lot about how comfortable he felt. I also really appreciated all the extra little things Ashley did, like bringing in the mail and packages and sending pictures of Riggins while I was away. Renly is very shy and kept his distance, but Ashley was patient and understanding with him as well. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were well cared for, and I would absolutely recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Jen was great. I had her come by to check on our cats and take care of the autolitter boxes because my elderly Mom could not do that. She was completely understanding and did a great job. We're going out of town again this week and Jen will be back again. Thanks Jen!
Kelly took stellar care of our kitties. She sent pictures every visit and made sure their litter was clean daily . She followed every instruction to a T and really takes care of them as if they are her own. We could rest easy knowing they were very well taken care of. I highly recommend her and we will absolutely be requesting her services for our next trip out of town.
Usually when I am gone, my cats get anxious, which lasts a few days after I return. This time, both cats were very laid back and chill, not at all clingy. The house was neat and tidy. (They usually knock things down to show their disapproval at my being gone.) Obviously, they felt at ease with Erica and she did a great job of taking care of them. She also brought in my newspaper and mail and left it neatly where I had asked.
Jessi has been a wonderful cat sitter. Our cat feels very comfortable with her and is always his calm sweet self when we return home. She is a very trust worthy person to take care of your pet and your home while you are away… and when needed, she even takes care of the plants and puts our garbage out for pick up🤗. We are very sad that she is moving away from this area and we will be on the hunt for a new cat sitter. While we are very happy for her new chapter in a different city, we have some big shoes to fill.
