“Alison was amazing! My cat, Bourbon, is extremely shy and doesn’t do well with new people, but came out to see her the first time he met her. Alison showed up when she said she would.”
“We had a meet-and-greet with Anneke prior to her house and petsitting next week. She is delightful! Great communication. Sweet with the animals. We immediately felt great peace of mind. We look forward to having her care for our furry ones during our vacation.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child growing up in a household full of animals. I'm used to all dog sizes, breeds, and ages, having had a pitbull, chow chow, and elderly dogs myself. I'm here to put your mind at ease that your pet is in great hands :) I'm also a plant lover and have a green thumb, if you need any plant care! I'm currently working remotely, so I can adapt my schedule to your pets needs. Early in the morning, around lunch hours, and after 6pm is best for drop-ins, and my remote work allows me to stay over on nights / house sit if needed. I will always approach your pet however best you recommend - every pet is different, and I want to be sure I respect the ways that work best for them to adjust to having a new person in their home. Of course, I always use a soft voice, treats, and affection to ease them into it.
“Molly was great with our cats and making sure they were well cared for when we were away. She also was very good at keeping us up to date with pictures and funny stories of their antics. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Heather is awesome! She did drop in visits for our cat while we were out town for about 5 days. She sent like 4-6 pictures each visit and gave regular updates. She was also super good about scheduling and communication when we had to book her - admittedly fairly last minute. 10 stars for Heather!”
About: I’ve had dogs anywhere from Springer Spaniels to Cane Corsos, and I absolutely adore every breed. My experience doesn’t end with dogs; I have taken care of tortoises, bunnies, and guinea pigs, too! I know how to give medication, and of course all the necessities. I have also taken care of dogs with disabilities, and injuries. I know how to wrap stitched wounds, as well as change gauze, and apply ointments the correct way! I am here to help and would love to meet y’all’s pups! I have many pets at home, so I am very used to what an animal needs! I am aware of their schedule, and how often most pets need to be taken outside, for walks, or fed. I start with lots of love! I will, of course, greet any dog with some pets, then go into whatever service is booked! I am very enthusiastic, and patient with pets.
About: I’m usually the first person my family calls when they need someone to care for their cutie pets while they’re away. As a grad student and pet owner myself, I understand the emotional support that animals can provide! Pets are family members and I understand what it takes to look after family. I send daily photo updates and report back any information requested. I have experience maintaining training schedules for puppies. I’m diligent at following care plans and requests. Overall, I truly to enjoy connecting with animals and their owners alike! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and considering me. I’m currently working towards my graduate degree and have a flexible daily schedule. I am able to stop by routinely (in between classes or internship commitments) to take care of your pet! I am available most weekends and weekdays. My schedule is subject to change in a few weeks with the start of a new semester. My goal is to continue the quality of care that your pet is used to. I want to reduce the amount of stress they might experience in the absence of their loving owner(s)! Keeping their routine as similar as possible is key. Meal times, walk times, crate/no crate, on/off furniture, treats, etc. are all things I try to attend to. I am open to specific requests your pet might need!
About: I have lived with dogs and cats my entire life. I've trained and raised my own rescue dog (100lbs), but I've lived/worked with many pet personalities--ranging from timid kittens and blind chihuahuas all the way to a disabled senior St. Bernard and aggressive German Shepherd. I have a deep compassion for all animals, so I am always eager to make more furry friends! I work two part-time jobs, both of which are very independently driven/flexible, so I am able to work within whatever schedule works best for you and your pet. I am experienced with animals of all demeanors and training levels, so I am able to adapt quickly to their specific needs to ensure their comfort and safety.
“Leah was so great with my two cats! I went out of town for two weeks, and she was very attentive and caring while I was gone. One of my cats has new health issues, but I never worried about them. She was always great about sending photos and updates every day, so I could see what they were up to as well. I'd definitely have her watch my cats again, and would definitely recommend her!”
“Andi did a great job taking care of our cats for a week. The daily updates and photos were a comfort, and she went above and beyond by sweeping up the litter the cats kept kicking out of the box.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for several years now from having my own pets to volunteering at our local animal shelter giving baths, play time and training. I have a huge passion for making all animal feel loved and safe! My husband and I run a cleaning and home service company with 2 employees and we are so lucky to have a super flexible schedule with a lot of time off! All animals deserve to feel loved and wanted and that’s what I strive for. I love giving all the pets and belly rubs and making sure your animal feels all the affection they deserve!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, currently have an Australian shepherd named Birdie who i love with all my heart. I know how important it is for dogs to be able to get that energy out with a nice walk. Im available basically whenever just need a days notice. I typically prefer mornings most days. But im not opposed to other types of scheduling! Just let me know! Im just available for walks. You can definitely trust me with your dog. I know how important dogs are to a family. My dog is like my child.
“Cole was put in a situation that could have ended badly for all involved. The neighbors let their dog roam knowing it’s history as an aggressive dog. Cole was quick thinking and handled the situation very well. His communication and quick action saved the day. I can’t say enough about Cole and his professionalism and communication”
About: My pet care experience includes a variety of different animals such as, dogs, cats, a turtle, hamster, mouse, bunny, and fish! I have always had a strong connection with animals and caring for them in general. The passion I have for taking care of all animals is very strong and I believe they are the purest creatures we have. If you chose me to watch your dogs or cats I promise you they will feel safe in this home and loved while you are gone. Your pet will be in good and loving hands. I also believe that animals have distinct personalities and emotions and those emotions should be paid attention to. Animals have needs just like humans have needs. Us humans have to tend to them! I feed the cats and dog every morning around 7 or 8. I let the dog out for about an hour or so before I leave for work and, clean the cats litter boxes (yes, they have separate ones) while the coffee is brewing. I make sure to spend some quality time with them before I leave. When I get home, Juno is always so excited to see me and the cats run up to me too! I’m just as excited to see them as they are to see me… I am not offering Boarding services right now because my dog and cats do not get along with other animals. I do offer house sitting services, where I start off by greeting the animals and gaining their trust. This is always the first thing I do when entering your house. I then go to the kitchen where the instructions to feed and walk them usually are. If they are not in the kitchen I usually double check my Rover app to see if there are instructions there. I make sure to close all of the blinds in the house and, lock every door if I ever need to leave during the house sitting duration.

Kaiya G.
“Kaiya is fantastic with animals, and especially with dogs! She grew up in household with no fewer than two, and most of her life with four dogs that were well cared for and very loved. After graduating from college she quickly welcomed dogs in need into her own home. She adopted a dog that was stray, near ferrel, large, and quite imposing and with time, attention, and affection transformes her into one of the most kind and well behaved dogs I have known. Kaiya knows dogs, loves dogs, and treats them with kindness and respect. I highly recommend her for pet care!”
