“Hope did great with the dogs. She was here almost all of the time and made sure they had plenty of potty breaks and play time. Our dogs are both 75 lbs and thing they are lap dogs she embraced this.”


“I just hired Zoe for the first time and she did an awesome job. I have a large Bernese Mountain dog and three cats, a handful. Zoe kept everyone happy while I was on my work trip. My dog used to be pretty stressed when I would return from trips, but with Zoe she was calm and happy when I got back. I appreciate Zoe for providing so much more than food and basic care for my babies, and highly recommend her.”


“I can’t say enough good things about Jordan’s pet setting. We met for a meet and greet prior to booking; she answered all my questions and concerns. Jordan quickly became engaged with my fur baby with lots of belly rubs and play. I knew right from the start, she would be a perfect fit. Jordan sent pictures and kept me updated on her care. She fulfilled all my expectations and then some. She’s a keeper; I will definitely reach out again for future pet care.”


About: I’ve been pet sitting and house sitting for many years for family, friends, and neighbors. I have experience house sitting, pet sitting, dog walking, and lots of experience with cats. My most recent pet I had for nearly 9 years was a cat I found at the shelter- we became inseparable. I’ve spent the last year traveling the US in my self converted camper van, and I’ve felt that the lifestyle doesn’t suite having a pet at this time- so being able to step in and help others with their animal’s needs truly fills a void in my heart! My most memorable pet sitting gig was for a litter of 8 Dutch Shepherd puppies and their momma. I also have experience with senior pet care and enjoy taking pets out and about if the owners would like. I also clean houses on the side which has exposed me to many different kinds of animals in the home and their varying personalities, needs, and sensitivities. Please let me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to being of service to you and your pet/home! 😌 I’m currently working in the surrounding area for a cleaning company. My daytime hours are pretty full doing that, however I am available for evening care as well as overnight care. Let me know if you would like more details regarding my schedule! I recognize what a large responsibility and privilege it is to step into someone else’s home and to care for their pets who have become their family. I treat each animal and home as if they were my own and try my very best to accommodate the specific needs of your pet whether it be crating, potty, medication schedules, anxiety, play time/favorite toys, etc.

“Jenna stepped up when I needed her. She did a great job and I appreciated her attention to detail. I would use Jenna again and recommend her to anyone looking for quality care.”

“She really cared about Arlo and did a good job caring for him. Took action when he got sick and took him to the emergency room for me. Prompt responses when I reached out to me. Apologetic for any mishaps. Clear communication.”

“Brandan did great with Demetri, who is anxious dog and requires special attention. He made sure D was well taken care of in my absence. I would highly recommend and rebook with Brandan again!”


About: I am capable and comfortable taking care of dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments! I’ve helped leash, house, and crate train a few dogs as well!

“We love Alexis! She took such good care of our 7 year old dog. We rescued him and he has always been a little anxious. He immediately felt at ease with her! She took him on lots of walks and he got lots of pets and cuddles(his favorite). She stayed in our home and kept everything nice and tidy! We hope she is available to watch him again in the future!”


About: I've had at least one pet my whole life. I grew up with an older dog that gave me a safe and comforting feeling. I am well experienced with different personalities and ages. I make sure my pets have been taken care of and also played with, that they feel loved and safe as my first dog had made me feel. I wake up fairly early at 6am to 7am. I make sure my animals are let out and fed soon after. I make sure throughout the day they have been given plenty of time to exercise and play before bedtime. The first thing I would do when first meeting a new friend is to not rush into it. I'd get to know them and their routine especially cats because they don't like their routine changed. They would have all their needs met even if it was specific on time and amounts. I would give additional attention and care for your pet because they experience a lot of stress while their owner is away.

About: I worked at a humane society for 2 years and am still a volunteer. I have worked with many different types of dogs and cats, administered medications, dealt with emergent situations, etc. I am looking to add pet care in to my life part time, along with my full time job and my current volunteer hours at the shelter. With the services I will be providing, dog walking, check ins, and house sitting, I do not think that the animal will be at my house.

About: I have had pets of every kind since I was little! I am able to give medication, clip nails, give baths, walk, etc. If there is something you need that I’m inexperienced in, I am open to learning! I currently stay home with my two boys so I have a very flexible schedule for your furry friend’s needs! We are able to do walks, home visits, or board them here. We have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs here! Lots of play and love available. We can also crate your dog (ours get crated nightly) or they can snuggle with us in bed if that is what they’re used to! Dogs are welcome on furniture here. We share this home with our pets in every way!

About: I’ve had 14 years of friends, family and neighbors trusting me for walking, feeding, giving baths, playing, gaining trust, building relationships with their furry family members and anything that comes with taking care of dogs 🥰 I’m currently trying to get a full time schedule on Rover. I’ve always wanted to work a job I absolutely love doing, what’s better than taking care of and playing with dogs all day? Nothing! Due to me not working, I have open availability for whenever your fur babies need to be taken care of! I can take care of your pets in any way that makes you comfortable! There will be a lot of playing and cuddles and love!

Rachel B.
“I had a wonderful experience with Rachel who watch our two Boxers. Our girl CJ was an old lady who was prone to accidents and Tank who was easily 90lbs of energy. Rachel was communicative, responsible, and clearly experienced with large, active breeds. She took the time to get to know CJ and Tanks schedule and needs. The dogs were happy and well cared for. I don't think they missed me at all. It's not always easy to find someone who can confidently handle two big dogs, but she did it with ease and genuine affection. Even more recently, our Dutch Shepherd had a litter of puppies! Rachel helped watch the pups from when they were just a few days old until they were ready to go home. She handled them, made sure they nursed, mixed their gruel, took them through stimulation protocols, and didn't hesitate to clean up after their messes. Rachel has proven herself capable to take care of tough breeds (i.e., Dutchies and Boxers) at every stage of life from new born pups to senior dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter.”
