“Katie was great taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She showed up when she said she would, spent some quality time with him, and sent plenty of pictures and status updates. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”

About: I grew up with a senior dog then had puppies to senior dogs. I now help my friends out with their little ones quite frequently. I am a professor so I have work from home hours and am only required on campus for short stints of time. Evenings I like to be outside and take walks. Weekends I love being outside. I live in an apartment right next to a city park. I love taking walks there, it’s a 1 mile trek but can end whenever. At my friends places, I let the dog lead and show me their routine. I enjoy taking dogs on adventures.
“We are so fortunate to have found Kathleen! She cares for our home, two pups, and one guinea pig while we were on vacation for a week. We returned to a clean home and happy pets! Kathleen was great at keeping us updated. We were able to have peace of mind on vacation. We recommend her highly.”

“Lux did a fantastic job watching my senior pup while I was away. He kept in touch daily with updates & photos to show my dog was in good hands. He was also flexible to accommodate my living situation & my dog’s needs. AND he left my place spotless after — so nice to come home to that!! Would definitely book again!”

“Sheila was great! I’ve never used Rover before and never left our pets with someone other than family. Sheila came for a meet and greet before we finalized the booking (I was afraid our wild pups might scare her off) and all my anxiety was instantly relieved. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. She had great questions and explained her usual process, making it very obvious that she has plenty of experience. I didn’t have any worries about leaving our pets and home in her care. Sheila sent updates and pics during the week and everything was in perfect condition when we got home. I can’t imagine anything that would have made the experience any better! Thank you Sheila!”

About: I grew up in a home full of animals and have been caring for pets my whole life. My family always had dogs—everything from a Yorkie and Dalmatian to two Beagles and a sweet white Boxer who was deaf—so I’m comfortable with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I also cared for rabbits, chickens, and several guinea pigs, giving me experience with different types of pets and their unique needs. Whether it’s dogs or other small animals, I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like part of the family. My schedule is best suited for weekend sitting, as I work full-time as a second grade teacher and usually have evening yoga classes or seasonal volleyball matches during the week. However, I can be flexible depending on the week—just let me know in advance and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I take pet safety and comfort seriously, and I always treat every animal as if they were my own. Your pet will get plenty of snuggles, attention, and a calm, caring environment while they’re with me. I’m happy to do walks as needed, follow your pet’s routine, and make sure they feel secure and loved the entire time. My goal is for you to feel confident that your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I grew up on a farm and have always loved caring for all four legged friends. In college I got in the routine of walking my roommates dog and miss having a dog in the house. I have a kitty of my own but unfortunately he’s not a huge fan of walking. This is my first time ever in my life not living with a dog so id love to hangout with yours! I’m currently not working so I have an extremely flexible schedule and plenty of extra time to hangout with fur babies! I’m also open to last minute calls! Keeping pets safe is my biggest priority, I can make sure pets are having a good time while being looked after responsibly in a safe and monitored environment.
“Carson stepped in when we had a sitter cancel last minute & was fabulous with our older pup while we were away for the weekend! We loved the updates and pictures we got and will definitely be reaching out to them to sit again soon. 😊”

“Olivia did a great job taking care of my cats! The litter box was cleaned regularly and she carefully followed my instructions. I liked that she was able to give regular update with pics whenever I started to miss my cats. The house was also left impeccably clean!”

“We are so lucky to have found Crystal. She is responsive, reliable, and goes beyond the minimum to ensure your pets are safe and happy. Our pups love her!”

About: I have been around animals my whole life, owning large and small dogs and many, many cats. I’m also knowledgeable of senior pet care, and can give those animals the special attention that they deserve. I ask that your animals be ok around children and also be crate trained if I need to leave the house, for your animals safety. Your dog or cat is welcome to sleep in bed with us or anywhere in the house, we own a 3 bedroom ranch so I’m sure they can find a comfortable place to sleep. Please bring enough food for the visit, I can provide as many treats as your good boy/girl needs. If they are on any special or restricted diets please let me know in advance. I am a college student and after classes are over for the day, I have the rest of the day to love on your pets! I pay very close attention to detail and follow instructions closely to provide the best care. I can provide daily updates and pictures for your peace of mind, and I respond to messages quickly.
“Dalton was super attentive to our puppies during his house stay. He sent us pictures of them throughout his stay and gave us updates. I was very happy and comfortable knowing our puppies were getting great care! I will keep him in mind for future dog sitting needs.”


“Freedom was great with my two dogs while I was on a trip! She was always very responsive and even checked in with me to make sure I had gotten back alright. Her updates were entertaining and it was obvious when I got back the dogs had a good time with her.”

“Jasmine did a wonderful job! She went above and beyond!! I needed her to pet sit for the weekend due to getting married. Some days I would randomly pop in to pick up some stuff. When I would pop in all of my animals were happy, food/water bowls always full, and she even went ahead and picked up some trash for me!! Can’t forget she also folded all my clean towels for me!! I highly recommend Jasmine she truly has a passion for taking care of someone else’s babies and she does a phenomenal job doing so.”

“Jhazahir was easily one of the best dogsitters we have ever had. She was very communicative, sensitive, and sweet with our boys. We knew they were being spoiled while we were away. She also didn’t hesitate to ask questions and get clarification when needed. The dogs are sometimes anxious when we return home from a trip, but they weren’t this time and I believe it’s because they were treated so well. Jhaz also respected our space and left everything exactly how she found it. We will absolutely book with her again in the future!”

“We had another great sitting with Syd! Syd is always so communicative and reliable. We know our dog Norma feels comfortable and safe, not to mention it is clear Syd has a genuine love and care for each pet and appreciates our Norma’s unique qualities. Our house is always neat and tidy when we return home, care instructions followed, and our dog happy and calm. Everything we could ask for- thank you Syd!”

“Jarrod was a fantastic dog sitter for our 3 pups while we were gone for the weekend! He is very friendly and easy to work with. During his stay, the dogs got plenty of attention and walks; we got plenty of pictures and updates. One of our dogs can be untrusting of strangers, but he quickly warmed up to Jarrod. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for top quality services.”
