“Ryane was great and patient with my cat, Ghost. My cat can be a little shy at first when she meets new people but they became fast friends and Ghost seemed to warm up to Ryane quickly. Ryane followed the instructions that were given and gave me a little update at each check in. I highly recommend Ryane and would likely book again.”


“We love having Vivienne pet sit our pups and kitty. She's very caring and conscientious- spending a good amount of time with our pets. She has gotten to know them and it shows!”


About: I’ve had dogs my whole life from small to big, Terriars, Rottweilers, German Shepard, etc. I currently have a yellow lab named Rory. I have experience with all age dogs from puppies and elderly dog. I currently work full time 8-4:30 on weekday so I would be willing to come early morning, late afternoons, or nights. I am free anytime on weekends. I have an overly friendly Labrador at home who is very well trained. He goes on a walk at least once a day if not more but absolutely loves his big side yard where he gets to sunbathe! He has his spot on the couch where he naps most of the day away.

“Alannah was a terrific cat sitter - attentive, communicative, and caring to our pets! I appreciated her accommodating a somewhat last minute request and I came home to some happy cats :)”


“Lori is excellent! She is patient, kind, thoughtful and treated my pup and home as if it were her own. My boy loved his visit and I loved knowing he was in good hands when I was away from home. Highly recommend Lori as your pet sitter!”



About: Peace of mind pet care! Hi there! I'm Noelle! I'm a 34 year old animal enthusiast. I have years of personal experience being a dog and cat guardian. I have also worked with animals in a retail setting and a shelter setting. I bring to the table knowledge of pet behavior, basic care, food, toys, treats, health and wellness products, accessories, and more (a little of everything). I believe all pets are family members and will treat them as though they were my own. I will try my best to accommodate any special needs or requests you may have. I'm always receptive to questions or concerns so feel free to ask! I'm trying to earn money to help support my furry family by spending some time with yours! I look forward to making some new fur friends! Please allow enough time before your furbaby is under my care for a Meet and Greet. I will not accept service requests without a proper meeting! I want to confirm your baby, my babies, and myself will be safe and comfortable during our interactions! Currently trying to make this my main kibbles and bits! I'll consider any request and try to make it work! I take clients on weekdays and am NOT an early riser! Afternoons and evenings are perfect! I am hypervigilant with my own furbabies and will be with yours as well! Potty time will always be supervised (if you have a fence) and a leash is a must for walks! I will stay by their side the whole visit!

My husband & I also have a 10 year old, 45lb, Mini Goldendoodle who is sweet as pie & who we adore! I am able to take your dog to the park & for walks, play with them at my home & take on frequent potty breaks since I am always home watching them.

“Kora is an excellent sitter for our dog, Ginny. She is always willing to stay longer to provide comfort to our pup, send photos, and keep me updated. I’ve used Kora each time we’ve gone away for the last 2 years and she is just wonderful. This past trip we took she noticed dishes in our sink and did them. It wasn’t even necessary but she went the extra mile to provide incredible service. We feel so confident leaving our pup home, as we can’t board her due to her anxieties around other animals, and we are able to enjoy our trip. She is always available even last minute and she is dependable. Recommend Kora 100x over!”


About: Hi, Everyone! My name is Cara. Thank you for visiting my page. My strong admiration for animals has only grown more with the more animals I meet and as a result, it brings me genuine happiness. It is a rewarding experience to be able to take care of any animal that needs it while their owner is away. Since starting Rover in August 21’, I’ve had 10+ repeat clients and have established great friendships with families/people in the community as a result. I have a M-F teaching position 8am-4pm. A half hour lunch long lunch where I can leave to care for your furries in the middle of the day depending on the distance. Dogs will be crated when I’m not home. A little history: I grew up with a miniature schnauzer (Zoie) whom towards the end of her life, needed constant supervision and was administered medicine 3x/ day, grooming/washing daily. I was always there to comfort her until the end of her life and spoiled her beyond belief. Myself and my family provided care to my mini schnauzer for over 12 years. As a child, I never had a dog sitter to send updates, pictures/videos for my sweet Zoie when my family would travel, so I strongly understand the importance of quick and reliable communication/sending updates while you’re away. Experience - administering medicine/injections - cats, big dogs, small dogs, senior animals, special needs pets, pigs, cows, chickens. -exercise/run with your pet -hospice/end of life care (Repositioning every hour, hand feeding, massages, cooking packs, frozen bone broth snacks on warmer days, the list goes on) Pets and animals deserve to be spoiled but most importantly, they deserve to be loved. I have a white fur baby (Minnie). Shes a loyal, sweet and well behaved dog, I’m so lucky and thankful for her every day as she brings me so much happiness. She stays at home with her other best friend, my significant other while I’m away. If you think I’d be a good fit for your fur baby or have any questions or concerns, I’m here to answer them all and hope you will consider me! I work M-F through a nearby school, being able to provide supervision to animals while I am home. Check my calendar for the most up to date availability, please 😌 House sitting: Provide overnight care, 24/7 care, other responsibilities to care for your home while you are away (watering plants, picking up mail, cleaning, etc.) Always love to send picture and video updates 2-3x/a day of your furry one to ensure you are comfortable and know that your animal is well cared for and happy in my care!

About: Throughout my life, I have been blessed to have rescued numerous dogs from various situations. Since I was a child, my family has had over eight dogs that I loved and cared for with my whole heart. At times, we have had four dogs in the house at once so I am capable of handling any type of stress with animals. I truly love dogs so much and want to spread my love to other animals in my community. I currently have two boys named Googz and Bubba who are both rescues. They are my life. I’d love to spread some more love to your pups! I am a gigging musician so my week days are my best times to check in or walk your pets but I can make anything work. I can also occasionally spend the night with your dogs with enough notice. Caring for my dogs is my biggest priority in life. They are the center of my day everyday and I go above and beyond to keep them safe, happy and healthy. I’d be willing to walk your dog, take them to the park, or just hangout on the couch if they are the potato type! No dog is too big for me to handle and I have tons of experience with anxious/fearful dogs.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over two decades, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing a little extra love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, as well as cats and other small animals. In my own home, pets are treated like family with plenty of playtime, affection, and a focus on their unique routines and needs. Whether it’s a walk, overnight stay, or drop in visit, I’m committed to keeping your pet happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and work remotely when needed, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve.

I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and plenty of space inside for pets to relax. I live in a mother-daughter style home, which allows me to separate pets when needed—perfect for those who prefer their own space. I always follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel secure, whether that means crate time, supervised play, or sticking to familiar feeding and walking schedules. You can trust that your pet will be in a calm, clean, and loving environment.

Noelle M.

“Noelle is the best pet sitter ever!!! I have a multi, multi, multi, cat household and it was amazing how responsible and caring she was with them. It was truly like they were her own. The numerous visits to my home just to get to know them, and their routines was wonderful. She knew everyone by name, their likes and dislikes. Trust me, this is no easy task, even for me some days. I've said it before but Noelle has to be one of the most responsible, caring, compassionate, animal loving people I know. I was always reluctant to go away in the past but with Noelle I went on vacation knowing they were in the best possible care and felt I didn't have to worry about a thing. She sent me pictures and messages routinely just to let me know how everyone was doing. I swear when I got home they were sorry to see me, lol. I'm looking forward to my next vacation and she will certainly be my pet sitter. For the first time I didn't feel stressed leaving my fur babies. She certainly deserves five stars plus!!!”


Jamel H.
“Jamel helps me with my two dogs. They are more like family then Pets and Jamel understood that and went above and beyond. He takes them on long walks and jogs on a trail in my area with them. He takes them to the park and plays with them. Anytime Jamel sees them he always has treats for them. You can tell the true love and passion he has not just for my two babies, but animals in general. Jamel never fails to show genuine care and always brings my pups back happy and healthy. They miss him everytime he goes. We love Jamel and are very grateful for him and his service to us!”

She is active and has the strength, stamina and concern to be an amazing dog sitter”

I would highly recommend James as a pet sitter. Five stars!”
