“Jade was incredible with my cat Daphne! She sent lots of pictures and videos and gave great updates. She spent lots of quality time with her and I came home to a very content kitty :)”


About: Since birth, I grew up around all different kinds of animals. I’ve raised 3 beautiful pit bulls and lab mix while also having the opportunity to dog sit friends pets from Golden Retriever’s to Yorkies. I am currently going to school part-time so I have plenty of free time to watch over your pets! My schedule is very flexible and easy to work around. I have a fenced backyard as well as front yard. I love playing fetch with my dog while also playing tag. After tricks, she loves receiving her treats.

“Jennie took such great care of our cats while we were away! Her compassion and consideration for detail are exceptional. One of our cats has a really hard time adjusting to new human friends, and Jennie’s patience with him was also wonderful. We felt completely at ease with Jennie looking after our furry loved ones.”


“Lilian was great. Adequately executed her role with my babies. I cannot believe Leo came out from hiding lol Highly recommended. Thanks so much Lilian. Will use again 🙏🏼”


“Cheryl did an excellent job taking care of both of my cats. She was very caring, kind, and thorough. She left updates and pictures. I highly recommend Cheryl if you were looking for someone to take care of your animals.”

“Mauri truly saved the day at the very last minute! I couldn’t see my puppy through the camera and was extremely worried — I even feared something had happened to him. I booked with Mauri just minutes in advance, and she responded so quickly and kindly. She gave me peace of mind right away. 100% recommended — I’d definitely book with her again! 🫶🏻”


“Jestine is great and very sweet!! Our cat Juju warmed up to her quickly and we appreciated her kind and gentle energy towards him. Highly recommended and would book with her again!”


“Andrew is so caring. My two Siberian boys trusted him right away. I know everything went well not just because of the notes and pictures shared (which were great) but because my sweet boys greeted me joyfully having been well cared for!!”


“Christina is so caring and communicative! She certainly gave my Sully her full attention and wanted to make sure all of his needs were met and more! She goes above and beyond. I highly recommend her!”


“Janayah is a lovely cat sitter and I highly recommend her. She read and followed all my instructions and took good care of my cat Luna. She provided a couple photos each visit. She played with Luna, kept the litter tidy for her, made sure her food plates were cleaned out and rotated. She has been very responsive in her communication and handled everything well while I was away on vacation. I came back to seeing everything neat and clean in the house as well.”

About: I’ve had dogs (both big and small), hamsters, fish, lizards and a cat in my family so I have tons of experience with pet care! I am a freelancer so I currently have a pretty open schedule. Caring for your pets would be one of my primary focuses of the day. I have a cat and dog in my family. I am the primary caregiver of my cat, and my family and I take turns walking and feeding my dog.

“Jojo is the absolute best! We are new bearded dragon owners, and has millennial pet owners with no kids, our pets are our babies. I felt completely confident taking a 10 day trip knowing that our baby would be safe and well cared for. Jojo’s detailed Rover cards and pictures made the process so easy. Their genuine care for our little girl was evident and I was able to rest easy while away from home.”



About: I'm energetic, love dogs, caring and patient. I have a full time job, but looking to make a little extra money on the side. I have walked/sat/boarded dogs on WAG walker for more than 8 years and have cared for friends' and family members’ dogs in the past. I have always wanted one of my own, and hopefully will adopt a furry friend soon! I'm home in the afternoon and evenings from 3pm on. I can do weekends as well especially mornings for later risers. My home has a large yard that is mostly fenced, perfect for playing all day. I like exercise and hope to get a little partner to help me. I really love dogs and want nothing more than to care for yours. I currently work full time in the mornings. Can do afternoon/evening drop ins, walks, full day boarding. Open to sitting as well likely not longer than a few days. I have a mostly fenced in yard in a nice neighborhood. No other pets, kids, etc. there are some neighborhood cats a dog may encounter.

“Melanie took great care of my dogs during her drop in visits. She was kind and communicative and shared lots of updates and photos. My dogs are fans, I will definitely be booking again!”

Sage P.
“Sage is one of the kindest, most gentle, and loving souls I’ve ever met. I have watched them handle dogs of different breeds, sizes, and attitudes with grace. Out of the kindness of their heart Sage walks their own dog for several hours almost every day. He is a lover of all living things, saving small bugs from my pool, stopping to look at pretty flowers, and enjoying walks through nature. My three dogs absolutely adore him, even our pup with some trauma and anxiety. If you’re looking for someone who will go out of their way to make your animal feel loved, Sage is your best bet.”
