“Justin was amazing. Followed instructions, was timely and took some really great photos with every check in. He went above and beyond what we expected of a cat sitter. While we were away there was a leak caused by our AC unit, he not only took precautions to contain the leak but continued to monitor and control it with every check in. Because of him we returned not only to a happy kitty but also an undamaged home.”


“Super happy with how communicative Loren was. She was patient with my little princess and spent a lot of time playing with her. I will definitely recommend Loren as well as book her again!”



“Kimberly was wonderful and was able to help us out last minute! She clearly cares for animals and was attentive to what my cat needed! She also cleaned up broken glass that the cat knocked off the counter and brought in a package for us. Thank you Kimberly!”


“Theresa was so wonderful with our 2 dogs. We had her do drop-in visits at our home while we were away. She fed them, let them outside, gave them treats, played with them and sat with them for a while. She left pictures and videos each time and she was so great, highly recommend!!”


About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as friends and family dogs for years now. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, as well as all personalities. I am familiar with low energy and high energy breeds, and know how to cater to each of them. I also specialize in dogs that have anxiety as well as reactivity, and know how to monitor their behavior and understand them in a way that most humans and other animals do not. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday so all animals would need to be able to be home alone for around 8-9 hours during the weekdays. My current hours are 6:30am-3pm, so I make a point to be available in the morning before I leave for work, and then after I return from work. This also applies to drop-ins. I make a point to be fully available on weekends since I am away often during the weekdays, but am also home early enough during the week that I can spend the afternoon, evening, and night with your furry little ones. I will care for your pets by following the owners’ and pets’ needs, I never stray from instructions. I will ensure safety precautions are always taken, as your animals safety is my highest priority.


“We're so glad we were able to book Kristy and Chris to do drop-ins for our cat while we were on vacation over the weekend. Kristy and Chris were extremely professional and took detailed notes on the instructions to care for Pemi. We really appreciate their courtesy and timeliness. Would highly recommend them to anyone else in the area!”


“Rhys is the best!!! Our little high energy spoiled baby was happy as could be when we got home, it’s obvious he was very comfortable and relaxed and loved Rhys. They had great playtime, but also calm down time, which is perfect because he can be easily overwhelmed. Rhys obviously loves animals and has the perfect temperament and patience to really “read” them. We felt very comfortable while we were out and we HIGHLY recommend Rhys; a confident, smart and very sweet new friend for our crazy little dude.”


“My husband and I knew upon meeting Tara for the first time that she was the perfect fit with our cat, Charlie. Charlie is very shy and usually hides when people come to visit. However, this was not the case when Tara entered our home. Tara did a top-notch job taking care of Charlie during her drop in visits over a period of one month. We were so happy when she sent up pictures and updates. Tara is reliable, kind, professional, and a true animal lover. Cats can be messy with the litter, etc. But with Tara on the job, we came home to a very neat home and well-fed, content cat. We will definitely seek Tara services again. Furthermore, we highly recommend her. Thanks a million, Tara.”

“Lynsey is the best! She took great care of my pups and I would definitely use her again in the future! Some nice pictures of them during the visit, a detailed report, and message. It's hard leaving your fur family at home but it was made easier knowing they were in great hands with Lynsey!”

“RaeLynn has been such a blessing. Tribe has major anxiety due to trauma he suffered as a puppy, As a result he requires a lot of patience and honestly he just needed someone to see the sweet and loving boy that he truly is. I was really nervous to try rover, but reading RaeLynns profile I felt confident that my baby would be in good hands given her experience and training. And I was absolutely right. We ran into a few bumps along the way but through each step Tribe was treated with patient understanding, love and kindness. I am so grateful and will 100% be contacting RaeLynn for our future sitter needs. Thank you so much”
