Holly was awesome with Luna and helped me out on short notice! She was reliable and provided me with great updates so I knew my fur baby was doing OK while I was away.

Kristina gave exceptional care to Contessa. She gave dedicated attention and reassurance to a rather anxious senior dog. She is a trusted sitter.

Madison was amazing with Flash! She helped us out a lot by giving him lunch and taking him outside during the week. Would definitely book again! She is quick at communicating, thoughtful, and cares about all of the little details when it comes to your pet.

The dictionary defines the word remarkable as, worthy of being or likely to be noticed especially as being uncommon or extraordinary. However Willow and I define it as Katherine. She is good with keeping you updated, time management of walk to playtime, and her pictures of your pup will leave you with a smile!!

About: At a young age, I began to understand and care for our pets and those of friends and family members. I’ve learned how to be patient, kind, and active in order to provide the best care for dogs of various ages and sizes. Living in an apartment now post college, I’ve quickly realized how much I miss the joy and love a dog can bring. I would be incredibly honored to care and provide the most love to your furry family members! I do have a hybrid work schedule but it does come with flexibility to work around any at home requirements. I’ll typically be out of town Monday through Thursday, and have Friday through Sunday available at home. If given enough advance notice, I can manage my schedule to fit around your pets schedule. My work events can change weekly, so planning ahead of time is essential. When I’m not on the road, I work from home and have the ability to care for pets around the clock. My apartment complex is pet friendly, and there are many dogs that live throughout the building. There is an open grass area where many of them do their business, but I do prefer to walk around the block to give your dog more to sniff and space to choose where they’d like to “go”. There are also many local parks that I enjoy going to for little adventures! Since I will likely be working from home while caring for your pet, I will be able to provide 24 hour care and understand their needs throughout the day. Over the weekends, this will also be provided, as I typically stay home and go out around the area locally only.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for them has been a big part of my life since I was young. I currently have a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd, so I’m very familiar with high-energy breeds and spend countless hours walking, playing, and reinforcing positive behaviors through consistent training. I genuinely enjoy being outdoors, and spending time with animals brings me a sense of calm and happiness, which translates into patient, attentive care for every pet I look after. I’ve also cared for a variety of dogs and cats while their owners are away, so I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give to each pet. Whether it’s an energetic walk, playtime, or a calm drop-in visit, I treat every animal as if they were my own. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet will be in loving, reliable hands. I’m a full-time teacher with a consistent daily routine. I’m up early each morning for walks, and I’m home right after school to spend time playing with my dog. My schedule allows me to provide dependable morning, afternoon, and evening care. I’m also fully available on weekends, holidays, and throughout the summer, which gives me plenty of flexibility to help care for your pets while you’re at work or away on vacation. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routine. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. I’m attentive to each pet’s energy level—whether that means long, active walks and play sessions or a calm visit with plenty of affection. I use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior and can help maintain any training you’re already working on. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, mental stimulation, and exercise. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things clean and organized. I’m happy to help with basics like refreshing water, feeding, litter box or yard clean-up, light grooming, and, of course, lots of pets and cuddles to keep them happy and relaxed while you’re away.

About: Over the past four years, I have house-sat a multitude of times for all types of animals; birds, dogs, and even cats. I make sure that they get lots of love and playtime when I'm with them and any other requests by the owners. I have administered medicine to pets while I have house sat so there would be no worries while you are away! I have experience with foster dogs as well and volunteer at Animal Rescue Project. I am a college student so I have a very flexible schedule! With my classes, there is plenty of time for me to spend time with your furry friends and give them all the love they deserve while you are gone! When at your home, I'll make sure that your pet(s) gets fed on time, takes long walks, is let out when needed, and gets plenty of time to play. I also love to take pictures to send when you're away because everyone needs to see their fur baby while they are away. As the owner of two dogs, I understand the importance of wanting someone that you can trust to take care of your loved ones and I always make sure I provide the service and time that I would want for my pets.

About: I love taking care of dogs, and at any chance I get I offer friends and family help with dog walking and watching. They bring so much joy into our lives, they deserve to be happy too I am in school for social work, and lack availability on Monday nights only. Otherwise my school schedule is asynchronous and I can work around your schedule easily. I pay great attention to detail and will make sure to personlize my walk routine, excercise needs, feeding schedule, and more. Safety is my main concern, and I will respect all house rules to a fault.

Lauren did a great job of watching our 2 cats while we were away! One is very shy, and the other is very particular, but Lauren did a great job letting them have their space while also making sure they had food, treats, water, etc. and sending me updates/pics each visit. Our previous rover we have used a couple times before was unavailable so we booked Lauren for the first time fairly last minute, which included visits over the Christmas holiday, so we really appreciated her accommodation. We came home to the apartment looking just as we left it. The cats are both happy for us to be back but seemed to have been well taken care of while we were away. I’d happily book Lauren again next time we need a cat sitter!

About: I've pet sat on and off for neighbors since I was a kid and grew up with dogs and cats in my own home. My childhood dog was the sweetest pitbull so I don't have any preconceived notions about any breed I love them all! I'm currently in real estate photography so I do shoots on and off during the day so if planned I can do stop ins and walks throughout the day. But for longer pet care I can do overnights on weekends. I'm very gentle with all animals but I also know how to handle difficult situations very well. It's very important for a pet owner to know how to deal with aggression/fights, sickness, running from the house, etc. and I've dealt with all of this and more.

Morgen was absolutely amazing. Coincidentally, she lived extremely close to my son, which made the entire process incredibly easy. Morgen always submitted photos of my son two cats to assure us, they were happy and doing well, considering the one routinely loves to hide. Morgen was also extremely respectful of my son's Vision Impairment. She left the apartment very clean, yet did not unnecessarily move anything to avoid confusion upon my son's return. Morgen was very gracious in her flexibility as we had a family emergency and needed to adjust the schedule at the last moment. I would most certainly request her again and 100% recommend her to anyone needing a loving cat sitter.

Paula is fantastic!!! I had a pet siter set up for my home but she had to cancel at the last minute. So instead I took my pups with me to my VRBO and hired Paula at last minute notice. We did the meet and greet and my girls Gabby & Gracie immediately loved her. She did a few drop in visits while I was at my conference and eased my anxiety that they were in a strange home without their mom. I would recommend you hire Paula, she will treat your pets like family.
