About: I’ve cared for animals since I was 11—everything from cats and dogs to hermit crabs and turtles. I specialize in gentle handling, senior care, and puppy patience. Animals feel safe with me. I’m currently in school part-time for wildlife ecology, so animals are a big part of my life and schedule. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I live on a quiet, abandoned golf course with two dog parks nearby—plenty of safe, open space for pets to play, explore, and feel at home.

“Josh was FANTASTIC! Quick and clear communication when booking, even came for a meet and greet beforehand! Got pictures daily so we knew our pets were safe and happy - which is always a big relief when we have to travel. Our house was the same as we left it, clean! We'll definitely be booking with Josh again - it was well worth it!”


“Sia did an excellent job taking care of Kaylee for a week while on vacation. Was able to get in touch with her as needed. She sent a daily picture of Kaylee and any updates. Would hire her again in future outings.”


“I have never used a pet sitting service before and I can honestly say that I couldn't be more pleased. Kenneth was the absolute best!! He kept me updated with daily text and pictures. He even washed the rug after Gidget had an accident and my house was exactly the way I left it. Kenneth will always be my first choice. If you want the best, then hire Kenneth. You will not be disappointed.”


“Christina was great with our dog and cat. She kept to their schedules and stayed at our place for several nights. You couldn't even tell she had been here. We wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”


“Great sitter! I’ve worked with Nikayla a few times now and she’s been great! I do not worry about the safety or well being of my pups when she’s taking care of them! I will continue to book with Nikayla! She’s great!”


About: I’m an animal lover who enjoys playing and cuddling with fur babies. I’m open to meeting the individual and unique needs of every animal I care for.

Pet care is my life an I take care of my furbabies all day. I love to rescue or help any animal in need. ❤️ I treat them like my babies or furry children.

“Alison was very laid back and easy going. She made the accommodations we asked for and sent up pictures of our pup while we were away. The animals seemed very content and well taken care of when we returned. Will definitely hire again!”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of experience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals of all ages and needs. We currently have our own dog park on SniffSpot. We love meeting all the different dog friends! I have hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and care. I’m comfortable administering medication, following special diets, and sticking to training routines, whether it’s crate training a puppy or assisting with mobility support for an older dog. Beyond basic care, I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment where pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like family, and I always go the extra mile to make sure their routines are followed and their personalities are embraced. I work from home and my daughter is homeschooled so we are available to make your pets feel welcomed & have lots of fun! We would love the opportunity to care for your pups! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency with their routine. In your home: I make sure your pet stays in their familiar environment, following their regular schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I provide plenty of companionship and send regular updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I also keep your home tidy and respect your space as if it were my own. In my home: I create a welcoming, stress-free space that’s pet-friendly and secure. I limit the number of pets I care for at one time to ensure each one gets lots of individual attention. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible and provide lots of play, cuddle time, and outdoor breaks. We have a fenced in yard with acres to run! My home is a calm, loving place where your pet will feel safe and cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was young but I’ve also watched almost every kind of pet including dogs, birds, fish, alpacas and chickens. I love and care for them as if they were my own. My job allows me to work whenever I’m free so I’m available to watch your furry friends whenever you need me and give them my undivided attention! I can take care of your pets anyway you need me to, I can take them for long walks, administer medication, and fulfill any other requests that will bring you and/or your pet peace of mind while you’re away.

“Izabella was a wonderful animal / house sitter. She was super communicative, sent pictures daily of our fur babies, and was very flexible with us. She also left our home clean and even made time to wash the sheets and remake our bed! We are excited to book our next trip knowing our fur babies will be in great hands.”


About: I’ve had pets my entire life and I’ve always wanted to work with animals. I started out my career as a Pet Care Associate at a pet store, then at an Animal Hospital, then I went on to be a Vet Tech and Dog/Cat Groomer. I am AKC SAFE certified and have taken many animal handling and care classes. Taking care of pets is my passion. 💜 I’m available to do morning check ups before nine am and evening/afternoon check ups after two pm. I’m also available all day on Sundays and Mondays and every evening. I am able to watch your pets from the comfort of their own home and follow any and all instructions or preferences you provide. If your pet needs to be walked, I am very happy to do that as well.

About: Hey friends, old and new! My name is Erika and I am purrfectly pleased to be here! I can't wait to meet you and spend time together! Before that, let me tell your parents a little about myself so they know you are in the best hands! As someone who grew up in rural America, taking care of all kinds of animals was just a way of life. Once I grew up and left for the big city, I knew that love I had built over the years needed somewhere else to go. In 2012 I began volunteer work with a local rescue as a canine and feline socialization expert helping to prepare dogs and cats for their future homes and set them up for success. From there, I expanded my volunteer efforts to include adoption event handling, pet transportation, and short and long term fostering. In 2015 and 2016 respectively, I adopted two dogs of my own from the local pound, Maesie a small breed terrier mix, and Marah a medium size bully breed mix. Since their adoptions, Maesie and Marah have been the lights of my life and we have gone on countless adventures, road trips, to beaches, restaurants and bars, parks, and everywhere in between. They have also help me care for and socialize 9 foster dogs and over 20 foster cats and kittens since 2016 that have all since found wonderful new homes. One of the kittens even weaseled his way so deep in each of our hearts that I knew his new home had to be with us, and in 2021 Bo Beryl became the third and final edition to my little family. Through my extensive volunteer history, I have become skilled at caring for all different breeds, ages, and personalities of pets, as well as feel confident administering basic medical care including oral medications and basic pet first aid as well as have experience dealing with pets that have reactivity concerns. Now that Maesie and Marah are in their golden years at 10+, they much prefer the couch and an extra snack to walks and playtime 9/10 and have gladly told me they are willing to share their mom a little bit once again! When it comes to boarding, I have a separate room for your cat or dog to spend time in that my resident pets do not have access to. Cats will not interact with my personal pets. Dogs may or may not interact with my personal pets, depending on your preferences and needs. As a pet mom myself, I know how important it is to be able to trust someone with the care of your babies and can assure you that if you allow me that honor I will love them just like you do! I am a full time public school teacher which allows me primarily weekend and holiday flexibility, as well as afternoon/evening flexibility and early mornings as needed. During the week, I can typically do walks and check ins before school as early as 6am-6:30am, or in the afternoon anytime after 3pm until 10pm. I am flexible on weekends and major holidays/school holiday breaks. **FOR HOUSE SITTING ONLY** I offer semi-overnight services on Friday and Saturdays that include extended visits of 2 hours in the evening between 6pm-10:30pm, 60 minutes in the morning between 6am-10:10am as well as an afternoon relief break for 20 minutes between 10-2. Weekdays I offer semi-overnight services that typically include: A 20 minutes morning visit between 4am-6am, a 30 minute afternoon visit between 3pm-5pm, and a 2 hour bedtime visit between 6-930pm. Timing will align so that dogs are never left longer than 10 hours without a relief break. This schedule can also be modified to include shorter more frequent relief breaks/visits at 20 minutes each around 6am, 3pm, 6pm, and 9pm. Overnight hours run 24 hour segments so each booking includes one morning, evening, and two afternoon visits. Due to the nature of my business offering semi-overnight services, this option will work best for clients who are more shy or independent, or who may not need 24/7 care but would like to bundle and make the most out of their drop in time! Please inquire with any questions, happy to try my best to accommodate your needs! I understand that safety and trust are essential when allowing someone into your home to care for your pets. As someone working within the Public School System, you can rest assured that I take both safety and trust incredibly seriously and have completed multiple background checks and fingerprint checks outside of the Rover platform within the last 3 years. I have never been involved in any matters, criminally or civilly, and will put respect, cleanliness, and security at the forefront of my mind while servicing you and your pets needs for checkins and walks from your home.

“Felicia was so great watching our dog! She offered to do a meet and greet beforehand which was really helpful in making me more comfortable with having her in our home and seeing that our dog was okay with her. Felicia took pictures and some videos everyday, and sent them to us. She took Abby on a few hikes/walks and I really appreciated her involvement in doing that. I totally recommend Felicia! We’ll book her again!”


“I hired Rachelle to house sit with my Corgi for Labor Day weekend. She kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures. I would love to use her again in the future!”


About: I've been a teacher for 25 years and I like animals more than kids! Lololol!! I've had dogs, cats, fish, prairie dogs, hamsters - and 3 kids and 4 grandkids. Your babies are safe with me, I absolutely promise to take care of yours like I take care of mine. I am off for the summers, so I am very much available right now. Just came back from vaca, and no plans to go anywhere else so I am also available on the weekends! I can come to your home, I happen to have a roommate right now so bringing them to my home wouldn't be available at this moment.

Shelisha F.Star Sitter
“Shelisha is a caring and compassionate person towards people and pets. She has this ability to connect with animals that is truly amazing and endearing. They seem to establish a connection with her almost instantly. I think it has to do with how sensitive towards her and the animal's emotions she is and animals are able to pick up on that. Shelisha has been a great care giver to many pets in the past and will continue to deliver this with a positive frame of mind.”

Lucia R.
“Lucia is the best dog sitter we have ever had. She is careful and kind. She follows directions perfectly. She gave our dogs a lot of safe, supervised outside play time.

Highly recommend!”
