“I can't say enough good things about Samantha! She was absolutely incredible with my two kitties. Samantha arrived at reasonable times twice a day to feed them while I was away, and her attention to detail was impressive. She listened to all my instructions carefully, ensuring my fur babies were well taken care of. It was clear that the kitties loved her! I would give her a 10/10 and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a cat/pet sitter!”

“Emily is simply amazing, she exceeded our expectations by far. She was prompt, thorough and very attentive in her check ins with my cat. Will definitely be a repeat customer of hers.”

“Marlyn was great with my anxious pup. Violet was nervous when she came in and Marlyn took the time to make her comfortable. She provided visit photos and it was clear that violet was happy and relaxed with her. I will definitely work with her again!”


“Karlina did an excellent job with our spicy cat who wasn’t feeling his best! I think she’s great for those of us who have special needs kitties. Linus might not have shown appreciation for her efforts, but I will!”

“Heather was wonderful! She took great care of our three cats, and we really enjoyed the daily updates. She made it possible for us to relax on our vacation. We will definitely book Heather again in the future!”

“Mariya was fantastic caring for my elderly dog! She was able to take my request on very short notice and took great care of him while I was away! Thank you!”

About: I watch my parents dogs often and have grown up around animals for my whole life. I also watch friends dogs and will let them out during the week I work remotely, so most of the day when I don’t have any meetings with my clients, I am able to get out of the house and let out your dogs and play with them while you are away! I have a pet friendly apartment complex with a dog park in walking distance and a big green lot for the dogs to play and use the bathroom.
About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve worked with playful puppies, shy rescues, and older dogs who need a slower, more gentle approach. I’m especially patient and attentive, whether that means reinforcing basic training, sticking to a detailed routine, or just giving extra cuddles and reassurance. What makes me different is how much I truly treat every pet like family. I don’t just “watch” pet, I bond with them. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. I am currently a graduate student doing all online classes, so my schedule can quite be flexible! I have reliable transportation as well. I only have hour long workouts that can be moved to whatever time preferred. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or specific preferences, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. Safety is always a top priority. I’m careful to secure doors and entry points to prevent escapes, keep the environment clean and hazard-free, and respect any household rules you have in place. I also pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice if anything seems off.
About: I have owned, fostered, and volunteered with animals for over 10 years. Not only that, I have experience with providing animal therapy in a clinical setting for the last two years. Dogs and cats hold a big piece of my heart and I genuinely love to accommodate to their needs. I have experience raising puppies and kittens, taking care of elderly cats and dogs, and dogs and cats that have behavioral problems. I am familiar on how to care for dogs that have aggressive tendencies, anxiety, and hip problems. Likewise, I have experience handling cats with aggression and timidness. I am a small business owner and have days where I work from home. I could use that time to not only make extra money, but spend time with dogs and cats as well! I make sure to provide as much affection, activity, and attention to my pets to the best of my ability. Which I ensure the same treatment is given to your pets too. Depending on what service you would like me to provide, I am more than happy to go on long walks with your dog, offer enrichment, or maybe you have a lapdog that just needs a temporary companion. I am dependable and have the experience and genuine care and trust to ensure your pet has the best experience possible.

About: Dog walking and pet sitting was my first job growing up, helping neighbors and friends with their pets. I’ve always had a love for animals and grew up around dogs, so spending time with them comes naturally to me. I believe pets are family, and I take extra care to treat each one like my own, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I currently have multiple days off mid-week which allows me the flexibility to help out while you are at work on out of town. Currently I’m not available to host at my home, although I do have two cats, and had one dog until she passed away last year; they all run a tight ship.
“Carina is amazing and very professional. My cat is generally shy around strangers, but he warmed up to her right away. I recieved great and descriptive updates, and will definitely be using her services again. Further, Carina is extremely responsive, and was able to fit me in last minute. I highly recommend Carina!”

“Cayley was amazing. She did everything we asked and more to make Bruce feel comfortable. She is very good with communication and very friendly. I highly recommend!”


About: I have a heart for animals and ensuring that they are well taken care of! Growing up, I had dogs at home that helped improve my care techniques and desire to continue working with animals. I am working part-time at the moment, but would love to care for animals outside of work! My schedule is flexible and I would be willing to adjust to the needs of pets and their owners! I absolutely loving caring for pets and would be so happy to give them undivided attention to play, rest, etc. Their needs will always be priority!
“Kayla is such a great rover! This was my first experience with rover and I was so very pleased with our experience with Kayla. She was very communicative and responded quickly. I loved the daily pictures she sent too! She went above and beyond!”

About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reliable companion while you're away, I strive to provide attentive, loving care tailored to their individual needs. I work from home so I can prioritize your pets needs around the clock. My schedule can work seamlessly with puppies or small dogs that need frequent bathroom breaks. At home, I care for my own dog like family. I have a Frenchie who I absolutely adore, and her daily routine includes regular walks, playtime, and visits to the park so she can stay active and social. She’s very friendly, gentle, and loves being around other dogs, so she’s a great example of the calm, positive environment I aim to provide for any pets in my care
“This was our second time booking with Destany, and she was wonderful! Destany was very flexible, made efforts to best accommodate our pet’s needs, and is always incredibly professional. We will continue to book with her in the future! :)”
