“Katia, was wonderful from our first meet and greet meeting. Skylar wagged her tail immediately when Katia entered the court yard. She provided so many pictures and videos of Skylar. We felt at ease with her watching our fur baby. She stayed overnight for 6 nights and everything went very well. We will be using Rover again when Skylar can’t go on the road trip.”

“Anna house sitting for my three fur babies, two cats and one very shy and anxious dog. Our dog took right to her. She gave us updates to calm our worries. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: (ADDITIONAL DOG RATE IS CHEAPER THAN WHAT IS LISTED) I truly treat every dog like my own, with patience, consistency, and love. I have experience caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, and even anxious pups who don’t usually warm up to others. I’m calm and confident around dogs that might seem nervous or reactive, and I take the time to earn their trust at their pace. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet company, I make sure every dog feels safe, understood, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a student who takes mostly online classes, which means my schedule is super flexible and I’m home a lot. That gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and just being present with your pups. I love building a routine that keeps them happy and comfortable. Whether that’s early morning walks, afternoon cuddles, or bedtime check-ins. Your pets will never feel rushed or overlooked! Whether I’m watching your pets in my home or yours, I always keep their comfort and routine a top priority. I live in a one story home with a huge backyard and pool, perfect for exercise, potty breaks, and a little fun between naps! I do prefer staying at your home so your dog is never stressed.
“Lauren did a great job with our dogs. She handled some complicated medication regimes for one of my fur babies and some other household special requests. She is very responsible and we will definitely book her again if needed in the future!”

About: I believe that the key to care is through kindness and comfort. It is my goal to help your pets feel comfortable and safe at all times. I live in active lifestyle perfect for daily dog walks. I am a nursing student with natural caretaking skills, along with basic understanding of medications, and medication administration. I currently work part-time as a barista. I hope to fill my free time with pet care. My barista job does take up some of my morning availability, but I can work around whats best for you! My afternoons are completely free! Starting with my personal cat care, I have two cats. I clean their litter box, water, and food bowls daily. Always providing multiple accesses to clean water. I’ve had dogs my whole life. I take them on daily walks, and multiple bathroom brakes a day. Always making sure they have clean water, and toys to play with. I would feed them as instructed, of course because each animal is different. With each client I make sure to: send plenty of photos, clean up after them, and keep you updated on your pet!
“Jacy was incredible! She took such great care of my home and my dog while I was away—I came back to a happy pup and a spotless house. She even went above and beyond by doing laundry (after thoughtfully asking if I minded first), cleaned the dishes, put away the ones I’d left in the dishwasher, and maked all the beds. She even took the time to do some training with Joy and now my dog can do new trick and follows commands better. It was such a treat to come home to everything in perfect order. Super responsible, respectful, and kind—highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy house sitter!”

About: Growing up, I have always had cats and dogs in the home. I have always had a passion for caring for animals and being their advocate since they can’t speak for themselves. I am comfortable with all sorts of animals, as I have worked in a small animal veterinary clinic and a wildlife rehab facility. As a recent college graduate, I have moved back home to save up by working a full time job. I am available most friday-sundays all day and outside the hours of 8-5 on weekdays. I am experienced in animal handling and can help the animal feel comfortable, even when the owner is not present. I have dealt with dogs and cats of all sizes and behaviors and am confident in my ability to control.
About: Hi! My name is Jessica, and I am a proud dog mama with a lifelong love for animals. I have been caring for dogs and cats for more than 20 years and understand that our pets are much more than animals—they are cherished members of the family. When you’re away, my goal is to provide the same love, attention, patience, and care that I would want for my own pets. Over the years, I have cared for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, feeding schedules, administering medications, overnight and extended house sitting, senior pet care, puppy care, and supporting pets that experience anxiety, separation stress, or need extra patience and reassurance. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime and belly rubs, or simply relaxing with a familiar companion, I am committed to providing attentive, reliable care tailored to their needs. I know how important communication is for pet parents, so I also provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give you peace of mind while you’re away. As someone who genuinely loves animals, I strive to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions so they can remain comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I have experience caring for puppies and kittens, senior pets, anxious pets, and animals that require medication or extra attention. My primary focus is providing care in your pet’s home, where they can remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. Whether that includes walks, feeding, administering medication, playtime, litter box care, or simply providing companionship, I am committed to treating your pets with the same love and attention I would give my own. As an attorney, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and attention to detail. You can count on me to follow instructions carefully, respect your home, and provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit. If boarding in my home is needed, I can accommodate pets on a case-by-case basis. I have dogs of my own, so visiting pets would be safely separated to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety.

About: With 47 years of life spent alongside animals — dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, hamsters, snakes, and reptiles — I bring a level of experience that’s hard to match. But what truly sets me apart is my background as a paramedic. That training means I stay calm under pressure, notice the small signs that something’s off, and know how to respond. For pets that are elderly, ill, or have special needs, that matters. I have flexible availability, a patient and calm presence, and a deep understanding of anxious animals. If your pet loves to go on long walks on the beach or play in the yard, I’m happy to oblige! If they want all the snuggles, I’m here for that too. You’ll never wonder how your pet is doing — I send frequent photos and updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or a longer stay, I can make it work. My open schedule means your pet isn’t just squeezed into a busy day — they get real time, real attention, and genuine care. For drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, I come to you. Your pet gets to stay in their own comfortable, familiar environment while I provide feeding, playtime, walks, cuddles, and whatever their routine calls for. House sitting means your home is looked after too — giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. In My Home: For doggy daycare and boarding, your pet spends time in a calm, loving home environment. Evenings and overnight stays are warm and relaxed, and daytime care is attentive and engaging.

I have high expectations and I was very happy with Phillip’s service.”
