1. Dina H.
“Dina has been amazing with our puppy and senior dog. They both really like her and I'm sure they appreciate her as much as I do. Dina goes above and beyond to fit me into her schedule even at late notice and I know our dogs are well taken care of. I could not be happier with my Rover experience because of Dina!”
2. Katya & Frank S.
“Katya is fantastic! She always does an excellent job every time she takes care of our finicky cat. She follows instructions to the letter and always provides feedback to let us know that she has visited and that all is fine. She goes out of her way to make sure that our pet is cared for. Katya has a way with animals and her kindness and concern for animals are evident on every visit. We give her our highest recommendation.”
3. Taylor W.
“Taylor did another great job with our domesticated (barely) cats. She is very diligent with their care, and she respects our home as though it’s her own.”
4. Erin B.
“Erin is a fantastic pet sitter! She gave us peace of mind while we’re were away on vacation! She was dependable and always on time with her visits. The dogs absolutely loved her and she made sure they had everything they needed and lots of snugggles too! We loved getting the pictures of our pups too! I highly recommend!”
5. Lisa W.
About: I have always loved animals and would pet sit for friends and neighbors from the time I was in elementary school. Dobermans, Dalmatians, mutts… When I was 14 I worked at a kennel for the summer, and later after college volunteered at a wolf sanctuary for 6 years. I grew up with German shepherds and I am currently helping my parents with their 2 shepherd puppies as well as taking care of my foster fail. I work from home 2 days a week and in the office 3 days. This is a little something extra I can do to help keep active and moving. I have a fenced in yard and a separate room where your pet can stay so they are not overwhelmed by my dog and cats. I have a German shepherd size crate if needed.
6. Rebecca J.
“Very flexible and she did a great job taking care of my dog!”
7. Bill M.
“If you're looking for a pet enthusiast, you've found him! Lover of all animals, particularly cats and dogs, Bill has tons of love to give to all creatures. As a former cat and dog owner himself, he gives warm and kind care to the fur children in his care and likes to see them happy, healthy and having fun. He is happy to hang with cats, giving as many head scratches as are wanted and playing with toy birds and string (or whatever the kitties like to bat around!). Bill is also very active and has plenty of stamina and the ability to wrack up many miles for dog walks and tossing a ball or frisbee! You can't go wrong having Bill check on, or take care of, you beloved pets!”

14. Megan A.
“Megan showed up on time, provided adorable photos of my puppy at play, and gave a report on his “activities”. It gave me peace of mind knowing that he was well cared for while I was away. I would recommend Megan without hesitation!”
15. Faith R.
“We were looking for a new sitter as our previous sitter had become too expensive so we met with Faith and decided to book. We went away for 8 days and Faith meticulously cared for our animals. We are very happy with the cost and services received!”

About: I'm not just a caregiver; I'm an adventure companion. With a love for dogs and travel, our walks promise excitement and exploration, giving every furry friend a tail-wagging adventure! From urban strolls to nature hikes, each outing is tailored to their needs, ensuring they return home happy and fulfilled. With my flexible schedule, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. I adapt to meet each furry friend's unique needs, whether it's early morning walks or late-night drop-ins. This flexibility ensures I can accommodate last-minute requests without disrupting their routine. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or my client's, I prioritize their well-being and happiness. In my home, I ensure a safe and welcoming environment, sticking to feeding schedules, and providing ample playtime. Conversely, in a client's home, I tailor my care to your specific instructions, following feeding routines, maintaining familiar surroundings, and offering companionship and exercise to keep pets content and healthy. Each service I offer is customized to meet the individual needs and preferences of both pets and their owners, ensuring peace of mind and the highest level of care.

“If you’re looking for the perfect pet sitter in this area, look no further! Stephanie is such a kind, caring and genuine person! My senior pup has some issues and Stephanie took it all in stride and was so good with her! My neighbors even remarked to me about how gentle and caring she was! She sent very detailed updates and pics. I was able to relax away from home, knowing my dear pup was being very well cared for!”
