My little girl has such a great time when she’s over there and Kristen has a great big yard my pup can run in and smell all the smells and chase all the squirrels and birds, which are her favorite things to do.

“Julie is the absolute best. She took care of Caesar so much I almost get jealous. The daily pictures and all the extra spoiling he got. She’s our new favorite sitter.

About: Hey there! Thanks for considering me for the care of your pet! I have a deep love for animals and years of experience caring for pets of friends/family as well as fostering and training service dogs. Through this work, I’ve learned how to provide patient, consistent care while teaching everything from basic obedience to specialized tasks. I know how to handle all kinds of personalities and create a safe, loving environment where pets can thrive. I work from home, which means I’m available throughout the day to give your pets the attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs a good walk, some playtime, or just a little extra attention, I’m here to help. You can count on me to treat your pets like family and keep you updated along the way! Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. My routine typically includes: >>Morning Walks/Playtime: I start the day with a walk or play session to ensure pets get the exercise they need. >>Midday Breaks: I take regular breaks from work to check in on the pets, provide meals, and offer additional playtime or cuddles. >>Training Sessions: If training is needed, I incorporate short, positive reinforcement sessions into the day. >>Evening Care: The day winds down with another walk or playtime, followed by a relaxing evening together. This structure allows me to ensure pets receive continuous care and attention, making them feel secure and well-loved. >>Communication and Updates: I provide regular updates, including photos and messages, to keep you informed and reassured about your pet's well-being. >>Pet-Proof Environment: My home is carefully pet-proofed to ensure a safe and secure space for pets to explore, rest, and play without hazards. >>Constant Supervision: Since I work from home, pets are never left unattended for long periods, ensuring they receive consistent care and attention. >>Outdoor Walks and Exercise: I regularly take pets out for walks in pet-friendly areas nearby, ensuring they get the fresh air and exercise they need in a safe environment. >>Comfort & Routine: My home is calm and inviting, with cozy resting spots and engaging toys that help pets feel at ease and reduce stress. I also follow the pet's established routine and care preferences, ensuring consistency and comfort. >>Respect for Your Space: I treat your home with respect, keeping it clean and tidy while ensuring your pet feels comfortable and secure.

11. Kayla B.
“Kayla was wonderful with our pup, Ivy. Kayla was attentive to her specific care needs and communicated thoroughly before/during the experience. We've had a number of rover sitters in the past few years and Kayla has been one of the best. She is patient, responsive to unique dog needs, and helps the humans feel at ease while they are away.”

“It can be hard to go away with the stress of leaving your furry friend behind, but Lauren and Nicole totally eliminated that stress for us! They were super easy to communicate and coordinate with. They sent just enough updates to put our hearts at ease and it was clear that they cared for our dog as if he were their own. We can’t say enough positive things about them!”
13. Georgia M.
“The ONLY person I trust with my baby cats. Purely talented in what she does. Extremely kind and careful with them. As a worryaholic I was able to feel content with her and my cats had such a fun time on her catio. They didn’t want to leave!! Thank you again to Georgia because even with one of my cats having massive anxiety they both got so much love and attention. Couldn’t ask for a better catsitter. Will be using her every time !!”
14. Cindy B.
“My 2 little 11 year old Pomeranians felt right at home at Cindy’s house! After our meet and greet, i knew they would be in good hands with her. She has a true heart for caring for animals. They were welcomed into her little pack and enjoyed being there with them! The photos and updates she sent also gave me piece of mind as I could see how much fun they were having! Cindy is the best for those with littler dogs! I highly recommend her!”
15. Josee W.
“Josee was great! Pickup and drop-off could not have been easier. We received regular updates on our trip and also pictures of Rocky and Lilo having fun. Her dogs were great with our dogs and Rocky made a new friend. She had room there to keep them separate if needed but it just wasn't needed, she has great friendly dogs. Ours came back clean and happy!”
