Claudia was extremely generous with her time on short notice to watch my high-energy pup. She was extremely communicative, and went above and beyond to check in with updates and activities. I came home to a very content dog! Book with confidence.

Orianne is the best! She is so sweet, caring, calm. Madeline was comforted while we were out, which means the world to us. Madeline was happy to see us, and we could tell she was relaxed. Orianne will be our first call should we need a pet sitter again!

Kaylee is amazing! Moosha loves her, and she’s so easy to work with. She gives updates with fun photos and is just generally a good person. And I’ve been burned before with dog sitters, so my trust doesn’t come easy. But I trust my gut. I’ll definitely be a returning client.

The Best! Wayne and Jordan were amazing with my two rescue huskies while I was on vacation. The dogs are generally very cautious of strangers, and they were going through some sibling rivalry and needed to be kept apart - on separate floors of the house. Wayne and Jordan’s pet-sitting experience and patience were apparent in their daily communications and photos. It was great to see how the girls warmed up quickly! Each pup got lots of attention and exercise, and they were calm and happy when I got home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The icing on the cake - the bedding was all washed and the house was clean when I got home. Highly Recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and truly have never met an animal I didn’t love! From energetic puppies to sweet senior pets, I’m happy to care for dogs and cats of any age. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I love getting to know each one. With a very flexible schedule, I can provide dependable, loving care, plenty of attention, and lots of snuggles while you’re away. I work in a fully remote role with a highly flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether your pets need midday walks, extra companionship, or a consistent presence at home, I can typically work around your schedule and provide attentive, reliable care. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I don’t host pets in my own home because my dog prefers not to have furry houseguests. I’m more than happy to come to your home instead, allowing your pets to stay in their familiar environment and routines while receiving loving, attentive care.

About: Hi! I’m a recent Physician Assistant graduate from EVMS with over 10 years of experience working as a veterinary assistant. Throughout my time in veterinary medicine, I cared for dogs and cats in clinical and boarding settings, including feeding, walking, administering medications (oral and injectable), and assisting with special needs and senior pets. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, including those that may be anxious or require extra care. My medical background also allows me to recognize early signs of illness or distress, providing added peace of mind while you’re away. I have experience with basic grooming such as bathing and nail trims, as well as safely handling pets when needed. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are. I provide reliable, attentive care and will keep you updated with messages and photos during each visit. I offer flexible scheduling, including evenings, weekends, and last-minute bookings I’m currently preparing to start my career as a PA, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m currently preparing to start my career as a Physician Assistant, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as weekends and last-minute bookings. I build my daily routine around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and timely care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and behavior. With over 10 years of veterinary assistant experience, I’m confident handling pets of all sizes and temperaments, including those that may be anxious or require extra care. I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate promptly with you if anything seems off. I treat every home with respect and ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment.

Kathryn is a gem! What I loved the most is that she thought about everything that an owner may want to have peace of mind while away, asked the questions to validate and understand in our meet and greet and then delivered on it. Kathryn was detailed and communicative when it came to her approach with the dogs, and how she managed her time with them. She took them on a field trip! She was conscientious in how she left the house and stayed with the dogs until I returned. I know the dogs were well taken care of and I didn't worry or ever have to initiate contact because Kathryn was so on top of it. Five stars!

We booked Ella last min due to our previous Rover sitter canceling the night before our trip. This is the first time we booked a sitter without having met them prior, so I was a bit nervous. Ella was fantastic, the dogs loved her immediately, she was punctual and kept to their routine/schedule as closely as possible, and provided many updates throughout the week. Would book again!
