“I am pleased with the care my 3 labradoodles & 2 terriers and 2 cats by Alex. They looked happy in the photos she sent us. I went back home for my aunt’s burial. It was a sad occasion but I did not have to worry about my pets. I knew Alex was there taking care of them with her kindness. We will continue to use her service because moving to the valley I have not found someone else to care for them in order to get away for a long weekend. I highly recommend her. She loves animals and it so kind and charming to meet in person.”



“Nathalie F. was amazing! My two dogs were happy and healthy when I got home. The house was exactly as I left it, clean and well taken care of. She communicated well throughout the week too. I really couldn't have askes for more. I'll definitely use her again.”


“Tiffany was a great cat sitter, I would definitely recommend 10/10 couldn’t have asked for better as it was my first time using Rover. definitely going to be re booking when I’m out of town.”


About: From vet clinics to cozy couches, I’ve spent over a decade loving on animals of all kinds—starting as a dog sitter at just 10 years old. Today, I work at a veterinary clinic, where I care for pets day in and day out, learning how to understand them beyond words. Whether it’s a puppy full of wiggles or a senior pup who just needs a soft place to rest, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. I offer extended stays, consistent routines, and lots of cuddles—because I know how important it is to find someone you truly trust. At home, I have two cats and a sweet pup of my own. I deeply believe animals are a gift—and it’s our job to speak up and care well for those who don’t have a voice of their own. With me, your pets get more than a sitter—they get someone who sees them, loves them, and shows up for them every time. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I work at a veterinary clinic, so I’m used to being around animals every day and caring for pets with all kinds of needs. I’m available for evenings, weekends, and extended stays, and I plan my schedule to make sure your pets get the time, love, and attention they deserve. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer stay, I’m happy to help and always aim to make your pets feel safe, calm, and cared for. I do my best to make your pet’s time with me feel as close to their normal routine as possible—mealtimes, walks, play, and rest all stay consistent so they feel safe and secure in their own space. At the same time, I love adding a little “vacation fun” to our time together—extra cuddles, a few new toys or games, and lots of love. My goal is to keep your pet relaxed, happy, and well cared for, all while respecting your home and their everyday rhythms

About: I have owned and cared for animals my whole life. Dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs etc... I worked for several years at a Vet hospital as a vet assistant and kennel attendant. I have done vet work on my own animals many times. i had a diabetic dog that got twice daily shots of insulin. i can give meds, shots and most things your dog may need. I have owned terriers for many years so I am very familiar with their feisty attitudes. I groomed my own dogs for many years so if you need them brushed out while you are gone or when you drop them off I can do that. Whether you bring them by or I come to you be assured I will love them like they are my own.

“Best babysitters by far!🤎This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone, mind you, he’s a 140 pound big boy but Brando and his mom took the absolute best care of him! I was so nervous at first but throughout the whole time, they were constantly updating me with pictures of my big baby & constantly keeping me posted with any updates as they were also administering meds. Atlas is a high energized dog that requires a lot of attention & that is what he got on this mini vacation! There is no one else I will be going with moving forward to take care of Atlas! I will 110% return! Thank you for taking care of my big baby🐶”
