“Lori is ALWAYS on time and does exactly as we discussed. We added a dog to our fur baby family (cats), and we were nervous about leaving her for the first time. Lori is just amazing, she sent photos of walks, fetch and bedtime. We feel very fortunate to have Lori care for our pets when we can't. We will call on Lori every time.”


About: I know that our pets are our babies and I want to help people feel at ease about their pets care while they’re away. I’m happy to keep your pets happy. I do all my working from home currently so I have plenty time to visit your pets. I wake up and walk my German Shepard a mile in the mornings so going and walking your dog is already routine. I will always start my visit by playing and loving on the pets to remind them I’m their buddy that’s there to take care of them. If they need feeding, I always sit with my dogs while they’re eating so I’ll do the same for yours. I respect my neighbors and I love pets. Your house and pets are in safe care with me

“Claudia helped me out a lot while I was away! Last minute booking for 2 drop ins in a day... she responded quickly, gave updates, and took a cute video of her time with my babies! I appreciate your help, you relieved a lot of stress and worry I had about my pups being alone! 10/10 recommend and will definitely be using other services of hers soon!”


“This was the first time we left our dog with someone other than family and I was so nervous! Omg! Taylor and Justin were amazing with him! Now we have sitters for him and can relax when we need to travel. We know he is in good hands! I highly recommend them! Thank you Taylor and Justin, for taking such good care of Peanut!”



“Lori is amazing! She is super sweet and super understanding. She did wonderful taking great care of my fur babies while away and messaged me letting me know how they are with pictures. One of my fur babies is timid with new people but she was able to get her very comfortable quickly. They are my babies so leaving them was so hard but she made me feel so much better about the whole process. Definitely recommend her and will definitely ask for her help in the future.”



“This was our first time using rover & Steph exceeded all of our expectations! She updated us every time she left & sent tons of pictures of my dogs! We will definitely be using Steph again in the future!”


“Laura was wonderful with my babies. She sent photos of the dogs outside. She followed directions on their food/water feeding. She is very trustworthy, pays attention to detail. Laura was within the timeframe we discussed, she text me when she saw it appeared someone else had been in my home. (I failed to inform her a domestic keeper would also be there at times) I will definitely be using her again.”


“Suzanne’s very kind and gave lots of pictures and information about my sweet boy. He is definitely a wild puppy and she spent time with him and cared for him well. I felt confident leaving him in her care and will book again for sure!”

About: Hi! I’m Alondra—a lifelong animal lover, a U.S. Army reservist, and aspiring nurse who brings discipline, empathy, and heart into everything I do. I treat every pet like family, taking the time to understand their quirks, routines, and favorite belly rub spots. Whether your pup needs high-energy playtime, a slow and gentle walk, or medication on schedule—I’ve got it covered with care and precision. With me, your pet will never feel like “just another booking.” You’ll get regular photo updates, detailed reports, and the peace of mind knowing your furry friend is safe, loved, and happy. Let’s make their tail wag together! As a reservist Army service member, I follow a structured schedule, which actually helps me stay organized and consistent in providing top-quality pet care. I typically start my days early and have time in the afternoons and evenings—perfect for walks, feedings, playtime, or drop-in visits. My weekends are more flexible, allowing me to do extended stays or longer visits when needed. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and meds—so they feel safe and stress-free. I keep your space clean and give them my full attention. If they stay with me, I provide a calm, loving environment where they’re treated like family with plenty of play, cuddles, and care.

About: When I was younger, I enjoyed observing dogs and their loyalty to their families. I want them to be able to feel the same when they are in my care. I have one pup of my own and sometimes I feel at times she is too comfortable, but that also reminds me that she feels safe. Friends and family know they can always count on me when it comes to there pets, big or small. I look forward to meeting some new families and fur friends. 🏳️🌈 Friendly I have a full time job but I live close enough to my home where I am able to let my dogs out in the mornings, lunch, evenings and before bed during the week but I am available all day during weekends. I have a lot of different toys/balls for all to play with along with a doggy pool/sprinklers for warmer days. When fur babies are staying in my home, they will be left out inside the homeduring the day but properly crated if not potty trained at night.

About: I've grown up around dogs my entire life. I have lots of experience with little dogs including puppy care (as I have four little ones at home), but I have experience with big dogs as well. I am comfortable walking, bathing, feeding, potty training, and any other thing your dog might need! I'm currently working part-time, looking for my next full-time opportunity. My hours are extremely flexible, so I can care for your pet any time you want. When your pets are in my care, I will always make sure they are happy and well cared for. Along with keeping your pet fed, clean, and tired out (I love to play with the pups), I will keep your space clean as well. I am extremely neat so I guarantee I will leave your place (and your pup) the same, if not better, than I found it.

About: Hi! I’m Lucy, and I specialize in gentle, stress-free care for cats and small dogs — with a calm, attentive approach your pets will love. My journey with cats began in 2004 when my family and I found a mother cat and her kittens in our yard. Since then, I’ve personally cared for cats of all ages and personalities — playful, shy, independent, and cuddly. I’ve also grown up with dogs since I was born, and I enjoy offering the same level of thoughtful, loving care to pups with calm temperaments. Whether it’s a cat curled in a sunny spot or a little dog who needs quiet companionship, I create a safe, peaceful environment for them to feel secure and happy. 🐾 What I offer: Drop-in visits with feeding, litter box/potty care, gentle play, and affection Calm, respectful care with no large or high-energy dogs Medication administration (if needed) Daily updates and photos Extra love for seniors, kittens, or special-needs pets I’m patient, reliable, and committed to keeping your pets' routines as close to normal as possible while you’re away — because they’re not just pets, they’re family. Let’s chat! I’d love to learn more about your furry companions. 🐾 I'm available for drop-in visits between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and also offer weekend availability upon request — perfect for mid-day feeding, litter box or potty care, and quality companionship. Whether your cat is independent or affectionate — or your small dog is calm and cuddly — I tailor each visit to their unique personality and needs. I'm a reliable, gentle sitter with a calm presence and lots of love to give. Need a sitter during your workday or a short weekend trip? I'd be happy to care for your cat or small dog while you're away. I prioritize creating a calm, secure environment during every visit. By carefully following care instructions and maintaining your cat’s — or small dog’s — routine, I help reduce stress and keep them comfortable in their familiar space. My hands-on experience with cats since 2004, and a lifetime around small dogs, has given me a deep understanding of their behavior and emotional cues. I respond with sensitivity, respect, and reliability to ensure every pet feels at ease. I believe trust begins with clear, consistent communication — that’s why I always provide honest updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you're away. Every animal is different, and I tailor my care to their individual personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe, seen, and well-loved in your absence.

About: I have had dogs since i was a young child. I have cared for dogs outside of my own for about 15 years. I became a foster for several rescues 4 years ago, and have plenty of references from rescues to vouch for my abilities in caring for animals. I run my own company for schedule is always flexible. I also train simple commands and work on potty training while i have them in my care. I own my business and can become available at pretty much any time. Weekends, we typically play softball, but the dogs go out with us most of the time. I offer many options- i have an acre of fenced in yard and porch that your pup can run free in while they hang out with my 2 friendly male labs & 1 female golden retriever….(they also have access to inside via dog door). I can also crate your pup should you choose. I am considered a medical foster/caretaker and can keep your pup while they are injured/post surgery/etc. I also have plenty of experience with mamas and their puppies.

“Jasmine B. was a life saver for my 2 labs and my 2 cars. One of my Labs has anxiety and needs someone to love on him daily. Jasmine was so kind and loving yo all my babies. She sent me pictures and I could see their tails wagging and they were calm and content. I will use Jasmine again.”
