“Jennifer stayed at our house and took care of our three dogs and two cats. We have a 130 lb akita, 55lb everything bagel and our new 20lb terrier puppy. She sent pictures often and followed our instructions. We’ll definitely reach out again.”
“Elle was terrific! We needed care for our 2 dogs while we were gone to wedding. She came over and met us and the dogs ahead of time. The dogs loved her right off. She has a caring personality and they loved that... One of our dogs is a senior diabetic that needs shots. Elly was more than willing to handle that as well as the pills they needed. She sent lots of pictures and notes about how it was going. Everything went well and we plan to request her in the near future. So glad to have someone that we trust with their care.”

“My dog was safe with Eden. Sent me pictures/updates. Only thing was that she wasn’t comfortable taking my dog on a walk. When she usually goes on 2 walks a day. Thought it would be a house not an apartment. She’s new to rover so I understand the confusion for her. Still my dogs and animals were safe and sound when I came home.”
“Paris was great with our dogs. She stayed at our house and left it as clean as it was when we left. She kept in touch with us and sent pictures. Would definitely use her again.”
“Second time having a pet sit for my two pups and it was all wonderful wonderful when I came back it was obvious that they had been well cared for given lots of love and attention.”
About: I have been around animals my entire life and have volunteered at an animal shelter where I socialized puppies and cats. Animals have always been very comfortable around me and vice versa. I am comfortable with all sizes of dogs and breeds. I care very deeply for animals and would love to help you ensure your dogs are getting the exercise and attention they need. I graduated college with a major in veterinary technology at TJC, and currently work as a veterinary technician. I do have a full time job at a veterinary clinic with my days and hours varying. Typically I work 5 days a week with a max of 8 hours a day. Due to this I am unable to be with your pet at all times but would love to spend my free time with them! I make sure to stay in close proximity to the animal and keep a close eye on them while playing with toys to prevent any injury. I am very knowledge on what kinds of things are toxic to both cats and dogs and am able to pick up on signs of possible varying illnesses.
“Thank you so much Zapporah for staying with our fur babies! They were happy to see us but you did an awesome job of taking care of them. Next time we need a sitter, definitely reaching out to you!”
“We have found our favorite fur babysitter! Summer was so attentive and communicative 💛 her photo updates were such a joy and we could tell our fur baby felt so comfortable with her! Looking forward to having Summer watch again when we travel!”
“Mahasin was absolutely wonderful. She took wonderful care of our two dogs and cats, making sure their needs were met and giving them all lots of love. Will definitely use her again!!!”
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life and have been walking and caring for friends and family's dogs for years. I know how to give each pup the attention and exercise they need. My daily routine is very flexible. I'm available every morning and evening for walks, and I build my whole schedule around your dog's needs. Whether it's a quick potty break or a longer adventure, I'll make sure your pup gets the exercise and attention they need. I always care for pets in the client's home. I follow any special instructions you give me, keep your house clean, and make sure all doors and gates are securely closed before I leave. Your pet's safety and your home are my top priority.
“Thanks again for taking such good care of my animals. It’s nice to know I can trust her to take care of them when I go out of town. Angellee even dealt with an ant attack while I was gone.”
“Natalie did a fantastic job with my animals. She fed and took care of their needs as well as loved on them. I came home to 3 happy animals and my house was cared for as well. Thank you so much for loving and caring for my three babies. I will definitely use her again.”
“Sammantha was able to help me at the last minute which is almost never possible for me! She followed everything I asked and my sweet dog was very calm with her. She made sure to send updates and photos. We felt very calm leaving him with her, would recommend!”
About: Through volunteering at an animal shelter, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many kinds of dogs. From senior dogs to puppies! All of which I am capable of caring for. I’m currently a full time student at RCC, I major in music so I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate any of my clients demands. I will play with your pets and give them unconditional love and affection. They will receive a walk and a free treat. If there are special needs or requests, I ask you to let me know.
About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for both dogs and cats, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m a big believer that great pet care is a mix of love, routine, and understanding what each animal truly needs. Whether your pet thrives on long walks, quiet company, mental enrichment games, or a consistent daily schedule, I’m there to make sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I’ve learned a lot about dog nutrition, behavior, and enrichment over the years, so I’m always happy to support special diets, picky eaters, anxious pups, or pets who need a little extra stimulation to feel their best. I follow routines exactly as you set them—mealtimes, meds, walks, play, bedtime rituals—because your pet’s comfort matters most. Most of all, I’m here to give you peace of mind. You’ll get reliable communication, plenty of photo updates, and a sitter who notices the little things. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m free after 1 pm on weekdays and wide open on weekends, so your pet gets plenty of attention whenever you need it. I’m only available for overnights on Fridays and Saturdays but I can house sit till late night on the days I can’t stay overnight. If you’re looking for a time that doesn’t quite fit this schedule, just reach out—I can see if I can make it work with a little notice. A day with me starts by following your pet’s routine—meals, potty breaks, and plenty of snuggles. Dogs get walks, playtime, and mental enrichment, while cats get attention, cozy cuddles, and interactive play. Drop-ins include feeding, meds, and extra love, and house sitting means continuous companionship and care. You’ll always get updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child. My mother and father were both professional dog trainers so I’ve gained much knowledge on how to properly care for dogs specifically. My love for animals has grown into my adulthood even more than ever. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’ve owned and raised many different types of breeds such as Rottweilers, golden retrievers, king cavaliers, Chinese Shar-pei, poodles, and the list goes on. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call or text me. I’d be more than happy to care for your animals when needed.

Leaving my dog home during trips is difficult for me and I’m always a bit worried not just for my very anxious dog, but for the sitter in her care (it’s not for the weak). I appreciate how much attention to detail Jennifer requests and takes into consideration. With my dog being more needy and requiring medication, I can trust that Jennifer is able to handle my baby’s quirks with care, patience, and expertise. Thank you for caring for Ella and keeping her as comfortable and calm as possible during my time away!
Jennifer is super responsible and communicative. She housesit and watched our 2 dogs for the weekend and we couldn’t have been more grateful and happy with her care. Lots of photos and videos were shared with us during the stay, and she was so clean and tidy! Highest recommendation!
Sammantha was able to help me at the last minute which is almost never possible for me! She followed everything I asked and my sweet dog was very calm with her. She made sure to send updates and photos. We felt very calm leaving him with her, would recommend!

Thought it would be a house not an apartment. She’s new to rover so I understand the confusion for her. Still my dogs and animals were safe and sound when I came home.
