“Chyler did a wonderful job. My dogs were very content the whole time and I can tell they were really well taken care of. It makes so much difference knowing my animals are looked after while I am on vacation!!”
About: I have more than thirty years experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve helped family and friends feel comfortable leaving their pets home while on vacation or in the hospital. I have a full time job M-F. While caring for your pet, I may be away for 9 hours during the day. The weekends are much more flexible. Your pet is most comfortable in their own environment. I believe your pet deserves love, play, and comfort while you’re away. That why my mission is simple: making tails happy!
“Sarah was fantastic! Very communicative, sent progress pics and updates, was very respectful of our requests and our home, took great care of our babies, and was a joy to work with! Really recommend booking Sarah for any fur baby needs”
“I wish I had met Jenn a long time ago!! She is very attentive, communicates well and really cares for your pup! She is the best!!! She is definitely someone I would recommend and would keep hiring, always. Thank you Jenn!!”
About: My name is Shania, I’ve been around all animals all my life and from when I was very little I knew in my heart I wanted to take care of them. I have been a veterinary technician for 5 1/2 years now. I graduated with my associates in veterinary science in 2022. Animals have always had a special place in my heart, and caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. It has never been a job, but a calling. I’ve worked with pets of all kinds, from the playful to the shy, the healthy to those with special medical needs. That experience has taught me how to care with both skill and compassion. I started my journey with Rover as a way to continue doing what I love while also being present to raise my daughter. This opportunity allows me to give your pets the same kind of love, attention, and care I give my own family—because that’s exactly what they deserve. With me, your pet will be treated like one of my own, whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or administering medications. I look forward to welcoming your furry loved one into my care! I have four animals of my own. I have one cat and three dogs two of my dogs are littermates. I have a huge heart and I’m willing to add your pet to it. I’ve worked in veterinary medicine for 5 1/2 years but took time off to be a stay at home mom and raise my 6 month old daughter. I miss seeing my clients and their pets on the daily! This allows me to continue doing what I love but also being able to raise my daughter. I am free all day every day so shoot me a message let’s chat and get your babies taken care of! Safety is my biggest priority. I promise to give your pet all that they need, including a good, and positive experience. All animals, all shapes, ages and sizes welcomed ❤️ it doesn’t matter if your pet is spayed or neutered I accept them all!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats (and fish) since I was a toddler! I love reptiles and birds as well. I currently have two dogs and have provided pet care for over 10 years. My husband just retired 20 years from the Air Force so I am brand new to the area and excited for new clients! I’m primarily a stay at home mom. I work part time and make my own hours so I’m very flexible for availability! This helps me take on last minute clients as well. My home is unavailable for care since one of my dogs is a senior pup that isn’t social. However, I am happy to take care of your pets in your home!
“Claire was super nice and responsible. I received updates and when I got home everything was in order and my dog was safe and happy. I could tell that Claire and Otis bonded and he was happy we were home and a little sad to see her go.”
“We were put in a bad spot by our neighbor backing out on us the night before we left for a 2 week vacation when they was supposed to watch our two dogs. Fortunately, we found Alex. He made himself available for our needs. He was very understanding and willing to work with us. He took our request on good faith that the dogs would take kind to him. Alex kept us up to date nearly every day with either an update or a handful of pictures. We can't thank Alex enough for bailing us out of our situation. We would highly recommend Alex and will be rebooking for Alex in the future, but with much more notice next time.”

About: I've pet-sit for many neighbors and family friends over the years, and have grown up in a household where pets are constantly present.

I will prioritize your pet's well-being and safety, as well as maintain their needs by following any diligent schedule restrictions or other such instructions given to me.
