Dani did a great job with my pets. I came home to very happy critters. She really goes above and beyond with things like watering plants and getting the mail as well. She was also good about sending me pictures every day. It really gave me peace of mind. I can't recommend Dani enough. Truly top notch care for pets and home.

Kat was amazing!! It was our first time leaving our dog, so we were nervous about how it would go. Those fears very quickly flew away, because Kat went above and beyond in so many ways!! We highly recommend her to care for your fur babies. We will definitely use her again!

About: Hello! Major animal lover here. Recently retired veterinary assistant. Have spent the last 14 years working with dogs and cats in various professional settings: boarding and daycare, animal shelters, high-volume spay/neuter clinics, and full service veterinary clinics. I have also been caring for dogs and cats in my own home since I was a child. I will offer your pet/s compassionate, attentive care. You can count on me to be responsible, reliable, professional, and fun! My schedule is very flexible. At the moment, I am free most days of the week, including evenings/nights. My schedule is very open right now so I should be able to accommodate! I am unable to care for pets in my own home as I have a reactive Aussie mix, BUT, I am more than willing to stay the night or day in your home to care for your pets, following all instructions and guidelines to the T.

Daila is the absolute best! My girls & I loved her. This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have picked a better sitter. She is super trustworthy and very responsive. We received so many updates while on our trip.

Abigail is the best! My dog, Dottie, is a very anxious girl and she warmed up to Abigail after only a couple minutes during our meet and greet. She sent pictures the entire time I was away and took such amazing care of Dottie. I would recommend her for any dogs and will definitely have her comeback to take care of my girl the next time I need an overnight sitter.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, from dogs and cats to lizards and frogs, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I’m an active college student who loves being outdoors, especially hiking and long walks near the parks around me. Whether your pet wants to play, explore, or just relax with some cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for! My schedule is very flexible, which makes pet care easy to fit into my week. I currently work part-time as a hostess, but I’m usually available Monday through Friday throughout the day. Starting June 8, I will be in summer classes Monday-Friday 9 AM to 12 PM. If you need care outside those times, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to work something out! I live in a spacious apartment with access to a fenced-in rooftop yard where pets can safely play and get fresh air. I’m also close to Griffy Lake, so your dog can enjoy fun walks and outdoor adventures with me. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

Mirte was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we connected, she was communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly caring with our home and pets. She went above and beyond in every way, sending regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our pets clearly adored her, and it was obvious she treated them like her own. We came home to a spotless house, happy animals, and everything handled perfectly. Mirte is reliable, kind, professional, and truly one of the best sitters we’ve ever worked with. We would book her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets and home. Five stars all around!

Leah was great with my babies. We have 1 dog that is blind and diabetic. The other 2 can be a handful. She was able to handle giving shots. My babies were sad she didn’t come back. We will definitely be using Leah again

About: I have dog sit for multiple people and loved it! I’ve had dogs all my life and I always walk them, at the moment I have 2 large dogs a pitbull and a hound and I walk them almost daily. I also have a cat who I love! Yes! I wake up let out my dogs and feed them I then take them on a walk and feed them and let them out again that night. I always make sure they have water and food and make sure they get out then they need to. I’ll play with them if they want to play and make sure they get any medication needed.

About: I am currently a proud parent to two cat, so I’m very well versed in their play styles and respecting their boundaries. However I spent my childhood with a loving dog who recently passed away. Navigating his senior years taught me that care isn’t just about walks or treats but about patience, sometimes administering medication, and recognizing subtle cues of a senior pet that may need a little extra comfort. Whether your pet is a high energy pet or senior pet who needs a gentle hand, I provide intuitive, dedicated, and delicate care that I’d want for my own. I’m currently a college student, but have lots of time to care for your pets! I’m available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30 PM-4:00 PM or 5:30 PM-10:00 PM. Thursday- Sunday I’m available anytime after 7:00 PM. Whatever your pets need, I have it covered and their safety is always my number one priority. From double checking that every gate is latched and every lease is secured/correctly on to closely monitoring your pets for any sign of discomfort, ill treat your home and your pets with the highest level of care. Whether it’s following a strict medication schedule or navigating a high energy walk, I’m prepared for any situation!

About: I have always had a love for animals since I was young. I have been around dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. I have volunteered at many dog shelters and have two dogs of my own that I primarily care for. I have great attention to detail, love going on walks, and overall caring for animals in any way that is necessary. I am currently working at homegoods but have a lot of free time on middays and nights. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be perfect for animal sitting and care. I will make sure your animal in comfortable by making sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from the owner. I pay close attention to their behavior so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I keep the environment clean, safe, and comfortable, and I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I also provide regular updates to owners so they feel confident and reassured that their pet is in good hands.

Andria was wonderful. First, she took a week off of her day job in order so spend full time 24/7 with my two dogs; one of which is a puppy and a handful. She took great care of them and provided us with a few updates while we were out of town. When we came back, we found that she had also mopped the floors and our home was much nicer than when we left. She is very sweet and obviously loves what she does.
