“Amanda is an excellent communicator and reliable person to look after your pets ? She kept us updated daily and braved FREEZING temperatures to make sure our babies were ok when we were away. ‘Highly recommend her. Thank you, Amanda!!”



About: I am not currently working so I have all the time in the world to dedicate to the pups! In general I'm quite flexible, I like to fly by the seat of my pants. Within the past 9 years my brother got a Basset Hound, (who has since passed), my parents got a German Shepherd, (who has since passed), and I got a Shepherd/Hound rescue pup. Man so I miss having pup around! I've quickly become the dog sitter because I like dogs more than people! I am very comfortable with big dogs and open to working with smaller dogs. I love taking long walks with the pups. If the dog is willing I love to teach them new things! I have all of the patience in the world for dogs. They are and will always be my number one priority at all times. I will respect and follow any rules or guidelines you have knowing full well how much work goes into training and wouldn't want to cause any set backs. I'm a stay at home mom of a 5 year boy. He goes everywhere with me and is also amazing with dogs. So if your dog just needs some company or a nice walk, I'm your girl! I care for any pet as if it were my own. Any specific directions given to me will be followed to a "T". I know how important pets are and I treat them as such.

“Kylee was amazing! We loved your attention to detail and instructions, your care and love for Otto, and your open communication with me throughout and/or when needed! Nothing but amazing things to say, looking forward to the next booking!”


“She's been so reliable and punctual and keeps in touch about everything! Even extra photos!! Thrilled with Sabrina! And my dogs are tired out at the end of day thanks to their mid day exercise!”


“Patricia has great communication, was on time, and took good care of my little ones while I was away. She made me having to be away from them a little less worry-some. I never had to worry about them not being taken care of and I would definitely book her again.”


“Having to leave when I had a sick cat at home was very stressful to me, but I wanted to keep him at home with his sister to keep his stress levels as low as possible. Nadia did an amazing job with both of my cats and was amazing with the sick one, patiently giving him the medication and fluids he needed daily and respecting his needs as well to keep him calm. I couldn't ask for more than someone who cares for my babies like their own and Nadia provided that for me. I will remember her for the next time I need to take a trip for sure!!”



About: Its been 3 years since I’ve last been on Rover due to having a small child so I’m starting out on here all over again ☺️ My daughter is in school and camp now so I have time to help owners who don’t have a flexible schedule make sure their loved animals are taken care of. I have a big dog of my own who stays in the yard most the day or on the couch! He plays great with other dogs & is also a lover. I am a free spirt. I love hiking , trails, or just walking in the neighborhood. I offer hair brushing, bathing animals, nail clipping/grinding, and can brush their teeth if needed. I love taking dogs swimming at lakes and streams, running, and exercising animals are also some other fun things I offer. I’m full of energy & love animals- my favorite animals are horses & dogs. I am a self employed hairstylist so I have time to help since I make my own work schedules. Since I do not have a set work schedule if my services are needed for longer visits I can definitely make that happen. I’m able to start today or tomorrow and am very excited to help with your little family members 🐶🐱Thank you very much Ali Gant I am self employed so my hours are very flexible. I can also run home fast or to your house anytime to let an animal out for their feeding or walk. I have a safe environment and work on safety in others homes. The collar and leash will be put on before the front door opens so no running out the door is possible. Practice sitting before the door opens is a positive start to any walk.

“Our family felt at ease leaving town and our two cats at home, knowing Sofia would do an amazing job taking care of our boys. She did wonderfully communicating her visits, playing with them, cleaning their litter, and restocking food and water- always had fresh water and love! We can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our cats while we were away. We would recommend Sofia to anyone looking for pet care in the future. She also is super friendly and was a pleasure to meet. Thanks, Sofia, for everything!!”


“I can always count on Kaitlyn to go above and beyond expectations. She made sure Kittie was well taken care of, gave get lots of attention, and even vacuums and cleans up the litter that falls out of the box without prompting. She does it on her own which days a lot. I fully trust her and feel confident my animals are taken care of and loved on when she's there!”



About: I’ve taken care of many types of pets including dogs, cats, rats, lizards, and many others. My main skills that I prioritize include basic dog training. Structured walks available. I’m currently full time (work from home) and can be available on the specified days I have listed on my profile. Open to specific requests if needed! I care for pets according to the owners specific situation and requests. Please advise on the rules and they will be followed to the best of my abilities !

About: I’ve been a pet parent for over 20 years. In our home, we have a cat and a senior dog who is friendly with everyone. We have a giant fenced yard for all our furry friends to enjoy and play. I am well versed at caring for all types of pets and those that require extra care. Neighbors and friends ask for my help all the time! I work from home full time M-F and rarely leave home for more than a few hours at a time. I can walk dogs in the morning, evening, and give frequent potty breaks! I have a fenced yard and a dog to keep your fur babies company. I can crate your dog if needed or let them hang out with me while I work. It’s your choice on what I can do to best meet your pet’s schedule!

About: I have experience with kittens, puppies as well as older cats and dogs. I treat each pet as if they are my own. I bring a sense of humor, calming presence and strong work ethic to all of my clients. I am a music teacher who has summers off, so I am available every day. I can be flexible with your plans and scheduling needs. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs of my own that can keep your fur babies company. I am also willing to to crate them if needed or preferred.

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was young. We've always had dogs and my love for them has only grown with each one I meet. Recently, I've discovered caring for cats has become a passion as well. I believe all animals deserve the best treatment with zero aversives and 100% love, patience, and kindness! I am currently unemployed and in school for dog training, so I am always around and available to help care for your pets! I love being outside and try to incorporate that into my everyday life as much as possible. I care for pets as I would my own. I make sure they have clean water, food is filled, and have snacks (if provided), and multiple walks to ensure they are as enriched as possible until their human returns home.

About: I can care for puppies, and give special tender-loving care to senior or disabled dogs. I am skilled at reinforcing training and giving snuggles. Whether your pet needs just a check-in or you'll be out of town for up to week, I will make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for. My dogs have all been special needs, from my last dog: Rowan, Mini Aussie pup that we got from a little farm who had anxiety, to my first dog Abby who had hip dysplasia. All dogs are welcome in my care. I have a strong arm (even if I don't look like it) and will always give the best doggie care I'm able to! I'm currently taking some time off, and I have very open availability. All requests need to be made 4-5 days in advance, I do not serve areas outside of Saratoga City Limits. I believe that the security and safety both of your home and pet come first. If you have special requests please make them known to me. I don't think anyone's home should be treated any differently than the animal that deserves treasuring and nurturing. Your dog will be treated with respect and kindness, their special needs heeded, and their boundaries observed & kept in mind.

About: I love spending time with pets. I previously worked with dogs at a doggy day care for a couple of years while I was in college, and volunteered at a local animal shelter caring for both dogs and cats. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, and I especially love the shy/nervous dogs! I will follow any guidelines you set for your pet’s care, and provide a thorough update with lots of pics. If you are looking for someone you can trust to take care of your pet, I would love to meet your pet! Please set up a meet and greet today. I work Monday thru Thursday full time, and work mornings on Friday, so my availability is limited to Fridays and weekends. Fridays and Sundays are the best days to do meet and greets on, usually during late morning or early afternoon, but I can be flexible if needed. I will treat your home in the same way I would hope someone would treat my own, as I have used this service in the past for my own pets. I don’t mind following any guidelines for how you want me to care for your pet and will respect your house rules.
