“We used Kelly for the first time and were so impressed! She arrived right on time, kept us updated with great communication, and even sent us adorable photos during the walk. Super professional and easy to work with — we’ll definitely be booking again”
“Stefanie was great! My cat is not an easy customer but Stefanie got the job done exactly as I asked, while giving my kitty the space she needs. I was able to have peace of mind while I was away on vacation.”
“Morgan was so wonderful with our last minute request to walk our dog. She was great at communicating, wonderful with our dog and the time she spent with him. If he could talk I know he would say he misses her : ) Thank you Morgan”
“I am very happy with Jack's service. I got home and my princesses were happy and well. She had lots of patience to deal with Nina's snoring and Luna's barking out of the blue haha. Already scheduling her next stays ❤️🫶🏼🐶💝🐶”
About: I have mostly had experience with cats since my family has had them almost my whole life. However I have been around dogs a lot! I have walked them many times and cleaned up after them as well. I would love to gain more experience with caring for dogs and am very affectionate with all animals, especially the cuddly ones :) I am currently working part-time, so I have a lot of opportunities to check up on your pets! I am open to checking on them anytime, but would prefer midday and evening checkups to very early or late ones. I am very gentle with all animals but can be assertive if necessary. I will follow all of your requirements as best as I can to make sure you and your pet are happy!
“My first time using Rover and I was fortunate to select the perfect sitter for my Lab Charlie Brown. Margie was great on all accounts- very easy to work with, responsive, trustworthy and knowledgeable about Labs. I like the way she communicates and would highly recommend Margie and will definitely use her again.”
“Lily was hired to stop by and care for my two cats Sean and Master Jeremy while away on a trip. Lily followed all instructions and did a fantastic job. I highly recommend her services as a dedicated and caring cat sitter.”
“TAYLOR IS SPECTACULAR!!! She’s one of the best dog sitters I have ever had. She is so kind and communicates very well. She adores Hank and goes above and beyond to make sure he has a great time. She takes him on long hikes, to the beach and trail walks. She makes sure her feels right at home when he spends the night. She even gave him a bath before returning him to me after a week away. I can’t say enough positive things about her! Hire her and see for yourself!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies and kittens to gentle seniors with special needs. With a lifetime of experience raising and nurturing pets (including bunnies, hamsters, and guinea pigs!), I’ve learned how to tune in to each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’m a stay at home wife. I work part time for my husband so in my free time I love to spend time with my own pup. But love to help out others who may not have a lot of free time of their own. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow your routine to keep things consistent for your fur baby. I’m very detail-oriented and happy to handle feedings, walks, playtime, medication, and extra care for senior or special-needs pets. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is safe, loved, and in good hands.
“Susan was absolutely wonderful to work with and, more importantly, our dogs loved her immediately! She was prompt, personable, and spent a good amount of time with our dogs during a daytime drop in. We would love to use Susan again and highly recommend her services.”

Jeneva L.
“I’ve known Jeneva for years, and one thing that’s always stood out is her deep love and natural connection with animals. She’s owned and cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, and I’m pretty sure chickens with so much patience, compassion, and responsibility. I’ve personally seen how attentive she is to pets’ needs—whether it’s giving medication and special attention to her own senior dogs, handling a high-energy puppy, or just making sure every animal feels safe and loved. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, you truly couldn’t be in better hands.”
