“Hailey was great with the cats, even with the one that is scared of everything! She was reliable, responsible, and kept us well updated. I would definitely recommend her to watch your pets!”
About: I was a professional pet photographer for many years, and I have worked at a luxury pet resort. I started accepting Rover bookings in June of 2025. I am available for overnight stays and multi-night stays. I am available on holidays. I will travel out of my area for an additional fee. I will stay with your pets in your home, where they are most comfortable. If they are used to cuddling on the couch with you while you watch television, I will do that. If they are used to being outside a lot, I will take them out (weather permitting of course).
About: I have had dogs ever since i was born. I volunteered at an animal shelter and learned all about dog behaviors. This has helped me better understand them. I am currently a full time student at towson university. My classes go no later than 5pm and start no earlier than 9am. Message me for more schedule information. During the summer I can care for pets either in your home or mine. I have a fenced yard and a great walking trail near me so you’re dog will be happy to stay with me :)
About: Started caring for pets since I was 10. Mostly dogs and cats along with some awesome rabbits. Neighbors, friends and family relied on me to walk, feed, play, administer medicine, clean liter boxes and give good lovin' to their beloved pets ! Lots of experience staying with pets in their home (sometimes for several weeks at a time) or coming to their home several times days for care. Realized that I was born with a natural rapport with animals. Grateful for this ability and nurtured these skills all my life. I'm currently applying for full-time work, so I'll have plenty of time (flexible hours) to love-up on your dearest dogs with walks, play and treats. Of course, belly rubs are included! Haven't had my own pet in awhile, but lived with housemates who have wonderful animal spirits (dogs, cats and bunnies) to brighten their lives and mine. When I've lived with pets, always check they have plenty of clean water and food and, depending on how they are housed, make sure they are safe in their crates or curled up in their favorite spots before I leave. Always make sure that I know where list of emergency contacts and vet info is located.
About: We have had our own animals all of our adult lives and now we'd love to help care for yours. Vacation or travel worry free while we take care of your furry or feathered family. I own a wellness studio in downtown Oakland and Fred is retired. Our schedules are flexible and between the two of us we can accommodate most any need, day or night. We care for your pet in the safety and comfort of their own home. Sticking to their normal daily routine eases stress and anxiety while you're away.
About: I’ve taken care of cats for a year but I also had a cat growing up. When I did have 2 cats they were my world. I enjoyed every minute when I had them. I’m very passionate about caring for cats. I was working full time at the hospital but I’m free every day Monday-Friday until I get the job that I want but after I get that job I’m still available I don’t have a fenced back yard but my neighbor is a pet friendly environment. I’m near a park that is safe for animals as well.
About: My entire life, I have had a dog. Whether it be a hunting dog (well, my dad had those), or an indoor dog, I have always been around them. I currently have an English Mastiff named Roxi, a Shih-tzu/Yorkie mix named Bella, and a mixed breed I rescued named Brutus! I love them more than anything!! My dogs also love it because they love having friends over! :) I strive to give them the best life and always keep them up to date at the vet and groomer. I will not hesitate to make a vet trip if I sense that something is wrong. My two year old twins also love dogs, so that makes it fun for everyone! I am home every day, all day! I work as an on call nurse every other week, so then my husband is home to puppy sit! We love our dogs more than some people love their kids, haha! Our dogs have every necessity they need to live a happy life! Our dogs are allowed to sleep with us and on the couch, and when they are not on the couch they are on their very expensive beds! :) We treat them better than family! Our dogs get to go outside frequently to play, as well as relaxing on our gated back porch. We do go for walks, but our big girl, Roxi the mastiff, has some hip tenderness so she isn't as active as she used to be!

“Michelle watched our two Weimaraners in our home many times while we were away on a week’s vacation. She took great care of our beloved boys and we never had to worry. She sent us pictures of them snoozing and comfy and she also took good care of our home while we were gone. Michelle loves dogs and is an excellent pet and house sitter. Very trustworthy!”

Thea L.
“We were always comfortable leaving Zeus, our great dane/lab mix, with Thea whenever we had to go out of town. Zeus really liked Thea and she was very attentive to Zeus. She would make sure he was fed, had plenty of water, took him for walks and played with him. We never had to worry about Zeus when Thea was taking care of him for us.”
Karen & Fred M.
“Karen is a wonderful person who took amazing care of my dog when I was called out of town for a long term work assignment. She loved my dog as her own. She communicated often and shared pictures of my dog being spoiled rotten (in a good way!) She became such an important part of my dog’s life that when he was diagnosed with cancer and had to be set free to cross the rainbow bridge, she came to the facility to be with us as he passed.”
Jessica K.Star Sitter
“We are SO glad we had Jessica’s help! She was great with communication, price, and made us feel very comfortable. Highly recommend her!!!”
