“April took great care of Hamilton, providing updates and pictures all along the way. She was considerate of our space and left it exactly as we had left it. Look forward to using April on our next trip.”

“Casey is awesome! I would not hesitate to book her and her partner Hung again. They took great care of our 2 dogs and house while we were on vacation for 10 days. One of my dogs is fearful/anxious and it takes him a while to warm up to new people. Casey is so knowledgeable on how to handle him. They were best friends in no time. Casey is great with communication and I looked forward to her twice daily updates and pictures. Casey is so calm and gentle with my pups, I was happy to have my dogs cared for by such great people!”

“I cannot recommend Annie enough! She stayed with my dog, Addie, for a week and was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we met, I trusted her completely—she’s incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and clearly loves what she does. Knowing Addie was in such great hands allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation without any worries. Annie provided excellent care, kept me updated, and made sure Addie was happy and comfortable the entire time. She also sent the cutest photos, which I loved getting since I missed my pup! I would love to work with her again in the future, and if you’re looking for a reliable, caring sitter, Annie is the best choice! I can’t thank her enough!”

“So incredibly lucky to have found Claire! Our elderly Dachshund and demanding Puggle were in wonderful hands and seemed very happy to be with her considering the cute photos that Claire sent to us! Came home to happy, safe dogs and a clean house! Great Rover experience. Will be booking Claire again, without a doubt.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I've had my own cat for over 10 years, so I deeply understand feline behavior, routines, and the patience required to earn their trust. Beyond that, my extended family is full of cat lovers. I regularly help care for my sisters' cats, including a high-energy Bengal that requires specialized play, enrichment, and attention. I'm familiar with the unique personalities and needs of different breeds and have learned how to tailor care to suit each individual animal. When it comes to dogs, they've been a central part of my daily life while nannying. For the past year, I’ve consistently walked, played with, and cared for dogs of various sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s sticking to a specific routine, managing energy with structured play, or ensuring calm and safe interactions, I always strive to give pets the love and attention they deserve. I’m confident managing multiple animals at once and can read animal body language to ensure everyone feels safe and happy. What sets me apart is the mix of hands-on experience with both cats and dogs, my calm and attentive approach, and my genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know them, meet their needs, and build trust. From playful puppies to independent seniors, I provide care that’s thoughtful, reliable, and personalized. I currently work part-time as a nanny, and that often includes caring for family dogs, taking them on walks, playing with them, and keeping them company throughout the day. When I’m home, I care for my own cat, who’s been with me for over 10 years. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. Starting this fall, I’ll be in school full-time, but I won’t be working a job alongside it. That means I’ll have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, especially on weekends and between classes. I prioritize safety and trust above all when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to ensure pets are comfortable and secure. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where animals feel relaxed and safe. At a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, keeping everything as familiar as possible for the pet. I’m attentive to any special needs or behaviors, and I’m always ready to respond quickly if a pet feels stressed or unwell. Building trust with both pets and owners is essential to me as I communicate openly and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Liz did a great job caring for our large crew of 2 dogs and 3 cats! She was responsive and her calm confidence was reassuring, especially given that we were "off the grid" for some of our trip. She also coordinated the handoff of responsibility with a friend who was petsitting for some of the time we were gone. I appreciated that she sent pictures when she arrived, and left a note to let us know how things went. We also had a flight delay on the way home, and she was willing to stick around to make sure the pets were cared for in case we were further delayed. I highly recommend her!”

“Jesse did a great job taking care of my dog and cat while we were away. He spent a good amount of time with my animals throughout the day and made sure to send timely updates. My cat was experiencing a health issue and required extra care during our time away and Jesse was very attentive and understanding. We felt very safe leaving our animals in his care. My animals all really enjoyed their time with him.”

About: I have experience with both small/shy and big/hyper dogs. Neighbors, friends, and family trust me, both with dog walking and pet sitting. I am very comfortable and have experience with administering medication to pets as well. I really enjoy spending time with animals and strive to make sure your pet is safe and well-cared for. I have a pretty open schedule so whenever duty calls, I'm more than happy to take your dog for a walk or watch your kitty while you're on vacation. I will try my best to help keep your dog's home clean and organized during play and will make sure that your pup is well fed and happy!

“Klaudia was fantastic! When I got back home, my dogs was very calm. It seemed like they spent a good time outside and were well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Klaudia & contact her for future bookings! :)”

About: I have had a love for animals since I was a young child. At the age of 8, against my parents wishes I snuck in an abandoned cat and it ended up being where my love for animals began. We have had many types of pets since then. Currently we have a 3 year-old German Shepherd whom we rescued from a shelter at 4 months of age. We also have a 1 year old Australian Cattle dog who is super energetic. I love spending time with animals, dogs in particular, because they are so playful, happy and full of unconditional love. I am responsible, caring and will take great care of you pet because I know that they are not only “pets” but are also members of your family. I will care for your pet like I would care for my own pets. I work full-time as a nurse practitioner but just started working some days from home. I figured, why not do something I love while also getting exercise at the same time. Note: the only breed of dog that I will not board in my home are pitbulls. My daughter had a traumatic experience with a pitbull so she is very triggered by that breed. I will gladly watch pitbulls in your home and care for them outside of my home. I think they do get a bad reputation for being an aggressive breed but due to our experience, we unfortunately don’t feel comfortable having them around our children. I am able to mainly available for pet care on the weekends. I am able to accomplish most evening/late evening or very early morning walks. Every other Tuesday I work from home so am able to break up my schedule this day. I care for my dogs in my backyard, which is fenced in. She is able to run around freely because we do have a large yard which allows her to burn off her energy. We also play fetch and she is able to spend a lot of her time running around there. We also go for walks around the neighborhood.
