About: I offer affordable pet care to the people in my community, and I enjoy doing it! I’ve rescued dogs and cats with my family since I was a kid, and it brings me a lot of joy to care for elderly dogs in particular. I currently work at a doggy daycare and I know that some animals just don’t do well in loud, harsh environments like that, especially elderly dogs. That’s why I’m happy to offer housesitting and boarding services in my own home. I’m currently working part time at a doggy daycare 3 days a week, and my schedule changes often. If I am boarding a dog, then I let the owners know that there will be certain times when their dog will be crated or put inside while I am gone. I currently live in a two bedroom home with a large backyard. I keep dogs leashed while walking outside the fence and I prefer to have all info on a dog’s habits (aggressions, abandonment issues, behavior history, etc.). If a dog is not a good fit upon meeting, then I’ll let the owner know before booking.


10. Stef S.


“Grateful to Stef for walking River for her whole scheduled walk and even a few minutes extra- as an owner of a very active girl, this is something I truly appreciate. And as an added bonus, River loved Stef! :)”


11. Veronica L.

“Thank you so much to Veronica!! She made my first experience with Rover so great!! They followed care instructions perfectly! I’m so glad she was fond of Canelo ?”


12. Emmalyn C.
“Training with Em is a breeze. Her knowledge of animals and especially their diet needs. Helping families and their pets is a passion that is very evident in the way Em interacts with her clients and their family members. You can't go wrong with Em!”

“Fantastic job! Even brought in some packages I had on the porch too. She took time to update me on how he was doing. Thanks! Will be using again.”


15. Cas S.
About: Ive taken care of dogs in bathing, breeding, and boarding scenarios and am dedicated to ensuring both pets and their parents can feel at confident in their happiness. I have also trained plenty of puppies, including my own medical alert dog. I currently work part-time at night so am only 100% available for early morning-evening and late night visits. I am, however, eager to spend my free time making sure plenty of pets are happy during the day. I will do everything to make sure a pet feels comfortable with me while ensuring they are mentally and physically stimulated. A pets wellbeing and daily routine always comes first


16. Misty S.
About: They'll love how much love and affection I show their dogs and how energized I can be when playing with them. I've never met a dog that doesn't like to be around me. I love any type of dog. I can bathe and groom them. Try and teach tricks and make them feel at home. I feel very confident in my services and how happy the clients will be with me. I'm pretty much up for learning new things and make this an ongoing priority. I have 2 dogs. One Is a Jack Russell named Rex and hes 7 years old. I have had him since he was a new born. The other Is a lab mix named Simba who Is 3 years old. I've also had him since he was a pup.


17. Ornina S.
“I have the privilege of being married to an incredible woman who has an unparalleled love for animals. Watching my wife care for our pets and those of our friends and family has been nothing short of inspiring. She is gentle, patient, and treats every animal as if it were her own. One of the many things I admire about her is her attention to detail—she takes the time to learn about each pet’s needs, preferences, and quirks. Whether it’s walking a high-energy dog, feeding a picky cat, or providing comfort to an anxious pet, she handles everything with grace and compassion. I’ve seen her spend hours playing with pets, ensuring they feel loved and cared for, even when their owners are away. I can confidently say she has a natural gift for this and would be an outstanding pet sitter. Anyone who entrusts their furry friends to her can rest assured that they’re in the best hands possible.”


18. Alexis W.

“Alexis took such great care of My "Dawgter" ?? She went way above and beyond to assure Jade was taken care of and she was prompt and did everything she said she would. She accomodated my last minute request and took a huge load off of me during my travel away from my Pup. Thank You Alexis you are the Best ?”


19. Breyanna M.
“Breyanna does an absolute amazing job watching my pitbull, Samson. Samson loves when she watches him and plays with him. She super patient with him, because he can definitely be a handful.”


20. Ciara P.

“Ciara was extremely helpful and sweet to my pup Alex. The only criticism I would give is to make sure that you utilize the full duration of the visit. That's the only reason I didn't give 5 stars outside of that she was outstanding. I would recommend her to anyone.”
