“Erica is patient, considerate, kind and all around lovely. My dogs ADORE her. She has always been flexible and has helped out last-minute on several occasions. I’m so glad we found her!”
“Maria was very communicative throughout our whole trip. She sent notes and photos for each visit. We will definitely call on Maria to take care of Chief in the future!”
“Jennifer was wonderful with the cats and to work with. She kept us well informed, cared for the cats, and was a pleasure to work with. We will absolutely use her, again.”
“Cathy started caring for our black lab, Wendy, last week. She responded so quickly to my messages and was able to do a meet and greet within days of my first message to her! Our dog loves Cathy and it’s been going really well when Cathy comes to let her out at lunchtime. I would definitely recommend Cathy to care for your pet! She has a lab of her own and a lot of experience.”
“Brianna did a great job taking care of my OD. I was hesitant leaving my dog to a complete stranger, but when I met Brianna, I knew she would take good care of my dog. She kept me well informed and I will not hesitate to use her again. It is very comforting knowing I have someone who I can call to take care of my dog when I am traveling since I no longer have family able to care for him. Thank you Brianna--I will be back in touch soon as I have another trip coming up.”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was nearly 14 years old. I have a cat currently, and have had dogs off and on for most of my life. I am often available on Mondays until 3 pm, Wednesdays until noon, Fridays all day, Saturdays all day, and Sundays all day. I have a lot of time available despite a full time job. I do not offer sitting or boarding, my apologies. However, I do offer walks and drop-ins. Thank you for considering me as someone to care for your kitty or pup!
“Yuliia did an awesome job checking in on my two cats. Very thorough with plenty of pictures and the cats loved the extra attention and play time. Definitely recommend Yuliia!”
About: I have owned dogs sense I was I’d say 6, once I turned 10 I started offering family and friends to watch their animals, which included feeding, playing with, walking, bathing, grooming. I am currently not working, I am currently enrolled in online classes to become a horse trainer, so I am open pretty much always sense all my classes are set paced I don’t offer in home services but I do have a dog of my own you can request that I bring him over to play, he is house trained, but is afraid of big dogs so small dog owners only! I worked for a dog day care company so I have a wide variety of experience with dogs all ages and sizes, as well as basic training in dog first aid.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life and caring for them is a passion of mine. I have experience with dogs of many breeds and sizes, reactive dogs, cats, and medication administration. I understand and appreciate that every animal is different and am more than happy to accommodate to their unique needs. With a chronically-ill cat of my own, I understand that being away from your pets can be stressful, and I hope to provide the same peace of mind that Rover sitters have given me. I am nearing the end of physician assistant school and will have a good amount of free time while awaiting licensure and full-time employment. My current schedule is somewhat flexible, so we should be able to make something work! When caring for a pet in their own home, I fully accommodate to their normal routine. I am happy to meet beforehand to discuss the ins and outs of your pet's individual needs.
About: I'm a huge dog mom and the type of person who will stop and pet every single dog on the street. A perk is that your pup will have a buddy in the house! Because my apartment is already used to taking care of my little dude, Cooper, I love bringing in other dogs so that he has someone to play with. Cooper is an 8 month old pup that's full of character and loves to play - he gets along with everyone! I’ll love and take care of your dog like my own. I work remotely, so I'm always home! This makes it easy for potty breaks or walks, as I like to do both through out the day. I also have a car if they want to come on errands with me, and a doggy camera for anytime I'm away. We have a fenced in back yard and live on the first floor. Pups are permitted on the furniture and to sleep in bed! Plenty of space and dog friendly.
