About: I have always been involved in pet care. When I was younger I worked in the pet care section of pet smart and now I work at a pet boarding hotel! I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified. I have 2 dogs and a fish, and have previously owned Guinea pigs, cats, hamsters, and birds! I am currently working part time at a boarding hotel and volunteering at a veterinary clinic which means I have tons of time to spend with your fur babies!! My visits will be specialized to whatever you need! Whether that’s increased activity by going on more walks or lounging on the couch cuddling!! Everything will be according to what your pet wants.
“Nova was wonderful! They took excellent care of our cat, it was such a relief to know that our cat was receiving such good care and getting lots of attention while away. Nova sent photos and communicated everyday, and even though they stayed in our home you wouldn't know it, they left everything as they found it. Thanks Nova!”
“Taylor is wonderful! This was her first time looking after our menagerie (a cat with a heart condition, a bearded dragon and a crested gecko) and we were so impressed. She was thorough, detail oriented and communicated very well! We would definitely hire her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments over the past 3 years, including high-energy breeds and senior dogs. I'm experienced in administering medications, reinforcing training, and making sure every pet feels safe and loved while their owners are away. Friends and neighbors often rely on me for walks, playtime, and overnight stays. I always tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs and routines, and I treat every animal like family. Pet care is naturally built into my daily life—I start and end each day with feeding, cleaning, and spending quality time with my two cats. I’m used to organizing my schedule around the needs of animals, whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings. I’m flexible on weekends and evenings and can easily accommodate pet-sitting or drop-in visits into my weekly routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. I follow the routines provided by pet parents as closely as possible and always take time to understand each animal’s personality and boundaries. With my background as a veterinary assistant, I’m trained to notice signs of distress or health concerns early. I ensure that all spaces are secure, clean, and enriched—whether it’s quiet rest areas for cats or safe walking routes for dogs. I treat every home and every pet with the same level of care I give my own.

“Samantha was awesome! She asked great questions when she came for the meet and greet, making sure she got all the information that I forgot was important. Her visits were always right on time, and she sent detailed reports. She was super when one of my cats was sick, and definitely went above and beyond to make sure they were looked after. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been taking care and training dogs since i was 4. I have taken care of dogs of all ages from the moment they are born through to seniors. I have also trained dogs from 5 weeks old through to older dogs. I do not believe in the term you can not teach an old dog new tricks, i just believe it is more difficult to do so. I have worked with dogs that have issues from medical to behavioral and love a challenge. I am currently in college for dog training. I have a very open schedule. I own my own company and am able to make my own work schedule. I do have animals of my own so i cannot stay in a house over night but am able to do check-ins. I do have 5 dogs and 2 cats (who think they are dogs). I treat all animals as they were mine and love them all the same.

Highly recommend! Atanu and Sanjukta Sengupta Milton”
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Arkell
Ciara went above and beyond with our elderly cats. Between the many prescribed diets + medications I was very choosy about who could look after them. We came back to haooy, healthy cats, she even took the time to wash used food dishes + clean litter boxes. The daily photo updates and info on days the eldest did or did not have meds was helpful to have as well.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
