“Joyce is excellent! We left our two babies with her and she treated them with love and care. She is an extremely caring person and treats others' animals as if they were her own. She kept in regular contact with us during our trip and soon became our dogs best friend! Would highly recommend her for sitting or walking your animals. She's great!!”
“Erin was perfect! She gave us updates regularly and was the best house guest, the house was in better condition than it was when we left. She was flexible on the cost too because we have a ridiculous amount of fur babies which we really appreciated. She even brought in mail without being asked!! We will definitely be asking her to care for our pets again!!”
“We had to go out of town on short notice, and we were so happy that Brandon was available to stay with our dog and cat. This is the second time he’s taken care of them. Brandon is really good with our pets and they really like him. He’s conscientious, considerate and kind. Thank you Brandon!”

About: I’ve taken care of numerous family members, friends, and coworkers pets since I was a child. I even rescued and nursed my first kitten to health after finding him in a dumpster. Hoping to share my love for animals in the area after moving here from California! I’m available full-time up as of now up until mid September when I begin my medical career. Once starting work, I hope to continue part-time! I can care for others pets however they need, as I find it important for animals health and wellness to have a consistent, steady schedule and environment. This includes crating, exercising, feeding, etc. as needed!

About: This is my first time trying to get into professional pet care, however, I have spent my entire life living with and taking care of pets. There hasn’t been a single moment where I have lived without cats or a dog in my home. I absolutely love getting to spend time with these animals as I find their companionship to be so rewarding. I find many animals seem to enjoy my own company, whether it’s due to my calm nature or inability to refuse petting them if they ask for it! I have no special skills to report, but I will say that I am happy to learn all there is about your furry best friend(s) to make sure you, and more importantly, they, are comfortable and happy. I’m currently available any day of the week to take care of your pets! No time is a bad time for me, unless it is very late in the day. I will care for your pets in your home by following any instructions you have given me for their safety and care and always keep an eye and ear on them. If I am taking your dog on a walk, I will make sure we stay clear of any visible signs of safety hazards and confrontation with other dogs/people.

“Linda was 10 out of 10! This was our first time using rover and Linda was wonderful in taking care of our dogs who really have never stayed with anyone besides family before. She went above and beyond in making sure the dogs had adequate time outside and we didn’t come home to any potty accidents which is always such a big relief when you return home from traveling. So thankful our dogs were in good hands!”
