“Mia is great and so patient with my pups. She keeps me updated and contacts me for any questions. I really appreciate that because I worry about my girls while I am at work. Thank you for all you do Mia :)”


“Ashley has been great! She is very reliable and quite a life saver on some last minute requests. My Gracie just loves her and Ashley takes special time with her going above and beyond. 5 stars !!”


“This was my first time using Rover and leaving my dogs, Mocha and Matcha, home alone, so I was very anxious. I hired McKenna in advance, and she even did a couple of visits while we were still home to get to know them. When the actual trip started, I felt so guilty I almost cut it short—but McKenna reassured me with such kindness. She followed every instruction, came twice a day, fed, walked, and played with them, sent photo updates, and even stayed extra time to comfort them. Mocha doesn’t usually trust strangers, but she warmed up to McKenna quickly. Matcha loved her too! McKenna made the whole experience smooth and worry-free. I’ve already asked if she’s available again in July! So grateful and blessed to have found someone who truly treats my pups like her own.”


“Noelle was the best with our cat!!! She was communicative, professional, and so genuinely kind! I absolutely plan to reach out again next time we go out of town!!! 😻”


“Kristen was excellent! Very detail oriented very professional and extremely nice! I would definitely book her again the next vacation to check in on my dog and I highly recommend her for others dogs as well thanks Kristen!!”


About: I grew up in a home filled with animals, which gave me a deep understanding and love for pet care. Over the years, I’ve helped friends and family care for their pets, including dogsitting for my uncle’s dog, who experiences seizures. This experience has made me comfortable handling pets with special needs and providing attentive, compassionate care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or looking after pets with unique requirements, I treat every animal like my own. I'm currently a server at an Italian restaurant, working part-time, trying to save up money for my college tuition. My availability fluctuates, however I will always find time to care for our furry friends! I have a fenced, nicely sized yard and a quiet, small lab/border collie mixed dog to keep your pups company. I also can provide crates if needed

“I’m truly grateful for the care Neve provided. We have two cats one is very old. Neve went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. A complete professional who displayed tremendous compassion to our cats. I can’t thank her enough.”

I can also accommodate towards last minute bookings if needed! The neighborhood that I live in is very safe and quiet, which would be ideal for walks. Your pet would always get my full attention to their daily needs.

About: Everyone says I am a natural with animals. I have not met a pet that didn’t melt my heart . Every interaction with an animal is one of a kind and special in its own way. Dogs truly leave imprints in your heart they are family. I believe every dog is deserving of love , cuddles and lots of patience. Repetition and Redirecting with positive reinforcement are the keys to a well behaved pup. I will offer only what is best for your furry friend. Be assured that they will be in great loving hands with me and my family. When booked for day care or boarding. I would be following a schedule with your pet. We will have a fun day filled with routines, exercise and play time for cognitive stimulation My biggest goal is to make your pet feel safe and comfortable. They will always be kept separate from other pets I have at all times. Unless you request your pup to socialize. I will offer your pup a schedule that is fitting for them.

About: I been taking care of pets since I was 15 years old. Today I have 3 dogs, 2 poodles and a Shiba Inu. I live with 2 and my sons live with the Shiba Inu. Iam avaible at night and in the mornings. I can walk the dogs from 11pm to 2am and on the morning hours from 5am to 11am.. I have a huge yard and flexible schedule. I have 3 dogs and able to accommodate 6 dogs with dog beds. Only walk dog with leashes.

About: My love for dogs have grown as I got older especially when i started to be relied on by family & family friends to walk there dogs. & from there on I’ve been loving it since. I’m currently working a part time & able to work my schedule around which makes room for me to focus on other things to do outside of my job, which had brought me the idea to take pet care more serious. When it comes to pet care I take into consideration on how loved these animals are by their owners & treat them like my own. I am more aware of my surroundings & to what’s going on for my safety & especially your pets safety as they also have a home to get back to.
