About: I've been taking care of animals (both cats and dogs) since childhood! Family pets are near and dear to my heart. I can provide quality care for your furry friends and provide prompt updates and photos when you are away from them. I have experience working with both cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m currently working part-time before starting medical school, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer dependable drop-in visits on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they feel cared for and comfortable while you're away. I care for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable. I offer reliable transportation to reach your home and can transport pets if needed. During drop-in visits, I provide loving attention, fresh food and water, playtime, and prompt updates with photos to keep you at ease. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my priority.
“Bailey was the best! I have 3 crazy dogs who are a handful and Bailey handles them like a champ. I always get worried when I have to leave my babies in somebody else’s hands, but now that I’ve found Bailey I know when I have to leave they are in the best of hands. The pups love her and so do I! Will be booking her for all future pupper needs!”
“Fantastic pet sitter. She was able to help me when I needed pet care for a family emergency. Very attentive to details and sent messages, photos.”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages and sizes. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have dog-sat for many years. I bring patience, love, and reliability to every visit. Whether your dog is big or small, shy or social, I adapt to their unique personality and needs. I genuinely love helping out in any way I can, whether it’s a long walk, feeding time, or a quick potty break. I treat every pet like family, and I’m here to make your life easier! I’m a college student with a set class schedule, but I’m available outside of those hours to help care for your pup. I’m reliable, communicative, and always do my best to respond quickly. I closely follow any specific routines, feeding instructions, or medical needs you provide, and I always keep a watchful eye to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy.

Central Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
I had an excellent first experience hiring Tiffany to look after my cats while I was out of town. When Tiffany came by for a meet and greet, I could tell that she truly understands cats and their unique needs. Tiffany was communicative, arrived on time for drop-ins, and shared thoughtful and informative updates.
Katherine really helped me out by stepping in last minute to check on my kitten and was so easy to work with. She confirmed all the relevant details, asked good questions, played with my little guy during her visit and made sure everything was in good order before leaving. Can’t thank you enough, Katherine!!
Ashleigh is fantastic! She was super helpful and understanding of any and all quirks and gave me significant peace of mind while I was out of town. She also provided great visit summaries and pictures! I will definitely book her again when I need someone to watch my kitties!
Kimee is amazing. I knew I would love her the first time I talked to her about meeting and taking care of Roo. She was great at communicating and always made me feel reassured Roo was taken care of. She would send lots of pictures and updates when she took care of her. I would recommend her to anyone. She is great.
Buddy, Belle, and I are so blessed to have had Brooke check in while I was away. From the moment she stepped in the door for our meet and greet, we felt comfortable and safe with Brooke. I appreciate the pictures she took during her visits. It was evident that Buddy and Belle were having fun with Brooke and were well cared for. They even let the cat out of the bag when I returned and told me that Brooke is AWESOME and they would love to have her back the next time I have to go away. When my cats talk, I listen! Thank you, Brooke, for the TLC you gave my fur babies; it meant the world to us.
ReeCee immediately felt comfortable with Alexus. Alexus came as agreed. She provided pictures of her walking and playing with my pup. She gave me updates as to eating, snacking, etc. Alexus agreed to be available for another visit should we not get home at the planned time. All was good when we arrived. ReeCee was very happy. Thank you, Alexus.
Bailey was wonderful and the best experience we've had on Rover. From the time we met her, we were comfortable knowing our Leo (our dog) was in good hands, and we could tell that she cared for Leo and that Leo liked her back. She was very responsive and gave us frequent updates and pictures.
Wow. Jade went above and beyond for my cat. I told Jade before she watched my cat, Sister, that I was nervous because she’s such an anxious cat and I didn’t want things to be too difficult. Fret not. I come home to see my cat out in the living room- basking in the sun, not a care in the world. She wasn’t hiding like she usually does when new people are around, no, she was purring and relaxed. When I went to pet Sister, I made a crazy discovery. Her nails? Trimmed. Her hair? Washed. Not only that, I had told Jade not to worry about the litter box since I wouldn’t be gone for long. And what did Jade do? She deep cleaned it. Deep cleaned my cat’s litter box just because. I mean come on. Talk about a cat sitter! I could not recommend this girl more. She’s thoughtful, she’s kind, she’s an animal whisperer. Just when you think things couldn’t be better, Jade says just wait. 5 stars and a happy cat waiting for Jade’s return.
