“Very attentive care for my timid cat. Followed all the care instructions very exactly and made sure to seek out my cat in hiding to confirm all was well. Recommended!”

“Desiree was great with my two kitties! This was my first time with Rover and I couldn’t be more pleased. She even managed to get my super shy/skittish cat to come out for not only food, but also for some pets :) she gave updates after each visit with great photos and was very responsive. 100% will book again.”
“Patrick did a great job with our cats! He was on time to feed them every day and sent us pictures each day as well. We were very comfortable leaving our boys with him! We definitely call him again!”
About: For as long as I can remember, there has always been a pet in close proximity to me, and now I like to joke that I prefer their company over that of other people! As I've grown up, I've learned the true value of our furry friends, especially the care required to foster our relationship with them. I have owned and taken care of dogs for many years, my longest being 15 years. Through him, we started a family; nursing a total of eight puppies and raising one throughout her entire lifetime. I have learned much about patience through my experience with dogs, whether it be getting puppies to sleep, or accommodating the needs of a senior dog. I get excited when given the possibility to teach a dog new skills, as I always form a stronger connection with it. For the first time, I have no pets of my own, and I'm excited for the opportunity to continue forming relationships with animals and observing the dynamic they have with their owners. As I said, most of my memories consist of some form of animal care, so I'm sure I can form new ones with your pet! I am currently an undergraduate student looking to graduate next year. As such, I'd like to offer my services mostly for for the weekends only, as I do not have class or work then. I exercise 5 days a week, so I'm sure I have the strength and discipline to handle any animal. As such, caring for your pet is also beneficial to my health and wellbeing. As soon as possible, I'd like to learn what habits a pet has, whether it be trained or spontaneous. This would either be in the form of special items, specific words, favorite locations, daily routines, and notable stimuli. With that knowledge in mind, I like to form a balance between accommodating a pet's special needs and the owner's requests and preferences, all to create a comfortable and safe environment for both.

About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for pets as I’ve always had a pet since I was a young girl :) I currently have a playful tuxedo cat of my own, and I also spend time with my girlfriend’s big husky German shepherd mix, so I’m familiar with energetic doggies and strong leash pullers. I’m patient, and happy to handle everything from playtime to feeding, walks, and litter box cleaning. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my priority, and I’ll treat them like one of my own ❤️ I am off work currently and I am available to provide pet care Tuesday through Sunday anytime of the day. Now that it’s getting warmer out I do enjoy being outdoors and I’d love to bring your pet along with me! I keep a clean environment, stick to their routines, and make sure they get plenty of affection and care. I’ll treat your pet with the same patience and warmth I give my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“Jennifer was a great pet sitter! She was kind and professional, and it was such a comfort to know she was looking after my fur baby❤️”
About: I am careful to heed owners instructions on how to care for their furbaby to create peace of mind and maintain a respectful relationship between the animals and humans. I work Full-time on the weekend. I can accept reservations and check-ins starting by 3PM on Mondays. Pets must be checked-out/picked up by 3PM Saturday. Currently have 2 Siberian huskies to entertain your pooch. Both huskies are well-socialized and engage very well with other canines. House is cleaned and sanitized on the daily to prevent any contagious illnesses. Exercise is done through nature trails in the area. If owners are comfortable with dog parks, I am a member to multiple private dog parks to ensure privacy and freedom to run around from other unauthorized/stranger canines.
About: I love pets. My family has 3 dogs, the oldest we have had for 11 years. I’ve had experience caring for my dogs, feeding them, washing them, and tending to any wounds or illnesses they have. I have also taken care of friends pets which has allowed me to learn how to interact with different types of dogs. I work remotely from home and will be able to give your pets so much attention and love. I’m available for boarding Monday through Friday at any hours. I live in a great neighborhood so your pets will be safe going on walks. I also live near a park I think pets would enjoy walking through. All pets will be allowed on couches and sofas but I will also respect any trainings or boundaries the owners have. My top priority is your pets safety and to make sure they are comfortable and happy, this is why I only care for one pet a day. I will care for multiple pets from the same family/house.

I will give them all the attention they need because they deserve the best!
“It was our first time leaving Daisy with someone, and the experience couldn't have been more amazing. Jimmy kept us updated the whole trip, with photos and videos, but most importantly, he took care of her. We gave him a nervous dog, and we received a peaceful and loved dog back. He did an amazing job and I highly recommend him.”
