Jazmin is amazing. She had excellent communication before and after visits with my kitty. She took photos and wrote the most detailed and sweet notes after each stay. I knew my kitty was safe in her care which gives me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future! Thanks so much!

Brittany truly goes above and beyond, not only taking excellent care of our kitty but also dealing with various unexpected issues like a large sofa being delivered while we were away and our cat getting outside. She’s an awesome and trustworthy pet sitter and I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks again for everything and happy thanksgiving!

Yesenia is awesome and has extensive experience with both cats and dogs. She was so patient with Axl as he is a puppy and a bit shy around people. She is responsive, has great communication during check-ins and take lots of pics. Thank you Yesenia 😃!

About: I had a chihuahua rescue for 10 years. He had congestive heart failure and hypertension. I had to give him medication like clockwork. He lived to be very old. I have fostered puppies and a pit/lab mix. I’m the go-to dog sitter for all my friends. I currently work shifts that are 5.5-6 hours/4 days a week. Work one 8 hour shift. Walk/feed twice a day. Lots of snuggle time before and after work hours. I always make sure the fur babies are fed at consistent times. Give them lots of snuggles and play time. Take them on long walks (if they are able). I make sure all trash is secure (I had a foster that was obsessed with food). I stick to any routine your furry friend is accustomed to. I am extremely trustworthy and reliable!

About: I believe that it is important to adapt to each dog's individual personality and preferences when caring for them. I have had experience all my life with my own, and family, pets of all shapes and sizes and can tell you for sure, one size does not fit all lol. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats so I'm confident in my ability to handle anything they throw at me. I'd love to get to know your pet as well :) I work from home so I am highly flexible and can fit your pet in my day at any time for your requested activities, or lack thereof haha I have pets at home, so if your pet prefers not making friends at this time, I can drop by or stay with your pet at their home!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up in a home where they were truly part of the family. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones while they’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. I also have a dog of my own, Lev, a 6-year-old male who has taught me a lot about patience, communication, and positive reinforcement training. Because Lev can be leash reactive, I’m very comfortable reading dog body language and handling walks calmly and safely. Through consistent positive reinforcement, we’ve built successful and enjoyable walks together. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I always aim to create a safe, positive, and fun experience for every pup in my care. I currently WFH full-time! Afternoon/evenings between 3-7pm on weekdays are ideal times for walks and visits. Weekends would vary, but I have pretty open availability in general! My own pup gets at least three walks a day—a long walk first thing in the morning and another before bed, plus a midday walk for some relief and fresh air. We often go on other adventures, including the beach and the dog park, but this our typical schedule. Because of this routine, I’m very accustomed to walking during high dog-traffic times and always prioritize safe, attentive handling. I stay aware of our surroundings, read dog body language, and use positive reinforcement to keep walks calm, structured, and enjoyable for every pup.

Ivy was extremely communicative and caring when taking care of our two cats. She went above and beyond, taking time to figure out their favorite treat flavors, brushing them so well that their coats got way softer, and taking lots of cute pics and sending them our way while we were gone. We’ll definitely be working with her again!

Brenda was awesome, we needed someone last second to drop in and hangout with our puppy. She set up a call so we could get to know each other, asked great questions, and provided photos and videos of their time together. We couldn't asked for much more. We will definitely be using her in the future.

Repeating client here of Olivia’s ! My dog absolutely adores Olivia, he’s always well cared for and I so appreciate her attention to detail. When she comes over to do a quick check in before her visits Coba jumps on her and hugs her with excitement and when we’re talking he is so calm and just sits at her feet. Olivia goes above and beyond when caring for him, she understands and this time was especially worthy of a shoutout since Coba had a dew claw injury and Oliva had zero problems taking time to remove or place on his cone during her visits. She also has a high energy dog and she’s always one step ahead, especially with an injury. Her Rover cards and epic photos are what kept us smiling when we were away on our trip missing our crag dog. Thank you Olivia see you soon!

About: I grew up around big dogs my whole life. Shepherds, Huskies, Rottweilers, etc, so I’m very comfortable dealing with big, fun and energetic dogs I currently work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I can make myself available in the mornings, afternoons and evenings if I am needed. Your pet will always be my priority. I have a German Shepherd who has very particular needs, so I can relate to people who want the best care for their pets.

Frank is golden!! I knew exactly how my fur baby was doing the entire time I was away from her. He was really fantastic with her. I got updates every step of the way. He was very professional, punctual, and caring. It’s refreshing to deal with someone who has a high love of integrity. Book with confidence…I know I will again…can’t thank him enough!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 5 years old and have always loved being around animals. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I’m patient, gentle, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, walks, and giving pets the attention they need. I treat every pet like my owm and truly enjoy spending time with them. Pet care fits very naturally into my schedule because I’m currently on summer break and have a very open availability. I do work a part-time job, but I still have plenty of free time throughout the week to give pets lots of attention, walks, playtime, and care. In the fall, I’ll be taking online college classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to continue being available for pet sitting and drop-ins. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I love making part of my routine. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I pay close attention to pets at all times and make sure they are in a clean, calm, and safe environment. I also make it a priority to give pets lots of love, patience, and attention so they feel relaxed while their owners are away. I respect clients’ homes, keep everything tidy, and communicate regularly with updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I bring a calm, dependable approach to pet care. I’m an EMT with training in K9, CPR, and basic first aid, and I’m especially patient with both puppies and senior dogs. I also have a mini Bernedoodle of my own, so I understand the level of care, attention, and love every dog deserves. I work nights, so I’m available during the day, preferably morning or walks, hikes, runs check ins, and quality time. I stay active with hiking and running, Transparency is very important to me. If I’m unsure about something, I prefer to ask for clarification rather than make assumptions. Animals are our best friends, and I believe in kindness, patience, and clear communication. I also take pride in having integrity when it comes to following directions exactly as given to ensure each pet receives the best possible care.

We feel very fortunate to have found Jill! One of the things we appreciated right away is that she lives in our neighborhood, which made scheduling and communication very convenient. From the moment she came over for the meet-and-greet, it was obvious that she was completely comfortable with both cats and dogs. She asked thoughtful questions, took the time to get to know our pets, and immediately inspired confidence. Jill has cared for our pets twice now, including one visit with our Golden Retriever in addition to our cats. She took excellent care of everyone, sent regular, detailed updates with plenty of photos, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We also appreciated the little things, like noticing and closing windows that had been left open before we left. We are already planning to book Jill again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter.

Ana A. was very good with my two small pups and made me feel so much at ease. I had long weekend plans and was unable to bring my dogs with me, so I booked Ana to come feed them and walk them for 4 days. Ana was timely, communicative, very nice and I know my dogs felt comfortable and safe with her. This meant so much to me, thank you Ana!! Highly recommended.

Marcie did a fantastic job looking after our cats and went far above and beyond taking care of them when one of them got sick after we'd left the country. She took Huey to the vet twice, administered medication, isolated him as needed while keeping him company, while making sure Slinky was well looked after as well. The boys love her as do we, and we hope to work with her again soon!
