“We were more than satisfied with our choice of Tiffany for watching our cat Lucky for 3 weeks. We were concerned that Lucky might not accept Tiffany once he realized we were gone. That fear was short lived when she shared a photo of him sleeping on her lap the first day. Lucky is a high maintenance cat because he is an indoor/outdoor cat, so more work for Tiffany was required. We are so glad that she was available for that time slot and agreed to stay in our home. We highly recommend Tiffany.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 8 years old and have experience with many different types of dogs, as well as other animals. I’m very thorough and attentive when it comes to understanding and meeting each pet’s individual needs. I have a deep love and appreciation for animals, especially dogs, and I always want them to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for while they’re with me! I currently work remotely as a legal assistant, which gives me a flexible and open schedule for dog sitting and overnight stays. I’m able to bring my work equipment with me, so I can comfortably work from your home while keeping your pup company throughout the day. I also nanny part-time for about two hours a day, but otherwise my schedule is very flexible! I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they’re fed on their usual schedule, have plenty of fresh water, get regular bathroom breaks and exercise, and receive lots of attention and affection. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions regarding medications, walks, playtime, or other needs. When staying in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

About: I have taken care of a range of different types of dogs, mainly smaller and medium sized dogs, and puppies as well! Whether your dog wants to be super active or sit in with cuddles, I'll be equipped to accommodate them! I deal with an anxiety disorder, and pet care as well as being around animals is my life, and has helped me overcome anxiety in so many instances. I love taking my time to get to know an animal, and I treat every animal as an actual being. Animals understand us!! I pay attention to their body language and will check in with owner if anything is off! I care for every animal equally, physically treating them as my own! I will follow pet owners responsibility list to a T while respecting your time and space!

About: Hi! I'm Lee. I've cared for animals for over 20 years, including three dogs of my own, and I've been pet sitting for friends, family, and others for the past four years. I love both cats and dogs and enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether they're playful or cuddly, I focus on helping them feel comfortable and cared for. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. Every pet receives patience, attention, and plenty of affection. Pet sitting fits into my schedule very naturally because I have a flexible work life as a hairstylist. My days are usually built around client appointments, which allows me to open time for pet care in between services, early mornings, evenings, and sometimes full days when I’m not booked. On lighter workdays, I can take on drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. On slower days or weekends, I’m available for longer care or overnight stays. I plan my schedule carefully so I can give each pet my full attention, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for without rushing their time with me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they are always safe, comfortable, and on a consistent routine. I always provide fresh, clean water throughout the day so pets stay hydrated. For feeding, I keep a structured schedule so they know what to expect—breakfast is served no later than 8:00 AM and dinner is served no later than 6:00 PM, unless the owner provides a different routine. For dogs, I always make sure they are securely on a leash or harness before they step outside. Their safety is my top priority, and I stay alert to make sure they don’t get into anything dangerous, such as trash, bones, or anything on the ground that could harm them. Inside the home, I maintain a pet-friendly environment by keeping an eye on their behavior and making sure they stay away from hazards like electrical wires or anything they could chew or swallow. I also make sure they have a safe space where they can play, relax, and move around comfortably without risk. My goal is always to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel secure, cared for, and at ease while their owners are away.

About: I have worked with dogs as little as 10 weeks to senior pups! I make sure they always feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. I want every pup in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and adjust their day based on their age, energy level, and individual needs. I provide attentive, responsible care and take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and specific needs before their stay or visit

“Nicole did an excellent job in our home for an extended stay of 13 days with our 2 dogs. She was great with daily pupdates and pictures-which were greatly appreciated because we missed our babies. She dispensed meds several times a day to our senior German Shepherd and was able to keep our very active, lovable, snuggly -yet sometimes naughty Whippet puppy busy. I knew from the minute I met her that she was a great fit for us and I’d use her every time we need someone to stay or drop in for us!”

Ryan (at my request) kindly came and met us and our pets prior to our trip to get to know our dog, cat, and house. We sincerely appreciated that! Ryan kept in touch before our trip and also while we were gone with updates and photos daily. We had just moved and didn’t want to uproot our pets again and we were first time rover users ……..and Ryan did not disappoint, he exceeded expectations. We will definitely book Ryan again and we are truly grateful of the excellent care he took of our pets! Thank you Ryan!”

About: Ive had three cats and two dogs in my life. Currently I have two cats and they are my world. In many instances I've had a cat or dog that doesn't like anyone besides family come up and become my new best friend. Also have been trusted to watch multiple friends animals while on vacation because they loved our time together more than anyone else. During the week it would be a drop in sitting with minimal overnight stays after work. Which means its not out the question but not consistent. Weekends I have more flexibility for overnight stays. My cats are indoors, fed a heathly diet, and stimulated. While at the clients house its dependent on the type of animal and if the animal requires special care.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of owning many different kinds of dogs and a few cats, and caring for animals has always been something I enjoy. I also work at Pet Supplies Plus, which gives me an opportunity to be around pets and learn more about their needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to older pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I understand that every animal has their own personality and routine, and I believe in treating every pet with the same love, kindness, and respect I would give my own. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, or simply some extra company while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also understand how important it is to follow your instructions and keep you updated while you’re apart. Your pets aren’t just animals—they’re family, and I’ll treat them that way! 🐾❤️ My schedule offers some flexibility throughout the week, and I’m usually available on Thursdays. I typically work Mondays and Saturdays, but I’m available for pet care after my shifts. I’m also available after 7:30 p.m. on evenings when my wife takes over with our daughter. Since my availability can vary depending on my work schedule and family commitments, I communicate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure we find a time that works for everyone. I want to provide dependable, loving care while making sure every pet gets the attention and time they deserve. Safety, trust, and your pet’s comfort are always my priorities. As someone who has owned different kinds of dogs and cats and works at Pet Supplies Plus, I understand how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine. When caring for pets in their own homes, I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their usual feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions provided by their owners. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and a safe space to relax. I’m also happy to provide updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safe handling, secure leashes, and keeping a close eye on your pet and their surroundings. I’m comfortable caring for animals of different ages and understand that puppies, adult pets, and seniors can all have different needs. I believe trust is earned through patience, responsibility, and good communication. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and respect I give my own, because every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable!

Haley took such good care of our pup Louie while we were away for a few days. She is so warm and friendly and not only gave us consistent updates, but also answered quickly when I was anxiously checking in. I felt very comfortable knowing she was there to take care of Lou. Plus he warmed up to her and cuddled with her which says a lot about the person she is. Will definitely book with her again! 🙂

We are so glad to know and work with Jess. Sully is so pleased to have her come in. With some training, she had him learn 'circle ' which he performed for us perfectly. She also took time to groom him and taught me a lesson as well. I believe her calm and gentle spirit has a great influence on his behavior. Thanks Jess. See you soon.

I’m back again! 😁😁 After the amazing experience I had the first time, there was no question about who I was booking with again. What was originally just one stay while I was in Puerto Rico turned into me rebooking because I knew Penelope and Pablo would be in the best hands. Judith continues to go above and beyond. She keeps me updated, communicates so well, and treats my dogs with so much love and care. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and comfortable while I’m away. Thank you again, Judith, for everything you do! 🫶🏽🫶🏽

This is the third time Jessica's watched my very ancient dog, Bob, and he's not easy to watch. Bob gets medication daily, can't go up or down stairs, and needs a lot of care. She always comes when she says she will, stays until I need her, and she's been wonderfully flexible when my flights have been late (which is lucky, but so greatly appreciated). She leaves the house just as found, and I would highly recommend her!

She even handmade a toy for our cat which she still loves playing with, how sweet!
