“Wendy was very communicative, prompt, and followed all of the instructions perfectly! The pups told me she was super nice to them too! Will definitely ask her to watch them again in the future.”
“Angelina was amazing! She definitely helped us a ton! Our babies loved having her visit with them and we definitely had a piece of mind. We have never let anyone watch our babies before and she made it very comfortable for us! Thanks again!”

“Abby, with help from her family, was an outstanding pet sitter. My dog, Maisie, and cat, Laela, adored Abby and her family. My cat, Laela, sat on the couch when Abby's Mom came for an assigned visit in the same way she sits on the couch next to me to be stroked. Both Abby's Mom and Sadie, Abby's sister, were so very conscientious, and my interaction with them was delightful. If I were to go on another trip, which occurs infrequently, I would definitely want to hire Abby and the exremely helpful members of her lovely family again.”

About: I have had animals in my life since I was a little girl. I am self employed and work from home, which blesses me with the freedom and flexibility to give both time and attention to your beloved. Between my husband and I there is almost always someone home to love and care for your furbabies. We know that your furbaby is more than a pet; that they are family. Know they will be well cared for and loved just like they are our very own. I've owned several animals from dogs, cats, chickens, pythons, gators, fish, birds...etc When I say I love animals, I love all animals. I've cared for and owned many dog breeds since I was a child from Mutts, Beagles, Labs, and a Chihuahua (who was trained like a lab). I've watched, and cared for other people's furry family members many times as well. I have also cared for special need pups such as high anxiety, trauma, stressed shelter pups, gave medication, and watched over elderly dogs. It's NO challenge to do what needs to be done to make sure ALL your loved ones great, small, and of different backgrounds, and personalities feel safe, secure, and loved. Since our beloved little dog passed we have chosen to not own any more but have plenty of love and attention to give to yours! We don't ever watch pups from different families unless owners tell us it's ok otherwise. So unless you say it's ok, rest assured that your pups will be the only one's in our care. Thank you for entrusting us with your beloved family member! We are both excited and honored to be able to give your sweet one's a mini vacation of their own while you're away. My husband and I are self employed and spend most of our time at home. While you're loved one is in our care, they will be our main focus and have all of our attention. We have a ton of space to be able to take great walks. Unfortunately it's not fenced so your pup will need to be leashed unless trained to not need one and personally told to not use one. We do our best to acclimate ourselves to each furbaby's personality. Some are super active so we make sure they get tons of playtime. If they are snugglers, they get lots of snuggles. If they like to just relax, then that's what we'll do. We just want any that are in our care to feel right at home.

About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely enjoys creating a calm, safe, and caring environment for both pets and homes while owners are away. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, communicative, and comfortable helping with everything from walks and playtime to feeding routines, medication reminders, litter box maintenance, mail collection, plant care, and overnight house-sitting. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and home, so I always try to provide thoughtful updates, consistency, and attentive care. Outside of pet sitting, I have a background in creative/social media work and customer service, which has made me very organized and responsive. I’m currently looking to build long-term relationships with local clients and would love to help make travel or busy schedules less stressful for you, your home, and your pets! I grew up with cats (and have my own now) and learned and loved on dogs at my Grandma's house. I currently have a flexible schedule outside of my regular work hours and enjoy building pet sitting into my routine. I’m available for cat drop-ins, overnight house sitting, feeding visits, and general home check-ins depending on timing and location. I try to keep my availability updated and always communicate clearly about scheduling, visit timing, and updates while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I always aim to create a calm, respectful, and safe environment while following your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m attentive to details, mindful of household instructions, and committed to keeping communication open through updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while away.

I look forward to the opportunity to care for your beloved pets and provide you with the peace of mind you deserve. I have experience with senior dogs as well. I will give regular updates, with a peace of mind. While treating your home with the same care and respect as o do your pets maintaining cleanliness and security. Incorporating pet care into my daily or weekly routine is essential to ensure the health and happiness of my furry friends. we take morning walks. I provide fresh food and clean water at these times. We take evening walks or Playtime. I clean their bedding, litter box, or cages. We also take time out to buy pet supplies such as food, treats, and hygiene products. Remove hazards such as toxic plants, chemicals, or small objects that could be ingested. Secure Boundaries: I make sure the yard is securely fenced to prevent. For consistency, I like to stick to the pet's usual routines, including feeding schedules and exercise patterns. This consistency helps build trust. Daily logs of the pet's activities, are kept, including feeding, bathroom breaks, and any unusual behavior. I will share photos or videos with the pet owner to provide reassurance and maintain trust. Prioritize their safety, build trust through care and attention, and create a comfortable environment, and you'll provide exceptional pet care services.

“We’ve used Alexis countless times to care for our 3 dogs and cat, and every single time she exceeds our expectations. She watched them again today, and just like always, everything went perfectly. Alexis is incredibly reliable—even when we’ve needed her last-minute, she’s always come through for us. Our pets absolutely love her, and it’s clear she loves them right back. We honestly couldn’t ask for a better sitter. She gives us total peace of mind, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”

About: Hello there! Let me take the stress of having to find a sitter for your pets off of your shoulders! I love getting to meet new dogs and cats. I currently work at an animal shelter once a week so I feel very comfortable with handling different varieties of cats and dogs. I am very reliable when it comes to taking care of others pets. I know how to follow directions and make sure the needs of the pets are taken care of. Currently, I cannot board any pets. I can come to your home if needed to let your dog out, play with your cat and of course make sure your furry children have food to eat. I’d love to be your next go to pet sitter. Your pets will thank you. The only day I am not available is Tuesday since that is the day I’m working at the animal shelter. Other than that, my schedule is usually open. Currently I am not able to board any pets right now due to living in an apartment. I have 2 pets of my own already and cannot have anymore due to the apartment rules. For my own pets, I let my dog out at least 3 times a day and feed her twice a day. I also feed my cat twice a day and empty out his litter box when it’s full.
“Highly recommend Yentl for any of your pet care needs! This was my first time using Rover and I really lucked out finding Yentl. Since it was my first time leaving my cat with someone new I was really nervous and she took amazing care of my baby. Thanks again Yen!!!”

I am very familiar and comfortable with all size of dogs as I have owned so many different breeds over the years. From Great danes to small dogs. I love spending time with my pets as well as getting to know and spend time with others. I understand the importance of doing what is asked by the owner of the pets!
