“Barb is awesome. She took great care of our cat, Frankie. It is such a good feeling to be able to relax and enjoy your time away while someone is caring for your fur baby just like you would. I will definitely have Barb again for our next time away.”

“As always Jennifer did amazing! We've booked her so many times We've lost count. Obviously we'll be booking again in the future. Thank you for the amazing communication and going far above and beyond!”

“We have had Jenny watch our dogs multiple times and she is always amazing with them. We feel safe leaving them behind with her because we know she treats them as one of her own dogs.”

About: I grew up around lots of dogs and cats, and as an adult have been a pet parent to both cats and dogs. I'm exceptionally thoughtful, caring, and patient with pets and you can rest assured that your dogs, cats, or other pets will be in good hands with me. I'm currently employed in the gig economy (Uber/Lyft/DoorDash), meaning the days and times I work is quite flexible. I can largely work around any client's schedule. If caring for a pet in my home, I have a fenced in yard, there are no kids or other pets. If caring for a pet in a client's home I am very thoughtful, considerate, and respectful. For dog walking I carry poop-bags and depending on length can bring dog-friendly water bottles.
“Olivia was a lifesaver! We made last minute out of town plans and Olivia jumped right in. The dogs loved having her there. I could tell by the daily photos. I swear they were all smiling. I would definitely ask Olivia again.”


About: With over 17 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, I bring a well-rounded background in canine behavior, training, grooming, daycare, boarding, and veterinary support.

My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and supportive environment where pets feel comfortable and confident. Whether your pet needs patient care, structured support, or just a loving and knowledgeable professional while you’re away, you can trust they’ll be treated with respect, understanding, and genuine care. 🐾 I currently own a local grooming salon and operate a dog training service. I have a flexible schedule to meet week day needs of drop visits, walks, enrichment and dog training. I provide a calm and friendly presence for both pets and owners. Bringing my experience and knowledge I help to create a full and balanced experience for the pets. With my 17 years experience in the pet industry working and I try to make every visit and every pet happy and healthy.

“Sara arrived promptly and asked all the right questions. She was mindful of understanding any rules or boundaries we have set for our fur baby, who is an energetic Siberian Husky. We had an stress-free Mother’s Day knowing Sara was taking care of them! Thank you Sara!”

“Tara was extremely professional and took good care of our babies while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond: she brought our packages upstairs, kept our porch plants watered and our outside bird feeder filled (so our cats would have their "tv") We came home to happy plants, happy cats and happy birds. Thank you again!”

About: I’m great with dogs because I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love being around them. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routines, and needs, whether that means high-energy playtime, calm walks, or just quiet companionship. I’m very observant of behavior and body language, so I can quickly tell when a dog is excited, anxious, or needs extra care. I’m reliable with feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions, and I always prioritize safety and comfort. Most importantly, I treat every dog like my own and I make sure they feel loved, secure, and happy while their owners are away. 🐶❤️ I have 2 dachshunds of my own♥️ I am currently a Teacher, I work from 8-3:45 during the week!

About: I grew up always having a pet to call my own. I have recently adopted a 2 year old pitbull name Gizmo! We are always out for a nice stroll on the beach, sitting on a restaurant patio or cuddling on the couch watching a scary movie. My love for animals started at a young age. I grew up with all different kinds of animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits and even a hedgehog. I am able to easily adapt to all types of dogs and routines. I am a responsible and dependable caretaker with always room in my heart for another animal! I am available after 3:00pm everyday of the week except for Mondays! I have a full time job during the week but will always make time to care for your pet in the evenings. I have grown up around cats and dogs my entire life so I am open to all breeds and personalities! I will adjust my energy and personality based on your pet's needs.
“Karen is a very kind dog sitter. She met every one of my expectations and more. I was able to enjoy my vacation because I knew the pups were being well cared for at home. Thank you Karen!”


About: Hi my name is Amanda. I was fortunate to grow up with a dog and two cats. I also cared for and played with my family and friends' pets. To me, pets make a house a home! Animals are hard not to love, so it makes them easy to care for. I'm comfortable with all kinds of care from feeding, walking, playing and petting, to even giving oral medications when needed. You'll never have to worry about a thing at all. While you're away, your pet will have a comfy and loving home to stay and play around! When it comes to house-sitting, we're a one-stop shop. We can water your plants and take out the garbage in addition to caring for your pets, for example. Due to the parking situation in downtown areas/areas without parking, we charge an additional $5 for house-sitting. My contact information is on the website. Feel free to contact me at anytime. See you all soon! Thank you and God bless you and your family.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, from hamsters to horses and lots in between. I’m passionate about giving your pet all of the TLC they need! I currently work full time as a nurse but have a good availability around that. Even more so if I can have my mini tag a long with, I would love for him to learn by experiencing pets with me. I am very reliable, observant, and can roll with the punches. I will take care of your pets and home as if they’re my own. I have good experience in understanding animals and anticipating what they need.

Derby pet parents share their Rover experiences
This is our second time having Barb take care of our cat while we were away. It’s great to be able to go on vacation and know your cat is being well cared for. Our cat only lays on my lap. She won’t go to anyone else even family. Each day I received a picture of her cuddled up on Barb’s lap. It doesn’t get any better than that.
