“Thank you Brianne for your loving care and compassion for Goldie in his new home while we were away for the weekend. We have come home to a happy cat who has been well cared for and is more settled in his new space! Lil Kilgallen”
“If you're looking for someone who truly cares, Jessica is the one! She’s incredibly responsive and has such a gentle, loving touch with our elderly dog. I trust her completely and will definitely keep booking her services. She’s reliable, punctual, and always goes above and beyond. If you want peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in great hands, you won’t regret choosing Jessica. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our sweet pup!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I can remember. From house sitting, to walking them, to even taking care of my own dog. I’ve worked with different breeds and ages, and I love them all! I stay at home mostly throughout the week, and I’ve been wanting to get out a couple of times, and this would be the perfect opportunity to take care of your dogs in walking, or dropping by to play! I live in an apartment complex, so I would have to go to where you are to walk/play with your dog, or I could take them to a dog park!
“Teresa did a fantastic job checking in on our cats! She was available for a last-minute holiday booking, was super patient with our shy cat, and we felt safe and comfortable having her stop by our home.”
“Love Jennifer’s report cards! She always sends so many pictures and updates me on what’s going on and what she cleaned! I know my cats are in good hands when she goes over to visit and take care of them!”
“Ildiko was amazing! I went away for a week and she came by to check on my cat Juju. Juju usually hides from strangers but Ildiko was very patient and eventually got lots of affection from Juju! I will definitely try to use Ildiko again in the future!!”
About: I’ve had a dog for almost my whole life, so I’m experienced caring for pets of all ages. I’ve also pet sat for other families with both large and small dogs, and I’m comfortable adjusting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. In addition, I used to help my mom with cat sitting, so I’m familiar with caring for cats as well. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently not working until the end of June, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting all week. I enjoy spending time with animals. I’m also reliable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications if needed, and following any specific instructions to make sure pets stay happy, comfortable, and cared for. I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I provide plenty of supervision, playtime, and affection. In a client’s home I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s normal routine and comfort. I prioritize building trust with both pets and owners by being attentive, patient, and communicative.
About: Hi, I’m Nathan! Animal care isn't just a hobby for me—it’s a central part of my life. I have years of hands-on experience looking after a diverse family of pets, ranging from high-energy working dogs to delicate toy breeds, independent felines, and backyard poultry. Whether your pet has four legs or two wings, I provide the specialized, attentive care they deserve. I understand that no two dogs are the same, and I adapt my approach to fit your pup’s unique size, breed personality, and energy level. Because I am currently on summer break, I have completely open, flexible availability! My schedule is wide open, which means pet care is my absolute top priority right now. Whether you need last-minute coverage, daily recurring walks, or extended house sitting over the summer months, I am available and ready to help! When I am house sitting or drop-in visiting, your home and your pets are treated with the utmost respect. I pride myself on clear communication, punctuality, and sending you regular photo updates so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away. I can’t wait to meet your unique pet family! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet.

Derwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
This is the longest time I’ve been away from my cat and I felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands with Rachel. She was able to give Pixel her oral medication and always provided detailed updates on her demeanor and playfulness for the given visit. I looked forward to seeing the summary and pictures each time!
Kate accepted our last minute request to drop by to check on our cat while we were out. Our cat is elderly, shy and not very friendly, but Kate managed to get her out of her shell and play/pet her. She sent many pictures and details about how she was doing and it was great peace of mind. We came home to a happy, well fed and well taken care of kitty. Thanks Kate! Happy to recommend if you need her to take care of your kitty.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended! Hanah is very reliable, trustworthy, and easy to work with. She is clearly knowledgeable and experienced with dogs, and she takes the time to understand both your needs and your dog’s needs. Her expertise and genuine care gave me complete peace of mind. I was very pleased with the service she provided and would not hesitate to use her again in the future. I highly recommend Hanah to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter or dog walker.
We used Leticia recently to watch our 3 dogs. She did an excellent job. She was communicative, flexible, warm, and friendly. She came out ahead of time to meet our pets and asked appropriate questions. She also sent lots of pictures of our pets so that we knew they were happy and well cared for. We will absolutely be looking for her again in the future.
Nicole was absolutely wonderful! My wife and I looked forward to her daily updates and appreciated the videos and pictures she sent us of our little boy, Bruce (4 years old Bombay cat). She was detailed in her daily updates which provided us with a sense of ease, knowing that she was taking such good care of him and our home. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her services for any future travel :)
