“Lisa is so kind and gentle with our boys (Bull Mastiff mix older dog, 2 Cats). The updates/notes about check-ins are wonderful and keep us updated while we are away. Everyone enjoys when she visits.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats basically my whole life. I currently have 2 dogs and 4 cats. My dogs are really well behaved for there age and get along really well with other dogs. I’m currently working full time, 8 hour days, 5 days a week, but I live with my boyfriend, and he is currently doing online schooling full time, so he will be home with your pup when I’m at work. I have a fenced in yard that they’ll be able to run around and play with my 2 dogs. I also have 2 kennels in case your dog needs to be kenneled at night, or when I’m not home.
“Anita did a great job with my cats on her first booking with me. My cats are seniors and they appeared happy and healthy when we arrived home. Anita was very conscientious of what needed to be done for them and followed through with no problems. She sent awesome updates daily. I would highly recommend Anita for your cat care!”

About: I've taken care of a wide variety of dogs, as well as have been involved in dog shows, AKC pedigree events, canine good citizen training, and am patient with dogs while being tolerant to their antics. I am pretty flexible as I can wake up early, take care over my lunch, and late at night as well as I stay up late. I am careful but easy going with pets. I follow details for feeding, hygiene, and medication if needed. I require a meet and greet before providing services, to ensure I can properly handle the needs of your pet, as well as your pet getting along with me -- as you never know who they may like or dislike -- and want to ensure safety and proper care is given. I will record details of feeding, hygiene and medication to ensure I am consistent on their needs.
About: I’ve grown up raising 2 toy poodles from my childhood. Now as an adult I recently adopted my first dog of my own, Mabel, who is a 1yr old lab! I also have horses, so have been around all sorts of animals my whole life. Love any and all sizes and breeds of pups! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible and can do last minute/short notice requests no problem! If you need me to spend a little more time with your pet, I can easily bring my work computer with me. I would treat your home as my own. Follow any/all rules you may have as well as rules for your pet. My dog is crate trained when away so I am comfortable having anything to do around crating.
“Gabrielle was the best. It was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was prompt and took amazing care of my cats including my girl with special needs. Gabrielle had great communication throughout and took some of the cutest photos.”
About: I've had three black labs in my life, who have turned me into a dog obsessed human! When I attend social gatherings, I am usually found hanging out with the dog giving it some loving attention. When I was younger I walked my neighbors' dogs. One of these dogs was deaf and I learned different ways to communicate with him. I am friendly and compassionate and will provide your pet with warmth and snuggles while you are away! I work full time during the week, but evenings and most weekends I'm free to care for dogs. Whether your pup is looking for a quick walk, a mozy around the neighborhood, an active, engaging play session, or an overnighter- I will, with the occasional help of my labrador, Bella along with our dog friend, Frankie, make sure to keep your pup happy and occupied. I have a fenced in yard, a couple of friendly dogs of my own, and can crate your pup with their own crate, so please provide if crating is preferred. I prefer a meet and greet to ensure a good fit for your pup. That would look different depending on the service. Dog walking and House Sitting: I will meet you and your fur friend at your home - this will help establish trust and familiarity for the dog while you are there. At this point we can go over the safest entry into your home, routines for your pup, and any specific care requirements. Doggy Day Care and Boarding: You will meet at my home. Where I will bring my two dogs out to meet you and your pup (everybody leashed) and we can talk and sniff and ensure initial vibes are correct for everybody's safety. When we confirm that the dogs are showing no signs of threat/discomfort, we can move everybody into the gated area of our yard and let your dog off leash. We have lots of smells and space to roam about, so this should be an exciting little adventure for your friend. At this point you can share any specific care instructions and routines important to your dog's happiness.
About: I grew up from childhood in a family with dogs around all the time. I brought home my first puppy in the last 6 months, he's a husky just like I had in my teenage years. Training him went super well and its been one of the best experiences of my adult life having him around. I absolutely adore animals and I've been a nanny for several families over the past 10+ years, where I've cared for pets as well as children whether just on a normal daily basis or while the families were out of town. I'm currently a freelance photographer and I generally work from home most of the time which offers me a good bit of flexibility and free time to take on some odd jobs like pet-sitting and or childcare. I have a fenced in yard and a high energy friendly husky to play with. I also drive a 4runner that'd be easy to load up and take a couple pups to the parks nearby and/or it’s a great neighborhood to go for a long walk/run.
“Grace and Jonathan were able to step in last minute to take care of Russet, which was much appreciated. I think he enjoyed his time with them!”
“Excellent sitter with great communication!”
“Tiffani was amazing! Super communicative. Her and Duke had fun on their walk. She followed instructions and I will be asking her to help out in the near future. Thanks so much!”
“Julia is the absolute best! I can rest easy and enjoy my time away knowing she is taking car of my dogs. I got so much detailed feedback and pictures! Even a video of my dogs happy and playing while I’m away. One of our dogs has terrible separation anxiety and needs medications administered daily and the other dog has some issues with strangers and resource guarding. She is super knowledgeable, patient, and works with them so well! Very thankful to have found her for my fur babies!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10, now I’m 24. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have 4 cats and 1 dog. At home before I moved out on my own I took care of our family animals which included pigs, chickens, dogs, cats, lizards , snakes, turtles!! I’ve always been very passionate about animals. I stay at home and looking to meet lots of new animal friends doing this. I have a very open schedule and open availability. :) Safety is my number one priority, and making sure your animals are happy and comfortable. Always want to build trust with you and your pet.
About: I have always loved animals. I grew up taking care of dogs and now that I have moved away from home, I found that I love watching other's pets. I have experience watching my friends and families pets, which gave me a lot of experience caring for different breeds of dogs, ranging from smaller to bigger dogs. I have the patience and experience to make your dog feel safe and cared for. I am currently enrolled in college and I have time in between classes for pet care and most of my nights after 3:00pm are mostly open. During the summer months, I am very flexible because I work part time and get to pick my hours for work. I do not have a problem with the pet being free roaming throughout the apartment while I am there, but I can use a crate if thats what the owner is more comfortable with. While taking the pet outside, I will always put them on a leash because I do not have a fenced in yard. I am pretty flexible with how the owner wants the pet to be cared for, as long as that is communicated in advance.
“She did a great job! We had a meet and greet that went well. She routinely stayed longer than the required time just to get to know my cats better. Will definitely be asking for her services again.”
“Thanks Renee! Everything was taken care of and we all loved the pictures you sent every day. I could tell you played with them a bunch because after eating they led me to the toy basket 😊 I loved it.”
