She gets along with big dogs and small dogs, loves to play and will keep your babies company! I also have two dog crates if they need to be crated, big yard and pool for your dogs to enjoy! Your dogs will also have plenty of potty breaks depending if they have their own potty schedule. I offer a very fun, friendly, and safe environment for your dog(s)!
“Brooke was wonderful and caring. She took great care of our cat for over two weeks. Brooke does seem to prefer to visit later in the evenings, which wasn’t a problem once I figured this out. We will definitely be using her again.”
About: Cats were my first pets. Dogs and cats are now my babies and a big part of my life! I have decades of experience with pets in animal shelter settings and in my own home. I can give insulin shots and other meds as needed. How can I help? I am a retiree who loves her two dogs and her cat, and I can't wait to love on yours! I am a part-time sitter with decades of experience with animals. My goal is to give others peace of mind when they have to be away from their pets short-term. Safety of your babies is my priority. I will make sure I understand their needs well in advance of my visit. Photos of your pets will be texted to you during my visit so you can see how they are doing in your absence.
“We loved Lily! She was so personable and took very good care of our little Lucy. She sent cute pictures and was very communicative. We're very picky on who watches her just because she's 15 and very hard of hearing. But Lily did not make us worry one bit that Lucy was in good hands. I will not hesitate to contact her again!”

“Kumar was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! I was especially nervous about leaving because one of them, Relic, is a formerly feral girl who’s very shy with new people. (Beezle, my other cat, is a social butterfly—toss him a treat and he’s instantly your best friend.) But Kumar handled Relic’s quirks with so much patience and care. He came by twice a day, sent me photos and videos every visit, and never hesitated to check in if he had questions. His communication was fantastic, and he totally put my mind at ease. If I need a sitter again, I’ll be crossing my fingers that Kumar’s available—he did an amazing job, and I’m so grateful!”

About: I have loved and cared for many types of animals since childhood and have had two Beagle babies of my own for almost 10 years now! I will care for your pets as if they are my own. My communication and close attention to detail helps me to follow specific instructions, and as I am very particular about my pets - I understand how to ease the worries associated with someone else caring the way you would. Frequent updates and pictures is the way I roll so you won’t have to worry about a thing. Flexibility is everything to me, also being a caretaker to a grandparent, so if you are not sure if I am a good fit… let’s talk about it! My schedule is a balancing act but I am lucky enough to work from home, which allows me more flexibility with seeing and caring for my furry friends. I understand some things happen in life and I would love to help where I can! I will care for your pets in the exact manner you request, along with extra love, doting, attention, patience and empathy. Trust is everything when it comes to what you love, and my goal is for everyone to have the best experience.

I strive to work with them as much as possible and to help make a difference for busy pet owners! :) My pets are offered endless play time with enrichment activities at home!

“Shawna was so kind and attentive to my girl Athena! She even watered some plants she noticed were dry!! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for pet care :) This was my first time using rover so I was nervous but it truly couldn't have worked out better!!”


“Brittany is amazing with our 3 dogs (2 pit mixes and a schipperke) and 2 cats. She took such great care of them during our trip, followed our instructions and provided us with updates. We could tell that they loved her being there with them. All in all, we're blown away by the service we received and continue to receive with Brittany.”
“Isaac did really well on our first in-home visit with our German Shepherd, Luna. For a dog that has massive separation anxiety, she was very calm when we got home. I think having Isaac come to the house to let her out and feed her, instead of taking her somewhere to be taken care of, made a big difference. I would not hesitate to ask Isaac to take care of Luna again.”

“Alana was right on time for multiple visits to care for and check on my big Akita/husky pup. She sent pictures of him playing on each visit and sent me texts updating me on his status. Couldn't ask for better!”

About: As not just an animal lover, but a mother of two, I feel like a natural born caregiver. I have experience caring for elderly as a former CNA, and have been in a home with animals since I was a child. I've raised puppies and love cats. I currently have one cat and one dog, a Texas heeler named Mac! I very much look forward to sharing my extra time and love with your furry family members.

About: I'm a credentialed Veterinary Technician who is capable of handling all dogs- big or small, as well as all temperaments. Special needs dogs are my forte (diabetics, seniors, etc) and hold a special place in my heart. I just finished my associates in veterinary technology. I'm currently working that field but I have a bit of space to be flexible. I'm also open to sitting other animals including exotics like birds, Chinchillas and Sugar Gliders, I've had them before! I have two dogs of my own, one Miniature Schnauzers, one Akita mix and two cats. I've been taking care of animals since I could walk! Now I have a career continuing it and I love it! Feel free to ask me anything! I don't currently do in home petsitting or day boarding unless you're a consistent client- certain arrangements can be made. This can be canines or felines. I am blessed to work from home so I’m able to house sit without restrictions as long as there’s working internet. I am able to be flexible and work with schedules as needed, whether short term or long term. I like to keep routines fairly similar as when pet parents are home with their pets, so they don’t get too stressed. If that’s going on a 4 mile hike everyday or simply taking an hour to sit on the couch and give belly rubs, I’m their gal.
