As always, Isabel took great care of our two cats and gave us so much peace of mind when one of them gave us a little health scare. She was extremely communicative and went above and beyond to make sure that they were well and that we were updated every step of the way. It's clear that Isabel has a passion to care for animals, and we always appreciate the attention, knowledge, and thoughtfulness she puts into her visits (and our cats do too)!

About: I have a deep genuine love for all animals. I absolutely love dogs, I have experience with big overly energetic dogs and small ones as well. I’m very energetic, caring and compassionate so I know your pet will enjoy it’s time with me. I like to stay fit so walking with your pet won’t just be a job but a fun enjoyable activity. I have a lot of patience with dogs and cats. I have cat handling training and I also have my own 3yr old cat. I have a free schedule I’m very understanding and flexible when it comes to time and availability. I’m a naturally caring and nurturing person so giving your pet any type of special care won’t be a problem for me.

Gabriella is fantastic with our young dog! We've had Gabriella over a few times for our energetic German Shepherd who can be quite a handful, and she is so kind and patient with him. Allowing someone into your home and allowing someone to take care of your pet is a big step, and we'd never used Rover before. Gabriella made me feel much more comfortable with the process and it has worked out so well. Thank you Gabriella!

About: My family has had two dogs for the last 9 years. I have experience dog sitting for all sorts of dog breeds and ages. I have some experience watching more elderly low maintenance cats. Experienced with anxious dogs, older dogs, and dogs requiring additional attention whether through ensuring they receive their medications, watching out for injuries, etc. Currently searching for full time work so my schedule is very flexible. I can pop over quickly during the day, spend the whole day with your fur baby, or spend the night! I treat your pets like I would my own. I’m good for a snuggle, couch time, fetch in the backyard, walks, whatever your pet needs! I follow any special instructions you leave and spend as much time as you’d like me to with your animals.

About: I’ve dedicated my life to animals. Whether they have fur or scales I love them all. I started working in kennels then proceeded to work in the veterinary field then switched to grooming. I landed in veterinary medicine again, my passion. I’m skilled in injections, if your fur baby needs insulin or subcutaneous fluids, I’m your girl. If all they need is love and care, I’m there. My schedule changes week to week. If I work each week day I will have Saturday off. If I’m off a weekday then I work Saturday until 12ish. I’m always available to chat and try my best to fit the pets needs into my schedule. I have cats and they have never been around any other pets so I would not do pet care in my home. I always worry about the mental well beings of everyone’s pets.

About: I've spent over 15 years caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. From energetic puppies needing structure and play, to senior pets requiring patience and gentle care, I tailor my approach to each animal's unique needs. I've also volunteered at local shelters, where I gained hands-on experience with pets who need extra love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as weekend care. Because my time is split between part-time work and training, I can give your pet the attention, consistency, and companionship they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment that minimizes stress and keeps routines consistent. I follow any instructions carefully—feeding, walks, medications, or house rules—so your pet feels secure and cared for just like they would with you. In your home, I treat the space with respect and maintain a clean, secure setting. If pets are staying with me, they’ll enjoy a quiet, supervised space with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I never leave pets unattended for long and always make sure they’re in a safe, enclosed area indoors or on-leash outside. Communication is key—I’ll keep you updated with messages, photos, or videos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands.

About: I’ve had pets throughout my entire life. Since 2008 I’ve helped foster “ruffly” 150 animals of all sizes, ages, tails and ears. I currently have a rescue cat, and I’ve had many of my own dogs as well over the years. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available pretty much anytime during the week, some Saturdays (especially during the winter) and most Sundays to help take care of your pets needs. I treat animals with care and respect. I make sure to give them the love, kindness, and compassion that they deserve. I take care of my animal’s health and safety needs by taking the time to play with them, feeding them the best foods, and paying attention to any physical and mental changes.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the pet-sitting experience Jennifer provided for our family! I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and loving pet sitter. We’ll be booking her again! Our cats, usually shy and cautious with strangers, immediately warmed up to Jennifer. She took the time to bond with them, and I noticed they were calm and happy when we returned home. Our large dog was handled with ease by Jennifer despite his size and high energy. She went on walks with him, played fetch, and gave him all the love and attention he craved. He was so content when we got home—clearly, he had been well-exercised and cared for. I was also pleasantly surprised that Jennifer fed our fish while we were away which wasn't required but was truly appreciated. Jennifer kept us updated with photos and messages throughout her time with our pets, which gave us peace of mind. I'm so happy we found her!
