17. Charlene B.
About: I have hands-on experience with dogs of all kinds, from shelter rescues to puppies. Raising dogs from the puppy stage has given me insight into their different needs, personalities, and behaviors. I also have a bit of experience in grooming from taking care of dogs of my own and some training skills to help with obedience or potty training. My well-rounded experience will ensure that your fur-babies are well taken care of. I work overnight shifts so I have the flexibility to provide care during the day when most people are at work. I can be there for pets when they need companionship, exercise, and attention the most. My routine allows me to balance rest with a structured schedule for pet care to make sure their needs are met. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I keep a safe and clean environment for my pets. The spaces are pet-proofed with water always available and cozy resting areas. My apartment is also a minute walk to a dog-friendly park for maximum exercise. In a client’s home, maintaining their routines and preferences is important to me to make sure their pets feel secure and everything is kept familiar. I keep communication open with updates and photos so clients can feel assured their pets are well cared for and loved.

“Allore was fantastic!! This was my first time using Rover and I am very happy with the way she took care of my cat. She sent me photos and videos of my pet and it was a huge relief to have someone checking in on them.”
19. Sandy L.
About: I am super patient and would love to help you out! I also have experience with basic obedient puppy training :)! Have had cats all of my life and my puppy the past year. I am pretty flexible, my current job schedule is always consistent. I don’t work too many hours so I always have more than enough time for my own furr babies. I am always cleaning and made sure to have my pets fed morning and night. Litter box is always cleaned and refilled. I also make sure there’s nothing out that could be harmful for the babies.
20. Triba M.
“Triba has been taking excellent care of my dog King and I enthusiastically recommend her pet sitting services. I am always comfortable that my dog and even apartment are in good hands with Triba. I can tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of animals and feels deeply responsible for their well-being. My dog feels comfortable with her and responds well to her. Triba is reliable and also flexible. She also is responsive when I check in via phone or text. Every household and every pet is unique I believe Triba is able to adapt her caregiving to accommodate those differences and can adjust comfortably to any situation. -Caroline M.”
