David was so great helping with my new pup! He introduced me to some new training tips and would always leave a detailed report after walking my puppy. I really appreciated his flexibility and effort to teach me as well as my puppy. Super helpful having David be around Pico while I was at the office, very respectful of my house/belongings. Would definitely recommend David to new puppy owners and dog owners across the board!

Anita was fantastic! She took great care of our two cats for two weeks, and they were happy and well cared for when we returned. Anita communicated very well throughout our trip, kept us updated regularly, and followed all of our instructions carefully. We truly appreciated her care, and we would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.

About: I've been around animals my entire live and started caring for them at a young age. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of working with puppies, senior pets, those with disabilities, timid animals, and breeds often labeled as "aggressive." My training experience includes leash and off-leash commands, bike and walking etiquette, toy-focused training (like fetch, returning toys, and managing aggression), and fun tricks such as shake, roll over, and even finding a specific family member or pet by name. I have experience helping pets adjust to new homes or new additionas to the family, and supporting animals working through fear or trauma--wheather it's discomfort around certain people or anxiety triggered by things like skateboards or bikes. Most importantly, I genuinely love spending time with animals--whether it is playing, snuggling, or simply being in their company. I currently work from home allowing for some flexibility with where I work and taking breaks throughout the day to help care for your pet. I pay close attention to instructions left and special care and attention to the needs of your pet. I like to be as fully prepared as possible and like to plan out time needed to get to and from your home, time to a vet or hospital in worse case scenarios, and be aware of any changes in environment or behavior of you pet to ensure their safety and should something happen clear and concise answers to a vet for better care and treatment.

Wow! Relief and peace of mind is exactly what Sammy provided during our booking! Thank you SOO much for the top tier care and service during the drop-ins. I got clear and prompt communication from Sammy through out the whole stay. I have two big, kind of difficult, dogs and that was my initial worry to find someone that could be a good fit for them and even though Sammy is fairly new to Rover, her expertise and action tells me she’s a natural and a wonderful care taker! Thank you again SOO much Sammy, I know who to trust my pups to now!!

About: Hi, I'm Femke. A lifelong animal lover, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for friends, family, and neighbors for almost a decade. What started as a hobby quickly became something I couldn’t imagine not doing. Now, I’m excited to turn my passion for dogs into a full-time career, preparing for a degree in Cynology (dog behavior) next year. With hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I’ve developed a calm, patient, and intuitive approach. I’ve walked high-energy pups who need structure and stimulation, cared for seniors who require slower walks and medication, and provided companionship to anxious or shy dogs who just need someone gentle and understanding. I’m confident in handling leash reactivity, administering basic medications, and keeping routines consistent to help dogs feel safe and secure. My focus is always on building trust, so your dog feels comfortable with me, and fully enjoys the time we spend together. I’m studying part-time to prepare for my Cynology (dog behavior) degree next year, and have no other major commitments - your dog gets my full attention. My days revolve around walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, so I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and (most) holidays. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I take the time to build trust with each dog, starting with a meet-and-greet to understand their routines, triggers, and preferences. During walks, I always use secure leashes and harnesses and stick to safe, familiar routes. I will not do off-leash unless in client-approved spaces and with your explicit consent. When caring for pets in your home, I maintain your routines, respect your space, and provide real-time updates with photos and notes, so you’re always in the loop. My goal is to give you peace of mind and give your dog(s) the care and companionship they deserve.

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats throughout my life. Recently, I started taking care of some of my friend’s pets and have gained valuable experience through them. I have taken care of cats of all sizes and energy levels, and have taken care of small-medium dogs. I’m currently working a full-time job from 7-4, but can swing before or after work, and during lunch time for an hour to take care of your pet! I am free weeknights after work, as well as on weekends. I can do drop-in care every 4 hours on weekdays, can stay overnight if needed, and/or can stay all day on the weekends. I do not have pets of my own, and live in a studio apartment so if your pet will be at my home, you will not need to worry about another pet being there. I have some plants that can be put away in a safe place if needed. If I will be staying at your home or doing drop-in care, I will make sure to treat it with respect and leave it how it was when I arrived.

About: I've been around animals my entire life and have years of firsthand experience caring for both cats and dogs. As a longtime pet owner, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, basic grooming, and following established routines. I know every pet has their own personality, energy level, and boundaries, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and secure. Whether they want lots of activity and attention or simply someone nearby for companionship, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I'll treat your pets with the same patience, affection, and care I'd want for my own—and keep you updated with plenty of photos along the way. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate daytime visits, walks, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I'm also available for extended stays when planned in advance. I'm happy to work around your pet's normal feeding, walking, playtime, and care routine so things stay as familiar and consistent as possible while you're away. I take the responsibility of caring for both your pets and your home seriously. I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, home access, and any special needs or behaviors I should know about. I'll pay close attention to your pet's comfort and behavior, keep their environment clean and safe, and communicate promptly if anything seems unusual. You'll also receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention.

Heidi was the perfect choice for our dogs! Yuzu can be a little nervous around new people, Heidi knew exactly how to earn her trust slowly and at her own pace. She was very communicative throughout the entire day care and sent us lots of photos, which we really appreciated. Our dogs looked so happy and comfortable with her, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We will definitely book with Heidi again!
