She treated her with the utmost care and even brought her little toys which was so kind of her to do 🥹💖 Our home was spotless and well-taken care of as well. Hadija shared videos and photos frequently between meals/playtime and was very communicative/quick to respond.

Ill definitely be reaching out for further services.”
About: I have had pets of my own since I was 13! In college, I became a professional dog trainer for PetSmart and puppy raiser for The Seeing Eye puppy raising program. Not only have I cared for a household of my own four pets, but have pet and house sat for many of my family, friends, and coworkers! My hybrid schedule at work gives me the flexibility to care for pets on lunch breaks and weeknights after 5pm as well as unlimited time to spend with your fur babies on the weekends! At home, I have two friendly large dogs, as well as a fenced in yard for plenty of exercise. Constant supervision is the most important thing to me when caring for your fur babies!
“I was impressed with Kim! From day one, the cats bonded with her, which is unusual, especially when meeting someone new. She went above and beyond doing what was asked, including crushing pills, giving them attention if they wanted it and opening the door so they could get some fresh air and sun through the screen. By the third day they were following her around the house. She's light on her feet and very patient with them. To add perspective, when my adult children come home, the cats hide, even though two of the cats grew up with the kids. Before the week was over, I had already booked her for several other times this summer!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has grown up with dogs and have had a sweet cat of my own for the past 7 years. Caring for pets has always been second nature to me, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. You can also expect plenty of photo updates, so you can stay connected and worry-free. I’d love the chance to care for your pets and give them all the love they deserve! I am currently working a hybrid schedule, which allows me to be flexible during the week. I am also available on weekends and am happy to accommodate. I have a fenced in yard and a sweet black lab that can keep your pet company. I can also separate them if needed. I also have a 7 year old Russian Blue that is dog and cat friendly.
About: I owned dogs during the beginning years of my life. Then i owned a rabbit for a bit. Now I am a cat mom. I also love snakes too. I have the weekend off and I really want something fun to do ony spare time. I am responsible and have tons of experience with animals. I love their energy. I live in a lower part of a building and I have only one door. So I will always have the door closed. I will have fences to protect each animal.
“Charlottle was so great with our fur baby! Was on time checked in and kept us updated and sent pictures to help us missing him! Our dog was so happy and she took great care of him and followed all our instructions perfectly! 10/10 care!”
About: I have a genuine passion for working with dogs and would love the opportunity to care for your pet. I bring years of hands-on experience from growing up with a family dog, and I've recently gained additional experience helping train and care for my sister's new rescue puppy. This combination of lifelong dog ownership and recent puppy care has given me practical skills in handling dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. As I'm completing my final college course, I have flexible availability to provide dedicated care for your dog. I'm consistently available on weekends and most weekdays, giving me the time to ensure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and companionship they deserve. I offer a secure, fenced backyard where your dog can safely play and exercise off-leash, plus I'm just one block from a spacious park - giving your pet the best of both worlds for their daily adventure. Whether your dog prefers backyard playtime or park exploration, I can provide a variety of safe, supervised activities to keep them happy and well-exercised.

Krista S.
“Krista is an loving dog sitter and dog Mom (she has Labradors of her own). Like all Moms, she puts her fur babies' needs before her own. Krista was an active member of a college Seeing Eye Puppy-Raising Club, so she is well-educated in proper dog care and dog training. I recommend her to Rover clients without reservation. She will treat your pets as if they were her own so you can be away from them without worry.”

Andrea A.
“I highly recommend Andrea A. as a pet caregiver and walker. She’s a true animal lover with a dog and cat of her own. She has always shown kindness, patience, and responsibility when caring for my dog. She’s the first to stop and say hello to any dog she sees on the street, and animals naturally respond to her warm and gentle energy. Andrea has helped me many times when I needed someone reliable to look after my pup, and she always goes above and beyond. She's not only dependable, but also thoughtful, compassionate, and an all-around awesome human being. Any pet (and pet owner) would be lucky to have her!”
