“Tylyn did a great job!!! While on vacation my daughter s visited my home and unfortunately Rascal my indoor only cat got out of the house. Tylyn informed me and explained the steps she had already taken to attempt to catch Rascal, even thinking of things I had not thought of. She visited my house twice a day even though she was only supposed to visit once she made every effort possible to help with the return of Rascal. Tylyn is personable and I feel that she truly loves the pets she cares for. I have used Tylyn in the past and I will definitely use her in the future and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a loving, capable and trustworthy pet sitter.”


About: I’ve cared for pets for over 6 years, including dogs of all sizes, cats, and even litters of kittens. From energetic puppies who need patience and play to senior dogs who need a gentler pace, I’ve had hands-on experience with it all. What sets me apart is my attentiveness. I treat every pet as if they were my own, noticing the little things that help them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s a walk, cuddle time, or just keeping them company, I bring a calm and caring energy. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m available for pet care between 8am and 8pm. Since I have pets of my own, I understand how important routine and attention are, and I’ll make sure your pets get the same care and consistency. I plan visits and walks in a way that lets me balance my own animals’ needs with giving yours my full attention. Whether it’s morning, midday, or evening, I’ll work with you to keep your pet’s schedule steady and stress-free. I care for pets with the same attentiveness I give my own. Whether I’m in your home or out on a walk, safety always comes first, from keeping leashes secure to making sure food, water, and routines are followed. I’m comfortable with brushing, feeding, playtime, and walks, and I take care to notice the little details that help pets feel secure. I also respect your home and your pet’s routines, so you can trust they’ll be cared for exactly the way you prefer.
About: I have worked with all types of animals, breeds and personality types. I’ve done dog walking/pet sitting for about 6 years and absolutely adore it! I am comfortable with any special needs or unique temperaments. (Most of my experience has been off this app, hence my lack of reviews… I am more than happy to provide references individually!) I’m currently available anytime during the day or night, weekdays and weekends. I can do overnights as well. As long as we plan ahead all should be good! I have a lot of time to stay with the pets in their own home so they will have lots of stimulation and attention! I love taking them anywhere they love, walking around the neighborhood, trips to dog beach, or supervising play dates with their furry friends!
About: I've had animals all my life. I've cared for neighbor's pets since I was little and I have experience with animals of all sizes, from hamsters to horses! I have small pet, herp, and invert experience as well. I'm dedicated to providing the very best care for your pets! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me plenty of time to ensure your animals are perfectly cared for! I come to your home and ensure that every animal has food and water, that everyone is healthy and happy, and spend time with each animal.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I came into this world! Always watching over, loving, and caring for a variety of animals. At one point my family had 6 dogs to take care of and love! I have a very soft spot for elder animals and truly love caring for them! I love to watch and play with cats, and have experience cat sitting (usually 2 young male cats). I am currently a full time student, with a lot of free time throughout the week! I’d love to fill that time walking, playing, or spending time with your pet! I have a big fenced in backyard, front, and side yard that is perfect for playing! I have 2 roommates, both very loving and caring for animals similar to me! The space I live in is not noisy, and the overall space is very quiet. I love to play with animals and keep them active if that is desired by pet owners! I am very close to Bidwell Park which is perfect for long walks and getting energy out!
About: I will do everything to keep your dog safe, loved and comfortable!! I have taken care of dogs recently, I always make sure to give them the love and attention that they deserve if not more. I understand the feeling of leaving your dog at home while you are away and I want to continue to be the person people feel safe and secure to leave their dog at home or with me. I have a dog that loves too play as well so making friends is never a worry for him. I currently work part time, but after 1pm I am available. I do have some errands I do but doesn’t usually last for more than an hour. I am a student as well and attend online classes on Mondays but it won’t a disturbance. I am available on weekends for boarding or pet sitting at someone’s house as well. I live in a small apartment but have three room in which one isn’t being used. There is a big grassy area behind my apartment that I usually take my dog to and we do lots of long walks. There is plenty of of space for your fur baby and even though I have cats they like to be in one room so they wouldn’t be a bothers
About: I’ve cared for seniors, puppies, post surgeries, mischievous kitties and extra needy pets of all kinds ☺️ years of working with horses, living with my anxious chihuahua mix, and helping to raise the chunky pitties in my life has prepared me for almost every situation. I’ll keep a cool head and stick to your instructions while showering lots of love on your furry family member. I grew up around cats, dogs, horses, and birds! My love for animals knows no bounds, and I’m always the one getting distracted by a cute dog on the sidewalk (or TikTok). I’ve had great experiences booking care for my own dog through Rover, and I understand how hard it can be to find and trust the right person when we have to be away from them! My hope is that we can work together and create the best plan for keeping your furry kids happy and safe. I keep communication open and often so that we are all comfortable and on the same page. I pay attention and meet your pet where they’re at so we can build our own trusting and loving bond. I work remotely from home, so I can be flexible to meet your needs. My partner and I work together to ensure our own dogs are cared for, comfortable, and get lots of sniffing time outside. I’d love to speak with you about the best way to accommodate your schedule. I prefer to meet with you and your pet before scheduling a service to ensure that everyone is comfortable. I like to take the opportunity to ask any clarifying questions and walk through expectations so that there are no gray areas about the best ways to care for your pet and keep them safe.
“Jody did an excellent job with our kitty Numa. We came home to a happy cat. Jody even watered our plants and brought in the mail which was a lifesaver. We are so grateful to have someone ao trustworthy and kind to our kitty. Our plants looked like we never left and our kitty happy and healthy. We will definitely book with Jody again”

“He was attentive with my cats, playing with them and making sure they felt comfortable and happy. The pictures helped ease my mind while on vacation. Would recommend to anyone with pets!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and pets of all kinds for over 2 years. I started pet sitting at a young age for neighbors, friends, and family, and it quickly became something people regularly relied on me for. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, playing with, and giving lots of love and attention to pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m very patient, dependable, and detail-oriented, and I always make sure to follow each pet’s routine and care instructions exactly as given. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, so I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m comfortable caring for energetic dogs, shy or anxious pets, and senior animals who may need a little extra patience and care. I’m also comfortable following medication and special care routines if needed. I always make sure pet parents receive updates and photos so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around my responsibilities, which allows me to be consistent, reliable, and flexible when it comes to visits, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. Since I’m already used to caring for my own cat, Selene, daily pet care is a normal part of my life. I make sure every pet gets the time and attention they need, whether that’s scheduled drop-in visits, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, or just spending time keeping them company. I’m very organized and good at sticking to routines, so following each pet’s specific care instructions and schedule is never a problem for me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions, and make sure litter boxes are cleaned, water is refreshed, and the home is left tidy. I make sure each animal gets the right balance of playtime, affection, and calm companionship depending on their personality. I always move at their pace, especially with shy or anxious fur babies, and never force interaction. My goal is to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and secure in their own environment while their owner is away. I also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is being well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of animals professionally since I was 15, and I’ve also cared for friends and families pets since I was 10. I’ve worked with animals of all ages, as well as ones that are disabled or need medication. I highly enjoy being around animals. My pets are my world, and I love meeting new animals and being able to care for them. I recently graduated from college and I’m currently working as I’m waiting for admission into the nursing program. I am looking to do something I love and to help others with their life at the same time. I usually will be working every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday from between 5:30am-12:30pm, but morning drop-ins before work shouldn’t be an issue and I can also drop in after work. I’ve had multiple pets in the past. I currently have one cat named Thumper. I enjoy spending time with her and taking her on walks, as she is very curious. She has brain damage as well as very bad anxiety, so she does require more care than normal. She also gets oral medication everyday for her anxiety so she can stay calm and not feel stressed all of the time.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I am able to care for senior animals and animals with special needs or diets, and can help with the basic training of puppies. I have a lot of energy, so I'm always happy when a client has a dog that needs to be walked since it's nice bonding for me. I currently work remotely for an editing service, and am going to school for music classes, so I am available to be around for your pets for any getaways you take. In your home, I will ensure your beloved pets feel safe, happy and stimulated by providing any extra care they need, and showering them with all the love I have for animals
“Lauren did a great job with our 3 dogs of varying ages. She communicated well with me and asked questions and answered mine when needed. I will definitely book with her in the future.”

About: What sets me apart? I bring a mix of love, patience, and plenty of experience to every pet I care for! Whether it’s keeping up with energetic puppies, giving extra TLC to senior pets, or making sure everyone sticks to their routine (treats included, of course!), I’ve got it covered. Need meds given? No problem. Litter box deep-cleaned? Consider it done. Walkies or runs to get the energy out- even bettter (we can get fit together). My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and totally spoiled while you're away—because they deserve nothing less! Pet care fits into my routine seamlessly since I work from home and have a somewhat flexible schedule! This allows me to adapt to your pet’s needs—whether they thrive on a set routine, need a midday walk, or just want some extra attention while you’re away. I can easily adjust my day to make sure they’re well cared for, comfortable, and happy. Plus, with me around, they’ll never feel lonely! 🐾💕 I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for all my furry guests! I have a fully fenced-in backyard for playtime and fresh air, plenty of indoor space to relax, and even a large crate if needed. Your pet will also have some built-in company—I have three friendly cats and a dog of my own, so they’ll always have buddies around (unless they prefer their own space, which I totally respect!). Whether they love to run, lounge, or just get some extra snuggles, I make sure every pet feels right at home. 🐾💕
