Thomas was excellent, he handled my cat’s medication needs well. We had a blizzard and he showed up through it all, couldn’t be happier with his service. Highly recommended

Deliris was very communicative and accommodating with taking care of our cats; I never once worried about them in her care! She sends great pictures and very detailed updates. I recommend choosing her to sit your babies!

About: I have experience with every kind of aged fur babies for 13 years. I’ve always enjoyed caring for animals since a young girl.

I have plenty of time to watch and play with your pup! I am available daily and even on call! I have three pups who are friendly with other dogs and would have a great day with one another.

About: I've been pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. Apart from my current two dogs, I've also raised three previous dogs from being a puppy into their senior years. I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement training, every dog deserves the utmost love and care. I own my own business and set my own hours so I can accommodate anyone's pet care needs. I'm fine with short notice requests and can work with anyone's schedule! I have two dogs that can run around freely in my fenced in backyard. They each get at least two solo shorter walks (about 15 minutes around the park we live next to) per day and an additional longer walk (around 45-60 minutes) once my girlfriend gets home from work where we walk both together.

About: I am the loving owner of a 9-year-old cat and 11-year-old dog who has been trusted by family, friends, coworkers and neighbors alike to care for their pets. I worked for many years at a dog grooming salon and fostered cats growing up including the teeny tiny kittens that required bottle feeding. I love meeting new furry friends and look forward to caring for yours! I work full-time on a hybrid schedule. I am available on evenings, weekends, and days that I work from home to spend time with your pet. I am happy to visit your home and stick to your pet's routine as closely as possible. As the owner of a dog who is not so friendly with other dogs, I am familiar with the necessary protocols to keep your dog safe on walks regardless of their temperament.

About: Our Why? We have Huskies, and while still offering our service to other breeds, we highlight that it takes a fellow Husky owner to understand what a Husky needs. Despite their mischievous shenanigans, Houdini escape attempts, endless fur-sheddings, high-pitched vocalizations, bubbly, energized personalities, and hyperactive frolicking, we adore huskies. We understand finding experienced, dependable, loving, and trustworthy caregivers for your Husky isn't easy. That's why we are here to help. We currently have two friendly young huskies (one male and one female- fixed and crate-trained). We also have experience with English bulldogs, Sharpeis, Chow-Chows, Labs, Doodles, and Boxers. We only offer care for dogs based upon the comfortability of the match to our pet-care style and demeanor. We love our pets as we will love yours. We are focused on weekends, holidays, and summer care. We are open to possible weekday arrangements if your dog is crate-trained. Before booking us, a drop-by visit is required to test the compatibility of all humans and dogs. A few things: Special note-while we have never owned a French bulldog, we are particularly interested in learning to care for this breed. Your pet must be spayed or nurtured to receive boarding in our home. Also, we are sorry but we cannot offer care for full or mixed Pit Bull breeds. How does pet care fit into your daily and weekly lives? Our pets receive two meals a day, comprising dry food and water. Our pets are crate-trained and remain crated when owners are away. Most of the time, there is an adult in the house. Our dogs can access a large fenced backyard with green grass and trees. Our dogs walk with owners through nearby Branch Brooke Park and visit the dog park almost daily. Our dogs are crated during adult meal times and sleep in the main bedroom on the floor, side couch, or end of bed at night. We maintain a clean home and provide puppy pads during inclement weather to avoid mud and chaos. Pets have access to some rooms, but not all rooms in the house. Toys and treats are provided regularly. Linens on beds where animals may sleep are washed and switched out regularly. Our gate is blocked off on both sides because huskies are known for escaping. Our pets have ID collars and ID dog tags and wear GPS trackers during the day. Our dogs are up-to-date on immunizations and have been spayed/neutered. We don't hit our dogs with our hands or objects but use basic word commands. Training dogs is always a work in progress. They are both loved for their uniqueness. We only plan to care for pets in our home. We have a large and welcoming home.

Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.

Molly is fantastic. She was kind enough to come for a quick meet and greet, so Casper could meet her for the first time while I was home. Her husband, Quentin, is also very sweet. I am very picky who I trust with my black cat, and I trust Molly. I have already scheduled another drop-in visit. Thank you, Molly!

Joni is just amazing!! Our pup Milo loves Joni. She walks Milo 3 days a week and helps us out in a pinch. We get great updates from her. She’s helped Milo learn how to go on little bike runs with her and tires our little boy out when needed! She’s also so patient with Milo. We love her and recommend her for all your puppy needs :))))

I’d easily recommend Jonny to anyone. Me and my wife have a fairy large dog who doesn’t love new people. With our wedding coming up we needed to find someone to pop in and check on him, Jonny did just that for us and alleviated a lot of our stress. Jonny was super flexible with his schedule, he took the time to get out dog comfortable with him. At first meeting our dog was on the aggressive side and Jonny didn’t flinch. He’s a true pro. Beyond that he’s a great guy, super calm and friendly, there was never a doubt about his character and leaving him access to our house. We will definitely be using him more in the future. I couldn’t recommend him more.

Kayla is, without a doubt, the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. It’s clear from the moment you meet her that she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She’s reliable, attentive, and treats our dog like her own, which gives us complete peace of mind when we’re away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet.
