Jessica is so kind, fun, and clearly is meant to be around animals in one way or another. My boys were THRILLED to see her every morning. She was helping me out as I’m dealing with cancer - her flexibility and understanding nature helped me trust her in my home and with my boys. Book her!

Grace has watched our pets many times. She has helped both with daily visits, and longer stays varying from the weekend to over a week. Both we and our pets (one large dog with anxiety and 2 skittish cats) love and trust Grace. She treats our pets with kindness and compassion after having taken the time to get to know them as individuals with unique needs and wants. She cares for them like we would, and always takes the cutest update pictures!

Courtney is a great communicator and clearly loves animals! My dog Roscoe had a great time on walks with her, and our cat even got some bonus love out of it. I especially liked the funny and creative pictures Courtney took.

Lacey was excellent with my Australian Shepards! She kept me updated and informed on their walks and care. She even was able to help assess how to provide special care for the smaller one who is a bit timid and easily bossed by big sister! Thank you so much Laceyn I felt like my pets were being loved even while I was away! Will book again 💯

About: My partner, Anthony, and I are the Rover duo here! Together, we have a combined 20+ years of experience working with dogs. Anthony primarily does the house sitting and we both work together for boarding in our home. We currently have 2 dogs of our own who are both rescues. Arthur is our 6 year old playful, loving lab mix and Taz is our 4 month old sassy pit mix puppy! We love caring for pets and are excited to spread the love to more doggy friends! You can count on us to be reliable, respectful, engaged, and loving to your pets. We will ensure that they get exercise and the love they need while under our care. We will make sure the environment is safe for all pets and make sure your pet has access to food and water at all times. We work from home full time and will make sure your pet has the necessary potty breaks they need and will not be left in a kennel all day long. We love dogs and are excited to provide a safe + comfortable place for your pet so you can enjoy your time away from home knowing your dog(s) is/are in good hands. Anthony and I work from home, which makes pet care fit very easily into our daily and weekly routine. We have 2 dogs of our own and we never leave them home alone longer than 4 hours. We have a fenced-in yard. The yard is safe and a great size to give your pet ample space to run around and exercise. We also have outdoor cameras to monitor if we are not outside with them.

Chelsie you went above and beyond to make sure my pups were treated with royalty. I have never seen my dogs get so excited to see someone, not even when I get home. Chelsie supplied lots of pictures of the walks and the most detailed summary which was always a pleasure to read. She really cares and extremely thoughtful, would never hesitate to book with her anytime I need help. Thank you so much Chelsie!

Lindsey is very detailed and dedicated to the care and love of any pet in her care. She plays with them and loves to spoil them (as much as is allowed), treating them as her own. Any owner can be assured their dog will be well care for in her service.

Caitlin Sheldon has a wonderful and natural way with animals and pets. She is very patient. Animals seem to come to her and they listen to her. She can get them to sit and stay and shake paws. They love being around her. Caitlin has rescued a few cats. And she has one dog of her own. Joey. They adore her. She would make a wonderful pet walker or sitter. She treats them like family.

Andrea is our go-to dog sitter and worth every penny. Our dog takes medication, is now deaf and sometimes goes on walks. Andrea is amazing, sends pictures all the time and makes our vacations relaxing because I don’t have to worry about any issues at home.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive hands-on experience and versatility in animal care. Over the years, I’ve cared for family, friends, and neighbors’ dogs, which has given me a broad range of experience with different breeds and temperaments. Currently, I have both a dog and a cat of my own, which enhances my ability to handle various needs and behaviors. I’m particularly adept at working with both puppies and senior pets. Whether it’s training a young pup or providing gentle care for an older animal, I’m skilled at addressing their specific requirements. My flexibility is another key strength; I’m always willing to adapt to your pets’ needs and your schedule to ensure they receive the best care possible. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine thanks to my flexible schedule. As a current grad student, I have the advantage of managing my own time effectively. I am available all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, making it easy to provide consistent care for your pets during these days. During the weekdays, I am available before 9 a.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays, and I can also assist after 3 p.m. any day of the week. This flexibility allows me to accommodate various pet care needs and ensure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in your home or mine, my approach is tailored to meet the specific needs of each pet. I’m dedicated to providing personalized care and am open to collaborating with you to create a schedule that fits your pet’s routines and your preferences. For clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining your pet’s established routine and environment to minimize stress. I am very flexible and accommodating, so if you have specific instructions or requirements, I am happy to follow them closely. Together, we can develop a care plan that ensures your pet receives the attention and support they need while you’re away.
