“Allegra was fabulous. She respected our home, animals, and guidelines beautifully. She was very communicative and even cleaned up messes that were made by our pets. Highly recommend Allegra for your next weekend away from home!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I am mainly home all day , unless I need to step out to the store. I have a 9 year old spayed female American bulldog mix. My sweetest girl I’ll ever meet. She is super friendly with every other dog whether it’s a puppy to a senior dog :) I am currently a home body , as I am in school . I like to cater to the pets around me for now til I do finish my school. I do live in an apartment , but the pet I will be taking care of will always be on a leash outside my door. Once inside my home, they are open to every room and furniture:))

About: Former St. Bernard owner here that loves all dogs big and small. I wfh and have pet sat dogs all over the world. When you book me you can feel at ease knowing your dog is properly cared for. Before confirming booking I like to do meet and greets. This is to ensure both your 4 legged friend and I get along. Also I am allergic to cats so I can only accept bookings from folks without cats. I’m currently working from home so I have the perfect schedule to dog sit all day or take your dog for morning, afternoon, or evening walks. I will follow any instructions left by you on how to properly care for your dog. I want this to be a pleasant and seamless experience for both you and your dog.
About: I've taken care of dogs for 10 years. I love tending to their special and specific needs. Dogs are very special to me and they deserve the world! I am dedicated full-time to taking care of dogs so I have all the time in the world to give unlimited potty breaks, hugs, cuddles, treats and yummy food for the dogs in my care. I have a one bedroom apartment. I make sure I have my eyes and ears on your pets at all times. I make sure all food is locked up for safety and to avoid accidents and I make sure that your pet's bed is in my living room so that they have plenty of room to play with their toys. I always make sure they are well taken care of and provide plenty of fresh drinking water and food for them to eat. I provide daily updates and pictures with all of my bookings so that the owners always know how their pet is doing.
“Michelle goes above and beyond and did a great job with my 2 fur babies. They are very shy and yet they warmed to Michelle quickly. She showed up when she said she would. Highly reliable.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I now have 2 cats. I’ve done puppy and senior dog care. I’m experienced with cat care, litter boxes and medications, nail clippings and more. Pet sitting will be my full source of income, and something I enjoy and will have an open schedule for. Available weekdays and weekends. On weekends preferably morning to early afternoon. My dogs always had a fenced yard, but I moved into an apartment so they went on multiple walks a day due to not having a yard. Fed twice a day, walks throughout the entire day. I’m experienced with giving dogs medicine and shots due to one of mine having diabetes. I am very experienced with puppies I’ve had three. Adaptable to anything that a pet owner requests for their dogs care. I currently own 2 cats, one is 6 the other is 2. One male one female, my female is a rescue so I’m experienced with more timid/shy cats. I know cleaning litter schedules, importance of dry/wet food diets.
“This was Caitlyn's 2nd time taking care (2x drop in visits per day) of our cat, Beast, and all good! - just like the first time. Will continue to schedule Caitlyn to catsit Beast on future vacations.”

About: I cared for my own dog for 14 years, including his last 6 years with special medical needs due to tracheal collapse. This experience taught me patience, responsibility, and how to give gentle, attentive care to senior and fragile dogs. I also have experience caring for different breeds, including Pomeranian, Bulldog, Chihuahua, and Dachshunds. I have helped friends by providing loving, safe, and reliable care for their pets. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always adapt to their needs, routines, and personalities. Your dog will be in caring, responsible hands with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I organize my schedule to make sure each pet receives enough time, attention, exercise, and affection. I am flexible and able to adjust my availability based on each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, and rest. I enjoy spending time at home and outdoors, which allows me to provide consistent care, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet will never feel rushed or ignored while in my care. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care, whether in my home or in my client’s home. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medication, exercise, and special needs. I keep doors, gates, and windows secure and make sure the environment is clean, calm, and hazard-free. I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations and always supervise interactions and activities. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners feel confident and at ease. My goal is to create a peaceful, loving, and trustworthy environment where every pet feels safe and cared for like family.
“Chloe was great with my cat- he requires a lot of medicine but she had no trouble giving it to him and also sent lots of cute pictures. One of the medicines is really sticky and most sitters get it all over his face and don’t clean it up but he was perfectly clean when i got back! Would definitely rebook!”

“Elisha, I was so happy to find someone that could give me a piece of mind while vacationing. She did an awesome job. Communicated and took pictures of my furry kids eating, so I know they were being feed. I would definitely recommend her and will request her services again if needed.”
“Audrey was really great with my cats, she took care of them, followed all the instructions, and all the time in constantly communication providing details of her drop-in visit. For sure I’ll book her again to take care of them.”

About: I’ve taught all my dogs their tricks, and keeping them non aggressive even my uncles dog that’s 140lbs. I taught my friends dog that’s already old a few tricks as well! I can do any day and any time I will make sure they have lots of fun:) I’m a huge pet person I look forward to meeting all of them For my cats I clean their litter daily, I got two water fountains, and I keep them on a good diet. For dogs I have none of my own but I do have a few that I call my own since I go care for them so often. I feed them at specific times and take them to use the bathroom every couple of hours and outside just to relax.

About: I grew up in a family that always had both dogs and cats, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life from a young age. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve spent years looking after the dogs and cats of friends, family members, and neighbors. I pride myself on being a reliable and attentive sitter who treats every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering routines, or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet is safe, comfortable, well cared for, and receives plenty of attention while you’re away.

In my apartment, pets have a clean, safe, and calm environment where they receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. Since I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised and on a leash to ensure safety. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I understand that every pet is different and strive to provide the same level of care and affection they receive from their owners.

El Portal dog parents share their Rover experiences
Luna was in such great hands 🤍 She was incredibly caring, attentive, and loving with her. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treated Luna like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Luna was being looked after by someone so reliable and kind. Highly recommend!

Nina was fantastic! From the beginning communication was excellent and she made sure to send me pictures and updates about Blue. When I got home everything was perfect and Blue was a happy boy. I highly recommend her services! Until next time! Thank you again!

Great sitter!! My plans changed at last minute and Nick was very understanding and flexible with me, I really appreciated it! He took notes and followed every request I had for my pets to a T!! They were very well cared for and were so calm when I came home that I know they felt at ease with him. I plan on booking again and highly recommend Nick for drop ins! Nick, thank you again, hope to see you soon!

Michelle is exactly the person my husband and I needed for our puppy. She is extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and responsible. She communicated throughout her multiple check ins and put us at ease while we were away. We would love to have her again in the future!
