About: As a former foster parent for dogs, I’ve cared for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and love. I know how to read their body language, build trust, and provide a calm, comforting space. Whether your dog needs playful enrichment, gentle medication, or just lots of snuggles, I tailor my care to their unique needs. I treat every dog like family because to me, they truly are. I am also willing to help monitor and care for cats, and other small in-home animals, such as hamsters. If you have any of these pets that will need tended to please let me know during your booking. Bonus: I’m experienced with crate training, leash manners, and helping shy or anxious pups feel safe. Your dog will be in loving, capable hands! Please see my attached schedule within the photos for time frames I am available for your baby! If you have any questions about my availability or schedule, don't hesitate to reach out! At my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I create a safe, cozy, and low-stress environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, play, and any special instructions you provide. Because of my experience as a foster parent, I’m very mindful of each dog’s personality and comfort level. Whether they need extra playtime, space to decompress, or just a lot of love, I adjust my care to fit their needs. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space and routines while keeping communication open. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being always come first—no matter where they are.
“Jacob is very friendly, communicative, reliable and very accommodating as I needed someone at the last minute. He did a great job with my dog Koda. I strongly recommend Jacob for pet services. He was very responsible and helpful and set my mind at ease while I was traveling. Yamini Adkins”

Even just popping in for a potty break My fur babies get the royal treatment! I will provide the same for yours! From belly rubs to playing catch. And all the cuddles needed!
“Morgan was available on short notice and made adjustments as my schedule changed leading up to the booking. During my time out of town, it was a huge relief seeing pictures and details of what was happening at home. Morgan went above and beyond while she was taking care of my furbabies to ensure they had everything they needed, even turning on my heat when the temps dropped and checking on my turtle to ensure he was safe too! My pups are old and can need a little patience and alot of love...knowing Morgan was there gave me all the peace I needed to be able to focus on my trip. Thanks so much Morgan!!!!”
About: Growing up with dogs as a part of the family I have taken care of them my whole life. When I was 15 my family brought home a new puppy and I didn’t have a summer job, so she was my responsibility. Over the years I have taken care of dogs of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pups that need a little more love and understanding. I have administered medications and eye drops with ease and few trick up my sleeves. I enjoy having training sessions with the dogs and even teaching them a new trick while their family is away. This helps give them something to focus on and encourages bonding between us. I would be honored to take care of your furry family member while you’re away. I'm currently working part time and would love to help out your family while I have the time. While in my current status I can do more walks, potty breaks as needed. Potty break is the first and foremost needed when I arrive at a client's home. Then a walk, a little time for some training and a little bit of play as well. It's just as important they have some mental stimulation.
About: With 15+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I provide loving, dependable pet sitting tailored to each animal’s personality and needs. From energetic pups to shy kitties, I treat every pet like my own—because they deserve nothing less. I’m a clear and thoughtful communicator. I keep pet parents informed and reassured with regular updates and check-ins. I currently work from home, so I’m very flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Let me know your schedule, and I’ll be there. Looking forward to meeting your pet! Although I don’t offer my in-home services, I am able to drop in on pets at client homes! I can easily follow feeding schedules and routines to make your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away!
About: I worked for a veterinary clinic as a kennel attendant which included duties such as: bathing, feeding, day care, safe restraint practices, oral medication administration, cleaning, and walking. I also have two cats of my own - Willa and Peaches! Peaches is a cat with medical needs and is currently in remission for a 90 day treatment! I work as a science teacher and am contracted weekdays from 7am - 4pm and will always check that I am able to give reliable and consistent care before accepting a reservation. I will always take photos of play, feeding, medication (if needed), and any other requests to ensure that you are confident in their care and that they are happy and healthy.
About: I have 5 years experience training and boarding dogs. I have 2 Dutch shepherds, 1 shihtzu, and 1 rescue currently. I am a NePoPo silver school graduate. I have partnered in training many dogs in bitework, obedience, and scent detection. I actively compete in frisbee, dock diving, and many other dog sports. I have experience with non social dogs and take pride in safety. I currently work full time but am free in the early mornings and evenings for walking. My boyfriend is usually home during the day. I am very flexible. I take pride in safety. Dogs will always be leashed and will not interact with other animals unless discussed with the owner. Dogs will never be in direct contact with other dogs. If crated, will be in a crate in a room with other crated dogs.

Rebecca R.Star Sitter
“I was nervous to have someone else handle my ~90lb pup that gets really excited to see humans and likes to jump up and kiss their face. He also pulls the leash if he sees other dogs/large trucks. We had Rebecca over for a meet and greet, and went over his commands/routine. Rebecca was a gem and a champ handling him. I was able to go out of town without worry and she sent pic updates which were really sweet. I'm excited to go out of town again at some point just to have her over so my dog can visit with her! Thank you Rebecca!”
Bridget C.
“Bridget dog sat for my little Chestnut and she NOT ONLY kept her alive and well with all her specific needs, but she also spent quality time with her and walked her while my husband and I were on a trip. I HIGHLY recommend Bridget!!”

Elizabeth Park Valley pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jason watched our cat while we were gone for a week and half. During that time we got lots of updates, photos and our cat got lots of attention and play. He even put the radio on so she wouldn’t feel as alone in our usually noisy house. It was great peace of mind to know she was well taken care of while we were gone.
I scheduled a drop-in visit with Sarah who will be housing sitting for my dogs in July for the first time. Sarah was great, came in and made my German Shepherd Cooper comfortable, Cooper who will be 2 in August gets nervous around new people. Sarah played with him and gave verbal commands that my dog obeyed very well. Put me at ease about going away in July.
I have never trusted anyone, outside of family, to take care of my little buddy but, I would definitely put my faith in Matias to care for him again. He put to rest any doubts I had about using a pet sitter while I was on vacation, as well as any fears Brando may have had with someone new caring for him. He was kind and patient with him, and he also kept me informed daily on how my little guy was doing. I would recommend Matias to anyone.
Mary did an amazing job!!! This was my first time leaving my baby behind for four days, I was nervous, but Mary did such a good job at staying in touch and providing all the necessary details that my girl was doing well. Really appreciate her attentiveness and care for my dog.
We have two large Rhodesian Ridgebacks and Jess was very comfortable and confident in watching them. They are well behaved dogs and they took to Jess from the initial meet and greet. Jess was very communicative during her visit and we would certainly use her again!
Rebecca is fantastic! She is extremely kind and down to earth, she is exactly who we were looking for to take care of our cat for a few days. She was very understanding of our cat’s shy behavior and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable! She left him a scavenger of treats, was very communicative, easy to work with and trust worthy. Will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!
Really appreciate Pat helping us on short notice! She was fantastic with our rather timid and shy cat. Pat allowed our Bella to set the pace for interaction. Very attentive and took such good care with her. She even brought in an unexpected package. Very warm and caring lady. Will definitely use her services again.
