“Abbie was excellent. She went above and beyond to make sure Koda was well taken care of. She set updates and pictures to keep me informed on how Koda was doing. I would definitely book with Abbie again!”

About: I used to work for a pet boarding company for a few years where I was feeding, walking, supervising play between dogs, and cleaning their kennels/litter boxes. I have also taken care of friends and families pets while they were away! My aunt fosters cats and whenever she does, I’m always helping her out. My roommate has a cat, Casper, that I take care while she is in class or at work. I make sure to feed him, give him enough water, and obviously play with him! Your pets safety is my number one priority. Making sure they feel safe and comfortable with me in the home is a must. Ensuring they are securely leashed while outside, respecting their boundaries, and enclosing all food around them are a few ways I make sure pets are safe in your home.
“Brooke was great! My mother had passed away, on a Tuesday, funeral on Thursday ( was out of town), and Brooke was an angel to check up on the dogs on such short notice. Highly recommend Brooke.”

About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like family. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I focus on making both pets and owners feel safe, relaxed, and cared for from day one. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs — including administering medications, working with reactive dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m patient, attentive, and committed to creating a calm, positive environment where they feel secure and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime, or simply wants extra affection and attention, I tailor my care to fit their individual routine and personality. I’m confident reading body language and helping nervous or high-energy pets feel safe and understood. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I also make it a priority to keep routines consistent to help reduce stress and make the experience as comfortable as possible for your pet. My goal is simple: to give your pet a loving, stress-free experience while giving you total peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I currently stay at home so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, loving care for your pets. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits throughout the week and weekends. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked — I make it a priority to give each animal personalized attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medication routines, and special care instructions to help your pet feel comfortable and at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel secure and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. I treat every pet like family and always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, exercise needs, medications, and preferred sleeping arrangements.
“Abigail took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. She was very attentive, making sure Sancho received his medicine every day without any issue, and kept us updated with messages and photos that gave us peace of mind. Both of our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we came back. We truly appreciate her kindness and dedication, and we would definitely trust her again in the future!”

“The cat sitter was impressively responsive, promptly addressing any inquiries or updates. Their quick communication added a reassuring layer to the pet-sitting experience.”

About: I have several years of experience taking care of pets of all kinds. I had a rescue pitbull for 10 years who was my very best friend! He has since crossed the rainbow bridge and I currently do not have any pets of my own, so I am happy to spend time taking great care of other people’s furry friends! I work full time but have flexibility within my job to work from home on certain days. On weekends I am almost always available to provide your pet ample attention! I will treat your pet as if they were my own and do everything I can to make sure they are as happy and comfortable as possible while you are away. I will also take great care to respect any and all rules/guidelines established by the pet owner!

“Emily T. Visited our home twice a day to care for our dog, cat and two birds while we were away at our daughter's college graduation. The service was incredible. Emily is a pet person as was evident when she stopped by for a meet and greet, both my dog, Shaggy and my Cat, Emily gravitated to her. Our instructions were met to a T and our expectations were exceeded! We highly recommend Emily T!”

“Katherine did a great job taking care of my three cats. She did everything I asked and even sent me pictures of them. Her fee was very reasonable. I will use her to watch my cats again in the future if needed!”

“Lauren did a wonderful job taking care of our three cats while we were out of town. She was communicative/responsive and also took care of mail and plant watering to boot. The house was in great shape when we returned home, and our kitties were clearly in good hands during our absence. I can’t recommend Lauren more highly and will definitely work with her again!!”

“Destiny was great. She responded fast and always checked in with us with any questions and updates about our dogs. She sent us pictures each time she took care of our two dogs. I highly recommend Destiny and we'll be sure to book her again next time if she's available.”

“Bethany took such great care of our large pit bull/lab mix. It was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but I could tell right away that our dog was in very good hands. She was very responsive and sent tons of pictures, and we will definitely use her in the future!”

About: I have been around all kinds of animals since I was born! Growing up, my family ran the county animal shelter. With this, my family and I have fostered animals since I was 3! I have experience with cats, dogs, bunnies, and horses, all of various breeds, sizes, and ages. I have trained service animals and have even been the veterinary assistant in a surgery on one of my Great Danes. I am currently working towards pursuing a career in service animal and K-9 unit training. I love all animals and hopefully you choose me to love yours! I currently work full-time as a social worker. Despite this, I have a lots of free time to spend with your furry friend! I love animals and adjust my schedule to make time for them. I make my own schedule and my job is hybrid, so it is very easy to flex my schedule around your animals needs! Being a recent college grad, I don’t have any animals of my own yet. However, with my clients I have varied care depending on your service! With walking and home care services, I make sure to put all items back where I got them (leash, toys, etc) and make sure the pet has fresh water and food if applicable. In all home services, I make sure to leave the home better than when I got there!
