I really appreciate you stopping over and taking care of Murphy! Gabrielle checked in when she got there, gave him time to go to the bathroom, walked him and made sure he had water. My dog vomited once before she got there and she cleaned it up and even took a picture so I could know what was going on. I would definitely use Gabrielle again!

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have two dogs and two cats of my own, so caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies because I would only want the absolute best care for mine. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, walks, crate routines, playtime, and of course plenty of cuddles. Living with both dogs and cats has also helped me become very attentive to animal behavior and body language, which allows me to keep pets safe, calm, and happy in my care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel comfortable with regular updates and photos. My goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life since I have two dogs and two cats of my own. My day naturally revolves around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure my pets are happy and comfortable. I do work full time, but my job is very flexible. When I’m booked for pet sitting, I’m able to adjust my schedule or take time off to make sure I can fully focus on the pets in my care. I prioritize reliability and planning so every pet gets the attention and consistency they deserve. My home is clean, pet-safe, and thoughtfully set up to create a calm environment. I remove any hazards, keep floors clear, secure doors and gates, and ensure all pets are supervised at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and playtime — so they feel right at home. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your furry family members. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative. I provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves active play, cozy naps, or extra cuddles, I tailor my care to their personality and needs. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and your pet a safe, loving home away from home.

Galianna did a great job watching and caring for our pups! We all enjoyed getting updates and pics from the visits. It was nice seeing them get so pampered and loved on while we were away. Galianna is very trustworthy and kept up with excellent communication the entire trip! I would absolutely hire her again in the future and feel our dogs would be very happy to see her again!

About: I grew up surrounded by animals and have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. From daily feedings and cleaning to exercise, play, and routine check-ins, I’ve been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to care for a wide variety of pets with different needs and temperaments. Growing up around both household and farm animals taught me responsibility, consistency, and how to read animal behavior across species. I take a calm, attentive approach and always prioritize safety, routine, and genuine care, treating every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to be flexible depending on your pet’s needs and available anytime, especially during holidays. I prioritize consistency, timely visits, and making sure each pet gets quality attention rather than feeling rushed. I’m reliable with routines like feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I communicate clearly if anything ever changes. Whether your pet needs quick visits or longer companionship, I make sure they feel cared for and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, respect your home, and maintain a calm, clean environment during every visit. I’m attentive to behavior changes, secure doors and gates, and take extra care with leashes, feeding routines, and medication instructions if needed. I treat every home and pet with the same level of responsibility and respect I would expect for my own.

About: Hi! I’m Robert. I’ve had animals all my life (dogs, cats, fish, lizards, hermit crabs, raised praying mantids and butterflies). I trap and spay/neuter feral cats (TNR), feed birds, planted a pollinator garden in my yard…love nature and appreciate the relationship between humans and animals. My small dog Tyson is 11 or 12 years old and has some special needs (anxiety, hip-problems, blind in one eye, and I am his 3rd owner), so I know patience and compassion when it comes to senior dogs. Two of my cats I’ve had since they were kittens, and the third cat was abandoned by a neighbor and chose me as her new human when they left her. Happy to accommodate your companion’s special needs, and will be honest with you if there is something I don’t feel confident about. I also use two water fountain bowls, so your friend will have access to clean, moving water. I am a bar tender and have been doing that work since 2006, 12 years at my current bar. I work part time there and have a good amount of free-time which I can use to take care of of your dog. I have a large fenced in yard (176 ft of 6ft tall wooden fence) with plenty of shade, water bowls, central air and heating. Pets are free to lounge anywhere in my house, but I do prefer dogs to be crated if I am away for their own safety, and peace of mind for me :) Please let me know if you have any rules you have for your pets at home, feeding schedule, potty-break schedule, etc.

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember! My family has always had multiple pets in our home at a time. I currently own a dog named Jax, and two cats named Milo and Lee! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperament. I have taken care of puppies, blind/deaf dogs, big dogs who like to take you on a walk instead 😅, cuddly and energetic labs, shy dogs who may hide, and I love them all the same! I am a nanny, so I also take my part in loving and taking care of their animals in their home or when they may travel! As a pet mom myself, I understand how big of a decision it is to search and trust for someone to look after your fur baby. That’s why I will always focus on communication and providing updates and pictures so you can feel at ease and comfortable. All animals are family, and I will treat your pet as if they were my own. When I come to your home, I promise to come with all the extra snuggles, belly rubs, or anything your pet may need to feel comfortable, keeping up with routines, required needs, and all different personalities. If your pet may need special medications, I also have experience with that area! I’m currently a college student, home full time for the summer! I go to a community college, so long term care is also available! Some hours may just change once I start again this Fall semester :) I care for each pet as if they were my own. My animals are my babies, my world, and I expect it is the same for all pet owners. You putting your trust in me to care for your babies means the world to me, and you won’t regret it! :)

About: As a former pet owner I understand how important it is to make sure your pets are safe and comfortable. I have over 10 years of experience with all breeds and types of dogs and cats. I grew up fostering dogs out of our childhood home. I was very involved even at the age of 6. We stopped fostering when I was around the age of 19. As of right now, Rover is my full time job. I absolutely love doing it and being around such wonderful people and pets. I do not offer boarding for pets right now as I do live with my father, step mother, and younger brother (seen in profile picture) but do plan on adding boarding services soon. While I do not offer boarding at this moment, I do enjoying staying at others homes, understanding their pets will have more comfort being in their own home. A guarantee I offer if I do stay in your home is you will come back to it cleaner than when you left it. Coming home to happy pets and a clean home is one of the best feelings, coming from personal experience. I love playing with the energetic pets or cuddling with the more relaxed ones. I hope to get to be part of you and your pets life’s and creating a strong bond and trustworthy relationship that you will come back to happy healthy fur-babies☺️ As of right now I use Rover full time. My calendar will stay up to date, but I will keep clients updated if any minor changes come up! I am more than comfortable sending texts or pictures for updates of your fur-baby. I will adjust to your dogs schedule. I love walking and playing with energetic dogs, or cuddling with the sleepy ones!
