“Shylina was so sweet with our June who is a little anxious- she was calm with Shylina right from the first meet and greet! The house was just as we left it. We got lots of photos of a happy June, too! Thank you so much Shylina. We will be calling on you again!”

“Taylor was very accommodating to our very old toy Fox Terrier. She stayed in our home without issue. Our dog is on medication which was provided to her and she sent regular notifications to let us know how she was doing. We will hire her in the future without hesitation!”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and genuinely love all animals. I had my first cat at age 4 and grew up with both cats and dogs. I also lived with a rescued pit bull for several years (she had a rough past and didn’t do well around other dogs), so I have some experience with anxious pups on walks. I understand how important it is to build trust and work at a pet’s pace. Whether your pet is social and playful or a bit shy and needs space, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the best care possible. Even with a full-time job in finance, I make time for what matters—and for me, that includes animals. I work a standard weekday schedule, but my evenings and weekends are all open for pet care. The flexibility of my job may allow for a late morning - early afternoon check-in. Whether its a walk, evening check-in, or weekend drop-ins, I’m happy to build a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I also spend most of my downtime at home, so if your pets need longer visits, I can give them plenty of attention and company. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medications, walking schedules, or just the way your pet likes their favorite toy tossed. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and needs. If we arrange care in my home, your pet will be treated like one of my own. I have a calm, pet-friendly space and three cat companions who are used to other animals and are gentle and well-socialized. I always do a slow introduction and only bring in pets that I know will be comfortable in that environment. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether I’m in your home or you're trusting your pet with mine.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I grew up with 6 other siblings and we always had animals around. I lost our beloved family dog about two years ago and I do not want to commit to raising another one since I like to travel. But on my down time, I really miss having a dog to love that’s why I thought this would be a great option! I recently retired so I have a lot of flexibility, and a lot more time to spend at home and to care for your dog. It’s just me and my wife that live in the home and she would be available to help if needed. We live in the country on a one acre lot so your dog would have a big area to roam! I am fine with the pet staying inside my home if that is what works best for you. I am happy to use a crate if that’s what’s preferred!
“Lydia was very responsive and detailed in her replies. If she wasn’t sure of something, she would ask for clarification, which is what I prefer, instead of assuming the wrong answer. I would book her again when we go on vacation next time!”
“Dylan was amazing caring for my elderly (almost blind) dog. He was knowledgeable about medications and eye drops. He took him on walks in the doggie stroller and was great at calming my nerves about leaving my "baby" while on vacation.”
About: I have been taking care of animals for most of my life. I have been entrusted in taking care of family and friend’s animals. I know people see their animals as part of the family and will ensure that your pets still feel that love even when you can’t be around. I’m currently working part time evening shifts, so I will have plenty of time during the day when you are at work! I also have weekend availability Since I will be taking care of your animal in your own home, I will be happy to abide by your pets usual schedule. You know your own home, so you will be happy to know your pet is in a safe, familiar environment!

About: I never had a dog growing up! I am on my second rescue and love taking care of the little cuties! I will spoil them! I work a few hours a week at a seasonal breakfast cafe, but they are very flexible when scheduling me. Also, I am active for my age! I will only dog sit in doggy’s own home but will bring my Shih Tzu with his kennel and keep him in it, if needed.
“Thank you Elizabeth for taking great care of our Jocko (about 17 years old). You were able to carry out his routines in/outside the house very well. So when we returned, I think he was a happy camper during our 20 day away vacation. This was the first time he would be left alone (without the usual many family members to overlap with care), so this local care giving plan with Rover.com worked out very well. I was reassured with photos and texts of visits as requested and Elizabeth provided the personal care for Jocko a senior cat and he is a happy cat.”
“Samantha was very professional and cared for our dogs like they were hers! She stayed at our home and it was in better shape than when we left! Will definitely be booking her for future visits!”
About: I have taken care of kittens, puppies, dogs. I have also trained my dog when I was younger when she was a puppy. I’m just here to help. If there’s anything I can do please let me know. I’d love to be a part of making sure your vacation or your day is less stressful I am in school and also I will be working from home. Going to the office a couple times a week so I am very flexible. I will ask to understand your needs wants and values period if there are certain things that you need accommodations, for I would love to understand them so that we can have a very clear understanding so that you can enjoy your time away from your pets as best as possible.

Callista C.
“Calcifer is an amazing care-taker, parent, animal lover! Just knowing Calcifer briefly is enough to know his passion is for lil creatures of all sorts. It's awesome to see the joy and care he has shown toward his own pets, including amphibians, reptiles, rodents, cats, pups, and more. My three kitties are always excited to get all the attention they can while Calcifer is around. Our Tuxie, Sage, is obsessed with getting carried like a toddler on Calcifer's shoulder. Cedar and Basil likewise never miss a chance to cuddle up with Calcifer and soak in some lovin'... Or ask for treats. Overall, I know Calcifer understands the individuality of our babies and connects with them well. Calcifer is attentive, because of his connection and compassion with animals. He definitely knows how to keep established routine and respond promptly, but he also responds well to needs that arise in the present. You can absolutely expect that strong values are at the center of Calcifer's "work," because it is passion. Having the great love, added to a wide range of experience and knowledge, makes Calcifer a great fit for the many needs that your pets may have!”

Makayla W.
“I’m a super anxious pet parent and Makayla is one of the few people I trust to look after my 3 cats. You can tell she genuinely loves all pets and strives to care for yours as if they are her own. She is excellent at following detailed instructions which is absolutely essential for my furry family because they all have different dietary restrictions and routines that must be followed. Makayla’s company and care was a saving-grace the first time I had to leave my cats alone for a longer trip abroad and I (and my cats!) would absolutely have her back in a heartbeat. She made me feel like she really respects the level of care I expect with my cats and I was able to leave them without worry that something would happen to them or they would be lonely while I was away. I cannot recommend Makayla enough to my fellow pet parents.”
