“Monica did an amazing job caring for our cat, Maisie, during daily check-ins while we were on vacation. She was attentive, compassionate, and highly responsive. Whenever something was off, like Maisie not eating or skipping the litter box, Monica let me know right away. She even took the time to look for Maisie when she was hiding to make sure she was safe. Monica made sure everything was secure (including locking the door), and she always responded to messages promptly. Maisie has anxiety and was clearly distressed without her humans, but Monica showed such empathy and patience. Her care and communication truly put my mind at ease and made me feel confident using Rover. I would absolutely rebook with her in the future. Thank you, Monica, for taking such great care of our girl!🐱”

“Keerie took great care of my three kitties! She communicated before and during/after the visit and sent photographs to help put me at ease! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter”

“Janel has been so incredibly patient with my dog Willow. Willow is very anxious and struggles to trust new people. She has spent time getting to know her and allowing her space to get comfortable with her!! Janel has been a great Rover friend for Willow and I would certainly recommend her to others, especially if your dog has anxiety issues with new people like mine. Thanks Janel!”

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.
“Missy was so wonderful with my puppy Corbin! I had zero concerns leaving him in her hands. She was very communicative, followed directions, was respectful of my home, and was detailed in her updates. The photos she included in her updates were the highlight of my day! I could tell she really enjoyed her time with him and he was having fun and felt safe with her. Thank you so much, Missy!!!”

“Thank you SO much Marie!! Marie was fantastic, I booked last minute and she was very accommodating and patient with me. She sent me lots of pictures and even did some cleaning of Finn’s liter box and the liter on the floor!! She replies quickly as well, which is always great. I will definitely be booking with you again!!”

“Rebecca was great! We have a pretty nervous cat and Rebecca got her to open up in their first meeting! Handled everything we requested and even helped bring in our mail while we were gone. Can't recommend enough!”
