“Therese did an amazing job with our boys! Our dogs typically bark at new people but during the meet and greet they went up to her no problem. She sent us daily updates and took great care of everything!”


“Kiara was a great sitter for my little fur baby. He was a little scared at first but soon warmed up to her. I feel very happy to have found someone my baby feels comfortable with.”


“This is my first time using Rover.Com and Karrie and the experience was awesome! Easy to find the best qualified sitter by the photos/reviews, easy payment and follow up. Karrie was perfect for my pups! We chatted beforehand about my expectations, gave her background on my Doxies who both had IVDD surgery this past year, their unique personalities and explore Karrie’s qualifications. Perfect match! She stayed with my 2 Doxies 8 hours in our hotel suite while we attended a football game. She arrived on time, followed my instructions and my pups were safe & happy upon our return. Would definitely use her and Rover.Com again!”


“Sheldon Cooper is a rescue and we did not know how he would do at someone else’s home, but Margherita and her husband made Sheldon Cooper feel like one of the family. The daily pics were great, and we highly recommend Margherita!”


“This was the second time David cared for our 2 six month old puppies. They love him! They are a handful and cares for them with ease. Would highly recommend him. I am very comfortable having him stay at my home.”


“Sarah was great with her communication with us. Always prompt with responses and kept us up to date with lots of pictures. We appreciate her enthusiasm. She followed feeding instructions for Ellie and Theo carefully. We came home to a well ordered house and dogs that were happy and healthy. :)”


“Tonya, was exceptional. Dogs loved her, I was able to relax and enjoy my time at my daughters wedding in Dominican without having to regularly check in at home. I received updates and photos which is something I need and she just checked all the boxes. I trust her and would absolutely use her again! (she evan had to administer meds to one dog daily and no issues) Thank you for everything!”


About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and my caretaking days started at a young age! From ensuring they get their daily vitamins, allergy medicine, or prescriptions, to preparing special diet foods and even orchestrating separate meal times when needed, I've done it all. I've also worked on basic obedience skills with several furbabies. Of course, there's been endless fun playtime, invigorating walks, and diligent poop-scooping to maintain cleanliness and hygiene. It's been a lifetime of love and dedication to our furry family members! Feel free to book me, I'm happy to help ☺️! I'm a 2nd Grade teacher, so Summers are primarily open! During the academic school year, I have free time after 4pm Monday to Friday. Weekends are open for discussion too! When I care for your beloved cat or dog in your home, their comfort and well-being are my absolute top priorities. My goal is for all Fur Friends to feel secure and happy in their own familiar environment, minimizing any stress while you're away. This includes maintaining their regular feeding schedule and dietary needs (please let me know all the specifics!), ensuring plenty of fun playtime, and diligently managing potty breaks. Potty Time: for our well-trained canine friends, I take them outside every 3-4 hours, while young puppies or those still learning house manners will be taken out every 2 hours. To ensure I'm not a stranger to your fur baby, I always recommend a **meet-and-greet** beforehand. This way, we can all get acquainted, and your pet can feel comfortable and safe with me from day one. I have a 2 year old Yorkie Terrior to keep your fur baby company. He's quiet & sleeps in his crate at night but if you're not comfortable with another doggo in your home, I can make arrangements for him 😊. Thank you!

“Natalie took great care of Lily for 4 drop in visits! She sent me videos and pics and everything was just how I left it when I got home! Will be re booking her in the future….thank you Natalie!”


“Marlene is a 5 ⭐️ sitter! My dogs were very comfortable and happy with her. She was friendly, dependable, confident, and great with my dogs. She took great photos and videos of her time with them. She paid attention to every detail of their needs and their regular routine. I highly recommend Marlene and will definitely book her again.”


About: I’ve had the joy of growing up around animals my whole life including four cats, two of whom I cared for through their senior years, a sweet pug who lived to 15, and my current dog, a spunky Australian Shepherd that I trained myself in both behavior and fun tricks. I have hands-on experience with both puppies and older pets and I understand how to adjust care to fit their energy levels and needs. Beyond my own pets, I’ve also cared for a wide variety of breeds and temperaments through pet sitting from energetic puppies to shy seniors. I’m patient, upbeat, and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and entertained. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, or cuddle sessions, I treat every animal like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because animals have always been part of my daily life. I’m home most days and have a flexible schedule, so I can easily plan my day around walk times, feeding schedules, or play visits. Whether it’s early mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and love they need. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and caring for them is something I look forward to every day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home or a client’s, I always make sure the environment is clean, calm, and secure. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and preferred walking routes. I keep a close eye on behavior and body language to make sure pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I also respect the client’s home as if it were my own, keeping things tidy and following all instructions carefully. I send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy, healthy, and in great hands.

Abbigayle was amazing! She sent lots of videos and pictures and communicated daily. Left our house the way we left it, maybe cleaner 🤣. Our oldest takes medication and she had no problems with it. I would recommend her to anyone and will be using her again for future services.
