“Destiny was the best! The pups loved her, was super communicative, and left the house spotless. We appreciate her so much and highly recommend for anyone looking for a pet sitter. Will definitely be reaching out the next time we need a sitter :)”
“This was our first time using Rover for house sitting and it was worth it! Taryn is so sweet, she kept us updated on our pets and sent us plenty of pictures. We had a meet and greet prior to booking but of course my pets loved her! I knew my babies were in the best hands and look forward to booking with Taryn again! ?”
“Amanda was great during her stay with older pup! While we were away on vacation, she sent updates and pictures and our dog was in great spirits when we returned home. We’ll definitely book again!”

About: I was always had furry siblings but have graduated to a cat mama. I enjoy creating personal heavens for our companions. Reliable, punctual and kind. I have a full-time job that pays the bills but I am looking for ways to feed my soul. Overnights are great as well as drop ins. I would prefer to host at client's homes as my current home does not allow dogs. Willing to board or take cats overnight. Let's make it a sleepover!
“David takes such great care of our two dogs! I can always tell they are very well taken care of and he sends lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend him!”
“Michaela was wonderful to work with. She watched my dog and my parent’s dog for a couple hours because we didn’t want to leave them unattended. She sent adorable photos of snuggles and play time with the pups. She was great to communicate with and seemed to be very comfortable around the pups right away. Would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life ranging from fish, amphibians, rodents, birds, cats, and dogs. I love connecting with animals and giving them all the love they deserve! I also am a former vet assistant (I now work at a vet lab) so I have experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and health statuses. My priority is the pets’ safety and comfort, and will work with them to ensure we have a foundation of trust. I also can work enrichment into my visits to get their minds more stimulated or just give them a 15 minute belly rub if that’s more up their alley. I’ve also trained many of my pets so I can help introduce basic commands to puppies or reinforce commands and manners from older pets. I’m available pretty much every day for the summer. Once mid-August comes around, I’ll be available Sunday-Tuesday at all times and Wednesday-Saturday from 9-11 AM I can come in let the pets out, clean up messes from them, feed/water, play enrichment games or work on training, and give them lots of love!
“Twinkie enjoyed every minute. Thank you for being attentive and keeping him happy”
“Miranda was great! Zeus loved her!”
“Maddie was responsive and understanding of the special care our older cat needed. Our pets were happy and comfortable when we got home. She sent a video of one of our skittish pets being comfortable enough to come out, which was nice to see. Thanks Maddie!”
About: As a dog sitter, my dedication to providing personalized care tailored to each dog's unique needs sets me apart. With a background in having dogs, I work well with puppies, helping them develop good manners and basic obedience skills. Additionally, I have experience in senior dog care, ensuring older dogs receive the attention, patience, and gentle care they deserve. My commitment to creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for every furry friend entrusted to my care is unmatched. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. Each day, I allocate specific time slots for feeding, exercise, and playtime with the dogs under my care. I prioritize their well-being by ensuring they receive regular walks, and plenty of love and attention. Flexibility is key, allowing me to accommodate any unexpected changes or emergencies that may arise while always prioritizing the health and happiness of the pets in my care. In both scenarios, whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for the pets. In my home, I ensure that it's pet-friendly, with designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playing. I maintain a consistent routine, including regular feeding times, walks, and play sessions. I also provide plenty of mental stimulation through interactive toys and games. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their routines and preferences while providing attentive and reliable care. This includes following feeding schedules, adhering to any medication regimens, and maintaining the cleanliness of the home. I strive to keep the pets' environment as consistent and stress-free as possible while their owners are away.

Ashley H.
“I have known Ash for many years. Ash is the most trustworthy, reliable, and caring person when it comes to animals of all kinds (and humans). At the most, Ash has cared for my 6 cats (1 needing medicine), 1 rabbit and 1 dog all at once and has done so many times. Ash has even cared for fish (feeding, cleaning tanks). Ash has a heart of gold and takes tremendous care with all animals. I highly recommend her/they/them.”

Jazmine A.
“What can I say, Jazmine loves animals. She has been around animals all her life. She is good to them and good with them. One day our dog ran off. She went out for over an hour in the cold looking for him. Jazmine just knows when something is wrong with the dogs. Our same boy dog that ran off got stung by bees. I couldn't really tell but she saw he was starting to swell. Vet office here we come, he needed 3 Benadryl and a shot. Also my same dog (he was a real good dog but not too bright) ate my other dogs arthritis pills. Jazmine followed the trail. He ate 40 pills. Vet here we come. If it wasn't for Jazmine he would have died. Jazmine saved a bird hanging by its leg from a gutter. Took it to the vet. Jazmine just loves animals.”
Victoria A.
“Tori is an amazing person. I have known her personally for many years but she started taking care of my fur babies about two years ago. They love her. I have a very skittish dog that will not warm up to anyone and Tori can get him to go outside for her, snuggle with her, etc. She is very loving, LOVES animals and will make sure your babies are taken care of. I know my animals can cause messes (I have 4 of them) and I always come back to my house clean and no sign of any messes (which I know she is covering for them). :) I would highly recommend Tori to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She will take care of them as if they are her own.”
