“Christina cared for our four cats in our home while we were away. She is extraordinary in every regard! We look forward to welcoming her back soon. Before we left for our trip, we could clearly see that Christina was passionate in regard to her dedication to providing the best care for each of our cats. In our conversations, she was meticulous about every aspect of their care. It was obvious from Christina’s communication and the photos that she shared with us while we were away that she offered kindhearted attention to our cats, made sure their food was offered on time, kept their litterboxes tidy and kept our house exceptionally clean. When we returned home, everything was in perfect order, and the cats were calm and very contented. One of our cats is on medication and needs special attention. Christina was very willing to work with her. She administered the medication and gave her that special sense of warmth and friendliness that prompted our cat to become her friend for life! We are truly grateful. Christina is professional, gracious and conscientious in every respect. She is a very intelligent young lady. We highly recommend her and look forward to welcoming her into our home again.”

About: I have always grown up with dogs and cats and have been taking care of them since I was young. I have had my own dog, Isabel, for 12 years now. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes of dogs as well as with senior dogs or puppies. I have a W-2 job from 8am-4:30pm Monday-Friday. Availability: -drop-ins: in the morning before work and in the evenings after work on the weekdays. Anytime on the weekends. -walks: in the evening of weekdays, anytime on the weekends -house/pet-sitting: anytime on the weekends and available most Holidays Above all, I want your pet to be comfortable and safe. I will do my best to adjust to their personality and needs. Is your fur baby shy? I'll wait for them to come to me. Is your fur baby playful and cuddly? I'll give them lots of quality time. I will follow all food, water, and medicine instructions as needed. And most of all, I will treat them as I would my own pet.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime to sweet senior pets who require extra patience and gentle attention. I tailor my care to match each pet’s individual needs. My calm, intuitive energy and strong attention to detail allow me to connect thoughtfully with animals. I’m experienced with medication schedules, consistent feeding routines, and creating enrichment through long walks, play, or light training sessions. Every pet I care for is treated with love, safety, and respect. Your pet’s comfort and happiness always come first, and I care for them like they’re my own. I’m an early riser, so I’m up and ready to take care of pets first thing. Working remotely, allows me to stay available throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, check-ins, or just being a calm presence in the house, I have the flexibility to give pets the attention they need without rushing or distractions. Whether I’m walking your dog or staying in your home, your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your routines closely, keep a calm and consistent energy, and always treat your space and your pet with care and respect. On walks, I stay alert to the environment, avoid unsafe or crowded areas, and never walk pets off-leash unless in a fully enclosed space with your permission. I pay close attention to your dog’s body language and energy level to make sure they feel relaxed and happy throughout our time together. During house sitting, I maintain a peaceful, pet-focused environment. I make sure your pet sticks to their usual routine—whether it’s feeding times, medications, or favorite spots to nap and play. I keep your home clean and secure, and always keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you know your pet is safe, loved, and never alone. Building trust with you and your pet matters to me. I keep things calm, consistent, and always tuned into what your pet needs. Whether I’m in your home or out on a walk, I make sure they feel safe, cared for, and totally comfortable.

“Taylor was amazing! Our dog was really nervous at first and wouldn’t come out of his crate. She took the time to earn his trust and work with him. Thank you so much, Taylor!”

“Margaret was so great with our very energetic, sweet Otto and our house. She communicated well and provided daily updates with pictures. I could tell she care for our dog by giving him, food, exercise, his flea meds, and lots of cuddles! She even filled and froze some kongs for him since I wasn’t able to get to it. She left the house nice and clean. I would 100% use her services again!”

Camila P.

“Johanna was amazing with Hudson and Apollo! She kept me updated with photos and messages, and I could tell the dogs were happy and well cared for. Hudson can be a handful with his energy and prey drive, but she handled him with patience and confidence. Apollo, who can be a little shy, warmed up to her quickly. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in great hands. Highly recommend Johanna – I’d absolutely book her again!”

Branden H.

“Lois does a great job taking care of our home and our pup. We feel so much more comfortable traveling now that we know we have someone taking care of our dog and his separation anxiety.”

“Brooke was absolutely the best! She made sure that my 3 cats and dog was well taken care of for an entire weekend. Brooke sent pictures the entire week, exercised my pets and made sure they were well fed. This was me and my partners first time using a pet sitting service and we could not imagine using anyone else. I definitely would recommend Brooke to anyone , she is the absolute best.”

About: All my life, I’ve had a deep love and respect for animals. Throughout the years, I’ve had the privilege of interacting with species of all shapes and sizes—from dogs and cats to rodents and raptors, horses and parrots, even terrapins and cetaceans. For over a decade, I worked at an animal welfare and conservation nonprofit, helping rescue and rehabilitate animals displaced by natural disasters or conflict zones. I’ve also dedicated hundreds of hours to volunteering at a local wildlife rehabilitation center, where I tended to injured and orphaned animals, assisting in their recovery and release back into the wild. Countless family members, friends, and colleagues have entrusted me with their pets, knowing I would provide them with the attentive, compassionate support they deserve. Simply put, caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. When it comes to household pets, I have more than 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy, providing gentle care for a senior dog, or tending to a pet with special needs that requires extra patience and attention, I tailor my approach to fit each dog's unique needs. I have experience with basic training, administering medications, and understanding canine body language to ensure a safe and comfortable environment. With my genuine connection to animals along with my extensive experience, I am fully committed to your pet’s well-being. You can count on me to provide reliable, high-quality care while treating your furry family member with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether your pup needs a fun playmate, a cuddle buddy, or a compassionate guardian, I’m here to help! Pet care is already a natural part of my routine. I have two dogs—Foxie, an eight-year-old street dog rescued from Romania, and Bailey, a 16-year-old Beagle mix who was rescued from an elderly couple no longer able to provide her with the specialized care she needs. I’m available both weekdays and weekends, allowing me to organize my schedule around you and your pet’s needs. Day to day, I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to prioritize long walks and home visits. I currently work part-time from home, giving me plenty of time to provide your fur baby with attention and stimulation during daycare and boarding. When you book with me, you’ll have not just one, but two people dedicated to caring for your pet! My partner is just as much of an animal person as me. She also works from home, so even when I need to step out, someone will always be here to keep an eye on your pet. With us two, along with Foxie and Bailey, there will always be a full house with lots of socialization—ensuring your fur baby always has company and never feels lonely while you're away. Overall, my routine is highly adaptable, allowing me to offer reliable and consistent care for your pets, keeping them happy, healthy, and well-loved every day. Let me know what you need, and we’ll make it work! I’m also happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before a booking to ensure all of our furry friends feel comfortable and get along. Ensuring the safety, comfort, and happiness of every pet in my care is my top priority. For boarding and daycare services, I’m happy to care for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes, including multiple dogs at once. However, with my two dogs at home, your fur baby must get along with other dogs. I offer a pet-friendly environment with a large fenced-in backyard for play and exercise, several cozy dog beds for relaxation, a variety of toys for stimulation, and designated areas for feeding and water. At home, we don't enforce a strict "no pets on furniture" policy, so your fur baby is welcome to join us on the sofa or bed. Since we’re usually home, your dog won’t be kenneled for long periods, and even when we leave, we won’t kennel them unless needed for their well-being or if they’re not well-behaved when unsupervised. Our home is situated in a spacious, enclosed neighborhood, perfect for long walks without heavy traffic, and we're also close to several parks to provide additional enrichment. Overall, I believe in striking the right balance when caring for your pet—closely supervising interactions to ensure a positive, stress-free experience while allowing enough freedom for their daily activities to feel natural and not overly restricted. When caring for a pet at a client’s home, I believe in maintaining their usual routine to minimize stress and help them feel comfortable in your absence. Whether it’s sticking to specific feeding schedules, encouraging regular exercise, administering medications as needed, or engaging in their favorite playtime activities, I carefully follow all instructions to provide consistency and stability. I treat each home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and secure, from locking up gates to monitoring the safety of outdoor areas. I also make it a priority to respect your belongings and privacy, ensuring your personal items are handled with care and never disturbed. Additionally, I’m happy to provide regular updates, including photos and videos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to build trust with both pets and their owners, ensuring that both feel safe, at ease, and well cared for throughout the entire experience. Let me know how I can best accommodate your pet’s specific needs!

About: I will follow your instructions and make sure your pet has all the attention he/she needs to stay happy and healthy while you're away! I am extremely reliable and communicative. I grew up with both cats and dogs and used to foster dogs. I currently have a cat and two chickens. I work part-time from home and am very flexible with time and day. I can provide care last minute if needed as well. I will absolutely prioritize your pet! I will ensure both your pet and hour house is well taken care of. I've been a pet parent all my life and use Rover all the time. It's my job to make sure you don't have to stress about your pets while you're away.
