About: I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. My experience includes caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with different personalities and routines. I focus on safety, patience, clear communication, and making every pet feel comfortable, loved, and at home while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and personalized care to ensure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In both my home and clients’ homes, I follow each pet’s routine, provide close supervision, ensure access to fresh water, maintain a clean environment, and give plenty of love and attention. I also carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any special care requirements to keep pets comfortable, happy, and safe.
“Rachel was wonderful! We had a meet and greet for our pups and was sold on Mazzi’s chill personality. Rachel kept us updated with daily photos and videos of his walks and treat times. She was wonderfully communicative about concerns and had a great setup for the dog.”
About: I am the #1 person who all my friends and family trust with their pets while they enjoy a quick weekend getaway or vacation. I treat all pets like my own. I did a very good job training my 12 year old Shih Tzu and 8 year old, very well behaved and loved. I am available 24/7 and I also work from home 🏡. I have a lake nearby that I walk everyday as well! It’s about an hour walk (to and from) if your dog needs a long walk. I have a fenced yard, a small Shih Tzu and a cat to keep your babies company. I can also crate your dog if needed and have plenty of room!
About: I have experience working with a wide variety of dogs, including service dogs, hunting dogs, working breeds, and everyday family companions. I understand that every animal has its own personality, energy level, and individual needs. My approach to pet care focuses on exercise, structure, patience, and positive reinforcement. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply relaxing in a comfortable environment, I make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and activity levels. I believe in treating every animal with respect, maintaining their routines, and creating an environment where they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is simple: provide dependable, high-quality care while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care is already an important part of my daily routine. As an active dog owner, I regularly incorporate walks, exercise, outdoor activities, and training into my schedule. I work in IT and maintain a structured weekly routine, which allows me to plan pet care responsibilities carefully around my availability. I enjoy spending my free time outdoors, exploring trails, and keeping dogs physically and mentally engaged. I prioritize consistency, communication, and making sure every pet receives proper attention. My availability varies throughout the week, and I coordinate with owners in advance to ensure their pets receive the care they need. I provide a clean, comfortable, and welcoming home with plenty of indoor space for pets to relax, play, and move around freely. I also have access to a fenced outdoor area where dogs can safely enjoy supervised exercise and playtime. Safety is always my priority, and I carefully monitor interactions, activity levels, and each pet’s individual needs. As a Labrador owner, I understand the importance of structure, exercise, and maintaining a consistent routine. I respect each owner’s feeding instructions, training preferences, and any special care requirements. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat your property and animals with respect. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Christa did a fantastic job with Dirk! Thru the pictures taken you could certainly tell they took him in and treated Dirk as their own. He loved Christa's kids and we were very comfortable knowing he was being taken care of so well. We would highly recommend Christa!”
“Jessica and her family were amazing! They gave our pup so much love and attention, and sent daily updates. She also took great care of him when a small spot popped up that needed attention. We can’t wait to use them again!”
“Leticia took amazing care of my dog, Bently, on very short notice—the night before my request. She followed all of my instructions for Bently perfectly, kept me updated with detailed check-ins, and made sure Bently was comfortable the whole time! This was my first time using Rover (I usually board him), but after this experience, I’ll be booking with Leticia every time! Her great communication and the peace of mind she gave me made my trip so much easier. She’s definitely someone you can trust to take the best care of your pup!!!”
“Pablo was wonderful. His house was clean and his dogs were friendly and looked well trained. He sent me cute pictures of my dog as well. When I’m back in town I would definitely consider my dog staying with him again. Thank you!”

We had a wonderful experience with Amanda watching our puppy for 9 days! She was incredibly kind, accommodating, reliable, and responsible. She took the time to ask about all of his routines and our instructions beforehand, followed everything to the letter, and kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos. She was also very flexible when we needed to adjust our pickup time. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs, and we felt confident knowing our pup was in such caring hands. We would absolutely recommend her and will happily book with her again!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the service provided. I was informed of my dogs feedings and walks. I also received photos and she truly seemed to enjoy her stay. Will be returning. ¡Me encantó, encantó, encantó el servicio! Me mantuvieron informada sobre las comidas y los paseos de mi perrita. También recibí fotos y se notaba que disfrutó mucho de su estadía. ¡Sin duda volveré a llevarla!
I really can't praise Huan enough!! She was the absolute best dog sitter I've ever had. She keeps in touch with texts, photos and videos. This was the first time that my dogs stayed at someone else's house without me, so I was a little worried about how they would do. But Huan made sure they were eating, spoke to them so sweetly, and gave them lots of attention, walks and love. They looked so relaxed and happy in all of the picture and I think they loved having the company and people around vs. being in our house all alone for most of the day with a dog sitter stopping by occasionally. Huan is amazing and is so incredible with the dogs!!!
Copper spent 3.5 weeks with Lucy's family. Lucy was patient and calm. They took good care of him, including brushing his teeth, and they sent a lot of photos everyday. Copper missed them when we picked him up; he came back happy and well rested. We will definitely have them watch Copper in the future.
It was so great having Daisy stay with Sriju for a few days while I was away for work. Sriju made me feel comfortable leaving Daisy, a new rescue, with her. I received updates and got great feedback on Daisy. I recommend Sriju and would certainly use her again for my pet sitting needs.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
