Charlie is amazing!! He took great care of our dog Kira, ensuring she was well-fed, exercised, and given lots of attention. He was attentive to her needs, especially given her sensitive stomach, and kept us updated with regular check-ins. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend! Let me know if you want any tweaks!

Andrew was great with Toby and Harley. He kept me updated on how they were doing. Sent photos and videos showing that all was well. Was excellent with Harley the more reserved of the 2. He has care and concern for the pets in hi his care. Both Harley and Toby enjoyed having Andrew as their sitter. I would recommend Andrew !!!!

About: For a little over four years I've been the go-to pet sitter for my coworkers when they go on vacation. I've researched all things related to dogs pretty much from the moment I learned to use a computer because I've spent almost all my life trying to convince my parents to get a dog. Spoiler alert, I was unsuccessful ): but not for lack of trying ("dogs are too big of a financial commitment" according to them... but four kids isn't??? but I digress lol)! Training has always been fascinating to me, it never fails to amaze me how smart dogs are! Overall I just love their energy and how loving they can be, being around dogs is truly therapeutic and does wonders for your mental health! You're so blessed to have one in your life and I would be honored to care for them (: <3 Sunday-Wednesday and Friday I work 7-3 and I’m off all day on Thursday and Saturday! Currently taking a break from school, so as soon as I get out of work I'll be free to devote my time to your doggies (: I live in a big apartment with a home office that I turn into the doggy room essentially although they are welcome to roam throughout the apartment of course! My neighborhood is very walkable (one of my favorite things about where I live) and I’m about a mile and a half away from like 3 parks!

About: I love dogs! I have my own Samoyed and know all the ins and outs of dog behavior, training and dog care! My dog and I are an active agility and therapy dog team, and by trade I am a behavior analyst. I'm always giving advice to friends and family on dog behavior, how to improve their relationship with their pup, and what to keep an eye out for! I tend to be the first person they call when they feel confused about a situation with their pup, or how to navigate it best. I've cared for many dogs throughout my life, and have experience with small dogs, herding breeds, and working dogs. I love being active with dogs and making sure they are having FUN! I try to do things with them that they personally enjoy, and tailor it to each dog I meet. I have treats and toys to play with, as well as experience with dogs that pull on the leash- no worries! I’m flexible and can work around your schedule as well; just let me know. If you want socialization with your dog, my Samoyed is always welcome to making new friends! I am loveable, fun, energetic, and great with dogs and cats. Whatever your needs are, they can be met FOR HOUSE SITTING: I offer house sitting services for stays of 3 days max as I have my own dog to take care of! I was recently laid-off from my company, so I am completely free from 8am-3pm everyday! With this time off, I'm looking to lean into my passion for dog and animal welfare and behavior training. Before accepting a drop-in service, I will ask to do a meet-and-greet with your dog so they become familiar with me and are not alarmed when I appear at their doorstep. It's also a great time for us to chat to see if we'd be a good fit! For all services, I do request a quick questionnaire or conversation to discuss briefly who your dog is, their personality, likes and dislikes, and anything I need to be aware of to ensure they are happy and safe in my care. It is important to set our animals up for success and positive experiences and I believe communication is the first step. I will also be available on the Rover app or my personal cell for any questions or concerns you may have. As an anxious pet parent myself, I'll be sure to ask how often you'd like to receive updates, and update you accordingly.

We are happy and satisfied with the three days that Keka has been house-sitting our pawlove Hazel. Sure they had quality time playing around the house and outside during their walk. On top of that she got to provide Hazel with some Training that she needed. We appreciate so much the time she spent with our Hazel. We will surely recommend her to our other paw parent friends and surely it won't be the last for Keka & Hazel.

Nheli was absolutely wonderful! She came a day before our booking to meet Shayna and get acclimated with her, and on babysitting day, Shayna couldn't have been happier! She was super comfortable with Nheli (even during a rainstorm, which says something!) Nheli was responsive, and sent a bunch of adorable photos. Would love to work with her again!

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, caring for animals truly brings me joy. While I’m especially intuitive with body language and behavior, my experience extends to caring for a wide variety of pets over many years. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always approach care with patience and respect. I’m experienced with shy, energetic, and even “spicy” personalities, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications in a calm, low-stress way. I prioritize both physical and mental enrichment, making sure even the laziest pets get appropriate movement, stimulation, and attention based on their needs. I’m fast to respond, reliable, detail-oriented, and highly attentive. I take pride in providing safe, thoughtful, and loving care so you can feel confident your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work as a professional hairdresser & have an extremely flexible schedule. Mornings nights weekdays weekends you need me I'm there. reliable transportation. Will answer your txt call in .2 seconds. Literally I keep my house super clean and tidy home no toxic chemicals or things animals can get into. Have a huge cat wall. toys- interactive things to stimulate & entertain. 2 doors to enter so no escapees!!!

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats, including multi-pet homes with different routines. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, and administering medication, including for senior dogs. I offer both in-home pet sitting (overnight stays) and local drop-in visits or dog walking. Whether your pet needs a walk, feeding, or company while you’re away, I can provide reliable, consistent care. Because I work remotely, I’m home most of the day and can give pets plenty of attention and supervision. I’m very respectful of the homes I stay in — clean, mindful, and responsible. I treat every space with care and always follow through on my commitments, so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m also happy to help with house sitting even without pets, if you need someone reliable to be present and look after your home. My schedule is flexible since I work remotely as an online content creator and ESL educator, so I can easily adjust my day around pet care needs. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and longer stays. I do appreciate having some notice in advance, but I’m also happy to help with last-minute requests when my schedule allows. I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day, including walks, feeding, and companionship. I provide care in my clients’ homes, offering dog walking, drop-in visits (feeding, litter box cleaning, companionship), and overnight pet/house sitting. I always follow each pet’s routine closely and prioritize safety, consistency, and comfort. I’m attentive during walks (leash safety, surroundings) and mindful of each pet’s behavior and needs. In the home, I keep the environment clean, secure, and calm. I respect all house rules and make sure doors, gates, and feeding routines are handled carefully. I also stay in communication with owners and am happy to provide updates, so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: Hi there! I’ve always loved animals and am lucky enough to have a cat of my own, Kitty, who has been with me for 6 years! I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, but rest assured, I will love them as if they are my own! Your pet will be in good hands with me and I’m excited for the chance to meet them! Pet care is a priority in my schedule! I am home most of the week and during the day so I’m very flexible on time. I love to stay active so also willing to do frequent walks or play outside with your pet. I have one cat in my home and am very careful with ensuring her safety and health - she is well-maintained and clean (e.g., brushing, cleaning teeth, trimming nails) and spayed. Just let me know if your pet has any specific needs, allergies, or anything in particular to be aware of! I’m someone who loves to take photos of my cat so if you want frequent updates on your pet, I’m happy to do that too!

Julia may have been better with my animals than I am. She stayed with them for a week and didn’t have any problems. My 18 year old dog has senior issues and Julia was able to make him comfortable enough to eat while we were away. He also had no accidents in the house while in her care. Julia kept in contact with us the entire week. I have the utmost confidence that she would care for your animals in the same Loving way she did for ours.

Taina watched our dog for 10 days while we were on vacation and she was great! Our dog generally doesn’t open up to anyone quickly and always barks at strangers, but she let Taina pet her belly the very first time they met which was such a pleasant suprise lol. She was great with our dog and kept updating us on the latest with her. We’d hire Taina for our dog again!
