5. Gabrielle P.
About: I have always had a deep love for pets. My family has taken in many different types of pets when it comes to foster care, adoption, or long term care. In high school, I was a dog washer for a local groomer and in college, I was a foster mom to three amazing cats. I’m always respectful of your pets boundaries and would treat them as I would my own. I currently have two boy cats that I love with all of my heart. I have joined Rover to play and meet with great, local pets I work PM shift at a local hospital so I am free every morning! Also, I am off most weekends and have the flexibility to do drop-ins more frequent. I have two fur babies myself (cats) that I take pride in giving them the best care they deserve. I scoop their litter box daily and give them fresh water. I also like to bring out their toys for daily play.


6. Jessica C.

“Jessica was wonderful. She was able to come on short notice, and still made time to visit ahead of time to get acquainted with our shy pup (and us). She is prompt, reliable, and easily made friends with Doxie. We would definitely ask her back for future needs.”


7. NaBeela W.


“NaBeela took care of my 2 senior cats in my home while I was out of the country. She was kind, an awesome communicator, and easy to work with. Thank you for taking such great care of things and giving me peace of mind while I was away!”


8. Jaqueline S.
About: Hi! I am a dog lover with a sweet rescue dog of my own. I have fostered many dogs & have taken training courses with my foster group. I’ve taken care of different breeds, from small and cuddly to big and energetic. I enjoy spending time with them, going for walks, playing fetch, and giving them lots of love and attention. I work from home so your furbaby will not be left alone for long periods. I am extra cautious when it comes to the dogs & you can always be at peace knowing they’re at getting treated like royalty at my home! I work from home and I am very active. I can attend to the dog most of the day. If I leave the house it is no more than 3 hours. I have a fenced yard and I have a big crate at home, if needed. I do intros with my dog to make sure all dogs are comfortable with each other.


9. Guillermina L.

“Guillermina was great with my cats. She was able to visit everyday to feed, play and administer supplements. I recommend her for your visits.”


10. Alaedja J.
About: My calm demeanor works best with those that are old, skittish, or just wanting a comforting presence. For those with high energy I will happily play with them to their hearts content so you can come home to a calm and content pet. Currently, my schedule allows for me to be available in the mornings as early as 7am. Evenings until 10 are negotiable if more time is required. To give your pet the best care I require a rundown of your pets daily life and any special needs they may have so as to do that to keep to their schedule.


11. Alexandro G.

“Very communicative & helpful. Took care of my pup like it was his own. Already re-booked!”


12. Alexandra E.

“Alexandra was fantastic!!! Our pets loved her!”


13. Michelle M.
“Michelle is amazing! I have 2 huskies which are full of energy and are pretty high maintenance dogs, who both love spending time with Michelle and get excited to see her. I feed my dogs raw and have to weight each meal perfectly which Michelle is more than capable of. She's capable of walking both at the same time (a 50lb and 65lb husky) and over all amazing with stimulating my dogs. She is both responsible and loving definitely recommend!”




14. Megan M.
“First and foremost, Megan loves animals. She has dedicated herself to caring for them as a veterinary technician (animal nurse). She has pets of her own and loves her patients and clients' pets as they were her own, too. She is responsible and competent and has experience with medicating pets as well. I trust her with my pets and you can trust her with yours.”


15. Athena S.
“Athena has taken care of my 2 dogs on multiple occasions. She goes above and beyond and doesn’t just walk them. She plays with them in our backyard, and gives them lots of pets. They are always excited when they see her.”


16. Shari H.

“Shari and her family are awesome!! My dog literally pants and cries to get out of the car when we pull into her driveway. My dog always comes home, happy and tired. I love leaving him in a home and not a kennel while I travel. He sleeps in a bed and has the run of the whole house and backyard. She has a lot of doggy experience and always keeps me informed of how he's doing. Highly recommend!”


17. Chyna G.
“Chyna is a true dog lover, has been one since she was a little girl. If you want your dog to be loved and take care then she is the perfect one for the job. Chyna is responsible and committed to her own dog and I know she will do the same for any other dog.”


18. Michelle M.
“When it comes to fur-babies, Michelle is the epitome of trustworthy and responsible. She always goes above and beyond for everything and she has my trust when it comes to my pup!”


19. Cristina P.
“I’ve known Cristina for over 10+ years and have seen first hand how much she truly loves animals. She is very kind hearted, patient, and active with any dog I’ve ever seen her with. Whether it be her own or mine, she will be a great sitter! You can’t go wrong with her care and attention!”

About: I have owned 2 French bulldogs since high school, caring for them from puppy to senior. Having pets of my own has allowed me to understand the ins and outs of pet care. Whether it’s a leisure stroll, feeding, or playtime, I’m here to give your pets the same love and attention I give my own. I am currently taking time off of work so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your pets. I can be flexible with hours/days as I have no restrictions on my schedule.

I follow the pet’s specific care instructions, maintain their schedule, and ensure they feel comfortable and safe.
