“This is the second time we had Tiffany take care of our fur babies. She kept us updated and sent many cute photos. Tiffany responded immediately if I reached out for any reason. She is excellent and my babies adore her, which is everything to me! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing they were under her care.”

About: I have a degree in animal behavior and I’m at home all day long so I am able to provide constant care and attention as well as administer any medication/meet any feeding requirements. Stay at home mom so I am able to give the best care whenever they require/want it! Goes on frequent walks and to dog park daily I have a fenced in patio and baby gates in house as well as my dogs are kennel trained if any dogs need to eat separately and to provide good one on one time

About: I have had pets since I was 1 years old - whatever my parents let me get away with (dog, cats, fish, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs). As an adult I continue to own cats and dogs and currently own 2 cats. I will treat your pet as a member of my family while in my care. I nursed my cat to health from losing a kidney and he lived till he was 17yo. I nursed my geriatric dog with eye disease, arthritis until he was 14.5yo. I am more experienced with adult and geriatric pets than babies but welcome all. I am currently unemployed and seeking supplemental income. I'm also healing from CIRS/Lyme and need a walking partner to improve my health! My schedule is flexible although I do often have evening commitments with my son and his activities. My yard is large and fenced in. I live next to several walking trails and have a quiet neighborhood. I live close to a dog park and dog beach. I am familiar with crate training and administering medications.

About: What sets me apart is my background as a Physician Assistant student, which means I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and used to caring for others with real responsibility. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets, medication administration, and pets who need a little extra patience or monitoring. I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, and safety—whether that’s following feeding instructions to the letter, noticing when something feels “off,” or making sure your pet is comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I also have experience with gentle puppy care, reinforcing routines, and providing consistent structure without harsh training methods. Bottom line: I don’t just “watch” pets, I care for them thoughtfully and intentionally, the same way I’m trained to care for patients. Your pet’s well-being always comes first. Weekly Routine: I’m most available Friday through Sunday, which allows for longer visits, flexible scheduling, and unrushed care. I plan my days in advance so walks, feedings, and check-ins happen consistently. Daily Care: I build pet care into my routine, not around it—no last-minute rushing. I follow established schedules closely and ensure each visit receives my full attention. Communication: I’m responsive and proactive with updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how things are going. In short: structured care, flexible weekends, and pets that stay on their routine. I prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment. In a client’s home, I closely follow routines, secure doors and leashes, and respect the space. I’m attentive, careful, and proactive with communication.

About: As a person I'm very friendly and responsible and capable . I've got a great demeanor which lends itself well to patiently interacting with all kinds of pets. I am experienced with pups and cats (and many other animals) of all breeds, ages, and sizes. In particular, I have a huge soft spot for young puppies and kittens they are just they cutest thing in the world. I understand that each pet is unique, special, and loved. So I will value providing individualized experiences for every animal. Whether you're looking for a one-time, long-term, as-needed, or on-demand sitter, please don't hesitate to send me a message. . I offer Rover's standard drop ins walks and house sits. Upon request I can also provide extended daytime visits

“first time I used Rover and was pleasantly surprised by the care Caroline gave to my dog. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of my dog. Took him for nice walks and let me know how he was doing.”

About: Aside from having my own personal dogs in home most of my life I have been volunteering working with and training rescues for 2 years now. Two hours in the Morning, two hours around lunch and all evenings are all free to care for the pets. Walks, fetch and training all available. If dogs are kid and animal friendly I will be able to give them lots of socialization in those environments plus lots of outdoor activity. Have experience working with dogs that don’t interact with other dogs very well.

“Brittany has been excellent as usual. She checked my cats teeth and the health of her legs. I had no idea she had arthritis in that area. If you want a nurse and fun companion for your let, Brittany is the one!”

About: Hi, my name is Laillanni!! ☺ Animals are my life! They make me happy. When I was younger I had different types of pets. For example, a dog, a cat, birds and hamsters. I would say one my strong traits are patience, courage and optimism. When it comes to people or animals, I definitely have patience with them. I believe, I am a great choice for your furry friend because they will be in good hands and will be waging their furry tail when they see you again! I also love to run. So if you have an active dog, just know we're gonna get a workout in and kick furry butts. lol At the moment, I have time on my hands to meet some new furry friends and get in shape if that's what they need. Can't wait to set up a meet and greet.🤗 I live in a small apartment. I don't have backyard. However, if your pet is staying the night at my apartment. We will definitely be outside at least 3-5 times a day.🏃‍♀️🐕
