“Beth took great care of our cat, Rupert. He got attention and brushing time. 😊 Beth was super responsive and made us feel at ease while we were out.”


About: I have been watching my neighbors dogs for the past 17 years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. Since I am young and active, I can take your dog on walks and provide plenty of exercise throughout the day. Additionally, I can provide overnight sitting and ensure your house looks occupied. I am more than happy to bring in your mail/packages, water your plants, adjust the blinds, turn on and off lights, bring garbage cans to the curb (and back) for trash pick up. I have a cat of my own named Oliver so I also have years of experience with cat care! I can come check on your feline friend and will feed, refresh water, play, and clean the litter box as needed. I am very free during the summer. During the week I can stop by anytime during the day, as well as provide overnight care. I am also free most weekends. I understand it is hard to leave your furry friend so I really do go out of my way to put pet owner's at ease. I will consistently provide updates and photos so you know you are in good hands.

“Patient and has a good vibe all around. Happy we went with her! We feel comfortable having her with our dog. He can be a lot but she doesn’t seem shy or uncomfortable being around him.”

“syndey takes very good care of my dogs, sometimes i feel like they like her more than me lol, they love having her and they are so excited when she comes over they feel very loved and spoiled.”


Sophia H.
“Sophia is one of the best pet caregivers I have ever trusted to take care of my own pets. She is caring, considerate, and hardworking. I have never worried about anything while my pets are in her care because they are so excited to see her and beyond happy when I return. When my dog was sick, Sophia was the first person to help our family out. Not only did she care for him like he was her own dog, but when he passed, she cried with us and we mourned the loss together. Sophia is one of the best dog sitters I know because she is able to meet each dog where they are at, adapting to their own individual needs. She has experience with her own pets at home, and she has taken care of countless other pets throughout her time as a pet caregiver. Sophia is loving, personable, and dependable; she is someone I can always reach out to for support.”

Daphne Z.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Daphne as a pet caregiver on Rover. She is one of the most responsible, compassionate, and attentive pet lovers I know. She took the best care of her now sadly passed dog, Goldie, who I have seen grow with her and has taught her so much real life pet experience and distilled a habit of long-term care for pets. Whether it’s providing daily walks, ensuring meals are on time, or simply offering endless love and affection, Daphne treats every pet as if it were her own. I have seen her interact with many of our other friends dogs, and her experience with Goldie and others are just unmatched!!! Every time Daphne is around a pet, she always shares a picture (of course with the owner's permission!) - this just shows how considerate and how much she loves pets! I’ve personally seen how patient and caring Daphne is, always prioritizing the well-being and happiness of the pets around her. She keeps them disciplined, but will always play with them and know what they need! From high energy puppies to more mellow older dogs, Daphne knows how to handle it. She has raised Goldie from young and understands every stage of life a dog has, and what they need during that stage. Her reliability and genuine love for animals make her an incredible choice for any pet parent looking for someone they can trust. If you’re searching for a dedicated, loving, and responsible pet sitter or walker, you won’t find anyone better than Daphne. Daphne is also a professional in the medical field, displaying that she can stay calm and know whats best in any situation! People can trust her with anything!”
