“I recently used Jamie for cat sitting. I couldn’t be more pleased with the care my cat received from her. Jamie was reliable and has a genuine love for cats. My cat Teddy was content and happy when I returned. I received regular updates and photos. It was very reassuring. I highly recommend Jamie for anyone seeking top notch care for their fur babies!! Thank you Jamie !!!!”

About: I’ve had animals around me my whole life. I grew up on a farm and I prefer animals over people. I can train any pet I’m currently working a full time job. My weekends are free and my evenings are completely open. I get off between 4pm and 6pm depending on the week day I have a small apartment but it stays clean and tidy. I have no yard but lots of grass and sidewalk around my apartment. I will always play with your pet and make sure there is food, water, and no messes.
“Jule was a God-send for me while I was on vacation! She made sure their food and water was filled, scooped the litter boxes, swept up around the litter boxes, and stayed and played with the kitties for awhile. She took lots of pictures to send to me while I was away. My white cat, Tigger, hides whenever anyone comes over (he only stays out for me) and she had pictures of him laying on the couch!!! He was relaxed and didn’t feel scared. It’s so nice knowing I have someone I can depend on because in the past I have struggled to find someone that I could 100% depend on. Thanks Jule. The kitties thank you too!”
“Giselle was great with my fur kids! She was able to accommodate a visit with short notice, and kept me updated with how the visit went while I was away. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing they were in good hands and came home to happy, cared for dogs!”
About: I gave been around dogs and cats for 16 years! My neighbors, family members, and friends always relied on me to take wonderful care of their pets! I have a part time job, but if you let me know ahead of time I will not schedule myself to work and be available to take care of your pets. I always let my dog out and walk him, make sure he always have water and food. I love to walk dogs and make sure to watch for other pets to see if they are friendly or not.
“Sara took care of my senior, very shy, kitty and did an amazing job! She went above and beyond to make sure my little girl was eating and drinking and not afraid. She checked my plants and brought in my package. I got daily photos and updates which made me feel reassured and helped me enjoy my vacation more. I can highly recommend her services and will definitely use her again!”
About: I love animals. I always have. I don’t just think of them as animals they are family and while your pet is here they are my family too. Ohana means family and family means nobody gets left behind. I also did dog training and completed it. I just never actually got to open my own dog training program. I’m currently a stay at home mom. I do sometimes sub at my kids school. But for the most part I’m home. Means lots of time to play with your babies and give them all the attention they need. While I am able to do that I am still a mom and I do have to do things while I’m not home your baby will safely be kenneled. I have a huge yard it is not fenced but I do have a small area that is fenced. I have 2 friendly dogs that love to play. I will also be able to crate them for their safety when I’m not home.
“I was very pleased with Alexis, she arrived on time for the meet and greet prior to her first time coming to take care of the dogs. Alexis communicated with me when she was done with her visit and included a photo of the dogs while at my house too! I will definitely use her services again!”
“Elora took great care of my cat Pickles! The space where she kept her was a kitty paradise where even my very anxious cat was comfortable and secure. Elora was also very helpful in sending updates about what Pickles was up to. Will definitely try to book her again if I need to go away!”
About: I've had dogs since I was a child. I have had puppies and right now my dog just turned 15 years old and is still spritely. I also have two cats that we rescued. I am currently working part-time and I will be available to care for your pets on Sundays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays or after I get home from work on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays in the evening. I am looking forward to walking and playing with your dog or caring for your cat in the environment that they are used to and comfortable with.
About: I've grown up with multiple dogs at a time, never had a period of time where I was not around dogs. I've raised them from birth to passing away. I love playing with them, caring for them, being there for them and providing love to them. I love going for walks in the parks, around development, etc. Whatever the pup/dog likes to do is fine with me, I have a lot of history with them so I'd be more than happy to provide for any dog! I do have a lot of references just not on rover, they can be provided upon speaking/meeting! I am very accommodating and can stick to your pets schedule as close as possible to yours! I can work my schedule around whatever is needed for care. For example, pets needing strict medicine schedule. I work part time and can easily work my schedule around care whether it’s drop in visits or overnights. I also have my best friend who helps out as well. *** I do a LOT of care for families off the app which is why I do not have many reviews or ratings on here. I gladly provide references during discussion! Unfortunately cannot have pets at my current home, but I care for pets the same way their owners do at their own home. I love to play, pet , snuggle, walk, and give them whatever they need while there and keep them safe.
About: Ive had my own dogs since the time I was two, small dogs, medium dogs, large dogs, you name it. Each dog is different and deserves a certain type of love. I have a dog, three cats and more fish than I can count. I will care for your pets the same way I take care of mine. I am a full time student and enjoy a happy work life balance, so you know your pet will get the care and attention they need. I do not offer inhome services. I have a dog of my own who can get a bit over rambunctious with other dogs in my home.
About: My love for animals knows no bounds, and I will treat your beloved pets with the same care and attention that I give to my own. My dog lives a life of luxury, and I have lovingly raised a Rottweiler female who holds a special place in my heart. Taking care of her has shown me that I am capable of overcoming any challenge. When she was a puppy, we had to rely on Rover because she couldn't be left alone, so I understand the immense trust involved in leaving your baby in someone else's care. I would be honored to assist with your new puppy, high-energy dog, or older dog in need of some fresh air. I also have a soft spot for cats and would be delighted to spend time with them. My experience working with a nonprofit for cats has given me valuable insight into the diverse and delightful personalities these feline companions can have. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your treasured pets. I'm right by Waterfront Park, so I'd love to take them for a fantastic walk or run, depending on their energy level. Let's chat about what your pup enjoys most and their favorite toys! I understand how important it is to care for our pets like our children. They deserve love, attention, and all the essentials to thrive. I appreciate that everyone has their approach to caring for their pets, and I will fully respect and honor how you would like me to care for yours.
About: I have been around animals my entire life and I love them. I grow up with 2 pit bulls and a little min pin so size does not matter. I will enjoy walking and playing as much that is needed feeding, watering, etc. I’m always home even on the weekends so my availability is pretty flexible. I am also available to travel and stay for a short period of time if need be. I have experience with small and larger dogs. I have never had cat myself but my family does, so I have experience there also. I would never neglect any kind of animal when there with me. I have no problem on keeping you updated day or night about your dog or cat!
About: I have experience with dogs, cats and exotics especially parrots! I have experience with snakes, bearded dragons, rats , Guinea pigs and rats too I’ve watched various neighbors dogs for years and always focus on giving them a fun day since it’s really stressful when your a dog family leaves even for a few days. I currently have no pets at the moment so I can dedicate time to yours! I am working part time so I have a very flexible schedule and my own reliable transportation. With notice I can easily modify my routine to make sure I’m there for your pet In my home I current have it parrot proofed. So we have no chemical or anything toxic that can easily be gotten into. I also make sure not to keep any toxic foods in the house as an extra level of precaution and know that you cannot leave them alone because you never know what any pet will get into especially when their routine is disrupted
