“Emanuela was so sweet and kind to my cat! She took wonderful care of her, gave her lots of attention and was very communicative with me. My cat is extremely social and I don’t like to leave her alone, but I felt very reassured and comfortable knowing Emanuela was checking on her daily. Thank you so much!!”


“Maria was FANTASTIC to work with! She was communicative and we felt very safe and secure leaving our dog while we went on vacation. She provided feedback and pictures after each visit, and gave our dog extra love and attention which we appreciated! We would 100% choose to work with her in the future!”


“Sabita went above and beyond to help us. When our other sitter ended up going to the emergency room, Sabita responded to my panicked Rover message within 2 hours, and made time for my pets. She was communicative, punctual, and followed our directions. She additionally boarded our dog for a few hours during a home sale Open House, then helped find the escaped cats (loose in the house following the Open House) and still came back for a night time visit. She let us know that there was a leak in the kitchen, and helped lay out towels and a bin to catch water. Sabita couldn’t have been more helpful and kind. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”


About: Hi, I’m Kimberly! I was born an animal lover, and I’ve spent my life surrounded by all kinds of pets—from puppies and parrots to ponies and hedgehogs! Over the years, I’ve worked as a vet tech, kennel tech, dog breeder, handler, trainer and breed judge. I’ve also raised a family alongside a full house of animals, young and old, healthy and in need of extra care. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I’ve helped nurse many pets back to health with patience, time, and love. I believe every animal deserves gentle, attentive care—especially when their humans are away. Let me be your pet’s loving caregiver and companion while you’re gone. I’ll treat them like family! ⸻ Why I love pet sitting I’ve loved animals my whole life! Pet sitting allows me to do what I love most—care for animals—while giving peace of mind to other pet parents. ⸻ Can I administer medication? Yes! I worked as a veterinary technician for 5 years and have experience with oral medications, injections, wouand care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening snuggles, I’m available to accommodate your routine. I’ll work with you to make sure your pet stays happy, comfortable, and on schedule while you’re away. There truly is no place like home, especially when it comes to our beloved pets. I wholeheartedly believe that animals find their greatest joy and sense of security within the warmth and familiarity of their own surroundings. That’s why I provide gentle, trustworthy in-home care designed to maintain your pet’s routine and minimize any stress they may feel. Whether it’s a nutritious meal, a refreshing walk, administering medication, or simply sharing some cuddle time, I promise to care for your pet with all the love and tenderness as if they were my own, right in the comfort of their cherished home.

About: We’ve had many dogs from small to large over the last 18 years. We’d love to take care of your pets so you can unwind and unplug. We are around most weekends over the summer to walk/ board your pets. During the week, we work full time but can stop in before and after work and before bed. We will treat your dog as one of our own. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed. We have a large fenced in backyard for exercise and play. Our 3 kids will tire out your pup. Unfortunately our daughter is allergic to cats so we can’t board them but we’d love to drop in to feed/ play with them.

“Faith was an exceptional dog sitter who exceeded all expectations. She was punctual every day, ensuring that our pups received consistent care and attention.

Additionally, she captured lots of great pictures of the pups, which was a delightful bonus for us. Her reliability and thoughtful care made a significant difference, and we highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter.”

“Kate was amazing with Sage! I couldn't be more happy with my first Rover experience. She played with her to tire her out, was very considerate about timing walks to assure Sage was never overheated, and sent photos of my very happy looking pup! I was so worried that Sage would be upset about the first time that we left her for nearly the whole day, but Kate completely eased this worry as she messaged me with frequent updated and I saw how much fun Sage had with her. By the time I got home, she was still sleepy from the exciting day, but happy as a pup could be. Thank you so much Kate!!”

About: I have had and cared for pets all my life, and have an extreme love for animals. Dogs are my favorite and I care for them with all my heart, but my love of animals spans much further. From four legged family members to barnyard beauties there is no animal I would not love to share some of my time with. I have also worked in a Vet office in the past, and even teach Dog Yoga on occasion! I treat all animals as I treat my own pets at home, with love, kindness, and respect. I am a Yoga Instructor, and usually teach classes in the morning and at night. This leaves my early mornings, afternoons, and late nights free. I have had many pets over the years that required different care. I can crate animals if needed. I do not have a fenced in yard, so I am used to leash walking dogs if needed. I have a kitten at home who love to try and escape outside, and am always aware of pets’ location and safety.
