Blanca was amazing with our three cats. The house was immaculate when we got home and I’ve never seen the cats quite so unbothered by us coming home because they’d clearly been well looked after.

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience paired with genuine love and patience for every dog I care for. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, and raised and trained my first puppy, a spirited miniature dachshund, when I was 13. Since then, I’ve been a go-to sitter in my community and church, caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. About 10 years ago, I rescued and fully trained my own dog. He was incredibly well-behaved, could be trusted off-leash, and had a calm, gentle nature that helped other dogs feel safe and comfortable, whether around new people, pets, or environments. That experience gave me strong instincts when it comes to training, reading behavior, and helping dogs adjust. Recently, I lost him to cancer, which has been incredibly hard. But caring for other people’s pets has brought me a lot of comfort and joy, and I treat every dog I watch with the same love and attention I gave my own. With me, your pet will be in a safe, calm, and loving environment, with someone who truly understands dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to senior companions. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I work Monday through Thursday and live just 5 minutes from home. For boarding, this allows me to stop by easily for potty breaks and check-ins throughout the day. For house sitting, my schedule may vary slightly depending on your location, but I’m always available for walks and care in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening. Because I have three-day weekends every week, I’m able to offer even more time, attention, and flexibility—whether your dog loves staying active with walks and playtime or prefers a slower, more relaxed pace with plenty of cuddles. In my home, pets have a safe, calm environment with plenty of love, toys, and treats (with your approval, of course!). While I don’t have a fenced yard, I have lots of green space right outside my front and back doors for easy potty breaks and fresh air. Walks, playtime, and supervision are always a priority. If your dog enjoys being social, I’m happy to introduce them to friendly neighborhood dogs or take them to a local dog park—but only if that’s something you’re comfortable with. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to stick closely to their normal routine to keep them happy and stress-free. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions you provide. I treat your home with respect and your pet like family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Sydney watched Miso while we went away for a 6 day vacation. She took very good care of him and gave us great updates while we were away. She gave us a lot of peace of mind while Miso was alone. She is great at trying to get him to interact (he’s a little shy) and she went above and beyond and cleaned up a mess when Miso knocked his feeder over.

Andrea came in last minute with short notice and took care of my pup when my family member couldnt make it! She was awesome with my pup and took great care of him in my stead. Definitely super appreciative and grateful that she was available and flexible with the schedule. Overall I was pleased with her response time and how she was understanding of my situation and concerns; she definitely lifted a weight off my shoulders and it definitely sl showcased her love for animals. Until next time Andrea, take care!(:

I had a great experience with Michelle! Having never used Rover before I wasn’t totally sure what to expect, but I feel lucky to have had her for my introduction to the app. Michelle was on time, easy to contact, and took a ton of cute photos of my kitty, which were so fun to receive while I was out of town. I would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone! 😊

About: I have always been great with animals ever since I was a kid. My family always calls me the ‘animal whisperer’. I have been pet sitting for many family members and friends for multiple years. I have experience with small dogs, large dogs, nervous dogs, energetic dogs, etc. I also have experience with cats, bunnies, and hamsters. I have gotten nothing but positive reviews from owners and I would love to take care of your furry friend! Because of my summer break I am available pretty much every day! Aside from a few vacations I am free both weekends and week days! Ensuring your pets safety and comfort is always my top priority. When I do drop in visits I will always make sure that there is nothing around the house that your pet could get into and get hurt.

Val did an amazing job looking after my cats. She is so caring, kind, friendly, and went above and beyond to monitor and help one of my cats when he got himself into trouble and ate part of his toy when I was gone. She is such a wonderful sitter and am happy to know my cats will be in good hands when I leave for vacation in the future. Thanks Val!
