Kayla was wonderful with our 3 pugs. It was obvious from our meet and greet that she is great with animals. Our babies took to her immediately. While we were gone, she sent pictures regularly, which is so important to us when we are away from them. We returned to a clean house and yard and to fur babies that were excited to see us but were not anxious or stressed at all, which means they got plenty of attention while we were away. We've already booked with her again and would 100% recommend her to others.

Kelly was amazing! She was very professional, great to work with and was so good to our animals. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous at first, but then we met Kelly and our worries disappeared. Kelly exceeded our expectations, we will definitely use her any time we need a pet sitter (as long as she’s available)!

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs in my life since I was born. I was practically raised by two lovely German Shepherds and have only fostered a deeper love of animals the older I've gotten. I have housesat for relatives and taken care of their dogs in their absence. I have experience with taking care of young pups/kittens and currently take care of my precious elderly chihuahua, Ellie. I also have some experience taking care of reptiles, such as turtles and bearded dragons. I'm free almost any given time so long as I'm given a day or so of communication. Happy to work with yours and your pets' schedules! I take great care to watch for an animals body language and react accordingly. I can crate most dogs so long as they're trained for it. I'm also available to message for updates 24/7 if you want updates on how your fur babies are doing.

About: Hi, I’m Moriah — a massage therapist and lifelong dog lover who believes balance and care are just as important for animals as they are for people. I bring a nurturing, grounded presence to every walk, blending reliability with genuine compassion. Whether your dog needs playful energy or peaceful comfort, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way. As I grow my solo massage practice, I have mornings open before my afternoon and evening sessions as well as sunday and Mondays off— the perfect time to give your fur babies the love, attention, and walks they deserve. I want to provide the level of care that best fits the overall needs of your fur baby. My goal is to uphold the routines, training, and structure you’ve already put in place so that everything feels natural and consistent for both you and your dog. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I aim to make their time with me a seamless and comforting extension of home.

About: I’ve always had a natural love for animals — growing up, there was never a time I didn’t have a furry friend by my side. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of pets, from playful puppies to sweet senior cats. My experience working in an animal shelter taught me so much about animal behavior, health, and the importance of gentle, patient care. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, or daily check-ins, I treat every pet I care for like my own. I have a cat of my own who’s been with me for 8 wonderful years, so I understand how much pets mean to their families. My flexible schedule allows me to care for my sweet boy and other fur-babies as well. I have a spacious house with plenty of room to play and a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time. My kids absolutely love animals and are gentle and respectful with every pet they meet.

Mindy was a wonderful housesitter for our 2 herding dogs and 2 kittens. The dogs took to her right away and she got them out for a hike which they LOVED, and the kittens adored her! Mindy was great about sending lots of updates and photos, and left our house neat and tidy. Overall a great experience and we’ll definitely book with Mindy again!
