“Jenny is brilliant! She's super patient with the pets and is very flexible and accommodating. I've used her on multiple occasions and she is my go to for cat sitting. Highly recommend!”


“Joseph was phenomenal. We had not used Rover before, and he was able to make our first time so simple and easy. His daily updates for our two kitties were thorough, and made sure to check that everything was being done as we expected, or if there were any changes we wanted. We absolutely plan to continue using Joseph as our cat sitter going forward, and would recommend him to anyone!”


About: I’m from Louisiana and I’ve always been exposed to animals. My grandfather owned a cattle farm and I helped to take care of all the animals. I also volunteered at a veterinary clinic throughout high school. Current dog/cat and human mom ❤️ I’m currently working part time as a women’s health physical therapist. Rover works for me because I love animals and it helps me make some extra money on the side I have a fenced in yard with a 7 year old German shepherd mix and an 11 year old friendly cat in the home. My daughters are also animal lovers so your furry friends will have plenty of attention!

About: Since I was a child, I’ve had a strong passion and deep connection with animals. It all started with my first stuffed animal and hours spent watching wildlife documentaries. That passion grew into helping family, friends, and neighbors with daily walks, playtime, and grooming. My favorite part? Cuddle sessions and seeing them get a new trick! After years of begging, my parents finally got me a dog, which quickly turned into two more dogs and a cat! From my own pets to those I’ve cared for, I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a senior dog who needs extra love and patience, I’ve loved them all. I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your pet, and I’ll always treat them like my own. Whether they need a fun walk, a belly rub, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved! I am in medical school and would love to have some pet therapy in between my stressful schedule. My perfect time is in the afternoon or evening. If you’re close by, I’m excited to meet your furry friend! Whatever your pet needs I can accommodate! Every pet is different and have unique requirements so as long as you let me know I can make it happen!

“Bianca is always a pleasure to work with, my Nipsey loves her. There were some occasions when I needed her last minute and she’s been available to us. That is much appreciated. Thank you so much Bianca for caring for Nipsey he loves you.”


About: With over two years of pet care experience, I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet like family. I pay close attention to little details, like their favorite toys, preferred walking spots, treat times, and how they like to be greeted. Whether it’s belly rubs or playtime, your pet’s comfort and happiness always come first Currently, I’m getting online early morning training in my new skills, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pet. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening playtime, I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I follow their routines, respect house rules, and pay attention to small details like locked gates and secure leashes. I create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and happy

“Nechema is wonderful! Communicative, caring, and punctual. She always does great whenever we need her to check on our cats while we are away. Even the cats that usually are scared of new people are quicker to warm up to her.”


About: I've been taking care of dogs since i received my fur baby 13 years ago. I have experience sitting, feeling, walking, playing and treating all pooches like my own. I currently work full-time; however I have remote days (twice a week) and weekends I'm fre. I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pups. I have loads of energy to keep pets occupied and safety is my number one priority. I am attentive and observant. I can crate your pup if needed or bring Gates to ensure your pup is always safe.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 13 years, offering my services to neighbors and relatives during their 15-day vacations. I would take care of their pets by walking them to the park and ensuring they had plenty of playtime. I treat every animal with the same dedication and love as if they were my own. I traveled here to complete my studies at college and pursue a better life. I integrate pet care into my daily and weekly schedule by planning regular walks, structured play sessions, and timely feedings. Each pet receives individual attention based on their specific needs, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I also set aside time for basic grooming, training reinforcement, and health checks, which helps me maintain a consistent routine while prioritizing every pet’s well-being. In my home, I create a pet-friendly space with dedicated areas for feeding, resting, and playing, ensuring each pet follows a consistent routine of walks, playtime, and grooming. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strictly adhere to their established routines and follow all specific instructions regarding diet, medication, and exercise, while keeping the environment safe and providing regular updates to owners.

About: I was a soldier in my country, I took my dog training course and worked with many breeds. I really like sharing my time with pets and I will take care of them as if they were my own. I work part-time and I want to share my free time with pets and take care of them as if they were my own and pamper them so that they feel good with me until they return home. I have an empty backyard which I could use for the care and much more of your pets with the greatest security and more confidence

She was incredibly sweet and was available at the last minute when I needed her, which was a lifesaver!!! I can tell she genuinely cares about animals. I will be hiring her again in the future <3!”


About: I have had dogs since I was 8 and have babysat dogs for the past 5 years. My mom and I have a tendency to rescue lost dogs and help reunite them with their families. The last dog to join our family was an elderly dog we named Lucky. He was unwell, blind, and malnourished when I found him but he is now doing well and we are lucky to have him. I work the graveyard shift, so I’m available anytime between 8am to 8pm. I can also work nights if needed, I just need advance notice so I can switch my schedule around for that week. I would like to keep the routine that the pet is already used to and that the pet owner would be comfortable with. So if the pet eats at specific times a day, I’d like to maintain that same routine. And if the pet isn’t used to outside walks, I would ask the owner if they would be comfortable if I took their dog on a walk around the block, at a park, or staying within their property.

About: I have been a huge dog lover ever since I can remember. As a 7 year old little girl I used to run downstairs to play, pet and show love to any dog I heard barking outside. When I got to High School I finally convinced my parents to allow me to bring a puppy home (German Shepard) and I completely dedicated my entire life to my dog, Kyser. My journey started with Kyser, who was my loyal companion for 16 unforgettable years until it was time to let him rest. My life literally revolved around Kyser despite the fact that I was only in high school. My social life came to a halt and anywhere I went, Kyser was by my side. I was so heartbroken when it was time to allow him to rest that my sister immediately got me my current dog, Duke, and as you can imagine, my life currently revolves around my baby, Dukey. Prime examples of my life revolving around my dog are, I literally only bought a house just so that I can provide my dog a safe and consistent space to reside in and remain in a safe, healthy and consistent environment at all times. Then I proceeded to purchase an SUV where my dog/dogs can travel with me comfortably on all road trips. The only time I leave my house now is to work because my only desire is to spent quality time with my dog either at home or at the park because my dog/s are what bring me the most peace in this life. My passion for dogs led me to work as a veterinary technician at an animal hospital for 5 years, where I had the privilege of caring for animals and learning even more about them. A few things set me apart from other sitters. With 5 years as a veterinary technician, I have hands-on experience with pet health, administering medications, handling emergencies, and recognizing signs of illness. This background is especially helpful for senior pets or those with medical needs. Another thing that sets me apart from other sitters are my training skills. I can reinforce basic commands, work on house-training, and use positive reinforcement techniques to support good behavior. Personalized care : I understand that every pet is unique. I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks to provide customized care that keeps them comfortable and happy. Experience with All Ages : from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a slower pace, I have the patience and adaptability to cater to pets at every life stage. My experience with Kyser and Duke have given me personal insight into caring for aging dogs, which can be an emotional and delicate process. Communication and Trust : I believe in keeping pet owners in the loop with regular updates, photos, and videos, so they feel confident and at ease while away. Passion and Peace : Dogs are not just animals to me - they are family to me. Caring for them isn't a job but a joy, and I treat every pet with the same love and attention I gave to Duke. Duke was my entire world but unfortunately had to let him rest in peace with some dignity as well just a couple of months ago. Now, nothing would give me more pleasure than to show your pup nothing but LOTS OF LOVE and a great day full of activities and fun. I currently am a Physical Education and Health Teacher therefore I am available during the week after 2:30pm. I am available all weekend at any time of the day or night. However, considering I only work 5 minutes from home I will be able to incorporate these daily and weekly routines as I have a lot of preps, lunch and downtime as a teacher. DAILY ROUTINE: Morning - Start the day with feeding, a walk (playtime), and any necessary medications. Midday - During my prep/lunch (2 hours) - I will provide bathroom breaks, a short walk or a play session in the yard. Afternoon/Evening - Another feeding, longer walk and more engaged playtime in the yard, followed by some winding-down time. Night - I will ensure pets are settled, comfortable, and safe for a good night's sleep. WEEKLY ROUTINE: Exercise Variety - I will include new games, toys, or walking routes t keep things fresh. Grooming Needs - I will brush their coat, clean their ears, or handle any specific grooming requirements. Training & Enrichment - I will dedicate time to reinforce good behavior or introduce new challenges. IN MY HOME : I have a fenced in yard and front lawn to keep your fur baby safe at all times. I will keep them active and engaged in the yard as we play catch and enjoy the fun in the sun. Preparation - I will Pet-proof the space, remove hazards, and set up a comfortable area with bedding, toys and water. Routine - I will stick to their feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules to reduce stress. Supervision - I will keep an eye on them, especially during the first few days as they adjust. Safe Spaces - I will provide quiet spots for rest, especially for pets who may feel overwhelmed. Enrichment - I will engage in play, training, and mental stimulation tailored to their needs. IN THE CLIENT'S HOME: Respect Their Space - I will follow the pet's usual routine closely and maintain house rules. Familiar Comforts - I will use the pet's own bedding, toys and food to minimize changes. Security - I will ensure the home is secure and always follow the client's guidelines for locking doors and setting alarms. Communication - I will send updates, photos or videos to the pet owner for peace of mind. Cleanliness - I will keep the space tidy, clean up after the pet and leave home as I found it. I will provide water inside the house and in the yard during play time. We will have time to cuddle and bond while we recuperate for our next activity in the yard.
