About: Hi! I am a lifelong animal lover with decades of experience caring for pets- my own, as well as those of friends and family. To me, pets are family- and I understand just how much they mean to the people who love them. That's why I believe it's so important to have someone you trust, that will care for your pets with the same love & attention that you would. I'm here to be that person . I work from home so this gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care- whether it is walks, feedings, or check-ins. I'm able to adapt to their needs. I do have a fenced in yard; but I like to create a calm, safe space for my animals and I have a routine to ensure consistency. And not to mention, that they get lots of love and attention!


About: My heart doesn’t know any other way-when it comes to animals, I love them instantly and unconditionally. I have 18+ years of experience caring for animals, starting from a very young age. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for both Pitbulls and French Bulldogs but to me, breed doesn’t matter. I truly love all animals, big or small. I’m bilingual and speak both English and Spanish, which helps me connect with a wider range of pet parents and provide clear, open communication. I’ve always been the go-to person for anything pet-related. My family calls me the dog whisperer because I have a natural bond with animals, especially dogs. Whether it’s advice, health concerns, or just being a listening ear, I’m the one family and friends trust with their fur babies. My soul dog was a red nose pitbull named Bricks- he taught me what real love is. Since then, I’ve raised three amazing French Bulldogs: Juicy, Kuma, and Tron. I also had the incredible experience of raising two litters from birth- Juicy had 5 puppies and Kuma had 6. I provided round-the-clock care until they were ready for their forever homes. I still keep in touch with the families- they became part of mine. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I regularly pet-sit for friends, family, and neighbors-dogs and cats alike. One of my most consistent companions is Max, my neighbor’s dog, whom I’ve been caring for for over a year. I give him daily medication and make sure he always feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ve also cared for a bearded dragon, who was part of our family for 11 wonderful years. I’m familiar with reptile needs, feeding, handling, and tank care. I also have experience caring for a cockatiel, including feeding, changing water, and maintaining a calm, happy environment for birds. I’m experienced with: Giving medication Drop-in visits Long walks and playtime Baths and basic grooming Feeding routines and crate care Newborn puppy care and socialization Basic reptile and bird care I truly treat every pet like they’re my own because in my heart, they are. The amount of kisses, cuddles, love, and attention your pet will receive is immense. I go above and beyond to make sure every animal feels safe, comforted, and cared for like family. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. You can trust me to provide more than just care. I offer love, safety, and genuine companionship. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and lots of love throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening snuggles, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Being home full-time means your pet will never feel alone and will always have someone nearby to care for and comfort them. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m visiting yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. At my home, pets have plenty of room to play and relax-I have a large fenced-in yard that's perfect for safe outdoor time and supervised play. If your pet is crate-trained or needs a crate for naps or bedtime, I can easily accommodate that too. I follow each pet’s routine closely-feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care instructions-to make sure they feel at home. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and ensure everything is done exactly how you’d like. I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for. I treat every pet like family and work hard to create a calm, loving, and secure environment, whether they’re with me or in their own home.

“Leah did a fantastic job taking care of my Bailey. Super responsive, accommodating and reliable. She sent me multiple pictures of my furbaby and followed requests with his feeding (as he is a super finicky eater). Leah took care of Bailey as if he was her own and I would not hesitate to use her services again. Thank you!”


About: Passionate about pets since childhood, I've had the joy of growing up alongside two beloved dogs, learning firsthand the ins and outs of responsible pet care and the deep bond that forms between human and animal. Today, as a proud dog owner myself, I bring not only years of personal experience but also a genuine love and dedication to providing the best care possible for furry companions. Additionally, my experience extends beyond just dogs; through house sitting, I've had the privilege of caring for both dogs and cats, ensuring their well-being, happiness, and security while their owners are away. I currently work full time, but I make plenty of room in my schedule for pups—especially on weekends and Tuesdays, when I have the most flexibility. Starting in July, I’ll also be available weekday mornings, which means even more time for walks, cuddles, and playtime! Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some loving company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’m responsible, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I’d love to meet your furry friend! Ensuring a safe and trustworthy environment is my top priority. I adhere strictly to a leash policy, ensuring that no pet leaves the house without proper restraint. In fenced areas, I conduct a thorough yard check before allowing any dogs outside, ensuring there are no potential hazards. Additionally, I double-check all doors to confirm they are securely closed, preventing any pets from wandering out unsupervised. With these measures in place, you can trust that your pets are always safe and secure under my care.

“Melissa was amazing with our 2 cats! They warmed up to her so quickly and she snapped some great photos of them too really capturing their personalities. Great communication and gave us such peace of mind while we were away from our girls for the week. Thank you again Melissa!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 20 years, my own and others. I have compassion for all animals and I want to focus on building trust. I currently work full time but that I am able to stop by before and after work. I do not work weekends so I am able to stop by then as well. I will walk, feed and play with your furry friend. If your pet needs medications administered, I’d be happy to do that for you as well.

About: I have grown up with dogs and have years of experience in caring for them. I have been a volunteer for pet rescues for 5 years . I am experienced with all types or dogs either it be breeds of all ages and temperaments. I am a college student free for the summer to help with any of your dog or pups needs, so I have very open availability. I have a fenced in yard and have three friendly fur babies to keep your pup company if dog sitting is needed, and a crate.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have over ten years of pet sitting experience. I grew up with a house full of pets- cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, gerbils, fish, a frog, and even a turtle and a snake at one point! I’ve always been the one friends and family turn to when they need a reliable sitter. I’ve cared for everything from Newfoundlands to Chihuahuas and Sphinx cats to Bengals. I’m comfortable with all types of personalities and temperaments, and I’m experienced handling larger breeds, including pits and bullies. I love getting to know each pet’s quirks and making sure they feel safe, happy, and at ease. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, some playtime, or overnight company, I’ll treat them like one of my own, with patience, care, and lots of love. I work part-time with flexible hours, so I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including early mornings and late evenings, for walks, playtime, feedings, and overnight stays. I’m happy to take dogs on leashed walks, saunter around the yard for some fresh air, or engage in indoor playtime - whatever best fits their routine and energy level. I’m experienced with feedings, medication (including drops), and potty routines like doggie bags, wee wee pad changes, and litter scooping. I’m also respectful of any house rules and will follow your instructions closely to ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

“If I could give more than 5 stars for Christina I would. Great communicator, committed and very sweet with my Shitzhu Reagan and black kitty Goblin. She sent pictures, and went above and beyond to keep them fed and happy. Highly recommend!! God Bless providers like her in this service.”

About: I grew up with a dog (a Springer spaniel named Curly) and my family is dog obsessed. I regularly watch my sisters dog when she is out of town. I do the same for my parents! I am an entrepreneur with a very flexible schedule. I work from my apartment and have very few meetings, and love to fill my free time with adorable pups! I always respect the owners home and possessions — I’m a quiet guest and mostly read or watch tv when I’m not walking or playing with the dog. The dog is always the number one priority and I adjust my schedule accordingly.

About: Our family dog, Rosie, a beautiful black toy poodle, passed when she was 16 and I was 21. I always took her on walks, fed her, and she slept with me. Ever since Rosie's passing, my family and I aren't ready for another dog, but I miss having one around. When a good friend of mine told me about Rover, I knew I would be the perfect candidate. I'm caring and gentle and every dog I sit will get the proper amount of attention. Dogs are like children, all they need is care and love! I'm currently working with my mom's company, Zoom Rides For Seniors. It a ride share service that focuses on caring for seniors and the disabled. We take seniors to their doctor appointments, the grocery store, wherever their hearts desire. I only do local rides and all of my rides don't take longer than 20 mins and then I come right back home. If I'm not home, Trish will be home since she's the owner and mostly in her office. I don't work after four either. I live in a five bedroom house, plenty of space for your fur baby to roam in. He or she can sleep in their crate in my brother's old room, which is down the hall from me. We do have a massive backyard that goes up on a hill, but we also have a closed deck where the fur baby can freely play and go to the bathroom in. I will probably be going outside on the deck each time as well to watch him or her.

About: Chris is a local firefighter and EMT, and Ellen is a fourth grade teacher. Chris grew up with dogs and cats, while Ellen had cats and got her first dog when she was engaged to Chris. Currently we have a black lab pup named Whitley and two rescued cats, in addition to our two animal-loving human kiddos. Whitley is always looking for playmates! Chris has a rotating work schedule, and depending on your needs is very available certain days and nights. He would love to help you with your pet care needs as long as he is off-duty that day or days. We have a fenced in yard with a lot of space to run around. Inside we have a double crate - Whitley uses one side and the other side is currently available. They would be separated but close to each other. Whitley is generally out of the crate while we are home but can be kept in one gated room if needed. We are willing to adapt to your needs when caring for your pet.

About: I have worked for a doggy daycare/boarding establishment for over a year. I have also been pet sitting for family and friends for almost 3 years. Have experience working with multiple different breeds. I work at a doggy daycare/boarding establishment every weekend. During the week I take care of my own dog when my parents are at work. I like to let the pet get comfortable around me and come up to me whenever they feel ready. Once we have established a trusting relationship I will take them on walks and/or play with them and feed them!

She would FaceTime us so that we can see Bill and makes sure to send us photos too. When we come home, he is calm, happy, and clearly well cared for It means the world to us to know that not only is our dog safe, but he's also loved like family (because he is!) when we're gone.
