I was concerned how they may react with a stranger coming in the home wo my being there and they acted like they knew her forever!! I popped in on pet cam and they were just snuggling into her! Even left a cute note and personalized treats!! Way better than boarding! Kendra will definitely be my go to when I need to leave the pups overnight!”
“Megan went above and beyond taking time during the day to entertain our pets AND us with daily reports and pictures while we were gone. One of our cats has special food requirements and she made sure everyone got the care we needed. We really appreciated her quick replies and her thoroughness made us feel very confident that everyone was in good hands. No complaints!”

“Kendra did a phenomenal job with our fur babies. Our little dog has bad anxiety and is not open to new people. But he warmed up to her right away!!!! Thank you for taking great care of them and giving them loves while we were away.”
About: I’ve taken care of two pups on my own and have supported my friend's and family’s dogs when needed. Both of my pups could be seen going on adventures to find the best treats and best trails for walks. In my care I always give pups the love and attention they are looking for. My pups very much missed me when I was gone. Therefore I understand the discomfort some pups experience when their humans are away. My goal as a pet sitter is to help alleviate distress a pup may experience when their humans are away. I currently have open availability until my partner and I move. I am looking to support pups in any way I can until the move. When bringing any pup into my home I strive to create normalcy for the pup in any way I can. What a pups routine and expectations will be will depend on their humans preference. In my home pups are welcomed to become comfortable anywhere and is allowed to play at any hour. However if their human as certain expectations I can abide by those rules as well.
“Tatiana and Leonardo were so good with my kitties! It's tough to find someone to help with insulin injections, but they came well prepared to handle it. I really liked the photo album at the end of the visits! Thank you guys so much for your help!!”
“Jennifer was absolutely phenomenal! She checked in frequently, sent lots of photos and videos playing, and was so respectful of our space!! Jennifer asked great questions when she had any. She was incredibly reliable and willing to do whatever I needed while I was gone! Highly recommend Jennifer - your four legged friends will thank you!!!”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was a little girl. Love playing and spending some time with them! Would also love helping people out who need it! I only work 3.5 days a week so have a lot of free time available! Would love using my spare time to help out people who need it with the fur babies I have a fenced in back yard, so the dog would able to run around. If I was at the clients home, I would spend time playing with them(leashed if there is no fence).
About: Hello! My name is Morgan, and I'm a dedicated and experienced pet sitter specializing in the care of small to medium sized dogs. Having grown up caring for two of my own Miniature Schnauzers from puppy-hood to their senior years, I have a deep personal understanding of their unique needs, energy levels, and personalities. This hands-on experience extends to a wide range of small breeds, and I'm passionate about providing attentive, knowledgeable care for every furry friend I meet. I currently do not have a part or full time job and am searching. In the mean time, I'm available most weekdays and some weekends to care for your pets! When your pet is in my care, my top priority is their safety, happiness, and your peace of mind. I know how important it is to stay connected, which is why you can expect prompt communication from me. For every drop in visit or walk, I'll send a Rover card update complete with a GPS map of our walk, potty break information, and of course great photos of your pet. For house sitting stays, I provide detailed morning and evening updates so you can relax on your trip knowing your companion is thriving. I'm diligent about following all feeding schedules, medication needs, and any specific household rules you have.
About: I grew up around 3 small dogs and currently have 2 large dogs of my own. Depending what they like to do (go for walks, hang out, play with their toys) I'll do it! They deserve all the attention while you're away! I have a full time (8-5/ M-F) job but can let your dog out before work, lunch, after work and before bed. My job is flexible so you tell me the time(s) that work for you and we will make it work. I will listen to your requests. If I am not comfortable or you're not comfortable after we meet, you are welcome to cancel. I request we meet before booking. I appreciate customers that have cameras but not required. We use Rover when we're away and have cameras, it's reassuring for the home owner and Rover employee. They are inexpensive and a great way to keep an eye on your pets.
“Pam has been great with our two kitties. She was able to get our shy, scared kitty to come out of his shell and interact while we were away. I appreciate the photos and communication during each visit.”
“Amanda was great with our cats! She is so communicative and easy to work with! We were so thankful to have her! It made a huge difference having that peace of mind while on vacation! We could not recommend her more!”
