Brin did a really great job taking care of my extended family while I was away. Ash and Cheetah seemed to really enjoy her company and she sent lots of photos. She even got a few of the Cheetah! A cat who typically remains hidden from people he doesn't know! I really appreciated the care she showed my two little guys and I highly recommend using her has your sitter.

About: I have cared for a variety of pets, and will do my best to make them comfortable while you are away! I have cared for all ages. I would love to care for your animal! I am available for walks various times throughout the day, depending on the week. Weekends are great, especially if you don’t expect me to be with them all day! I am flexible with my schedule, if it shows I have a booking, it may not be one where I have to be there all the time; In which case I would happy to help you out as well! Always ask if you don’t like the price, or if I’m already booked. I may be reserving my time in case something personal comes up :) Safety is my number one priority, for everyone involved! At the end of the day, I am here to earn a little money while hanging out with pets, and letting owners gain some peace of mind while theyre away; not to rip you off or anything like that. Let me help you by letting me know what works best for you! When I pet sit, I like to give the pet a variety of stimulation. Playing with toys can be fun, followed by physical stimulation (pets!), and walks or play dates with other pets if allowed! Of course if they are on a schedule that’s different! If overnight sitting, I prefer to sleep with the pet, when allowed, but I understand if thats not feasible or I might not spend the night. I like pets in pens as little as possible, but sometimes its unavoidable. When walking, I prefer at least 20 minute walks, with my ideal walk being 45 to 90 minutes. I like to bring dog bags with me as well as a rubber water bowl and maybe some toys if theres a park nearby. If you just want me to hang with your pet for a bit, I would love to! I love to hang out with pets - at parties that usually where you’re going to find me, but their safety and comfort is important to me, so if we can match, I’d be happy to spend time with them!

Bonnie was great, and Athena seemed to love her! She was really responsible, on time for all of our drop ins, sent great pictures and descriptive updates. I fully trusted her in my home when I was gone, and I had no doubts she would take excellent care of my dog. I'll definitely use Bonnie again next time I'm out of town.

I can’t say enough about how great this experience was. Rachel is such a wonderful dog care person! I was nervous using rover for the first time but Rachel promptly set up a meet and greet and tolerated me flooding her with care instructions for our beloved Herbie! She showed up early for each visit and spent extra time with Herbie after, going above and beyond, and communicating how well things were going with lots of pictures. I will definitely try to book Rachel if we need a sitter. Outstanding!

Leah is an exceptional sitter. She visited Tucker every single day as promised and always sent a photo, which became the little heartbeat of my trip. Her care, consistency, and kindness let me enjoy my time away knowing my fur baby was safe, happy, and in gentle hands. I felt completely at ease, and that peace of mind is priceless. I recommend Leah without hesitation.

I also have experience with multi-pet households, cats, and other small animals. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and housesitting check-ins (no overnight stays) with flexible scheduling weekdays and weekends.

Services I Offer: Dog Walks: Tailored to your dog’s energy level; calm or adventurous. Drop-In Visits: Feeding, potty breaks, playtime, medication administration, photo updates. Housesitting Check-Ins: Water plants, bring in mail, keep an eye on your home; available for longer visits nearby. Repeat Booking Discounts: Ask me about weekly or recurring visit pricing. I have flexible availability during both weekdays and weekends for dog walks and drop-in visits, making it easy to fit into your regular routine or provide last-minute support when needed. Whether your pet needs a mid-day walk, a quick check-in, or some extra playtime and affection, I’m happy to help. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities.

Megan was such a lifesaver for our pup even with such short notice. She stepped right in, got all the info, and did a great job. Our pup is sometimes shy at first and she handled it so well. Seeing her pictures of my dog so happy really let me enjoy my day away. Highly recommend Megan 🐾

Maggie was wonderful with our cats and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond during the meet-and-greet, genuinely taking the time to get to know each of our cats and their unique needs. It was clear how much she cares, and we’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave them. We can’t wait to book with her again!

Lia and Alexzander were so great with our cat Grace. She normally does not like most people but I have lots of photos of them petting her and brushing her, so she obviously became very comfortable with them. They were awesome to do the things we needed done and faithfully communicated and sent us photos. I would very highly recommend them!

She made all of my worries go away but spending time with them and sending me lovely photos everyday! She was very responsive and even helped clean around the house before I got home. I would highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for someone to take good care of their pets and home! Thank you so much Haley!
