Laura was fantastic as usual with our cat Axel. It was the holidays so it was a bit frenetic as I traveled abroad, but the videos and check ins for my elder cat aided my anxiety. For an overnight sitter, Laura is the best :)

Angelly is a stellar pet/home sitter. She was willing to meet us and our pups prior to our booking, and knew we wanted to work with her when the dogs took a liking to her quickly. Communication was smooth and easy with "updates" and pictures. I would highly recommend her!

About: What sets me apart is my extensive experience caring for a wide variety of pets, from large and small dogs to exotic cats, as well as managing unique and high-security home environments for diverse individuals. I’ve cared for animals with a range of needs, from basic care to more complex requirements, ensuring they receive the personalized attention they deserve. My flexibility, reliability, and ability to adapt to any situation make me a trusted choice for both pet and house sitting. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home, allowing me to provide constant attention and care. My flexible schedule ensures I can accommodate feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs throughout the day. Being married and without children, I can fully dedicate my time and energy to making sure your pets feel loved and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, administering any medications, and providing plenty of affection and attention. I also keep the home tidy, respecting your space as if it were my own, and can manage additional tasks like watering plants or collecting mail. My goal is to provide reliable, stress-free care so both you and your pets feel at ease.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. I’ve had a dog of my own until recently I dog sit for my parents when they go on vacation a couple times a year. I also am currently puppy sitting/training a couple days a week until June 2025. I’m the oldest of 4 so I was always the one who was responsible for walking, feeding and everything else dog related which in turn is what made me Love dogs. I love them more than people. I am not working so I am fully dedicated to your fur babies to play, take walks, go to the park we will even make treats together. I have a fully fenced in yard for monitored potty breaks and sun stretching time. I have a water station in the back room for the dogs use anytime, we will come up with a feed schedule together. I can crate your dog if you prefer if that’s what they are used to but not mandatory as I allow dogs on hooman spaces. They will have their own bed/toy area for comfort.

About: I care about animals and I’m focused more about the animals than the money and I want to make sure the customer is satisfied and happy. I get to take care of them the days I don’t go to school and I’m not forced to work hours that are inconvenient for me. I will play with pets and give them a lot of attention as well as follow any specific rules my clients will have and will treat their dogs like they want me to treat them and keep them safe.

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child and been the one to care and mantain them. I’ve trained 2 puppies who were potty trained and knew commands. I’ve administered flea medicine. I am currently doing GrubHub and I would create my schedule around my rover schedule so I could be home as much as possible. I would prefer when not boarding at my home, to be doing Rover related activities during the day and GrubHub at night. While doing GrubHub I would be able to make stops to take pets on walks or to potty or to just say hi! I have an extremely large backyard and I also go on daily runs and house members who love animals with lots of love to give! I’m currently just doing Grub Hub and I make my own schedule and could base it around my Rover Schedule no problem, although I do require working Grub Hub from 5-11 Friday’s and Saturday’s but would still be able to drop ins! I have a huge unfenced in yard so a tether would be required but would have lots of room to run! Daily runs and lots of love!!

Shelby is a loving and caring pet owner. My partner and I have had her stay with our two cats on weekends we are out of town. She is great about providing updates and ensuring that our pets are getting the love and attention they need. I would recommend her to any pet parent who is looking for someone who will care for their fur babies as if they were her own.
