“I am so thankful to have found Josephine. My boy is older, has daily medication schedules, and accidents at times. She gave him such kind and fun attention, he was so happy to see her each day. She went above and beyond with cleaning up after him and even watering our garden! We are so grateful and beyond pleased!”

“Just want to update my last review: I have been booking with Ryan repeatedly since July 2018, and have been extremely happy with him. He is great with my dog, who adores Ryan, and loves to go on walks with him. As a repeat client, I think Ryan really tries to accommodate my last-minute requests. Very pleased overall!!”

“Whitney is the BEST! She is so flexible with our dog Ru and always takes the best care of him. She is sure to include lots of photos and gives lots of treats. She even takes the time to brush him! We are so appreciative of Whitney!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Lyndi! It was super last minute that i reached out to her and she happily accepted the booking. She took amazing care of my two cats while I was away, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care. She kept me updated with photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. When I returned, my cats were happy, well-fed, and my home was just as I left it. I highly recommend Lyndi to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter!”

About: I have had pets my entire life and currently have 3 cats who are my absolute loves! I have experience with all sizes of animals and feel most comfortable with smaller breeds but may accept larger breeds based on each situation! I have cared for senior pets, blind pets, shy/timid pets, play pets… pretty much any you can think of! I am an over the top pet mom myself and will treat your little one(s) as if they were my own. Visits from me include things such as enrichment time, treats (if approved by you), adorable photos, and a “headcount” before opening and closing any doors to make sure no sneaky pets make their way out the door like my black cat likes to do! Please reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or requests… i can’t wait to hear from you! :) I currently am a stay at home mom so my schedule is quite flexible! I can be both an early bird and a night owl so I can pretty much work with any time! :) I am an above and beyond, over the top pet mom and will treat your pet just as well as I treat my own! I am all about safety and security when pet owners are away so I like to triple check doors before I leave, fill water bowls with clean water, make sure the pets have all of their needs met, etc. i know I get anxious being away from my babies so I will always keep you updated and informed with messages and plenty of pictures!

About: I’ve always had pets of my own and love to give them the best care of their needs, whether it’s love & affection to mental or physical stimulation, I’m ready to enjoy the day with them, Your pup will have so much fun with my dog (Oreo) & I. We hike daily and if your pup is active, they are more than welcome to join us on any hikes that we do! Or if they just like simple short walks that’s great too! I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible, as long as I know ahead of time, we can work out a schedule that works out! I have a fenced in yard for bathroom breaks or for play time. If your dog is crate trained during the night and you wish to continue, I have medium size crate but you are welcome to drop off their own crate with them, if they like to rest in their own crate, otherwise they are free to roam around the house and rest anywhere! Does your dog have any allergies to food/other things? or is reactive with another dog, or around food? • please let me know in advance so I can take precautions. I love updates of what my pup is doing throughout the day, when I’m not with her, so if you love getting updates of pictures of your pup throughout the day or at the end of the day just let me know!

About: As a professional hypnotherapist specializing in emotional trauma, I bring a calm, empathetic presence to pet care. Combined with my nannying background and experience raising three dogs from puppy (2 Bullterriers & 1 Staffordshire mix) and currently caring for my recently adopted 1.5 year old female doberman, I create a balanced environment perfect for soothing anxious pets, and caring for dogs of all ages I am currently building my business and have plenty of flexible home office time, so there is lots of time and opportunity to go for walks and play time. Our home is roomy & secure and I can fit a small to medium crate if needed. We have lots of walkways and I love to go take dog for beach walks or easy hikes when I can

“Jada watched my cats for a couple of days. One of them can be shy but they both warmed right up to her. She did a great job and I plan on using her again.”

“Lauren was amazing! We had never used Rover previously but had an emergency that took us out of town. Our flight home kept getting delayed and we needed someone last minute to spend time with our pup before we got home. Lauren responded immediately, updated us on how our Kobi was doing, and put our already anxious minds at ease. We are so grateful for her help and will definitely book her again!”

“Daniel is fantastic! Although he is new to Rover, he clearly has a lot of experience with pet-sitting. He took wonderful care of our senior dog and cats. Daniel expertly used all of the features of the Rover website, to include logging check-in and check-out times, GPS tracking for walks, and report cards with photos for every visit. I have never had a sitter this thorough before. Speaking of photos, he took some great quality shots of our pets. I hope Daniel is available to sit for our next vacation, because I plan to be a repeat customer.”

About: I have owned and cared for 4 dogs (1 lab, 2 beagles, 1 mutt), and 5 cats (3 orange tabby cats, 1 longhair black cat, 1 calico) in my lifetime, and I always play with the pet at the party. My favorite dog is the beagle and my favorite cat is orange but I love them all. I am available nearly every day and most evenings. I know how to quickly win over a pet with genuine display of empathy and affection. Knowing the spot to scratch also helps. I have very long legs and walk miles daily, so I can outwalk most dogs and keep up with them as they chase birds and mongoose. If they are not yet tired from the walk, I love playing tug-of-war afterwards. My life goal is to own a large yard, 2 dogs and 2 cats, and I am working towards that goal every day. I am currently working part-time as a theatre teacher. My teaching hours are 9-3 on Tuesdays and 11-3 on Thursdays/Fridays. I do theatre and improv most weekends in the evenings. Otherwise I am very available! I only use leashes that are secure. I keep a tight grip on a leash and wrap it around my fist to be safe. I am good about checking and securing gates.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, helping family and friends whenever they traveled or had busy schedules. Whether it was just for the day or a few weeks, I’ve always loved making sure their pups felt safe, happy, and well cared for. A couple of years ago, I had the incredibly rewarding experience of fostering a rescue dog here on the island—and that’s when I decided to take my passion for pet care more seriously. When my neighbor had to move away, I stepped in to care for her pup and eventually found her a loving forever home. Caring for dogs is something I genuinely love and take pride in. I have a very flexible schedule this summer while I’m on break from school, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with your pup! I'm available for frequent check-ins, walks, and extended stays to make sure your dog is well cared for. While I’m currently exploring a part-time job on the side, pet care is a top priority, and I remain very open and committed to my availability. I live up in the valleys with plenty of other furry friend owners! It is a calm area with a super friendly community! I also have a little yard they can use for quick potty breaks.

“Samantha was super reliable and attentive when doing drop in visits for our pup and kitty cat while we were out long days. She sent the best pics and gave the report card. Made us feel our pets were well taken care of. Thanks Samantha!”

About: I’ve been caring for other people’s pets for about five years now, but animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up helping my mom on her ranch, so being around animals—big and small—has always felt natural to me. Over the years, I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs and cats, each with their own personality and needs. Some want to play nonstop, others just want their space. I’ve given meds, gone on long walks, sat quietly with anxious pets, and everything in between. I try to meet each animal where they’re at and just be a calm, caring presence while their people are away. What sets me apart is that I don’t see this work as just checking off tasks. I really care about making sure animals feel safe and seen in their own way. Right now I’m working part-time, so I have a pretty open and flexible schedule throughout the week. My shifts are never longer than 6 hours, which leaves me plenty of time for walks, playtime, and quality care. I’m generally available most weekdays, with exact times depending on my work schedule that day. I like to keep communication open so we can plan ahead and make sure your pet gets the attention they need. I do take Sundays off, but otherwise I’m happy to work with your schedule! I only offer pet care through pick up or in clients’ homes, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m always super respectful of the space and make sure to leave everything just as I found it. I know how important it is to feel confident about who’s in your home and with your pets, so I keep communication open and clear—and I’m never afraid to reach out if I have a question. More than anything though I do genuinely love being a steady, caring presence for animals, making sure they get the exercise, attention, and cuddles they need and deserve.

About: I love taking long walks or runs with dogs who have a little extra energy. Or if they need to relax I’m great at laying on the floor and giving all the pets! I work Monday-Friday. I am free late afternoon and early evenings on the weekday. I’m free on the weekends all day. I can be pretty flexible! I am flexible for what works best for your animals when it’s comes to dog care. I have a car so I will have reliable transportation. Whatever you currently use at your home I will be able to keep the animals on schedule while you’re away!

“Leni was flexible, responsive, and reliable in her care of my cat when I was out of town for a week.”
