“Sherry is wonderful. She has a lot of patience and gave our two cats the time and space they needed to adjust to her taking care of them while we were at our wedding. We did not worry at all about them while we were away.”
“Kylie was professional, friendly and did everything to make sure my 90lb pitbull was taken care of. She looked after him for a few days and stayed in touch with me the whole time. If you need someone who is a lover of all animals and professional: book Kylie.”
“I highly recommend Samantha for all of your dog walking needs! My dog Max ADORES her and she does a wonderful job with him. Multiple walks per visit and she always leaves detailed notes and pictures in her rover cards which I appreciate!”
“Nikki was a top notch last min find for me and my boys…she was quick to respond, and eased my anxiety by meeting me and my pups before my drop in to ensure everyone was comfortable with each other. My anxious dog was very quick to warm up to her which proves to me she has a special way with 4 legged friends. She was attentive and gave lots of snuggles to my little buddies. Would def use her again”
“Brynn was great!! This was our second time having her take care of our pug and she was amazing! She was very responsive and updated me throughout her visit. She brought him a toy (with my permission) and sent pictures of her visit. She’s truly the best!! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Madison provided awesome service all week! Followed instructions on caring for Kobe and always left super detailed reports after visits, that way I knew my pup was in safe hands!! He had a blast all week!”

We loved getting Rover cards from her visits with lots of notes about our pets were doing and lots of photos (honestly one of them is my phone Home Screen right now because it is so precious)!”
About: I have owned and cared for animals my entire life! From dogs to cats to horses, I have both domestic and farm animal experience! I currently own a 1 year old poodle rescue, and have in-depth experience from puppies and seniors, as well as with kittens and cats! My previous precious pet was a beautiful 15 year old standard poodle and we had the best times together :) I currently work full-time from home as a Registered Nurse (RN), so I am available all days of the week, both days and nights, for drop in visits to take the best care of your furry loved ones! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I provide a calm, loving home where your pet is treated like family. You can trust they’ll be safe, well-cared for, and showered with attention while you’re away!
“Great availability and very nice to my dog!”
“Melanie has been a lifesaver! She loves our 2 pups like her own. She is so dependable and great with communication. Would highly recommend her!”
“Kelly was punctual and communicated well before and after the visit. She is pleasant to work with and most importantly, my dogs really seem to like her!”
“Giselle was great checking on our cats while we were away. She sent daily updates including video clips spending time, petting, brushing and interacting with our two kitties. I believe spending a half hour a day. We returned home to everything tidy and a fresh litter box. We very much appreciate it as we miss our guys when away and glad they got some special attention. Thank you!”
“Anna is absolutely incredible!!! Can’t rave about her enough. We went on a cruise, had no service or contact, and she made me feel so comfortable and provided the peace of mind we needed for our newly adopted kitty. 10/10 highly recommended!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs a few years ago. However, I love animals and would be a great pet sitter. I’ve worked at a doggy spa cleaning after dogs and sitting them. Unfortunately, I don’t have a fenced yard. However, I will keep the pet inside or in the yard of course always keeping an eye on them. Making sure they don’t cross over to neighbors yard. Due to COVID, I have been working from home. Unfortunately I would have to go back to the office. However I’m available for boarding on the weekends and on some holidays. I just ask pet owners to shoot me a text and I can confirm if available. Unfortunately, I don’t have a fenced yard. However, I will keep the pet inside or in the yard of course always keeping an eye on them. Making sure they don’t cross over to neighbors yard.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my pup received by Jennifer and Michelle! I was updated during every visit which made me feel so at ease leaving my puppy for the night. Highly recommend!”
“Amber was great! She updated me on my 2 cats while I was out of town and they were perfectly taken care of. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: In the past, my Aunt had 2 dogs that I absolutely loved taking care of. I would willingly bathe them, play with them, walk them, and even pick up their poop sometimes! I also really enjoyed practicing some training techniques that I was able to help her implement. Getting to know your dog and you are my top priority-your interactions can tell me everything I need to know! I have recently graduated High School, and am looking for a part time job that I love, and that is flexible so that I can continue moving forward starting my college career I find that caring for a pet in a familiar environment is extremely beneficial to your pets-it causes them less stress, and gives you peace of mind! It gives me the ability to keep them following their normal routines within their normal space, and still making sure that they are happy and safe.
About: Hi! I love dogs and treat them as if they were my children. I grew up with dogs in the household. From having a husky, shih-tzu, and now 2 havanese! I have 17 years of experience and I dogsit my family's pets frequently. I work mostly from home allowing me to have as flexible schedule. I take out my own dogs multiple times throughout the day for potty. I can do daily walks as I try to take my own out as much as possible. I have two friendly dogs- one is very playful and loves meeting other furbabies. I live in a townhouse where there's space to take out the dogs in the yard. Your dog will be in great hands! I work mostly from home, so I have a flexible schedule. This allows me to walk the dogs throughout the day and keep an eye on them. I have two friendly dogs, one loves to play! I can crate if desired. I also have 2 levels in my home where I can separate them if needed.
About: I worked at a doggy daycare so I’m reasonably confident in my ability to handle dogs of varying breeds and temperments and ages! I’m also not a person who’s scared around dogs, just cautious. I work part time sunday monday and tuesday at Fedex so wednesday thursday and friday would fill out the rest of my week hanging out with pets! I love playing with dogs and giving them the attention needed. I can feed them, I’m capable of following instructions, including medical instructions. I don’t have any experience poking pets with needles for medicine, but I can do pills and topical sprays and other things like that!

Lailah C.
“Having the pleasure of being able to hang out with Lailah, she’s proven to me through her kind, diverse, accepting, and supportive, demeanors that being such a person while having their own struggles doesn’t have to feel like homework. I personally have grown by meeting Lailah, through her actions and words of advice I’ve grown as a person myself. With her recent successes that I’ve had the pleasures of being there for, like her award for awareness for her powerfully written article in societal issues translated into the student body and advocacy of wrong, growing, social norms for those who were oppressed by them; I feel that she is a no brainer. Speaking OF brains, with her explanations and brightness in knowledge of caretaking of her own beautiful cat (Cleo short for Cleopatra) and her seemingly endless amount and variety of plants, she’s taught me specifics and and general understandings, skills, techniques, etc on how to care for my own companions. My cat and I are more closer than ever. She undoubtedly an exponential mental experience and understanding in caring for animals through her own companions she used to have, animal and plant wise, and the one’s she has now, Cleo and plants. I’m remembering that she pet a bee once, in-front of me.. while I was freaking out about it.. while she was telling me how it’s okay to do so when you’re just not being a bad person to it. Excuse my probably Non-brief-ness about this! ButI really believe that Lailah is undoubtedly a responsible and loving pet caregiver and people person.”

“Araceli has two dogs and I've seen how she cares for them as if they were her own children. She is a huge dog-lover and I would recommend her to anyone 100%!!!”
