“We have a cat that needs pills at very specific times and really appreciated that Hallie was always on time and communicated about how the pill went! That level of responsibility and communication helped put me at ease leaving him and let me enjoy my trip for once!”


“Erik is excellant with Laila and there are not many people that Laila would allow to give her a belloy rub. Not ony is it apparent that Erik is great and caring with dogs and all animals alike, Erik also has full command of Laila during her walk, which is important when you have a 70 pound Bulldog.”


About: I grew up with a loved dog and spent countless joyful hours caring for, playing with and training her. In addition to growing up with a dog, I had the pleasure of intermittently watching my neighbors’ dogs for the past four years and each experience has deepened my love for our furry friends. You can trust that your pets will receive abundant love and attention while you’re away. Having navigated my own dog’s seizures, I’m well-equipped to handle any situation and comfortable administering medication if needed. I can clean up after animals in any regard and am comfortable bathing them if necessary. Your pets will be in compassionate and capable hands. Pet care is something I look forward too every day. Each day, I will dedicate specific times for walks, play and feeding, ensuring that your pets’ needs are fully met. While I work a full-time job, I am ready to accommodate my schedule during the week. I’m available for dog walking or dog sitting or cat sitting after 5 PM on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays. On the weekends, I have even more flexibility, allowing for extended playtime and quality moments with your pets. I have no pets at home, creating a calm and comfortable environment for your pets. If it helps them feel more at ease, I can easily section off a room just for your dog or cat. I also have a long leash available, allowing for plenty of fun and exploration in a safe space. My goal is to provide a stress-free atmosphere for your pets. I’m more than happy to come to your home as well, ensuring they remain in a familiar setting that minimizes anxiety.

“I cannot recommend Kelsey enough! This was my first time using Rover and i has the best experience.. i am so happy i found Kelsey! She was very responsive and when I needed her to go meet my dog sort of last minute, as so nice and willing to make it happen. Thank you for taking the best care of Yoda!!”


“Jessica stopped by before our visit to meet our dog and become familiar with our routine, and sent us a nice update after her visit. Our dog immediately loved her and is excited for future meetups!”


About: I am an animal lover. I have had animals my entire life ( cats, dogs, snakes, tarantulas, lizards, fish, turtles, and chinchillas). I understand the responsibility it takes to care for all animals . I am very patient and show compassion to the needs of all animals. I am currently the owner of 3 cats and a dog. I find being around animals very relaxing. I enjoy playing with them and look forward to making a connection with the animal so that it feels safe and joyful. I also have a great understanding to the different temperaments of all animals. I would love for the owner and animal to feel that their in good hands at all times. I will follow all the rules and wishes that the owner feels necessary for their animals to feel safe. I am currently working as a school teacher for 21 years. I am available 3:30pm- 10:00pm on weekdays and on the weekend I am available all weekend. Available majority of the summer as well. I have 2 cats that are house bound. I have an Alaskan Klee Kai that is allowed to be out with supervision. We are not fenced in.

About: My love for animals is truly unmatched. I cared for my husky from middle school until her passing, feeding, walking, and even giving her medicine from injections. I've also done the same for cats. That heads on experience taught me patience, responsibility, and deep compassion. I understand how much pets mean to their families and treat every animal like my own, whether it's a puppy or a senior needing special care. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. Whether it's feeding, walking, or apending time with animals, I truly enjoy every moment. I make sure pets feel safe, loved and well cared for, no matter what my day looks like. My schedule is flexible during the morning, so I'm able to give pets the attention and time they deserve throughout the day and week. In a client’s home, I make sure to keep pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routine whether it’s feeding times, walks, play, or medication. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family. I give lots of love, attention, and gentle care, especially for pets who may be anxious when their owners are away. I always keep communication open with updates and photos so you feel at ease while you're away.

About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals since I was very little. I am a equine major and own 3 dogs and a cat. I am working evenings part time on both weekends and weekdays around my softball schedule. I am looking forward to seeing and meeting all different animals. I am very responsible and trustworthy and care for your pets just as if they were my own. I would never want to put you in a place to have to worry.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have always had a deep love for animals. From playful puppies to older, more laid-back companions, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’m passionate about providing them with the attention, care, and exercise they need to stay happy and healthy. Whether it's taking them on long walks or simply hanging out with them, I’m here to give your pet the best care possible I do work full time, but definitely have the time to take care of your dog or cat. I work from home 3 days a week (Monday, Thursday and Friday) and would be available on weekends with a few days notice. There is plenty of space to play inside and outside. I live in a private home with a fenced yard and one friendly dog at home. I’m fully committed to giving your pet the attention they deserve!

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a kid. Neighbors always relied on me to help care for there pets when they were away. I have trained puppies and am good with seniors. Our pets are a priority and get taken care of first thing in the morning and always on a schedule. If they require special attention, that always comes first. It is imperative that the pets needs come first and stay on a schedule. Pets need to know that they can trust the provider and build a rapport. Pets will always be a priority.

“I’m happy to give a 5-star review for Walfredo! We left our three dogs—Bailey, Ellie, and Lottie—in his care, and he was absolutely wonderful with them. He made sure they were well-fed, played with them, and even joked that he “tired them out”—which is no easy task! Walfredo truly loves animals, and it shows. Our dogs loved him right back. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend!”



“Being new the area we're glad we met Richie. Flexible and accommodating are two words that come to mind. Our "girls" look forward to his afternoon visits and we have piece of mind knowing we can count on him”


About: I have owned and worked with many different types of dogs: Belgian Malinois (my own baby), German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Pitties, and small dogs too. I have worked with them from all age stages and my top priority to make sure they are SAFE and having the most fun. Dogs (& Cats) are precious, I will care for your pet as if it was my own. I am a full time human & DogMama but can work around my schedule and on weekends to do my best to help you out. It’s A LOT harder to find help for the fur babies than human babies and we all deserve some “me time” while feeling like our fur babies are safe and having a good time. I will make sure to follow your instructions to the very best of my abilities. I will send you pictures of your pet while I’m with them, and if anything that may seem out of the ordinary seems to be up, I will let you know. I do not allow dogs to interact with other dogs during our walks. Your pet (just like my own) may love other dogs but I always air on the side of caution and do not want any mishaps happening while you’ve trusted your dog with me. I have experience with harnesses, prong collars, choke collars, and muzzles so whichever your pet does best with I can handle.

About: I’ve always loved animals even the non furry ones. I believe in my abilities to care for them and provided excellent services. Furry family members are just as important as our immediate one’s. I’m a teacher so I’m currently off for the summer. My availability is very flexible so I can work around with whatever times you might need. As long as I have information within a reasonable timeframe I can accommodate. I will make sure your pet always adheres to the boundaries set by their owners. I live in an apartment complex that has a fenced in dog park if need be. It is also a pet friendly area. I also live 5 minutes from a bigger park easily accessible by walking.

About: Animals have always been the biggest part of my life. I've never met an animal who I didn't immediately love, no matter what species or size. I have spent my life learning to understand and communicate with animals to best meet their individual needs. The majority of my experience is in caring for animals with special needs and disabilities. I have an extensive background in animal care, including; veterinary student and technician, former volunteer coordinator & foster with the SPCA, current volunteer large animal caretaker, and much more. I am Pet CPR certified and I always carry a first aid kit, along with allergy friendly treats, a spare leash, and lots of poop bags. My goal is to give you and your pet a positive, stress-free experience that they will look forward to almost as much as they look forward to having you home. I am flexible and will always do everything in my power to accommodate requests made on short notice, emergencies, extended sitting stays, and even some holidays. I also offer the following amenities which can be added onto any existing pet service; light house cleaning, laundry, basic dog grooming, and basic dog training (these services are separate from Rover and do not appear as options, please inquire directly). I am also more than happy to accommodate other pets, and have extensive experience with all species of birds, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, tortoises, turtles, fish, pigs, cows, and horses. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry, feathery, or fluffy family members! 🐾 Animal caretaking is my life, 24/7/365! My schedule reflects my current availability around the other animals I am currently caring for, and my availability is first come, first served. I can make accommodations for emergencies or short notice when needed. Your pet will never be out of sight during visits or stays, and update photos will always be provided as frequently as you'd like during our scheduled time.

“Francesca was such an easy and accommodating sitter! Buddha (70lb American Bully) took to her almost immediately, and seemed to miss her when she left. Francesca is great at handling larger breeds, and I recommend seeking her out for you larger than average bundle of fluff love.”
