About: I’m a certified animal lover with a fur baby of my own (Henry, 9lb of quiet sweetness) that I’ve been caring for over 10 years. I own a wedding photography business that allows me to work from home 90% of my year. If I am booked on a specific day during your booking, I will let you know ahead of time so you can approve or deny the amount of hours I will be gone for that day (which can be anywhere from a 1-hour session to a full 10-hour wedding). I have experience as a dog owner, but have also spent many of my years dog and cat sitting for my friends and family. I raised and trained my parents puppy, a Bichon Frise Shih Tzu mix who needed lots of care to control his barking and playful nature, now 6 years old and so loving. I’m experience with a range of ages and needs, including puppies and elder animals with special care needs. I love dogs, as you can tell, and have all the time in the world to watch and play with them! I prefer dogs and cats have been handled and are used to being cared for, with no history of lashing out or biting. Whether you need me to cuddle, feed, brush, walk, or play with your pup, I'm your gal. Note: while I take a combo of meds for my dander allergy and have a high tolerance, I ask that any animals/homes with animals with high shedding be appropriately groomed and cleaned before sitting. If I stay in your home, a vacuuming or light cleaning does wonders. If your fur baby is boarded in my home, a bath or deshedding session beforehand is much appreciated. I work from home, so pet care can be a day round activity for me. If I am sitting in your home or doing check ins, I can stay or come by as frequently as needed, given availability based on any events or sessions I have previously booked. I will always communicate with pet parents about the needs for their specific fur baby. I understand all needs are unique, so aside from common sense (walks, feedings, playing), I’ll make sure to tailor their care as needed.
About: My schedule’s open and flexible so I can truly meet the needs of each family I work with. Some days could start with an early-morning 🔆🐾 walk to get tails wagging, while others might be filled with midday check-ins, playtime in the yard, and even overnight 🐕💖 snuggles for pets who need extra company. I’m currently available every Saturday evening, with open availability Sunday through Tuesday, giving me plenty of time to dedicate to your pet and their unique routine. On my walks, I could work on leash skills and basic obedience to help your pup feel stay confident and well-mannered. I also have experience caring for high-energy dogs who need extra exercise, as well as special-needs pets who may require a gentler pace and more patience. I’m a strong multitasker, attentive to detail, and always make time for excellent communication—sending daily updates, notes, and pictures so you’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. With First Aid knowledge and Emergency Preparedness, you can trust that your furry loved ones are in safe, capable hands every step of the way. My schedule is open and flexible to fit the needs of pet parents. Whether it’s early-morning 🐶 🐾 walks, midday drop-ins, or overnight care, I can adjust to your pet’s routine. I’m currently available every Saturday evening and have open availability from Sunday through Tuesday. With plenty of time to dedicate, I’ll make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve while working around your schedule.

I use owner-provided leashes for secure walks, monitor interactions closely, and follow all dietary or medical needs with precision—because your pet’s well-being is my top priority. With over 25 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies 🐶 to senior companions. Throughout the years, I’ve shared my life with many wonderful dogs, including Standard Poodles, Shih Tzus, Dobermans, German Shepherds, Cocker Spaniels, Schnauzers, Labradors, and Beagles. I also bring a lifetime of cat care experience, having raised and loved breeds such as Persians, Himalayans, Torties, and American Shorthairs. 🐈⬛

I truly enjoy the dogs and like getting our for fresh air. If I am sitting at your house, I will make sure everything is clean and tidy.
“Melissa was excellent with our old quirky nervous Maltese, who had a very difficult life a while ago. She had a good sense of protecting him, caring for him and giving him space. By the end of the day he was eating out of her hand and playing with her with his favorite toy. We could not have been more pleased.”

I always review a pet's needs with my clients before I begin services, ensuring we cover all the bases and expectations for them before you leave them in my care. I can administer medication and shots and know basic animal first-aid. Respecting schedules and house rules is an important part of my services, as well as being attentive and present to their needs and behavior.

Emely T.
“Emely was incredibly professional, communicative, and kind. I felt totally at ease leaving our elderly lab with her for the week. She stayed at our place while we were gone and was upfront about one wedding shoot she had scheduled during our trip and made sure we were comfortable with the timing (it ended up being in line with Scout's pee schedule, so it wasn't a problem at all). She kept us updated the whole stay which made me feel more comfortable as we're more attached to Scout than he is to us haha! I came home to a clean house, a calm dog, and detailed notes about how everything went. You can tell she truly loves animals and respects your routines. Highly recommend!”
Catherine N.
“Catherine was wonderful in the years she cared for my three dogs. They can really be a handful, but she did an excellent job every time I needed her.

Erin O.
“Erin has been helping out with my inside cat “meatball” and a number of outside stray cats that I feed for a few years now. Meaty is 14 years old and not the most friendly girl but she just loves Erin! A soon as Erin arrives, she runs up to her looking for cuddles and scratches. Erin comes several times a day, makes sure to spend some time with meaty and makes sure all of the outside girls are fed and taken care of! The litter box is always tended to and the house is neat when I come home! She sends pictures of meaty and her antics while I am away. I am never worried about my girl when Erin is in charge. Erin has also helped out several friends of mine, taking care of their dogs. In fact, I met Erin through a recommendation from a friend! I highly recommend Erin. She is great with both dogs and cats! Is reliable and friendly and truly cares about the pets she is caring for.”

Lake Como pet parents share their Rover experiences
Brandon was incredible! Getting a sitter can be nerve-racking, but he is very kind, understanding, and gentle with our silly frenchie puppy. He asked us great questions and took fabulous care of our dog (who has some different needs and care). Will definitely use Brandon again & again for whenever we need a sitter. Thank you Brandon!!!!!
Charlie was so attentive to our two pups during our longer vacation away. We have two senior dogs, one who requires a few different pills and she handled it all excellently. Our house was left perhaps better than we left it with clean dog dishes waiting for us! We got plenty of photo updates and she kept me in the loop when I worried about possible weather impacts when we were away! We would definitely use her services in the future!
Sheryl did a great job with our three large dogs. All young boys and very mischievous. Her love of animals is demonstrated in her care of them. She rarely left them alone. Took them for long walks. She did a good job of keeping them busy and out of trouble. Right before we left, one of the boys got a hotspot on his chest. Sheryl was awesome at making sure he got his medications both the pills and topical treatments and not letting him scratch! She kept us updated with messages and pictures daily. Overall, if you are looking for someone who takes care of your pet as if it was her very own, you will find it in Sheryl.
April was awesome. She replied quickly, arrived on time for our meet and greet, was extremely attentive to both dogs, and didnt mind dog hair :) I felt confident having April watch both dogs. Its hard enough having a stranger in your house, let alone taking care of your fur babies, but she provided care and was kind and compassionate. I would definitely use April again in the future.
Melissa was wonderful with our babies! Our dog Ruger has terrible separation anxiety. She was so sweet and patient with him, it made us feel so much more relaxed knowing we left him in good hands. It also helps that's she's an awesome communicator, keeping us up to date on how our little ones were doing while we were away from them. We loved working with her. I definitely will be booking her again for our fur babies.
Carlee watched my dogs for a week. I have one dog, a slower-moving senior, and an active hound. I was able to stay in touch with her throughout the week if I needed anything or for updates. She clearly played with and spent time with the dogs. They were well taken care of. I had no issues, and I would be happy to rebook her.
