“We are so thankful for Brian!! We had a bad experience with a local pet sitting company so we went looking on Rover when we were going away for Thanksgiving. Brian immediately put two anxious cat parents at ease and we left without a worry. Brian was communicative, prompt, kind, and got the cutest pictures of our cats. We will definitely be using his services again and confidently recommend him to any pet parents!!! Thank you, Brian!”


About: I am a dog mom currently without a dog. I lost my soul dog, Bogart, in 2023 after having him from 10 weeks old to just shy of his 14th birthday. He was so spoiled, everyone we know can confirm. During his last few years, he suffered from a collapsed trachea so we went through many health phases. He lived three years past when the vet said we would probably lose him. I feel that’s due to my love and care. I’m also the person at friends and family’s houses that their pets flock too. Dogs, and even cats, just know I’m an animal lover. I would love to love on your furry child. I’m currently a self employed cake baker and decorator with lots of time on my hands. I may even bring some fresh baked doggy treats for your pet, assuming you’re ok with it. My dog Bogart used to love his peanut butter, banana, and pumpkin treats. I’m willing to do whatever works for your pet and your home. I’m used to crate training but if you need a stay over night visit, I’m fine with your dog sleeping in bed if that’s what they are used to. I’m there to keep them company, keep them safe and keep them loved.

About: Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. For over five years, I’ve provided reliable pet care for dogs and cats, from daily walks to overnight stays. I’m experienced with all ages and temperaments, including senior pets and those with anxiety. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe and loved Currently i work a full time job M-F 8-4pm. Open to pet sitting after work. Available all day on weekends. In August I will be starting law school and my schedule will open up to Fridays/Saturdays- Sundays all day I can accommodate pets who prefer alone time or need crating, and I follow any specific routines or instructions to make your pet feel at home. Cleanliness, comfort, and supervision are always a top priority.

“I cannot speak more highly of Marilyn!!!!!! She is THE BEST dog sitter I could ever, EVER ask for!!!!! No others compare!!!! Not only is she so gentle and responsible with my dog, but she goes above and beyond what is asked for; taking him to the nearby playground for fun times, relaxing in the sun, cuddling and loving on him in my home, sweetly playing with his favorite toys, even taking selfies to show me how much she cares for him. It literally brings tears to my eyes seeing these pictures because of how safe I feel Mickey is and how wonderful she is!!! She follows instructions to the tee and she’s perfect!! I adore her!!! Please use her!!!! Your puppy will have another mommy 🤗🐶❤️”

“Absolutely incredible service. Julie’s attention to details was outstanding. We would recommend Julie over and over again. If you want someone to care for your fur babies while you are away, this is the person to contact. My cat Elsa is not the friendliest to strangers but she warmed right up to Julie two days in. Look forward to have her take care of my babies when we go on our next trip. The visit information that I received assured me that my pets were in good hands. Always on time and great communication with me with the status of the each visit. Julie thank you so much !”
