Julie was an amazing sitter for our two cats, Harry and Marv. She was incredibly caring and diligent during her drop in visits, ensuring they were well fed, played with, and happy. Julie went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and we felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in good hands. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!

She did a great job with my fur babies! I also noticed when I got back from my trip that she swept up the litter, because I know they really kick it around the house. Very communicative & sent pics of them daily.

Emily did great with my dogs and I know she took excellent care of them. My babies can be a handful and she never once complained. She gives a lot of details in her communications and I really do like that. It puts me at ease knowing my babies are well taken care of

I needed care for our cat unexpectedly over Labor Day weekend and Megan not only quickly responded to the request but was flexible when booking. She showed up and sent the best pictures and thorough update. She made it really easy and gave us peace of mind. Thanks!

About: I have worked in a doggy daycare that required us to not only manage the dogs but also teach them how to properly socialize with other dogs! This sparked my love for dog training and once I got my dog Turtle my journey to becoming a dog trainer began! My mission is to help you and your dog’s life be more fulfilling together in any way I can. Whether that be teaching you guys how to communicate better, being there while you’re working to support them, or taking them out on adventures I will do my best to make it worthwhile! I can’t wait to meet you but specifically your pup! 🙏🐶❤️ I work two part-time jobs with one of them being a dog trainer. This means plenty of time and skills that I can use to not only be there for your dog but also help them learn! When it comes to your pets care you tell me what is best. You know your dog better than I ever will, which means you know their discomforts. My job is to care for them to the best of my ability and I fully intend to do so by avoiding any extra stress!

About: I have hands on experience with both high energy and anxious dogs, so I’m comfortable handling everything from playful pups to pets that need a calmer, more reassuring approach. I also have experience being around cats through friends and family, and I’m happy caring for both. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be consistent and reliable with visits, walks, and check ins. I’m able to plan my day around pet care responsibilities and make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need without feeling rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions and prioritize the pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and aim to create a calm, reassuring environment. I also respect the home by keeping things clean, following any house rules, and making sure everything is left as it was found. I provide updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

About: Hello! My services offer walks and drop in visits. I’ve absolutely adored animals since I was little and have grown up with cats and dogs. I’ve been taking care of my own pets as well as strays and fosters for years. My work experience includes managing kennels at a vet, watching large groups of dogs at Beach for Dogs, and I was a bather at Petsmart. When your pet is in my care I can promise you they will be safe, happy and comfortable as can be every time. I’ll love them like my own! I am self-employed. I am able to work my Rover appointments into my schedule without any issues or potential of inconveniencing my clients in any way. I have a calm and nurturing energy when dealing with dogs to make them comfortable. It’s important to give them the opportunity to get their energy out so you can come home to a tired, relaxed dog!

About: Had pets all 24 years of my life, and now own a King Cavalier Charles who is a joy to everyone and everything. I would be a great host to anyone who comes into my home. Have taught my animals tricks and trained them as well. I work from home on Monday’s and Friday’s so I would be available to be with the animal at all times and take them out every few hours on those days and weekends. I frequently like to take breaks at work which means lots of play time. My community is large and very safe. It includes a dog park and lots of paths to walk miles on. The pets are allowed on furniture. I am a smoke free home. I have a pup at home who loves everyone and is eager to make some friends!
