“Brenna reassured me that my cat was in good hands, so I didn’t have to worry while I was away. I enjoyed reading the detailed events on the Rover card as well as looking at all the pictures. I highly recommend Brenna to look after your animal.”

“Rebecca did a great job taking care of my baby. She was on time for the visit and treated him like her own. She sent me lots of pictures of my sweet boy. Would recommend and will use again”

About: Hi! My name is Eliza and I have had some type of animal in my life since before I could walk! I have over 10 years of experience watching and taking care of pets. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and excited for every visit. I can’t wait to take care of your baby or babies! My schedule’s flexible, so I can give your pet consistent care, playtime, attention, cuddles, and lots of love whenever they need it, all throughout the week. I keep pets happy and comfortable by following their normal routine, providing walks, playtime, and affection, and ensuring their space stays just the way they like it!
About: Hi there! I’m Jessie — animal lover, dog trainer, and all-around pet care enthusiast! Whether you need someone to care for your furry best friend while you’re away, or help them learn some new skills, I’m here to make their tail wag and your life easier. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities — from shy rescues to bouncy puppies to confident pack leaders. My approach to training is always positive, patient, and fun! I love seeing dogs build confidence, good manners, and that special sparkle when they “get it.” When your pet’s with me, they’re treated like family. Expect plenty of playtime, cuddles, walks, and personalized attention. I’m also happy to send photo and video updates so you can see your happy pup in action! I work hard so my pets can have a better life. I’m blessed to have a very flexible schedule, training dogs and painting in my free time :) Your fur babies will be my priority every day of the week! I’m happy to board dogs overnight at my house so they can be part of the family, or house sit so that your babies don’t need to travel. Their needs come first!
About: I am very conscientious and caring. I have owned and cared for a lot of different animals. I will put your mind at ease and will work with you for the top quality care of your pet. I have a wide open daily schedule. I am an early riser and very flexible to meet your needs. I have a horse I visit and want to fill the rest of my time helping others with pet care. I have experienced firsthand how hard it is to get someone you can trust to look after your furry family and realize it is a need in the community. I currently work with my own two dogs every day to ensure they get the exercise needed and make their dog food from scratch so they remain healthy. I understand that your pet needs interaction and breaks from being by themselves while you are away. Commercial pet boarding just doesn’t cut it and takes them out of their safe familiar environment. Raising their stress levels. They don’t need that in your absence. I can take that stress away and make some friends in the process.
About: I have had dogs my entire life including seniors with hip issues and puppies with sharp teeth. :) I am also a level 2 volunteer at the animal shelter handling dog care along with adoption events. I am currently a student and have class 3 times a week. Because of this I am available at home for any last minute help! I live in a quiet neighborhood that is close to the beach and a small dog park. I enjoy long walks and would be happy to take your dog to the beach and send pictures!
