About: I grew up surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I truly love spending time with dogs, playing, going on walks, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and affectionate, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently home full-time, which allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day. I manage my home and have a very flexible routine, making it easy to adapt to your dog’s schedule for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m originally from Brazil, where I earned my Law degree, and I’m a U.S. Army spouse. At the moment, I’m focused on studying English while staying at home, which gives me the availability and consistency to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for your pet. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and organized environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I closely supervise them at all times and make sure they follow their usual routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I respect your space and maintain your pet’s routine to minimize stress. I ensure doors are securely closed, food and water are fresh, and your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and supervision.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life through family and friends, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I understand the importance of consistent walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving dogs the attention they thrive on. During my time volunteering at an animal shelter, I regularly walked dogs and played fetch with them, and it was impossible to miss the pure excitement on their faces whenever they got a break from their kennels. I have open availability during the week so I have more flexibility to focus on your pup’s and/or kitty’s needs, including feeding, walks, grooming, and playtime. My cats are strictly indoor—not by force, but because they seem fully aware they’re living the good life. That same attention to comfort and routine carries over into my client care style, where I carefully follow each pet owner’s instructions and maintain their fur babies’ schedules down to a science.

Dee Anne did a wonderful job watching our kitties, she sent photos everyday, played with them, and made sure they were well taken care of. We will definitely use her whenever we go out of town again, and we would highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care while they are away.

Misao took amazing care of our cat while we were out of town. She was very conscientious, gave us regular updates, brought in our mail and packages, and left the house cleaner than when we left. Not only was she incredibly sweet, she was timely, followed our detailed instructions perfectly and was overall a great pet sitter! Highly recommend and would hire again :)

Sierra was an excellent cat sitter for us! All her visits to feed and care for our cat were on time with lots of cat pictures and comments provided after each visit. She also spent extra time getting to know our cat and had her purring and comfortable in no time. We would highly recommend Sierra for any cat sitting needs.

Tiffany was amazing! She took such good care of our 4 dogs while we were out of town for the week. She kept them on schedule and in their normal routines, it's like we were even gone! She went above and beyond to make sure we came home to a calm house.

About: I have had dogs all my life. After I moved out I raised a chocolate lab from 8 weeks old until he passed at 16 yrs. During that time frame I was also raising my Weimaraner at the same time! Both were high energy dogs (and Kaiser, my weim, still is). This has given me experience large breed, high energy dogs. I also have experience with elderly dogs. I am also no stranger to small dogs as I have also cared for my friends pomeranian. I am able to do drop ins before work, during lunch (depending on distanc), and after work. I am able to stay the night if necessary. My pets have full access to the house and are always well fed, cared for, and loved whether its play time or just hanging out watching TV.

About: Hello! My name is Kenzie and I am excited to be your pets friend!! I have experience with many different types of animals, as I’ve worked with neighbor and friends animals as well as at a petting zoo that over the last 14 years. Within that experience I have handled reptiles, rodents, small pigs, dogs and cats! There are obviously many animals I have yet to have a lot of experience with, but I am amazing at following well detailed instructions. I am happy and excited to get as many photos or check ins as makes each individual pet parent happy and comfortable. As an added bonus, my eldest cat has been on insulin shots twice a day for four years now. So I am familiar with handling animal’s for shots, and I’ve also had to administer pills as well. Thank you for your time and consideration! I have a fairly flexible schedule and am more than willing to work with pet parents on days and times that work for them. My availability on the weekend may vary, but I am usually pretty open during the week. I do not plan to bring peoples animals into my home for the time being as I have special need animals of my own that would not fair well with it

About: Ready to love your pet just as it was my own! I love going on jogs and walks with them! We've got a large fenced in backyard as well with plenty of play space. I am available most days and times, just message me for details. I believe you'll be happy with my services because I'll go above and beyond to make sure your kitty or pup is cared for and loved and exercised plenty! Currently working from home and have a flexible schedule please just reach out if you have any questions regarding my availability. Typically weekdays are best.

I highly recommend having Paul watch your family pet. My little Ava fell in love with him. He was thorough in his visits, gave so much affection to Ava, sent photos on walks, playing outside, and just relaxing on the sofa. This was her first Rover experience and it was magnificent. Thank you Paul!

Kim is a fantastic sitter. I’ve tried several sitters for my two pups that both have very differing needs, Kim is by far the best. She understands dog’s needs. Leaving the dogs with her adds a level of relaxation to our trips knowing my precious pups are being well cared for.

Bella showed a polite professionalism when it came to the care of our dogs. She did research on handling techniques better suited for our specific dog breed and came up with ways to make them more comfortable around her, in a short timeframe mind you. She went above and beyond our expectations and we will surely try to book her in the future!
