“Elaine and I did a meet and greet today with my miniature dachshund Casey. Casey warmed up to her immediately and felt very safe with her from the get go! It's easy to tell that Elaine is a true pet lover and we look forward to future visits for walks and pet sitting! This is my first time using the Rover app, and meeting Elaine made me so happy I did!”


“Bianca took care of my cat, Bubo, while I was out of the country for a week. Bubo is older and has been getting more and more finicky with age. But Bianca informed me every day how things were going, how she was eating and was also able to try other methods to try to get her to eat. It was great to have Bianca taking care of Bubo without having to worry. She's dependable, trustworthy and punctual. Highly recommended!”


“Rachel was the best sitter my pups ever had. Rachel is super patient and always has a great attitude. She cared for my frenchies and showed them much love. Im glad I have a sitter that I can count on for now on. Thank you Rachel !”


“Jessica took great care of my two cats while I was away for the weekend. She gave them lots of play and affection, kept them well fed and watered, and kept the litter box clean. She even left a homemade cat toy for them!”


About: I’ve cared for animals for over 5 years, including adopting three cats and raising two dogs. I truly love animals and treat every pet like my own. I regularly help friends with pet sitting and feeding, and I also volunteer as a foster for shelter cats. My experience spans caring for both dogs and cats, including those with unique needs or personalities. I currently work full-time but am available on my days off — Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays — to care for your pets. I can also provide evening check-ins or walks on workdays with advance notice. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always my top priority! I provide pet care in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable and secure. I’m respectful of your space, follow all care instructions carefully, and ensure your pet gets the attention, playtime, and companionship they need while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being and your peace of mind are my top priorities.

About: What sets me apart is that I truly understand the ups, downs, and quirks that come with caring for pets at every stage of life—because I live it every day with my own three dogs. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time during the week to check in and take your dog on a walk and spend time with them I’m available anytime Monday through Thursday. I have a fenced in yard and I have a crate accessible for them as well. I also never leave my animals unattended while I am home.

“She got back to me so quickly!! Tasha was excellent she made leaving my young puppy home by himself a little easier to swallow! Thank you so much!”


About: Since I was a child, I’ve had a strong passion and deep connection with animals. It all started with my first stuffed animal and hours spent watching wildlife documentaries. That passion grew into helping family, friends, and neighbors with daily walks, playtime, and grooming. My favorite part? Cuddle sessions and seeing them get a new trick! After years of begging, my parents finally got me a dog, which quickly turned into two more dogs and a cat! From my own pets to those I’ve cared for, I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a senior dog who needs extra love and patience, I’ve loved them all. I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your pet, and I’ll always treat them like my own. Whether they need a fun walk, a belly rub, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved! I am in medical school and would love to have some pet therapy in between my stressful schedule. My perfect time is in the afternoon or evening. If you’re close by, I’m excited to meet your furry friend! Whatever your pet needs I can accommodate! Every pet is different and have unique requirements so as long as you let me know I can make it happen!

About: I live with four cats and recently helped deliver three adorable kittens, so that makes seven in total! I also have experience with feeding formula to kittens. I currently have a full time job during the weekdays, however I am willing to look over your baby cat and dog after work, and definitely free on the weekends I would be going to your place and give your lovely adorable kitty or dog a great care when you needed, I will follow your instructions clearly.
