“This was our first time using Laura through Rover, and we couldn’t be happier. I was a bit nervous at first, but she was fantastic with our dog, Brownie. You can tell she really cares Brownie did great with her! Communication was fast and easy; she always responded quickly to messages. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be rebooking her soon. Highly recommend!”



“Wendy was fantastic! Great with communication and took good care of my dog when she came to visit. Highly recommend and will do so for anyone else in the area.”


“Kayla is wonderful! She is punctual, reliable, and took such great care of our pup. She went above and beyond to communicate all the details of her visit. You can tell she really loves animals! We highly recommend Kayla!”


“Kristin was great with my kitty’s. She made sure they got fed and one of the cats got meds. It was easy to book with her at the last minute when I could see not book anyone else. After getting home and greeting my cats I can tell they were not lonely while we are gone. I so appreciate her and my cats liked her being there. I would definitely book her again.”



“Ramsey’s first week was great. Crystal spent a lot of time with her and really cares about her, which eases my mind. To be honest, I don’t know who enjoyed it more, Ramsey or Crystal. ? We are so pleased with her service.”


“Jasmine is AMAZING!!! We have 4 HIGH energy dogs with separation anxiety and we, ourselves, have mad anxiety about leaving them alone for any period of time. She was open to helping us scent-train our dogs to learn her smell before coming over. And she was also open to both meeting us and doing a trial visit before we booked out a longer trip. On the day of the actual visit, she was SO communicative + helpful the entire time. Plenty of pictures and the pups who are wary of strangers, LOVE HER. We are so relieved to have found the perfect dog sitter for our babies and can rest-easy knowing they will be in her care while we’re gone. Book her!!!”



“Stacey got the job done and was attentive with my cat. She went above and beyond. We didn't realize her vet would be closed the day before Thanksgiving and we were unable to get a refill on her prescription that she takes twice a day. Stacey called the vet the day after Thanksgiving and picked it up for us. She really came through in a pinch and we felt great that she was the one caring for our gal. We highly recommend her”


“Teresa was great! She kept me in the loop with my babies (kitties) while we were gone; she even washed their food bowls! I really appreciate that she was willing and able to help it with such short notice.”


“Lindsay was so wonderful and my normally aloof elder kitty loved her so much! She was so kind and accommodating the entire service. I would recommend her to anyone :)”


“Cassandra was great! My pups can be hyper when meeting new people, and one sometimes has anxiety, but Cassandra was understanding and calm when dealing with them. She took the time to ask great questions to learn about our pups and their wants and needs, as well as getting to know us and our preferences. We look forward to working with her again.”


About: I volunteered at Ana’s Angels for 3 years, I walked the dogs, made them look nice and presentable for people wanting to adopt them, I fed them, gave them water, and cleaned up their poop. I will be able to do the same, if not more for your dog or puppy. I am a big animal lover, and would love to help you out! I have school Tuesdays and Thursday and have work for a few hours on Monday and Wednesday’s. I am available to be able to stay over to check-in with the dogs and stay the night there. I will come to your home and take your pet and whatever they may need…if they need a walk, to be let out, fed/water, or even some love. I am very respectful and will follow whatever rules you oblige upon me, and will show your pet so much love and care!

About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and even fostered both dogs and cats, so I understand every animal has their own personality and needs. I always take the time to read and follow each dog’s behavior, making sure they feel safe and happy on every walk. As a puppy parent myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and I treat every dog I walk like my own. Whether it’s playful puppies or gentle senior dogs, I’m here to make tails wag and put your mind at ease. I work part time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available most days and can easily adjust my schedule to make sure your dog gets the walks and attention they need, when they need it. Having the extra time means I can focus on giving each dog the care and patience they deserve whether that’s a quick potty break or a long, playful walk. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I always treat their space with the same respect I’d expect in my own. My main priority is your dog’s safety and well being making sure they’re comfortable, happy, and always returned home safe after every walk or visit. If anything is ever needed to keep your pet cared for properly, I’ll always reach out and ask. My focus is fully on your dog giving them the attention and care they deserve while respecting your home as their safe place.

About: I have had pets for my entire adult life, starting with cats and then eventually dogs. I am highly energetic and would love to care for your pets as if they were my own! I am recently retired from teaching for 30 years so my time is very flexible! But don’t be misled, I am quite vibrant and energetic. I can easily care for your dogs in my own home or yours. I have ample room for crates, a great neighborhood to walk in and a dog run at my own home. I am also very happy to come to your home to sit/walk.

“Carissa was great with our Shiba Inc. Sasha is a stubborn dog that is picky about who she lets walk her and Carissa was definitely let into Sasha's circle. Will use Carissa again.”


About: Between the two of us, we have over 25 years of animal care experience, with over half of that coming in a professional setting. We are both former zookeepers that know all the ins-and-outs of animal behavior. Additionally, Erin worked at a vet hospital for over 10 years. You will have peace of mind knowing we can handle any situation thrown our way, whether it be administering meds, difficult behavior issues, and any other special circumstance. We both work full-time M-F and get off at 2:30. We live 5 mins from our work so can be home quickly. Your pup must be comfortable spending those days in a crate/kennel (if they have destructive tendencies or are not potty trained). If we determine that your pup is able to, we are more than happy to let them have access to the house when we are gone to play with our dog Rudy. Your pup will have lots of opportunities to play and go on walks and get cuddles as we will be home for the remainder of each day your pup stays with us. For weekend stays, your pup will never be in a crate as we will be home all day and giving him/her lots of playtime and cuddles. We love going for long walks, the dog park, hiking, and the beach, and your dog would come along with us if you would like. We also have a fully fenced in back yard that is sizeable enough for plenty of playtime with our dog Rudy or a game of fetch. We have plenty of toys, enrichment, and can even work on training to keep your pup stimulated throughout their stay with us.
