About: I’ve been working with animals professionally since I was 19 — I’m now 26. Over the years, I’ve worked as a vet assistant, a professional groomer, and at a pet store, gaining hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. These days, my main focus is boarding, walking, and house sitting — and it’s something I genuinely love doing. What sets my care apart is the family-style experience I offer. When your dog stays with me, they aren’t just being watched — they’re becoming part of our daily life. It’s usually me, my young son, and my partner Brian. We go on nature walks, play outside, and include your dog in everything like they’re part of the crew. This isn’t just pet sitting — it’s a second home. I’ve found that so many dogs (and their humans) are looking for that feeling of safety, love, and belonging — even if they haven’t put it into words yet. That’s exactly what I try to create here. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — including shy rescues, high-energy pups, and seniors. I’m trained in animal behavior, have my own vehicle, and can adapt to your dog’s specific needs and temperament. 🚗 Please note: For boarding in my home, dogs must be comfortable around kids and okay with cats, since we do have both. I want everyone (human and animal) to feel safe and relaxed. Whether your pup needs playtime, quiet time, cuddles, or space, I always meet them where they are — with patience, love, and respect. I work from home part time, so your fur baby will fit in perfectly with my schedule. I am looking for something to do that will occupy more of my time, and what better way than to spend it with a new furry friend to love?! I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat who is more like a dog. I can keep him separate if ever needed. My house is a little over 1,300 sq ft so there’s plenty of space. If you need your pet to be crated I am comfortable with that. As well as if any medication is needed to be given or frequent walks. I will always respect the home of the pet and owner. Just point me where I need to go with some guidance regarding you fue baby’s routine, you are in great hands!

“NaBeela took care of my 2 senior cats in my home while I was out of the country. She was kind, an awesome communicator, and easy to work with. Thank you for taking such great care of things and giving me peace of mind while I was away!”

About: I've always had a love for dogs and have cared for my own dogs since I was 12. My friends and family have asked me to walk, play with, feed, or bathe their pets and I am always happy to help! During the week, I work from home three days out of the five and those days I am responsible for my pets at home and love being able to be home with them. At home I have a fenced in yard that is perfect for play dates. My two dogs are very friendly with other dogs and they are crate trained so they can be easily put away. I do not plan on bringing my dogs for the services that I provide because they have anxiety.

“Very communicative & helpful. Took care of my pup like it was his own. Already re-booked!”

About: From owning fish to hamsters to a puppy, animals have always been my support system. I have watched both dogs and cats, and before moving out of my home to pursue my career, lived with my family dog of 8 years. In my free time, I volunteer at foster shelters (like PAWS and NAWS), to help raise awareness of the importance of rescuing and adopting pets. My goal as a care taker is to make your pet feel as comfortable, safe and loved as possible so that when you get back, they don't even realize you were gone! Chat with me to see if I'm the right fit for you! I currently work M-Th full time and virtually on Fridays. My weekends are free. I’m available from Friday-Sunday for overnight and day time sitting. During the week (Monday-Thursday) I am free after 2pm to pet sit as well. I live in a spacious apartment complex that is pet friendly. Most of my neighbors have dogs, and cats amongst other pets too. While I may not have a yard my apartment complex has a dog park and walking trails, which makes for a great play/active area. I have no qualms or restrictions either with pets in my apartment and have no pets myself. My house is their house.

“Carly did such a great job checking in on my cat Binx. She followed instructions perfectly and provided the cutest photos and updates throughout the visits! 10/10! Would definitely be using Carly in the future!!!”

“My first booking with Rover. It is a great service to have as opposed to having my pets boarded. Jenny was great! She got along well with my pets, and my pets were very well cared for.”
