“Thank you Megan! Bolt loves seeing you and we are so thankful for you! Even on such short notice, you’re always so quick to respond and we have such peace of mind! You’re the best!”

“Dana was amazing! My Wickett was a little shy during their first meeting and Dana was so patient and understanding. Just after a few minutes, some yummy little treats that Dana had, and some extra love, Wickett warmed right up to her! Right then, I knew Wickett was in good hands! During her drop in visits, Dana kept me updated with pictures and texts and my little girl always looked happy :) Repeat customer, for sure! Thank you Dana!”

About: I already love your furbabies, we just haven't met yet! ❤️❤️❤️ Many people call me a "Dog Whisperer," and while I don’t claim the title, animals respond to my calm, intuitive presence. I bring emotional attunement, patience, and loving structure to every visit. Whether your baby is playful, shy, or needs extra TLC, I honor their unique personality. Pet sitting is more than a side gig; it’s a healing, heart-centered exchange. I offer sacred companion care that gives your pet peace and you peace of mind. I'm a Certified Self-Love Coach with a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize your pet’s care with presence and ease. I structure my day around the needs of the animals in my care. Whether it’s early mornings, midday walks, or calm overnight stays, I make space for them to feel safe, seen, and loved. While sitting, I read, reflect, or study, but their comfort always comes first. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where their routines, scents, and surroundings bring them calm. I ask detailed questions ahead of time (walk schedule, feeding preferences, medication, etc.) and follow your instructions to the letter. My care style is clean, respectful, and rooted in trust. I adapt to each animal's rhythm and always check in if something feels off. Your home is your sanctuary, and I treat it with the same care I give to your pet.
About: I have grown up taking care of dogs, turtles, and tortoises all my life. I would also watch over birds and pigeons that belonged to my grandma and uncle. I had cared for a friend’s cat and my neighbor’s cat. I currently have dogs, turtles, tortoises, chickens, and ducks. I currently am a full-time student and looking to take care of more furry babies. I will do the best I can to make sure they get the care they need! I make sure to have engaging toys and enough space for my dogs to run and laze around. I keep watch on my tortoises and turtles since they are currently hibernating. I provide a kiddie pool for my ducks to enjoy baths. I have a coop for my chickens and ducks to sleep in.
“This was my first time using Rover and I found Zapphora. She set up a meet and greet. She was on-time and my cat took to her right away. Zap is very personable and easy to talk to. She communicated with me for each visit. I had her come 2 times a day for 4 days. My Kitty is my baby, I felt so comfortable knowing that Zap would be checking on her. I am thankful for Rover connecting me to her. I will definitely ask for her for any future travels. Thank you Zap!”

“Brandi is wonderful. She’s friendly and on time. I left my puppy with her for several days and she dies drop by visits all the tim. She sent updates and pictures and walked him. I would recommend her for any services.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was smaller, taking care of family and friends pets. They relied on me to walk, feed, take care of and spend the night for sometimes weeks! I myself have had a puppy and a senior dog and am good with both! I am on summer vacation and work a part time job so that gives me a lot of free time to care for your pets! In my home my dogs are walked and feed daily, loved, and comfortable. In clients homes if they leave a routine that they have with their dog it is important for me to stick to it! I love how dogs have their own quirks and routines.
“Kathrine took great care of our kitties while we were gone for a 10 day trip. She visited them twice a day to do basic care but went above and beyond to keep them entertained and happy. She also combed them for fleas when a couple were discovered on them to keep them comfortable. Would definitely use her again and recommend her to any pet owner 😊”

“Quetzaly took great of my cat! He needs some medicine and special care and she did great handling it while I was away. Daily photos of them playing made me feel much better while traveling. I would absolutely have her watch my cat again!”

About: I’ve had pets as part of my family my entire life. Currently own 2 dogs and 1 cat…. They are great, give lots of joy, and keep me busy. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’d love to go on more walks and care for more cats and dogs. I have experience with many breeds and sizes. I don’t expect to board pets right now as we have a full household but I can walk and provide visits to your pets while you are out of town.
“Lacey was awesome !! First time using Rover, so I was apprehensive at first , but Lacey made me feel very comfortable knowing my dog was taken care of. She checked in and out of each visit , and sent me plenty of pictures on each visit so I knew my dog was being taken care of ! She asked any questions and was in contact the whole time. I will definitely be using her again !”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, so taking care of them feels completely natural. I have experience with cats of all personalities and dogs of all sizes, and I currently have two cats and a puppy, so I’m familiar with daily routines, walks, feeding, basic meds, and giving each pet the attention they need. I pay close attention to behavior and energy, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I really enjoy spending time with animals and treating every pet like they’re my own. I work during the week, but can do early morning or evening visits as needed. I’m reliable and do my best to stick to your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. Happy to coordinate timing to make sure they get the attention they need.

This includes feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and giving lots of attention based on each pet’s needs. I monitor behavior and wellbeing and keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is well cared for.

Many of people are not sure what to do with my deafness, but I can lip read pretty well and able to communicate in different ways such as texting, writing, lip reading while talking, etc. Never have an issue with my deafness.
