About: Hi there! I'm Louise, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember — I grew up with dogs and cats and have never been without a pet by my side. That lifelong experience means I'm genuinely comfortable and confident with animals of every age and stage, from bouncy puppies and curious kittens to gentle, slower-paced seniors who need a little extra care. I understand that handing your pet over to someone new can feel nerve-wracking, so I treat every dog and cat in my care the way I'd want my own treated — with patience, attention, and plenty of affection. I'm experienced in administering medication, so if your pet has ongoing health needs, allergies, or is recovering from something, you can relax knowing they're in capable hands. Whether your pet needs a calm routine, an active play session, or just someone to sit with them and keep them company, I'll take the time to learn their personality and quirks so they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout our time together, because I know how much peace of mind that brings. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. I'd love to meet you both! I'm a full-time parent, so pet care fits neatly around the school day. I'm available for visits on weekdays during school hours, plus some Saturdays, giving pets a calm, consistent routine. I provide care entirely in your own home, so your pet stays in their familiar environment with their normal routine, bed, and belongings — no stress of travel or a new space. I take time to learn each pet's habits, boundaries, and any specific needs before I start, and I'm comfortable administering medication if required. I always follow the instructions you leave for feeding, walks, or house rules, and I'm attentive to small signs of stress or discomfort so I can respond calmly and appropriately. I keep the home secure while I'm there — locking doors, keeping gates closed, and leaving everything as I found it — and I send photo and text updates throughout the visit so you always know how things are going.
“Debora was excellent, friendly, and accommodated me under short time constraints (and great stress for me) when another pre-booked Rover sitter became unresponsive. So glad I found her! Great communication with updates and photos out me at ease when I was traveling! A+++”


About: Me and my sister grew up around dogs and my sister works at a dog day care. We are animal lovers and would be more than happy to walk or keep your dog entertained. I also love to run so if your dog is very active, I can take them on a run to tire them out! I recently moved away from my parents house where my dog lives, so I miss being around animals. I have previous experience as a dog walker before I moved and I have a lot of experience handling very strong and energetic dogs too. I am more than happy to answer any questions you have regarding dog sitting, pet visits and dog walking! Thank you for taking the time to read about me! -Suni

About: I have had a pet dog or cat ever since I was born. I have had experience with pets at a variety of ages, including very young, and super seniors, such as 20. Depending on the times that you may need sitting, I am available to come early in the morning, feed to your specifications, and do a variety of other pet caring chores. If your pet requires lots of play to get energy out, that is something I more more than happy to do. I have helped care for a variety of age groups and energies. Theres a big difference in the work required for an active puppy, and an aging friend.
“Heather was fantastic!! On-time every time, great with my cat who seemed to have a lot of fun with her, and very communicative with potential issues. Won't hesitate to book her again in the future, and I recommend you do the same!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Neighbors, friends and family trust me to feed, walk, and watch their dogs. I’ve fostered many dogs and love all breeds of dogs. I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets. Check out my availability below and let me know if you have any questions. When I’m caring for your pet in your home or out and about, their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.

I have experience with senior pets and understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they may need. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications, supplements, or other daily care routines as needed. Your pet will be treated like family—with compassion, reliability, and lots of love every step of the way.
About: I’ve been a huge animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I helped my aunt foster and rehabilitate dogs and cats, which gave me experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I learned early on that every pet is different and deserves patience, attention, and lots of love. I currently have two adorable cats and a pit bull/Lab mix who are my whole world, so I’m very comfortable caring for both cats and dogs, including larger breeds. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and figuring out what makes them happiest, whether that’s going for walks, playing, cuddling on the couch, or just having someone nearby to keep them company. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, and I’m always happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you know they’re safe and having a good time. I have a pretty flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available Mondays and Wednesdays after 12 PM, Tuesdays and Thursdays after 3 PM, and I’m available all day on Fridays and weekends. Whether your fur baby needs a walk, some playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’m happy to work with their normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I understand that trusting someone with your fur baby and allowing them into your home is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. During drop-ins, I’ll always respect your home, follow any instructions you leave, and make sure doors, gates, and anything else your pet could get into are secure before I leave. On walks, I’ll keep your dog safely leashed and pay close attention to our surroundings, other dogs, traffic, and anything that could make them uncomfortable. I’m also happy to send photos and updates during every visit so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and being well cared for.
About: The last two dogs I had were the best pets I've ever had, one in particular I took everywhere, hiking, running, swimming and even to play basketball. I feel like every dog owner should expose their dogs to many outside environments, something other than there backyard or house. As an owner I believe that dogs should be treated more than just a convenient stress reliever. Dogs can be your closest friend so they ought to be cared for and treated like a great one. What I bring to the table is a genuine love for all dogs and an understanding of their needs. I can be fairly flexible on weekdays for visits and walks, but am mostly available only in the afternoon. Weekends, I am pretty much always available. House sits I can do any day of the week. To start off, I always start off by caring for the pet as outlined by the owner (routines, feeding schedules, medications, things to avoid, walks). But in addition to that, I like to have some fun with the dogs that I sit. I will play with them a bit and in general just hang out with them.

About: Hello! 🐾 Working with animals has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs and cats, including experience in dog grooming, working in a veterinary clinic, and providing professional pet-sitting services. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and truly dedicated to providing the best care possible for every pet I look after. I love going the extra mile for my clients and making sure their fur babies feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re away. Whether that means taking the pups on fun little field trips and adventures or simply staying home, cuddling, and keeping them company, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. 🐶💕 Your pets are family, and I treat them that way! 🐾🌸🩷 Feel free to send me a message so we can set up a meet-and-greet. I’d absolutely love the opportunity to meet you and your fur baby! ☺️🐶🐾💕 I have a very flexible schedule and am able to work around each client’s individual needs and routine. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules, whether that means daily visits, overnight stays, walks, or simply providing companionship and care while you’re away. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. When caring for pets, I like to learn as much as possible about their individual routines and needs so I can provide the best care possible. I like to know their feeding schedule, any medications they may be taking, and whether there are any behavioral or special needs I should be aware of. I also take into consideration their age, whether they are a puppy, kitten, adult, or senior, as some pets may need a little extra attention, patience, or care. For every pet-sitting arrangement, I also appreciate having an emergency contact and the information for their regular veterinarian or a nearby emergency vet, just in case something unexpected happens. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for just as they would be at home.
“This was my first time using Rover and couldn't have been happier with finding Toya. I had to change my work trip and she was easy to work with on my changes and needs. I added a drop in for my other dog to for a walk and she was available and dropped in no problem! HIGHLY recommend to keep your trips relaxed knowing your dogs are well taken care of.”

“Lili was truly a life saver when I needed someone to come check on my cat Maisie urgently. She was there within 2 minutes and was super prompt with feeding her, making sure the balcony door was closed, finding her hiding under the bed. It was an urgent situation and I couldn’t have been happier that Lili was up for the job because she went above and beyond. You MUST book for your pets too, she is an expert and great with animals!”
