“Briana took great care of my two bunnies and one cat on relatively short notice. I was relieved to find someone with bunny experience that would do in-house visits, and she put me completely at ease. My cat's usually a scaredy cat when it comes to strangers, but Briana managed to befriend her and get heartwarming pictures of her getting pets and inspecting the camera :) We were new to Rover and Briana made the experience so easy and rewarding.”


“Chelsea is phenomenal! She was so great with our high energy pup and was super attentive to her needs, asked all the necessary questions during our initial meet and greet. I loved that our pets seemed to feel at ease with her. The visit photos were a treat. Thank you so much for your time and care, Chelsea!”


“Lori just took care of my French Bulldog while I was on vacation for a week. Usually when I’m away my dog is anxious and depressed. Lori lifted her spirits, helped her get through my time away and took wonderful care of her. My dog definitely has a best friend!”


“My cat Juno is not that sociable, but he stayed close enough to get the treats and food that Mark and Devon left for him, and my beta, Fishy is about twice the size he was when I left. I appreciated them bringing in my mail, and the pictures sent were reassuring for me. I was so much more comfortable being away knowing that Mark and Devon would be there to care for my pets and keep me connected with pictures and notes. I was lucky to have their help and I absolutely recommend them 100% !!!”


“Cannot recommend Sara enough! She was incredibly thorough and sent so many pictures and videos. We were out of town for about a month so she even offered to help with the plants and bringing in the mail, etc. She is incredibly kind, professional, and very obviously LOVES animals. It was such a relief to know my little buddy was in such capable hands. Thanks again Sara!!”


About: My journey in pet care began in 2016 when I brought home a golden doodle who quickly became part of the family. Over time, I developed a deep understanding of how pets, whether dogs, cats, or other companions, bring comfort, joy, and emotional support to the people who love them. I ultimately chose to have her stay with my ex-husband so she could be a consistent source of support for our daughter during her time with him. Since then, I’ve cared for a variety of animals, each with their own unique personalities and needs. I’m calm, attentive, and patient, and I always take the time to make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable in my care, whether I’m walking them, feeding them, playing with them, or simply keeping them company. I work from home three days a week, so I’m around during the day to give your pets attention, playtime, and care. I’m also fully available on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. My flexible schedule allows me to tailor care to your pet’s needs, whether that means midday cuddles, structured walks, or keeping your pet company while you’re away. I take a calm, caring approach to every pet I look after, whether I’m visiting your home or caring for them in mine. I live in a townhouse with plenty of walking paths nearby, making it easy to give dogs the exercise they need. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique temperament and routine, and I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and creating a stress-free environment wherever I provide care.

“Emily has been watching my senior cat for a few years now and always takes amazing care of him. He really seems to enjoy having her stop in and is happy and healthy when I come home!”


“She took great care of our 2 large breed dogs while we were away on vacation. Would not hesitate to have her watch our boys again! The Rover card updates were great to read while we were away ?”


“I highly recommend Emily to help with your dog! She was quick with communication and followed our directions perfectly! She sent lots of photos of our puppy and was able to adapt to changes in feeding schedule when needed.”


“Caitlyn was great! Very responsive and sent plenty of updates while we were gone, and I can tell my kitties were well taken care of. I have one shy baby that hides when new people come by and Caitlyn made sure to lay eyes on her too. Leo, my outgoing baby was clearly very happy to receive all the love, pets, and playtime based on photos! Highly recommend booking Caitlyn!”


About: I have had animals in my life all my life. I am comfortable working with dogs, cats, and small animals. I have also worked with animals that have special needs, specifically related to senior care. I am capable of giving meds and shots to animals. I currently work part-time for myself so I'm able to schedule around your animal's needs. I am able to walk animals up to three times today. The most important thing for an animal is to feel safe while it's owners are away. I am here to follow any routines that your pet already has to maintain a sense of security and calm.

“Olivia took great care of our kitties!! They loved her and enjoyed all her visits. It was a big relief to know they were well loved while we were gone and we will definitely book with her again in the future!! Would definitely recommend her for your pet care needs:)”


About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, and my love for animals started early. I began walking dogs for my neighbors as a teen and have years of experience caring for both small and large breeds. In addition to my personal and professional experience, I have also volunteered at animal shelters, which has given me a well rounded understanding of animal care. I am comfortable working with both high energy dogs and elderly dogs who require extra patience and care. I also have a rescue dog who has overcome many behavioral challenges with training, giving me hands on experience in building trust, consistency, and effective communication with dogs. During the week, I am available mainly in the afternoon for walks(can be flexible depending on the time) and weekends vary based on availability. Let me know when and what works for you I prioritize safety, trust, and a positive environment for every pet in my care. In your home I ensure their comfort by following instructions closely, maintaining routines and staying attentive to their needs providing an enjoyable experience.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have two Shih Tzus of my own, so I know how much love, patience, and attention pets need to feel safe and happy. I’m confident handling small breeds and understand their unique personalities and needs. While in college, I also lived with a cat and helped care for her regularly—so I’m comfortable around both dogs and cats. Whether it’s going for a walk, giving belly rubs, or making sure your pet gets fed and cared for on schedule, I treat every animal like family. As a grad student studying mental health counseling, I bring a calm, observant, and reliable presence into your pet’s routine. I’m especially experienced with small dogs, puppy care, and flexible to your pet’s personality—whether they’re shy, playful, or need a little extra reassurance Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I’m currently a grad student and work part-time in retail, so I have the most availability for morning walks during the week. I’m especially flexible on weekends and during the summer, when I can offer more daytime availability for walks, drop-ins, or extended visits. I always plan ahead and stay organized to make sure your pet’s needs are met on time. Whether it’s a consistent weekday morning walk or a last-minute weekend check-in, I’m happy to work with your schedule! When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine to keep them feeling secure and comfortable. I always follow the instructions provided closely—whether that’s feeding, medications, walk routes, or favorite toys—and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and safe. I take pet safety seriously. I double-check leashes, gates, and doors before every walk or visit and never leave pets unattended outside. I’m also very mindful of your home—treating it with the same care and respect I would my own. Because I’m a calm and observant person (and a pet owner myself!), I’m good at reading animal behavior and making sure each interaction is safe, gentle, and positive.
