“Mirella has taken my pups out on many occasions and always sends me plenty of pics. She always makes sure they do their business but also spends time to play with them and give them some extra affection! I’m super appreciative!”


About: As a kid my neighbors would always ask me to watch their houses and care for their pets while they were away and since then I have always loved getting to take care of/hangout with any pets that I can! I have owned a variety of animals from dogs and cats to a chinchilla and a conure! I have a lot of hands on experience caring for animals. I am comfortable administering any medications both oral and topical and I absolutely love cleaning so messes are never a problem! I would love to hangout with your pets and ensure that they are happy and taken care of as if they were my own! My availability is very flexible and I can be available whenever needed. I can’t wait to meet your pets! :) I have very flexible availability and will have plenty of time to care for your animals in any way needed! I am available every day of the week and can accommodate any hours of the day. I will treat your home as if it’s my own. I am very clean and responsible. I have always been trusted to care for people’s homes and would treat your home how I would want someone to treat my own if I was away. I will make sure your pets are cleaned up after as much as I will make them feel loved and cared for!

About: I’ve always had a deep passion for caring for dogs, and from a young age, I’ve made it my mission to learn everything I can about their well-being. Over the years, I’ve cared for senior dogs and understand the extra attention and patience they require. Additionally, I have some experience training dogs, which has given me a solid foundation in understanding canine behavior and using positive reinforcement. My priority is to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments and am fully capable of administering medications when needed. I pay close attention to the unique behaviors and preferences of each dog and am always happy to follow any specific instructions or routines you provide. During each visit, I approach every task with calmness, patience, and consistency—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or walks. I also ensure your dog’s environment is clean and comfortable, as I believe in creating a space where both you and your dog feel at ease. Since I'm currently taking my college classes online and am looking for a job, I have a flexible and free schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time throughout the day for your dog. Whether it's taking them for walks, providing playtime, or checking in on thrm regularly, I'm able to accommodate your dog's needs at any time that works best for you! While caring for pets in a client's home I will go the extra mile to ensure safety and security of both the pet and the home. I will give detailed pre-visit communication, making sure to speak about the pets routines, health, and any specific needs. I will also ask about home security details, emergency contacts, and preferences regarding care of the home. I will do safety checks for any potential hazard such as open windows or gates, making sure everything is secure. I will monitor any areas that you'd like off-limits to the pet. I will pay close attention to the pets behavior and their interactions with the environment. I will always lock up after each visit and always be prepared with emergency contact information and knowing where the nearest vet is.

“Naomi was fantastic, going above and beyond for both me and my dog. If nothing else is read on this review, I hope it is clear that I am sincerely so grateful for Naomi's professionalism and attention to detail when taking care of my dog with love. Zyla was so happy on the day to day with Naomi, but what really sets Naomi apart was how she showed up during different circumstances. As a last-minute ask, I asked Naomi if she would be able to check on Zyla during the 4th of July fireworks if she wasn't too busy. Not only did Naomi take time out of her holiday to do an unscheduled visit, she actually sat with Zyla for an extended period of time comforting her through the fireworks. I was so worried about Zyla during the 4th, but Naomi's care helped put me at ease and I was so so grateful. For me, her continued communication was excellent, with regular check-ins to ensure we were aligned on how the care was going and what needed to be done. She texted to see if the walk could be shorter because she noticed the weather would be hard for Zyla to walk in, asked to see if a chewed-up toy could be disposed of -- even throwing it away herself into the community bin so I didn't have to come home to trash in my can.”

I have a deep care for all furry friends and want to share that love with your pet. My home is in a quiet neighborhood with no other pets, a walled backyard with ample room to play, and grass for potty breaks. The local park is right around the corner for walks and play-time. I am also comfortable giving medications (eye drops, pills/tablets, oral liquids). When your pet stays with me, they become the center of attention!

“Sassy loved going every day with her to the dog park for an hour and would come home tired she’s very flexible caring loving and understanding and when I need someone again I will definitely have her in mind first I just moved into the area and she was the first person on Rover I used and she made me feel Secure about having my puppy with her her service is great I wish I could give her more than five stars”

About: I've had animals since I was 6 and have had more dogs than cats, but still am very good with both! I love animals with a passion and love spending time playing with them. Any chance to make a dog or cat feel happy, I will take. Nothing better than an excited bark and a comfortable meow! I have a lot of time on weekends & weekdays when you may want to go out, and some early morning when you're off to work! I cannot take care of animals in my own house due to me having 3 really big and playful dogs.. 😅🫶 I'm currently employed part time looking for a second job, so I'll have plenty of time to play with pups and care for your feline friends.. especially on weekends when you might want to go out! On weekdays most times are acceptable, and I have the most time during those early to late hours depending on the day. 🐾🐈⬛️💖 I mostly would like to care for your pet in your own home simply because I have 3 bigger and more playful dogs at home. However, it is not needed for simple dog walks or trips to the park. I love watching over animals!

I’m a part time yoga teacher in my hometown and don’t work many hours. I am available to check in on the pet, walk or play with them or house sit if needed. My 3 pets at home are able to be indoor/outdoor dogs. They have a backyard to go to the bathroom, water and food as they need. We walk in the mornings at least 5 times week.

I structure my schedule around their routines—morning and evening walks, playtime, and check-ins—because I know how important consistency is for animals. I enjoy the time I spend with pets, and caring for them has become a rewarding part of my everyday life, not just a task. I’m organized, flexible, and always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and happy I am the main cade taker of the pets in our home.

About: I've had animals all my life, big and small and all species. Friends and family have always counted on me to take care of their pets keeping them happy and safe, while they were away. I have lots of pets of my own that are fed every morning and night as well as taken out for exercise as much as I possibly can. I work a part time job and I’m currently attending MJC for large animal vet tech. House sitting and drop in visits tend to fit the best with my schedule. I live on five acres which means plenty of running area, with a big huge field of grass. As for client homes I like to make sure your pet gets all the exercise they need so they aren’t super wound up by the time you get home!

About: I have been raised around cats, dogs, birds, horses, goats and pigs throughout my life and I just love them!! I treat all animals like they are all mine and enjoy the time. Let me know the time and dates needed and let’s go from there! 😊 I will let you know my schedule and we can set it up. I can walk them. Feed them. Clean up after them. Take them for drives. Go to the dog park. Bath. Hang out and just let them be.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for them has been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had a wide range of pets over the years: turtles, fish, ducks, hamsters, mice, cats, and dogs; And I currently care for two cats and a dog of my own. Their health and happiness are my top priorities, and I hand-prepare their meals twice a day to ensure they’re getting the best nutrition possible. I believe every animal deserves attentive, personalized care, and I take pride in creating that for them. My experience isn’t limited to household pets either. I also spent 13 years in 4-H and 4 years in FFA, where I gained extensive hands-on experience working with larger livestock. Those programs taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of animal welfare, which are values I still carry with me today. I am currently enrolled as a full time student at MJC. I take online courses, however, so my schedule can be extremely flexible in the sense of choosing my hours. My two cats are free roam and are very good at enriching themselves with the provided toys and trees around the house. My dog is more codependent and prefers to be by someone’s side when he is not crated. Because of his age, we keep him crated during the night and after feeding until he is ready to use the bathroom outside to prevent accidents around the house.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of personalized care and attention I give to every pet. I treat each dog like they're my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I have experience with both energetic puppies who need structure and stimulation, as well as senior dogs who require a gentler touch and extra patience. I'm comfortable with administering medications, following specific routines, and reading body language to ensure your pet is happy and stress-free. Whether it's playtime, training, or just some good cuddle time, I adapt to what your dog needs most. I’m very flexible and I’ll always do my best to fit your needs in my schedule! I’m currently a full time deli clerk however with a 2 week notice I would happily be available to take care of your pups/home! I do not offer weekly services sorry! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I stick closely to their normal routines-feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and bedtime-to help them feel secure and at ease. In your home, I make sure to respect your space while giving your pet my full attention and care. In my home, I keep things clean, cozy, and pet-friendly, with plenty of room to play and relax. I also send regular updates and photos, so you always know your pet is in good hands.

“She is great! Really comforting to have her walk my pups. She asked all the right questions and my 3 pups came back tired only after 30 minutes so I know they got a good work out. She’s a huge help”


About: I’ve always been an animal person! I have always cared or taken care of animals ever since I can remember. From babysitting, feeding, or just potty breaks and some love ! Everything above. I am a stay at home mom so with that being said I am home all day and have all the time to love and care for your fur babies. I have a Frenchie named Memphis that is my baby and with me being able to animal sit he gets a friend with it. It’s a plus on both ends(:

Kaitlyn H.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Kaiti! She took amazing care of our two pups while we were away, giving them all the love and attention they’re used to (maybe even more!). From regular updates to thoughtful little details, Kaiti went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat your dogs like family!”


Chloe R.
“Chloe has been caring for dogs for more than 10 years. A neighbor would ask her to walk her Yorkie which I notice this Yorkie barking at young children, but it did not bark at Chloe. This dog look forward to Chloe visits and walks. She has a very calm demeanor. Eventually, the neighbor asked if Chloe could completely care for her dog while recovering from surgery. Chloe was very competent and capable to care for this dog. This dog required a specially prescribed diet. This care would last more than 6 months. After recovering from surgery, this neighbor was very happy of the care Chloe did.”

“Celia is hands down the best pet sitter we have ever had. She has cared for our beloved toy poodle, Sofie, for 5 years. They have developed a beautiful loving bond. Sofie is always so excited when we arrive at Celia's house. To our great relief, we never have to worry about Sofie's well being when we travel. Celia goes over and beyond to care for her and ensure she is comfortable and loved. Celia is extremely reliable. Your pet will love her.”

Leslie L.
“I cannot recommend Leslie Zamora highly enough. She took exceptional care of my elderly border collie, Abbey, during the final year of her life. Leslie’s love for animals is truly evident in everything she does. I never once worried when Abbey was with her—I knew she was in the best hands possible. Leslie was incredibly responsible, making sure Abbey received all her medications on time, even when they were scheduled at different points throughout the day. She was gentle, patient, and deeply compassionate—exactly the kind of person you hope to find when entrusting someone with a beloved pet. Thanks to Leslie, Abbey’s final year was filled with comfort, care, and love. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind Leslie gave me and the kindness she showed Abbey. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pet like family, Leslie is the one. 100% recommend!”


Edward T.
