“Camille is absolutely amazing! Never have to worry about our little pack when we have her with them. They absolutely love her too!! Thank you so much for always taking such good care of our guys!”

“Hoai has done drop in visits for us while out of town multiple times now and we always know our dogs are in good hands. It was rainy this past visit so she couldn’t play with them as much in the backyard but she still made sure to give them lots of love.”

“Llana is amazing! She has went above and beyond to take care of my precious Labrador puppy when I am away during the day. She gives extra care, attention and always excellent feedback to further his care. Her photos are picture perfect! My puppy loves her and she has helped so much!”

About: Since I was a kid, I have enjoyed spending as much time as I can with animals. In fact, one of my greatest joys is being with animals. My grandfather (who was a farmer for part of his life) impressed upon me the importance of caring for animals. I consider your pets my family. I have 9 years experience owning and working with a variety of pets including rats, cats, dogs, and tortoises! I have experience working with pets with anxiety and other special needs. My favorite part of drop ins & walks is the satisfaction of knowing I made a difference in your furry friend’s day. I have a calm and friendly demeanor, and I have great rapport with dogs and cats. I make it a point to read and interpret dog & cat body language. I have worked with skittish cats who warmed up to me. I love playing with cats and dogs alike, and understand how important it is for your friend to have his or her play time. If your pet has a favorite toy, let me know. I will cook or prepare raw food per your instructions if this is your preference. My availability is as follows: Mon-Sunday morning and/or evenings. May be able to do noon or afternoon. I want to do what you do, so I will take note of your walk or routine. Does your dog like brisk walks or slow walks, do they like to go to a nearby park or prefer walking in your neighborhood? Do you like to mix it up with a new spot each time? I strongly urge all bookings to have a meet & greet before the booking date in order to see how your pet takes to me. Special note: occasionally, the Rover app may estimate your distance from me being up to 5 or 6 miles off. This occasionally happens depending on where the client entered the information or where they were when they booked. I may ask you for general cross streets or zip code before I confirm a booking to ensure I will be able to accommodate your dog or cat. For bookings that are more than 10 miles distance, I do charge a $4 gas fee per booking. I treat your home with respect. I strive for cleanliness, and I take precautions to ensure the healthiest environment for you and your pet. This includes sanitizing my hands before entering your home, and washing my hands before pet feeding and watering. I am a weekend sitter. I am available on weekends. Do you want to get away for the weekend or need to catch up on extra work or phone calls? Do want your dog to have a good walk and time as well? Reach out to me. I am available on the weekends! On weekdays, I cannot guarantee availability on all days, but I am occasionally available in the mornings and evenings if I am all caught up on my lesson planning. While I cannot guarantee full availability on all weekdays, feel free and ask! *note: I charge a $5 travel fee if outside my service radius to account for gas and time. I currently am unable to have animals at my place of residence. This is one of the reasons I love taking care of your dog or cat so I can have some interaction with them.
“Dawn is truly an angel. I cannot express how grateful I am for her care and support during an urgent medical emergency with my dog while I was out of town. She acted quickly, communicated clearly every step of the way, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was safe, cared for, and seen by her vet promptly. She was incredibly attentive, compassionate, and calm under pressure — exactly the kind of person you hope to have supporting your pet in a stressful situation. Dawn didn’t hesitate to step in, rearrange her schedule, help with cleanup, and advocate for my dog’s well-being as if she were her own. I trust her completely and am deeply thankful for everything she did. I highly, highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for someone who is reliable, caring, and truly invested in the animals she looks after.”

“Jennifer was absolutely amazing and left us not having to worry about our 3 kitties while we were away for the holidays. She took care of our house too and sent so many daily pictures and updates of everyone. We were happy to come home and just be with our cute kitties since everything was taken care of. Thank you again Jennifer, we will definitely be using you again!”

About: Hi, I’m Samantha—your pet’s new favorite human. My friends voted me “Most Likely to Come Home from a Girls Weekend with a Dog,” and I wear that title proudly. I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—from horses and dogs on my grandparents’ farm to fostering pets and building cat walls in my spare time. I speak fluent cat and dog (yes, I understand the slow blink and the “where are you?” meow). I’m upbeat, funny, and dependable—and I’ll treat your fur-kids like family. When Auntie Samantha visits, pets get greeted first. It’s not personal—it’s priorities. I aim to build respectful, lasting partnerships with pet parents, and I’ll keep you updated with pics and notes so you always know your pet is safe, loved, and maybe a little spoiled. Since I work from home and for myself, my work schedule is very flexible. I enjoy helping others care for their four legged kids, since I remember never having enough time when I was younger. Our fur kids are very used to new siblings coming in the home. We have been fostering for PACT FOR ANIMALS for years. They provide foster homes for military personnel.
About: I have taken care of different types of dogs throughout my life. I love to take care of my best friends t two wiener dog pups when she’s out of town and when she’s in town. I love getting all the puppy loves. Pet care is a natural part of my routine. I prioritize feeding, exercise, grooming, and companionship daily, ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I have my kitties on a good feeding routine and they get lots of playtime together. They always have good treats, lots of brushing, and lots of hugs. I will follow any routine. You’d like me to do and try to spoil your pets as much as I can as you would.
“Caroline showed up on time and was very attentive to my 3 cats needs. She even came over and met them prior to her visits. Best of all my cats love her and we’re out for pets even though they are very shy and skittish. She is definitely great with pets.”

I have booked with Laurie twice now, and each experience has been wonderful. We were gone for three weeks, and I’m so thankful she came to check on the kitties. She leaves such good reports and always communicates really well, which is great when you’re on a trip. I plan to always book her for any future trip 😊

Anran is the BEST cat sitter you can hire! She is nice, pacient and responsible. She always sent us lots of pictures and videos of our cat and was very detailed in her messages letting us know how he was and what he was doing when she visited. Our cat is very nervous and usually hides when a stranger visits, however, when Anran came to meet him the first time he warmed up to her right away. Don't think it twice, Anran is the BEST sitter for your pet. She will treat your furry friend like it was her own.
Nikki has helped us multiple times now, and every single experience has been exceptional. She takes such loving, attentive care of our cat that he is genuinely happy and relaxed when we return. This time we were away for a full month, and it was obvious that he was truly adored and spoiled with fun and special treats 🐱💛 It gives us complete peace of mind knowing Nikki is with him. She is reliable, thoughtful, and clearly does this from the heart. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for truly excellent pet care. ✨

Jennifer was absolutely amazing and left us not having to worry about our 3 kitties while we were away for the holidays. She took care of our house too and sent so many daily pictures and updates of everyone. We were happy to come home and just be with our cute kitties since everything was taken care of. Thank you again Jennifer, we will definitely be using you again!

Rose is amazing! She did everything I asked and more! She dropped in on our pets while we were away and made sure to send us lots of photos and even brought our packages in for us as well! Rose is very trustworthy and responsible, she’s also a great communicator and so sweet with our pets! We will definitely hire her for all animal care in the future! 🎊
Darian has been an amazing dog sitter and walker for Belle. She is reliable, caring, and clearly loves what she does. Belle is always excited to see her and comes home happy and well exercised. Her updates and attention to detail give me total peace of mind. I highly recommend Darian to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog. I will definitely be using her again every time we leave town if she is available. Thanks Darian!
