About: I know how hard it is to leave your fur baby home alone. One of the biggest concerns pet owners have is trust: Will my sitter be careful? Will my pet be safe and loved? That’s exactly what I offer—peace of mind. I’m dependable, no-nonsense, and I’ll treat your pet like family. I care for animals of all kinds, from yappers to deep howlers, shy cats to cuddle monsters, and even our little loves like guinea pigs and fish. Whether your dog needs a long walk, a game of fetch, or just quiet companionship, I’m there. And when it comes to feline royalty, I respect boundaries and give love on their terms. Services include: * Dog walking & playtime * Cat care & companionship * Feeding, medication, litter & cleanup * Daily check-ins or overnight stays * Lots of love, attention, and belly rubs Hi, I’m Annie! I’m a 35-year-old union plumber by trade and a lifelong animal lover with a heart full of care and compassion. I work from 6am to 2:30pm M-F I’m available to drop in anytime after 3pm during the week. Weekends are open. I don’t drink or smoke, and I take pet care seriously—your furry (or scaly, feathered, or hooved) family members will be treated like my own! I currently care for two beloved chihuahuas, including one senior pup who is deaf and requires daily medication, so I’m very experienced with elder pets and special needs. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from fish to steers and just about everything in between. Whether it’s walks, feeding, medication, playtime, or just good company, I offer dependable and loving care while you’re away.

“Francine did and amazing job and was very helpful by takin our fur baby, Nube, for a walk early in the morning while we were at work these past 2 days. She was extra careful since Nube is wearing her spay suit. Nube warm up to her really fast and we will be considering Francine for future services!”
“This is our first time using Rover Drop-in Home Visit option and initially was not reluctant in doing so for many reasons. Ms Katherine right away scheduled a meet up beforehand with us and Chewie, without even us asking for it, before finalising our needs. She right away bonded with Chewie at the same time made us more reluctant in choosing our service option. We are very very fortunate to have Ms. Katherine take care of one of our family member, Chewie. Ms. Katherine made sure our needs are met, and most specially Chewie’s needs and wants. She treated Chewie as her own, going above and beyond expectations. She also communicated as much to keep us updated. Even though we only chose the Drop-In Home service option, we would definitely make her our priority and first choice, if needed, to take care of Chewie both as drop-in visit, boarding, or other care needs. We appreciate Ms Katherine and most definitely pleasure to have found and meet her. We highly recommended Ms Katherine from our family.”
“Anahi was great with our pup, took cute pictures and sent updates regarding the drop-in visits and how everything was going! She was communicative and prompt, and is super sweet! Thank you again Anahi! We know Minshew is excited to see you again 😊”
About: Hi ya! I've been a pet owner since I was a little kid. I've been around all different breeds, sizes and ages, and have yet to meet a doggy I didn't like. I currently work remotely in a spacious clean apartment. Although I don't have my own companion at the moment, I am able to spend time assisting others with their pet's needs. I think the most important thing is that these family members feel loved and get the attention they deserve. Thank you! I work from home in a project based job. I can work from anywhere as long as my laptop can come along. It’s just me on my own for most of the day so I have plenty of time to step away and keep an eye on any furry friends. I live in a second story apartment with a small patio. For the most part, pets would remain inside supervised. On walks, this small community has plenty of yardage, away from busy streets and high traffic areas.
About: Your pet will feel right at home with me and my friendly dog Loki! I offer calm, patient care—especially for anxious pups—and have experience in training and behavior to ensure happy, well-adjusted pets. I share my space with Loki, my friendly and playful pup who loves making new dog friends. I’m available for walks after 4 PM when it’s cooler outside. I closely supervise play to ensure your pet’s safety. I have a large, comfortable crate for rest, and your pet will receive lots of praise and treats as we train and play together.
About: Hi! I'm Mitzi I have a true passion for caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. My top priority is creating a comfortable, secure, and safe environment for your furrr baby while you're away.

I work part time and am available on weekdays during mornings and mid days. However, some evenings can be arranged if discussed in advanced :) I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, stick to the pet’s routine, give plenty of love and attention, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise, play, and rest.
About: I have a wide range of experiences and skills ranging from puppies and kittens to senior dogs that need medication and reptiles that need constant humidity. I am a professional house and pet sitter as my main source of income so I'm available to dedicate as much time as needed to your pets and furry family members. This is what I do! I watch pets and homes 24/7/365. Never hesitate to reach out for last minute needs or extended stays in your home with or without defined end dates.

About: Took some time off Rover but I am back and so excited to be back! My whole life I grew up with dogs, very big dog lover. I live right by many dog parks and trails & I have my own car so I am able to get to places on time and safely. I like going out and exploring new trails and parks, so your dog would never get bored of staying in. Your dog will get full attention, belly rubs, fetching games, and will be very good taken care of! I will watch your dog and take care of your dog like if they were my own. If your dog and I are a great match than I am always willing to do a re-book! I am currently full time with Rover so I am available weekdays and weekends. Which is really nice because this allows me to give your pet the full care and attention they need. For in-home boarding, I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment. They get plenty of attention, exercise, and follow their regular feeding and medication schedules. For visits to a client’s home, I maintain the pet’s routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. I also keep clients updated with messages and photos to ensure peace of mind.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, I’ve always loved taking care of them and currently my partner and I have two cats and an elderly dog. I have taken care of both cats and dogs with medical needs in the past, and am comfortable with medication admin for both. I love all animals and would love to hang out with yours!! I work 3 days a week so I’m available at all kinds of weird hours for walks or drop ins! Unfortunately I cannot board animals in my home at this time but am flexible and able to come to you.

“Toni was awesome. She made sure to get a meet and greet in despite our last minute booking request, and was 100% on with our needs. Took great care of our lil guy who managed to get into some stuff while we were gone. Contacted the vet and ensured everything was okay, and updated ya with every step. She was sweet to our guy and gave him plenty of cuddles while we were gone. Great care for our guy.”

Annie A.
“If you need a pet sitter who is reliable, responsible and caring, you won't find a better person than Annie. Annie has cared for our 2 elderly Corgis for their entire lives when we travel, or are otherwise unable to be at home to meet their needs. One is on a special diet, and both take medication. I trust her 100% to feed and medicate them properly. She is also very alert to changes in their health status. Our dogs love her, and get excited when we say her name. We never worry when they are in her care. Annie is a dog lover herself, and she won't let you or your pets down.”

“She did fantastic! Was very polite and respectful, and I know my dogs had a great time with her. Would 10/10 book again!”
Irania N.
“Irania will be an amazing dog sitter and any dog will be lucky to be under her care. She is an extremely kind, dedicated, and responsible young lady. For as long as I can remember I have always seen Irania caring for a pet. She seems very comfortable with animals and knows how to attend to their needs...and the pups love her! From a very young age she was responsible for pets. Given that she is the youngest in her family the pets always became her responsibility. She would play with them, walk them, groom them, and cuddle with them at night. Her last dog was literally obsessed with her. He would refuse to let anybody get on her bed besides him and he would attempt to run away from home when Irania was at school. Aside from caring for her pets, Irania would also manage to care for her family. She has helped raise her 8 year old nephew from the moment he was born and he absolutely adores her. She is a very responsible and caring person and any pet (or child) would be lucky to have her as a sitter.”
Olivia B.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Olivia to take care of my dog Scout, and I couldn't be happier. She provided attentive, loving care and went above and beyond to ensure Scout was happy and comfortable. Communication was excellent, and I received regular updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely be using Oliva in the near future and highly recommend her to any pet owner looking for reliable and compassionate care for their furry family members!”
Kimberly R.
“Kimberly is truly amazing with dogs! She’s gentle, dependable, and always goes the extra mile to make sure pups are happy, safe, and well cared for.”

Julissa took excellent care of my boy, checked in everyday, sent me pictures, notified me when she spotted some fleas and even offered to administer some medicine. She cleaned out his litter box, gave him treats and lots of attention, just what he needed while I was away. Highly recommend her services and will definitely try to book with her again next time I have to go out of town.
Sam goes above and beyond with your pet. She is so kind and attentive with our puppy and teaches her new tricks! She took away all of the stresses of leaving your puppy alone for the first time. Our puppy is so happy and relaxed when we get home. I can't recommend her enough.
Deborah was always on time with the drop ins and has amazing communication, she stopped by more than once before the booking to make sure everything would go smoothly when she was looking after my dog, very thoughtful of my dog and made sure she stayed comfortable and happy and her pup solana is an added bonus she is very sweet and a calming presence!

Stephanie is amazing. She is very attentive and caring when watching my dog and provides great communication throughout the day with lots of updates and photos. My dog is getting older and she also helped to be sure he received all his medications as prescribed. She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, safe and well taken care while I was away and I could not be more grateful! I will absolutely be using Stephanie again in the future!
Savannah is incredible! We have three cats, one has diabetes and she ensured he had his medications promptly. She came twice a day to feed and play with our babies while we were out of the country. It was wonderful to not stress at all while being on vacation, we had the best caretaker for our cats! She sent so many photos, which I loved and gave them ample play time. Our cats can get stressed when we leave and act out but there was zero stress this time for them. Our home looked better than when we left - cat boxes immaculate, no hairballs/vomit/potty accidents and kitties bowls cleaned after each feeding. I cannot recommend Savannah enough!! Ten stars, we will be booking for future trips with Savannah. Thank you for giving them so much love and attention 💞😻🙏🏽
