About: I’ve grown up around dogs, so pet care is almost second nature to me! I have experience with senior dogs, administering medication, and puppies. During each visit I make sure your pet feels loved through playtime and cuddles! I am attentive to food and water and make sure to send updates of your pet. While I do have a flexible schedule, I may be unavailable after 4pm on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, but I’m often able to work around this. I care for pets in their own home, where they are most comfortable. I follow all owner instructions closely and am happy to brush, give treats, etc. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes and prioritize their safety by sticking to routines, following instructions, and using proper leash control.
About: I'd love to be your cat's new friend! I honestly just love hanging out with cats—and with 2 of my own, I also know how to take care of them. I adore them all, whether they're cuddle-bugs or scaredy-cats. I'm a patient person, so I'm willing to put in the time to earn a cat's trust. I also previously had a senior cat who developed cancer, so I have experience taking care of older cats and giving medical care. I've cared for the cats of my neighbors, friends, and family with great success. Whether you have a young cat or a senior cat, I'll give them the level of care they require—and deserve! Always available on weekends! (Check my calendar for exact dates.) On Mondays and Fridays, my schedule is flexible with more availability. For Tuesday through Thursday, I can do drop-in visits in the evenings after 6 p.m. I'm conscious of the fact that a cat's home is their safe space, so I'll interact with them on their own terms. If they like to cuddle and play, then we'll cuddle and play! But if they don't, I'll give them their space. And I'll always feed your cat, refresh their water, and clean the litter box according to your instructions.
About: I've loved dogs since childhood and have hands-on experience raising a Maltese, Bichon Frise, Poodle, and Golden Retriever from puppyhood to adulthood. Each breed taught me something different — from grooming needs to energy levels — and helped me become a patient, confident, and caring pet caregiver. I offer a few special skills that make me stand out (in English and Chinese): Potty spot training (定点尿尿训练) Brushing and de-matting dog fur (狗毛开结) Basic training like “shake hands” (握手训练) Home full-time. Your dog will get 3–4 walks a day and plenty of outdoor time in my backyard. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine, offer cuddles, playtime, and send you regular photo updates so you know they’re happy and safe. Whether your dog is playful or shy, I adapt quickly to their personality and treat them like part of the family! Home full-time.

“Talia did a great job for us! She even brought in our packages which weren’t supposed to be delivered when she was there! Gabby warmed up to her at the greeting, which is not a normal thing for Gabby!”
“My cat seems happy and the house is in order. When I met Teagan she couldn't have been sweeter. I will definitely book Teagan again.”
“Maura does a great job caring for Sammy. Always arrives on time and is a pleasant person to interact with.”
About: I’ve loved dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Unable to have a dog growing up, I always jumped at any opportunity to pet sit for my neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve cared for a variety of dog breeds (including boxers, pit bulls, huskies), and occasionally cats as well. I have experience with “Bully Breeds” and they are honestly my favorite big babies to love on. I’m currently out on med leave from my usual “day job” as an RN at DH d/t my narcolepsy. I’m basically home 24/7 and available most of the time. I’m flexible with time, I can stop by even in the middle of the night if you’re a fellow night shifter unable to stop home to let your doggos out! I would be open to discussing house-sitting and other service options, and how we could work something out as my pup is basically attached at the hip lol :) The first time I used Rover, I was honestly nervous to not only have a stranger in my home, but to also trust them with my fur baby, Abbey. I understand the feeling and will make my visits ease that anxiety any way possible. I treat other’s homes with respect (I grew up in a take you shoes off when you walk in the door type home). I treat other’s pets with the same love and care as I do my own. I can provide updates, photos, videos, anything that will make you feel at ease that your pet and home are in the best of hands.
“Thank you, Kristin! Everything was done as requested. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing our cat was well taken care of. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again.”

About: I have a 12-year-old English bulldog, so I’m very familiar with caring for dogs of all ages, including seniors.

Madison P.
“Madison (Maddy) Procter is an extremely reliable and generous person who loves and respects animals. Not too long ago, Maddy dog-sat my extremely needy and energetic chihuahua, Beau, while I was out of town for the weekend. Maddy text me with constant updates on how Beau was handling the adjustment of me being away for the first time. She even asked me questions and took note of Beau’s daily routine, typical sleeping arrangements, and general likes/dislikes so that she could ensure he was getting the proper amount of attention and exercise while under her care. Maddy is extremely professional and offers her clients unwavering diligence and constant supervision of their beloved pets. I would recommend Maddy to dog-sit for anyone. I will definitely be requesting Maddy’s services in the future.”
