About: Fair warning: Pets are a little spoiled in my house! 😊 I've cared for animals my entire life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've cared for my own senior dog throughout her final years, large and small breed dogs, rescue kittens, and adult cats, including raising my own two cats since they were kittens. I've trained all of my own pets and understand the importance of consistency. If your pet has specific routines, commands, or training practices you'd like maintained, I'm happy to follow them closely so their progress and structure continue seamlessly while they're in my care. I have a genuine soft spot for animals, and every pet in my care receives the highest quality treatment. Whether your furry friend enjoys treats, walks, playtime, or cuddles, they'll receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care and are sure to have a great time while you're away. The day is dedicated to taking care of the fur babies. I'm available 7 days for check-ins, walks, home visits, and boarding. Let's connect and set up a time! My home is a relaxed space for cats or dogs to roam freely. My community offers a fenced in dog park and in my unit I have plenty of vertical space for your cat to rule over, including 2 cat towers and plenty of enrichment toys. I also have a catio on my balcony for some fresh air. If needed, I will separate my cats from more reactive animals while in my care.

About: I’m patient, reliable, and truly care about every dog I walk. I pay attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort so they feel safe and happy. I follow instructions closely and treat every dog like my own. I’m available for pet care in the afternoons after 3pm on weekdays, as well as all day on weekends. I offer walks, drop-ins, and boarding when you’re away on vacation. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. In my care, pets are supervised, kept on their routine, and treated gently and patiently. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to make sure the pet feels secure and comfortable.

“Lindsay is very responsive and you can tell she has a great love for dogs! She sent me several pics and updates of my boy as she watched over him. I would definitely use her again to watch over my pup in the future.”

“Hillary was great at handling all my questions since the day I was leaving my cat started having issues with his eye. She followed my snack and medicine request perfectly and made sure everything in the house was secure before she left. Both cats were happy and well taken care of.”

About: I'm Steven, a former science teacher who turned a lifelong love of animals into full-time pet care. I've cared for my own dogs for years (John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, my senior Chihuahua) and have looked after friends' and neighbors' dogs, cats, and small pets for as long as I can remember. I'm Fear Free Certified and Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and I'm fully insured and bonded. Teaching taught me patience, routine, and how to read what someone needs when they can't say it in words, which is exactly what good pet care takes. Every booking is handled personally by me, so you'll always know who's showing up at your door. I do this full-time, so your pet is a priority, not a side gig. For house sitting I keep your pet on their normal routine, same feeding times, walks, and bedtime, and I send photo and text updates throughout so you can relax while you're away. I follow feeding and medication instructions exactly (I give my own senior dog her meds on a strict schedule, so I take it seriously). Every booking starts with a free meet & greet so your pet and I are comfortable before anything is confirmed. Since I come to you, your pet stays in their own home, familiar surroundings, their own bed and yard, which keeps them calmest, especially seniors and anxious pets. I treat your home with respect: doors locked, mail brought in, plants watered if you'd like, everything left as I found it. I have two dogs of my own, John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, a senior Chihuahua, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior care.

“Taylor is the best. She came to meet my puppy before taking the job which I loved. She is awesome and my Chihuahua, King Olaf, was a happy puppy upon my return so I know Taylor took very good care of him. Thank you!”

“Amelia did everything I told her to do and even stayed a little longer!”

“Joseph always goes above and beyond as a pet sitter. He is an incredibly good communicator and I know that my dog is being well loved and taken care of under Joseph’s care. My dog is very active and still has lots of puppy energy, but Joseph remains patient with him and makes sure that my dog can safely get his energy out.”

Paulina C.

“LisaLeigh really helped us out when we were in a bind. She was communicative and took great care of our two pups for the night. I will absolutely be calling her again!”

About: QUALITY NOT QUANTITY. I DO NOT TAKE A LOT OF DOGS and CATS AS WELL. If your dog chews please let me know, as I will find out and I do not want any misunderstandings. I cannot take destructive dogs any longer. I devote all my time to the pets that stay with me. Just see my reviews. You will not find anyone as devoted or experienced or as loving. My years of experience have benefited others. Any dog that stays with me will receive all of my attention. I also ask that client's do not bring their own blankets, toys, bowls, etc. As I have plenty and prefer to use my own. Also, dogs can become possessive of their own toys so I have 'communal' toys for all to enjoy equally. All my time is devoted to my dogs and cats and those that are in my care. I am a vet tech and groomer over 20 yrs. Extremely safe. Fenced in yard, never left alone. Walk on strong lead if owner wishes. I can give medicines, injections, etc. I have cared for dogs and cats with cancer, diabetes and more. I work part-time from home as a consultant. Therefore, I am here 98% of the time. Dogs aren't left unattended. Very safe here, very accommodating. I am now going forward as to not take dogs with separation anxiety and/or destructive behaviors. Although I dealt with this when my ex-husband and I ran a training and boarding facility for 15 yrs; I cannot take dogs with extreme behavioral issues. I do know other sitters that will on and off Rover, if this is your dog I can refer. I work from home. They dogs are not left unattended. They are always supervised and observed throughout stay. I actively engage with them to ensure a happy time. Front and back yards fully fenced in. Inescapable property. Able to run and play, at intervals throughout the day. Never outside unattended, always supervised and observed. Cats are always kept inside.

About: I will take care of your dogs as if they were mine. I will become your doggos bff until your back home! I will also make sure to send lots of pictures :) I will be available on weekends and week nights. It would be very important to me to meet your dog before sitting so they know me before sitting. I do not have any pets. I recently lost my beautiful Choco to cancer. He was a beautiful brown golden doodle but looked more like a brown golden retriever. I have a small fenced yard and the neighborhood I am in is very quiet and pet friendly.

“Katherine was great! She took care of my cat like she was her own! She was extremely communicative and doesn’t hesitate to ask questions if needed. I’m grateful Katherine could pet sit for me so I could relax while I was away.”

“Janine was excellent! My apt access is complicated and she was so patient with me and the instructions. Will definitely reach out to her again for cat sitting in the future.”

About: Dogs have always been much more than pets to me they’re genuinely one of my biggest interests. Along with caring for my own dog, I have professional experience working at a dog boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, routines, and energy levels. I’m especially interested in canine wellness, enrichment, and nutrition. With my own dog, I enjoy making homemade treats, preparing enrichment activities, and finding creative ways to keep him happy, active, and engaged. I bring that same level of attention to the dogs I care for. Whether I’m walking your dog, checking in, or staying with them, I want their time with me to actually add something positive to their day not just meet the bare minimum. * Extended stays: Additional charges apply when pickup extends the start time on the first night of the stay. 2–8 extra hours: $22.50 (50% of my $45 rate) More than 8 extra hours: $45 (100% of my rate) * Additional Care Requirements: My standard boarding rate covers routine feeding, walks, companionship, and everyday supervision. Dogs requiring substantial additional care, including frequent indoor accidents, repeated diaper changes, extensive cleaning or laundry, or other time intensive assistance, may incur an additional care fee starting at $10 per day. The final rate will depend on the level of care required and will be discussed and agreed upon before the booking is confirmed. Please disclose all relevant care requirements in advance so I can determine whether I’m able to accommodate your dog safely and comfortably. Mild additional cleanup or supervision +$10/day Frequent accidents, diaper changes, and additional laundry +$15–$20/day Extensive cleanup and unusually demanding care +$25/day or a custom quote * Last-Minute Bookings: Bookings requested less than 48 hours before drop-off will be subject to an additional fee based on availability and the arrangements required. Any additional fee will be communicated and agreed upon before the booking is confirmed. 20% of $45 = $9 extra per night My schedule is flexible, which allows me to make plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine for walks, feeding, playtime, and check ins. I can also discuss specific times and availability depending on what you and your pet need. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, especially in your own home. I’ll always follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, boundaries, or routines. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was ten. I love being around them too. My family had relied on me throughout the years to be sure to be responsible. I currently own a fitness business, so my schedule is pretty lenient. I live alone so I can take care of a lot during my day. I have a park outside my apartment along with a rooftop and I live alone so the door will always be locked when needed :)

“Sindy was GREAt! Friendly and Very responsive, flexible about timing and last minute needs! She sent us adorable pictures of Loki during her stay <3 We glad we met her and definitely recommend ;)”

“Gabriella was awesome for our furbabies! She was super communicative and sent a lot of pictures during each of her visits. We felt very comfortable leaving 3 cats and 2 dogs to her care and would highly recommend her 😊”
