“Emma dogsat for us for several days and did a wonderful job with our two little ones fone of whom is extremely ambivalent about strangers, but fell in love with her right away)! I felt totally comfortable with her taking care of our babies while we were gone. She was kind, reliable, very responsive, and flexible when my drop-ins changed due to a last minute flight delay. She even helped keep our beloved plants alive! So happy we found someone we can trust with our fur babies while we’re away!”
“Sarah saved my behind! She was able to come last minute and spend some time with my dog during the day. He was able to get his exercise and a some cuddles as well. Thank you!”

In my home, the dogs are fed twice a day with treats between feedings. Everyday we make sure to get in a long walk and or a game of fetch for some daily exercise

About: I’ve been caring for my own dogs as well as pets of family and friends since a young age, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I treat every pet as if they were my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My dog is friendly, well-socialized, and enjoys playing with other pets. With your permission, I’m also happy to provide high-quality photos during each visit, so you can see your pet happy and content. I currently work full-time in a hybrid position, which means I’m home about 3 out of 5 weekdays. I’m also available most weekends and enjoy spending time outdoors. During the warmer months, I often take my dog to the dog park for play and exercise. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship, whether we're relaxing at home or enjoying time outside. I do my best to ensure each pet feels safe, happy, and part of the family during their stay. I have an open, unfenced yard, so for safety, all pets will be leashed while outside. We also have a spacious deck where your pet can relax and enjoy the summer breeze. Inside the home, your pet will be free to roam and play under supervision. My own dog is friendly and happy to provide companionship if your pet enjoys socializing. I have a medium-sized crate available if needed, and plenty of toys to keep your pet engaged. Fresh water will always be available, and your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities.
About: Animals have my heart! I have grown up with dogs, and in my adults years had multiple cats. I have a 2.5 year old German Shepard that I have had since she was 8 weeks old. Living in a condo has given me the opportunity to get outside, leash train, and help my girl grow! I am comfortable with large dogs, small dogs, old dogs, young dogs. All dogs are the best :) Flexible schedule — full time student online so I am available majority of the time to walk, visit, and sit. Whether it’s for one-off help, or for regular help, I’m available to care for your dogs. I leash walk my own dog and am familiar with the local parks and trails that I bring my own dog too as well. I can come to you, bring your pet in my car if you wish to have them go for a visit to a park, flexible around any and all needs

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life — growing up with dogs and cats taught me not just how to care for them, but how to truly understand them. For the past 7 years, I worked as a personal assistant, and part of my role included caring for clients’ pets — from daily walks to feeding, driving to appointments, and giving them plenty of love and attention. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to two dogs and two cats, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members.

Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I’m flexible and can accommodate walks, visits, or overnight stays on weekdays and weekends. Since I have a flexible schedule, I’m available to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, playtime, and meals. Whether it’s a quick midday walk or longer sessions, I make sure every pet feels loved and cared for according to their individual needs. I take pet safety and trust very seriously, whether caring for pets in my home or theirs. My home is pet-friendly, clean, and secure, with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I make sure all pets feel comfortable and safe by maintaining familiar routines and giving them plenty of supervision. When visiting a client’s home, I follow all their instructions carefully and treat their space and pets with the utmost respect. I’m attentive to any special needs, health concerns, or behavioral cues to ensure every pet feels calm and cared for. Open communication with pet owners is important to me — I provide regular updates and am always available to address any questions or concerns to give owners peace of mind.

Lucy M.
“Lucy Moran is an experienced and compassionate caretaker of animals. She is loving, reliable, and attentive to every animal's individual needs and personal quirks. Lucy is a natural, no matter the type of animal, and makes it her goal to provide the upmost care for each furry friend she meets along the way. I have worked with Lucy for 3 years, but it only takes 3 seconds to see that this person has a deep love for animals. Some might say she loves them more than people... Lucy personally has taken care of a wide array of dogs and cats. Her best friend, Joey, suffered from an affliction of seizures. Lucy made sure that he was always properly medicated, and in addition to that, went through a great deal of paperwork to correctly process all of his insurance claims. Lucy bolsters animals' spirits as much as she takes care of their physical needs. She is always chatting and spending time with her animals, and routinely makes sure that they are groomed and exercised. Lucy will sleep on the couch if her pup Roxy looks comfortable on the bed. Not the dog bed (one of several), but the bed made for humans. After all, according to Lucy, Roxy "gets what she wants when she wants it,". While Lucy can sometimes be blinded by her love of all critters, she never misses a beat when an animal is in trouble. Lucy has had experience dealing with various issues animals may encounter: seizures, insect bites, dry pallet syndrome, feeding necessities (both of medical necessity and personal preference), grooming schedules and maintenance, sound-based discomfort, and many more. She is always on the lookout to make sure the animals in her care are as carefree as can be. Lucy will not rest if there is an animal who is not 100% A-OK! While it may sound cliche, the ease that you feel entrusting your furry friends in her care will only be eclipsed by her love of your pets. Lucy will truly love caring for and getting to know your furry family and friends as much as you do. I suspect that for her, the most rewarding part of the Rover experience will be making many new friends. Lastly, Lucy is in general a bright light that radiates with warmth, empathy, and love. Please consider Lucy for all your pet-related needs and wants. Take care.”

I highly recommend Kiera. She was responsible, trustworthy, and thoughtful. She went above and beyond. Our shy cat even came out to meet Kiera several times while we were away, which was a testimony in itself. Kiera sent pics of her petting Rosie, which was reassuring.
