About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as friends and family dogs for years now. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, as well as all personalities. I am familiar with low energy and high energy breeds, and know how to cater to each of them. I also specialize in dogs that have anxiety as well as reactivity, and know how to monitor their behavior and understand them in a way that most humans and other animals do not. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday so all animals would need to be able to be home alone for around 8-9 hours during the weekdays. I make a point to be fully available on weekends since I am away often during the weekdays, but am also home early enough during the week that I can spend the afternoon, evening, and night with your furry little ones. I will care for your pets by following the owners’ and pets’ needs, I never stray from instructions. I will ensure safety precautions are always taken, as your animals safety is my highest priority.
“Thomas seemed to keep Moon very entertained and took good care of her! See was very happy when I got back!”
“Karina and Jared did a great job looking after my 2 cats while we were away. Jared did the drop in visits to feed, water and scoop. Karina was available for any questions I had and provided help with the Rover scheduling. They kept me up to date on the cat care and were great with communication. Thanks!”
About: I have hands-on experience from my time working as a Kennel Technician, where I cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, and currently as an Animal Control Officer, working with animals in various situations. This background gives me a unique and valuable skill set for pet sitting. I’m currently working full-time, but I can accommodate drop-in visits during the week. I have plenty of time on weekends to play with your pets, ensuring they get the attention and love they deserve! In your home, I will make sure to follow your pet's routine, providing them with regular playtime, exercise, and lots of attention. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that helps your pet feel relaxed and happy while you’re away.
“Olivia is the perfect sitter!! Very caring and responsible. Always responsive and understanding and took such good care of our cat. Cannot recommend enough! Thank you Olivia!!”
“Can’t recommend Midori enough! I was nervous not only leaving my dog alone for the first time but this was my first time using Rover, and she went above and beyond to make my dog (and me) so comfortable while I was away! She met us in advance to make sure it was a fit, sent me updates every day, brought him a toy, played with him and made sure he was as happy as he could be while I was gone. Very professional, and followed my instructions without any issues. Thank you so much, we will be using you again in the future!”
“Marisa stayed at our house for more than two weeks, caring for our cat and plants. She did an exceptional job! Our cat was very content and hardly seemed to miss us, which really shows how comfortable she was with Marisa. I would recommend her to anyone, and we would be delighted to have her house sit for us again!”
“Very responsible with excellent communication and an obvious rapport with our cats. We can confidently recommend Stacey for your pet sitting needs!”

“Melissa is an A+++ choice for your next pet sitter. Not only does she have 2 dogs of her own that she loves, she has compassion for all animals through her service as an Animal Control officer. She’s been called out of her home in the worst conditions possible to go to the aid of animals in the worst of positions. Not for the small bit of pay but for her love of animals. Melissa also has extensive experience in animal training, emergency medical care and medication administering. You can’t find any better.”
