“Jenna has been amazing caring for our pets. Great communicator, very thorough and the pets adore her. We love to see the photos she sends during visits and they look so happy. highly recommended.”


“Karina went above and beyond. Highly recommend ☺️”


“Justin did an amazing job with our doggy Brodi, she took to him right away. He was extremely accommodating and very kind (fit us in on super short notice). 10/10 definitely would recommend him!! Thanks Justin!”


“Reagan was amazing to us and to our dogs. This was our first time using Rover and she made us feel very comfortable. Communication was great and she updated us with photos daily. The dogs seemed really happy and well taken care of when we got home this evening so they obviously loved her too! We also had a couch that was unexpectedly delivered while we were away and she managed to get the heavy boxes inside without us even asking her to. So sweet! I can’t recommend her enough and will be using her anytime we go out of town in the future if she is available!”


“Jo F. Has been consistently available and friendly. Visits always include photos, and Jo has been quick to communicate any issues (like a tricky patio lock). I will have Jo take care of my cats as long as they are willing.”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, my house wouldn’t be a home without our pups, they are very well loved & couldn’t imagine our lives without dogs! Specialize in big dogs! Have had Mastiff’s 24+ years! I’m currently a stay @ home mom looking to make some extra money while my kids are in school & I love animals so I figured it’d be a great way to make some money! I can walk your dog to the park or around the block, also if your pet had any special needs I’d be more than happy to help out with that as well!!

“Kristin was great! You could tell right away that she cared about doing the job right and got along great with our dogs. It’s not easy leaving your dogs behind when going on a trip but she sent a lot of pictures each visit and it was clear they were having a good time! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kristin to anyone.”


“Very reliable and caring!”


“First time using Rover for our two cats and Linda earned our and “our kids’ “ trust right away! At the meet and greet it was apparent she put the pets interest first and had compassion for owners worry while traveling away. With twice a day visits, she gave them so much affection and entertainment and even brought an extra blanket since it was an extended cold spell. One cat is extremely shy and easily spooked - usually hiding under the bed for sitters - but he came out for her and socialized. The photos from every visit put us at ease. Linda was diligent and attentive to our instructions. Food, litter, water, cat love, and extras like mail and garbage - she gave extra attention. The house was immaculate when we returned. We Highly recommend Linda.”


“Kayleigh is hands down the best dog sitter/walker of all time. She is very timely, organized, communicates well and truly loves my dog George. He knows her name and gets so excited with I tell him she is coming by today. I have referred her to many of my coworkers and friends.”

About: As a deeply empathetic and compassionate mental health professional, I am dedicated to providing exceptional pet sitting services that cater to the emotional and physical well-being of your pets. With a Doctorate degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in Counseling with internship training in animal-assisted modalities, I bring a unique blend of expert care and emotional insight to my role. Throughout my post-graduate internship, I gained invaluable experience working with therapy animals to assist children and adults, enhancing their emotional and social well-being. This role not only deepened my expertise in animal behavior and welfare but also reinforced my natural inclinations for empathy and understanding, allowing me to connect with animals in a profound and meaningful way. In my professional pet sitting services, I apply these traits by ensuring each pet receives nurturing attention, recognizing their individual needs and adjusting care accordingly. I strive to create a comforting and stimulating environment, where your pets feel understood, cared for, and safe. I am prepared for both short-term and long-term assignments, passionately committed to offering your pets a loving and attentive experience. I work remotely and have a moderately flexible schedule with a few set tasks throughout. Depending on location and need, I can be somewhat flexible. I prioritize creating a nurturing and safe environment whether at my home or a client's home. I leverage my background in psychology and animal-assisted therapy to understand and cater to the unique emotional and physical needs of each pet. This includes maintaining a structured routine with regular feeding, exercise, and playtime to keep pets active and engaged. I also provide constant companionship and emotional support, ensuring that pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved in their temporary environment. My approach is flexible and adaptable, designed to meet the specific requirements of each pet and the preferences of their owners.
