About: Because I’m here to take care of everybody else’s kids. My name is Amaya, I have been caring for all kinds of animals for about 10 years now. It all started when I moved in with my best friend in high school, her and her mother at that time had dogs, cats, rats, tortoises, a frog, etc. After graduating high school, she started working at an animal rescue near our house and quickly became a manager. Over the years I helped her care for all of the animals she brought home, and now that we no longer live together, I’ve found that I miss the excitement that caring for animals brings to life. I figured I could spend my extra time where it’s needed. I work full time and can watch pets over the weekend or go for walks before or after work. I work M-F my schedule varies for now I can care for pets in your home however is necessary, I am able to easily crate dogs or corral cats if needed. Very used to using gates and keeping doors shut if necessary as well
“Hannah is wonderful! She is great with our high-energy dog and gets him lots of exercise in at each visit. She was also amazing with our guinea pig! Hannah is very responsive and keeps us updated about each visit. Would highly recommend her!”
“Grace was wonderful! She was able to take care of my cat on fairly short notice over Christmas. She was even gracious in working with me when I missed our first meet & greet appointment. My cat was well taken care of and Grace shared pictures for the visit. Looking forward to booking with her again.”
“Kurt was great with our dogs. He was prompt on letting us know when he arrived and left. Always gave us an update with some pictures of the dogs. We would definitely use him again in the future”

About: I am living on-Island until November and I am happy to care for dogs, cats, or any other pets (i have yet to meet an animal i don’t like!) . I have a flexible schedule and will do my best to accommodate for whatever needs may be present. I am currently not working so for the most part I have an open schedule. I am flexible and willing to work with individuals to best fit their needs. I am not able to care for pets in my own home, but at clients homes I will play with the animal, just spend time with them, feed them if needed, walk them and of course provide lots of love.
“This was our first experience with Rover and to say the least, we were quite nervous. Reaching out to Jamie, scheduling a 'meet & greet' before she 'Dropped-In' with Duke, and lastly, the constant communication/updates that she provided had eased our nerves and replaced them with confidence that we had chosen the right person. Jamie had arrived at the agreed-upon time, sent descriptive updates & pictures of our lab, and also went above and beyond to accommodate Dukes/Our needs. Overall, I highly suggest and recommend Jamie to anyone looking to care for your fur-baby while you are away.”
About: With being surrounded by family and friends who are vet techs & pet clinic staff, I have had experience with dogs & cats for a very long time. I absolutely adore animals and have always wanted to make it my job to go above and beyond and give all the love to fur babies so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. This is professionally my third year. With being an active girl, I love to go on walks, hike, go for drives & listen to music. Pet sitting is very compatible with my personality and routine. When I visit a home or stay with a pet, I make sure to follow every instruction to keep the dog, or cat, in the same routine so the animal is as comfortable as possible. It is important to me to not disrupt the normal for an animal and keep them feeling loved and safe. ♥️
About: Hello! My preferred names to go by is Max as you might see in my testimonials! I volunteered at an animal sanctuary that had chickens, geese, swans, goats, horses, & alpacas. I have experience in dog sitting & grooming every kind of breed. I took care of ferrets as well! Cute little guys running through tubes. I have a ton of experience cat sitting as well. I even briefly worked at a cat cafe! I also have 2 of my own. Litter boxes don’t scare me! I would never force any kind interactions based off of any of the animals behaviors, unless if they would want that! I’m all about approaching with love, patience, & playfulness! I currently have open availability. I don’t have proper space to board your animals at my house but I don’t mind traveling to yours at all. It all depends on the pet, but I would approach first with a hand sniff & see if they are okay with me petting them. I also think it’s a really great idea to do a practice trial run with the owner there at first so they can meet me & warm up to me!

They will be welcome to sleep with us in our bed. I do not book more than two pets at once, so your pet will have Matt and I’s undivided attention.

“Stephanie has been a reliable caring and trustworthy pet sitter for me and all of my dogs for over 20 years.
