“Tanya helped us check in on our pups for our wedding day. She put us at ease and helped us have a wonderful, stress-free day. She took good notes and pictures of our pups.”
“Cheyauna exceeded expectations! She was so communicative, she handled my 5 yr old and my puppy with extreme care and specific to their needs, and she even went above and beyond to come before the trip to meet and play with them for comfort. Anything that we asked she did that and more. Now that we have used Cheyauna we honestly couldn’t imagine going with anyone else in the future. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!”
“We needed help last minute and Victoria showed up within 2 hours. She was extremely helpful and communicative. She was really good with our pup. Definitely would hire her again!”
“Margaret was wonderful to work with. Our cat has become quite shy in his old age, but Margaret took the time to find his hiding places and give him pets each day. She also kept us updated with photos and fun stories which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We are so appreciative and would absolutely recommend her!”
“Stevie took great care of our two cats while we were away! She was super nice, responsive, and communicative. We would definitely reach out to her again for future cat-sitting!”
About: My name is Maria! I have owned and cared for other fur babies for over 40 years. I am also a local business owner and swim coach looking to make some extra money for my many Disney trips! I am a business owner, so I can make my own schedule. This allows me to be flexible with my schedule, so that I can be there for your pet's needs! My standard services include visits in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I also offer overnight care and can be flexible with your schedule as things come up!
About: Prepared for all dogs large and small. I have experience with puppies and seniors, large and small breeds. My entire life I've had dogs; Golden Retrievers, Yorkshire Terriers, multiple mutts, Siberian Huskies. I have a lot of experience with high energy dogs and understand how important consistent, high impact exercise is for maintaining a calm and happy pet! I'm fully prepared to handle whatever your dog needs. I'm currently working from home and am available for pet walking or drop ins most days whenever needed. I am extremely flexible time and can make adjustments to fit your dogs needs. If caring for a dog in their home, it would always just be me and the dog. I follow all house rules, and am very adaptable to both the needs of the dogs, and dog owners. In terms of walks, I spend so much time on my daily walks with my dog, that I am hyperaware of warning signs from other dogs and am able to avoid any potetial confrontations.
About: I grew up having dogs and cats and love them both. Taking care of them from kitten/puppyhood to the end of their life. This helped me to understand how their needs change with age. During my time living oversees I rescued several street animals and have brought 4 of them back here to the US. In caring for the animals of others while they are away I've learned how to gain their trust as the newcomer. Animals are a total joy. My primary secular work is from home and flexible, so I'm able to accommodate your schedule as needed. Pet care is scheduled regularly throughout my day and week. Since all pets and their owners are individuals I respect the routines already in place to the best of my ability. But I always spend time petting and playing with them rather than just doing the basics.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have taken care of both for other people! My experience includes drop in visits, week long overnights, and walks! I currently work full time so I’m primarily offering evening services and weekend services. I am also open to early mornings if asked in advance! While in your home, I will maintain your pet’s typical routine while also keeping the household clean. I follow any instructions/guidelines that are provided and make sure to give extra attention to pets while their owners are away!
“My kitty was quite elderly, with some special needs. So when I had a last-minute need for a drop-in visit, I wanted to be extra sure to find someone very reliable, willing to do meds, and very gentle with the kitty. Emily is all that, and more! I would happily call on her again.”
About: I have been a dog lover my whole life. Taking care of neighbor’s pets was my first introduction to responsibility. I was introduced to the importance of feeding, bathing, and exercising pets and going the extra mile to make them feel comfortable while their family was away. Currently I am now a Registered Nurse and my main caretaking involves humans. My flexible schedule leaves me available many days a week to help care for your pet! I currently work full time. However, for me full time only means 3 days a week. With four other days of full day availability leads for a very flexible schedule I am lucky enough to live in a very dog friendly neighborhood with a walking path, fenced in area fresh air and easy access to the beach!
“Iris was very attentive with instructions and so kind to our puppy! I know it is not easy caring for a young puppy, but Iris did expertly and I always felt relieved going to work knowing that Howie would see her during their visit.”

Iris was FANTASTIC!!! She was easy to communicate with and loves your animals like her own. She is attentive to little things like an open window in the rain so your place is equally taken care. Could not be happier with our experience - we got so many great photos of our kitty enjoying playtime and treats while we were gone!
I highly recommend! Cheyauna was wonderful! She came to my house twice a day for 8 days to feed and check on my elderly cat. She was immediately responsive to my request and came to my house to meet me and my cat prior to my leaving. She communicated consistently every day and sent pictures of what my cat ate. All of this made me feel so comforted to know my cat was well cared for! I found it more difficult to a "cat" sitter on Rover, but Cheyauna clearly loves all animals and did a fantastic job.
Stevie-Rae did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. I felt 100% confident that they were well taken care of. She sent pictures each day to show that they warmed up to her even though they are very, very shy around people they don’t know. I highly recommend her to you.
Mackenzie was absolutely amazing! Took such great care of our 2 kitties plus my son’s cat who was staying with us! She was punctual, responsive and sent us updates and pictures! We will absolutely use her again and highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs! Thank you so much Mackenzie 🐾
