“This is the first time we have used Roger and are beyond happy with our choice to have Felicitas care for our big pups! They are all typically very needy and she handles that really well! What an asset she is for you! She was in contact during every visit and it was great to see how happy they were in every video we received. We will definitely request her services again when we need care for our fur babies!”

“Jasmine is wonderful! Was very thorough in leaving daily feeding notes and pictures. It was nice to know our kitty babies were in good hands while we're gone!”

“Montserrat did an excellent job during her days watching the dogs. She definitely went above and beyond, communicated frequently, and sent lots of pictures of the dogs which made me feel at ease being away from them. Not only she took care of the dogs but she also took good care of the house as well. I would definitely request her services again in the future.”

“Ashley did such a great job taking care of our furbabies! She was very communicative and professional and kept us updated on how our girls were doing. She even got our super shy girl to come out for some loving!”

“Amazing! I had an issue come up while I was gone and she was able to handle it and let me know everything was taken care of. Super friendly and flexible. Will be using again!”

“Joselyn was excellent. I have a very old 16.5yr old dog and she could not have been more attentive and patient. She leaves very detailed notes about the visits and goes above and beyond. We are thrilled to finally have found a sitter we can trust and will definitely book her in the future.”

About: Hello, I’m a stay at home mom and cat mom! Throughout my life, I’ve had dogs that I’ve adored and loved. I currently walk and pet sit and would love to build more clientele and gain more knowledge. I’m open to additional tasks you may need done and hoping that I can help people find genuine, loving care for their fur babies! As a mom who stays home with her baby, I care for him and take care of the house during the day and once my husband arrives home, I leave to care for my clients pets, so I have much time to give to your pets! While I walk any dog, I make sure to be well aware of my surroundings so that they do not eat anything they may find, run into another dog (especially if they do not do well with others), stay comfortable in the temperature it may be when walking and that they are overall enjoying their walk. When pet sitting dogs or cats, I love to make sure they’re getting the affection and care that they deserve, so that they’re not feeling alone. I am able to crate them if needed and am open to any request you may need.
“Arianna was great! She sent pictures each time she was there which really put us at ease since we had never used rover before, she took great care of Honda and we will definitely use her again!”

“Fabulous! She was so understanding of our labradoodle who has a licker problem and so patient with our shih tzu who is scared of strangers. She has tons of energy and my pups were very happy.”

About: Hi there, I’m MJ! I am actively working towards my CCPDT certification in dog training, and I’ve got experience handling and training border collies as bird dogs. I’ve got lots of experience taking care of my neighbors’ dogs from age 10 into adulthood, and I’ve had a vested interest in canine behavior and care since I was a kid. I have experience caring for senior dogs as well as puppies, and feel equipped to care for dogs of all personalities! I treat all animals as my own and seek to truly bond with your dog so they receive the best care and the most love possible. I work full-time overnight only four days a week, so I’ve got lots of time to spend time with your pet! I truly love spending time with animals and use this as an escape from life’s stresses. Because of my pursuit of CCPDT certification, dogs are quickly becoming a full-time hobby for me! I have my own cat, and grew up with three dogs that we nurtured into a healthy old age. I’m an active person and enjoy exercising/walking/biking as part of my daily routine, so I’m always happy to include a furry companion in need of some exercise! As you can see from my pictures, when I say I’m a fan of all animals I do really mean ALL animals! I work as an emergency dispatcher, so I feel equipped to handle any sort of stressful situation that may possibly arise while your pet is in my care.
