Nicolle was a wonderful sitter to my cat while I was out on a holiday. She took great care of her while also making sure my home was in a good state for my cat. She is very caring and so loving towards my cat. She played with her, brushed her, petted her. She also made sure all the details were taken care of. Will recommend her and take her services once again :)

About: I have experience with pets of all ages and personalities, including a special love for senior animals. I’m very comfortable caring for pets with special needs and I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they need—whether that means slower routines, medication support, or just a calm, comforting presence. I’m also experienced with more independent or “spicy” cats and dogs through my time volunteering at a local animal shelter, and know how to read their boundaries, build trust at their pace, and make them feel safe without forcing interaction. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time and intentionally build my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. This allows me to be flexible and give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I also like to set clear expectations with owners ahead of each visit so I can make sure I’m meeting their preferences and providing consistent, reliable care. I am happy to accommodate all requests according to individual pet's needs after a conversation with the pet owner! Any questions or requests, feel free to reach out :)

About: Our Why? We have Huskies, and while still offering our service to other breeds, we highlight that it takes a fellow Husky owner to understand what a Husky needs. Despite their mischievous shenanigans, Houdini escape attempts, endless fur-sheddings, high-pitched vocalizations, bubbly, energized personalities, and hyperactive frolicking, we adore huskies. We understand finding experienced, dependable, loving, and trustworthy caregivers for your Husky isn't easy. That's why we are here to help. We currently have two friendly young huskies (one male and one female- fixed and crate-trained). We also have experience with English bulldogs, Sharpeis, Chow-Chows, Labs, Doodles, and Boxers. We only offer care for dogs based upon the comfortability of the match to our pet-care style and demeanor. We love our pets as we will love yours. We are focused on weekends, holidays, and summer care. We are open to possible weekday arrangements if your dog is crate-trained. Before booking us, a drop-by visit is required to test the compatibility of all humans and dogs. A few things: Special note-while we have never owned a French bulldog, we are particularly interested in learning to care for this breed. Your pet must be spayed or nurtured to receive boarding in our home. Also, we are sorry but we cannot offer care for full or mixed Pit Bull breeds. How does pet care fit into your daily and weekly lives? Our pets receive two meals a day, comprising dry food and water. Our pets are crate-trained and remain crated when owners are away. Most of the time, there is an adult in the house. Our dogs can access a large fenced backyard with green grass and trees. Our dogs walk with owners through nearby Branch Brooke Park and visit the dog park almost daily. Our dogs are crated during adult meal times and sleep in the main bedroom on the floor, side couch, or end of bed at night. We maintain a clean home and provide puppy pads during inclement weather to avoid mud and chaos. Pets have access to some rooms, but not all rooms in the house. Toys and treats are provided regularly. Linens on beds where animals may sleep are washed and switched out regularly. Our gate is blocked off on both sides because huskies are known for escaping. Our pets have ID collars and ID dog tags and wear GPS trackers during the day. Our dogs are up-to-date on immunizations and have been spayed/neutered. We don't hit our dogs with our hands or objects but use basic word commands. Training dogs is always a work in progress. They are both loved for their uniqueness. We only plan to care for pets in our home. We have a large and welcoming home.

Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I focus on making every walk or visit fun, safe, and stress-free. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine, energy level, and comfort, and always give them the same love and patience I’d give my own. I’m also experienced with leash training and helping anxious dogs feel calm and cared for. With my remote job, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate consistent time to pet care each day. I plan my walks and visits around my work hours to ensure reliability and punctuality. Whether it’s early mornings, lunch breaks, or evenings, I make sure every pet receives dependable care and attention. Safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m walking your dog or caring for them in my home, I make sure they feel relaxed, loved, and secure. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding and walks to playtime and rest, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and well cared for.

About: I am the loving owner of a 9-year-old cat and 11-year-old dog who has been trusted by family, friends, coworkers and neighbors alike to care for their pets. I worked for many years at a dog grooming salon and fostered cats growing up including the teeny tiny kittens that required bottle feeding. I love meeting new furry friends and look forward to caring for yours! I work full-time on a hybrid schedule. I am available on evenings, weekends, and days that I work from home to spend time with your pet. I am happy to visit your home and stick to your pet's routine as closely as possible. As the owner of a dog who is not so friendly with other dogs, I am familiar with the necessary protocols to keep your dog safe on walks regardless of their temperament.

About: Growing up, my childhood home was affectionately known as "The Zoo"—and for good reason! From dogs and cats to bunnies, hamsters, hermit crabs, and fish, I’ve spent my life surrounded by a diverse cast of creatures. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve transitioned from a kid who loved animals to a seasoned caregiver who understands the nuances of pet behavior and health. I’m particularly well-versed in specialized care; I can confidently administer medications and manage complex health routines and I’m a dedicated "cat parent" to my own senior kitty who has CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease), so I truly understand the patience, vigilance, and extra TLC required for pets with chronic conditions. Whether your pet is high-energy or requires more care, they’ll be in experienced, loving hands. I am home all day with open availability and would love to fit your special furry loved one into my schedule and keep them company! I believe that every interaction should be rooted in building a genuine foundation of trust; when an animal feels secure, they can truly thrive. This bond is especially vital for pets requiring special care or medications—I take the time to move at their pace so that even during medical routines, they feel safe, happy, and relaxed rather than stressed.

About: I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and patient looking after your pets, and I always try to give them lots of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs. I currently offer drop-in visits, evening house sitting, and walks. I know every pet has their own personality, so I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have a senior dog of my own who has a special diet and is partially blind, so I understand the extra patience and attention some pets may need. During walks, I keep her close to me, help guide her safely up and down stairs, and carry her when needed. I also administer her eye drops daily and make sure she stays comfortable and relaxed. Caring for her has taught me how important gentle, attentive care is, especially for senior pets or pets with special needs. I have a fairly flexible schedule! I’m currently available weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as full availability on weekends for House sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking! Visits include feedings, fresh water, potty breaks, walks and playtime! I’m happy to help keep up with your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed in their own home. For walks, I focus on making sure your dog has a safe and fun outing.

About: Animals have always been a major part of my life, and my experience caring for them goes beyond just basic pet sitting. I have volunteered at animal shelters, where I gained hands-on experience walking and handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. This has taught me how to read body language, build trust quickly, and make every walk safe and enjoyable for each dog’s individual needs. I also have personal experience as a foster parent to cats. I successfully helped one of my fosters find her forever home, and I proudly became a “foster fail” with another who I couldn’t imagine letting go. I currently care for a blind cat, which has deepened my understanding of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, predictable environment for special-needs pets. In the past, I also cared for a cat with feline leukemia who was incredibly special to me, and I made sure he was always comfortable, loved, and supported. My background has given me a strong sense of compassion, responsibility, and intuition when it comes to animals. I treat every pet like my own, and I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel complete peace of mind while they’re away. I am currently working per diem, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I am also in a season of exploring my passions and focusing on work that feels meaningful to me. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I love building trust with every animal I meet. I care for pets in clients’ homes by following their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, litter care, playtime, and any medications. I adjust to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re social or need space. I also keep the home clean, secure, and provide updates so pet parents feel at ease.

Jadis was an excellent choice to watch my two dogs while I was away on vacation. From the very beginning, she made everything feel effortless…communicating clearly, showing genuine care, and keeping me updated so I never felt unsure about how my dogs were doing. My dogs were calm and happy when I returned, which says a lot about the attention and routine Jadis maintained. I could tell they were comfortable in Jadis’s presence. I’m genuinely grateful to have found someone trustworthy. I’d absolutely book her again for future trips and would recommend Jadis to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog sitter.
