“This is the first time we’ve booked with Jenni as our former Rover recently retired. Jenni is reliable, great with our cats, and super friendly. Thank you Jenni!”


About: As a Momma to 2 fur babies and 6 grand-dogs, I have all the experience needed to care for your pets like they are my own. I only work a few hours a day so I will be home to provide your pet with lots of attention and TLC. Plus bonus Grandparents are here to provide even more love and snuggles. We have a big fenced in yard for lots of outdoor play. Our pup Zelda is friendly and loves to have new playmates to show around. Your pets are welcome on the furniture and in the bed or wherever else they want to be!

“Fran was amazing! She made sure we were able to disconnect and enjoy our trip knowing our cat was taken care of. We’ll definitely be using Fran in the future. Thanks so much, Fran!”


“Ambar was wonderful with our dog. She truly cares for the animal and he loved her back so quickly! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, loving and attentive dog walker or sitter.”


About: I have 3 dogs, two 14 year old Labrador retrievers and a 5 year old Labrador retriever. I have trained and taken care of my younger dog and continue to provide senior care for my older dogs. This has given me experience with all ages and a diverse range of doggy needs. I currently have an internship from 9-5 but am willing to do any work after 5 including dog walking, delivering care, and dog sitting. I already take care of my three dogs and would happy to accommodate any other dogs into my schedule. In my home, my dogs are walked twice daily and fed twice a day. They are treated with love and respect, helping them to enjoy their all too short life. I will treat my clients with that same respect and hopefully be able to interact with your furry friends!

About: I am a dog mom of nearly four years and lifetime lover of animals! My dog caretaking experience ranges from puppies to senior citizens and even pets with complex medication schedules. In 2021, we adopted Daphne, an injured shelter dog. Together, we navigated treatment for her preexisting conditions including major knee surgery. I am happy to report that today she is a happy, healthy, and active member of our family. I am prepared to meet the energy level of your furry friend whether they are an energetic puppy or mild-mannered senior, and am looking forward to caring for them. I am available most weekday mornings and afternoons after 3:00 PM. My work schedule is flexible, and I am happy to take weekend bookings with two days advance notice. For drop-in visits, I will cover your pet's needs and make sure to spend quality time best suited to their personality and energy level with games of fetch, snuggles, or both! On walks I will make sure they have time to safely explore nature and help you reinforce good leash manners. My goal is to care for your pet like my own and leave them with a positive social experience.

“Sophia was great with my cat Penny! She checked in on time every day and gave her lots of attention and love. I could tell Penny was comfortable with her and enjoyed her visits. I highly recommend booking with Sophia!”


“This was our second time having Natalie look in on our cats, and she was wonderful again! She was very flexible with some last minute changes we had to make to the schedule, and the cats really seemed to enjoy her visits. We'd love to have her back again in the future. We really appreciated the daily photos, and we were able to relax on our vacation knowing Natalie was taking excellent care of our girls.”


“Vania was so wonderful with our cat! She sent great photos and notes and even handled an small issue with our cat vomiting with care. She went above and beyond and helped make our trip away from our cat stress free!”


“Amy was great! Always very responsive via text. Key handoff was so easy, and that usually gives me the most anxiety. She sent the cutest pics of my cats who seemed to love her and be well taken care of :)”


“This was my first time using Rover, and Melissa. Rover was good. Melissa was excellent. She did everything asked of her, cleaned up after feeding the dog and cat, and gave extremely thorough documentation of the visit - a detailed write-up plus 26 photos -- all for a 1-hour drop-in.”
