Lindsey was so great checking in on my two cats! She came the same time every day and gave me updates on how they were doing and what they ate. Lindsey was super communicative and I felt very comfortable leaving my kitties in her hands!

Sydney's care and promptness gave me peace of mind while on vacation. It was great to come back with everything all great, and the pets happy.

AK was excellent. She played with Pebbles on her terms (cats…). She took care of everything and sent lots of pictures. I would highly recommend her.

Toni is amazing!! She has watched our cats many times for over a year now, and she has been so good with our cats going above and beyond. She always sends pictures and my normally grumpy cat seems to be so comfortable with her. I can’t recommend Toni enough!

About: I've had my own dog since he was six, and now he's 14. From his puppy-like stage to being almost 90 in human years, I've taken care of him in aall types of physicality. He was my first dog, but I took care of my friends' and neighbors' dogs since around 6th grade. I've taught him everything from shaking my hand, to weaving through my legs. My current job requires me to come in on an as-needed basis, typically on weekends, but only from 9-3. I have all the time in the world! My yard is not fenced, but we do have a long leash/rope that we keep our dog on when outside (he runs through invisible dog fences). My dog doesn't eat shoes and won't go on furniture unless allowed, so at night he just sleeps in a dog bed. I have worked with crate-trained dogs and always do my best to maintain the pet's daily lifestyle.

About: Hello! I’ve taken care of animals of all types for most of my life. I’m always the person everyone in my life comes to first to take care of their dogs/cats/birds/etc. when they’re leaving town, or just want someone to check in on the animals. I’ve always loved dogs and used to volunteer every weekend at shelters helping to take care of the dogs there. Reach out and I’d love to answer any questions you have! My schedule is very flexible right now, so it’s easy for me to be able to drop in to check on your animals. I can usually make it out to your home within a few hours. I won’t be boarding animals in my own home, as I live in an apartment with two of my own cats, however I am always the first to think about safety in your home. Animals will always be leashed outside and if dogs are at all reactive we won’t be walking too near any other people/dogs. If you have specific concerns just let me know and I’ll be happy to accommodate!

About: From the beginning, my wife and I have shared a love for pets, especially dogs. I formed a home where our first child was a furry, four-legged friend. This beloved first canine child strengthened my love and taught me profound parenting skills, and I have passed that legacy on to our two teenage children and our three-year-old son. I formed a home where the love for our dogs is genuine and sincere. That's why caring for your puppies is my responsibility, and I take it very seriously. I have extensive experience caring for all types of dogs, breeds, and ages, and we carefully study their different and unique personalities and needs. I treat them with love and respect. From the moment your dog enters our home, he/she becomes another member of my family. Rest assured that he'll share unique and memorable spaces with each member of my family and will be a part of my family routine without exception. My home is a loving, personalized, safe, and warm home for your dog. Depending on your needs, I accommodate and strive to make our four-legged friend feel at home with us.

Caroline is such a dog lover and so enthusiastic and fun to talk to! She came over to play with our dog while we unloaded our moving truck and was super accommodating when things didn’t quite go according to plan. Our dog seemed to do great with her (I’m impressed she tired him out enough that he wanted to go inside of his own volition!) I, and Robin, look forward to seeing Caroline again!

Shannon did a great job taking care of our dog, Lucy!! It was our first time using Rover and I’m very glad it went so well. Shannon took her for lots of long walks and kept me updated on Lucy’s eating and bathroom habits. Would definitely recommend her and book again!

About: I have had pets since I was 1 years old - whatever my parents let me get away with (dog, cats, fish, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs). As an adult I continue to own cats and dogs and currently own 2 cats. I will treat your pet as a member of my family while in my care. I nursed my cat to health from losing a kidney and he lived till he was 17yo. I nursed my geriatric dog with eye disease, arthritis until he was 14.5yo. I am more experienced with adult and geriatric pets than babies but welcome all. I am currently unemployed and seeking supplemental income. I'm also healing from CIRS/Lyme and need a walking partner to improve my health! My schedule is flexible although I do often have evening commitments with my son and his activities. My yard is large and fenced in. I live next to several walking trails and have a quiet neighborhood. I live close to a dog park and dog beach. I am familiar with crate training and administering medications.

About: Hi, my name is Laillanni!! ☺ Animals are my life! They make me happy. When I was younger I had different types of pets. For example, a dog, a cat, birds and hamsters. I would say one my strong traits are patience, courage and optimism. When it comes to people or animals, I definitely have patience with them. I believe, I am a great choice for your furry friend because they will be in good hands and will be waging their furry tail when they see you again! I also love to run. So if you have an active dog, just know we're gonna get a workout in and kick furry butts. lol At the moment, I have time on my hands to meet some new furry friends and get in shape if that's what they need. Can't wait to set up a meet and greet.🤗 I live in a small apartment. I don't have backyard. However, if your pet is staying the night at my apartment. We will definitely be outside at least 3-5 times a day.🏃‍♀️🐕

Brittany has been excellent as usual. She checked my cats teeth and the health of her legs. I had no idea she had arthritis in that area. If you want a nurse and fun companion for your let, Brittany is the one!

About: Since being owned by 7 cats ,I specialize in outstanding cat care,always aware of changing health, feeding habits or mood.That being said, dogs are my other passion and I was loved by a scotty and 2 collies of my own along with many different breeds I have cared for outside of my home .My special skill is paying close attention which has improved the life of senior dogs by finding innovative feeding styles and wound /illness attentiveness. I am a jewelry and bead designer and have a flexible schedule as most of my shows are online.This opens my days to loving pet care, last minute feeding needs or walks with dogs. I have cared for many pets in their people's home over the years and have handled every situation with care and integrity.It makes me happy to interact with owners during their time away when I know they miss their darlings.Photos and comments always assure owners and show how happy their pets are in my care.

Tiffany was fantastic, she has my highest recommendation! From being able to accommodate a last minute request to being sure our two big dogs were taken very well care of to sending plenty of picture updates, we were very pleased that we were able to work with Tiffany and will absolutely be doing so again the next time we need care!
