This is our second time having Erica watch our guys, she was able to accommodate us last minute which was a sigh of relief for us since she had been here before! She was patient with the buds and kept me informed all along the way.

I found Zoey to be an honest, dependable and trustworthy person. She sent me pictures of my pet and updated me each day she came over. She alerted me to a concern she had. I highly recommend her and would definitely request her again.

About: Hi! I’ve had pets my entire life from having cats to dogs to even ferrets and hamsters and turtles, I love all animals! I was given my first pet to take care of myself when I was 6 years old and even though she was just a small ferret I found the responsibility fun and fulfilling even at a young age. I lost my dog last year so being around dogs in anyway has been such a blessing and a privilege, I miss being around mine. Caring for animals gives me a purpose I work 35 hours a week but 2 times a week from home. Since I don’t start super early or end super late I find myself finding time in the mornings and evenings available as well as weekends. Since I have dealt with so many types of animals I understand that each and every fur baby has their own unique personality and it is my job to adjust and accompany to it all while fulfilling owners requests

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 8 years and truly love spending time with animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m very active, patient, and dependable, so whether your dog needs long walks and playtime or your senior pet needs a calmer, gentler approach, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I understand how important pets are to families, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays, especially afternoons and evenings. I enjoy going on walks, being outdoors, and giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also reliable with feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are doing well. Creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for pets is very important to me. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all routines closely so pets feel secure and relaxed in their familiar space. I pay close attention to instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, crate training, and any special needs or behaviors. I’m patient, attentive, and always prioritize safety during walks, playtime, and interactions with other animals. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.

I love that Amy took the time to get to know (and love) Tabasco while we were away from home. I can tell that Tabasco really enjoyed their visits, and got some decent play time in. Hoping to have Amy again in the future for our time away.

About: Hi there! I'm Dana, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for a wide variety of pets including dogs, cats, birds, fish, rats and other exotic animals. I currently have two cats and an axolotl myself, and throughout my life I've helped care for everything from energetic puppies and independent cats, to birds, aquatic critters, and other unique companions. I believe every animal is different and deserves patient, individualized care. One of the most important lessons I've learned over the years is that trust takes time, and building a positive relationship with a pet starts with kindness, consistency, and understanding their unique personality. Whether your pet is outgoing and playful or shy and cautious, I take the time to help them feel safe and comfortable. When caring for your pets, I treat them as if they were my own. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship while you're away, my goal is to ensure your pets are happy, comfortable, well cared for, and that you have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I'm committed to providing regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Unfortunately, Rover does not allow me to show my specific availability. I currently work full-time, so for dog walking and check-ins my availability will be: Monday: 5am-6am and 6:30pm-8pm Tuesday-Friday: 5am-6am and 4pm-8pm Saturday: 5am-6am and 10am-9pm Sunday: 5am-8pm I care for every pet as if they were my own and work to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you're away. Whether you have cats, dogs, fish, birds, or other small and exotic pets, I'll follow your care instructions carefully and make sure their individual needs are met. For dogs, this includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. For cats, I'll provide fresh food and water, litter box maintenance, enrichment, and affection based on their comfort level. I'm also happy to care for fish, birds, reptiles, and other pets by maintaining their feeding schedules, cleaning habitats as needed, and monitoring their overall well-being. I'm comfortable administering medications when required and will keep a close eye on your pet's health and behavior. During each visit, I'll provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I'll also treat your home with respect and leave it clean, tidy, and secure.

About: I give a lot of attention to dogs and can walk them on extra long walks if needed. For puppies, if they need to play with other dogs, I have my own senior dog (shihtzu-terrier mix) they can play with. I’m currently working part-time on nights so I can walk and feed your dogs as needed. I’m very flexible with your schedule and can be available when needed. I can offer the dog lots of attention, TLC, extra long walks, feeding, and/or any medicine needed to take orally. I also have a car and can pick up/drop off the dog when needed.

Beyond grateful that I connected with Lauren and Lauren, and they could help with our cat while our entire family traveled together. Communication is always quick, clear, and helpful. They flagged every visit, and kept me updated with all the details from each house visit for our cat. Will absolutely keep them at the top of the list for any future needs!
