“Brenda did an awesome job looking after my two cats, notoriously shy, she got them to hang out and play! I already asked her to do another drop-in, she’s super reliable and the cats seemed very happy with how much time she spent with them!”


“Adrian always does a great job looking after my cat while I'm away. She is very reliable and Lila Bear loves her. I would highly recommend Adrian to anyone looking for a cat sitter”


About: I've been around pets all my life, and have watched my parents puppy on multiple occasions. I treat all pets as my own, with love! I work from home Monday through Friday so my schedule is very open. I'm only away in the evenings for a couple of hours for my sons muay thai practice. I have a home with a big fenced backyard for your pups to run around and enjoy. I only have 1 senior cat that keeps to himself.

About: I have 10 plus years experience with dogs, I have 2 fur babies who always bring me joy. I have loved animals from a very young age and treat them with love, kindness and respect. With my own 2 pups I cook, clean, play, get them to their vet appointments, clean their teeth, make sure they are groomed regularly. I treat my fur babies like they are literally my children, this is the same treatment your fur babies will get from me. I am available Monday - Friday from 4pm - 8pm and weekends upon requests. Would love the opportunity to work together and build a relationship. I currently am only offering either dog walks or drop in visits. I am not able to care for pets in my home, although that can change in the future.

“April took fantastic care of our two young kitties. She was responsive and agreed to meet with us before we went out of town. Our cats took to her instantly and she sent plenty of pictures of playtime and feedings while we were away. We really appreciate the care that she provided.”


About: I have years of experience with pets, both in my personal life and at my hometown animal shelter as a dog walker and “kitty cuddler.” There, I specialized in walking the largest and most challenging dogs, whether they were shy, nervous, or reactive, and I learned how patience and calm energy can build trust with even the toughest pups. Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with german shepherds, which gave me a special love for big dogs and the confidence to handle strong or energetic breeds. Beyond dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for chickens, ducks, pigs, goats, and even horses while living on a farm — so no animal is too big or too small! I’m comfortable with everything from puppies to seniors pets who need a little extra patience and gentleness. What sets me apart is not only my experience but my genuine love and respect for every animal’s unique personality. I treat each pet as if they were my own, and I pride myself on being reliable, compassionate, and attentive to their needs. Whether your dog loves long adventurous walks or your cat just needs extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I am a student and barista so my schedule changes daily. Unfortunately Rover’s schedule settings didn’t allow for super specific times so here is a more in depth look: - Weekdays I am mostly available in the morning - Wednesdays I am consistently available after 5pm * Friday’s I am consistently available throughout the day!! I think of my own pets as my babies, so I will treat yours the same. It is the highest honor to be trusted with a member of your family, and your pets’ safety and well being is my number one priority!

“Tara took care off my girl very well while I was on vacation. She is a long haired Persian cat that needs extra care such as eye cleaning and hair brushing and Tara did an excellent job with it. She was very communicative and sent a lot of detailed info and photos to ease my worries. I highly recommend Tara to all pet parents.”

“Thank you Ana for taking care of my boys during the busy holiday weekend. I appreciate that you were able to step up and cover an extra day when my flight was canceled as part of the Southwest meltdown.”


“Tori was great! She dropped in daily to check on our dogs, feed them and have them go potty while I was doing long stretches of work with my husband out of town. She was communicative, respectful, and took some great pictures of our pups. We will be booking again!”


About: I treat every pet like my own, with love and patience, and respect for their unique needs. I can adapt to each pet’s personality and comfort level. I’m also a great communicator, so you will always get updates and photos while you’re away. I’m currently working at home, so I have plenty of time to play or take care of your pets. I also have a car, so I can travel too. I live in a clean, pet-friendly townhome that’s hazards free, making it a safe and cozy space for pets. Just outside is a part and hiking trail, great for daily walks and fresh air. I stick closely to each pet’s routine, including feeding, exercise, and any medication needs. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I help them feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings while keeping everything clean. I know how important trust is, so I stay in regular contact with updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have 13 years of experience raising my little Bella. I got her at 19 I’m 32 now and she’s has developed into a shy but feisty, playful , rambunctious and healthy baby. Through our development I’ve learned how to walk, feed, bath, and take care of over all health. I’ve also learned how to spot when she’s unwell, trying to communicate when she needs or want something, and when to give her space. I have no professional experience, but have grown to specialize in handling anxious / fearful dogs and the barkers of our society if and when they’re comfortable around me. I have a full time job Monday - Friday and am a part time student . My homework load is pretty light so I usually have weekends available and my dog likes to go with me places so if the client is comfortable with her around I’d love to bring her to work with me! I live in an apartment so hosting all types of dogs would be difficult. if I am at a clients home I will treat as if it my own by mankind sure the dog is comfortable, had water , fed at his/ hers regular time, play with them and make sure I’m making the most of our time together to bond so both the client and dog I can build that trust over time.

“Hello, My name is Honey, I've known Monique all her life for 40 years, and she has always shown incredible love and care for animals. When Monique watched my dog, Booboo for 4 days they went above and beyond to make sure my booboo was comfortable and happy. Monique sent me regular updates and pictures, which helped ease my anxiety of leaving BooBoo. Monique did both check ins and she boarded Booboo at her house overnight. I highly recommend Monique to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter/walker. Thanks, Honey Hernandez”

William Z.
“William did an outstanding job taking care of our cat, Nova, over the past five days. From the moment we left, he showed great responsibility, ensuring Nova was well-fed, cleaning up her throw ups, giving her medicine when her asthma acts up, and she received plenty of attention and affection. Nova is usually shy around new people, but she quickly warmed up to William, which speaks volumes about his gentle and caring nature. He also kept us updated with photos and messages, giving us peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for better care. Nova was clearly happy, healthy, and loved in our absence”


Kassandra G.
“I had a mini schnauzer named Mickey that had a bit of an attitude problem in that he sounded off his distrust of people and other dogs any time someone he didn't recognize came around. This made finding a sitter tougher than usual and I was initially worried he might come off too unpredictable and make her nervous, but she understood his anxieties and allowed him time to ease into seeing a new person in his space and eventually warm up to her, which I appreciated very much. She made sure to send me photos throughout the day so I'd know how he was doing for my peace of mind and asked what type of play he was comfortable with so as not to accidentally agitate or scare him, which no one else had done prior. All in all, Kassandra was quite competent at caring for Mickey and if I ever need pet sitting services again, I know who to call”


Taylor M.

“We booked drop ins and doggy day care with Taylor multiple times before and we are always happy with her! She follows instructions, provides great pictures, and is on time. She takes great care of our pets. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible sitter.”


Elisa F.
“Elisa is truly amazing with animals. She has such a calm and loving presence that animals naturally respond to. My dog absolutely adores her and always look forward to their walks. Elisa is dependable, attentive, and makes sure every walk is safe, enjoyable, and full of care. If you’re looking for someone to treat your dog like family, Elisa is the one you want!”
