Our dog is older + has special needs + Terra was great with her - we have not left her with anyone but family prior to this so we were really nervous but Terra was so awesome that we now feel like she is "one of the family" when it comes to watching our best friend. She also sent lots of great pics + updates - we highly recommend her!”

Daniela did a great job administering the insulin shot and oral medications. She came before my trip to meet the animals and even stopped by a second time so I could watch her administer the insulin injection. She made me feel so comfortable to leave my pets and home in her care.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities over the years—everything from energetic puppies to senior pets needing a gentle touch. As a nurse, I’m confident administering medications and paying close attention to health or behavior changes. I’m comfortable with leash training, feeding schedules, and giving pets the individualized attention they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions, I always strive to make pets feel safe, loved, and right at home. I’m a registered nurse and I typically work three days a week! Usually Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. The later part of my week is available for your furry family members!! I live in an apartment that features a secure, fenced-in dog play area, and I also enjoy taking dogs on regular walks to keep them active and happy. While I can provide loving care in my own home, I typically prefer boarding pets in their own home whenever possible. This allows me to maintain your pet’s normal routine and provide a familiar, low-stress environment tailored to their needs.
About: i’ve been taking care of dogs for 4 years, rather it’s taking them out, feeding them, giving baths and even medication i don’t mind it i currently do not have a job, so i have plenty of time in my hands. will love and cherish them like they are mine! i have 5 acres of land that’s fully fenced with 4 dog friendly dogs of my own. they will al get treated equally rather it’s laying on the bed getting cuddles or walking them outside.
“Michelle did an absolutely fantastic job. She went out of her way to do two meet and greet appointments. She gave me the confidence to know I could relax while she was taking care of Flanagan in my home. My home was very clean when I returned home. Would definitely recommend Michelle.”
About: i’ve been a dog owner for the past 11 years! I love looking after animals of all kind, no matter the age or level of need! My schedule is pretty flexible at the moment, so I am available all day on weekdays and weekends as well. i am also available on holidays. You can trust me to care for your pet, in your home, exactly as you would! I will abide by your rules, for example, if your pet is not allowed on the couch, i will enforce that rule as well.
“Jordan did a wonderful job watching over my two little kittens! The babies seemed to love her, and she definitely seemed like a cat person. The pictures she sent were some of the cutest ever, and the cats were perfectly happy and safe when I came home!”
“Jasmine was very friendly and kind and did a great job keeping our dog and house sitting. I could tell from my dog’s body language when I came home that she felt safe and happy with Jasmine.”
About: I used to walk, shower, and train my own pets as well as a few neighborhood animals. I worked in a pet store so I have lots of animal care training. I understand body language of the animals to prevent accidents. I have potty trained puppies as well as taken care of senior dogs. I currently am a full time college student and a seasonal worker so I will have plenty of time to take perfect care of your pets. Pet sitting and/or walking will fit perfectly into my schedule. I will always make sure that your pets are on leashes when they are being brought outside as well as paying careful attention to any other animals that could possibly come out as I walk out of the house. I will pay attention to my surroundings and make sure that your pets are safe and never feel threatened.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10. I’ve had dogs of my own and other people’s pets as well. I love being around animals of all kinds and thoroughly enjoy taking care of them. I’m currently only working part time so I have plenty of time available to take care and play with your animals! I’d love to be able to help you out and play with your babies. I can care for your pets in whatever manner you prefer. I can walk them, play with them, feed them, and put them in their crate if needed.
“This was our first time using Rover and Cindy went above and beyond our expectations! Our four puppies were very well taken care of, and Cindy did an amazing job! We were away for 4 days and she came to our house to watch the dogs. They got all of the love and attention that they get when we are with them! Looking forward to Cindy coming to take care of them again :)”

Daniela is an absolute angel! We hired her to look after our very anxious dog on our wedding day, and our Jolie took to her quicker than we’ve ever seen with anyone else. It was obvious to tell she knew exactly what she was doing, her presence and vibes were so calm and patient. She went above and beyond in every way for us. I just cannot recommend her enough.
