An excellent experience for us and our two large doggos. One of our dogs us recovering from a major surgery and she had no problem handling allot of special instructions. Andrea kept us posted with photos through out the day, where we could see the dogs were happy and cared for :)

About: I’ve loved animals since as long I can remember. Currently have 2 cats and an 11 month old shepherd/heeler puppy mix. The neighbors trust me with their pets when they’re out of town and I’d love to take care of yours as well! I was recently laid off from my job and have found myself with a lot of time to fill. I’d love to take care of your pets! I do not offer pet sitting at my home, but would come to yours and ensure your pet is comfortable and taken care of. I always make sure to check in on them, even the shy ones and make them feel special

Michelle is very reliable and communicative throughout her visits. Most importantly though, she is outstanding with my super shy senior Chihuahua. I highly recommend Michelle as she expertly gained the trust of my little chi making pet sitting more accessible and worry free.

Awesome service provided. I’d definitely rebook with Tamara, as she was always fast to respond, very professional, she did everything I asked and was just awesome to deal with! She took good care of my fur babies for the weekend. 10/10 would recommend:)

About: I love dogs and all animals. I have a lot of experience taking care of my own and others. I have taken care of a farm for 5 years that has 6 dogs, 5 horses, 4 cats, and chickens so I am very attentive and aware of an animals needs at all time. I work from home so your pet can hangout with me all day and I can take breaks for walks and runs. I am available for overnights, extended vacations, dog walks, or special hikes. I am in good shape so long walks, hikes, and exercise aren't an issue. I treat my dog like a member of the family as I will treat yours the same way. They will receive lots of love and attention in my care. Let me know what your pets needs are and I will be happy to provide the best care. I have a lot of repeat clients not on rover so happy to provide plenty more references. My schedule is flexible and I work from home Monday through Friday. I can take breaks during the day to take your pet out for walks. They also can go in and out of the backyard as they please. I have a fenced yard and dogs can stay at my house or I can come to your house too. My house is secure so your pet will be safe.

Oh my goodness. We have had a lot of cat sitters, but Veronica is absolutely the best. She went above and beyond in every way. She was helpful during booking, came at consistent times, sent multiple photos of everything she did (ex: a photo of the clean litter box, etc.), and even bought our cats two brand new toys while we were away. Communicative is not even the word for it - she communicated with us in a way that took every fear we had about leaving our fur babies away. She’s truly amazing and we can’t wait to have her back. I highly, highly recommend using Veronica. She’s incredible.

About: I have cared for dogs since I was ten years old and I got my first puppy. After my college graduation I wanted another dog so bad but because of my travel for work I was always the one to just visit and baby sit my parents dogs for about the past 7 years. However, I'm changing careers now to be home more and have my very own puppy and luckily the chance to look after some other cute dogs as well! I live on a 7 acre property and have experience taking care of goats and chickens as well! I'm currently going back to school, mostly online so I have lots of time to drive to and play with your dog. On some days I do have to be at the SRJC in person but never for more than 4 hours at a time. I am an outdoorsy person and I love to go on long walks. I also have a SUV so if a walk in a park further away is desired I can easily transport them. I have a high energy puppy of my own that loves to play with other dogs big and small so he is always available to keep your dog company if they enjoy playing with others.

Brooke took such good care of Judy! We are new puppy parents who had to leave the pup when we both had all day work meetings. Brooke did a fantastic job during the drop in visit and sent the cutest photos of Judy. I would love to work with Brooke again for any Judy-sitting needs!

About: I have loved animals like family as long as I can remember. And feel I have a special connection with them and them with me because of my calm and centered energy. Animals communicate and respond through peoples energy and I feel its how they know to feel safe. I care for dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, lizards etc. And am happy to answer any questions on all. I work for myself so I have a flexible schedule and can usually accommodate most schedule needs of pet parents. I typically make morning and evening rounds and unless I am out of town I am available 7 days a week. I take pride in my attention to detail and upon first introduction I try and get as much information as possible about a clients home and needs pertaining to their pets and what they are used to so that I can do my best to maintain that schedule and activity.

About: I work with a flexible schedule in West County, so am excited to be able to care for your beloved pets while you’re out of the house! I have been a dog dad before, uncle to many a wonderful pups, and know how to work with and make all types of doggos feel safe. I love to exercise, hike, run and would love to walk your dog as far as they want to go or run around with them for a bit. I have a car so I can get around to wherever you’re located, especially if needed for house sitting. I have experience with little pups and owned a big 60lb puppy. I’ve worked with and loved nervous dogs and built relationship with reactive dogs who need a bit more to of a watchful eye when on a walk or meeting others. I also speak Spanish and have cared for a dog that only speaks Spanish! Some weeks I’m working full time in person and some weeks I have a ton of flexibility at home! I would only take dog sitting gigs if I know I’m gonna be around with a flexible schedule:) I totally understand how vulnerable it can be to invite someone into your home and to care for a precious loved one (your sweet animal!). I’m incredibly neat and prioritize families returning to a home better than they found it. My work is with youth and in mental health- I am a trustworthy resource for you and your animal, and a great communicator while you’re away!
