“She was fantastic. Took great care of my babies. Sent lots of pictures, gave walks, and handled the medical needs of my dogs, a diabetic and chronic dry eye. She seemed to genuinely enjoy my dogs and they could tell.”
“When our normal dog watcher was unavailable, Sara stepped in and made my wife and I extremely comfortable to trust her with our two dogs on short notice. Even with the short notice, she came out to meet our boys and answered all of our questions regarding our request for house sitting. Sara was so considerate of our two dogs while house sitting. She made sure to send plenty of photos and was very respectful of our home. We plan on using Sara for any future needs to watch our dogs.”
“Absolutely amazing experience with TeAsia! Having a sitter in one's home takes things to a whole different level. We felt reassured from our very first meeting and our pets loved her instantly! We received multiple, detailed status updates each day along with pictures. We also came home to a house that was cleaner than the one we left behind. Cannot recommend TeAsia highly enough. We look forward to having her in our home again!”
“This is our second time using Aubrey and were just as happy as the first. Our pups love her, she is very communicative, and she is very respectful of our space. She is our go to sitter!”
“Mackenzie did great with our dogs Cozie and Brollie! She came out to meet them beforehand, which made the process of leaving them a lot easier. She provided plenty of updates and responded quickly! I will definitely be using her for future trips or walks!”
“Alex did an amazing job with our beagle, Josie! She is a sneaky little pup, and Alex handled her wonderfully! We came home to a happy pup and clean home. I appreciate Alex’s communication and plan to book with them again!!! Thank you, Alex!”
“Chandra was great with my puppy and was very accommodating despite the fact that my booking was made with short notice. She gave frequent updates and was quick to respond to this worried puppy mama during my first time away. I felt much better knowing Valentine was in Chandra's care. Thank you!!!”
“Leah was perfect! We got regular updates with pictures and videos. She asked great questions on the initial interview and she genuinely loved meeting our pups. Plus the pups loved her too. She has followed all the detailed notes we left her. We will definitely have her watch our pups again.”
“Colleen stood out immediately from other caregivers because of her focus on details and learning everything necessary to provide the best care for our dogs during her pre stay visit. She asked many thorough questions and took faithful notes about our pups many needed medications, special diet, health conditions and outdoor routines. We could tell how important it was to her that our dogs receive the right amount of attention and the least possible disruption during our absence. Because our dogs are seniors and may react if left alone for too long, she cheerfully arranged her schedule to stay throughout the day and overnight. Colleen also asked about our home, any expected visitors, watering of plants, how we wanted the mail and packages handled, along with any areas the pups were not allowed. She made sure she had our vet's information, along with a nearby neighbor she could call if needed. Colleen also sent many pictures and videos so we could see for ourselves that they were having a good time and in good hands. Her professionalism gave us the confidence and comfort level to enjoy our time away from home. As a welcome bonus, linens were washed, dried and dishwasher had been run. If any of these things are important to you then we would strongly recommend you consider hiring Colleen.”
“Amy house sat with our boys while we were away for a weekend, due to family emergency. She is very personable, responsive, punctual & such a delight to work with! We received constant updates and pictures throughout her stay and returned home to an immaculate house and happy boys. Kobe managed to find some baby bunnies in the yard, and Amy's awareness, attentiveness & quick-thinking saved the bunnies from what would probably have been an otherwise poor outcome. Porter was heavily shedding, and Amy even took initiative to give him a good brushing! We would absolutely love to have Amy back for any future stays.”
About: Helloooo! My name is Michelle O. I am “THE PUPPY LOVER”, I am 20 years old I have plans on being a phlebotomist and a veterinarian! I love friendly dogs, old dogs, hyper dogs, small dogs, big dogs, all except MEAN dogs! I give dogs my full undivided attention and treat them as if they are my own. I will not have a problem giving your dog a bath or if needed a flea treatment; I will take your dog on walks, feed them at least 3 times a day depending on size, and pet them non-stop! I do have a unfenced backyard, so a well trained dog is preferred, unless the client will have to provide a leashed stake for the yard! Clients must provide dog food! -LOVE, Michelle
About: I have taken care of animals since I was about six years old. I always watched neighbor's animals and cared for them as well as family and friends. I have no issues with giving medications orally to an animal and getting them their exercise in a backyard, going for a walk, or even going to the dog park to go have fun. My goal in life is to pursue a career working with animals while caring for my children. I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time for caring for pets while I am going through college. Tuesdays, I am not available from 2 PM to 315, but before and after that I am available. I am comfortable with using a dog lead if your pet requires it or just taking them on a walk if you do not have a fenced in backyard. If you have animals that have separate foods, I am perfectly willing to separate them in different locations in order for them to eat their own as I have to do this with my cats given 2 of them have urinary issues.
“Molly stayed in our house with our dog for a week during a trip. Updates with multiple pics and video almost every day. House seemed clean when we got back and she also signed for/brought in packages. Will use her again. She seemed to love our dog (and him her) even tho he’s picky with people and can be needy.”
About: I’ve been taking care of different pets since the age of 11. I have been trusted by more than 10 different families to take care of their pets. I am currently doing online school so I have plenty of free time to take care of everyone’s lovely pets during any weekday and any weekend. I have 1 fur baby. She often loves playing outside for hours on end. I have plenty of toys, plenty of fence for her to run around, and a wonderful environment for her.
About: Hello! My name is Bethany and I have been caring for animals for my entire life. I even made a career out of it for a decade! Including schooling, I was in the animal care field from 2010 to 2014 and was a registered veterinary technician from 2014 to 2022, after which I pursued other career interests. If your pet has special needs, especially medical, I am equipped with the knowledge and skill to make sure your pet is well taken care of. My prices reflect the loving expertise I will show your pet while caring for them. While I am available and more than happy to look after your pets while you are temporarily away, such as for a vacation/business trip, I am currently unable to provide regular, long term care. If you would like services in addition to those listed here (nail trims, ear cleaning, anal gland expression, bathing/brushing, etc) please ask! I am a strong advocate of rescue/adoption, Fear Free techniques, and positive reinforcement training, however my passion lies in helping senior pets with hospice care. My first dog, Chewie, was diagnosed with cancer and I discovered this passion while caring for him in his final year. Currently, I have adopted a rescued puppy mill mama Yorkie named Rey and a Miniature Schanuzer named Wicket. However, I have experience caring for a whole range of animals including cats, rabbits, pocket pets, and exotics. I currently work part time, 5 hours a day, in either the evenings or the mornings, depending on what day of the week it is. While I am available and more than happy to look after your pets while you are temporarily away, such as for a vacation/business trip, I am currently unable to provide regular, long term care. While at a client's house, I prefer to keep to the pet's normal routine as much as possible as disruption can cause stress. So please let me know how you take care of your pets at home, what their daily routine is line, and how they spend their time so I can make sure they can be as stress free as possible while you are away.

I’ll be a senior this year and I’m currently doing online school so I am available 6 to 7 days a week! My schedule is very open and I’d love to fill it with taking care of your own furry friend!

I have a large condo with plenty of room for your animals, we have comfy places for animals of all kinds to feel welcome and at home.
About: From a young age, I've had a deep passion for animals! 🐾 I always dreamed of having my own little zoo, but my family wasn't quite as enthusiastic about it. I did have the wonderful opportunity to attend vet school during high school, which gave me some valuable experience with medications. I also spent some time working at a vet office! Currently, I share my home with my sweet baby-dog named Leilani and a sassy cat named Selena, so I have a bit of experience with different furry friends. To add, I've even had rabbits as pets growing up! 15 years of bunnies to be exact! Additionally, I work as a pet grooming technician, so if your beloved pet needs a bath or a nail trim, I would be more than happy to help! 🐶🐱🐰✨ I'm working a 2nd job (in the animal business) but I'm usually only working 3 days a week so I have a lot of free time off. I will make sure your home is pet-safe while you are gone! If there is a mess made, I'll make sure to let you know and clean up said mess. If needed, I can crate your pet for a little while. Whatever you need or want me to do for your baby, I'll do my best!

Elizabeth L.
“I have known Elizabeth since she was a young child. She has always been such a wonderful person to have in your life and around your animals. She always tried to help any animal that she saw, even animals that seemed threatening. My husband and I had a cat named lancelot who had a bob tail because of a deformity while his mother was pregnant. A lot of people overlooked him but my husband and I did not when we went on a very long vacation, Elizabeth came over every day, called us with updates, and sent pictures. Lancelot passed away a couple of years ago, but he loved her and she loved him and she was just as heartbroken as we were. She has taken care of many other animals I have owned along with my family and our other neighbors in the neighborhood as well. She actually rushed my dog to the vet when she realized that something we had accidentally left out had been swallowed and stayed with him until she knew he was okay and that was well after we had arrived. Honestly if there's any person I would trust with your pet it would be her. She's got such a gentle soul and really can understand how an animal is feeling.”

Bethany C.
“I've known Bethany for quite a while, and for as long as I've known her she has been incredibly good with animals. An amazing vet tech, and an overall kind and loving person, I would trust her to take care of my pets any day.”

Old Jamestown pet parents share their Rover experiences
From the day we met Katlyn, we knew she would be amazing. From our initial meet and greet to the very end of her time caring for our boys, she brought us so much peace of mind. Katlyn is truly top-tier—her communication is excellent, and she kept us updated with plenty of adorable pictures of the boys. She’s attentive, reliable, and has such a calm, kind spirit that both of our dogs instantly connected with. She followed our care instructions perfectly, always kept us in the loop, and went the extra mile every step of the way. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pets like their own, but Katlyn absolutely does. We’re so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. She’s truly a gem, and we will definitely be using Katlyn again!
Colleen stayed in our home for four.days/nights while my husband and I traveled out of state. Upon our return we found our dogs healthy and happy and our house was immaculate. Colleen worked magic with our chihuahua who is normally very hyper and anxious. We came back to a calm, happy version of her. During our trip a storm came through and our power was out for several hours. Colleen knew that our golden retriever had storm anxiety and she was able to keep both dogs calm. We definitely plan to use Colleen for all of our future needs and we highly recommend her!
