Daily visits and vacation time.making owners more aware of pets care
About: I’ve had all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, and more. I’m not allowed to have any pets where I live now, so I have endless patience for everyone else’s pets. I miss having animals in my life so I’m grateful for the chance to keep your pets happy while you’re away! My schedule is very flexible. I work from home so I can go to clients’ homes and stay with pets for a couple hours or stop by a few times a day. I’m also available most weekends. I’m unable to care for pets in my home but at clients’ homes I plan to follow all their rules and spend as much time playing outside with dogs and playing inside with other animals as possible.
About: I've taken care of animals my whole life. Growing up I had many different types of animals and we also took care of a cat colony. I've dog sat and walked dogs for a few years and have a lot of experience with many different breeds and sizes. I'm also a huge cat lover so those toe beans will be taken care of! I have a lot of time to do pet care as I do it as my primary work and especially because it's my passion. I am very flexible I do not do services in my own home. However I am very routine oriented so whatever routine I need to follow I do exactly. Of course play time and possible training is always part of my care.
About: I grew up around many pets, big and small, cats and dogs plus everything in between. I’m an athletic person so long dog walks are awesome. I have a senior dog of my own that just recently passed whom I took care of all her medical needs. I am available weekdays after 12 most days and available at whatever time on weekends! I can do multiple stops a day if needed as well! I will do a walk through of the home and pets care before taking over and ensure that all their requirements are met. Will stick to the fur babies feeding and walk schedule!
About: Most people teach dogs tricks. I help dogs find peace. I specialize in grounding high-energy, anxious, or shelter-raised dogs into calm, balanced companions. With a quiet home, a spacious yard, and structured daily walks, I create the conditions dogs need to reset their nervous systems. Whether your dog is easygoing or a handful, I meet them where they are — and lead them where they need to go. I’m not just a dog-sitter — I’m a calm, structured presence. I got my start fostering dogs from the shelter. Following the teachings of Caesar Milan, I was astounded how quickly wound up, hyper dogs can learn to let go and feel safe. Dogs don’t just stay with me; they reset with me. I understand how to lead, not just entertain. Whether it’s leash manners, excessive barking, or anxious pacing, I address the root of the behavior by giving dogs the one thing they crave most: leadership. When they leave my home, they’re calmer, more confident, and more connected. My home is safe, secure, and peaceful. Dogs are kept in a calm state here, with clear boundaries and zero chaos. The backyard is large and fully enclosed with a high 6-foot fence — plenty of room to roam, sniff, and reset. Inside the home, the energy is stable and quiet. No kids, no clutter, no overstimulation. Just a grounded environment where your dog can relax, decompress, and feel safe at all times.
“Denise was amazing, reliable, and trustworthy! She took care of my fur babies while we were gone. She fed them and cleaned the litter. She was able to modify what we had agreed upon which is great. She also kept us updated. Thank you, Denise! I will recommend her.”
About: Ever since I was little, my family had dogs in the house, so was raised and learned how to take care of them. A couple years ago we got a puppy and I helped train him, and he truly is the best. I have some years of experience taking care of dogs and love to help with others when I can. I’m currently a full time employee, but on weekdays our lunch break is from 12-2. 2 hours is a perfect amount of time to walk dogs and play with so many pups!! I don’t work on the weekends so have plenty of time!! I get home at a decent hour so would have plenty of time to play and take them out for the night. For boarding I am free on the weekends and have time to come home on the weekdays because my place of work is 2 minutes from my apartment I live in an apartment, but there is a dog park on the property and plenty of grass and walkways to get our walks and potty breaks taken care of. I personally don’t have any other pets, if they feel more comfortable just them. Can make many friends though at the park.
“Clayton was very communicative & took great care of our fur babies! Followed thorough instructions & sent us updates everyday. Book with him if you want to be worry free!! He will also go above and beyond and work with you for all your fur babies needs! 10/10 will book him again!”
About: I have been raised around all animals for as long as I could remember from puppies, dogs of various breeds and sizes, kittens and cats, and many others. I am currently in college, planning on going into a career that cares for a large variety of animals. I would be very excited to care for your pets! When coming into your home your beloved pets are my top priority. Their health is my only care. No matter what they need whether that be food and water, a walk, or a bath I am happy to do it all!
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them like family. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, patience, and ability to quickly build trust with pets of all personalities. I have experience walking energetic dogs, caring for senior pets with medication needs, and creating a calm environment for anxious animals. Whether it's a puppy who needs structure and training or an older dog who needs gentle care, I adapt my approach to meet each pet’s unique needs. You can count on me to provide consistent, loving, and dependable care every time. I’m currently doing pet care full time, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can be available whenever you and your pets need me—whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Since this is my main focus, I can give your pets my full attention and provide consistent, reliable care throughout the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets—whether in my home or yours. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality so I can create a calm, secure environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. In your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely, keeping things clean and organized. I make sure pets stay on their usual schedule and provide lots of attention, playtime, and supervision. I also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you're away.
About: I have two special needs cats so I have tons of experience providing eye drops, ear drops, flea meds, and pills. I am a nurse taking some time off, and a frequent ASPCA volunteer and foster mom. I have experience caring dogs from senior Shih tzus to energetic three-tear old huskies. Big or small, I love them all! I am currently working from home with a very flexible scheule, so I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby. We have a spare bedroom and a home with a large backyard, so we can take care of your pet’s needs easily. I live in a three bedroom house with two cats that are good about keeping to themselves. We have a spare bedroom I frequently use for fosters. For me, checking on other’s pets usually includes feeding, watering, play time, and litter box cleaning. My partner works out of town, so I will be the only person providing care to your pets.
“Jamie made my first Rover experience such a breeze! It honestly went better than I could’ve imagined. Not only was she great at communicating quickly, but she provided photos and updates constantly. She met my dog’s specific needs and also mine as well. I really felt my dog was in such great care. From miles away being able to see constant updates about my dogs visits was just awesome. She definitely did a great job at dealing with my dogs energy and playfully personality which can be a lot for some. She’s great with understanding animals personalities and definitely has that pet whisper thing going. I completely trust her with not only having access to my animal, but my place as well. There was a bit of a fruit fly situation in my apartment while I was away on business and she took it upon herself to help with the situation. She also did a great job with setting up a date and time in handing off my apartment keys to someone else since I wasn’t going to be home to personally get them from her. Overall amazing experience!”

Emily M.
“Emily Morales is one of those rare people whose presence naturally brings comfort and trust. She has a calm, steady demeanor that makes others feel safe sharing their thoughts and feelings. Whether someone is going through a tough time or just needs someone to talk to, Emily listens without judgment. Her honesty, loyalty, and strong moral compass make her the kind of friend you can count on no matter what. People instinctively trust her because she’s genuine in every interaction. Beyond her trustworthiness, Emily is simply a nice person. She treats everyone with kindness and respect, regardless of their background or situation. It’s not uncommon to see her helping strangers or cheering someone up with a small, thoughtful gesture. Her kindness isn't performative—it's rooted in who she is. Friends and acquaintances alike often mention how her smile and encouraging words brighten their day. Emily also has a remarkable way with animals. Whether it’s a nervous dog at the shelter or a stray cat that others couldn’t get near, animals respond to her gentle and calm energy. She’s volunteered at animal rescues, helped foster pets, and even worked with difficult cases to help them become adoptable. Her ability to understand nonverbal cues and provide comfort makes her a natural with all kinds of creatures. Part of what makes Emily so special is her understanding nature. She doesn’t just hear people—she truly listens. She picks up on what others are feeling, even when they don’t say it outright. If someone is struggling, she’s the first to notice and the first to offer support. She’s incredibly empathetic, often putting herself in others’ shoes to better understand their point of view. All of these qualities come together to make Emily Morales a truly exceptional friend. She’s trustworthy, kind, caring, and incredibly intuitive with both people and animals. In a world where it’s easy to feel misunderstood or alone, Emily stands out as someone who always makes others feel seen, heard, and valued. Anyone who knows her is lucky to have her in their life”

“Edward was fantastic with my dog, Murphy! His large, fenced backyard gave Murphy plenty of space to play and explore safely. From the moment we arrived, Edward made me feel completely at ease. It was clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches and treats them like his own. I had total peace of mind knowing Murphy was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
