“Alex was absolutely wonderful with my cat! I had a family event days after my cat had to have surgery but I felt confident leaving her with Alex. They cuddled and hung out all day and Alex administered medication. Also very easy communication!”

“Ashley was absolutely fantastic! We had Ashley pet sit for our 3-month old puppy for 4 days. She made us feel so comfortable leaving our puppy for the first time.

Cannot recommend her enough!”

About: While I'm new to Rover, I have many years of experience caring for my own pets (cats, an elderly dog, and birds) as well as historically being that reliable friend/co-worker who can keep furry friends company while you're out of town. I understand that sometimes your pet may need individualized care to help them manage their anxiety while away from their family, so I'm always attentive to pets' body language for signs of what they need. I work part-time from home which allows me to work around the schedule requirements of each pet I care for. This means I can make playtime, feeding, walking and hangout sessions as long and as frequent as is just-right for your furry companions. My home setting is quiet, which allows me to provide a calming setting for my temporary furry roommates! I'll be able to take your pup out for breaks as often as needed. When visiting your pets at home, I try to recreate the structures, routines, and care you outline to make the times you're away the most stress-free they can be. Reach out for any special care needs or requests!

“Tobin was excellent taking care of our Frenchie Charlotte! We got daily updates of walks, naps, and meals. Tobin stayed at our place and left it spotless! Would for sure recommend”


“So glad that we found Loretta! She is professional, responsible, reliable and has a clear passion for caring for animals. Thanks to Loretta, we were able to relax and truly "unplug" on our vacation. Highly recommend!”


About: I sleep with my own dog, so getting her hair all over my bed and pillows, show how much I love my dog, and pets in general. I work part time and go to school but I am available during different times on different days. I’ll always have the chance to take care of the pet when the time comes to do my job. I walk my dog at least twice a day and feed her twice a day. We go to the park and run around. At my clients home I will treat their home and pet(s) with the utmost care and respect. I come from a family of respect and trust so that will never be an issue.

About: I grew up owning and training dogs, mostly German Sherpards, which made me comfortable around all types of dogs. I am trained to teach your dog commands such as sit, stay, wait and heel. Due to my experience with bigger & sick dogs I am able to effectively calm an excited dog down during a walk and I know how to get creative when it comes to giving your doggo their medication. I believe a dog is an extension of their own and should be treated with the upmost respect, care and love. My schedule is flexible, I am available in the mornings, afternoons and mid evenings. I am currently in between jobs and have a lot of time during the week to care for your doggie. I have a fenced yard which is perfect for your dog to play in, I do not have carpeted floors which is beneficial in case there is an accident. I am also able to crate tracing your dog.

About: Hi, I’m Kathy ! I’m a gentle, responsible, and fun-loving pet sitter who believes in earning every animal’s trust. I’ve worked hands-on with my own dog in a professional training program, where I learned the importance of being firm yet positive, and now I bring that same approach to every pet I meet. I love puppies, young and old, cats with their unique personalities, fish, chickens, goats, you name it. I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Whether long or short, I love walks and would love even more a 4 legged buddy to walk with me. I appreciate a household with rules so if you have some, we will follow them! I look forward to meeting your pet and giving them the love and care they deserve. I have a flexible schedule and can drop in from morning through evening. I’m rarely away for more than four hours, and I’ll always make sure your pet has fresh food, water, and a comfortable setup while I’m out. I have a senior cat who is the epitome of a “scaredy cat,” so unfortunately I’m not able to offer boarding. My goal is to earn your pet’s trust so you can have peace of mind knowing they’ll be treated with nothing but respect while I’m in your home. I also have a green thumb and am happy to water your plants if needed.

Coco is an extremely nervous dog and deals with really bad separation anxiety, on top of which, requires very specific round-the-clock needs but Vanessa sent me periodic updates on how my dog was doing and made sure she was getting plenty of enrichment, rest and being fed on time. Most important of all, Coco was able to relax within the first hour being dropped off, I will definitely be seeking Vanessa's services again.”
