About: I’ve had cats since childhood and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important patience, attention, and care are for pets. Even though I don’t own a dog, I’m very comfortable around them and enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m responsible, gentle, and truly love animals, and I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already care for my own cat every day. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and companionship. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I understand how important trust and safety are when caring for someone’s pet. I always try to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and needs, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect as if they were my own pet.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs. I've been a dog owner for most of my life, having cared for my family dog from ages 6 to 16 and now raising another dog since I was 18. This hands on experience has taught me how to understand dogs' unique personalities, routines, and needs at every stage of life. I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or simply having a calm and caring companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping pet parents updated for complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and attention. I work Monday through Saturday until 12:00 PM, which allows me to dedicate my afternoons, evenings, and Sundays to pet care. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding routines, and quality one-on-one attention. I make caring for pets a priority and ensure they receive the same level of care, affection, and reliability that I give my own dog every day. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and routine. In a client's home, I make sure pets stay comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I also provide plenty of attention, affection, and companionship so they feel secure while their family is away. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication. I pay close attention to their behavior, make sure they have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of love, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.

Taylor was great with our cats and left detailed notes that helped put us at ease while we were gone. It was clear they took a liking to her and she took the time to play with them. I would not hesitate to book her again!

Varsha is an incredible pet sitter with a genuine passion for animals. My little pup, Sundae, absolutely loves spending time with her. We had a successful meet and greet where Varsha introduced herself to Sundae and quickly built a rapport. Throughout the visits, Varsha kept me updated with frequent communication and sent me plenty of adorable pictures. As a first-time user of Rover, I am extremely grateful for Varsha’s professionalism and dedication, which made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Five stars!

About: For years, I’ve been trusted by friends and family to care for dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether it’s energetic puppies, strong large breeds, or mellow older dogs. I also have experience providing medicine for both dogs and cats, ensuring they get the right care when they need it most. I know how important it is to keep pets active and engaged, so I make sure every dog gets plenty of walks, playtime, and attention tailored to their needs. Being an active caregiver, I enjoy staying on the move and making sure each furry friend feels loved, safe, and happy while in my care. I currently work four days a week and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care and walks Monday, Wednesday through Sunday. This gives me ample time for multiple walks per day, accommodating different feeding routines, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s sticking to a schedule or adding in extra activity, I make sure each pet gets the care and attention they need. Depending on your dog’s training and routine, I can follow your directions for crate use, provide free roam in my apartment, or stick to the setup you prefer. Since I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs are leash trained and enjoy regular walks in my neighborhood. Walks can range anywhere from 1 to 3 miles, depending on your dog’s needs and your request. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well-cared for in an environment that matches their routine. In your home, I would follow careful instructions with walking, feeding, and playing.

About: Gentle & reliable dog walker. Grew up with a Labrador, so I know the love (and energy!) dogs bring. Your pup’s safety & fun always come first 😊. My schedule is pretty relaxed. I have a part-time job from 4-8 pm Monday-Wednesday and work from home Thursday and Friday. Weekends are also generally free, but sometimes I have to take time to help take care of some stuff for my parents. My fenced-in backyard and the safety of my neighborhood provide peace of mind. Since I don’t have any other pets in my home, you can rest assured that your pets won’t encounter any issues or conflicts within the household.
