About: I've been a petsitter since middle school. I've looked after cats and dogs both young and old, large and small. I'm very flexible and I take special care to keep each pet I care for comfortable and happy. I'm not currently employed, so I have plenty of time. I prefer late hours, but I can handle early risers too. I have a club event every second and fourth Tuesday; otherwise I'm fairly flexible with my activities. I will meet your pet wherever they are. If they need affection, I can give it; if they need space, I can give it. I put their well-being first, no matter what. If they make a mess, I will clean it up.

This was our first time using Rover, and we were so happy with Taylor! She was communicative and helpful. She followed all the instructions for our cats' care, and I can tell they were well-loved in our absence. We will certainly rebook her next time!

About: Animals have been part of my family for as long as I can remember — and I treat every pet in my care the same way. From tiny 4-week-old babies to cherished 16-year-old seniors, I’ve had the privilege of raising and caring for animals through every stage of life. With over 20 years in the animal welfare field, I bring hands-on experience with a wide range of behavioral personalities and medical needs. I’m Fear Free Certified and Pet CPR Certified, so your furry family member is always in knowledgeable, compassionate hands. Whether it’s a relaxing cuddle session or an adventurous walk exploring new sights and smells, I love creating safe, enriching experiences for my four-legged friends. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priority. 💛🐶🐾 I'm currently working from home with full availability to be present for your pups. Can adjust hours either morning, afternoon or evening for walks depending on regular schedules or weather. To ensure your pet stays comfortable and consistent, I prefer in-home sitting so their established routine remains uninterrupted. Maintaining the schedule you’ve thoughtfully created helps reduce stress and keeps everything feeling familiar while you’re away. I’m happy to continue any training, crating routines, medications, or enrichment activities so there’s no disruption to their progress.

About: Hi! My name is Sandra, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have over 12 years of hands-on pet care experience and a strong professional background working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I previously worked as a manager at a doggy daycare, grooming, and boarding facility, where I supervised group play, ensured safety, assisted with grooming needs, and provided daily care for multiple dogs at once. I also worked closely with a professional dog trainer for three years, gaining experience with basic training, leash handling, behavior management, and reading canine body language. I currently have four dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, high-energy dogs, seniors, and multi-dog households. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific instructions, and adjusting care to each dog’s individual needs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m currently working part-time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, with availability on weekdays 6am-8am and anytime after 4pm and most weekends. I’m happy to communicate and work around your pet’s routine to ensure consistent and reliable care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are extremely important to me. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, training rules, and household routines. I’m attentive to behavior, body language, and stress signals, and I prioritize calm, positive interactions. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and keep everything clean and secure. For walks and outings, I use proper leash handling and remain alert to surroundings at all times. With my professional background in daycare and training environments, you can trust that your pet will be cared for responsibly, patiently, and with genuine love.

I can't wait to meet your beloved companions and befriend them too. I am available for evening petsitting or walks after 5pm on weekdays, and all day on Saturday and Sunday, overnights on weekends only. I can accommodate for your schedule if needed.

Razan is a very conscientious cat sitter and a lovely person. She went above and beyond looking after my two Maine Coon cats, one of which needed medication administered twice daily. When they were fussy with their food, she even cooked them fresh chicken! Razan was gentle and kind with them and I could see how relaxed they were around her from the photo updates. Very reassuring. When a cancelled flight delayed our return by two days, Razan stayed on to care for my cats, which was a huge relief and I am so grateful to her. I will definitely be booking Razan again :)

Christine did a wonderful job with our 11 yr old dog, who took to her right away when they first met. She sent us photos, fed him each meal. We were impressed with her honesty when she came in to feed him but had to leave quickly, and she returned later at night to stay with him. We certainly recommend Christine. She took care of our dog and gave us a peace of mind. Thank you.

Denise has been wonderful with our dogs and they love hanging out with her! We have a comical situation happening in our house — one 12-year-old husky who needs regular pee breaks, and a 7-year-old husky who is sentenced to the “cone of shame” while recovering from stitches. We are extra paranoid of our girl needing constant surveillance so she doesn’t scratch at her stitches through the cone, and Denise is helping give us “breaks” when we can do errands and such and leave the dogs in the hands of someone we can trust. She has been professional and reliable and an amazing help!!!
