“We returned home to two happy pups after a weekend vacation. The visits were perfectly on time and the updates were great piece of mind. Great job we will be happy to hire again”

“I was so nervous to leave MG alone but Rover has some great people and we are very blessed to have found out about this service. I was also especially nervous because MG is a rescue that I rescued myself and so not much information is known. So im still navigating and understanding her personality. She did so good with Valleri and im so happy that it went good. I also feel relieved MG has been able to go outside for a while and eat and drink. Thanks so much for all you do!!”

“Amy was fantastic! We would trust Amy with our furry little ones every time! Amy was always right on time. Her messages included the bad (💩 on floor) along with all of the good. We received a message after every visit including pictures of the dogs. The care she showed our dogs allowed us to enjoy our time away.”

“Ashley did an outstanding job with our elderly dog and young cat. She provided lots of updates (with photos of our happy pets getting love!) and we felt that they received excellent care. 10/10 Would book again!”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, learning from a young age exactly what it takes to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Whether your fur baby needs a high-energy walk, a strict feeding schedule followed, or just some dedicated cuddle time, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm incredibly attentive to their body language and daily routines to ensure they feel right at home. Im currently working a part time job at the hospital so I have plenty of time for your furry friends!! Im available at any time!! I live in an apartment with two of my own fur babies. I have a huge yard out front and back and live in a nice community area good for walking dogs. My apartment is very spacious for any animals coming over and my cats are very friendly and adapted to all types of animals.
“Vanessa is always reliable and communicative. I can take a trip knowing that my little bossy cat will get the care and attention he needs. I trust her with my house keys and my fur baby.”

About: Guaranteeing love, attention, and compassion when you need to step away from home regardless for length of time or reason. I am highly dedicated to my families and their furry family members. I add a touch of difference with the care I provide to all of the animals I work with in that I treat each one individually and never work in a "cookie cutter" approach. I started working with and training animals (horses and dogs) at the age of fifteen. Throughout the years, my interest and passion with animals grew, as well as my experience. I currently have two dogs, a german shepherd and a very entertaining rescue mix. With my german shepherd, we are a K9 team with a search and rescue organization where we are called upon by law enforcement only for people who go lost or missing throught the upper Midwest. I still currently train dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, in addition to training service dogs through an individually owned local business. Due to my long-term experience, I am able to adapt to your pets' individual needs with age, both young and old. I am trained in pet first-aid and CPR, and I am comfortable with any prescribed medical care needs you may have necessary for them. I truly enjoy building a sincere bond and connection with each family I encounter so that when they step away, they can feel at ease and enjoy their time without distress or worry. Topnotch care is my priority! I have decided after many years of working in family care industries, that my remaining years, I want to follow what was my childhood dream. Working with animals, yet still getting to keep my other passion, family care. I couldn't ask for a better combination. With my many years of experience, I always adapt my care to each of my pets needs. As I previously had mentioned I don't believe in "cookie cutter care" approach. I tailor my care to each pets individual needs and concerns.
“Zara did an exceptional job coming to our home to feed and let our 2 large dogs out. They have a lot of energy and are demand attention. Zara did a great job with each of them and their individual needs. Highly recommend Zara as a pet sitter!”

About: Hi, I’m Stephanie—an animal care professional with 13+ years of hands-on experience and a lifelong passion for creating safe, enriching, and loving environments for animals of all kinds. My journey has taken me from the wilderness of Alaska*, where I raised and cared for a team of Alaskan Husky sled dogs, to leadership roles in animal welfare—working my way up to Operations and CSR Lead at an animal shelter, while also serving as a Client Experience Coordinator at a busy animal emergency hospital. In early 2025, I proudly founded my own rescue, Pawsitive Tales Rescue, where I continue to advocate for and care for vulnerable animals in need. Animals aren’t just my career—they’re my life. Whether I’m caring for playful puppies, senior dogs, shy cats, or medical-needs pets, I bring patience, experience, and genuine compassion to every animal I meet. My background in shelter medicine, emergency veterinary care, rescue work, and behavior gives me the confidence to care for pets with a wide variety of personalities and needs. When I’m not working, you’ll find me outdoors adventuring with my retired sled dogs and my corgi—usually hiking, exploring, or chasing the next view. The mountains have my soul, but my heart belongs to every kitty and pup I’ve had the privilege to love. If you’re looking for someone experienced, dependable, and deeply passionate about animal welfare, your pets will be in caring and capable hands with me. I can’t wait to meet your furry family. 🐾 I’m currently working part-time at the local animal shelter and part-time as an animal care taker. In addition, I have six of my own dogs and two cats. It’s dogs and cats from the moment I wake up until I go to bed! I have a fenced in yard where your pup can run and stretch their legs as much as they want! All of my dogs are friendly and social and my cats are dog savvy. You’re pets will be treated with the best care possible - I’ll treat them as if they’re my own.
About: Lifelong Animal Lover with a Passion for Pet Care I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life and understand the love and commitment they deserve. My two beloved dogs lived long, happy lives—15 and 17 years—before passing in the past two years. Living on 3 acres in the country, I love taking peaceful walks along our dirt road, making it the perfect setting for dogs who enjoy fresh air and space to explore. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or extra TLC, I’ll treat them like my own with plenty of love and attention! I’m currently working full time M-F but I do work close enough to home to be able to swing home over lunch for quick walks/potty breaks! A Safe, Loving, and Stress-Free Experience for Your Pet Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. With a lifetime of experience caring for animals, I provide a trustworthy and nurturing environment where your pet will feel comfortable and secure. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m committed to providing personalized care, whether it’s a relaxing walk, playtime, or extra snuggles. Living in the country on a few acres, I offer plenty of space for safe outdoor adventures, fresh air, and exercise. I always prioritize safety—whether through secure leashes on walks, attentive supervision, or a calm and familiar routine to ease any anxiety. You can trust that your pet will be treated like family, with love, patience, and respect.

About: Hello! My name is Siona, and growing up in the Caribbean around animals has given me years of hands on experience caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and temperaments. In addition to personal pet care experience, I worked as a veterinary assistant, where I gained experience handling animals, observing behavior, and supporting their daily needs. I am patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I strive to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I am also fluent in four languages: English, Spanish, Dutch, and Papiamentu. This allows me to communicate effectively with a diverse range of pet owners and provide a welcoming experience for both pets and their families. As a university student with a flexible schedule, I am able to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. My classes and part-time work allow me to plan ahead and dedicate quality time to each pet’s needs. Whether your pet needs feeding, walks, playtime, medication reminders, or companionship, I am committed to maintaining their routine and ensuring they receive attentive care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a former veterinary assistant, I have experience handling animals, recognizing signs of stress or discomfort, and providing care in a calm and patient manner. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care requirements. Whether caring for pets in your home or during visits, I strive to create a safe, clean, and low stress environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved.
“Kaylee did an excellent job caring for my kitties, Hank and Abbey. She was very detailed and thorough in her updates, sent lots of pictures, and they were very well cared for in my absence. I would highly recommend Kaylee to anyone, and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Mikayla was awesome! She was so easy to work with and very responsible. I would rebook her in a heartbeat whenever I travel again. She did an amazing job and even managed to take photos of my skittish cats. She kept the litter area impeccable. I recommend her 100%!”

“Jessica was great with our 115 lb Labrador Retriever. This was our first booking through Rover. Jessica came over a few days before the booking to meet with us and get familiar with Louie. She was prompt, reliable, and communicative, which we greatly appreciate. We felt comfortable having her in our home and leaving our dear pup (who loves finding all sorts of trouble) in her experienced care. I would highly recommend Jessica’s pet care services.”
