About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and bring a calm, patient energy that animals naturally respond to. I’m comfortable with all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I’ve helped with crate training, leash manners, and administering medications, and I’m great at tuning into each pet’s unique personality and needs. What sets me apart is the way I connect with animals. I treat every pet like family and always take my time to build trust. Whether it's playtime, snuggles, or a quiet presence, I adapt to what your pet needs to feel safe and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make space in my schedule to give them the attention they deserve. I’m flexible during the week for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care, especially in the mornings, midday, and evenings. I plan my days around each pet’s needs and make sure I’m fully present during every visit. Whether it's a short walk or an overnight stay, your pet will always be my top priority. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely, from feeding routines to leash preferences and medication. I double-check doors, gates, and collars to ensure everything is secure during walks or visits. I also create a calm, loving environment so your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m attentive to their body language, needs, and routines, and I always send regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands.
“Great communication, fair price and punctual! I had to leave town for a night and needed someone to check-in on my cats. I got some pictures of them when Phung was there also. I am sure they were well taken care of. Will definitely book with Phung again in the future.”
“Tara was great with our dog, Buddy. He seemed quite content when we returned, and based on Tara's wonderful communication and pictures, I'm sure he had a wonderful time!”
About: Taken care of family dog for years, as well as took care of my neighbors two dogs when they were out of town many different times. I currently work in the office most days, but with afternoons and nights totally open. I am also totally open on weekends for pet care. I have a fenced in yard for dogs to roam around and relieve themselves, as well as plenty of space inside and am very attentive to their needs.

I have no doubt that whatever pet she has will be the most loved and cared for animal and that love will go both ways.”

We are so lucky Alex was able to take a last minute request to drop in on our dogs when our planned family member help was ill. She came for a meet and greet same day and made us feel so comfortable that our dogs would be in great hands. She was excellent with detailed updates and cute pictures, and it’s clear our dogs absolutely loved her. It made me feel so at ease to see they were being well taken care of so we could enjoy our vacation! We would ask her to help us again without hesitation.
Christy is amazing. She kept me up to date with what Shy was doing. Very thorough, kind, patient, and professional. Christy treated Shy with so much love and care, my Shy may leave me for Christy.. lol. In all seriousness. Christy was awesome with my baby going above and beyond to ensure that everyone was comfortable and Shy was good hand. I will be re-booking!
Jill is awesome, been using her for years! Book early. She has been great help with my new older foster! She is going above and beyond to help out! She is so caring, so patient and VERY reliable! I haven’t always had that on rover… I just can’t say enough good things about her! ⭐️🤩⭐️
Farhan did an amazing job taking care of my two pets while I was out of town! From the start, he was responsible, communicative, and genuinely cared about their well-being. He provided regular updates, which gave me peace of mind, and I could tell my pets were happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Farhan to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter
Rachel took excellent care of my bunny while I was out of the country. I loved how she played and engaged with him, and even brushed him regularly. Her updates and photos were much appreciated. Rachel's genuine care for animals is evident. Highly recommended!
