“Rachel did an absolutely outstanding job house sitting for us! She played with our kitties and gave them lots of snuggles while we were away. I am so relieved to come home and know my fur kids were well taken care of. She was very professional too and I had full confidence in her. We will DEFINITELY rebook with her in the future and will be recommending her to our friends and families! Thank you so much Rachel!!”

About: I’m a teacher and behavior specialist, so I naturally understand how dogs learn and communicate. I’m great with puppies, basic training, and reinforcing good habits, and I’m patient with dogs of all ages! My goal is to make you feel completely safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m kind, attentive, and provide consistent care and updates so you always know your dog is happy and well cared for. I am available for boarding throughout the week and weekends. I am moving to part time work, so will have plenty of time to check on your pup and play wit them! I'll make sure you feel confident that your dog is attended to at all times. I have a fenced yard as well as a friendly, high-energy Aussiedoodle who loves making new friends and playing. I will let you lead on what is best for your best friend (crate, safe place, toys, etc.,).
About: I have cared for a variety of pets, and will do my best to make them comfortable while you are away! I have cared for all ages. I would love to care for your animal! I am available for walks various times throughout the day, depending on the week. Weekends are great, especially if you don’t expect me to be with them all day! I am flexible with my schedule, if it shows I have a booking, it may not be one where I have to be there all the time; In which case I would happy to help you out as well! Always ask if you don’t like the price, or if I’m already booked. I may be reserving my time in case something personal comes up :) Safety is my number one priority, for everyone involved! At the end of the day, I am here to earn a little money while hanging out with pets, and letting owners gain some peace of mind while theyre away; not to rip you off or anything like that. Let me help you by letting me know what works best for you! When I pet sit, I like to give the pet a variety of stimulation. Playing with toys can be fun, followed by physical stimulation (pets!), and walks or play dates with other pets if allowed! Of course if they are on a schedule that’s different! If overnight sitting, I prefer to sleep with the pet, when allowed, but I understand if thats not feasible or I might not spend the night. I like pets in pens as little as possible, but sometimes its unavoidable. When walking, I prefer at least 20 minute walks, with my ideal walk being 45 to 90 minutes. I like to bring dog bags with me as well as a rubber water bowl and maybe some toys if theres a park nearby. If you just want me to hang with your pet for a bit, I would love to! I love to hang out with pets - at parties that usually where you’re going to find me, but their safety and comfort is important to me, so if we can match, I’d be happy to spend time with them!
“I’m so happy we found Maisie. I love that she lives close by and absolutely adores animals. I have two rambunctious Pitbulls and she handles them perfectly. Having her come to the house to let them in, give them treats and settle them down has made a huge difference this busy week. When I got home, they were relaxed and happy. I’m so relieved to know that I have back up.”

I’m able to provide consistent care, timely check-ins, and dependable availability for pets who need attention while their owners are away.

“Sam was amazing! She loves on my boy as if he were her own. She is prompt and always takes the sweetest pictures for Dax’s report card. I’d recommend her a hundred times over, and will definitely be hiring her again!”


About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was very young. I have experience with cats, dogs, guinea pigs, horses and rabbits. I have two cats of my own and they are my little babies. I have a 1 year old mini aussie who loves to play and go on walks. I know how important animals are to a family and I will take care of them like my own :) I’m currently a full time nurse working three days a week. You can expect me to be free most Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays! My schedule changes but my availability will be updated! I have experience with dog walking, feeding, and playtime. I have a high energy dog myself and understand breeds that need more attention and playtime.
About: I have over 20 years of experience with owning and taking care of other dogs. From puppies to seniors. Families have entrusted me to care for their dogs as they know I treat them as family. I have some experience with training and will always follow pet owner instructions. I know it's not always easy to leave your pets behind or for long hours. That's why they will always have care and attention through me. I work from home, so I am almost always home during the week. I'm usually never gone for long hours at a time. I have a clear view of the dog's whereabouts. I will always be visible to the dog and provide fun and care. If care is in my home, I have a fenced yard and doggie door.
Rita Ranch pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jennifer does a wonderful job! Our dog had gotten a limp the night before and we had to leave early the next day but I felt very comfortable that Jen would keep us posted on things and she did. We really appreciate her care for Charlie. Will always recommend her. 😊
