Jessica was flexible and responsive. I had a short notice request and she was able to accommodate. Jessica was also able to establish an immediate connection with my dog, they had never met. Thank you Jess!

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and currently have a cat of my own. I grew up around lots of dogs through friends and family and have always been very comfortable with them and around different personalities and energy levels. I am also a very active person who loves being outside, going on walks and spending time in nature - having a pet join me is just an added bonus! I’m naturally an early riser and love starting my day outside. Since I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, check-ins, and giving pets attention throughout the day. I think the best care comes from paying attention to each pet’s personality and needs. Every pet is different and I want them to feel safe, happy, and enjoy our time together.

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and cats, too! I’ve been pet sitting for 7 years. I am certified in Cat and Dog First Aid through the American Red Cross, which demonstrates my preparedness to handle pet emergencies. This includes CPR for dogs and cats, wound care, and behavioral signs. I am skilled in administering medications, including insulin. I treat every pet like family. You can expect lots of love, playtime, and dependable care while you’re away! The summer for my industry is slow and pet sitting with rover would be fun and also fill my weekly schedule. For Overnight house sitting, it starts at 6pm and ends at 9am. For Boarding care, I do not have any pets and I have a back yard to play around in! Feel free to request, even if it’s last minute or same day! I treat every pet with respect when I first meet them. I always make sure to read their body language and let them get to know me first. I love to play and give your pet lots of attention. I always make sure to follow their routine. I also give regular updates with photos or videos!

About: Taking care of pets fills my heart with joy. I'm really aware of the owner's preference of care for their pets and go above and beyond to deliver what they expect from a caring and professional sitter to provide their peace of mind. I'm a full time office manager that can spend early mornings 7am- 8:30am with your fur babies, 12:30pm-2:30pm for lunch breaks and after 6:30pm on week days. Weekends can be consulted. I look forward on making your pet feel as happy as they can be while following your care instructions through and meeting your expectations and providing you peace of mind.

About: Hello! My name is Stephanie and I'm a stay at home mom. I’m home throughout the day and have the flexibility to provide reliable drop in visits and unrushed walks. I enjoy getting outside and staying active, so daily walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. During drop in visits, I make sure your pet’s needs are fully met with fresh water, feeding, potty breaks, play, and of course lots of affection. For walks, I prioritize safety, awareness, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation at their own pace. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Whether your dog is high energy and loves long walks or prefers a slower, sniff and stroll pace, I’m happy to tailor each visit to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. You can feel confident knowing your fur baby will receive attentive, dependable care and be treated like family while you’re away. As a stay at home mom, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to offer flexible scheduling for drop in visits and walks. I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s needs whether that’s a morning potty break, a midday visit, or an afternoon walk. Because I’m already in a structured routine, I’m dependable and consistent. I understand how important timing is for feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, and medication if needed, and I make punctuality a priority. Weekdays are typically very open, and I’m also available for many weekends with advance notice. My goal is to provide reliable care that feels seamless and stress free for both you and your pet. When caring for pets, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. During drop in visits, I follow your pet’s routine closely, making sure they have fresh water, proper feeding, clean litter boxes, and safe spaces to relax. I always supervise interactions and pay attention to any changes in behavior or health. For walks, I keep dogs on a leash at all times, stay aware of surroundings, and adjust the pace and route to suit their energy level and comfort. I also make sure your home stays secure by keeping doors locked, gates closed, and anything potentially harmful out of reach. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with gentle care, respect for their personality, and patience while building trust. My goal is to create a safe, stress free, and happy experience for your fur baby while you’re away.

I cannot recommend Marrianne enough! She did an absolutely amazing job caring for my dog. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such caring and capable hands. She went above and beyond — sending regular updates, photos, and thoughtful notes after each walk. It was obvious my dog was happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyed their time together. I came home to a relaxed, well-exercised, and very content pup. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and truly passionate about what they do. I will definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member! Thank you again for everything! 🐾💛

She kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear that Murci really enjoyed his time with her. I’m sure he’s going to miss her (and so will we!). Thank you, Genesis, for walking and caring for him with so much love. Highly recommended!
