About: I've been responsible for taking care of pets ever since I can remember- cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments. However, for the past few years I've been traveling a lot and so do not have any pets currently. Throughout the years, I've been a Vet Tech and adopted and fostered puppies through hospice dogs and several cats, and have had extremely friendly and reactive dogs. I'm willing to meet your pet where they are. I work from home and really enjoy my area of the world, so I tend to be a homebody during the week. I go for daily beach walks and enjoy swimming when it's warm enough. My neighborhood is great for walking, too. I love to get out and hike or explore on the weekends, but am also happy with projects around the house. High energy pups and couch potatoes are both welcome. I have a 4 foot fenced in yard and plenty of couch space. It's important to do what I can to help your pet be comfortable in a new environment, so I try to keep to their schedule as much as possible. I do have a large crate and room for you to bring your own if that works better. The ticks are out in force so please make sure your dog is on preventive. I cannot accept dogs with bite history or food/toy aggression.

About: I’ve been walking and pet sitting for about 3 years. I am in my zone when I am around pets. I’m very patient and pay attention to each pet’s personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need extra comfort. I make sure they stay on their routine with feeding, walks, and playtime, and I always keep their environment clean and safe. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I currently offer dog walking and have a flexible schedule. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine for walks, exercise, and quick check-ins. I’m reliable and make sure your dog gets the time, attention, and movement they need. I always put your dog’s safety first during walks. I stay aware of our surroundings, keep a secure leash, and follow your instructions so your dog feels comfortable and safe the whole time.

Anders went above and beyond caring for Pippa during the power outage! I really appreciated the extra care for Pippa, going so far as to make an extra stop one day to see if the power had come back on, and hunting down my recycling bin which had blown into a neighbor's yard. I would definitely have Anders watch Pippa again!

About: New to here, but a lifelong dog person! I had my family dog for 16.5 years starting at 12 years old. 10 years ago I got my first big pup who did agility classes in his prime so I have experience with large, high-energy dogs. My 3rd adoptee is one of the large lazy ones, needing motivation to get his steps in! Currently living with my 9 year old medium pup who absolutely has some sass. I’m used to handling strong pullers, playful chaos, and dogs that like to test boundaries. I have experience helping friends and family with a variety of pet needs over the years. I’ll match your dog’s energy while keeping things safe, structured, and fun! I work full time during the week and have a pup of my own I care for. I have availability on weekends! Happy to spend time during my weekend to make sure yours goes off without a hitch! I am excellent at caring for your pet exactly how you would! I thrive on detailed instructions if you're a helicopter pet parent (like me!) or I can go with the flow if you're chill and confident with your furry family. Leashes, closed doors and gates, and lots of love will be priorities.

Crystal is an AMAZING cat-sitter — five stars honestly isn’t enough!! From the very beginning she was super quick to respond and so easy to communicate with. Every single day she sent the best detailed updates with photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She truly went above and beyond — not only did she manage our cat’s diabetic care perfectly (special food and insulin shots handled flawlessly!), but she even left us a framed photo of our cat. Who does that?! 🥹 When we got home, we could tell our cat genuinely missed Crystal — which says everything. We feel so lucky to have found her and would book her again in a heartbeat!

She sent great updates, pictures and picked up on some of our doggo's personality traits quickly which was nice to see! We would definitely book her again. Thanks Rachel!!

Though I’ve been a cat owner for over 13 years, with a new kitten in the house, I decided to look for a cat-sitter for the first time. I couldn’t have asked for a better one than Crystal. She is personable, communicative and clearly loves cats. Most importantly, she spent a lot of quality time with my cat, Winnie. I appreciated the thorough updates and pictures along the way. Would happily recommend Crystal to cat owners in the area.

Nicole took excellent care of our cat Moe while we were away. She clearly understands his personality and needs, and they picked right up where they left off from her previous caretaking visit. We received daily updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind. Most importantly, Moe was happy and completely himself when we returned. I highly recommend Nicole - she did a fantastic job!

We have used Fiona & Hannah several times now, and every single experience has been outstanding. They take exceptional care of our dog and consistently go above and beyond to ensure our pup is happy, comfortable, and well loved. The updates, photos, and communication make you feel as though you’re spending each day right alongside your dog, even while you’re away. It brings so much peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in such caring and capable hands. We truly feel we’ve found our dog sitters for life and couldn’t recommend Fiona & Hannah more highly.

Haley was absolutely incredible. I’ve used Rover many times, and this was by far the best experience I’ve ever had. From the moment we connected, she was professional, kind, and attentive. She asked thoughtful questions about my dog’s routines and quirks, and it was clear she genuinely cared about getting everything right. Throughout the stay, she sent consistent updates with pictures and little notes that showed she was paying real attention. My dog looked happy, relaxed, and totally at ease with her, which says everything. When I got home, my place was spotless, my dog was calm and content, and it was like I’d never left. Haley went above and beyond in every way. she treated my dog like her own, kept everything perfectly organized, and made the whole process effortless. If you’re lucky enough to get her as your sitter, don’t think twice. She’s exceptional.
