“Luke was great! He sent pictures each day and gave me an update. He never gave up on winning over one of my cats and it finally paid off. I appreciate his professionalism.”

“Michelle was just absolutely wonderful with Snow and Storm. This was my first experience with Rover and Michelle's hospitality has made me a satisfied customer. Thank you!”


“Jean is the best; she’s the most responsible, most knowledgable animal caretaker I’ve encountered in my 15 years of living in the QC, and frankly, in my entire long life. My grumpy 15 yr. old cat appreciates her respectful behaviors and I finally feel secure in the knowledge that he will get the best care when I travel or have to suddenly go to the hospital, which has been a thing lately that has caused me so much worry. Those anxieties are a thing of the past, thank goodness!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all breeds and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, giving medications if needed, and sticking to any instructions that help keep your dog happy and stress-free. I understand how important routine and attention are, and I treat every dog like they’re my own! I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is to make sure your dog gets plenty of care, exercise, affection, and companionship while you’re gone. I’d love to meet you and your dog(s)! I'm a May 2026 Augie grad who is navigating my first full time job post grad, but with a pretty flexible schedule outside of that! I am free weekends at pretty much any time and Monday thru Friday after 4pm. I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and care based on their individual needs and energy levels. For cat sitting, I understand the importance of patience and creating a calm environment so cats can feel comfortable at their own pace while maintaining a clean litter box, offering attention (if wanted), and of course food/treats and water. I always follow owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, leash handling, litter box cleaning, and any special routines or preferences. Safety is very important to me, so I’m attentive during walks, careful with doors and gates, and always mindful of pets’ behavior and surroundings. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and in good hands while they’re away.
“Emerson is INCREDIBLE! Our pups can be particular and she took the time to get to know them and their unique personalities! She is patient and truly cares about the pups. We will most definitely book her again!”

“Sophia did an amazing job following my instructions and taking care of my pets (ferrets and cats) when we were gone for the weekend. She has been easy to reach and left detailed report cards after each visit.”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 9. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets while they were out of town. I have experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities of dogs from gentle greyhounds to energetic border collies! I also have experience petsitting multiple dogs and cats at once. I am a teacher on summer break so I have lots of time and attention to devote to your animals! I am available at any time of the day. I have a fenced in backyard and currently no animals in my house. I live walking distance from a lot of great dog walking spots! I am also available to care for pets in their own home.

About: Ever since I was little, I have taken care of both young and senior animals, dogs and cats. I share love all the same no matter the size, age, or breed. I work full time, 9am-5pm on Monday and Tuesday, then 8am-4pm on Wednesday, friday, and Sunday. I am open to leaving work on my break, which can be taken at any time to feed, play, or let your animals outside. I will utilize the environment in which your pets are in to ensure they have the best and safest time possible, whether that's playing in the yard, walking your furry friends, or just lounging inside.
“Abby was prompt and sent pictures of my little guy during the visit. When we got home, he was very happy! I highly recommend Abby. She is great with animals and very trustworthy.”

“Jessica was very easy to work with and attentive to our dogs. She checked in each time, sent us pictures and noted how they are doing. Highly recommend and will use her again!!!”

About: I’ve caring for all sorts of animals since I was a little girl. I grew up caring for rabbits, gerbils, birds, lizards, cats and dogs. My family friend had a pitbull dog sanctuary, saving so many dogs from euthanasia. Growing up in an environment where every animal life is important, gives me the insane amount of love I have for all animals. I have volunteer experience at the Whatcom Humane Society located the Seattle area. I also have taken care of many different breeds of cats and dogs, knowing each has particularly personalities and require different things. I have had very timid and social cats, as well as seriously hyper or very mellow dogs. Exercise is really important to me when it comes to animals that need it. I can and will do everything I can to make sure your pet gets the exercise it wants and needs, as well as playing and getting the love and nurture all animals deserve regardless of look and size. Our fur babies are more than pets, they are family! I work from 4am - 9am everyday except Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am also a student, so it depends on who books first and what times they have booked for the day. My two cats thankfully get along well now, but for about 7 months I had to keep them separate and stayed committed to a slow introduction for safety and for the best possibility for bonding. I have patience and I can and will take all safety precautions necessary (as instructed).
“Mandy was fantastic and took care of my two dogs very well. Kept them happy and in high spirits while I was gone. She played with them and gave them belly scratches. Great communication, and response times. Provided wonderful pictures every visit.”
About: I have plenty of personal experience I have two energetic dogs very playful and I love them . I’m an animal lover I plan on going to school for veterinary My availability is completely open and flexible to any schedule provided Monday -Friday just communicate with me please I’m willing to workout with anything available I have an apartment and I take my dogs on a field trip to the dog park for long walks and sometimes we may get a pup cup

“Tia was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend. My anxious pup absolutely adored her and got the most amazing attention and care. Tia’s updates were thorough and it is evident that not only my pup loves her but Tia loves what she does. Thank you!”

About: I have experience house/dog sitting. In the past year, I've watched and taken care of three large dogs, a Boxer, and two Labradors, many times. For about two weeks or more depending on the owner's schedule. The boxer has some health issues so I also have some experience with giving medication. I've taken care of two Great Danes who I would classify as loving adorable couch potatoes. I also own two small dogs. My first dog was a Maltese she lived till she was ten but the last year of her life she also had some health issues. I currently have a dog who is also a Maltese Bichon Frise mix who just turned eleven. He is energetic so I'm a very active person and can keep up with your pups too. I understand the importance of giving your pup all the love and attention they need to have a happy life. I will do my very best to provide that for your animals too! I work full time at a car dealership up in the office. I am in the office by 7:00 am and I am typically off by 3:00 pm. I can do late in the evening walks or around when I get off. For drop ins\check ins I could come early in the morning for one and later in the evening for the other on a weekday. As long as it isn't end of month or mid month Fridays I can be off by 1pm. Weekend I am off so I'm more fixable with what I can fit in. I offer drop-in visits and dog walks. During visits, I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and any routine care requested by the owner. During walks, I ensure pets get safe exercise and attention while following their normal routine. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication with pet owners.
About: I've watched beloved fur babies for friends and family for 15 years or more. Mostly got into it by word of mouth and my flexible availability. I can provide references if needed. Since I was young we have always had animals, and it's easy for me to be in a routine feeding them..just as I would myself. I meal prep and train regularly. So schedules are regular and second nature for me. I will care for your pet to your specific needs as possible. Weather it be certain potty schedules, and/or medication schedule. I have no problem adhering to the best of my power. I do work full time 8 hour days, & off most weekends. But can be flexible
