Belle was very kind and I felt comfortable leaving Capone & Leo with her. When we came home, the boys were very happy and I could tell they liked having Belle with them as they were calm & comtent. Very quick to respond!

Amy was fabulous! We used her last minute and ran into a few complications with our trip, she was flexible and helpful. She treated our pets like they were her own! We’ll be using her again.

As first time Rover clients, we couldn't be happier with the service and Jenna in particular! She was kind and compassionate and helped our old boy feel safe and comfortable.

About: I have 20+ years of hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with animals of all ages, from young pets needing extra attention to seniors requiring more gentle, specialized care. My experience includes feeding routines, walks, litter box changes and cleaning, playtime, enrichment, and maintaining each pet’s normal schedule to keep them happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work at a school as a para/CNA so I am available for late afternoons after 3:15pm, evenings, weekends, holiday breaks, and summer break! I provide attentive in-home pet care so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I care for both yoga and cats with services including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box changes or cleaning, medication support if needed, and lots of companionship. I prioritize keeping pets safe, stress-free, and happy while maintaining their normal schedule and giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.

Quinn was absolutely amazing with our pups! We had a last minute trip that required someone to stay with our dogs at our house for 7 days and Quinn went over and beyond. She took our dogs to the apartment dog park daily and played with them for hours. Would recommend Quinn to anyone needing a loyal pet sitter who will treat your animals like her own. When we returned she washed all the bed sheets and tidy up the house so we returned to a clean home.

Justus did an AMAZING job of watching my 1year old German Shepherd, Violet! She was there for 3 days and she sent tons of photos and updates so I didn't have to worry. She played with her a lot, left my house spotless and was respectful of everything there. I know Violet will love having her back next time I have to go out of town with her. Lastly, if she can handle my puppy and her energy for 3 days.. she can handle anything!

About: I am a stay at home dog , mom with a flexible schedule. I first learned by helping my grandfather and stepdad, who were coon dog hauler. I cleaned the kennels, fed dogs, and learned how to read behavior from a young age. As an adult, I’ve worked with reactive and nervous dogs, including a foster dog with aggression who taught me a lot about triggers, stress, and safe handling. I live in a duplex that feels like a house, not a basic apartment. Dogs have plenty of room to relax and explore, plus a calm environment where they can settle in. I have experience with reptiles as I have had three iguanas and a bearded dragon when I was Younger. My first emotional support animal was a lion head Rabbit. I have knowledge and experience working With cats. My mother had two rag doll , cats and a mainecoon that I used to care for. What I Offer: Overnight boarding and dog sitting Enrichment activities (puzzles, scent games, scavenger hunts) & gentle Decompression walks. I believe every dog needs time for sniffing and exploring the world. Therefore, I take my time on walks and let them be dogs! Safe handling for reactive or anxious dogs. A calm, patient environment with structure I personalize each stay based on your dog’s needs so they feel safe, happy. I am currently home most mornings and afternoons. which keeps my schedule flexible day-to-day. Because of that, I’m able to work around most timing needs — early mornings are best on the weekends. Late afternoons, evenings, and overnight care when needed. If anything in my life changes (like school) I have a 5 year old springer doodle Who is my best friend. He gets along well with most dogs. I definitely have to do meet and greets beforehand. I have plenty of time for walks and Drop in visits. I would love to play with your pups and spend quality time with them. I will treat your home with the utmost care and your pet with affection. You'll receive consistent updates and photos for complete peace of mind".

About: Throughout my life, I've immersed myself in the joy of caring for animals, with a special affinity for dogs. Growing up, our home was always filled with the delightful presence of pets, and I naturally became the go-to person among my family and friends for all their pet-sitting needs. Whether it's overnight stays or providing casual playtime, walks, and bathroom breaks, I've got it covered. Overflowing with love and positive energy, I assure you that your furry companions will thrive under my attentive care.

However, my weekends are wide open, providing a flexible and reliable option for your pet care needs. While looking after your pets at your place, I'll stick to their usual routines, making sure they get their meals and playtime on schedule. Whether it's just quick check-ins, leisurely strolls, or easy overnight stays, I'm all about keeping your pets happy and chill in the coziness of their own home.

Kylee is an exceptional dog sitter! She was incredibly patient and communicative, keeping us updated with lots of pictures. Even though our dog was a bit of a handful and rowdy during her visit, Kylee went above and beyond. She was honest and respectful throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Kylie did a great job taking care of our dog. She kept me up to date of how things were going and sent photos. Our dog can be very nervous and it was great to not have to worry about her being taken care of while we were gone. Would highly recommend.
