“Hillary was very communicative, flexible, and friendly. She was very attentive to our feeding/medicine instructions and communicated with me about what would be best. She did so much to help our dog, Marty, settle in. Marty came home happy and exhausted.”


“First time Rover user and am so happy. Dogs well taken care of. hosts were lovely people who really made the difference. they sent lots of photos and could tell dogs happy and well cared for in a lovely home. highly recommend.”


“Hannah did an absolute stellar job. Of course she is almost overly qualified, and I had no reservations of leaving my cat in her care. She was very responsive and flexible, which made it so much easier! Can’t recommend enough.”


“Awesome. This was a rebook with Deb but with our new pup, Baley. She was attentive and loving as with our other dog who passed on. Her calm demeanor always puts us at ease. The yard is full of love, in this peaceful country setting. Our puppy loved her and her husband. ❤️ Peggy and Chris B”


“STOP scrolling and BOOK NOW, you and your pups will be so happy u did!! Not gonna lie, I wasn't sure if my furbabies would want to come home when it was time for us to pick them up 😂 Prior to their stay, I chatted with the host, Joe, via Rover - he was super responsive and answered all my questions. Any hesitation I had about leaving our furbabies with a "stranger" were quickly washed away, I could just feel his great vibes through our chat! And when we met in person for drop off, I was sure of my decision! During their stay Joe sent us update photos, it was so great to not just see my furbabies, but to see that they were happy! Joe is simply amazing and Ms. Lilabet is the cutest dog co-host! It is soooo super evident that our furbabies were well-loved and taken care of, and that means everything to us 💜🐾💜🐾”


“Cory did an excellent job, start to finish. He communicated in a timely and clear manner, was flexible, and sent pictures of our pup every day. Our dog came home happy and exhausted! We will definitely book with Cory again!”


“Liana and her family were lovely! I was in town and needed a place last minute for my 6 month old puppy to stay for the night. She welcomed him with open arms and he had a blast. They are very knowledgeable about dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving him there. They asked all the right questions and even gave me some great advice on how to help train him. We will be back whenever I am in town visiting friends. Thank you so much☺️”


“Beth was fantastic. We had never left our girl for so long but she made it super easy…sending pics and updates on a regular basis. We will definitely be using Beth again!!”


“Joanna took good care of my cat sunny for almost weeks. Gave him his seizure medication (a strict 3x a day every 8 hour) which was not easy to do. She is an animal lover herself and will definitely recommend her.”


“Mairany was a perfect cat sitter!! She took really good care of Nala. She definitely went above and beyond with all the pictures and text she sent. I would highly recommend Mairany as a pet sitter and will definitely be rebooking Nala with her!!”


“Danielle was amazing with our cat, Kinako! This was her first time being away from home, but it was very obvious from the pictures and updates that she was in great hands. It was also her first time being around so many other pets, but they were very sweet with her and she seemed surprisingly at ease :) We're excited to book with Danielle again whenever we're out of town!”


About: I've owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, from raising litters of puppies to nursing sick kittens back to health. I’ve trained working ranch dogs, cared for senior pets, and managed special diets. I work from home, so your pet gets my full attention. Whether it’s playtime, walks, meals, or cuddles, their needs come first, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I provide loving, attentive pet care in my home or yours, following routines, ensuring proper nutrition, exercise, and comfort. Whether it's walks, playtime, or special needs, I treat them like family.

“Everything went super smoothly. I had a couple of schedule changes, and Brandy was SUPER flexible and understanding about the changes. I got updates and some beautiful pictures as well. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I bring a calm, reliable presence and a deep understanding of animal behavior across all ages and species. With hands-on experience caring for everything from playful puppies to gentle senior pets — as well as exotic companions like parrots — I adapt my care to each animal’s unique needs. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to keep pets on their regular routine and give them consistent attention. I’m comfortable with crate training, potty training, administering medication, and supporting senior dogs or animals with special needs. Every pet in my care is treated like family — safe, understood, and genuinely loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I work from home, I’m able to build my schedule around the pets in my care — whether that means regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or quiet companionship. My own pets have taught me the importance of consistency and attention, so I’m always mindful of keeping each pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit in — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and right at home here. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I do have an underground fence system with extra collars for dogs who are trained to use it. Otherwise, all outside time is fully supervised, whether on a leash or in the yard. Inside, my home is pet-friendly, calm, and set up to give animals their own space if they need it. I keep things clean, low-stress, and consistent with whatever routine they’re used to. I’m always nearby since I work from home, so your pet gets lots of attention and care throughout the day.

I would definitely recommend Pamela to other and would love to have her back again. I came home to happy and content pups.”
