“Amanda was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and I felt so safe and comfortable with her watching my kitties. My apartment unfortunately had a leak while I was away, and she went above and beyond to make sure that it was taken care of. She provided photos every day of my boys and spent time getting to know them and building trust by giving them treats and hanging out with them. 10/10! Thank you, Amanda!”


“Mandy was amazing! She took the time to get my nervous pup comfortable with her and we were able to relax on our vacation knowing our dogs were in great hands. So grateful for her care and will absolutely be using her again for any trips in the future.”

“I was worried my dog would have anxiety and a hard time being boarded in a new environment with loud noises, and unfamiliar people. She hasn’t had much human interaction and barks out of fear. I’m so glad i used Rover and met Joseph, my trip was very relaxing, I didn’t have to worry about Bell and her safety at all. I was in full contact with joseph the entire trip and received photos daily. Highly recommend!!”

Not only did Scarlett take perfect care of my home and furbabies, but also went above and beyond in caring for and keeping me updated on the neighborhood crew. 10/10 service, experience and care.”


“Courtney was always on time, feeding our 4 cats the way she was asked, playing with them and keeping place clean. She was keeping us posted about how they are doing, sending pictures after every visit. We could totally enjoy our few days trip!”


“Josilyn is wonderful with animals and a lifesaver! She was able to stop by and give me peace of mind during an emergency. I was in a stressful situation and she took some of the pressure off so that I could deal with what was happening in the moment. Priceless!!!”


“I am thrilled to have found Shira! She is a lovely person and my cats warmed up to her immediately. Even my elderly, former feral cat loved her. She was quick to communicate about a potential issue with one of the kitties on the first day and it was solved almost immediately. I came home to relaxed and happy cats with immaculate dishes and litter-boxes. It is clear that Shira loves animals and I feel so at peace knowing that I have someone trustworthy to watch my babies in the future.”


About: ✨A Pet Care Experience Rooted in Love & Trust✨ When you leave your dog with me, they’re not just watched—they’re deeply cared for, prayed over, and loved like family. I believe every animal is a creation of God, deserving of gentleness, safety, and joy. Whether it’s a peaceful nap, a playful walk, or a quiet cuddle, your pup will be surrounded by calm, loving presence. I specialize in caring for senior dogs and those with medical needs—this isn’t just a service; it’s a calling. As a dog mom to a senior pup myself, I understand the importance of patience, comfort, and consistent care. I’m confident in giving medications, supporting mobility, and reading subtle changes in behavior. I don’t just meet physical needs—I nurture the emotional and spiritual well-being of every dog in my care. I play worship music during rest time, keep a peaceful environment, and speak blessings over each furry guest. My goal is simple: that your dog would feel safe, loved, and completely at peace while you’re away. You can rest knowing that your best friend is being cared for with intention, compassion, and prayer. This is more than pet care-it's a ministry of love and peace. I offer flexible and dependable pet sitting services with a fully open schedule to accommodate your furry family members’ needs. Without current job constraints, I’m able to provide personalized care, medication administration, and attentive companionship for dogs and cats of all ages. Whether it’s regular visits, overnight stays, or last-minute requests, I’m committed to ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. My adaptable availability means I can tailor my support around your schedule and your pets’ routines, delivering peace of mind with professionalism and genuine care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I create a peaceful, grounded environment where animals feel secure and cared for, whether I’m stepping into their space or welcoming them into mine. With years of hands-on experience, especially with senior pets and those needing medication, I bring a calm, attentive presence that animals quickly respond to. You can trust that I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same respect, gentleness, and responsibility I give my own. My goal is to bring peace of mind—knowing your pets are not just safe, but genuinely cared for.
