“Dara was absolutely wonderful and we highly recommend her as a pet sitter! This is the first time we have used Rover to find a sitter for our fur baby while we were out of town, but we are so glad we found Dara. Her communication was exceptional, and she even sent us pictures of our fur baby running around and playing. Thank you so much for watching Isabella for us!”
“Heather was very communicative about our Nova girl, she took good care of her and made sure she was loved while we were away! We are very happy and will definitely have our Nova be watched by her in the future!”
“My dog loved staying at Caryn’s. Her dogs are very sweet and they went out of their way to help him feel as part of the family. The large fenced yard was a big plus!”
“Rebecca was incredibly sweet and welcoming to my last-minute request! She was super prompt to respond and kept me updated with Beignet with photos as well! I'll absolutely be booking with her again!! Thank you so much!”
“Debbie was great with Ringo! We felt so at ease leaving our little buddy in her home for over a week. It was hard for us to leave him, but we knew he was in good hands and would have other doggie friends to keep him busy. We really loved getting the pictures everyday, so that we could see what he was up to. Thanks Debbie!”
“Aleicia took great care of Coach!! She and her husband were very kind. She asked questions about how to best care for Coach and made sure he felt comfortable in her space. We will definitely book again!”
“We are so happy to have found Lindsey, she took excellent care of our two golden retrievers! She has a very spacious backyard for the dogs to play in which is great. Lindsey was great about sending pictures and videos during the stay that made us feel peace of mind while on vacation. She also washed our dogs blankets and towels before sending them home :) we will definitely book with her again :)”
“We loved Holly! She was pleasant to communicate with. She welcomed myself and our pups into her home with ease. She kept us updated throughout their overnight stay, sent pictures and videos. Ive never seen my two pups warm up to someone as quickly as they did Holly! She was great!”
“JP was awesome with Rudy and Bella. This was my first time boarding and she put me at ease. She sent pictures multiple times and always answered my questions right away. I will be using her anytime I need to board my babies. Thank you JP for allowing me a wonderful holiday with family.”
“Brittany is EXACTLY what my senior dog needed. She met all his needs plus some and understood all his quirks. Even gave him a bath with a bonus bandana before pickup ?. She was able to feed him medicine and carry him up/down stairs. Very accomadable to providing him comfort with his multiple beds, blankets and pillows. Her family and children reacted well and she sent plenty of updates, pictures and videos to make me feel at ease. I have full confidence that any pet will feel welcome in her cozy log cabin home sitting on a couple acres with plenty of grass area for them to run and play. Brittany was able to provide constant supervision for my dementia boy who panics when alone. He had no anxiety while with her and didn't even care that I left, he felt right at home with Brittany. So glad she was available and local to home, it was a yuge relief!!”

“Our Trooper is a high needs dog and Danielle did an outstanding job with him. It is easy to see she loves animals of all shapes and sizes. Every picture sent our boy was smiling! We are over the moon with the fantastic care she provided and are thankful to have found a sitter that is incredibly kind and caring! We HIGHLY recommend her and appreciate all she did - walks, introducing our big guy to cats and play time with her terrier. It was lovely for us and Trooper!”
“Chino was well taken care of while I was away. Chino is shy and when I picked her up she did not seem shy at all with them, especially with Shannon's lovely daughter. I would recommend her and she also has a privacy fence surrounding her backyard, which put me at ease also.I would definitely ask for her services again!”
“Mishael and her family were amazing caretakers of our little guy - a chihuahua mix. I was nervous to board him because it was NYE and we were visiting from out of town however she matched the glowing reviews from other clients and quickly put us at ease. I forgot his food of all things and she dipped into her supply. When he cried at night they allowed him to sleep with a family member. They made it look easy with kids and dogs!! I’m so grateful we found them. Thank you!!”
“Liliya was amazing to work with!! She kept our two fur babies while we traveled for an extended weekend. She kept in touch, sending pictures, and making us feel comfortable about the family our pups were with. Open communication. Easy and friendly to work with!”
About: With many years of experience as a veterinary technician in both shelter and clinic settings, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and care to every pet I work with. My hands-on experience ranges from administering medications and handling emergencies to comforting anxious pets and supporting their emotional well-being. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, making me exceptionally well-prepared for pet sitting, dog walking, and providing attentive, professional care. Your pets will be in the hands of someone who treats them with the same compassion, patience, and expertise that I’ve developed over years in the field! I love being able to meet other people's fur babies and make them feel safe and happy when under my care.❤️ I am currently only working two days a week at my veterinary clinic, which leaves me with a fairly open and flexible schedule. This allows me plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, dog walking, and providing reliable, attentive care for your pets when you need it most. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and behavior. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm atmosphere. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their regular routine to reduce stress, keep their space tidy, and make sure they feel secure and loved while their owners are away. My background as a veterinary technician means I’m also confident handling any special needs or medical situations that may arise.
