Savannah exceeded our expectations. Our 3 puppies were so happy with her and fell in love. I got to come home to my puppies who had no anxiety. Can’t wait for her to hang out with them again!

We were very happy with Kayla. She followed our instructions for house sitting and accomplished everything we needed. Our home was neat and clean upon our return and she did a good job of watering our flowers. Most importantly, our pup like her right away. Kayla took her on walks and the neighbors that she ran into thought she was nice, polite, and taking good care of our pup. We received photos from Kayla every day and in them, our pup seemed relaxed which was reassuring. We will definitely use her again.

Kelly was amazing! She was very professional, great to work with and was so good to our animals. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous at first, but then we met Kelly and our worries disappeared. Kelly exceeded our expectations, we will definitely use her any time we need a pet sitter (as long as she’s available)!

About: I’ve been the family baby/dog sitter since I was 13! My whole family have always had pets and relied on me to take care of them! I’ve also taken care of my neighbors dog for several years enthusiastically. I’ve always found dogs to be the closest comfort, which is a reason to trust me. I’d take care of your dog like my own, as I hold them mine very close to my heart. I have a part time job working with kids, so I’m very available to book! I’m fully available four days of the week and I always have time to spend with your fur friends before and after work. In my home, I occasionally use a crate for my german shepherd, most of the time he is loose. He’s gotten accustomed to sleeping on my bed or my parent’s bedroom and we feed him early in the morning. Following his morning meal is a long walk. We make sure he’s well groomed with daily brushing and a wash once a week. Levi has allergies so we make sure to always apply topical remedies and purchase a high quality kind of dog food.

About: I was a dog owner for 15 years, pet sat for friends and family, volunteered for the ASPCA, and have experience working with a variety of animals, not just cats and dogs. I am currently a part-time substitute teacher so I am free most of the summer and once I begin classes in the fall, I will be available most of the week. I can easily read your pet’s body language & understand if (s)he wants affection right away or needs some space. Leashes will always be used outside and I will scan the ground to make sure your dog doesn’t eat anything (s)he shouldn’t!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and senior pets, and I understand how important patience and consistency are for their comfort. I’m attentive to subtle changes in behavior, maintain familiar routines, and provide a calm, low-stress environment—especially for older pets who may need extra support with mobility, medications, or special diets. Whether it’s playtime, quiet companionship, or gentle care, I make sure every pet feels safe, respected, and well cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the week. I’m able to plan my day around visits, feedings, playtime, and check-ins, making sure your cat’s routine stays as normal and stress-free as possible. Whether it’s morning, midday, or evening care, I have the availability to give your pet the time, attention, and reliability they deserve. In my home, pets have access to a large, fully fenced backyard for safe play and exercise, along with a smaller fenced area that’s perfect for more controlled time, introductions, or pets who need a quieter space. Inside, I keep a calm, clean environment and follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, rest, and comfort. In clients’ homes, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal schedule to reduce stress—keeping things familiar with feeding times, litter box care, play, and companionship. I’m attentive, respectful of your space, and always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency.

About: Hi, I’m Alec. I’ve been around dogs and cats for over 20 years, and what sets me apart is my drive and hunger to provide the best care possible. I don’t just “watch” pets—I stay engaged, attentive, and focused on their comfort and safety. I take pride in being dependable, consistent, and going the extra step so your pets are well cared for every time. My schedule as a 1099 contractor is very flexible, and outside of work my routine is mostly going to the gym, spending time with family, and occasionally taking vacations. Because of that flexibility, pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle—I can easily adjust my time and prioritize pet sitting when needed. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I will care for pets in a calm, safe, and attentive environment, whether in my home or the client’s home. I make sure their basic needs are always met, including feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks, and daily exercise like walks and playtime. In my home, I keep the space clean, quiet, and pet-friendly so animals feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely so the pet feels secure in a familiar environment and experiences as little disruption as possible.

About: I focus on giving each dog consistent attention, patience, and a calm environment so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow care instructions exactly, keep routines consistent, and communicate clearly with daily updates and photos. I’m especially attentive to each dog’s behavior and energy level, making sure they get the right balance of play, rest, and care while you’re away. Pet care fits into my routine in a very consistent and flexible way. I naturally build my schedule around reliability and attention to detail, so I’m used to checking in on responsibilities throughout the day rather than letting things pile up. On a daily basis, I can dedicate time in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks, feeding, playtime, and any needed check-ins on weekends. Evenings during the week. I’m good at adjusting my schedule to match the pet’s routine, whether that means early morning walks or evening drop-ins. On a weekly level, I plan ahead so I can make sure I’m available for longer care periods like overnights or multiple visits per day. I’m also comfortable being consistent with routines like medication schedules, exercise, and keeping the pet’s environment clean and safe. Overall, I treat pet care like a real responsibility, not something I “fit in” when convenient I structure my time around it to make sure the pet stays comfortable and cared for. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping the pet’s routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow the instructions exactly as provided feeding schedule, portion sizes, walk times, medication (if any), and any specific behavior or care notes about the pet. For daily care, I make sure the pet gets attention, exercise, and interaction, not just basic needs. That can include walks, playtime, accidents if needed, refreshing water, and making sure the home is kept tidy and secure while I’m there. I’m also careful about safety double checking doors, gates, leashes, and making sure pets don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. I pay attention to how the pet is acting so I can notice any changes in mood, appetite, or behavior and communicate that right away if something seems off. I don’t just “stop by and do tasks” I treat it like I’m temporarily responsible for the pet’s wellbeing and comfort, and I make sure they feel calm and cared for while their owner is away.
