About: I have experience with many different types of pets like dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, bunnies, pigs & ferrets (just to name a few). I’ve had dogs my entire life and have two years of professional experience working in a dog daycare creating an understanding of dog behaviors. I strive to make every experience as comfortable and enjoyable for your fur babies! I have met so many dogs with different temperaments and needs to create a positive experience while in my care. I volunteer with the local shelter and take out foster dogs all the time and I love advocating for them too! I am so passionate about animal welfare and ensuring pet parents have someone they can trust to take care of their precious babies. I am currently a full time college student with full weekend availability but Monday-Thursday I am usually out of the house during the day 7-4:30 while Fridays I have a half day of classes, if this something that is okay with you. I will do my best to fit your needs. Please send me a message and we can work something out! I am a very patient person with animals and able to understand their body language to adjust based on their specific needs. I would love to keep your baby company with some hugs and kisses or respect their space in the same room! I have experience working with lots of different kinds of temperaments and can adjust my care based on makes you and your fur baby the most comfortable!

Olivia was reliable, communicative, and clearly very caring. I really appreciated the updates and photos — it gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. She was attentive to instructions and made sure my dog was well taken care of each visit. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable and kind pet care!

This was Rebekah’s first time sitting for our two cats and she was amazing! Our usually shy cat warmed up to her instantly, which is rare and meant so much to us. She sent great photos and videos and took excellent care of our babies. We felt totally at ease and would absolutely book with her again.

Hannah has taken care of my cats a few times and they really like her! She has supported me in a pinch twice when I needed a sitter asap for an out of town funeral and presently was flexible due to another passing in the family. Can’t tell you how grateful I am to have Hannah to take care of my fur babies while I handle emergencies or just take a much needed vacation.

About: Growing up in a home full of animals and with my parents being veterinarians, I truly believe that our pets are not just pets, they are family. You can rest assured that with my experience caring for my own family's pets, shadowing at my parents' vet practice on my pre-vet path, and with my master's degree in animal behavior your four-legged family will be safe and comfortable under my care. I am currently in between work after finishing graduate school, so my schedule is very flexible to give your pets the care and attention they need. It’s easy to worry about our pets when they’re out of our sight. Under my care, you can rest easy knowing that with my knowledge of animal health and behavior from my education and shadowing experience at a veterinary practice, I keep a keen eye out for any health or behavioral issues which may be affecting the comfort of your pets.

About: I have taken care of and loved pets my whole life, and have lots of experience with pet sitting as well including puppies and seniors. Experience includes feeding, walking, overnight stays, bathing, and administering any necessary medications that are part of their regimen. My promise is to provide quality care for your pet while you’re away, communication, and lots of belly scratches and love. I currently work full-time during the week. My availability is mostly weekdays after 5:30 and weekends. If needed on a Friday before 5:30, we can arrange something with enough notice. I can take care of your pet in your home, or do drop-ins when needed if it fits within my current availability. I can do whatever you need for your pet’s care and normal routine.

About: When I turned 20, I went to the pound and got my first dog Ellie. In the past years, she made me learn responsibility and love. I am currently unemployed because I am focusing on school! So I pretty much have open availability to spend time with your lovely pet and more! my biggest thing is quality time and love with your fur baby! We will be adventurous and find new scents around the neighborhood. I will also make sure that they get their playtime, get well fed, and clean up after any messes!

About: I grew up with beagles, and absolutely adore animals but I don’t own any at this time. I’ve had experience with both cats and dogs of different ages, breeds, and sizes. I did foster a young pup in college, and have also taken care of a few elderly doggies who needed extra TLC. Whoever your pet is, they will be loved and cared for just the same! I’m working part time during the week, so I will be able to spend plenty of time taking care of your pet(s) around my schedule! My schedule is pretty flexible before and after work as well. I leave everything as I found it in the house. When I have house sat and dropped by houses before, I’m always sure to be mindful of my surroundings and ensure it’s tidy. I also make sure I ask where any cleaning supplies are just in case there is an accident. I have found that each dog also has their own routine and favorite spots in the house, so I like to observe their behavior and follow them! I am there to cater to your pet, and as their sitter I am on their schedule, not mine.

Jasmine is AMAZING!!! We have 4 HIGH energy dogs with separation anxiety and we, ourselves, have mad anxiety about leaving them alone for any period of time. She was open to helping us scent-train our dogs to learn her smell before coming over. And she was also open to both meeting us and doing a trial visit before we booked out a longer trip. On the day of the actual visit, she was SO communicative + helpful the entire time. Plenty of pictures and the pups who are wary of strangers, LOVE HER. We are so relieved to have found the perfect dog sitter for our babies and can rest-easy knowing they will be in her care while we’re gone. Book her!!!

About: I treat every dog like they’re my own, giving them love, attention, and care no matter their age or personality. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, I make sure they feel safe and happy. Pet care already fits naturally into my routine because my dachshund is a big part of my day. I’m used to planning my schedule around walks, feeding times, and quality time, so adding another pup just feels like more love and fun in my week. I care for pets with the same love and attention I give my own dachshund. That means regular walks, playtime, feeding on schedule, and plenty of cuddles. I make sure their space is safe and comfortable, and I keep them happy, relaxed, and stress-free whether they’re at my home or theirs.

Hannah did an amazing job with virtually no notice. A medical appointment out-of-state and an unexpectedly closed kennel had us trapped. Hannah graciously stepped up from a few drop-ins for the cat to multiple visits for the dog AND the cat. She is someone our animals love and we can trust.

Here’s a short Rover review you can post: Leslie was phenomenal with my dog, Newman, while I was away. She provided excellent care, kept me updated, and gave me complete peace of mind throughout my trip. Newman was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable in her care. I highly recommend Leslie to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter!

Rebekah is absolutely exceptional. We trusted her with our cats while our family was overseas, and I honestly cannot imagine having enjoyed our trip as much as we did without her. She provided outstanding care for our pets and cared for our home as if it were her own. During our trip, she discovered a flea issue and immediately jumped into action. She purchased supplies, treated the cats, helped treat the house, kept us informed every step of the way, and handled a stressful situation with professionalism and genuine care. Knowing Rebekah was there allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation instead of worrying from thousands of miles away. She is dependable, proactive, communicative, and truly cares about the animals and families she works with. We came home to happy cats and a home that had been cared for with incredible attention and dedication. We are so grateful for everything she did and would recommend her without hesitation.
