“Nicole was so wonderful with all our 5 dogs. She truly goes above and beyond in keeping the area tidy, and we could tell that she truly cares for our dogs. She also utilizes feedback well and is such a team player! We loved her many daily photos, and it was so nice to know our dogs were in such caring and capable hands!”
“Jessica provided excellent care during drop-in visits for my senior kitty. She's a great communicator, took lots of pics and was willing to go the extra mile when there was a small issue. My kitty seemed very happy when I got home. Five stars all around and highly recommend. Thanks, Jessica!”
“Hannah was a godsend! At our first meet and greet Bentley took right to Hannah. It usually takes several visits before he even stops barking at visitors. I had peace of mind knowing that Bentley was going to be looked in on, fed and toileted. I especially liked pictures and the check in’s sent in my texts. I was able to vacation with no worries, enjoy myself and focus on new adventures with my daughter. I will definitely use Hannah again this summer. I’m so happy I found Rover!!”
“Bridget did multiple drop in visits a day for 5 days. She was punctual and she had early morning visits and late night visits. I felt very comfortable that she wouldn’t let us down. Bridget took time to play with our puppies and love on our kitty. When the opportunity arises I will definitely use her again!”
“Ashley was great with my cat! She made sure to text me updates and send great pictures of my cat while I was away. My cat is pretty shy, but Ashley made sure to go find her and get in some pets and playtime. Would definitely recommend Ashley!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for a long time, and have taken care of pets for friends and family for 10+ years. I love how different every dog is, and getting to understand how to take their individual needs into account. I do my best to adapt my schedule around the needs of the animals I care for, and currently have a lot of time available to walk, feed, and play with pets in my care. I prefer to have clear instructions when it comes to pet care, and try to keep the care I provide as similar to the care they already receive as possible.
About: I have had both dogs and cats as young as six years old and took care of all of them. I understand the requirements and exprectations for animal care. I have experience with mostly bigger dogs but also have a few years experience with smaller dogs. I also have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs. Including that, I have experience with special needs dogs such as blind, deaf, diabetic, and/or epileptic dogs. I hope I can be the person you can trust with your pet(s) to make your life a little easier. I have a very open schedule and can easily work around your needs and expectations. This also includes weekends, holidays, trips, etc. I can work with you! I have always had a fenced yard for my dogs and like to take them to the park so they get a chance to run around. My cats have their own cat trees, they have a window cage so they can get fresh air without getting outside. I also clean their litter box everyday to ensure that they are comfortable and it keeps the smell under control. All of my pets have an automatic water feeder so that they have access to water at all times. They get fed twice a day, morning and evening, and they get a treat midday.
About: I have taken care of animals, nearly my whole life. I have a wide variety of skills I bring to the table like walking, giving medications, bathing, etc. Your fur baby will be in good hands with me. I have lots of experience, caring for house pets like dogs and cats, as well as exotic pets such as rats and ferrets. I’m able to give injections, oral medications, and specialized care unique to your baby. I am currently in nursing school, so I have a regular 9-5 every Monday through Friday. Plenty of time to care for your sweet fur babies! My goal is to make sure your pet stays safe and sound throughout the day whether I am walking them on a leash, keeping them fenced in the yard, or simply making sure they’re happy and cozy.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets—dogs, cats, and small animals. From daily walks and feedings to administering medications and providing comfort, I’ve built trust with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to learn their routine, understand their behavior, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you always feel connected. I’m currently working part time so I will be available Saturdays from 12a-9p and Sunday 12a-9p. I also will take requests for other days, I can work with you! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible—feeding them on schedule, giving plenty of love and attention, keeping their space clean, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I respect their environment and follow any specific instructions closely. While I don’t currently have a dog in my own home, that allows me to give your pet my full attention without distractions. My dog currently passed so we have an electric fence but that’s it! If your pet stays with me, they’ll have a clean, calm, pet-friendly space with lots of one-on-one care, playtime, and love. I’m all about making them feel at home—whether it’s their place or mine.
About: I was raised around all kinds of animals. I respect the fact that they have their own boundaries and tolerance towards certain things. I love helping animals over come fears and building relationships with them. I own 2 dogs and 4 cats. Animal care is second nature to me. I enjoy all of their personalities and mannerisms. To me, life isn’t complete without a dog or cat by your side. My yard is not fenced in, but I have tie downs both in my front and backyard. I have 2 very friendly dogs to keep your fur baby entertained. If you have a cat, don’t worry we have a safe place set up in our home just for them.

Moth M.
“Last year, I took my son on a trip to Las Vegas for four days, and Moth generously stepped in to care for my pets. Not only did they keep my animals fed and happy, but they also stayed at the house the entire time to make sure everything ran smoothly. When I ended up unexpectedly stranded in Los Angeles for an extra day, Moth didn’t hesitate to extend their stay—watching over my dog and two cats for a total of five days. They maintained the litter box, ensured the pets were well-fed, and even walked my dog daily. I came home to calm, well-cared-for animals and a tidy home. Moth was responsible, communicative, and clearly cared about my pets’ wellbeing. I will absolutely be reaching out again the next time I need a sitter—couldn’t be more pleased!”

“Lily is such a joy with animals; a complete natural. She’s cared for many different kinds of animals throughout her life and enjoys them all. With a medical background, Lily is able to provide care to your special needs pets or administer any medications necessary. When my cat needed surgery, Lily stayed in my home for a week just to care for and keep an eye on my elderly cat as she healed. She provided her with love and compassion. She is accommodating, responsible, and an absolute pleasure to have around. Caring for animals is what she does best, and I would trust her with mine repeatedly.”
