About: I had a dog in my family for around 10 years. He was really the best. It was so fun to watch him grow up and take care of him through it all. I absolutely adore animals and love to give them attention, play with them and learn with them. I work full time but have different hours and sometimes will be available in the mornings, sometimes the middle of the day, and sometimes weekends! I will always have time for animals. I provide a safe and comforting environment for dogs and humans alike. I am very considerate and observant of everything around me so I will always make sure everyone is safe and having a great time with everything they need. I am very respectful of people’s space and always make sure to leave things the way I found them.

“I’m so happy to have found Lacina in the sea of prospects! From the very first meeting, my dog Cub, who’s usually shy around strangers, immediately warmed up to her. It was clear right away that she has a natural connection with animals. Dogs know good people, and Lacina is definitely one of them! We both absolutely love her, and I’m so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and kind.”


“Jane was great with our dogs. Extremely reliable. Sent photos of both of them. This was our first time using Rover and we are quite happy. Would recommend Jane to All pet owners.”


“Rachel took great care of our cat while we were away!”


“Jade did an exceptional job caring for our beloved 13-year-old Siamese cat. We entrusted her with his care for two days, and upon our return, he was completely content and unfazed by our absence—a true testament to Jade’s attentiveness and care. If you're looking for a reliable pet sitter, you can trust that your pet will be in great hands with Jade. We couldn’t be happier with her service!”

About: I was raised with dogs my whole life, and offer options from walks, drop in visits, boarding, and day care. I can be your next reliable person if you ever want a helping hand to ensure the best care for your pup! My passion is animals. It has been for as long as I can remember, and with this job I will dedicate myself to your animals to make sure they are receiving love and attention while they are with me. I have called out of work just to make sure the dogs I’m boarding are receiving 100% of my care while they are with me. When I am boarding, dogs get walks all day long, come with me in my car, and are treated like a guest would be treated in my house. I even like to spoil them with pup cups from Starbucks while they stay with me!

She gives them her undivided attention, is down on the floor playing with them, takes them for long walks and shows them bundles of love. I call her the “dog whisperer.” She is amazing!!
