“Madalys was so kind and sweet with our kitties. It was our first time leaving them with anyone and It couldn’t have been better. They seemed happy to see her! Thank you Madalys.”


“We just had another amazing experience with Emily and her stellar cat care! Our cats love her and we know that they are in wonderful hands every time she helps to care for them :)”


About: I started off as a private pet-sitter but now I'm trying to expand my horizons! I've cared for many sweet pups and kitties and I love training dogs (mostly for fun!). I also have experience of caring for elderly dogs and cats who needed either oral medication, diaper changes, and weekly baths. I have 1 pup, 4 geckos and I've had freshwater fish for 7 years now. I can perform water changes, dose the tank with fertilizer if needed for plants, or just simply feed the fish when needed. I am also open to caring for reptiles within reason! I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I can be readily available whenever your lovable pets need someone to watch over them and make sure they're safe and taken care of. I can give feedings/walks according to your schedule. I also have no issue providing updates throughout the day as requested. I have a large backyard but it is mainly unfenced so I would prefer to keep your pet leashed at all times outdoors. Please let me know about any special attention your dog/cat may need such as if he/she needs specific timed feedings or walks. Also please provide a crate for overnight stays!

“Asher was great as usual!”


“We’re so thankful to know Devin to watch our golden, Oakley. He had a great time with her, loved her as soon as he met her and we had peace of mind knowing that he was well looked after. Communication was great and we’re sure to be repeat customers!”


“We had confidence in Heather looking after our cats from the moment we met her at the meet and greet. She did an amazing job looking after the cats sending us updates and keeping us informed on how they were doing. We definitely will be using her again when we go away.”


“My dogs Ellie and Kate adores Christina!!!!”


About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young! I have two dogs of my own and chickens so I love being around animals. I also had the privilege to help out my neighbors and friends with their dogs walking them, and taking care of them !! I’m currently working part time in the summer now that college is off! I am available all day Sundays and usually after 3 pm on the weekdays for the most part! I have a big yard with plenty of space for your dogs . Depending on the dogs needs, I can accommodate whatever is needed at my own house and or clients home!

“So happy we found Jackie on Rover! She was excellent with our puppy and always took the time to let us know things she noticed or things she worked on with him. She was always on time and a great communicator. We can’t wait to book with Jackie again!”


About: I have had big st. bernard dogs since i was 5!! along with many other animals including cats, turtles, birds and my 3 bunnies i always loved animals and have a huge soft spot for them! I have a pretty flexible schedule with work being a hairdresser a few days a week, I now have 2 dogs and 3 bunnies I regularly take care of that are all happy and healthy:) I treat each animal with love and respect, making sure they are comfortable and happy! I have always had dogs and have taken care of them from a young age!!

“Dre was amazing! She took care of our kitties so we could get away to the beach for a few days. Was great to get away and relax knowing our cats were in good hands. She was right on time with her drop in visits and followed our directions perfectly. Very responsive, communicative and an all around pleasure! Hight recommend her.”


About: as a past general manager, I always treat each pet and home with the highest level of care and respect. I’ll follow your routines closely, update you with photos, and make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well-exercised while you’re away. You can count on me to be on time, communicative, and gentle with your pet every visit. I’m available full-time Monday through Friday for daily dog walks and drop-in visits. I recently transitioned out of a management role to focus on pet care, and I’m excited to dedicate my days to keeping your pets happy and active while you’re away. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets with love and consistency. I’m calm, reliable, and great with high-energy or shy dogs. I also have experience giving oral medications, following feeding routines, and handling senior pets with extra care.


About: Hi! I am Natalia, lover of all animals and a proud dog mom. I have extensive experience with elderly dogs and reactive rescues. Rest assured that I will be patient and mindful of your pet's safety, and will be caring for your dog in the same way I would my own. I look forward to hanging out and playing with your best friend! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns :) I currently work from home full time so I am able to spend ample time with your pup and take them out for a walk throughout the day. I know the importance of routine, happy to follow any instructions or house rules you may have in place. I am ok with dogs sleeping on beds or furniture but am respectful of those who wish to train their pups to keep all four on the floor.

“Kim did an excellent job of watching my two cats and snake. She came during the set times and did everything I asked. She was even fine with opening the snakes tank in order to maintain the tank’s humidity which I appreciated.”


About: Hi! I’m Leah—a huge animal lover with a soft spot for pets of all kinds. I’ve grown up around animals and even worked as a veterinary assistant, so I’m confident handling everything from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra care. I also used to work at a zoo, so I’ve had experience with animals big and small (yes, even some wild ones!). Caring for animals is second nature to me. I know how much our pets mean to us—they’re family—and I’ll treat yours like one of my own. Whether your dog needs a relaxing walk, some energetic playtime, or a cozy buddy while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I’m also experienced with giving meds, sticking to feeding schedules, and adapting to each pet’s unique personality. When I’m not spending time with animals, I love being outdoors, listening to music, and taking care of my plants (I’m a big fan of green spaces!). I know how important communication is, so you can expect plenty of updates and cute photos while you’re away, as well as a detailed report card for when you get back! Let’s chat—I’d love to meet you and your furry best friend! I have 10 years of personal pet experience and 3 years of professional animal experience. Personally, I have a dog named Charlie as well as 19 chickens, and I used to have a turtle named Millie! Most importantly, I have a very specific attitude when it comes to working with animals. At my job, our motto is "it's the most exciting day ever!", and I live by this daily. Every day when dogs wake up they're excited and ready to go. I believe they have a very simplistic outlook on life and that as humans, we can learn a thing or two from them. I will treat your dog like they are my own. As a pet owner myself, I completely understand that pets are like children and they deserve all the best. Dogs and cats are such beautiful, intelligent creatures and I absolutely love spending my time with them.

About: I’ve taken care of some neighbors dogs, families, and my own. I enjoy going on walks, especially with a dog. I also enjoy playing with and taking care of dogs I work during the day Monday through Friday form 7-4 and am free on the weekends. I am available anytime after 4pm during the week I always make sure other dogs are friendly before bringing my dog around them, or anybody else’s dog. I always make sure the dog is kept on the leash and I have a fenced in yard where my dog loves to run around. I always make sure a gate is never left open
