About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends’ dogs since I was in high school, either looking after them while my friend was away or taking them for a walk. I have also recently gotten a cat and have been trying to become a cat whisperer now! I am a medical student with lots of free time right now! Can pickup last-minute gigs and tend to your buddy whenever and wherever. I live in an apartment with my beautiful rescue cat and have a car to travel to get to your pet in need! Very flexible on timing and task.

Neide took such great care of CJ. It was my first time using Rover so I was nervous but she cared for my cat as if it were her own. She sent daily pictures and even a video.

About: Hello, I’m a 27 year old who has loved animals their entire life. Currently I don’t have any pets but while I was younger my family always had animals in the house. I’ve had the pleasure of growing up around dogs and cats. When I moved away from home I started pet sitting for family friends and neighbors. I have pet sat cats, dogs, even a parrot and a snake. I love caring for other people's pets and understand the love and care that is expected when taking on this job. Caring for animals is one of my favorite past times. I currently freelance so my availably is extremely open. That also means your pet will get my full attention for any care they need. I work from home so I will have ample time to care for the pets. I also live walking distance from a park so walks will not be a problem. I don't currently have pets but the way I would care for pets in my home is by paying as much attention as I can to them. Making sure they are well fed, comfortable and relaxed.

About: Cant think of time where I haven’t been around a dog. Growing up there was always dogs in the house. It comes easy to me. For my 2 dogs it starts at 345am with their first walk before I head to the gym. There 2nd walk comes at 8am before I start work then again at 2pm for a quick lunch break and their last 2 walks come at 5 and 930pm before settling down for the night. In between all the walking they’ll get breakfast and dinner and some naps. Meet and greet is important along with getting to know the pets needs and routines. Along with likes and dislikes. Knowing what the pet parents wants and expects from visits or boarding.

About: With over two years of pet care experience, I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet like family. I pay close attention to little details, like their favorite toys, preferred walking spots, treat times, and how they like to be greeted. Whether it’s belly rubs or playtime, your pet’s comfort and happiness always come first Currently, I’m getting online early morning training in my new skills, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pet. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening playtime, I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I follow their routines, respect house rules, and pay attention to small details like locked gates and secure leashes. I create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and happy

Kayla was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats. Our cats are still acclimating to one another, and not only did she spend time with each of them but she did an amazing job at having them play together, listening to them if they had enough, and overall giving them many positive bonding experiences with each other. I also have a much more involved feeding routine/schedule for them than most people, and she followed everything perfectly. I always looked forward to her reports and pictures, and she was very thorough on her stay and how the cats were acting/feeling. I'm 100% sure they will miss her (especially Filo) and I will definitely call on Kayla again in the future!

Jade was absolutely incredible. I have 4 crazy Aussies that are full of energy but also full of love. Jade paid close attention to all my directions and my dogs were so happy to have her come see them every day. She gave them lots of love and worked on tricks with them to keep them engaged. I would recommend Jade to anyone who needs pet sitting or dog walking. She was wonderful.

About: Hey! My name is Lenaiya and I am a Military Police Officer who loves fur babies. I grew up surrounded by many pets and that fact alone made me want to pursue a career in the army as a 31K (Military Working Dog Handler) when the position becomes available. I feel like pets should be treated with the same love and care we give ourselves because they too have feelings just as much as we do. When they’re happy I’m happy. Me being an empath allows me to tune into their emotions and provide the necessary care they need. I love being out in Nature and taking walks in the park (which is ironically across the street from my house). We will definitely be exercising, learning and eating a diet that is optimal for the health of the dogs as I’m very athletic and an advocate for healthy eating habits. I’ve volunteered for many shelters and loved every moment. I’m all about quality assurance and the Virgo in me is naturally nurturing. My home is fur baby heaven and I strive to make sure they are not only in the best environment but they also enjoy the environment they’re in as well. I’ve also pet sat for a plethora of family and friends when they’ve gone out of town. I couldn’t imagine my life without the company of furry friends so with that being said, I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby family! I care for my grandma a few hours a day throughout the week and spend most of my time at home. Some of my best moments are spent in the comfort of my own home. Them stretching those legs is far from an issue. I have plenty of room in my home for them to just be themselves and a room specifically for the comfort of them. I’m not a fan of keeping animals caged up because I wouldn’t want that for me so I allow them to be free and themselves when under my care.

Mario has been such a reliable and caring sitter for my cat, Mits. He’s always willing to help—even with last-minute requests—which I really appreciate. I can tell Mits is genuinely happy to see him, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. It’s clear Mario truly cares about the pets he looks after, and I’m very grateful to have someone so dependable checking in on Mits!

Jane did an excellent job with drop-in visits for our two cats. She was reliable, showing up twice daily as scheduled, and clearly took great care of them. She played with the cats during her visits and kept their litter consistently clean. We appreciated that she went beyond the basics, keeping our kitchen spotless where the cats are fed. The photos from each visit showed our cats looking comfortable and content. It was so nice to come home tired and jet-lagged to happy, well-cared-for cats without having to tackle any cat-related housework.
