About: Growing up, my very first chores were dog- related, so animal care has always been integral in my life. While I sadly no longer have any furry friends of my own, I am an animal person at heart. I’ve pet-sat for family, neighbors, friends, Rover clients, for pets of all breeds and sizes, and I’m very comfortable around any dogs. I grew up with 2 German-shorthaired pointers, and I was responsible for their care daily before and after school. As we (me and the dogs!) all got older, I was the primary caretaker of them in their senior years, so I’m very familiar with the struggles and ailments that come with elderly dogs. I am strong enough to lift most dogs if stairs are any issue- our dogs were around 60-70lbs. I have had roommates with cats who I’ve become very close with. I’ve always loved cats, so learning to care for them and earning their trust was so exciting. I’ve cared for the cats for a week’s time before, so would feel comfortable caring for cats as well. I love pet sitting- it’s nice to have a furry friend to visit since I lack one in my own family at the moment! Any client of mine gets all the pets and attention they could ever dream up. I am also very active, and I walk or run every day, so having a companion there is a bonus for us both! I look forward to your consideration, and if you have any questions about my experience or anything please let me know. I am currently between full-time jobs but keeping my calendar updated very frequently with my summer availability as I am hoping to pick up work either ongoing or on a one-time basis! Depending on the comfort of each pet, I always spend some time introducing myself and getting to know them at first. Spend some time petting them and getting them comfortable with my presence in their space, and next playing with them if they’re up for it. Once they know they can trust me, we’ll take the day ahead together and they’ll alternate resting, playing with toys, and walking outside. I also love to share photos with owners, so I’ll be sure to keep you posted on what we’re up to.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional and Reliable Pet Sitting Experience Sophia was outstanding. She responded quickly to a late request after my original sitter canceled, and went out of her way to accommodate my scheduling needs. Her communication was prompt and professional, providing regular updates and photos throughout the stay. Most importantly, she ensured my dog was well cared for and comfortable while I was away. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a dependable and thoughtful sitter.”


About: I've had cats my entire life, I pet sit for 2 dogs during the summer before I could get a job and would love for it to become a regular part of my life again. I enjoy spending time with animals sometimes more than people. I'm a college student and a caregiver currently so feel free to reach out with questions about availability. I have a constantly changing schedule and I may be available more than what's marked here. I take care of my own 2 cats daily, and I'd love to take care of more pets in between my work hours or on my days off. I've been in an environment with animals as long as I can remember feeding them, scooping litter boxes, and my favorites giving love, and playing.

“Kira is wonderful! Our dog, Kona, liked her right away at our meet and greet. Kira is warm, responsible, and easy to communicate with. She took great care of Kona and sent cute pictures. Thank you Kira!!”


“Stephen watched our dog Banjo in our home while we were away for 4 days. He seems to have lots of experience and very knowledgeable about dogs. He kept in touch with us about his comings and goings and sent us photos and videos of Banjo. Both Banjo and the house look clean and well cared for. Would use him again and recommend him to others.”

“Rosary has been a life saver. My husband is sick and she has been very flexible and helping with whatever is needed. Today she spent the entire day with our toy poodle Georgy while we made our bi-monthly pilgrimage to my husbands doctor. He is 1.5 hours away so it’s a long day. Georgy was completely happy and tired when we got home. She is 8 months so tiring her out takes a lot of play time. I would highly recommend Rosemary.”


“Autumn was excellent! Very attentive, on time, and responsive! My dogs loved her and she was more than cooperative, caring, and responsible! I would highly recommend Autumn to anyone in need of care with their pets!”
