“Dana was beyond exceptional and her star rating should be more than what’s listed. She was gentle caring and knowledgeable, which calmed my fears about someone else watching my baby. This was the first time that I’ve used and the first time my dog was cared for by someone other than me. I can’t say Thank you enough to her. I would 200% recommend her to anyone needing a skilled, reliable and caring person for dog services.”

She made herself available quickly for a meet and greet, paid close attention to the information I provided on my dog and proved to be dependable and detail oriented taking great care of my dog while we were visiting Orlando on vacation. I do highly recommend her and would book her again if I lived in the area or were to visit again!”

About: I know how stressful it can be leaving your pets with a stranger rest assured I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10years old. Our house has always been busseling with pets of all shapes and sizes from Great Danes and chihuahuas to parrots and love birds, even Maine Coon and tabby cats. I’ve been sitting since I was about 15 years old stopping in for potty breaks giving medicine if needed and talking walks and running around in the yard. I truly enjoy hanging out with animals and taking care of them. I’d love to care for and play with your pets! I’m open on the weekends almost any time, I do work a 9-6 Monday- Friday job so I can definitely squeeze in and early morning or later evening visit or walk as well during the weekdays, I’d love to make it work and fit your and your pets needs My beloved bull mix Lizzie just passed this past year so I’m currently without any pets in my home but I’ve still got plenty of room in and there are long walking trails to explore. I like to see where the pet likes to spend their time inside or out and be there to have fun with them.

“Maddie fed our boys while we were away and did everything as we’d hoped! She checked in every day and was kind enough to ask how they were doing during the 4th of July fireworks. Thank you, Maddie!”


About: I truly treat every pet like they’re my own🤎 — with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including shy or anxious pets, senior animals, energetic puppies, and bottle-fed kittens. I have two Scottish straight cats at home. I grew up with dogs that did not get along- So i know how to take precaution when needed. I grew up with Australian Shepards my whole life, extremely high energy so nothing is too much for me. I’m calm, reliable, and I always follow instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, meds, slow walks, or just quiet company, I adjust my care to what your pet needs most. I currently plan to do rover full time so i can accompany your pets needs while also working part time on the weekends usually at night. I currently offer drop-in visits, walks and overnight stays in your home, so your pets can stay in a familiar, comfortable environment. I follow any routines or instructions you provide closely — whether that’s feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication, or just giving them some love and attention. I’ll always bring my own waste bags. I aim to keep things calm, and stress-free for both you and your pets while you’re away.

“We had such a wonderful experience with Noelani! She took the best care of our cat Waffles while we were away for a week. Waffles is super social and loves human company, and Noelani went above and beyond - spending quality time with him, sending us thoughtful updates with pictures and videos, and giving him all the snuggles and lap time he loves. We told her he’s a fan of chin scratches, brushing, and Churu treats - and she made sure he got all that and more. Seeing photos of him happily curled up on her lap, kneading and purring, made us feel so at ease. She even visited on his birthday and brought him a special treat. We were blown away by her thoughtfulness. It was such a relief knowing Waffles was in kind, capable, cat-loving hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed kitty - and we feel so lucky to have found Noelani. Waffles can’t wait to hang out with her again!”


“Kathryn is a wonderful sitter and a tremendous help. She shares detailed updates and photos from all of her daily drop-in visits - which we love. We’re always confident that our pups are in good hands. Thank you, Kathryn!”
