About: I’m reliable, caring, and experienced with dogs and cats of all sizes—your pet will be safe, loved, and well-cared-for while you’re away. Only the best for the best. I have a flexible work schedule. I can visit the pet numerous times a day to ensure care. I also don’t work on weekends. Open to overnight stays. I genuinely love animals, and I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for when their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs — whether that means energetic playtime, calm companionship, or structured routines. I make sure to follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions precisely, and I keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own: with love, respect, and care.
“Gianna was great with our dogs. She responded quickly, set up a meet and greet, and made sure we were comfortable spending a weekend away. She checked in often and even spent extra time with them during a storm. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Lauren did such a great job watching our 2 high energy aussies while we were gone for a long weekend. She gave them endless attention, cuddles, kisses, and treats. She updated us multiple times a day on how they were doing with corresponding pictures. She also wrote in depth notes on their daily adventures/walks and habits. She is extremely professional and I cannot recommend her enough. She is extremely respectful to your home and pets. The dogs love her. We were overwhelmed with gratefulness when we came home to 2 happy dogs, a clean house, and a full treat jar. Lauren takes her Rover business to a different level that just doesn’t compare to others. Lauren typically does drop-ins and walks for us. This was the first in home stay and we will definitely be using her again as an in home sitter in the future because of how impressed we are with her. If you need an in home sitter/walker/drop-in, please choose Lauren.”
About: While I haven’t owned a dog myself, I’ve been around them my entire life and have dog-sat for friends and family multiple times. I’m most comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs, especially those who are friendly and well-behaved. I’m calm, patient, and good at picking up on animals’ body language, which helps build trust quickly. I’m happy to take dogs for walks, feed them, play, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always follow your care instructions closely. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily make time during the day or evening to care for pets. I’m responsible with time management and can adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or check-ins. Pet care fits well into my week, and I truly enjoy making it part of my day. I respect every client’s home and follow all instructions carefully to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I make sure doors are secure, walk pets on safe routes, and always double-check things like water, food, and medications. I also take time to make your pet feel calm and cared for, especially when they’re adjusting to your absence.

I can easily provide whatever you need within your home, and am more than willing to travel to your pets comfort space, rather than bringing them in to a new environment!
“We had Victoria watch our dog who has some anxiety issues, for the first time and she did an excellent job.

We would definitely use her again to care for our little guy and appreciate the attention she gave him.”

Aurora A.
“Aurora is amazing! She watches my 2 kitties and I couldn’t be happier with her care!! I can be at ease knowing I have someone who truly cares💖 She’s one of my best friends, so I know firsthand how loving and responsible she is. I fully trust her with my pets, and she’s a wonderful sitter. I would recommend her to anyone!!!🥰”
Patrick C.
“I can’t imagine a more responsible, attentive, and loving caregiver for pets than Patrick. He is devoted to his own dog, treating her with so much love, patience, and care making sure her happiness and well-being are always his top priorities. Patrick has also cared for my dog, Hannah, a rescue with a history of trauma and anxiety. From the very beginning, he earned her trust in a way that few people have. His calm demeanor, gentle approach, and intuitive understanding of animals make him truly exceptional. I would trust Patrick completely with any furry friend, knowing they would be safe, loved, and well cared for in his hands. Any dog (and dog parent!) would be lucky to have him.”
