About: Hello! We are RuthAnn and Brandon, a husband and wife duo of lifelong dog lovers. We know that your dog isn’t just a pet… they are FAMILY! That’s why when your pup stays with us they aren’t just “guest dogs” they become a part of our family too. Plus there’s two of us so this means TWICE the love and attention of a regular sitter :) A little bit about us: We are the proud “aunt and uncle” to our family dogs, West and Sadie. We’ve added them to our profile so you can get to know more about them there. While they don’t live with us they visit us often and they are very friendly, so if they happen to be over during your pups stay, that just means more friends to play with! I am currently a nursing student in my last semester and my husband works in sales! So one of the biggest perks of booking with us is that our schedules are flexible. At least one of us is always home. So your pup will have constant companionship, potty breaks and plenty of belly rubs thought the day. We also have a large fully fenced yard that’s perfect for zoomies or a game of fetch! We want you to have total peace of mind when you book with us, so we offer meet and greets prior to booking, as well as regular updates, photos and videos of all the fun your dog is having. We can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! Seamlessly because we are home based and flexible. Between the two of us, your dog will have constant supervision and a routine tailored to their needs! We live in a fully fenced home so your pup has full access to a safe fenced yard for supervised play of course. Because Brandon and I are home, your pup gets a perfect balance of activity and rest. We follow your specific feeding and medications to a T (we know how important this is) and we love to provide plenty of belly rubs and cuddles on the couch. We keep a tidy dog proofed home and we keep fresh water available at all times!! We are a team that’s big on communication so you’ll receive daily updates with photos and videos so you can see exactly what your baby is up to. If your dog enjoys company, we love to facilitate play, if they are on the shyer more timid side and prefer one on one time, we can accommodate for that as well.

About: I've taken care of a series of dogs from a Jack Russell Terrier, to a Pit bull, to a Husky and Pit bull mix and enjoyed them all. All of the dogs have stayed overnight and their owner are more than happy. I recently had a dog who it was his first time away from his owner so I had to build his trust. Within 24 hrs he was comfortable, jumping around with me, licking me, and making sure I was always near him. I tend to keep the owners up to date with pictures or videos if they would like and they always come back. I am a college student who works from home part time. Outside of that, I go to the gym and attend zoom meetings for my extracurricular activities. This gives me a lot of time to dedicate to the dogs and make sure they are well at all times. I have a fenced yard and security cameras at both the front door and back door as do all my neighbors. A variety of treats are always available for trust and training purposes. I make sure that someone is always home so your dog isn't alone, although I'm more than likely at home.

About: I adopted a feral from my backyard and made it into a house cat! I also have experience cat sitting my neighbors cat and animals. I currently have two cats of my own, so I understand the dynamics of having multiple cats at home. I am a teacher with summers off so I have plenty of time to cat sit. I am free most afternoons as well for pet care needs. I have my own home so there is enough space for all the cats to enjoy. They have three floors to roam around freely without having to worry about getting along with each other.
“Minyon us SUPER accommodating. Even with my hectic schedule and several emergencies at once, she understood and gave me grace through every step of the process.

I would ABSOLUTELY book with Minyon again!”


About: Hi, my name is Natalia and I'm here to offer my patience, attention, and care to pets in need. I have a deep love for animals and a strong desire to ensure their well-being.

“Karlos was awesome with our 5 kitties and dropped by before we left for vacay so that we could show him the rundown of where everything was. He was flexible and accommodating of our feeding and litter box times and asked questions whenever he was unsure. He provided us with details and photos of my furbabies during each visit. One of my girls has IBS and he would send us pictures of her food dish to make sure she was getting her RX food. Another one of my girls tends to sometimes pee outside of the litter box and Karlos would inform us if she did and mop up the urine. And to top it all off, he was patient and caring towards my kitties (which means a great deal in a world where an animals life isn't considered as precious as a humans).”

St Albans pet parents share their Rover experiences
Karlos did an incredible job taking care of my two cat brothers while I was away for the week. He made sure they were wellfed, spent time playing with them, and sent frequent photos and updates, which I especially appreciated while I was on the other side of the country. He truly went above and beyond. Not only did he care for the cats, but he also helped fix their water fountain after one of them managed to knock it over and set up the pet cameras again after they were attacked by curious paws. Beyond that, it's clear that Karlos has a tremendous amount of experience with animals. We talked about his love for cats and dogs, his work caring for reptiles, and how much animals mean to him. For me, the most important quality in a pet sitter is someone who genuinely loves and understands animals, and Karlos absolutely embodies that. I would gladly recommend Karlos to anyone looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable pet sitter, and I will definitely reach out to him again in the future if I need help with my cats. Thank you, Karlos!
Minyon us SUPER accommodating. Even with my hectic schedule and several emergencies at once, she understood and gave me grace through every step of the process. When my pups met her, they instantly fell in love with her. She sent videos and pictures every visit and made sure to take them on nice long walks... which my pups love. I would ABSOLUTELY book with Minyon again!
Sheryn was dependable and made sure to stop by every day to check on my cats while I was away, which gave me peace of mind. She was consistent with her visits and clearly cared about making sure they were okay. I appreciated her reliability and the effort she put into being there daily. Thank you, Sheryn, for helping look after my cats.

Such a great spirit and understanding of our dogs needs and temperament. She went above and beyond, playing basketball with him in the cold and recognized when he was stressed. She was great in cleaning behind our dog and following instructions to T in locking up the property.
