“Jaden is simply amazing! We were worried about leaving our pets, especially our Akita (not even two years old) but Jaden came up a couple of times to get to know him first and by the time of our trip he was excited to see her! She is kind and thoughtful - sends pictures throughout her stay. I can’t recommend her highly enough! We will continue this relationship, for sure!”



“Very reliable and great dog walker. Would recommend 100%! Will definitely use her service in the future.”


About: I have been working in the field as a vet assistant for almost 4 years now. I have immensely enjoyed caring for animals, and would love to continue that even outside of work. Both cats and dogs are welcomed; I do have 2 cats of my own. I grew up surrounded by cats, so I would say I have that feline touch. I understand that cats have vastly different personalities and may not want to be touched or played with. But if your cat happens to love playing and being petted, then I will happily meet those needs. I believe that open communication and transparency is important, so you’ll receive regular updates on your pets well-being while you’re away. I am skilled at administering oral medications and even subcutaneous injections, if needed. As well as caring for special needs and or elderly pets. I am trained in understanding body language and how to recognize signs of illness in pets. I am mostly available for walks, drop-ins, and house sittings. I have a part time job, and I am a student, so I will update my calendar regularly to reflect my availability to properly care for your pet. The safety of your pet is important to me and is a task I take very seriously. Your pet is in safe hands with me.

“Kayla was perfect. She was respectful of our home and very loving and caring towards our pets. I received daily pictures with updates and came home to a clean house. Will recommend her to friends and family!”


About: I have been taking care of my animals since 7. We have had a Boxer, Chihuahua, Labrador, Doberman, and currently 3 Goldendoodles. I have taken care of all of them as they get old and have lived cared for three litters of puppies. I have even changed my fair share of doggy diapers. Feed, take out to the bathroom, play with, even pick up dog poop. If there is something you need I can help you. There has not been a dog to ever scare me or worry me. I'm working spotty, four hour, part time shifts and am fully online for college. I am almost fully open to come and take care of your animals throughout any part of the day. I take care of my dogs at any time. If you have specific details and structured feeding times or potty breaks I can work with that as well. My three dogs currently all have different play styles whether it is rougher or simply wanting to relax and lay down I have no issue adjusting.

About: For over 15 years, I have been a dedicated pet owner. I have cared for a wide variety of animals, including birds, cats, dogs, and reptiles. My schedule is wide open since I work from home, and so does my husband. That means your dog will have constant care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Whether they need frequent potty breaks, playtime, snuggles, or just reassuring presence, we're here to provide a loving and safe environment with plenty of one-on-one time. We have a big fenced and structured yard giving your dog plenty of space to run, play, and explore safely. Whether they love zoomies, sunbathing, or just sniffing around, they'll have the freedom to enjoy the outdoors while staying safe. With constant supervision and lots of playtime, your dog will have a fun and enriching experience.

“Joshua helped us once again on our last trip out if town. Our pup enjoys her time with him, walking snd getting lots of pets. He always tidies up the house at the end of his stay, so it is wonderful to come home. Highly recommend! 😊”


“Sidney was absolutely amazing!! It was our first time using Rover and she put us at ease the moment we met for a little meet-and-greet with our crew. She sent videos and pictures everyday which we absolutely loved. We had two dogs and a cat, all with their own special quirks, and Sidney was so great with all three. Our vacation was stress-free knowing she was there and she left the house in perfect order for when we returned. We can’t recommend her enough (in fact, we bragged about her to the family our entire trip 😂) and will absolutely be booking her again.”
