About: I’ve had pets every day of my life, from cats to dogs of all sizes and personalities. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I love making each pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, administering medications, and providing companionship tailored to each pet’s needs! I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to be with your pets. I do not have any animals of my own and I only work In my home, pets are welcomed into a safe, comfortable space with plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I keep their routine consistent so they feel right at home. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely—feeding, walks, play, litter, or medications—while giving pets the same care and affection they’d get if you were there. I also make sure your home is respected and left just as you like it.

Tammy was so amazing- took the best care of Rufio- lots of walks, snuggles, tons of photos to keep us up to date every day, and left our house spotless. We adore her and can’t wait for her to be back for future stays!

We had Gillian pet sit for our two dogs, one of which does not particularly like new people. She did great and they love her! She was very flexible and accommodating, sending us pictures/videos and messages (as we wanted) throughout our time away. We would highly recommend Gillian and hope to have her help us again in the future!

Amber was wonderful! She asked a lot of great questions during the meet n greet, updated us every day while we were gone, and left our place even cleaner than we left it. Maple was well taken care of and we felt at ease with her in Amber’s care. We will definitely book with her again in the future, thank you Amber!!

Brea was a wonderful house and pet sitter! She stayed at our home and cared for our pets for two weeks. She was patient and loving with our pup who is slow to warm up to new caregivers. We would definitely have Brea back as a house/pet sitter!

Madison is an excellent sitter! She stayed at our home for 7 days with our two very large and excitable dogs. This is the longest we have ever been away from them in the almost 9 years we’ve had them. We were very anxious as these dogs are our children. Madison was thorough and went above and beyond to make sure that us and our boys had a good experience. She did brushing, gave medication and helped them brush up on some of their training skills. The boys loved her, and her updates gave us great peace of mind. She left our house very tidy, and was considerate of our space. This was my first experience with rover, and Madison knocked it out of the park. Tucker and Toby can’t wait to have her back next time. 100/10 recommend Madison for your furry friends. ❤️

About: I have a passion for rescue and believe pets deserve all the second and third chances! One of my first moves as an adult was adopting a rescue cat who was destined to be an only child in her forever home. Now with 3 rescue cats and one young rescue lab with a past, our home is at full capacity, but I love meeting new furry characters through pet sitting. I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for nearly 2 decades. Recently we were in a bind to find someone in our circle to care for our rowdy pup, so we turned to the Rover community and immediately found a fantastic local dog walker. I love that Rover provides a place for pet parents to connect and I’m now in the local network of pet sitters as well! I believe every dog is an individual and should be respected as such. Every challenging behavior simply reflects a need. I know how tough it can be to find a good match for a rescue pup with a past, and I’d love to provide help as a sitter/walker who is comfortable navigating challenging behaviors! I love a cat who hisses at strangers, and I love a pup who has enough wild energy to power a small city. My current work situation is a bit slow so I’m working part time with a somewhat inconsistent schedule. Usually I have the most availability to help with pet care in the afternoon and evening. Thursday-Sunday are usually very flexible. Feel free to reach out and let me know what your needs are! I have a small 3bd home with a small fenced in yard. I live in a densely populated neighborhood with many dogs, and with a highly reactive pup I am very safety conscious and accustomed to providing vigilant supervision both when my dog goes out on his own to potty or while on walks.

About: I was formerly a dog care professional at Hyline Hotel for Dogs, as well as many years with dog sitting. I’ve sat dogs ranging from 100lbs German Shepherds to 10lbs Terriers. I am a 27 year old male, strong and capable enough for even the largest of dogs. I am free most days for walks or in your home care. Request me anytime. For overnight care, I can only offer client home dog/ cat care. I have an elderly mom who is afraid of dogs, so my house is not an option. I will provide meals, plenty of long walks and play I will also obviously commit to any special needs such as; medicine, diets, food restrictions, high energy dogs, or behavioral issues. Your dog and their needs/ behaviors won’t scare me off as long as I am made aware of the situation I can do it all.

Harper is absolutely wonderful! Harper watched our spunky lab for a few weeks over the holidays and she was exceptionally well cared for. We loved the clear communication, regular updates, and cute photos. It was obvious that Langley was having the time of her life on Harper's farm. We'll definitely be booking with Harper again soon.

Donna was OUTSTANDING. She took such good care of our golden retrievers for the four days we were gone. She is a dog whisperer. They clearly felt her love. She was a fantastic communicator with us and an overall very kind person. I can’t say enough positive things about Donna! We hope to reserve her again.

Maddi was WONDERFUL with Oscar! We adopted Oscar in 2023. He is fear reactive and takes time to warm up to new people. Maddi was super patient with him and evidently knew how to assure him that she was no threat. In no time they were buddies! Oscar had a great time staying at home! Maddi sent updates and pics of them snuggling on the sofa and playing football in the yard. The day we got home, he kept going to the guest room to look for her. Maddi showed up on time, spent lots of time with Oscar, and was very respectful of our house. Everything was as we had left it. No mess, no dirty dishes! We will definitely hire Maddi again!
