Angelina was wonderful! She provided a great deal of interaction and care and I came home after 2 weeks to a very content kitty. Will definitely use again!

Grace was the best! She sent detailed information to me with every visit and pictures. She even went as far as to take the scooped cat litter out with her when she left. I will definitely be using her again in the future!

By far the best cat sitters out there. They are so caring and loving to our cats. Our cats get excited when they come over. They go above and beyond to share video and pictures. They know how to take care of our elderly cat. They are highly recommended.

I was nervous about traveling, since it had been many years since we needed a pet sitter, but Christine made it easy. She stayed in contact and let us know when she had dropped by, and the cats got everything they needed. We'll definitely hire her again!

About: I've owned and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. Professionally, I have experience working as a dog handler, kennel attendant, dog bather, and groomer. I also have extensive experience working and caring for cats, horses, and various small animals. My +3 years working at a dog daycare facility had me safely handling a pack of up to 25 dogs; providing exercise & engagement, soft corrections, and positive reinforcement. To do so, it was necessary to be observant and in tune with the dog's behavior and always on the lookout for any signs of stress or aggression. As a bather and groomer, I was focused on hygiene but a large aspect of the job relied on my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. I've owned cats my entire life and have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and adopted. I also have pet care insurance with animal baliee coverage in case of emergencies. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable and loved. I work part-time on the night shift, so I'm out of the house between 9:30pm and 3am Monday through Friday. Outside of that- my schedule is flexible. I am available on most weekends and holidays. I only book one client at a time for pet sits and boarding, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a huge, unfenced yard. I own a variety of animal care supplies and equipment including lunge-line leashes to keep dogs safely on my property.

James was great. He was able to come on short notice, did a “get acquainted” visit, and everything went well. I’d ask him back when future needs arise.

About: Hello, my name is Ryan and animals always have been a huge part of my life! I am certified in dog training by A.B.C( animal behaviour college). I have had my fair share of animals in my life, big dogs small dogs, birds,cats and fish. I am comfortable with all shapes sizes and temperaments with animals. I tend to be on the relaxed side. As i let them on my couch bed and generally wherever else they want to go. I do not have a yard but am a firm believer in multiple walks a day. A tired puppy/dog is non destructive! I am realiable and trust worthy and will honor any wishes you may have when it comes to your pet! I am not a screamer as i believe animals are extremely sensative. I have worked in just about every pet store and I'm very familiar with all types of leashes,food, toys, basically anything sold in pet stores. I do not have children and work from home, so i have 100 percent open availability. My main goal is to have both clients happy and satisfied and that means you and your animal! I tend to spoil my animals, so let me spoil yours as well! I hope to hear from you and let me become your animals new best friend!!

About: I’ve been working with animals professionally since I was 19 — I’m now 26. Over the years, I’ve worked as a vet assistant, a professional groomer, and at a pet store, gaining hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. These days, my main focus is boarding, walking, and house sitting — and it’s something I genuinely love doing. What sets my care apart is the family-style experience I offer. When your dog stays with me, they aren’t just being watched — they’re becoming part of our daily life. It’s usually me, my young son, and my partner Brian. We go on nature walks, play outside, and include your dog in everything like they’re part of the crew. This isn’t just pet sitting — it’s a second home. I’ve found that so many dogs (and their humans) are looking for that feeling of safety, love, and belonging — even if they haven’t put it into words yet. That’s exactly what I try to create here. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — including shy rescues, high-energy pups, and seniors. I’m trained in animal behavior, have my own vehicle, and can adapt to your dog’s specific needs and temperament. 🚗 Please note: For boarding in my home, dogs must be comfortable around kids and okay with cats, since we do have both. I want everyone (human and animal) to feel safe and relaxed. Whether your pup needs playtime, quiet time, cuddles, or space, I always meet them where they are — with patience, love, and respect. I work from home part time, so your fur baby will fit in perfectly with my schedule. I am looking for something to do that will occupy more of my time, and what better way than to spend it with a new furry friend to love?! I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat who is more like a dog. I can keep him separate if ever needed. My house is a little over 1,300 sq ft so there’s plenty of space. If you need your pet to be crated I am comfortable with that. As well as if any medication is needed to be given or frequent walks. I will always respect the home of the pet and owner. Just point me where I need to go with some guidance regarding you fue baby’s routine, you are in great hands!

About: I’m a passionate pet lover excited to offer caring, reliable pet sitting and walking services. While I’m just starting out, I bring tons of energy, love, and attention to every furry friend I meet. Your pet’s happiness and comfort are my top priority—think of me as their new favorite buddy! I’m currently a part-time Nanny who has a passion for learning and spending time with pets! I currently do not have pets at home so spending time with yours is the highlight of my day. I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own and your pet like family. While I’m new to Rover, I bring a genuine love for animals, attention to detail, and a calm, caring presence. I’ll follow your routines closely, keep you updated, and make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: I've always had a positive vibe with dogs. People with standoffish dogs have always marveled on how their dogs take to me immediately. I've never questioned it since it always came naturally to me. I've bred dogs for confirmation shows, for competitions (weight pulling), and drug sniffing. I’m a retired Army officer with 37 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. From daily walks to wellness checks, I treat every pet like my own. I even co-owned a drug-detection dog business from 2010–2012, so I understand dogs on a deeper level. My schedule is flexible for feeding, walking, home visits, boarding check-ins, and vet trips—whatever helps keep your furry friend happy and healthy. People love and treat their dogs as family members. They should and must be cared for in that way. As a result, the safety, security, and loving care they need is paramount and non-negotiable.
