“Audrianna was amazing! Our Andy loved her from the very moment he met her :) She delivered an amazing week of love and care, and sent great photos of our baby dog. We will definitely call her next time!”


“Nancy did an awesome job, she sent plenty of picture updates while taking care of my dogs and cat and it was obvious that they were enjoying her company. Would definitely recommend her and would ask her to look after them again in a heart beat.”


“Another trip for us, having James to take care of our 3 Boxers. All went really well, James is always checking in and out at each visit, and very responsive if we needed to ask anything. James is calm, not afraid of our Shiloh being an Alpha male pretty intense, and could manage Papi being needy, and Morgan being shy and difficult to approach. We found our sitter for our next trips for sure!”


“Courtney did a great job doing what I asked of her and even went above and beyond, spending extra time with my dogs. When we had an incident (not related to her) at 1 am she went to check on them. I would definitely recommend Courtney.”


About: I have quite a bit of experience when it comes to caring for animals. I’ve personally taken care of my own dogs as well as family members. I can feed, bathe, walk, administer medication, and complete whatever duties needed to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable. I have experience in caring for puppies and senior dogs. I’ve also earned my certification to be a Veterinary Assistant. Im currently not employed full time, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am currently enrolled in my 1st year of Vet Tech school, but it will not affect me being able to work for rover. I have a fenced in backyard that is secure for my pets. I make sure that there’s nothing on the ground that can harm my pets. I keep a close eye on my pets while they are outside whether it’s to play or potty. I also have cameras for extra security. I plan to care for my clients pets like they are my own. If I’m visiting a clients home I would follow those same safety precautions.

“NaTia was professional, caring, responsible and a very nice person. She kept us informed during the drop in visits and sent photos of our dogs during each visit even though they refused to look at the camera. She truly whethered the storms to ensure they were okay. Thank for taking such good care of my pups on short notice.”


“Demi was awesome with Milo! He is a 5 month old very energetic goldendoodle. She checked in on him and walked him during the day and was great about providing updates and pictures! This was my first time using rover, and I could not have asked for better care! Highly recommend using Demi :)”

About: What sets us apart from other pet sitters is our extensive experience and genuine passion for animal care. With several years of hands-on experience, we have had the privilege of delivering newborn puppies and providing specialized care to pets with disabilities. Our approach to pet sitting is not just about ensuring that your pets are safe; it’s about providing them with love and tailored care that suits their individual needs. Our loving family includes our own English Bulldog, who are incredibly social and enjoy playing with other dogs. We make frequent trips to the dog park, which helps our Bulldogs stay well-socialized and happy. Our pets are up-to-date with their flea, tick, and heartworm treatments, and they thrive on regular exercise. We believe that playtime is just as important indoors as it is outside, so your pets will enjoy a mix of both during their stay with us. We would be thrilled to meet you and your family, and we look forward to the opportunity to provide your pets with the same high level of care and affection that we offer our own. Feel free to reach out to arrange a visit or ask any questions. We can’t wait to welcome you and your furry friends into our home! Pet care is an integral part of our daily and weekly routine, woven seamlessly into our lives. Here’s a glimpse into how it fits into our schedule: **Daily Routine:** - **Morning:** Each day begins with early morning walks for our English Bulldogs, ensuring they start the day with exercise and a chance to socialize. After the walk, we provide breakfast and any necessary medications or treatments. - **Midday:** Throughout the day, we monitor and engage with the pets, offering playtime, training exercises, and regular check-ins to ensure their comfort and well-being. - **Evening:** In the evening, we take another walk or visit to the dog park, followed by dinner and winding down with some indoor play or relaxation time. This ensures they get plenty of exercise and attention, both physically and mentally. **Weekly Routine:** - **Health and Maintenance:** We stay on top of regular health maintenance, such as flea, tick, and heartworm treatments. We also schedule any necessary grooming or veterinary appointments. - **Socialization:** We make frequent trips to the dog park and arrange playdates with other dogs to ensure our pets remain well-socialized and happy. - **Training and Enrichment:** We incorporate training sessions and enrichment activities throughout the week to keep our pets mentally stimulated and to reinforce good behavior. By integrating these routines, we ensure that our pets receive consistent care and attention, creating a balanced and fulfilling environment for them. This same level of dedication and routine is applied to the pets in our care, so you can be confident that they’ll be treated with the same love and attention. The approach to pet care varies depending on whether we’re offering boarding, overnight stays, walking, or drop-in services. Here’s how we handle each scenario: ### **1. Boarding:** When pets stay with us for boarding, we create a home-away-from-home environment tailored to their needs: - **Comfortable Space:** Pets enjoy a cozy, dedicated space in our home, complete with their own bedding and toys to make them feel comfortable and secure. - **Daily Routine:** We follow a structured routine that mirrors their home life as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and playtime. - **Socialization:** Our English Bulldogs and other pets are great companions, and we facilitate supervised interactions to ensure a smooth integration. - **Health Monitoring:** We keep a close eye on their health, administering any medications as needed and ensuring they receive regular check-ups and care. ### **2. Overnight Stays:** For overnight stays in a client’s home, our focus is on maintaining their routine and providing peace of mind: - **Home Comfort:** We respect their home environment, ensuring everything is left as we found it and that their usual comforts are maintained. - **Routine Maintenance:** We follow their established routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, keeping everything consistent to minimize stress. - **Security and Safety:** We ensure the home is secure and follow any specific instructions given by the pet owner to ensure their pet’s safety and comfort. ### **3. Walking:** Dog walking services are designed to give pets exercise and mental stimulation: - **Scheduled Walks:** We adhere to the agreed schedule, providing regular walks that meet the pet’s exercise needs and preferences. - **Route Variety:** To keep walks interesting, we vary the routes and incorporate different sights and smells, making each outing enjoyable. - **Leash Manners:** We reinforce good leash manners and ensure a safe, enjoyable walk, taking care to avoid any potential hazards. ### **4. Drop-Ins:** Drop-in services involve visiting pets to provide care while owners are away: - **Feeding and Watering:** We provide fresh food and water, following the pet’s regular feeding schedule. - **Exercise and Play:** We engage in playtime and provide some exercise, based on the pet’s preferences and needs. - **Health Check:** During each visit, we check for any signs of health issues and ensure the pet is comfortable and happy. - **Update Reports:** We keep pet owners updated with reports or photos, so they can feel connected and reassured. In all scenarios, the goal is to offer a consistent, caring experience that aligns with the pet’s routine and needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while they are in our hands.

She takes care of the space and keeps it clean, and goes above and beyond always. She’s reliable. If she says she is going to be there she shows up. She is always my first choice for a dog sitter because I know they will be well cared for and well loved while I’m gone. Our fur babies don’t always get to enjoy the vacations we go on, but the deserve the best life too and I know when Kaila comes to take care of them it’s a mini vacay for them too.”
