Sabrina is a rare soul that cares for animals as if they were her own. I have a special needs lab and trust her to care for her when I can’t be there. I’m so appreciative of her professionalism, communication and the care she provides my sweet girl. 6 stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

About: Hey! I’m a lifelong animal nerd with 20+ years of hands-on experience — dogs, cats, fish, farm animals… you name it. I’ve done everything from basic care to grooming and handling special needs pets(Diabetes and administering chemo meds). I also have a soft spot for rescues — I’ve taken in more than a few over the years, including cats, dogs, and even birds. Yup… parrot/wild bird experience too. My home is basically a safe-haven full of spoiled, happy furballs and feathers. If you’re nervous about leaving your baby with someone new, totally get it. I’m always happy to chat, send pics/updates, and answer questions so you feel good about who’s caring for your pet. Whether your pet needs walks, cuddles, meds, or just someone calm to hang with while you’re away, I’m here. Reach out any time — I’d love to help. My days revolve around my pets, I work from home so I have availability to be here or there when needed, before my full time job starts up I have even more availability! All my animals are free roam, I have a large fenced in yard, all my cats love all my dogs and vice versa. My house is pet friendly and designed for safety and ease of loving and protecting all my babies.

This was my first time using Rover, I am so glad I found Britney! She went above and beyond to make sure my home and 3 cats were well taken care of while I was gone on a trip. I received lots of pictures, videos, and updates, and my cats loved her, even the shy ones were loving on her!

I needed a dog sitter for a couple of hours and reached out to Rob. He responded quickly and was very courteous. I felt comfortable leaving my sweet girl in his care. She also appeared to be comfortable with Rob. I initially selected Rob because his profile stated that he was a dog trainer. I hope to have some training sessions in the near future. I'm so happy that I found a caring sitter that is very knowledgeable about dogs! Rob will be my go-to sitter from now on.

About: Hi, I’m Jewls! 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life — I’ve had dogs since childhood, cared for pets of all kinds, and even rescued stray cats. I truly believe animals are like babies: they can’t advocate for themselves, so it’s up to us to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. What sets me apart is my natural empathy and attentiveness. I don’t just “watch” pets — I bond with them, pay attention to their unique needs, and make sure they feel comfortable and happy every step of the way. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, your pet will be treated like family. I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, from tiny kittens to big pups with big personalities. Animals naturally gravitate toward me because they can feel the love and patience I bring. You’ll always have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, reliable hands. Availability & Flexibility: I currently have a very flexible schedule. I do part-time delivery work, which allows me to structure my day around the pets in my care. If your pet needs more constant presence, I’m absolutely able to prioritize staying home full-time during the booking — I just ask that extended, full-time care be reflected in the rate. My goal is always to make sure your pet gets the level of attention and care you want, whether that’s frequent check-ins or me being there most of the day. I’m also very clean, respectful of your home, and make sure everything looks just as good (or better!) than when you left. 💛 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. My set availability is: • Fridays – All day • Saturdays – All day • Thursdays – Afternoons This schedule allows me to give your pet the attention, love, and care they need without being rushed. When your pet is with me, they’re treated just like family. I’m very attentive and make sure to follow their routine exactly — from meal times and walks to playtime and snuggles. I believe pets thrive when they feel safe and understood, so I focus on giving them comfort, patience, and plenty of love. I pay close attention to the little things: their body language, energy level, and needs, making sure they’re happy and relaxed. Whether it’s long walks, fun play sessions, or calm cuddle time, I adapt to each pet’s personality. My goal is always to keep them safe, cared for, and loved, while giving you peace of mind that they’re in the best hands.

About: I have been around dogs literally my whole life. I don't remember a time since I was born that I didn't have a dog. From sleeping on our pit bull as a toddler to rescuing a shelter baby to keep me company at college dogs have been an amazing part of my story. I'd even like to think that because of my fur babies I was more prepared to taken on the new journey of becoming a parent of an amazing little girl. Because of these experiences, I have learned many things about not only catering to a variety of personalities, but being creative in entertainment and time management. With these skills and all the added free time I have now that my daughter has started school I can assure you that not only will I be easily accessible for your needs, but I will make sure that you and your pet are sure to have a comfortable and enjoyable time using my services.

About: I have always loved caring for animals and treat every pet like a member of the family. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, that allows me to provide your dog with my full attention and a calm, comfortable environment during their stay. My home features a secure fenced-in patio with pet-friendly turf for outdoor time, and I’m fortunate to have a large dog park directly across the street as well as another dog-friendly area within my neighborhood. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I can tailor their care to their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I have also volunteered with animal shelters, giving me a strong understanding of dog safety and behavior. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I would be honored to provide reliable, attentive care for your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am currently a nursing student and stay at home mom. This allows me to give your fur babies my full attention and lots of love and interactive play! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, and any special instructions. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a clean, safe environment. Dogs have access to a fenced-in patio with pet turf and can enjoy walks or trips to the nearby dog park if approved by their owner. Cats are provided with a quiet, comfortable space, fresh water, clean litter boxes, and enrichment activities tailored to their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all care instructions carefully, provide regular updates and photos, maintain feeding and medication schedules, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.
