“Jacquelyn has been absolutely amazing with our high energy puppy. She keeps her busy and sends consistent updates. Koa is always tired and happy when she leaves. Thank you so so much!”

“Daniella was great! She was available last minute! She kept me updated with everything they did during the drop in visit. She sent the cutest pictures as well! Came home to a very happy puppy. Can’t wait to schedule the next drop in visit!”

“I loved Kyla’s service for my cat when I went away for a few days. She followed the instructions beautifully and showed a lot of care towards my little one. She made sure everything was good and I was able to relax while I was on my trip. I would definitely recommend her services! Kyla was an excellent match for what I needed and the service I was looking for. Great communication and super easy to work with. Thank you Kyla!”

“Rachel was amazing! We went out of town for just one night and she was able to drop in on our boys for potty breaks, playtime, etc. She took care to follow our instructions, and made us feel at ease with them under her care. I would definitely recommend Rachel for your pet’s needs!”

“Alicia was great! She was dependable and very easy to communicate with, and the cats loved her when she came for a meet and greet. I will definitely ask her to sit for my cats again.”

“Araceli is amazing! All my cats usually avoid strangers, but all of them came out at the very first visit for pets and treats. She was extremely responsive to messages, punctual, and highly communicative. We will absolutely be requesting her again for our future pet sitting needs!”

About: I can’t help but feel my inner dog mom kick in when I hear someone say, "I’ll walk your dog and play tug-of-war with them!" And in the back of my mind, I’m thinking, "Okay, but are you ready to throw yourself in front of a squirrel for them?!" Lol. All joking aside, my instincts to protect and nurture animals under my care runs very deep. When your pet is with me, I’ll treat them with the same care and devotion I’d want for my own. I was blessed to be the mom of a miniature pinscher named Oakley. I cared for him as his full-time mommy for the last 8 years of his life. In his final year, I was on constant alert—monitoring his breathing, fine-tuning his diet, researching everything I could and working with vets to adjust his medications as his needs changed. He was my everything, and the thought of trusting someone else with his care—especially toward the end—was terrifying. And I know I’m not the only one who feels that way about their pet. If you’re nervous about leaving your fur baby with someone new, I get it. But I hope sharing a little of my story reassures you that I don’t take this responsibility lightly. If your pet has special needs, you can trust that I’ll provide patient, attentive care. I know from experience that even the smallest details can make a big difference. I will never judge you for asking me to pay close attention to things that might seem unimportant to the average person. I will listen and do my absolute best to provide the best care possible. I follow instructions to the letter, take notes, and will go the extra mile to make sure your pet is safe, happy, and cared for. Need picture updates? Texts? Calls? No problem—I want you to feel just as at ease as your pet. They are our loved ones, and they deserve nothing less than the very best care and compassion. I’m down to earth, calm and easy-going, but also incredibly reliable. I have cared for pets all my life including dogs, cats and guinea pigs! I am comfortable around all pets and have been told on multiple occasions that I bring a calming presence to a home and that animals have a tendency to feel comfortable and safe around me. If you’re interested in scheduling a meeting or consult with me, feel free to reach out! I am here for you! I work part time and have a very flexible schedule. I work as an assistant for two different people and they are willing to work around any changes I need to make for pet sitting and care. I'm also a music teacher but that is only a few hours out of my week. :) I have a first floor apartment with a contained dog play area right next to my apartment building. I live near the Lakes and am very familiar with lots of good walking routes in this area. I take dogs out for potty breaks often!
“Nakiah took wonderful care of my dog last weekend! My pup seemed very happy and comfortable in her care, and I appreciated how Nakiah kept me informed throughout the visit with updates. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Nakiah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

Jenny runs her own appointment-based beauty service business, so her schedule has some built-in flexibility. We are always happy to see how we can make things work around house/pet-sitting! At this time, we do not offer pet boardings. Our main focus is on in-home pet care at our client’s residence, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment.

Following the pet’s usual routine and any specific instructions provided.
“We have hired Paul for visiting our two cats numerous times and he always provides great care. Prior to hiring him for our latest vacation, one of our cats had developed separation anxiety. We asked Paul to keep an eye out for excessive grooming which he did. During a visit early on, he noticed that this cat took a liking to his jacket and napped on it during the visit. Paul left his jacket for the remainder of the visit thinking it might help, which it did. We think that is going above and beyond! We highly recommend Paul for your pet sitting needs. He wiIl truly keep your pet’s care at heart!”
“Thank the universe for Rachel! She is super responsive and SUPER on top of everything! She went above and beyond for my two kitties and I’m so thankful.”

The Lakes pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jacquelyn was fantastic! She took excellent care of our dog, Mia, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves what she does. Mia was happy and well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely book with Jacquelyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walker!

Kathryn is very dependable and goes about her job very professionally. She is always looking for ways to make life better for the animals. And Kathryn is very good about responding when questions arise. I just don't have to worry when she is on the job. With Kathryn, your life will be less stressful. She makes it all happen hassle-free. So you can relax and breathe easy.
Kimberly was so loving and patient with my Paka. She graciously accepted my last minute booking and was unphased by Paka’s stranger danger scaredy cat routine. She sent photos and updates with every drop in visit and gave me wonderful peace of mind while I was away for a funeral. Thank you for everything Kimberly! We’ll see you again!

Gabriella and her husband are incredibly kind, reliable, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away on our trip. She sent plenty of photos and updates, which really helped us relax knowing our cat was in good hands. She treated our home with great care and respect, and our cat warmed up to her very quickly. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter. 🐾

Callie did so good on her drop in visit with Kyle! It was our first time leaving our puppy alone with someone else and we were super nervous. But she did an amazing job watching Kyle. She sent pictures and her communication was perfect. I would definitely recommend Callie to watch over your pet and will be using her again! Already looking forward to her helping us out more the next few weeks.

I returned home from a week away to find a very relaxed dog and two cats. They're all remarkably happy and content, pleased to see me, but not needing me. They are used to me being with them 24/7, and sensitive to strangers, so I was very wary about leaving. Elizabeth and Eric were magical with them. I think they might have been happier with Elizabeth and Eric here than me! Getting the report cards, photo gallery, and messages three times a day was so amazing and such a relief. I could see that my kids were happy. These two are outstanding! Thank you Elizabeth and Eric!

Cynthia was wonderful! She was friendly, professional, and very communicative throughout my holiday trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even went above and beyond by bringing my packages inside for safekeeping. I’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.
