3. Victoria A.
“Victoria has been the owner of two cats for about 6 years, she speaks to them as if they are her own children so they can feel loved and seen. She grew up with 3 dogs for the majority of her life and is not afraid of them and knows how to treat them, she is patient, knowledgeable and observant. She will do EXCELLENTLY as a dog walker for Rover.”
4. Alyssa S.
“I felt comfortable leaving my 2 cats to be cared for by Alyssa. She was able to drop in prior to the booking to get instructions and communicated well. The cats are very shy - practically feral - but she was still able to snap a photo. I would definitely book with her again.”
5. Bethoney Q.
“We are so glad we had Bethoney checking in on our cat Isaac while we were away. She sent so many pictures and went above and beyond making sure he wasn’t bored or lonely. Would 1000% recommend her services for your pet.”
6. Lilia F.
“Lilia was great! Very communicative and you can tell she really loves animals and cared about our pets :)”
7. Daina G.
“I have known Daina for over a decade and have trusted her with my low riders with special needs (my first shih tzu had ivdd and my most recent little guy had seizures due to a brain tumor). The level of care, attentiveness, and concern Daina has shown them matched that of her own fur kids. Daina is thoughtful, thorough, and considerate and keeps in constant communication to keep one’s mind at ease. Her photography skills are nothing to scoff at so expect some cute “proof of life” updates. I promise you will not regret entrusting your companions with her!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for years. I’ve owned 2 cats and currently own a dog. I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats by walking, feeding and grooming them. My schedule is pretty open. I’m available most days and willing to accept bookings on weekends. I have a lot of free time right now because I’m not working at the moment. I will be sure to provide the best care possible for your pet. I look forward to giving them the love and attention they need and deserve.
11. Iwona K.
“Yes, all good! Thank you. Unfortunately no treats for her but she will start to warm up! I'll try and leave a box in the kitchen. She likes to sit in the box and watch so might keep her sitting still for meds.”
12. Leilani D.
“She was amazing, and prompt everyday feeding my cats, I will use her again.”
13. Hana T. S.
“Hana was a great caregiver, she did house sitting at times last minute and was very helpful. I highly recommend this person. Great job Hana.”
14. Maybelline F.
About: Since I was 5 years old I have had different types of dog breeds, I consider myself a pet lover. I have training skills. I have a lot of patience to teach dogs to sit and be patient, and I can tell most of their needs by their body language. I have a deaf sister and I have to teach my dog to understand when she wants to give her a high five or how to sit in sign language. With patience, I teach my little puppy from going from peeing inside the house to peeing and pooping outside, with a lot of patience and love it can be achieved. I'm actually working from home, I can work in the morning and afternoon, walking with a dog and playing with them is the best therapy. I have a big yard and a dog, so your puppy can have a friend to play with. I also like to train the basic needs.

About: As a seasoned and compassionate dog sitter, dog walker, and doggy day care provider, I bring a wealth of experience and a deep love for animals to every furry friend I care for. My journey with animals began in my childhood, where I developed a strong bond with pets and a natural affinity for understanding their needs and behaviors. From a young age, I spent countless hours playing, nurturing, and learning from various animals, particularly dogs. This early exposure instilled in me a profound respect for the unique personalities and unconditional love that dogs offer. As I grew older, my passion for dogs only intensified, leading me to pursue opportunities to care for them professionally. With years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for dogs, I have honed my skills in providing top-notch care for furry companions. Whether it's a leisurely walk in the park, a cozy stay at home, or a fun-filled day at the doggy day care, I prioritize the safety, well-being, and happiness of every dog under my watch. My approach as a dog sitter, walker, and day care provider is rooted in patience, attentiveness, and a deep understanding of canine behavior. I strive to create a nurturing and engaging environment where dogs feel comfortable, loved, and cherished. With me, your beloved furry friend is not just in good hands – they are in the hands of someone who values their happiness and health above all else. Trust me to be your go-to dog caregiver, and rest assured that your dog will receive the best care, attention, and love they deserve. I also Have two very Friendly French bulldogs that live with me, so i am only able to care for one animal at a time, but rest assured you dog will be safe, and as long as they are friendly too i'm sure they will a blast playing together, as of now my schedule is pretty open! I'm am most available during the weekdays, mid afternoon, but i can also come by later in the night as i'm usually up late, I have a grass patio where the pups can go potty in the middle of the night or early mornings, and i usually provide 2-3 walks per day depending on how hot or cold it is, but rest assured i will make sure they are comfortable and taken care of.

“Jeff is really wonderful around dogs and loves to match their energy. His home is in a nice dog-friendly neighborhood and provides a nice warm space for any dogs boarding there. Would definitely recommend Jeff for dog sitting/boarding.”
17. Onyxia L.
“Onyxia comes highly recommended for any task or responsibility she takes on. Her dedication and reliability are qualities that make her stand out, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a dependable and trustworthy person.”
18. Anton S.
“Anton was available at a moment's notice and took great care of my dog while I was out of town for a weekend. Would definitely recommend him as a sitter.”

About: I am 33 and working from home. Originally, I am from Michigan and I am from a family that has cared for dogs/cats my entire life. My parents were incredible fosters for Planned Pethood and at one point we lived on 40 acres with a variety of 7 loved dogs and other pets. I'm looking to care for you fur-babies as a way of comfort, supplement income, and getting out of the house and exercising during the day. I do have 2 cats that are familiar being around dogs, but it's not their favorite pastime. So, they typically will hang in their bedroom. Yes, they have a room. Their names are Penny and Peso and they are spoiled very much so. I work from home full time, so I’m always open to an opportunity to be active and get out of the house. What better way to do so than to walk your pup or come play with your cats. At this time, unfortunately I am not able to take house dogs or cats into my home as it would add stress to my cats.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is I believe I am very genuine with my caregiving. I am doing it to better the animal and help in anyway possible. I have been caring for animals (specifically dogs) since 8 years old. I am now 18 and I couldn’t see it any other way. In my junior year of high school I took care of many animals during my animal care class. These animals ranged from birds, ferrets, guinea pigs, sugar gliders, bearded dragons, hamsters & rats plus others. I would say the course was very informative. I have all the time in the world to hang with fur babies. Yes there may be times where I may go out but I am usually home. I don’t have a fenced yard but I do have two other dogs in my home who can absolutely play with your baby. I also have no issues taking any of the animals on a walk.
