“Marinna was an amazing sitter! She was attentive towards the cats and spent lots of time with them. She made sure all their special needs were addressed like meds and special diets and was available to answer my questions while I was away from home. I would definitely rebook with her. Thanks, Marinna!”


About: I have had pets my whole life. I have had many dogs and some cats as well. I can train puppies, have lots of patience with them, and can love on them all day long. I have 2 dogs. Someone is always home, so pups are never unattended. We have a 11 year old daughter as well who loves animals and loves to help care for them. We have 3 acres of land, and a log home. We have a cable to hook up dogs who like to wander, but can allow dogs to run loose if they are well trained.

“Brigitte peeped in on my babies while I was traveling. I was happy to know they were looked after by a cat lover, she said all my boyz even the skittish one came to visit. So happy to have Brigitte checking in on them.”


About: Being a dog parent, I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet at home. My goal is to make sure your pets are happy and healthy, even if it means doing a little extra. I am committed to going beyond expectations and making sure your pet is happy while you are away. I am currently a teacher who enjoys customer service. I love doing Rover because I can still do my regular job and end my day by taking care of your pets! I promise you, if I can wrangle 13 year olds into learning I’ll have the patience and compassion to keep your fur baby happy while you are away. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I make sure all routines are kept and will do extra so that they are comfortable while you are away.

About: Hello! My name is Kayla, and I have over 7 years of experience caring for animals professionally, aside from caring for own companion animals for about 15 years. I currently work as a welfare specialist at an animal sanctuary, but have worked in four different animal rescue and care spaces. Along with my extensive knowledge and experience with animal care, I also practice positive reinforcement training and have worked with several different species to provide cognitive enrichment as well as training behaviors for cooperative care. I would love to offer your companion some extra support while you're busy. So I hope you reach out to me for your care needs! I work full time, usually Monday to Friday, but can flex my hours if needed. Best times for walks and drop ins are Monday-Friday after 3pm and anytime on the weekends. I can board or sit any day of the week. My philosophy of care is to support our companions' natural and preferred behaviors in a way that protects their safety. Essentially, I let dogs be dogs. I do not believe in punishment, and will not use aversive tools such as shock, choke, and prong collars. If these are the tools that you use in your home, I will use my own harness or collar while caring for your companion. I believe in providing our companions with agency and understanding, not fear and restriction.

“Lillian recently did drop in visits over the weekend to care for our cats; She was incredibly attentive, ensuring that our one cat felt comfortable even during nervous moments. She kept the litter and food spaces clean and tidy, she provided regular updates and followed through on all our agreed-upon plans. It’s clear that she cares about pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for drop in pet care.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all age and sizes since I was a child. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to do anything their pet needs while they’re away. In the future I’m looking to take a dog training course and slow transition into that as a full time job. Every morning I wake up and immediately tend to the dogs and let them outside to use the bathroom and play around, then we come Inside to eat breakfast to start the day. We go outside about 3x daily to potty and play. I have a big privacy fenced in yard for play time. I have 4 dogs of my own. However I typically do not let them converse with my boarding dogs unless known that they are friendly.

I am married of 12 years, we have a 14 year old son, and have 3 pomeranian/papillon. We are very pet friendly. The dogs are free to roam as they please. We have potty trained our 3 dogs. We let our dogs on the furniture and through out our house, we believe in on open environment. Our dogs go outside as often as they like, we do not have a doggy door, but I do take them out every few hours when I am home. The dogs always have food and water that are out all the time. I drive a Chevy Traverse, for when I need to either pick dogs up from their home's or for when we leave the dogs have somewhere to sit. My services are great, because here in our house we love animals of all shapes and sizes. I take pride in taking care of our animals and yours as well.
