Maxibel did an amazing job taking care of my two pups! From the start, communication was clear and consistent, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about animals my dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. I came home to two relaxed and content pups, which says everything. I would absolutely trust Maxibel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

About: I have experience with both dogs and cats. I lived with my cousin and her dog for some time so her dog became my adopted dog. I enjoyed taking her on walks, playing with her, and making sure she is happy which made me happy. After some time, I moved out and got a cat. My cat was very playful, had a unique funny and cute character. But unfortunately she got very sick. There were many veterinary visits to take her to, administration of medications and making her last living few weeks as best as possible. I enjoy taking care of pets. I am an animal lover and am passionate about all animals. I currently have a flexible schedule so I can accommodate your pet’s needs. Both mornings and early afternoon work best for Monday through Friday :) I am respectful of my client’s home and treat pets as if they are my own. I am attentive and responsive to pet’s needs. My goal is to make sure your pets are comfortable and happy.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and my hands-on care in different situations. I’ve been taking care of my own dogs, cats, and bunnies since I was six years old, so I understand daily routines, exercise needs, and how to keep pets happy and safe. I’ve also helped my grandmother care for cats through the Start Foundation, where I learned patience, gentle handling, and how to look after multiple animals at once. Because of this, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies and kittens who needs attention to older pets who require a calmer, more careful approach. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’ve always had responsibilities taking care of animals at home. I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention they need. I’m consistent and organized, so I can easily stick to a pet’s routine and follow any specific instructions. On a weekly basis, I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be reliable and available for regular visits or last-minute needs. Taking care of pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority to give them quality time, whether that’s exercise, play, or just keeping them company. For dog walking, I make sure each walk is safe, structured, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and needs. I follow your usual route or preferences, keep dogs securely leashed, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. During walks, I allow time for exercise, bathroom breaks, and a positive interactions so they stay happy and engaged. For drop-in visits, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up after them, and spending quality time with play or companionship so they don’t feel lonely. I also keep an eye on their overall behavior and well-being, making sure everything seems normal while you’re away. For cats, I make sure they are safely in their home and always being careful about opening the door so they don't escape. I take my time till they get to know me. In both cases, I respect your home, follow all instructions carefully, and provide dependable, attentive care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I have been an animal lover all of my life. I grew up with cats, caring for my beloved Walter until he passed at 20 years old. I have since had the pleasure of my own Lab (now 10) as well as experience in Doggy Day Care where I was playroom manager and responsible for dogs anywhere from 1-20 in one playroom at a time(room combo of an average of 45-55 dogs in the whole building split between rooms and size).I am looking forward to more one on one relationships with families and their pets. I am looking forward to a career as a Vet Technician, and plan to take classes in the Fall. At the moment, I am wide open to spend time with local pets as I prepare to return to school. My plan come Fall will be part time classes and more time animals. Pet care will be my priority in my weekly routine. I always spend time in advance with the fur babies to get to know them and importantly, discuss the pet parents' needs. Do they need special food? Special training at meals for over excited pups? How much do they like to play/walk? Do they like to interact with other pets or prefer to stay one on one with me? I am also extremely responsible in the homes of pet parents, cleaning up after the babies as well as making sure the home is secure.

I am very fortunate to have found Yang to take care of my girls for a week. Yang was extremely kind, trustworthy, communicative, caring, responsible, prepared, thoughtful and generous. In our meet and greet she brought a notebook, connected with my cats and asked great questions before leaving. She offered to bring her own brush to groom my one cat, wore shoe covers to keep my place clean and even brought her own litter bags to take away each day. The level of detail and attention she provided throughout the whole experience was something I have never experienced from a pet sitter and the genuine bond she formed with my cats made me exceedingly assured, content and happy knowing they had her presence and care while I was away. I can’t recommend Yang enough and will pick her as my sitter going forward.

Enis was great with Teddy! This was our first time using Rover and we were very satisfied with the promptness and care Teddy received. Enis was booked somewhat last minute and was very accommodating, came to meet Teddy ahead of time and was able to stop by twice when we were out for the day. We received Rover cards and photos right after each visit which was so nice. Would gladly book Enis again.

About: If you give me the opportunity to care for your pet, you'll feel at ease knowing I'll take care of it as if it were my own. I'll give it all the love and attention it needs to make you feel happy. Right now I'd like to dedicate myself solely to animals and their care. I have every day of the week free to dedicate myself to them. For me, all animals deserve the same treatment and care. I always give them my best, no matter the occasion. I will always give you all my love, attention and you will never lack my care.

About: I bring a rare blend of structured accountability, diverse hands-on experience, and an intuitive connection with animals of all shapes and sizes. What truly sets me apart: Deep, Lifelong Experience: I have loved and cared for pets across the entire spectrum—from being a former Golden Retriever owner to adopting an elderly Tuxedo cat. Whether handling large, enthusiastic breeds or patient senior companions, I understand their unique needs. Active, Versatile Care: As an experienced dog walker, my current routine includes regularly walking a high-energy Cockapoo. I am proudly Pitbull-friendly. The Magic Touch: As a former Licensed Massage Therapist, I have the magic touch - "Tails will be-a-waggin'!" Rescue-Level Empathy: Having successfully rehabilitated my own skittish street-rescue cat, I'm good at reading subtle body language and building trust with nervous or reactive animals at their own pace. I guarantee total respect for your home security, strict adherence to your routines, and exceptional communication while you are away! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I am fully available from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM just about every day of the week for scheduled bookings. This wide window allows me to seamlessly adapt to your pet's established schedule, ensuring they get their meals, walks, and potty breaks exactly when they expect them. Because I manage my calendar carefully with a 3-day advance notice window, I am able to guarantee that when your pet is on my schedule, they receive my completely dedicated, active companionship and attentive care exactly when they need it most. My approach to pet care is rooted in deep empathy, household security, and strict adherence to an animal's natural comfort zones. • Home Security & Integrity: I treat your home with the utmost respect. This means strict double-checking of door locks, ensuring gates are securely latched during backyard play, and maintaining a calm, hazard-free environment indoors. • Routine Consistency: I follow your instructions to the letter. Whether it's morning feedings, dedicated mid-evening playtime, or ensuring the litter box is perfectly clean before bed, consistency is how I keep your pets feeling safe and secure. • Patience with Sensitive Pets: I bring a calm, grounded energy to your home. I know when to give a pet their space and when to offer affection, ensuring they always feel secure and never pressured. If your pet needs extra time to adjust to a new face, I bring a calm, patient presence that allows them to approach me whenever they feel completely comfortable.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I currently have 3 bunnies of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. I absolutely love puppies and enjoy giving pets lots of attention, playtime, and care while their owners are away! Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I care for my own pets every day. I’m used to feeding schedules, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure animals feel comfortable and cared for. Since I’m a PA student with a flexible summer schedule, I’m able to dedicate time throughout the week to giving pets plenty of attention, walks, and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any household rules. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while also keeping the home clean and secure. I understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your pets, and I will always provide updates and treat your pets like my own.

I am very fortunate to have found Luis a couple weeks before going on a trip. Luis was extremely trustworthy, communicative, accommodating, caring, thoughtful, kind, responsible and prepared. In our initial meetup he took notes, connected with my cats and asked good questions before leaving. I stress when I go away and leave my girls, knowing they had Luis was very comforting. He stayed longer than needed sometimes and was able to accept additional sessions on short notice. He is tremendously reliable. I am very happy with how my girls were treated and will pick Luis as my sitter going forward.

Kaitlin went truly above and beyond for us. During this visit she wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t drive, yet instead of canceling, she arranged for a family member to bring her so our cats would still be cared for. We were incredibly grateful for the extra effort and thoughtfulness she showed. Kaitlin has demonstrated her dedication and commitment time and again, and we feel very lucky to have her caring for our cats. We trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
