“I feel like I struck gold when I found Rita— she dropped in daily for 3 weeks to take care of my three skittish cats while I had to unexpectedly spend time in the hospital. Through the Rover app she was able to communicate daily about her visits while providing pictures or video through face time. She was dependable, reliable and caring — she even brought a special cat toy from home to build rapport with these shy cats. I appreciated her going the extra mile and her assistance to me. I got to recover rather than worry about the cats — what a gift! I will always request her in future and recommend her and Rover to others.”

About: As a passionate pet owner, I understand the joy and responsibility of keeping your dog happy, healthy, and active. With a love for all breeds and a commitment to personalized care, I offer dog walking services that go beyond just a quick stroll. Whether it’s a lively adventure or a calm, scenic walk, I treat your furry friend like my own—ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. Let me help give your dog the best walk of their day! I work from home and have a car. I’m open to early morning walks and evenings. I can also provide support during most weekends and holidays. One pet has a special diet and since I have 3 in total, they all eat the same. That way I know whether any issues are truly with one pet or there is another issue with the environment or food.
“Tatiana is amazing with our dogs. She has taken the time to understand each of their needs (one of which is extremely shy and takes a long time to warm up). The dogs love her and look forward to her weekly visit.”
About: I have grown up caring for pets my whole life. I had several cats as well as dogs as a child and I learned from a young age to both respect and engage these animals as part of our family in a gentle and loving manner. I believe that taking the time to allow an animal get to know you and accept your energy and presence is most important for quality care. Taking the time to do this allows me to get to know each animal and get a sense of their personality and needs. I have quick reflexes and I am a very active person, so not only will I keep your pet safe, but I will also ensure that they are well-exercised and happy during their outing.
About: Reliable and attentive pet sitter with proven experience providing comfort and care to both dogs and cats. I have been the proud fur mama to my own puff balls: Ghost, a male Cane Corso (May 2020 – April 2025, crossed the rainbow bridge), and Gumbo, a male domestic shorthair tabby cat, currently 7 months old (adopted at 2 months). I have the patience and adaptability to care for all temperaments, including shy, stubborn, anxious, skittish, high-energy, and aggressive pets. My priority is to tailor my care style to meet your pet's needs, ensuring the most enjoyable stay possible and putting both you and your pet at ease. I am willing to facilitate any training or routines you want to maintain for your pet while you’re away, administer medicine, and provide light grooming (hair detangling/combing, baths, teeth brushing, etc.) for an added fee. My cat is free-roaming and very friendly, but I can provide isolated areas for your cat(s) and mine if needed. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies, whether they stay with me or I drop in for some fun fur auntie time! Pet care is a normal part of the routine, recent long time dog owner (5 years, passed rainbow bridge 04/2025). I work from home 2 days a week and typically home on weekends. Was owner to an adult mastiff/cane corso and so, regular walks, attention, and play are a part of my daily and weekly routine. I have stubborn pup who scales the spectrum between very obedient to going full on sas and temper tantrum, so I am comfortable with all types of temperaments of dogs. If you allow joint play, I will allow it supervised by myself, or if your pup prefers 1:1 time - I will divide crate and play time between my dog and yours separately. Large dogs - will alternate with my dog having one be crated at night and throughout the day outside of scheduled play time, walks, and potty breaks to allow less frustration across both for freedom.and saftey, but I can accommodate dogs who are not crate trained and crate my pup if needed - his crate is like his tiny house - he enjoys it. Small dogs, unless otherwise requested, will take priority for free reign throughout the day/uncrated. I live in a quiet neighborhood, much traffic, and it has quiet short walking trails with trees; I have a small fenced back yard as well for roaming. I do not board rottweilers, huskies, malamutes, or male pit bulls due to my dog's disposition of them, but can do check-ins and 1:1 dog walks with these breeds.

Ann F.
“Ann is the most responsible pet owner I have ever met. She is a true animal lover and has a wide range of skills in working with a variety of animals such as horses, cats, and dogs. She has worked in animal welfare since a young age and is highly trusted in being a caretaker for any pet. She loves each animal she meets as if it were her own. Not only is she just an animal person, but she is the quintessential caregiver having years of babysitting experience under her belt. She is open, transparent, loving, warm, and has the absolute utmost most integrity in everything she does. I could not think of a better person to trust with my pet or child.”
