“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.”


“Sandra took such great care of both our very large dogs and cat for ten days. Very detailed with her notes and consistent with pictures. They had long walks, play time , food bowl refresh and cuddle time. Couldn’t be more pleased for the love care and attention she provided to my fur babies.”


“Karyn was very responsive and kept me updated with my Malibu! I definitely will be booking again. Karyn is super amazing and really cares about what she does!! Thank you Karyn!”


About: I have over two years of hands-on pet care experience, primarily with my own Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, who I’ve raised since a puppy. Through daily care, training, grooming, and regular vet visits, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the breed’s needs and temperament. In addition, I frequently dog-sit a French Bulldog and a Shih Tzu, giving me experience with different personalities and care requirements. Whether it’s administering food and medication, going on walks, or providing comfort and playtime, I’m attentive and reliable with each pet’s individual routine. I am available every weekday from 5:30pm till midnight for walks or drop in visits. On weekends, I am pretty available for dog walks, boarding, etc. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that matches each pet’s routine and personality. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly space with plenty of room for play, rest, and attention. I follow the pet’s feeding schedule, offer daily walks, and provide enrichment through toys and affection—just like I do for my own Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

“Bri was such a tremendous help for us and our boys loved her! She is very professional and communicative. Also responsive and flexible to our last minute requests. Thank you, Bri, for your help!”

On weekends, I’m available all day. I am For dog walks, pet sitting, and house boarding. I have a townhouse with a fenced in back yard. So there is easy access for potty breaks and out door time.

“Mary is AMAZING. My kitty is sweet but particular about who she hides from or greets. She LIVES Mary and greets her at the door just as she does us. I always know when I have to travel that Luna is in excellent hands. Mary treats her with such love.”


About: I am a General Agriculture Pre Vet major and I plan to use everything I learn in school along with my hands-on experience from helping raise animals to give each pet the best care possible. From playful puppies to sweet senior pets, I have the patience, love, and knowledge to meet their unique needs. I truly enjoy making tails wag and building trust with every furry friend I meet. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I work part time and am currently home from college, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give lots of love, attention, and care to your furry babies. Spending time with animals is one of my favorite things to do, and I’m more than happy to make them feel safe, happy, and well cared for throughout the day. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I care for pets with love, patience, and attention to their individual needs. I make sure they have a clean, safe environment, fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. I follow any specific routines or instructions provided and take the time to make pets feel comfortable and stress-free, whether that means extra cuddle time, a quiet space to relax, or fun activities to keep them engaged.

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 am excited to welcome new dogs to hang out with me, my family and our dog. I have been a dog mom to our furry baby for the last 5 years. She recognizes me as the mom of the “pack”. Wherever I go she goes and she loves to have playmates around. Who knows, maybe your pup can be her new BFF (best furry friend). I have a flexible work schedule and can adjust as needed. Each morning would begin with a walk either for stretching or for potty time. Additional walks will be provided throughout the day. If you have a crate or pen for your pup, you should definitely bring it with you. When I leave home, I put our fury baby in her gated pen. Plenty walks will be provided and I have a lot of space outdoors for such activity. Please provide paw wipes and poop bags.

“Lisa is great with our pups, despite our younger one being very stranger-adverse. She is patient with them and ensures they are okay which means my work day is less stressful.”

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.

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.
