“Sade is great and responded to a last minute request. She was communicative, and she responses very quickly. Her home is organized and clean, and her two fur babies are adorable. Trina stayed with her for one night and was well taken care of. I would come back again, thanks Sade!”
“Achara is the best. Hudson has spent several long weekends with her now and he is more excited to see her and her family at drop off than to see us at pick up! A great sign that he feels right at home there. Achara is always really easy to communicate with, sending photos and updates throughout his stay - in fact most recently she helped us coordinate a last minute pickup as we were heading to the hospital to have a baby! Couldn’t recommend her highly enough as a loving home for our fur baby when we’re away.”
“Kazue was amazing! We left for a 7 day cruise with limited access to our phones. It was nice to come back to our phone with lots of pictures and updates about Potato. Being away from our dog for over a week, we knew he was in great care. Thank you!!”
“Martha was awesome! Very attentive and caring. Kept in contact to let me know how Angel was adjusting. And sent pictures which reassured me that she is definitely an animal lover 🩷🩷🩷”
“Erin is amazing! She’s been our go to sitter. One of our pups has anxiety when it comes to fireworks/firecrackers. She let him sleep in bed with her until he calmed down and fell asleep. We love Erin!”
“My dog is aging and becoming physically frailer such that I’ve become much more picky about who I leave him with. Cedric is clearly kind and patient, manages his dogs and home in a safe manner, and sent plenty of pictures to put my mind at ease. Will be sending my old man to spend time with him again.”
“Melissa is a good Sitter For Faith.. She always send me pics of updating on how she doing and has Faith around other dogs.. Faith is not friendly with other dogs but when she stays with Melissa.. She is good around them.. In the future I will be booking with Melissa again..”
“Juneau had a blast with Lety and Mason. I appreciated the frequent photos and videos updating me on all of Juneau’s adventures throughout the weekend. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Juneau again!”
“Tamara was excellent! We needed someone last minute and Tamara was more than welcoming. She provided updates and pictures. Potato had a great time with Tamara and Teddy. Looking forward to a future stay ☺️”
“Regina’s did a great job taking care of Kobe. She sent me pictures and videos almost every day, and she even dropped him off at another dog sitter for me when I wasn't able to since I was out of town for two weeks.”
“It was our dogs’ first time away from home. Susan and Irv have been wonderful. They went for walks twice in the 24 hour period that they had them. They even sent us photos and updates on how they were doing. Our dogs have always been wary and anxious around strangers, but with Susan and Irvin, they felt immediately comfortable and so did we. They looked happy when we came to pick them up. We feel at ease leaving our fur babies with them again in the future. Thanks for opening your beautiful home for Tobi and Mochi.”
“Doh was great with boarding my dog who occasionally has issues with other dogs. She was able to play in her own separated yard. Doh was also willing to accept her last minute for a holiday. We will definitely be a repeat customer.”
About: I’ve lived with pets my whole life, and I am a very attentive and patient care giver. Any pet staying with me will get lots of attention and love. I will ensure timely feedings, plenty of fresh water, and lots of safety and love. I am a stay at home mom, and my oldest is in full time kindergarten, so I’ll have lots of time to care for your pet, 7 days a week. I have a recently remodeled fenced in back yard, that backs up to a beautiful, shaded nature walk on the edge of a wetlands nature preserve. Any walks we go on will have plenty of safe exploring for your pet. I have two male siamese cats of my own at home who are generally pretty tolerant of other animals. I also have two young children, ages 5 and 3 so as long as your pets are comfortable and good around kids we would love to love on your fur babies!
“I really appreciated that I received a lot of photos and updates ,it made me feel more at ease leaving my dog. Grisel did a great job easing my dog's separation anxiety. I probably will recommend her to my friends and relatives needing a dog sitter.”
“Jacqueline did an awesome job with our dog. She sent pictures after the first day and it was great to see our dog getting along with the others. He certainly got his play time in with the other dogs because he napped more than usual when we picked him up. I would definitely book with Jacqueline again.”
“Alesya was wonderful! She sent us numerous pictures and communicated daily on Mia’s progress while she was staying with Alesya and her family. It’s obvious that Alesya cares deeply about the dogs that she watches.”
About: My love for pets from a young age was so great that I willed my intense asthma and allergies to animals away by growing up with my childhood Jack Russell Terrier, Dash. For the canines, I have trained high anxiety reactive apartment dogs. and successfully established trust and security and worked together on their fears. For the felines, I adapt to their level of desired attention and mental fitness and remain as a constant presence - I don’t assume that they’re independent to be left on their own just because they are cats. I look forward to getting to know your companions and providing them a vacation too as you embark on your own~ I currently work full time (more detail in photos) and have a flexible hybrid work schedule to give your animals the attention they need and deserve. My fenced yard is secured and locked, so your dogs can roam freely in the yard (photos provided for more detail of the environment your doggos would be in)
“This was the first time we left Shadow with someone other than family. We were very reluctant to use a service like Rover. However, after meeting Tracey and her husband at the meet and greet I knew that Shadow would be well taken care of. From the day I dropped him off to picking him up Tracey sent daily updates and she took the best photos. I felt like Shadow was being taken care of the way we would care for him. Tracey is absolutely wonderful! I couldn't have picked a better person to watch Shadow. I highly recommend her and the next time we need a dog sitter I will definitely ask her. Thank you Tracey!!!”
“Tracy was amazing with Holly, and Holly came back home so happy after her visit there. Tracy gave Holly her meds as needed, lots of attention and pets. I would definitely leave Holly with her again.”

About: Hi! I’m Jasmine, new to Rover and currently offering discounted rates while I build my reviews. I provide attentive, reliable care and treat every pet like my own. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them truly makes me happy. I have over 20 years of experience, training in pet first aid, and a background in rescue and fostering, so I’m comfortable with everything from playful pups to shy or senior pets who just need a little extra patience and love. At home, I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I completely understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I also offer house sitting and light cleaning, so not only are your pets taken care of, you’ll come home to a tidy, well-looked-after space too. I’m happy to help with things like bringing in mail, keeping things clean, and making sure everything runs smoothly while you’re gone. Expect lots of updates, cute moments, and peace of mind knowing your pets (and home!) are in good hands 💛 I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and can easily fit into your pet’s normal routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. Whether your pet needs early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’ve got it covered! I provide care in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their own space and routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, personality, and preferences to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. With experience in pet first aid, rescue, and fostering, I’m comfortable handling a variety of situations and always prioritize safety. I’m also respectful of your home and happy to help keep things tidy, bring in mail, and make sure everything is just as you left it, or better, when you return. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pets are getting lots of love and attention while you’re away 🐾 I am happy to meet at a coffee shop prior to your booking so you can ensure I'm the right fit!
“This is our 3rd time booking Jazmine. I had no doubts during the 3 weeks she was doing 2x a day visits for our 4 cats that she was doing an amazing job taking care of our kitties! She spent plenty of time playing with them, cleaning their litterbox and water fountain, and also went above and beyond with keeping our home tidy while we were away. One of our new cats is really shy but warmed up to Jazmine and started playing! When we had an ant infestation, she was willing to come during the times our pest control could make it so she could help make sure the cats were put away. I’m so glad we found Jazmine and have someone we know we can trust to provide great care to our cats when we’re away! It’s always such a relief coming home with everything taken care of and happy cats. Will definitely continue rebooking, thanks Jazmine!”
“Markita was so sweet to my cat, Comet, and ensured she was comfortable while we were out of town. Markita was able to administer Comet’s medication. Thank you, Markita!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my experience, versatility, and special skills. Not only do I currently dog sit and house sit for three families on an as-needed basis, but I also bring a wealth of experience in handling dogs of all ages and needs. I’m skilled at training puppies, which includes basic obedience and socialization techniques. Additionally, I’m comfortable with senior dogs, providing them with extra care and attention to meet their specific health and mobility needs. My commitment to understanding each dog’s unique personality and routine ensures they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for while you're away. I currently work full-time in a community-based job where I have the flexibility to create my own schedule. I like to tailor my schedule around my needs for the week, with weekends being when I have the most availability. My current families prefer that I stay in their home, and I’m open to doing the same with other families as well When caring for pets in my client's home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions or routines the family has established. I ensure pets are fed on time, given fresh water, and get the appropriate amount of exercise and attention. I also monitor their health, administer any needed medications, and keep the environment safe and clean. If there are specific needs or requests for the pets, I prioritize those to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in the absence of their owners
“Mooney is the best! He was so attentive, playful, and my pets loved him! He was very easy to communicate with and also took adorable photos of my cats during his visit. I will definitely use his services again in the future.”
“Brandy is AMAZING! My cat is wriggly and doesn't really like new people AND I have to give her fluids. Brandy came by and and Banana warmed right up to her and she handled giving the fluids like a pro. She is more than what I could have asked for. 100% recommend!”

“Cedric was amazing!!! Hands down the best doggy care one could ask for. He consistently kept me updated about what they had done for the day. Thank you again Cedric!!”
“Sade responded very quick on a Saturday night for a Sunday morning booking. My shy pup was well taken care , safe and sound! Sade updated me with photos of her settling in throughout the day. Sade and her family are a responsible, loving pet haven. We will be back!”
“We’ve booked Grisel several times and will continue to rebook! She has gone above and beyond to provide exemplary care for my Otter boy (lending him a doggy sweater when it’s cold outside and successfully flushing his eyes with his eye wash during allergy flare-ups). I can rest easy knowing that he is in her care.”
“Kona seemed to have a great time - she loves kids and was thoroughly tired out when she returned home from the day. Looking forward to having Kona stay again in the future!”
About: I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone else. Whether you're traveling for work, taking a vacation, or simply need help during a busy week, you're trusting someone to care for a member of your family. I understand that responsibility, and I never take it for granted. I specialize in House Sitting, Pet Boarding, and Dog Walking, providing personalized care that's tailored to each pet's unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, a curious kitten, or a senior companion who enjoys a slower pace, I take the time to understand what makes them feel comfortable, happy, and secure. I welcome pets of all breeds, sizes, and ages, including cats. From playful puppies to senior pets and those with special needs, I tailor my care to meet each pet's individual personality and routine. I also have extensive experience administering oral medications and carefully following detailed care instructions, so you can feel confident your pet's health and well-being are always my priority. I don't see pets as another booking on my calendar. I see them as family members who deserve patience, kindness, attention, and genuine affection. Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood while their family is away. My goal isn't simply to care for your pet. It's to earn your trust and become someone you can rely on whenever you need dependable, compassionate pet care. Because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Your pet will receive plenty of companionship, supervision, and love throughout the day and won't be left alone for long periods. My flexible schedule allows me to provide regular potty breaks, meals, medications, walks, playtime, cuddles, and one-on-one attention based on your pet's normal routine. I know consistency helps pets feel secure, so I do everything I can to make their day feel familiar, comfortable, and stress-free. Communication is just as important to me as the care I provide. When you book with me, you can expect: • Daily updates so you always know how your pet is doing. • Plenty of photos and videos so you can enjoy the little moments you'll miss. • Prompt, reliable communication whenever you have questions. • Honest updates about meals, walks, playtime, naps, medications, and your pet's overall well-being. My goal is for you to relax and enjoy your time away, knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the same love and attention they're accustomed to at home. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is always the same: creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. My home is designed with pets in mind. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, along with several nearby parks and scenic walking trails that are perfect for daily walks, exercise, and outdoor adventures. Whether your pet enjoys an energetic game of fetch, exploring new scents, or a leisurely stroll, I'll make sure they get the activity, enrichment, and one-on-one attention they need. During every visit or stay, your pet receives much more than the basics. They'll enjoy companionship, playtime, enrichment, exercise, affection, and plenty of individualized attention. Whether they love chasing a ball, exploring the neighborhood, curling up on the couch, or simply relaxing beside someone they trust, I'll make sure their days are filled with comfort, fun, and genuine care. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'll carefully follow their established routine, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, favorite activities, bedtime routines, and any special instructions you provide. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care that I give your pet. Above all, I want every pet to feel loved, every home to be respected, and every pet owner to feel confident they made the right choice. I'd love to schedule a Meet & Greet so we can get to know each other, answer any questions you may have, and make sure we're the perfect fit. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming your furry family member with the love, care, and attention they deserve.

“Lety was very accommodating for a last minute request & when I needed to extend time for his care. As always Niko enjoys spending his day with Lety & his buddy Mason. Im very fortunate to find such a caring person to watch over Niko while I’m away.”
“Nicole was and is very accommodating and genuinely comes off as an animal lover which was very wonderful to find. It’s not easy leaving your fur babies with strangers but she went out of her way to make mine feel welcome and make sure that she didn’t overwhelm him. I fully plan on using her services again and would wholeheartedly recommend her if any of you are interested in a good dog sitter.”

“Pogo loved hanging out with Nicole and his new friend Bowie! Had a wonderful meet and greet beforehand. Immediately we knew that Pogo would be in great hands with Nicole!”
“Tanzina took great care of our little Icarus during his daycare stay! She took great photos, and logged our dogs day perfectly, letting us keep track of our pup. She is great at communicating, and provides an upbeat and professional experience!”
“Heath Bar didn’t make it easy - he barked the entire time at Danielle’s unless she was there with him, I k ew he had separation anxiety but the only time it presented for the last several years was while he was alone in the car. His being alone in the house was not a problem for him. My take away is to be certain someone will be at home with him for most of the time he will be in someone else’s care. Danielle was very responsive and kept me informed the day Heath was in her care.”
“Destiny and her family were wonderful. Molly was so happy and didn’t have many of her anxiety symptoms. She got to play with her son and loved having an 11 year old to play with.it was a wonderful experience for Molly and me.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including different breeds, personalities, ages, energy levels, and individual needs. For dogs, I’ve cared for a variety of breeds and temperaments through walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. While living in Australia, I spent two months walking and house sitting an Alaskan Malamute, which gave me valuable experience handling a large, high-energy dog with patience and confidence. I’ve also cared for dogs belonging to friends and family and enjoy adapting care to each dog’s personality and activity level. Cats have been a major part of my life for over a decade. I have three rescue cats of my own, all former strays, and I regularly foster cats and kittens. Through my own pets and fostering, I’ve cared for cats ranging from bottle babies to seniors, as well as shy, fearful, and formerly feral cats. I’m also comfortable caring for cats with special medical or dietary needs, including administering oral or topical medications, using syringes for feeding or medication, and following specific feeding and care routines. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, and litter box habits because I know that small changes can be important. I also understand how important it is to follow each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions carefully. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, overnight care, medication, playtime, or simply some quiet companionship, I tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their family peace of mind. Pet care is my full-time work, so I’m able to dedicate my days to providing attentive and reliable care for the pets I look after. I structure my schedule around my clients’ routines, whether that means morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, or overnight stays. Because pet care is my primary focus, I have the flexibility to give each pet plenty of individual attention rather than trying to fit visits around another job or busy work schedule. I’m also able to accommodate longer stays and, when my schedule allows, last-minute bookings. I truly enjoy making pet care part of my everyday life, and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to give pets the companionship, exercise, and care they need while their families are away. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved; just as they would if you were home. During house sitting, I stay in your home and closely follow your pet’s usual routine, whether that includes feeding, medication, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. I also keep your home clean, secure, and tidy, watering plants if needed, and making sure everything is just as you left it. For drop-in visits, I provide personalized care and attention, including feeding, fresh water, cleaning litter boxes or backyard potty breaks, administering medications when required, and spending quality time playing or cuddling. Whatever your pet needs to feel relaxed and cared for while you're away. When it comes to dog walking, safety is always my number one priority. I use secure harnesses or leashes, avoid busy or high-traffic areas, stay alert to other animals and potential distractions, and tailor each walk to your dog’s pace and energy level. I never walk dogs off-leash and always ensure they’re hydrated and comfortable before and after each outing. Plus, I send regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“This was Sonjia’s first time walking our dog, Nico, and she did a wonderful job. She took him on two walks on Thursday and another on Friday, and she was punctual, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout. Nico responded really well to her right away. He is an older dog and the heat can tire him out quickly. He came back from each walk tired in a good way, and it was clear she handled him with care and attention. We felt very comfortable trusting her with him and would happily book her again.”
About: I've taken care of my dogs, friends' dogs, and house-sat for dog owners. I’m experienced with dogs of all energy levels and temperaments. I currently work Sunday through Wednesday, and I’m fully available Thursday through Saturday. On those days, I can give your pet my full attention and focus on their care, routine, and needs. On Sunday through Wednesday, I am available before 8 am and after 8 pm. I provide dog sitting and dog walking with a strong focus on safety, trust, and maintaining each dog’s normal routine. I am comfortable with small dogs and large dogs who need a lot of exercise.
“Tatjana was really fantastic with my dog. She took her time to get to know my dog during the meet and greet. She has an understanding of dogs and what they need. Definitely recommend her and will be using her services again. Thank you so much.”
“He watched our dog while we were out of town for four days and he was reliable and communicated with us during each visit. He sent photos of our pup on each visit and also fed and filled his water bowl. We will definitely be booking him again in the future. Thank you, Cedric.”

About: I’ve grown up with (and pet sat) tons of different animals! I can work with dogs, cats, horses, goats/sheep, birds, reptiles, rodents, you name it!

Tons of experience across all fields! I’m a part-time college student with a lot of time on my hands! I think pets deserve all the love and attention I can provide for them, and I’m happy to do just that. Following routines is my jam! Feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, just let me know what you and your furry friends prefer and I’m happy to follow your lead!

I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule that changes weekly. This allows me to adjust my availability to meet the needs of the pets I'm caring for, whether that's walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, or companionship. I make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care and ensure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve. Safety, trust, and communication are my top priorities. During walks and drop-in visits, I follow each pet's routine and care instructions carefully to help them feel comfortable and secure. I always use secure leashing practices, pay close attention to my surroundings, and make sure pets are safe at all times. During drop-in visits, I provide fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I tailor my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being well cared for while you're away. As a lifelong cat and dog owner, I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and am the proud dog mom of my own Husky–Goldendoodle, Nagi. Caring for her has given me experience with daily walks, exercise, feeding, enrichment, grooming, and understanding different dog personalities and needs. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets, and I know how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and consistent routine while owners are away. In my professional career, I manage programs for the State of California, so being dependable, organized, and communicating clearly comes naturally to me. I bring that same level of responsibility and care to every pet I look after. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while giving owners complete peace of mind. I’m available for morning, afternoon, evenings, weekend, and holiday pet care. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting depending on my schedule. I always keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings that allow me to give your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Communication is very important to me, and I’ll send regular photo updates throughout each visit. I know pets feel happiest when they can stay in their own familiar environment. I carefully follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I’ll respect your home as if it were my own and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I provide frequent photo and video updates so you can travel with peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands.
“Shelby feels like family. I asked her to stop by so I could introduce her to Lala and walk her through the routine. She was on time, and she made me feel very comfortable. She was at ease with Lala, who is almost blind, and somewhat stand offish. She is definitely, a keeper!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I started walking. I currently have a beautiful bengal named nova and a tiny chihuahua named lucky. I used to dog sit and help out with my neighbors senior dog as well. I have looked after my friend’s animals for years. All dogs are puppies to me no matter the size or age! I currently am a stay at home mom looking for work to make a little money doing something I love and that means spending time with animals! I am willing to be flexible and extend what hours I am available if discussed ahead of time. I would love to do walks and enjoy your fur babies to help people. I have always been very sure to make sure all gates/fences are closed, all doors are closed, pets are accounted for and making sure meds are dispersed correctly. Your pets are safe with me.
About: I grew up on a farm, animals galore. I was always with the animals, they are incredible companions, as well as teachers. I have been on the birthing end of Dogs, Birds, Fish, Turtles Horses, Cows and sheep. Unfortunately I have been on the departure side as well. My love of animals is only second to my love of Life. When your pets are under my care, rest assured that I will act as an extension of you. I also have a very extensive medical education, no not vetinary, but this is the one time I am glad they can't talk. People give way to much information, where as animal will give you indications as to the possible problems. It has been my experience that diet is usually the culprit, but not always. Thanks from one Animal Lover to their Owners. half of the question is blocked so I am not sure what I am describing? i think its asking how does pet care fit into my schedule. it's part of the job. make sure all exits are secure, and that water and food are available, for cats, I would check their box for clumps. Any other critters would be treated according to there familial traits.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits etc. I believe animals come into our lives to make it better and to give us unconditional love. I have trained all my puppies as well as cared for my parents elderly Bullmastiff. I am very sensitive to the needs of pets and can feel when something is wrong. My schedule is open Monday - Sunday, I am a stay at home fur mom and I can not wait to meet your fur baby. All of my cats and dogs are indoor.

“Achara is the best. Hudson has spent several long weekends with her now and he is more excited to see her and her family at drop off than to see us at pick up! A great sign that he feels right at home there. Achara is always really easy to communicate with, sending photos and updates throughout his stay - in fact most recently she helped us coordinate a last minute pickup as we were heading to the hospital to have a baby! Couldn’t recommend her highly enough as a loving home for our fur baby when we’re away.”
“My dog is aging and becoming physically frailer such that I’ve become much more picky about who I leave him with. Cedric is clearly kind and patient, manages his dogs and home in a safe manner, and sent plenty of pictures to put my mind at ease. Will be sending my old man to spend time with him again.”
“Regina’s did a great job taking care of Kobe. She sent me pictures and videos almost every day, and she even dropped him off at another dog sitter for me when I wasn't able to since I was out of town for two weeks.”
“Doh was great with boarding my dog who occasionally has issues with other dogs. She was able to play in her own separated yard. Doh was also willing to accept her last minute for a holiday. We will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“I really appreciated that I received a lot of photos and updates ,it made me feel more at ease leaving my dog. Grisel did a great job easing my dog's separation anxiety. I probably will recommend her to my friends and relatives needing a dog sitter.”
About: My love for pets from a young age was so great that I willed my intense asthma and allergies to animals away by growing up with my childhood Jack Russell Terrier, Dash. For the canines, I have trained high anxiety reactive apartment dogs. and successfully established trust and security and worked together on their fears. For the felines, I adapt to their level of desired attention and mental fitness and remain as a constant presence - I don’t assume that they’re independent to be left on their own just because they are cats. I look forward to getting to know your companions and providing them a vacation too as you embark on your own~ I currently work full time (more detail in photos) and have a flexible hybrid work schedule to give your animals the attention they need and deserve. My fenced yard is secured and locked, so your dogs can roam freely in the yard (photos provided for more detail of the environment your doggos would be in)
“Tracy was amazing with Holly, and Holly came back home so happy after her visit there. Tracy gave Holly her meds as needed, lots of attention and pets. I would definitely leave Holly with her again.”
“All I can say is Wow! Everything was perfect with Sylvia and her pup Finn! The dogs got along so well and the yard is shaded and green. I got pictures during the stay and my dog, Deschutes was stretched out on the carpet with a face of contentment. Just what a dog owner wants to see!”
“Nancy was amazing. The best dog sitter we’ve ever had! I felt so comfortable leaving Maple with her, as I can tell she truly loves like her own. Maple will be back!!!”
“Greg is an amazing caregiver. He spoils my dog so much. Bring her to him is a treat for her. There is a lot of peace of mind knowing she will have multiple daily walks, a regular routine and loving care. This time my flight was delayed and I couldn’t pick up at the set time. Greg was understanding and super accommodating. He helped make a tough situation so much less stressful. Highly recommend!!”
“Erin and Devin took such amazing care of our dog, Kody, while we were away. Kody is usually pretty anxious, so we’re always a bit nervous leaving him—but he absolutely loved being with them. It was clear from the updates that he felt comfortable, happy, and right at home. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation stress-free, which means everything. We’re so grateful to have found Erin and Devin and wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with Kody again. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much, Serena & Wes! We loved knowing our sweeties were safe and cared for while we were away. We received lots of photos & videos of them playing, eating, and walking, and they came back to us happy and stress-free. Thank you!!🤗”
“Victoria was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter for our cat, Piper! We loved getting her picture updates and every photo showed Piper looking happy and completely comfortable. We truly appreciate the wonderful care she provided, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing Piper was safe and well-cared for while we were on vacation. Highly recommend!”
“Rosalinda was immediately receptive and responsive to my last minute request for dog sitting. I made the request 1hr before I needed to head out of town and she approved it! Relief! I also loved the my dog Tilly was able to play with 3 other dogs while she stayed with Rosalinda. And Rosalinda spent a few minutes with Tilly and I before I left to ensure Tilly and I felt settled in. Thank you, Rosalinda!”
“Jena and her family took the absolute best care of our dog, Juno. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such loving hands. They treated her like one of their own, and it showed. Juno was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We had total peace of mind while we were away, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jena again. Highly recommend!”
“Chelsi is AWESOME!! She took care of my senior chihuahua overnight and was super accommodating! Great communication about pickup and drop off coordination, and provided excellent directions. She gave Nacho his meds, and I could tell she made him feel right at home. She sent frequent updates and pics. Will definitely rebook with her! 10/10 would recommend.”
