“Kirsten was great!! She was kind and communicative by sending me pics/vids with updates and was very reassuring as it was my first time having my boy away from home. I would definitely trust her to watch him again, 10/10”
“Kazue took such great care of my two mini goldendoodles. She sent me updates 3 times a day with multiple pictures. From the meet and greet and drop off it was obvious that she is very kind and loves animals. She gets down on their level and pets them and gives them love an attention. It felt very good to leave them with someone who cared while we went on vacation. She also only takes one pet family at a time which means your pet is getting her full attention and love. She also took them on a daily walk around her beautiful neighborhood. I would definitely bring them back to Kazue for any future boarding/sitting needs. Highly recommend.”
“I loved leaving my dog with Melissa and I could tell my dog loved being there too! She felt right right at home as soon as she got there, and Melissa sent me photos and videos. I will definitely book her again!”
“Achara is the BEST! I had a sitter lined up to watch my pup while I was out of town for my graduation, and the worst happened - 2 minutes before meeting up, the sitter canceled at the last minute. I was leaving for my grad the same day and scrambled to find anyone who was wiling to watch my pup. Achara saved the day! She was flexible, calm, and reassuring. She sent daily pics and updates, and she also works from home, so I didn't have to worry about my pup being cooped up in a crate all day. I HIGHLY recommend booking with Achara. I don't have enough words to express how grateful I am for Achara <3”
“We have used Marya a few time for daycare. This is the first time we've had to leave town for a few days and Mochi has ever done boarding. He came home happy and healthy as usual.”
“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!”
“This was my second time booking with Martha, and she was wonderful once again. She was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up, provided regular updates, and took great care of my dog while I was away. I felt completely at ease and would definitely book with Martha again!”
“We had another fantastic experience leaving our dog, Cooper, in Miya’s care! It’s so reassuring to enjoy our vacation knowing that Cooper is safe and receiving such genuine, attentive care. We don't live that close, but honestly, we’re more than happy to make the drive because Miya is just that good. We’ll definitely continue to book with her!”
“Lemieux had the best time with Erin and her family. He and their dog Melvin became the best of friends. Having him stay the night for multiple days with her dogs gave Lemieux the confidence booster he really needed as a young puppy. He was shy around other dogs but after staying with Erin he is so happy and excited to meet other dogs. At the end of everyday we received an update on how things were going and pictures of Lemieux which really eased my anxiety since this was the first time we were leaving him. I would rebook Erin for our next trip. Thank you so much Erin!”
“Cedric is a dream to work with! He takes such good care of our large dog, Goosey. Cedric is a great communicator and send pictures regularly. We will keep coming back to Cedric anytime we have need.”
“Susan and Irv took great care of Enola. Susan kept us updated and sent pictures to show how much fun Enola was having. This is the second time Enola has stayed with Susan and she definitely feels at home.”
“This was my very first time using the Rover app, and Nicole completely exceeded my expectations! I was super nervous to leave my dog, but Nicole was so professional, warm, and attentive. The daily updates, photos & videos showed my dog was happy, fed, and perfectly cared for. If you want absolute peace of mind while you travel, hire her! 🫱🏼🫲🏽😊 I’ll definitely be bringing Milo back & I’m glad the boys got along so well 🥰!!”
“Mir was an attentive, caring, and communicative sitter. She kept me updated on every step of the way and was really patience with my pup. She worked with the unpredictable and showed flexibility; I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a safe space for your pup.”
“Christany and her family were an absolute delight! She was super accommodating and accepted my request just a few days before my trip and I was so grateful! She did an amazing job with my 2 year old frenchie, Wellington. He must’ve had a blast because he didn’t want to leave! Her children were amazing with him and gave him lots of attention and walks, and Christany did a great job of monitoring the dog/cat interactions to make sure everyone was safe which I greatly appreciated as my dog had never been around cats before. I can’t recommend Christany and her family enough! I seriously felt so at ease leaving my dog with her and received frequent photo and message updates during my trip. 1000/10 recommend!”
“Lety is amazing! This was the first time I left Duke overnight and he did so good! Lety made sure to send updates about Duke throughout the day, and each day. I will definitely be booking again!”
“Erica was amazing with my puppy. She made sure and sent me pics n kept me updated so that I knew Kitana was being well taken care of. She was also very flexible with me updating drop of n pick up and even let me extend her stay for another night. I will be using Erica as my permanent pet sitter.”
“Our sweet Sally loved her time with Kathleen! Kathleen was communicative and sent pictures of a very happy Sally! We have already booked Kathleen for an upcoming family wedding we're traveling to. We're confident it will be fun for Sally to visit Kathleen 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.”
“Esther and Bill were fantastic! They continually provide pictures while I was away. My dog quickly acclimated to them and soon was sleeping in their laps. I will rebook for sure!”
“The best as usual! We forgot our dogs food this time and they went out and got food for us because we didn’t have time to turn around and go back. Our dogs love going here and we never have to worry!”

Cat caregivers near you - Ensley
Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: While I haven’t personally owned a cat, I’ve been around and helped care for cats for years through my dad, friends, and pet sitting. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, check-ins, and giving them attention while also respecting when they want their space. I know every cat has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow whatever makes your cat feel the most comfortable while you’re away. I’ve also helped my friend with her pet-sitting clients, which has given me experience caring for pets outside of my own friends and family.
“An excellent experience with my two cats; Carrington knows how to handle them according to their specific needs and preferences. When I returned, they were in great shape and had been very well cared for. Highly recommended 😊”
“Mooney was fantastic! He was very good about following our requests and instructions for care. He patiently waited for our cats to warm up to him and it was clear from his pictures in the visits they soon became best buds. Additionally, his communication with us was outstanding and above and beyond sending pictures and responding to our questions and requests. HIGHLY recommend Mooney for your pet care he is a very kind gentleman and a clear animal lover.”
“Chelsea was amazing! She took very good care of our cat Mikey. We asked to take care of my cat 3 times so far while we were gone on vacation. Chelsea is very responsible and reliable😊”
About: Ived taken care and loved many dogs growing up I’m very experienced with dogs of any age, family and friends have replied on me to sit for their pets while away on trips At the moment I’m home all day morning and afternoon, once I’m back at work I will be mostly available afternoons and weekends but willing to make schedule changes I live in an apartment with a small fenced patio but will mostly be taking your fur baby out for walks and potty breaks, I currently do not have any other dogs or cats.
“She took amazing care of my sphynx, Noodle. I’m nervous about someone I don’t know watching him but I felt so comfortable and knew Noodle was in good hands. 100% will book again!!”
“Mel is awesome! Very professional, easy to get along with, great communication, reliable and absolutely great with our dogs! Frank (our large male pitbull mix) and Becky (our medium female bulldog) both adored Mel from the first moment they met her. She is very much Frank and Becky approved! Mel's done a great job taking care of our pups, she's a fantastic pet professional, and we highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and truly believe they’re one of the best parts of the world. From dogs and cats to fish and hamsters, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m a family guy with a comfortable home and a safe, secure environment where your pet can feel relaxed and cared for. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels happy, loved, and right at home. Whether your companion needs walks, drop-in visits, sitting, boarding, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I’ll treat your pet like part of my own family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐾
About: From a young age, cats have always held a special place in my heart. Whether it's interactive play or simply a cozy lap for cuddles, I make sure each cat gets the attention they deserve. I also send daily updates with photos and videos if requested, so owners can have a peace of mind, knowing their furry friends are in capable and caring hands.
About: I have about 3 years of cat care experience. My sister currently adopted a sphinx cat and he's just an absolute bundle of love and chaos. I'm enjoying my cat journey so far haha :)
“We hired Holly to house sit Tycho (cat) for two weeks. She was kind enough to put up with all our instructions and sent plenty of updates. Furthermore our kitty is extremely skittish and he warmed up to her very quickly. Will absolutely hire her again.”
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my deep understanding of dog behavior and my genuine passion for creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pup I care for. I don’t just “watch” dogs—I engage with them through structured play, enrichment activities, and tailored routines based on their needs and personalities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m already used to maintaining a structured, nurturing environment, and that translates perfectly to caring for pets. I’m home throughout the day, so I can provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment.
About: I grew up with pets most of my life, and attended dog training classes with my mom starting at a young age. I have had my own pets the last 13 years (dogs, cat and bunny). I have trained and titled one of my dogs in AKC Rally and Waterworks ( something specific to my dogs breed), she is also a grand champion. I would be willing to help train puppies, even though I am not a certified trainer. I can also assist in training to loose leash walk, crate training, etc. Willing to do limited bathing and grooming for an additional fee, to be determined upon request, detailed request needed. I have been grooming my Portuguese water dogs most of my adult life, I have had to maintain a show quality coat. I'm not a professional groomer, but I know my way around clippers and scissors. I was recently laid off, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am available pretty much anytime currently, weekdays and weekends. I treat all animals in my care as my own, with respect and love, whether they need a play buddy or just someone to cuddle, I try to give them what they need
“Nicholas was amazing with our 3 cats and they all loved him! He went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for and was very communicative during our trip. He is very good with animals and a trustworthy sitter. We would love to have him look after our cats again in the future.”
About: I've grown up with all sorts of pets for as long as I can remember. Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish. I have two cats of my own right now (two very spoiled babies). I'm typically free in the evenings Monday through Thursday and completely free on the weekends. But if needed for an emergency I can work from home Monday through Thursday to be there for your pet. I care for pets in the same way that I care for myself, with the upmost care. Dogs get walked at least twice a day, and plenty of love. Cats also get the same, and I have plenty of toys for both cats and dogs.
About: My name is Hannah and I am a lifelong cat lover. I had cat (s) growing up since I was old enough to remember, and I’ve always been smitten by their playful and curious nature. I have a 3 1/2 year-old male gray and white cat of my own that I rescued from an abandoned apartment. We enjoy going on lil walks around my complex and learning new tricks! Well, most pet sitting business is focused primarily on dogs, I feel it’s essential to give cats the same focus. I have had years of experience with all different kinds of cats and have even helped a family friends cat give birth twice.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes for 13 years, and it’s one of the best things in my life. I’ve always felt a deep connection with animals, and I believe they deserve the most love, patience, and kindness. Whether it's a tiny puppy or a big, playful dog, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I truly care about their happiness and well-being, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I promise to treat yours with all the love and attention they deserve as if they were my own German Shepherd, Roxy. I’m currently taking classes at Saint Mary’s College of California and during the week I have lots of free time to care for pets outside of that! I care for pets as if they were my own, I want them to feel as comfortable and safe as possible while receiving everything they need.

“Kathleen was able to modify our two walks and turn it into a day stay so Coco wouldn’t be alone all day. Kathleen is reliable and conscientious. Coco took to her immediately & looks forward to her walks and rides around town (when it’s too hot to do anything else). Feel so fortunate to have someone like Kathleen take care of my Coco as if she were her own.”
“Wonderful experience! My dog was in great hands. The sitter was responsible, attentive, and very caring. They kept me updated with photos and messages, and I could tell my pup felt safe and happy the whole time. Communication was easy and smooth, and it’s clear they truly love animals. I highly recommend them and will definitely book again.”
“Valerie was amazing! We reached out just one day before we needed someone to watch our dog, Choco, and she was incredibly accommodating. She was very flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything so much easier for us. Throughout Choco’s stay, she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the pictures that he was happy, comfortable, and having a great time with her. We’re very grateful for the excellent care she gave Choco and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. We highly recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Miya. We really felt very warm when we met her the first time and when our dog was with her for a day, it was his first time at a daycare. She sent us photos and videos every few hours and our dog seemed to have enjoyed a lot. We would definitely recommend Miya and she will be our go-to sitter for sure. 5 stars. Thank you Miya for taking care of Koja and we are thankful we found you.”
“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!”
“Elizabeth was great with my pup. I get photos and updates each time. We have been there twice and would continue to rebook her without hesitation. Thanks Elizabeth”
“Emily was great with Cosmo. She was understandable and accommodating to him. Great communication, which made me comfortable leaving Cosmo with her. Highly recommended. Would definitely book with her again in the future”

“They took care of my pup like she was their own. Drop off was a breeze and pick up went flawlessly. They provided periodic updated of my dogd temperment and attitude which helped me feel at ease.”
About: I have always been an animal lover and understand that pets are part of the family. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m a proud dog owner of Aslan, a Chihuahua-Poodle mix, and I know how important it is to provide patience, love, attention, and a safe environment. I’m currently open from Mon- Friday from 10am- 7pm. Whatever your dogs needs I’m there for it. I will be available most of days except the weekends in the morning. I have a fenced yard and I do allow dogs to go on the furniture and bed. I also have extra leashes and blankets if needed.
“So awesome. Kirsten was available last minute as we were passing through woodland attending a birthday party. Needed a place for our pup to hang out for half the day and Kirsten made herself available. Even coming back a little early from her personal plans to make it all work for us. Can’t recommend her enough! Thank you!”
“Kazue did a great job with our pup! She kept us updated throughout the day with photos and status updates. We will definitely use her service again. Thank you for the worry free time and all the love you gave Koda.”

I can bathe, walk, and have my full time on your pet while you do what you have to!🤗 I’m available any time any day! I will make sure to send lots of updates and pictures:) I am available any day any time!

I can take them on the walks they need and even bathing if they need, of course your details will come first! I’ll have my attention on your pet the full day and I really love animals and would like to use my time to care for them!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was around 10 years old, starting with my own family dogs and being responsible for feeding them, letting them out, playing with them, and making sure they were taken care of while I was home. As I got older, I started pet sitting for friends and family and eventually for people I didn’t know personally as well. I’ve also helped my friend Jade with her pet-sitting clients and have watched pets for a previous manager. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, overnight care, and following each pet’s individual routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I’ll always treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. I typically work morning shifts and am usually done with work by 12pm at the latest, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the afternoon and evening for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and overnight care. My schedule can vary week to week, but I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you leave for me, including feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, and any household rules. I want your pet to feel as safe and comfortable as possible while you’re away, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love.
About: Hi! I'm Susi, and my goal is to make your time away as stress free as possible, for both you and your pets. My experience comes from being a lifelong dog owner and understanding firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I know that every dog has their own routine, comfort level, and quirks that make them who they are. That’s why I focus on providing personalized care for one family at a time, creating a calm and comfortable environment where your pet can feel safe and loved. I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, so I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, giving you peace of mind while you're away. I'll follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and bedtime routines, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. When your pet stays with me, they'll receive the same love, patience, and care I'd want for my own family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I’ve structured my schedule so every pet in my care receives consistent attention, companionship, and supervision. I’m home everyday of the week and have plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I attend school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am-12pm and 6pm-9pm, but someone is always home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. Because I only care for one family’s pets at a time, I’m able to give them focused, personalized care instead of dividing my attention between multiple bookings. My goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress free as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home. In my home, I provide a calm, comfortable environment where pets can settle in and feel like part of the family. I have a large, fully fenced yard for supervised potty breaks, playtime, and outdoor enrichment, along with a quiet dog park just a few blocks away that is usually empty. I only use the park when it is appropriate for the individual dog and with the owner’s permission. I also have a dog (Jayda) of my own who is friendly, calm, and respectful of other dogs’ boundaries. I always prioritize safe introductions and closely monitor interactions so every pet feels comfortable. If a visiting dog is not comfortable around other dogs, my home has separate rooms and spaces where pets can be safely kept apart whenever necessary. Their comfort and safety always come first. Because I care for one family at a time, I can give each pet personalized attention and follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, playtime, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. For care in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the home itself. During drop-ins or house sitting, I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, litter box or yard cleanup, medication when needed, playtime, affection, and any other care instructions provided. For walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and letting each dog move at a pace that suits their age, energy level, and comfort. No matter the service, I send regular photo and message updates so owners can feel confident knowing their pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving attentive care.
“We’ve just decided to make a standing appointment for dog walks w/ Wes. Our pup now knows when we tell him Wes is coming and he gets sooo excited!! THANK YOU, Wes, for being such an awesome buddy for our baby!”
“Faith walked my dog for a week when I was busy with work and she was great. She’s one of those people who dogs just love. She was always on time and went the extra mile to make sure the water bowl was full before leaving. 10/10 would recommend.”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, and I truly believe they’re one of the best parts of the world. I was a dog owner for over 10 years, and after losing my sweet girl to cancer, I really missed having furry friends around. That experience reminded me just how much joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. From dogs and cats to fish and hamsters, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m a family guy with a comfortable home and a safe, secure environment where your pet can feel relaxed, loved, and right at home. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member with someone else. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. Whether your companion needs walks, drop-in visits, sitting, boarding, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. I’ll treat your pet like part of my own family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐾❤️ I work part-time in the evenings and am available during the day to spend time with and care for your pets. While I’m at work, my wife and daughter are home and will be there to care for them. Your pets will always have someone at home with them, so they won’t be left alone. You can have peace of mind knowing your pets will receive care, attention, and companionship around the clock. I have a good-sized, secure backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time, as well as a public walking path right behind my house for those who enjoy stretching their legs and getting some exercise. I love taking dogs for walks—it’s a great way for them to get fresh air, exercise, and enrichment while keeping them happy and comfortable. I always make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated like part of the family while they’re in my home.
About: I’ve taken care of six dogs before coming onto Rover. I have experience walking dogs, feeding them, and taking care of dogs of different sizes. I work full-time as a closer at my current job, so I have free-time to be able to take care of animals anytime before 2pm most days. I can do 30 minute visits or longer — whatever you need for your fur baby. I graduated from UC Davis this year, so I’m trying to get hired in the environmental sector to start my career and begin a more typical work schedule. I have an apartment in Woodland where I spend time with my indoor cats. One of my cats is very friendly with people and other cats, but my other cat takes a while to get adjusted to people and other animals, so I only do visits at other people’s places. I treat client’s homes with care, and ensure I do not make any messes or overstep any boundaries.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors. I also have 2 dogs of my own, one big and one small dog. I’m currently taking classes at Sac State. I have lots of free time so I will be able to give your pets lots of attention. I’m available Monday-Sunday from 8am-6pm I currently do not offer services at my house. I have 2 dogs of my own so I understand how important it is to make sure gates and doors are closed.
About: I have lived with pets all my life and have over 6 years of professional experience in all kinds of animals (including but not limited to) birds, reptiles, and amphibians. I have 1 green cheek conure, 1 desert tortoise, 2 cats, and 1 dog myself. I can medicate your animals, but also help with training, exercise, grooming, and other enriching or basic husbandry care. I’ve recently moved to Woodland to help my sister with her kids, which leaves me some time for myself but not enough for a full time job. That’s where pet sitting comes in for me. Animal care is an important thing to me, and I love to know I’m helping your pet live their best life. Most pets will be comfortable in their own home so I can make house trips at least twice a day, perhaps more depending on where you are located respective to me. If you’d like me to take your little one into my own home, we can talk about it and go from there :)

I treat all animals in my care as my own, with respect and love, whether they need a play buddy or just someone to cuddle, I try to give them what they need
About: I am a regular volunteer at the YOLO animal shelter and Happy Tails Cat Sanctuary. At home I take care of all of my exotic pets, I own a parakeet, cockatiel, bearded dragon, rat, and two fish tanks. I love my at home zoo and taking care of everybody, I'd love to share that joy with YOU! I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule to accommodate all YOUR pet's needs! Weekdays are very flexible where-as weekends need a couple days notice. I follow directions diligently and confidently. With all of my pet experiences your pet is sure to feel comfortable, safe and happy in my care.
About: I have always had a passion for animals and it seems they’ve always been drawn to me! Growing up my mom owned a small pet sitting business. We took care of dogs, cats, birds, even an entire farm. Over the years of helping my mom and pet sitting on my own, I’ve gained plenty of knowledge and patience for all furry friends! I have my own small business as a licensed esthetician, so whenever I don’t have clients scheduled, I am totally free to play with your pets! I have a 1 bedroom apartment with a small yard that has public access. I live with my 3.5 year old male cat, but he is very tolerant of dogs! Pet friendly space for your furring friends to visit!

About: After a few years focused on other animal care work, I’m happy to be actively pet sitting again. I recently moved back to Lincoln, and I will begin offering pet care services again beginning August 2026. In addition to years of pet sitting and dog walking, I have worked professionally in many animal care settings, including veterinary, sanctuary, boarding, and rescue for the last seven years. These settings have taught me the importance of prioritizing safety, observation, consistency, and following detailed care protocols accurately. I have years of experience with fearful, anxious, and reactive dogs and understand that trust cannot be rushed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, use their preferred treats or familiar cues, avoid known triggers, and give them the space or extra reassurance they need to feel comfortable. I also have a special interest in exotic and multi species pet care. I personally have two cats and a leopard gecko and have hands on experience and good foundational husbandry knowledge with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, and small animals. I’m open to caring for many species, and willing to learn any of their specific routine and husbandry requirements beforehand. One of my biggest priorities is following instructions carefully and accurately. I know small details can make a big difference, especially with medications, feeding routines, behavioral needs, enclosure care, or pets with specific safety precautions. I also understand how stressful it can be to leave your animals in someone else’s care. I provide regular photo updates and clear communication so you know how your pets are doing while you’re away. I work full time in animal care on Tuesdays and Thursdays through Saturdays. On those days, I’m available after work for walks, drop in visits, and overnight stays. I have more flexibility on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays and can often accommodate daytime care on those days as well. I plan my Rover bookings carefully so I can give each pet the time and attention they need. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine ahead of time and make sure their care schedule is something I can reliably accommodate. For overnight stays, I do my best to keep feeding, medications, walks, and bedtime routines as close to normal as possible. Safety is always my first priority. Before opening doors or gates, I make sure pets are safely secured, and I always double-check that collars, harnesses, leashes, and other gear fit properly before leaving the home. I follow household and care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, walking precautions, behavioral triggers, enclosure care, and any special routines your pet may have. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, bathroom habits, or anything else that may be important to communicate to you. I currently only provide care in my clients’ homes, which also allows pets to stay in the environment and routine they already know.

“Kirsten was great!! She was kind and communicative by sending me pics/vids with updates and was very reassuring as it was my first time having my boy away from home. I would definitely trust her to watch him again, 10/10”
“Achara is the BEST! I had a sitter lined up to watch my pup while I was out of town for my graduation, and the worst happened - 2 minutes before meeting up, the sitter canceled at the last minute. I was leaving for my grad the same day and scrambled to find anyone who was wiling to watch my pup. Achara saved the day! She was flexible, calm, and reassuring. She sent daily pics and updates, and she also works from home, so I didn't have to worry about my pup being cooped up in a crate all day. I HIGHLY recommend booking with Achara. I don't have enough words to express how grateful I am for Achara <3”
“We have used Marya a few time for daycare. This is the first time we've had to leave town for a few days and Mochi has ever done boarding. He came home happy and healthy as usual.”
“Cedric is a dream to work with! He takes such good care of our large dog, Goosey. Cedric is a great communicator and send pictures regularly. We will keep coming back to Cedric anytime we have need.”
“This was my very first time using the Rover app, and Nicole completely exceeded my expectations! I was super nervous to leave my dog, but Nicole was so professional, warm, and attentive. The daily updates, photos & videos showed my dog was happy, fed, and perfectly cared for. If you want absolute peace of mind while you travel, hire her! 🫱🏼🫲🏽😊 I’ll definitely be bringing Milo back & I’m glad the boys got along so well 🥰!!”
“Mir was an attentive, caring, and communicative sitter. She kept me updated on every step of the way and was really patience with my pup. She worked with the unpredictable and showed flexibility; I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a safe space for your pup.”
“Our sweet Sally loved her time with Kathleen! Kathleen was communicative and sent pictures of a very happy Sally! We have already booked Kathleen for an upcoming family wedding we're traveling to. We're confident it will be fun for Sally to visit Kathleen again!”
“The best as usual! We forgot our dogs food this time and they went out and got food for us because we didn’t have time to turn around and go back. Our dogs love going here and we never have to worry!”
“Annie was great with my nervous dog. Annie responded quickly to my messages as we prepared for my dog's stay with her, and sent me pictures while my dog was in her care.”
“My regular sitter had to back out at the last minute and I was stressing out, but I'm very grateful to Marc and Rachael for accepting my 3 fur kids at the last minute. They sent me updates and pictures everyday, and I could tell that my dogs were very well cared for. Their house was a great environment for my doggies, and they did a great job with dogsitting them for a whole week. Highly recommended!”
“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.”
“Thanks for the updates and photos! My dog enjoyed the yard time, and the sitter was very flexible with pick-up and drop-off. Would recommend for attentive care.”
“Beyond fantastic! Kasandra kept our cocker while we were away for 2 weeks. Not only was he very well cared for—he was actually better than when we left him! He is way calmer and has better manners than he had at drop off. Kasandra gave me some pointers that will help me a lot with him at home. This gal is a dog whisperer!! I could not be more grateful. Thank you Kasandra!”
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)
“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.”
“Rachel was fantastic! She was great with my senior dog, following his beat and matching his pace. It was clear from her updates that she knew exactly what she was doing with my particular pup. Thank you for excellent communication and care for Takur’s stay!”
“Sherri is fantastic. She is always very friendly to us and our pups. She takes care of our fur babies very well every time and they always love to see her! I definitely recommend her as your pet sitter as she will treat them as her own and treat them with loveand respect 🙂.”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, and I truly believe they’re one of the best parts of the world. I was a dog owner for over 10 years, and after losing my sweet girl to cancer, I really missed having furry friends around. That experience reminded me just how much joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. From dogs and cats to fish and hamsters, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m a family guy with a comfortable home and a safe, secure environment where your pet can feel relaxed, loved, and right at home. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member with someone else. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. Whether your companion needs walks, drop-in visits, sitting, boarding, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. I’ll treat your pet like part of my own family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐾❤️ I work part-time in the evenings and am available during the day to spend time with and care for your pets. While I’m at work, my wife and daughter are home and will be there to care for them. Your pets will always have someone at home with them, so they won’t be left alone. You can have peace of mind knowing your pets will receive care, attention, and companionship around the clock. I have a good-sized, secure backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time, as well as a public walking path right behind my house for those who enjoy stretching their legs and getting some exercise. I love taking dogs for walks—it’s a great way for them to get fresh air, exercise, and enrichment while keeping them happy and comfortable. I always make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated like part of the family while they’re in my home.
