“This was my first time leaving my puppy in boarding, and Malissa was absolutely amazing him! She provided frequent updates and videos, giving me so much peace of mind. She was incredibly responsive whenever I had questions. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and my dog was so happy and well cared for. I would 100% use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter! ❤️”
“John was very polite upon meeting and seemed to do a fantastic job at taking care of my dog Henny. Very responsive and sent me photos daily. Would HIGHLY recommend and will definitely rebook again. Thank you John!”

“May was amazing. She sent me photos and updates while I was out of town for the weekend. We ended up having to stay an extra day and she was so accommodating. This is the first time I left my fur baby w/ someone I didn’t know and she put me at ease. Definitely reccomend!”

Alicia and Christian were great at communicating gizmo’s status and sending plenty of photos. I truly felt like they treated him as if he were theirs and for that I am extremely grateful.”

About: I have taken care of cats since I was about 10 years old. I had two cats at the time and I was in charge of feeding and changing their litter at least twice a day. Once I lived on my own I got my own cat, Felix, then a few years later another cat, Grizwold. Having a nice clean area for the cats has always been a priority for me. I look forward to do the same for your cat(s).
“Sara is absolutely wonderful with our new 4 month old puppy! She is great at responding back to messages, sends update pictures, and is just super sweet with our new family member. We will be continuing to use our services as she checks in on our puppy mon-fri 😊!!”
About: My first experience with cats was an old TNR. She was a magnificent, orange girl who we named Momo, who hopped into my car one night and blossomed as she spent the rest of her golden years with us. No one could have asked for a more gentle and caring protector. With her, I learned about providing care for elderly pets and the challenges of dealing with terminal illness as she finally crossed the Rainbow Bridge. After Momo, my wife and I have dedicated ourselves to taking care of 4 rescues who were orphaned kittens with a challenging start at life. Now, they are four healthy adults (one of whom is slightly rotund for her size). From all these experiences, I've become proficient at kitten-care as well as elderly cat-care. I am comfortable with administering medications, both oral and topical, including supplements.
“Shelby was awesome! She took such great care of my cats I really appreciated how flexible she was when I had a last-minute change and handled everything with ease and made the whole process stress-free.”
“Anthony is a very confident pet setter my cat loved him and he was well taken care of . Anthony was sending me pics of my cat on a daily bases . Which made me very content. I would definitely recommend him and use him again.”
About: I’ve always had a big heart for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and comfort level. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, care, and attention I’d want for my own, while making sure you feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule! My husband and I operate our own dog poop scooping business, which allows me to have plenty of flexibility throughout the week. Outside of that, my schedule is generally open, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and plenty of quality time with your pets. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m attentive, patient, and will carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, or special needs. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and secure in my care. I’ll always be mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾
About: Jonathan and I care for cats as a team, and I bring professional feline experience ranging from working with large cats as a zookeeper to caring for domestic cats at an animal shelter. I’ve worked with kittens, adults, seniors, social cats, fearful and undersocialized cats, and cats with a wide range of temperaments, medical needs, and special-care routines. That experience taught me how to read feline body language, notice subtle changes, and allow each cat to interact on their own terms. We will never pull a nervous cat out of hiding or force affection. Social cats can enjoy playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention, while shy cats will receive patient, quiet care and the space they need to feel safe. We’ll carefully follow feeding and medication instructions, refresh water, clean litter boxes, and pay attention to changes in appetite, behavior, or bathroom habits. We’re also extremely careful around exterior doors. After every visit, you’ll receive photos and an honest update so you know exactly how your cat is doing.
About: Living on a farm has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for animals with different personalities, temperaments, and comfort levels. I understand that cats especially need patience, consistency, and the freedom to build trust on their own terms. I never force interaction and pay close attention to body language and behavioral cues so I can adjust my approach to what makes your cat feel most comfortable. My background in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has also given me a strong understanding of behavior, positive reinforcement, routines, and how environment can influence an animal’s comfort and responses. I bring that knowledge into the way I care for pets while always respecting the routines and boundaries established by their owners. I’m happy to provide feeding and fresh water, litter box care, playtime, medications when needed, and plenty of affection for cats who want it. I also know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone new, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your cat is safe, comfortable, and receiving lots of attention. Because I live on a property with other animals, safety and appropriate separation are extremely important to me. Pets are never expected to interact with unfamiliar animals, and I take precautions based on each pet’s individual needs and comfort level.
“Thank you for taking care of Zoey! She is a tough cat but you were able to deal and get through. Lucas showed on time and followed instructions thoroughly. Was a easy process and he is very trusting. Was a pleasure meeting you Lucas!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since i was 12 years old. Families, friends and even my own. I walk, feed, as well over night. I am working part-time currently, i majority of the time am free in the afternoon’s. I have mainly week days off, sometimes on the weekends. When sitting for your dogs at your house, i will take them outside as frequently as I can. Go outside play fetch, also take walks.
About: I’ve been around cats since I was 14 years old. Also worked with a lot of felines of various temperaments. I am a veterinary technician as well , so I am able to administer any medications needed. I have four cats of my own, 3 of which I foster failed when they were kittens. My fourth girl was on the euthanasia list. I understand them, and show respect until they are ready to befriend me.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have enjoyed caring for pets my whole life. I had my sweet girl Stella, a pug, for 13 years. I crate, potty, and recall trained her as a puppy, fed her a balanced diet of vitamins and homemade food throughout her life, and gave her loving, gentle care in her senior hospice years. I’ve also cared for my mom’s boxer for a year and even taught her, her favorite trick… tossing a treat up with her nose and catching it! I’ve looked after my friends’ pets as well, including cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, senior dogs, birds (parrot), a chameleon, and special mentioned of a disabled Frenchie who needed a little extra help to go potty. I make friends with any neighborhood kitties when they let me. Usually just takes a bit of chicken or turkey. Lol I work from home and also work a couple part time jobs so I am home often. When I do leave, it its only for about 4 hours or so. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand that giving their family peace of mind makes leaving them just a little bit easier.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for years and have experience with cats of all ages, personalities, and needs, from confident cuddle bugs to shy cats who need extra patience to warm up. I’ve fostered sick kittens through SEMO Pets humane society in my college town of Cape Girardeau, Missouri (south of St. Louis). which is a rural town where feral cats are having kittens left and right. I have taken in many kittens and helped nurse them back to health, including providing medications, eye care, feeding, cleaning, and lots of hands-on attention. I’m comfortable administering medications according to instructions and keeping up with feeding, water, litter boxes, and individual routines. I also have experience caring for multiple cats at once, so I understand how important clean litter boxes, enrichment, playtime, and observing each cat’s behavior can be. I’m a bit of a clean freak myself, so I’ll always clean up after your cats and keep their space fresh. Most importantly, I don’t expect every cat to immediately love me. I’m happy to sit on the floor, give them space, play with them, or simply hang out nearby until they decide I’m trustworthy. 🐈⬛
About: Hi, I’m Rob– Your Pet’s Second Favorite Human! 🐾 With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs I treat every pet like they’re my own.

I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on creating a safe, happy, and stress-free experience—for both you and your pet.

Both are extremely friendly and love any opportunity to meet new friends. You can be assured that your pup will be safe and have plenty of social interaction as well!

“Shannon to the rescue and always takes good care of Sandy!! Would highly recommend Shannon for all your pet sitting needs. She’s caring and responds right away to any questions you may have.”
“My dog had an amazing day playing with them and their dogs. Great communication, friendly, available last minute. Thank you. I would recommend and absolutely use them again.”
“Nazgul and her family were exceptionally warm and attentive with Midnight. From the moment we arrived, I could tell she would settle in quickly and feel at home. Their updates and photos were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear she was genuinely cared for. I highly recommend Nazgul and her family to anyone seeking a safe, loving environment for their pet.”
“As someone who struggles with separation anxiety from my babies, Malissa is absolutely the best! She sent so many pictures, videos, and updates throughout the day, which gave me such peace of mind. Your dogs will truly be in great hands with her! They’re gonna looooove their auntie.”
“Our dog Belle stayed with Robert for an afternoon while my wife and I were in the area looking at homes. His reviews were what drew us to contact him and it didn’t disappoint. Robert has plenty of space for play and his dog was so nice and calm when introduced to ours. Will book again when in the area!”
“Melissa was a life saver in a pinch and was able to sit Roscoe on short notice. She was professional and a clear communicator. She has experience and clear practices for keeping dogs safe and cared for in her home.”
About: Not a professional trainer but i know how to potty train and teach basic tricks. High energy dogs are so much fun! Our family enjoys most mornings and afternoons playing in our backyard with our dog friends. Dogs I watch are never left alone for more than 2 hours a day. Sometimes I need to run some errands and in summer we go to pool for an hour here and there. Otherwise homebodies! Large fenced yard but disclaimer, there is a trampoline and kids have little Jeeps they ride around so dogs that don’t like noisy active kids wouldn’t enjoy their time with us.
“Sara is one of the best sitters we have ever used. She kept us informed about Lily and sent lots of pictures. She agreed to watch Lily on very short notice. We feel very lucky we found her. Would highly recommend and will use again as needed. Thanks Sara”
“Robert was such a great sitter! Super easy to communicate with and kept me updated with pictures, which made me feel really comfortable since we don’t usually use a sitter. He made the whole experience easy for both me and my dog, and drop off/pick up was super smooth. I’d definitely book with him again and highly recommend him!”
“Nicole is absolutely amazing! She was so kind, understanding and accommodating. She provided plenty of photo and video updates throughout the day and I loved seeing how happy my baby was while I was away. Our puppy Stella had an absolute blast playing with Nicole’s doggo Sunshine each day during her stay! She finally made a new friend who can rival her energy. Each morning she was so excited for drop-off with her new friends and each evening she came home happy and thoroughly worn out, which is really saying something for our little furry ball of energy! Stella already can’t wait for her next visit with Nicole and Sunshine. Nicole is a quality, caring sitter who I cannot recommend enough!”
“May was fantastic with our dog, Jasper. She really took time to understand some of his quirks and needs to make sure he was safe and comfortable. Great communication throughout, with photos and videos of his stay. He really enjoyed his time!”
“We had such a great experience with Bianca! She was incredibly attentive to all of our questions and concerns, especially since it was our first time leaving Bolo. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Bolo was happy and comfortable with her right away, and it was clear he was very well taken care of. We’ll definitely be booking with her again—highly recommend!”
“Rachelle was a great sitter! Made sure my little one was well looked after for, had the love and attention he needed, and enjoyed his stay all day. Would definitely recommend her to friends and family and most definitely would book with her again!”
“Opie had a great experience on the farm. So many new smells and interactions that a city dog rarely gets the opportunity to enjoy. Highly recommend this if your dog is pretty chill and copes well with new environments.”
“Morgan and Jack came through in a pinch with just a few minutes notice. I am beyond happy with their service. Lex loves going and Lex hardly barks, but when he sees this family he is so excited he can't stop barking/talking and wagging his tail. I love that I found this family. Lex loves this family.”
About: I am currently home full-time while homeschooling my youngest child who is now in his teens. We ADORE all animals! Our schedule is extremely flexible, which allows us to work with whatever schedule needs you have. I have a huge heart and could not live without animals in my life. I am very active and look forward to the opportunity to walk, play and love on your pets! For the past 40+ years I have owned, fostered and cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, horses and more. I recently lost my Great Dane after a decade of getting to love him. He had DCM since he was a puppy so I have extensive knowledge of caring for that, giant breed needs and know how to track and administer many medications. Being a stay at home mom I've often thought about walking and caring for other animals while they're humans are away at work or vacay! I recently discovered Rover and know this is a perfect fit for me! I am very patient and have experience with all areas of pet care from walking to medication dosing and everything in between! I am currently home full-time while homeschooling my youngest child who is now in his teens. Our schedule is extremely flexible, which allows us to work with whatever schedule needs you have. I have a very large, completely fenced in yard with a locked gate. We are taking a break from pet ownership and would love to open our home to care for your animals. I have experience caring for dogs and other household pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, long or shorter walks, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to their usual routine, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements to ensure your pet feels happy and secure.
About: Your pet will be treated like my own ! I have 10+ years of experience caring for pets and have a genuine love for all animals. In addition to dogs and cats I have also cared for small mammals, reptiles, birds and fish. I recently lost my beloved dog after 18 years so look forward to the opportunity to care for your pet with the same love and care I gave my own. I know it can be stressful to trust someone else to care for your animals and to come into to your home, so I want to make you feel as comfortable as possible by understanding yours and your pet's needs. I also will always send consistent updates to my clients as well as pictures of their pets. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to accommodate most times and days needed. I do not have a set schedule aside from sometimes picking up my son from school so I can easily meet the needs of your pet. I believe in treating a client's home with the utmost respect and care. You will always come home to a clean house and happy pets. I am more than happy to water plants, assist with any home care needs, organization, etc.
“I needed day care for my dog while I was at work for long hours. Yuma fit right in. He was well taken care of and got lots of play time. Ryan even sent me pictures through out the day and updated me on how he’s doing, which comforted me to know my doggy was safe. Plus, when I picked him up after work, we got home and he was exhausted and took a nap. Huge bonus!!! :)”

About: We know it can be nerve-racking to trust someone new with your pet. Jonathan and I care for pets together. Jonathan brings a calm presence, a second set of eyes, and dependable backup, while I bring more than 10 years of hands on professional animal care experience from shelters, dog daycare and boarding, zoos, and other animal care settings. I've worked with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs, from puppies, kittens and seniors to pets needing medication or a little extra patience. My experience taught me how to read animal body language, notice subtle changes, handle pets safely, and follow detailed care instructions while keeping their normal routine as familiar as possible. We typically attend Meet & Greets and complete visits together, so your pet has a chance to get comfortable with both of us and you know exactly who will be caring for them. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, meals, medication, enrichment, or simply some company, we'll follow your preferences and get to know what makes them happiest. You'll get plenty of photos and a real update after every visit so you never have to wonder how they're doing. Our schedule is flexible, and we plan our bookings carefully, keep our Rover calendar current, and make sure we have enough time to give each pet our full attention. Unless we've agreed on a different arrangement with you beforehand, we typically complete our bookings together, which gives your pet two attentive caregivers and provides extra attention and safety during walks and visits. We also like to attend Meet & Greets together so you and your pet can get comfortable with both of us before the first visit. Before the first visit, we like to learn your pet’s routine, equipment, boundaries, preferences, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and safe. Long instructions and little quirks are always welcome — you know your pet best. We double check doors, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes, and make sure your home is secure before we leave. On walks, we stay aware of our surroundings, pay attention to your dog’s body language, and give unfamiliar people or animals plenty of space when needed. We never allow off leash time or interactions with other pets or people unless you’ve specifically approved it. We also understand that not every pet wants immediate attention from someone new. Shy or cautious pets are given the space and time they need to warm up at their own pace. Our goal is simple: follow your preferences, respect your pet’s comfort, and care for them as safely and thoughtfully as we would want someone to care for our own.
“I was surprised by how much I like Joshua as a dog sitter. I’ve been using Rover for 3 years, and have liked all my sitters, but Josh is the best. I have 2 dogs that I spoil, so they can be a little… sensitive? I arranged a ‘meet & greet’ with Josh, and the dogs loved him. Josh is really caring and professional, and asked all the right questions about keeping them happy while I’m away. His head and heart are really in this. It’s great having a sitter who I trust, who’s really reliable. ?”
“Krysta has been dependable, reliable, and great with our two high energy dogs. She goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs are taken care of and get the proper attention they deserve. I highly recommend Krysta.”
“Anthony jumped into action when we needed a last minute dog walker when going out of town. He was very communicative and clearly enjoyed the time with our pup. Looking forward to booking him again and knowing Finley is in good hands!”
About: I’ve always had a big heart for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and comfort level. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, care, and attention I’d want for my own, while making sure you feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule! My husband and I operate our own dog poop scooping business, which allows me to have plenty of flexibility throughout the week.

About: What sets me apart from other care givers is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I know that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I cared for my own female hound mix from the time she was just six weeks old until she passed at 16 years old. That experience taught me how to care for a dog through every stage of life - from energetic puppy years to the special patience and gentle attention senior dogs need. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules, administering care as needed, going on walks that match a dog's energy level, and making sure pets get plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. I'm dependable, communicative, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and responsible hands. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I've built my schedule to be as flexible as possible. I have availability throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and I'm happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits whenever I can. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I'll do my best to work around your schedule. I also keep my calendar updated so you can book with confidence, and I'll communicate promptly if you have any questions or special requests. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care that fits seamlessly into both your routine and your pet's. I currently provide pet care in my clients' homes, where I focus on keeping your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other special care your pet requires. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe while you're away, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and personality. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, play sessions, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I'll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keep everything clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the patience and genuine care I have for every animal I meet. I’m gentle with pets of all ages, personalities, and abilities, and I’m never afraid to get down on the floor and take the time to earn their trust, especially with shy, nervous, senior, or special-needs pets. I’ve rescued and cared for animals in some pretty challenging situations, including dogs on the streets experiencing severe heat stroke and emergencies during Southeast Missouri’s extreme weather. I’ve also fostered kittens who were sick and needed extra care, patience, and nurturing before they were healthy enough to be adopted. I’ve always had a dog since the day I was born. I started raising my own dogs since I was about 9 years old, and I’ve been involved in house training, crate training, maintaining daily routines, and administering medications according to their prescribed instructions and labels. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure pets stay on their normal schedules while their owners are away. I’m also a clean freak, and I believe taking care of your home is part of taking care of your pets. I’ve personally experienced coming home to dirty litter boxes, pet vomit, stains, and messes that weren’t cleaned up after previous sitters. That’s something I never want a pet owner to experience. If your pet makes a mess, I clean it up. I’ll keep litter boxes maintained, clean up accidents, vomit, tracked-in dirt, and other everyday pet messes, and leave your home the way I found it, or better. To me, pet sitting isn’t just about making sure a pet is fed and let outside. It’s about making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and understood while their person is away. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routines, quirks, and what makes them feel most at home. Animals deserve the world in the short time we get with them, and I want to make sure I give them that. I recently relocated back home to Temecula from my college town in Missouri and currently have a very flexible schedule while I look for a part-time job. I’m a stay-at-home fiancé and pet mom to two dogs and two cats, so I’m already home caring for pets every day! My pets are all spayed/neutered, up to date on their vaccines, and social. I’m currently available throughout the day, with my only regular commitment being about two hours at the gym. This gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets and work around their routines. My dogs wake me up at 6am on the dot to go potty and eat breakfast, and at 5pm they are ready for dinner. I value my pets’ routines because without them, I wouldn’t have a routine myself I have a fully fenced backyard where my inside dogs are able to safely go outside throughout the day. I pay close attention to their behavior and cues-if they’re telling me they need to go out, I let them lead me to the backyard rather than making them wait. I have a 35-lb female Terrier/Lab mix and an 80-lb female Silver Lab. Both spayed and up-to-date on their shots. My Silver Lab is a gentle giant who was especially popular with the “littles” at doggy daycare, often spending time with the 10–25 lb dogs. She was also raised around my grandma’s Yorkies, so she’s very comfortable around smaller dogs. Your pet will always be treated like the VIP! I’ll make sure your pet gets priority during playtime and attention, even if that means taking the ball away from my own dog so your pup gets a turn!🎾
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. I also live on a farm where I care for a variety of animals, which has given me hands-on experience understanding different personalities, temperaments, behaviors, and individual care needs. I know that no two animals are the same, and I take the time to understand what makes each one feel safe and comfortable. In addition to my hands-on animal experience, I have a background in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and knowledge of behavioral principles that I apply when working with dogs, including positive reinforcement, consistency, recognizing behavioral cues, and encouraging appropriate behaviors. I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels, as well as puppies and dogs who may need additional patience, structure, or reassurance. I understand how important it is to completely trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your pet loves walks and playtime or prefers cuddles and a quiet companion, I’ll provide care based on their individual personality and routine—not a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m also happy to reinforce training routines you already use at home and carefully follow instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and daily care. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away, and I’ll keep you connected with regular updates and photos for extra peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I do my best to accommodate their normal feeding, walking, potty, playtime, and bedtime schedules. I’m available for both weekday and weekend care and will communicate clearly with you regarding scheduling and your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions before their stay. I provide a clean, comfortable and supervised environment with plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and downtime. I never assume two pets have the same needs and will always follow the care instructions you provide. I also believe communication builds trust, so you can expect regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with several pets, primarily Golden Retrievers, and had the privilege of helping raise two litters of puppies. Those early experiences taught me the value of patience, consistency, and creating a loving environment where dogs can flourish. When I was sixteen, our family dog welcomed a litter of eleven puppies, and I was actively involved throughout her pregnancy, the delivery, and the puppies’ early development. One of those puppies became my soul dog, deepening my appreciation for the extraordinary bond between dogs and their families. Over the years, I’ve gained knowledge with caring for puppies, adult dogs, seniors, and pets recovering from surgery. Above all, I make it a priority to help every pet feel protected, nurtured and content while maintaining the routine they’re accustomed to. Whether we’re exploring a neighborhood trail, playing with their favorite toys, practicing positive reinforcement with owner-approved treats, or simply enjoying quiet cuddle time, I strive to make every pet feel like they’re spending time with a trusted friend—not just a sitter. Building trust is one of the most rewarding parts of pet sitting. Every dog deserves patience, kindness, and individualized attention, and I take the time to create a genuine connection with each one. My hope is that you’ll return home to a settled companion with the confidence that they were treated like a cherished member of my own family. I currently have open availability as I am working instacart and obtaining my Yoga teacher training certification. If you need someone reliable and loving to take care of your fur baby, I will be there! I understand that every pet and every family has unique routines and preferences. My priority is to provide care that aligns with your pet’s normal schedule so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care, I’m happy to accommodate your needs. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping it clean, tidy, and secure. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a home that’s just as you left it.

About: I don't just love dogs; I know how to take care of them responsibly. As much as working with animals is enjoyable and fun for me, I am aware of the responsibility and skill level required to maintain a safe and healthy environment for your dog (or cat). I also know how hard it can be to leave your furry family members behind with a new person, so I'd love to reassure you with daily texts and photos of how our visit is going. I'm a former animal care professional with experience as a vet tech, pet store assistant manager, and groomer, and truly have an interest in the health and well being of your pet. I'm the type of person that double checks and will pay attention to the small details in your pet's behavior and appearance. And of course, I absolutely love dogs. My favorite thing about them is their ability to break up the seriousness of a moment by being absolutely silly! I've had the chance to meet dogs of all types and temperaments, and am comfortable walking energetic, leash aggressive, or nervous dogs. I understand how important exercise and quality time are in making your pup happy. My resume and references are always available upon request. I’m currently working part-time and will have plenty of time to be at home with your fur baby. My hours are flexible and we can work on setting up a schedule specific to your pets’ needs. I mainly care for pets in your home, using guidelines you provide me with. I’m open to boarding requests but do not currently offer this service on short notice.

About: Ever since I can remember, myself as well as my family have loved and enjoyed dogs and they have always been a part of our family. I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. She was a rescue and I had her until I was 26 years old. Her name was Molly. We had many other dogs during that time. My sister's and I were who cared for them all. Although this is my first time running a business caring for dogs, I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Some people call themselves a "people person". I call myself a "dog person". I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs. Dogs have always loved being with me. I care for them as if they were a child of mine. As I always have said, the more I get to know people; the more I love dogs! I'm currently a student at home so, I am available to give your pet my undivided attention. I treat all animals as if they are my own, like family. I love to spend quality time with animals. I also have good hygiene. I believe this is important because we all know how dirty animals can be. I am gentle and loving.
